Ichigo turned and looked at me. "You okay?"
I was still totally confused. "Did she just say she was going to heal me?"
A girl poked her head in with a smile on her face. "Yep."
I stared at her for a minute. I then just shrugged, I wasn't sure if I wanted to know how she was going to do it. But at the same time I was actually really wondering about it.
She took a step in. I watched her, feeling a little wary but for no good reason at all. She kneeled next to me and I lied down because I figured it make whatever she was doing much easier. I felt her touch the bandages and I winced but didn't make any sort of noise. I felt her slowly take the bandages off my ribs and then the one of my shoulder and then she whispered something. I was suddenly blinded by a bright yellow light but it was in a triangular shape but I could hardly look at it because of how bright it was. So I closed my eyes, feeling like I was going to go blind if I didn't.
"There." I heard her say. "All done."
I opened my eyes and sat up. I realized there was nothing left of my injuries. Not even a scar. I stared for the longest time before I looked at her.
"Uh-thanks." I went back to staring and then I looked at my shoulder.
She smiled at me and got up. "You're welcome."
She walked over to the door and faced Ichigo. "Oh, Chad wanted me to tell you he's having a game night at his house tonight if you want to go."
"Thanks. I'll think about it." He said to her.
I watched him slide the door shut. I ran my hand under my shirt along my shoulder and it was smooth and barely hurt.
Ichigo saw the shock and confusion on my face and he smirked. "Wondering how she did that?"
I nodded. "A little bit."
He snorted but didn't say anything else. I just sat there and wondered. I never really saw what she did because I wasn't looking at her. The light was too blindingly bright for me to look at anything. But at the same time I didn't want to know. I was already overwhelmed by everything else. Any other weirdness and I thought I might freak out or faint or something I never do.
I realized I still had my shirt up and I tugged it down, my face turning red. Ichigo laughed. I looked up at him and stood up, nearly falling over in the process. Ichigo started laughing harder. I stomped over to him and he wouldn't stop laughing. So I promptly punched him in the stomach which made him fall over. I just glared at him and he was wheezing.
"What was that for?" He looked up at me and then stood up.
"You were laughing at me." I was still giving him the death glare.
He snorted. "And this makes you mad."
I just rolled my eyes. "Can I go home now?"
Suddenly his face went blank and he didn't look at me. I frowned and took a step back, immediately knowing that he was keeping something from me. I didn't say anything, because I could tell he was about to tell me anyways.
"Your house was destroyed by a Hollow that was looking for you last night." He wasn't looking at me still.
I could feel the expression on my face freeze there. I opened my mouth to say something but then my mouth snapped shut again. I couldn't think of something to say. I started shaking. On top of having no family, now I was homeless. There were tears streaming down my face. I wiped them off and slowly sat down, staring at my feet. I wasn't going to say anything and I didn't want Ichigo to see me crying.
"Hey you okay?" He asked me.
I shrugged, not saying anything. I didn't trust my voice right now. I was physically and emotionally hurting. I wasn't sure why all of this just kept happening to me. I really hoped it couldn't get any worse. But it did. And now it seems like it could probably get worse despite how much I didn't want it to. Luck just wasn't with me today. I closed my eyes and just rested my forehead on my knees. I didn't know what to do now. I had nothing to do. I had no home to go back to.
As if it could get any worse.
But I couldn't be more wrong.
