[attr="class","bsbody"]A soft sigh slipped from the lips of the pale man. His dark red eyes stared at the front door of his little bar as he tugged the metal beaded rope to turn off the open sign. The only light that was visible from the outside was suddenly removed, making the previously lit alley now dim with only light from a street light down the way. He turned away from the door, his hand coming up to his face to remove the only form of uniform they had, which in his case was Gott. The demented mask.
”Today was a good day. No fights, and no trouble from the other side of things.” He’d said with a smile. ”You know what you just did right?” She quickly piped back at him. ”Shut up” He shot back out. ”Nothing has been going on here except for the usual hollow! ”What about the short blonde, eh? ”Freak coincidence.” He finished off as he started heading to the back of the store. He soon changed, now the pale skin man wearing his white tank top once more, and a pair of black jeans. Gott sat attached to a holder on his side in case he needed her.
He took to the rooftop of his shop, as he did for most nights. His body slipped across the roof silently before turning, and flopping into the bench that he had up there. He took a deep breath, finally relaxing. It’d be nice to relax for once. He’s earned it, right?...right?

How long had she walked? By the time Samantha got to where she'd intended to go the sun had dipped below the horizon. It'd been several hours at least since her encounter with the Arrancar, and she still didn't feel any better for it. After awakening from unconsciousness, she'd managed to tear off and fashion a crude sling from a portion of her shihakusho. The sling did little to ease her pain between moments of capable Shunpo, resting, and just regular old walking.
Sam came to rest at a storefront, Kokuyokutenshi carefully tucked away in its sheath. It didn't matter who it was, no one else besides herself and that damned Arrancar needed to know of her Zanpakuto's current broken state. She clenched her good left hand into a fist, slamming it sidelong into the wall next the unlit open sign. "That Damn monster!- OUCH!" Sam winced as the vibrations passed into her broken arm, upsetting the delicate balance of pain and relief she'd been struggling with.
She'd contemplated just going back, seek aid from the 4th squad. But what would her 11th squad-mates think of her if she lowered herself to being treated. She couldn't do that. Going to them meant much more than just admitting defeat. Going to them now would just show the rest of her squad that she'd been defeated, and fairly harshly at that, if she so much as asked for their medical aid. That and Sam wouldn't be able to forgive herself for being defeated. She held too much pride to let slip her failure. It would tarnish her in a way that would depress her and what she needed now wasn't to feel down, but to push forward, become stronger.
Being defeated by Gwen Olivarez, no, she hadn't been defeated. What had happened could not even be considered a proper fight. It had been as unfair as a child stomping on anthills. She'd never stood a chance to begin with. This was an invitation... Gwen Olivarez's invitation for her to realize her weakness and do something to overcome it, to come back stronger than before and face the Arrancar once she'd reached an elevation of even footing. And overcome Gwen Olivarez she would. Sam promised herself this much at least.
It wasn't until now that Sam finally noticed the sign. "Strange... didn't think this place ever closed..."
He’d finally relaxed after staring up into the sky after so long. He was lounged across the bench with an arm tossed over the back of it. His other hand had removed Gott from her position prior and now had her resting on his face again to hide some of the light from his closing eyes. Sleep was about to welcome the tired bount into it’s arms when a voice slipped through the air. His eyes flipped open, and a scowl moved across the spiritual vampire’s face. “Oh what is there now to bother you? What do you smell? ”...Fuck you Gott.” He muttered to the mask that was on his face.
He turned off from where he laid, his knees rising to the wooden bars of the bench as his body twisted. He hung his body off the back of the bench and over the ledge. He was careful so that only his head poked over the side of building. His mask clad face was easily visible if she looked up. His lungs filled with air as a deadpan expression slipped across his face.
”Black robes..” ”Shut up.” ”She has a sword.” ”I’m going to bed~” ”She’s hurt~” ”I fucking hate you.”
This bit of conversation slipped between them before he noticed something that caused his eye to twitch. She punched the sign. Surely due to her injury that she hadn’t broken anything, but it was still the fact of the matter. She. Punched. His. Sign.
He took a deep breath as his face was still over the side, it curled some to the side before speaking out for her. ”Doctor is in sweetie. Go on in, and sit at the bar. I’ll be down in a minute~” He said in a rather sing song voice, taking on the usual doctor persona before slipping off the bit of furniture and making his way down there with his mask still in place.
