" well, wouldn't you give me one last goodbye,considering that you are leaving this country?" Riruka smiled, and Renji knows that he is doomed. And he is going to die. There is no hope to get past Riruka, and knowing her,she must've informed her father of his escape.

Who gave him away? Did Shuuhie call the boss? Not a chance. Shuuhei was resting since their little fight. And Renji did confiscicate Shuuhei's means of contact , as a precaution. Could it be possible that he arranged everything beforehanded?

" hand her over Renji, then we could go wherever you wanted to" Riruka inched closer to Renji, whispering seductively into his ear. They were now out of car and Renji tried to move away from her, but Riruka would have none of it! he could find the muzzle of the gun press into his spine more intently. belatedly remembering his gun was in the backseat, and cursing for his badluck, He tried kicking her, but the vixen was clever. She anticipated his move and blocked it with one of her own, making him to trip on his feet. he knew she was on of higher ranks among Arrancars, a well trained one and he couldn't move past her without a good fight, fierce as she is.

" Tell me, in what way is she better than me Renji?" Riruka gave one glance into the girl sleeping in the backseat of the car." Is it that she was a fresh meat? Unlike me?"

" Riruka," Renji tried to explain. Enraging Riruka more is the last thing he wanted to do, with gun in her hand.

" what would I get if I kill you now? I shall loose my boytoy. Better kill this bitch, what say, Renji? Riruka was now aiming the gun at the sleeping girl.

" WHAT . DO . YOU . WANT ?" he asked , teeth gritted, controlling his anxiety and anger. better give her what she want. Rukia was at the end of the gun and he wouldn't risk making a move.

" Well, for starters, let us start with your betrayal, shall we? My brother always warned me that you were a little cheater, but I chose otherwise. And I suggested father that you would join the Arrancar. The offer still stands if you hand her over to me. And we could forget everything that happened here. They only need her to blackmail her brother. And if you refuse, we might just drag you back, along with her, and you know how the rest happens"

" we ? Renji questioned. But he couldn't see anyone other than Riruka.

" ofcourse. You think it's only me? Nah. You very well know I better be safe than sorry" and just as she completed her sentence, Renji could find another presence in the dark, one he failed to notice.

" long time no see, Zabimaru" Renji could find chill crawling up his spine. He could recognise it, immediately.

"Nnoitra?"

" Captain, I think this is right time to intercede. Or they might hurt the girl"

" take it light , Shuuhei, we need to find their base. But if they intend to harm her, I shall show myself to protect her."

" there are two Arrancars , one of them espada , Captain. Shall I request backup?" Shuuhei found himself replying to wind, as he found his Captain disappearing into the dark.

" Dammit, if anything happens to him, that old man will chew me out" cursing, Shuuhei left after his Captain.

" well, look what you have been reduced to, Riruka," Nnoitra jeered , " nothing more than his little whore"

" well, I didn't bring you here to insult me, Nnoitra. You better make good on your promise" Riruka know it was a bad choice in bringing him with her, but if it is anyone that could get on Renji's nerves, it is Nnoitra.

" well, then, remember your side of bargain," Nnoitra smirked and looked into the back seat, at the girl who was sleeping. " or maybe not. I could enjoy with this little thing here" he licked his lips, as he leered at the sleeping girl in dark, extending a hand towards the girl, hoping to cope a feel, looking back at Renji, who was enraged to the point that he forgot that Riruka carried a gun.

Gun shots could be heard in the dead of night, with bones crunching and a loud groan following it.

Rukia woke up to her eyes being blinded by the sun. why was it so bright? What time is it? Did she sleep in? moreover, why is her body aching as if she had been through a long drive?

" So you decided to wake up? " Ichigo greeted the raven haired girl, who seemed to be too disoriented from sleep.

" what time is it?" Rukia asked groggily. She decided to be civil to him, since he carried her back yesterday.

" 11 A.M " Ichigo replied, moving towards her bedside, and bringing her a glass of water from coffee could see her gape at him. Cute, she looked like a little fish! " Don't worry, I called the school and informed that you wouldn't be coming. I told them you were sick"

" thanks" Rukia offered, as she accepted glass of water from him. " but you could've woke me up early!"

Ichigo scoffed, " Believe me, I tried." this girl could sleep through earthquake!

Rukia rolled her eyes. " Don't be over reactive. How are Shuuhei and Renji?" she couldn't help but worry. She had known of Renji's temper since childhood. But Renji never fought with Shuuhei.

