beneath the cherry trees Part 12

Briar keeps an eye on the white wolf as Ren leads them along the cliff, wary about being suddenly reverted into his canine form now that she’s back and watching him; two unexpected changes in such short order is more than enough for him. (He can already feel something odd in his soul, almost like …

beneath the cherry trees Part 11

Ren makes sure to keep a subtle eye on the three shifters as they move closer to Kamiki Village, watching for any of the familiar signs of being overwhelmed that some newcomers experience, especially now that they know that at least three of the strangers can sense Konohana. Shadow and Silver seemed to adapt to …

beneath the cherry trees Part 10

“I have not the slightest clue how we shifted,” Ilsa answers Gregor honestly, giving the poor man a wry smile when he just sighs at her answer; she really wishes she had an answer, but right now she has nothing but guesses, and none of them very good guesses either. It’s obvious that the white …

beneath the cherry trees Part 9

Gregor can’t help his reflexive glance up at the tree-shrouded sky, even though he knows that there’s no way he’ll be able to see if the moon has suddenly risen despite it only just setting before dawn. It’s too soon for another moonrise, he knows that, and yet… And yet Briar, Ilsa, and Kai are …

beneath the cherry trees Part 8

Ren taps their fingers against their thigh as they stare down at the map and consider the area where Shadow had indicated with his paw; his people are closer to Kamiki Village than Ren expected, which is a bit concerning. They’ve seen little sign of newcomers in the area, despite Shadow’s people settling in the …

beneath the cherry trees Part 7

Ren watches with amusement as Silver staggers back to the table and flops onto her side with a heavy sigh, clearly exhausted by all the play that Snowball had insisted on; Shadow and Silver lasted longer than Ren expected — more proof that the two aren’t normal wolves — but it’s obvious that neither of …

beneath the cherry trees Part 6

Mami lets herself relax as the two strange wolves finally begin to settle, both of them clearly charmed by Mrs. Plum’s kindness and cherry cakes, just like she’d hoped. For all she trusts Amaterasu with her life and the lives of all the villagers, it’s clear that the two black-and-cream wolves are… uneasy. On edge. …

beneath the cherry trees Part 5

There are villagers gathered around the base of the stairs, Erich discovers as soon as he rounds the last bend. He immediately freezes, searching for an escape, for a way around the gathering that wouldn’t draw attention, but— “Oh! Ammy, are these two yours?” one of the villagers asks as she looks up and spots …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 18

“And here’s Karakura!” Kisuke came to a stop next to Mami and stared across the bridge at Karakura, relief coiling through him at the sight of it; he’d never quite known how much the town had come to mean to him over the decades until he’d not been able to return immediately. For somewhere that …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 13

“Certainly not passive, is he?” Erich snorted and glanced up from his book to fix Alexis with a dry look. “You wouldn’t like him if was,” he reminded her, then leaned over to peer around his mate to catch a glimpse of Urahara outside. The man was running through a series of slow, careful stretches, …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 11

Kisuke ran a polishing cloth over Benihime’s blade again and again, using the repetitive motion to occupy his body while he tried to sort through everything he overheard a few hours ago. (Courting him?) (The day before, none of them could stand his presence and yet… Erich and Alexis were going to court him?) (That …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 6

Kisuke was still exhausted when he woke in the morning, his reiryoku only partially refilled and his side aching from the Hollow’s blow. He wished he could heal himself or, barring that, wished these strange singers could finish the healing for him, but he knew that wasn’t going to happen. He had no doubt that …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 3

Kisuke woke with a start, chased by swirling memories of teeth-claws-bright wings-dark eyes-song. Everything blurred together, a nightmare of sight-sound-sensation that left him trembling-aching-burning— He closed his eyes. Grounded himself in himself until the memories — nightmares? — faded from prominence. His side ached but not as much as he remembered— (Rescued, check. But not …

White Wings and Soft Cloaks Part 2

“What sort of fool wanders this deep into the woods while wounded and then claims he just needs a nap of all things!” Erich growled as he hastily swept their first aid supplies into a satchel. ::Sounds like someone after your heart,:: Alexis said, stepping forward and stretching her neck and wings up to let …
