After sometime, Kami's wounds were healed enough for just some simple bandages. "Thank you, Orihime." Kami said, staring off into the distance. She looked to Toshiro. "Is it time to go report this to the higher ups?" She asked.
"It's already been reported." Toshiro said. "I need to bring this blood sample to Captain Kurotsuchi. The Head Captain would like some proof of my…claim." He looked to Kami. "Did Ryuu or Daisuke say anything to you?"
Kami nodded. "Not directly, but they talked about some "Kuragari", thinking that I couldn't hear them."
"Did they say anything else?" Renji asked Kami.
"They said they need more souls." Kami said, looking down. The air suddenly got tense.
"Man, your…friends are seriously bad." Ichigo said.
Kami glared at him, her eyes dark, scary, and sad.
"Idiot." Rukia muttered to Ichigo, crossing her arms.
Kami turned, her back to the small group. "What now, Toshiro?" She asked.
Toshiro took a breath, so close to losing it. "Captain Hitsugaya," he corrected coldly. "and we're going back."
"To the Soul Society?" Kami asked.
"Where else?" Renji asked.
Kami grit her teeth, running up to Renji, jumping up, and punched him in the face as Orihime screamed. "SHUT UP!" She shouted.
"Stand down!" Toshiro ordered.
Kami balled her fists, standing in a battle stance. She growled, angrily eyeing everyone around her.
"Kami!" Toshiro snapped.
She looked to the Captain. Everyone backed away from her, slowly. She saw that Renji had his hand on Zabimaru's hilt and Ichigo was clearly ready to pull out his sword. She noticed Rukia had her hands out, ready to use Kido.
"What!? Do you think I'm like Ryuu and I'm gonna hurt people!?" She shouted.
Renji eyed her. "Well, you did punch me. Isn't that hurting someone?"
"Well, then, you need to toughen up, wimp!" Kami shouted. "That was nothing!" She shouted getting up in his face
Renji narrowed his eyebrows. "What? So I need to man up, short fry!?" He shouted down at her.
"No! Not 'Man' up! 'Toughen' up!" Kami shouted.
"There's no difference! They both mean the same thing!" Renji yelled, getting angry.
"Yeah there is, idiot! If you, or Ichigo, or whoever else is a 'man', then both the world of the living and the soul society are screwed!" Kami shouted.
"I don't follow." Renji said, backing off.
"Yeah, because you're too much of a 'man' to understand logic, dumbas-." Kami hissed.
"Kami, that's enough!" Toshiro shouted, cutting her off as he suddenly appearing in front of her. "Back down." He said so coldly, the air seemed to get 20 degrees cooler.
Kami looked up, eyes wide. This was the first time in a while she actually felt…fear. She stood up straight, looking down, taking a few steps back like an upset puppy after its owner yelled at it for barking.
Toshiro looked to Renji and Rukia. "I know I'm not in charge of you, but can you two stay here with Ichigo and the others to keep an eye on things?"
Rukia and Renji nodded. Renji was just glad he was going to be able to stay away from Kami.
Toshiro then glanced at Kami, who was still looking down at the ground. "Rangiku, You, Kami, and I will be going back to the Soul Society."
"Yes, Sir!" Rangiku said, nodding. This was a crazy night. Oh well, today was paperwork day. I got to miss most of it!
