Summary; Time for a talk.
Log;

It’d been a long drawn out day for Rangiku. First, reawakening from something much deeper than sleep, then finding that she’d been confined to the room she was currently in. The chain keeping her penned in wasn’t heavy by any sense of the word, and the cuff around her ankle was padded and soft, but it was still something she despised.

Trying to collar a cat.

It wasn’t as if it mattered. She didn’t have the energy to try and force the binding lose and even the simple task of pacing back and forth spent the little liveliness she had. Evening found her curled on her side, staring off into the dimming room as she tried to find the center she knew was there from centuries of meditation and training.

He let her take her time in telling Him what was bothering her....and it wasn't terribly surprising that her chain wasn't the largest part of why she was upset.

"Alessa enjoys your company....and contrary to popular opinion, I do care about you as more than the mother of my child." He commented with a half shrug.

"...But this all related back to your choice not to abort the pregnancy." And the original choice to sleep with me. It was unsaid, and He did have the good grace not to point it out, but it was still there.

" I told you a long time ago, Chrysanthemum"He continued, using His pet name for her for the first time in quite a long time.
" My purpose in the universe is an ugly one. I have always evoked passionate reactions, be they abiding hate, or passionate love."

Xulchilbara did understand the source of some of her hurt over the reaction her friends, and comrades had displayed at her choice, but He was not surprised by that reaction in the least.

....And it seemed He was growing soft along with becoming mortal, for her weakness disturbed Him.
He had not much energy to spare, but nevertheless, the Red God moved to stretch His lean body out next to her, and place one hand over her chest, and the other over her belly once more.

TaKe iT...iT Is aLl I cAn dO, aNd iT wIlL hElP yOu FeEl bEtTeR He 'said' though His mouth did not move, and His voice came from that corner in the back of Her mind that He was connected to.
Without waiting for her to protest, or fuss, He let His eyes slide half closed again, and called up her reitsu.
Energy to energy; it came easily, but instead of drawing it into Himself to be consumed, He pushed His own fiery, chaotic essence into her, and let it suplament her own life force.

....Ah, but it felt good to connect in an intimacy far closer, and more private than sex alone could achieve.

...Yet true to His nature, He couldn't help the quick flash of want that rose in response. ( Though He ignored the reply of the flesh to the sharing of spirit)
It was their relationship at it's basic level; Chemistry

The power brought prickles to her skin and a shaky sigh to her lips. Her body eagerly soaked it in as her hand found the arm so close to where she'd been skewered. She leaned a little closer and pressed a careful kiss to the corner of His mouth, silent gratitude for the sharing.

"I'm sorry..."

Soft indeed...For a being who thrived on conflict, He felt more than willing to let the argument go for the moment, and let Himself be mollified by the kiss.

DoN'T bE. It WaS mY ChOiCE, AnD YoUr CoNnEcTiOn To mE tHaT iS InDiReCtLy ThE CaUsE oF ThIs He replied.

After a moment more, He gently drew away from the connection, and let the hand resting over her heart relax, slide around to her back, and draw her into an embrace.

ReSt. We WiLl bOtH hAvE LiTtlE ENouGh TiMe FoR iT SooN....BuT nOt TonIghT...
And with that, the now mortal God shut His eyes.

He was just wondering if this meant He could sleep as mortals did when His body made the decision for him, and drifted off into dreamless oblivion, His arm still wrapped protectively around Ran....
