Disclaimer: I have not been given the permission to own Bleach. (but I own this plot.)

A/N: Hiii all! I'm finally posting again after like... Forever!! Sorry for not being active... I doubt I will be active after this post as well.. but I'll post the first chapter soon if the prologue starts out well I finally got the idea of how to write the Gin and Rangiku in college fic I've been ACHING to write after ages… haha (thank starxdestiny)

We'll both (starxdestiny and I) be working on this story, so I hope it'll turn out well, seeing my Yachiru fic turned out better than I expected. This story may not be that great now, but I promise it WILL get better! The Prologue has nothing to do with school or college so, college fic lovers, wait a little longer will ya xD (since it starts next chapter)

please, Enjoy!

Full Summary: Gin and Rangiku started off together, until Gin started hanging out with a group of gangsters who didn't approve of their relationship, and managed to break them up in one of the worst ways ever. Years later, he finds her again, still with the gang and known for his bad reputation, to his dismay, she was with another man, and could not remember him clearly.

Will Rangiku regain her memories that she had sealed away, and will Gin change for the better?

Prologue

The girl stepped into the modest apartment. She had moved in here ever since she had gotten into a fight with her parents.

"Gin?"

"Hm?"

"Why do you keep hanging out with them..?"

"Who?"

"Gin, you know who I'm referring to…"

"Saa…"

She frowned. "That's not a proper answer!"

"Why d'ya want ta know?"

"Because we shouldn't hide things from each other!"

"Oh?" he said, chuckling as he shoved a sandwich into his bag and zipped it. "I don't remember anythin' like tha' Ran-chan."

"GIN! Tell me! They're gangsters with one of the worst reputations you know?!"

"I'm well aware o' tha'."

The boy walked towards the door, opening it

"Wait!" she yelled, catching his arm.

Gin stopped, his grin wide on his face. His silver hair hung loose to the side.

"Where are you going? Why don't you talk to me much anymore?" the desperation in her voice was apparent.

His smile stayed put, saying nothing.

"Where has your love for me gone? Do you… do you not …love me anymore?"

The famous grin of his faltered for a second, he turned around as he felt the wave of sadness rush through her. He bent down and pulled her tightly against his chest, almost hesitating to do so.

"Ran-chan.. I love ya. Haven't I said so b'fore?" His grin back on his face.

She melted instantly in his arms, and her grip on his arm loosened letting him release her and turn around, slinging his bag over his shoulder and walking out the door, not turning back once.

She daren't say goodbye. She never attempted to do so, afraid that he wouldn't come back one day, seeing he always left her without a word and returning eventually. Even so, she was always worried and scared.

'Why…? Why do I feel so powerless against him? Just where are you going… Gin?'

&333&

She waited patiently for Gin that evening, finishing off her schoolwork and trying to correct Gin's terrible essay. It was already seven, and he hadn't returned.

The dinner was set out on the table, as she got up, about to put it back in the fridge when the door bell rang. She ran towards the door immediately.

"Gin?" there was no reply.

"Do you not have your key?"

She sighed, debating on whether to open the door or not to. Her hand eventually made it's way to the door knob, turning it clockwise. The lock clicked and she swung the door open, finding Gin's entire gang standing in front of her.

The leader, a woman with long black hair bandaged in several ways and huge assets, almost spilling out of her pitch black attire which consisted of a black cloak and a set of revealing clothes underneath grinned down at her.

"Yo, Miss Matsumoto Rangiku-chan. I believe we've come fer you."

Her eyes widened the size of saucers, as she tried to slam the door shut, only to find it slammed back open at great speed by a tanned woman with blonde hair, who merely needed to use much energy.

"Domo, Halibel."

Halibel nodded back in response, her eyes held little emotion and her mouth couldn't be seen, as it was covered by her tall black collar.

"Grimmjow!" The leader barked "tie her up! She'll sell at a good price!"

"Tsche." A blue haired tough looking guy walked towards the strawberry blonde, who backed away, seeing the rope in his hand.

"G-gin…" she pleaded.

"Hora Hora! Woman," He grinned, "Yer prince ain't here to save you!"

"Grimmjow."

The stern voice belonging to the leader interrupted him. Scowling he turned towards her opening his mouth and said,

"Eh? What now, Kuukaku?"

"Might as well finish her off. We can't have that Ichimaru Gin not workin' for us. As long as shes alive, ah… he won't do anything. Kill her Halibel, won't you?"

Grimmjow sighed, wound his rope up, and lashed it against Rangiku, hitting her to the ground, before standing back at his position.

"Dagger, Ganju."

"H-hai!! Nee-chan!" and handed the dagger to his sister Kuukaku, with both hands.

She looked at Ganju, clearly amused.

"Don't give it to me Baka! To Halibel!"

He scampered towards the dark skinned woman, handing her the dagger. Before Halibel could take a single step, a flash of black and silver tackled her down, pinning her to the ground and knocking her out swiftly.

"….g-gin..?.." she breathed.

"What are you doing here? Gin?" growled Kuukaku in a threatening tone.

"Yare yare, Kuukaku, don't ya lay a finger on her." His smile evident on his face.

Kuukaku replied with how they had discussed this and did not approve of their relationship. Her excuse was that him being her best fighter had to concentrate. Gin, eyed Kuukaku warily as he ordered Rangiku out the back door, and not to come back.

She didn't do as told, and just whispered his name in shock. Gin started getting frustrated as he raised his voice. "GET OUT NOW! RUN AWAY!!"

"Just who said I'd let her escape?"

"No one in particular, Boss." He responded.

Kuukaku smirked and drew out her dagger. "I claim this fight. The rest, go get her."

"I said, you won't, lay a finger ON HER!! GET OUT THIS INSTANT RANGIKU AND DON'T COME BACK!!" He shouted, turning towards her, eyelids flashing open, revealing emerald green eyes.

This time, she obeyed without question as Gin held them off, grabbing her stuff and rushed out the back door, tears streaming down her face.

Never in her life had Gin used this tone with her, nor had he shown emotion in his eyes which was filled with sadness and worry.

She continued running, ignoring everything she saw or heard, including the cries of pain from Gin. She finally came to a halt, in a remote park quite far away, and buried her face in her hands.

Gin had protected her, and risked his life for her, but she told herself that it was his fault. That he had chosen the gang over her, and that this was the only way she could overcome the pain and sorrowness.

"I pray for your safety, Gin… Sayonara." (sayonara: goodbye; farewell)

She uttered a goodbye to him for the first time in her life, and with that, pushed all the memories that included him to the back of her mind, sealing them over the years.

A/N: I'm awfully sorry again for the super late post haha. I hope you liked it! I have to admit it was pretty hard to write, since squeezing all this information into a small paragraph is impossible.. well to me its impossible xD. I thought it kinda had too much dialogue or something. I'l try my best to improve!
A College chapter will be up next, with Rangiku and perhaps the worst person she could ever be paired with!

Please review (and post suggestions if you have any) if you liked it, it'll certaintly give me more motivation to continue writing! If this one goes sucessfully, I'll post the second chapter up!! If not, you'll have to wait till I come back from being on Hiatus! evil ;)
