Byakuya was sitting in his office, doing his paperwork. It wasn't due for another week, but he always liked to finish it early. He was spending more and more time at his office lately, for there was nothign to do at home and it was a little lonely. Rukia was in the world of the living with Ichigo, and there had been fewer hollows to fight lately. He finished his paperwork quickly, and looked out his window. The sun was just setting. Byakuya sighed quietly. He didn't quite want to go home to that big, empty mansion, but there was nothing else to do here.
