Time and Tide: Chapter 12 [Rukia, G]
Prompt #12/100: Cape
Summary: Rukia is thankful for her brother’s foresight.
Rating: G
Characters/Pairing: Rukia
A/N: I read too much into things, I think.
At first, the cape is a hindrance.
It’s heavy and the ends flap incessantly in the winds of Hueco Mundo. Rukia does her best to maneuver around it, but it swings each time she moves, and the folds gathered around her throat make her feel claustrophobic. At times, she wants nothing more than to throw on the ground and let the sand swallow it up.
Then, as surely as if the sand knew her thoughts, a storm would erupt, howling in her ears, the only shield between her skin and the biting sediment the cape around her shoulders. It’s then that Rukia is thankful of her brother’s foresight, and she brings the cloth closer about her.
When she battles Aaroneiro, its weight is no longer a burden, but a reassurance.
