Oh goodness I'm sorry guys. I didn't mean to wait so long to even start the update. But I've been packing up and getting ready to move again. Me, my parents and my sister are all moving in pretty much opposite directions lol. But we aren't going far. And when I haven't been packing to move I've been hanging out with this guy I really like that makes me feel happy inside by him just looking at me or putting his hand on mine or stuff like that. Its crazy how happy he's making me. And he's not even really trying lol. Sorry to gush, but I haven't really been too happy for over a year or so. So you can hopefully expect better fluff when its there. Hopefully lol. Onward!
Chapter 19...Spread
Unohana was beginning to relax. Mito's fever had gone down, and was staying down. There wasn't any bleeding and he wasn't fighting any impulses other than to rapidly eat everything put before him. The hybrids that were taking care of him hadn't had any symptoms yet, and it looked like the whole ordeal was just a fluke illness that she'd stamped out before it could really start. At least Mayuri had finally got the cure right. The poor 5th division man had been scared out of his wits when the 12th captain had made his way into the room to examine the man. After taking his own blood samples, Mayuri had finally left. Thirty minutes later and there were two pills delivered.
They were a dark purple, with little numbers on one side just like with any other pill. It was almost comical to the serene woman how one little pill could supposedly cure an illness that took over the body of the one who was ill with it. Unohana had given the man the pills with some water and he had rapidly improved.
3 Days later
Mito was signing his release papers back to 5th. He'd been given a clear bill of health. Whatever had killed that poor 6th division girl was out of his system. He wasn't going to die. He thought about the day, wondering what he was going to be doing that day when he back. He thought about it for a moment. It was a Thursday so it was his group's training day. He left the 4th medical stations headed to 5th's training fields. He reported in and his training officer greeted him. The others in his group seemed glad to see that he was okay and he was immediately given a spot to begin. It wasn't hard to understand why everyone was so happy. After all, everyone by now had heard about what had happened to that 6th girl. About how she'd gone crazy and tried to kill her Lieutenant. And about how whatever illness they'd had had melted her brain.
It was later that evening, when he was lying in his bed that night, that Mito jolted awake. He sat straight up and then had to clutch his head. His head was searing with agony. Pressure continued to build in his head and then he felt a something sort of like a pop. His body fell limp, then rose without his telling it to. 'Kill,' the voice of his zanpakuto told them. 'Its what you are, a killer, do it, you'll feel better. Kill, kill them all,'. Mito stood. If killing was what it took to rid himself of the pain, then he didn't have much of a choice. He picked up his zanpakuto and walked to the door. The pain made him stumble a few times as he made his way over to the first place he could think of that there would be someone there. He rose his blade into the air as he approached one of his squad mates. In one fell swoop, a spray of blood, and a startled grunt, the man fell down. Startled, the girl next to him draws, and turns to face him. He swings again, and the girl was too stunned to block properly. Her sword falls from her hands. She stares in horror at Mito. Then she turns and runs. He follows her, and soon she too falls. He continued to move through the area, raining death wherever he went. He grunts in pain, as he feels a sword tear into his back. He turns, and attacks, only to be felled himself.
The 5th squad member stares in horror. It was Mito, the one with the illness. And both him and his zanpakuto were covered in Mito's blood. He cleans up and goes back to see Fourth taking away the body. He helps to clean up the several bodies that lie around and then went to bed. He really needed his rest, the next day was his groups training day and somehow he always got paired up with the more violent of the squads members.
Momo sat at her desk the next morning, filling out the paperwork that accompanied Mito's attack on the squad. She was disappointed really, considering he'd looked just fine earlier. And strangely just like with the 6th girl, Unohana had told her that Mito's brain had melted, which was unusual considering that his fever had gone down and stayed that way for a while.
Tia Halibel stepped over to check on the papers Momo had been filing out. It was different not having Aizen as her captain, however, Captain Aizen had made this girl who she was and that made it at least ok to have her there in his spot. Tia nodded her approval and returned to her desk to work on her own stack of paperwork.
The 5th squad member clumsily dodged a blow from his sparring partner. They used wooden sparing blades, and it wasn't a dangerous exercise. That of course, was to be said when you weren't paired with a perpetually angry person to spar with. He shouldn't have been surprised when a blow to the head caused him to see stars and stumble forward. He reached up to the now sore spot on his head and pulled his fingers away to find blood. He grumbles about the injury and makes his way to the water cooler in the room. Beside it was a stack of clean towels. He wiped his hand on it and held it to his head. One of the female members of his training group comes over to check on him. It was a dark haired girl with glasses. The man was pretty sure the girl had a crush on him. Which he was ok with actually, if she'd step up and say something.
He moves the towel and she probes around the injury. The girl was probably going to be transferred to fourth soon, since her zanpakuto was medically inclined. And the girl knew how to take care of injuries too. She makes a tsking sound and puts the towel back on the wound. She applies pressure and turns to berate his sparring partner. When she had the bleeding stopped, she lets him know it was a shallow injury it was just that head wounds bled more than regular wounds. She takes the towel to the garbage can and drops it in. She makes her way to the bathroom and scrubs her hands clean. Blood from the towel had gotten onto her skin and she didn't want to leave it there, that was gross.
Several hours later, and the girl received a call from the 4th Squad. It was what she'd been waiting for ever since the first time she'd released her zanpakuto. She rushes from 5th to the Captain's office in 4th. Captain Unohana would oversee her showing her shikai and then make the decision to keep or send her off. The kind Captain lead her to the medical ward and to a patients room. It was a member of 11th of course. He had several bleeding wounds. None were too serious. The girl, Sana draws her zanpakuto. Drawing a deep breath, she runs the blade across her hand. "Suture, Chishio," she says. The zanpakuto seems unchanged, except that it glowed crimson. Sana holds her hand over the member of 11th and her blood drips onto his skin. The crimson glow from her zanpakuto also applied to Sana's blood, and from the drop of her blood spread along the man's body. And almost hissing sound can be heard when the glow reaches his wounds. When the hissing stops, Sana sheathes her blade. The wound on her hand had disappeared.
Tentatively, Unohana pulls back the bandages, to find his wounds almost fully healed. She smiles at the girl, and takes Sana back to her office, while she filled out the transfer papers. Sana happily skipped back to 5th, papers in hand to turn in to Momo and Tia. She was going to be a healer, like she'd wanted to since meeting the kind Captain.
Ok I know this one is short too, I'm getting really bad about this. But it was taking me so long to come up with the right way to do this. And I'm really really sorry about how long it took to do this one. I've had no time. At all. And I'm about to have even less. Here soon I'm about to be made an Assistant General Manager where I work. Which means more work hours. But its a really good opportunity that I don't want to turn down. So I'm going to apologize to you all a lot. But here is your next chapter, and I hope you'll forgive me. Sorry to Albinos for not doing a review reply this time, I want to hurry up and post this, so I'm not gonna go look up your review this time. I'll start doing replies again next time. Later!
