Author's note: It's been forever, HASN'T IT? But I did come back, so I'm guessing all of you are angry at me, well I can understand since I disappeared like after February, seriously, these past months, have been, LE harsh on me since my computer broke down. I've been so lazy towards this writing business. I sit on my computer, write a whole paragraph, yawn, get on my bed and take a nap and continue on with life. D: I feel like a terrible person!

Good news: I'm going to update, finish all of my stories, and make a new one and finish that up HOPEFULLY before I start a new school year.

Bad news: Whether I make that new story or not, I probably won't be writing ever again, when I finish these up, these will be the last pieces of writing I will ever contribute, I'm just getting busy. High school will definitely be a challenge, so I'll have to take care of that. I'm sorry.

Thank you that reviewed before I took my leave and still reviewed me while I was on leave. It wasn't really a hiatus, just a simple leave. So without any more talking like the idiot I am here's your chapter.

I would really appreciate if you would read the author's note on the bottom, it's really important!

Sweat trickled down her face and she lazily wiped it away and drank the tea that Gin had offered her while they were done with training. It was one in the afternoon, they had taken only two breaks during their training it was breakfast and lunch. After that, they immediately got into battle. Gin had proposed they do this everyday and when she asked why he just gave her a small smile and gave the answer, 'Even the best warriors have to train still or else they'll get rusty won't they?'

She sheathed Sode No Shirayuki and looked at Gin who was eating a dried persimmon, she had seen him eat the sweets plenty of times since when she visited the third division there was plenty of persimmon trees.

"You like those persimmons don't you Gin?" Rukia asked as she sipped more of her green tea that Ayame and Miyuki had brought.

"My favorite, you want one?" Gin asked as he held one out, Rukia choked back a little bit, she absolutely hated them. She liked regular persimmons, but dried ones made her feel like she was dying.

A/N: I hate those things. My mom loves them though. They're okay but I get sick of it after a while.

"They look appetizing, but no thank you." Rukia declined politely and Gin shrugged before he took a big bite out of it and kept on eating the preserved sweet.

"You look sad, what's your problem?" Gin asked and Rukia looked at him and swallowed the rest of her tea, automatically pouring herself a new cup, looking at Gin's cup as she did. She had poured it for both of them. The tea had darkened into a darker green; she didn't even have to touch it to tell that it had gone cold.

"It's none of your business." Rukia bit back angrily, she hated thinking about him. He was the reason why she left.

"Mhm, sure, it sounds a lot like love." Gin sang and Rukia threw his cold cup of tea at his head, almost hitting him if he had not dodged. He turned to her and frowned. "Jeez, someone's angry." He muttered and Rukia glared at him.

"I don't want to talk about it. It's not like I ask you if wanted to leave Rangiku." Rukia said as she took a sip of her now warm tea. He looked up at the ceiling and smiled.

Silence ensued them for five minutes, he opened his mouth.

"Of course I didn't want to leave her." Gin replied and Rukia almost dropped her cup of tea and looked at him.

"I know, it sounds stupid, but if I wanted to leave her, she would understand, I would leave her always. Coming and going, maybe this time she's happy that I finally left and never came back. I don't have to let her worry about me now." Gin answered and Rukia put down her cup of tea and looked at her lap.

"Can Aizen hear us now?" Rukia asked quietly and Gin chuckled.

"He can't in this room, why do you think I take you in here? He can't see us either. The man is efficient, just not in this certain training room because nothing interesting happens in here." Rukia looked at him and felt her expression soften.

"Did you love Rangiku?" Rukia asked and Gin smiled as he chuckled.

"That's what Aizen used against me to get me to join forces with him." Gin replied and Rukia who had recently picked up her tea had let it go and it crashed all over the floor. Ceramic pieces scatter and liquid staining her pure white cloth. Gin smiled gently and was helping her pick up the pieces in the next second as Rukia used her jacket to wipe up the tea.

"Aizen knew that this would happen. A few pieces of advice Rukia, he knew that he could use Hitsugaya against you. That's why he went to the Soul Society in the first place. He said if I didn't go, he would kill Rangiku. He would have done the same to Hitsugaya if you hadn't left Rukia. Keep that in mind." Gin whispered as Rukia widened her eyes and kept on mopping.

Author's note: Pretty short, but the next one will be long D: I promise. I'm such a douche. I was planning on making it short anyways. So pelt your anger at me. I can take it. NOT D: But do take this poll!

They're singers

They're vampires

They are from different areas of land, like still keeping the captain and lieutenant and army kind of base idea. But like, Hitsugaya needs to join an alliance with the Kuchiki family, or squad six and there he meets Rukia and they start to fall in love even though she tried to kill him in the beginning of the story and she dislikes him.

I would really appreciate if you did actually read this and help me decide. If not, I'm just going to decide for myself, I have all of the stories planned out for the three plots, but yeah…I need your help.
