Renji/Tatsuki

He was caught, and he knew it.

He had thought nothing of her when he had first seen her, had noticed nothing special when he had first met her.  The relationship had started off as nothing more than an attempt to blend in at school by making friends.  Then, it progressed to a distraction from the boredom of the ( Read more... )

Urahara/Yoruichi

He finishes the last of the preparations and sighs.  He knows that this is the last time he'll ever see Soul Society; once he leaves, he can never come back.

The thought only bothers him vaguely, annoying in the sense that there are things he will miss.  But he is industrious and can adapt easily - he will ( Read more... )

"I'm sorry," she said, looking down.  "I didn't think it would end up like this."

"That's right," he sneered.  "You didn't think.  You did whatever you wanted, thinking everything would work out perfectly well.  Your optimism sickens me."

"Seto...   This isn't..."

"Don't.  You can't offer justification.  You can't give any ( Read more... )

He took her hand and smiled.

The landscape was beautiful - pristine and crystal white, the snow covering the world like a blanket.  The air was crisp and cold, biting at them through their warm layers.

She looked away from him, their joined hands burning like fire in the frozen air.

Everything shone - the snow had ( Read more... )

Renji

He didn't mind pain.

People always asked if it hurt, getting the whole of his body inked.  But it was like a bite, a prick - come to feel familiar, stretched across his skin; and the pain no longer seemed such a foreign sensation.  He drew comfort from it - that pain, needle and ink, artwork appearing across the length of his ( Read more... )

Urahara/Yoruichi

Ururu never argued with Jinta when he complained about their boss.  Urahara was eccentric, but underneath all his glowering and muttering, Jinta liked him as much as she did.  And she knew something Jinta didn't - there was more to Urahara than it seemed.

They were sweeping one day when a familiar ( Read more... )

Renji/Byakuya

"Why do you bother?" Renji groused.  "I said I didn't need candles."

Byakuya ignored him.

Renji stood, grumbling irritably.  "You're wasting our time; I don't care if it's fucking romantic."

"Renji," Byakuya said tersely, not looking over as another candle flickered to life, "stop talking now, or you will regret it."

"Calm ( Read more... )

Renji/Byakuya

Because it was about domination.  About the intoxicating rush of control and the sweet surge of the other's submission as his sword gave way.

It was about power.

Because in the middle of the heat and sweat and the bodies tangled up as one, taut and slick on top of each other - there was always one screaming and the other ( Read more... )

Isshin

He'd do anything to see her again.

He'd do anything to still have her - to still see her, still be able to hold her, still have Ichigo's smile, Karin's tears and Yuzu's lightheartedness.

Nothing would bring her back; nothing would end the pain.

But with his zanpakuto finally back in his hand, the rush, swirl, buzz of his own, ( Read more... )

Renji/Tatsuki

The first thought she had about him was "His head looks like it's on fire."  But then she heard him speak and saw him move and experienced the volcano that was him and she had a second thought:

"He is fire."

Abarai Renji was brash and bold and brave and loud...  But he was Abarai Renji and changing one thing would change ( Read more... )
