The day after the afternoon and subsequent night she'd spent in the company of Kumori Raizen, Benihime could be found skipping into the 11th Division. She had a bright smile on her face, her zanpakuto strapped back on her lower back with its hilt sticking out on the left hand side. She was wrapped as usual in bandages around her chest, feet and wrists, wearing over-sized black hakama which were uniform code at her approach. This girl, had already reported back to her Captain after being on an excursion to the Human World, and seemed to be in the best mood she would ever be seen in. As she stopped she was in search of a particular individual, one whom she'd been meeting up with at least once a week since the Tournament of Power, but she'd skipped the previous week due to her own bad feelings. This week seemed to be the complete opposite of that. "Oi!~ Ryo-kun!~" she chimed seemingly a shining gem of personality at this hour when she was normally much more reserved, as her crimson ponytail swayed in the breeze.
On her path, this redhead was viewed strangely by various members of the 11th Division. Never had they seen an outsider simply saunter into the barracks while looking pleased about the trip, bar the few who'd been around long enough to recall the days of Inuzuri Kenpachi's previous reign during visits from a particularly battle-savvy challenging Captain. Even these individuals considered this skipping 5th Seat to be a strange occurrence, though. One specific member of the Division had no... or rather, less issues with these antics. It was none other than Koiso Ryohei, the man who'd been named 3rd Seat of the Division some months prior due in part to a fight with this particular woman. He stood just outside the office of the Vice-Captain, whom he'd been aiming to speak with before hearing his name called. Turning to find the culprit, he noted the strange state she was in. "... Yo. Who tickled your tits?"
If the young redhead was being strangely viewed by everyone, it seemed she didn't notice or care. Soon enough, she'd found the young man she was looking for who seemed to have a very acute sense of the happiness in this young woman. Even so, nothing about her face changed and she simply feigned ignorance over what he could have been talking about. "No idea what you mean by that, Ryo-kun," she said as she came to a complete rest at his side, that same glowing serene smile on her face, her left elbow resting on the hilt of her blade. "Anyway, I skipped out last week, I wasn't feeling up to it," she stated plainly making her reason for being here known.
Of course, she'd skipped out on this for multiple reasons, the first of which being her own depressed mental state. And beyond that the matter of avoiding the new Kenpachi as the man was rather intimidating to the young woman, but she was feeling particularly pleased today and given this she had no problem showing up here. Her only thoughts were about her potential physical match up. "I wouldn't wanna get rusty or anything..." the girl started, seemingly the same amount of pleased by what she was about to say. "So you up for the usual, maybe a bit more? I got some new stuff and I need a proper fight to try it out~" Benihime mentioned not seeming to have a care in the world. Of course, the Vice-Captain of the 11th Division was indeed in her office if the young man still needed to speak with her. She'd been working on various transfer forms and paperwork since the return of one Inuzuri Kenpachi.
"... Hmm," Ryohei muttered after hearing the words spoken by Benihime; he'd actually been seeking his Vice-Captain for a sparring match, but it seemed Benihime had come to face him this week. She even claimed there were some new things she intended to test out, and she sought to use a fight with him to do so. He hadn't tasted combat with this woman in some time, and he was keen to have an entertaining fight. "I happened to be looking for a fight. I'll take you on."
It seemed that the young man she'd come to was at least willing to face her. Of course, Benihime fully expected this regardless of whatever else he had on his plate. One thing she'd learned over the course of her stay as a Shinigami was that an 11th Division member, one who was really one all the way down to their core, couldn't resist a good fight. She'd had a happy smile across her face the entire time, it now morphed into a bit of a grin as she chuckled out a reply to Ryohei's statement. "Oh? Looking for a fight and one comes to find you, must be your lucky day, Ryo-kun~" she chimed seemingly pleased with the knowledge that she was going to get the fight she was looking for. "Did you already have a venue in mind for the fight you were looking for? I'm ready to get started!"
