[b]R[/b]yuma lowered his head and shut his eyes. The challenge had been accepted and matched; the fringes of his white hair wafting with the spiritual pressure in the room. A crescent smile raised onto his face until Kanada left. 

[b]O[/b]nce the Squad three captain left, Ryuma sighed. 

[color=F1F1F1][b]“W[/b]hat a showoff…”[/color] he muttered, ignoring his own antics before sliding his bokken in his sash. [color=F1F1F1][b]“I[/b] suppose I’ll have to sharpen my edge now. To think that Kanda might actually take this fight seriously. Its’ a bit frightening.”[/color] he admitted cheerily. 

[b]B[/b]efore long he was lounging on the Victorian couch in the middle of his office, his arms unfurled on its cushioned ridge. Tomorrow would be interesting, he thought with a smile. The smile soon faded into uncertainty. His mother’s request slithering into his mind. Did she really expect him to ask such a request? The guardianship of Karakura Town

[b]Tsk![/b] [color=F1F1F1][b]“A[/b]s if the Head Captain would allow it.”[/color] He ruffled his hair softly before peeping the crack in his door widen. He raised his brow and said, [color=F1F1F1][b]“Y[/b]es?”[/color]

[b]A[/b] mob of his squad members poked their heads inside before barging through. They questioned about the spiritual spike in his room, some even mentioned how fearful they were that a battle had started.  He reassured them with a gentle smile that it was all in good sport. That he’d need his six strongest Shinigami for tomorrow’s bout.
