By the way, in this story, Ichigo and Toshiro have got a sort of quiet relationship going on that only Matsumoto and Ukitake Taichou know about. Anyway...
Let the third chapter...BEGIN!.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matsumoto opened her eyes to the sound of something falling to the floor. She sat up and looked around her new room. Nothing had fallen off any of her selves nor had anything like her bag collapsed on the floor. The sound of a depressed groan was heard from down the corridor. Matsumoto stood up and put her dressing gown on before poking her head out of her door and looking around again.
Another sound came from down the corridor but one of contemptment. She followed the happy sound to her memory wiped chibi taichou's room. She knocked lightly and heard a small mumble from inside and took it as a welcome/come in. She opened the door and smiled when she saw her taichou sitting on the floor in his dark blue pajamas, sitting on the floor and leaning over a desk. Matsumoto walked up quietly behind him and looked over his shoulder, her golden hair mixing with his bright white.
"What are you doing Toshiro?" She asked sweetly and he turned round to face her, with pink, orange, red, green, yellow, purple, white and black paint marks all over his face. He smiled at her and leaned over his desk and pulled out a rectangle object. He looked back to her and showed her what he had made.
It was a small rectangle peice of wood with the name 'Matsumoto's Room' written on it with green flowers and big fluffy clouds on a bright blue background. It also had a pink scalf drawn on it that reminded her of her one she had attached to her shinigami uniform. He handed it to her and pulled out two others. The one at the top of the two said 'Ichigo's Room' with pictures of carrots and strawberries drawn and painted all over it and even a cherry pie, which made no sense to Matsumoto on why he had desided to draw a cherry pie but she didn't bother to ask. She wouldn't get a straight answer that she could understand. The next had the words 'Ukitake's Room' with loads of different types of sweets and and fizzy drinks and even weirdly drawn cups in the corners.
Matsumoto smiled at him and patted him on the head. He smiled and picked up the peice of paper he had been leaning over for who knows how long and showed her the picture. She looked at it and gasped lightly. It was a picture of Mariko wearing a bright purple knee high dress and small sandals holding a bag on her left arm, most likely covering up the socket of the fake arm. she had her hair down with two looped ponytails and a bright white summer hat on, her dress and hair dancing lightly in the breeze.
"Mariko gift" He said sweetly and Matsumoto smiled and patted his head again. She handed him the peice of paper back and lifted him off the ground.
"Come on, everyone must be downstairs waiting to see how you are" He smiled and clutched onto the peice of paper before putting a pair of white slippers on and walking down the stairs with Matsumoto, the paint still on his face in all its glory.
Once they got into the dining room, Toshiro didn't say good moning to anyone but rather ran straight over to Mariko and handed her the painting he had made for her. After she looked at it, She hugged him and patted him on the head.
"Thank you Shiro, i'll put it with the others you drew but its going at the front because its my favorite now" He smiled and nodded before looking over to Kouta who had just walked in the room.
"Ok guys, its bath time so go to the baths and get yourselves cleaned up...That means you too Shiro" Kouta ended in a stern voice as he watched Toshiro silently try and get out of the room but once he was caught he sagged his shoulders and walked out with Mariko towards the other end of the hall that the three shinigami hadn't seen yet. Kouta looked over to the three new ones and sat down on his sofa slightly.
"Ok you three, you don't have to go now but if you do, the girls bathroom is on the left and ours is on the right" He said before standing back up and walking towards the boy's bathroom. The three shinigami looked at eachother before standing up and going to the correct gender bathroom.
In the girl's, Matsumoto walked into the room with a towel wrapped around her to see Mariko and Nana with the water up to their chins, but no Nyuu. She looked around until she heard something behind her and turned around to see Nyuu run at her. Matsumoto didn't have enough time to run before Nyuu caught up and began tickling her like some tickle theif.
