Chapter 6: The Past

Renji began to scream at the top of his lungs as he stumbled forward and crashed onto the hard floor beneath him. He was tired and weak. He pushed himself up and leaned against the door, helping Ulqiourra to stop the intruder in coming into the household.

"Don't try and fight me, my delicious pet. You know how much your ass wants my beautiful and colossal cock," the intruder said in his usual smooth voice although lust was apparently dripping out in the form of his words.

Renji yelped as he felt a strong grip on his arm. He widened his eyes as he lowered his eyelashes to know what the hell was gripping. He gulped hard, enduring the burning pain in his throat. He closed his eyes, wishing mentally that it was just Ichigo playing around with him. He gritted his teeth as the grip around his arm tightened. He wanted to hiss at the pain and he knew that a large bruise would form. His eyes instantly went to the side only to be greeted by an up-coming face. He could define the widening smirk adorned on that horrible intruder.

He let out a shriek in delight horror as he noticed the gap between the door and the outside was widening. He bit his lower lip as he stayed focus on the intruder who was now squeezing himself between the gap to be into the house. He pushed himself forward and sent a swift kick towards the monster. When his ankle had been grabbed, he hurled his fist forward. A satisfied look adorned on his face as he could feel his knuckles shoved the intruder away. He saw the retreating form and chose this chance to lock the door once and for all. He kicked the door closed and quickly with trembling hands, he fastened all the locks. He fell onto his knees, tears were flowing out at the corners of his eyes. A hand held on his right chest as if to sooth the rapid pounding of his heart. He gulped down the lump in his throat. He was aware that he was trembling. He could hear the taunting words echoing in his mind. He wrapped his arms around himself as he imagined the cold breath tickling his sensitive ear.

"Open up, sweetheart," came that voice which was followed by harsh pounding on the door. His body tensed and bounced slightly as he saw the door jerked. He was sure if the 'knockings' did not die down, the door would eventually give in and burst the door. Stabbed with fear, he curled himself into a ball, shaking his head and muttering something incoherently. He let out a soft and high-pitched yelp when he felt a cool hand touched his bare shoulder. He began to thrash around as breath began to caress the side of his face. He failed to hear the words. He failed to notice Ulqiorra with his worried expression. He shoved his cousin away, mistaking him for that monster. He let out loud screams as his mind kept on replaying scenes which had them defile his body, his pure soul. They played around with his soul, breaking and crushing it.

"Get away from me! Get away!" cried Renji hysterically as he trashed around.

"Ahh, what's wrong my beautiful love? Are you writhing in pain? Are you suffering? Do you want me?"

Renji let out a hoarse cry as he felt cold hands holding on each side of his face. He was screaming yet again.

Ulqiourra stared at the empty and lifeless reddish-brown orbs. He had to snap his cousin out from his trance. He kept calling out for his name since he did not know what to do. Renji kept on responding with screams and even packed a few weak punches on his face to which he calmly dodged. The pounding and banging on the door did not help to brighten the situation. He knew that Renji was stuck in the sea of fear. And the departure of Ichigo did not help as well. No one was here to be able to comfort him except himself. He was not the one to show display of affection and he had no clue on how to calm the redhead down. He suspected that a few kisses here and there plus mimicking Ichigo's voice if he ever could, would help Renji to calm down. Knowing full well that it was hard to mimic Ichigo's voice since Ichigo's voice would be full of emotions and as for himself, he knew very well that his own voice was nothing but of a emotionless bastard. But he did try his best anyway. Sucking in a deep breathe, he whispered with concern and care punctuated in his words. "Renji, I'm here for you." Knowing that Ichigo would plant a kiss on the forehead, he did so as well.

"Ichi-nii?" Renji whispered as he relaxed. His arms wrapped around the other and he buried his face on the crook of his shoulder. He could feel the other tensed up and he looked up, smiling so brightly at the sight of his older brother, his tired mind playing tricks on him. That bright smile was not for Ulqiourra who was actually holding him in place and not Ichigo. Plus the insecurity he had faced, he could not differentiate reality from dreams anymore. "ichi-nii, I'm glad you're here."

"No, I'm not your brother, Renji."

Renji's eyes widened. His mouth slightly agape.

"Ichi-nii? What's wrong? It's me, Renji!" Renji said, alarmed and worried.

"I'm not your brother!" came the slightly harsh voice.

The memory of being abused by his beloved brother played across in his mind, making him speechless.

"I'm not your brother!"

