Chapter 2
This is ridiculous
Unohana woke up an hour later groaning. Opening her eyes she saw her dear Isane as well as Hanataro, both looked wery worried about her. What happened? Where the first words out of her mouth sitting up from what she suddenly realised where a futon in her office.
You fainted captain said Hanataro. Please don't sit up captain you need rest Isane said taking up her hand to feel Unohana´s brow. I am actually surprised you didn't get this flu before, whit how much you have seen to the patients. Unohana smiled reassuring. Isane I don't have time for this there are patients to look after. Hai captain there is Isane agreed. And right now you are one of them. Now please captain lie down.
Isane furthered her point by gently pushing down Unohana´s shoulder making her lie down on the futton. Unohana sighed and sat right up again, closing her eyes momentarily as the room suddenly spinned. Still she smiled gently at Isane. It is nothing to worry about Isane it's just the heat making me dizzy that's all. HEAT? Isane screamed angry. It's early march if anything you should be freezing, you have a fever captain and you need to sleep and get some fluids.
Unohana sighed knowing how stubborn her lieutenant could get when she put her mind into it. She then chuckled and released some of her reiatsu. Isane let me up she asked gently giving Isane one of the looks that made squad 11 run in the opposite direction. Isane shaked her head. Is that little reiatsu supposed to scare me? She asked.
Let's make a deal captain. If you can send out enough reiatsu to make me sink to my knees then I will let you up. Wery well Unohana said and let out all the reiatsu she felt comfortable enough to send out. When Isane didn't even flinch she upped her ante. Hanataro watched from the sidelines when suddenly Unohana´s eyes rolled into the back of her head and fell back on the comfortable futon. Isane sighed. Hanataro get me some female shinigami in here, we need to get the poor captain out of those warm clothes. Then you can send a messenger to Head captain Yamamoto to tell him of these new events. Then you can find a bed where poor Unohana can get some rest.
Hanataro nodded. Hai lieutenant, as you wish. Isane sighed taking a hand to feel her captain's brow. She had a fever, no doubt about that. The door opened and 4 female shinigami gasped, seeing their poor captain knocked out cold on a futton.
No time for chit chat ladies help me out here Isane said lifting Unohana up in a sitting position. Someone loosen up her braid, the rest of you help me whit the shihakusho (soul reaper uniform). About 5 minutes later Hanataro knocked on the door entering whit a hand over his eyes. Captain Soi Fon said she would wery much enjoy some of captain Unohana´s company and said it was OK for her to borrow one of the beds in her room.
Wery well Isane said dragging a standard summer shihakusho over Unohana´s head so she didn't have to wear the heavy winter one. Whit that she and one of the younger shinigami tok one of Unohana´s arms over their shoulders and went over to Soi Fon´s room. Soi Fon where sitting up as they came walking in.
As Isane made sure Unohana was comfortable under the futon she turned to Soi Fon. Arigato for letting her stay here Isane said bowing respectfully. Do not think about it Soi Fon said. Unohana is like a mother to me. I want to help her. Isane smiled and sat a hand bell on Soi Fon´s desk.
If she wakes up and try to make a run for it ring that would you. Soi Fon smiled. Of course. Isane smiled. Then I will let you get your rest. Once again Arigato. And whit a bow Isane walked out. Soi Fon laid back her head resting on her pillow and started to drowse.
She woke up a while later of Unohana´s groaning. She watched as Unohana sat up and looked around. Damn that Isane Unohana grumbled. I do not have time to lie around and doing nothing. She sat her feet's down on the ground and rose. Soi Fon reached for the bell Isane had given her.
One word of advice captain Unohana she called as Unohana turned to the door. Unohana turned and saw Soi Fon lying in her bed holding a bell. Your dear Isane gave me this and told me to ring it if you tried to make a run for it. So I would advice you to go back to sleep. Unohana sighed. Are you in on this too captain?
Hai I am Soi Fon said. You tend to sick people everyday. It's time that all the people in your debt repay you. But I'm not sick Unohana said stubbornly. Soi Fon lifted an eyebrow. This really isn't like you Unohana. You are testy, tired, and since you woke up I haven't seen you smile once. One of your shinigami, Hanataro I think, said that you fainted after having sent out some of your reiatsu.
Soi Fon sighed as Unohana suddenly saw all the signs. Her being warm and dizzy, her feeling more tired than usual and her small tantrums. She nodded. You are right she said. I am sick; she walked over to the futon. Hey since you have that bell ring it so I can get something to eat. Soi Fon smiled.
Hai captain Unohana. Unohana smiled. That is wery kind but as we have established I'm off duty until further notice. Please call me Retsu. And whit that Retsu Unohana smiled and laid down under the comfy covers of the futon smiling gently at Isane who had run in when she heard the bell Soi Fon had rung. Hi there Isane would you be a dear and get us some food? Isane smiled glad her captain had gotten to her senses and decided to take it easy. Hai Captain Unohana, at once.
