Warning: GinxRuki and maybe a smudge of AizenxRukia. Gin is a little bit OOC. I don't hate Ran at all. But really she's the only one I can think of to put as Gin's luvah.

This is my first fanfic and it have a lot of Rukia pairings. Its kinda like a bunch of one shots, I just want to see like which pair I can write with, and which I can't. Like testing the water with your foot or something. So the story line might be a bit confusing/choppy/weird/awkward...etc. Since I'll be shifting from different perspectives and couples.


Rukia was only 15 when she enter Aizen's brothel as a courtesan trainee. Rukia has quickly progress in a quite alarming rate. She already attracted attention from a few clan leaders and noble heirs. Other courtesans hated Rukia and envied her, not only the fact that she attracts attention but she has also favored by their beloved Aizen-sama and was protected by Gin.

Right from the beginning Rukia was isolated by her peers, some even tried to sabotage her and even to the points of trying to kill her. But hatred toward Rukia died down when one of the courtesans tried to poison Rukia's food was caught by Gin, after a few days no one had heard from her ever again. No one had openly expressed his or her hates toward Rukia since.

Gin had always showed special care to Rukia, though she doesn't know why, at some point she thought it was Aizen's order to protect her. But confirmed that was not the case when she asked Aizen, and the man chuckled and patted her head gently, "Rukia, Gin do not take orders from me when it comes to anything personal, he only follow what I ask if it benefits him." 'Oh Great' Rukia thought that only confused her even more. 'What can he profit from always following me around with his creepy smile?' Apparently Rukia's face showed all of her emotion when her brows furrowed and her mouth opened in an ungraceful gape. Aizen can barely kept himself from laughing anymore when he let out a stifle laugh. Rukia's face dawn a deep red from embarrassment and anger, "Y-you, you're laughing at me!" Rukia huffed. And about to leapt and attacked him with tickling. Aizen surprisingly are weak when getting tickle, one time Rukia almost tickled into a coma. Of course Rukia is the only one know this fact because Aizen threatens to kill her himself if she tell anyone, not even Gin knows about Aizen's strange weakness.

'Ichimaru Gin' Rukia muses, 'what a strange man, I can't read him at all.' At first Rukia was on high alert toward the silver hair man but as time goes by Gin had always act gentle and always protected her. Rukia found herself starting to get more and more comfortable with the man. At times when he shows affection toward her such as hugging or carrying her, she felt strangely safe and guarded by him. But she still kept herself in check so she wouldn't be too dependent on him. 'Being dependent on others, shows one's weakness' Aizen had taught her.

Rukia sort of understand the silver fox-faced a little bit more when she observes him. She realized that he is one of the loneliest men she ever met. Sure, to everyone else Gin seems like a sociable guy, always making joke and speaks in his happy Osaka accent. To everyone else Gin has a best friend, Aizen Sosuke. To everyone else Gin has a trusted follower, Kira Izuru. To everyone else Gin has a lover, Matsumoto Rangiku. Not to Rukia, she always saw a wall around that man, keeping himself from getting close to those people and trusting them. Keeping his soul closed and never opens it for anyone to see and know about it. 'He learned from Sousuke-sama well.' She ponders sadly.

But one day Rukia happens to be lucky or maybe unlucky while she was absentmindedly exploring the brothel. She saw Gin making out with one of a newly promoted courtesan, who was which not Rangiku. Rukia was about to leave when she heard a faint calling of his name, "Gin."

Rukia turned and saw a heartbreaking Rangiku gasping and tears threaten to spill on her beautiful faced. Gin finally pushed the now dizzied and flushed courtesan away and looked at Rangiku, impassively. Rangiku ran up to grab his collar, "Gin, how do you explain this." She threw a dirty glared at the dazed girl. The girl quickly scramble away quickly, not wanting to be in between their fights.

"Now, now Ran-chan, ya scared her off." Gin didn't even look to check at the fleeing girl. He answers Rangiku's inquiry, "Ran-chan, ya know tha rule. Aizen doesn' allow relationships in th' brothel. And b'side, I was jus' playin' with cha, like I was playin' with tha' bitch just now."

