Time: 12:15 PM

Place: Almost to the 6th division

Toshiro had finally caught up to Renji using his flash step. He needed to tell Renji the truth, that he would never betray him especially with that son of a bitch Byakuya. Who the hell did the commander think he was pulling him into that position? Maybe the man really did get off on seeing Renji in pain. The way his lover had stumbled over his words and ran made Toshiro's heart want to break. Renji had to believe him. He wouldn't have given himself to Renji, if he was just going to end up with another man less than 24 hours later.

"Renji, wait listen to me.", Toshiro asked him. No one else would have noticed except those close to him, but his voice was pleading for Renji to wait up and listen to him.

Renji turned with anger and hurt showing clearly in his eyes. "What could you possibly have to tell me? That you had planned this all along. To make me think that you loved me? To make me fall in love with you just to break me all over again?", Renji said in a harsher tone than Toshiro had been expecting.

As a result of the tone used Toshiro winced. "I would never do that to you Renji.", he said in a quiet voice.

"Well it sure as hell looked like thats what you were doing back there. Damn! Couldn't you have waited until at least after our lunch break? Or better yet waited at least a couple of days after we took our relationship to the next level rather then moaning like a whore on top of Byakuya not even a day later?", Renji asked with emotionless eyes that felt as if they were cutting through Hitsugaya's soul.

"Renji...it wasn't like that. I didn't kiss him. He kissed me!", Toshiro said to him. After all this time why didn't Renji trust him? Though he supposed he would have reacted the same if their positions were switched.

"I find it hard to believe that. You are also a powerful captain regardless of the fact that you are the 1st division's lieutenant now! You expect me to believe that he just kissed you and you tried to fight him off but couldn't? Pathetic!", he said still with an angry tone. "I know you are stronger than that and I know that you could never be so distracted as to let him get the upper hand on you. Just leave me alone.", Renji said and left leaving a very hurt looking Toshiro.

Time: 12:40 PM

Place: 6th division training grounds

Renji was just laying on the ground looking up at the sky. It did not matter that his uniform was going to get dirty, nor did it matter that tears wanted to fall from his eyes. He had ran away from the 1st division office and ran here to clear his head. He had seen Rukia as he ran past reading the look of concern on her face. He had on stopped long enough to mumble a few words Byakuya kissed Toshiro, before he ran to the training area. No one was practicing today as Renji had been so happy he gave them the day off. Now he was wondering what to do. Toshiro said he loved him, said he would do anything for Renji, so then why did he kiss Byakuya? He remembered the scene vividly. They were on the ground of their office, Toshiro's arms and legs to either side of Byakuya, muffled sounds being made by his lover, and Byakuya's arms wrapped around him.

The image played over and over in his mind until he realized something. Those weren't Toshiro's moans. Suddenly, a feeling of guilt and overall anger at himself washed over Renji. He was an idiot. He really really didn't deserve Hitsugaya now. He groaned out in frustration covering his eyes. Of course, he should have realized it a lot sooner. Renji knew what Hitsugaya's moans sounded like and those weren't it. Oh god, what had he just done? He winced as he remembered the things he said to Toshiro. He had no right to ask for forgiveness. Toshiro had trusted him and helped him with everything involving Byakuya's betrayal and apparently new found interest in him. Then at the moment it seemed as though Toshiro betrayed him, he walked away without a second thought. He had not ended their relationship, but it sure as hell wasn't happy-go-lucky at this point.

Making his decision, Renji stood up and went to go find his lover. He could not blame Toshiro, if he wanted to end their relationship. It would all be his fault as well. He chose not to listen, not to think, only to attack and now he might lose one of the only other people who seemed to genuinely care about him. He ran and ran until he found Toshiro sitting in the place where they had first made their relationship official.

"Toshiro...", he said approaching him slowly.

Time: 1PM

Place: 1st division office

Rukia was fuming. How dare Byakuya claim to want to make amends with Renji and then do something like that? What the hell did he think Renji was, a damn foot stool? She continued and marched into his office seeing him sitting alone at the desk doing paperwork and slammed the door shut. Byakuya didn't even glance up from his desk and just kept filling out paperwork and signing his name on things. He even felt her reiatsu spike and still said nothing to her.

"Aren't you even going to acknowledge my presence?", she asked him with her voice laced in anger.

He glanced up at her. "What do I owe this pleasure dear sister?", Byakuya asked. Even though his voice was the usual monotone and his face expressionless, Rukia could hear the sarcasm of his words.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?! You said that you wanted to make up with Renji and then you have the audacity to kiss Toshiro knowing Renji would catch you? Do you really get some sort of sick pleasure out of seeing Renji in pain? Don't even answer that. I know you do.", she said still obviously angry.