"Ny-ha ha ha ha N-Nyuu- he he he he- I can't- he he- Breath- he he he" Nyuu smiled and stopped her tickling before walking into the water and leaning against the rocky edge. Matsumoto smiled before she too joined in the water. She looked over to Mariko who smiled and slide glanced to Nana. Said girl had her eyes closed and looked asthough she was asleep. Matsumoto nodded and looked over the Nana to see it was true. Both her arms and legs had been destoryed and had fakes in their place.
"Who was the fight with Mariko because it must have been bad?" Mariko glanced at Nana again before leaning over to Matsumoto.
"It was Nyuu's old self Lucy, she has vectors just like everyone but she used to use them to hurt people that didn't deserve to be hurt but when she fell off the cliffs, her dark side got trapped and this side of her got let out but sometimes they switch but we don't have a clue why, but i havn't seen Shiro do that either but then again what he did will take some time to recover before he starts remembering" She said as she looked down to the water and then over to Nyuu with a small smile on her face before side glancing to the sleeping Nana.
"Nyuu, why don't you wake up Nana so she doesn't drown herself in her sleep" Nyuu looked at Mariko and then Nana before smiling and swimming over to the sleeping figure. She then began to tickle Nana awake and Nana ended up laughing so loud that her sides were hurting like hell in a few seconds. Ignoring the two next to her, Mariko swam over to Matsumoto and took a seat next to her before sighing deeply enough for Matsumoto to wonder what had happened to her chibi taichou.
"Mariko, what happened to Shiro?" Mariko looked back down to the warm water surrounding her and thought for a moment before looking up to Matsumoto with a mini-angry frown on her young features.
"He got pushed off of the big cliff near the beach by some guy with lavander hair before he disapeared and when we got to Shiro we found that he was a Diclonius like us and that he had been stabbed right in the stomach and it still hasn't healed properly but its getting there" Matsumoto's eyes widened as Mariko leaned back and allowed the water to help her completely relax. Lavander hair. There was only one person anyone knew with lavander hair. Ichimaru Gin. Matsumoto clenched her fist tightly under water. Gin was the reason for her chibi taichou's pain and confusion. He was so dead when the winter war came along.
Matsumoto slowly began to wash herself off while thinking about many ways she could also kill Gin and also how she could break it to the others. She relaxed for five minutes after washing herself off and sighed before she slowly got out and got dressed into a dressing gown and waited outside the boy's bathroom for the two male shinigami.
--------
In the boy's bathroom, Ichigo and Ukitake were getting undressed when they heard a pained grunt come from the bath. Both male shinigami looked at eachother as they wrapped their towels around their waists and were just about to walk in when a call come from the boys.
"Ichigo, Ukitake can one of you bring in the bandages on the side please?" Shouted Kouta. Ichigo looked on the side table to see a roll of bandages sitting comfortably next to some tissue paper. Ichigo picked up the bandages and walked in to the bathroom while Ukitake stood still for a moment, holding back a deep cough.
Ichigo walked over to Kouta, who had pinned Toshiro down finally on the small bench, and handed him the roll of bandages.
"Thanks Ichigo" Said Kouta as he put on the left side of Toshiro and grabbed onto a flapping peice of bandage that was on Toshiro's waist. Ichigo stared. He hadn't noticed that before.
"Hey Ichigo, can you hold his shoulders so he doesn't run away?" Ichigo looked up at Kouta and nodded before walking over to Toshiro and pinning his shoulders down onto the bench. Kouta counted down from three and began to pull off the bandage, Toshiro gasping in slight pain. Once off, the old bandage was thrown to the floor and the new one was wrapped around his waist three times before Toshiro was released and he ran extemely fast and jumped into the water with his towel still attached to his waist. Kouta sighed as he picked up the old bandage and put it in a small green bin in the corner of the bathroom.
"He makes such a fuss about changing that bandage" Kouta said as he climbed into the pool with Ichigo right behind him, shortly followed by the now feeling better Ukitake. Ichigo looked over to Toshiro, who was holding his side under water, and then over to Kouta.
