"Why did you take that hit?" He stood still, towering over her relaxed crouched form. Her head tilted down, playing with one of the cherry blossom flowers that had fallen from the tree branches above them. She hadn't looked at him, hadn't even acknowledged his presence there, And as much as he hated to admit it, her absence for the many years had irked him, and her silence and refusal to even address him was building it up.
"You owe me nothing." She stated her head still down, and focused on the flower between her finger tips. "So stop torturing the both of us and go."
Her words were filled with spite, and anger, but he could hear the hidden depression, and sadness. He frowned at her, and what she had done to herself. Years of traveling alone had made her hollow, nothing but a shell of who once was, as much as she tried to cover it up, everyone saw it.
"My being here has nothing to do with dept." He answered coolly. Trying not to sound harsh. "I am here for answers, and I intend on getting them."
"You're not going to find them here." She glanced at him for the first time, taking note of the obvious changes, and the lesser ones to. "I'm asking myself the same thing, 'Why would i throw myself in harm's way when you obviously 'Have no need for the presence of a half-breed shinigami.'" She quoted him perfectly, her words dripping with venom. Her glance turned into a short glare, his eyes widened a fraction at her.
"The past is behind us." He said, his teeth grinding together softly as he watched her stand and brush past him, she did not stop to turn towards him as she replied.
"You are correct Captain," His brow furrowed at the title, why had she not used his own name? "The past is behind us."
"I will return tomorrow." He stated before she was out of hearing distance. She knew he would come, but she wouldn't be here when he did. Not that she would tell him that.
