Untitled

Around noon Kasumi and Renjii stop in favor of a short rest, both covered in scores of wounds that the other had inflicted, by this time it's become fairly clear to Renjii that there was something other then training on Kasumi's mind that was eatting away at her but knew better then to ask. even with her sweat Kasumi still smelt of Chinese bellflowers because she used the scent so often that it had pretty much became part of her unique scent. She lifts her head tilting it back feeling the cool breeze blowing her hair unaware that that same breeze is carrying her scent towards Byakuya. the scent is undenyable even tainted with the scent of her blood mixed into it.
"Mmm this is good!" Chowing down through the impressive spread of food in front of him. Ukitake lifted his dark wandering gaze to meet that of the 6th Division Captain staring off not to far in the horizon. Clearly his mind was preoccupied with other thoughts and..he was busy trapped in his mind to eat..and.. "Hey..you are you gonna eat that?" Motioning to the bowl of extra hot Curry sitting in front of the Noble lord. A large, ear to ear grin spread across the face of the sickly man. "No, you can have it.." Shoeing the plate across the table to the starving silver haired Shinigami. Byakuya's nostrils slowly caught a faint whiff of such an ohh so familiar scent. "Chinese Bellflowers.." Propping his chin into the palm of his hand.
A small, ever so faint smirk spread across his thin pink lips. "Perhaps you shouldnt eat so fast.." Waving off his coughing fit as it was nothing, Ukitake placed the spoon next the bowl and began chowing through a different plate of food. "How do you eat like that?" Byakuya questioned, just sitting thier watching in awe at the massive chow down being witnessed. "Its a gift, yeah.." Talking through a mouthful of food. Ukitake let out an exasperated sigh one he got it all down. "So whats on your mind Captain Kuchiki? You seem rather pre-occupied with something." Turning his gaze off the questioning man. Byakuya merely shrugged off the questions as it was nothing, and turned his attention onto the blowing wind. "Its nothing.."
Kasumi yawns some then stretches before prodding Renjii to start again, and they do much to Renjii's grumbling. Her determination much stronger then it had been before. She is still suffering with her shame of failure. She renews her fight, Not realizing that with the more she sweats the stronger the scent of flowers leaves her body thickening the scent on the breeze. "Hey, where are you going?" Ukitake asked, watching as the black haired Shinigami started trailing off down the road. Not bothering to even use flash steps to escape from him. "I forgot to attend to some business." Was all that was said before he disappeared completly from the silver locked swordsman's sight. "Ughh Captain Kuchiki.." Shaking his head with a bit of a laugh, Ukitake turned his attention back to the meal of kings spread out in front of him.
"Mmm.." Following the scent of Bellflowers. Byakuya was led throughout Soul Society on an aimless search, just like he had last night. Before arriving on the scene of Kasumi and Renji's training session. Making sure to well stay out of the visible line of sight. Byakuya watched from afar as the two continued their spar. All in the while enjoying the faint scent of Bellflowers drifting through the blowing breeze. Kasumi is going hard on Renjii forcing him to up the power of his attacks. Her bangs are plastered against the sides of her face with sweat, when she snarls at Renjii, "Stop going easy on me dammit!! I'll never get stronger if you treat me like a weakling!" She moves towards Renjii willing to hurt him if he didn't step up his game a bit.
Watching with the utmost curiousity. Byakuya's dark, scanning eyes slowly began taking in the entire fight between his Liutenant and his newest Division member. One thing that caught him a bit off guard was the constant badgering of Renji to step up his game. It was obvious that Renji could easilly step up his game with Bankai, but that wouldnt do anyone any good. Nodding his head slightly, the Captain of the 6th Division jumped from the tree branch he was standing on and proceeded to draw in closer to the fight scene. She fights like a wildcat, her skin gaining a slight red tint as her own blood begins coating her skin but Renjii isn't looking much better. Her whole attention on Renjii and their fight meaning that she misses the approaching pressure. They would have to stop this, this training was getting out of hand rather quickly.
Quickly approaching the battle field, he hoped his presence alone would be enough to stop this battle from consuming, and allowing anymore injuries to occur onto them. Blood already heavily littered the once alluring scent of Wild Bellflowers. Their was no need to push ones self to the point of death just for the chance to get stronger. "Stop right now.." He called out, his voice as serene and apathetic as always. She freezes hearing his voice and then manages to jump backwards, this was bad, she didn't know captain Kuchiki was anywhere near by. and now matters were worse, not only did she fail him in battle last night but now he proved how worthless she is to him by stopping her spar with Renjii.
