As you woke up, you had forgotten your troubles for a few seconds, but the reality rained down on your parade of forgetfullness, and you knew that you couldn't face him. Not today, anyways. You were just going to go to the real world, kill a few hollows, and think everything over.
Grabbing a new, clean robe and putting it on, you stpped quietly out the door so nobody would notice you left, and just as you were rounding the corner, thinking that you forsure would get away, who do you see but...?
Renji, your vice-captain (me: hah hah you were wrong, betcha thought it was Gin).
"Hello, miss Yuna. Where do you think you're going?"
"Um, I don't really know, I just need to get away from... HERE."
"Ah. One of those days. Okay... well... have fun doing... whatever. Um.. wherever you're going."
"Thank you, vice-captain." you said, looking at your feet, and the you scooted around him and took off into a run, because you were all flash-stepped out for that day.
Having your hell butterfly open a portal into the real world, you stepped through then closed it. Looking around, you didn't know where you were, but it had a lot of spiritual pressure in it. Lots of people with spiritual powers. Feeling a hollow nearby, you went over to it. It was fairly wimpy and you beat it quickly.
Running around, you decided to waste time by knocking over things because people couldn't see you and you loved their reactions. After a while you felt another hollow, and went to it. This was a HUGE fucking hollow. You didn't know if you could beat it, but you could try. Slashing every which way, you just couldn't kill it. When you were done for, decided that you would just probably die right then and there because of blood loss and exaustion, a familiar figure came and killed the hollow (me: yeah, I know... isn't this SO DANG ORIGINAL???? I mean, I've NEVER seen it used before) and then looked over at you. "Well, if it isn't Yuna herself?" Gin asked, and then you passed out, right into Gin's arms.
------------------------
Your eyelids were stuck together when you tried to open them, but you opened them slowly and they opened. You saw that you were in the 4th company's healing building. Turning, you saw Hanatarou (me: yes I know he was with Ichigo at this time, so just be quiet) working on a wound in your side.
"Oh, miss Yuna! I see you're awake. That's good. Just let me finish up this bandage and you'll be good as new. I'm surprised anyone left Soul Society during this uproar. Those ryoka are pretty tough, I hear. I overheard that one of them beat Zaraki-taichou. Zaraki-taichou! Say, why DID you leave, anyways? Oh, an--"
"You talk too much." you, said, smiling weakly. "Um, sorry, 3rd-seat Yuna, ma'am." Your smile widened.
"It's just Yuna, okay?" you said jokingly, your smile crinkling your eyes.
"Er, okay... Yuna." Hanatarou said, blsuhing and getting up. "Stay here for awhile and rest." he said, smiling and then leaving out the door.
He was nice. I hope he treats my wounds again. you thought. You closed your eyes, hoping for sleep, but no suck luck. You opened you eyes when you heard Gin say
"Why are ya ignoring me?". You had known he was there for quite a while, but you haden't talked to him, nor him to you. "Don't ya like me? I thought we were freinds? And you left before breakfast."
"Ichimaru-taichou, I'm sorry, but that was too akward a situation for me to have stayed within the same world as you, and then even through my struggle to stay away from you, you find me anyways and help me in my time of distress. Why? What is the bloodthirsty 3rd seat of another company to you? What is an unlovable and unloving girl whom you just met to you?" you spat, hoping to give him the cold shoulder. It didn't work.
He opened his eyes and stopped smiling when you said this. "What ya are ta me is an important place is my heart, and I want it ta stay that way. Do ya know how long it's been since I've even felt somewhat like this? Since never. I don't even know what the feelin' is. It's just.. there. But it's warm and I like it."
You sat up and threw your legs over the bed. You stood up and so did Gin. You looked up into his still-opened eyes and you said, "You know what? The last time I had ths feeling was when I was a little girl in rukongai and then that bitch Momo took it away from me. I will never forgive her for taking it away."
"But she didn't take it away, did she...?" Gin asked, his eyes closing. He brought up his hand and he ran it through your hair. You closed your eyes and smiled, enjoying the feeling. "No." you whispered, "She didn't take it away forever. Just for a really long time." you leaned in close to him and he hugged you tight. You looked up at him and then you got up on your tip-toes and kissed him, long and hard.
You broke the kiss. "Uummm..." you barely managed. You were so embaressed. But you wanted to do it again. A lot. Apparently so did Gin. Because he swooped back in for another shot. Ywere kind of suprised at first, but then you kissed back, slowly. Gin wrapped one arm around your waist to pull you in more.
