Fandom: Bleach
Theme: # 28 - Wada Calcium CD3

It was a curious thing; it didn't seem the kind of thing that Ichigo would really think about--the boy was oblivious, most days--but today, he'd come to her, warm look on his face, and brown bottle of pills in hand; placing them within hers with a gentle smile, and one sentence on his lips: "Please take them". It was odd. She had cocked her head to the side, wondering why he had done it, and before a question could be posed, he was gone--out the door to school.
And she was left with the enigmatic nostrum.
Rolling it over in her hands, she looked at the label with a blink.
Wada Calcium CD3.
A supplement?
For the growing, elderly, or those who don't get enough sunlight.
Or fish.
For the life of her, she couldn't understand why he'd give her such a thing--she was energetic wasn't she? She was strong enough, she was capable--and she got enough sunlight. There wasn't a day that passed that she would not take advantage and run outside into the world; rain, sun or otherwise. Life was too short to stay stationary. She knew this well. She'd almost lost the life she'd been given upon the bridge that night, using the Blanks to pull the worlds apart.
She didn't know how she survived, but she wasn't going to waste it.
And she--well, she was technically a shinigami. Would something like this really work on her? Granted, she could eat the same food as he did; and it would replenish her energy just the same--but would a calcium supplement really even have an effect? Wasn't their physiology different? Wouldn't it have to be something made of spiritrons, or some other otherworldly substance? She wasn't even really running on reiatsu. She was running on something different---the power of the Blanks, which, for all explanations should have faded by now---but, here she stood, an anomaly of an anomaly.
Which made her time on this earth unknown, and most likely limited.
Wait.
Another thought stepped forward on the heels of the last as she stared at the tiny vessel, making her smile brightly. She hoped it was right.
Gripping a hand upon the lid, she twisted it, a small 'pop' resounding as the seal broke. Tipping the end of the bottle upward, she shook one of the strange pills into her hand. Placing it on her tongue, she closed her mouth around it, grimacing slightly at the bitter taste of the medicine. But, it was for Ichigo, so she'd at least try. Especially if it was for the reason she thought he did this.
As she tried to swallow the pill back, she felt a pair of arms wrap about her, feeling a kiss upon her cheek, and a warm voice in her ear.
"...I'm glad you're taking them." Sweet, soft, familiar. She knew who the voice belonged to; the same who had saved her from the Dark Ones, and given her the pills. The one she almost died for. She swallowed thickly, finally forcing the pill down with a small cough.
"Why?" She asked, slightly because she knew he expected her to, but mostly because she wanted to know if she had been right in her conjectures.
A chuckle escaped his lips, as embraced her tighter.
"If we make you stronger, maybe...you won't fade."
She had been right. With this thought, her smile softened, as she leaned farther into his arms.
"As long as you're with me, I never will."
