Well, she'd taken the time to explore most of the strange city. At least... she assumed it was what qualified as "most". With the dinginess and darkness that clung and permeated every bit of this place, it was hard to know where it stopped and the beyond began.

Running one pale hand through dark hair, Rukia cast violet eyes around her, trying to get her bearings. This place was like a maze at times, and it seemed easier every moment to lose her way. At least the church -- it was a church, right? It looked like one at least -- stayed in the same place all the time.

Making her way back towards the edifice, she caught sight of a figure crumpled a few feet in front of the gates. A newcomer, perhaps? She herself had appeared in this place by the gates to the forboding building, so it wasn't that hard to assume someone else might have. Stopping beside him, she sank down to her knees, looking the boy over.

"Hey. You alright?"

Riku's eyes wouldn't open just yet. He tried to speak back to the muffled voice. Was it in his head?

Sora? He tried to say this but his lips could barely even mouth the name. The voice sounded young, was it him? But the longer he was there, he could feel the heat from the ground, the rough earth pressing against his back. He was coming to his senses but it wasn't pleasant. His mouth was dry and his head throbbed. The heat wave that had been hovering over the town had obviously not let up.

Finally, through his silver eyelashes, he could see a figure hovering over him. His blue-green eyes still couldn't penetrate the night air but the person over him seemed to have lighter skin, though the hair blended in to the background.

The boy whispered something -- or at least he tried, mouth moving so faintly she could barely make out the syllables -- Sora. A name, perhaps? A friend, nakama... even family, maybe.

Either way, he was just a boy, probably not much younger than Ichigo, though this youth didn't seem to have had the same sort of training her orange-haired shinigami companion had gone through. Silver hair, worn longish, and clothing that seemed rather strange to her. Not that much of the clothing she saw in the Living World wasn't strange, but this young man's clothes seemed a bit more "out there", as Inoue might have said.

Carefully pulling his head into her lap, she brushed silver bangs out of his face. The boy seemed alright overall, with no obvious injuries, so she could assume he was just exhausted. Sharp eyes caught the flutter of silvery eyelashes and she leaned closer, trying again to get his attention.

"Hey...Wake up."

[key_to_darkness]

He felt gentle hands around his head, but he could tell they were moving him.

Wake up? I wasn't alseep... Riku's thoughts meandered and had trouble focusing on the words. I wasn't alseep... But my eyes are closed. When did I get on the ground?

His eyes now focused on the girl above him. It was becomming easier to see, especially with his bangs parted. The girl had a young face but extremely exotic colored eyes. His throat was still dry and his lips chapped but he found it a little easier to speak after he was moved from his previous crumpled position. He wasn't sure what to ask first and but he felt he wouldn't have long to ask her much. He said in a very faint voice, "Where am I?"
