Chapter XI: The First Wave

"I-,...I can't believe it...You mean she's not even..." Renji nodded still the gaze of stone stirring in his eyes, "Yeah..." Ichigo was completely in shock at what he just heard, "That's unbelievable..."

"No...It's madness."

"How long has it been since she found out?" Renji was quiet, "You mean she doesn't know?! Damn it people that's what is going to piss her off the most! Hiding secrets from her like that will cause Ren to have a melt down and she's just a-,"

"Shhh, damn it Ichigo what did I tell you? Her rooms just right above us." The boy covered his mouth and rubbed the back of his head with frustration, "Crap..."

"Kisuke says she only has a few more days left before her true transformation starts peaking. And knowing the Aizen he'll be coming for her too…" Ichigo's eyes widened when he heard that name. There was no way, he was dead right?

"How…"

"That barrier? Is only going to hold him for so long. Come on now it's Aizen…" Then, somehow, Renji started on the little knowledge that he knew of Ren's Origin.

Where she came from, "He was there when Kisuke created her. He knows what she's capable of and Kisuke, he has a feeling that Aizen's just waiting for the right moment to make a new appearance." Ichigo growled punching the side of the support beam with anger, "Why! Why did he do that to her?! Why didn't he just-,"

"Leave her as she was? Because...Curiosity got the best of him...Along with the help of Mayuri Kurosutchi, the current Squad 12 Captain pushing him along in his work...He didn't feel so bad. But what got him exiled was keeping her as his new found 'daughter'-, that and Aizen manipulating all of Soul Society.

~Flash-y Back-y~

Kisuke, after being made Captiain for Division of Squad 12, Kisuke had made it clear to his assistat-, at the time, that he wasn't Kurostuchi to be a part of his experiments, and such. Hiroi, his assistant thinking it was a bad idea to even let that man out of his cell, but after Urahara had already made a deal with the freaky clown faced prisoner, the man decided it would be best to take up the offer of tearing things apart, then to sit in the dingy cell for the next 100 hundreds.

But, on that same day, Kisuke had found something else that he had found much interest in.

"Hey! Will you hurry it up already! You made this offer and now you're going to diddle daddle down here a little more. Shall I make a bed down here for you as well!" Mayuri was impatient and ready for work, not waiting on the behalf of Kisuke who had noticed a small form reminiscing in the corner of a cell that had been to the far left of where the demented clown once stayed.

In fact, when the blonde got a better look of what it was, he gasped in utter shock to see it was a small girl with her arms wrapped around her legs while the heat of her long lavendar hair was the only thing that was keeping her half naked body warm. She was obviously shaking still though, that was certain.

From how filth ridden she was, and how long her spiritual energy was, Urahara could tell that this had been caged down her for far too long, "Oi! Baldy! What's the hold up!" his luetant was the one to call to him, bonking him on the head to get his full attention, but to only frighten the girl who finally noticed them, and backed even further into her corner.

"What the hell Kisuke ya ignoring me now!" Noticing that the Captain was straying somewhere else pissed the little blonde off and she kicked him so hard he doubled over…But he just managed to barely smile up at his lieutenant.

"Owe, No, no, sorry Hiori-Chan I was just…Looking at something…Well-, someone." Hirori's annoyed glare turned to the little panting girl in the corner now too, surprised to see her there, the strange little child scared and confused of what was going on.

"What's she doing down here in a dump like this?" The frizzled blonde asked putting her wrist to her hips as she wondered.

"Who cares! Let's go!" Mayuri snapped only to have Kisuke ignore the both of them and walked towards the kid.

From the girl's point of view, she didn't know how she got down there or why, but she was, and she had been stuck down there for days that she couldn't even remember; it had been just that long, and seeing people now, staring at her, and noticing her, scared the living heart out of her chest as she watched the blonde man start to approach her.

He took it one step at a time, making sure to give the mysterious girl her space, just in case she decided to run away, "It's alright. I'm not going to hurt you. Can you speak?" The man asked calmly with a big smile on his face. It wasn't scary like the other people she had run into down here. The murders, thieves and what not, but instead his smile was warm, and friendly.

