一次她被死亡利刃相向时一般……
原来，自己还没有强大到，可以完全地欺瞒心的愿望……
默默看着浅草瞳低着头，不愿再看他，紧闭的唇线下抿，白玉般的大掌抚上她的头，带着淡淡安抚的温柔。
“……浅草，不要离我太远……你是我……”向来不带半丝犹豫的冷清嗓音似有迟疑，“……的副队。”仿佛带着淡淡叹息的尾音，消散在偌大的房间里，却像滴入清泉中的毒药，绝艳地在水中蔓延侵蚀，围住了那颗踌躇不定的心……
死神是高傲而孤独的，却矛盾地以团体的形式存在。超越轮回之外，不断地拯救灵魂，不断地目睹同伴友人死去，不断地挥刃，为了各自认同的道路，保护魂魄的同时，也在保护着自己那颗遍历沧桑的心。
荏苒千年，也不一定找到一直相伴的同伴。这种同伴的羁绊，在队长和副队长中体现得最为深刻。被立于顶端的人认同为副队，真正承认为自己不可或缺的可靠后背，付出生死相托信任的，其实很少……
不可或缺的后背么……也好，不在他的庇护之下，能够成为他足以信赖的同伴，也不是坏事……
“是，朽木队长！”缓缓勾起一抹笑意，无论有着怎样的过去，都已经跟她无关了。接受朽木白哉这份信任的，是浅草瞳，她只要站在他身后，在他需要的时候出现，便可以了……
看出浅草瞳的想法，平静无澜的墨玉，渐掩上一层她看不懂的迷雾……
“少爷，午膳已经备好。”老管家恭敬的声音自门外响起，散去诡昧不清的氛围。
白玉般的大掌缓缓收回，波澜渐消的墨玉恢复平静，冷清的声调扬起，“进来吧。”
管家一进门便看到手臂上系着六番副队臂章的浅草瞳坐在朽木白哉对面朝他尴尬一笑，素来古板的脸上闪过一丝讶异，下弯的嘴角却始终没有任何波动，恭敬地向两人行礼。
“少爷，是否现在用膳？”
“恩，布菜完你们便退下吧。”由仆人解下圣白色手套，用温度适宜的泉水净手，墨玉望着非常自觉地溜去隔壁茶水室洗手的娇小背影，闪过一抹无法捕捉的情绪。
半年……其实很短很短……
作者有话要说：

ORZ,偶发现越来越难写了……
