GoodLuckMotherFuckers: Hello y'all, here in the big city! Here is Ch5! I consider this chapter to be a filler of some-what, also I made small reference to "Alice and wonderland" and I plan on making a bigger reference to "Peter Pan" later on. Someday I would love to write an AU story where Renji like Peter Pan, and Orihime is Wendy character, and Rukia is Tink, etc, etc. It won't be like the Disney Peter Pan, just Peter Pan theme if that makes any sense. _ But that won't be for awhile, but look at for that one! Enough of my rambles, enjoy!
I like to deicated this chapter to my former Beta-Reader, Not so Anonymous, who did so much work for this fanfic. ^_^

Orihime ran down a mysterious hallway chasing after a strange rabbit of the most vibrant orange, which was chasing after a small black colored hamster—
"Rabbit-san! Please come back!" Orihime cried out reaching for the rabbit. She had no idea why she was chasing the poor orange rabbit. But everything in her was shouting, she must get that rabbit!
"Rabbit-san!" Orihime shouted as the two animals faded away into the darkness; leaving her to fall down a rabbit hole that magically appeared beneath her feet.
"Rabbit-san, please come back! Please don't leave me behind! Not again!" Orihime screamed, feeling her body falling faster and faster down the dark hole.
"Rabbit-san! Rabbit-san!" Orihime chanted, suddenly feeling water pour into her shouting lungs.
"Rabbit-san!" Orihime yelped as she sprang into out of her slumber. Grey orbs blinked, feeling a sudden dampness around her face and night clothes, which all gave off a very strong fire scent.
"Orihime-chan! A sugary voiced whined, "Are you alright?" the voice questioned. Orihime let out a soft cough from the strong scent, it making her insides turn. "Hai Rangiku-san," Orihime replied looking down at her twisted bed sheets.
"You were crying and moaning, I thought you were with Renji. So I came in wanting to see!" Matsumoto said grinning ear to ear. Orihime stared back at the strawberry blonde with dark crimson on her cheeks, surprised she admitted that so casually.
"But then I found you all alone," Matsumoto said pouting, "Chanting the name Rabbit-san!" Matsumoto intimated doing her best Orihime impersonation, which was a higher, squeaky voice.
"Rabbit-san! Rabbit-san!" Matsumoto cried out, still doing her best dramatic impersonation of Orihime. Matsumoto's antics pulled a giggle from Orihime, helping her forget the heartache that dream had brought upon her.
Matsumoto gave Orihime a bright smile, "So, I went next store to your neighbors to borrow sake because we ran out last night!" Matsumoto tearfully added, "But you're a heavy sleeper, so I ended up throwing it all over you so you would wake up, because that's how I wake up in the morning!" Matsumoto purred to a wide eyed Orihime.
"Oh my, that explains the smell and wetness then," Orihime thought still staring at the cheering Matsumoto, "I hope the smell goes away for school…"
"School!" Orihime shouted, jumping from her bed, scaring Matsumoto in the process. Matsumoto watched the young healer with confusion as Orihime ran around her room getting dressed as fast as she could. The teenager paused in her rush to pick up her hairclips, as she never forgot the trusty accessories.
Small lips formed a wide grin on a pale face as a figure floated in the sky over the small town. "So this is my prey, huh?" a dark voice asked himself. "This should be fun." The stranger continued to grin before disappearing into thin air.
A long howl escaped Renji's dry lips which quickly turned into fits of hearty laughter. Renji wheezed, bent over halfway towards the ground, pointing at the twitching Quincy.
"Soul Reaper," Ishida drawled out, pushing his eye glass's towards his face. Ishida continued to obverse the soul reaper in pure annoyance.
Renji continued with his loud laughing, gasping for air in between each chuckle. Ishida let out loud annoyed sigh, clearly wanting to move on. "Have you simply gone mad?" Ishida questioned. "You're behaving like a stupid hyena! Now answer my question!" Ishida angrily trumpeted out, reaching for his spirit bow the second time that early morning.
"Shit! Why the hell did you aim that at me?" Renji growled jumping on to the fence to avoid the blast.
Ishida smirked, posing himself to get ready for a fight. "Finally you get serious," Ishida retorted back at the glaring red head.
Renji rolled his eyes, "How am I supposed to behave then?" Renji asked, turning his head a bit to the side and spitting on the ground. "Listen, I have no problem with you buddy, so why don't you just move on before I break that face of yours?" Renji half heartily threatened.