"Y-Yes." She whispered feeling somewhat calmed by his smile widening to her answer, and he kneeled down in front of her, "Well then, may I ask if you're lost?" In asking this, the girl could only answer by lowering her head and sadly shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I don't remember."

"Do you have a name?" He asked even sweeter to make the girl blush a little as she thought of it, "Mm-Hmm. Ren…Ren Shinju."

"Oh, what a beautiful name. Mine is Kisuke Urahara. It's a pleasure to meet you Ren-Chan…" Putting out his hand he'd hope she'd shake it in return, and after a few minutes of being still simply confused, she slow put her limp hand in his to finally meet his welcome hand shake.

The girl watched their hands, and then looked up at the blonde Captain with her gentle matching lavender eyes, smiling at him, "You too…Kisuke…Urahara."

After the two were inseparable after that, and Ren along with Mayuri Kurosutchi were both under the supervision and care of the 12th Squad Captain.

"Oh, Ren…!" He sang from the door way with his hand close to his mouth as he called for the small girl he had been with since she was little, now after a few years, the girl had grown into a young woman along with that surprisingly long hair of hers she had yet to cut. Scratch that, she would never cut.

The moment she heard her potential father call to her, she dropped her pencil from the research book she was helping Mayuri with, and ran to Kisuke with glee in her sparkling eyes.

"Kisuke-Sama! You're back!" She jumped up off her aching feet and embraced the white Captain's uniform, getting Kisuke to laugh and pat Ren's shoulders as she held him tightly.

If anything he never knew why Ren was ever down in that horrible place she had come to be in. She had a tempter on her and could be rough around the edges sometimes, but she could never be evil. He just didn't see it in her. Nope, what that man saw in her was his most greatest achievement.

After that trial he had to endure, Kisuke wanted one thing only for Ren, and that was to be happy. Here, she could never be excepted on that account that he had found out that she was of Espada descent. But she carried no characteristics of wanting to harm anyone, and that again, not all Hollows wanted to hurt the living and the dead…

So whatever that made Ren he didn't want to know. She was Ren the hyper, trickster who was always placing a whoop-y cushion under his seat, and stifling giggles when Hiroi would beat him on the head, or kick him from behind.

And she even use to fall asleep on his lap when she was kid while he would work late nights. Kisuke remembered what the council said to him after what Aizen, Gin and Tosen had done themselves…

Shinji Hirako…

Hiroi…

Lisa…

Kensei…all of them were on the verge of turning into Hollows themselves if he didn't get them out of here…

Knowing Aizen he'll go after Ren next. He knows about her since he's been over here a couple of times to help me on the Hougeoku.

He could feel time wasn't on his side, and with a gentle push to get the small girl to look at him, Urahara smiled to keep her from knowing the many dangers that were occurring under her nose with Aizen and his betrayal, along his other friends that were already in the line of fire. Kisuke had to admit to himself that he was a tiny bit surprised at Ren for not asking about Hirori, but then again, he forgot that the girl was a care free spirit and probably thought everyone went home.

"Ren...What if I told you...That outside this place...You could live the rest of your life as yourself?"

She looked at him curiously and confused at what he meant, then cocked a brow at him, "I'd say, what're you talking about?"

He had to lick his lips to make her understand, "I want to get you out of here. Out of Soul Society."

"Why? What about Hirori and the others! You want to just leave all of our friends behind."

"Listen to me carefully Ren-chan, okay?" He was serious now, making Ren's face fall with his, worried, "I need you to pack your things-, whatever you can carry that's important, and come with me to the world of the living." He cupped her face, "Make it quick, kay?"

At this point, Ren could see something was wrong; no, she could feel it, "Kisuke, you're scaring me." He just shook his head, and chuckled softly to keep her calm, and flicked his nose against her forehead before ruffling her hair, making her smile a little bit, "It's nothing. Just go, quickly, we don't have much time."

"O-okay." She didn't question it. She wanted to, he could see it, but she ran into her room to do as she was told- because if Kisuke said it was time to go?

It was time to go!

