The Missing Piece - Closed

Kaminari had returned to the village that she met Kazuma in. She didn't know whether he would be there or not, but she was hoping to see him again. She did promise they she would come back for both him and Makoto in hopes of helping them both. It was strange. The two were one person, but so different at the same time. At least that was how she saw it. She couldn't believe that he was forced to live in a cave, although it was understandable. It seemed to Kaminari that his power was currently being controlled by his emotions, and she couldn't even imagine what would happen if he had a nightmare or something like that and crushed the entire town on accident. He'd wake up in horror. In a way, this Jiraiya Zanpakutō was probably very smart in keeping him away. Kaminari still wanted to help him though, so today she was going to try. She had no idea of the carnage that she was about to be met with.

She had entered the town. This part of it seemed deserted for some reason. She was walking through the streets until she finally saw a large group of people at the end of the street. They were actually near where she had first met Makoto after he transformed. "What's... going on?" she asked herself, but that question was quickly answered. She over heard a man yelling about trying to find their dog named Kazuma. Kaminari immediately knew they weren't actually speaking about a dog. "... Oh no..." she suddenly got really worried. She could sense that something big was going on in this distance, but couldn't tell what. Either some people were dying or dead, or Kazuma's energy was going out of control. For some reason she thought it might be both. She put herself in a decent hiding place behind a building and peeked her head around to watch what these men intended to do. She wanted to gather more information before daring to interfere. They were a part of some clan, that much she knew because she heard it. If they made any stupid moves, she would be here to kick their asses.

Kaminari was about to snap. She didn't even waste her time using her energy to shunpo towards these assholes. She was fast enough anyway. The one who was picking up the girl and swinging her. That was her first target. In a fit of rage, Kaminari ran forward fast enough to not even be seen by these idiots. She slammed her head to the side of Snow's head and forced his body straight into the ground. She wasn't exactly the strongest Shinigami around, but at the speed she moved, the mere momentum would easily allow this to happen, especially since she knew she had caught this male off guard. Kaminari wasn't even in the mood for speaking. Why? Because she wasn't in the right of mind to control a certain ability of hers. She would gladly use it on these two, but the others were way too close. They would be effected by her little ability. Though, these were the same people who she had to use it on last time she met Kazuma, she didn't want that to happen again.

As Snow was forced to the ground, her gaze shifted up to the other one, Zie. This one had blades all over his body and getting cut was also not something on her to do list, so she avoided close combat with him. "Invade the Air, Shiroka." She said in a whisper in order to not hurt the others with her vocal ability. She reached back and unsheathed the first of her two Zanpakutō swords. Within an instant her sword turned into two hundred orchids and shot forward at the same speed that she had when she first attacked Snow. The orchids slammed into his body and she raised the hilt of her sword. The orchids followed the command and pushed this Zie man into the air. Once he was at a good distance, she had them surround his entire body, all of this happening within a mere two seconds. She shifted her wrist and had every single one of her orchids explode on him. Each explosion had the ability to shatter bones and were three feet in diameter. Now, she only waited for both of their reactions.

Kaminari didn't care for any of the cheers of the crowd. She was pissed off and new she needed to calm down. Suddenly she heard a childs voice and turned to see one coming towards her. "Go go go! Kazu-kun needs you help! He needs help now! He's hurt! He's hurt really bad!" The child was pointing upwards towards something. Kaminari didn't hesitate to run into that direction. She could see him slightly in the distance. Her orchids from her Shikai were following her along as she ran through to him. Finally, she made it to Kazuma. Dropping to her knees, she slid the rest of the way towards him and stopped by his side. Making sure he was on his back, she looked to the injury in his chest and began to panic, "Oh my god... Kazu... honey, are you okay? Remember me? It's Kaminari. I'm going to help you, okay? W-we're gonna get you some help, okay?" she said to him in a reassuring tone. She was having trouble holding back the tears she really wanted to cry. A black butterfly appeared next to her suddenly, having moved through it's own dimension to get to her. "Deliver this message to the Lieutenant of Squad Four... Kanna, I need you now. Please get to me as fast as you can." Giving the coordinates to her position, Kaminari sat there in a panic, but kept a calm face. Her heart was beating extremely fast, in fear of losing him.

Kaminari's heart sank as she heard Kazuma's words. She could tell why he was crying. She understood what he was going through. It was all accidental. He never wanted to hurt anyone. Something amazing happened as well. As Kaminari watched him, his eyes shifted to those that she saw on Makoto. Although it confused her on which one of them were actually the one speaking to her, she still wasn't going to blame him. "No, no... It's okay. Help will be here soon. It wasn't your fault, okay?" It seemed she was able to control her voice. Before, when she was enraged, she felt the restraint drop and knew she wouldn't be able to speak, but it was back. "Come here..." she knew it was probably not the best idea, but at the moment it was all she could do to comfort him. She picked him up from his position and laid his back against her. "You're going to be okay..." She was forcing back her tears about now. She didn't want him to hear or see her cry.

Suddenly she felt something. It was coming closer. "Oh thank god..." she thought to herself as her hug tightened around Kazuma. Kanna was on her way and she was almost here. It would probably only take a couple more minutes for her to arrive. "Kanna hurry.. Please." Kaminari glanced over to the people down the hill. They were all staring up at her as if they were waiting for some sort of confirmation. Their opinions about him seemed to have changed since the last time she was here. Whatever it was, he must have done something good for them to be worried about him. At least that she was thankful for. "Everyone is worried about you Kazuma. I think they all want you to get better. You can see them right." The way she had him positioned, he was sitting up slightly and facing them, so hopefully he would be able to see.

Kaminari had never felt so relieved until now. Kanna had shown up on time and Kazuma was currently being healed. Kaminari knew one thing about Kanna's powers from a previous battle she had been in, if she stayed inside the barrier too, it wouldn't work as fast. Seeing that Kazuma's injuries were great, slowing down the healing process was not something that she wanted. She laid Kazuma back down on his back and stood up, walking out of the barrier. She looked up to Kanna and waved her arms for the girl to come towards them. "KANNA!" Kaminari yelled as Kanna landed close to them. Kaminari, still fighting the tears, ran towards the woman and hugged her tightly, "Thank you so much for coming... If you didn't I know he wouldn't have survived. Thank you so much." Kaminari's voice was slightly shaky. She was trying to calm her nerves, and trying to let go of the fear she had felt when she thought she was going to lose Kazuma. Dropping down to her knees, she looked over to the boy inside the barrier and just waited until he would be healed.
