Hello for the 3rd time.

Welcome to the final short story in my series.

After reading, it seems like this guy is the most fulfilled of the 3 heroes.

But really, it was all three of them.

A little extra

I'm cheering for Kuchiki-san and Ichigo. (It's not Captain Kuchiki.)

But it doesn't affect any writing. (It may affect other things. Hehe.)

How long has it been since I looked at you?

I don't remember when the bond between members of the same family began to develop into love. Since when? Before I knew it, she was beyond my reach.

The first image is deeply imprinted in my mind... A thin girl with a cute face But he's even bolder than me. That body is just that good at everything. Very disturbing. That's when I realized I was a jealous child. It's just a girl. Ugh! Be persistent. I've wanted to masturbate this little girl so many times, but every time I've encountered someone caressing her face.

Now that feeling has not faded. Just unable to do it as desired as in the past.

My brash little girl easily entered the Spirit Academy for a kid from Lukon City like us. In fact, I don't know if it was easy for her or not. Because while I thought it was excruciatingly difficult, That girl smiled happily like it was just a small matter. But when I really arrange the room

I ended up in a better room. Instead of crying about having to separate rooms like a child stuck with an older sibling, she cried. Instead, she pursed her lips and was disappointed that she received lesser scores.

I'm the one who's disappointed. But what will I tell you?

From that day on we became more and more distant. Until I wanted to get attention so I got my eyebrows tattooed without revealing it to anyone and she was the first to see. It's so painful. This crazy girl lost her cool and keeps teasing me until this day. Taste is insanely bad. I think it's really cool.

But because she greeted me every time we saw each other, I assumed that this tattoo had achieved its purpose. I was so proud that I finally got a tattoo all over my body.

Happy times change quickly. It's because it's in the past. Or is it because I want to use it without realizing it?

'That day' I turned my eyes away and looked at the little girl. I'm announcing news and making surprises for fun. But instead, he was hit by a big surprise, causing him to fall flat on his back!

'He asked me to be adopted into the Kuchiki household.'

'I want you to be adopted into the Kuchiki household'

'Go and be adopted into the Kuchiki household'

'Adopted to the Kuchiki House'

'Kuchiki House'

'Kuchiki'

Oh, right…

I don't remember what I said at that time. It's just a stupid word. To cover up my feelings and satisfy my foolish thoughts. If I could go back I wouldn't say something stupid like that, but in my confusion, I thought, I should say something stupid. That went out well.

Cut the connection. It's a lot easier than connecting.

But I don't regret it. in what has already been decided

She's getting a family. My friend is about to get a family. You're about to get what we orphans long for. You are on your way to a higher place than me, to becoming a star, as you have always been in my heart. Don't hold her back even thinking about it. I have no rights...

I repeat this to myself over and over again. I should be pleased.

But I knew, deep down inside, I was growling selfishly. Very pitiful… I crave victory. I was crazy and determined to cultivate. I rose from the ashes and ruins. I just need victory again and again to fill the dark hole in my heart. I grimaced and bared my teeth like I was indifferent, hoping that one day I would be able to stand on the top without the foundation being shaken like that hole again.

My life is a struggle Always and forever

It's because...

'Renji! Hurry and take the entrance exam for the Thirteenth Guards Unit. I'm waiting until my gums are dry!'

Shit, I'm not so weak that I have to keep you waiting, crazy girl.

Then I passed the exam to enter the Thirteenth Guards Unit. In the midst of her nauseating joy I remember me smiling widely and poking my white forehead with my finger. Until her face turned up, pretending… I've always been like that and she knew it. Yet, we both pretended to forget for the time being.

That was my next step towards success. However, I felt like I was just an ape reaching for the stars. Hide your identity and nature like a stray dog. It was just a crazy dog ​​chasing and tearing up the stars in the water. But no matter how much I tried, The stars still shine and shine brightly.

Why? What exactly is my goal? What do I live for? What exactly do I desire?

'Renji..'

There it is again. Just when I ask myself this question, a clear voice floats into my head as if to answer.

'Renji! Today I exerted more force than you! I must get more than Siya!'

'Renji! So excited that you're sweating? The chicken is really young'

'Renji! You're the worst! When you take the entrance exam, luck helps, right?'

'Renji! Hurry and follow me, I'm waiting.'

'Renji! I prepared this meal myself. Tell me what you want to eat! ’

'Renji! I'm worried. Have you listened to each other?'

Annoyed...

Is that all… I can't answer myself. My life is full of struggle It seems to fade away as you come closer. The thin voices shouting orders here and there are annoying, but… I want to be annoyed like this forever.

I want to hear a little voice that bothers me.

This should be enough.

“Renji!”

A gruff but clear voice like a woman's voice sounded behind him. I knew how grim the caller must have been so I pretended to key the unit's office door slowly.

“Renji!”

I turned around, intending to pretend I didn't see him.

“Aff!”

Before I could do as I thought, a small but powerful punch slammed into my left jaw, causing me to almost lie down and count the stars!

“Rukia! What are you doing to me!!!”

“I must ask you! What do you mean by calling ten times and not turning?!”

"Where's ten? Two."

"If you know, why are you still pretending not to hear?"

“Who told you that I couldn't hear?”