She grabbed the nearest bag she could find, and began to pack with speed, her adreline pumping as she felt time slowly being wasted as she shifted through a few close belongings. Like the music that Shinji had given to her as a gift from the world the living when he came back from it almost a month ago, and a few other trinkets and knick knacks that she felt she needed to keep.

Although... Having her back turned to an open window, wasn't exactly the best idea, since someone had slyly leaped their way into the room and walked silently up behind Ren as she snuggled her most prized possession she couldn't afford to loose. Her teddy bear missing one eye.

It was the first gift she had ever received from Kisuke when he had first made her a secret room of her own. Not many knew about Ren-Chan but the ones that did, didn't say anything, didn't know what Ren was, or had to be bribed to keep their mouths shut about where Kisuke had originally found her.

Ren knew this man, Kisuke did a lot for her through out her life, and she was just grateful to have one outside of that damp dark cell. It was quite lonely there, but here she felt whole, and-, somewhat, free. Either way she was a lot happier…

Suddenly coming out of her bear hugging daze, the room in silence for a moment. A little too quiet for when Ren gave a small sigh, the floor boards creaked, and the girl's eyes widened to the sound.

There was no reason for the floor to make a noise, so as the light haired girl shifted her eyes to the side, she slowly turned around to see Sousuke Aizen, staring down at her somewhat admiring her and glaring at her all at once.

Jealousy? No...It was more than that. The man hungered for her... His eyes told her all she needed to know to start stepping back, but too scared of what would happen if she tried to call for Kisuke.

"Hello, Ren." His voice sent chills up her spine to gulp back and grit her teeth.

Apparently the brunette took a slight offense to this as he step towards her with that plastered smile, and cooed, "Ms. Ren-Chan? It's always polite to greet some one as they greet you. Hasn't Urahara taught you anything?" The girl glared, and backed further towards the door, but again came only in contact with something soft and warm. A chest…But the man she wasn't expecting.

She gasped and jumped back again, stuck in the middle with Aizen to her back, and Gin Ichimaru to her front…He was about the height of her ribcage, but for a kid, he was already fucking creepy to Ren. Ever since she saw him the first time walking in her direction, she knew something was off about him, now she knew why.

"Where's Kisuke-sama?" She didn't know why she asked that, she knew exactly where he was, but in a time like this, her natural instincts told her to distract them hopefully long enough for Kisuke to come look for her.

"I'm sure you know." Of course that plan went right out the window when Aizen had already figured out what she was trying to do, but Ren growled and stood her ground.

"Then what do you want?" Her voice still showed some kind of tremble, making Aizen chuckled softly, and brush the back of the girl's incredibly soft hair, coiling a few strands around his fingers as he spoke to her, "Oh…But I think you know the answer to that one as well my dear. You see…You're not normal…An arrancar such as yourself, have such amazing abilities…Why aren't you using them properly?"

He suddenly leaned and placed his forehead against the back of Ren's head, "Just let yourself go…Stop trying to be what you're not…A Shinigami…If anything…All of Soul Society thinks you're a monster. So prove to them that you're not, that's your something far more superior then they are." He tried hard to coax her, intimidate, and woo her all at once, but Ren was more afraid of this man.

She wouldn't budge.

"You're sick. Truly." This time Gin chuckled along with him, making her glare at them both before harshly pulling away from Aizen's touch. He had made himself way too comfortable with her and as she did, it only made the brunette cock a brow at her, "How disappointing. So I take it you're not going to take up my offer on helping me?"

"Help you? Do what? Kill? Manipulate? You can go screw yourself!" She spat trying to step back, but this time the boy behind her now, Gin, had put his hands around her upper arm, and squeezed tightly, "That's too bad."

Aizen reached into his inner coat pocket, and held a small round glowing crystal that burned a bright sapphire blue in between his fingers, "I guess we'll just have to a different measure then…Won't we Gin?"

"I believe so, Aizen-sama." Ren was shaking deathly afraid of what the two had plan, and as the cold man stood in front of her, he suddenly shoved the crystal into the girl's chest, causing her to scream out in pain.

The crystal burst into a blue flame as it descended. And before long it had disappeared into her body, causing her body to go into a spasm as she fell to the floor holding her heart.

