AN: Oh, I just had to update this today. If you're lucky I might do another update in the evening. Again thank you so much for your reviews. I decided to go with this route and not the other crazy one that I had in my mind. I hope you enjoy this chapter and maybe it might explain a little.. or not :)

Chapter 10

When Renka woke up the next day she knew immediately that something was very wrong. She woke up in a room that was not hers. She was lying in a comfortable feather bed. A worried face of Kuchiki Byakuya was hovering above her. She sat abruptly up and looked at him. Before she could ask what had happened Byakuya spoke.

"Thank god you are finally awake. I was so worried when you did not come to work and I tried to call you. When you did not pick up your phone I went immediately to your house. I found you in your bedroom, but I cold not wake you up so I called a doctor. She said you have been drugged with some sleeping drug, but that you would wake up soon. I did not want to leave you unattended so I brought you to my house. What happened to you?"

"I don't know. I went to sleep last night like normally. Where is Takako? Is she here too, she ok?"

"She was not there when I came to your house. The door to your house was unlocked. Hidehiro tried to call her but her phone was at your house. No clothes of anything seem to be taken. All her personal items seemed to be there. I have already put up an investigation. Just stay calm and rest. I will call Dr. Unohana to see you."

Renka was shocked. Her instincts were screaming that her friend was in danger. Byakuya called for the doctor to exam her. Soon a woman in her thirties with braided black hair and blue eyes came to the room and the woman checked Renka for everything now that she was awake.

"Byakuya, she is fine now. The drug seems to be out of her system, but she might feel nauseated during the day. Make sure that she is well nourished and have her drink a lot of water. She has not been abused in any sort. Keep an eye on her. There are people in the house, your cousin and Soifon from your security are downstairs."

Byakuya simply nodded and thanked the doctor when she left. Someone had came and drugged Renka, then taken the other woman. It was a case of kidnapping, but because of their situation in business and social life Byakuya had to use his own security than the local police. He had dreaded to tell his cousin about this. Hidehiro had just begun to date the brown haired woman and the man would worry himself sick. They had no idea who was behind this and why. Byakuya was certain that Soifon would have to work hard to find out what was going on, but he know the woman would never give up a good chase. He had the best people in the business in this. Byakuya hated the fact that he could not continuously stay by Renka's side. In few days he and Hidehiro would have to take the business trip. He had tried to cancel it, but due to the delicate nature of the contract between Tousen and co it was necessary to do the trip. He was still glad that he had good house staff and he was certain that Rukia and her personal servant Neliel would keep Renka the company and security she needed. Byakuya did not want anything to happen to his girlfriend. That what she was to him.

On the other side of the town one silver haired man was smiling. He had informed his business partner that the plan was already in motion and he would not come to the office that day. Aizen had been pleased. The men were happy that soon their goals were fulfilled and the other two would be out of the picture. They had contacted an informant at the Kuchiki house and she had told him that the red head was currently staying at the Kuchiki residence and the head of Kuchiki security had been summoned to deal with the kidnapping of Takako. Aizen had been correct. Kuchiki's would not call the police and even if they ended up doing they had paid off couple of detectives to do their deed. The plan was still simple. Remove the two executives out of their way. Tousen had agreed to help them as well; the blind man owed it to them.

Currently Kuchiki Byakuya would keep a tight hold on Renka, but they were certain that the red head would come to them sooner or later. The Kuchiki could not keep an eye on her for too long. The man had to do work too and analyzing the red head had given Aizen the idea that the woman being too independent would drive her right to his arms.

After Gin had ended the call to Aizen and he stayed quiet for a moment. He stood up from his chair and went to a drawer. He opened it and pulled a thick folder. It contained everything. He opened it and pulled several photos, news papers articles and documents from it.

The most important document was laminated so it would never loose its contents. It was a marital certificate, dated seven years prior. The document stated that a marriage had been formed between Ichimaru Gin, age 22 and Kuwahara Takako, age 18. Gin smiled and pulled a picture from the pile. It was a photo of that day; Gin was dressed in black suit, his blue eyes open and looking at the woman smiling next to him. Takako was dressed in a beautiful cream colored wedding gown, made out of cheap satin. She had made the dress herself. She looked utterly beautiful with her bright green eyes sparkling with joy and happiness. She was looking at the camera and she had one of her most dazzling smiles on her face. Gin had loved her then and he still did. She was rightfully his.

They had been young. Gin had been in college, doing his final year in economics. Takako has been a senior in high school. A month before Christmas holiday they has met in a charity auction for orphans In Rugonkai where Gin had been helping with the charity organization, Takako had been one of the volunteer workers as well. They had fallen in love at first glance. It was the best feeling Gin had ever felt. Like sparks and adrenaline rushing in his veins. They had dated only few weeks and during the Christmas holiday they had gotten married secretly. Neither had spoken about it to their family or friends. It seemed that all they could see was each other. Takako had become an addiction to Gin and he had been reluctant to let her go back to school. Gin had become jealous. Takako spend time with her friends after school when she should have been spending her time with him. It had irked Gin, but had let it go for a moment. And then the joyful news Takako had given him, she was expecting. Gin had been so happy that he would have wanted to announce the news. The joy had been short lived when Takako had been tripped in stairs at school, by some stupid punk named Ggio something. Takako had taken the fall and lost her precious cargo. The doctors had told her that she needed time before they could try again. Gin had seen red and had gone to the kid who had destroyed their future child and he had beaten the young man to a pulp. Takako had been scared of him since then, and Gin had tried his best to calm her. Things had gone worse when he had been arrested and sentenced to prison from battery and assault. Takako had disappeared after filing for divorce. Gin had gotten out after two years for good behavior, he had finished his degree, but he never had signed the divorce papers. Since then his goal had been to get Takako back and resume their marriage and their future.

He had met Aizen Sousuke, an uprising business man and they had come back to Karakura to create business. They made good money and Gin had begun to search Takako. He had been sure that the woman would not go far. When Gin had seen Abarai Renka working for Kuchiki Byakuya he knew he was close. The red head had been Takako's friend years back. Following Renka to "The Bony grasshopper" was a bull's eye. His precious Taka-Chan was the co-owner of that establishment. He was so proud of her. Gin had kept stalking her after that. He had even been in the bar around the time Takako had been there. She had not seen him which had been a good thing, but what had made Gin hurry his plans was the damn tall Kuchiki drooling after her. She had no rights to even look at other men. It had pissed Gin off, but then he was a forgiving man. She must have missed him very much so she would seek comfort from someone else until they would be reunited again.

And now the fruit of his hard work was at his hands. His wife and soon the mother of his children was back here with him sleeping peacefully in their bedroom. Gin smiled again and put the documents back to the folder and its secure place. He left the office and went to the master bedroom. He had earlier prepared breakfast so Takako could gain her strength back and then they could plan their future together. Things could not go any better. The plans were in motion and the future looked so bright.