Gin said in a serious tone without even betraying his menacing grin. Rangiku stared in shock and then a stream of tears streamed down her face and she slapped him in the face and ran toward the direction that the former girl ran off.

Rukia was observing the whole drama, she thought might as well watch since there aren't that many things to do anyway.

She watches as Gin sat down at a near by bench and buried his face in his palm, many would believe it as a poor imitation of a man in anguish. But Rukia knows better than that but decided to remain in hiding and wait till he leaves. But her present did not remain unnoticed. "Ya can come out now, Rukia."

'Damn. That man really is unpredictable.' Rukia would be lying if she said she saw it coming. It's as if he can feel her present, at the thought Rukia shuddered a bit. Just confirm her fear that this man is too familiar with her. But Rukia passively stared at the fake smile that somehow felt sad to her and walk toward the man. Before she realizes and surprises them both, she was standing in front of him. Since he was sitting down, she was now having a little bit of advantage against him in height.

Gin looked up at Rukia, opening his eye in a slit revealing to her his dangerous red orbs. Rukia almost gasp at that strange yet complement color of his orbs that matches the hidden side of him perfectly. May be that was why she feared him so, at their first meeting, as if he is choking and killing her with his presents alone. Once again the sad looking smile look upward toward her and she just want to swipe it away. "Did ya enjoy tha' lil' show I put on?"

Rukia subconsciously put her small cooled hand on to his cheek, which he leaned into wanting to feel her accepting touch. Rukia soften, "Why did you do that? Did Aizen make you? I can talk to him—" Gin interrupted her faintly, "Why would ya think Aizen-san have any thin' ta do with it."

Rukia looked down at him, "It's kind of obvious you set up that little make out session for Rangiku to witness. That's the path she usually goes to get her favorite sake everyday. You don't seem like the type to play around with girls. You had been with Rangiku for about four or five years now." Rukia stated knowingly. Gin listened quietly and looked up at her again. "Or maybe you're afraid that you will start to fall for her and afraid that you'll drop your guard in front her."

Rukia continued not realizing his hands was now wrapped around her waist bringing her closer to him, holding on to her as if his life was depending on her. Rukia rested her hand on his head and smooth his soft silver locks gently when he nuzzled his face in her chest. "Ya right, Rukia, but its not her tha' I'm afraid of, its ya that scares me." Gin murmured in her soft chest and inhaled her icy intoxicating jasmine smell.

He wants to stay like this, in her arm guarded and protected from the cruel world by her small arms and body. Her touch was frightening him because it makes him feel things that he never felt before, compassion, carefree, warm *he felt like chuckling since she was as cold as ice*, safe, the desire to protect her and kill for her, and the scariest emotion of all love. But he can't confess that to her he calculated; not yet at least, she belonged to everyone and not him. He'll just have to watch and protect her from far away. Wait until the day he will have kill everyone that stands in his way and take her away with him.

Gin hugged her tight one more time and reluctantly pulls away, put back on his mask that she'll always able to read. "Well, Rukia-chan, thanks for comforting my brokin' heart." He taps her nose playfully, "Hope, ya can comfort me some more." Gin leaned in a brush his lips lightly on her cheek and let out a soft chuckle seeing her cheeks flushed. "Rukia-chan, ya so cute."

"Betcha hav'nt eaten anything yet, I'll treat ya for comforting me. Unless ya want some other way of payment." He chimed playfully.

"Baka." Rukia pouted angrily and walked away. "I'm hungry." She declared.

Gin let out another laugh and ran up behind her and picks her up bridal style and ran toward the kitchen. "Yah, p-put me down y-you fox-faced stalker." Rukia thrashed violently in his arm but gave up in defeat quickly when the said fox-faced only hug her closer and continue walking toward his destination.


So I put my own version of how Rukia was the only one that can see the twisted side of Gin. And Gin have a dark yet loving obssession with Rukia. Sighs. What a beautiful couple they are. But I will hate Kubo if he killed off Gin. I wished Gin would betrayed Aizen at the end. Then GinRuki can be together. hehe. *half kidding*
