The first swuads barraccs came into view as I varefully aproached the main doors that led into the court-yard of the barrac. I sighed and requested entrence.
"And on what buisness do you have here Vice-Captain Matsumoto?" The head vice-captain asked as he opend the door to the main barrac. his silver hair gave him a weak apearence.
"I have a letter for the head captain. Adressed to him, I was asked to give him this persnaly." I sortly waved the note in fear that he might catch Gins smell off of it and say that it wasnt allowed. He just simply looked at me and nodded, he looked at the upper balcony that Yamoto usualy worked at. he nooded and led me throught the massave Building and finaly arrived at the door that lead to the large aria that the captain called his office.
"Captain, 10th luttn, has a Letter adressed to you," "Allowed, Matsumoto wat is this?"
He asked as he opend the letter. He lookead up at his Ltn and dismissed him. requesting that he told m captain that I was with him. "Rangiku, Gin Ichimaru is a trator and I will read no such thing from that man," He was showing a bit of anger, I sighed.
"Sr, please, Just read the note, he explaines his motives, He does this not out of loyalty to Souske Aizen, But to the factor that he made a vow the day we met, and its to kill Aizen, plz just read it." I begged him. He sighed and unfolded he paper, He read it quickly and sighed allot. I was afraid to know what the man that sat infront of me, His office was a large room that held nothing but a Desk, many papers, a chair and his cane, He nodded and looked up at me. "Matsumoto, I have read and listend to the best that you and he had givven me. And I do find him still of abandnment, But if he does return and explains what happend to me and to you, he can resume his spot in the 13 court guard squads, and If I see fit he will loose his Captain responsabilites, But AS this moment he is still the captain. BUT there is one term to this, You cannot tell anyone about this, Am I clear?" He responded to the information he had just recieved. I nodded and bowed He dismeiised me and I returned as quicly as I could to my Barrac, I needed to see the ring, I hand gotten to wear it yet, But now that I had this perfict reason to, I would...In hopes that one day he and I could live together as husband and wife, for even tho Gin had left us all, I still loved him, and stll wanted to merry him, for he was still my life. "Matsumoto, what ary you doing out? I said only tour barracs and squad 4's barracs, Are you not listining to me?" My young captain yelled at me.
"Captain, plz, I was with the Head cpatain and comander. I had to delier something to him," I responded quickly. Toushiro sihed and rolled his eyes, "This is no time t be playing around Ringiku. Have you finished the reports yet?"
"Yes sr, Ill bring them to Shuuhei now captain." I sain and continued running twords my own barrac. The sun was still high and shining right on my face. After I recieved the report and got to suuhei It was to late for lunch. When I arrived at suuhei he was sitting around with his frineds.
"Hisagi!" I shouted his name and waved as he looked up, A smille apeared on his face, He waved back and waved me over, He was sitting next to kira who was passed out with his head on his boyfriends shoulder. Renji sat next to Iba who had Isane resting her head on his shoulder, He had his hand on her own. Yoou could hear Ikkaku Madarame and Yachiru running around in the back of the building. "Hey, Look whos shown up! Never thought that youd come tonight, Howd you convince Toushiro Hitsugaya?"
"Well I cant actualy saty, I had to give Shuuhei This," I waved the papers next to my head.
"Ugh, I hate thoes, Yes well listen, Just leave them on my desk in my room, or Kiras, But plz, Con=me sit and drink with us."
"You know That I cant," I said, I was really wanting a drink right about now. "Well, I supose just one wouldnt hurt," I gave in and sat down next to Renji, He grinned and smacked me on the back.
"So glad you could join us, Its no fun with out you of caurse."
"Now renji, If im not here, you can always expect Kira there to have some fun, But hes pushed himself more than he should because he wants to prove that just because Gins gone he capeable of keeing the squad undercontrole," I sighed, poor Kira, hes tryed so hard lately. and I do wish that hed calm down allot sometimes,
"He doess push himself, your right," Iba agreed, Shuuhei nodded and softly kissed is head, The blonde hai slightly moved, Kira let a small groan escae his lips.
