Log;

It was still warm when Dark walked out onto the rooftop of his apartment building. The day had been a scorcher; he had dropped a few eggs on the pavement to watch them sizzle and brown. But now it felt much better without the sun overhead.

He shifted the bag upon his back, making sure everything was secure and looked up at the sky. It was a clear night with just a little bit of moon. No wind, not yet at least.

His wings began to materialize behind him and Dark stretched them out before running off the rooftop and gliding through the air, heading towards another apartment rooftop and a waiting shinigami.

Her arm tightened around his neck, but she didn't flail, or jump or squeal. She was used to traveling at speed, and could stand on the sky when needed, but there was just something about being held up by just two wings that she found exhilerating.

Her free hand settled the sake bottle in her lap, then tucked her now wild hair behind an ear the best she could. "Nah. This isn't too bad."

"Oh? It's not reckless enough for you?" Dark lazily did a loop in the air before gaining some altitude. He did a few barrel rolls from side to side, chuckling as his hair ended up in Rangiku's face.

He motioned toward the stars above him. "Clear night. Nothing but stars. Back at home, we sometimes had trouble finding them because of all the lights..." Dark trailed off as he tried to find some of the constellations he knew. No such luck.

She didn't bother to brush away the hair, even when her own curled up to join it with the breeze. Her eyes were already on the stars, a tiny smile on her face. "Back in Seireitei, the stars would blaze above the city... I'd sit on the roof of my office and watch them... made my taichou mad sometimes. He thought I was shirking work."

"He had it right then. When are you ever doing work?" Dark laughed. His smile faded a little as he thought of the work he used to do under the cover of night and wondered for a moment when that life would drag him back.

He shook himself mentally. "I'm guessing you got him off your back with those charms of yours?" He glanced down suggestively. "And maybe some?"

[10thdiv-haineko.livejournal.com]

"Psh. I did my share of the work." She neglected to mention that that work usually didn't involve paperwork, which should've been her responsibility. "He never fell victim to my charms, no. Got tired of having my boobs assaulting him all the time is more like it." The glance wasn't missed, however.

"Half the men of Soul Society didn't mind, though."

"The other half must swing the other way," he muttered. "Most guys would give up their firstborn just for a glimpse of you."

"Tell me about your taichou," Dark asked after a second of silence. His wings beat besides him, keeping them level with the few clouds. "And about Soul Society.

"Mmmm, maybe, maybe not. Most of those are the ones I spend time with. They think of me as one of the guys, I think." Dark's next words took her by surprise, and it was obvious. She fell into her own silence for several moments, and when she spoke again, her voice was soft and affectioniate.

"Taichou... is short and grumpy most of the time, but he's a good one. He makes sure I eat properly and I've caught him checking up on me several times after I fell asleep at work, even if it was his fault for trying to make me do all that paperwork. When we fight together, it's amazing. Two parts of a whole, you know? I'd die for him in a heartbeat."

She paused, unsure how much to tell of Seireitei and Soul Society.

Dark gave a small smile, his eyes slightly glazed in thought. "Short and grumpy? Sounds like Daisuke..." He stayed quiet for a few moment before seemingly coming to a decision.

"Daisuke comes from a clan that has a curse. Me. At the age of fourteen, when a male from the clan experiences first love, I come to share that person's body. Whenever Daisuke feels love, he transforms into me. I usually take the time to steal precious and sometimes cursed items."

He looked down, as thought he could see Daisuke somewhere on the dark street. "This is the second time we've been able to exist in two different bodies. It's... strange."

She listened quietly, not asking the most obvious questions. It just made her happy he was willing to tell her his story. "That's kind of a shame in a way. The first time you love is complicated enough on its own." Her eyes followed his down when he looked.

"You get used to being together."

"Yeah," Dark responded absently, "It is a shame. But in the end, he found the girl for him. She just got here, in fact..."

He sighed. "You would think, after four hundred years of doing this kind of thing, that I would learn from my mistakes. That I shouldn't get close to anything." A small bitter smile crept upon his lips. "Although, it's nice to believe in forever once in a while."
