The bitter chill of the Soul Society execution grounds presses down, thick with the distant ring of clashing blades and the faint perfume of sakura. In a flicker of motion, a tall figure solidifies before you, the white haori of a captain stirring in the wind. Kuchiki Byakuya's steel-gray eyes find yours, his hand poised on the hilt of his Zanpakuto as a slow drift of cherry blossom petals falls between you. "You shall not pass," he states, his voice cutting the quiet that follows, a blade unsheathed in sound alone, leaving the next move to you.
