Renji's eyes shifts open. "Aaahh." He yawns as he sits up on the floor. He looks around to see Rangiku clinching onto his robes. His head is swirling and it just clicks to him that he never finished his talk with Byakuya. "Shit..." He grumbles. "...he got away again." He rubs his eyes. Now that he is thinking about it, where is his lover? He starts to notice the time of day, He's late. Renji walks over to the knocking sound on the door, leaving Rangiku still sleeping on the floor.
"Fuku-taichou Abarai Renji. I request a word with you." A messenger announces through the office door.
"Yeah. I'm coming." Renji fixates himself before slightly opening the door. He doesn't want anyone to see Rangiku there, especially not any gossiping messengers of the gotei thirteen. "Can I help you?' He slouches in front of the door.
"Yes I have reached word from head taichou Yamamoto." the messenger pulls out a scroll and hands it to Renji.
Renji opens it and reads... "Urgent Notice: You are to be sent to the world of the living." Immediately his eyebrow begins to raise. "The world of the living? What the hell? Why do I have to go? Who else is coming with me?" He reads on to see if anyone is to accompany him along in this mission.
"I think you are the sole member on this mission." The messenger replies.
"Just me?! What for?!" Renji clenches his fist.
"Maybe head taichou doesn't believe in your loyalty that much considering your recent activity." He looks away and chuckles. "Well that is the word around, you know."
"What did you just say?!" Renji raises his arm and prepares to strike but doesn't. "Alright... find Kuchiki-taichou and tell him I'm leaving shortly."
"Oh, I already have sir. I seen him just before I presented you with the news. In fact I think he might have suggested you to report to Karakura town." Renji is curious now. The messenger has seen Byakuya around the office but he didn't come pick up his daily paperwork? And why would he want him to be sent to Karakura town?
"Tell the head taichou the message has been received."
"Will do sir." The messenger embarks on a new journey down the hall. Renji slides the door close and walks over to Rangiku.
"Wake up Mastumoto-kun." He shakes her but she just still sleeps. Renji inhales a large breath and yells. "WAKE UP!" While shaking her wildly now. Rangiku jumps to her feet.
"What?" She screams.
"You have to go now." He looks at her with the evil eye.
"What happened last night?" She looks down and notices her boobs are popping out of her kimono more then usual.
"Nothing serious, we fell asleep but its morning now and we both have work to do so goodbye." He rushes her out the door.
Renji wastes no time packing his belongings. While stuffing the remainder of this clothes into a sack then he starts thinking about this 'urgent mission' he's going on. Byakuya wants him in karakura town? "He must be running away again." Then Ikkaku's words rings through his ears and makes the decision to follow this advice; but for now duty calls and for once he wasn't going to disobey these orders, He wouldn't want old man Yamamoto to chastise him. Renji arrived at the top of the hill holding his bags in hand. Most of his peers where there to bid him farewell but not Byakuya so he immediately traveled through the official senkaimon not even taking a glimpse to look back.
Renji stood in front of Ichigo's school yelling his lungs out in search of Ichigo. "Where are you hiding? Come out here." Everyone's in Ichigo's class is searching for the face that voice belonged too. Renji inhales once more. "ICHIGO KUROSAKI! You're up there don't pretend your not!" The whole class rushes over to the nearest window. Eyeballing Renji everyone can tell he isn't from Karakura town. With his bright yellow t-shirt, flare pant bottoms and a ridiculous looking hobo hat. They all concluded once more Renji is definitely not from Karakura town. Out of sheer embarrassment Ichigo rushes out of his class, out of the school and runs Renji and himself smack dab into the bushes. Renji bumps his hard head into the tree. He looks on at the heavily breathing Ichigo.
"What are you so excited about?"
"Excited?! You think you might explain what the hell you are doing here?" Ichigo huffs with a crazed look on his face. Renji looks at him before stretching his gigai.
"It seems I've been put in charge of Karakura town. Urahara-san told me where you were. I came to see you and thats the story. Now I'm in charge." Renji pokes out his chest making a manly gesture to complement his words.
