Orihime dug through the packing box, looking for her teapot. She’d thought everything had been packed and labeled sensibly — and she was certain she’d left nothing behind — but trying to unpack was a lesson in frustration. Things that had seemed so logical when she was packing now seemed ridiculous in hindsight, and it …

“Urahara Kisuke, what have you done with my children?!” Isshin roared as he charged into the shoten. Kisuke covered his frown with his fan and dodged Isshin’s lunge, mind scrambling to determine what Isshin was shouting about. Aizen remained undiscovered in Soul Society and there’d been no sign of particularly dangerous Hollows in years; as …

“Ya showed up at a good time, Yer Highness,” the Wyvern Master says in greeting as Shiro and Uryuu dismount from Getsuga’s back. “Most a’ the unpaired wyverns’re hanging ‘round the dens right now.” Uryuu glances from the man and up at the sheer cliff in front of them where wyverns are lazing in the …

Ichigo ascended the steps to the old fashioned home and knocked on the door, hoping that he’d followed Unohana-sensei’s directions correctly and that she was right about where Rerugen had taken everyone. For such a large being, Rerugen had thoroughly vanished from sight; perhaps he was a shapeshifter like Yoruichi, because he certainly wasn’t lingering …

Uryuu woke to darkness and rolled over with a grumble, fumbling for his phone. He flicked the cover aside and squinted at the screen, trying to make sense of the blurry display. If he was reading it right… He sighed and dropped it onto his bed, already tired of the day. What the hell was …

Michiyo looked up from his book at the sound of footsteps that halted abruptly. Kuro stood frozen in the doorway of the sitting room, staring at Michiyo like a deer in headlights. He looked like he’d just woken from sleep, his hair mussed and everything Adventurer about him discarded in favor of casual wear. “Kuro-san?” …

No post for tonight (7/3/19) because work has been terrible and I’m so drained. I plan to get it out by Friday, however, since I have a four day weekend to relax.
“Well… been a long while since I’ve been kidnapped like a princess,” Shunsui said as they were gently released from the Dragon’s — from Rerugen’s — grip. Rerugen arched his neck and snorted, lips curling in a way that Shunsui was going to take as amused for the sake of his heart. “You’re pretty, but …

Uryuu woke to the sound of people moving about in the adjacent apartment. The empty adjacent apartment. That no one lived in. With a groan he dragged a pillow over his head and tried to ignore the sounds. He didn’t want to be awake yet, not after the week he’d had. Another few hours of …

Ichigo led them through the corridors of the Guild Hall, hoping his memory of the Chiming Bones’ location was correct. It was one thing to see the endless halls of doorways through a screen and another to walk those halls, each identical to the last. It was a disorienting maze larger than he’d ever dreamed …

“Well that could have gone better,” Tatsuki announced dryly as their missing teammate flew away without a backwards glance. “Yeah. Could have gone worse though,” Ichigo agreed, turning away from Kingfisher’s vanishing form and looking the rest of his team over. They were all varying states of exhausted from two difficult battles less than a …

“Ichi-nii, Ichi-nii! Ichi-nii! Please wake up…” Ichigo groaned and forced his eyes open, staring up at the bright blue sky— Blue sky? He jerked upright. Absently caught Yuzu as she toppled backwards. Came face-to-face with a human-sized cat— “Ichi-nii?” the cat — Karin, oh kami that was Karin — asked, pale ears back and copper …

Uryuu strides across the Flight Field towards the back corner, ignoring the butterflies in his stomach and the curious looks of the Flying Knights that he passes. It’s just after breakfast like they agreed and Uryuu isn’t going to let nerves stand in his way. (Oh, but what if Shiro decided otherwise?) (What if he …
