5 Gins change (1/2)
It has been a month since Itsuki was finally able to turn his mystic eyes off and was now currently finishing off today's training session. The ground was littered with snow as winter had arrived. Rangiku could be seen sitting down wearing an overcoat over her green kimono at she gazed at Itsuki as he trained, unsure of what she was feeling in her heart. It always happened when Itsuki smiled at her or when she watched him train. Gin glanced at him training and then at Rangiku before giving a knowing smirk and started to leave. By the time Rangiku realised, he was already gone, a faint glimmer of worry passed through her eyes but then her attention was immediately gathered by Itsuki.
At first both Gin and Rangiku were surprised at him training, wondering for what reason he was doing it for. Itsuki was caught off-guard when they asked him as he never did prepare a response, so he just gave a childish and cliché reply of him feeling useless and wanting to help them. Although he really did want to help them in the near future, they didn't need to know about the future which was full of thorns. Although there will be tiny moments of happiness, just experiencing these relaxing yet fulfilling days was enough for him as he knew it would soon come to an end.
Itsuki noticed Rangiku's subtle glances at him but chose to ignore it. It left him with complex feelings as entering a relationship this early on didn't even cross his mind. Nobody can say about the future but for now he would rather act oblivious to it as it could be attributed to him being her crush. Although he wasn't an otaku, it was every man's dream to have a harem. Especially in this world as there was Yoruichi Shihouin, Kuchiki Rukia and many others. He never knew if he would create a harem or only have one woman and keep her happy but he would cross the bridge when he got there, right now all he needs to do is increase his strength so he could help his friends and try to prevent Gin's death in the future.
As he finished his training he went into the hut, where a warm towel was prepared, to wash off his sweat. Looking at his body, faint signs of muscle started to show on his body, although not much but compared to his previous scrawny body it was a good change. His ragged black kimono was already there accompanied by a small coat. After drying himself with the towel he wore his kimono and tied up his hair into a high pony tail whilst coming out, leaving a few strands cascading down the sides of his face.
He tried to remember the timeline he was currently in but couldn't come to a conclusion. It wasn't stated when Rangiku and Gin met but he knew that it was in summer or spring and that they joined shin'o academy 111 years prior to the main plot.
He also knew that Gin wanted to join the academy because of his desire to kill Aizen.
Finally noticing the absence of Gin, Itsuki turned to Rangiku
”Rangiku, have you seen Gin?” Itsuki asked the still dazed harpy who was leaning on her arm
Shocked by the sudden question, her hand slipped as she fell backward rather comically.
Surprised at what happened, Itsuki couldn't stop himself from bringing out a small giggle mesmerising the opposite party
She replied getting back up while collecting her thoughts and archiving this moment into her deepest memories as a small blush appeared on her face
”I don't know, he never tells us where he is going whenever he leaves. It's been like that even before we met you”
Her complexion started to look downcast and a gloomy air surrounded her. A rare moment of panic could be seen in Itsuki's eyes as he tried to cheer her up by changing the subject.
