-.-.-<3-.-.-

"We were all so worried when you were carried in all wrapped in bandages! Even Sanemi was worried about you, which says a lot! They all thought you wouldn't wake up, but i knew you would!" Mitsuri smiled, tears streaming down her face.

Soras eyes were fully opened and she could hear fully now. A tube was down her throat for breathing though, so she wasn't able to talk. She was in her own private room, and it was fairly plain. It was decorated with pink and blue flowers from Mitsuri and the others, and her sword and haori were folded and sat down in the corner of the room on a table.

"One at a time, people! She is just waking up, you will all be able to see her eventually!" Shinobu scolded, closing the door on the rest of the Hashira. "Sora, its great to see you again. Although, the conditions aren't the best.."

"Mm.. mhm.." Sora mumbled, scrunching her brows at being unable to talk.

"You know, you are one lucky girl. Your voice will be fully healed soon, but if you damage it anymore you will be completely mute." Shinobu said, taking the tube out of Soras throat. Sora squeezed Mitsuris hand as the tube was being removed, and she squeezed a bit too hard.

"There, you should be able to breathe on your own, but try not to strain your voice too much, its still in the healing process." Shinobu smiled, taking the gloves off. Her and Mitsuri helped sit Sora up properly, and Sora sighed, finally being comfortable.

"My voice doesnt even hurt that much.." she whispered, and Mitsuri did a wiggle of happiness after hearing her. Everyone besides Tengen hadn't heard her voice since she left, and that felt like forever ago.

"Im glad youre okay Sora!" Mitsuri cried out again, hugging her.

"Be careful! Sora has two broken ribs and a broken wrist, you dont want to hurt her more, do you?" Shinobu asked, and Mitsuri slowly got off Sora, but held her hand. "Exactly."

"Can i have some water?" Sora asked, and Mitsuri nodded, grabbing a cup and poured some water in it. She handed it to Sora, and she frowned not being able to use her right hand. "Thanks." Sora said, taking a sip of the water. It was so refreshing, her throat felt so dry and harsh like sandpaper against her tongue.

"Sora, do you want everyone to come in, or do you want a couple people at a time? I don't want to overwhelm you with everyone." Shinobu asked, and Sora shrugged.

"I guess let everyone in, just tell them to be quiet, i have a headache.." she mumbled, rubbing her head. Shinobu nodded, opening the door and stepping out for a moment.

A minute or two later the door opened up and all of the Hashira walked into the room. They had worried smiles on their faces, and Sora took another sip of water to avoid the first awkward eye contact as they walked in.

Gyomei was crying as he prayed for her quick recovery silently. Next to him was Sanemi, who was trying to pretend like he didn't care, but deep down he was so worried. Giyu had worry showing in his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face because Shinobu was most likely going to tease him for it. Muichiro had no clue why everyone was sad, but he felt it was appropriate for him to at least be present. Rengoku also had a saddened expression, but was proud at how fast she had recovered. Obanai was standing next to Mitsuri, and was only sad because Mitsuri was. They all knew deep down he was sad because of Sora, though.
