This was not part of my original gift to doodleswithwords. This was written just a couple days ago.
Title: Orange
Rating: PG
Warnings: implied violence and death
Word Count: 132
Character/Pairings: Rukia, Ichigo, could be taken as friendship or romance
Prompt: Rukia thinking about Ichigo
Note: Even though I've read a couple other AUs where Aizen wins, this was definitely vaguely inspired by reading the first chapter of incandescens' (co-written with LiralenLi and sophiap (I don't know her s/n on ffnet) new fic, which I read the day I wrote this. Not that I have any idea what's happened to Ichigo or Rukia in that fic, but it was inspired by just the general idea. XD
Note 2: Style probably partly inspired by having read The Sound and the Fury recently....

Rukia dreams of orange flashing at the edge of her vision. She whirls and whirls and follows and searches and runs and screams breath gasping harshly in her throat but she never can find it him, only a glimpse always just around the corner of a house a street and she wants she wants she needs.
She wakes and finds that sometimes dreams blur into her reality- or is it the other way around? But in the end it doesn't really matter because the houses she ran past in her dream are black burnt remnants now, forgotten tombs of comrades. And she knows they've lost she's lost and she finds that she'd rather be in her frantic dreams because at least there she sees orange that's still orange not stained by red.