It felt like her body was being ripped apart from the inside out, "Let's go Gin…Our job is finished for now."

"Sir thing." As Ren laid on the floor feeling her world turning and twisting Aizen stopped at the door and turned to the girl as she began to foam at the mouth, clenching her teeth as they grew sharper, and her eyes suddenly covered by her hollow mask. He smiled to her, and bowed as he suddenly disappeared from her sights, "Good night Ms. Ren-Chan." A cry of agony shrilled from her throat and her eyes began to change into a blood red.

Her legs began to morph together...Like a tail...And her screams soon morph into an ear piercing roar...

"Oi."

Ichigo and Renji both looked to the door to find Ren and Grimmjow finally coming down the stairs the girl smiling brightly as she waved to them, and Grimmjow, well, he was being Grimmjow.

"Ah...Ren-Chan's up! Happy Birthday!" Kisuke exclaimed happily with his fan waving in his face to keep him cool on the mild summer day, "And Grimmy-Grim I see that you're as lively as ever too!"

Grimmjow just growled showing a fang, "I told you not to call me that!"

Ichigo, still remembering the story that Renji was telling him, made the orange headed boy to give a grim frown to his friend before looking back up at Ren who was smiling happily, brightly as ever as she discussed the birthday plan with Kisuke.

She doesn't know what happened after that, does she? Damn it, she has a right to know...Should I…-, No, I'll only make things worse if I tell her without Kisuke's say so...Maybe...I can get Kisuke to tell her instead? It'd be better if she heard from him if anything, after all, he is the one that raised her.

"Alright so what are we doing just standing around here! Let's get this party started!" Ren threw her hands up in the air excitedly and grabbed onto Grimmjow's hand to pull him out the door, unaware that she was almost making him stumble over his own feet, "Wait, where're you going?"

Hearing Grimmjow say that made Ren stop in her tracks and look back at him and the others with a blank expression before rubbing her head and laughing nervously, "Huh...I haven't a clue...I guess I got so excited I wanted to go outside!" Ren smiled only to make everyone else to shake their hands and laugh at her air headed ways, "Oh jeez woman..."

"I love you." Ren looked up at Grimmjow innocently who seemed to nearly thrown back by the words, but then attempted to hide the blush forming across his nose.

Only after did Ren bash her eyes lashes at her Espada to get him to growl and wrapped an arm around her neck to turn them back to face the gang, "Well, what do we do first?" Grimmjow now wanted to change the subject, making Ren look up thoughtfully, "How about...We go to the Carnival! Might as well start with that."

Then, suddenly her eyes widened to the size of saucers, "Oh wait a minute! Hold up! You give me shit for going out the door, but now that I'm over here I have to-," "Oh just leave it alone Ren, he's purposely trying to irritate you. It's actually starting to work on me." Grimmjow hooked you around again leading you out the door as you wrapped your arm around his thin waist, tickling his sides, "Ha, dooon't..." He whined, "Aw...Grimmy-Grim doesn't like to be tickled!" You sang seeing his face start to somewhat flush, "I'm seriously going to murder you..." He muttered in embarrassment, "Only if you do it with love."

With that he turned your face to his and licked the side of her face with his tongue, making sure she couldn't escape from his slobbery attack, "EWWWW! Grimmjow!"

"How's that for love?" He was grinning with victory as he watch the girl wiped her face with force, "Why you..."

Before long the two were wrestling down the street trying to get each other back for poking, pinch, or smacking or whatever the other did.

And everyone watched with sweat drops until Grimmjow just pulled Ren close enough to wrap an arm around the girl's neck. She was laughing, and Grimmjow? Well, he was definitely smirking…Or smiling…

It was 50/50.

Either way everyone else started to laugh at the two's shenanigans as well, before long the group was talking amongst themselves...

Little did anyone realize that someone was watching them all carefully behind an alley way they had all passed.

Although Ren caught a glimpse of whatever it was but when she looked to where it was...it was gone, Maybe I'm seeing things...

"What's wrong pet?"

"Huh? Nothing...Let's go." Grimmjow looked down at the girl questionably, but shrugged it off to put head soft hand on her head.

