A Karakura Ghost Story

by black.k.kat

Kensei and Shuuhei just moved into their new house in Karakura. Unfortunately, there are problems - two ghosts are already in residence. Ichigo and Kisuke have been there for a long time, too. A ghost story told in 100-word prompts.

36. Chapter 36

36. Dusk

The softness of dusk filled the air as Ichigo stood over the roots of the old fir in the garden. It was a Thursday, and there was snow on the ground, but if he looked closely enough he could almost see the pale ivory of human bone tangled in the roots of the tree.

Kisuke rested a hand on his shoulder, a gesture of comfort. "Anniversaries are terrible, aren't they?" he asked wryly.

Ichigo spared a moment to give him a small smile before turning back. "Yeah," he agreed. "They are."

The sun set, and silence fell over their graves.
