Description: Years after the painful end, the echoes of war still prove their influence, and Ichigo discovers a dead man in his kitchen.


( Somehow, Ichigo's ascension to the role of king has prompted more feelings of victory and togetherness than ending Aizen's war. And with those feelings of togetherness comes the irrepressible urge to pair up, start families, and move on. )

a/n: In which Kisuke and Sousuke hear of Ichigo's decision and must make a choice of their own.

( This isn't going to work. That much is pretty obvious. They can't even stand being in the same room together. Sharing is an impossibility.  )

a/n: Another chapter, my friends. Please enjoy. And thanks to everyone who has been following this, reading and reviewing and generally, enjoying. This is also mildly NSFW.

( Kisuke feels like he’s run a marathon. As though these last few months have been nothing but a gauntlet of ghosts and bad memories and loss.  )

a/n Author recommends listening to Reaching by Audiomachine as you read this chapter as it fed the muses and is quite appropriate.

Please enjoy.

( Only a fool would walk away after an invitation from Kurosaki Ichigo. Only a fool would let him sit on the roof by himself, finishing off a bottle of sake alone on the eve of declaring war against Soul Society. )

a/n: I like to write just before I go to bed. I come up with the strangest things that way. Plus, it's fun to do it longhand. My very best friend likes to buy me these cute notebooks, and I like to fill them up. *laughs* 

So, one of the things I do, is put on my mp3 player, and write for the length of a song, and let about three songs play. So.... here's three of them! I did nothing to these but tidy up the grammar and finish up some incomplete sentences. Some may give birth to longer fics. Time shall tell.
