Chapter 6: The True Meaning of Pain

Just as Unohana-taichou realized this, Hitsugaya's eyes snapped open, and he began struggling against his mask and IV, as if he were in pain.

Unohana: This is really bad! Oh no.. Everyone leave immediately so I can give emergency treatment.

Hinamori: Huh? What's going on? Why… How… Where…

Unohana glanced at Hinamori wearily. "Quiver, lose breath, burn up, lose desire to live, we might be able to deal with. I have to ask you Hinamori, has Hitsugaya-taichou had any very bad injuries in his life?

Hinamori: Well, yes. The time when he protected me from the tiger that threatened to attack, the time he fought Aizen, and the time he fought with the Arrancar in the human world. Oh, he also sustained many injuries in the war. That' all I know of. I'm sure that there were more.

Unohana: This is even worse than I thought. Hinamori, you see, this stage will get back all his old injuries at once, and making it ten times worse.

They stared at each other for a while. Then Hinamori slowly backed out of the room. Leaving Unohana alone with the child prodigy. "Okay, lets get ready then." Not a moment too soon. Hitsugaya's yells died down as blood soaked his body.

"Quick! Get the emergency treatment squad in here ASAP!" hollered Unohana through the door. A few seconds later, 10 shinigami burst through the door with all their equipment. "You don't need that now!" said Unohana in frustration. "Just stop the bleeding!"

"Hai, Taichou!"

They rushed around, trying to obey their orders. Unohana was still busy trying to heal up Hitsugaya's wounds. But they were coming at such an alarming rate, and opening up right after she healed them.

Unohana: This is getting us nowhere! Gotta do something quick! Arrgh!

Just then, a messenger from center room came in. "Unohana-taichou! We might've found a way to heal Methabanium!"
