Chapter 6
Rangiku's body shook violently with fear as Aizen's unsheathed sword glinted menacingly in the dim lighting of the room she was confined to. Aizen was grinning manically as he raised his sword high above his head, poised to strike. She wished Gin was here, her Gin with his silky lilac hair, his gorgeous eyes that he hid from everyone but her, his soft and passionate kisses that always left her lightheaded and wanting more. "Why?" she asked quietly, not expecting an answer "because Gin needs to be punished, and killing you would be the cruellest way of doing so" he said in a bored voice as though the answer was obviously clear, he looked down at her pathetic state and grinned again "I'm bored, it's time for you to die now " he said patronisingly. Rangiku scrunched her face up even tighter with fear, fresh tears springing free and falling down her face like a small, salty waterfall. She heard the sharp metal slicing through the air and braced herself for the wave of white hot agony that would explode throughout her body in a matter of seconds, her body shook harder and her breathing became shallow and laboured. The sword was getting closer to her skin, ready to pierce it sharply and painfully. - But it never came, in fact the only thing Rangiku felt was the blast of cold air that swept past her- and then she smelt it, his glorious scent of lavender caressed her nose, enticing her to unwillingly open her eyes. "Gin" she whispered breathlessly, he was there in front of her, his hand holding the tip of Aizen's sword a millimetre away from her skin, he looked up to her, guilt and bloodlust reflecting from his eyes.
She would have liked to have said she knew Gin was coming back for her or that she wanted him to come for her- but it would be a lie! She never knew if he was coming back- she couldn't trust him to always be there and even if he was, she didn't wan't him to sacrifice his life for her. She wanted to die for her pride and dignity and him dying in her place would smash both as well as her already fragile heat. She couldn't ignore the sobs that wracked her entire body as the fear of what could have been and what still could be sunk in. She hid behind her long curtain of hair, too ashamed to let him see her crying so pathetically. She felt a smooth, long hand reach up to cup her chin, forcing her to look at him is eyes radiated concern, they seemed to ask her if she was okay without him having to say anything, she nodded stiffly at him in response to his silent question. A loud cough to the right side of the room brought the two lovers back to reality, they turned to look at him, unforgiving hatred written clearly on their faces. "Well Gin, I knew you would turn up eventually, but her death is inevitable, you have brought this upon her when you decided to disobey me" Aizen looked past Gin to glower mancingly Rangiku "isn't that right". "Over my dead body" Gin spat spitefully at Aizen, his glowing blue orbs burning into him menacingly as he pulled himself in front of Rangiku, shielding her with his own body . he Lord of Las Noches smiled wickedly as pure joy filled his eyes at Gin's remark "so be it" he whispered right into Gin's ear, sending shivers of fear through his body.
Rangiku's heart stopped suddenly at Aizen's comment, she couldn't and wouldn't let Gin die for her- he didn't deserve to. She sniffled into her already dirty shihakusho as Aizen left the room, locking the heavy metal door behind him with a sly little wave to her. As soon as Aizen was out of ear range Gin rushed over to her, checking her all over for any sign of damage, all he could find were a few bruises and a small gash on her shoulder. He pulled her into him tightly and embraced her once again, thanking God that she was still alive. He stroked her long hair and kissed her head soothingly. She pulled her head up to look at him whilst he continued to stroke her hair, "Gin, get out of here while you can, you won't die for me" her voice was determined but wavered nonetheless, he looked down at her, a sly smile crossing his face as he answered "I have no plans to die any time soon" before he lay them both down and wrapped his arms around her small waist where he closed his eyes instantly "No-one does" Rangiku replied as a silent sob wracked her body.
