Genre: Family
Main Characters: Toshiro, Matsumoto
Rating: K+
The small taicho lay on the cell bunk, his body stiff from being chained to one spot, unable to heal his broken body. Footsteps fell on the cold stone outside the cell, but he didn't look up. Exhaustion racked his body. A voice came from the door. "Taicho?" This caused his eyes to blink open, but didn't cause his body to move. "Unohana Taicho! I found taicho! He is over here!"
At that, the boy tried lifting his body up, only for it to shake uncontrollably. The voice came to him again. "Hold on taicho. We're going to get you out of there."
"How?" The boy rasped the word out.
There was a clinking of the door and footsteps walked over to the bed. "I know. The captains were hard put. But we did it. We were lucky because we had Yamamoto Taicho and Unohana I think."
Two strong arms lifted the boy up and began to rock the child in her arms. A cold hand felt his forehead, feeling the hot fever that racked the small body. At that, two teal eyes, lacking their normal brightness opened up and looked up at the female. His words slurred as he spoke up. "I'm glad Matsumoto is all right."
The hand carefully brushed the hair away. "I know taicho." She then pulled the head into her chest, bidding him to fall back asleep.
