Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book
Byakuya is seen observing Yachiru ride around on a scooter. He asks her what she is doing, to which she says that Pinball-head made it for her birthday. He then asks her what she is doing in his manor, and she states that she is doing so because it is big. Byakuya thinks to himself that chasing after her would be a waste of time. Then, Nemu appears from a hidden door in the hallway, announcing that the tea party is ready, as Yachiru speeds back, much to Byakuya's surprise.
