blood love
It's the end, at long last.
For a long time she's been able to pretend that the war has nothing to do with her feelings. There is Soul Society, and there is the enemy, and she knows which side she is on. She promises her sword that she will not falter.
But this...
"Hello, Ran-chan," he murmurs into her hair, his sword cold against the side of her neck, hers swirling in a cloud around him waiting for the word to kill.
This moment is like a negative of all the moments before it. Her resolve remains just as strong, but in the opposite direction, switched within a blink of her burning eyes. She lets herself sag into him, presses her mouth against his throat, feels the calm pulse of his jugular against her lips.
"I love you," she tells him, and smiles.
Haineko shrieks and the air turns to bloody mist.
On his side of the mountain, the sun rises eternal.
On hers, it sets, and all she sees is this inevitable fall.
