Hi this is my first FanFic to be posted here and please bare in mind it's the first story I have written in like 7 years. Rated K (I think)
In no way do I own Bleach or any of the characters... that privilege belongs to Tite Kubo. I only wrote this story.
This story goes out to TheDrunkenWerewolf for your birthday (I know I don't know you but I have seen on a few fics that your birthday is coming up. So happy birthday) AiGin story just for you. (Apologies for the length)
Sun was setting over the Serietei as Gin shunpo'd over to Sokyoku Hill, where he felt two reiatsu's clash in a heated battle. One was clearly Sosuke but he barely recognized the other. He thought it may be the ryoka he encountered at the Western Gate. The kid with the orange hair; but he was stronger now. Almost overpowering. 'There is no way a simple ryoka child could beat a Shinigami Captain of the Gotei 13. Could he?'
A sudden pain coursing through his chest forced him to stop. He hadn't been attacked, that much he knew. This pain was channelled from Sosuke. Like feeling a loved ones pain. He had to get to Sosuke's side and fast. So much has been left unsaid for decades and Sosuke's reiatsu was rapidly fading.
Gin got to the battlefield just in time to see Ichigo struggling against his mask. The mask of a hollow. 'That's why he seemed stronger, the mask was controlling his whole being.'
He looked over and saw the other ryoka standing by. He had heard that the girl had healed Jidanbo after he had slashed the giants' arm. Perhaps she could heal Aizen. 'No, I can't ask her to do that. Besides it's not in my nature to beg. But this is Sosuke, the love of my life (even if he didnt know it yet)'
He had to make a decision. Sosuke was fading fast and he couldnt feel anyone from Squad 4 coming. Either lose his loved one or ask the ryoka girl to help. 'Don't die Sosuke. I can't live without you.'
As Gin walked over to the intruders of the Soul Society, Orihime could see the pain in his face. Although she was with her friends, she showed no hesitation as she ran to help. Gin was thankful he didn't have to ask. He bowed his head towards the girl and went to Sosukes' side. After Orihime had used her power to reject Sosukes injuries, Gin opened his eyes and thanked her.
