Oh yeah! Part 4! Party time! XD Typing is tireing... XD

The star shined bright the next morning, and Hanataro, back at squad four, was woken from the sound of humming. He wandered for a while to see where it came from, then he wandered near my room.

"The humming is louder in this place," he thought, pondering where it was coming from. Pacing back and forth, still pondering. He passed my room where it was louder than the rest. "Hmmmm….. I wonder…" he said softly to himself. Hanataro cracked open my door, without me noticing and listened to me hum. I looked over to the door and saw him standing there.

I nearly fell off the bed yelling "Sh- Hanataro! How long have you been standing there?"

"Oh a couple minutes. I'm sorry for startling you Ms. Patrina. I heard you humming."

"Yeah."

"Your voice sounds good. Sounds like you have your voice back."

"Yeah I do." I cleared my throat. "Well, most of it."

"That's good." Hanataro smiled brightly.

"Yeah that is good." Unohanna mentioned and walked in. "I thought I heard a racket in here."

"Heh, sorry Unohanna." I said.

"No worries Patrina. You have someone here to see you. She heard about you from Izuru and Renji and came here to meet you."

"Okay, she can come in." Unohanna opened the door and a girl with a bun in her hair walked in. She looked really shy and she bowed when she saw me.

"Hello pleased to meet you."

"You don't have to bow um….. Er…."

"Momo. Momo Hinamori." Unohanna introduced her. "And this is Patrina." She introduced me as well.

Momo bowed again. "Pleased to meet you."

"You don't have to repeat yourself. So you know Izuru and Renji huh?" I asked.

"Yes, they were my classmates. We were in the advanced classes and we saved Shuhei from a huge hollow."

"Oh is that so." I laughed. "That guy is a weakling. I pinned him to the ground!"

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah" I said, still laughing.

"Oh." Momo responded. I was laughing too hard I guess, because the next thing I knew, I was clutching my stomach in pain.

"Careful Ms. Patrina your wounds may open!" Hanataro yelled.

"Careful" said Unohanna "It's your first real day of recovery. You have to take it easy so the wounds don't open. It will take longer if they open again. You don't want that do you?" I nodded my head no. "Now I have to check on other patients. Momo, make sure she doesn't overexert herself."

"Okay captain Unohanna!" Unohanna walked out and left along with Hanataro.

"So…. Who's your captain?" I asked.

"I don't have one." Momo's sweet little voice turned sad.

"Why? Aren't you supposed to?" Momo shook her head no with more sadness and grief.

"Captain Aizen…. He betrayed us….."

"Oh….. I'm sorry Momo…"

"It's okay…."

"Wow by the looks of it, you respected him an awful lot Momo."

"Yeah. Then he just betrayed us like that! Izuru and Shuhei have that story also. Izuru greatly respected Gin and Captain Tosen Shuhei followed with respect. But we all got betrayed by the three of them."

"Oh…. I was wondering why there wasn't a captain wandering around…. Wow."

"Yeah. What squad are you a part of?"

"Thirteen. I got captain Ukitake's squad."

"Oh huh. I haven't seen Ukitake in a while. How is he doing?"

"Oh he's good."

"Oh okay." Momo glanced at the clock. "Oh! I got to go! Bye!"

"Bye Momo."

"Nice to meet you!" Momo bowed and ran out.

"Heh, nice girl." I said after Momo ran out. I sat on the bed and stared at the window. All of a sudden, Shuhei's head popped up. "Hey."

"Wah!" I yelled and almost fell out of my bed for the second time today. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I don't know. Stopped down by here because I heard what you've been through."

"What? Who told you?"

"Izuru. When he came to get my guitar."

"Oh." "Well, how ya doin?" he climbed through the window.

"Dandy. Just fine and dandy." I sarcastically said. "What does it look like?"

"Well you look fine."

"But I hurt. A lot. Like a whole bunch."

"Heh I bet. Sounded like you got slammed hard by that tail."

"Yeah, the impact certainly was painful…."

"Sounds it. Oh there was something I was supposed to tell you… Um…."

"What is it."

"Oh yeah! Izuru will be here a lot later. He got called out for a mission. So you won't be hearing from him anytime soon."

"Okay then." I looked as if I was upset for a few seconds.

"He sure makes you happy, doesn't he. Izuru. You two get along well." I nodded.

"Well, I honestly don't see what is good about that guy." I giggled.

"There is lots of good about him. Trust me, there is but you don't see it." I reached towards his guitar. "Dangit…." I was short a few inches. I didn't want to get up, because if I did, my wounds might open up. I looked at Shuhei with puppy eyes. "Please?" I asked.

"What do you want."

"Your guitar."

"No!"

"For the injured girl?"

"No!"

"Meanie." I said.

"Fine." Shuhei said, and grabbed his guitar and handed it to me. I took it out and started playing. Also, I sang along. Shuhei was listening. Annoyed, but listening.