Byakuya said nothing and merely looked at her with disinterest, so she continued.

"You think that kissing Toshiro is going to break him and Renji apart! I will make sure it doesn't happen even if I have to spend every moment doing it. You can NOT have Renji this way you selfish bastard! You didn't even want him! You didn't want him until Hitsugaya showed interest!", she yelled. She needed to get a reaction out of him, something, anything. "You know what it doesn't even matter. You did not even think of what you had just done to Renji. You just wanted to see him suffer! The same way you probably cried tears of joy when my fucking sister died!"

That had done it. Byakuya stood by his desk with his mask dropping away quickly at the mention of Hisana. "You have no right to say that! I loved Hisana with all my heart. I broke all the rules just to be with her and you dare say that I cried tears of joy when she died. It felt like my heart was being ripped from my body when she closed her eyes for the last time.", he said the anger not hard to miss on his face.

"You know dumbass, that was the exact way Renji felt when you threw him away! And I am sure that is the exact way Renji feels now since you kissed Hitsugaya! He will never forgive you for that!", she said to him.

"You're wrong.", Byakuya said his voice still raised. "Renji will forgive me. He will forgive me because I love him."

Rukia snorted. "You have a funny way of showing it asshole, oh I mean Lord Kuchiki.", she said. "You will be lucky if Renji even so much as acknowledges you after what you did today.", she said and on that note she left leaving Byakuya alone to his thoughts.

Byakuya sat back down. He did not know what to do in his little plan to achieve Renji's affections now. He did not care that he had just confessed his love for the red-head to Rukia. Its not like she would say anything after declaring to do her best to keep Renji and Hitsugaya together. His mind was working on formulating new plans to get Renji back to his rightful place at any cost. As much as he didn't want to, he would break Renji down even further to get him by his side. There had to be something, anything, that could aide in his attempt. He was just about to start on paperwork again when he noticed a hell butterfly sent from another division. He let it move closer as he listened to the message.

'I will help you to get Renji back by your side. I know you may reply saying you don't need help, but lets just say that this will mutually benefit both of us, commander. In time we will both have what our hearts desire.'

Byakuya thought about it for a moment. He recognized what division this message was sent from and a small smile formed on his face. He was not one to usually accept help, but if this meant he would get Renji then he was by all means for it. He sent a message back saying that he would accept the help and asked to meet up at their place to further discuss the plan in detail. A smile threatened spread across his face thinking of all the possibilities that could win him Renji's heart.

Time: 1:45 PM

Place: Under a tree by a river to the south, Seireitei

Toshiro glanced at Renji when he said his name but neither had spoken for a long moment. Renji felt his heart stop as his eyes met those of his white haired lover. The eyes were glistening with unshed tears making them looking like perfect jewels on Toshiro's face.

Renji was the first to speak up. "I am sorry Toshiro. I had no right to say what I did. I guess I was just shocked and angry about the whole thing. It was only when I thought about it that I realized you were telling the truth. I know I am probably the last person you want to see right now. The person you gave everything to, easily turning on you at first glance. I know how that feels and I never wanted to make another person feel that way. As I was looking for you I realized that, I wouldn't have gotten that upset and angry over just anyone. That the feelings I have for you are maturing faster than I had originally thought that they would. I guess what I am trying to say is that I love you, Toshiro Hitsugaya."

Toshiro stared at him wide-eyed. Never in the two months they had been dating had Renji ever told him he loved him. He had been the one to confess his love to Renji, but all Renji had done was smile in return or protest. Now he was sitting here telling him the words he had so desperately wanted to hear from Renji's lips. He almost lost it right then ready to cry at the beauty of the moment. He wasn't sure Yumichika could have fantasized a more beautiful one. Still he had to be cautious.

"Renji, do you realize what you are saying?", he asked softly.

"I am telling that I am in love with you Toshiro. Yes, I am fully aware of what I am saying and how I feel about you.", Renji said to him and then moved closer kissing him on the lips.

Toshiro kissed him back before feeling Renji pull away. This made things a lot easier on his mind. "I love you Renji, so much. I am so happy to hear you say that you love me too.", he said before kissing Renji again intiating a make out session between them. He didn't care about going back to work as he felt he would kill Byakuya if he saw him right now.

Time: 2:30 PM

Place: Some division in Gotei 13 that is not the 1st or 6th division

A lone shinigami approached him while he was sitting at his desk. He delivered a short report on how Renji and Hitsugaya had made up and were currently making out by the river. The shinigami behind the desk nodded and dismissed the other. Once alone in the place, he began to think up a strategy to get what he wanted. He only hoped that the commander would be up for anything his plans entailed.

Yes I know it is rather short, but I didn't want to give away too much right now. Let's just say things are going to get a tad bit more interesting now. I think so anyway lol.
