Hi~ I'm back! It's been a long time, huh? I'm so sorry! There's so much going on that I just stopped fanfic for a very long time. My friend reminded me of this story so I spend some times to continue it. This was edited by her and another friend of mine, so make sure to thank them in reviews! Not all mistakes are fixed because fanfic have a tendency of not updating the fixed mistakes. Once again, I apologize for the delay and the mistakes!

Gin skipped over a pool of blood, avoiding getting his cloths dirty. He turned back, looking at the floor covered with dead bodies. Gin let out a silent sigh, he couldn't believe how many people he killed. Although he is a lot stronger than all of them combined, he is still human. His movements had gotten slower, his mind wasn't as sharp as before, he even miss his targets couple of times. Gin's body demanded Gin is rest for a while, but Gin knew he couldn't waste anymore time. Gin turn around and closed his eyes, letting them rest for a moment before his legs started to move. He have his guns ready, knowing the end was near.

"Where are you taking us?!" Daichi hiss. He didn't trust the green haird guy, the way he look at his mommy just piss him off. Daichi want that man to be evil, that way he can kill him knowing he did a good deed to the world. Daichi caught him stare at Rangiku before, the way he looked at her with curiosity and gentleness made Daichi sick. Deep down, Daichi was afraid. He was afraid his mama would fall in love with that guy and forget Daichi and papa.

'What a childish thought...' Daichi scolded himself, he couldn't let his guard down. Daichi won't able to forgive himself if Rangiku is hurt in any ways.

"Somewhere." Shoji reply. He looked at the kid and examine him. He was an exact copy of Gin inside and out. Not only was his appearance the same, but his personality as well. Everything about him shouted pride and honor, something that disgust him.

"That doesn't answer my question." Daichi said. This whole conversation was stupid, he knew that man was not foolish enough to give out any hints or answers.

Shoji considered his question for a minute. To tell the truth, even he himself didn't know where they were going. For all he care, they could go anywhere but Gin was.

"Stop." Rangiku suddenly whispered. Daichi and Shoji both stopped and looked at Rangiku.

"Mama?" Daichi tightened his grip on Rangiku's hand, giving it a little squeeze.

"What's wrong?" Shoji tried to sound casual, attempting to mask the curiosity in his voice.

"He's getting closer..." Rangiku uttered, "I can tell he's near!"

"Are you sure, mama?" Rangiku noded. She doesn't know why, but she could feel it in her heart. Maybe this whole kidnapping scenario was making her go crazy, but she was almost positive that Gin was getting closer. Rangiku turned around and let out a loud scream.

"Giiiiiin-"

Gin stopped walking. He took a deep breath and slowly let it out. He consider the fact that he was too tired and started to hallucinate, but he was almost certain he heard the faint sound of Rangiku's voice. He could tell his Ran-chan was calling for him, and he could catch a since of urgency in her voice. There was a strong desire for him to scream back, to tell her he's here, that she'll be alright. But he knew that the consequence would be big, he'd put them into greater danger than they were already in.

Without wasting another second, Gin began to sprint toward her voice. He ran as fast as he could. With each step he took, his head filled more and more horror of the condition Rangiku was in. What were they going with her? Did they touch her? Beat her? Or even...?

Gin's eyes darkened, his heartbeat quicken as his thoughts cross the line. He swore, he would make everyone in the building pay.

Gin closeed his mind as he is got closer, he knew it was time to reunite with Rangiku and Daichi.

"Giiiiiin-" Shouji immediately stood right behind Rangiku and covered her mouth with one hand and pointed a gun at her head with the other.

"Not under my watch." Shouji frowned. This was not what he wanted at all, this woman was insane enough to try and wake the dead.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Daichi growled, he had dropped his gun when he collapsed, and was now defensless. "You said you would't hurt mama."

"Oh right," Shouji acted like a light bulb just turned on in his mind, "does this make you feel any better?" He pointed the gun at Daichi.

"Mmmmm!" Rangiku used all her might to push Shouji away, but Shoji stopped Rangiku using the hand that formerly was covering Rangiku's mouth to grip Rangiku's wrists.

"Don't struggle, you'll only hurt yourself."

Rangiku didn't listen, but continue struggling. "Stop it!" Rangiku screamed. Shoji's strength was too strong, her struggle seemed to be child's play compared to his strength. She glared at the gun.