Wavering in the swiftly blowing wind, the dark gaze of the white scarfed Shinigami pulled from Kasumi to Renji and back again. Slowly taking in all their little wounds, and skin now drenched a nice crimson color. He couldnt afford really any injuries to his squad at this time. After Gin's and the other two ex Captain's departures from the Gotei 13. The other squads were left picking up the slack, including his. "Clean up your wounds.." Byakuya instructed, the loose folds in his clothing dancing wildly in the drifting breeze. She looks down chastized and again angry with herself. She reaches up ripping one of her sleeves off and begins to whipe her skin down to get rid of the excess blood. revealing the wounds on her weren't bad. Then feeling upset with herself she reaches up again ripping the other sleeve off and moves to Renjii and begins wiping the excess blood off him that she could reach, she felt guilty for ripping into her friend like that just because of her own weakness.
Watching as the two cleaned their wounds, and regathered themselves. Byakuya slowly turned away with a sigh. Now that they had cleared things up, and their was no chance of further injury they could get on to their duties. "Renji, theirs a Liutenants meeting you have to get to, and Kasumi. I recieved an invitation for you from the Womens Shinigami Association." It would be smart for her to take such an inviation and make some friends here in Soul Society. It would be a good growing expierence for her here.She blinks at him, "The what?" she'd clearly never heard of the WSA. "Its a place where the women of Soul Society gather and be women." The dark haired Shinigami replied, his hands fidning a place across his chest. "Ive attended meetings when Rukia has been absent. You should fit in fine if you make an effort to fit in." She looks first confused then somewhat stunned, the other female shinigami had made no secret of their extreme dislike of her. she takes a deep breath, "When?"
"In about a hour or so.." The white scarfed Noble replied, watching as Renji left for his meeting as well. The Captains meeting had already taken place today, as to why he and Ukitake had spent time together afterwards. "I'll make sure Rukia is with you when you go, so you know where it is." Byakuya replied, his arms once again falling limp to his side. Truth was, he had, with Rukia's help of course. Gotten the self proclaimed 'porno' wench an invite with a few favors with the leader of the WSA. She nods, that ment if she hurried she could get cleaned up first. "Then I'll return. I need to get cleaned up and changed into a new uniform." she turns and flees embarassed again, and trying not to oggle her captain. She gets back to her home, slips into her body, showers quickly, then pushes herself back out with a new uniform on.
With a soft sigh she reenters soul society. "Rangiku.." Watching curiously as the ample breasted woman barged into his personal study. Byakuya leaned to his left to see if her Captain was caught standing behind her. He had been told by Ukitake earlier in the day that Toshiro had soemthing he wanted to talk with him about. He was just expecting a more of a face to face encounter. Rather then by extension of Liutenants. "What do you need?" He finally asked, slightly perturbed with the woman's antics. "Geez, not even a hello, huh Byakuya-san.." The strawberry blonde woman teased, handing the scarf wearing captain a personal telegram from her icy haired captain. "He's not expecting you now, but later on he asks for you to accompany him." Casually looking over the letter addressed to him. Byakuya turned his dark wandering gaze back onto the 10th division Liutenant. "Dont you have the Vice Captain meetings to be attending?"
Shaking her head with a slight chuckle, she once again turned her gaze onto the handsome captain. "Is Rukia-chan gonna make it..or are you gonna fill in for her again Byakuya-san.." He might have to. He hadnt seen Rukia all day, and if she didnt make it. It would be up to him to take her place. "If she cant make it.." Closing his eyes with a faint smile. Byakuya placed the letter back onto the pile of corresponance littering his desk. She moves through the streets slowly, searching for Rukia. Not finding her she finally just hops up onto a roof and sits on the edge, well what was she supposed to do now? "I suggest you go find that new little girl of yours and bring her yourself. I heard Rukia is still in the Human world, so it looks like your gonna be joining us yet again Captain Byakuya-sama.."