After I finished, and Shuhei left, I put the guitar away and sank back down in my bed. I sighed. "I wonder what our squad is doing now…." I thought and turned to the window.

Suddenly, Unohanna walked in and tapped my shoulder. "Excuse me Patrina, but you have some packages for you."

"Oh. Okay."

"Isane, you can bring in the packages now."

"Yes captain." A tall girl, probably over six feet walked in with two wrapped boxes. "So you're Patrina huh? Hi there! I'm Isane Kotestu. You're in my younger sister's squad!"

"Oh. Nice to meet you."

"You too."

"This all?"

"Yeah." I looked at the tags on the boxes. One from Ukitake and one from Rukia and some person named Ichigo.

"Hmm…" I said and started to rip open Ukitake's present. When it was completely open, there was a bouquet of many different colored flowers, all of which were surrounding a card saying "Get well soon" with welcoming pictures on the front. When I opened the card, I almost cried. The whole squad, the whole entire group of people from the barracks, each wished me a good recovery and wrote words of encouragement towards my recovery. I felt a drop of water drip down my cheek. I put the floral basket on the nightstand next to me. Next, I opened the box from Rukia and the stranger Ichigo. Well this package really made me cry. I opened it and found a stuffed bunny and a framed photo of Rukia with a boy.

"Oh, that must be Ichigo." I thought to myself, observing the orange haired soul reaper with brown eyes. On the bottom, there was a message written. It read "Dear Patrina, Ukitake told me what happened! I'm so sorry! I wish I could've been there to help! I'm sorry! Real sorry! Get well soon! From, Rukia." The shorter message read, "Get well soon!" signed Ichigo. I was crying after I read those two letters and the messages from Ichigo and Rukia. Like sobbing.

"But you have a better present waiting for you." Isane smiled at me, who was sobbing my eyes out. "Ready to see your last present?" Isane asked. I nodded under my tears. She opened the door, and Rukia came running in.

"Patrina!" she yelled happily and hugged me. I could tell she was crying herself.

"R-r-rukia…." I stammered under my tears.

"I thought you were in the world of the living?"

"I came when Urahara said that him and the others would take care of the hollows. As fast as I could I came back here to see you…." She said, crying her eyes out with me.

"And she dragged me along." The orangey head walked in. After five minutes, Rukia and I eventually calmed down. Rukia took her arms off me and sat next to me.

"So, how ya been?" she asked concerned.

"Pain. More pain, pain and pain." I said dully.

"Oh." She said with sympathy.

"Yeah…."

"Got beat up by a hollow, huh?" asked Ichigo, suddenly bursting into the conversation.

"Yeah, a deadly one. Surprising she survive-"

"Rukia please don't say that. Makes me think that people expected me to die or something. Makes me feel strange."

"Sorry…."

"Well anyways… Why did you drag orange head Ichigo here? He your boyfriend or something?"

"N-no!" Rukia stammered, a blush coming across her face. I giggled.

"It's not like you have a boyfriend or anything there is nothing wrong with liking him." I smirked.

"Yeah not like you have one either!"

"Your face is so red right now. Heh, you do like him don't you!"

"So what if I do! Um….. Don't!" Ichigo was staring at Rukia with such a strange face, I started laughing again. My wounds began to hurt again and I stopped laughing, clutching my stomach and nearly to tears with pain. Rukia sighed and sat down next to me.

"Don't over work yourself. You'll end up in more pain then you have been in." Isane and Unohanna nodded.

"I told you Patrina. You don't listen." Said Unohanna, shaking her head. I closed my eyes in pain as Rukia hugged me again.

"Patrina, you have to calm down and listen…" she said, filled with concern. I sighed.

"I know….. I know….." she put her arm around me.

"Get better. Your big sis says so."

"Big sis?"

"Yeah, I consider you as a little sister."

"Oh. Okay."

"Just get better okay?"

"Kay."

"Now. We got to go. Bye!" She said, and gave me a good bye hug. "Be safe." Rukia said and left.

"Who is she?" asked Ichigo.

"Patrina. Why?" responded Rukia halfway down the exit hallway.

"There was this little shy girl in my neighborhood, Tatsuki was friends with her, but she only talked to Tatsuki. Her name is the same. The same as that girl. I started getting suspicious. I also remember Tatsuki coming to school one day acting all weird and depressed for some reason. Tatsuki was acting weird because….. Patrina had died. So, there is a chance she is the same Patrina."

"Are you sure Ichigo?"

"Mostly sure Rukia. Also, earlier. Did you mean what you said?" Another blush came across Rukia's face.

"Y-yeah….."

"That's fine." He caught up to her and grabbed her hand.

"To tell you the truth, I was thinking the same about you."

"R-really?"

"Yeah. Now let's go back to the World of the Living."

"Yeah." hand in hand, they walked back to the World of the Living together.

