Better Late than Never
Chapter Seventeen
This man has got to be the most twisted fuck on the planet. I can't believe he would take me to his mansion, into his bedroom, and ask me to murder the only man I ever loved. When the cold metal of the gun had touched my hand originally, and he uttered those ghastly words, I was tempted to turn the weapon on him instead. The moment was fleeting, shoot a crime lord in his own home and expect to get out alive, with not only my life but also a man who has been his prisoner for weeks. It's impossible.
So the only resource I had left was blind stupidity, and I had plenty of that, after all I'm in love. I taunted the man, with bold words that I meant with every ounce of my being. And as expected Byakuya took the bait and agreed with my mad outburst. I regained my composure turning and holding the gun to my temple.
"Gladly, under the condition" the Raven haired man quirks an elegant eyebrow at me in question, his eyes betraying his surprise in my change of character "you release Renji."
I had thought Ulquiorra was mad to chase after Grimmjow in prison, but now, I understand the emotion to drive such action. It was illogical and stupid, but it was living, and even now, knowing I'll never experience such intense emotion again. I don't care, my life involves far more then my selfish whims and desires. I have more, something to protect, and die for.
Grey eyes stare at me, trying to sum me up and after some contemplation he agrees.
"You have my word." He says as he walks around to his bedside table and removes an envelope. He opens the package and hands a passport, a health card and a Social Insurance Card to Renji. The red head takes them numbly. He looks down at the articles in his hands and back at Byakuya, his face unreadable. He turns to me; I expect a face of pained emotion, eyes cloudy with tears. His face however houses nothing but pure rage. He strides toward me, slamming the paperwork into Byakuya's chest, and continues till he is an arms length away. He brings his fist up in a powerful right hook that catches my jaw. The gun clatters to the floor in the commotion. I stumble to my knees leaning on the bed beside me for support. Shocked. He grabs the front of my shirt pulling me up with strength I had never seen before.
"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! HOW DARE YOU TRADE YOUR LIFE FOR MINE!" Renji growls face mere inches from mine. His features contorted in uncontrolled rage.
"DO I LOOK LIKE SOME HELPLESS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS, WILLING TO TAKE THE SACRAFICE OF THE MAN I LOVE LYING DOWN! DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT ME! IN THAT FUCKED UP LITTLE HEAD OF YOURS YOU THINK IM SOMETHING TO FUCKING DIE FOR?!" his voice calms and his grip looses slightly.
"Please for me, think of me as something to live for." He whispers breath ghosting over my lips. At this moment his epic speech flies from my mind and I'm preoccupied by the thought that we haven't been this close in months. I crash my lips to his, forgetting completely of the audience we have. I have missed this man. I knew he wouldn't take this easily, and god he is something to live for. But this is reality. Some things just don't work out so nicely. I break the kiss, panting slightly as I look into his eyes. I bring my hand up to caress his face.
"I never expected you to take this lying down." With that I shove him away, and lunge for the gun. He stumbles back falling on his ass taken aback by the sudden retaliation. My hand grasps the cold metal of the gun and I bring it once more up to my temple, I pull back the safety and pull the trigger.
I apologize for the shortness of the chapter, it had originally been part of one chapter, but I decided this was a nice place to break it up.
The Last chapter will be short as well
Warning in advance.
As always thank you