”Release me when we get down there, and I’ll work on your drink.” ”…..I might need that..”

Sam looked up to see the man standing there on the roof staring back down at her. Their eyes met, she frowned at the moment of seeing the mask on his face. She’d heard of this place but had never needed to visit. Only heard of, even the descriptions about the owner were scattered bits of chaotic reference. Hardly tidbits worth trying to paint a picture about his demeanor or other attributes. ”The door is open…?” She asked, more to herself than to the shop owner. Looking back to the door she turned the knob and pushed the door. Sure enough it opened without hindrance.
She hoped this person would keep her secret. Even coming here wasn’t something she wanted her fellow Shinigami to know about. They would ask questions of her, wondering why it was she’d needed to seek medical aid in such a secluded part of the human world. That was one conversation she hoped to avoid. Sam would need to remember to ask this guy not to speak of her visit if one would so inquire about it.
The door creaked shut. First one to the first floor. Hopefully she wouldn’t need to stay long. Sam really wanted to get started with her training as soon as possible. She would need to improve immensely if she hoped to get back at Gwen for what she’d done to her.
The shinigami spared no time browsing the room around her. There was no purpose in doing such a thing. Her purpose was singular. She waited patiently for the shop owner to come down from his roof, the pain in her broken arm still throbbing endlessly.
[attr="class","bsbody"]He took his sweet damn time getting down the stared and into the bar where the girl stood. His arms had gone behind his back for a moment. He released a bit of a chuckle as his hand lightly tapped his mask. “Don’t feel threatened at all dear. I’m just a doctor~” He’d said with the same voice again. A silent whisper slipped from his lips behind the mask before threads of Reshi extended from the seems of his face and the material. A large trench coat of red leather soon covered his body, and a hood of the same material covered his head as to conceal. The three large clawed hands hovered behind him. He quickly turned on his bare heels, and started heading to the back.
”Do follow sweetie~ Gotta get you checked out.” He said as one of the claws motioned her to follow.
He made his way in the back, and stopped infront of his makeshift table. IT was easily 10 foot long, and about a meter and a half wide. Large enough for a person to lay across. He stood at the side where a bay of materials were just behind him, which was also at the foot of the table. ”I’m going to need you to drop whatever you can that you’re comfortable with and lay down so I can ‘see’ whats wrong with you.” He quickly shot out. His voice was still a bit playful, but it had a serious bit mixed in. Doctor Kiku was in.

Sam followed the man into the next room, noting the rather large table and other tools he harbored. She couldn’t see herself laying on it readily, at least not while the bone in her arm remained unset. She hoped that wasn’t what he expected of her prior to treatment for she would kindly refuse.
The Shinigami was taken aback by the man's demand but quickly surmised it as a necessary process towards receiving proper treatment. "Hai, hai..." She agreed, showing a slight bit of reservation and embarrassment at being asked to unclothe in front of him. This would be a first for her, and hopefully the last for anyone outside of rigorous rounds of training where she'd needed minor treatments.
Unstrapping her Zanpakuto, Sam took it off with her good arm, laying the weapon down carefully over the table. As tenderly as she could manage so as not to upset her injured arm, Sam then removed the top layers of her shihakusho, letting them fall around her waist.
The Shinigami now stood, her body completely unclad from the waist up, save for the portion of torn shihakusho that comprised the makeshift sling. The massive bruising over her gut, Gwen's farewell strike, clearly discernible from the Shinigami's own pale tones. She'd fought the pain in her gut and her arm, still continued to fight the pain. Sam's features would betray the fact that she was exhausted, though she wouldn't openly admit it.
[attr="class","bsbody"]As she entered the room, Kiku went silent. His position at the table was on purpose. His eyes, while seemingly indifferent compared to earlier was seeing something else compared to others. The moment he donned Gott in her release state the world shifted from vibrant colors to a series of blue and red hues. A heat map of sort overlaid across the world before him. The room around him, visible only through the different sources of heat. However that wasn’t his focus. The second perk of his released sight kicked in. Like an x-ray, her injuries became more and more obvious as before his own oculars layers of skin disappeared.
