The One Who Saved Them All

A/N: I know you all want GinxRan and I really want to write it but I wanted to get everyone else out of the way first and that has been done in this chapter. So 2 more chapters to go and GinxRan will start...well it won't be major at first but each chapter after the next 2 will have more and more so relax. Remember: GinxRan IS THE MAIN COUPLE BUT GIN ISN'T THRERE YET! HE NEEDS TO ARRIVE BEFORE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! Once Gin comes back in the story then there you go. I take this medecin once a week and I took it today so I feel kind of shitty but I'll try to have a GinxRan chapter up tonight, if not tomorrow.

Thanks to: linniko, Merciless Ruby, J.F.L.Rangik-sama, MakiMouse, and, BlackWidow01 for reviewing!

Disclamer: If I owned Bleach then Aizen would be gooood and dead.

Thanks to girl talk, all of Seireitei knew what Kisuke said that night and a little captin was off in search of advice from Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky-Who-Loves-A-Cat.

Hitsugaya walked towards the Bureau of Technological Development in hopes of finding him.

He walked to a door that he's always noticed but was never in use. On the door was a very old faded nameplate that read:

'Urahara Kisuke: Taicho of the Squad 12 and President of the Bureau of Technological Development'.

Inside he heard an explosion. "MEEP!" a voice yelled. Hitsugaya knocked. "Come in!" He opened the door and a cloud of smoke greeted him. "Ah Hitsugaya-taicho! Welcome. Sorry about the smoke…" Kisuke's cloths and face where blackened from what looked like multiple explosions. "Please, sit." There was a little table with some chairs. Hitsugaya took a seat and Kisuke sat across from him. "Can I offer you some tea?"

"Well it blow up?" Kisuke laughed.

"I would hope not!" Hitsugaya accepted and after a few minutes both had a steaming cup of tea in front of them. "Now what do I owe the pleasure? Sorry but I can't talk long. As you can see, I'm trying to make something that could help us…trying…" he sighed. Clearly it wasn't going too well. "I needed a break anyways…" he said more to himself as he pushed his hat down more.

"What are you inventing?" That snapped Kisuke out of his mood and into his happy self. He took out his fan and spread it over his face in his normal manner and laughed. "It's not something…bad, is it?" He laughed harder and closed his fan with a 'snap'.

"No! If this works it's going to be super helpful! But I'm not gonna tell ya what it is!"

"Is it gonna be ready in time?"

"I work well under pressure."

"That's good." They say in silence, sipping their tea. Kisuke glanced at Hitsugaya from the shadows of his hat.

"You're troubled." Hitsugaya almost chocked on his tea. "Talk to me. I'm more helpful then I look!" The young captain was ringing his hands together and looked at the floor.

"I need…advice…love advice…"

"Oh?!"

"I heard what you did last night and…how do you confess love to someone?!" Kisuke was slightly shocked. The ruler of ice wanted to know how to tell someone he loved them!?

"Well…" Kisuke leaned back in his chair. "You need to find the words in your heart and just…say them. Timing is also kind of important…I suppose. But not so important that you shouldn't do it…I'm not sure myself. I'm not an expert on love. Just listen to what your heart tells you and do what it says." Hitsugaya nodded.

"Thanks for the tea. Good luck on whatever it is your working on." Kisuke smiled.

"Thanks. Good luck yourself with Hinamori-chan."

"SHUT UP!" The boy slammed the door behind him and he could hear Kisuke laughing behind the door.

Hinamori was doing some paperwork when there was knock on the door. "Come in!" she called.

"Shiro-chan!" she said happily. A vain popped out of his head.

"I told you! It's Hitsugaya-taicho, Bed-Wetter Momo!" Hinamori just smiled.

"What can I do for you, Hitsugaya-taicho?"

"Take a walk with me?" She nodded.

---

They where walking for a little bit and neither of them said a word.

"Are…are you ok?" Hitsugaya asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well…Aizen and everything…6 days…" Hinamori smiled.

"Thanks for asking. I'll be ok."

