A Return to Form? [Byakuya]
Wed Jun 06, 2018 7:52 pm
Was the rumour true?
This was the question on Ryuzawa's mind. It had been on his mind since he had first heard, and that had been about a week ago, though he had only now gathered both the time and the courage to try to find out.
That rumour: Byakuya Kuchiki, master of the venerable noble house and veteran of the Winter War, had returned to his position at the head of the family, after an inscrutable absence. As a person, he was an enigma wrapped in a mystery; as a Shinigami, he was lauded as one of the most dedicated, experienced, and prodigiously skilled in the history of the Gotei. It would be an honour among honours to meet such a distinguished man.
That was, if the rumour was true. Determining that was Ryuzawa's purpose for lurking at the edge of the expansive grounds of the Kuchiki manor. He carried a sketch pad and trio of pencils, and ostensibly was sat in view of the front gates so that he could draw the beautiful facade. In truth, he was using the convenient excuse to observe when the gates opened and see who might pass through, hoping for a glimpse.

28th Kuchiki Head
Word spread around the Seireitei like wildfire.
So, it wasn't much of a surprise that the return of the 28th Head of the Kuchiki Family would be a story that would engulf the Seireitei in short time. Thus, it wasn't much more of a surprise that people would be present at the Manor, aiming to see him and maybe -- for some -- get a few questions in to figure out where he had been, and what his plans were in the future.
All who managed to get what they wanted to say out would be left with silence. It was...overwhelming, for the most part. Being away for so long, only to be bombarded with people wondering where he went. Ergo, over the coming days, Byakuya would be accompanied by servants, of which would be tasked with keeping the various curious people away from him.
Over the course of the next few days as the excitement died down, Byakuya soon dismissed the servants from their task, now able to have some breathing room and take a both metaphorical and literal sigh of relief as he was able to walk among the Manor peacefully once more. So, stepping outside, Byakuya felt himself relaxing as he walked throughout the Manor.
A small burst of nostalgia went through his mind as he approached the place that so long ago, he would train by himself. Devling more into his past, he remembered the times where he would walk with Hisana along the manor. A tinge of sadness occupied him at this -- remembering the woman that he loved, long since dead. Although, the nostalgia was ruined quite a bit by the rather...unplesant memories of Yoruichi in their youth.
Regardless of that, it was safe to say that Byakuya felt leagues more comfortable now than he had throughout the past week or so. But, there was always something that would come up and make the day...unique. Today? While Byakuya certainly wasn't looking at him, the presence that the young man gave off was something that brought the Kuchiki's attention towards him.
"Come out, now. I know you're there."

There - the gate was opening! From his comfortable distance, Ryuzawa watched, and tried not to appear as though he were staring. He cast the odd glance at the page of his sketchbook, where the tall walls and beautiful trees of the compound's exterior were somewhat distractedly taking shape. He looked up again, to find that the opening gateway was... empty? Strange. Back to the page went his eyes, and he raised his pencil to the paper -
"Come out, now. I know you're there."
He lifted his eyes again, and from seemingly out of nowhere, he found a tall, lean, black-haired man in a high-collared haori approaching him. Almost immediately, he felt a lump rise in his throat that he struggled to swallow down; this man and his reiatsu simply radiated authority.
"I-I-I-don't mind me, sir!" he stumbled over himself to get out by way of a response. "Simply drawing the front grounds, and watching to see who comes and goes." The young man looked exactly as uncomfortable as he sounded, as though he feared to be accused of something unsavoury just for sitting there. All the same, he managed to press through to the important question on his lips.
"Forgive me, are you... Lord Kuchiki?"

It seemed that there were still people that excitement still ran with some. While that did prove annoying to him, he remained stoic, gazing at the young man in front of him with a burning, judging stare as he listened to the boy explain himself. He eyed the pen and pad in his hands, an eyebrow raising for a moment before his eyes narrowed. Above everything else, he looked incredibly suspicious.
Getting so close to the Manor, as well as hiding the way that he had was not something that Byakuya saw as just someone who wished to draw the grounds and watch for people exiting and returning. To him, it seemed to be something akin to sabotage. So, at the thought of this, a hand subtly began to move towards his side, pale fingers softly wrapping around the handle of Senbonzakura.
As the grip of his hand tightened and the man readied himself to draw the weapon, the young man asked him a rather interesting question -- asking if he was "Lord Kuchiki". The hand on his weapon slightly loosened as the look in his eyes returned to intrigue -- as opposed to accusingly and hostility -- before his hands returned to the places at his sides, briefly nodding before he finally spoke:
"I am Byakuya Kuchiki, Twenty-eighth and current Head of the Kuchiki Family. I am the former Captain of Squad Six of the late Gotei 13."
The man stood just the slightest bit taller as he named who he was, and who he had been -- the accolades of a time long since passed. His eyes slid shut as he fell silent, taking in a silent, yet deep, breath as his eyes opened once more.
"...Yes. I am 'Lord Kuchiki'."