Ignorant of the modesty that she had discarded while he was staring at her, Gott had taken the time to take away the clothes she had discarded, and her precious soul slayer. A voice echoed from Kiku’s mask, but instead of male it was a lightly purring female. ”Care not pure soul. You will have this returned when he’s done.” The voice was gentle about it all. Her claws were precises as it gripped the sword and carried it off.
Kiku in this time, have taken inventory of what was wrong with her before she’d even gotten a chance to lay down turned towards his work table. He was rusty, as he lacked his normal methods of healing. No one had come by with anymore than a few scratches or gun shots to dig a bullet out, so this would take some primitive workings. The other two claws that were coming off his attire was already reaching for the material for a cast, and salve for the bruising. He on the other hand was in the process of retrieving the sedative pills.
He turned back to her quickly, and lightly bowed. His eyes fading back to just seeing heat. The left massive bruise and break radiating massive heat as the body tried to heal those sections. It bothered him. ”Three things dear. Pick a color for your cast. I have a sedation pill since I have to do some major work on your arm. Also, put in a good word for my services when you get back.” He said as he opened his palm, and held a simple white pill in his hand.

The Shinigami felt the man's eyes gaze upon her, focused in a peculiar way. They were not the eyes of one with ulterior thoughts, no, he appeared to be focusing on her injuries. An ability of his perhaps, she thought, watching with cold eyes as her zanpakuto was taken. If she'd been in any better condition she surely would have prevented such an action from happening. But she needed his help whether she wanted it or not and making a fuss would not help her in getting the aid she needed right now.
"Color for the cast...?" Sam stared blankly at the man. Was he serious right now? She stood before him with a broken arm, a dangerously bruised midsection, and was even half naked in front of him! And what he cared about right now was what color she wanted her cast to be!? The shinigami bit her lip in order to diffuse her irritation, the slight taste of iron touched her tongue from the small amount of blood she drew forth.
The strange way his voice changed didn't help her feel at ease which drove Sam to deciding that she didn't much care for this man's peculiarities. "If I have to pick a color I suppose black will do just fine." She sighed, swallowing the pill before laying down on the table as gingerly as she could manage in order to avoid any potential spikes in the pain she already felt.
"We'll see." She responded to his third request. Sam hadn't seen his work firsthand and couldn't yet identify whether or not his services were praiseworthy.
[attr="class","bsbody"]He didn’t say another thing the woman. Infact, he waited entirely in the same place as before till the sedative took effect, and lulled her off to the slumber. The sedative was also one of those really strong ones that expensive. ”Don’t worry. We’ll bill them eventually. Just mark it down.” Entered his mind from his doll before a smile formed across his lips. His eyes focused again on her body, eyeing her heart and a few other systems to ensure she was properly asleep.
He quickly went to work on her arm. His eyes locked on the bones and lined them up by pulling on the sections of her arm. This sort of thing was really only possible for someone with sight like his. As soon as he was happy, Gott had brought over gauze padding that wrapped around the entire arm from her hand to near her shoulder. He was careful the entire time to make sure that the bone didn’t leave the careful place. Next he brought layers of black meshed fiberglass around her arm. Each layer would be allowed 10 minutes to harder before he brought more around to hold it in place. As soon as he’d finished 10 layers, he stepped away to let it cool.
The bruising, there wasn’t much for him to really do about that. He brought over some salves, and applied it across the bruisings. Again, expensive stuff. He’d charge the Soul Society eventually. The salve would heal the blood vessels that’d busted when she was hit. The internal stuff he couldn’t deal with much, other than to allow time.
As the next morning rolled around Kiku slipped down from his bedroom, not in his release state. In fact he’d chosen only to wear a pair of jeans with Gott on his face to protect his identity somewhat. He leaned over the stairs just lightly to look down at the woman with her casted arm and faded bruises. Now that he could see real colors again, she did have a nice rack. Sadly however, she was a patient still. Not someone for him to oogle. Before he’d gone to bed, he took out a change of women’s clothes that he had for situations like this. There was a tank top for her to slip on, which would be easier than a normal top and a pair of track pants. It laid across from her. He was curious when she was going to wake up. He was going to wait till she woke up before he opened his bar.