Turning to leave the personal study of the black haired captain. The ample breasted woman stopped in midstride. "Ohh, and I would suggest showing a little emotion when your voted for the Captain we desire to release a photo book for.." Teasing the captin with a non chelant wave. The Vice Captain of the 10th Division disappeared from complete sight. Leaving the scarf wearing Captain sitting in his desk, apatheticly staring forward. He wasnt exactly looking forward to going now that he knew that, and with Renji stuck in meetings as well. "Mm.." Standing up with a soft sigh, Byakuya disappeared from his office, and out into the street. It was time once again to follow the scent of Chinese Bellflowers." She continues to sit there, leaning back with her hands on the roof and looking up at the sky. At the moment it looks like she would be missing that meeting because she had no guide and no idea where it was being held.
"Rukia cant make it.." Appearing behind the sitting girl, with an emotionless stare. Byakuya Kuchiki of the 6th Division waited for the young woman to stand up and join him. "Do you still feel like going?" He asked, his nose catching the slightest whiff of Chinese Bellflowers once again. He wouldnt force her to go if she didnt want to. It would help her sure, but if she didnt want to. Then that was her decision. Her eyes shift from the sky to focus on him before blinking and rising to stand near where she was sitting, "I am not sure why they would even extend an invitation to me, however I figure if they are going to make any effort then I suppose I should try as well." "Alright.." Nodding slightly, the captain of the 6th Division motioned for her to follow him.
They still had some time, so their was no need to flash step their. "Follow me.." Leaping from the roof and dropping softly to the ground below, Byakuya started off down the road in a slow, effortless trudge. She jumps down to follow him her eyes on the ground to avoid staring. She is sure he'd have her head on a silver platter if he realized where her thoughts strayed more and more."Whats wrong?" Byakuya asked, not bothering to turn around and confront her face to face. Although he can more the tell that she was completly at odds with him, and was even going to great lengths to avoid him completly. "If you dont want to go you dont have to.." "There's nothing wrong Captain. Just thinking." Which for all intents and purposes is true, she just wasn't willing to admit what was on her mind. "And I do need to go. If only to attempt to get along with other women."
"Then why have you been avoiding me since yesterday?" He asked once again, reminding her that she was completly frank with him after the fight, and even was angry that he was even their to help her. "I wont ask the samea question again..so if you want to tell me..then do it now." "I haven't been avoiding anyone. I just don't get along with many people." she continues to look down she refused to tell him that she was having to deal with her failure then this unacceptable urge to jump him every time she saw him. Stopping in midstride and turning to face her. Byakuya stood in an emotionless stare continiously gazing up and down her body. Their was something she wasnt telling him, and he didnt want to push it, but it was getting a tad annoying. She had o problem telling the truth to him before, now it seemed she felt more keen to keep secrets from him. He didnt like secrets being kept from him..
She manages to stop before walking into him and looks up startled, "Captain?" She wasn't sure why he was looking at her like that, so she just stands there after crossing her arms across her chest, which of course is mostly to keep the tips of her breasts completely under cover because she could feel her nipples starting to harden. Continuing to stare at the body frame he had become deadlocked with. Byakuya watched for any visible signs of what was bothering her to cross her body, and even then. All she could do was cross her arms across her chest and look away from him. Was she that disgusted with him that she couldnt even muster the strength to make eye contact with him. "I'll ask you one final time..and after this..not a single time again. Why do you despise me?"
She blinks as she looks at him, "What ever gave you the idea I despised you captain?" Returning her remark with only a series of blinks. Byakuya slowly took a step forward. The baggy rolls in his clothing wavering in the blowing breeze with the ends of his scarf and dark silken locks of hair. He gave her no immediate answer, just continious staring for the one visible body movement that would tell him everything he needed to know. "I see.." Closing his eyes slightly,Byakuya shifted his weight from foot to foot. "Then why cant you muster enough strength to even tell me whats going on?" She bites her lower lip, a very faint blush staining her cheeks as she looks down again. It shouldnt be like him to care so much...so why was he pushing the subject repeatedly? Clearly something was upsetting her, and he was only making it worse, so what was the point in continuing. Staring wide eyed and completly at wits end with the current situation. "Do you want to go back to my study and not have to go to the meeting."
He thought that maybe with him their, she'd be able to muster enough strength to sit in a room with women that were slightly in despise of her. However, it looked like that was no longer a possibility as she was seemingly stopped dead in her tracks talking with him. She takes a step back ready to bolt, "th..that's reallly n..not a g..good i..idea....." she apologizes softly and turns on her heel fleeing, she couldn't it is unacceptable, the dampness she could feel is unacceptable. She flees for the human world and dives back into her body before filling the tub with a hot bubble bath and sinking into it. She felt like an idiot, and worse she'd managed to nearly tell him that she didn't despise him the exact opposite actually and that too is unacceptable. Returning to his study, Byakuya picked up the loose leaflet that was given to him before. He was expected sometime tonight by the 10th Division Captain. However, in light of his members fleeing from spirit world and back into the safety of the world of human's.
