Oh boy. I had ONE drink, and now I'm falling asleep in my chair. Then again, it's been a very long day for me. hmmm.. maybe that'll be my excuse, a long day. Mostly, I'm just a light-weight. Oh well.

67. Dangerous Territory

When Gin was with Rangiku, he could let all his troubles disappear. The problem was, Gin was a captain; he had duties to perform every day. Rangiku had things she did as well; she was a third seat, and Gin suspected she would be named lieutenant shortly.

They would have even less time together then. Gin supposed that would be better for the appearance he kept up with Aizen. Thanks to Aizen, he had been careful for quite some time. He wished he could just let all of it lay forgotten, but the consequences might scare even him. Instead, he kept a somewhat casual relationship with Rangiku.

Gin looked around. He was deep in a forest. He had taken an assignment quite a ways off. He had wandered off from Rangiku one day and heard about it so he kept walking. He picked a fiddle head and toyed with it. Gin was well aware how much his bad habit hurt Ranigku. So he kept doing it. He had to do something to keep her at a distance.

Otherwise, he had no idea how he would leave her behind. He had no choice now, he would be going with Aizen. He had to make sure that Aizen did not kill Rangiku though, as Aizen planned to do with Momo. Gin did not particularly care for the girl, but he knew Aizen was truly a cruel man.

Sometimes, it took Gin a moment to remember that he too was a cruel man. He toyed with and used people without regret, and he continued seeing Rangiku knowing how much he would eventually hurt her. Gin slept easily at night, knowing he would betray all of soul society. He did wicked, terrible things, yet for those things he felt no remorse. He would miss Rangiku though.


Oh man do I ever have the sleepies.