"So! What should we do first! Games? Rides? Food?" Jinta began to name down the fun that was to be had, but then thinking about it...It would be better if everyone went on the rides first before actually eating. So in the end the rides came first.

"Alright...Where to start, where to start..." Ren trailed off looking down at the map with Kisuke and everyone else behind her. Her finger scanned the parks directions, but as she felt everyone's eyes on her she felt her nerves begin to quake.

She waited a minute or two before she finally looked back at the group with a flat feature, "Do you mind?"

"Oh no, go ahead." Kisuke chirped, "No rush."

"I can't look at the directions when you're hovering over my shoulder. I've told you about that." Everyone slowly backed away feeling her reitsu flare just enough for them to take a step back.

Now, it was just her and Grimm looking at the map to Carnival rides, "Oh! Let's go to the fun house!" The girl jumped up and down excitedly.

"Are you serious?" He looked over to one of the houses that were packed to the end with people, "Uh...No thanks. I'll stay over here by the tree."

Ren knew exactly what he was trying to avoid and she gave him a 'give-me-a-break,' look before gripping his wrist to pull him towards her mouth, "Oh don't worry you big baby, the big bad humans won't going to hurt you." She teased before he scoffed and laughed, "No, I was referring to me hurting them."

"I'm very aware." She laughed gently before leaning into his ear again, "But I could endure you driving your cock into me, than you can endure sitting in a small line for 10 minutes. At most." Grimmjow's face looked to Ren surprised by her statement, seeing the small mischievous smile on her lips to have him return it full force.

His once surprised expression now a devilish grin that consumed his entire face if it could, and as he licked his lips to restrain the urge that was starting to burn within him.

He then took the small arrancar's hand and brought her close to him by her hips, and walked them to the line just in time before it could get any bigger, "That's completely different." He finally murmured in her ear, biting the lobe.

Like pudding she melted into it with a smile and a gentle bite of her lip, "Mm...Not really...In regards to the subject yeah, but in regards to what I meant...It's the about the same..."

This was all becoming too much.

The way this girl was licking her lips and biting her bottom while she tried to look away slyly. Cross her arms under her plump breast was driving the Panther nuts.

He had to switch his gaze to something else anything but her slick curves and bouncing body.

Unfortunately, a said girl already knew what was running through his mind, and as she gave him a soft smile, Ren kissed his neck, causing Grimmjow to bring his cheek down to her ear, leaving his lips close to her own neck wanting to attack her body at a moments notice, but surprisingly resisted the urge as he growled deep down in his throat, "Mm...Not here...People can see."

Ren only smiled and breathed, "And when was the last time you cared?" As she nibbled at his ear, causing him to purr back softly in her own, "The last time I was afraid I'd pound you right here." He rebutted, "You're just such a dick tease…"

"Hee, hee, aren't I?" With that the girl kissed her Espada's cheek and began to jump up and down when she realized they were so much closer to the entrance, "Yay! Finally!"

"4 Tickets please." They handed the man their tickets, and entered through the bars.

Grimmjow didn't find it very amusing but he did find it hilarious when Ren lead him through the see through walls, which she kept running into.

Guess what part was so funny about it?

Ren reminded him so much of an animal trying so hard to frantically escape.

When the nightmare was finally over, Ren began to laugh about it too and when she saw Grimmjow begin to slip on the spinning tunnel that they had come to, she laughed even harder.

Although the laughter was quickly cut off when he jumped out like a cat on all fours and stood back up to dust himself off so casually, "Hee hee, do that again!"

"Uh, that'll be a Hell. No. You call that fun?"

"Well, have you ever been on a roller coaster before?" He shook his head, "Neh, it doesn't look all that great...But if you want to later...I can show you some real fun...But we'll have to wait until it gets dark."

"Can't wait." She teased now pulling Grimmjow to the roller coaster she was so pumped to ride.

He smirked thinking the thing didn't so bad. Well, until he looked to the long line leading up to it, "Oh goddamn it."

The wait was quiet, the two stood shoulder to shoulder, scanning the area as most of the people were wanting to get on the ride.

Although suddenly, while the two were enjoying each other's company, Ren felt a sense of another arrancar other than them in the proximity of the Carnival.

