Summary
“As I told you the last time you were here,” the old man growled at Renji as he examined the arm, “You have the demon magic in you. The shinigami use it to cast spells, but also to push their bodies past what is normally possible. Like a fool, you have done this without proper training. You have broken and healed yourself simultaneously, but with no skill, and you have made a hash of it.”

Summary
Byakuya has not, historically, been the best brother in Soul Society. He’s improving, though! His latest idea is to throw a fancy party to celebrate Rukia’s promotion to vice-captain, even if it means a week-long visit from his insufferable grandfather. Fortunately for Byakuya, his lovely sister and his loyal lieutenant have no intention of letting him go through it on his own.
