"It's time to wake up. Waky, waky. Wake up everyone," Kooren said loudly. He now looked like a strange orange haired boy. Rukia, Sentaro, Kiyone, and Ukitake thought Kaien was staring them in the face. "How long have we been here?" Yachiro whined. "I'm hungry!" "You're always hungry," Nanao said angrily. "We've been here a couple of days I believe."
Shunsui coughed. He clapped his hand over his mouth in a coughing fit.
"Shunsui are you sure you'll be alright?" Ukitake asked looking concerned.
"Huh? Oh me? Yeah, I'll be fine. F-i-n-e. Hahaha. Why?" he said to the left of Jushiro as he answered. "Although, my ribs hurt. I also believe my head is lighter than it should be."
Jushiro watched his friend get up. He noticed a bloody hand print. Shunsui swayed slightly as he stood. "Shunsui, you shouldn't move around."
He watched confused as Shunsui ran to Nanao as a Quincy guard tried to grab her. He shielded her. The guard glared and smacked Shunsui in the face.
"That was a stupid move," the guard growled. "Hey Bormin, come over her and cover the door for me."
Another guard came over and replaced the previous guard. "Just hurry Coorbin. I need to get back to my post."
"No problem," Coorbin answered. He opened the cell door and pulled out a sword and a long range tazer. "Any of you try to stop me and I'll zap ya. Got it?"
The other shinigami stayed put or otherwise shrank away. He slowly approached Shunsui and Nanao. He noticed for him to move away from Nanao. Shunsui stayed put. "Move away from the girl or I'll make ya move."
Again he stayed put. Coorbin quickly grabbed Jushiro and held the sword to his throat. "Move or he get's his throat slit! Hmmm, Bormin any of them you want?"
Suddenly he was tackled and his captive taken from him. He zapped the person on top of him. When the weight was gone and he heard a thud he got up. Jushiro ran the the person on the ground. "Sentaro, are you alright?"
Sentaro nodded.
"The one twitching on the ground twitching looks good," Bormin said indicating Sentaro. Coorbin went right over and zapped Shunsui right in the neck. He remained rooted to the spot Suddenly there was a blade lodged between the bottom of his ribs. Coorbin smiled and lifted the sword with Shunsui on the end. He jerked the blade and Shunsui flew into the bars of the cell with a loud bang. Blood seeped from the corners of his mouth. he slid to the ground as Coorbin started towards Nanao.
"You're coming with me," Coorbin said grabbing her arm. There was a split second when Coorbin saw the fist before it connected with his face. Nanao was pulled out of his reach. He grabbed the arm and threw the person across the cell. The others watched in horror as the 8th Company Captain started to fly across the cell, but he held onto Coorbin's arm. They both went flying. "Coorbin come on, quit playing with them."
"Fine," he sighed. Coorbin got up, looked at Shunsui and smiled. Shunsui was laying on the ground with blood soaking his clothes. Nanao was right by his side trying to stop the bleeding. She started bawling and saying something he couldn't hear. "If you want me to save him, come with me peacefully."
Nanao looked at her captain. He shook his head slowly. She slowly stood up. Shunsui grabbed her arm still shaking his head. She carefully took his hand in both of hers. She leaned down to her captain, put his hand to her chest and whispered, "I love you Taichou. I'm sorry to tell you when it's-"
Shunsui cut her off with a kiss. "Me too Nanao. I love you too. Please, don't go."
"I will and must. Besides when do I listen to what you say?" she asked standing. She walked over to Coorbin. He had Sentaro over his shoulder. He grabbed Nanao's arm and pulled her. When he handed Sentaro to Bormin, Coorbin said, "You'll get to meet some other well behaved prisoners now too."
