Something Is Wrong

When I woke up the next day Izuru wasn't in his bed. It seems he snuck out last night. I slipped out of the room and went to ask anyone if they seen him. I wondered around the whole dorm asking everyone if they had seen Izuru. I managed to find Renji, but even he didn't see him.

"Renji! Hey Wait UP!!" I called running after the red head.

"Hey Kimmi. What has you this worked up?" Renji asked.

"Izuru snuck out last night from what it looks like"

"WHAT!? That idiot!!"

"Have you seen him?"

"If I have trust me he wouldn't be alive"

"Oi! Where can he be!?"

"Who knows? Are you going to try and find him?"

"Duh. Of course I am…I'm worried about him"

"You like him don't you"

"If I said I did?"

Renji laughed a little, "He probably ran off so you wouldn't worry about him. He hates making you worry about him"

"Really?" I asked confused.

"Yeah." Renji sighed.

I thanked him for his help and decided to go look around the academy. There isn't any way he could of gotten far. Not with how weak he looked, but then again I could be wrong. I walked out into the main yard and shivered a little. The morning was still cool and fresh. I began to walk across the grass still covered in dew. It was still early so there was a chance I might run into some one who might have seen Izuru. I was worried about him. Ever since I met Izuru I knew I could trust him, but now for some reason I felt panicked.

I kept searching around the academy and asked anyone who might of seen Izuru. No one had seen him since last night. I growled in frustration and decided I was going to ask for help from a few people. I managed to convince Renji, Momo, and Hisagi to help me look. We decided to break up into teams of two and cover more ground. Renji and Momo headed south while Hisagi and I went north. We were all worried for our friend's well being, and if he was still alive.



We all met up for a small brake close to fifth company. So far none of us had any luck on even finding a trace of the blonde. Captain Aizen and Gin noticed us before we noticed them. They walked out of the shadows and asked us what was wrong and why we weren't in class.

"Our one friend went missing last night" Momo said.

"We've been looking for him all day" Renji sighed.

I nodded, "But we're running out of ideas on where to look"

Gin frowned slightly, "That's not good at all. Would you like my help?"

Aizen smiled softly, "We'll help you find him"

Momo's eyes went wide eyed with admiration, "Thank you Captain Aizen!"

Aizen shook his head, "It's nothing. Come on Gin lets help them out"

Gin nodded and smiled, "Sure thing"

I decided to head off with Gin and Hisagi and go in a different direction. I had told Gin everything that had been going on. He nodded as if he understood me and listed off areas where we might want to try out luck at. The first few places were small restaurants, no luck there. I began to think about the things Izuru had told me. He always felt he was a horrible fighter, and needed to improve. That hit me like a brick wall. He was probably training somewhere close by! Gin noticed the change in my facial expression.

"Did you think of something?" Gin asked.

I nodded, "Yeah. Just follow me"

"Are you sure about this?" Hisagi asked doubtfully.

Gin sighed, "We won't know till we go look now will we?"

Hisagi nodded, "Yeah. Lead the way Kimmi"

I look at both of them and nodded, "Gladly"

I led them to a small forest area where Izuru and I often liked to relax and get away from the busy school life. Sure enough I heard something that resembled a sword hitting off of something. Perhaps wood? I hid behind a tree and sure enough we found Izuru. He looked extremely pale and exhausted. His eyes looked tired and it was a miracle he could even stand on his own two feet. However, there was a spark of determination in his eyes. He continued to practice and I tried to think of a way to approach him. Izuru looked extremely out of it. He sat down for a few moments and held his head as if he was dizzy or had a severe headache. I walked out of my hiding place and he noticed me.

"Izuru?" I asked gently.



Izuru looked up at me, "Why are you here?"

"You weren't at the dorm. I was worried about you"

"I'm sorry about that. I needed some fresh air"

"Are you ok? You look miserable and awful"

"I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy that's all"

"You're lying"

"Kimmi I'm fine. Please don't worry about me"

"Well either way come on everyone else is still looking for you"

"Ok" Izuru replied quietly.

I helped him up and grabbed his sword and led the way. Hisagi and Gin still stayed in the cover of the trees. Izuru slowed down a little and coughed. I wasn't buying his excuses saying he was fine. There was obviously something wrong with him. He got himself straighten out and began to walk ahead. Suddenly he fainted! I quickly ran up to him and checked for any vital signs. He was breathing and he still had a pulse. Gin and Hisagi quickly came to my side. Gin quickly picked up Izuru's limp body and led the way to fourth. Hisagi went to go tell Momo, Renji, and Aizen that we had found him.

Gin sighed, "This boy is as light as a feather. He probably fainted from hunger and exhaustion"

I nodded, "Probably. He hasn't been himself lately"

"Well that's not good at all"

"I know. I just hope he's going to be ok"

Gin smiled warmly, "He's going to be fine. You'll see"

With those words we made our way to fourth in silence. When we got there everyone was asking questions. Which were answered in the terms I don't know what happened. Gin laid Izuru down on one of the beds and left him in my mother's care. Deep down inside I hoped that everything was fine and there was nothing wrong.
