Seireitei Gardens

heard altria's words then calmly looked at the sky...

"..........."

Nods,"Right,let's get out of this rain."

~(Should we move this to 2nd division barracks?That's were she lives..)~

the rain stopped and after awhile, shin woke up and stretches...

"Uhmmh...I fell asleep..."

he looks around his surroundings...

"The rain stopped finally..."

he walks out from the shelter to the tree and sit there...

"This is much refreshing"

Some days later.
______________________
As per his usual morning routine Loki took a jog around the garden.Completing the final circle he stops near a bench and drops down out of breath."Sure is..huff..a nice morning."

Shiro is relaxing under the shade of a tree, and is comfortably taking an afternoon nap. "...zzz...."

Sitting comfortably on an a tree branch with her back to the trunk and lazily messing with a sketch Altria looks up at the sound of familiar voice. "Oh,Loki? Why are you out of breath?" Swinging her legs down and preparing to jump she notices Shiro sleeping under said tree,silently wondering when he got there and how it was she didn't notice.'Got too absorbed again..sigh..'

on another tree, shin is obviously hanging on a tree upside down like always. his eyes is close.

(note: it's either he's just thinking, concentrating, or perhaps sleeping)

Glancing over his shoulder Loki throws one leg over the bench so he's facing in Altria's direction,snickering slightly at sleeping Shiro."Yo.I was just taking my routine jog.Got to keep in shape,you know." Seeing the sketchbook he breaks out into a grin."Doodling again,are we?Care to..oh?" Loki frowns in puzzlement. "Is that...Shin?Why is hanging upside down?o.O??" Getting up confused he walks up to Shin and pokes him."Hello?"

when he got poke. shin was surprise he accidentally slipped and fell on the ground.

"Eh?!! ow!! that was bad. i never had some good landings lately."

he sits on the ground he fell on and scratches his head. he looks up ahead and saw Loki.

"Oh it's you loki, what's up?"

shin smiling in a funny way like everthing is normal and like nothing happened.

"It's.Not Doodling!" Shaking her head she sits more comfortably on the branch,swinging her legs back and forth.Picking up the pencil again she glances down at the sleeping Shiro and makes a few marks on the paper,looking up upon hearing Shin fall."You ok,Shin?"

Loki sweat-drops."You ok dude?Didn't mean to surprise you.Eh,why were you upside down?Is that like..er..training?or something?"

"You okay shin?"

hearing altria's voice, shin replies back.

"I'm okay!! I'm kinda use to this stuff now." he laughs.

shin faces loki...

"It's cool. Uhmm me hanging?? it's just something I usually do, it's not some kind of training or anything."

shin smiled and thought of sharing some story..

"I'm not sure if you'll believe it but the thing is that i use to be a circus guy before."

shin laughs

"No way!!As a human?" Loki looks surprised. "Man,that sure sounds awesome.What did you do?"

Laughs,remembering Shin doing something similar when they first met in the gardens.Her pencil slips from her fingers and drops down,hitting Shiro right on the head.She looks down nervously."Ah..um..oops.."

shin tries to remembers..

"I don't remember my human years but I do remember some of my jibaku-plus days before this shinigami asked me and performed the soul burial stuff. He urge me to become a shinigami when I came here to soul society, and he then told me some of my days when I was a human saying I was a circus guy before.."

shin sighs and laughs..

"I'm not sure if it's true though since us shinigami couldn't remember our human years...but I do somehow believe that guy and it pretty much sounds cool. right?"

shin laughs

Shiro's eyes flick open as the pencil bounces off his head, "Eh-wha?" He looks around confused, then notices the pencil landed in his lap. He picks it up and holds it out to Altria. "You dropped this." He smiles sweetly. *note his k-nines are still pointy*

"Er..yeah..um,sorry.." Holding the sketchbook under one arm she jumps down from the branch,landing lightly and takes the pencil back."Thanks..er.." Her gaze flickers to his k-nines.Muttering something quietly with a smile she takes a seat on the bench.

"Yeah,sure does." Loki looks thoughtful."You know,I have this theory that shinigami can remember their human life,they just either don't want to or don't know how.But things like memories,I doubt a soul forgets things so easily.A lot of people back in Rukongai could remember.And not to forget Hollows,they remember.Certainly so could we." Loki shrugs carelessly,"Personally I'm more interested in the now.Past is past,as they say."

shin nods.

"Yup. there's nothing more fun than what we're living right now."

Shiro stares up at the sky, then gets up and wanders a little ways away. ".... I wish I could remember, how I got here." He seems a bit down.

Glancing up from the page she looks after Shiro."Hm?What do you mean?"

Shiro glances back to Altria, "..... Well, I don't remember much about myself..... all I know is I showed a little over a week ago..... and well." he pauses and smiles sadly, " I remember bits and pieces of things, but not enough to really remember."

"A whole life..it's a lot to remember.You need..time,Shiro.It's not something one can..rush." She smiles."But..memories are always there.And you are still you."

Shiro looks thoughtful, and tries to understand what exactly altria just said. "hm."
