Home. wounded and tired

Rina stumbled out of the senkaimon and collapsed in the autumn-grass, breathing tiredly as she gazed into the blue heaven pattered with small white clouds. She sealed Byakko and the sheath returned to its place, Byakko was worried about her, she could feel as much. More so, Rina was angry at herself from failing so dramatically.

Her shoulder and left arm ached, as did her right foot... what had happened to that? Right, the bastard had come from underground. She would be very precise in her report and say that encounter on groundlevel should be avoided if possible.

She sat up and looked at her ruined outfit, the blood was still flowing rather freely, which would explain her dizziness.

Sitting next to Rina smoking on his pipe and watching his newly achived girlpanties sat Akubi smiling softly.
he suddently sees Rina and bends over her.
"Rina you're okay baby? Sit still"
Akubi takes a jar from his clothes and a beige mudlike cremeshows up in it.
He puts the creme on Rinas wounds as the bleeding stops emeideitly, and he gives Rina a bottle of sake.
"Drink some sake, it will lower the pain a bit at least."
Akubi niceugai the most unserious man of the whole soulsociety and a completely slacker, how has he even achived the rank of captain?
No one quite knew.
Akubi takes a bit of paper from his clothes and a penn.
"Well what did happen, and why did'nt you call for back up by the way?"

Rina smiled at Akubi, before she sipped the sake bottle, she still felt like her head was spinning around. The redhead sighed as she again glanced at her ruined clothes.
"I met a vizard. Non-friendly. He attacked me after he had attracted hollows, a large number of them too," Rina started between sips. "He revealed himself as vizard when he used a technique to hide under earth, it was Armand Gulliotine." She looked over at the bespectacled captain. "He isn't as dead as the reports state. I recognized both his and his zanpakutous reiatsu."

Akubi writes down every if Rinas word before flicks the paper into a plane and a wind grabs it and moves it toward the seireitei.
Akbui smiles as he sees the little paperplane.
"Well that was kind of a chock you know, but as your fellow captain i must belive your words, but number 1 priority is that you just lay back and relax for a couple of minutes before i will escort you to the captain commander for further actions.
Akubi emties a bottle of sake before he yawns and lays back in the grass besides Rina.
"What did you think when you did travel to the world of the living by yourself baby?"

"I am a captain Akubi, I travel to the living world at least twice a month. I never have escorts and I don't need them now either." Rina always used his first name, at least when she was sure that they were alone, "and when it come to shock, I was very surprised when he turned on me." The petit woman leaned back into the grass, she could remember fighting side by side with the clearly insane man. "I wonder if his hollow is in control?"

"Well be sure to take it easier next time and drink some more sake it calms you down"
Akubi gives Rina another bottle of sake before he once again smile his softly, calm and kind smile.
He yawns a bit and drink some more sake.
"You can be sure if he was himself or not, since i knew armand as a quiet and very lonly man of few words, could you find anything with him that dos not fit him on that point?"
Akubi scratched his beard and tilted his strawhat a bit to the right.

"Sake do not calm me down, it makes me drunk. Substantial blood-loss however makes me calm."
Rina uncorked the second bottle, "and for Armand being himself or not, I don't know. He wished for more bloodshed than I could give him, I was stupid not to use my bow from the start."

She wasn't to keen on meeting the sou-taichou, it would be an awkward discussion.
