In a dark room... two key members that shall determine the future meet... and decide the next course of action that shall unfold...

 Aizen has taken away my family… Her heart frozen with sorrow… Rukia Kuchiki Last of the Kuchikis, Head of the Underground Rukia walked into the room, captain's coat flapping lightly with her movement. Her sharp violet eyes took in everything at once, not once stopping. Finally, her eyes settled on a corner of the dark room. "Show yourself." she said firmly. Her gaze never once wavered, focused on that one corner of the room with exact precision. Her eyes filled with cold fury. …for this, he will pay.

GIN ICHIMARU I'm here for you... Rangiku...
A smile flashed in the endless darkness that seemed to continue on for oblivion... Out from the shadows, a man stepped forward, his hair shining brightly in the column of light that seeped into the room through the only skylight... the moonlight casting a small circle on the tile floor... He chuckled deviously... "My, my, it sure has been awhile... Rukia-san..." He said, a mocking tone edging his words... "How are things going?" He asked. He knew the answer. It was Gin... Gin Ichimaru, standing in his shinigami robes, with an over cloak that descended down his back in a cascading frayed curtain of white cloth... His smile was unmoving, his eyes squinted close.... a most unsettling aura drifted out towards Rukia...

Aizen has taken away my family… Her heart frozen with sorrow… Rukia Kuchiki Last of the Kuchikis, Head of the Underground Rukia's eyes widened only a fraction, her heart skipping a beat before starting to speed up. How long had it been since she had seen this man? The one who had tormented her over 1000 years ago. Be strong... a voice whispered in her mind. She took it to heart, as her visage hardened once more. She was now 1150 years old. She was the Head Captain. From this man she had nothing to fear.
"What do you want Ichimaru?" her tone was flat and cold. "Lady of Ice" they called her now and it suited her well. Her reiatsu gave a chill to the air, making their breaths come out in visible clouds. Her eyes filled with cold fury. …for this, he will pay.

GIN ICHIMARU I'm here for you... Rangiku...
Gin titled his head, his smile frozen in place... his un-opening eyes gazing into Rukia's soul, as if he were reading its very pages... "My, how unwelcoming..." He teased... sighing as a gust of iced breath puffed into the air... "I have... noticed you began a group..." He said, his icy voice only but reflecting Rukias, his tone flat, but mocking... "A group that has caught my interest..." the words slithered from his tongue... He expected to draw some information from Rukia, hoping she would more than willingly throw her thoughts into his mind... He realized this would be the least likely possible chance that would happen...

Aizen has taken away my family… Her heart frozen with sorrow… Rukia Kuchiki Last of the Kuchikis, Head of the Underground Rukia's eyes hardened, it took every bit of self-control she had not to rip his head off. Her voice came out, deadly soft "Interest? Interest of betrayal?!" she snapped cooly. "That "group" as you say, is none of your concern traitor." she turned her back to him as though walking for the door "If that is all you've called me for Ichimaru, I will take my leave."
Her demeanor was one of icy calm but she was on guard. She hadn't trained all these years for nothing. If he moved to harm her she'd slice him in two before he could open his eyes. Her eyes filled with cold fury. …for this, he will pay.

GIN ICHIMARU I'm here for you... Rangiku...
Gin's smile faded, his face turning into that of slight surprise, as if he had not expected such a response... He appeared directly behind her, hand rested on her shoulder, his face directly under the skylight, as the moonlight washed his face with a silver glow... "Betrayal? Traitor?" He questioned softly, allowing his smile to grow once more... "I doubt I'd describe myself as such... If you are referring to my actions when I had joined with Aizen, there had been true reason behind that... One I have little interest in telling you..." He was able to ignore her icy tone... his hand still on her shoulder... "Now then, I am sure we can come to an agreement..." He opened his eyes, his icy blue pupils digging through her... "Isn't that right... Rukia-san?"
A small laugh that sounded through his lips echoed through the empty room...

Aizen has taken away my family… Her heart frozen with sorrow… Rukia Kuchiki Last of the Kuchikis, Head of the Underground A soft chime echoed through the blackness before cool metal lay lightly against Gin's neck. The Rukia he had placed a hand on crumpled and faded, the true one standing calmly behind him. "It's Captain Kuchiki to you Ichimaru." she replied darkly. Her cold reiatsu spilled out to form a light frost on some of the floor. "Give me one reason Ichimaru." she hissed "One reason why I shouldn't end your life now."
Her eyes held no remorse, no emotion except a deadly anger. It was because of him... it was his fault as well as Aizen's... The blade clinked slightly as she pressed it a bit more firmly to his neck "Well? I'm waiting. Her eyes filled with cold fury. …for this, he will pay.

