The work never stops and especially now wouldn’t stop over at the fourth division barracks. Nagarashi spent some time reading through various reports and updates. Some of which were merely business as usual and others varied in importance. And after reading through a few more, the Kuchiki had a few questions. He hasn’t spoken to the new Captain since the issue with Captain Itaku at central. Nagarashi spent his time at the family manor in the ten days that followed. Fuu’s ascension to being named Captain wasn’t entirely unexpected. Even if unrelated, it made Nagarashi think about his own family’s position. The Kuchiki have remained on the periphery for what seems like an eternity. And despite his past issues, the raven-haired Shinigami knows that he couldn’t afford to remain uncaring and nonchalant. The time for them to take strides forward was now.
For his own part, Nagarashi will have to become a little louder and not so reserved. Meaning, his service to the Kuchiki and the fourth division will need to be more noticeable. Make no mistake, none of this means that he will suddenly change his outlook on certain situations. It was now time to forge meaningful relationships, even if they’re a means to an end. In the interim, it was best to figure things out at his place of work. This meant that it was time for him to engage with the new Captain about future plans.
The Kuchiki decided to put his current affairs on hold and seek out Fuu Shiratori. It was hardly a challenge for his Reikaku to locate the woman. And once locked on, Nagarashi rose from his seat and made his way out of the office. Upon doing so, he sensed what he could only describe as a disturbance. It was a familiar feeling, a known individual of whom he crossed paths some time ago. The raven-haired Shinigami paused for a moment while remembering Taro’s words the last time they met. Captain Date had revealed some troublesome news to both himself and Kinko. It left both men debating Taro’s intentions after the revelation. Even so, something stood out to the Kuchiki the most. Those rather ominous words directed at the Kuchiki specifically.
”I am many things, Nagarashi. You will learn that, should we meet again.”
Was this a warning? Nagarashi soon snapped out of his momentary lapse in concentration. A lone attendant moving with haste caught his attention. Afterall, the man had unintentionally bumped into Nagarashi before falling on his backside. The Kuchiki’s six-foot five inches tall frame towered over the man, meanwhile a look of utter disgust was plastered across his face. A deep sigh was released as a sign of his irritation. Choosing not to berate the man, his eyes were enough to deliver the message. If looks could kill, the attendant would be dead by now. Earlier, Nagarashi made the decision to visit Fuu, but now he was in a predicament. Instead, he moved towards Taro’s position. As Nagarashi approached, he could hear the frantic and fearful murmurs of several squad members. Captain Date seemed to have caused quite a stir.
Nagarashi finally made it to where the Captain was located, coming to a stop opposite the cunning fox. The half-starved abused stray seem to be the one suffering the most. One could deem this to be a medical emergency. And yet the Kuchiki didn’t seem to be in a rush. Instead, he took in his surroundings, and had been doing so even during his approach.
“Greetings, Captain Date. This is very different compared to the last time you visited. Do you mind stepping back so we can collect the patient?”.
The ‘we’ in this being the two medical aides on standby ready to load Sameko onto a stretcher. Nagarashi decided not to touch her just yet. Once she was retrieved, he would oversee Sameko’s care, unless of course the Date wanted something else.