"What happened to Toshiro Kouta?" Kouta looked at Ichigo and shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't really know, Mariko and Nana had been walking Choco when they found Toshiro with a huge stab wound and they brought him to me and he has lived with use ever since" Ichigo nodded and looked over to Ukitake who shrugged his shoulders and leaned back into the warm water with a content sigh. Ichigo followed Ukitake's lead and leaned back into the water and closed his hazel eyes, until he heard the water splashing around near him. He opened his eyes to see a smiling Toshiro sitting on his left side. Ichigo smiled and dipped his hand in the water and cleaned the dry paint of his face. Kouta looked at them and smiled.
"Looks like Toshiro has taking a real liking to you Ichigo, usually you'd have to wrestle him to the ground before you could clean his face off" Ichigo smiled as Toshiro leaned his head on Ichigo's left shoulder as his breath evened out.
It was a few minutes until any of the boys had realised that Toshiro had actually fallen asleep. They all got themselves, and Toshiro, cleaned up before getting themselves changed and heading out of the room. Kouta hurried faster then the other two and carried the sleeping Toshiro out of the bathroom and on to the sofa in the living room to continue his little nap.
Ichigo and Ukitake walked out of the room, only to see Matsumoto leaning against the wall in only a dressing gown and her eyes closed as if she was thinking seriously about something. They blinked for a second before walking over to her. Matsumoto opened her eyes and looked at the two before frowning. She pushed herself off the wall and walked the short distance between them. Before she could even begin to talk to them, out of the girls bathroom came a bouncy Mariko, a laughing Nana and Nyuu looking cheerful and happy. They looked up to the three shinigami and smiled in unison before skipping off into the living room. Matsumoto watched for a minute until she turned back to face the two male shinigami.
"I need to talk to you but not here, meet me by the front gate in twenty minutes and if anyone asks, we're going into town cause we pretty much are ok?" At first she sounded secretive but then she sounded happier the closer it got to mentioning about going into the small town. She smiled at them both before heading up the stairs and into her room. Both shinigami looked at eachother before shrugging their shoulders and going into the living room with everyone else.
---------------------------
After twenty minutes of sitting in the living room, drinking tea and chatting with Nana and Mariko while Toshiro slept on the sofa, both male shinigami saw Matsumoto heading to the door. They both stood up and headed the same. Mariko looked up at them confused.
"Ichigo, Ukitake, where are you going?" She asked confused and Ukitake turned round and smiled at her calmly.
"We're just poping into town for a little while, don't worry we'll be back soon" He said cheerfully before following Ichigo out of the room and to Matsumoto. They put on their shoes and headed out the front door, out of the garden, down the long row of stairs and towards the town.
"So Matsumoto, what did you want to talk to use about?" Matsumoto looked at Ichigo and looked down at her feet as they kept on walking towards the small town.
"When i was talking to Mariko in the bathroom, she told me how Taichou ended up with them...She said that he got pushed off the huge cliff near town by...Urm...Someone with lavander hair and there is only one person that us and Taichou knew with that colour hair" Ukitake and Ichigo's eyes widened as they too figured out who it was.
"So hes the reason Toshiro doesn't know who he is!" Ichigo spat out and Matsumoto looked guilty as they stopped their walk just near the other side of the road. Everyone remained quiet as they thought about the new information, most of it being how the fox faced shinigami would be killed, until a van pulled up infrom of them.
A young lady with black hair and deep brown eyes in a grey skirt and posh jacket stepped out and walked over to them.
"Im sorry to interupt your day but i couldn't help notice that you have befriended the Diclonius" They looked at her in confusion. How the hell did she know about it? Was she spying on them? As if she knew what they were thinking, she ajusted her black framed glasses with a small smile on her face.
