The Trouble with Love-games

Eventually, you are going to lose…

Firstly and most fore-mostly, thank you for all the story alerts and favourites and hits. The interest in this story appears to be growing, for which I am grateful its nice to feel appreciated haha! Cheers for the nice comments and spelling tips from StrawberryDragon94, Kittens Hellfire, DeviantHollow23 and Aizawa! You guys rule!

Secondly, I am a moocher like our good buddy Renji, in that I am borrowing Tite Kubo's characters for my story.

"So" asked Rukia, when her companion seemed to have stopped sobbing, "How about I make you another cup of tea, and if you want you can tell me about what happened. Or anything else, if that would cheer you up?"

"No, I would like to get this stuff off my chest to an impartial person actually, thank you, Rukia, you're so sweet"

"Don't worry, serving drinks and listening to people is my job" She smiled, and Rangiku laughed. Rukia was glad she seemed to be cheering the girl up a little. "So what's the deal?"

Rangiku took a deep breath.

"Well, I suppose I should explain who Aizen is first. Sosuke Aizen is a second year, currently at Arrancar university. When I met him, it was through my boyfriend, Gin Ichimaru. Gin and I went to school together since we were little, and it was hard going our separate ways when he left for uni. But Gin always liked his independence, so I did not follow him to Arrancar. One day I went out with Gin for dinner, and afterwards he suggested we went for drinks with his new uni friends, I was planning on meeting Momo for drinks anyway, so I agreed, and arranged for Momo to come with us too. I wish I hadn't!" Rangiku began sobbing again, just as Rukia placed the tea on the elegant glass coffee table.

Rukia placed an encouraging hand on the girl's shoulder. She could not help but notice, even when she was a blubbering mess, Rangiku Matsumoto was undeniably beautiful.

"Sorry" She continued "From the moment she set eyes on him, Momo was absolutely fixated with Gin's new friend, Aizen. He does have a strange kind of, mesmerizing aura about him, but Momo was completely hooked. She adored him. Momo is a pretty girl, and Aizen seized his opportunity. Normally, as Momo's best friend, I should be happy she has found a guy she is into who likes her back right? Wrong. There's something strange about Aizen. I don't like him at all. I explained all this to Momo, my gut feeling; sometimes I even get the feeling Gin agrees; is that he is bad news. But she doesn't see it, she is like, hypnotized by him or something. And he is so possessive and jealous. Which leads us back to the present."

Rukia nodded.

"Ever since the soccer season began, our guys, you know, Kurosaki and Abari and the rest of The Shinigamis, have been arch rivals with Aizen and Gin's team, The Espadas. They've had a few close calls almost ending in fights off the pitch, and so many on that both teams were banned from this years university cup tournament. I'm always scared that something will kick off, and this is jut the excuse he needed! It's all my fault!"

"It's not your fault Rang…" began Rukia

"It is he told me it is! How could I be so stupid to let her get so drunk! I feel so awful for Momo now, Aizen will surely punish her or something, and Shiro!"

New tears were rolling down the girl's cheeks, shining in the January sun.

"No, Rangiku, this guy is at fault for being a jerk, no one did anything wrong, a guy cared for a friend is all, I'm sure Ichigo and the others will sort it out"

'Christ, since when did I have so much faith in that loud mouthed jerk? No I just said it to comfort Rangiku… though I believed myself saying it... AAAAHHHH why am I still thinking about this!'

"Thank you Rukia, I really hope you are right"

Aizen was standing on his balcony, looking out the window, contemplating how he should make those filthy beats at Seireitei pay for getting his girlfriend drunk and taking advantage.

His thoughts were interrupted, however, by a slender, tall guy, who walked up to his right hand side.

"Sup captain, whatcha doin' out here?"

"I don't remember inviting you into my room, Ichimaru"

"Door was open, it ain't usually, I was curious"

"I see. Forgive me, I am a little distracted."

"Ahh I see, plotting revenge already? My my, you sure do take this whole sticking up for your girl thing to the extreme"

"If someone laid a hand on Rangiku, how would you react, tell me"

"I'd already have killed 'em, wouldn't waste time with no contemplation shit"

"Interesting."

"Though I must admit, I'd confront 'em and get proof first, from what Ran said it really sounds like the boy did just try and take her home…"

"Do I hear a hint of disloyalty there, Gin?"

"Not at all, captain, just sayin', ya know im 100% behind ya"

"Good"

Gin left, silently, and went to make himself some coffee. He knew he should really start work on his latest essay, but he was worried about what Aizen was plotting. He didn't give a crap what happened to any of those Seireitei twats, but if Aizen's plans hurt Rangiku again, he wasn't sure he would be able to wait out his own plan much longer…

Bit of a character informationy chapter here, it is a little shorter than usual, hope y'all don't mind, especially since I plan to update again tomorrow! Yay!
