"Here..."a drink in some sort of metal cylinder like container, it had strange bright child like drawings on it was given to you, you thank them with a nod. Looking at it this was not like any sort of drink you had before. But you did not want to be rude, so you try to figure out a way to drink. Seeing this, they take it from you and open it for you.
"Merci."you tell them, as you look at the new hole that was made, which you where able to tell that was where you would drink from. Once the liquid touched your tongue it fizzled, as the extra air caused you to cough spiting and spilling it.
"Sorry...here."your caretaker quickly gives you a napkin. Which you take it thanking them again. Once done with your coughing, you look at the person who had be caring for you ever since you where out. They surprised you, it was a young teen girl. With dark grey eyes and black hair that she had in short ponytail. Dressed in yellow strange shirt with what looked like a skirt but it was much shorter and dark tights that those in the theater would wear. It was something strange for a female to wear. Though you had seen or pretty much heard of certain women where such inappropriate clothing. Due to their profession, surely this young girl was not in it. She could see you looking at her attire. She smiles at you."These are my clothes...sorry I forgot to introduce myself...my name is Karin Kurosaki."she introduces herself to you.
Landing in the air as if on the ground, dressed now in his shimigami attire with his broad sword strapped to his back scanning the area around him for any sort of sign of his sister, Ichigo knew she went off early this Saturday morning. Something he knew was not like her at all. Though he did his best to play it off, he watched her closely her every movement as much as he could. She was hiding something from everyone but mainly him. Being the overprotective brother that he was, even though he was aware she could handle herself he still felt the need to protect her. Thinking back to Yuzu had said to him about Karin's strange behavior she would wake up quickly clamming she was headed for soccer but yet she never dressed the part, stuff food and drinks in her bag enough for more than one, saying it was for her friends, as well one time Yuzu said she noticed a few of the blankets as well two pillows where missing. Right then Ichigo knew Karin was taking things from the house as well the clinic. He didn't know why, but he was going to find out anyway.
Trying to sense her spiritual presence in any sort of way, he couldn't. So he left that area, making his way to the soccer field she was known for playing but he didn't find her there like she claimed to be at. So she lied, nothing really new to him, but now it was. What was it that she was lying about? And was it that she could not tell him? Didn't she trust him enough? These question hurt the orange haired teen in the lack of distrust his sister had with her secret. Probably, this was how Yuzu was feeling with Karin always running off and not telling her anything. Trying to think of another area when it clicked, the park.
He saw her running through it as well he heard others tell him he saw his sister running through. Wasting no time he hastily makes his way over there. Landing on the ground luckily people who could not see him, went straight through his spirit form. Making more easier for him to look for Karin. But at the sametime he wished he was back in his physical form at least then he could ask one of them if they had seen his sister at all. But his body was elsewhere. Walking among the others looking here and there for signs of his younger sister. But to no avail he found nothing. Not a trace of her.
Resting his hand on the back of his head, trying hard to figure out what to do next. He had, had to find her.
Karin opens up a bag of chips for you, holding it out for you take. You look at this, seeing as well smelling that it was food in some sort of way, you take one looking at this dry piece of food that was small. It felt oily, taking a bite that was crunchy. And it tasted good. You take another one and another one. Never had you tasted something like this. Whatever it was, you finished it.
Seeing this Karin quickly opens up another bag, giving it you. You take it from her thanking her. She just watches you, which you noticed. Assuming she wanted some you offer her the bag, she puts up her hands gesturing no. But you kept it out till she took some. Which she did, thanking you. Not understanding her, until you realized that you could. Reaching out your finger, you put on her forehead which she wondered why.
Karin then felt something warm inside her from your touch, it felt...good. It lasted just a few seconds, then it was over. She touches her forehead where your finger once was. It still felt warm, but then it faded.
"Thank you."you tell her, she looks at you shocked that you spoke though mainly in her language she was sure that you spoke another one. Seeing the look on her face in slight shock.
"Y-you can speak?"she asks.
"Yes, I can. Infact, I can speak quite a few."you tell her.
"...But, you're speaking my language."she tells you still trying to understand."How?"
