Gin fell onto his bed and sighed. He hugged the pillow as his mind wondered. His chat with his allies made him think back to Rangiku and it was never good. It was painful for the man to think about the past. He shut his eyes, trying to will away the memories.
Sadly, he knew they'd come back, they always did, There was no escaping this pain.
~*~FLASHBACK~*~
"And ta lead us inta the kingdom of heaven, Amen." said Gin. There was a chores of 'Amens' before people started getting up to leave. Gin sighed as he put the bible down and ran a hand through his hair. It was just another day in Paris for him. It was 1863 and he was bored.
Just then, he heard a soft cough and looked to see a busty woman with long, wavy strawberry blonde hair. He smiled, he knew who this woman was, she always came to speak with him after his priches. Her name was Rangiku Matsumoto, and she was the most beautiful woman in the whole world. Well, in Gin's eyes anyway. He walked to stand with her and she smiled.
"Father Ichimaru, I wa-" started Rangiku. "Nah, church is over, Ran-chan, ya can just call meh Gin." said Gin. She giggled and nodded. "I was wondering if you wanted to go get something to eat with me." said Rangiku. "I'd love ta, but not right now, I got some business ta take care of, how 'bout tomorrow?" asked Gin.
"Sounds great, see you then~" said Rangiku in a sing-song voice. She walked away and Gin sighed sadly. He wanted to go with her but he had to meet with some people first. He went to his back room and shut the door and then the curtains. "Sorry you had to miss spending time with that woman." said a voice.
"Nah, we agreed ta head out tomorrow, ya need somethin from meh, right lord Yama-chan?" asked Gin. The man before his was old, bald, and had a long white beard and long white eye brows. "Of course, you are working under my guild after all." said Yamamoto. Gin nodded and sat across from him. "So, what's goin on?" asked Gin.
"As I informed you when I first recruited you, a dangerous demon named Aizen Sousuke had rised up." said Yamamoto. "Yep, he's after ya, right?" asked Gin. "Yes, but he won't be able to even get close to me." said Yamamoto sadly. Gin was confused and the elder sighed. "I can feel it in my soul and aura, death is calling me." said Yamamoto.
The man was shocked and shot up. "Ya can't die, what 'bout tha guild?!" demanded Gin. Yamamoto looked at him and smiled. "Calm yourself, nothing will change, Gin, though I have asigned two people to work with you." said Yamamoto. "W-who are they?" asked Gin with a shakey voice.
"Zangetsu and Shirosaki, they'll arrive tomorrow, after I die." said Yamamoto. "But, wh-what are we gonna do without ya?' asked Gin. "I don't know, but I fear for the future, as you know, my son had moved to Japan and has his own son, my line will continue, but I fear for when the time will come." said Yamamoto. Gin was confused but the elder was already leaving. He turned and some earrings on his right ear that was connected to a purple ribboned tied around his neck shined.
"Farewell, Ichimaru, let us meet again in the afterlife." said Yamamoto. With that, he left.

"I'm so sorry, Gin, I knew that you guys were close." said Rangiku. Gin nodded as he sipped at his tea. He had just returned from Yamamoto's funneral and Rangiku was comforting him. "Ya, he was very nice ta meh, I can't believe I'll neva see him again." sighed Gin. She leaned over and kissed his cheek. Gin smiled a bit and kissed her on the lips, surprising Rangiku.
She let out a small moan and happily returned it. They broke apart and Rangiku smiled. "I love you, Gin." said Rangiku. "I love ya too, Rangiku." purred Gin. Their lips met again and they held each other close.
"Hm, so, how 'bout a date tonight?" asked Gin. "I'd love that." said Rangiku. They kissed again, Gin finally feeling better.
~ BLEACH
Gin entered his home and took off his coat and hummed a bit. He had fun on his date with Rangiku. "So, ya the one the old man told us 'bout?" asked a voice. Gin stopped and looked to see an albino made and a man with curly dark brown hair. "Oh, ya tha demons from Yama-chan's guild?" asked Gin.
