    Death & Raspberry

    Nearby, the Captain of the Tenth bowed as if in supplication when he added the burning head of a torch to the kindling set at the bottom of another pyre. The straw, dry as it was, caught quickly: yellow flame became orange as it sprang up leaping through the several-storied bed. It made a merry...

    Death & Raspberry

    The technicians of the Twelfth were known at times to tinker with the weather--a process that was far beyond Ichiro's technological comprehension. Now and then they banished clouds from the sun to accentuate a momentous ceremony, or caused it to rain when the Seireitei was under deadly drought...

    Kill a Traitor Before an Enemy [Takahiro]

    A harsh phrase sprang to Ichiro's mouth, sharp on his tongue--a quick rebuke for the young man's impropriety: wouldn't have let him go first? He would do so, and do so gladly-- Ichiro let it go. He set down that affront and stepped back enough to put him outside the rush of loamy dust that...

    WHY DO YOU EAT IT?

    What the Shinigami knew about Hollows could, perhaps, have been fully expressed on a single page if the writer had a particularly fine-tipped brush. Ichiro's own knowledge would have been a terser record, but even he understood something about the scene surrounding them refused to make sense...

    WHY DO YOU EAT IT?

    Then: There would have been a procession. There was always a procession: The Academy found reasons to strut their nascent Shinigami before the Seireitei just about every month. When Ichiro had graduated, his class had all but disappeared within the vaunted halls for the duration of their...

    Kill a Traitor Before an Enemy [Takahiro]

    There were two reasons Ichiro turned to watch his underling's work; first, he of course considered himself responsible for Takahiro's safety in operations he led, and if the man were to be hurt Ichiro was sure he'd hear no end of it from their Captain. But though the Lieutenant of the Sixth had...

    Just one more thing

    The narrow, piercing eyes turned like a lighthouse to transfix a boat--except a boat wouldn't end up feeling like it wanted to crawl into a hole somewhere far away to escape the gaze. Those cool eyes flicked from head to toe, then back again: a quick inventory of the man who'd just arrived on...

    Kill a Traitor Before an Enemy [Takahiro]

    The shadowed figure stepped forth from the packed-dirt alley and into the moonlight. Ichiro saw what he expected to: an only slightly distorted reflection of himself. The man who emerged was of similar height to the Lieutenant, similar build, similar hair if not its color--they could have been...

    Kill a Traitor Before an Enemy [Takahiro]

    SOMEWHERE AT THE EDGE OF THE SEIREITEI, 1:45AM When Ichiro walked these streets, they tended to be empty. Out here at the fringe of the Seireitei, furthest from the beating heart of its government, the name of the Sixth was spoken in fearful--but careful--derision. Out here, where the sprawling...