"Don't worry, im from the facility where the diclonius were held and i have come to give you something the sientists created when a diclonius called Mariko had been in our facility" She dug her hand into the pocket of her jacket and dug out three pairs of black sunglasses. She looked up to the three shinigami and handed each one of them a pair before she got back in the van. The shinigami stared at the sunglasses and then back up to the young woman, who smiled back from the rolled down window.
"Don't lose or break them, they allow you to see a diclonius' vectors perfectly without fail unless the frame of them or a lence is broken" Was all she said before she leaned back into the chair and rolled the window back up as the van drove off down the road and out of sight. All three shinigami looked at eachother and then at the glasses.
"So these can really show us what Mariko used last night to pick up that huge teddy bear in Taichou's room?" Asked Matsumoto and Ichigo just nodded at the question.
"They must do...Do you think we should tell them about these sunglasses?" He looked up to Ukitake, who thought for a second and then shook his head.
"No, they might think that we're spying on them for the scientists so its best to keep them in the dark about them, just say that we brought a pair normal sunglasses each, ok?" Both shinigami nodded but Matsumoto was still looking completely confused about the sunglasses as she eyed them werily.
"But they must have given the sunglasses to us for some reason...Do you think they know something is going to happen that none of the others know about soon?" Asked Matsumoto and both male shinigami just shrugged their shoulders. They looked at the town and then in the direction of the house they were staying at.
"Should we go back or keep going to town?" They all looked back and infront of them before they did a group sigh and turned around and began to head back in the direction of the house, all thinking that they wouldn't be able to blank what they had heard and found out today with a bit of mindless shopping in a small town.
-----------
"Hey guys, you back early, did you find anything down town?" Asked Kouta as he walked outside with one bag of rubbish in each hand when he saw the three shinigami coming just into the garden. Ukitake smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, we didn't really find anything except three pairs of sunglasses which we brought because it gets too bright out sometimes" He said convisiningly(sp?) and Kouta looked asthought he beleived it when he nodded and smiled.
"Well its a good thing you went when you did cause we just ended up tidying up when Nyuu told me where Nana had hidden all her pots from her room all around the house so it was just like a scavenjure hunt" He ended with a small chuckle and out of the front door came Mariko, dressed in a long dark purple dress, the exact same colour as her ribbons, with a white top underneath and small bunnie slippers with black socks, and Toshiro, wearing a pair of plain black trousers and a green and white jacket that made his hair stand out more then unual and a pair of white neko slippers with pitch black socks, with the last of the rubbish bags carried together.
"Thanks you two, come on, we should go back inside and make sure they're not making anymore mess" The two diclonius nodded and so did the three shinigami as they walked back into the house. Matsumoto, Ichigo and Ukitake took off their shoes and put on a pair of plain white slippers and walked into the living room to see Nana lying down on the sofa, flicking through the channels on the t.v and Nyuu lying on the floor with a pencil and a peice of paper, drawing love hearts and stars. Mariko and Toshiro walked straight past the shinigami and Kouta and layed down on the bright white, furry carpet on their stomachs, legs lightly kicking the air as their slippers lightly slipped on and off the feet slightly. Mariko pulled out a selection of magazines and comics and handed one to Toshiro before pulling one out for herself and the two began to read, well, what they could anyway.
"Sorry, they're not really this ignorant, just something they do during most days when there's nothing to do" Kouta said as he came walking in with eight tall glasses of ice cold milk. As four hands went to collect a drink, four vectors also did the same. Kouta, Matsumoto, Ichigo and Ukitake picked theirs up and watched as the four others lifted into the air and went in the direction of Nyuu, Nana, Mariko and Toshiro, each glass landing just infront of whatever they were doing. Kouta glared at them, two in perticular. He looked at the three shinigami, expecting them to look scared out of their minds, only to see them just standing normally.
"Mariko, Nana what have i said about doing that!?" he said loudly making said two turn around and the two others look up from what they were doing, taking a swig of their drinks and go back to reading or drawing wierd hearts. Nana, after a second of looking away went back to looking at the t.v with a bored expression on her face until she saw her favorite show start. 'The many adventures of Neko-yuki'(Made it up but it sounds like a really cute show hehe XD) while Mariko just stared with a bored expression too but at Kouta and the shinigami.
