Bifurcated
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Kira once asked Gin why he picked him as his vice-captain. Gin answered simply, "Yer cute! Yer the cutest thing that ever cuted!" and proceeded to ruffle his hair, "Ya reminded me of a golden retriever puppy! And I wanted ya ta pet and cuddle and follow me around! Plus when it' a choice between ya and Hinamori-chan, I rather have ya! Rangiku can get awful jealous! She wouldn' tolerate another woman in my life... or is that me who' jealous and can' stand all the other men in 'er life... I can' tell no more. Anyway, yer cute!" Kira never figured out if his captain had been serious or not.
Kira never thought Matsumoto Rangiku had a drinking problem. She could stop when she wanted to and seemed to enjoy drinking, as oppose to drinking to drown her misery like he himself was prone to do. On the other hand, Kira couldn't help but notice that Rangiku never drank around Captain Ichimaru.
He asked her about it once, she replied, "Drinking is a social affair. Most of the time I am drinking with friends and it's fun and not lonely. Even when I am drinking by myself, its fun and not lonely! With Gin around, I am not lonely and he's tons of fun with or without sake!"
Kira wondered if even Rangiku realised how many times she had used the word 'lonely'.
When his captain left Seireitei, Kira felt as if he had been cut in half. When he saw the body of Hiyori get bifurcated by his captain's sword, Kira wondered if his fate was to be physically cut in half, just as he had been emotionally cut in half.
All said and done, Kira missed his captain. He wondered if his captain missed him or the girl he was trying desperately keep alive. He wanted to hope that his captain did miss them but his pessimism wouldn't allow such a feeling.