Byakuya was torn between two small different concundrums. "Renji.." Handing the note to the auburn haired Shinigami. Byakuya stepped past the young man with only a slight nod before disappearing from his study. Kasumi sinks deep into the water her hands tracing over her body her fingers delicately rubbing over her damp flesh. She could still feel that dampness that has nothing to do with the water she's currently submerged in and one hand slips a little further down to try and ease her tension. "Well your the last person I thought would come here in a human body.." Urahara stepped out from behind the counter with a taunting smirk. "Dont worry your visit here is just between you and me.." Slinging an arm over the shoulder of the suited dark haired man. Urahara directed him out of his shop. "See ya later.." Waving Byakuya off, the hatted man watched in utter amusement as he walked off. Figures his body would consist of a suit and all that, still kinda funny. "Hmm.."
Carefully walking through the town, Byakuya walked street to street trying to find the apartment building he was at last night. Finding it was proving to be more of a chore then he thought. Her eyes close as she gets shivers. Her hands movign a bit faster on her body. Knocking on the door, Byakuya waited paitently for the young Shinigami to come answer it. This looked like the apartment he was at yesterday, plus..his nose didnt lie. Chinese Bellflowers were wreaking through the air, and that was a common occurence with her. She groans as she takes her hands off her body without getting any relief but climbs out of the tub, wraps a big fluffy bath towel around her then slipping on a yukata to cover herself. She walks towards the front door her body still wet, she opens the door and steps back her eyes wide 'what the hell?? what is he doing here??'
"I wasnt done with our conversation.." Replying with an apathetic stare directed towards the dripping wet girl. Byakuya crossed his arms across his chest, his nostrils catching a fresh whiff of Chinese Bellflowers. "Now that you've had time to cool off. Explain to me what that scene you made back their was all about." She sighs as seh back tracks allowing him entry. This was not good. "there is really nothing to explain. I wasn't comfortable and decided it was best for me to return here without causing problems for anyone." which was the truth, she could feel herself getting closer and closer to jumping him.
"You werent comfortable with my offer or the idea of going to the Shinigami Women's Association meetings" Slowly walking past her and taking comfort into her humble abode. The dark searching eyes of Byakuya Kuchiki in his human world outfit of a black suit and white tie scanned carefully around the nice little apartment. She settles down on the couch careful to remain covered, "I wasn't comfortable period. I know those women Hate me for something that they don't understand." she sighs softly looking down at her hands which are clasped in her lap. Cracking a slight smirk, Byakuya started a slow trudge around the small apartment. It wasnt something he was used to. As one of nobility he was subject to the finer things in life, not confined to a 2 bedroom apartment in the city. "Alright..I understand.." Stopping by her kitchen, and catching an even stronger whiff of Chinese Bellflowers he turned to face the back of the sitting girl. "If thats the way you feel, I wont push you to go to the meetings.."
She nods and lets out a soft sigh, "Thank you." She feels better however she can still feel that urge to jump him which the only sign of it is her toes curling and uncurling against the floor. "Chinese Bellflowers are my favorite.." Strolling back towards the front of the apartment. Byakuya's hands found themselves nustled deeply into his pockets. His gaze shifting back and forth between her and the door. He came here to get his answer, and he did. "You look busy..im sorry for interrupting you.." A faint blush stains her cheeks again, "It was ineveitable with my running away instead of just anwsering your question." her voice is a little husky when she speaks.
"Why did you run away, anyway.." He asked curiously, stopping mere inches away from the door. He knew she was uncomfortable with the entire situation back their, but still. To really run away like that..it was a bit uncalled for if he did say so himself. she blinks, "I hate having to explain myself. and I wasn't sure I could do it without becoming rude." that of course wasn't the entire truth but as long as he accepted it he would leave and she could go back and try to get some relief. "I still get the feeling you dont trust me.." Smirking slightly, Byakuya's hand reached for the door handle. Unfortunatly their was nothing he could do about that. However, this whole new member fiasco was turning into a little bit more trouble then he had originally expected. "Anyways..have a good day.." Opening the door that led out of the apartment.
