Chapter nine: The search ends, and everyone meets back up at squad four.

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.
C. S. Lewis

Reader's POV~

Ichigo was moved to squad four. Polar Bear watched as the young girl turned to reishi. Ichigo was hurt badly. "Ichigo is in a serious state Cherry Blossoms. I will inform Hana Onna right now." Stated Polar Bear. Cherry blossoms nodded. "I will contact Trident Water and fireworks now about Ichigo." He replied. Polar bear rolled her eyes. "How did we get these nicknames anyway?" She said lowly. "We can thank fireworks for them." He said in monotone.

She nodded as she sent a hell butterfly to Hana Onna.

Byakuya's POV~

We waited for a bit until the groups met at squad four. Hana Onna and hanataro were the first to arrive. She quickly went to check on Ichigo and Hanataro tagged along. "Cherry Blossoms It seems ichigo Kurosaki has stabilized. But now begs the question of how a hollow got to him?" She said.

I sighed as I sat down. "I am glad he is stable. He has been through two hollow attacks now." I sighed. Hana Onna nodded and the rest of the groups arrived as we talked. Trident Water and fireworks walked over to us. "How is he Captain Unohana?" They both asked with a worried expression. She sighed and motioned them to sit down. "He is stable but he was hurt badly. He will need to stay a few days." She replied with a frown.

Trident Water sighed as he looked at his captain Shiro-kun. "Everyone down the codenames now." He asked. Everyone but Fireworks nodded in agreement. "Oh fine." She said rolling her eyes. "Okay now, I need more information on my cousin's life." Said Kaien. he looked around and his eyes landed on me. I sighed heavily.

"I guess I will do it Kaien." I agreed softly. Kaien smiled a bit. "Thank you sir." He said with a soft tone. I stood and went to check on Ichigo. I opened the door and Hanataro was in the room watching over him. "Oh captain Kuchiki, Ichigo Kurosaki is under induced sleep to him heal." He said as he bowed.

I nodded as I sighed and went over to Ichigo. Ichigo we will figure this out. I thought to myself. He looked so peaceful as he slept. I laid my haori over him. "Stay warm." I whispered to him. Hanataro probably smiled as I did, I heard a chuckle coming from the doorway. "Oh lieutenant Shiba! Ichigo is in the bed over there resting." Exclaimed hanataro. Kaien Shiba nodded as he walked over.

"Captain Kuchiki that is your haori righT?" He asked. i nodded as I tucked Ichigo Kurosaki in. "too help keep him warm. He will need it, it will be cold." I said as I looked out.

Kaien Shiba's POV~

I went to sit by Ichigo's bed. "He looks so peaceful asleep huh Hanataro?" I asked him after Captain Kuchiki left. He nodded. "Yes Lieutenant Shiba." He answered softly. I nodded and wiped Ichigo's head with a wet washcloth. "He will be the youngest Shiba sibling." he chuckled as he told Hanataro that Kukaku, him, Miyako and Ganju adopted their lil cousin as their baby brother.


I am tired and this is all I got tonight. I hope you like it. Please remember to review.
