should not be jarring as it should actually be correct. If not tell me than I give it another look. LDX :)
Chapter 5
I got to the place that Rukia said humans called school, which I think is a glorified babysitting center seeing as how they don't practice mastering their Zanpaktus, learn Kido or even have simulation battles. Oh humans are weird. It was nearing the time for the school day to start, and still no sign of Ichigo, even though he avoids us we usually see him come to school, never stopping to join us but we all hope none the less he will stop by.
Rukia shot me a death glare as the bell rang to start the day. I know she told me to follow him, which I did but after watching him load a truck with several boxes for a couple of hours. I assumed he worked there and left not thinking much of it. I mean what could have possibly happened? The place was so far out of Karakura town that it looked like no one had been there in years let alone lived there for God's sake. The only thing that showed the place was still usable was the only road leading in or out of there. I was told by chad that the road out of Karakura town lead to Clearwater Providence which was one of the other districts of Karakura Town, and it was one of the lesser poorer districts.
"Renji care to explain where Ichigo is, I thought I told you to follow him last night?" She was giving me one of her famous looks I think she got from Kuchki Taichou that meant business. Everyone usually shrank away from her when she gave you this look. Even her own captain knew not to mess with her when she had this look.
"I did Rukia calm down…"
"Well then where is he Renji because his sisters came to me asking where he was?" she yelled and I sighed.
"He didn't come home? I followed him to this store near Clearwater providence and I assumed he worked there because he was loading a truck for a couple of hours so I left." I explained to her.
"Renji, baka that is the last part of town you want to not follow him in." scowled Rukia as she punched me in the back of the head. "Well since you couldn't keep tabs on him we will just have to go look for him after school" She said as she grabbed me and before I knew what was happening .We left our gigai's and told them to tell the other's to meet up at Urahara's later.
As we be began shunpoing toward the last place I saw him, I filled Rukia an exactly what I saw him doing. As I explained to Rukia the place was just as dead as I remembered it yesterday, except something fowl swept in the air, like something unspeakable just happened here recently I couldn't put my finger on it. But we knew it wasn't good.
~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
When I awoke, I was in a dimly lit room. I also heard a laugh I couldn't quiet place I tried to move only to feel restraint on my wrists and ankles. Screaming wasn't an option as I realized I was gagged as well. I looked around there was nothing with in sight that I could see. Only bear walls, like I was in basement of some kind. The room looked like it was abandoned, as it smelled really fucking badly in here. It had the smell of blood and sex. Like someone before me had it multiple times in here? It was gross to think about. Yuck, I thought as I looked down. It took a moment as I looked down to register that I was suspended in the air. Oh my fucking god! This isn't happening, and it was as I realized I was chained up in the air. That is when I heard someone or something entered, and I couldn't see it was behind me as I heard a door open and close with a thud. Then a click as it locked in place. I only assumed that it locked in place, I mean I heard the clicking sound that a lock would make.
"Good boy you're awake." I heard him say as he approached from behind. "I can smell your fear boy. Why are so nervous?" I heard him laugh in the mist of the sentence as it sent shivers up my back. "You shouldn't be, isn't this something you have several times before." I heard him say this as it brought a striking reality to it. I never told anyone, no one ever. How the hell did he know?" that sacred me as I started to struggle to get free, but it was no use. I was here to stay at the mercy of the man whom I had no idea who he was. He had complete control over me, and this scared the fuck out of me. At least when I was going through this, I was under the supervision of my father. So if it threatened his money maker's life it was usually put to a stop. Now there was no one, no body, just him and me. This wasn't good.
"Now, now stop struggling you're only making me harder. I found you, did you think you hide from me boy. I can sense you, smell you, everything about you even your darkest secrets." That was just creepy. How can he I thought? I didn't even know him. At least that what I thought as I couldn't place the voice either. I couldn't see his face he was behind me. Nothing was going in my favor in this situation, nothing. I was fucking doomed, and with no escape.
"I know you want me to fuck you. I know you do…" he laughed again as my eyes widened while he began to trail his calloused hands towards my undoing. "See you're getting hard just thinking about what I'll do to you, your just a little bondage faggot aren't you? I felt it slip down, as I looked down and saw it. I shivered as my last protection was ripped off. I was naked now, shaking with fear, as the dreaded helpless feeling was settling in. I knew it. I struggled and found that I was trying to scream against the gag, which was muffled and reduced to angry moaning. I heard them rattling as I tried with all my strength to break them. It was no use they just wouldn't break. What did I expect that out of the mercy of god that just this once something would role in my favor? Hell yeah right, maybe in a dream that would happen. But this is not a dream, as much as I wanted it to be so; this was the cold harsh reality I was in. Nothing was in my favor, nothing ever was.
