Prompt: 017. Blood

Panic was kicking in now.

Izuru was completely concentrated, healing was no easy job, especially with years out of practice. He found this out when healing up Rangiku, which was a success and had left him already feeling breathless. However he moved on without hesitance as he started to work on Momo's lung that had been punched and crushed, that was another long process as well as healing all the internal bleeding from just one hit. Momo had smiled at him reassuringly and it settled his panicked mind again.

"Sorry for getting to you so late."

"I-it's no problem Izuru-kun, I'm gl-glad that Rangiku-san is okay though."

"Hai, me too."

He then lowered his head back to his work, at least maybe now he could forgive himself for the crimes that he had committed against the two girls. He was glad that the smell of a lot of blood or the sight of it didn't bother him. Well, he didn't think it could anymore after seeing how much blood comes out of someone's body when their head is cut off. It really didn't bother him anymore, not for a long time actually, killing sort of came natural after awhile. After healing up the lung Izuru quickly set to work on healing her right arm so she could still defend herself, after that he moved away from her and the edge of the shield and then looked back at her started to sit up.

"I'll get to your other broken arm in a bit Momo-chan okay?"

"I know, you have to help Iba-fukutaichou and Shuuhei-san."

"Hai, I'll be right back, guard Rangiku-san while I'm gone, I'm going to remove the barrier."

Releasing the barrier he used shunpo to where he sensed their reiatsu and quietly took them back one by one. Resetting the barrier and then began to heal again, he almost let out a silent curse when he noticed the severity of both their wounds and hoped his energy would last. Tetsuzaemon had suffered severe burns and Shuuhei had a lot of crushed bones and a few punctured organs, not to mention a concussion. Quickly he worked on Tetsuzaemon to get him stable and then switched to the massive injuries of Shuuhei.

He began to work, slowly and agonizingly healing up each wound, Shuuhei hadn't passed out midway through healing, like Rangiku and Tetsuzaemon had. He could feel Shuuhei's eyes on him as he healed, watching him, encouraging him, understanding him. It was comforting and for once the panic didn't come back to his mind as he worked quickly. Healing the wounds to the point it wasn't critical anymore and let out a relieved sigh. Most of Shuuhei's wounds were critical so he was almost fully healed, he quickly finished healing the last up before moving to Momo because she was still awake and in pain.

"You two should head out to battle, I'll stay here and guard Rangiku-san and Iba-fukutaichou until they wake up."

"Iie." Shuuhei replied "We'll leave when we're needed, I think this is in the hands of the taichous right now anyways."

Izuru nodded as he went to heal up his last patient to perfect health and then relaxed, when he did however he felt himself sway. Maybe he had been too tense for too long but two strong arms caught him and steadied him into laying on his lap. Izuru smiled up weakly at Shuuhei, a little sheepishly too.

"Gomen na."

"Don't be, you saved all our lives… you look awful though."

"Heh. You're one to talk, if I hadn't healed you up, you'd be looking like me."

"Hai, I know. Although you look like you're the one who needs healing, all tired and bloody."

Izuru then looked down at his arms and noticed that he had their blood, it was also soaking through his uniform. "I suppose I do, but I don't care, you're all alive, that's what matters."

Shuuhei smiled and then decided to add to Izuru's statement, in a hushed voice, he leaned his head over Izuru's.

"All that matters is that you're alive."

A/N: Sadly the original design for this story was supposed to be Izuru clutching an unconscious Shuuhei who was bleeding to death. If you read the preview, what Izuru means by what he thought of being covered in their blood is that he was afraid that he'd listen to Gin and attack his friends. Well, I felt like something more fluffier than that, so forgive me.