Shouji sighed and looked at her "We been through this."

"Drop that gun right now," a cold voice demand. Shouji frowned as he saw a tall figure approaching.

"Let her go," the voice commanded. Shouji's blood boiled, standing in front of him was the same man who tried to kill his boss. The same man who defeated him.

"Stop acting all high and mighty." Shouji's eyes hardened "You're making me sick."

"Let them go." Gin was ready to fire. His body was full of rage after seeing the sight of Rangiku and Daichi. Both of them look awful, Daichi looked tired, there was dried blood all over his clothes and his skin, and Rangiku was covered with dirt and filth. But Gin couldn't be any happier seeing them both are alive.

"Daddy!" Daichi let out a huge sigh of relief. He knew the worst part was finally over, Gin was here to save them at last.

"Shut it little boy." Shouji didn't know how long he'd last. Although he had the upper hand at the moment, he knew the moment that man appeared, it was all over.

"Gin..." Rangiku stuttered. She swallowed a sob, trying to hold her tears. For the past hours, even days, she could only dream of seeing her husband. But now that he was here, Rangiku couldn't help but cry.

Shouji gave Rangiku a small glance. She stopped struggling, he even think she stopped breathing. Her body was shaking and he could tell tears were threatening to fall on her eye.

"One step closer and both of them die." Shouji's eyes glared back at Gin, "You know better than me that if you shoot, your beloved wife and child will die with me."

Gin stood there motionlessly, reading Shouji's movement. He was waiting patiently until it was the right time to act.

They stood, each waiting for something to happen. When Gin realized he couldn't wait any long, he fired.

Shouji acted at the same time, he pushed Rangiku aside and dodged the bullet. Gin ran forward and kept firing. Rangiku fell on the floor.

Daichi eye's widen, he and Rangiku were no more than 3 feet apart, but between them were dangerous bullets fired by two men.

As Gin ran forward, Shouji retreated back until he was between a small hill of trash, he gave himself a few seconds breath and reload his gun.

As guns stopped firing, Daichi ran to Rangiku, helping her up.

"Mama? Are you alright?"

"Ow... My foot..." Rangiku used one hand to support herself and the other to rub her foot.

"Ran-chan?" Gin stood next to Rangiku, his gun pointed at where Shouji is hiding.

"I'm alright." Rangiku forced a smile, she couldn't let Gin worry, this moment was too intense for him to worry about her.

Gin waited a few more seconds before bending down and used one arm to hug Rangiku, "I'm so glad you're safe."

"I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for Daichi." Rangiku whispered, all the pain were gone as Gin wrapped his arm around her.

"Daichi... You did good..." For the first time, Gin gave Daichi an honest complimented. Daichi absorbed the words and grin happily.

Shouji watched the scene with disgust. A pure hatred sudden exploded in his heart. Why does she look so happy with that man? Why couldn't it be him instead...?

Without a warning, Shouji fired. Gin couldn't react fast enough to dodge it, Rangiku and Daichi watched with horror.

"NO!" Rangiku screamed. Time slowed, she watched as it come closer and closer. Without a second though, she used all her strength to launch herself right in front of Gin.

"Ran-chan?" Gin watched as the love of his life throw herself in front of him, he watched as drops of blood slowly coming out of her, he watch as her breath began to soften.

"Bring Daichi out..." Rangiku forced herself to keep breathing, to finish what she wanted to say.

Gin lost the strength to think logically, everything seem broken and torn apart. A long time ago, Gin told himself he would never shed tear for anyone. No one in this world deserve his tears. Yet, watching Rangiku's life slowing leaving her body, Gin lost all his inner control and let out a cry. The flashback began to play in his mind, he thought of their first kiss, first dance, first night together. He was selfish enough to kept Rangiku close to him, something that should never happened in first place. Gin regretted their marriage, regretted his selfishness was the cause of Rangiku's suffering.

"Mama?" Daichi whispered. His legs gave in as he fell on the floor, he grabbed Rangiku's clothes and gripped on it hard. "Mama... Don't leave Daichi! Daichi promise to be good! Don't leave..." Daichi sobbed, shaking Rangiku's body.

"Gin..." Just a little more "I love..." Rangiku felt her body was slowly turning heavier, with the remaining of what she had, she moved her hand and touched Gin's face.

"you..." Rangiku told herself to smile before closing her eyes.

And I always will.
