Three soft knocks on the door followed by a female voice, interrupted the silence of the rain. "I`m entering". The door was opened slightly, and the small figure of Rukia appeared. She had undergone some changes over the past few months. Her hair had grown down to her waist, and her body had matured a little, through not enough to even compare to Rangiku`s. She haden`t grown a single inch through. Despite the changes in appearance, her life as a shinigami had changed also. Her deeds during the attack of Aizen had been swirling around the soul society since the man was captured, making her quite known. She had recently been promoted to vice captain of the fifth division, and had been one of the powerful people not to disappear. Byakuya had not been so lucky through, and he was still among those that were missing.
"I`m sorry if i awoke you, but Sebastian taicho told me to hand in the paperwork for my mission..". Rukia turned her violet eyes on him, and noticed the tired eyes. Not commenting on it, she walked fully into the room, caring a small stack of papers. She was wearing Byakuya`s scarf in the same style he had, through it reached her ankles. A kuchiki hairpiece was tied into her left section of bangs. Despite the noticeable height difference, she did hold the same prideful aura like Byakuya, yet it was more welcoming. She wasen`t dripping on the floor, and her hair was dry, meaning she had avoided most of the rain.