This is what you thought you would never do, kiss somebody. Maybe... love somebody. Or, at least, never do this again. You just noticed that the first kiss you just shared with Gin was your FIRST kiss. You haden't even kissed Toushirou when you loved him, when you were younger. Because you knew, somehow, that he would have rejected you. Even before Momo had ruined it.
Breaking for breath, you looked up into Gin's opened eyes. You smiled very brightly. "Gin..." you said, but he cut you off by kissing you agin, and you welcomed it. Loving this, but being kind of uncomfortable, because this WAS your first kiss, and all, you broke it and Gin's arm slipped off from your waist.
"Gin..." you said, again.
"Yeah?" Gin said, without his twangy accent.
"Why... why did you do that?" you asked gently.
"Because... of something I'm not sure of right now."
"Oh, me, too." you smiled and leaned your head against his chest, and he held you close. Then he laid his head on top of yours and you stayed like that for a long while.
Randomly, after a little while, you two heard a screeching from somebody. Unembracing, you two saw that two of the ryoka, a blue-haired one with glasses and another girl with huge boobs and orange hair were skidding back, running as fast as they could. Then you peered around the corner and saw them maul two shinigami and steal their clothing.
You didn't feel in a fighting mood, and you heard they were just trying to get back Rukia, who was your really good freind (me: even if I think Rukia is a hoe), so you let them go.
Gin was comming up behind you, and he looked at them. Thankful for a new conversation piece, you said, "Just let them go, Gin. They aren't doing any harm, really." me: please forgive me that this is all a bit out of order... I'm just to lazy to put it in the right order :D)
"Yuna," he said, back with his accent, "It's our job." he tryed to get past you, but you jumped in his way.
"Please, Gin!" pleading, you looked up at him. God, he was so tall! Just shy of Renji, practically the tallest shinigami in all of soul society. Zaraki-taichou was taller. And Komamura-taichou (7th company) was obviously taller, as well.
Well, back to thinking about the current situation, but still having your mind pulled away by details of Gin's face, you said again, "Please! Rukia is my dear freiend. I will not help them but please do not hurt them. I'm sure Rukia means just as much to them as she does to me. Please." you felt tears comming to your eyes.
"Alright." Gin said. "No need to cry." and with that, he wiped your eyes with his shirt sleeve.
"Th-thank you" you said, smiling, but still crying, because you really thought he was going to hurt them.
You thought I am turning into such a mushball. I haven't cried since Momo, and now look, I am crying for the untouched enemy. What a waste.
"What're ya crying for the enemy for, anyways?" Gin asked, and you looked away, back towards them, and when you looked back, the one with glasses looked back and saw you... and Gin.
"Shit!" you barely heard him yell, and then the orage haired one looked over at him and asked him something. He told her. She looked. She saw. Then they both ran faster. Both of your riatsu's were pretty high, but still... why did they look so scared, yet... angry? You decided to just wonder. Then you answered Gin's question.
"Because Rukia is a true freind of mine and probably a true freind of thiers, as well. I don't want to hurt rukia's friends."
"Ah. So that's it." he muttered something about something under his breath, and you thought you caught a hint of 'Aizen' and 'dealing with it later'.
"What?" you asked, really puzzled now. glancing back towards the two, you saw Mayuri-taichou following them. Great. You'd rather be faced up against yourself any day. Because you looked better, for one, and also, because you weren't as powerful. Well, you just had to hope that Mayuri couldn't find them. Hah. Like that would happen. Well, you just let him go.
"Oh, nothing." Gin said, slyly.
"Um, okay." you said.
"Hey..." Gin said "Wanna come over to my house?"
"Yes, Ichimaru, that'd be great." you said with a smile on your face.
"Gin"
"Gin. I would love to come over."
"Good. Well, let's get on our way."
"Yes." you said, following him the opposite way from the ryoka and Mayuri's, whom now you could feel that the glasses boy was fighting with Mayuri, path, back to Gin's home.
When you walked in the door, you took a deep breath, getting used to the smell of his home. You had a thought that you'll probably be there a lot, anyway.
You sat on a chair, and Gin walked into the kitchen.
"Would ya like anything, Miss Yuna?" he hollered out of the door.
"Um... not really..." you said, and then Gin said,
"Alrighty! breakfast it is." and you could practically hear his smile getting bigger.
