Who's Got My Back

Character: Renji Abarai

Run...hide

All that was sacred to us

Sacred to us

See the signs

The covenant has been broken

By mankind

Leaving us with no shoulder...with no shoulder

To rest our head on

To rest our head on

To rest our head on

I looked up to him as a leader. I trusted his judgment. I thought he worked for the good of Soul Society. I was wrong. Sōsuke Aizen is a liar. Sōsuke Aizen is manipulative. Sōsuke Aizen is a traitor.

Who's got my back now?

When all we have left is deceptive

So disconnected

So what is the truth now?

Who can I turn to now? Who can I trust now? I'm so confused. I'm so angry and confused. Is there no one out there to help me? Is there anyone who hears my desperate cry?

There's still time

All that has been devastated

Can be recreated

Realize

We pick up the broken pieces

Of our lives

Giving ourselves to each other...ourselves to each other

To rest our head on

To rest our head on

To rest our head on

Maybe hope isn't lost. Maybe there's still good in this world. Maybe there are still people out there who believe that the good in this world is worth fighting for, and needs protecting.

Who's got my back now?

When all we have left is deceptive

So disconnected

So what is the truth now?

Tell me the truth now...Tell us the truth now

Ichigo believes the good in this world needs to be fought for. Rukia believes it. Even Captain Kuchiki believes. If they can believe it, maybe I can too.

…They have my back.


Author's note:

Wow. This the shortest songfic I've written and it's the one that's taken me the longest to get out. I had a hard time thinking of an idea for this one.

I decided to do Renji's thoughts after Aizen's betrayal. The song pretty much speaks for itself so I wasn't sure what to add, but I think I made it work.

Reviews are welcome and appreciated!

God Bless,
