She dreams some nights, of long slender fingers, trailing over the line of her jaw, nails short, but the tips sharp tracing the line of her mouth. She recoils in sleep from the feel of snakes crawling over her body.

Awakening comes soon after.

But there are times when it goes deeper than that.

The bed sinks, a slight weight pushing down on her shoulders.

Something brushes her lips, the warmth of a moist tongue flicking-nibbling lightly for entry.

Rukia feels the same sensation of hands-things slithering over her Yukata-clad body, but no...this time...she relaxes, not fighting it.

Her lips part.

The pressure of his mouth on hers is so real that for a moment she swore she could smell the particular musky scent that is strictly male on his robes and skin.

She likes it. Her arms arch up around his neck, hands sliding through short, soft strands of silver hair...it's softer than she imagined. His touch isn't as repulsive as she always thought it would be and now...

When she awakes up alone, she realizes it's all just a dream-no-nightmare.

She won't tell anyone about these...for no matter how her flesh crawls, her lips grimacing at the reflection of herself in the bathroom mirror... she cannot forget her responses to the man she despised. Her half-want, half-repellant acceptance of his lips on hers, kissing her so tenderly.

And wishing...desiring it wasn't all just a dream.

Note: dreaming about Gin... ;) he's kind of hot in a creepy way, don't you think?
