Set during the Renaissance
The Shadow
Shadow's Mission
Renji and Ichigo moved through the streets of Soul Society with ease. At night less people were out due to the fact that Assassins roam around at this time of day, and also for their own safety from thieves. The two Assassins reached a large manor; it had a very elegant style to it notifying everyone that they were of royal court status. Two guards stood at the front gate of the large building, and upon seeing the two figures walking towards them caused them to be alert.
"Who goes there?" the tall guard spoke
"There is no visiting hours at this time." The round guard said
"We have business here so move aside." Ichigo answered
The guards looked at one another before pointing their spears at Renji and Ichigo. The orange hair male frowned and was about to ask again, but his high rank partner stepped in.
"We're here to see Lord Kuchiki, about matters of the royal court."
The tall guard was about to tell the two to leave,but a figure walked passed them and stopped before the Assassins.
"Renji and Ichigo what brings you two here at this hour?" the petite figure asked
"You know business as usually Rukia." Ichigo smiled at the noble women while Renji rolled his eyes
The young noble women, Rukia, smiled at Ichigo then told them to come inside. The three entered the manor and walked silently down the corridors filled with thousand of photos of decease Kuchikis. Renji felt unwelcome in these halls, as this was his previous home in his noble life. He was to be the second in command of Lord Kuchiki's army, but refused do to some personal problems with the Lord. The Lord and him never sought eye to eye and could never be in each others presences, and yet he was to be a commander in an army.
The red head Assassin took a deep breath and let it out. He stared at the two in front of him as they communicated with one another. Renji knew of his partner's love interest in Rukia, and also Rukia's interest for Ichigo. Yet they kept to themselves about it, which was good since Ichigo was an Assassin and Rukia was a noble women. They both had duties to up hold, and having a relationship during a war would be difficult. The three soon arrived at a door, which Renji recognized to be Lord Kuchiki's studies. Rukia knocked on the door, a voice allowed the three to enter.
"Kurosaki and Abarai, what brings you two here." The noble man with jet black hair said as he placed a book down
"It's about the shipment." Ichigo informed
"You mean the shipment of weapons?" Rukia asked
"Yeah, there will be a caravan carrying a large amount into town Tuesday Morning Western Gate." said Renji
"Then it's best we follow this cargo, and see where it's supposed to be dropped at." Byakuya suggested
"Ichigo and I will deal with it, but I hope you don't mind us staying for tonight and tomorrow night."
"It's alright as long as you don't disrupt this household." Byakuya glared at Renji.
