"YORUICHI!! GET BACK HERE!!" a young, 18 year old Byakuya Kuchiki shouted at the top of his lungs. He was chasing the Goddess of the Flash herself for his hair band once again, just like he did many years ago, except this time he was using shunpo to speed through the Inuzuri of the Rukongai, which was unfamiliar territory compared to his usual chases through the Seireitei.

He stopped on a rickety wooden bridge to try and track Yoruichi's reiatsu. "I'm too old to play tag…" He said to himself as he closed his eyes. He felt the cool breeze blow through his ebony locks, yet to be restricted by kenseikan. Even though he was not wearing the attire of a noble, he still looked regal, godly even. His traditional shinigami uniform was strained against his broad shoulders and torso. His lean, well-toned, muscular body was one of the reasons that there were many women all across the Seireitei fainting at the sight of him and being rushed to the 4th division hospital. However, he barely seemed to notice or care.

After a few seconds, his smoky gray eyes snapped open and his lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Gotcha." he said and then he was off again, running through the forest.

This was the second time that week that Yoruichi interrupted his training with Senbonzakura to try to achieve bankai. He was already the lieutenant of the 13th squad after being in the Gotei 12 for only two years, the same amount of time that it took for him to graduate from the soul reaper academy. Byakuya had been trying for months to achieve bankai, but he was constantly being interrupted; either by the nobility preparing him to be the next head of the Kuchiki household, or by nuisances like Yoruichi.

"HELP!!" he stopped running and immediately rushed to the source. He saw three men dragging a young woman with dark hair into the depths of the forest. "Shut up girl!" he heard one of them say as she tried screaming once again. He slapped her across the face and began dragging her once again but he was able to go no further. Byakuya was towering over him, Senbonzakura poised at the man's throat.

"I suggest you don't do that again. Let her go." Byakuya said in a low, cold tone he hardly used, save for those that he highly disliked. His voice was as sharp and deadly as his blade.

"Oh yeah, pretty boy?" the man said smiling, displaying his disgustingly crooked yellow teeth, "and what are you doing to do if I don't listen to ya?" The man's comrades latched themselves onto Byakuya's arms, trying to prevent him from moving but in a flash they were on the ground, their eyes wide open in terror as Byakuya's glare pierced through them.

"I won't say it again, let her go or I'll be forced to kill you." he said, his ice-cold tone becoming more threatening by the second.

The other two ran for their lives, while the other stood his ground, either because he was brave or extremely stupid but probably the latter. "No way, this little brat's mine." he smiled maliciously and went to kick the young girl. She cringed and shut her eyes, bracing herself for the impact but nothing happened. The only thing she heard was, "Chire, Senbonzakura…" and then she heard her attacker cry out in pain.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw her attacker on the ground with cuts all over his body. Her eyes only lingered on his lifeless figure for a second because she turned her full attention to her savior. He was holding the hilt of the sword and small glowing pink fragments that looked like cherry blossom petals were drifting towards it. In a brilliant flash of light, the glowing petals were gone and they were replaced by the blade of a zanpakto.

He looked down at her with his gray eyes which no longer looked cold and terrifying like they did before. "Are you alright?" he said stretching out his hand towards her. She immediately grabbed his hand and he pulled her up but she lost her balance and fell into him. Her cheeks flushed bright red as she quickly pulled herself off of him.

"I-I'm so sorry shinigami-sama!" she stammered bowing her head down. As she lifted her head up she caught a glimpse of his lieutenant's armband emblazoned with the number 13.

'A lieutenant!! Crap he's going to kill me!!' She immediately bowed her head down again, "Forgive me for my lack of respect fuku-taichou!!"

She was surprised when she felt two fingers lift up her tiny head to gaze into her rescuer's eyes. "Please," the shinigami said quietly, his gray eyes softening, "call me Byakuya."

Byakuya was just as surprised as the young girl, he was hardly referred to by his first name, it was unheard of for a person of his status to be spoken to so casually and without a title of some sort. His pushed the thought out of his mind and continued, "What is your name, if I may ask?"

The girl's violet eyes opened even wider and her cheeks turned even redder. "it's Hisana…" she said quietly.

"Well, Hisana," he said taking his hand away from her chin, "you need to be more careful around here. I won't always be here to save you."

"I know, Byakuya-sama." Hisana said looking down at the ground. Byakuya was about to say goodbye but Hisana blurted out, "I know that you won't always be here to save me but perhaps you can be here just to visit me every once in a while…"

'Oh my god…I can't believe I just said that…' She expected Byakuya to walk away from her and never even take a second glance but to her surprise he said, "I'd be glad to."
