Hisana was very fond of walks. The exercise did her a great deal of good, despite the chill of winter. It was advised that she not spend more than half an hour outdoors with the snow so thick and the temperature so dismal. But the sickness no longer had a claim upon her, and she had to admit that it was a somewhat guilty indulgence of hers. She'd been bedridden for weeks before she'd passed away. How good it was to move about upon her own two feet again!

Bundled up warmly by the servants, she plotted her course through the streets that would lead her on a circuit past the fields and houses of lesser families, to the inner court of the city where the thirteen squads held sway, and back again.

It was at the peak of her route that a man with short, spiky black hair abrupt landed in front of her, drawing Hisana to an abrupt halt. Surprise was writ clearly upon her expressive features, her indigo eyes wide. A shinigami? Admittedly, not an unusual sight here in Las Muertes, but where had he come from?

Yay for dead people! fightsforpride December 13 2009, 10:27:15 UTC
Hey hey, there was a familiar face! She looked a little older and tireder, but how could Kaien not recognize Kuchiki? He grinned down at her, then grabbed her around the neck, getting his favorite littlest noble into a headlock and scrubbing his knuckles over her head.

"Kuchiki!" He wasn't going to let her go, not any time soon. If Rukia wanted to get away from Kaien, she'd have to do it under her own power! The best part of it was that he could get away with calling it a training exercise. "Hey, what's with this!"

He dug his knuckles into her scalp a little more roughly. "Oi! And what the hell is with this silence? 'Hello, Kaien-dono'. Come on now, Kuchiki, don't tell me I've been away so long that you've forgotten how to be polite!"

A startled cry fell from Hisana's lips as she was roughly jerked forward and promptly given her very first noogie. Considering the circumstances, she didn't receive it as the gesture of affection Kaien meant it to be.

"P-please! Unhand me!" she stammered, her fragile little heart beating like a bird's as she clutched at his arm. Her own power? It was not very mighty.

She winced as he manhandled her noble scalp, whimpering. He knew her name. Why did she not know his? ...Kaien-dono? Was he a noble? Perhaps one of the nobility's children, now grown? "F...forgive me, I do not recall you...!"

If she suddenly died at him, he'd be pretty traumatised. fightsforpride December 18 2009, 19:32:26 UTC
What was this about? Please unhand me? Kaien stopped giving Hisana her very first noogie and looked down at her, rather confused about Rukia's actions. Usually by now she'd have tossed his arm away, or at least begged Kaien-dono to leave her head alone. But there was none of that!

And then Kuchiki said she didn't 'recall' him. That was what really made Kaien let go of her and look down at her face. weird, she looked like Rukia, an older, kinda sadder version of her. He focused on her reiatsu... or lack thereof. What the heck was this?

"Kuchiki Rukia?" Had he been mistaken? Or ... had Rukia actually done the unforgivable and forgotten him?

Ukitake received the Hell Butterfly as he was pruning his bonsai for the last time before storing them over the winter months. The message... that voice...

His heart seemed to stop cold in his chest, hope warring in his heart with distrust, knowing Aizen's new ability to raise the dead he almost dared believe it might be true. But why send Kaien back to him? Why return him someone so long gone?

Placing the shears carefully down, he touched the hilt of his zanpakutou gently with one finger before bursting into rare shunpo to meet Kaien halfway. Those clothes were the first thing he saw, and an uncharacteristic rage filmed his eyes.

How dare they sully the memory of Kaien!

"Stop!"

Kaien was getting kind of pissed off with the way people were reacting to him. They'd just run off and leave without so much as 'hello' or a 'who the hell are you?' or a 'Get away from me, freak!' That wasn't how people reacted to him! Not at all ( ... )

Sougyo no Kotowari was free from its sheathe in a fraction of a heartbeat, even the sound of the sibilant hiss coming too late to warn before the tip of his blade was at the indent of Kaien's throat.

"How did you get here?"

He stepped forward, stopping himself when he felt the cold steel at his throat. Had Ukitake-taichou gone mad? Why was he pulling a sword on him? Did he stink?

"Taichou?" How did he get here? This didn't seem to be a joke. Ukitake-taichou wouldn't pull a sword on his subordinate as a joke. Kaien tried to grin.

"Aizen-taichou dropped me off here. Well, not here actually, quite a ways back. I walked this far, taichou. My turn to ask a question! Why are you pointing your sword at me?"
