A Captain's Pride

Chapter 4: She's Really Gone...

Author's Note:

Kira: Man, I think I'm getting a headache....

Rangiku: Oh! Did you have a hangover last night?

Kira: Of course not! I'm too young to drink!

Rangiku: No need to be harsh, Kira-Chan.

Shirohi: That headache is getting to you....

Shirohi's POV:

"Scatter, Senbonzakura..."  A deep voice whispered from the shadows. Suddenly, a wind blew and scattered cherry blossoms across the field. The pink petals surrounded my enemy and engulfed her. I looked to my right to see Byakuya Kuchiki walking towards us.

That was....Byakuya's Zanpakuto?!?! I had heard about it before, but this was the first time I was seeing it in person! It truly is an amazing Zanpakuto.

"It seems you're having a hard time, Shirohi. Mind if we step in?" Another voice said from behind me. I turned to see Captain Hitsugaya standing there with a smile.

"Sorry," I frowned turning back to the swirling petals. "She got the nerves in my hands, I can't move them."

"How'd she know that was your weakness? Who is she anyway?"

I sighed. "I don't know, but she says she knows me. I've never met her in my life though."

Suddenly, I huge burst of light exploaded and Byakuya's Zanpakuto was blown back, forming into a katana again.

The smoke cleared and exposed the woman. She had cuts all over her black suit, revealing pale skin underneath. "Damn you, Byakuya Kuchiki." She spat.

She flipped back on to the roof behind her. "I will flee for now. However, I will be back to get revenge on you, Shirohi." The woman smiled. "If you want my name here it is: Meisukai Keitaku."

Then, she disappeared in thin air. I sighed, revenge? What would she want revenge for?

Byakuya slid his sword into it's sheath. "I will notify the Head Captain of this new enemy. If she is after Captain Kenshiki, then she is most likely after the Soul Society as well." And with that, he disappeared as well.

"Man, he's always leaving before I can say anything to him.." I whined.

Hitsugaya rolled his eyes. "Let's head to Squad 4 to get your hands healed."

"I see, your nerves in both of your hands and arms are destroyed. Can you move either of them at all?" Captain Unohana asked. I watched as my brain commanded my arms to move. But, they just hung there limp in my lap.

"No, they won't move." I repiled. Unohana smiled and layed her hands on my right arm.

"Nothing at little healing kidou can't fix."

Then, she mumured an enchantment under her breath. My arm glowed blue for a moment and Unohana smiled sweetly."Now try and move it. Easy though, it may hurt from those cuts in your wrist."

I nodded and gripped my fingers into a fist over and over. Unohana moved to my other arm and did the same.

"Oh, while you're here, do you mind if I check your burns to make sure they're healing properly?" She asked and I nodded. I then unwound the black bandages to reveal my scarred hands. All of the skin was still a dark red color and scrapes covered the surface. 

Captain Unohana flipped them over and analyzed them. "They're healing quite fine, although the scars may remain forever."

I sighed. So many things were swimming in my head, so many worrisome things. And now I have that to add in.

She turned around to grab the roll of black gauze. I was the only one that used it so she knew exactly that I would want that instead of white.

Captain Unohana tied them and I stood up. "Thanks so much. I have to got my Squad now, they're probably worried about me."

I stared at my arms. Now the bandages extended all the way to my elbows.

She chuckled. "Ok, it was my pleasure. By the way, congrats on becoming a captain's seat."

I smiled. "Thanks."

"C-Captain! Where have you been?!?" Izuru panicked.

I sighed. "I ran into a new enemy. I almost died but, Captain Kuchiki and Captain Hitsugaya came and helped me out. I had to get the nerves in my arms healed and now I'm back." I explained.

"Is it an enemy to the Soul Society or you?"

I sighed again. "Most likely both." I turned to the door. "I'm going to call it a night, I'm worn out. Goodnight, Izuru."

"Goodnight, Captain." He called to me.

As I collapsed on my bed, tears stained the pillow.

She's gone...

She's really gone...

Tsukika is gone from my reach....

God, major headache...

Anyways...
