Bleach

I just left the market carrying some groceries I promised to bring for a sweet elderly woman known to me as, Kiyomoto-san, she enjoys cooking and sewing it always seems for that's what I see her finishing up or asking for ingredients to make another type of recipe she has in mind.

I never minded for the treats were delicious to try once they were done, but also it was like a trade off between her and myself; she teaches me to cook, I get her ingredients that she requests. A small pleasant smile resting upon my lips as I slowly went towards miss Kiyomoto's home.

Crash!!... A sudden rumbling, almost rolling of the ground itself beneath my feet. 'Earthquake?' Was my quiet question, hazel eyes searching almost frantically for how my head swivelled from every direction.

I stopped for a moment and started forward once more, looking around carefully to see everything that is happening, but I saw something that seemed to be a glimmer figure in the distance.

I slowed down as my eyes focused on the glimmery space, wondering what it is and how it is there at all, but those thoughts start to fade as the quaking of the ground brings me to my knees dropping the many items I bought for Kiyomoto-san.

Sitting on my knees, holding myself up by my hands and looking around cautiously. The glimmer space seemed to lose the glittery touch and start looking more like a human.

"What is happening? This is a bad earthquake..." I say to myself, but pause when I see what looks like earth splitting slowly closer to the strange glittery figure. I look between the two areas worried, "maybe they see it?" Feeling my limbs move in a crouch position and debate with myself.

"They need help, it's moving closer to them..." one thought, " They may not need my help at all and see it..." to finally, "I am wasting time, just go me!" I finally thought getting up and trying to hurry to the figure and move them to safety.

At least that was my mental goal, but the reality was me shuffling from shaky ground to other stable grounds that become shaky after a few moments, but I kept going trying to ignore my thinking, until I got closer to the strange individual.

The individual still seemed blurry for my vision, "I must need glasses..." I mutter softly, and tap on their shoulder that was covered by many layers of clothing it seemed better fitting for winter instead of the current season it was. I wanted to help the stranger, but could not tell what needed to be done either.

Crash!!... The earthshaking sound came, it felt like my whole body jumped a few feet from the ground, only to turn my head once back on the shaky surface to see what seemed like a large footprint right next to me. "What the heck?..." shaking my head, "Just run when can!" I looked down at the man I tried to get to and heard soft coughing from him, but little other motion to speak of.

Breathing in deeply, I grabbed the shimmery figure and pulled one of his arms over my shoulder, "Just like those rescue shows I have seen..." muttering to myself constantly about how other people can do it, so I could. The results were me dragging the man who seemed to be coughing quite a bit, but also not as badly as at the beginning.

The self-defense in doing more only lasted so long for me, before something that felt like a hail of bricks falling on top of me. Landing on the cement ground clinging to my self-proclaimed charge, since the person could not really say one way or another about it when coughing so heavily.

The next thing I knew was, the chilly welcoming of darkness and a thought, " What happened?" Was the last thought present before darkness.

Jushiro Ukitake was captain of the thirteenth squad of the court guard squad and that came with many responsibilities along the way, but even with the many responsibilities and the lax way they were handled due to his health conditions, there were still moments when he had to be succumbed to the coughing fits that were so common to the illness in the first place.

Feeling the familiar wracking through his frame as he coughed into his long sleeve and held himself up for a couple minutes until it felt more reasonable to be crouching instead of standing as he fought this recent bout of coughs. He knew that focusing on the situation at hand was necessary, but soon did not even notice until he felt another person close by.

'Must be a fellow reaper who can handle the situation if I can not...' were his thoughts on the matter, until he felt what was almost feathery light in touch and seemed to be them speaking, but so quiet it seemed to be to themselves instead of to him. His peripheral vision was blurred slightly by the force of the coughing he felt, but he still felt the small distinct amount of spiritual pressure the other being had with very small distinctions.

There was limited he could do when coughing as heavily as he was, but from the distinct feel of the spiritual pressure it seemed like a young individual which was a slight warming of his heart where there were living people who really worried about others. Shunsui Kyoraku had a way of reading some spiritual pressure for their gender, but it may have been him searching specifically for the gender.

His thoughts on his friend cleared away as he felt the stranger grip his arm, and grip him tightly, her mutters easier to hear as comparing to something and trying to self-motivate. They did try to pull me away from the devastation, I tried to keep up with her as well, but her dragging proved to show her inexperience in these matters and she ended up being crushed by a sudden hollow moving slowly it's limbs above her. Knowing the hollows would crush the human, Ukitake moved forward to end their attack one by one.

I wanted to do a simple-ish reader and someone style, so this is it.
