I do not own Bleach.
Me: Finally a moment of peace to type this chapter in. (It was broken into two parts...and I have to fix somethings with the second part)
Random Fan: It took you this long. I think you just wanted to torture us.
Me: I did not! Sheesh. I did just get married you know.
Random Fan: Oh congrats. Now give me my Bleach Yaoi.
Me: Its here, alright. Read it. *mumbles*
Random Fan: Yay! On a side note, I liked Renji's and Toshiro's conversation at the end of it. Told you that would be amusing.
Me: Lol. I felt so bad for making fun of them though. I love UkiBya! XD
Random Fan: *rolls eyes* Remember this is a ByaRen fic and I know it ends as one as well. Go and write a UkiBya fic or alternate chapters to this when you are done. Now I am going to read the damn chapter.
Me: That sounds like a good idea. So...please refer to the end of the chapter for more details.
Time: 9AM
Place: 12th Division Lab
Kisuke was hard at work on a knew type of healing experiment for the Gotei 13. This experiment, if successful, would allow for shinigami on patrol to take a single pill and be healed from most hollow attacks. He was working on making them stronger in case someone ever decided to make stronger hollows like the espada had been under Aizen's control. The last thing Soul Society needed was another set of incidents like the ones made by the late captain Aizen. The last tests had shown some interesting problems with the test subjects like long periods of unconsciousness and other sets of organs growing inside of them. Kisuke set some of those pills aside for later use and experimentation. He was just about to add another ingredient when he heard someone knocking on the door to the lab. With a slight almost crazed smile, he went and opened the door.
"Lieutenant Hitsugaya, how wonderful to see you! Come in, Come in. How may I help you?", Kisuke said both surprised and annoyed at Toshiro's visit. He was annoyed because he hadn't finished working on his experiment, but surprised as Toshiro rarely came to ask him for anything. Just by the look on Toshiro's face, he could tell this wasn't merely him asking for Soul Society business.
Toshiro raised and eyebrow and walked in. He knew the laboratory was soundproof and began speaking when the door was shut and he both saw and felt no one else around. "I need a favor, Kisuke. I am willing to be a test subject for you one day if everything works out.", he said to him smoothly turning to look up at the other.
"Oh? Interesting.", Kisuke said in a more serious tone motioning for Toshiro to have a seat. "What exactly do you require?", he asked.
"I wish for something that would make someone unexplainably angry at someone else. Perhaps something that plays on their already unconscious thoughts and darkest feelings. Something that could be added to anything to make sure the subjects take it.", he said softly looking at Kisuke. "I also require hallucinogens."
"Do you know how much of a dose you need?", Kisuke asked him as he looked through some of the things he had.
Toshiro closed his eyes and thought about it. "Well one of the subjects I believe has been tested against poisons though it would be my guess that both subjects were. Is that relevant enough information?", he asked him never once losing his cool.
"It helps. Do you wish for it to be different for both parties?", Kisuke asked him. Toshiro looked at him with a look that said explain. "For example, I have one liquid form of something that would cause one of the subjects to perhaps bruise slightly easier for only fifteen minutes. If you wanted to use it on your fiance for example he would bruise somewhat easier in case you wanted to punish him and leave love bites on him for others to see."
"Interesting. I think that one will do well for me.", Toshiro said and Kisuke was wondering what was going through the younger male's mind.
He had already figured out that this wasn't for kinky play between the short white haired ex-captain and his fiery red-headed lover. The only thing he could think of was that the two discovered Byakuya and Jushiro's plan, but something still didn't sit right. There would be no need to request the things Toshiro was requesting if it was simply a revenge plan. This seemed to be something deeper than that...almost as if, Kisuke thought letting his thoughts trail until he smiled. Oh, so that's what this was.
"Alright then Lieutenant.", Kisuke said with a light smile before getting all the drugs Toshiro requested and handed it to him. "You know that this stays between us. I'd rather not be exiled again for helping you especially since I've found someone delightfully fun to spend my time with.", he said to him.
Toshiro raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. "Oh I wouldn't want to mess that up. Just as you will not tell anyone I was here including those above you.", he told Kisuke.
