It was months ago when he’d found you,surrounded by bodies of other predators that tried to corner you in an alleyway in the black market,You had this blank expression as you craned your head up towards him,Your claws and forearms covered in blood before you quickly flicked your arms down with one motion…

He’d seen your potential,your blunt and cold ferociousness,The perfect example of what the shishigumi needed remembered..

He had been walking through the dark and damp alleyways settling by a corner to lean back against the wall before pulling out a cigarette and lighter;quickly drawing a deep slow breath.He Had ended up behind the popular bar for all sorts of occasions primarily bad ones…today was different due for the silence in the inside quickly followed by the flurry of heavy guitars,drums,And the occasional vocalist.

Ibuki was never the one to really listen to music,if he would it would be whatever station was on his cars radio while going about his business.Silently listening to the muffled lyrics and rhythm of the drums something pulling his curiosity in as he quickly flicked his cigarette away and entered the bar.

He’d seen your black and red leather jacket perched on a stool quickly realizing you were on the stage being a backup singer and guitarist,He was amused in some sort of way noticing someone elses life besides his own…It seemed Normal for once in his life.He quietly admired your movements on stage and your cold demanding presence and sharp gaze as you focused-idly ordering a drink or two;Not quite sure why…

your gaze meets his almost like you expected it he gazes back not pulling away

He quietly waves nonchalantly before pushing the second drink to the side your jacket was on
