Time is a fickle thing. It seems to pass faster when doing things you enjoy, but crawl when doing things you hate or if waiting for something particular. One thing that most agree on, though, is that you always want more of this precious commodity. And when they get it? They tend to squander it. For all of this though, everyone agrees time is precious. Losing some is devastating to say the least.
This is the predicament that Akihiko found himself returning to. A years worth of time, gone. The last thing he remembered? Fighting an Arrancar and Hollow while trying to protect a Quincy. He wouldn't say he lost the fight, but he was in a tough situation last he remembered. And then? Waking up in a park in Karakura Town without an inkling as to what had happened. The only indicator that he lost time at all was the signs around Karakura, putting the date more than a year since he remembered being there. Where had he been? Why was he a mess? What about the Arrancar and Hollow? These were questions that not just he asked, but he was certain his superiors would ask as well.
And he had no answers to give.
With the political climate being as tense it was previously, with Vaizards trying to gain acceptance, spiritually aware humans becoming active, and the King of Hueco Mundo getting frisky...he wasn't even sure there would be a Soul Society to return to. With no leads to follow regarding his whereabouts and actions for a year, Akihiko decided it best to return to the Soul Society and report in quickly. It'd be a shitty report, of that there was no doubt, but if showed he was forthcoming with any and all information he was certain his superiors would allow him some leeway. It was only fair, right?
And so the member of the 5th Division re-entered his home via Senkaimon. A black silhouette on a white background traversed through the open doors and onto the busy streets of the Seireitei. The light fading with the closing Senkaimon, his visage became discernible. His black hair, always spiked, was longer than it had been before--traveling to mid back though still a spiked mess. The sleeves of his Shuhakusho were long since gone, revealing fraying at the shoulders. His sealed Zanpakuto, Awaisubeta, was upon his back. The massive greatsword almost touched the ground in it's sheath, despite him being over six feet tall. Called unwieldy by some, Akihiko was more than skilled in it's use--with one arm, no less.
Emerald eyes looked around as he brought a hand to his cheek to absently scratch his scar there. "Well, bloody good it's still standing. Damn shame if I'd come home to rubble." His large hands went to his hips as he surveyed the area. He wasn't far from the 5th Division HQ, thankfully, and decided he'd best be on his way.
"If I'm gonna get me ass reamed, might as well do it first so I can drink it off later."