"No problem. Have fun now. Don't cause too much trouble.", Kisuke said to him and Toshiro stood up nodding and then left.
Time: 10AM
Place: 6th division office
Toshiro made his way to Renji's office as the other members of division went about their business. They would rather not face Renji's wrath that day. Even though the captain seemed a bit softer since dating the white haired lieutenant of the first, only one person had been idiotic enough to test the red-head's limits. They had been on the training grounds doing their sparring exercises as was expected of them every morning around nine a.m. when they came to work. Every once in a while, Renji would come to check on them to make sure they were performing up to standard though the visits were so random no one knew when he was going to show up.
During a rest period between one set of repetitions, one of the shinigami decided to comment on their captain's choice in dating lieutenant Hitsugaya with a bit more malice than he should have been. The shinigami in question had said things that would have led to an immediate dismissal, incarceration or exile. Captain Renji had stopped and let his reiatsu flare so that the speaker knew he was in the area. It hadn't been a pretty sight.
-Flashback-
"I don't see why we have to work this hard when other divisions don't have to. I mean seriously we should all just stop training and rest for today. There haven't been any hollow attacks since Aizen fell and even then there are thirteen squads so Captain Abarai should stop treating us like slaves. Besides doesn't he have that tiny cute lieutenant as his lover? You'd think he'd pull that stick out of his ass getting to fuck him every night. I know I'd be happy if it was me.", the man ranted angrily.
"Thats our captain. You can't say things like that.", another shinigami said.
"Why the hell can't I? Its not like he comes to these damn morning tortures he puts us through. Not to mention he probably got the position because he was dating Lt. Hitsugaya. From what I hear he wasn't even that good of a lieutenant and rarely won his fights. If he was I am sure he'd be in first division and we could have a captain with a heart who wouldn't order us to do boring training every day.", he continued.
"You have no right t-", another shinigami interrupted.
"No right my ass! I am supposed to be happy to be in a squad lead by a captain that not even the commander wanted to keep around? I am strong enough to defeat anything that comes my way and its complete crap that I am not even a seated officer.", the man said.
"Is that so?", Renji asked coming out of the shadows with his voice sounding colder than the iciest rain one could imagine. "You believe with that attitude and mediocre skill that you should be a seated officer in my division? Well then prove it."
The man had slightly shivered in fear when he felt Renji's reiatsu, but stood his ground. "How would you like me to prove it, captain?", the man said with much emphasized disgust put on captain.
Renji just narrowed his eyes slightly and let his reiatsu flair only a little bit more so that it seemed to be weaker than the man challenging him currently. "A duel. If you believe you are strong enough to be a seated officer than I am sure you will be strong enough to give me a decent match."
"Decent? I bet I could beat you easily.", the man boasted not wanting to look weak in front of the other members of the division.
A slow almost sadistic looking smile spread over Renji's face. "Well then by all means defeat me.", he said to the man.
"With pleasure.", the man said releasing his zanpakuto as the other shinigami cleared with a few shaking their head at the idiot challenging Renji. The man was new enough, but he knew the ettiquette one should have when talking to superiors and such so no one felt sorry for him.
Renji watched the male and released his shikai. This idiot was not worth releasing his bankai and needing to get the training area repaired. He knew the male was new to his squad and had only been here since after he started dating Toshiro. In fact he wasn't even sure if the male had been here for a whole two months which means he hasn't seen the training that Renji put the squad through on certain days. This would be amusing.
He let the male rush at him and attack his zanpakuto sending multi-colored lightning at Renji. The captain stood there and just before the lightning hit he flash stepped slightly to the side causing the attack to miss. "This is a pretty poor start.", he commented to the male as he easily dodged each attack. "I haven't even gotten to use my zanpakuto."
The other male looked at him angrily with his reiatsu flaring higher as he tried to intimidate Renji to attack him. Renji stopped just as an attack came towards him and let it hit him. The other male had pride in his eyes as he saw that he had managed to get cause a tiny bit of damage. "Hah! Didn't block that one did you?", he said in a superior manner.
