(no subject)
Who: Byakuya Kuchiki ( xnoble_reasonx ) & Kaien Shiba ( heartbetween )
When: Just before dawn on December 30th
Where: Town Square/??
Format: Paragraph--Past Tense
What: Kaien has a surprise for Byakuya.
Warnings: None.
Shiba...
For as long as he could remember, he was a serious bother that never ceased to impose himself or his opinions. It didn't change even after he died, having plagued the house with a heavy cloud that hung solely over his sister, years and years after his death. An unreliable man whose reckless ideals got in the way, causing everyone involved to be dragged under for his selfish reasons.
Even here, he was unable to escape Kaien Shiba, forced to endure his voice, a voice he knew to be in the cycle of rebirth, a voice that shouldn't have existed any longer, on this network. The only other shinigami here, the only one he knew enough of to be able to at least entrust his back to him should the need ever arise, he had to tolerate him. That was not to say that he trusted Shiba himself, but he knew his skills, had heard the tales, even witnessed them from a distance. He was a capable warrior, worthy of his title. Byakuya knew when to acknowledge a shinigami's skill, even if he saw nothing else.
He didn't understand why he'd agreed to meet with him. He didn't even know why he'd bothered to answer half of the transmissions he'd seen, or eat with him on occasion. Survival. Perhaps that was all it was, adapting to the need to survive, even if it meant relying on someone he had great disdain for.
It no longer mattered, he supposed. Shiba may have had some valuable information he couldn't share over the network, or wanted to investigate something. He didn't care for the 'surprise', really. It was something he could have done without a thousand times over, but he was willing to step down for a moment and hear what the fallen noble had to say before he deemed it unworthy of his time. After all, Shiba had given him a rather nice surprise during this 'Christmas' holiday.
Despite the cold, Byakuya approached the meeting place with little incident, searching out the man he'd agreed to meet with against his better judgment. "Shiba. Be quick." He was giving up sleep for this...