"Yes, I'm Zangetsu, this immature man is Shirosaki." said the man with the dark brown hair. "Shut tha fuck up, Zanny." sneered Shiro. Gin was amused and smirked at the two. "Hm, maybe tha three of us will get along well." chuckled Gin. Shiro snorted and Zangetsu offered a nod.
The man sat down with his two new demon clients and started telling them about the demon threats and Aizen.
~ BLEACH
It's been two years since Yamamoto's death and since he started dating Rangiku. He was a sucker in love but didn't care. He also had something special to ask his girlfriend. He soon spotted her sitting on a park bench and sped up. Rangiku spotted him and smiled.
"Gin, what is it that you want to tell me?" asked Rangiku. The man then got nervous but kept it down. "Here." said Gin. He handed over a box which Rangiku opened to be shocked. It was a wedding ring!
"Will ya marry meh?" asked Gin. Rangiku's face was filled with happiness as tears formed in her eyes. "Yes." said Rangiku. Gin opened his eyes to sky-blue and happily kisses her and she slips the finger onto her ring. They kissed once more and sat down together. Unknown to ether, eyes were watching them.
~ BLEACH
Gin's feet dragged as he headed home. Aizen had made a move and he had been forced to help Zangetsu and Shiro. He had ended up killing a demon woman with black hair held in a bun. He was later told her name was Momo, and she was Aizen's mate. He shuttered as he recalled Aizen's eyes burning into his own and the silent threats he sent.
Gin made it home and opened the door, calling out to his wife. He was greeted with silence and it worried him. "Rangiku, ya home!" called Gin. Once again, silence. He went more into the house when he saw shattered glass, scattered paper and over turned furniture.
He was horrified, someone had kidnapped Rangiku! He looked for any signs as to who when he spotted a carving on his wall. It looked like a large man holding a executer's weapon. This angered Gin, it was Aizen! He ran off, knowing just where the man took his beloved wife.
He knew he sould call Zangetsu and Shiro, but no, it was personal now! He came to an old condemed church that he knew Aizen went to a lot and barged in. It was silent and the man went on more. He looked around when he froze. There was a loud, female, blood-curtling scream.
"Rangiku!" yelled Gin. He followed the scream and ran into a room to become horrified. Tied to a table was Rangiku. Her head was to the side, her rib cage was ripped open and he was her lungs hanging out and her heart was missing. Her eyes were gorged out and blood ran out of her sockets and did her mouth.
Gin ran to her but knew he could do nothing to bring her back. "Now you know my pain." said a voice. Gin wipped around to see a man with slick back brown hair and a lone strain over his face. "Ya bastard, Aizen, she had nothin ta do with this!" spat Gin. "She did, you took my mate away, so I took your's away." said Aizen.
The man snarled and shoved Aizen into the wall, pinning him. "I'll fuckin kill ya." snapped Gin. "If you can catch me that is." said Aizen. Suddenly, he disappeared from Gin's grip and the man found himself being tied to the wall by chains. Gin fought in his restraints as Aizen lifted up a clean blade.
"Now, to finish up." said Aizen. "With what, ya already took Rangiku from meh, what's left?!" demanded Gin. "I am forever trapped here on earth unless sent to hell like with what you did to Momo, and so you won't see Rangiku too soon, I'll trap you as well." said Aizen. Gin's eyes widened when Aizen slashed open his own palm. He went over to the man and used his other hand to pull open his mouth.
Gin tried to fight, but it failed. Aizen shoved his wounded hand into Gin's mouth where the blood went down his throat. This made the man confused, why was Aizen making him drink his blood? He pulled his hand back and the chains faded away. Suddenly, Gin's body burned and he gripped his throat and gasped, he couldn't breath!
