Rangiku opens her eyes and looks around the room shes in, she knows she isn't farmilla with it and it's defiantly not the room she has been sharing with Shuhei, she can smell the scent of sweet tea.
She tries to sit up but her wounds are hurting her too much for her to move so she lies still.
"You better not move much Ran-chan you'll open up your stitches and i worked so hard to stick ya back up" a voice she knew very well and it didn't belong to Shuhei, then she remembers she heard the same voice before she passed out.
"Gin?" she shouted and turned her head to where the voice had came from, and to her astonishment was in fact Gin sitting there with the same old grin he always wore.
He waves at her "hey Ran-chan" he says though it seemed like he was holding something back in his voice.
"I I must be dreaming your...dead, i saw you die with my own eyes* tears start to fall down her face " you can't be alive you just can't".
He quickly kneels beside her "it is me and i no it's confusing for you right now, i'm sorry Ran-chan i never wanted to hurt you, you have to believe me when i say that" he tells her with his grin gone and sadness in his voice.
She looks at him with sympathetic eyes "i believe you Gin" she tries to stay looking at him but her wounds are hurting her so much.
He notices her pain and checks her wounds "you need to relax Ran-chan" he tell her with a stern voice, she nods and relaxes.
While she's lying on her back she asks him "how is it that your still alive?". He pauses then replies "i don't no, i woke up here, i was bandaged up and they where medicine and supplies left on the table, i have no idea who it was".
"Why didn't you come back to the soul society after you where healed?" she asks "because you thought i was dead, i thought it was best if i left you that way"he pauses "i thought you'd be better with out me" he says with sadness in his voice.
"Better with out you?" she asks " are you that stupid Gin? i couldn't bear it, i missed you so much, i though you where dead!" tears start to fall down her cheeks
"Ran-chan please don't cry, i never wanted to hurt you, i just thought it was best, i was gonna leave you alone, i could tell i had hurt you so much, but when i sensed you where in danger i couldn't risk you getting hurt or killed"
She lies there thinking "i believe you Gin, i just wish none of this had ever happened, i missed you so much"."i'm here now Ran-chan and ill never leave you again, i promise" he reply's holding her hand, then he gently kisses it.
"now please Ran-chan get some rest, i'll still be here when you wake up" he says with his grin back on his face.
