I don't own Bleach
Running from her apartment building to the school only took her a few minutes, and every couple seconds that damned beast would give out a loud scream. She had come to the conclusion that it had to be a spirit of some kind, because no one seemed to hear its consistent screaming. When she turned the corner to the school she ran right into someone, only a thought keeping her from landing hard on her ass. Shaking her head she searched for the mind of the person she'd run into, and groaned when she realized who it was.
"What the hell are you doing here at the school in the middle of the night, Fez?" She yelled looking down at the dark skinned male sitting down on the ground, rubbing his butt.
"I had a late practice with Mr. Deckler, for the upcoming band concert and was just leaving when you ran your fatass in to me, Renee. So I ask you, what the hell are you doing here?" He replied, looking up at her as he stood.
She shrugged and started edging around him, the creature was starting to sound a lot closer, "I figured I could use a good run."
'She's lying to me. Wonder what she's up to.' He gave a snort, and began dusting his expensive jeans off. "Yeah right, anyways, whatever you're up to just be careful, it's a full moon tonight and the werewolves are running as well."
"You know me, Fez, werewolves and vampires are my area of expertise. See you at school tomorrow." Renee yelled waving behind her as she continued on to the back of the school where she had seen the beast from her window.
"It's closer now, I can feel it. Must find it, must eat."
She followed its thoughts, running to the gate that lead to the football field. Standing there in the middle of the field was the beast, luckily enough the school had torn down the bleachers for remodeling, if not, then they would've been completely destroyed. Now that she was here standing close enough to it, she knew how much of a fool she was to be here with only her gun protect her. She could very well die this night.
Stealing her nerves she proceeded to climb over the chain link fence, making sure that her coat didn't get caught. Jumping down she landing easily on the paved track, her flip flops barely making a sound. As quietly as she could mange, Renee began to sneak around the monster, looking for any kind of opening or weakness. Finding nothing by just looking at it, she decided to mentally look for anything that could help her defeat this thing.
Kneeling down behind a near by shrub, she closed her eyes and tried to enter it's mind without being detected. And failed horribly. The moment she touched it's chaotic mind, the creature spun around and started moving her way, giving off one of those eerie screams.
Panicking, she threw her hands in front of her and tried to stop it with her powers. Only succeeding in slowing it down, and wearing herself out. Reaching into her coat she pulled out the 9mm handgun and pointed it right at the head. Before she could squeeze the trigger, someone wearing a black outfit stepped into her line of fire. Quickly moving her finger off the trigger she lowered it and stood up to tell the idiot to get the hell out of here. When she realized she couldn't hear his thoughts, or feel his presence. "Who are you?" she asked softly.
The man looked back at her, she caught a glimpse of brown eyes, and a pair of expensive sunglasses sitting on top of bright red hair that was pulled up into a high ponytail, causing it to stick out in every direction. He frowned down at her, and looked back at the creature, before answering her. "Well, I take it from the dumb look on your face that you can see me. You might wanna get outta here."
Coming out of her sudden blonde moment, she looked up at the back of the man's head and tried to get into his mind, searching for the answer she wanted. Only to come up with nothing but blackness. So either this guy had nothing going on in that big head of his, or she had just found the first person ever that she couldn't read. Turning her attention back on the scene playing out before her, she glared daggers into the back of his red head. "Hey, wait a damn minute." He looked back at her. "I can help, this is my school so it's my responsibility to try and protect the people who go here. Don't just shove me off like some powerless idiot."
"And what exactly can you do to help?" He looked down at the gun hanging at her right side. "Are you going to use that?"
She scowled, "I can do other things too asshole." Using her thoughts she pulled the sword off his belt and took it into her own hands. Red's eyes widen in shock, and she smirked. "See told ya so."
Snatching back his sword he turned towards the creature, "Listen that hollow is after you, so you might as well sit back and watch. It won't take but just a minute and you can continue doing whatever it is you were doing."
With that, he ran off and meet the 'hollow' head on, unsheathing his sword, "Roar Zabimaru," he yelled. Instantly his sword changed from a normal looking katana to a wicked looking weapon. He swung the weapon towards the hollow, it proceeded to extend into something that resembled a whip, slashing right though the hollow's mask, and with one final scream, it disintegrated into the night.
When it was all over, Renee looked around for the strangely dressed red head. He was sheathing his now normal katana a few yards away. Placing her gun back inside her coat she ran to catch up to him. "Hey wait," she called out to him.
He stopped and looked her. "What," he asked putting a hand on his hip.
When she got closer she could see that he had a lot of tribal tattoos on his chest and forehead, even his eyebrows were tattoos. Stopping before him she took a second to catch her breath. "What the hell was that thing anyways, and how did you do that with your sword?"
He frowned, "Do you always ask a lot of question?"
She smiled, "Well with you I have to ask questions."
"What's that suppose to mean?" He sounded offended.
"Normally I would just get the answer I want from someone's mind, by reading their thoughts. But for some reason, with you I can't see or hear anything." Renee tapped her temple. "You see, along with moving things, I can read and speak to people with my mind."
He gave another shocked look. "You're kidding right?"
"Nope," She shook her head and looked around. A house across the street had a light on inside. She pointed towards it. "You see that house over there?" She waited for him to look in the direction she was pointing. "Inside that house there's a man whose cheating on his wife with the neighbor while she's away."
"So you're telling me that there's a man in that home over there cheating on his wife with another woman. And you got all that by reading his thoughts?" He said in disbelief.
"I never said it was another woman." Consentrating she sent the thought to the 2 men inside to walk outside. "Give it a second and they'll both be out here waving at us." Two seconds later, a pair of partially undressed men walked out, waved in their direction and walked back inside the house.
"How the hell did you do that?" The red head asked.
"I told you already, I can read, control and speak to others with my mind." She looked down at her hands. "That's how I knew that thing was here. I heard its thoughts. When I got here I tried to enter its mind and got caught. I couldn't push it back with my powers so I was going to try and shoot it." She looked back up at him and gave a slight smile. "That's when you showed up and saved me. I owe you."
He shrugged, "Don't worry about it. It's my job."
"So do you need a place to stay tonight or do you have somewhere to go. My apartment is just a couple minutes away, and I could use the peace and quiet." She asked.
He looked at her confused. "You don't get any peace and quiet in your own home?"
She laughed, "Not when you can hear what the people living next to you are thinking. And since I can't read your thoughts it'll be a welcome change." Renee began to walk off in the direction of her place. When she got to the chain link fence she looked back at him. "Well are you coming or what? I swear I don't bite."
As she started climbing over the fence she felt a pair of hands helping her over. Looking down she saw him holding onto her hips. He smiled, "Don't worry I'm not trying to feel you up, promise, just helping you over." Once she was on the other side, he jumped over like it was nothing.
"How'd you do that?" She asked.
"It's just one of my special skills." He said giving her a cocky grin. "I'm Renji Abarai, by the way."
He stuck his hand out, taking it she replied, "Renee Duvall."
