Author's Note: I have the house to myself. Again. ... Minus my dearest little brother. ... Well, at least he's tolerable. XD They're all on a fishing trip again. In the rain. That always tends to happen when they go fishing. Maybe it's a sign.


Theme #16
Reflection


When people saw Rangiku, they saw a beautiful, bountiful young woman who had a true love for life. They saw a young woman who was almost always bearing an earnest smile on her face, whose eyes always held a glint of happiness.

When Gin saw Rangiku, he saw a beautiful young woman who happened to be his best friend. He saw a cheerful, if not somewhat naive, young woman that poured her heart into everything that she did. But he also saw that she was far from his reach.

When Rangiku saw herself, when she saw her own reflection, she saw an ignorant, useless little girl who was only a burden. She saw someone that was only holding back the person who held the highest place in her heart. When Rangiku saw herself, she saw someone that she wanted to change.

When people saw Gin, they saw a thin, sickly-looking young man who emitted a frightening and unusual aura. They saw a young man who was always smiling, and yet they could tell that the smile was far from being true.

When Rangiku saw Gin, she saw a young man who was the first to ever hold any kind of importance in her life. She saw a man that cared for her and loved her like a sister. But she also saw a man that was full of mystery, who was constantly keeping secrets for her. In a way, it frightened her.

When Gin saw himself, when he saw his reflection, he saw an artificial, fake bastard. He saw a man full of lies and deceit, with only a fake grin to cover it up. When Gin saw himself, he saw a man that was hurting the person he loved most. Gin saw someone that he hated.

Hinamori's song has got to be one of my favorites, and Hitsugaya's. I love Romi Paku.
