"Kyōraku, glad to see you're still breathing. I can rest easy now."
Shin walked into the 8th Division barracks with a fruit basket to visit Kyōraku Shunsui, who was wrapped in bandages from head to toe. Ukitake Jūshirō was also there, looking after him.
"Are you here to laugh at my misery? I almost died, you bastard, and you're here enjoying the show?"
Kyōraku glared at Shin, genuinely on the verge of death. He was lucky to be alive.
"You should really bla yourself. You're the one who took there. I haven't even settled the score with you yet," Shin said, pulling up a chair and sitting down.
"How can you be so heartless? Are you even human?" Kyōraku stared at Shin. If he weren't so heavily injured by Unohana, he would have definitely fought Shin to the death.
"By the way, how co you're completely fine?"
Kyōraku looked at Shin, who didn't have a single scratch on him, not even a tear in his clothes, and felt even more annoyed.
"What do you think could happen to ?"
Shin said with a light chuckle. Although Unohana had beaten Kyōraku to a pulp, she hadn't laid a finger on Shin.
"The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get."
"Kyōraku, I think what Shin said before was right. If you hadn't taken him to that place, this wouldn't have happened. I recall Captain Unohana already warned you, didn't she?"
Ukitake said to Kyōraku.
What Ukitake said made Kyōraku's expression stiffen, but it was the truth. Kyōraku had brought this upon himself.
"Shin, seeing this badly injured, aren't you going to say sothing?"
Kyōraku was still not satisfied, mainly because of the contrast between him and Shin, who was completely unscathed.
"Didn't I co to visit you? I even brought you fruit. Aren't you grateful?"
"Grateful my ass! I heard you know healing Kidō. Hurry up and heal ," Kyōraku said, practically spitting blood.
He had no choice. The 4th Division wouldn't treat him. Unohana had given the order. He had been sent to the 4th Division, only to be carried right back out.
"That's no problem, but you'll have to pay," Shin said to Kyōraku with a grin.
Money was needed even in the Seireitei, and while a captain's salary wasn't low, it wasn't exactly high either. So, if there was a chance to earn so extra cash, Shin wouldn't refuse.
"You've got so nerve. Don't you rember why I got hurt in the first place? And you have the audacity to ask for money?"
Kyōraku shot up in anger, but the movent pulled at his injuries, and he imdiately lay back down.
"Don't say that. You might have taken a beating, but you also got out of paying yesterday's bill, didn't you?"
Because Unohana had stord in, Kyōraku had successfully skipped out on paying.
"You call that a win? They'll probably blacklist . I might never be able to go back."
Though he had saved so money, he might not be able to go back in the future. Thinking about it, the loss was quite significant.
"I think you should look on the bright side. You'll save a lot of money in the future," Shin said, patting Kyōraku's shoulder.
"Can you be more careful? You're touching my wounds."
Kyōraku said to Shin through gritted teeth.
"Oh, my apologies." Shin then used healing Kidō to restore Kyōraku's injuries, not the Mystical Palm Technique, but Kidō.
Shin had learned healing Kidō from Unohana Retsu, who had once sought guidance on the subject from Tenjirō Kirinji.
"I didn't expect you to be so skilled in healing Kidō, Shin. I really don't know how you find the ti to learn so many different things,"
Kyōraku couldn't help but say.
"That's probably what they call talent," Shin said with a smile, not at all modest.
"Can't you be a little humble? I'm a genius too," Kyōraku said with so pride. And to be fair, he really was a genius.
"Seeing that you're fine, I can rest easy. I have other things to do, so I won't interrupt you two,"
Shin glanced at Kyōraku and Ukitake, then turned to leave.
"Hey, what do you an by that?"
Kyōraku shouted after Shin.
"Looks like I'll have to keep my distance from you from now on," Ukitake said, glancing at Kyōraku.
One reason was to avoid any misunderstandings, but that wasn't the main one. The most important reason was to avoid being on Captain Unohana's bad side. If the mbers of his 13th Division were forbidden from receiving treatnt at the 4th Division, it would be a disaster.
After that, Ukitake also left, leaving a miserable-looking Kyōraku behind. Though Shin had healed him with Kidō, Kyōraku still needed a few days to fully recover.
————————
Shin returned to the 2nd Division barracks and saw Yoruichi, who had just returned. Besides Yoruichi, Unohana Retsu was also there.
"Why is she here too?" Yoruichi asked Shin.
"I should be asking you that. You're not going ho, so why are you here?" Shin asked, looking at Yoruichi.
She was really treating the 2nd Division like her ho. She wouldn't go back to her own ho, but she'd co here.
"It was my grandfather who told to co," Yoruichi said to Shin.
This ti, Yoruichi wasn't lying. It really was her grandfather who had told her to co.
"If you can be here, why can't I?" Unohana said faintly.
Unohana actually considered Yoruichi a nuisance, a botherso girl. If this were in the past, with her old temper, she probably would have used her sword to drive Yoruichi out.
"Shin, I finished your paperwork for you," Unohana said to Shin.
"Is that so? Then thank you, Retsu," Shin said with a smile to Unohana. He really had to thank her for this. After all, Shin had a psychological aversion to dealing with paperwork.
"You, a captain of the 4th Division, actually ca to the 2nd Division to do paperwork. Won't that cause any problems?" Yoruichi looked at Unohana with suspicion.
"Don't underestimate adults, little one." Unohana said, patting Yoruichi on the head with narrowed eyes. Yoruichi's face instantly showed annoyance. She hated it when people treated her like a child who hadn't grown up.
Besides, Yoruichi was already sixteen—she didn't consider herself a child anymore.
"How's Kyōraku Shunsui?" Unohana asked Shin.
"I think you should know his situation better than I do."
Hearing Unohana's question, Shin couldn't help but say. After all, it was Unohana who had beaten him up, so she naturally knew best.
