Raising her wrist over her face to block from the sun light that came into the room. As her eyes grow accustom to the white room. She moved up against the wall to sit up, as pain stuck her; she dropped down on the matters as she winced in pain from her chest, twisting the bed sheet hoping that the pain would go away.

Taking small breaths slowly feeling the pain in her slowly going away, after that moment she tried again, using her arms to sit her up against the wall. Breathing in slowly the pain wasn't bad as the first time. Looking across the white room as many unoccupied bed surrounds her. Sitting up for a long time she thought that it was nice of someone to leave the windows open since the room was kinds of hot.

Enjoying the sight inside room, as the sun came throw the white currents while the nice breeze blow them making them look alive. The squeaky door brought her attention to the doors; a young elegant woman came in with dark braided hair around her neck. She came up to her bed side.

"I'm glad to see that you're awake. You've been out for a couple of weeks,"

She smiled at her. "How is your side?"

"It hurt, but other than that I think that I can manage the pain…. Where am I?"

The woman asked if she could check up on her side. She winced at the pain, as the woman moved her hand down her ribs. The woman smiled at her as she apologies softly.

"Well your ribs are broken since you've been here and you're in the medical wing of the soul society. Everyone here been calling you miss knighting gale since we don't know who you are,"

"Ilaria,"

"That a very beautiful name, I never heard of it,"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Captain Unohana, but you can call me Retsu, I think it's so much better to remember," Ilaria smiled at her, Unohana accepted the warm smile from her. Unohana moved away from the bed.

"Well since you're awake, I think that it would be better if I told the other captains that you're awake, they been eager to meet you,"

She watched Unohana left the room. She saw someone else coming inside the room holding something.

"Hello, I'm Kotestu; it's nice to meet you Miss Ilaria," Blowing to her, leaving Ilaria confused since she really did not know why she just did that.

"Captain Unohana sent me in here to get you ready, to meet all of the others captains,"

"Okay,"

Folding back the sheets back, as she moved her legs on the outer side of the bed. Kotestu moved closer to her taking off Ilaria grown, she pushed Kotestu away from her.

"WOW…… hey, I'm not like that way,"

Kotestu Stared at her for a couple of seconds she waved her hand in front of her as she smiled.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to give you any wrong thought, but I have to wrap this cloth around your ribs so when you stand up it won't hurt so much,"

"Oh… I got you, but next time says something or I might get the wrong idea and I swear there going to be some smack down,"

Laughing at her comment, and yet she knew that she probably could do some serious damage to someone. Kotestu cleared her throat.

"I'm sure of that," Ilaria raised her eyebrow at the comment that she had made.

"What do you mean by that?"

Ilaria hissed when Kotestu wrapped the cloth tightly around her ribs.

"Sorry, about that… what I meant that all of the captains never encounter someone as you that as some much powers,"

"Oh…hum…Kotestu…, was there anyone else with me?"

"No, there was no one else, why was there someone else with you?"

Yes she silently said. She was afraid that he wouldn't make it throw the portal. They both didn't say a word to one another; she was dressed in the clothes that she was wearing when she first arrived here. Kotestu lead the way to stand in front of two giant doors.

"There waiting for you,"

"I'm kind of nervous are you sure they don't bite, cause if they do then you can tell them I' think that I'll pass this meeting,"

"It's okay, they may all look mean, but that part of their jobs, but underneath there all nice teddy bears," looking at her with a question mark face.

"I'll tell you later, but there waiting for you,"

She stood amongst many captains standing before her was a old man, looking to both side she saw Unohana in the front, quietly thanking Kotestu, closing the door behind her. Moving a bit forward not sure what to do. The peculiar silents did not really help her nerves.

"You don't have to frighten around us,"

The old man voice deceived his looks she thought it would be rough and crackled, but his voice calm and deep.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Ilaria,"

She was quit in embarrassed since her voice seemed to failed her. But loud enough to hear, she wished at the moment that she was somewhere else, she really never liked the feeling that everyone was looking at her.

"Ilaria, did you come here alone?"

'No… there was someone else with me,"

"Who was with you?"

"Thereon, he was behind me, he said to me he was going to close…."

She couldn't finish her sentence since she worried that something could of happen to him, gasping at the thought that something worse happened to him.

"How did you get here?"

"We both made a portal to transporting us into a different dimension. That why he said that he was going to close the portal so they wouldn't follow us,"

"What do you mean by them?"

She toke her time before she raises her gaze to them. Only dark blue eyes stole her attention away from everyone else. His eyes were so different she never encounter like them before. She looked away from his gaze.

"They were after us. We are not sure who sent them, but they highly trained to kill my kind,"

She could see some of the other captains raised their eyebrows and glancing at one another. One of the captain steps out of the format as he walked over to her.

She had an unpleasant feeling to stay away from this man, he was not normal like the rest of them, his skin was white as snow his eyes yellow were like looking down a 45 barrow. She stood her ground as he moved closer to her.

"What is your kind?"

His voices help his appearance to give him the look of a crazy mad scientist.

"From what I know is that I'm not a human, spirit or a beast. All I know about my kind is that were beings from a different world and that my kind is a dying,"

"Kurotsuchi, stand your ground,"

She was thankful that the old man said something, yeah right Kotestu there all teddy bear underneath she sure that he wasn't one.

"Ilaria,"

Her attention was bought back to the old man.

"I'm sorry, but you were the only one who made it throw the portal, but among you was a letter,"

He hands to note off to a young lady in black who handed it to her.

"For the safety of the soul society I need you to translate it,"

Opening the letter to see that the letter was written from Thereon, she read the letter in her the language it was written in.

"Mijn diepste verontschuldigingen, Ilaria, worden onderhand u waarschijnlijk overgegaan werpen het portaal en ik veronderstel ik het niet met u maakte of iets gebeurde,"

Cutting her off before she could read anymore.

"I'm sure none of us understood your language, but I would like you to interpret the letter for us,"

"I understand... he wrote in the letter… I mean Thereon say.

My deepest apologies, Ilaria, by now you probably passed throw the portal and I'm guessing I didn't make it with you or something happened. I know you feel alone, but do not worry. I'm sure that you would be welcome in my family arms. My uncle lives in the soul society, so I program the portal to send you there. From what I remember he's a very powerful man he may be very busy, but he found the time to raise me. I'm not sure that he would remember me since it's been a very long time. But look him up by his name is Shigenkoni Yamoto. I want you to know Ilaria that I'll always love you and that no one could every replace you from my heart as my wife. Love Thereon."

Wiping away the tears from her face she was not expecting this to happen she was hoping that both of them could pass throw the portal together.

"He was your husband?"

"Yes, we were married for more than fifty years,"

He nodded as he stood up from his chair.

"Thank you for your cooperation, you may go back to the medical wing,"

The door behind her opened, Kotestu was there waiting for her, walking out of the room to leave the room with captains.

Feleena: okay I really didn't want to make up a fake language so I just used dutch so if you can read dutch that great and if I made any mistake please do tell. Thanks.