"I explained it to them last night when i was looking after Shiro here" She emphisized by patting Toshiro lightly on the head, while still looking at Kouta and the shinigami, making the spikes of his hair bouce up and down softly without him even arguing back about her touching his hair when he was reading.
"And they didn't really seemed too bothered by it so i don't see why i can't do it" And she turned back around and went back to reading her magazine. Kouta looked angry as he put his hand on his hips.
"Thats not the point, you both told me that you wanted to be like Shiro and Nyuu and not have to use yours all the time yet you use them just to get a glass of milk so you don't have to stand up" Both looked back and Nyuu turned around and pointed at the sheet of paper infront of her as if she had just figured out what she was doing.
"Drawing" Kouta sighed as he finally gave in to the fact that none of the girls were on his side and Toshiro had figured that it was safer for him not to get involved in another argument. Matsumoto and Ukitake smiled at the small fight going on and sat down on the sofa oposite to Nana while Ichigo sat in one on the single chairs just next to the sofa, nearer the side of Ukitake.
After Kouta had finally calmed down he sat down in the single chair next to Matsumoto and took a small sip of his drink before leaning back and relaxing. The room was completely silent, except the sound of paper of comics and magazines being turned over and the small voice on the t.v talking about a magical carrot it had just found a a lake of joy, when a squeak was heard from someone in the room. Everyone, except Nana who was glued to the t.v to see what would happen next to neko-yuki, looked over to Mariko to see her smiling over to Toshiro and pointing at her magazine.
"Look Shiro, a drawing compotition, you should take part cause you're really good" Toshiro looked at the advertisment and shook his head before returning back to his comic. Mariko looked at the compotition and over to Toshiro confused.
"Why not?" She asked and he sighed before pointing at the date of the advert. She looked but it didn't make any sense.
"It just says its the 19th of November of...oh!...2007, i forgot its 2009" She giggled as she scratched the back of her head and went back to reading her magazine and everyone else just went back to relaxing. After about three hour of doing nothing, Kouta stretched his back and stood up before collecting the glasses in and and taking them into the kitchen before walking back out and smiling at everyone.
"Ok guys, its 6 O'clock and its time to get dinner started, Nyuu do you want to do the vegetables this time?" Nyuu looked up and smiled before ditching her drawing and running into the kitchen. He looked over to Nana, who's show had just finished, and smiled at her.
"And did you say you wanted to do the cooking tonight Nana?" Nana did the same as Nyuu but she didn't run like an idiot...She ran like she had just seen a ghost instead. Kouta sighed as he made sure they weren't fighting already.
"Everything is already out and all you have to do Nyuu is cut the vegetable like how Yuka showed you and Nana, all you have to do is make sure that the rice doesn't burn and i'll heat up what i started for diner earlier after Nyuu is done with her little job" The two girls nodded and watched as Kouta walked back outside and into the living room before Nana turned around to Nyuu and smiled.
"Ok Nyuu, can you pass me the wooden spoon?" Nyuu looked at her and Nana just sighed before looking away, embarressed.
"Please?" Nyuu smiled happily and clapped her hands before digging in the drawer on her side a pulled out a sharp knife and a wooden spoon. She put the knife next to the wooden spoon and handed Nana the spoon, who mumbled a 'thankyou', and began to sturr the rice to stop it from burning.
Nyuu pulled the first carrot she could reach and slowly diced and sliced it, just as Yuka had showed her, and pushed the cut peices into a small bowl before begining to cut the leeks. Nana smiled as the rice quickly finished and put it into a huge bowl before walking out, leaving Nyuu in the kitchen alone, carefully cutting up the vegetables.