It was almost as strong as Grimmjow's, but not as harsh, and rough around the edges.

Suddenly it disappeared again, and Ren began to look around the crowd with a shift of her head moving back and forth between the crowd, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..." She didn't answer for a good minute, which made the Panther cock a brow as his mate, "You've been saying that all day."

Ren smiled up at him seeing that he was not convinced by her answer, so she kissed his cheek softly to give him a little more reassurance, "It's alright I promise. I'm just excited that I'm seeing things is all."

"Oh? That doesn't sound like the Ren-Chan I know..." He mocked purposely trying to sound like Kisuke to cheer the girl up, but when it only did little to no reaction, Grimmjow put both arms around her shoulders rubbed his lips against her forehead, he didn't even kiss her, he just caressed their skin, "It's okay...We're here aren't we? So let's have some fun. You'll ruin your own mood if you worry too much, right?"

Ren was silent before suddenly bursting into a jumping fit, "Yes! I want to ride! I want to ride! I want to ride! I want to-," Suddenly she felt a jerk at her hips, locking her to the Espada , and the feel of her face being smothered into his solid chest.

When she looked up to see what had happened, Ren could only see a distasteful look on Grimmjow, "Grimm?" He didn't answer, instead he kept his sour gaze steady on whatever it was he was looking at in the crowd, which made the small arrancar follow his stare over to a boy who had his own eyes on her, talking to his friends apparently, as if gossiping.

Or most likely checking her out.

Oh boy… Her eyes went back and forth between the two before Ren looked up at the obvious territorial Panther, and noticed his canines showing as he gritted his teeth with a growl. "Oh Grimmjow..."

She couldn't help it. It was cute that he was so protective or jealous, or which ever of the two, and it made her smile so much she cupped his face with a hand and ran her fingers through his hair with the other, gripping it quickly, to make the Panther growl and look down at her.

She wasn't sure whether it pissed him off more or not, but when the girl pressed his lips against his with a forceful yet tenderness, it only made the Panther's blood boil with lust now as he let his anger dissolve, and let the full power of Ren's rough passionate kiss take control of him.

When they pulled away his eyes were slightly glazed over with that familiar hunger he had been taming before.

And Grimmjow grinned and pulled his lover back into a similar lip lock, not caring it anyone saw them.

Hell they could go screw themselves for all Grimmjow cared, all he cared about was getting Ren back into bed.

As the kiss became more sensual as they prepared pulled away, a sudden voice abruptly interrupted the two, which Grimmjow himself didn't like at all, "Hey sweetheart? Want a kiss from a real man!"

At first the Sexta hoped it was someone else the guy from across the way was talking to, but when Grimmjow looked out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed the guy snickering in their direction, obviously talking to Ren over the sound of the people and sounds of the booths.

The man even signaled her to come over, but Ren only looked from Grimmjow to the guy again to see what the panther was going to do.

But the moment Grimmjow heard the guy finally make a pass, the panther let out a growl loud enough for the whole line to hear and watched as he leaped over the chains, and made his over to kick some ass.

He was fuming. No one made a pass at his woman and got a way with it, not without a bruise or two at least.

This guy was only lucky Grimmjow didn't kill when he broke his nose with his fist, "W-Wait Grimm-San!" But it was too late, by the time Grimmjow had knocked the guy out in one shot.

And Ren could only could smack her face into her hand as she made her way out of the line and to her out of control boyfriend.

She figured it was a good time to go somewhere else, eat least for the moment to let the Panther cool off.

As they left, all they could hear was the crowd that saw the whole thing watch in awe and fear as the two push themselves out of the little circle that was starting to form, "Holy crap! Did you see that! That dude just took him out!"

Everyone was beginning to talk, but Grimmjow only cracked his neck and shook his shoulders of built up frustration before stopping in his tracks to get Ren to stop pulling him.

She didn't expect it, and in being pulled back by him, Grimmjow now pulled Ren into his arms, and had them walk together casually as if nothing happened, "I was trying to warn you…" She mumbled harmoniously to him only receiving a smirk in her direction.

