"Rangiku, in the end. I couldn't get back what was taken from you. ahh.. I knew it, I'm glad I said sorry."
Rangiku stared at the sky, crying out for him, so soon after the fight. Seeing him die was a horrible thing for her since he was the one she had loved, more than anyone else in the world. It was best that she move on and stop crying about it.
That's what he would have wanted, no more tears, not an ounce of sadness left in her, to bog her down from being who she, with Gin's help, had turned out to be.
She then suddenly saw him with the show falling, and she reached her arm out, slowly extending her hand as she say a memory of him with his back turned to her. She couldn't help but let the tears flow as she thought about the part of him that she had formerly hated, but now loved. He had left her with nothing, like always, nothing but the memory of him. He must have known that that would have held her back from moving on with her life and getting over him. He was always so much smarter and attuned to what was best for her, more than anyone else she knew, could have ever hoped to be. She sniffed and wiped her tears away at the sound of Hitsugaya-Taichou's footsteps as he completed the day's training.
Taichou looked up at her with his usual look "Matsumoto, what are you doing here?"
She stood upright quickly and looked back at him "I was just making sure that you didn't do anything too serious with your training and didn't wear yourself out too much, sir!" She did a salute before grinning, like she usually did around him, even if it was fake and she was sobbing on the inside. She would keep up with this facade of happiness until she was done grieving.
"Ah, well we should head back now, since I'm done, Rangiku."
"Hai, Taichou"
They walked away from the place together, Rangiku's heart longing to see Gin again. Even though her mind knew it could never happen.