GIN ICHIMARU I'm here for you... Rangiku...
The metal pressed firmly against his neck had lightly broken the skin... as a small droplet of blood trickled down his pale-white skin... glistening in the moonlight... Gin raised an eyebrow... as a voice whispered from in Rukia's ear from behind her... It was Gin... he had moved fast enough to create but a mere afterimage of himself... She was still able to draw blood from him... He whispered softly into her ear... "Because I know how to defeat Aizen... Because I know all of his tricks... Why do you think I went with him?... I know almost everything about him... And..." Gin paused to smile, knowing this would strike Rukia directly in her heart... "Because I know how to bring your brother back..."Gin appeared in front of her... back turned to her as be began to walk away... "But I guess if you have little interest in all of these, then I shall respect your wishes and leave..." He said, looking back, staring at Rukia with his mocking smile as he took one step forward to leave... Wondering if Rukia would ask for him to stay...

Aizen has taken away my family… Her heart frozen with sorrow… Rukia Kuchiki Last of the Kuchikis, Head of the Underground Rukia tensed as he appeared behind her, cursing herself slightly. He should've known he would be so fast after all these years. At the mention of her brother her heart stopped and it took everything she had not to beg him to tell her what he knew. Her eyes shone slightly, glimmering with unshed tears before she blinked and it was gone. "Wait."
Rukia sighed as she sheathed her blade, suddenly feeling old and weary. Unconsciously her other hand touched her collar bone where a necklace might hand if she had one before pulling it away. "Don't lie to me Ichimaru. Nothing can bring him back, could bring him back. Not even Inoue-san." she raised her head to stare at him "Why are you here Ichimaru? It's been 1000 years since that war. Since Aizen took everything away from the world. Why are you here now to ask about this "group"? And why now?" her voice was calm and quiet. Hostility gone as the room returned to a normal temperature. She wanted answers. Her eyes filled with cold fury. …for this, he will pay.

GIN ICHIMARU I'm here for you... Rangiku...
He had her.... As soon as he heard the "Wait" slip from her mouth, his grin grew wider... He turned around, facing her... After her barrage of questions, he breathed a short sigh before beginning... "My, my, full of questions are we?" He asked rhetorically... "I cannot bring him back... However I very much so know how he can be brought back... However, that is a theory I shall save for later... for another time..." His eyes, once again closed, glanced down to Rukia, who was still surprisingly shorter than Gin was... "Why am I here you ask?" Gin paused, adjusting the sleeves of his robes so he could fold his arms... "I am here, for exactly the same reason you are, Rukia-san..." He said, disregarding her demand for a more superior title... "I am here asking you these very questions because I am aiming towards the same goals you are... To get Ichigo... To defeat Aizen... to restore Soul Society... You may think me still a traitor? Then tell me... Why would Aizen impale me the way he did?" He reasoned, his smile unmoving, his emotions masked, but his words true and by no means with fault... "I am not sure you are understanding me as clearly as I thought you would be able to..." He opened his eyes, which were now a blood red, gazing into Rukia's eyes with the coldest possible stare, all the evil in the world could be combined in those two red eyes gazing at her, drilling through her... "I... Want... Aizen... Dead..." Those words would have been the most serious words to have come from Gin's mouth in all known and unknown history...

Aizen has taken away my family… Her heart frozen with sorrow… Rukia Kuchiki Last of the Kuchikis, Head of the Underground Rukia listened calmly to a man she had hated and feared for most of her young life. When he mentioned Ichigo her blood ran cold. No one but the survivors new of his Hollow transformation, and even then some of the wanderers might not know. She stared up at him, she hadn't grown an inch in the time he'd been gone. Another lovely effect of that thrice-damned Hogyoku.
A chill ran through her at his last words. She had never seen him angry, never so serious. An old human saying drifted into her mind If looks could kill... However surprised she was though, her face remained a composed mask. "Hmph." she looked away from the piercing red gaze, closing her eyes in thought. She could remember how inconsolable Rangiku had been, how quiet she had become for a while before returning to her usual self. The cheer had stayed but something was always missing...
Finally she opened her eyes "I don't trust you Ichimaru. I think you're a traitor and a liar. However... I am willing to allow you to help." She looked up at him now, unflinchingly returning an equally piercing violet gaze "You will remain an unseated officer among us until you earn yourself a rank among our numbers. You work both with us and as an independent force when necessary. I am allowing you one chance Gin. If you betray us once more, I will not hesitate to end your life." her words were venomous but true. She walked past him towards the exit to the small room "Are you coming Ichimaru?" Her eyes filled with cold fury. …for this, he will pay.

GIN ICHIMARU I'm here for you... Rangiku...
Gin's smile returned, his face snapping back entirely to its original form... "I do not expect you to trust me... I had made that decision the day I killed a 5th Seat to gain Aizen's trust... He is not deserving of my trust... I will be of excellent service I can assure you..." Gin said as he stepped besides Rukia, is smile remaiend as he took one last glance at the room and back at Rukia... "And so you know... rank, at this point, means little-to-nothing to me... My skill is all I require, and the assurance that I will be able to aid in striking Aizen down... That is all I require. Soul Society, as funny as it may seem for it to be coming from me, needs to be revived..." His smile had indeed faded, but his eyes were closed, as he looked up at the skylight once more... before following Rukia outside of the dark room... I'm coming again... Rangiku....