Sam floated on her back, sea water spraying over her astral form while the night stars glimmered above. This dream… It’d been some time since she’d had it. Turning over to face the water, the Shinigami floated up into the air, adorned in nothing but a silver one piece nightgown. Near the shore she could see her old house, the one she’d lived in while she had still been alive. When was it? When had she last dreamed like this…?
Something zipped past Sam’s head, making a beeline for the house upon the shore. It was a small creature, moving incredibly fast on wings as clear as an insect’s. “Wait!” She shouted but it payed her no mind, its small stature nearly vanishing as it neared the house.
Sam pursued, quick as her dreamlike astral body would allow her. She reached the front deck of the house, the creature lazily dancing between the windows. Reaching to catch the creature, but missing as its seemingly solid frame phased through the wall, disappearing inside. “I Said wait!” Frustrated, Sam reached for the door and swung it open.
Long dead grass crunched into dust beneath her feet. The door, gone. The house, gone. Nothing but an endless landscape of rolling dead hills stretched out before her in every direction. A crimson sky, glowing with the harsh light that only raging fires could produce. Yet there were no flames, only the sound of the wind rustling through dead brush. The wind was heavy and carried with it the tortured screams of souls long forsaken to the pits of agony.
An unfamiliar ceiling opened up before Sam’s eyes, followed by the dull pain of her injuries as she remembered where she was. Pushing herself to a seated position, she winced. The pain in her gut still hurt though it seemed to have dulled some. Looking around the room, Sam’s eyes fell upon her Zanpakuto and a set of clothing left behind for her to change into. Sliding off the table she stood and undid the sash which held the remainder of her uniform in place. Throwing the tattered cloth onto the table with her good arm she adorned herself, with some difficulty given her injuries and the cast, with the provided clothing. Though the clothing fit, she felt a bit sheepish with how light the tank top turned out to be.
She didn’t think much of until she gathered up her Zanpakuto and looked around, spotting the man who’d helped her standing on the stairs above. “H-how long have you been standing there?” She demanded, embarrassment and irritation mixing within the audio ques of her question. .
[attr="class","bsbody"]Since the time that he’d woken up, and begun his wait he’d already been down to the market to get stuff for breakfast, and had eaten. He’d actually returned, and removed his shirt to get comfortable again in his marked skin once more when she’d asked him that question. His head tilted off to the side before glancing at a clock. He waited for a few moments before turning his head back down at the now dressed woman. He shrugged some, deciding to save her some embarrassment. ”I only came back down just after you finished getting dressed. Do you feel a bit better though?” He asked her as he came back down the stairs the rest of the way. His arms crossed over his chests some before leaning against the rail at the end.
”Sorry if I seemed bit blunt last night, caught me as soon as I closed. I wasn’t expecting a patient so late, much less one of your orientation. My kind are more or less hesitant to be seen by you.” He said as he eyed her with his piercing red eyes. He was cautious around this woman. Given mostly because of her wounds. Before he could get a word out, his doll spoke for him. ”So dear, what did you run into to cause those wounds? Anything we need to know about in Naruki?” Slipped from the mask in somewhat of a concerned voice.

”A bit…” Sam shrugged in response, testing her broken arm and opting to keep it at her side when the pain of moving it seeped back into her nerves. Struggling, with single handed success to tie her Zanpakuto around her waist, she checked herself to make sure nothing was out of place.
“Nothing I think you’d need to concern yourself with” the Shinigami stated bluntly to the man’s concern, glancing at him with a curious gaze. She deduced enough to figure the other voice she was hearing seemed to be coming from the mask. ”So what are you exactly?” Sam asked, reaching up in front of herself and making swinging motions with her left arm, gauging how viable fighting with her off hand would be if she needed it. ”I heard you had abilities to aid in healing and knowledge of the spiritual worlds.”
Sam paused, thinking for a moment before continuing. ”I’d… appreciate it if you’d keep my visit here a secret…” the Shinigami didn’t attempt to keep eye contact, choosing instead to examine things around the room. ”Don’t suppose you’d mind some help around here…” The last thing Sam wanted was to return to Soul Society and be forced to explain to her squad-mates about the cast. She also dreaded the thought of returning to 11th squad before obtaining a replacement uniform, the tank top would not help her situation much if she returned now.
