Chapter 7: Childhood Love
Gin's POV
I can't deny it any longer, my feelings with Rangiku have evolved beyond friendship. The question is, does Rangiku feel the same way about me? Perhaps both of us are too young to understand this feeling called ''love''. Still, the more I dance with Rangiku, the more this weird feeling in my chest grows.
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt an unwelcome and dark presence nearby. What was this presence! It feels like this dark presence is grabbing my throat and choking me! I turned my head around to look at the crowd who was watching the couples [including us] dancing to see where is the source of this dark presence. I kept looking all around, and then I realised that the dark presence has left the crowd. Damn it, who was it! Whoever it was, their presence felt so familar...
''Gin, what's wrong?''
I turned back and saw Rangiku looking at me full of concern. I couldn't trouble Rangiku on her birthday, especially when we are both having the happiest moment in our lives so far.
''Nothing at all, Ran-chan. I was just looking at the crowd.''
Rangiku giggled and teased, ''What's wrong, Ginny? Are you embarrassed about dancing with me?''
''Not at all, although my nickname is embarrassing'', I mumbled.
Rangiku began to laugh, ''I love that look on your face, Ginny! Your face is so red from blushing hard!''
''Shut up...Ran-chan'', I teased.
Now it was Rangiku's turn to blush, ''Don't...call me that.''
We continued to tease each other while dancing, like we did not have a care in the world. Although, that dark presence still bothered me. I will need to be more careful and keep my eye out for any trouble.
Shinji's POV
Those kids are unique, that's for sure. To think that two young kids can fall so hard in love, it's amazing. I sometimes wish I had a relationship like that with Hiyori. but she's too big of a pain in the ass for that.
Still, Aizen is acting highly supicious today. He may pretend to be a nice person on the outside, but sometimes I can sense a darker side within him. That's one of the reasons I chose Aizen to be my lieutenant, so I can keep an eye on him. But, maybe I am just worrying too much.
Well, it's almost nightime, it's time to close this booth and go find Miss Pain-In-The-Ass.
Rangiku's POV
This dance with Gin was so wonderful, I wish it would never end. But sadly, it had to end because everyone stopped dancing once it was nightime. Everyone left the middle of the square and were heading toward the western part of the square, perhaps something big was going to happen there?
''Why is eveyone going over there, Gin?''
''That Shinji fellow talked about something big related to Tanabata taking place at night. Perhaps we should check it out, Ran-chan?''
''Yeah, that's fine. Thanks, Gin, that dance was so wonderful. I never thought you were so good at dancing on your first try, Ginny.''
Gin's face turned red, ''I-it w-was nothing, R-Ran-chan...''
I smiled and we both headed toward the western part of the square. As we kept coming closer to the gathering crowd, both me and Gin began to hear a group pf people singing.
''The bamboo leaves rustle,
shaking away in the eaves.
The stars twinkle;
Gold and silver grains of sand.''
Both me and Gin loved the song, and it was drawing us closer to the crowd. We finally came to the crowd and saw that everyone was gathering near a bamboo forest. We saw everyone writing on tanzakus* and hanging them on the bamboo trees.
''Why is everyone doing this, Gin?''
''I don't know, ya think we should ask someone?''
''Yeah, I guess so.''
Then I saw a man and a woman nearby who look like they might be of some help.
''Excuse me, mister and miss!''
''Y-y-yes?'', the man answered stuttering.
''Captain Kyoraku, you cannot answer anything when you are THIS drunk!'', the woman beside him yelled.
''But, Lisa-chan, she is a pretty little thing-.''
Before the man could finish, the woman proceeded to kick the living crap out of the drunk man until he was knocked out.
I finally managed to say to Gin with a sweat drop on my face, ''So this is what happens if you drink too much sake?''
''N-not q-quite, Ran-chan'', Gin replied with a sweat drop on his face also.
Both me and Gin were very afraid of this scray woman, and we both knew that man was a captain because he was also wearing a captain's haori.
We decided that maybe we should ask someone else, but then the woman said, ''What do you want?''
I decided to ask the first question on my mind, ''Will that man be alright?''
''Kyoraku will be fine, he just passed out and drank too much fucking sake.''
''You were the one who knocked him out'', I whispered under my breath.
''Are you his lieutenant?'', Gin asked.
''Yeah, just call me Lisa.''
Then I decided to ask this Lisa my main question. ''Why is everyone writing on tanzakus and putting them on bamboo trees?''
