Day 30: Cafeteria, Breakfast

Hitsugaya woke with a start.

His entire body ached, but the pain was nowhere near as bad as it had been the night before. His injuries had been tended two with clean gauze and bandages, and he found every movement wasn't agony. He wasn't in the best of shape, but thanks to the miracle of landel's strange time distortion, he had mostly recovered from the vile poison without having to waste anyone else's talents.

And in his hand, still...there was the key.

He dressed quickly, sliding the key onto the key ring from his desk drawer and stuck it into his pocket. Whether the key stood to gain them anything or not, it stood as a vital reminder that they could succeed in this place. There was hope, as insignificant as it often seemed. They could beat this place.

That small shred of hope made getting up worth it.

The nurse who escorted him to breakfast was cheerful, and commented idly about how wonderful it was to see young Tommy Winters up and about again after his unfortunate run-in with a bad case of food poisoning. He smirked slightly, knowing that any lies the institute forced into their heads were only that: lies. He wouldn't buy it for a second. And on top of that, the concept of muffins sounded almost appetizing. While he still preferred his authentic Japanese cuisine, the food here was slowly becoming more and more bearable. He would have preferred a warm bowl of sweet nattou over rice over the mufffins, but they would do. The plain yogurt and fruit, on the other hand, was excellent. He piled his plate high with fruit as usual, and got several small bowls of yogurt as well.

Finding the most convenient table to the end of the food line, he took a seat and scanned for the new arrivals. New arrivals meant people who would be lost and confused. Renji did a good job of making a bulliten post last time...he should recommend abarai-fukutaicho do the same again this time.

At Kairi's statement, Axel gave her a 'if you don't believe me, you're more than welcome to volunteer' kind of look before it dropped and raised into his usual grin. Still, the redhead was being too modest for her own good, but he guessed that was how the female brain worked, which only fueled his suspicions that Larxene had a sex change when she transformed into a Nobody.

But he had to admit it was pathetically endearing in a way. However, before he could even contemplate an appropriate response, he heard a cry from one of nurses when she was visibly attacked. And soon enough more people began to join the fray, kicking and punching any staff member in sight. Axel would've been lying if he didn't want a piece of something as well, but he quickly changed his mind when one of the nurses were knocked into their table, the collision rattling the surface violently.

Without even thinking he reached over to Kairi and pulled her close. The fight looked to be a pretty decent size, but he didn't feel like taking any chances at the moment.

"Just stay close, okay?"

From the corner of his eye he could spot Sora trying to force another redhead from attacking, which in itself was a pretty comical scene since the brunet was an ant in comparison.

Kairi hadn’t even seen the fight coming! One minute she was talking with Axel, and the next, a nurse was sent flying onto their table.

The sudden collision made her take in a sharp gasp, which only caused her throat to sting, which only caused her to start coughing. Once she had gotten her coughing under control, she carefully maneuvered herself so she could peer under Axel’s arm to stare out at the fight that was breaking out.

Of course, it was at this time that she saw Rukia attack a nurse with her wheel chair, and the younger girl let out a surprised cry for her roommate. Sora appeared to be holding back Renji, who looked as if he was going to lunge at any possible second. “What the …” she whispered under her breath before finally turning to look back up at Axel with a shocked expression. “Do you have any idea what’s going on? Because if you do, maybe you should try and explain to me.”
