White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 17

Kisuke drifted awake, mind fuzzy but body more rested than he expected it to be, given that the sun was already beginning to rise by the time he crawled into bed; the previous night had been more of a delight than he’d expected it to be, the simple ‘walk around the lake’ that Erich had …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 16

“Dinner, loves!” Alexis announced as she ducked into her tent, holding a bowl of soup in one hand and using the other to keep the flap up so that Briar could follow her in with the other two bowls. “Put the research aside for five minutes and get some food into you,” she said in …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 16

It was… early… by the time Erich finally crawled into bed next to Alexis, the sky starting to lighten and songbirds already beginning to sing in the trees. He was exhausted but his mind was spinning, picking at Urahara’s observations and turning-turning-turning until he couldn’t tell where one thought began and another ended. Urahara was …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 14

“Ready to go?” Erich asked Ura— Kisuke as the man stepped into the courtyard with a pack in one hand and his regular sword strapped to his waist. “And meet my fate? Absolutely,” Kisuke replied with a teasing grin as he meandered closer, sharp eyes taking the chaos of the courtyard in. “I simply cannot …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 14

Kisuke pivoted on his toes, keeping Alexis in view as she prowled a circle around him. She’d surprised him during their first bout, taking advantage of his hubris to send him tumbling but… not this time. This time, injured or not, he would win. He’d already begun to make plans, to memorize her style, and— …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 12

Alexis cleared her throat and rubbed a hand over her face, trying to catch her breath after her fit of laughter had finally passed. She felt… better. Less tightly wound and more settled now that she’d seen evidence of Urahara— of Kisuke’s clear interest in both helping them and in getting closer to Erich. Even …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 12

The next day dawned bright and cheerful, the sun rising over the lake and the swans beginning to rouse from their slumber. Kisuke leaned his chin on his hand and stared out across the lake, mind still turning over the things that Ren had told him the night before. He hadn’t gotten much sleep — …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 11

Alexis arched an eyebrow as Erich casually slid a door open and leaned in without knocking, adding another tally to her count of things Erich was comfortable doing around Urahara that he normally wouldn’t be. “Urahara,” Erich said in greeting, then stepped a bit to the side as Urahara appeared in the doorway. “Have some …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 10

Alexis smoothed her hand down Erich’s chest, enjoying the chance to simply relax and cuddle instead of having to immediately separate once more. She was certainly looking forward to the day when they didn’t have responsibilities to separate guilds, which… was going to come soon, one way or another. Speaking of… “You know, Benihime approached …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 10

It was evening by the time Alexis strolled up the steps to Ren and Mami’s house, having spent most of the afternoon with her flock. She hadn’t wanted to arrive back too soon and give the game away, not when it truly was a several hour walk. They wanted to make Urahara think, not hand …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 9

Noise in the courtyard below drew Erich from his desk and over to the window, curiosity and boredom overriding his need to finish the last of the paperwork before he had to leave Urahara’s guild for good. From what he’d read, they weren’t expecting anyone — no missions had come in, no supplies were due …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 9

Alexis landed on the edge of town and twisted her neck around to grab the carry-strap slung across her body. It took a bit of wriggling to free herself of the burden and dump it on the ground, but it was a move she’d been practicing for decades so it wasn’t too difficult. At her …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 8

“I need to take my party and head to Candy Shop. They don’t have the manpower to provide Erich an escort back,” Alexis announced the minute she strode into Seigmar’s office and had his attention. Erich’s father fixed her with a familiar, considering look, one she often saw on Erich’s face whenever he suspected her …

Bare Your Fangs to the Dusk Part 7

Alexis pulled herself up into a familiar, ancient tree and began to climb, pausing only long enough to check that Benihime was following her. They needed a quiet, secluded place to talk if she was right about Benihime’s reason for showing up, and she knew just the place. “Interesting place to talk,” Benihime murmured as …
