"So it's really come to this." Rukia's voice was low and melancholy looking ahead to the ginger haired male before her, his eyes set into a hard scowl at the small Shinigami. "I don't want to do this to you Ichigo."
"Well too bad. It looks like you don't have a choice Rukia." He leaned into his stance and Rukia mirrored him. He cocked his weapon as Rukia drew back her arm.
"I'm sorry for this Ichigo, this wasn't how I wanted this to happen. Please. Forgive me."
It only took a moment and then;
SPLASH!
Both Rukia and Ichigo froze in their stances. "RENJI!" In unison they shouted turning to the fiery red head.
"What the two of you weren't movin' so I figured I would get this ball rolling." Cradling his arm full of water balloons with pride flashing the duo a cocky smirk. Rukia turned to Ichigo and Ichigo to her.
"One, two, and attack!" Rukia let her own water balloon fly and Ichigo turned pulling the trigger on his super soaker both of them aiming for Renji who quickly dodged their assault.
"HA! You missed!" Renji roared with laughter as both Rukia and Ichigo stood in frozen horror looking just past his shoulder."What? What are you guys loo-" He turned and realized why they'd both looked petrified. "Kuchiki-taichou." Byakuya stood on the stone walk way that lead from the veranda of the Kuchiki family house. The Captain was dressed far more relaxed than Ichigo had been used to seeing wearing a simple red yukata with temari balls along the bottom hem. Currently his head and torso dripping wet from Rukia and Ichigo's assault.
Ichigo began to speak to defend his friends from the colder male. Byakuya raised a hand and closed his eyes audibly sighing out of frustration.
Renji turned and bowed, Rukia followed his actions, both of them loudly apologized. Still clutching their respective hordes of balloons. Ichigo stayed still watching the Captain release his blade. Before he could warn either Rukia and Renji, Byakuya commanded the fury of small blades to travel with lightening fast speed and precision past the three of them.
All of the water balloons both in Rukia and Renji's arms suddenly busted and Ichigo's super soaker water gun was going to need a new container for water. They watched the many petal like blades dance back to their owner as they returned to the form of the katana. All three were drenched from the waist down.
Ginrei let out an amused snort from the porch and Byakuya smirked after he turned away from the three he left dumbfounded watching him walk away.