[attr="class","bsbody"]There was a moment that his temper began to flare, though it faded rather fast. She was a patient. Just because he was ignored didn’t mean he should snap on her. His head shook as his hand lifted to his face. ”Kiku...” Slipped from the mask before it left his face. His pale face visible to her for the first time. He blinked for a moment as his features seemed a bit innocent with the light smile he held. ”I’m a bount sweetie. Don’t know if you heard of us, but I’m another fuck up your people created.” He said with a rather nonchalant tone. A shrug graced his shoulders before laughing a tad. ”I don’t hold a grudge anymore. I’m just cleaning up their messes now. Though in terms of work I mean, I don’t have much for you to do other than cleaning at the end of the night. No gigai for you to use, and I lack customers of the spiritual plane on a regular.”
”Ashamed of going back home, and explaining that you got hurt?” Purred from the mask in his hand. ”Or, are you trying to do us a service by not running back and telling them?”

"Che-!" Irritated that the mask called her out, Sam broke away from the man's gaze, choosing instead to stare at the table.
"I know of the bount... I've read up on them at least." She didn't know why exactly but she felt slightly uncomfortable around this man. "But I was never a part of that experiment and I wouldn't have wanted to be. Messing with souls like that doesn't sit well with me..." Sam paused, or stopped rather. She didn't want him to think she was pitying him. She wasn't.
"It was an Arrancar if you must know." Sam shrugged halfheartedly. "Went by the name of Gwen Olivarez..." The hand of Sam's good arm clenched into a fist, her body shaking. Not from fear of remembering the Arrancar, but anger and frustration at having been unable to do anything about the monster's sudden appearance in the human world. "To think that I'm supposed to be here to protect these people when I'm not even strong enough to protect myself." Sam muttered under her breath clenching her fist even tighter and looking as if she were going to lash out again like she had last night. Instead she unclenched her fist and breathed out slowly.
"She had blond hair, blue eyes, hardly any mask visible, and her ears were pointed at the ends. If you see her I strongly recommend not engaging." Sam looked to the man as she described the offending party. "Though I suppose if she were after you there wouldn't be much point in trying to avoid her..." Sam's voice fell off as she continued.
"In any case, thanks for the aid." Sam shifted her broken Zanpakuto to her other side in light of her own broken right arm. "The name's Sam. And don't worry. My squad doesn't typically look favorably on weakness but I'll find some way to pass on word about your services..."
”Of course you had no part in them. You’d have to be easily over 500 to have been there.” He rattled off with a shrug. ”Messing with souls shouldn’t feel right with anyone. Hell, my existence is a middle finger in the direction of reincarnation.” He let slip before glancing back at her. He looked around the room he was in, and sighed. There was nothing she could really do around here till she’d gotten better, and it still came to the point that she was completely useless as a worker. At most she was a free loader.
”Surely you have plenty of room for her, and food for the proud one” his mask purred off, teasing at Sam. His head came to tilt side to side, thinking about it. ”I guess you could sit around here till you get to the point you can go home, but there is an issue. You have major issues I can’t handle. Unless you want to be my guinea pig with getting my skills back in order, your home might be the best idea. He let slip before leaning back against his table where he kept his supplies. If she was willing to be that kind of person, then he could at least get something out of her being here.

Sam would need plenty of time to mend, more than she would have wanted but then, bones wouldn't just heal overnight. There was also the matter of her broken Zanpakuto. Sam sighed, weighing her options. Her mission was generic surveillance and as such had no real deadline involved. She would return and someone else would take her place but returning too soon would also beg some questions from her superiors. Questions she'd rather not have to answer...
Was it pride? Perhaps... It made Sam begin to wonder when it was exactly she'd started acting in such a manner. 11th squad was full of pride and an unwillingness to show weakness of any kind. But had she always been that way too? Surely not, though it'd been some time since she'd become a member of the Gotei, she couldn't recall.
"My mission requires me to stay within this city for a time. Call it pride if you must, but I'd rather not return just yet. Not in this current state, and surely not before even a week's time has passed since I arrived..." Sam glanced around the table, floor, shelves. Searching for words and looking as if she were studying the place for some reason.
Examining her injuries again, Sam's eyes eventually stopped drifting and turned to find her benefactor's. "Until I'm healed enough to return, I see no reason why I can't assist you in whatever ways I can." She offered with a careful, casual shrug.
