[snowwhitesoul]

[She doesn't remember much. She remembers the distant roar of combating reiatsus, the flare of yellow, red, and pink, the dig of rough stone into her knees and the raw grate of sand stuck in the folds of her shihakusho and tabi. She was tired, beaten, wrung inside out mentally and emotionally and all she could do was watch Zaraki-taichou and Nii-

Place holder for tomorrow!!

[conceivedforwar]

Calm down. This place is safe.

[For now. He's glad to see one of his nakama and knows this place is a safe-haven compared to where they were before. She looked pretty worn, so she must have just came from battle.]

You okay?

[snowwhitesoul]

I'm alright.

[She blinks up at you, consternation knitting her brows together.]

What is going on here? You had just left for Karakura Town and Inoue-san is saying that she was never kidnapped! Where's Hueco Mundo?

[conceivedforwar]

Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but just shut up until I'm done.

[He takes a small pause and watches her face for a second before continuing].

You're in a place called "The Nexus". People are randomly brought here from different places and time. I was battling Aizen before I was brought here. You can wish for anything you want, except for people or to escape. You can only leave randomly when this place "feels" like it, but no time will pass in wherever you came from.

[snowwhitesoul]

Ichigo... did the Cero Espada hit you on the head too hard?

[conceivedforwar]

. . .

Fine! Don't believe me.

[He wishes up a new shinigami robe for her and tosses it to her. This should be proof enough.]

[snowwhitesoul]

[She stares at the shihakusho, then back at him for a moment to be sure he hadn't turned into Ishida-san. Seeing no Quincy crosses, she folds the uniform over her arm and sighs. She looks worse for wear - just as she did when he left her on that roof in Las Noches. Its a pretty blatant reminder to her that she could use a bath.]

This is that wishing thing, right?

[conceivedforwar]

Yeah. Give it a try. Nothing stupid though...

[snowwhitesoul]

[She looks at her free hand and ponders what she could wish for. Its a long moment and then she smiles one of those tiny smiles and something pops into her hand.

A juicebox.

She plucks and unwraps the straw and plunges it into the foil seal with a smirk that's entirely too wide for such a mundane task.]

Ah, I remembered...

[conceivedforwar]

[He stares at the juicebox in her hand and watches her insert the straw. He is instantly reminded of the day he taught her how to do that, way before the war. Those were better days.]

So, believe me now?

[snowwhitesoul]

[Don't tell her that, Ichigo, she'll tell you that you sound like an old man.]

Fine, this Nexus is real. I thought it might be one of Aizen's deceptions, that's all.

[conceivedforwar]

I thought the same thing at first.

[snowwhitesoul]

So we're stuck here. Where do you sleep?

[conceivedforwar]

I'm staying with Shinji and the other Vaisords. Ishida is staying there too. There's a Seireitei is you want to wish up a house there or something, or you could stay at Shinji's place too since it's huge and needs more people.

[snowwhitesoul]

I...I dont know if I'd be welcome there, Ichigo.

[The Vizard didn't seem to be fond of shinigami, much less one living on their property.]

[conceivedforwar]

Sure you would. It takes so long to find people in this place because of all the multiples. Shinji wouldn't mind, plus Ishida's there too.

[He really doesn't want them to be separated again. Living together seems like a nice way to make sure of that...to some extent.]

[snowwhitesoul]

[She turns and looks towards the direction of Seireitei and considers it for a moment. This was such a strange place, and in her heart, she still wasn't sure about what was going on. But she figured that at the very least, she could trust Ichigo. Maybe staying with him again would give her the time to get her bearings here.]

I suppose someone has to keep you two from fighting.
