[ TRIBUTES TO THE SEXY GOD ]

[trollingismagic.insanejournal.com]

[ They say where there is smoke, there is fire, and happily, despite the spat of unusual occurrences lately, this has not stopped being true; there is a large column of smoke rising from somewhere off in the trees, and should you pursue it, you will find a large clearing with a roaring fire. A makeshift altar has been built in front of it, and even the nearby animals seem drawn to the flame.

The altar is sacrificing a large wooden heart, crudely carved from wood, and slowly burning. The smoke is also thicker than it ought to be, and if you breathe it in, you may begin to feel a little lightheaded.

As you examine the altar, or even as you head back to the mansion, your thoughts may involuntarily begin to change. Anxiety and homesickness melt away, leaving you desiring company. What this means may be different for the individual, but it is more or less a unified sensation of craving a companion for the evening. Whether you just want to have someone there, or hold them, or perhaps more than that...

Any way you cut it, the sexy god should be appeased. ]

You don't need to thank me.

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

Allow me to at least thank you. She and I would be dad were it not for you. At least, I assume it all went the same as it had with Kurosaki Ichigo.

I could go far more overboard than just saying it.

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

If you insist...

Overboard?

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

I am a Kuchiki, by technicality.

And given that you saved both my and my master's lives, I owe you a debt, which I'm obligated as a Kuchiki to repay.

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

If only Rukia was that nice.
But I don't need you to repay anything...of course even if I say that you'll think so anyways.

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

She is a nice girl. She's just... She has seen a lot of things someone like her shouldn't have to see. It's why I worry so much.

You have done a lot for her, and I do owe you a debt for that. She is my highest priority.

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

...In that case I'll have to think of something.

[he brings his hand up to rest a finger over his temple, really close to his eye, and tapping, thinking about it]

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

Give it some thought... I'm not going anywhere.

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

Then keep with that. I'm not sure how comfortable I will be here on my first day. Keep me company.

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

That I can do... If anything, I'm decent company. That's part of my purpose.

[She's doing her best to keep the cold around her to a minimum, since she's aware at least that for most people it isn't exactly pleasant. But the general warmth of the area bothers her and she has a hard time with it.]

It's rather nice talking to someone new.

[She loves Rukia and all, but meeting new people is rather fun for her.]

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

[He appreciates her efforts, it's a good thing this fire is actually here or he might be a bit jittery as he's slightly skinnier than Ichigo]

Mm...I'm usually not so chatty...but I'm okay with this.

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

[She had some practice, since Zangetsu wasn't particularly fond of the cold, but it's not something she does particularly often, especially once she got back to Rukia.]

You're very pleasant, even if you seem a bit gloomy at first.

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

So I have been told.

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

Though I suppose really you're no more gloomy than others I've known. Senbonzakura wasn't always so friendly... And Zabimaru's always been a bit stiff...

But it really is nice to spend time with someone new. Someone who isn't of my own kind.

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

Really? You would thing Renji's would be as wild as him.

Mhmm...

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

[She laughs at that and shakes her head, finally starting to seem comfortable in the conversation.]

Oh no. Zabimaru really isn't even all that fond of Abarai... They cooperate well enough because they have to, but Zabimaru has always complained to me any chance he got.

"he" haha

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

What is Zabimaru anyways. Is he just another human looking spirit like you and this guy?

[points at his blade again]

lol well one half of it was still a he XD

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

Oh no no. He's a nue. I'm sure if Abarai needed him to be human for some reason, he could change, but he is what he is. Which is mostly grumpy.

[emptyguardian.insanejournal.com]

A nue? You mean those monkeys with snakes for a tail?
Interesting.

[thebravestbird.insanejournal.com]

Mm... Precisely. It's the monkey end that's grumpy, really. The snake is a rather unpleasant and sarcastic. I've had to freeze it's head a few times just to stop it from talking.

It's been years since that though. We really don't talk as much as we used to...
