So so sorry for being late with this chapter, real life has been very hectic so I was unable to post this in time. Also a few of you asked me to post that list of who has been turned to what . I have put the list on my profile.
Disclaimer : I do not own Bleach.
So let us find out happened to Renji during all of this time while in soul society all the previous events were happening.
Renji as we all know was in a bit of a pickle. He had been kidnapped by a crazy human teenage girl who insisted on calling him and labored under the delusion that he was a female dog. Not only had the girl confused his gender but she also believed that she was his owner. Renji bristled at that. He wasn't anyone's dog.
Unfortunately for him Isumi didn't agree with him.
The pet carrier was carried to Isumi's room by her bodyguard to her room. It was set carefully on the carpeted floor. The metal gate was opened and Renji shot out of it at top speed before taking a sharp U-turn and making towards the oak door. But the bodyguard a hefty man in a black suit rushed out faster than him from the room closing the door on Renji's face.
Renji tried to stop himself but the momentum caused him to rush straight against the door face first. He hit the door with his nose and bounced back with a pained yelp. He crouched down on the floor his injured nose between his paws and whining. His ears lay flat against his head.
Pulling himself off the floor he sniffed and pawed at his sore nose. Renji then looked up and around the room promptly wishing he hadn't. The room was pink. Completely, absolutely pink. The walls were pink, the floor covered in pink marble and a pink plush carpet. The bed was pink, the bed sheets were pink the cupboards were pink. Everything was pink. Even the ceiling was a pale pink.
Renji nearly hurled his stomach out. The most disturbing thing was not the pink color itself but the sheer amounts of it. Also it being neon pink did not help. How could a human being live in such a place wondered Renji, his head spinning.
Suddenly his ears picked up two pairs of footsteps from the hallway coming closer and closer. Renji scampered and hid himself under the bed not wanting another meeting with the blond, crazed girl.
The door swung open and the owners of the footsteps entered the room. Renji could hear them talking.
"And then I wacked him with the STOP sign and rescued ." said an excited girlish voice belonging to the blond human from whom Renji was currently hiding.
"Why Mrs. Fluffelkins?" asked a bored obviously male voice.
"Silly Itsuki! It's cause the dog's a female and obviously married." Replied the chipper feminine voice.
'No I am NOT!' mentally screamed Renji as he tried to make himself smaller under the huge four-poster bed. The last thing the redhead wanted was to be seen by the blonde.
Isumi entered the room followed by a boy of about sixteen. He was a few inches taller then her, had black hair and eyes. His skin was almost an ashen grey like he was sick and he was dressed in a grey hoodie and black jeans with his hair falling all over his face. He had a couple of piercings, which along with his black painted nails and morose demeanor gave him a typical punk emo look.
"Hey where's ?" asked Isumi turning towards her older brother.
"I think she's hiding under the bed." Stated Itsuki.
Isumi went down on her knees peering under the bed with her brother following suit. "Hey there she is!" exclaimed the blonde girl on spotting 'her' dog.
Renji continued to hide under the bed while Isumi tried to coax him out by calling his 'name'. It was then that the older sibing suggested that she try and lure him out with food. Renji snorted at the enthusiastic agreement by the blond who promptly ran out to find some.
"Hey…you can come out now." informed Itsuki.
Renji stared at the other male suspiciously. 'As if! I am not gonna get thrown into a cage again.' thought the red head.
"I know that you aren't a dog." Said Itsuki quietly catching Renji's attention.
He continued in the same quiet, serious tone "I can feel it. That you aren't what you seem to be. So you can come out…I won't hurt you."
Itsuki then stood back up on his feet and waited. A few moments later Renji came out from under the bed and sat on his haunches and looked up at the boy.
"How did you know?" he asked.
"I just did." came the reply. "Who are you anyway?" Itsuki asked.
"I am Abarai Renji, a shinigami." Answered Renji.
'Shinigami? A death god?' wondered the younger male before asking "So what are you doing here?"
"It's not like I wanted to come here." Said Renji annoyed. "I was forced to come here by that friend of yours."
"She's actually my sister."
"Really? There's absolutely no resemblance." exclaimed Renji surprised at the fact that they were siblings.
"Hmm… Anyway your voice is very manly for a woman." commented Itsuki.
Renji angered at being mistaken for a female again shouted, "I AM A GUY!"
Itsuki's eyes widened in surprise and he said "Oh. I see."