"Stop screaming against the gag, you don't want to make me mad now do you?" He slapped me across the face. What the fuck I though, as I shot him that defying look. "What got a little balls now boy?" he looked at he with those eyes, it induced fear in me, but I never resolved with my look. "I see" as he slapped me again. "You need to learn exactly who the fuck is in charge here boy." he looked at me again as he struck me in the stomach. I just stammered as I lost my breath. It hurt bad as I tried to catch my breath.
"Learning is only the first part boy. And you have a lot to fucking learn." He disappeared in the room, then he came out holding a whip it was black with a bunch of little spikes on it.
"Now boy you will learn exactly who is in charge. And for your first task you're going to count them as I deliver them. If you miss one of them I get to restart you understand. So pay very close attention to them." laughed the man as he started with it and I counted "one" I said as I heard clash and I whined in pain. "Two" …
~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
"Renji I can't believe you couldn't just listen to me!" growled Rukia at me. Walking past the store and up the street we continued to follow the small bread crumb trail of Ichigo's spiritual pressure. "How hard was it for you to just follow him HOME not to where he was for a couple hours but actually home! His father and sister's will be worried sick about him."
"Rukia I'm sorry. How many times I have to tell you that!" I said sorrowfully. I was really starting to worry about Ichigo. It was nearing the evening now and still we couldn't get a strong sense of his spirit pressure. I wanted to stay and see him home safely but after what happened at school and seeing those markings on his chest bleeding like that I couldn't stay any longer. How could those injuries have happened? He's one of the most powerful death gods around even if he's young. I had to go and think about what's been going on with him we were friends, we battled together, we trained with each other pushing ourselves to reach Bankai and save our friends.
"Renji I'm sorry. It's just that when we came back and everyone told us how Ichigo was I couldn't believe it than I actually saw him and how shut of he was to everyone even us he genuinely looked like he didn't care. On top of that I Yuzu came up to me to ask if I I'd seen him and I hadn't, Renji she looked so worried and mumbled something about how he was too injured to have gone to school. Before I could ask anymore, Karin pulled her away to school so they weren't late. I didn't get to ask what she meant by that." Rukia was trying to comfort us. Where the hell is he?
We continued down the street until our trail stopped cold and so did I.
"Rukia do you sense anything?" I asked as I wasn't sure if I was the only one that sensed the sudden break in the trail we were following.
"No it just breaks off here. Renji this isn't good, I don't sense anything beyond here." Rukia told me in a worried tone I was feeling it to, the sudden worry and I couldn't help but feel that I was to blame for him missing. God please let him be alive I don't know what I'd do if was my fault he died, how would I explain it to his sisters, his father or even the gang of all people.
"Renji, we need help we have to tell them, we have to Renji…" She was so sincere I couldn't say no. After all they had been through with Soul Society; I knew this was bigger than me than both of us, if we were even remotely going to have a chance of finding him we would have to involve them.
"Should we send for his family as well?" I heard myself ask. I didn't really want to involve them but I really was worried for Ichigo, and I would suck up my pride and involve them if it meant I would see him again alive and safe.
"Renji no, let's just try them first. Let's not add any more confusion to this mess ok, one problem at a time." She was really counting on the shear man power to find him. To say she was using chance to find Ichigo was putting it mildly, I doubt they will be able to find Ichigo anymore than we can. Rukia was right not involving the family. After only being a couple of hours, they would have caused too many problems anyways.
Sighing I said we should look a little further than go get the re-enforcements. She scanned the left while scanned the right. I spotted a cloth hanging of a fence a little ways from the shop I last saw him at and went to inspect it. Luckily I just caught a whiff of it, because whatever was on it smelled awful. I coughed and rubbed my head, this shit was strong. On top of that it looked like it was fresh, like it had just been dropped. I walked over to Rukia and gave it her telling her not to smell it.
"Yuck! What the hell is this stuff, it reeks and I'm feeling a little light-headed." She was looking a little wobbly so I took it from her and place it in my pocket. She recovered somewhat and walked off, it was nearly nightfall. We approached Urahara's shop and found our gigai's near the entrance playing cards, we quickly hoped in them and entered the shop where we lead to by Jinta and Uruu towards the conference room. We certainly had some explaining to do.
~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
"Fifteen." I counted as braced for another. "No boy sixteen… Sixteen!" he yelled as he restarted. "One" he said as I heard it smack down. I groaned in pain screaming out. I hurt like hell, and I could feel the blood running down my back. I was crying in pain.
"Well, I can see by your shaking that your done…," he said as he flicked it to the floor, I heard the blood drops hit the floor. It sounded slickly as it splattered there. "but you're not by far done with anything I have planned. You still haven't learned a damn thing, defying me by not keeping count and defying me by giving me that look. Soon oh soon boy I will break that beautiful body of yours. He left as I hung there, my will my desire was weakening. I did not how much more I could take; he was beating it out of me. My want to fight was leaving, as I just wanted it to end. I just wanted to go home.
