for reviewing! :D Thanks a bunch! And as I said, or wrote, this chapter is short. Don't worry people, this ain't the last chapter.

Disclaimer – I do not own Bleach, but I do own the three women.

When Shun opened her eyes, the world was blurry, but she could make out a red sky, closing her eyes a second later and groaning. What happened? Why the hell does it feel like she was rammed into again and again? Her body ached. She opened her eyes once more, her vision distorted, becoming more clearer when she would blink.

She was staring at the sky.

She raised an eyebrow, looking to the side, seeing that she was on the Sokyoku hill. All she remembered was killing that bastard and falling forward in a bloody mess. She looked back up, closing her eyes and curling her upper lip. She hurt so fucking much! She should have just killed them right away.

"Hey."

Wondering who that was, she opened her eyes, blinking once when she saw her Captain standing over her, a frown on his face, arms folded over his chest inside his shihakusho. A small frown appeared on her face, her brows pulled together.

"Captain Zaraki... care to tell me why the hell I'm still on this damn hill?" Shun asked, lip curled back, her hand clenched.

A smirk appeared on Kenpachi's face, making the frown on the woman's face deepen. What the hell was so damn amusing? She tried to raise her arm, only to widen her eyes and look down. Her right arm was missing. She narrowed her eyes and frowned.

"Shit... thought I was only dreaming that happened." Shun muttered, looking at the sky.

She sighed, closing her eyes, feeling as though she couldn't stand or sit. Not being one to like looking weak, she used her arm as leverage, pushing herself up, making the Captain frown and narrow his eyes. She was too damn weak to do anything. Shun let out a shuddering breath when she sat up, closing her eyes in pain, clenching her teeth together.

"Ah, fuck that hurt." Shun growled, glaring straight ahead.

"You know that woman's going to get pissed if yer already up." Kenpachi said, meaning the Captain of the fourth squad.

"Don't give a shit about what she says." Shun said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"SHUN!"

She widened her eyes and turned her head, seeing Rio and Yuri running towards her, bright smiles on their faces. Kenpachi frowned and walked away, sensing that all three needed to talk to each other. Shun felt a small smile grace her lips, glad both women were okay.

...

...

...

...

Wait a second.

They were moving kind of fast.

She widened her eyes when she saw a dust trail following both women, both Rio and Yuri speeding up. She paled and flinched. Oh, fucking hell! She tried to stand, which was difficult, wondering what the hell those idiots were doing.

"WAIT YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!" Shun yelled, closing her eyes and covering her face.

Both women skidded to a stop in front of her, both smiling brightly, so happy that Shun was up and okay. Though... she looked like a mummy. Shun still covered her face, until she opened one eye, seeing that they stopped. She lowered her arm and frowned deeply.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Shun asked, glaring at both women.

"Kitty! You're okay!" Yuri yelled, throwing her arms in the air, jumping several times out of happiness. "We thought you were going to be out of it for a few days."

"...I'm tired and already have a headache." Shun said, holding her head, laying down.

Rio smiled, furrowing her eyebrows, sitting down on her knees. Yuri also sat down, smiling brightly down at her friend, her eyes welling up with tears. Shun glanced at both women, her eyes narrowed and mouth in a firm line. She sighed and closed her eyes, seeing that it looked like both women wanted to cry. A small breeze went by, blowing Rio and Yuri's hair to the side, staring down at their friend with sad smiles.

"...Sorry..."

They blinked, widening their eyes slightly. Did she just... apologize again? Rio and Yuri gazed at their friend.

"Shun..."

"Kitty...?"

Shun covered her eyes with her arm, her mouth in a deep frown. She curled her upper lip, clenching her hand, most of her body bandaged. Rio and Yuri furrowed their eyebrows when Shun moved her arm slightly, looking at the sky, the sun going down. They had watched as the Captain of the fourth healed Shun, gazing at her arm the whole time.

"I... I didn't mean... I wasn't..." Shun sighed, closing her eyes.

"Shun... what are you trying to say?" Rio asked, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion along with Yuri, wondering why the woman looked troubled.

"I... I didn't mean that... when I said that you two... weren't my friends... I didn't mean that." Shun muttered, looking to the side, away from her friends, avoiding eye contact. "When I yelled at you... and hurt you... I was actually very pissed at myself for trying to push you away." She curled her lip back, eyebrows pulled together. "But I had to do something... so I could kill that bastard."

Rio and Yuri gazed at their friend, seeing her shoulders shake, their eyebrows furrowed.

"I wanted to apologize... but my fucking pride was in the damn way... I also couldn't apologize because I had to go through with my plan." Shun said, removing her arm, looking at the sky, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Your plan?" Yuri asked, leaning forward, swallowing hard.

Shun didn't answer. She closed her eyes and looked towards her friends, opening her eyes again, holding out her hand. Rio and Yuri looked at her hand, reaching for Shun and grabbing her offered hand. Shun looked at both women, frowning deeply, tightening her grip.

"I'm sorry... Rio... Yuri... I'm so fucking sorry." Shun muttered, closing her eyes, eyebrows pulled together.

Rio and Yuri widened their eyes slightly. They furrowed their eyebrows and closed their eyes, holding Shun's hand tightly. The black haired woman opened her eyes, gazing at her two friends, seeing them staring at her. They looked at her body, seeing her clothes torn and her body bandaged, wondering how far she had to push herself.

"...Sorry..." Shun muttered.

Rio and Yuri felt their eyes welling up with tears, hearing Shun chant "Sorry" over and over again, hearing her apologize so openly for the first time. They widened their eyes when Shun's eyes started to close, her grip on their hands going limp. Before they could panic, someone stood over them, making them turn their heads.

"She's only resting." Unohana said, seeing that Shun's eyes were closed, a smile on her face.

Rio and Yuri relaxed, turning their heads, staring at their friend. They closed their eyes for a second before opening them, smiles on their faces. They held her hand tightly, even though she was unconscious, their hands trembling.

"Shun..." Rio closed her eyes and smiled sadly. "I'm so glad... you stayed alive."

"We love you Kitty." Yuri muttered, closing her eyes and giggling.

The two women held her hand tightly, not letting go, holding her hand close to their bodies. They were glad... their friend didn't die and was their friend... again. Tears rolled down their faces, falling onto their laps. They muttered another sentence, which made Unohana smile.

"Don't leave us again... please?"
