A/N: This will be a collection of Bleach drabbles/vignettes - primarily focussing on the Ichi/Ruki pairing. There will be an ongoing motif throughout the (hopefully, soon to be) collection. It is likely that there will be both canon and non-canon themes.
Hope you enjoy, and feedback and constructive criticism is always appreciated.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach.

Prelude
The night is young, the wind is alive, the darkness is breathing.
His eyes paint a scene. The outside, the inside, the here, the now.
The streetlamps on the path casting dusky shadows over his desk. The swallowtail in his room, like a small shadow flickering across the curtains. A lithe figure in the darkness.
Light footsteps that echo in his heart and soft breathing that disperses through the night
A girl dressed in black. A sword in her hand that glints in the moonlight. Her movements are swift, silent.
And in the seconds before the commotion begins, the scene is imprinted in his mind and he sees a fleeting glimpse of the future. Paths to walk, decisions to make, tears to shed.
This is only the beginning.
A/N: I hope it wasn't too bad - and reviews are much appreciated!
