Tomorrow, Nina guaranteed herself to be very happy. Because her brother Daren unexpectedly came to Karakura town, Nina felt as though she had to be there too in order to avoid getting into trouble with him. Being away from Hueco Mundo meant being away from Ulquiorra. She was happy that she was free from captivity, she was still disappointed but that would all change tomorrow. Nina grabbed a glass of water and some painkillers and brought them to Daren's dark room. As soon as she opened the door, he shouted with his hands on his head.

"Aaaaaagh. This headache. You're letting the light in." Daren yelled. After passing out from Grimmjow's spiritual pressure, he woke up with the worst headache. Nina closed the door behind her. "Do you have to close the door so loudly?"

"I'm sorry but you wanted me to get the painkillers." Nina frowned. "By the way, yelling only makes it worse."

"I think I've got a migraine. I may have to miss work." Daren said and Nina froze.

"D***it, he can't get sick. I'm supposed to go back to Hueco Mundo tomorrow to see Ulquiorra and I won't be able to if he gets sick." Nina thought. Daren sunk into his bed in the fetal position with his hands putting pressure on his head to soften the pain. Nina set the water and painkiller on his night table then backed out of the room trying to open and close the door as quietly as possible. "This isn't supposed to happen." Nina walked over to the kitchen and placed her hands on the countertop to think. "There's gotta be a way that I can make him better so that he can get out of my life sooner." Nina's head jerked up as an idea popped into her brain. She ran across the room jumping over chairs and tables in order to get over to the phone.

"Shut up." Daren shouted after Nina had finished moving. Nina began dialling Orihime's number to get her help. Nina prayed as it rang four times before Orihime picked it up. She skipped the small talk and asked her to come over as quick as she could.

"I'm here." Orihime sang bursting through the door half an hour later. Nina shushed her and pointed to Daren's room. A low moan was heard shortly after. "What can I do for you Nina?"

"Orihime, you've got to help me." Nina whispered with emphasis. "I told you that once Daren is gone I can go see Ulquiorra right?" Orihime nodded. "Well I was going to see him tomorrow but Daren is sick so he is planning on staying home until he is better and I cannot wait any longer.

"Say no more. You want me to use my healing powers on him don't you?"

"Please? He's had this headache ever since Grimmjow released his spiritual pressure. I don't think that Daren could handle it so he passed out."

"How am I able to heal him without him knowing about my powers?" Orihime asked. Nina thought.

"I have a perfect idea." Nina said. She told Orihime to wait there then she snuck into Daren's room alone.

"What do you want?" Daren asked with a pillow overtop of his head. Nina breathed in deeply as she closed the door behind her.

"Brother, I need to ask you something."

"What is it? Can't it wait?" Daren said lifting the pillow off of his head. Unexpectedly, Nina punched his face as hard as she could to knock him out then let Orihime inside.

"Way to go. That sure worked. It may have been harsh."

"Oh please, that was gentle for me. Just make sure that you heal his broken nose too." Nina laughed. Orihime released her powers and put a healing barrier overtop of the unconscious Daren. There was a brief moment of silence between them as Nina watched Orihime's powers. "How did you get these amazing powers, Orihime?"

"I don't really know. Urahara said that these powers were sleeping inside of me and they all of a sudden woke up once Ichigo was in trouble. Ever since then, I have learned to bring them out whenever I need them." Orihime explained.

"That's so cool. Your power of 'healing' is very useful because there's always a time where someone will get hurt."

"Yeah, but I don't ever want to see my friends get hurt. It's not a pleasant thing to watch."

"That's for sure. It would be hard seeing some that you love so much and suddenly they are gone forever." Nina said unconsciously curling her hands up into fists thinking of when she lost her parents and then Ulquiorra. Orihime nodded. There was silence again between the two for a few more moments.

"So you say that you're going back to see Ulquiorra tomorrow?" Orihime asked breaking the silence.

"Yeah, I'm so excited. It feels like it has been months."

"Are you going to tell him?"

"Tell him what?"

"Don't you remember what we talked about in school the other day?"

"Of course but I can't tell him that and I told you why."

"Yes but you said it yourself that you want him to know."

"I know, I can't just say it whenever, it has to be a special moment for the both of us." Nina began to feel a knot being tied in her stomach. "It's gonna be way harder telling him then just telling you as a friend. I wonder what he will say back or do?"

"The important thing is that you tell him or else you will never know what he may say or do. Even though he may not love you, at least you will get this burden off of you."

"I know." Nina sighed. Orihime set her hands down as her powers dissipated.

"There, all finished."

"Good. We should get out of here before he wakes up." Nina said. Orihime nodded and then they quietly snuck out of the room and sat on the couch in the living room. "Thanks Orihime. I owe you big time."

"You're welcome. Happy I could help." Orihime smiled sweetly. Not even moments later, Daren came out rubbing his head and walked over to the fridge.

"Man I must have been so drunk, I can't even remember what happened since a few nights ago. If my boss finds out about this, I'll be in big trouble." Daren said taking out some orange juice and pouring it in a glass.

"Relax, there was no party. You just weren't feeling the best is all."

"Well that's a relief. I better get packing." Daren took his glass of orange juice with him into his room. As soon as he closed the door behind him, Nina almost squealed.

"I can't believe it worked." She said. Orihime laughed.

"Yeah, I'd never think that I would be able to cure sickness."

"Hey that's right. This means that you can save the sick not just the injured."

"I wonder if I could cure cancer or the common cold." Orihime fantasized.

"You have the most amazing power, you could help so many people."

"Too bad I can't just clone myself. That way I'd be able to save all the sick and injured people in this world." Orihime thought out loud as she walked over to the door. "I have to get going back home now and do some chores."

"Thanks so much for your help Orihime." Nina thanked holding the door open.

"No problem. Tell me how everything goes between you and Ulquiorra when you see him."

"I will." Nina nodded.
