Day 34: Lunch
Yuffie bounced all the way through collecting her lunch, all the way to a good seat- one with a nice view of the whole cafeteria, which was something she'd been missing out on during the past day or so that she'd been stuck in the Institute- and hell, she even bounced into her seat.
A good mood? No, really?
Despite the occasional blip, talking to Sagara had been awesome. He was a fun guy; he wasn't a prude, didn't have a stick shoved so far up his ass it was poking out his eyeballs, and he'd actually had a conversation with her. One that hadn't revolved around doom, gloom or how much life sucked. If she could find other people like that and keep in touch with Sagara, maybe there was a little hope for this place.
After a quick gulp of pink lemonade, Yuffie settled to munching through her food and keeping an eye on the door.
[Waiting for Dean, I think? :x]

Half a second later, the healer realized what he had just said and froze in place. Ichimaru-san was looking right at him, and Hanatarou attempted to clear his mind enough to calculate just how quickly he could duck under the table in case things went really, really bad in the near future.
no subject
He gave a silent snicker, the corner of his mouth twisting upward in a frightening smirk for just a moment. "You won't mind, will ya?" he asked, voice innocent even if his expression said otherwise.
no subject
This wasn't what Hitsugaya-taichou had in mind when he'd mentioned an "assignment" for the night, was it? He wasn't going to have to work with Ichimaru Gin?
Oh no. Oh no. That couldn't be right. Could it?
Hanatarou swallowed, hands tightening about the cup he held as though it could somehow protect him. What he meant to say was maybe something terribly clever about not wanting to so much as give the time of day to a traitor, much less work with him, or maybe something more like 'please have mercy no'. But what came out was, "I-I, um, b-but I...you...aah?"
no subject
Opting for just a salad and pink lemonade, Rukia stopped to look around the large room before deciding where she would sit. She'd read Hanatarou's posts on the bulletin board, and spotted him quickly despite his nondescript appearance. The man he was sitting with gave her pause, though. Ichimaru.
Suppressing a shudder, Rukia hesitated. She really didn't want to go anywhere near the former captain. Hanatarou looked like he was about to pass out from terror, though, and she couldn't let her friend be tormented by the slimy traitor. Swallowing hard, she tried to school her expression into one of neutrality and approached the pair.
"Hanatarou?" she managed, with only a slight tremor to her voice, "Are you okay?" She did not look at Ichimaru.
no subject
"He's jus' a little outta sorts," Gin supplied, since Hanatarou (that was the name, wasn't it? Why did he always have trouble with that one...) seemed to be having trouble speaking. "I think Hitsugaya-taichou... mighta forgot to mention a few things."
While Kuchiki's guard dog Abarai might have said Gin wasn't allowed anywhere near her, he couldn't very well be held responsible if the girl came of her own free will.
no subject
When Ichimaru-san spoke up, though, Hanatarou realized that she had just brought herself into the figurative line of fire. He cautiously relaxed his grip on the cup he held before he crushed the thing entirely, and managed to find his voice again. Mostly. "Ah, Rukia-san, I, I'm fine. Um. I just...I haven't been here very long."
Hanatarou's gaze slid a little toward Ichimaru as he spoke, despite his resolve not to look back that way. He'd rather not be here here very long, either.
no subject
"I see," she said. Her eyes focused on the table as she spoke; she may have been responding to either man. Looking back up at Hanatarou, "Coming here can be... very confusing. I'm sorry that you're not safe, in Soul Society."
no subject
"Maa... actually Yamada-kun was saying he was jus' on his way outta Soul Society anyway. Where was it y'all were headed again?" he asked innocently.
He shrugged his shoulders, "Ara, and Kuchiki-san, f'give me for not greetin' ya properly. To what do I owe this lil' visit?"
no subject
But the other's attention was once more moving over to Rukia-san, much to Hanatarou's dismay. She obviously enjoyed the former captain's presence as much as the healer did - did she come over just to talk to him? Couldn't be. "Ah, um, Rukia-san I, m-maybe we could, um..." Run away quickly? Sit somewhere else?
He might not stand up for himself, but Hanatarou didn't want to see Rukia in distress.
no subject
Glancing at Ichimaru, she said, "I-I came to see Hanatarou. We're, uh, friends, and so..." She made a movement as though she was going to sit down, then stopped. She really didn't want to be there just then. She really, really didn't want to be there.
no subject
"How sweet. Yamada-kun is lucky to have such a good friend, ne? No need t'just stand there Kuchiki-san, you c'n have a seat too." It was obvious they both wanted to leave, but neither one seemed able to give voice to their thoughts.
no subject
The healer glanced between the pair, quickly averting his eyes from Ichimaru again as he realized how unwise that was. Just looking at the man made his knees and resolve weaker, and neither were all that strong to begin with. "Um, Rukia-san, I...I'm finished eating i-if you wanted to sit...somewhere else." Somewhere far, far away from this table.
no subject
She had resolved herself to sit just as Hanatarou stood, and between the two of them they almost upset her tray. She thought briefly that picking up spilled food would have been less awkward than facing Ichimaru. All the same, she forced her knees to bend, and sat rather stiffly in the seat next to Hanatarou. Maybe she was crazy.
Casting about for something to say, Rukia's mind was quickly drawn back to the two folders still tucked into the waist band of her pants, and the file room where she had gotten them the previous night. "W-what are your names?" she asked suddenly. "The names that the nurses call you."
