Shino Academy.

Standing beside the young Byakuya who is the same age as me I wanted to slap him on the back of his head for being too proud of his status and the etiquette of the Nobel's in the Soul Society.

"Did you see that Takashi? " asked Byakuya with a wide smile as he performed 'Hado #4 Byakurai'

"Yeah it was amazing but don't you are the best and look at me performing it. " as he is done bragging about how amazing he is, I said with a smile while I pointed my index finger to the target before saying "Hado #4 Byakurai. "

The moment my words fell I lunched a wave of lightning that is concentrated from my finger to the target which is now completely gone thanks to my attack.

As time passed the rivalry between me and Byakuya intensified and we soon became best friends in just a few months.

In this time I have mastered all the Kido under level 90 because no Academy students are allowed access to those and in the Zanjutsu class we were improving fairly well.

We were thought how to form our Sealed Zanpakuto by commencing our Spiritual Presser and the constant training from the Zanjutsu Sensei made me learn a lot.

As time progressed I somehow started pushing our Zanjutsu teachers in pure swordsmanship making me believe they are just pretending to lose against me.

However, the call from Captain commander Yamamoto made it clear I was wrong as he started teaching me the way of the sword by himself.

In short six months, I had learned everything that the Academy can teach me now that's just crazy.

At first, I thought it will take me forever to learn all the things to become a Shinigami but now I think death had made me the genius that I had always wanted to become.

As the Shino Academy is going on winter vacation for half a month I wanted to return to the 40th decision of West Rukonagi and stay with Rangiku and Gin for a while.

Even though I visit them every week however it has become impossible to stay in my previous home and I will also bring them inside the "Seireitei" the moment I pass the Academy and join the ranks of Shinigami so they don't have to suffer any longer. 

==========

"Why don't you stay at my house for today as it has become afternoon already before returning to your home tomorrow Takashi? " asked Byakuya after the vacation was announced.

"Are you sure? " asks Takashi with a serious face as he looks at Byakuya wondering if the Kuchiki clan will permit entrance to a commoner Soul like himself.

"Don't worry about anything because you have the words of the future head of the Kuchiki clan and that would be me. " said Byakuya with a proud smile.

"Bro can you stop that or I will puke. " Takashi said with a smile while looking at Byakuya's arrogant smile.

With that, the two of them left the Shino Academy before long arriving at the Kuchiki clan.

In the afternoon While Takashi is drinking Tea while Byakuya is practicing Zanjutsu.

"Why don't you join me Takashi? " asked Byakuya with a smile as he continued his practice.

"Nah~ I am tired and just want to relax this winter before the vacation is over then I will apply for graduation. " Said Takashi with a smile as he continues drinking his tea.

"You are lazy as always and this makes me wonder how the hell did I become Sworn brother with someone like you? " Byakuya says with frustration as he continues swinging his wooden sword.

"You need to put more force in your swings if you want to improve you know? " Takashi said with a laugh not caring about Byakuya's remark.

"I know that. " Said Byakuya with a serious face as Takashi finally finished his tea before saying "I am going to sleep-wake me when you are done and we will go buy some gifts for Rangiku and Gin. "

With that, Takashi went sleeping on the wooden floor of the Balcony of Byakuya's house making Byakuya said with anger "Don't complain to me when you catch a cold because of sleeping outside you fool. "

As the Zanjutsu training of Byakuya continues while Takashi continues to sleep without a care in the world he felt 2 strong Spiritual Pressures approaching the courtyard of Byakuya making Takashi completely awake but he didn't move from his spot and just didn't yet observe from his place.

"Well that is quite impressive Byakuya I see you working pretty hard. " said an old man who has the Captain's overcoat for Squad 6 and he is the Grandfather of Byakuya who is called Ginrei Kuchiki.

Discovering his Grandfather Byakuya shows a smile before approaching him to say "Grandfather what a pleasant surprise did you decide to rest here today instead of the Barracks? "

"hmmm. "Ginrei Kuchiki gave a nod indicating he is indeed going to stay as Byakuya said with a smile "I am so glad you did because it's been a long while I had a conversation with you and I very much enjoy our conversation.  "

"So how about taking a break from the practice for a while I have taken some here for you to see. " suggested Ginrei Kuchiki with a nod before pointing his thumb at the back where I am sleeping while scratching my buttons as its very itchy over there as he asks "Also where did you get that weird kid from? "

"Grandfather actually he is Takashi Nohara a friend of mine from the Academy. " Said Byakuya with a wry smile as he looks at me before asking "Also who are you talking about to meet me? "

Hearing Takeshi's name from Byakuya,  Ginrei Kuchiki remembers the kid whom the captain commander has accepted as a student is also called Takashi Nohara and if he is the same kid then he is not a stupid monkey but someone who should be even more genius than Shunsui Kyoraku & Jushiro Ukitake who are now 2 captains who have the dual Zanpakuto.

While Ginrei Kuchiki is deep in thought.

A purple-haired, tanned-skinned beauty suddenly arrives beside Byakuya before pushing her breasts on his head making Byakuya irritated as he shouts in anger before swinging his sword at her "It's you cat monster. "

Easily dodging the slash from Byakuya with two backflips the purple-haired beauty says with a laugh "Cat monster and that is what I get for my special visit.

And I went out of my way to make a special trip. "

"Oh~ please when did I ever say I wanted you to come here and visit me as the next clan head of the Kuchiki clan I don't want to be involved in your games and they aren't that funny. "

"Oh is that so? " asked Yoruichi as she arrived behind Byakuya with the headband that was trying his hair making Byakuya angrier as he tries to slash her with his sword just for her to stand on the walls of his courtyard by now.

"It may be a game to you but I am very worried about the future of the clan if a mear girl was able to steal the headband off its leader's head. '' she says with laughter while spinning Byakuya's headband.

"The beauty is right Bro if she can steal your headband then it's no good. " finally I decided to step in and arrived beside Byakuya using Hoho then turning towards Yoruichi I continued "As much as I support you on my friend's incompetence at the same time I also think it's no good if as beauty like you have a headband of a boy instead of the flower of my love in your hand. "

"Thank's Takashi. " Byakuya said with a smile as he received his headband back.

Yoruichi who has a red rose in her hand instead of the headband of Byakuya asks in surprise "When did you??? "
