Time to Return

Tempest finally recollected herself, the shocked expression vanishing. She couldn't worry about that now. She had more important work to do.

She sighed and walked over the the passed out Jade, and picked her up like she weighed nothing, even though she had a wound in her side.

"Tempest-san, your wound," Kiyoshi stated.

Tempest averted his eyes. "I'm fine... We must return to the Soul Society and report what happened here. There's too much to do." She says.

"But what do we do with Jade?" Natsumi asked.

Tempest glanced at her, an emotionless expression on her face now, "We have no choice but to take her with us and train her. She may most likely be more help to us at the Soul Society than she would be here." She answered.

"Besides... it is all my fault." Tempest said quietly, carefully holding Jade.

((Now they'll go back to the Soul Society, but they will go back to the World of the Living. So don't worry. Anyone else may continue~))