“Then why don't you turn around?”

“If you don't turn, it doesn't mean you can't hear.”

etc.

We both searched for hundreds of words to argue with each other, our faces turning red for a long time. It wasn't until the little girl ran out of energy to speak that I was able to drag the matter back to the original point.

“What business did you come to see me for?”

“Do I have to have some business to come to you?” She raised her nose to the point of teasing… I had to restrain myself greatly from poking the tip of that little nose.

"Don't bully me like a two-year-old child, that's disgusting." The dog's mouth immediately replied.

“Renji! You idiot!”

“Okay, hurry up and say it.”

“I, uh, I…” She suddenly blinked as if she just remembered. Then he raised his head so that his round eyes met mine.

“You already know that tomorrow I will be stationed in Karakura City.”

Silence enveloped the two of us for a moment, replacing the golden atmosphere of the evening. I looked at the little girl's face. Gaze deep into the dark, sparkling eyes to read the thoughts that slowly flow. Revealing a sparkling appearance like the shadow of a nymph.

Still…determined…proud and…unsure.

“I know.”

“Oh my gosh, how long have you been able to look at my face like this?”

“So you asked if I knew?”

"I'm asking your opinion."

“Good, let's go out into the field. Rust will eat away at the head. In case you come back, you will be able to improve your weak skills. How immature.”

“You really think so…?”

Rukia frowned. There was a dark shadow crossing his eyes. This girl must have sensed the hypocrisy hidden beneath my happy and disdainful tone.

I want to keep hitting my face like that. I wanted to pretend to drive her away from my humble life.

But don't make that face. Damn it, I don't approve of it at all...

"Ah…Renji, what are you doing…hey!"

I grabbed Rukia's fragile shoulders. His other hand slipped under her knee and she quickly floated. The shouty girl protested loudly. But I don't care. Both feet ran up into the air until they touched the roof of the unit's office and then jumped along the rooftops of other buildings. fluently

The person in my arms went silent when they realized how far I had brought her outside of the city. Beyond the Seireitei wall, into the Fukai area, into the forest.

“Now that I'm going to kill you and hide in the forest, no one will know.”

“Shut your mouth.”

Rukia moaned as I entered the path we were both familiar with. Our eyes scanned together as if using the same pair of eyes. This tree… And that tree The next one must be that tree...every tree we all used to climb like monkeys or langurs.

It's 'us'.

I stopped my steps on the cliff. There was an open field on the horizon, where three mounds stood.

'Renji, who is that?'

'Rukia is really amazing. Definitely better than Renji!'

'Wow! Don't do it to me!'

I slowly lowered the little girl to the ground. She touched her toes lightly. It's like he's afraid that someone will wake up. Then he bent over and took off his socks and shoes and left them on the floor. I complied without her having to explain. In the end, both of our legs stopped in front of those three mounds.

Even though the name that is engraved will fade away, it is deeply engraved in our hearts.

“Miss you,” one short word from Rukia.

Yes… I miss going from five to two. How much will we miss each other?

Think about a feeling. There is no measure. There is only a feeling that overwhelms my heart.

"That's my answer, Rukia."

“What?” she asked absently.

“My answer!” I raised my voice, causing Rukia to flinch. I didn't yell at him. But it was a loud and powerful voice, as if making a speech: “I believe that all these years There is not a day that goes by that you do not ask yourself: Why must they die?!”

“Renji…”

"I! As a member of this ramshackle family I would like to express my condolences to everyone, including you! I would like to open up the questions that have been lingering in our hearts all this time!”

“Renji, I don't…”

“That's because…” My voice softened. But the hard look in his eyes as he faced her did not reduce his fervor in the slightest. “…If they were still here, we would never be able to become angels of death. If we still had them, we wouldn't be able to live comfortably in Seireitei. They don't live for us, Rukia.

But they died for us. That's because you are loved by everyone, both I and the three of them are willing to sacrifice so that you can be happy.”

Even though he stared at his slender face But the flow of feeling in the voice gradually changed.

“Will you use hesitation or strength to repay their sacrifice, Rukia?!”

The first time she raised her head The last light from the horizon must have played tricks on the scene in front of her, causing it to appear as a glimmering shadow at the edge of Rukia's vision before she answered loudly and clearly, like a soldier answering a commander.

“Strength!”

Under the last light of the sun Rukia and I hugged each other tightly as if we were becoming one.

No matter how far apart we are But we are one family.

No matter how different people walk different paths Different goals or different experiences We are one soul, indivisible, coming from the same basic and raw instinct. Someday I will walk into the same dark hole.

I fought, biting and tearing. To fight for the stars Or to protect your own heart?

I don't know...

No matter how I deliberately broke that bond with my own hands, the thin but strong bond would never be broken. What a strange joy flooded my chest.

Regardless of me, Rukia, or our love. I am pleased to know that Rukia's heart is still one with mine.

That's enough.

“Today, Butler Seke will give me a little treat. You go together.”

“That old man. And what about Captain Kuchiki?”

"He probably won't be here for long."

"Oh, I'm not going. It sounds like a party for old people."

The End.

A little ending:

Right now Kuchiki-san still doesn't know that Renji has become the deputy squad leader :)