"I'm glad…"

"What about Matsumoto-san?" Hitsugaya sighed.

"I found her out cold drunk this morning. She can't stand to hear the words 'Ichimaru' or 'Gin' and if she does, she drinks herself into a coma."

"I feel bad for her…her best friend…I donno what I would do if that was you in Ichimaru-taicho's spot and I in Matsumoto-san's." Hitsugaya looked at her.

"Like that would ever happen. I wouldn't be stupid enough to hurt you like that."

"…why don't you hate me?" Hitsugaya looked at her with his pricing eyes.

"Hate…you?"

"I tried to kill you!"

"Big deal. I could never hate you."

"But…"

"My love for you is strong enough not to care the slightest bit." The second the words left his mouth his hands shot up and covered it.

'So much for going to Urahara-san for confession advice!'

"Shiro…chan?"

"Um…ug…aah…OMG I FORGOT I HAVE A LOT OF PAPERWORK! GOTTA GO CAUSE MATSUMOTO WON'T DO IT! SEE YA!"

Just then Kisuke jumped down from the roof, looking like a good deal more explosions had occurred since the young captain left.

"COME BACK COWARD/MAN-CHILD THING AND CONFESS YOUR LOVE OR I'LL MAKE YOU, DAMMIT!!" Kisuke yelled. Silence… "Oh good afternoon Hinamori-fukutaicho!"

"What was Shiro…what's going on? And why do you look like someone let a bomb off in front of you?"

---

Once again, all of Seireitei found out and Hitsugaya was too embarrassed to face Hinamori so he stayed in his room and did his paperwork from behind locked doors.

"He's a coward," Matsumoto said to Renji, Kira, Ichigo, and Ruika, who where in a little field, drinking.

"I don't agree," Kira said, taking a sip of sake.

"Me too," Ruika said.

"Rangiku-san's right," Renji said.

"Yeah. It's not hard telling someone you love them," Ichigo agreed with Renji.

"He's a little kid!" Kira snapped.

"He's over 100 and you know it!" Renji argued.

"Did you just say admitting love is EASY?!" Ruika asked Ichigo.

"Yeah, I don't see the big deal," he responded, poring himself more sake.

"Aren't you underage?" Matsumoto asked. Ichigo glared at her.

"Well Mr. Big Shot, have you ever told anyone you loved them?" Ruika asked.

"No," he responded.

"HA!"

"That's just cause I never had anyone to tell."

"Then how do you know?"

"Simple. Ruika, I love you. There! Simple!" Ruika rolled her eyes.

"Stop kidding."

"I'm not. I love you."

"Yeah as a friend, you big goof."

"No. Not as a friend!" Renji chocked on his sake. Kira blushed a shade of red that rivaled Renji's hair. And Matsumoto…

"THAT IS SO CUTE!!!" she said happily. Ruika smirked.

"You're drunk," she told Ichigo.

"Am not. I have a high tolerance for alcohol and I haven't even had that much."

"YOU'RE UNDERAGE! How do you know how much tolerance you have?!" Matsumoto gawked.

"Prove it!" Ruika challenged Ichigo and he never turned down a challenge. He leaned forward and kissed her.

"I'm in my happy place…HAPPY PLACE!" Renji cried. Kira had passed out and Matsumoto was all excited. But then Ruika and Ichigo kinda…um…started making out. Renji was sobbing. "KUCHIKI-TAICHO!!!!!!!!"

---

"Ishida-kun! Sado-kun! Did you hear about Kurosaki-kun and Ruika-chan? It's sooo cute! Maybe we can double with them, Ishida-kun!" Inoue said.

"It's about time," Ishida said as he pushed his glasses up but blushed at the idea of going on a double date. Chad nodded.

"What do you mean?"

"It's clear that Kurosaki has had a crush on Kuchiki for a while." Just then Bayakuya walked by and heard what Ishida said. "Kuchiki-taicho! Um…it's…"

"I don't want to hear it," he said and walked away but everyone could tell that behind his cool composer, he was flipping out on the inside.
