The sun was setting, giving the landscape a bright red glow. Renji was sitting on the branch of a large tree, his back leaning against the trunk. Now and then he threw a glance at Rukia, who had slipped as far to the end of the branch as she could. Her hand was reaching out to an apple that was growing there.
'Be careful you idiot. You might fall.' Renji growled.
Rukia just looked back and grinned.
It had been a long time since the two of them had last been here, the tree from their childhood at Rukongai. With their shinigami duties they hardly ever had the time to come here and hang out. And the last few months it had been completely impossible, with Rukia hiding in the material world first and then being locked away in expectation of her execution.
Renji sighed at the serenity of the moment. Finally some peace and quiet.
Just then, the branch broke and Rukia disappeared through the foliage with a shriek.
'Rukia!' Renji jumped down after her and landed smoothly. He immediately went over to the crumpled heap that was his childhood friend. 'Rukia! Are you alright?'
She growled as she untangled herself, 'No I'm not alright, obviously. I just fell down eight feet.'
Renji crossed his arms and turned away. 'Well that's you own fault for acting so recklessly. You should have seen that coming.'
Suddenly, he yelled out and started dancing around on one foot, holding the other in his hand.
'What the hell?! You bit me?'
'That's what you get for being so unsupportive!' she smirked.
The other shinigami narrowed his eyes as she sat up, then he suddenly smirked back. 'You haven't changed a bit.'
He extended his hand to help her get up. 'I'm glad.'
Just a short writing practise. Hope it will inspire me to write more again. Comment on the story in any way you like or just don't :)
I don't own Bleach ofcourse.
