Toshiro's P.O.V

So many years went by, so many things were always clouding my mind. One thing that never escaped my mind was your face. It kept haunting me, reappearing in my mind. Why is it, that your face still lingers in my memory? It poured the day I decided to leave. Leave and never return. Coward, I was cowardly. So cowardly that I ran away from this nagging feeling for you. After so many years, the feeling never went away. How have you been?, What are you doing?, Have you forgotten me...that question penetrated me. Have you? I didn't want you too, I never wanted to let you go, but then, why did I have the nerve to leave? I had decided...I'd go back and come face to face with you, apologize and hope.

I shunpo'd my way back to a place I had decided never to set foot on again. Coincidently, it was raining the day I decided to return to you. Ever so slowly I had come nearer, I sensed a familiar aura. I stopped momentarily and gazed at the surroundings. My eyes widen in surprise, they're from a far was a figure, a figure I knew all to well. You gazed upward extending your hand to the rain. Were you crying? Or were those tears simply from the rain. From this distance it wasn't noticeable. The expression you made killed me, ate at me with guilt. Depression, anxious, hoping for something. A miracle? My eye softened, you were in a trance as I approached closer. You didn't sense me. I didn't quite know what to do. I decided best to speak.

"Matsumoto"

Your slowly opened your eyes and cautiously turned my way. Shock, that was the expression. Even in such close range, those tears were still a mystery. You started to walk toward me, hesitating ever step you took. You extended your hand and pressed it against my cheek. I knew what was on your mind. I had to reassure you.

"It's really me Matsumoto."

I place my hand on her cheek, so she would realize I was no dream, not a figment of her imagination. It caught me by surprise when you suddenly pulled me into a hug. You were still judging this, you were still afraid this was all a dream. I wrapped my hands around you, never wanting to let go of you, but I did. I pulled away and gave you a smile. I had to say what was on my mind that instant.

"I came back for you."

Her eye beamed of happiness, but I also new you had many questions you wanted answered. Your worry made you not speak, when would I get to hear your lovely voice? Still, I could sense you were afraid I'd suddenly go away, so I spoke yet again.

"I'm staying here for good."

Your eyes showed nothing but happiness. I had finally reassured you that I'd never be crazy enough to leave you again. In that instant, I cupped your face and pressed my lips to yours. It caught you by surprise and you caught me by surprise when you kissed back. I was filled with joy. In your kiss you had told me how much you missed me, how lonely you were and how much you loved me. I wanted more of you, I had nibbled your bottom lip to allow me access to more of you. You agreed, not even thinking twice about it. I slipped my tongue and played with your own.

The lack of air was the only thing that kept from continuing the kiss. You flashed me a smile and I couldn't help but smile at you too, but still I felt awful for having left you alone so many years.

"I'm sorry."

I still felt the guilt of leaving you without saying anything at all. You pulled me into a kiss to my surprise and for the first time in years I heard your beautiful voice once more.

"There's nothing you need to apologize for Toshiro."

The way you had just used my first name made me glad. If it was any other person I would have immediately corrected them, but it was you. I would never mind if my name came from your soothing voice.

"Thank you Rangiku."

It felt so good saying your name. I pulled you to yet another passionate kiss. I knew we were both happy. After being separated for so many years we were once again together...reunited.

I finally got down to doing Toshiro's POV. I had finally decided to write out his perspective after getting inspiration. Hopefully, you enjoyed it and are not so disappointed. Yes, he just had to get away from everything. He was afraid of letting these feeling surface.