"Anyway tell me how to escape from here." asked Renji not wanting to stay there any longer.
At Renji's sudden question Itsuki knelt down so that he was eye level with the talking dog and smiled briefly before saying "I can help you if you want." Renji's eyes widened at the word and his face filled with glee at the idea of being able to escape.
"But I hope you can forgive my sister. She may seem bratty and spoilt but she has a good heart. She is just very lonely and she can't express herself very well and so she tends to be forceful in her affections. Anyway I will talk to her." said Itsuki while Renji listened on one of his floppy ears cocked.
Itsuki smiled once more stretching out his hand and scratching lightly behind Renji's ear before getting up and stepping out of the room just in time to see Isumi returning from the kitchen with a packet of biscuits.
Renji walked to the door and eavesdropped on the sibling's conversation.
Isumi had rushed back as fast as she could with the pack of biscuits to use as bait when Itsuki stopped her from running into the room.
She looked up at her brother, puzzled and asked "Heh.. What's the matter Itsuki?"
Itsuki smiled before replying "Nothing at all really but there is something that I have to ask you?"
"Well go on then." said Isumi.
"Isumi why did you bring um… Mrs. Fluffelkins here?" asked Itsuki.
"Well its obvious isn't it? So that she can be my friend." she replied in a isn't-it-obvious tone.
"Isumi if you wanted a pet all you had to do was ask. There was no need to pick a dog off the streets." argued Itsuki.
"Other dogs can't talk. I swear she talked to me." cried out Isumi.
"You can talk to the people here you know." argued back Itsuki hoping to put some sense in her.
"No I can't! Here everyone is like Miss Isumi or young mistress. The only friend I have is you but you are always away! I am keeping Mrs. Fluffelkins." she cried out tears coming to her eyes.
"I see but won't Mr. Fluffelkins be lonely as well?"
"Huh?"
"Think about it Isumi. If Mrs. Fluffelkins is here who would look after Mr. Fluffelkins and Fluffelkins Jr. Won't they be lonely and sad." said Itsuki seriously and quietly.
Isumi became quiet thinking over her brother's argument. A few moments later she looked back up and said "Okay she may go."
Itsuki smiled and ruffled her hair before going back inside the bedroom to give Renji the good news.
Itsuki reentered the bedroom and knelt in front of Renji and said "You can go now."
"Really?" asked Renji.
"Yep. Just have something to eat and then go."
Renji nodded and followed Itsuki out of the room, past hallways to the huge dining room. He was led to one of the chairs and made to sit there. In a few moments a plate of delicious steak arrived and was placed in front of him. Renji who had been feeling hungry for a while dove into the food with enthusiasm and started to eat.
When he was finished the plate wa stake away and he was offered a dish of water to quench his thirst. After drinking the water he was approached by both Itsuki and Isumi.
"Come on Mrs. Fluffelkins I will take you home." said Itsuki, smirking at the resultant glare from Renji.
At the gateway of the mansion Renji let himself be hugged by Isumi and was surprised when instead of the expected bone-crushing embrace he was held gently and a kiss was dropped on his nose before he was allowed to leave.
Itsuki who stood by whistled at Renji to come follow him. The red head left isumi's embrace and followed Itsuki all the while thinking of the blond girl.
"But I hope you can forgive my sister. She may seem bratty and spoilt but she has a good heart. She is just very lonely and she can't express herself very well and so she tends to be forceful in her affections. Anyway I will talk to her." said Itsuki
"No I can't! Here everyone is like Miss Isumi or young mistress. The only friend I have is you but you are always away! I am keeping Miss Fluffelkins." she cried out tears coming to her eyes.
When Itsuki suddenly stopped ,Renji stopped too torn out of his thoughts. "Hey I think you can go now." Itsuki told his silent companion before turning back towards the mansion.
He hadn't taken more than a few steps when a red blur swooped past him.
Isumi sniffed standing at the front gates. She was already missing her dog. It had been hard watching Mrs. Fluffelkins leave but it was something that had to be turned. She stood for a few moments longer before turning back towards her home.
Suddenly she heard loud barks and before she knew it she was being tackled to the ground, face covered by enthusiastic licks.
"Mrs. Fluffelkins you came back!" she exclaimed happily.
Renji stopped licking her and looked up and barked. All the while he had been thinking about how sad she had looked. Something inside him had tugged at his heart to comfort her.
'I just hope I don't regret this.' he thought before giving into Isumi's ear scratches.
