Toshiro groaned as sunlight hit his face through the window.
He groaned in pain again as he tried to get up
ok I'm not dead
"Don't even think about getting up now" he felt the jab of bony fingers push him back down onto the bed "in your condition your lucky to be alive so don't push it, I could easily snap your spine while your in this condition" he opened one eye carefully to see a short elderly lady before him, dressed in some sort of traditional robes of a rich family, grey hair tried back to clearly show her wearing a pair of sunshades and a cane in her hand.
"Where am I?" Toshiro managed to struggle from his lips
"You should not be speaking either, it wastes your breath you need. You had a punctured lung, 4 broken ribs, some major veins and arteries severed and if it had been 7 cms to the right then you would of had your heart sliced open as well. If you hadn't of been treated you would of either suffocated of your punctured lung or bled to death" she poked his arm with her cane "your in my house as well so you will do what I say understand so if I say no talking and no getting up then that's the law round here and you ain't getting out of here in that state, a poor blind lady could push you down for heavens sake"
She was right, every bone in his body stung like hell, he could hardly move without aching or bursting into pain.
What he really wanted to know was where that girl had gone- had he imagined her?
"Your just lucky you were found, she has a knack for trouble that one but I guess this one is for the best" the elderly lady sighed "I'm going to get you some new bandages" she got up and glared (if a blind woman could) "stay there and don't move a inch" she hobbled out the room using her cane after that
"Kino really needs to chill sometimes" he knew that voice
He watched as the supposide angel jump down from the room rafters above. He could see her in full now, she was still this beautiful being : a slim body with a biggish (not rangiku big) chest and she wasn't actually that tall either - she was petite for the age he guessed she was (16?). Her appearance deffinatly was angelic, her clothing not so much: a cropped leather jacket, some kind of band t shirt, a pair of acid washed jeans with a few rips and a pair of black converses on her feet-she had also tied her hair back now into this mid length ponytail. She looked like the opposite of angelic in that sense but it just fascinated him more.
"My names Kotori, but most people call me tori" she walked over to him with so much curiosity "so what's your name?"
"Toshiro" he breathed lightly
"Toshiro...I like that name"
He couldn't help but blush lightly at the complement - damn why was he acting like this round her...well he could have one guess why.
About a week ago Mayuri had developed this dubbed ageing drug and had wanted to test it on those with high reistsu so had decided to use him as a guinea pig. Literally he had been grabbed in the corridor and had this weird green gas stuff puffed infront of him, he blacked out and woke up in this older 16 year old body. And apparently it was permanent as well just to make things even better. Also with this body had come some problems, one of which was these damn hormones and his now awakening to the appeal of the other gender, he hasn't found any other girl so beautiful or so perfect before except for this girl. He had gone through rush puberty in a week full of embarrassments such as when his voice changed (rangiku will later die for the torment she put him through) and some other stuff he didn't want to think about.
"Thank you" he croaked
"So do you remember anything? Is there someone we can call for you?" She looked at him with concerned eyes, it was if they had known each other for years and not minutes
He decided to play amnesic at this point "sorry I don't remember anything much, I think I hit my head or something. Where exactly am I?"
"The Asakura family compund in Izumo, don't worry your safe here" he actually believed from her tone that she was telling him the truth yet she had this quality of sounding so bubbly and carefree as well
"Ok, thank you for rescuing me"
"It was nothing, really it's kino you need to thank, I can't heal anything at all without making it worse somehow"
"I will then"
"I'll leave you to get some sleep then shiro" and with that she left, waltzing out the door and out of sight
...wait. She called him shiro. God what was happening to him. IT WAS CAPTIAN HITSUAGAY OR AT LEAST TOSHIRO CHAN NOT SHIRO! She was going to annoy the hell out of him, he could tell straight away, he had been phased by the whole angel thing. But maybe he would like it...
Tori sighed deeply after leaving the room, there was something about him that interested her so much, he was different and he looked so sweet. She just had this I dunno natural attraction to him like a moth to a flame. She was never like this ever...though she could tell that they would proberly clash at some point since he did look like the more mature type to her
"Kotori" she snapped out of her daydream at the sound if her name
She saw kino staring at her with a irritated expression "Kotori I hope you know what your doing" kino didnt stick around for a answer though as she dashed off again
"When have I ever?"
