That day had been one of the few perfect ones that occurred during the rainy season in Karakura, or Japan in general. The sun was out, and was supposed to be out for the entirety of the day. Though both the heat and humidity were up high, Chad wasn't concerned. He had lived in Okinawa, and that had been miserable compared to this. This was okay.
He had planned on spending his day relaxing on the banks of the river, staring up at the occasional clouds and letting his mind wander. For the normal person, an activity like this was difficult to do all day, but for him, it was quite easy. He spent a majority of the time with his thoughts as it was; basking under the sun was just a pleasant adage to it. Letting out a deep, contented sigh, Chad threw his arm over his eyes and relished both the shade and the heat of his sun-warmed arm. It was quiet, not because people weren't out but because this was a relatively calm part of the city. Every so often there would be the call of a child or the quiet chatter of a walking couple, but nothing too loud.
For this reason, he didn't much regard the pitter-patter of little feet he heard growing closer until a high pitch scream that sounded vaguely familiar penetrated his pool of thoughts and had him sitting upright. He had no time to consider the reason for the scream, because a small thing had just attacked his arm and was giggling insanely. A glance down met him with an obnoxiously pink head and he sighed, giving Juuichibantai fukutaichou Kusajishi Yachiru a vaguely annoyed look before laying back down, his peace shattered.
He had forgotten that half of Soul Society was here.
