Guardian- N/A

-It had been far too long since Ryoji had entered the Seireitei. Dispite that fact nothing appeared to have changed much over the last century and a half. As he walked along the wall of North Rukongai his mid-legth dark blue hair danced with the mild breeze. At first glance Ryoji appeared to be dressed as a commoner wearing a simple black eyes patch over his right eye, something of which he was hopeful would suffice; however, unlike most commoners he carried what appeared to be remarkably close to a Shinigami's Zanpakutō, holding it over both shoulders wrapping his thin arms around its saccarb. Nearly missing it Ryoji's blue eyes caught sight of three individuals below him talking amonst themselves. Sliding to a sitting position on the wall he suppressed his Reiatsu as best he could to remain unnoticed as he eavesdropped on their conversation mumbling to himself-

"Oh what's this I sense two Captain leveled Shinigami and...hmm what's this the other appears to be..."x

-Ryoji slowly got to his bare feet taking a step onto the air as if walking on a soid object he began his descent toward the trio while locking eyes with he Shinigami who had addressed him.-

"You are a skilled one indeed to notice me Taicho. In a way I am honored; however that being said your demeanor tells me that you are looking for....hmm...a fight, am I correct? If that is so that would make you Division Captain of...Squad 11, yes?"

-Ryoji touched the ground opposite the young women as he straightened himself clearing the wrinkles from his brown tattered clothing as the wind picked up once more undoing the attempt he had made of straightening his commoner's attire. Deciding to give up with a "sigh" Ryoji slung his Katana over his shoulders once more eyeing the three smiling lightly almost closing his eyes completely-

"Oh...and please forgive me. You are a Captain as well, Anju-san I believe it was? And hello to you to young lady."

-Ryoji spoke bowing to them both as his sapphire colored hair draped over his pale face-x

-Sliding his sheathed katana into his left hand he oppened his eye fully revealing am oddly dark sclera as his blue eye observed her. Acknowledging her speed Ryoji slowly began to circle her counter-clock wise as he began to speak-

"Your first question, who am I? The answer to that would be Sanada, Ryoji..."

-As he strolled around her he had just passed her left shoulder the sun became partially obstructed by a cloud, causing a cool shade to cover over four. Coming full circle around Anju, Ryoji tossed his Zanpakuto into his right hand. As it moved effortlessly between his quick hands a green tassel hung from its hilt along with what appeared to be a mini-chain which appeared to be as long as his forearm. He stood there quietly for a few seconds bringing his left hand up to his chin rubbing it as he looked up toward the sky in a thinking fashion-

"...and to answer your second question, I simply overheard your friend their speak it as I was simply strolling by"

-Ryoji gave a slight smirk observing the Captain standing before him waiting to see how she would respond to a commoner addressing her in such a manor-

-Returning to his previous stance as the overhead cloud past revealing the sun once more Ryoji titled his head as he began to speak casually-

"Hmm...I see ...so it would seem that Captains in Soul Society now demand as much respect as they have ever....interesting"

-although he spoke aloud his words appeared to be addressed toward himself more so than to the female Captain before him-

-laughing to himself: "Heh I suppose you are correct, Capatain...."

-Appearing alongside the bench and the two young women Ryoji lay against the nearest wall. No one had noticed that he had moved nor sensed any trace of Reiatsu from him. He stood there with his arms folded staring up into the vast afternoon skies covering the Seireitei-

"I suppose you make an interesting point Capt-, I mean Anju-san"

-He smiled looking off into the sky-

"Oh what am I doing here no time for me to relax. I've almost forgot I have business to take care. I wonder Anju-san is Squad 1's Captain available at this time. It is fairly urgent that I speak to an on-duty Captain. Besides I don't think he'd take to kind to an outsider roam the Seireitei"

-As he spoke he moved toward the entrance of a narrow street lined with identical housing complexes. A few feet beyond the first corner a group of small children played with a ball bouncing it acrobatically-x

-Ryoji listened to her speak. He could tell that this captain sought to escape the hassle of her duties."Reminds me of those days so long ago...", Ryoji thought to himself. "Come off it you were just as laid back as that woman was during your day, baka" spoke an all to familiar voice. The voice had served as a guide since Ryoji's years at the Academy. It was calm cool and collected, yet had trace amounts of sarcasm.-

-Turning around Ryoji faced Anju contemplating her her advice before turning his attentions toward the man who had invited him into the conversation he himself had intruded upon-

"I would truly grateful for any help you would be willing to give Captain of the 11th squad", Ryoji spoke calmly smiling at the red haired Captain standing before him.

-As Ryoji awaited an answer he turned his thoughts to the voice who had addressed him seconds before. "Yeah I was, but don't give me that. Had it not been for me you woulda been out slaying Hollow after Hollow, now isn't that right Synri-kun", Ryoji spoke to the voice who had taunted him. "I've told you my name isn't Synri-kun, its Synronhkyou. Now as your Zanpakuto I demand you not address me in that manner!" Synronhkyou shot back.