"You are, are yah?" Ichigo says sarcastically. "You're just a fukutaichou heh... you got demoted." Ichigo raises a eyebrow and laughs. Renji's blood pressure raises to high hell. "I DID NOT!!! I had to come over here because of idiots like you leaking reiatsu." He nearly busts a blood vessel.
"What are you talking about?" Just as Ichigo finishes his statement, his substitute soul reaper badge rings off.
Signaling the hollow arriving in the school court yard. It drags its lazy feet towards the school building in search of fresh meat. Just in the moment Ichigo jumps into the air and slices the sword straight through the hollow, killing it in a instance. Ichigo rushes back to Renji in the bushes, somehow he finally manages to slip out of his gigai, not like his soul reaper powers are needed now.
"Don't leave your body lying around like that hurry up and put it on." Ichigo screams to Renji even though he is standing right next to him.
"I don't want to go back in, I just got out of it!" Renji makes a fuss like a child.
Ichigo resumes his soul into his body and proceeds to tell Renji off about being at his school. Renji doesn't really know what to say in this moment. After all he really wasn't much help a few seconds ago. Renji huffs it off and heads back to Urahara's shop. He walks in and sits at the set table of food and new faces. Tessai, Jinta and Ururu were already digging in without him, while Urahara and Yoruichi just watches. He plops down, picks up his chopsticks and starts eating.
In that moment they all peek their bowls to look at Renji. He was hungrily stuffing his mouth with rice and he didn't even thank them for the food they provided. How rude is he? Tessai thought. "So are you ready for seconds yet?" Tessai lowers his bowl and continues to watch Renji's nasty table manners. It is as if he were never fed in the seireitei. "I wouldn't want you to think just because your a moocher you couldn't ask for seconds." He continues on while raising the serving spoon. "How about it? Would you like another meal mooch-san?" Tessai glares through his glasses.
"Umm, Yeah I guess so." Renji doesn't give it much thought.
"Wow! You're the first one to get seconds, but don't worry you go right ahead mooch-san!" Ururu teasingly smiles at Renji.
"Come on... don't be shy." Tessai says. Renji starts to hand his bowl over and then Jinta adds his two cents.
"Why stand on manners when a sponger like you needs seconds, go on eat up!" All the comments of Renji being a mooch and sponger tends to rattle his nerves that he stops thinks about it.
"Speaking manners, how can our guest feel comfortable asking for seconds with you calling him a mooch, right moocher-san?" Urahara intervenes. Renji looks down at his nearly empty bowl and decides he cant ask for seconds, not today and not tomorrow. In fact he can't even finish the rest of his rice, How can he stomach the food knowing he is being a bit of a free loader.
"Oh by the way, you need to clean the front of the shop after all its the least you can do as a moocher!" Jinta makes fun of him. Then Tessai assertively asks if he needs more seconds while Ururu co-signs and Jinta evilly chuckles. Renji places the bowl and chop sticks on the table and looks at them.
"Thanks but I couldn't eat another bite." He rises to his feet and exits the room.
He needs a place to think, he goes into the guest room and pulls himself out of his annoying giigai. How could he think being cramped in a body like that for so long? He walks outside the shop pounces onto the roof top, he breathes in the warm night air. It isn't his usual thinking place but it would do for now. "Moocher-san huh?" He sits down and leans his head back to the moonlight sky. "Didn't know I was such a bother." He pulls out the small scroll containing the message to report to Karakura town. He searched for a deadline or something indicating when he could return to the soul society, but nothing.
He had only been there for four days and he is already being driven insane. How long is he going to have to go without being beside his belove Byakuya? In fact he wonders, why didn't his taichou see him off before he crossed over to the world of the living? He would usually be there but not this time."Aarghh." Renji becomes more and more annoyed. He wants... no, he needs to be next to Byakuya right now. To smell his hair, taste his lips and thrusts into him would make all the worry go away. Renji jumps down from the roof top, If Byakuya isn't going to see Renji then Renji is going see Byakuya he concludes.