Ishida let out a short chuckle, "Excuse my suspicious behavior, but it seems like every time you are here, someone's life gets messed up," Ishida commented, referencing Renji's last appearance in the Living World – the one that took Rukia back to the Soul Society. "So you must understand my concern for Inoue-san's welfare when you are involved."
Renji stared wide eyed, before turning to a full on glare. He then promptly jumped off the metal fence he went to for safety, landing in front of the Quincy. Their proximity allowed the two to send each other frigid glares.
"I don't trust Kurosaki, you, or any other soul reaper for that matter-" Renji let out a battle cry, running towards the shocked Quincy before he could finish, grabbing his shirt.
"Don't you lump me together with that jerk! I'm nothing like him, you hear me?" Renji shouted at the stunned Ishida.
Ishida stared at Renji dumbfounded for a moment before forming a small smile, "I believe I misjudged you, soul reaper," Ishida said calmly at the confused soul reaper.
Out of breath Orihime hurried down the hallway towards her homeroom, she had worked up quite a bit sweat running to school today so she wouldn't be late. She could feel the strands of her hair as they stuck uncomfortably to her forehead.
Quickly breathing in, Orihime paused to brush her hair behind her ears, now ready to start the day. "Sensei, I'm so sorry I'm late I over slept and I...," Orihime said, opening the homeroom door only to pause at the sight in front of her.
"I…" Orihime paused, still letting her mind register what she was seeing.
"Inoue Orihime, you're late, please take your seat as we welcome our new student, Abarai Renji."
Orihime sat down at her desk, still flabbergasted that her soul reaper husband, was introducing himself to her homeroom classroom as Ishida's cousin no less! "This should be an interesting day,"Orihime fearfully thought.
"Lunch!" Keigo sang, bouncing around the classroom before stopping to lurch near his prey. "New kid, are those real?" Keigo asked gleefully, jabbing his fingers at Renji's facial tattoos. "Or did you loose a fight against a black marker?" Keigo teased. Renji twitched, before reaching out to grab the rambunctious boy's fingers.
"Ouch! Don't break my fingers! I need them to please my many, many women!" Keigo sobbed as Renji nonchalantly squeezed Keigo's hand in a death grip.
Orihime tilted her head to the side as she watched the redhead bond with her fellow classmates during break time. She wanted desperately to speak with him, but wasn't sure if it was okay.
"My beautiful Hime-chan!" a voice sang in the air, distracting Orihime's thoughts, "Eek!" Orihime shouted as she fell to the ground from being attacked and rub against.
"Hime, Hime, Hime," Chizuru gleamed happily rubbing her face against Orihime's bosom, "My love for you burns brighter each day…eh?" Chizuru paused before sniffing the air and following the scent against Orihime.
"Ch-Chizuru-chan?" Orihime furiously blushed, being sniffed and smelled by Chizuru was something she wasn't use too, and it was making her blush a deep red.
Renji watched the event unfold and could only sigh, he was starting to get amazed at how many times his wife got molested in public by different women. "Please! Uncle! Aunt! Grandpa and Nana! Let go!" Keigo wailed.
Renji snapped his head back to the wailing teen, "Oops, forgot about you there," Renji muttered, letting go of Keigo's hand; leaving him to cry in the corner muttering his revenge on the new student.
"Hime-chan!" Chizuru suddenly said from her deactivation, "I know that smell! You are rinsed with alcohol!" Chizuru triumphantly stated. Orihime began to squirm and panicked under Chizuru grasp, "Oh no! I forgot to shower after the sake shower Rangiku-san gave me this morning!" Orihime thought, wish Tatsuki to appear but knowing better she wouldn't because of martial arts tournament she was in.
Chizuru's outburst of Orihime reeking of alcohol seemed to gain everyone's attention in the classroom. Renji rolled his eyes as he walked over, human school was ridiculous.
"What happened, Hime-chan? Did a manforce you to drink so he could have his evil ways with you?" Chizuru asked with fire in her eyes.
"Oi! That's enough already!" Renji stated, ready to pull the human off the healer.
"Blah! Do not lay one finger on me, man!" Chizuru growled at the twitching red head.
"Why don't you be quiet?" Renji retorted back. He wasn't having a good morning.
"Chizuru-chan! Renji! Please don't fight!" Orihime cried, rushing towards the two. By this time the classroom's full attention was on the threesome watching with full interest as they abandoned their lunches in favor of the show.
Chizuru gave Orihime a look, "Orihime, do you know this man?"