"He shouldn't have tried making a move on my woman…" What could she say, it was Grimmjow.

Being only able to giggle at his response, Ren just rested her head against his shoulder, and looked up at him curiously, "How about some cotton candy."

"What is that?" He cocked a brow at her, "Is it sweet?" He asked.

"Yeah?"

"Eh…."

"Oh come on at least try it. Please."

"Mm…."

"I'll take that as a yes."

While the two waited for their sweet cotton, Ren apparently saw Renji and Ichigo sitting on near by benches between the bumper cars and the Star Spin 2000.

As the boys talked, it seemed like their very intense about whatever it was they were talking about, and it seemed to be something that interested Ren. Of course she couldn't hear what it was but since Ichigo was a lot of hand motions, it seemed to do with something exploding, and something that made Renji's eyes widen.

She felt weird wanting to call out to them, but as Ichigo now noticed her, he smiled softly and waved as his expression changed to nervous almost.

She could only wonder why, but it was probably because of the Espada she was with, but none the less she waved her hand in a big motion and called to them with a happy welcoming smile, "Hey Ichi! Renji! Come over here, with us!" She excitedly waved them over.

At first the two hesitated since Grimmjow seemed a little irritated that Ren was them over in the first place, but in the end Ichigo came over with a that same nervous smile, just as bright as it was a few seconds ago.

"H-Hey Ren, enjoying the Carnie?"

"Mm-hmm! Now, it's time for a treat!"

"I didn't know you liked sweet things Grimmjow. You just don't look like you'd try something like that." Ichigo laughed, but the carrot top had no idea how close he was to that, and it only made the Panther groan and roll his eyes, "Yeah, well…"

Ren giggled and fingered Ichigo to lean in, "I'm making him try it."

"Ah I see. That's why he's upset."

"You two talkin' about me!"

"Not at all!" As much as the conversation wasn't at all normal, and everyone was putting in a little effort to get along.

Even Grimmjow, well, for the most part he was trying.

In a way it was peaceful.

Renji and Grimmjow weren't fighting either, but weren't really acknowledging one another that much either, but what Ren got was what she was happy with, and as she talked on between the three boys the girl felt a sudden sharp throbbing jolt in her throat.

She hunched over from the pain, but what was weird about it, was she felt as if her throat was getting swollen by the pain, "Owe..." She attempted to swallow, but it only hurt more.

"Ren?" Renji questioned, having his and the other faces around her fall worried, "You okay?" They all looked over Ren with questionable looks; well except for Renji who seemed a little more bewildered than anything for some reason, "I feel...Like I'm choking…" It was beginning to become harder to breath and little by little, her lungs were rasp, and her body was soon craving air, "Grimm-,...Find-,...Find Kisuke." Ren could only remember herself grabbing out for her lover's arm before she blacked out in the hot sun, hearing Ichigo call her name as he caught the girl's limp body in his hands "Ren!"

"Ren!"

Shit...It's starting...Damn...I thought Kisuke said we had more time than this! Renji could only keep his thoughts to himself as he watched Ren's body be transferred between Ichigo and Grimmjow.

The Arrancar held her tight to his body and carried Ren could of the crowded place to find Kisuke and the others before it was too late, at least in Ichigo and Renji mind.

To Grimmjow, all he wanted was to find what happened to her in general! He had no clue there was big secret being hidden from not only him but Ren herself.

"Do you sense him anywhere?" Renji asked as the two looked in different direction hoping that one of them would be able to detect the old man.

"What do I look like a GPS!"

"I was just asking idiot!"

"What!"

"Not now! Find Kisuke now!" Ichigo made sure those two kept a heavy mind at this particular moment, and as the red head and blue Sexta got back to concentrating on what was important, it seemed that Grimmjow was the first to sense Kisuke Urahara, sitting and having a meal in the food court.

Unfortunately before the Sexta could take a step forward, he felt that a force that almost made him loose his balance.

And it started to move closer to them...

Now, it wasn't just him feeling it, but Renji, Ichigo, and even Kisuke could feel as he looked up with the others…

This…feeling…It's so-,….No…It's not possible…It's too earlier for something like this to happen!….Aizen…?
