"Out! Get out! I'm fine!" Hiyori shouted.
"Hiyori..." Shinji began, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"No! I don't want to go!" she argued.
"Do you realize how whiny and selfish you sound?" Rose asked.
"Do I care?" Hiyori asked sarcastically, being dragged away by Shinji. He pulled her into the kitchen where their meal was still waiting.
"What are you doing?" he whispered, "It was one thing when we were hiding...but they've found us and came to personally pick us up. We have to go."
"No we don't!" she spat.
"Why don't you want to go back? What do you have against the vaizard?!" he asked, sounding almost annoyed.
"I just don't" she said.
"Why?!" he persisted.
"The man who attacked me swore revenge. If I go back I'll jeopardize the existence of vaizard" she explained, "I dragged you along because you're stronger than me and I knew you'd avenge me."
"Who was this guy?" he inquired.
"Some arrancar, I think he was called Grimmjow" she said.
"Son of a bitch" he muttered.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"The vaizard will get on fine without us" he said, grabbing her and running.
"Slow down!" she whined, a quarter of a mile away from the house now.
"We don't have time to" he panted, "The vaizard are bright, they'll figure out that we're gone soon."
"They follow you as a leader. I'm not concerned" she mumbled.
"Be nice. I'm saving your ass" he reminded.
"Never asked you to" she snapped.
"Fine then, I'll just take you back" he threatened.
"No!" she exclaimed, "Don't you dare!"
The stubborn desperation in her voice almost made him feel sorry for constantly taunting her.
"Alright, alright" he sighed, tossing her over his shoulder. They ran further, now too far away from the house to find their way back.
"Shinji...it's cold" she complained, rubbing her hands together.
"Alright, the others will be out looking for us so it's safe for us to get some things" he said, headed toward the abandoned factory building they called "home".
When the arrived, they found Ichigo, waiting to continue his training.
"Hiyori!" he exclaimed, immediately noticing her wound. Grabbing her from Shinji, he began running to the family clinic.
"Kurosaki! Hey!" Shinji called, chasing him.
"Where the hell are you taking me, dickhead?!" she yelled, trying to get free,
"I'm taking you to the hospital, dumbass" he spat, turning down his street.
Bursting through the doors, he was immediately joined by Karin and Yuzu, who already had a cot arranged for her. Shortly behind them, Shinji came running through the doors, panting.
Hiyori!" he called, lost in the middle of the chaos.
"You there!" Isshin Kurosaki called, "What's your buisness here?! Please go to the waiting room!"
"Where the hell is she?" Shinji growled, grabbing Isshin's collar.
"P-please stop, we're treating Hiyori-san's wounds right now" Yuzu said, innocently pulling on his pant leg to get his attention. Looking down at the innocent looking girl, he sighed and went into yet another waiting room. God, how he was sick of waiting rooms.
