"Bottoms up boys!" Rangiku winked playfully at a now very drunk looking Kira as she held her glass up as if to toast. Shuhei and Renji looked at each other for a long moment before looking down into the clear substance that filled their glasses; "I don't think this will hurt anymore than it already is going to tomorrow." whispered Renji in a slur to Shuhei. The dark haired man looked around at the multitude of empty bottles around them and shrugged before lifting his glass too. "Bottoms up!"
Rangiku is sipping her sake like drinking water as the world looks to be dancing over her glazed eyes. As the world dances an unforgettable shadow near the bar catches her interest. The air mysteriously leaked from her lungs causing her whole chest to seize and shatter taking every piece of her heart with it. Was it him? Her heart constricted further...
'Could it be...him?' She thought.
She looked harder only to realize it was the drunken haze playing tricks with her imagination. Choking back a silent sob she smiles brighter because she knows she is on the verge of tears. She logically knew it couldn't be him because she watched him take his last breath...But she couldn't tame her hope. Without so much as another thought she signals for another bottle of sake.
'Perhaps two would put me to sleep tonight...' She thought.
It would be lethal but it was better than the alternatives. She couldn't go back to her room in the dark and be alone. Kira eyed Rangiku like she was insane as she ordered the bottle and looked to Renji and Shuhei for help. Smiling as the waiter brings her the umpteenth bottle of sake; Rangiku rises without speaking a word to her companions. Walking over to the bar she drops a few coins down and proceeds to grab a second bottle of the potent liquor. With a little wiggle of her hips she turns blowing the boys a kiss and throws them a wink. As she exits the building stepping out into the cold night air the facade she kept up in front of her friends starts to crack ever so slightly. Her spine relaxes from her excellent posture almost making it look like she is one step away from folding in on herself. Her ever present smile dampens as she hugged the bottles tightly to her chest as she hurries toward her quarters stumbling every now and again. As she continues her mission many other Shinigami she knows pass her by but she ignores all their hellos and other greetings as she starts to fall into her own world. Reaching her room was no mean feat but mission accomplished. As she closes the door to her room she turns around leaning against it and sinking down the back of it to the floor staring into the dark empty room. Opening the bottle she takes a sip as a solitary tear escapes her eyes..."You left me..." She whispers hollowly to the nothingness, "You took everything." She takes another longer sip as the tears start to fall, a rage starting to build in her body. Pulling herself up by her wobbly side board she keeps for her keys she sway's with it before throwing it and the vase that was on it across the room with a shattering and splintering noise. There was nothing she could do, there was no one that would understand she thought bitterly. With a final strangled sob she felt herself slip into oblivion spilling the leftover contents of the bottle she held all over herself and the floor.
