Chapter 2: Meet your Fujiaticho Vira
The next morning there was no more meetings. So Rangiku was finally going to meet her fujiaticho, she let's out a large sigh and took a look around the room. She didn't want to change the furniture since it reminded her of those old times. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and in came a girl with long brown hair. She wore her uniform so it showed her shoulder.
"Your .."Rangiku said.
"Jubantai Fujiaticho. It's honoured to meet the Matsumoto Rangiku, that Giniro talks about so much"Vira said kindly.
Ginro? And wait a second he's been talking about me while I was gone? Vira saw the shocked look on my face. "Don't worry it's nothing bad...in fact there really nice things".
"YUP! I would Neva talk bad about ya Ran-chan!"a voice from behind them said. Rangiku jumped seeing the White hair taicho behind her. "Gosh don't do that, you scared me".
"Sowiiie"Gin said.
Rangiku let's out a large sigh and then a frown appears on her face. "..you got me talking to you"
"See told ya I'm good and Vi-chan. I can't make it tonight"Gin said.
"Eh..that's not like you, your usually there"Vira said.
"I know but"Gin said turning to look at me. "I waana spend time with Ran-chan today!"
"Who says I'm going to hang out with you?"Rangiku snapped. Does he think I've forgiven him already.
"But Ran-chan.."Gin said.
"..I haven't forgiven you yet, so don't think you can just talk to me like this"Rangiku said and with that she left the two of them alone.
Gin was aware that Vira was full of questions, but he didn't have time to listen to them as he left the tenth division barracks. Rangiku.., gomen.. Dam it! I really should of told her, but I thought I was protecting her.
Vira couldn't believe all this that just happened. Gin has never refused to hang out with her and it was making her feel uneasy. "I want to hang out with Ran-chan today"is what he said. He wants to spend a whole day with my new taicho when they only just met?
Vira shakes her head. No I'm sure they've known each other for some time now. There's only one person who would know, she immediately flash stepped to the first squad 1 barracks.
"Vira? What brings you here"Hallibell the fujiaticho of squad 1 said.
"I request a meeting with the soitaicho right now"Vira said.
Toushiro didn't even need to turn around as Tia led Vira inside. "What brings you here Vira fujiaticho? A problem with your new position"
"No sir everything is fine. But my new taicho and Gin there.."
Toushiro let's out a large sigh, as he glanced down the balcony that overlooked seretei. He could spot Rangikus strawberry blonde hair sobbing underneath a sakura tree. As for the squad 3 taicho he was glancing down at her on one of the rooftops. "They argued right? I knew it would happen..but still".
"I hope you do not mind me asking but what's there relationship?"Vira asked.
Toushiro still didn't turn to look at her. In fact he glanced up at the blue sky.
"There childhood friends..no scratch that there in love with each other. But they just don't realise it yet".
Vira had never heard Toushiro so serious before. She had never known him to talk about love as a serious matter. But what shocked her the most was the fact they were childhood friends.
"I'm going to tell you a dark tale. The winter war a century ago. The war that killed some of my dearest friends. I'll only say this once so don't forget it"Toushiro said. Vira nodded.
"A long time ago, there was this one man Sosuke Aizen. Fujiaticho of the 5th division. At that time Hirako Shinji was the taicho of the gobantai squad. Aizen had wanted to gain more power so he searched for others who were willing to follow him. Around that time Rangiku and Gin had been living with each other in rukongai . Aizen had found Gin and promised him power, saying he could be able to protect Rangiku. Luckily Yamamoto soitaicho knew something was up, so beforehand he had sent Ukiatde Juushiro to warn Gin.
Gin was well aware and ready for him. Ukiatde told me he had such a look of determination to protect Rangiku. Though in order to pretend that he was with Aizen. He had to murder the 3rd seat of squad 5. In that time Aizen had already strikes and you know what happened around 2 centuries ago right?"Toushiro said.
"Yes. The one where the gotei 13 became corrupt because some taichos and
fujiatichos. Were transformed in to hollows using the hogyoku"Vira said. She knew this story very well, since in order to pass the entrance exam. You would have to know this.
"The taichos and fujiatichos which were transformed to hollow were.
5th squad taicho: Hirako Shinji
3rd squad Taicho: Rose
7th squad taicho : Love
8th squad Fujiaticho: Yadomura Lisa
9th squad taicho: Mugurmame Kensei
9th squad fujiaticho: Mashiro Kuna
12th squad fujiaticho Sarugaki Hiyori
Kidou corps fujiaticho : Ushoeda Hacchigen
Urhara Kisuke, created the object the hogokyoku. But he sealed it almost the second he created it afraid of it's power. Though he didn't know much, Gin had known since he was a kid about the dangers. That's why since then he had always been a honour member of the gotei 13. Ukiatde Juushiro and Kyouruka Shunusi had him always go on missions to test his skills. Some that were life threatening that's why he always left Rangiku. When that time came that he had to show his betrayal.. Rangiku broke..she broke apart. Really she did. Even though she was always smiling. As her taicho back then I knew"Toushiro said.