"Kouta, i'm finished, can i sit back down now?" She said after she had walked in and layed back down in her old place and begining to flick through the channels again and Kouta just sighed loudly before going back to almost falling asleep. That was, until a loud bang was heard in the kitchen, making everyone look up from what they were doing and over to the kitchen, and the sound of footsteps were heard going into the main hall and then it went silent. Toshiro looked at Mariko, who nodded at him, and stood up before walking into the kitchen, only to run, pretty fast, straight back out and pull on Kouta's sleeve, pointing at the kitchen, pulling him into the kitchen. Kouta stood up and allowed Toshiro to pull him over to the door and point in the room.
Kouta looked worried when he saw the knife on the floor with blood on it and looked over to the other door leading into the hallway. He patted Toshiro on the head and told him to go back to reading while he walked into the hallway, to see Nyuu sitting on the floor, a small trail of blood leading from the door to where she was sitting, holding her arm tightly and a huge amount of blood around her. He sighed before walking over to her and taking hold of her arm lightly. Just as he expected, the wound on her arm was huge and deep.
"Come Nyuu, lets get that checked out" He said as he helped her up and walked towards the bathroom, but not before poping his head around the corner of the living room door with a cheeky smile on his face.
"Hey, Ichigo, could you please clean up the mess Nyuu made in the hall while i get her wound bandaged?" Ichigo looked up from the comic Toshiro had given him to read and nodded before standing up and walking over to the bucket with a green liquid and three rags on the side. He picked up the bucket before walking into the hall and stared at the huge amount of blood that came from Nyuu. He put the bucket down and soon began drying and cleaning up the blood.
Until however, Toshiro came walking in the hallway and watched what Ichigo was doing. Ichigo leaned up onto his knees and smiled up at the white haired boy.
"Do you want to help?" Toshiro smiled at Ichigo and nodded as Ichigo got him a rag and handed it to the small boy. When he was handed the rag, he kneeled down next to the carrot top and watched as Ichigo showed him what to do before stopping and letting Toshiro have a go. Ichigo smiled at him and soon both of them were cleaning the floor, until a loud shout was heard from the room Nyuu and Kouta were in.
"Ichigo, can you give me a hand?" Ichigo signed as he slowly rose to his feet, making sure he threw the rag in the green water, and slowly walked over to where Kouta was, leaving Toshiro to clean up the last bit of blood there was.
"Whats up Kouta?" Asked Ichigo as he walked into the room to see Nyuu's arm bandaged but Kouta trying to reach the scissors on the table to cut the bandage roll off but was just an inch or so away. Ichigo smiled and walked over to him before taking the the scissors off the side and cutting the bandage roll off of Nyuu's arm, but before Kouta could even thank him, a huge crash came from the hallway. Knowing only Toshiro was in the hallway, he ran out the room to see Toshiro lying flat on his face and the clock on its side.
Ichigo ran over but ended up almost slipping on his ass. It looked as though Toshiro had used too much water on the wooden floor and managed to knock himself to the ground and most likely out. Ichigo carfully stepped on any dry part of the floor incase he slipped and headed over to check on Toshiro. But before he had even got there, Toshiro slowly stood up and rose to his feet without a problem. Ichigo sighed happily before Toshiro turned and walked out of the house without saying or doing anything, which wasn't a normal thing for him to do. Ichigo stood there for a moment until he ran to the door, but Toshiro wasn't there anymore. It was as if he had gone missing from right at the front door. Ichigo stood there for another two minutes before walking back on the now dried floor and into the living room. Once inside, he saw Nana still lying on the sofa, Matsumoto and Ukitake still in the same place and Mariko sitting against the wall, along with Nyuu who wanted to read aswell. Kouta looked up to him before he noticed someone was missing.
"Where's Shiro Ichigo?" Ichigo looked out the window and Kouta looked before sighing deeply and leaning back in his seat. That was, until, Nana and Mariko to in a sharp breath and looked out the window as if they were searching for something. Mariko ran out of the living room and towards the door, while Nana ran up to Kouta.
