Say My Name

The Build Up

Disclaimer: Bleach is not mine, but still dreaming about that.

And please do not kill me with my grammar.

Thanks!

"Build Up"

The build up lasted for days
lasted for weeks, lasted too long

our hero withdrew, when there was two
he could not choose one, so there was none

worn into the vaguely announced

the spinning top made a sound like a train across the valley
fading, oh so quiet but constant 'til it passed
over the bridge into the distances
written on your ticket to remind you where to stop
and when to get off

"What the fuck Rukia?! Can't you even do a very simple task like cleaning?!"

Renji threw the wrinkled bed sheets to Rukia who's currently laying down the floor, sleeping. She's been sleeping a lot these days, because no matter what she do, she still feels so tired like her reatsu was being sucked away from her. If this continued, she will not be able to supply enough reatsu to her sword to retain the whole Soul Society to its frozen state.

She pulled the sheets away from her face and faced Renji with a frown.

"What is your problem Renji?!"

She sat up and threw the sheets back towards Renji.

Renji immediately caught the sheets and threw it aside.

"You are my problem! You're always sleeping! You're not even helping us around here! What do you think of me? A fucking maid?!"

Rukia snickered and chuckled.

"That's the main reason why you're here you asshole!"

They started growling at each other, then Renji snatched another sheet and threw it towards Rukia, but Rukia easily evaded it, and it landed on the sleeping Toshiro instead.

"What the fuck-?"

Toshiro angrily took the sheets away from his face and looked at both Rukia and Renji who immediately stopped their bickering.

"R-Renji started it!"

"What the fuck Rukia?! I'll kill you!"

"SHUT UP!"

Both of them shuddered as Toshiro's reatsu filled the surroundings. Their knees almost giving up from the heavy pressure that was suddenly trying to pin them down.

Rukia just closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, then as if there's no tomorrow, allowed herself to fall down.

"O-Oi! Rukia!"

Renji, even though having a hard time himself, immediately caught Rukia before she completely fell on the floor.

Fuck, she's cold...

"Oi! Rukia!"

Renji panicked. Yeah, it was not supposed to be like this. He was just trying to cheer her up because she was always down and she looked so damn tired nowadays. He knows the burden that she has been shouldering for the past 18 years, that's why he would always act dumb in front of her.
