Chapter 16: Unexpected findings

At Captain Unohana's office

When Captain Unohana was doing a medical check up on Momo she found something odd about her.

She realised that Momo's reiryoku was not evenly distributed and on top of that small amount of elemental reiatsu was leaking from her.

After the check up, Captain Unohana smiled and said, "Lieutenant Hinamori you seem to be in the pink of health."

Momo smiled and said, "Thank You Captain Unohana, if there is nothing else may I leave your office?"

Captain Unohana said, "Lieutenant Hinamori, I heard you are an avid reader is it true?"

Momo said, "Yes."

Captain Unohana said, "I am interested in reading a book about phoenix, a legendary bird, do you know where to find the book?"

Momo started to sweat and said, "Sorry Captain Unohana, I do not know where to find a book about phoenix."

Captain Unohana said, "It is okay Lieutenant Hinamori, thank you for your helped."

Momo greeted Captain Unohana farewell and left her office.

Captain Unohana sat down and read the results of Momo's check up and concluded something was amiss.

Captain Unohana called Isane to come into her office.

Isane said, "Do you need me to do anything for you Captain Unohana?"

Captain Unohana said, "Isane could you look after the squad for a while?"

Isane said, "Yes Captain Unohana but where would you be going?"

Captain Unohana said, "I am going to the Shinigami Research Development Institute to find Captain Kurotsuchi about his research."

Isane said, "But Captain, Captain Kurotsuchi is a dangerous person!"

Captain Unohana smiled and said, "It is okay Isane, I would be okay."

Isane sighed and said, "I understand Captain."

At the Shinigami Research Development Institue

Captain Kurotsuchi was doing his research until Nemu brought Captain Unohana into the room.

Captain Kurotsuchi said, "Well, Well isn't it Captain Unohana what you want?"

Captain Unohana said, "Captain Kurotsuchi, have you notice anything different about lieutentant Hinamori?"

Captain Kurotsuchi said, "Of course I have notice a difference in her, I have eyes around the entire Seireitei, do you think she would not be noticed by me?"

Then Captain Kurotsuchi pressed a button and a huge screen appeared with smaller screens showing different parts of the Seireitei.

The smaller screens changed to occasions of Momo's activities in the Seireitei.

One of the screens showed Momo being in her room before it was partially burned.

Another screen showed the findings of Momo's partially burnt room which was not officially released.

The screen showed that the fire was due to elemental reiatsu being released.

Captain Unohana started to wonder what is the true potential of Momo's abilities.

Captain Kurotsuchi saw a file held by Captain Unohana's hand and said, "Captain Unohana is that Lieutenant Hinamori's medical report file?"

Captain Unohana said, "Yes, it is her medical report file."

Captain Kurotsuchi smiled and said, "Let me take a look!"

Captain Unohana smiled and said, "Provided you pass me all the data involving Lieutenant Hinamori."

Captain Kurotsuchi said, "What if I do not comply with your request?"

Captain Unohana gave her trademark smile and said, "I would report you to the head captain for spying on people."

Captain Kurotsuchi in a frustrated tone said, "Okay I would agree to your terms!"

When the both of them exchange their information and read each others information, they realised both knew certain things that the other does not know.

Captain Kurotsuchi laughed and said, "Looks like lieutenant Hinamori is going to be an interesting test subject!"

Captain Unohana learnt that the tremors that occurred and the elemental reiatsu released could be somehow related to Momo.

Captain Unohana sighs at Captain Kurotsuchi's reaction.