"Taicho? You use to be the jubanti taicho?"Vira said. Toushiro nodded.
"That's right..back in those days. She was such a fool. Always drinking to try and forget him. Though you could see in her eyes, that she was filled with sadness. She always regretted never stopping him. I heard once they met again he stabbed her. Gin even till the end, he wanted to stop aizen and in the end. The one who brought down the master of evil who had deceived us all. It wasn't the substitute shinigami no it was Gin and Rangiku themselves. They brought him down together.
But..soon after that. Head Soitaicho yamamaoto sent his final mission. It was for Rangiku to live in the living world for a century and come back later on. With those last words Yamamoto genryusai shigekuni died. Gin got his old position back and we all became close friends with him. However he had always still kept a distance from others"Toushiro said. "You've noticed it too right? Being the one he hangs around a lot".
...
Those words sank on to her mind and as she took a walk around the seretei. She couldn't stop thinking about it, Gin distance? He was the one who joined me, Kaeda and Reikiyu. So why all of a sudden..why is it all of a sudden like this? When I came here I thought I would never find love.
When Kaeda always spoke about it. I thought she was nuts. I had always said it was insane but now. When I'm with Gin I always feel so happy inside. Is that normal? She stretches out her long arms. "Ah DAM WHAT A MESS!"
Vira stops walking as she sees her strawberry blonde taicho. "Uh taicho?
"Oh it's just you Vira-San. Gomen about our rushed meeting earlier on..you want to talk right now? To get to know each other since we couldn't do it earlier"Rangiku said. Vira nodded and sat down on the soft green grass beside couldn't help but stare at her taicho. Tall blonde hair with a pink streak, she is so beautiful. Vira could never imagine her crying.
"Um is there something on my face?"Rangiku said.
"Err..no..your just really beautiful"Vira said. Rangiku gave her a warm hearted smile. "Why arigatou..you remind me of myself back then".
"Yourself?"Vira said. Rangiku nodded. "when we first met. I saw that look in your eyes. Your confused about what love really is ne? And is wondering if it's actually worth it".
Sugoi..she just guessed it like that.
"Yes"Vira whispered quietly. "I'm in love with Giniro.."
"I see. Well at first I was so confused, wandering down many corridors. Wandering through many places. Always on my own, know one was there to take care of me. I reached a place that seemed like the middle of know where. The trees were all dead, the place itself was lifeless..I closed my eyes thinking it was over. Till someone helped me up.. This is what he said Eat you can faint from exhaustion. Then you must have it too the power. When we first met I knew straight away I had found someone who was like me confused about there life and what emotions were. I told him yes and I suppose you have it too. I didn't need to ask, because he told me his name.
I told him mine. Since then it had always been us 2 against the adults of this cruel world. But one day we just slowly fell apart, he would always go out and leave me then come back. The first time he had gone, I thought he had really left me. Once we joined the academy we came further and further apart. When it came to becoming a shinigami we hardly spoke one word to each other. He was such a talent, promoted straight away to squad 5 fujiaticho. At first I was only the 5th seat, but I built up through the ranks and became fujiaticho.
I was really pleased then and ran to tell Gin, but when I arrived in his office. Izru was there saying he was the fujiaticho. I couldn't believe it, for a minute I was worried he got demoted. However I didn't need to worry as he came in that night to my room and explained everything. I told him to stay with me and I knew he did..but every time I woke up in the morning. He was gone. When he did his fake betrayl I didn't believe it. Thinking that he would climb through my window again that night, saying that it was a mistake. I waited and waited but he never came..he never came. I had waited for so long and yet..."Rangiku paused. Vira glanced up at her taicho and was her eyes widens. As she saw crystal tears fall from her eyes.
"Taicho.."
"and yet he never told me anything. He never told me, he would always leave me and come back. I'm so confused. He would always leave me that way"Rangiku said. Vira didn't know what to do to comfort her taicho she whispered the words "It was ok"
Soon she fell asleep.
"You can come out now. I know your there Ginro"Vira said. Gin emerges from the shadows. "I had no idea she was hurt for so long, I only wanted to protect her"
"I know. But look how confused you left her"Vira said.
"..I love her"Gin said. A pain appears in her heart and she forced a smile "Then you should tell her"
"Gomensai Vi-chan"Gin said and grabbed Rangiku from me.
I guess this is it huh?
