Author's note:

My username for LJ is loveisnosin, actually I got this name from GinxRan's story and a fan fic I was working on. Also actually I got some ideas of the story from a fan fic named "No need for Anger"...so some of the plot may not be original, just to like you guys know...

Love is not a sin 5

Gin sits on the couch of the apartment; he has rent for his stay here; he is waiting for Matsumoto to come, he just knows she will be here; she has always followed him, ever since they were children. Gin knows her better ironically he knows her better than she knows him, ever they did grew up together, due to the fact, they have lived with one another for hundred of years, Matsumoto can feel his weakest retisu anywhere. It was the same for him, he can pick up her lowered retisu anywhere, including now.

Matsumoto slips out of her gigai; she draws her zanpa-tou, getting ready to fight with the Arrancar before her, she has no idea where this big brute came from but she is determine to bring this brute down. Matsumoto charges at the Arrancar, the Arrancar grins at her nasty, crimson blood spills the alley and Matsumoto collapses onto the floor, with her stomach slash open. The Arrancar picks her up by her neck, it then asks,

"Now, how should I kill you?" tightening its grip on her neck, Matsumoto starts to get choke on her breath.

Matsumoto thinking to her, So this is how am I going to die…before I even get to see him, to ask him why he is doing so…how she yearns to hear his voice again before she dies,

"Ikoros, Shinsou," it was Gin's voice, was she dreaming. She sees an extended blade stuck out from the face of the Arrancar, it drops her to the floor as the blade pulls back to it owner, while the Arrancar dusted away, Gin jogs up to her, without his gigai. Gin picks her up, Matsumoto reaches out to touch his face,

"…Gin…you came…" she mutters,

"Say no more, Rangiku," Gin replies.

He scoops her up into his arms; he presses Matsumoto close to him, he then flash steps back to his apartment, as he leave the scene, Hitsugaya together with Rukia, Renji, Ikkaku, Yumichika and Ichigo, to seeing Gin fleeing,

"Damn that Ichimaru Gin," Hitsugaya growled. Rukia looks around and she commented,

"Taichou, seems like a battle had happened here," she looks at the blood on the floor,

"And someone got hurt," Ichigo adds. Hitsugaya who is the only Taichou there, he says,

"Let's hope those does not belong to Matsumoto or I will kill Ichimaru, myself," Rukia then pauses, she turns to Ichigo,

"Ichigo, isn't our new classmate goes with the same name as Ichimaru as well?" she asks. Ichigo thinks for a while,

"Yes but isn't his name, Ichimaru Kenchi?" he asks, Rukia turns to Hitsugaya,

"Hitsugaya Taichou?" she asks waiting for his opinion.

Hitsugaya looks at Rukia slightly,

"It could be Ichimaru himself but I am not quite sure, was he acting very strange in school?" Hitsugaya asks, Ichigo and Rukia think back,

"Not that I know of but he keeps smiling at us, when he sees us, which really reminds of that fox-face bastard," Ichigo says.

Gin lays Matsumoto on the couch gently, his brows lock in the middle of his head, he is worry sick about Matsumoto, he mutters to her,

"Hang on, I have some medical kits…I stole from yo buntai, it may help," Gin gets up and is about to look for the kit. Matsumoto reaches out to grab his hand,

"Gin, please don't leave me," she mutters, Gin stops and looks at her softly, kneels next to the couch and kisses her fingers,

"I won't leave you, I won't let you let go of my hand ever again," he whispers.

Matsumoto smiles at him bitterly, soon her eye lids become too heavy for her to open them anymore, she closes her eyes and drifts off, Gin let's go of her hand and goes look for the kit, when he found it. He tears open her shinigami robes and he applies the medical kit onto the wound, he tries to close the wound the best he can, he was never trained in medical but he do know some basic healing techniques. As the wound on her stomach gradually close up, Gin finally relaxes slightly, looking at her bare skin, it was not his first time seeing her unclothed.

When they were kids, they bathed together in the same river, it was when Matsumoto was starting to grow, and then he started avoiding bathing with her and stays his distance from her, for he does not wish to hurt her. When the wound finally closes, Gin then leans back to rest, he turns his attention to her hand, he then reaches to take her hand,

"I won't let you let go of my hand ever, you have my word," he mutters.
