Title: Storm
Rating: T
Requested Pairing: ZangetsuxRukia with a hint of IchigoxShirayuki
A storm was brewing.
Because he couldn't find her.
The old warrior in the tattered cloak, glanced to the petite woman at his side, saying, "Ichigo is worried about you."
She tilted her chin up haughtily, "let him be." Her tone left no room for argument, "it's not like I'm in danger or anything. Besides..." she uncrossed her arms from her chest, one falling to slip around his, "if he wasn't such an idiot, he'd come and check here first."
Zangetsu could see the wisdom of this, even agreeing partially with her disgruntlement. Ichigo was foolish to not have checked within his Zanpaku-to's domain, perhaps Shirayuki hadn't reminded him to. After all it was not considered conventional by any means for the Zanpaku-to spirit of one to fall in love with a Shinigami and the spirit of the Shinigami's Zanpaku-to to prefer the society of the human.
Therefore...Zangetsu knew the right course would be to attempt dissuasion on the part of the Shinigami. "It would be best if you were to go."
Her large violet-blue eyes widened incredulously then narrowed in suspicion, "why?"
"Because," the Zanpaku-to spirit explained patiently, "it will rain soon. You may catch cold."
Rukia's look was unmoved to say the least, "please! I can take care of myself!" A droplet fell on her nose, her pout increased, "anyway...you're here."
Zangetsu didn't get her mysterious meaning and secretive smile that is until the petite Shinigami had wrapped her arms about him, burying her face in the middle of his chest. Sensing her determination not to be deterred from him, the Zanpaku-to spirit gave up, returning her embrace. A triumphant smile twitched on her lips, feeling his upper body bend slightly to shield her from the worst of the soaking.
It didn't matter that the topsy-turvy world showered them in a thousand tears, as long as he was there, she loved the rain.
