Lying in Wait

Juushiro returned to Fourth Division, coughing and a dribble of blood on his lips, but he wiped it off and managed a small smile for the sentries. They waved him past with a smile of their own, though they faded when his died down. He sighed. He was really a person everyone paid attention to, especially now that their other 'angel' had fallen from grace. He offered one more wider smile, eyes gleaming, before entering the building, heading for his room.

Grim Morning at the Fourth

It was today. Kita's judgement. Juushiro draped the new captain's haori over his shoulders and brushed his long hair out of his eyes, pausing to glance at his fingers. A slight tremor persisted, but they were no longer stained crimson, black and blue from his torture. The throbbing in his throat had faded to a dull ache. The captain of the thirteenth division was far from well and would be returning to his room there afterwards; however, he could, at the very least be there for his friends in a bad situation.

What fates were awaiting Kita and Tsukiro?

He sighed, coughing lightly, and his eyes flashed. It was time. He opened the door and walked out, met halfway down the quiet hall by Captain Unohana.

"Thank you for your care, Retsu," he greeted with a small smile.