"So what if she does?" Renji challenged behind the flustered Orihime.
"You must be the reason why Orihime smells of alcohol then! Your scary looks prove it! What did you do to her, you fiend? Was her innocence lost?" Chizuru screamed with fury, pointing at the soul reaper who continued to get angry as the girl went on.
"Come on keep talking!" Renji demanded, fanning the flames of Chizuru's rage.
Keigo came over next to Mizuiro, who was of course texting on his cell phone, "My money's on the new kid," Keigo whispered. "I think he works for the Yakuza!"
Mizuiro paused in his texting to look up at the fight, "Chizuru-chan," before continuing to punch away on his phone.
"Are you dating my beautiful Hime-chan?" Chizuru growled, stepping closer to the nervous looking Orihime and very annoyed Renji.
Renji looked into Orihime eyes for a second, before letting out smirk, "So what if I am? Or more!" Renji heartily laughed knowing the secret Orihime and him shared.
"I'll kill you!" Chizuru shouted leaping in the air and landing on Renji.
"Shit!" Renji hissed as he fell to the ground with Chizuru on top of him, "Stop pulling my hair! Ouch!"
"Die!" Chizuru screamed, digging her nails into his scalp.
"Please! Chizuru-chan, stop! Someone's going to get hurt!"Orihime desperately cried out.
"Inoue! Chizuru! Abarai! Please report to the office!" the teacher yelled after rushing in from hearing the loud noise from down the hallway. Meanwhile, the classroom began gasping and talking all at once; and in the back there was a smirking Quincy who quietly watching it all.
That afternoon several rumors were quickly spread throughout the high school, mostly started by Keigo, but the most famous and popular one seemed to be that Ishida's cousin, Renji, was working for the Yakuza and had kidnapped Orihime one night and gave her alcohol so she would be his love slave.
Orihime sat on the steps outside school waiting for Renji. School had ended an hour ago and all her friends had already left, even Chizuru after leaving Renji an extra death threat. The fight in homeroom had caused Renji to have his first detention, and Orihime decided she would wait for him to get out.
Renji and Orihime walked home together, but it was a silent walk. Orihime now and then would glance at the redhead, trying to figure out what he was thinking and feeling. Renji didn't seem to fit here, he seemed too wild for this tamed life she led, well use to.
"Did you like school, Renji?" Orihime asked, trying to start up a conservation. But the only repay she got was a low grumble, "It was better the first time around," Renji replied back vaguely.
Orihime gasped, "You went to school before?" Her question was accompanied by her finger pointing at the redhead.
Renji raised his eyebrow as they continued to walk. "Of course; we learn to become soul reapers."
Orihime nodded seeming fully interested, "Wow! I never knew that! I always thought you guys were born into it! But I never knew you guys had a school!"
Renji shook his head, and added, "It's different."
"So what made you re-enter school?" Orihime asked, silently wondering to herself how old her husband was, and realizing she didn't know much about him at all. This wasn't her dream marriage at all, she always thought when she became a newly wed they would be happily in love, and her husband would be Ichigo…
"Oi!" Renji jabbed Orihime thoughts, "Stop day dreaming so much" Renji muttered, causing Orihime to look down. That's what she always seemed to do throughout her life, daydream. "You should be fully alert of your surroundings all the time," Renji scolded.
"… It was Ishida's idea in the first place," Renji muttered darkly, reliving spending a day of hell and it was the Quincy's fault. Orihime slightly gaped at her husband after that piece of information.
"I told him I'm taking over Ichigo place why he's in the Soul Soceity with Rukia, so he kindlysuggested I start school as his cousin. 'Said it would be easier as cover living with you." Renji explained. "Thinking about it now, he probably just wants to keep his enemy close…"
Orihime paused to look at Renji, "That's all he knows, he doesn't know about our…marriage" Renji reassured, smiling to himself as he saw Orihime's apartment.
"This is getting so complicated,"Orihime thought, feeling her stomach turn. She shook her head, hoping that would clear out her stressful thoughts and trying to think better ones. "That was funny what happened today with you and Chizuru! At first I was worried, but now looking back…" Orihime paused when she noticds her husband wasn't as amused as she was.
"I wonder what Kurosaki-kun would think of it," Orihime said quietly to herself, causing Renji to groan as he sped up his walk. Orihime frowned at this, and her stomach pains returned.
"Renji... do you hate Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime caustically asked the stunned soul reaper.
GoodLuckerMotherFuckers: Enjoy! Till later! No spoiler this time, sorry guys :(
