The sun.

The sun in this place felt fantastic. She didn't know how or why room 13 of building eight was able to house such a vast expanse of land and sea, but frankly, she couldn't give a damn at the moment. Besides, this place was too difficult to try and rationalize...she'd given up her attempts at doing so ages ago.

No. Now, as she lay spead out on a blankek, unfurling like an awakening flower, there was only one thing that seemed to be preoccupying her otherwise calmed mind.

Had she brought enough to drink?

Matsumoto Rangiku could probably drain the contents of the very sea Rukai lay next to if she wanted too, but the three bottles half-burried a few feet away in the sand would have to suffice...there wasn't time to get any more.

Time.

Where was Matsumoto anyways?

Rangiku slipped into the door of the room Rukia had asked her to meet her in, immediately taking a deep breath of the sea air. Ever since coming to the city, she's sworn to herself that, if they ever get back to Seireitei, she'd make a point to visit the beaches on the Lower World more often.

She crossed the sand quickly, wiggling her toes as she walked. It wasn't too far, since she'd already figured out where Rukia was, but she took her time. For once, she was happy to enjoy the weather.

Catching sight of the smaller woman, Ran waved and yelled, "You beat me here! No fair!"

She was stretching her arms lazily over her head as she heard Rangiku's voice, her navy hued occulars blinking in rapid succession as she tilted her head towards the source of the mellodic sound, a broad grin crossing her lips as she waved enthusiastically with one hand.

"If I would have know it was a race, I would've let you win," she said, lazily forcing herself into a sitting position, one svelte hand rubbing the small of her back, fingertips brushing away the small grains of sand that clung to her honey-toned skin.

"Brought some Sake with me, in case you're interested," she said, nodding to the bottles buried in the sand.

Ran perked up immediately at the mention of sake. Happily, she flopped down next to Rukia and stretched out on the sand. "I'll start in on the sake in a few... so how are you settling in here? It's a crazy place at times, isn't it?"

Rukia's keen eyes hadn't missed the noticeable peek in Rangiku's attention at the mention of alcohol, "Surprising proclamation...but do as you wish Rangiku...their all yours."

She turned over on her side, hand used as an armrest for her head as she beamed a smile at the...er...well endowed shinigami next to her, "I'm...doing alright I suppose...I've met some interesting people...the most interesting of which happens to be a man named V...He mentioned you...and this city."

Arms under her head, Ran's eyes slid closed as she started trying to bake herself. "The city's full of interesting stuff, if you're careful trying to find it." The wind blew a little sand across Ran's stomach, so she wiggled to dislodge it.

"V, huh? What did he say about me?"

"Interesting stuff...You've got a funny way of describing things Ran," Rukia said, managing to stiffle a giggle threatening to burst forth from between her perfectly sealed lips, "but I know what you mean...you don't ever seem to get bored around this place."

Standing up, arms extending gracefully over her head, Rukia began walking towards the edge of the water, feet barely brushing over the undulating waves currently raking the shore, "he just asked if I knew you. He mostly answered questions I had about the city. What a conversation that turned out to be," Rukia said hollowly, in a tone quite unlike her own.

"What do you think of all this anyways?" she said, motioning to the scenery around them, hands poised poignantly on her hips.

Lazy eyes cracked open to peer around them. "This, as in, right here, or this, as in the city?"

[x-cryptic-x.livejournal.com]

Rukia blinked quizzically before smiling at Rangiku's question, eyes shielded from the artificial sun by one lithe hand, "This as in the city...you've been here longer...you've gotten to talk to more people. What've you found out and what do you think about what's going on?"
