You get out of the spring and head towards your barracks again, still fighting internally. It's dark outside now and as you approach division six, you know you won't sleep without clearing your head.

You jump up on a high wall, taking a seat and concealing your spiritual pressure. Getting up high and meditating has always calmed your mind, so you close your eyes, and deepen your breathing.

As you relax, you are suddenly pulled out of this state when you sense the spiritual pressure of your captain.
You look over your shoulder to see him standing below, watching.
"Captain?" You say, surprised by his sudden appearance once again.

"Y/N, I was wondering where you had gone off to, you shouldn't keep yourself concealed like this"
"Sorry captain, I was just trying to meditate a little.." you reply, releasing your usual level of spiritual pressure once again.

"No need to apologise" he continued.
"Have you been here this whole time?" He asks, failing to hide his curiosity.
"No captain, I've been training with Renji"
"I see, but you weren't at the training grounds..." his eyes narrow slightly.
"He showed me a better place to train, in the mountain..." you reply.
"I know the place you're talking about" he cuts you off. He notices the ends of your hair are still wet from the hot spring and he can't help but question further.
"I see you enjoyed the... amenities of that training area.."

"The hot spring? Yes captain, it was quite relaxing.." you say, feeling a shift in your captains tone.
You notice a slight redness creep over his face.
"You and Renji must be quite close already, to spend all that time training and using the hot spring"
Byakuya tries to sound uninterested, but you can hear his voice waver slightly.

"Not really.. he's good to train with I guess, but I'd never get in a hot spring with him, captain." You hide a laugh at the idea. Your captain seems to be acting quite strangely right now and you can't help but be amused by his change in tone.

You see a sense of relief sparkle in his eyes as he keeps a straight face.
"I see, that's good... that you can train with someone who will challenge you.."
"Yes, it's good to have different people with different skills to practice with"
"Then I'll leave you too it"
"Yes.. uh thank you captain"
Byakuya continues on his walk, heading in the direction of his home.
