Squad 2 Captain's Office

[Espada Akira Harribel]

*sigh*"Oh..."*senses a hollow*"Hollow....ah?"*turns around quickly to get slammed into the wall behind her*"Aaaaagggghhhh!!!!!!ughff....."*let's out a terrifieing scream then faints*  

[Captain Taka]

About 3 or 4 Shikakus run into the office. "Hm... What's a hollow doing here?" one of them says, after noticing Ayume unconscious. They all pulled out their matching chain sickles and slough the hollow, then one of them walked towards Ayume, picked her up, and rested her on one of the chairs at his desk.  

[Espada Akira Harribel]

*opens eyes slowly then blinks*"W-what the hell happened.Ow....."*winces in pain*  

[Captain Taka]

One of the Shikaku's that was standing around her, not the one that picked her up, said "You let a simple hollow knock you out after Shikaku left"  

[Espada Akira Harribel]

*coughs up blood*"I see...so that's what I get for trying to confess my feelings for him to him.I shouldn't have done that I should've just stayed stubborn towards him and this wouldn't have happened."*I say weakly then I pass out again*  

[Captain Taka]

"Heh, I can't believe she actually blames it on THAT!" one of the clones said aloud to the others, "Yeah, it has nothing to do with that," another one responded. Then one of them said they were going to report to the real Shikaku and shunpoed away, while the rest all stood and waited for Ayume to reawaken.  

[Espada Akira Harribel]

*I wouldn't awaken again this time since i was hit pretty hard and where I was hit was where Shikaku sliced the heck out of my side*  

[Captain Taka]

"Hm... so she got hit there huh?" one of the Shikaku's said while examining the wounded area, "One of you get the materials for Fire Tea please," he asked the others. One of them walked up with a few tea ingredients, a pitcher of boiled water, and the thing you put natural tea ingredients into to make tea. The Shikaku that asked for the materials took them, put some into the tea maker, and poured in the water. he then began crushing the herbs in the tea maker amongst the water, until the tea came out a deep amber shade. He then poured this into a tea cup, and poured it down Ayume's throat. Shortly after pouring the tea down, Ayume would wake in a panic from the heat and spice, so all of the Shikakus backed away from her hurriedly.  

[Espada Akira Harribel]

*I wake up shaking my head frantically then I start to calm down and rub my left eye before I look around seeing a lot of Shikakus' standing there*"Kurayami -kun why are there so many of you?And what in the world made me wake up like that a few seconds ago?"*I asked still a lil panicky*  

[Captain Taka]

"Worry not," one Shikaku said, raising his hand up as high as his chest with his palm facing her, "it was just a special tea that we brewed that woke you up. And to answer your first question, we are all his clones. You should remember this ability well, seeing as how you have fought it first-hand yourself."  

[Espada Akira Harribel]

"Oh I see....wait why did you all make tea to wake me up?"*I asked still breathing in a panicky breath*  

[Captain Taka]

"Well, it was probably the healthiest way to wake you," one of the other clones said  

[Espada Akira Harribel]

"B-but why though?"*Ask a little clueless*  

[Captain Taka]

"The usual, had to make sure you didn't die in my office, since that hollow hit you in a sensitive spot" the Shikaku that had made the tea said plainly.