~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
After explaining everything, I was surprised to find that no one was mad or blamed me for Ichigo's current situation.
"Renji we don't blame you for what's happened to Ichigo. We've all been worried about his behavior and only wish to find him and help him." Urahara stated.
"I agree with Urahara. Ever since he returned from saving Rukia he refuses to see us, as if we don't exist." added Uryu.
"Please let's just find Kuraski-Kun before he's gone and we never see him again." Orhime exclaimed.
"Do you two have a plan of action as to finding him?" Urahara asked.
"Yes, Rukia and I found a piece of cloth with Ichigo's spiritual pressure surrounding it by this store near the poor districts. We searched a pretty large area around there but we should expand the search more into the outskirts of town, I have a feeling he was taken there thinking no one would go looking for him." Renji exclaimed, while handing the cloth to Urahara.
"Oh my, it sounds to me like our young Ichigo has gotten himself into some serious trouble! This has been dipped in what humans call chloroform, it causes the victim to go un-consciousness and suffer from mild amnesia in most cases. Seeing how intense Ichigo's spiritual pressure is I'm sure the side effects don't matter to him." explained Urahara.
No I thought this is not happening, could I have really left Ichigo do his death? How could someone even sneak up on him, he took down Captain Zaraki and my Captain? Why hadn't he turned into his Shinigami form?
As I peered up from my thought's I saw everyone chatting amongst themselves, going in circles about what we should do to find him, I couldn't take it anymore I stood up.
"Listen, now! Ichigo is out there and we have no idea where he is. He's gone missing for one day already and I'm not about to make it two. If I didn't think Ichigo could take care of himself I wouldn't have left him alone, honestly he beat the crap out of Kenpachi I didn't realize how serious he has withdrawn from you guys and even himself. Something is wrong with him and I will figure it out if I have to beat it out of him." Everyone just stared at me with awe and surprise, as if I was a captain or something. I had to put on a brave front right now. Everyone was scared we'd find him dead somewhere, and so was I but they didn't need to hear that. As I had everyone's attention I gave my plan of action.
"Alright we will search until sun down, which should give us plenty of time to come back before nightfall. We should break up in teams of three. I'll go by myself to where I last saw Ichigo while you Chad and Inoue will stay here with Urahara just in case he comes back and needs healing. Rukia and Uryu will go to his house and ask his sister's and father if they've noticed anything strange going on with him or people he's recently been hanging out with.
Turn the volume up on your phones and be sure to let everyone know if you've found something understood?"
After receiving a nod from everyone Chad and Inoue went to a spare room to set up a healing station, while Rukia and Uryu left for his house. I jumped out of my gigai and was turning to leave when Urahara grabbed my wrist, giving me a thoughtful and knowing nod and with that I was gone off to find my friend and my soul mate.
~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
I think somewhere along that time when he left I fell asleep, because when I awoke I screamed only to realize that I couldn't. I heard something coming, it stopped at the door and I heard it open. I was scared as I didn't know what to expect. The pain at this point came creeping back as I groaned.
"Awe I see so you are awake? I thought so, but I didn't want to disturb you." he laughed as he came into the room. I heard it as the clunk from whatever he was wearing sounded in the room. That is when I saw the shiny knife in his hand as he circled around in from of me.
"It seems that our play time has been cut short, but no matter I had fun regardless. I sure you did to, but I am not to please with the service you provide. It positively shitty, and you are as worthless as they come. You father should regret offering something like you to the world." He just looked at me as he brought the knife up to my throat.
"I have noticed in my line of work, that when a person life is at stake the truth comes out. But I don't want the truth, I want your life. I want to drain it out of you. I want to watch you suffer as it comes to an end." His eyes changed in that moment like something in him changed. I didn't know what to do. This man was crazy.
"Oh, pretty boy" he said in a demented voice, "I have a game I want to play." I just looked at him "I call it twenty questions. Each time I ask a question and you answer them. Here are the rules, I ask as many questions as I want, and you answer them. Mouth off and I do something that you would not like. Lie and well, I just leave you guess on that one." He looked at me as he twirled the knife in his fingers. I knew what not answering meant, getting stabbed or cut. "Tell the truth, you get to extend your life longer. Don't answers well let just say that it will not be in your best interest to.
"Question one. Oh I want to play today so let's make this one easy." He removed the gag as I screamed for help.
"Bad Boy!" He took the knife and slashed at my chest. I screamed as the blade hit my chest and drew blood. I just screamed as he made the gash.
"Again question one. Is your name Ichigo Kurosaki?" I just looked at him. Was he serious, I didn't think so? If this was seriously a game why start so easy. So I just hung there looking at him with a questioning look.
