Chapter 8

She finally had something to help take her mind off of, No she wasn't going to say his name! She finally had something to help take her mind off of that traitor. She was going to figure out what has Kuchiki-taicho, the epitome of composure, all riled up.

Smiling for the first time, she walked to the bathroom and prepared a bath.

She began stripping her clothes off slowly, taking her time. Finally naked, she turned to step into her bath, ready to relax, when she felt it.

A very familiar spiritual pressure.

She began trembling, the reason behind it she didn't know. She waited, anticipated. Maybe she was going crazy.

"Ran-chan?" His traitorous voice reached her, sending chills down her back.

She couldn't quite see him yet, the water she had poured was really hot and there was a mist around her bathroom.

"Go away." She said, voice quivering.

"Ran-chan, please." He said quietly, pleading.

She remained still.

The mist began to dissipate, she could see bits and pieces. He was wearing the uniform of a traitor. And she stood gloriously naked.

Their eyes locked, and they stared at each other. For the first time, in a long time, his slits where open. He didn't know how much time he could risk and didn't want to miss seeing anything.

Their eyes spoke all the words and feelings they wanted to say but no one dare to speak.

Slowly, Rangiku was beginning to loosed herself control. There he was. The man that brought her many tears. The man who risked everything to come back to give her a note, to see her.

"Gin…" His name fell from her lips, almost like a prayer.

Gin closed the space that was between them and claimed her lips passionately. Rangiku, overwhelmed by emotions kissed him back with an equal passion. Tears streaming down her face.

But it was over too quick.

Gin knew they would feel his spiritual pressure if he wasn't careful. He had to leave. He pulled away from the kiss and felt around for incoming spiritual pressure.

He could sense three different spiritual pressures approaching in great speed.

"I have to go." He said stepping away.

"Gin.." She repeated.

He grabbed her and kissed her again, then held her in his arms one more time. He turned to leave and wasn't shocked to be stared down by a certain taicho.

"Gin.." She whispered, her fingers touching her lips.

Gin walked past the taicho and wasn't too surprised to have been able to pass through him.

"Ichimaru. Don't come here ever again." Kuchiki threatened the traitor

Gin turned to look at Rangiku again, "Later Ran-chan." He said sadly. And with that he was gone.

Rangiku turned to the taicho.

"Why?" She whispered, still in a daze.

"You would have been taken prisoner for harboring a fugitive." Byakuya said coldly, avoiding at all costs staring at her; Rangiku was still naked.

"Oh," She managed and got in her bath, but she just sat there.

They remained in silence for a couple of minutes and then Byakuya turned to leave her, he was invading her privacy and she probably which to be alone.

"No." She said a little panicked. "I don't wish to be alone for fear of falling apart." She said truthfully.

Normal Rangiku would have laughed off the whole situation, but normal Rangiku wasn't here and this man had already seen her at her most vulnerable. There was nothing to hide. Plus, something deep inside of her, the part of her that knew a lot about men knew he would stay if she asked.

He turned and sat on the floor next to her bath but faced away from her.

Rangiku didn't cry anymore, she just sat there, eyes glazed. Her mind was somewhere else.

Byakuya felt her began to play with a strand of his hair, but he didn't comment or make to move. He just let her.

They both tried to wrap their minds over their emotions and their thoughts.

So they sat, in silence, together.


I was soo sad when I made Gin leave! But i just let these chapters flow as the idea came to me..now thinking back there could have been a potential lemon . eehh this will just make poor Rangiku confused! :( Im evil... :'(
