I don't--

Card key, card key...

Well, I did think a vacation was in order. I should be careful what I wish for.

It had always ended like that. Not always so terrible or bloody, but the gist was the same. Gin would always leave, it was the way he was. Rangiku had gotten used to it early, and it was one of the things about him that remained constant - one of the things about him she hated the most.

This time though, it was too much, it was too different - he'd said goodbye. The look on his face when he'd said it was different, as was his tone - it had made her chest clench painfully.

This is it, isn't it?

She had said nothing in return - the betrayal was too fresh, too new. It had struck her like a slap to the face, and while the sting was there she could not bear to say farewell.

Even the apology had burned.

So, all things said and done, she had drank. She had drank and she had proclaimed to all that would listen that she didn't care, didn't care, didn't care - after all, who would care, could care care about him after all that?

He always came back eventually. This time though she would glare and fight and - she wondered, idly, that if she sought to fight him he would leave the battle as he had done before. She would however, not let him. She would no longer be coddled, no longer allow herself to fall into the circle of pain and redemption. No longer let herself be dictated by whether Gin would stay or leave. It didn't matter. None of it did. Her loyalties lay where they lay, as his did for him. He was, for all accounts and purposes, the enemy.

Soul Society hath no fury like a woman scorned.

And time had passed. Knowledge and training and the need to be alert - all filled her time. But now, the day was coming and it made her feel sick to her stomach to know that, despite everything and despite what she should and would do--

She could not truthfully claim that she did not wish to see him again.

That was what she hated the most about Ichimaru Gin - friend, betrayer, most hated, loved, needed and despised man in her life.
