Sode no Shiriyuki couldn't help her smile as she went back to the dragon. She hoped and prayed the boy would be able to free his Zanpactou the way she stubbornly pretended Rukia hadn't for her. As un-confident as he was he seemed to really care, he seemed to regret what he had done to his sword and she prayed for the dragon's sake he was ready to make up for this.
"You convinced him to leave?" Hyorinamru didn't look up when she walked.
"I told him you were onto something and he agreed to give you more time." She explained.
He gave a disbelieving hum but didn't argue.
"Have you found anything?" She asked.
"There's something odd about the kuchiki family tree a generation above Byakuya," He told her, "In some documents i have found reference to him having and uncle and in some his father was an only child."
"That is strange," Sode no Shiriyuki frowned.
He spend a bit more time looking into it but about half an hour later another reatsu washed over them.
"Go." He turned to Sode no Shiriyuki.
"What? But this is..?"
"I can handle myself, you need to get this to the shinigami and give then the name Koga Kuchiki." She ordered waving paper in her face, "Now go!"
"Your master says he will be at your place tomorrow." She quickly told him before reluctantly flash stepping off.
He paused at the words but didn't get chance to think about them too much.
Byakuya Kuchiki flash stepped in not long after his zanpactou behind him. Lucky for Hyorinmaru other zanpactou weren't good at hiding their reatsu, That was always the shinigami's job, it it wasn't for senbonzakura he never would have felt Byakuya coming.
"Kuchiki." He greeted as he lent his elbows on the desk.
He tone grey eyes studied the dragon at a desk.
"I didn't quite believe it when senbonzarura told me that out tenth squad captain had been a zanpactou all along but i can now i see you like this."
Hyorinmaru titled his head wondering if that was supposed to be an insult or a joke. He sighed.
"Why are you doing this kuchiki? Muramasa obviously has some connection to your family, right? Your wanting to preserve the honor of your family or something? Something to do with Koga Kuchiki?"
he watched carefully the reaction as he dropped the name and Byakuya tensed.
"How much have you found out." He glared.
"No evidence but enough to draw a line. Muramasa is the zanpactou of your uncle, correct?"
Byakuya said nothing to that and changed to subject.
"Muramasa has asked me to bring you back to him." he draw his sword.
"That's a yes," He muttered then said louder, "I'm busy, I have a date with that good for nothing child tomorrow that I don't want to miss."
"Then you leave us no choice." Senbonsakura drew his sword and it scattered into pestles.
Hyorinmaru darted up, jumping up from his chair, to the desk, wings and tail appearing in seconds as she shit through the roof. he took to the sky and reaching up, a mountain of pink the petals shot after him.
Tuning in the air and facing their way he took a deep breath in. a roar came out unfitting of the small form. could formed above him from from him a great blast of ice froze the mountain of petals solid.
the winds picked up and the blizzard begun as the dragon stood and looked down at his opponent.
"I won't be holding back anymore, Kuchiki. I don't have to pretend to be that pathetic child anymore!" His declaration was honestly more of a ploy.
his hope was another captain or something would show up and detract Byakuya and senbonzakura so he could get away. his power was more than enough of a beacon. All he had to do was hold out.
He lent back out of the way of a slash from senbonzakua and span expecting a follow up from Byakuya. he felt him hit his wings and smirked. Byakuya looked like he was trying to recalculate and Hyorinamru didn't blame him. the heavens were his territory, they may have been two against one but he ruled here. throwing his arms out and making ice lances, Hyorinmaru threw them his way and senbonzakura shattered them while his master dodged and charged forward. Hyorinmaru dived down, gliding under Byakuya's feet and throwing his long tail the way of the Zanpactou and knocked him out the air.
shinigami coudl fly but many were not adept at combat from all directions, flash step was just not made for such things. Wings on the other hand, were. Byakuya was fast though, he barely managed to block a swing with his wing.
"I haven't even drawn my sword yet, Kuchiki." Hyorinmaru taunted.
he saw his gray eyes narrow slightly and threw his tail round. Byakuya dodged and went for his back. Hyorinmaru leaned forward flipping the air as he took a deep breath. As soon as he heard the sound Byakuya flash stepped before Hyorinmaru was upside down faceing him and let out another dragon roar.
Byakuay hissed, a part of his hand frozen as pettals darted for Hyorinmaru again. This time he summoned his four-pointed star guarded katanna and turned to the petals with a,
"Reign over the frosted heavens!"
with a swing he froze a second mountain but didn't see the small amount that hit him in the back. He was sent back to thr ground with a crash from the hit. The Dragon spread his wings, the wind thrwoing away the dust as he struggled to his feet. he went to take to the sky again, get back his advantage but the words,
"Six bars of light." Were uttered and the light kido stabbed into him, holding him tightly in place.
"crap." Hyorinmaru hissed as he struggled.
Not that he really was caught. he could freeze most if not any kido thrown at him but i would help if Kuchiki let his guard down.
"You talk big Hyorinmaru, but it seems you will have to come quietly now." Senbonzacura gloated.
Hyorinmaru went to argue but something hut his senses and he smiled.
"What's so funny?" Senbonzakura growled his master obviously feeling the same things.
"Him." Hyorinarmu answered looking to a white wall that in second was gone, in it's place stood,
Kenpachi Zaraki.
"I hear, princes noble of the seireitei turned trator and im allowed to fight him." He beamed that vicious grin.
"Yup." Hyorinmaru agreed, now choosing to freeze and shatter the bars of light.
"Snowy! You got a new outfit!" Yachiru popped from his shoulder just to be ignored.
With that Hyorinmaru flash stepped away, letting go of his sword and wings so he could be faster. Byakuya went to go after him but nearly met the end of Kenpachi's sword. Senbonzakura was ignored but by the time he pulled himself away from his master Hyprinmaru had gone, using Kenpachi's reatsu as a shield to stop himself from getting detected.
