Making it closer to the repentenance cell, we came across Lieuteneant Renji Abari of Squad 6.
Byakuya's squad...
"Captain Kuchiki has been looking for you, Lady Kusonarii.. and you.. " He glared at Ichigo. "I thought I killed you!"
"Your Captain had almost completely killed me. But I'm gonna kick your ass, Renji! I'm going to save Rukia!"
"You fool.. even if you try to save her... Captain Kuchiki will kill you!"
"Let's settle this, then." Ichigo brought Zangetsu out.
"Fine. ROAR! ZABIMARU!" Renji threw an attack towards Ichigo, as his zanpoktou went into Shikai stage, appearing to be like thousands of blade segements attached to one another.
Ichigo was struck in the shoulder and Renji pulled back. More attacks were on the way. I stood back from a slight distance, worried if Ichigo was going to make it out alive.
Please.. be safe, Ichigo!
Renji was hurling what is now his third attack towards Ichigo. He dodged it, swerved around and finally landed an attack on Renji. Following, they began to clash.
"What business do you have saving Rukia? Why do you want to save her so badly!?"
"She saved my life. She saved my family from a hollow attack. And she gave me the power to protect and defend those I care about. If you care about Rukia, too... why aren't you trying to save her?"
" I.. don't want to upset my captain. Captain Kuchiki... I.."
Then, Ichigo struck a severe blow on Renji. "AHHHH!"
"Rukia... we knew each other for years. "
"What..?"
"She showed up on day in the Rukongai. There were four of us.. All sticking together to fend off how evil the place we called home was. We stole food, we ran from adults. And as time went on, the four of us had power. With Rukia and I having large amounts of spirt energy. Then.. as we grew up, our two friends with us passed away and we were faced with one option."
--flashback--
"Renji.." Rukia stood beside him wearing a floral kimono. "We need to become soul reapers. It's our only way out of this hell. We will be happy. "
"Yeah.."
----------------------------------------
"So we enrolled into the Soul Reaper academy, and not to long after we enrolled, I found Rukia that day.. she was being adopted by the Kuchiki family. She and seemed to drift apart after that. For she was already being put into the position to enter the 13 court squads... since now she was part of a noble family. However.. Rukia's my friend. Please... save her... SAVE RUKIA!"
Ichigo looked at Renji softly; "I will."
We all soon left the area and hopefully some relief was on its way for Renji.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lieutenant Abarai!" Lieutenant Izuru Kira and Momo Hinamori from Squad 3 and 5 found Renji unconscious. "We need to bring him to some safe area for now..!"
They took Renji up to a spot near Squad 4. "Do you think he'll be okay?"
-"What's the meaning of this?" Momo stood up and turned around to see Captain Byakuya Kuchiki standing above them. "Lieutenant Abarai was attacked by the Ryoka..We were going to send him to Squad 4, sir."
Byakuya stared coldly at the unconscious Renji. "Get him out of my sight. Put him in a cell.."
"NOW WAIT A MINUTE! CAPTAIN KUCHIKI THAT IS NO WAY TO TREAT YOUR OWN LIEUTENANT!!"
Byakuya turned back around at Lieutenant Hinamori. "Excuse me..?"
"We're sorry, sir!" Lieutenant Kira forced Momo to bow. "Sorry sir.."
He scoffed and was walking away. He looked out into the night sky. "She was there... I can't take this anymore.. I need to see her... Hisana..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile underground. "I can't heal Ichigo's injuries.. they are too severe." Hanataro
"I'll take care of them." Yourichi appeared. "Just give me a few days." The cat disappeared off with Ichigo.
I stood before Hanataro and Ganju. You two.. I'm gonna try something with you guys. "We're gonna get Rukia. I can't stand to see Ichigo suffer all of this time anymore. Are you with me?"
"yes!" They both shouted in unison.
"Let's go.."