The suited man stepped out. If he hurried back..he MIGHT have a chance at making the meeting with the 10th Division Captain. As soon as the door is closed she runs for the bathroom and strips down. replenishing the hot water in the tub and sinks into it her hands immediately going back to where they had been before the interruption. Strolling out onto the street, the captain of the 6th Division slowly trailed across the street to a small clearing filled with benches and other seatings. Stopping by an unoccupied bench the black haired Shinigami sat down with a soft sigh. His hands wreaking havoc throughout his pockets. He didnt even wanna really make it back to Soul Society. It had been so long since he ahd last been here. He should take the time to explore a bit, and get re-aquainted with the city.
She finally gains her relief and then just settles into the water finally relaxing. Her only embarassment was that his name had been whispered into the breeze when she had but since he was heading back to soul society it shouldn't be an issue. Strolling back up the stairs to his female Shinigami's apartment. Byakuya's ears perked to the faint whisper of his name. Shrugging the strange sensation off. The dark haired Shinigami trailed back up tot he apartment, step by step until finally reaching the door. She is relaxing in the tub again the fresh scent of Chinese BellFlowers seeping out into the hall through her front door. Her eyes are closed, her body completely lax.
Knocking at the door once again, the black haired Shinigami felt like nothing but a complete annoyance. However it had been a long time since he was last here, so he needed a guide. Plus, he just loved the smell of Chinese bellflowers..maybe thats why he just kept coming back. She grumbles as she lets the water out of the tub and wraps the yukata back around her dripping body. She just couldn't catch a break today.
She walks out anwsering the door stunned to see him standing there but steps back to allow him entrance. She could only be thankful that her yukata is a pale grey instead of white because white would have been cellophane with her damp body and dripping hair. "I dont know much places to go.." The suited man replied, stepping past the soaking wet girl and into her humble abode once again. "So Im stuck knowing your apartment and thats it.." He hadnt had much time to remeber how to get around, and he didnt want to end up lost and having to call for help. She laughs softly, "Been a long time since you had any time to wander over here hasn't it?" "I dont take pride in my helplessness.." He spoke apathetically, before slowly moving over to the couch. "I just dont wanna go back to Soul Society yet.."
She shrugs one sholder, "Well if you're planning to be here any amount of time then I need to get dressed." she closes the door and heads towards her bedroom. so much for having just gained relief with him here it was only going to become a problem again. She dresses in a simple pair of black slacks and a unadorned pale blue t-shirt then comes back out her hair being pulled back in a ponytail then she walks to the phone, "Have you ever tried human food?" it was a simple curiosity question. "On occasion I have.." He replied taking a seat not to far away in one of the stray chairs in the room. He hadnt in a long time, due to him not being here in this world. "Is their anything spicy?" He asked, figuring that she would be getting some sort of food delivered here, and he was one to enjoy his spicy foods.
She laughs softly, "Thai food." she picks up a menu and carries it over to him before moving back and picking up another one scanning it as she tries to decide what she wants. "This looks good.." He walked over and pointed to the last item on the menu. His nose in the meantime, taking in all the fragrances that seemed to jump off her body and stick themselves to him. Such a vivid array of aroma's were definitly something that caught his fancy. "I'll pay you bay when we return to Soul Society.." Unfortunatly he didnt have any money here and couldnt exactly pay his own way for his meal. However, he would make it up to her. She nods and picks up the phone calling his in first then hanging up and calling the second place to order her own food. After a few moments she hangs up, "They say it'll be about a half hour." she turns to walk to the couch and has to stop short not realizing he was still standing so close.
Her pulse jumping when she comes face to face with him. "Alright.." Slowly taking a step around her. Byakuya slowly made his way back to his seat and sat down. One leg resting ontop of another, he looked up to the girl staring daggers at him like he did something wrong. "Do I have something on my face?" he asked curiously trying to find a mirror to see for himself. She blinks, "No it's just I wasn't expecting you to be right there when I turned around." she moves over and plops ungracefully onto the couch, "Not that it's any of my buisness but why didn't you want to return to soul society?" her curiousity getting the better of her. "When your their as long as I am..sometimes you need a break.." Yes, even Captains like himself needed breaks sometimes and this was the ebst way to relax.
