Chapter 7: promise and suspicion
Ichigo, Ganju and Hanataro are back in the sewers. Ichigo is unconscious after the battle of Renji but before he fell unconscious, he made a promise to Renji
Flash back
Renji remembered his mistake on letting Rukia go and be adopted to the Kuchiki family.
'Rukia had found a family… a real family. And I knew I mustn't interfere….that what have keep telling myself' "but now that I think back, I think I was just scared to lose her. To lose the only family I ever have! not only that, I didn't want to face the fact that I'm nothing more than a stray dog!…and I'm sick of it." Renji stood up and started walking towards Ichigo.
"all I do is bark wildly at the moon…. I don't have the guts to bite!" when he finally reached to Ichigo, he grabbed him by the collar and said
"all this time I've been blaming you, for the fact that Rukia is been imprisoned. Every time I thought of you, it made my blood boil. But I was wrong, it wasn't you…it was me from the start. Because I didn't stop Rukia from going to the Kuchiki's. I didn't want her to go, but I never imagine that if she did, she'd end up as a contempt criminal. I thought she would find happiness, I really believed that! How could I ever known? I wanted so badly to surpass captain Kuchiki for taking Rukia from me. From the first day I saw him, I pursued him. By train with only thought of mind but even to this day, not once I've not been able to beat him. He's just…too strong! As much as I wanted to, I just didn't have the strength to get Rukia back that way. So Ichigo, now I'm swallowing by shame and my pride and I'm asking you to save Rukia. Will you promise? I'm begging you! Will you save her?"
Ichigo just stood there in shock till he finally said "yes…."
End of flashback
Meanwhile at the forth squad headquarters
"its Renji" Momo, lieutenant of squad five said.
"oh no….lieutenant…" whispered Kyoko. When Momo and Kyoko herd about Renji, they immediately came running. "when I found him he's was unconscious. If only I gotten there in time to fight along aside him, then none of this would've happened" explained Izuru, lieutenant of squad three.
"don't blame yourself Izuru. non of this is your fault" said Momo "yes, it wasn't your fault" agreed Kyoko. "well at any rate, the main thing is to take care of him" said Izuru. "I'll go make the call to the emergency relief team"
"that is out of the question"
they all turned to see…
"huh? captain Kuchiki" said Momo
"I want Renji taken to prison" demanded captain Kuchiki
Kyoko gasped. "what?"
Momo pleaded. "But captain, Renji's been badly hurt from fighting a ryoka by himself. Without treatment-"
"Then I'm afraid he'll die, it was his choice to enter that fight alone. In such situation, a defeat is forbidden, I have no use for a fool who does not understand that. The very sight of him still breathing offends me! Take him away!" he turned to leave.
Kyoko and Momo boiled in anger. "how dare you! Is that how you treat your men?" yelled Momo "you cant put lieutenant Abarai into prison! You just cant!-" exclaimed Kyoko but she was cut off by Izuru.
"Momo! Mogami!" Izuru paused and bowed to the captain. "oh a thousand pardons sir, they didn't mean it." then Kyoko and Momo did the same. Once he left,
Gin Ichmaru came out of nowhere "he's cold as ice isn't he?" makes you wonder of he even has a heart. That captain of squad six. But don't worry about Renji. I'll call in squad 4 so you wont get in trouble."
"you would do that really?" Momo asked. "absolutely. Its no problem. Come on Izuru" then gin and Izuru left. Kyoko decided to leave as well. "well, I guess I'll leave as well. Goodnight lieutenant Hinamori!" she bowed and left. Then someone with white spiky hair popped up behind Momo
"wow! Renji is in bad shape! What a mess!"
"Toshiro!" Momo exclaimed.
"hey hey, mind your manners now. You still have to address me captain you know!" Toshiro replied.
"oh you can forget about that! What with you captains creeping around like that? And why did you sneaked behind me like that anyways! What are you doing here Toshiro? Where's your lieutenant?" asked Momo
Toshiro became dead serious "I have come here to warn you"
"about what?" Momo asks
"be careful dealing with squad three"
"huh what does that mean? you mean Izuru?"
"well I actually meant captain Ichimaru but watch Izuru too" answered Toshiro
Toshiro told Momo about what happened in the captains meeting and overhearing captain Souske Azien and Gin Ichimaru talking. Apparently Azien discovered something about Gin. he told her to be careful