"Ichi-nii, but why?" Renji whispered as he tugged onto Ichigo's shirt. He bit his lower lip as his eyes brimmed with tears widened at the cruel statement. "But, I am your brother, Ichi-nii," he firmly stated, wanting to change Ichigo's doubts. He could see the hatred swarming around the amber eyes, the hatred was directed at him and he knew why. Ichigo never liked Renji ever since he was born into the family and Renji never knew why his brother acted like that. He wasn't sure what had he done wrong to cause Ichigo to be this mad at him when he returned from the Kuchiki household since Byakuya could not take care of him.

He always called the Kurosaki residence and had a few chats with his older brothers, Ichigo and Hichigo during the stay at the Kuchiki household. He never stopped thinking about his two brothers. So, why was Ichigo so mad at him?

"Ichigo, what's wrong with you?!" hissed Hichigo. "Seriously! What the fuck has became of you?! Renji is OUR brother! Don't act as if he's a stranger! And don't tell me that he didn't exist because I bloody fucking know that he DOES exist!" Hichigo continued to screech at his twin brother.

He eyed Ichigo and backed away from him. Those amber eyes, filled with so much hate and venom, were making the poor child melt under the hot glare. He was so confused. He always had loved his brothers deep down his heart even though they treated him like trash. They even ignored him and even 'forgot' to make him breakfast, lunch and dinner. When he was so utterly sick, they would simply pretend that he did not exist in the household. He endured all those harsh comments coming from Ichigo. He endured all the nights sleeping on the floor with nothing to cover him up and no pillows to hug or support his head. Even when he wanted to sleep at the couch, something would be placed there which was impossible for him to move them away. But then, he still loved them and he had the right to hate them but nope, he did not.

"WHAT?! IS THERE SOMETHING ON MY FACE?!" snapped Ichigo.

Renji jumped slightly at the tone. Tears had became to roll down his cheeks when the glare fixated on him increases. The overwhelming glare enveloped him, making him to shudder and collapse to his knees. His head hung low, unable to look up at Ichigo anymore. He let out a cry when he heard that commanding, harsh and cold tone once again. He bit his lower lip just to stop his lips from quivering. He kept on blinking his eyes to fight the urge to spill more tears. He could hear his brother curse once more about him, about how useless he was, how stupid and irritating and annoying he had been.

"Ichigo, are you out of yer mind?! How could you say those stuff to him?! I endure all your stupid complaints and kept my mouth shut and you think I'm accepting whatever you are doing?! Ohohohohoho, damn wrong! Ya just havta be cruel to him huh?! WHY?! He's your brother, for fuck's sake! Why can't ya love him like how ya love me?" Hichigo screeched.

Ichigo countered back, "I hate that filthy piece of shit! I loathed him a lot! Look at that darn pathetic and weak look he has been supporting! Can you imagine him being a part of us?!"

Renji let out a sob.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DIMWIT!" scolded Ichigo as he slapped Renji hard on the face.

The child could only gasp in horror before settling to cry his heart out. The stinging burn on his face was just too much to endure. The slap only further broke his already pathetic and broken heart. Why couldn't Ichigo just treat him like how he treat Hichigo? What's the difference between them anyway? They may look different but their personalities were similar.

Hichigo let out a grunt as he dragged Ichigo away from the child. He placed his hands on his hips and barked at Ichigo. "Ya stupid asshole! How dare ya hit a child?!"

Ichigo simply let out a scoff as he crossed his arms.

Renji was backing up till his back caressed the wall behind him. He hugged his knees as he silently cried his pain out.

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!" Ichigo boomed his voice, making the poor child jolt and looked up.

Renji hugged himself tighter as he saw Ichigo stomping towards him with a 'I-shall-kill-you' expression. Was him being in the household was affecting him so negatively? A sharp cry was ripped out from his throat as he felt calloused hand smacked him across the face once more. The pain did not end there however. For each cry Renji let out, Ichigo would simply slap him, kick him and even punch him.

"Hichi-nii, h-help m-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU PIECE OF USELESS JUNK!" Ichigo yelled whilst slapping the child shut.

Hichigo stood there, staring at his two brothers. He was too shocked to even move to protect Renji. Too stunned at how Ichigo reacted.

"HICHI-NII!" cried Renji as Ichigo began to pull him up by the hair.

Hichigo snapped out from his shock and smacked Ichigo on the face as a wake-up call. That simply put more anger into his twin.

Ichigo glared daggers at Renji and dragged him by the hair towards to his bedroom. He kept on muttering curses.

