The Promise (Bleach: Gin x Rangiku)

Part Fifteen

Naomi

I can't believe him. I can't believe this.

Aizen had come to me with another proposal.

But no, I was done. I was done with doing all the dirty work for him.

"You refuse?"

"Did you not hear what I said?"

"Hmph. Interesting." Aizen sighed.

"Why-

-its to protect you. I told you." He interrupted me, his gaze hardening.

"Isshin won't hurt me! Gosh you are such a freaking fool-

-enough, Naomi. If you won't do it, I'll do it myself."

"Wait, Aizen." I pulled on his arm just as he moved to turn away.

"Please, brother. Don't do this. Don't make me do this." I pleaded with him.

"Do as I say, Naomi. No one has to get hurt."

"Everyone is going to be hurt by this!" I shouted.

"Quiet your voice."

"I quit." I said. I was unaware of the words I spoke before it was too late.

Aizen's jaw locked as he looked down at me.

"Naomi Sōsuke." Aizen warned.

"Do not call me by that name." I snapped.

Aizen raised his eyebrows, a glint alive in his eyes.

I knew that look.

"You don't do as I ask, I might just hurt the people you care about."

My eyes widened.

I grabbed his clothing in my fist, shoving him from me.

"You hurt Shichiro, I will destroy you." I threatened him.

"My little sister threatening me? How surprising." I watched Aizen straighten up his clothing.

"You might as well be killing me." I snapped.

Aizen chuckled. "Naomi, please. I'm doing this for your sake. I can't stand seeing you hurt."

"Aizen, I'm not stupid. You're doing this for yourself."

"Hm?"

"Just leave." I groaned in frustration, turning around.

"You don't do as I ask-

-I'll expose you for the true ruthless killer you are, brother, if you do not leave me alone. I told you. I'm done doing what you want." I dismissed him with a flick of my hand.

When I turned around, surprisingly, he was gone.

But there was a heavy feeling in my heart. I had no idea what he was gonna do. And it frightened me. He frightened me.

And I knew he didn't care about me a bit. To him, I was just a tool. A tool for him to use to do all the dirty work for.

As I turned the corner to head back to the party, I froze in my tracks at the person who stood before me.

Rangiku

Naomi looked a mess.

She was a mess.

And she was messed up.

I didn't want to believe what I had just heard. But I believe I had just discovered the murderer of all the dead Captains.