"And now, theres no going back." sneered Aizen. Just then, there was a loud crash. "Gin!" yelled a voice. Aizen fled and Gin laid on the ground, unmoving. He saw two blurry images and then, he passed out.
~ BLEACH
"...maru, Ichimaru, wake up." said a voice. Gin groaned and opened his eyes to see Zangetsu and Shiro. "What happened?" asked Gin. He then got smacked by Shiro. "Ya damn idiot, why didn't you call us!" yelled Shiro.
Gin was too stunned to answer and Zangetsu pulled Shiro back. "Nothing can be done, the damage to him is done." said Zangetsu. "Damage, what are ya talkin 'bout?" asked Gin. The two sighed and then Shiro handed over a mirror. To Gin's shock, his sky-blue eyes were blood red now, his canines were sharper and he was paler then usual.
"Your a demon now." said Zangetsu. "How?!" demanded Gin. "Aizen made ya drink demon's blood, when a human drinks it, they become demons and are cursed as well." explained Shiro. "What's tha curse?" asked Gin. "We can never age or die, in short, we are trapped to forever walk the earth." said Zangetsu.
Gin was shocked and looked to his hands. "So, I won't be able ta see Rangiku?" asked Gin. "No, even if you do manage to leave the earth, you'll only end up in hell." said Zangetsu. "We're sorry, Gin, but ya aren't ever gonna see her again." said Shiro. Gin shook and punched the wall to yell out in anger and grief.
~ BLEACH
"Stop!" yelled Zangetsu. He got the blade away from Gin and Shiro held him down. "Will ya quit stoppin meh, just let meh die!" yelled Gin. "If you use this blade, it'll send you to hell." said Zangetsu. "Do ya really want tha?" asked Shiro.
Gin was silent but the albino didn't release him. Gin wanted to die, now that he could never see Rangiku again, he just wanted it to end. "Gin, Rangiku wouldn't want you to kill yourself, what you can do is become a demon slayer, help us stop Aizen once and for all." said Zangetsu. "Ya, are ya just gonna let your wife's murderer get away with it?" asked Shiro. Gin then grew angery, it was true, it was all Aizen's fault.
"I'll fuckin kill em." vowed Gin. The two nodded and Shiro let him up. And so, Gin's demon slying carrer started.
~*~FLASHBACK ends~*~
Gin opened his eyes and saw it was close to nine at night. He sat up and wiped his face, finding tears. He missed Rangiku dearly, for the past 250 years he has been trying to find Aizen to kill him, but the man always slipped through his fingers. He laid back and stared at the ceiling. Even through the pain he suffered, he never regreted it.
He loved Rangiku just as she loved him. He would avenge her and rid the world of the demon bastard. He got up and decided to walk around the hotel for a bit. He took the stairs and thought about his life with Rangiku. They had only been married for three years, but it was the best time of his life.
Then, he thought of the tour he gave to Ichigo, he had fun with the teen as well. He then frowned, was he cheating on Rangiku by falling in love with Ichigo? He came to the lobby, even more confused. He wished he could figure it out. Just then, he heard a noise.
He followed it to the gym and peeked in. Ichigo was in there, punching and kicking at a hanging bag. Gin watched in intrest at how Ichigo's muscles moved smoothly and how sweat made his slightly tanned skin glow a bit, and his now limp hair. He smiled and continued to watch. Like with his marriage to Rangiku, he didn't regret falling in love again.
Rangiku wouldn't want him to be alone, plus he has been alone for 250 years. He looked into Ichigo's brown eyes to see a firey determination. 'Odd, that look in his eye is tha same look as Yamamoto's eyes.' thought Gin. He shrugged it off and left. He loved Ichigo now, and he wasn't going to waste his time.
He headed back to his room in better spirits. His time with Rangiku will always be treasured in his heart, but now, it was time to move on from the past.
A/N: Well, we now know about Gin's past and Rangiku. Now onward to the party! Stay tuned and plz review.
