"Impressive."

He pulled the covers up to his chin and clamped his eyes shut, beckoning for sleep. It never came.

"You're even better than the rumors suggest."

He rolled from one side to the other, shivering underneath the heavy covers.

"Could I perhaps hear your name one more time?"

Fear. Pleading. Screaming. Blood.

"Gin. Ichimaru Gin."

He sat up suddenly, the covers pooling around his waist. His lanky figure huddled over as he clamped his hands over his ears, trying to tune out the screaming. His chest rose and fell heavily as the sweat rolled down his face. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up! SHUT UP!

"Gin? Are you alright?"

His eyes snapped open as his head whipped around, searching frantically for the voice. "Rangiku...? Rangiku, where are ya? Ran..." His gaze fell upon a lone chrysanthemum sitting on a nightstand, its head drooping over the edge of the glass.

"Are you okay?"

The pounding of his heart continued to drum in his ears as he slipped out of his futon, crawling towards the flower. He leaned against the nightstand, reaching out to stroke the delicate petals of the chrysanthemum. Reluctantly, he pulled it out of the water, holding it carefully in his hand. He sighed, squeezing his eyes shut once more, and laid his head on the nightstand.
