A.N. Due to reviewers saying I should make this Oneshot chaptered, to please these people, I will. It'll only be 6 chapters I guess, I'm not going to make their relationship develop slowly, cause that would be stupid, they already love each other, Gin just forgot those feelings.
Disclaimer: I forgot to put the disclaimer on the first chapter so here you are, I don't own Bleach.
Chapter 2: Past
Matsumoto stared at him, 'Gin,' she thought repeatedly. It was really him. She knew he was reincarnated, she knew he wouldn't remember a thing, but at that moment she didn't give a damn. All she saw was him. He looked exactly the same, silver hair, wide smile, and those closed eyes. Before she knew it she felt tears run down her cheeks. She tried to blink them away, but it didn't work, she ended up crying into her hands instead.
Gin stared at Matsumoto, one moment she was okay and the next she broke down. For some odd reason he felt the need to comfort her, he didn't know her, Hell she could be a crazy stalker lady that he brought into his apartment. But something deep inside him, a strong feeling, told him to pull her into the hug and kiss all those tears away. He did just that. In a split second Gin grabbed Matsumoto's arm and pulled her into a hug, he lifted her chin and frowned when he saw the tear steaks that clashed with her other features.
Matsumoto gasped, "Gin, what are you-" Although she asked him this, she knew the answer already. He was comforting her, just like the old days, back in Rukongai. Matsumoto wanted to cry again, and she did just that. More tears escaped her eyes. She wanted to stop crying, but found she could not, this was too emotional for her. She stopped breathing when she felt something soft touch her cheek.
Lips.
His lips.
Gin was kissing away her tears.
Gin opened his eyes, and looked at her, "A tear-streaked face doesn't suit you," He took his free-hand(the one that wasn't holding her) and wiped the tears from her face.
Matsumoto sighed as she leaned against his chest, she breathed in his scent, 'God, he even smells the same, pine and cinnamon…' Matsumoto thought as she laid in his protective arms.
Gin couldn't believe what he was doing. Who was this girl, and why did she feel so damn familiar to him? He felt like he had known her all his life, but had only met her today. He continued to hold her as many thoughts ran through his head.
After what seemed like hours Matsumoto moved away from Gin and looked at his face, his eyes were opened. Those red eyes, that frightened but at the same time entranced her, she never thought she would see them again.
Silence passed the two before Gin spoke, "Who-Who are you?" Gin inquired.
Matsumoto smiled bitterly, of course he wouldn't remember her, he was reincarnated. It wasn't his fault he couldn't re call her. But nonetheless, it still hurt when he asked her though, "My name is Matsumoto Rangiku, and although you may not believe me, we've been friends for over 300 years." Matsumoto decided she should start out with something simple as that.
Hours past and Matsumoto explained to Gin about his past and everything else. She talked about how they met, how he gave her a birthday and other childhood memories. She also spoke about when he left to the Shinigami school, when she came there soon after, and how he was promoted to captain level. Matsumoto mentioned the problems that came as well, like Rukia, the ryoga, Aizen's so called death, his betrayal and many things afterward.
Gin nodded as he heard Matsumoto speak. All the things she spoke of, he had dreams about them, everything, and now that he thought about it, his dreams had focused mostly on a strawberry blonde girl, which he identified to be her now. "So, Matsumoto-san, I was a captain of a squad of Deathgods…"
"The 3rd Division, to be correct."
"Yeah…and I, with 2 other captains, Aizen and Tosen, betrayed this Soul Society, and sided ourselves with Hollows, am I right?" Gin asked, "Okay, then there was a war with Aizen and Soul Society and Soul Society won…Aizen was killed in the war and Tosen and I were captured?"
Matsumoto nodded.
"Then we were executed by this Master Yamamoto character?" Gin inquired once more, he wanted to get his facts straight.
Matsumoto hesitated for a moment before nodding once again, "Yeah, that's 'bout it."
Gin chuckled a bit, "Well that explains all the weird dreams I've been having lately."
Matsumoto stared strangely at Gin as he said those words to her, "What do you mean?"
"I've been having dreams about me, or my past life as you call it, a lot lately. The dream I have the most is when…I think it was you, blocked a-no-my sword with your own, right? Did something like that happen?"
Matsumoto cast her eyes down at the floor, it was the most interesting thing at the moment. When she blocked his sword all those years ago, it hurt her…her sword wasn't the only thing he cracked. Her heart cracked as well, "Yes it did, quite some time ago."
Gin noticed her sad expression and felt some pain inside his chest, there was a question that had been bugging him ever since he saw her, "Matsumoto-san-"
"Please, call me Rangiku."
"Okay, Rangiku, well, in my past were we just friends or were we more than that?" Gin inquired as he turned his gaze towards the floor, a slight pink tinting his cheeks.
Rangiku froze as he asked this question, what should she tell him. Should she tell him the truth, maybe it was too soon, "No, we were nothing more than friends." Rangiku answered. It hurt her to say that, it hurt the hell out of her, but it was too soon. Gin had to take in all the other information first.
"Oh…"
Matsumoto sighed as she poked at her food. In the human world she never had it before, so naturally she was hesitant.
"Oh c'mon Rangiku, try it," Gin said as he placed down his chopsticks.
"I've never tried it before so how do I know it won't make me sick?" Matsumoto said shaking her head.
Gin scoffed as he covered his face with one hand, "Because I made it and if the food I've been making gets people sick do you think I would eat it, much less give it someone else?" Gin pointed out.
Matsumoto sighed, "Fine, I'll try it." She took her chopsticks and picked up the little food item Gin made, she quickly popped it in her mouth and began chewing. 'Hey this is actually good! Who knew Gin could cook!'
"Do you like it?" Gin asked.
"Yeah, it's really good," Matsumoto took another piece and began eating.
Gin looked at her eat and smiled. It was a true smile.
"This is going to be quite a mess isn't it?" Yoruichi, now in her human form, asked looking back at a laid back Urahara. Her and Urahara were on an adjacent building, looking through the open window at Ichimaru and Rangiku.
Urahara held up his fan and smiled, "Of course it is, but it'll be fun to watch."
Yoruichi shook her head at Urahara's childish behavior, "Honestly you could've just told her, it would have been easier."
"Yes…" Urahara said, "But if I did then it wouldn't have any entertainment!"
Yoruichi sighed and covered her face with one hand, "You're an idiot, a damn idiot."
With those words the two former shinigami captains flashstepped off the building and back home.