"Especially with the recent work pile ups.." Waving his hand non chelantly. The black haired Shinigami turned his attention around the small room. Noticing all the small little trinkets lining the walls and desks. The small things that make a home...a home. "I can understand. I don't think I would have survived if I didn't have here to retreat to." she lays back her head closing her eyes. Her body splayed on the couch in an undignified but very comfortable manner. Yawning slightly, Byakuya stood from his seat and went off to do a little exploring around the apartment. Getting to see all the different little things up close and personal. "Did you enjoy your bath?" He asked curiously, picking up a picture of Kasumi and the rest of her family. "hm? Oh yes. Very much so." her cheeks have a faint blush staining them a faint rose.
her eyes are still closed so she doesn't know where he is at the moment other then the fact that he is moving about the room. Strolling around the room until finally coming back around to see her laying peacefully and undisturbed on the couch. The dark wandering eyes of Byakuya Kuchiki watched for a few moments as the young Shinigami relaxed after her bath. The scent of bellflowers still lingering off her body.. "food should be here soon." her words are echoed by a knock. she climbs to her feet pulls out a couple of bills and walks to the door, smirking when she sees both delivery guys in the hall way and takes the food paying for it then closes the door behind her. she sniffs both bags then carries them over handing him one. "Here."
Taking the bag with a slight whiff of his own. Byakuya retreated to the kitchen area his food in hand. "It smells delicious.." Laying his black coat over the back of his chair. The dark haired SHinigami took a seat readying to chow down. She smiles heading out behind him and taking her own seat. If he thought the sick captain could eat then he was in for a suprise because out of her bag comes a meal fit for a queen. and she is having no problem putting down all that food either. "You and Ukitake..I dont know who can eat more.." Tucking a napkin into the neck of his undershirt. Byakuya went to work diligently eating the spicy...thai..yes thai food that was it. It was good...he was relativly surprised.. She chuckles after she swallows, "High metabololic rate. I have to consume a lot of food to keep going." She goes back to eating.
"Heh..I guess thats a good thing.." Allowing a faint smile to cross his lips. The Kuchiki headmaster gently dabbed his lips of excess food before going back to eating again. He took back what he said before..this was quite possibly one of the best things hes had in a LONG time. "I might spend the night in human world.." He spoke, turning his dark gazing eyes onto the eating woman. "Im sure Urahara has a room for me. We can go back to Soul Society tomorrow, together..with Renji.." She snickers, "Urahara huh? Be careful captain. I've heard he's not picky and will try to climb into bed with anyone that stays with him." she goes back to eatting.
"Ive known Urahara for awhile..he used to be Captain of the 12th Division.." Laying down his eating utensils with a satisfied smile. He turned his attenion back onto the still chowing girl. "Plus if he did try, he'd find the sharp end of Senbonzakura very alluring.." She just laughs as she puts away the last of the food, "I suppose so. hmmm...." she gets up and takes care of the trash, "But somehow he seems like he might enjoy it." she shrugs as she sits back down. "Enjoy being cut to shreds by Senbonzakura..im sure he would find that more then demoralizing to his cause." Getting a slight chuckle out of that. He closed his food container and brought it over to her. "Its not like I have money for a room anyway.."
She takes care of the container, "true. But then again there are always those that live in the human world." she felt bad, the guest room always stood empty but she wasn't willing to change his mind if he was set on staying with Urahara. after taking care of the mess she moves back into the living room and plops back down in that same way as before. "Thank you for dinner, but if you are tired. I'll be more the happy to leave for you to rest." Leaving his jacket on the chair end, Byakuya took his time to walk over to the couch area and hear whether or not he was still welcomed here. "Not tired, just getting comfy. It's alright." she sits up sprawling a bit but more upright now. Nodding softly, Byakuya returned to a seat next to the sleepy Shinigami. His hands removing the cufflinks attached by his wrists. "You always do seem very tired. Do you get enough sleep?" He questioned curiously. She was sleepy before, she was sleepy now.
She fell asleep in the tub yesterday. It seemed to be a reaccuring occurence with her. That and the lovely smell of bellflowers. She shakes her head, "I just sleep alot because I have to use more energy then i like to call forward my zanpakuto. so I sleep alot to conserve chakra." "Mmm..it takes years to learn te full strengths of your weapon. Dont try and force it all in a few weeks. It will take you countless years to achieve a level of satisfaction in its art." placing his removed cufflinks on the table. Byakuya slowly leaned into the back cushion of the couch. His eyes to slightly shutting to the comfyness given. She sighs, "I've always been an over-achiever." it was both and reason and and apology though it's ofset by the sheepish smile and half shrug.