''You are supposed to write your wishes on a tanzaku and put them on a bamboo tree, some people believe your wishes might even come true.''
''Really!'', I replied with excitement.
''Yeah, but I think it's impossible for wishes to come true.''
''Why would you say such a thing!''
''Because I have been making wishes every year I come to Tanabata, and none of my wishes ever came true. I guess reality and wishes do not mix together.''
''Then why do you keep coming here if you don't believe in wishes?''
''Because Kyoraku will never shut up about this damn festival and insists on taking me with him every year, but he just comes here to get drunk! He gets fucking drunk everytime we come to this stupid festival!''
Woah, this woman called Lisa was pissed!
''Anyway, I am going to take my idiotic drunk captain home, and I hope you enjoy the festival better than I did.''
Then, Lisa literally dragged her captain out of the crowd, while Kyoraku was muttering something me or Gin could not understand.
After they left, I finally said, ''So do you think we should still write our wishes down after what that girl Lisa said?''
Gin smiled and replied, ''Just because her wishes didn't come true, doesn't mean ours won't. I say we should go for it.''
I smiled back, ''Ok, let's write down our wishes!''
So we bought two tanzakus, one for each of us. Then we both sat down next to each other in a small grassy field near the bamboo forest, and began to write down our wishes. There wasn't really much I wanted in my life. However, there was someone precious to me who I never wanted to let go, and that was what I wished for.
I wrote down on my tanzaku:
I wish Gin will stay with me forever and never leave me.
It was a simple wish, but it was all I ever really wanted in my life. Then I put the tanzaku with my wish written on it on a bamboo tree.
Gin's POV
I see Ran-chan has already put her wish on a bamboo tree, I wonder what her wish was? I need to decide what I want to wish for. I'm really content since Ran-chan came into my life, but there is one thing I wish for.
I wrote on my tanzaku:
I wish for Rangiku to always be happy, and for her to never cry or be hurt again.
When Ran-chan was crying after those bastards raped her, I felt like someone took a zanpakuto and stabbed my heart. Seeing Ran-chan in that much pain hurted me more than all the backstabbing from my so called ''friends'' and hell I experienced before I met Ran-chan.
I never want to see Rangiku in pain again, and I will do everything to keep her safe. Even if I have to put myself in danger, I will protect Ran-chan for as long as I live, no matter what.
After I wrote my wish down, I put my tanzaku on a bamboo tree.
Then me and Ran-chan decided to go to a quiet place away from the huge crowd. Outside of the square, we found a quiet and peaceful small park near a small lake. We sat down on a bench near the lake and just sat there in silence for a few minutes.
Then Ran-chan finally broke the silence, ''Look at all the beautiful stars, Ginny.''
I looked up at the nightime sky and saw many beautiful stars, and she was right. But I noticed the moon was shining way more brightly than all the stars combined.
''I think the moon is way more beautiful than all the stars combined.''
''Why is that, Gin?''
''Because it shines way more brightly than all the stars combined. The moon also shines down on someone far more beautiful.''
''Who's that, Ginny?''
''You, Ran-chan.''
Even I could tell through the moonlight Rangiku was blushing hard again, but I meant what I said.
Rangiku's POV
It is becoming harder and harder to resist this warm feeling I am having towards Gin. The longer I am around him, the more I feel like I am falling in love with him. His comment even made me just want to quit resisting and kiss him, this feeling won't go away! But there was one thing I wanted to know from Gin before I even consider going beyond the boundaries of our friendship.
''Hey Gin, could I ask you something?''
''What is it, Ran-chan?''
''You have been so kind to me, Gin. You basically took me, a stranger, and treated me like your best friend. You didn't know a thing about me, but yet acted like you knew me all your life. I am grateful for what you have done for me, but...I am afraid.''
Damn it, I am beginning to cry! Why is it I can't control my emotions around Gin!
Gin's blue eyes opened wide, ''What's wrong, Rangiku? Why are ya crying, and what are ya afraid of?''
I couldn't hold it in anymore, I needed to tell Gin what has been bottled up in my heart ever since I began living with him.
''Oh, Gin! Ever since you came into my life, I feel so happy! I was so happy that there was someone in this hellhole who cared about me! But sometimes you disappear, and I don't know where you go! I am afraid that one day, you will disappear and never come back! Or worse, that you will abandon me! If that ever happens...it will feel like being stabbed in the heart!''
I kept sobbing continuously, unable to hold in my hidden emotions any longer.
