Captain Hitsugaya had finished his paperwork early today, and was busy sleeping away his troubles. when the voice of the Captain Commander rang out throughout the Seireitei, He woke with a start and when he recognized who was speaking commented "That time of year again, eh?"<br/><br/>Standing up, he sent a hell butterfly out to let his squad's lieutenant where he'd be, and used flash step to begin to cross the Seireitei.<br/>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Conkuzo sighed. how long had it been since he had been out in the open like this? True, his Reigai completely masked his presence to make him<span style="font-style: italic">seem</span>normal enough, but he was disheartened. Okay, he was downright miserable. He didn't know where to go or what to do, so he found himself walking along the beach. Some kids with a volleyball hit it a little too far to the left and it ended up hitting him square in the stomach. Due to his riatsu, he didn't even flinch.<br/><br/>"Sorry mister! Can we have our ball back please?" one of the kids asked him. He smiled and thought 'if I were out of my Reigai, I would kill them for that.' What he said was, "Sure kid, just try not to do it again."<br/><br/>In truth, getting hurt like that made him a bit more jovial. Not that he actually was hurt, but that he wanted to battle something strong. too bad nothing had come to challenge him since he stole the Reigai from Szazel's lab when he died.<br/>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Captain Hitsugaya stepped into the Captain Commander's office "You wanted to see me, Captain Commander Ichisake Amano?" He asked, politely sitting down, mentally preparing himself for anything that was asked of him.