Clearing your throat, you look at her. As try to figure out a way to tell her. But nothing really came to your mind."To be honest, I don't really know. I've always been able too. Every since I was little girl."
"Oh, well it did come in handy. I don't know if you heard my name before. But let me introduce myself again. I'm Karin Kurosaki."she tells you.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Karin Kurosaki."you bow your head a bit."I am, Alena."
"Wow, that's a pretty name."she compliments you.
"As is yours. I've never heard of a such a name. Karin. Nor your last name, Kurosaki. But it sounds strong."you smile at her. She smiles back, you look around much more, seeing this place was not any place you knew. This was the room you had last been in. Karin saw this.
"Your in a room, of a friend of mine."she tells you, getting your attention which you turn and look at her. Wanting her to keep going. Just as she was about too, the door slide open, the two of you look to see who it was coming.
A pair of elderly eyes was slightly shocked to see you awake but that went away with as the person smiled at you. She was an older woman with short brown and brown kind soft eyes that reminded you of your adoptive father, she was dressed in violet jacket though not one you had ever seen, with yellow under shirt and long pink skirt. She was carrying a tray of food, she comes over to you and Karin handing the teen the tray.
"Thank you, Miss Haru."Karin tells her with a smile.
"You're welcome."Miss Haru then looks to you"My it is good to see your pretty face up. Oh...what lovely eyes you have."she tells you smiles.
"Thank you, ma'am."you thank her. You then look around the room again."These are your quarters of living?"you look at Miss Haru.
"Why yes, Karin brought you here awhile back. She found you. And since then has been taking great care of you."she looks onto Karin who blushes out of embarrassment. Looking away.
"Thank you, Karin. That was very gracious of you."you tell her. She mumbles a bit but gives you a small smile.
"Here."she holds out some food for you. You look at it, you had never seen anything like this. She saw you looking slightly cautious at the food."It's good, I promise you."
"I believe you, it's just I've never seen food such as this. Before."you tell her, as you pick up what looked like a cookie. And take a bite. It was good. Blush came on your face."This is very delicious. My compliments Miss Haru."
Karin cocks her head to the side."Why are you speaking like that?"
You look at her stopping yourself from eating."Speak like what?"
"Your speech, it's very...proper...something out the renaissance."she uses her hands to add a bit extra.
You look at her."Oh, this is way to talk. Is it not?"
"Well, yeah along time ago."she tells you. She then started to think."Then again...when I found you, you where dressed in..."she says to herself. You look at Miss Haru then at Karin.
"Karin?"
She looks at you. Her eyes then land on your wings. You notice this but it did not really phase you, as you where more focused her."It doesn't matter. Never mind."she smiles at you brushing it off.
"Are you sure?"you asks her. Which she just nods.
"Though, how does your back feel?"she changes the subject, you look carefully touch your back, when you did it still stung as you winch from the pain. Karin goes to you to make sure you where alright.
"Thank you, it seems my back is still not well. Nor...my wings."you sadly look at them. A weak sad smile comes to you face.
"Alena...are you alright?"Karin asks as she helps you back up.
"...It is alright."you tell her. She looks at you concerned.
"Are you sure?"
You nod your head, patting her hand. Sighing as you sit up the best way you could with Karin's help. Her eyes didn't leave you only to look at your bandages, she saw that they needed to be change. She was thankful that she helped out her father in his clinic happy to know that she some sort of medical skills.
"Should probably change the bandages."she tells you."I have a bit left, though I'll have to get some more later."she lets you go going to her bag as she takes out some bandages. Miss Haru excused herself to go and get some more things for her. Taking out some scissors, she starts to cut the bandage that was wrapped around you. As she did so, you mind was elsewhere. Inside you where filled with cold fear, thinking about your wings. When you did a breaking sound with a blood scream rang through your mind, which made you jump."Alena, are you ok?"she asks concerned. You look at her and smile.
"Yes, just cold hands. Sorry."you lie to her with a smile. She looks at you again, then goes back to tending to you. Your smile faded, placing your hand on your back gently. As it trembled, you where petrified no matter what look you gave, it showed in your eyes. A look that Karin noticed even if you tired to hide it.
