94. Innocence
Rangiku entered Karakura Town and stopped, breathing hard. It was hard to catch her breath; her right side was burning and pain flared with every breath. It was probably sheer will power that she was still standing.
Still, despite all of her training, it took a good while of concentrating to focus on Gin's reiatsu, strong and familiar as it was. Focusing on it made her feel a little better. Despite his betrayal, feeling his presence again was reassuring.
More running finally brought her around a corner. There he was, leaning against a wall, arms crossed. "Ya shouldn' be 'ere."
"I had to see you."
"Why?" Gin said. "Ya shouldn' wanna be anywhere near me."
"Why'd you leave?"
Gin watched her for a long time; it unnerved Rangiku; it was like he was reading her soul. Finally, he shrugged. Then, he said, "Yer hurt."
"Arrancar."
Gin's sword arm twitched; Rangiku hoped it was in anger that an arrancar injured her, not because it failed to kill her. She knew, though, that it was the first. "Ya shouldn'ta come."
"I just don't understand why, Gin," she said. "Soul society needs you… I need you… and…. You just left…"
"What else do ya expect from a man like me?"
Rangiku shrugged a bit. She had not come with an argument in mind; instead of being prepared, she had no idea what she was doing. Normally, Rangiku was excellent at winging it, but against Gin, right now, she was flailing in deep water. "You chose Aizen, I just don't understand, Gin."
I'm addicted to food shows. So are you guys in school? Working? What're you studying/what kind of work? I'm in school for my CNA (nursing aide), and on my way to nursing or medical school to be a registered nurse or a medical doctor. I also am a bartender at Hooters haha.
