And so begins yet ANOTHER set of Bleach drabbles… will they never end? I was inspired to do this by Celeste1, who is the most awesome drabble-writer in the universe, and got me hooked on the ShuuheixYumichika pairing, which WILL appear in here sometime. Trust me. Review, please! I’m a review whore, so sue me. Wait, don’t, because I don’t own Bleach! Hah! (sticks tongue out at lawyers)

#1: Sandals
Characters: Kisuke
Words: 192
A/N: Yeah, it’s short. But I just HAD to write something about those awesome sandals. C’mon, you know they’re awesome.

Kisuke sighed as he sat down in the chair, removing his sandals and tossing them gently to the floor beside him. Gingerly grasping his left foot, he lifted it to his lap and cross his legs in a 4-shape. Wincing, he began to massage the sore, battered foot.

It was like this almost every night. He would walk around all day, tending to his few customers, fixing things up, following Yoruichi around, and basically wasting time. Then night would fall, and it would be time to close up the shop and turn in for the evening.

Breathing deeply, he dropped his left foot and began massaging the right one.

Most people didn’t understand it. He wasn’t wealthy, not by any means, but he certainly wasn’t pressed for cash. He could definitely afford a more comfortable pair. They were hard to run in, too. They were constantly getting caught, and he often tripped over random things lying in his path. And getting down the ladder to the underground tavern was harder than walking on a beach ball. The damn things really were a pain.

But you had to admit, those sandals were cool.