"Shuuhie? i dont feel good," he moaned. "Alright, comon, Lets get you home, let get to bed." He said and pulle him up, Kira fell Lightly into the elder mans arms, "kira, are you alright?" Shuuhei asked quickly as he supported him, Kira sighed, "Can we go to your room tonight? Its much closer, And I dont wanna walk to far im to tired," Kira wisperd. "Ill look after your squad Kira," Iba said softly with concern for Kira. we all knew that Kira and I were going to be two of the three most effected from the betrale of the three captains. Kira because he now has to care for a squad all by himself, Me because I lost My husband and Momo, Because she lost everything her life ment to her.
"Alright, now kira, Lets go, Do you want me to carry you?" I asked, He groaned and passed out again. "Shit," Suuhei mumbled and lifted his blonde lover, and left the shoppe.
Kira was upstett the next day, but we all said that he had no reason to be, he also was only able to do so much before he passed out from exsaustion and still kicked himself over the entire fact that he had slept throught the entire evning and a good portion of yesterdays afternon. Shuuhei had said: "Kira, Listen. Just because you lost your captain, you dont have to go and try to impress everyone, you do need to sleep and have fun every now and than, and he also had a boyfriend he had to bee with and spend time with." You could easly tell that Shuuhei was concerned about the younger ltn, the younger man who also was the one who matterd the most in his life. The both of them were still farely young and had quite a bit to learn when it came to love and the comitment that you had to give. Sadly tho there wasnt anyone who could teach them the lofe storys, it was stuck to them learning alone on there own standerds. Gin had left and so had Kaname. Sajin had learned to take the fact that HIS own lover had left him and had no regrets. Sajin and Hisagi's relationship had become grater than it was ever when the captain was around. Captain Ukitake Juushiro invited Kira over to the Shoppe, for some reason he wanted to talk with Kira, Kira agreed and left shortly after speaking with Shuunsui and I. Ukitake had spoken to Shuunsui and I about the factor that Kira was taking on to much at such a short time frame, He's even picked up taking on the paperwork that Gin would of compleeted. The day with Just shuunsui was short, It quickly passed.
Months and months passed, we soon got a new 3rd captain, but that filed as quickly as ever, He ended up betraying us aswell and Egnighting him self aflame...That was a sad day For kira...Again. soon Gin and the others would atack the World of the living and fail, GIn sadly was murderd by Aizen Luckly now Aizen is kept in the 8th layer of the special aria used for like mad mad criminals. He is held in the lowest, darkest, un healthy, aria, and the one that no one EVER comes out of...He deserved it tho, mainly after all that he had done, and he thought he could get away with it. the day after the fighting was over was the hardest day ever, this is what happend:
I wasnt able to sleep, For my heart was to heavy. My friends Kira and Shuuhei had come to my room to check up and make sure that I was still ok...I was curled up into a tight ball with the coat that he normaly would wear, when I had returned to the Barracs, I had told the squad that I was not to been botherd unless my Husband was alive again, or my captain was dieing. When Kira and Shuuhei hurd about that they decided that they would change that and come bother me.
"Matsumoto, what are you doing? your not dressed and its noon." Kira softly nuged me with the tip of his foot.
"Go away, I dont wanna talk to anyone today, I just wanna lay here with his Coat." I mumbled,
"To bad, its time to rise and shine."
"No," I argued with them. "Im not moving from this spot," I argued some more, I felt One of the two men push there hands against my back and pull me up. "Let me go damnit, I just wanna go to sleep, I havnt been able to sleep all night, Lemme down before I murder you." I growled. and nearly punshed Shuuhei in the head, He denied my wish and carried me over twords the door, "Shuuhei Hisagi! Lemme down damnit!" I yelled in is ear. "Lnt, Put matsumoto down on her matt, She has been relieved of her duties untill the end of the week, shell be able to remain here, but she also must uunderstand that I won't be required to pay her." My captain said as he stood in the door.