"No, I let it hit me. Now after that lovely warm-up lets have an actual spar.", Renji said and in less than a minute the tables had turned and the shinigami was doing his best to try and keep up with the calm but angry captain. The battle was over only a few minutes later. The other shinigami was on the ground bleeding heavily and panting, but Renji only looked down with cold eyes. "I am the captain of this squad because I am capable of running it. I achieved my bankai as a lieutenant and had been the lieutenant of squad six since before Aizen defected. Regardless of my personal matters which involves my fiance that you so willingly admitted to wanting to sleep with, I earned this spot after my many years of being a shinigami and improving my skills. And the captain commander that you so carelessly thought to mention in your tirade against me would not have allowed me this position if he didn't think me capable. I know him better than you do as he was once my captain and captain of this squad in which he took lots of pride in. You seem to be fresh out of the academy with experience more than the minor hollows you have beaten on scouting missions. I have helped face off against the highest class hollows there were including Aizen's espada. Do not fool yourself into believing that a few months of being a shinigami makes you stronger than all of us.", Renji said keeping his gaze on the male.
"My apologies captain.", the male said to him.
Renji closed his eyes and then opened them looking at all of his squad before the male on the ground. He held out his shikai and then sliced a jagged line into the male's arm symbolic of the tattoos that adorned his body. "That will scar and this will be your only warning. If you dare to speak such filth in my division again, you will be written up and locked up until a fitting sentence is decided on and I promise you it will be a sealing of your powers and being exiled. Now go to the fourth and get cleaned up and healed. When you come back, you will give me your zanpakuto and your job for the next five years will be cleaning the sixth division completely. I will allow you supervised training three times a week so that you may continue to connect with your zanpakuto, but that is all. You are dismissed.", Renji said looking at the others in squad again before walking away back to his office.
That had been six months ago and the male still hadn't completely recovered from both the physical and mental wounds.
~End of Flashback~
Toshiro finally made his way to Renji's office and knocked before entering. Upon hearing the 'come in', he went in and shut the door making sure it was locked in the process. They couldn't risk anyone coming in and witnessing any of the conversation they were about to have. It could be considered treason against the captain commander if they were discovered annd so precautions had to be taken. Renji set aside the paperwork he was finishing and motioned for Toshiro to take a seat in the chair on the other side of his desk.
"Where you able to get what we needed?", Renji asked him as Toshiro sat down.
"Yes.", Toshiro said producing a light colored liquid bottle for Renji. "It will be tea time for him soon as he likes to have tea while finishing up the last bit of paperwork he has before meeting the other around twelve-thirty for lunch. Do you remember what you were going to tell him when you go there in a bit?"
"Naturally. I may have been quite reckless some years back, but I have changed since then Toshiro. You know that better than anyone.", Renji told him.
Toshiro smiled. "Yes, I do. Alright. I am supposed to be getting some paperwork from other captains so I will go and visit the other. One of the things I got will allow me to leave 'kiss' marks quite easily. So it should be fun. Don't forget I like watermelon.", he said to him.
"Don't worry. I had my fifth seat go and get it for me. So I will have it when I meet you later.", Renji said getting up and walking over to Toshiro. "Good Luck Toshiro.", he said with a smile.
Toshiro stood up on the chair and gave Renji a soft kiss. "You too.", he said and left.
Time: 11 AM
Place: 1st division office
Renji was carrying a tray of tea to Byakuya. He had put the drug in the tea and was relieved that it had no noticeable odor that would have taken away from the aroma of the tea. Gently, he knocked on the door before walking inside the office with a smile. Byakuya sat up a bit straighter trying to hide the slight surprise at Renji bringing him his tea just like old times when he was captain of the sixth division.
"Renji?", Byakuya asked as the red-haired male placed the tray of tea on the desk.
"Hello captain.", Renji said giving Byakuya a small trip down memory lane of what they used to have when they were captain and lieutenant together.
