Author's Note: Holy sugar muffins, I'm so sorry for this ridiculously late update. I've been indulging in Death Note and sobbing hysterically -- but that's not really an excuse now is it? XD Anywas, a belated happy birthday to Alaena Night!
Theme #21
Oath
Heaving a heavy sigh, Rangiku leaned against the wooden wall of the shack and closed her eyes. Sweat trailed down her face and body, her entangled hair was thrown up into a messy bun and was threatening to fall out, and she felt as though her legs were about to give out. She never realized how difficult it would be to live on her own.

You're lying through your teeth.
Hushing that annoying voice in the back of her mind, she pushed herself off her support and trailed back towards the stump, where she proceeded to cut the logs in half. With each swing of the axe, and with each successful cut, Rangiku felt her muscles burn.
Just a little longer, Gin. Just a little longer... You promised, after all.
But some promises are meant to be broken.