"Come on boy this is easy. Just answer my question!" he demanded and I just looked at him. Did he think this was a game? This is my life hanging in the balance so I knew this was not a game for me.
"Yes" I said as I looked at him, as the blood ran off me and dripped on the floor. Eyes still dead set on that knife that now was stained in blood.
"Well, well. He does follow directions. Very good, you get to live for one more question."
"Question two. "Is it true that you work for Mr. Reeves?"
"Yes" I answered as I looked at him. This was starting to get stupid or was he really toying. It was hard to tell at this point.
"My god two in the row, I have to make this harder."
"What is the name of your lover?" I just looked at him, he can't be serious. I do not have a lover; I have never had a chance to even fall for anyone. This question was out there, totally unanswerable.
"I…" I was cut off then with a sly remark from him.
"Liar!" he then plunged the knife in me as I screamed out in pain. "I said I know everything about you. You hold a certain red-head in high regards. I watched you around him, you light up to him, even if you push him away.
"Question three. "What is his name?" I groaned, I didn't want to tell him, he was a friend even if didn't want any. Even though I pushed them all away I still cared. I save one from the Soul Society; this proves how far I will go for them.
"No answer, one more chance now. What is his name?" I didn't answer just looked him in the eyes.
"Such a shame, it seems that question time is over, and sadly my time for this night has come to an end. And for you yours has come to a complete end. While it's been entertaining to play host, sadly I must now see to your leave." He Reach over and plunged the knife in me as I screamed out in pain. He continued to do so until I fainted. At least I think I fainted at that point. Trying to remember is hazy at best. I seem to remember being in the woods, but even that I remotely dream like. But I knew my body was covered in blood, I felt it, as I felt someone pick me up. All I is I tried to fight them off, but I felt something warm. It was so comforting as I leaned into it.
~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
As I retraced my steps from the last place I saw Ichigo I began venturing into the woods that separated Karakura town from the poorer districts, the sun begun setting and still no sign of Ichigo. I couldn't leave him again. I was about to turn around when I heard a scream or something like it and I quickly shunpoed toward it.
I barely reached the forest floor when I smelt the familiar sent of blood. As I began to get closer to the source I felt traces of familiar reitsu. I broke into a sprint in the direction I smelt the blood and stopped cold in my tracks gasping loudly at the sight before me.
There he was a smeared blood trail leading to my Ichigo, surrounded by a pool of fresh blood; his naked body looked like it had been thrown of a building. Bruises, cuts, and burns covered him from head to toe along with dirt, sweat, blood, urine, and sadly semen. I knelt down and called his name pushing him over onto his back.
"Ichigo? Ichigo can you hear me?" I called, whipping some of the blood of his face. His front was worse than his back, it looked like he had been stabbed several times pretty deep and his spiritual pressure was slowly disappearing, I took off my kimono and draped it around him.
Picking my phone from my hakama called Urahara telling him to say I found Ichigo and to be ready to heal him.
"Oh my god Renji" I heard Rukia say worried "Is he alright? Is he alive?" I heard her ask through the phone
"Yes Rukia he is alive, but he needs medical attention." I said as I tried to keep the conversation short, I knew he needed medical attention and the Q&A could wait till I got him taken care of.
"What do you mean?" Rukia shouted through the phone, everyone began asking questions.
"Listen Rukia, everyone I'll explain when I get there ok." As I closed my phone I looked down at Ichigo, and picked him up. He tensed up and began to thrash around so I held him closer to my heart and kissed the top of his head, "shhh Ichigo your safe. I'm here now." As he melted into my arms I squeezed him tight to my chest. I'll never let you out of my sight again, I promise, and with that I made my way back to Urahara's.
O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
The door to the shop opened before I landed and I shoved passed Chad, Rukia and Uryu towards Urahara, Inoue and Tessai. I laid Ichigo down on the bed made for him and as my coat was taken of off him I heard gasps from everyone.
Urahara told everyone to leave as him, Inoue and Tessai got to work.
"Renji, what happened?" Rukia asked.
Looking down at my blood stained kimono I just shook my head and went outside.
A/N: 8/03/12:
Well, we have another chapter after a long and anticipated wait. Yes I know it sucked to wait, but I managed to complete this chapter along with the help of the awesome and magnificently gifted Zaraki-lover 21. Make sure to thank her just much as me as she had a major part in this chapter as well. In fact you should praise her for her awesome beta skills. Without her help there probably would not have been another chapter done as fast, and you all would have waited even longer. Well enough with that haha.
Oh and boom another cliff hanger don't you just love them? You all are going to have to wait and see if he dies or not. haha. I'm not telling either.
Anyways if you want to show your support you can by either Favoring, Following, or Reviewing. Remember that reviews are always welcomed and appreciated. I as in the author love reviews so keep them coming, and I'm sure that Zaraki-lover 21 would like them too. LDX :)
