TZC: Predatory
A drop of blood fell from midair to land on a single sakura petal in Senbonzakura's realm. He frowned. He had not invited anyone, much less that...commoner into his home. The other zanpakutou spirit finished manifesting and, naturally, getting blood everywhere.
Hey, Princess. Whatcha doin'?
You have invaded my home uninvited, ingrate. You will at least address me by my proper name.
Oh, really?
Nameless walked slowly towards Senbonzakura, who unconsciously backed up in response. Before he even realized what was going on, he was trapped between Nameless and the trunk of a tree. Nameless reached out and put his hands against the tree on either side of Senbonzakura's head. He leaned in close.
Now what makes you think little old you can make me behave?
Senbonzakura's eyes widened and his face flushed. Nameless seemed to like the look of the color on his pale skin. He lifted his right hand from the tree and softly stroked Senbonzakura's cheek, leaving a trail of blood wherever his fingers had been.
I--I--don't touch me!
It was at this point that Byakuya snapped. His blade was at Kenpachi's throat before the other captain's hand had even found his hilt.
Captain Zaraki, you will remove your zanpakutou spirit from my inner world before I remove your head from your shoulders.
What the fuck are you talkin' about?!
Nameless spoke out loud, knowing Byakuya would hear him.
No need to get drastic, Captain. I need my shinigami alive far more than I want to play with your lovely little zanpakutou.
With that, he vanished. Senbonzakura slumped against the tree trunk, one hand going to his bloody face. In seconds, Byakuya had manifested before him. He took one long, hard look at his zanpakutou, then turned away.
Clean yourself up.
Then he, too, vanished and Senbonzakura was alone once again.
