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

Kaminari and her group would appreciate any help they could get at this point. They weren’t sure when it would be coming otherwise, and the healers of this place definitely needed to stay as healthy as possible. Kaminari glanced back at Hana and then nodded at Joshua. She finally dropped her hands and stopped using her kaido. Plopping down a bit, she wiped some sweat from her brow.

“Y-Yeah, she can stay. I-…” “Aunt Kaminari…” a voice suddenly came out of absolute nowhere. Kaminari blinked and looked over to a young girl, no older than eight or nine. “When’s Dad coming back?” “He will come for you the moment he can, Mayumi. For now, you have to stay within the barrier, alright?” “I know… Who’re you?” Mayumi asked Joshua, “My name is Mayumi Shirazumi.”

Hana took a moment to look up to the child that spoke, blinking in surprise at her presence. Of course, she must have been a kid rescued from the chaos out there. Good… Who knew how many children suffered in this… That thought brought Hana’s mind back to Reida… That was another person she tried to help and failed.

Mayumi happily reached out and took Joshua’s hand, “Nice to meet you too.” Even with the chaos going on around her, Mayumi seemed just fine. She was smiling, even if not the biggest, and she didn’t have a scratch on her, so she had been made safe. She sat down near them, a child wanting to join the rest of the adults.

“Huh?” Kaminari raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?” After a moment, a look of realization came on her face and she accepted that mocking tone as his clown side. “Well, uh… I guess you’ll have to be hurt then?” she said, a rather strained attempt at projecting humor back at Joshua. She was always so tense.

“How did you get hurt so bad? She healed you, so you owe Aunt Kaminari your life.” Mayumi said, the final sentence accompanied by the smuggest goblin grin.

"Uh, uh, uh... Miss Kaminari," Hana called, her voice panicking. Kaminari looked over to see Koga's chest rising and falling too quickly to be stable. She scooted over and held both hands over the man's chest and began her work. It took a few seconds, but Koga began calming down. Now only using one hand for normal kaido, she cast another separately, reapplying the durability kido to help numb the pain again, and then continued like normal. She could feel her energy getting low, and she did not want to have to pull out her second wind on this, but she might... "He's okay..."

“Yep,” Mayumi stated like her word was law, but when things got scary, she scooted away from the injured man. Sitting back in a corner, she curled her legs up and hugged them, wishing her Dad were hurry up and beat the bad guys so she could go home. Of course, there was always that fear that her father wasn’t coming…

While Kaminari worked, Hana moved to the other side of Koga, now facing the rest of the group, and held onto his hand. Even though she was horribly worried about him, she was calming down enough to at least listen to the conversation.

“Aunt Kaminari brought me here right before my house blew up,” Mayumi explained sadly, staring at the floor. “Well, not my real house, but my Uncle J’s house. We were running… and she put up a barrier that protected us from a big ball of fire…”

In hearing Joshua compliment her, Kaminari actually blushed. Flustered, the woman turned away from Joshua, hiding the fact that the compliment had actually done anything. Mayumi kept on talking, distracting herself from the chaos around, “It’s boring over here and watching people get healed is sad.”

“Mayumi, if you want to do something, you can help clean up the work areas,” Kaminari looked over to the child. The girl was spoiled and didn’t find “a point” in helping out around here. “We could use help getting up any trash; just put on these gloves,” Reiko held some sanitary gloves in front of the girl. Mayumi was appalled, and looked to Kaminari for help. “Get up and start helping.” Reluctantly, Mayumi stood up and walked off with Reiko. “That child… I swear; her father spoils her.”

"Is that so wrong? If anyone should spoil a child, should it not be their parents?" Hana asked, glancing up from Koga to Kaminari. "Not to the degree of not understanding how to interact with the real world." "A child should not have to interact with the real world." "Then how do you prepare them for it?" "...I do not know, but there is a reason she is being protected here... and not fighting out there."

Kaminari reinitiated another kaido spell, each one she added causing more strain on her at this point. She was using way too much energy. Between these three and the couple dozen she had worked on before they arrived, the fact that she had not passed out was a miracle, or pure adrenaline. Hana looked up over the Seireitei and closed her eyes, trying to focus her reikaku throughout the area she could reach. She wasn't finding anyone... No Hono, no Hiroe, No Kaito... No Tento... No Akira or Reida. Lowering her head, she tightened her grip on Koga's hand. 'This is horrible...'

“You’d be a good dad…” Hana said, her voice close to a whisper.

Kaminari was not going to make any sort of comment there, but might have quietly agreed with Hana. She just kept focusing on Koga since he was close to being healed up. She wasn’t sure what sort of internal injuries he had, but she could tell he would be okay. His breathing was normal and his face had relaxed further.

"Alright, thanks, we could use it," Kaminari said.

However, someone else had a problem with this. Hana looked up from Koga to Joshua and shook her head. "Wait, no, no, no... Stay. It is too dangerous," she said, staring fearfully him, eyes wide, another sense of panic setting in.