Ichigo looked puzzled " Didn't Renji tell you?"

" Tell me what?" what exactly is going on? Wait! How could she forget it? Renji mentioning his love for her, asking her to come with him, her refusing to go with hugging her and then…

What happened?

She couldn't remember anything after it.

Seeing Rukia's confused face, Ichigo decided to reply " He was called back to Tokyo, by Byakuya and was supposed to be there by early morning, so he went back last night itself."

Wait! What the hell? What he was telling completely different from what Renji told her.

Seeing that the girl was still confused, Ichigo continued, " well, Hisagi told me that Renji did send a message to your LINE to explain everything. Just check it."

Rukia rushed out of her bed to search for her iphone , but couldn't remember where she had put it last night!

" OY! Slow down! You may crack your head if you rush and trip over something!" she looked like a busy little bird searching for food! He couldn't help but laugh at her antics.

"shut your trap! Help me, or leave the room."

" what is so important? He just went back to your brother! It was not like he wouldn't comeback." He was mildly irritated at her. not minding the orange haired bodyguard, Rukia searched for her phone through every corner of the room, and finally finding it under her messed up bedsheets. wasting no time, she opened up her line, and there it was! Message from Renji.

Ichigo observed the girl as she read the text. He could tell she was gravely upset. She must've been very close to the other bodyguard. judging by yesterday's incident of how Abarai rushed to knock him down just because he caught Rukia in an inappropriate position, Ichigo would bet that the man was attracted to her and it was mutual.

"what did he say?" well, he couldn't contain his curiosity. She maynot tell him the content of message. Correction, will never tell him!

" None of your business. If you would please remove yourself from my room, I would like to have my personal space uninvaded", saying so, she pushed Ichigo out of her room, pretty much closing the door on his face.

" Great! YOU UNGREATFUL MIDGET!" he shouted well, so much that the entire mansion could hear him.

Ichigo turned around to find Shuuhei staring pensively at him.

" so, mind telling me what this is all about? I never thought she would react this way to his absence!"

Shuuhei sighed deeply. " I dunno. Renji and Rukia are childhood friends. They go way back before Rukia was adopted into Kuchiki family. And as far as I know, Renji likes her very much. And to some extent, Rukia reciprocates his feelings. Maybe that is why she is upset" he ended, looking at the closed door.

" does Byakuya know of this matter?"

" No. Byakuya never knew. Renji always acted cautiously around him. He never dared to touch Rukia infront of Byakuya, nor did he speak with her informally in Kuchiki-sama's presence. when it comes to Rukia, Byakuya has a tendency to react,overtly. when Rukia was a child and was foodpoisoned, he fired all the cooks and the head chef in the mansion without thinking twice." Shuuhei finished, remembering the old days, when he accompanied Renji occasionally to visit Rukia, before they took up jobs as bodyguards under Kuchiki Byakuya.

" leave her be, she will come around" shuuhei replied, by patting Ichigo on shoulder before retreating into his own room.

Nnoitra was locked up in an interrogating room. In Gotei headquarters. much to his chagrin, that bitch Riruka chose to save her boytoy , rather than him. Now he was here, In Gotei's clutches. Dammit! He looked at the reitsu cuffs that bound him. The more he raise his reitsu, the more power they absorb and make him weak. He was not new to this, he can break out of them if he changed into his Ressurection. but he wanted to kill the bastard who bought him here! He was the 5th espada and Nnoitra was still confused who could easily bind him with a kido spell to begin with! Someone of high calibre, even a captain of Gotei, can't fight with an espada ranked ten and win in a one to one match. But the bastard easily bound him with a fucking kido spell! He found his gun taken away from him, which added to the current bad mood he was in.

Whoever it was, he was going to die!

GOTEI HEADQUARTERS , TOKYO

" Gentlemen, today , we are here to discuss about the situation on the hand , our newest capture,Espada number 5, Nnoitra Gilga" the captain commander, Shunsui Kyoraku looked at the Gotei captains, who were busy murmuring to themselves, after n]his anouncement. Off Couse, this is such a shocking event, considering that Espada are the elite arrancars, the nemesis of Gotei. a few moments of unrest between captains, Shunsui decided to intervene.

" I know that this is a huge achievement for us. I shall handover this case to squad 12, unless there are any volunteers to handle the job"

" thankyou Captain commander Kyoraku", squad 12 captain, Kisuke Urahara stepped forward, ready to take on the case.