"Kouta, there's another Diclonius, i can sense her, shes not far from here and might go after Shiro cause he's alone" Kouta nodded before Nana also vanished. Kouta looked at the three others in the room and nodded to them and all three of them smiled before disapearing also and soon out the front door with the two other young girls. All three shinigami followed the two girls now in the lead as they seemed to have wanted to go after the girl and then find little Toshiro.
--------------------------
Toshiro was sat on the steps of the old graveyard, watching the trees move against the slight breeze. Until, however Toshiro broke out of the daze and looked at the bottom of the stairs to see a girl with really dark pink, bottom of the back length, hair and deep red eyes. She looked around the same age as Nyuu and was wearing a dark pink summer dress with, almost white, purple ribbons on either side of her head. Toshiro glared at her and she smiled before taking a few steps up until she was standing infront of him, leaning down to his height with her arms behind her back in a childish way.
"Hello there, you must be the Diclonius Toshiro right?...Well my name is Rena, the oldest of the Diclonius" She said with a dark smile as Toshiro slowly stood up.
"And what do you want with me?" He asked without a speech problem and Rena just giggled lightly.
"For you to join me and go back to the facility where you can be looked after" She lied and she realised that Toshiro wasn't going to fall for it. She sighed before just standing perfectly still as Toshiro took a few steps up and turned around.
He looked away completely from the oldest Diclonius as his Diclonius side started to fade slowly and soon he was walking up the steps, not realising how he even ended up there. Rena smiled darkly again before sending one of the invisable arms out behind him and grabbed hold of the collar of his shirt and pulled him high into the air.
"Do you know who i am?" She asked teasingly, not knowing he couldn't remember, and he shook his head from left to right. Rena made a displeased noise, like that of a sigh as she beleived he was toying with her, and pulled him closer to her.
"I said do you know who i am?!" She asked louder and he shook his head once again in confusion and soon he found himself floating through the air at a rapid pace.
Mariko and Nana lead the group of shinigami through a woods, and as they neared the end of the woods, both Diclonius signaled for the shinigami to stay where they were incase anything happened. The shinigami did as they were told and just as they walked towards the edge of the bushes, they pulled out the sunglasses and carfully put them and walked towards the edge of the woods.
Mariko and Nana were now stood at the top of the stairs and gasped when they saw Toshiro being held in the air by a vector. But before they could even see who's it was, they threw Toshiro high in the air and straight for the woods.
"SHIRO!" Shouted Mariko as loud as she could. All the shinigami looked through the bush and watched as Toshiro was thrown through the air at a crazy speed. Ichigo soon went into shunpo and just managed to catch Toshiro before he landed on the ground, and was out of it after falling through five or six thick branches. Ichigo held him close before the others arrived. Mariko ran straight past everyone and over to Toshiro before small tears rolled down her cheeks at the fact that he had most likey got really hurt because they took too long.
Matsumoto felt extremely sorry for Mariko and walked up behind her and took her hand and allowed Mariko to cry on her shoulders. When they decided to head back, Mariko was given a piggy back by Nana and Toshiro was resting over Ichigo's back and as soon as they set foot in the house Ichigo and Mariko went upstairs to get Toshiro somewhere comfy and Matsumoto and Nana rushed to get some cold water and bandages while Ukitake went into the living room to talk to Kouta about what happened.
Once upstairs with the water, they carfully laid Toshiro down on his stomach. When they lifted up his top, Matsumoto and Ichigo gasped. There were no marks on his back, not even a tiny scratch or any sign of rips or damaged muscles. They pulled his top back down and looked over to Mariko, who was smiling at the fact he wasn't hurt, and she looked at them.
"vectors protect you instantly as much as they can...We should leave Shiro to sleep" She said as she and Nana walked out of the room. Ichigo and Matsumoto stared at eachother and then down to the sleeping figure below them. They soon stood up and began to walk out of the room, not forgetting the bucket of un-used water, and turning off the light before the door slowly shut.