Byakuya felt a small twinge in his chest. He had wished he still had Renji as his lieutenant especially more recently after realizing his feelings. Toshiro was fantastic to work with and very sure to finish and complete all his work in a timely manner, however Byakuya would admit to needing a bit of disruption in his otherwise usually calm work life. Disruptions gave him a moment of peace from the large stacks of paperwork that he had to complete. He remembered some of Rukia's words that only caused this moment to seem more painful than nostalgic.
~Flashback~
Rukia looked up at her brother's expressionless face glaring at him. "What is on my mind, brother dearest, is the fact that Renji hasn't been himself for about four years now. I miss my best friend and whether he admits it or not the reason he is so blank and empty is you.", she said with a bit of anger in her voice and reiatsu.
"Why do you think I am the cause of Renji finally maturing?", he asked her still calm.
"Maturing? Is that what you call it? Ha! Let me shine some light on the situation for you Com-man-der. You promoted Renji to your lieutenant for the 6th division. Renji dreamed of surpassing you for quite some time but after a while he just wanted you to be proud of him...to notice him. I mean seriously it couldn't have been that hard for you to see that. He has gotten better with everything that he could just to please you. And don't forget Byakuya that beautiful moment in the war where you, not Renji, but you lost focus and right before you were about to be dealt a final killing blow Renji was the one that came to your rescue. Not me, not Ichigo, not Shunsui, and damn sure not Hitsugaya. It was Renji. It was Renji who fought so hard to save you, and to protect you. It was Renji who ended up in the 4th division for about a week and a half from the damage he took to make sure you were safe. No one else, just Renji. He left the others he was helping just to save you and fight by your side. Why? Not only was he a faithful lieutenant, but he truly cared about you Byakuya. Not just as a captain, but as a person.", Rukia said in tears by this point. "And you know what you did to repay him for all that? You not only did NOT visit him in the 4th division. When you were named Captain Commander, you named Hitsugaya your lieutenant. Renji might not ever admit to it, but I know him better than he realizes. You might have just as well as killed him that day. At least I think that would have hurt him less than you breaking his heart.", Rukia said wiping tears from her eyes as she thought of her friend.
Byakuya looked at her his face not showing any emotion. "So because I did not think Abarai worthy of being my lieutenant when I became Captain Commander, he has apparently changed in some way?"
She looked at him with disgust and anger in her eyes. "Because you did not think him worthy of continuing to be your lieutenant?", she chuckled a low hollow chuckle. "Well I think this conversation is over.", she said as she placed her cup in the sink. She turned back to Byakuya. "You know even though I never met her, I am surprised my sister had even cared enough about you to marry you. Who would want to be with someone so cold and unfeeling. You never deserved to have Renji as your lieutenant.", she said and then left to her room before he could say anything.
~End of Flashback~
He never had deserved Renji as his lieutenant and he really didn't deserve Renji as his friend considering all he was doing to take away Renji's happiness so that he could be happy with Renji. All of that made this all seem so much more painful than it was. The feelings must have been showing in his eyes in some way for he was again surprised at Renji's next words.
"Relax Byakuya. I am sorry if I made you remember things that you rather not remember. I had only wanted to express that I was not upset with you for what happened. Had I been in your shoes I may have done the same things. I have talked to Toshiro and we are working through it so there are no hard feelings.", he said to him.
Byakuya just stared at Renji. "You... I understand that things happen and I am appreciative that you are not upset with me. I...I am working things out with Jushiro though it has caused cracks in our relationship.", he said remembering that he had a plan to keep going with.
"Understandable. It is not an easy thing to work through, but I hope you will be able to.", Renji lied with calm sincerity. He had perfected a few things over the years and this happened to be one of them. "Would you perhaps like to spar after tea? It may help to relieve some stress and before you ask I read about in one of those magazines Ichigo's dad kept around the place."
"I am aware already that sparring can relieve some stress Renji. Actually, a spar sounds quite nice about now not to mention it may be nice to see your improvement as our last spar was over ten years ago.", Byakuya said before picking up his tea. He sipped it savoring the way it tasted. Only Renji seemed to get his tea perfect each time, well after all these years anyway.
Renji sipped his tea as well. "Sounds like a plan, captain.", he said with his trademark smirk as he watched Byakuya drink the drugged tea.