Then Gin did something I never expected him to do at that time. Gin embraced me and said, ''Is that what you were worried about, Ran-chan? You shouldn't cry over something like that. I promise that I am never going to leave or abandon ya, because you are the most precious part of my life.''
My tears slowly dried up, and for the first time in my life, I truly had nothing to worry about. Gin has this way of instantly shattering my fears and worries away.
Gin kept embracing me and said, ''Our bond between us is unbreakable, Rangiku. Nothing will keep me away from ya.''
I finally quit crying and was very happy, but there was one more question I wanted to ask.
''Gin, what do you think love is?''
Gin looked at me like he was in deep thought. ''I think love is when ya consider someone so special that ya want to be by that person's side always, to protect that person no matter what, and consider that person your most important treasure.''
''Do you think...that we have something like that?''
While Gin remained silent, I looked into Gin's opened blue eyes and slowly drew my face closer to his. I slowly was giving in to that one desire I had ever since I met Gin, the one desire I couldn't resist any longer. My lips drew closer to Gin's lips, and his lips drew closer to mine. Then our lips came together, and it was our first kiss. It was brief, but it was a kiss I would never forget. His lips tasted warm and like dried persimmons, the kiss also sent a warm feeling throughout my body. When we finally ended both that kiss and embrace, I couldn't deny it any longer.
I love you, Ichimaru Gin.
Gin's POV
Rangiku kissed me.
I couldn't believe what just happened, but our first kiss was so wonderful. Her full lips tasted so sweet, and my body felt so warm from just that one kiss. We both broke away and stopped our kissing, and we were both speechless because both of us did not know what to say after that unforgettable kiss and embrace. I can't deny it any longer.
I love you, Matsumoto Rangiku.
Rangiku broke the silence, ''Sorry, Ginny. I don't know what I was thinking-.''
''It's alright, Ran-chan. I think we both know our bond has gone beyond the boundaries of friendship.''
''Yeah, your're right.''
''Ya know, Ran-chan, I never really given much thought about love until now. Because I thought there was really nothing in my life that was precious before I met you. Every ''friend'' I met used me and treated me like shit, but you are different. Ya changed my life, Rangiku, and you are my treasure.''
So, Gin feels the same way about me as I do about him. Well, now I can tell him about my true feelings about him.
We both said it at the same time, ''I love you.''
Rangiku's POV
After we both said those words, I felt tremendously joyful. I knew both of us were young, but we both couldn't deny our feelings for each other anymore.
Gin was the first to speak, ''I guess I fell for ya since the first day I met ya, Ran-chan.''
''Same here...Ginny. Thank you, Gin. I had the best birthday gift I could ever have.''
''Which gift was it?''
''You, Gin.''
Both of us smiled at each other in silence for what seemed like eternity. Finally, I broke the silence with a yawn.
''Ya tired, Ran-chan?''
''I guess I am a little tired.''
''Then why don't ya lean on my shoulder and rest for a little while, Ran-chan?''
I did what he said, and I could slowly feel sleep overcoming me. But before I fell asleep, I whispered, ''Thanks for everything...Ginny.''
Gin's POV
As I looked down on Rangiku's beautiful body while she was sleeping, I thought how this was the best day for both of our lives. Then I slowly closed my eyes and allowed myself to also fall asleep.
After what seemed like hours later, I opened my eyes. Shit, I realised we fell asleep! How long did both of us slept! The distant noises of the celebration of Tanabata that we heard earlier had completly faded. If it was late enough for the festival to have already ended, we need to get home fast! I know from firsthand experience how dangerous Rukongai can be when you are alone late at night!
I shook Rangiku and said, ''Wake up, Rangiku!''
Rangiku half-opened her eyes and said drowsily, ''What is it, Gin?''
''We need to get home now, Rangiku! It's very late, and Rukongai can be very dangerous when it's this late!''
''Just let me sleep...Ginny'', then Rangiku went back to sleep.
Damn it, Rangiku is such a heavy sleeper! I decided to carry her home, and I probably wouldn't wake her up. As I picked her up in my arms, I could feel that she was very light.
I carried her for a long time and during our walk, I saw that everyone had left the festival.
As we made it halfway to our house, I heard a loud and horrible roar coming from behind me. That instantly woke Rangiku up, ''What...was that, Gin!''
I turned around with her in my arms, and I couldn't believe what I saw.
Rangiku looked at the horrible sight and she said, ''T-that's-''.
''A-a Hollow'', I finished saying for her.
