A few weeks past since Rangiku returned back to the soul society, each day she thought about what happened, Is Gin alive? Was it a dream? Had she wished him alive so much that she didn't know reality from a fantasy?
Rangiku was making her way towards her captains office, as she gets near to his office she sees Shuhei waiting outside.
"Good morning lieutenant Matsumoto, how are you feeling today?" Shuhei asked her as if nothing had happened, she looked at him for a few seconds before answering him, she was wondering what he was doing in her squad barracks more than anything but instead of her questioning him she just answered "i'm fine thanks, what about yourself?".
He didn't answer her just smirked and walked past, which was very strange behaviour for him but she couldn't understand what was wrong with him, and honestly she was affraid to ask him incase it was to do with her, she shook her head and casually walked into the office.
Behind the desk was her short captain with an unpleased look on his face, like aways trying to look over the stack of paperwork left on his desk that she was supposed to do "your late again Matsumoto" he stated with annoiance in his voice, he bearly greeted her with hello or anything polite, she just smiled and acted like her usually bubbly self even though all she was thinking of was getting back to the world of the living.
He stands "you have a meeting in 20 minutes" she nods and leaves the office dragging her feet towards the meeting,she walks past the other squads while she makes her way to the meeting hall next to squad 1, all the time she was thinking about Gin and how much she misses him after almost 20 minutes she gets to the meeting, as she walks in the room she sees Shuhei is already there, though he does not achnolege her he just stares at Izuru listening to him ramble on about how his new captain Rose irritates him.
She stands next to Momo "hey Rangiku" the happy little lieutenant says with a smile on her face as aways "hey Momo, have any idea what this meeting is about?" Rangiku asks her, but before she can answer Nanao starts the meeting.
"thank you everyone for turning up on such short notice" she states, before she says anything else Rangikus mind has already started to wonder, she looks down at Momo and thinks to herself how can momo move on so well after everything that has happened to her, how is it a girl as young and vulnerable as Momo can manage when I can't.
"so is that okay with you Matsumoto?" Nanao asks her, as Rangiku has no idea what she was saying she looks puzzeled "huh? sorry i wasn't listening" she replied mockingly, a tick mark appears on the side of Nanaos forehead "i said are you okay going to the world of the living with Shuhei?" she asks with an irritated low tone.
That wasn't what Rangiku wanted to hear, her and him alone together in the world of the living again, she made a brave face and noded, she glanced over at Shuhei who rolled his eyes unpleased, she sees Izuru saying something to Shuhei but she can't make it out but what ever it was made Shuhei smile a mischeivous smile that made Rangiku uneasy, though she knew Shuhei wouldn't hurt her.
Then it hit her, she was going to be going to the world of the living, she could search for Gin while she is there...
