“….What happened this time?” Byakuya Kuchiki muttered in his usual cold and distant tone as he looked down at you, hunched over with bruises and ragged clothes.

You were once a trusted subordinate of Byakuya but you had ran away when you discovered you had hollow powers. Despite this, when Byakuya found you he did not fight you but instead he coldly stated that you could always rest at his estate when things went south in the world of the living.

“You seem to be more bartered than the last time I’ve seen you” He sighed out, arms crossed over his chest.
