Fix it, Fix it, Fix it, Fix it [Joshua, Hana, Koga, Kaminari]

Kaminari was focused on using Kaido to close the gaping wound across a man’s chest when a cry for help pierced the air. The voice was familiar, but it was the look of terror in the eyes of those entering the medical station that fully pulled her attention away from her patient. Glancing up, her gaze locked onto their rather gory injuries. Blood-streaked burns, torn flesh, and an eerie stillness.

"Reika, here. Now," Kaminari barked the order, her voice cold and sharp as she motioned for a subordinate to take over, giving Reika permission to abandon her current paperwork. Kaminari rushed toward the new arrivals.

Joshua struggled with Koga's limp form, the man’s skin charred and broken in strange patterns, clearly burned by something more sinister than fire. Together, they lowered him onto a stretcher, and Kaminari began her examination of this injuries.

Hana collapsed beside them as Joshua let her go. Her face was pale, a stark contrast to the burns and cuts scattered across her skin. Koga remained unresponsive the entire time, and though she sat quietly, panic gripped her. Her breaths came in shallow, frantic bursts, her hands trembling. The pain in her legs and the burns scattered across her skin dulled her senses, but not enough to numb the guilt tearing through her. She should have saved him, but all she could do was watch that horror unfold. And now, she wasn't sure he would live another day...

“You guys take a hit for the girl, or something?"

Kaminari had meant it as a joke, seeing how much damage had been done to them, while practically nothing was on Hana. Seeing Hana grip her own hands so tightly they shook, Kaminari reached out and in a show of kindness and confidence. She gently turned Hana's gaze toward her. "I've got them. They'll be fine."

"M'hm," a soft whimper and a weak nod was all Kaminari got in return.

"What happened? Explain these injuries." Kaminari's voice was calm, and she already knew... reiryoku burns were unmistakable, the twisted energy having eaten into the flesh. Yet, something about these wounds felt more malevolent, twisted.

Hana barely turned her head enough to let Joshua know she heard him. Her eyes remained fixed on Koga and the unbearably horrid wounds he received. It wasn’t until Joshua wrapped an arm around her that she finally turned away, and when seeing the comforting smile he always offered, Hana’s already fragile composure shattered. Her face twisted and she quickly hid behind her hands. She still tried keeping herself together, but it all slipped out as ragged breaths, soon turning into broken sobs she couldn’t control. “Please, forgive me,” she begged between sobs.

Kaminari placed her hand on Joshua and Koga at the same time, taking a low breath as she recited her incantation, “In sight of victory, surrounded by light. The guardian rises to protect the weak. A vow of pure resolve.” Originally, this bakudo had been made to support those in the middle of battle, but it would slow the burning on both of them for the next minute or so, giving her time to handle the altered reiryoku. It did this by increasing their durability, though they would feel heavier, like they were carrying extra weight. Luckily, that did not matter now.

“Crawling from the edge, restore all blood and flesh. Reconstruct the wall and follow through to sanctuary,” Kaminari recited as she placed a hand on both Hana and Joshua. Their rate of healing would increase by 150%, giving her time to deal with Koga. From there, she unsheathed her zanpakuto and released her shikai. Using the blade, Kaminari began slowly using it to cut away the napalm that was clinging to Koga. It movements were as surgical as they could be in this situation, and because of the nature of her shikai, was working extremely well.

By the time Koga was stable, Hana had gotten to tired to cry. Her body was still trembling, and a hand clinging to Josh at every moment, as if she would fall through the ground and land in hell if she let go, but she was silent.

Kaminari took a breath and stood up to move over to Josh and Hana. “Your friend is stable. He took quite the beating, but he’ll live,” Kaminari said as she sat down in front of Joshua. With a sigh, clearly from being tired, Kaminari began cutting away the ice from Joshua, but could feel her energy waning. “… Can… you do this?”

Hana released Joshua and crawled over to Koga. She sat down next to him and ran her hand through his hair, looking over the wounds that seemed to be slowly healing even as Kaminari moved away. "I am so sorry, Koga..." she whispered.

"A girl like that shouldn't even be in the Gotei..." Kaminari whispered, holding her hands over Joshua and utilizing regular kaido to deal with his injuries.

Kaminari was surprised to see that Joshua wasn’t his usual smiling, sunshine-and-rainbows self. Even he, it seemed, could take something seriously. Still, that night was far from one of her proudest moments. “I’m going to take this opportunity to embarrass myself and apologize at one of the dumbest times…” Kaminari said, her eyes still focused on his injuries. “I was rude… It was uncalled for… The night we went out, I mean. You didn’t deserve that treatment; I am still uncertain why I felt so... Let's call it 'out of place'... Anyways, yeah... Sorry about that night."

Hana sat silently next to Koga, completely able to hear Kaminari's apology. In the midst of it, Hana could not help but look back over her shoulder at Joshua, pointing at Kaminari, shaking her head, and mouthing 'I do not like this woman' before turning back around to Koga. She did her best to ignore the rest...

That chuckle was quickly met with a short glare, but she continued it anyways. Perhaps she deserved to be laughed at; this was not the time for such things, and the date was… horrible, and it was her fault. The least she could do was ignore that… Seeing a smile, Kaminari gave a quick nod and kept working. “Thanks…”

In the background, Joshua could see Hana giving a quick thumbs up and then it dramatically overturned into a big thumbs down, even if she was still keeping her eyes on Koga. 'She.. doesn't seem like his type... Hana what do you know anyway?'

“I can do that, but it might take a while…” Kaminari said, looking out toward the Seireitei. People were still fighting, injured being brought in… People were still dying out there. Kaminari knew her service would do better here. At least those she helped could return to the fight or survive the night until things continued again. “If anyone outside of the medical corps is cooking right now, I would be surprised, but if you have some connections for food, none of us would complain…”