Renji struggled to break free from the deathly grip. It hurt so much. He felt as if he was going to be bald. Tears were streaming down his face. His throat was burning for he had been shouting and screaming and crying. He tried to pry the large fingers from the tight grip around his hair but failed. That only caused Ichigo to tighten the grip. He was letting out loud and harsh pants at the same time.

"ICHIGO, LET HIM GO!" shrieked Hichigo. He kicked Ichigo on the gut, hard enough to make him release the grip on Renji's hair to double over. He quickly snatched Renji away and pulled him into a hug and protect him from the crazy strawberry.

Ichigo glared even harder than before at Renji. He hated how Hichigo wrapped his arms around that useless idiotic child. He unbuckled his belt. He had to teach Renji a lesson. But first, he needed Hichigo to get out of his way. He pretended to be apologetic. He was a good actor after all. The belt slipped in between his fingers on purpose as he put his act up. He ran towards his brothers, forcing him to cry. He mumbled about being an idiot and that he was just furious about something that happened in school. Hichigo believed him and he instantly let go of Renji. Ichigo pulled Renji into a hug and began to apologise repeatedly. He made sure that he sounded regretful. He clenched his fists as he felt the child wrapped his thin tanned arms around him. He fought the urge to rip the child's heart out when he felt a kiss on his cheek. He wanted to kill Renji so much when he whispered 'I love you, Ichi-nii.' He did not need Renji's love. He just need Hichigo's love and affection.

Hichigo relaxed and wiped his tears away at the display. Renji looked so cute and comforted under the arms of Ichigo.

"Hichigo, can you buy us food? I'm hungry," stated Ichigo.

Hichigo nodded and simply left the house to buy food, not knowing that Ichigo had some devious plans set for Renji.

Renji was so contented that Ichigo finally showed some affection for him. He was so joyful that he had to send a kiss on the cheek. He could not express how delightful he was, being hugged by Ichigo, the one he had badly wanted to gain attention and love from. He was glad that his two brothers had loved him finally. The pleasure of getting loved by them had resulted him to crying, however these tears were filled with happiness of course. He hugged his older brother tighter, loving the warmth embraced him. He wished that Hichigo could join in the hug but too bad, he was to buy food for them. "Ichi-nii, I love you," he stated proudly as he placed his chin on Ichigo's shoulder. He was about to drift to sleep when a sharp slap came across his face.

"DON'T TOUCH ME, YOU FLITH!" Ichigo boomed. He pulled Renji by the hair once again and dragged him to the bedroom. In the process, he picked up his belt. A sinister smirk adorned on his face. He tossed Renji in, loving the moment when the child hit his back against the wooden wardrobe with a loud thud. He licked his lips as he heard a frightened gasp coming from the child. With a belt clutched tightly on one hand, he walked towards Renji with a smug look. He was on his knees in front of the child. He brought the belt up and asked in a devious tone, "Do you know what am I going to do to you with this?" He let out a dark chuckle as he saw the child shook his head in fright. He slapped Renji on the face before sending the belt to his body.

Renji let out a cry but was muffled by Ichigo's hand. His eyes widened at the devilish eyes and the poker face that brought him goosebumps. He cried once more when the belt came contact with his skin once more. The sharp stinging pain had made Renji crying himself out till tears seemed to be out of stock.

Ichigo pulled Renji up by the hair. He tugged the silky red strands tight. He brought the belt up and used it as a tool to slap Renji on the face. He snickered rather darkly as blood spurted out from the child's mouth. He continued on beating the child everywhere, not caring about the skin that had been ripped and blood was oozing out from the wounds. He tugged and pulled harshly on the hair. He slammed the head down to the floor suddenly, hearing a pleasant crack. He pulled Renji up, loving the blood smeared around his face. He looked down and let out a laugh upon seeing a few teeth on the floor.

Renji shook his head violently. His mouth was opened but no words came out. He was bleeding everywhere. The pain was everywhere as well. His eyelids grew heavy and he decided that it was time for him to rest...

Renji was returned to the reality at the voice of Grimmjow-sensei.

"You alright Renji?"

And... Ta-da! That's all for this chapter! Although I had stated that there would not be anymore mentioning of Ichigo, it seemed that there was no way I'm doing that. As you can see, the story progressed a lot between the brothers so Renji loving Grimmjow will be in a later few chapters... Im sorry that this chapter became this... depressing.

Ina: ...

Me: What?

Ina: Sooo... you're trying to say that there would be more chapters of IchiRen then? How about GrimmRen?

Me: I dunno?
