TENKENED!: Chapter one, a quiet morning.
Seireitei was peaceful, the birds were singing, the students were learning at the academy. The gardens of the 6th Gotei squad were the picture of tranquillity. It's captain, Byakuya Kuchiki, was peacefully admiring it whilst drinking tea with his wife. That was of course, until the cry of "TENKEN" that roared form the Gotei squad grounds, and the end of the giant sword that crashed into the garden. It destroyed not only a rose bed, but a water fountain topped with a statue of Kuchiki lords own making, of the in his mind great hero, the seaweed ambassador.
If you had looked closely at Byakuya, it would have seemed that his eyebrow twitched. That of course did not happen, for to twitch was below a Kuchiki, as was to sigh, which also did not happen.
"I see the first sent a reminder about this month's paperwork to Komamura tachio, I'm sure we can fix the garden." Hisana cheerfully said. How Hisana could be so cheerful? To use phrase the had spread through the gotei since Komuamura's arrival "the gardens has just been "Tenkened".
His mind drifted back to when he had first seen Komamura and his odd "family", if it could be called that. It had been sixty years ago when he received an order from the Captain-General. The Eleventh division Captain had been challenged by a daemon from the 80th district, and Byakuya was being sent to investigate. He'd got there just as the Captain of Squad 11 died, cleaved in two by Kenpachi, who covered in blood and laughing manically, looked every inch the daemon he was rumoured to be. The grieved 2nd seat of squad 11 leapt at the giant's back, shiki released and aimed his neck. Kenpachi turned round and blocked, sending the 2nd seat flying.
Byakyua was about to unleash Senka on Kenpatchi when a cry of 'TENKEN!' distracted him, and he was forced to flash step backward to avoid a gargantuan sword. Even to this day, Byakyua was not sure what had shocked him more; Tenken, Komamura's sudden appearance, or the image he presented. The gentle captain had not, to put it bluntly, looked anywhere near his most presentable. What followed had been the first time he had truly been in danger, thirty minutes of combat with Komamura. He would dodge Tenken. Komamura would knock Senbonsakura aside. He would cut Komamura's leg. Komamura would cut his. He'd use kido. Komamura would use blasts of reshi. Kenpatchi had killed the second seat with a swift slash to the gut before being restrained by the swiftly arriving captains of squads One, Four and Thirteen. All eyes, therefore, turned inexorably towards the duel between Kuchiki and kitsune.
Byakuya went to strike him from behind, only for Komamura to block it and punch him in the gut, sending him crashing into a wall. In a flash, Komamura was caught by a swift Bakudo 64: Six Rod Light Restraint.
It was strange, how outside of battle the canine captain was one of gentlest souls in the Seireitei, yet in battle yet in battle was compared in terms of sanity to Kenpachi. As he motioned to some unlucky shinigimai to clean up the wreckage, the 7th gotei captain came in through the impromptu gate he had created between their divisions. "Sorry about the wall, some 1st division rich brat woke me up to try and get some damn paperwork done." He paused in thought, his cheerful manner dismissing the damage as minor. 'Send the repair bill to Squad One, all right?' Knowing full well that no-one billed Squad One for anything, ever.
As the merry giant walked back to his division(not quite as crazy as squad 11, thank the spirit king.) Byakuya just hoped his new lieutenant would be calm and composed.