I was just laying in my bed meanwhile, hugging the stuffed bunny I got. I blinked with nothing to do. I decided to close my eyes for a nap. Then, I was out cold, sleeping like a rock. Hanataro entered with my dinner, but decided not to wake me. Time passed and soon, it was 7:00 p.m. A minute after seven, Izuru arrived to find me sleeping and my food beside my bed.

"Patrina," he said gently. "Patrinaaaaaa…." He said again after a while of no response. This time, no response also. "Trina." He said, not really trying to wake me up anymore. "Hey Pat." Still not awake. Izuru shrugged and sat down next to the bed. He just leaned on the bed and closed his eyes. I finally woke myself up and started to eat. In the next 25 minutes or so, I was done eating and dozed off again, missing Izuru being there. Izuru woke back up soon after. He chuckled at me sleeping with a piece of rice on my cheek.

"Hey Patty wake up. You have food on your face silly." He said to me. I woke up and rubbed my eyes.

"Oh Izu, you're here."

"Yeah, and you have food on your face."

"No I don- oh, yeah. I do….." I tried to reach it with my tongue.

"Here." Izuru said, and wiped off the rice. I blushed as he stepped back.

"Feeling better today?" he asked

. "No….. But a whole lot of people came today." I mentioned, as I sat up. "Let's see….." I continued and then I listed the people who came. "Momo, Shuhei, Isane, Hanataro, Unohanna, Rukia, Ichigo, and you."

"Wow, you're quite popular aren't you." Izuru gave me a noogie.

"Not really. Momo came because you and Renji told her about me. Shuhei, I really don't know why he came. Isane to give me my packages, Hanataro to check who was humming in the morning, Unohanna to check on me, Rukia because she was worried about me. Oh, and Ichigo because Rukia dragged him along."

"Does it matter why? They still came to see you. Trust me. You probably have all the people in the Soul Society, except for creepy Mayuri and Nemu and squad twelve, practically worried to death!"

"I doubt that."

"Patrina…. Think of all the people you have met." I closed my eyes and imagined them as Izuru talked. I imagined Ukitake, the first person I ever met, Sentaro and Kiyone, the lieutenants. Then there was the first time that someone stole my heart, the one in the room with me, and before that, crazy Shuhei. Rukia was the last person I saw that first day. And captain Komomura. The second day, meeting Yachiru, then running into creepy Mayuri, and running to the kickball game with Renji, Yumichika, and Ikkaku. Then meeting Soi Fon and running back home. Then on that dreaded day I met Unohanna and Hanataro. And recently meeting Isane and Ichigo. "Now imagine how many of them would be worried sick right now." That eliminated only two people really, Mayuri and I don't think Soi Fon would be too worried.

"I know what you mean Izuru, but,"

"Patrina, really, lots of us are worried."

"No….."

"Ukitake I bet you, will be really stressed for the rest of this week and a half."

"No, captain Ukitake can't be that stressed. He wouldn't be!" I wasn't able to see the captain stressed, he never really has been. "Okay, okay then!" I said. "Just stop insisting it!"

"I will Patrina, I will." He laughed.

"I almost opened my wounds twice today." I chuckled, "So don't laugh or I'll laugh too." Izuru chuckled, but then stopped laughing.

"Sorry."

"It's okay. So…. How's work going?"

"Good. We haven't really gotten calls lately."

"Oh. That's good."

"Yeah. I guess." Izuru shrugged. "Were you humming? Earlier this morning I mean." I flushed.

"Why do you ask?"

"Only wondering. You gonna answer or what?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Oh. By any chance did you try singing?"

"Maybe." I said and giggled.

"Oh so you did, didn't you?" I nodded. "Can I hear?"

"Maybe" I said and giggled more.

"Is that all you can say?"

"Maybe." I laughed. "Just kidding Izu, just kidding."

"Why you…" Izuru said, and lightly hit the back of my head. "So, are you gonna let me hear or not?"

"No not yet. You have to wait."

"What?"

"Sorry." I shrugged. "So that is it. Sorry." I apologized again.

"Nah. It's okay." Izuru looked down upset. I felt pretty guilty for Izuru's sadness.

"Aww bud, come here." I said and held out my arms. He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and I wrapped my arms around him. "Sorry….." I said again and held him close to let him know I meant it.

"Stop apologizing." He told me. I could tell neither one of us would let go. Finally, we took our arms off each other from the hug and smiled at each other.

"Good luck tomorrow Izuru."

"Yeah thanks. Have fun tomorrow Patrina, I'll be assigned in the World of the Living for a day or three."

"Aww is that so?"

"Yeah, leaving tomorrow. Time for me to apologize. Sorry Pat."

"It's okay Izu."

"Bye Patrina."

"See ya Izuru."

"Man, there must be increased hollow appearances or something. First they need Rukia and Ichigo, now the need Izuru, man." I thought. I laid down and rolled to my side and waited for sleep to come. I closed my eyes and peacefully drifted to sleep.
