A/N: Ukkiyo is a word that means kinda like... 'gloomy life' or 'gloomy place' and was a euphemism for the life led by samurai and many war lords after the wars ended and they found themselves useless on the battlefield, but still holding noble stations. They wasted most of their time and money on women, sake, and gambling. 'The Floating City' is a euphemism for the infamous pleasure district that sprung up in Edo, about 200 years after the end of InuYasha... The place where you could just drift along like a petal on the current. Aimless and unfocused.
"Peace is a curse for those who thrive on war."
"Peace is a curse for those who thrive on war." She bats her bloodshot eyes and relaxes again, stifling the cough that goes unmedicated.
"I don't pay for your philosophy, Rin." He admonishes drunkenly, laying back and staring off into space.
"Why do you call me 'Rin'?" She cocks her head to the side, flashes a genuine smile and he watches the hair she's insisted on pulling to the side bounce around.
Because no one else could ever smell so much like…
He takes another swig of sake, "It's not important."
"And just what is it you think you pay for? You get me here, all alone and then…" She blushes and bats her eyes, letting the neckline of her kimono droop down to flash white-painted skin.
He doesn't react. He never does. He isn't paying her for that. It's why she chose him to be her benefactor.
"…Nothing."
She gives a smirk and takes another deep inhale off of her opium pipe, noting how very… muted everything has become. A deep sigh, and she reclines back into his lap and she's just drifting… heavy and light and not happy or sad.
Just drifting.
He closes his eyes, filters out the foul opium and sake, and lets himself get a good whiff of the only thing this girl has in common with her previous incarnation.
That scent…
And then he's drifting too; awash in memories of his precious girl.
His dead girl. So long ago…
Drifting in memories...
"I pay… to drift."
