"Well. It's definitely Rukia. Some sort of chemicals must have been in the smoke when the explosion occurred." Unohana said as she handed Rukia backed to Byakuya.
"How long until the effects wear off?" He asked worriedly.
"I'd say...Umm. Three days."
Byakuya calmed down a little.
"Or maybe a couple of weeks."
His eye's widened.
"No. Maybe a month."
His eyes got wider every time she expanded the time.
"I can't tell for sure. Maybe you should go ask Mayuri. I'm sure he'll know." She said calmly.
Byakuya nodded.
"Until Rukia is back to normal though, keep her with you at all times."
"...What?" He asked.
"In the current state she's in, she's basically helpless. She can't do things on her own. She needs someone to take care of her. Someone that is already close to her and it seems she wants you to be the one to do it."
"What makes you say that?"
"Well. While I was running tests on her in the other room, she wouldn't stop crying out for you. You couldn't hear her, because you were in the waiting area." Unohana explained.
Byakuya was shocked for a moment. Rukia was crying out for him? Him of all people. "Okay, I'll take full responsibility for her." He agreed.
"Okay then, If you get any information from Mayuri please report it to me as soon as possible. I might be able to figure out how long Rukia will be like this."
Byakuya nodded and slowly walked out of the room then headed out towards the 12th Division.
--
While Byakuya was running towards the 12th Division Headquarters, Rukia started whining. He immediately slowed down. "What's wrong, Rukia?" He asked, forgetting for a moment he wouldn't get a full answer.
She whined a bit more. "No more. No more run." She shook her head. He guessed that she wanted him to stop running. So he did and just started walking.
"Hopefully, you'll be back to your old self again."
Rukia giggled. "Happy, Bya!" She clapped her hands.
"Fine, but I'll only act happy around you. Not in public."
Rukia laughed happily. Byakuya almost smiled at her laughter, but stopped himself.
"Where going?" She asked.
"We're going to go to 12th Division to see if we can get you back to normal."
"Divi?" She tried to say 'Division', but couldn't.
Byakuya sighed. He should have known she wouldn't understand. Rukia looked like she was thinking.
"Cweepy Man?"
Byakuya almost laughed. "If you mean Captain Kurotsuchi, than yes."
Rukia shuddered.
"Don't worry, I won't let him touch you."
Rukia smiled cheerfully than clutched herself tighter to Byakuya. Byakuya figured this was her way of hugging. He looked from left to right and saw no one in sight, so he smiled down at her for second then went back to his regular self.
"Why Bya no smile?" Rukia asked curiously.
"It's just how I was raised."
"Fun."
"What?"
"Need Fun."
"Are you trying to say I need to have some fun?"
Rukia smiled and giggled in reply. Byakuya guessed this was her way of saying 'Yes.'
Byakuya looked forward. "We're almost there."
Rukia whined a little. She didn't like here, it made her feel uneasy.
"You don't have to worry. I'll keep you safe." Rukia just clutched him tighter and tried to hide herself.
--
Byakuya didn't bother with waiting at the door. He just walked right in. "Captain Kuchiki?" Nemu asked as she appeared from another hall. "May I ask, what are you doing here?"
"It's about that explosion earlier. I was training Rukia somewhere near here and the explosion hit us...well. It hit Rukia. I think there was something in the smoke that effected her."
"What do mean by 'effected?'" Nemu asked.
Byakuya opened a bit of his haori to show Rukia hiding herself from being seen.
"It that..."
"Yes, It's Rukia. I took her to the 4th Division and Captain Unohana said there might have been something in the smoke that did this."
"Well, our Captain was experimenting. I guess that's what caused the explosion."
"I was wondering if I could have a word with him."
"Of course, follow me." Nemu started walking down another hallway. Byakuya followed, but as he was walking he noticed Rukia hide herself with his haori again.
Nemu stopped a door and opened it slowly. "Mayuri? Captain Kuchiki wants to have a word with you."
"Well, let him in." Mayuri said from inside the room. Byakuya entered the room and Nemu walked off to go back to her own business.
"Well, Captain Kuchiki. What is it that you need?" Mayuri said turning around in the chair he was sitting in to face Byakuya. Byakuya unconsciously clutched Rukia tighter.
"What was that explosion earlier from?" Byakuya asked.
"Ahh. Why do you ask?"
"Because what ever was in the smoke caused this." Byakuya said opening his haori to show Rukia, her eyes tightly shut as she tried to hide herself without the use of Byakuya's haori.
"Well this is interesting. That's your little sister isn't it?"
"Yes. What ever was in the smoke of the explosion caused this. How long until the effects wear off and she's back to normal."
"Well, I'd have to run a few tests..." Mayuri lied. Byakuya could tell it was a lie and backed away a few steps. "Fine, The effects should last at the least a month."
"And the most?"
"Two or three months."
That disappointed Byakuya a little. Then he thought it might be good. When Rukia was back to normal she would have to get back on schedule. They'd hardly ever see each other. So maybe her being like this was a good thing. When she was like this she had to be with him at all times. He could actually spend some time with her. Then he thought about her work schedule again. Dammit, he forgot about that. He needed to inform Ukitake about what happened. So Ukitake would know why Rukia wasn't going to be showing up for the next month or maybe longer.
"The thing that caused the explosion. Hmm. Well, I was experimenting on some chemicals. I was trying to entertain myself. I had gotten rather bored, and I thought it would be nice to experiment on some new things." Mayuri explained, getting Byakuya's attention back.
Byakuya nodded. "Do you think that there will be any side-effects?"
"No. No side-effects. She'll just be a normal baby for the next month or so." Mayuri replied.
Byakuya nodded again. "That's all I needed to know." He said before walking out of the room and leaving the 12th Division. He was headed back to Captain Unohana to report what he had been told.
--
After Byakuya had informed Unohana he headed towards Ukitake's home. He knew Ukitake wasn't at the Division Headquarters, because he was out sick again.
Byakuya politely knocked on the door and after a moment it slid open. "Byakuya?" Ukitake asked. "What are doing here?"
"I come to inform you that Rukia will not be able to come in to work for the next month. Maybe even longer than that." Byakuya replied calmly.
"Why?"
Byakuya opened his haori to show Rukia. Who was asleep in Byakuya's arms.
"Is that...Rukia?" Ukitake asked shocked.
"Yes. I was training her near the 12th Division and there was an explosion. The chemicals in the smoke caused this. She won't be back to normal until after a month or so."
"Well, It's okay with me. Even if it wasn't we really wouldn't have much of a choice." Ukitake joked.
"...I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, hope things go okay with Rukia." Ukitake said waving goodbye as Byakuya turned and headed back towards the Kuchiki Manor.