" fine then Kisuke, I shall leave it to you then," Kyoraku was about to dismiss the meeting, when another captain , Of squad 5 , Sosuke Aizen stepped forward .

" Forgive me captain, for I think the 12th division has too much on it's plate to handle right now. How about transferring the case to squad 5 instead? We can take good care of the Espada" Aizen smiled gently at Urahara and turned towards captain commander for approaval.

" Well, captain Aizen, I am sorry to say this, but considering that the last arrancar who was captured and put under your squad's care died within two days. So I think it would be wise to leave this matter to Squad 12," captain Unohana, of squad 4 replied, making Aizen loose his cool for a second. Deciding that it wasn't a wise thing to argue with her, Aizen stepped back, humiliated .

One day, Aizen thought,

one day, … you will surely regret this…

" RUKIA INUZURI! " Rukia was jolted out of her sleep by her math teacher, who was glaring daggers at her. carp! she must have slept in class, again!

Groaning internally, Rukia rose from her seat and moved towards the board. The teacher handed her marker, motioning her to write answer to the solution that was written on the board.

" do you plan to take all the day, Ms. Inuzuri? " the Teacher's voice brought her out her reverie,crap, why ? she couldn't remember anything! How is this possible? She was always good at math!

" I see, it seemed that you weren't paying attention to what was happening in the class, in that case, Ms, Inuzuri, I think that you would enjoy today's detention as much as you enjoyed napping in my class!", cursing her bad luck, Rukia walked back to her seat. Life really sucked right now for her! A detention! She never had one in her life!

XXX

Final bell rang, with students rushing out of classroom. Rukia sat at her desk. She didn't even know how to clean! and the teacher ordered her strictly that if she were to skip this detention, her grades would be afeected. sighing to herself, Rukia stood up and moved towards the janitor closet, in hope of finding the supplies necessary for the cleaning.

xxx

what a fantastic day!( sarcastically) The janitor was on leave as well, making it difficult for Rukia to choose cleaning supplies by herself. which one is she supposed to use? There are many bottles of cleaning supplies! Which one to use for windows?whatever, if anything goes wrong, it was her math teacher's fault! Convincing herself, Rukia took a pink bottle of cleaning supply and a rag cloth, with a mug for water and headed towards her classroom.

Did she bring in the wrong supply? Why was it leaving a soapy substance behind everytime she tried to clean window? she tried to clean more vigorously, rubbing the glass panels, hoping the soapiness would go away!

"well, aren't you enjoying detention too much! Such a dedication, Midget princess" what the hell was he doing here? Didn't he say no to her, when she request him to help her? And he dared to call her Midget again?

In a fit of anger, Rukia , for a moment, forgot that she climbed a desk to reach the upper part of glass panel and raised her leg to kick the asshole in the face, but it was official that luck was not on her side.

He ended up catching her again, but this time, Rukia's skirt rode up pretty high, and Ichigo could feel her smooth skin, where his hands had supported her from fallin, almost carrying her in a bridal style! he looked at the girl, who seemed to be very , very red, be it from anger or embarrassment.

Fuck!, her thighs were so smooth to touch!

Clearing his throat at the unwanted thought, Ichigo put Rukia down, and the girl in the question moved away from him, her cheeks red.

Smirking, he moved towards the girl, who was backing away, for his each step forward, she moved a step backward, finally her back meeting with the wall. before she had the time to react and escape, he caged her in , with his arms on either side.

Lowering himself to her level, he whispered into her ear,

" Chappy panities ehh? Kuchiki?"

...

" PERVERTTTTT!"

Author note:

Hehe. I know I kind of ruined what could be a potential romantic moment, but it was too soon to get into any kind of romance. Thoe two adorable dorks! I wanted to have cute moments, embarrassing ones and romantic ones, all in line!

And yeah, this story is a modernised version of bleach. Like how Kubo thought of designing guns instead of zanpakutos, I just thought of maybe I could start anew thing using that line of thought. and LINE is preferred by tha japanese rather than whatsapp, courtesy of google!

About Renji and Riruka, you would get it in the next chapter. And It may not be long that I maybe changing the rating from T to M .

You would get more info about the Gotei and the Espada and all the fun in the next chapter!

Hope you guys like it!

And please review. They are my boosters for writing another chapter!

Love,

Amethyst Hazel.
