Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Rangiku is the 10th divison's lieutenant (vice captain). For some reason, I'm a bit convinced that Matsumoto Rangiku serves as a sort of… character foil to Hitsugaya. Rangiku is tall, a bit lazy, and um, likes to drink. Toushirou, on the other hand, is short, works hard, and is always sober (or what we know of, haha). Toushirou's reasons for appointing Rangiku as Fukutaichou, or vice captain, are not made clear, nor are they obvious. However, Rangiku's loyalty to Toushirou remains unmatched.
Sometimes she doesn't always follow his orders, which depending on the situation, may or may not have a positive effect. She sometimes doesn't finish her paper work, and that leaves Toushirou irritated because he has to finish it off for her. However, she has also saved Hinamori's life at one point, which Hitsugya is probably eternally grateful for. Their relationship is pretty stable; though they've had their share of problems with each other at some point, they generally get along quite well.
