~Captain Jushiro's P.O.V~
~Inside the Central Great Underground Prison, Earlier That Day, in the Eighth Level Muken~
Letting out a sigh, I heard my one and only prison door open. Turning my head, I saw Captain Retsu Unohana and my old friend Captain Shinsui Kyoraku enter together, I didn't even have to look at their faces to know they were disappointed in me.
"I take it the Central Forty-Six didn't wait very long to put you in here, did they now Jushiro?" I heard Shinsui ask me.
Lowering my head in shame, I let out another sigh. "No, they didn't take very long in fact, the Central Forty-Six unanimously decided that I was guilty of Treason, for attacking the captain of squad five without any real proof." I confessed to them, the tone in my voice was sad.
Retsu and Shinsui eyed each other for a moment before they spoke to me. "Wow, that's a damn shame Jushiro, so did you do it?" He asked me, casually.
I shook my head "no" at his question, before eyeing Retsu, whose warm smile and kind smile seemed to brighten this dark hell hole. "Exactly why are you here Captain Unohana? I mean, I'm not trying to be rude, but shouldn't you be teaching a class today?" I asked her, confused to why she out of all people would be here in such a unsightly place.
Giving me another one of her warm and kind smiles, she spoke to me. "You'll find friends in the most unlikely situations, even if the situation happens to be under false pretenses. I believe someone has sent you here to keep you quiet and isolated from everyone, including Kairi Jinjou Yuuki, the girl who is currently living in your barracks Captain Ukitake, and speaking of Ms. Yuuki, she is indeed a very special and bright girl, she managed to heal a very serious wound from a classmate earlier today, that I inflicted on them for show and tell. Clearly, she is very underestimated by us, Ms. Yuuki has a very bright future in the fourth division, should she accept it." Retsu said to us, as she let out a sigh afterwards.
Hearing about how great Jinjou did in class today made me smile. "That's great to hear Captain Unohana, thank you for telling me Retsu, and speaking of Kairi, whatever happens do not let her find out the truth about my situation, it will only cause her great distress, and she doesn't need that right now, she needs to focus on her classes, and that is all, she has enough on her plate as it is, she's suppose to be meeting Captain Kuchiki this week as well. Shinsui, when Kairi comes to the barracks tonight, you must stop from entering any further into the barracks, and you may take her to your barracks for the meantime, is that understood?" I asked him.
Smiling at my orders, Shinsui tipped his hat to me, telling me he understood. "You got it Jushiro, not to change the subject or anything, but who accused of treason in the first place?" He asked me.
I was about to tell him, but Retsu said it before I could open my mouth to speak. "I was there, hiding in the shadows that night. Mostly to see what Ms. Yuuki was up to because her spiritual presence was all over the place during and after the Captains' meeting, and I was going to speak to her afterwards, but Captain Gin ever so rudely block my path, but that's beside the point, the point is, that Captain Sosuke Aizen charged Captain Ukitake with treason, even though neither captain had their swords out, nor did they unleash their zanpakuto last night. Captain Aizen still managed to fool the Central Forty-Six into believing that Ukitake attacked him without a reason, when in reality Jushiro did nothing, but this just from my point of view, and I'm only one person, and even if I went to bother the Head Captain and the Central Forty-Six, my testimony would fall on deaf ears. So regardless rather or not Jushiro Ukitake is innocent or not, it wouldn't matter until we can get some actually proof, this is where those who know to much are to be silenced until they die here, or they die by execution." She confessed to us, then met my eyes, her once warm smile turned into a frown, she then lowered her head and then added out to me, "I'm very sorry Captain Ukitake, but there is nothing I can do nor is there anything Captain Kyoraku can do either for you, but we will keep Ms. Yuuki safe from anyone who is wanting to harm her."
Smiling despite the circumstances, Shinsui lifted his hat up. "Does that mean we need to keep Kairi away from Captain Mayuri and Captain Zakuri as well?" He joked to us.
Laughing at Shinsui's joke, we all stared at each other in silence for a moment before both captains said their good-byes and left my prison, while I stayed here thinking about Jinjou and the person responsible for putting me in here. I mean after all, once the Central Forty-Six decides on how long or how short I stay here, right now all I have time for is thinking...