"I just need today off sr, Il be fine tomorrow, plz let me have the day to myself, Ill make everything up tomorrow, Ill ever work late to make up the work that I missed to day."
"Rangiku, dont push yoursellf," I sighed and sat up on the floor.
"Captain Hitsugaya, I want to work right now, thats the only thing that'll help me keep my mind off of Gin," I protested against My bestfrends wishes.
"Matsumoto, you may return to morrow, BUT rember, I WILL not go easy becuse you lost your Husband, I will use the same force, Its whats expected from you."
"Yes, I know, and it is whats expected form a person of my stature." I nodded and siged..."Captain, may we leave me allone now, Im going to try to sleep, Im soo tired, I just want-" I wasnt able to finish the request before I passed out from Exaustion. When I finaly awoke I found his Coat Covering me. the smell of the man that once occupied this position was nolonger there, Just a normal smell of the barrac that it sat in. I missed his warm smell.
Several years later.
The day was short and filled with my slumber. I rember nothing much, all I rember was that I had been left alone for the day, When I woke the next morning there was A letter on the floor next to me. I sighed and lifted the light paper. As it sat in my hands it felt like a thousand pounds, Even tho it was a simple paper. The black text, on the white paper, Jumped out at me like a thousand guns pointing at my face. The letters and words formed this note:
"Matsumoto, Things here in hueco mundo are rough, and cold, I hope that Soon I will be able to kill Souske, I hope that we will soon beable to be together again. I want to see your face and I want to be able to look at you every morning again, Rangiku, Souske and Kaname have taken there autority and rudeness to a new level, I hope That sajins ok and not all depressed. Kaname has learned to turn his depression and sadness into hatred twords one of the new men that we controle. He is rude, and compleetely...well a bastard to this man, I hope that hell learn that he doesnt have to be an ass to every one. Hes an ass to not only him, but now me and at times his own friends. I hope that we soon can see eachoter soon again, I want to be next to you, I want to feel your lips against my own, Matsumoto, I love you and miss you allot. I love you so much, but I must go now, Souske is calling me and Kaname, He's requesting that we speak to the new men that are now what are known as Espada. I love you.
-Gin 3
I sighed and looked at the paper that rested in my hands. The sun was just setting and it was starting to cool ouside of the small room that I sat in. Kira threw the doors open and Glared down at me. "Get, up, We have to go to see someone, he needs you and I," Kira said and pulled me twords the doors. He draged me twords the large doors of the 6th Division. The flours were starting to wilt in the Courtyard.
"Kira, let me go, I can walk you know, I relise Im not emotionaly stable but I am able to walk, I can still hold my own weight." I hissed and yanked my arm out of his grasp.
He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Hey! Captain Kuchiki! I brought Ltn Matsumoto!" The Blonde called for the elder man. I groaned and looked up. The captain sat infront of us on the platform that led directly to the main hall. "Matsumoto, I want you to help me confort my Dear Ltn," the captain sighed. His black hair was blowing in the soft wind. The smell of the flowers that were in bloom were strong...yet peacefull. I knew that Renji was in a rough mood lately. His reistu was full of sorrow and hate. I missed my Gin and I missed the man that I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. "Ill help. Because he helped me, And It only for him," I said quickly, I sighed and looked at Kira who looked at Wambiskue. I wanted to lift the tension, But I knew there was no way that I was able to do that. The Catain sighed and looked at me. I wanted to go back to my captain and Knew that that once again that was not going to happen. I sighed and looked around. The sun had just started to set and was aluminating the sky. The orange, pink, and red colours in the Vast oean that which held the many great clouds and held so many start that shone greatly and reminded me of the flowers that bloomed all around the serite. Gin had promased me that some day we would look up at the setting sun together, But as the days carried on, I knew THAT dream was slipping through my fingers quickly.
"I understand. Thank you dearly, I hope that you can help my Vice-Captain. For he has not been himself of late." He sihed and looked at me, His eyes were heavy with sleep. I knew how he felt...For Gin had died 6 years earlyer.
