When Kyoraku woke he expected to find 'the light' he had jokingly spoken with Ukitake or pitch darkness, many things not in nearly unbearable pain which clearly stated he was alive staring at a cream colored ceiling. A scream tore from his throat when there was a gasp from his left, his vision swarm as he felt like curling up when dainty hands moved his arm away and he heard someone speak, a female yet he couldn't make out her words. There was a sigh and then, a warm soothing feeling that began from the wound in the center of his chest throughout his body.
"…W…Where…?" he coughed and it stung the wound in his chest,
"Please don't speak" the voice belonged to a girl, it was quite childish her small arm wound around his shoulders helping him up as a cup was brought to his lips and he greedily drank the water. "I found you 10 days ago, you were bleeding out and I managed to bring you home. I haven't been able to get in contact with Soul Society since Otou-san took the Deireinshiki and both Hueco Mundo and Soul Society are on Quarantine, it will be for several weeks because the Dimensions were on the verge of crashing so…" he gave a small nod of understanding, he finally was able to see the girl "I'm Yuzu Kurosaki."
So that answered the reason she could see him…
"Kyoraku Shunsui"
"So you're a Captain, Onii-chan spoke about you a few times" the girl said as she grabbed the cloth on his forehead and cleaned the sweat on his face "I nearly had a heart attack when I found you" the girl admitted. He hummed closing his eyes as she reset the cloth on his forehead "unlike my siblings my ability to see the dead isn't very reliable, there are times where I could see them clearly and times where I can't, that changed 3 weeks ago. It was the first time I saw a Shinigami, well Otou-san and Onii-chan don't really count since I really can't see them as another species other than two fools who need to find a new way of greeting each other" he gave a small chuckle having heard Isshin's so-called training from Ukitake from what Rukia told him.
"Ite…"
"Ah sorry, I really shouldn't have made you laugh" the girl said looking on the verge of panicking "…you died 3 times on the first day, it took a while to revive you and the time period each time grew longer so I thought you were a dead man for sure and I really don't mean any pun with that" Yuzu stated with concern, "I only know minor healing Kido that Otou-san taught me, but for now its my Reiatsu that is keeping you alive." Ah, that defienetly explained the intruding yet warm presence in his body "you've been unconscious or delirious, I didn't think it possible for a person to have their own weapon through their heart."
"!" now he remembered "Ukitake!"
"Wait, don't get up!" the girl cried leaning over to push him back down "Ukitake-san is fine, I managed to tell Rukia-chan I had found a Shinigami since I didn't know your name I gave her your description. She only gave me a rushed explanation, but no Captains died since Ichigo arrived on time to end the War!" he relaxed, Ichigo…of course. The boy stopped Aizen, there wasn't a reason why he would have been unable to stop Yhwach "rest some more, you can't eat yet since your wound isn't completely healed" she sat up and reached over to turn of the light.
The girl was for the lack of better words, a mother hen which had him giving a chuckle or two although she was cute the girl seemed completely oblivious to the attention the male species gave her. Isshin defienetly overprotected her…while it was strictly forbidden to do anything that would strain his wounds, it had taken much convincing for her to permit him to get out of bed. He usually spent his time lounging on the couch reading books while the girl was in School because it was inexcusable to miss even. Although that did not deter her from her task of making sure he was healed and alive by the time he would be able to return to Soul Society.
"I'm back!" the girl called out, she peaked into the living room "I'll go change and then, I'll check your wounds" Yuzu said so he simply nodded in response before she retreated upstairs. Kyoraku found her adorable, her enthusiasm for learning of the supernatural was quite expected yet she was quite the eager learner so he didn't see any harm in teaching her some Kido that according to her, Isshin had taught her a few Kido spells that he realized belonged to the Shiba Clan. He's certain that Ukitake would adore her, although there was no time to ponder on that thought because only painful concern came with the thought of his childhood friend.
"That was less painful" Kyoraku said as the girl prodded the wound on his back, she glanced at him clearly unimpressed
"You're sweating, Kyoraku-san" oops? The warmth of healing kido filled his back and he sighed softly, he's never felt such gentle Reiatsu in all his centuries of life that by simply sensing the girl he can feel at ease. "It looks okay now, 2 more days" the girl says as she walks around to couch picking up a roll of bandages and she sets the gauze on the tender cut on the center of his chest "how does anyone survive after getting a sword through their heart is beyond me" the girl remarked as she began to bandage his torso leaning a bit too close which made him a little uneasy.
"A Shinigami's Reiatsu is his lifespan, the injury doesn't matter unless our Saketsu and Hakusui is pierced which mine wasn't" he informed.
"What if they had been?"
"A Shinigami loses all of his power."
