Traitor (Renji Yomo x Reader) [Continued in a second book!]

Smiling Surprise

Knowing that Renji would be near me, making sure I was safe, made me feel more secure.

Even though I never really felt in danger before, it was nice to know that someone was watching over me. Of course it worried me that I got attacked by a ghoul - which was also the only time I felt like my life was in danger - but .. I actually thought it was normal.. Like a daily thing. Something that - unfortunately - happens to a lot of people on a daily base - I sure was glad that I got saved, but at the same time I still didn't understand why my life was so important.

It was all just a huge confusing mystery to me.

Since I had already missed half of my lectures for the day, I decided to go grocery shopping instead to waste some time until 4pm - which was when my next lecture would start.

Nothing spectacular happened during those hours but it sure felt strange that Renji would have to watch over me while I was shopping for food.

Every now and then I saw him in the corner of my eye, we awkwardly passed each other - he was checking out some baking accessories, which made me giggle.

Once I had everything I went to a check out - he went to a different one but we ended up paying at the same time.

He actually bought something but I couldn't tell what is was - nonetheless I felt a little bad because he probably felt pressured to buy something because of me.

That was our last meeting for today, after that our distance grew wider.

But I always felt watched, which..hopefully.. meant that he was still with me.

On my way and during my lectures I didn't notice anything strange. Everything went just as always: students playing stuff on their laptops or phones, some were taking notes, others were sleeping, the daydreamers were there as well and half of the class never showed up to begin with.

Just a normal day at Kamii.

Later, as soon as I entered my dorm I felt alone and .. not necessarily unsafe but.. Less safe.. Knowing that Renji was on his way home now, no longer watching over me.

Throughout the entire day it bothered me that the Anteiku ghouls felt the need to give me a "bodyguard", to protect me. Their explanation was rather lame too.

After all, they kept saying how people were after me and they wouldn't want me to get hurt - but why?

I was just a normal human being with no memories of my past and an extreme weird heart.

It still began to hurt every now and then, but I couldn't tell why.

My only thought was that I was probably out of shape and needed to start doing some sport as soon as possible to make these heart problems stop.

But obviously that'd have to wait until my arm.. And my shoulder would be doing better.

So I spend my evening learning, repeating old stuff and eventually ate something.

Again, everything was normal.

At some point I decided to change into my pj's and that was when I noticed something kind of strange.

As I put my jacket onto a hanger a couple of small, folded notes fell out of a pocket.

It surprised me that I hadn't noticed them earlier.

Of course I immediately picked them up and unfolded them, which was quite difficult because I could only use one hand.
