Day 37: Sun Room

[hismastersdance.livejournal.com]

Joe had read some of the larger notes stuck up on the bulletin board when the announcement came on the intercom. All things considered, this Landel guy didn't even seem so bad. Even if these people were held here against their will, he was certainly nice about it.

Apparently, the new patients - including Joe - were to hang around in the Sun Room or go to Arts and Crafts with the kids. Well, there was plenty of information on the board, including maps and descriptions of monsters, for Joe to prepare for the nighttime, when he could seriously get going on fighting his way out. He could look for where the boss would probably be waiting, or where his V-watch might be, and figure out how to fight the monsters. In fact, he had plenty of time to work all that out... but this the first time he'd had to really relax since he got his powers. So it couldn't possibly hurt to enjoy the calm period, could it?

The red-head stepped back from the board, and hopped back onto a comfy-looking couch to digest in the sunlight. He reached up to pull his cap down, and sighed when he realized it wasn't there. "Oh well, nothing's perfect. I still wouldn't call this hell."

Kira had never doubted Hinamori's fighting ability - okay, maybe once or twice back in the academy, but did that even count any more? - and so to know that she had succeeded in a battle here when she was weakened against an enemy who had no restraint was a bit of a relief. But to see her so injured afterward - half-blinded, her wrist broken, possibly worse hidden under her clothes - gave him enough worry to override that relief. Even if it was just the gigai, she still couldn't get out of it here. The only way for her to heal completely was to get out of here altogether.

That was their goal anyway, wasn't it? He looked at the damage around her eye forlornly, then down at the cast on her wrist.

"It has to be," he said, trying to convince himself as much as her. "And even if it's not ... maybe the Fourth could help." Could they fix blindness days after the fact? More? He knew they were good at what they did, but he wasn't sure if they were that good. "You did what you had to do. If she was a threat, there was no choice." She'd protected her honor, and a human. He would have done the same, he imagined. He hoped.

"Not everyone is going to see it as that," Momo replied, quietly, pulling her legs to her, seeming smaller than she normally was. "I have a good friend, one that's not shinigami, who is a knight, that is going to have issues with this because the Noah was another patient. I don't know what her reasoning is, but I know she's going to have words and... I don't like having her disapproval."

Momo then sighed. "And the other Noah, the one named Tyki, is going to attempt to get revenge. I don't know when, but I know he's going to try." And with her eye she wasn't entirely sure she could fend him off, but she wasn't going to say that. "I'll find a way, so please don't worry, even though I know you're going to."

She sighed and looked across the room, her gaze finding Ichimaru among the others. "You know... it's only because of Hitsugaya's orders that I haven't killed him. I swear to you, Kira, if he tries to harm you, in any way, I will end him. This truce he and I have had... it's over. I'm not going to let him do to you what he did before."
