As Zaraki slowly came awake the first thing his eyes searched for was the young man, Kadaj, but the chair he had been sleeping in was empty. With a sigh, he reached for the bed controls to raise the head into a more comfortable position. He had been hoping to at least try to get the young man to talk to him because Kadaj looked like he really needed someone. Zaraki knew he may not be the right person for the job because of his past with Sephiroth and Itachi, but he felt a strange need to help Kadaj.
The door to his room clicked drawing his attention. As the door opened he let a smile pull at the corner of his mouth when he saw Sara. She looked a little worse for wear with bandages still covering parts of her body from the injuries inflicted by Ulquiorra. She slowly walked across the room and sat in the stuffed chair Kadaj had vacated sometime during his nap.
"How are your injuries?"
She smiled at the inquiry, "I assure you I feel much better than you."
Zaraki chuckled at her sweetly spoken statement.
"Seriously, I may need a week more before I can bodyguard for you again."
"What about information gathering?" He asked, determination now coloring his mood.
"Depends on the information." She answered as she cocked her head to the side a bit.
"Sephiroth is in this hospital along with Inutaicho. I need to know what's going on with both of them."
Sara nodded her head, "I can do that. When would you like a report?"
"As soon as you can." Zaraki answered. It was time he tried to make amends for his failure concerning Sephiroth and his brothers. Perhaps in doing so he may make it into the Yokai Lord's good graces. His mind shifted back to Kadaj. What he truly wanted was to see the darkness in that boys eyes lifted. To see him happy and smiling. Dropping his head to the pillow he cursed his wondering mind. What the hell was he thinking?
*******************************************************************************************************************
Unohana stood beside Sephiroth's bed, her long hair braided and hanging over her shoulder. "I'm sorry, but I can not authorize a transfer at this time. Please remain patient until your body heals a bit more."
"Than I want someone else." Sephiroth snapped
The doctor's smile did change one bit, but Sephiroth suddenly felt as if she would wrap her hands around his throat. "I'm very sorry, Sephiroth, but are you questioning my ability to take care of you?"
He actually felt his body push further into the bed and let out a squeaked "No." Clearing his throat he forced his voice to work normally, "No doctor, I just do not want to be in this hospital anymore."
The deadly aura lifted, allowing him to release the breath he had been holding.
"I understand, but you need to heal. Would it put you at ease if I told you no one will tend to you other than myself and the two nurses I have brought with me?"
Unohana watched the mixture of emotions cross the man's face. When he nodded his acceptance, she quickly went over what she had planned for his treatment and then she introduced her nurses. Leaving the room, Unohana felt a frown pull on her mouth. There was something off about the young man. Weaving through the halls she walked into Tsunade's office. The blonde sat behind her desk, head back, feet on the desk with a half empty bottle of clear alcohol sitting on the surface. As she walked further in, Unohana noticed another empty bottle in the trash. "Is that not against policy?"
Tsunade cracked her eye open to look at her. Then she smiled and dropped her legs off the desk, "I don't have patients and I happen to both own and run this fine establishment."
Unohana chuckled as she sat down at the desk, "I saw the patient."
Tsunade hissed as she poured herself another drink, "That brat is pissing me off."
She threw back the shot and slammed the glass onto the desk, "I have other patients who are far more dramatic, but to order me out of a room in my own hospital."
She poured herself another shot and drank it.
"Lady Tsunade." The blonde looked at her through narrow eyes as she wrapped her hand around the bottle. "I fear the situation may be more complicated than a stubborn young man."
Tsunade's brows furrowed as she stared at Unohana in confusion.
"I'm not sure what it is, but it's like there is something else wrong. I get an uneasy feeling from his eyes. Much like someone who has been possessed or even something in the mind that has been altered, broken."
Tsunade cursed as she began searching her desk, "How could I have forgotten."
Unohana wanted to say it was most likely the booze that caused the memory loss, but she kept wisely silent. Unlike her, Tsunade's temper was not easily contained; more so when she was drinking. Just as Unohana was about to ask what it was the blonde was looking for, Tsunade tossed a folder at her. She eyed the blonde suspiciously, then opened the folder. Her heart slammed against her ribs, "An Uchiha?"
"Yep." Tsunade said as she grabbed her bottle and closed it.
"It is possible the Uchiha may have done something."
"It is more than possible." Tsunade agreed as she stood, "Come with me."
Unohana stood, "Where to?"
"To someone who may be able to help us understand what is going on and how to treat Sephiroth."
*******************************************************************************************************************
He was screaming but no sound came out. The Yokai Lord had his brothers and he couldn't move to take them back. With one last demand of his body, Sephiroth broke free of his restraints and started after his brothers. White fur obscured his vision. Looking up he saw a snarling canine face with Sesshomaru's demon markings. He tried to speak, but fear crippled him as a mouthful of teeth descended.
Sephiroth jerked awake and looked around the room in panic. Closing his eyes when he realized he was in the hospital still. Running his hands down his face he slowed his rapid breath. A commotion in the hallway drew his attention. He quickly looked around the room, but his ever present brothers were not here. He started to sit up to grab the phone when his door was jerked open. Eyes wide and heart thundering, Sephiroth stared at an obviously angry Sesshomaru.
"What is going on?" Sesshomaru barked at him bringing forward his nightmare, "I've been told you will not allow me to visit."
"I don't want to see you." Sephiroth gasped out through each panicked breath. His voice shook as he said, "Leave."
Sesshomaru felt his heart skip a beat at Sephiroth's words but the unmistakable scent of fear calmed his raging demon. The fear from the last time he saw him was intensified, the scent nearly ten times as potent. Why was Sephiroth so afraid of him?
"Leave," Sephiroth said louder than before, "I never want to see you again!"
Sesshomaru flinched as the last of Sephiroth's words were screamed at him. Kadaj rushed to Sephiroth's side trying to calm him, but Sephiroth kept raging on. "You can't have them" and "I never want to see you again," Yelled louder with every time he repeated those words.
Every word sliced his heart, tearing open wounds only the man in the bed could create. With a pathetic whimper his demon tucked tail and burrowed deep inside him. He said nothing, just curtly bowed and left the room. His mate had rejected him. What should he do now? He placed one foot in front of the other with no real direction. He felt hollow, numb, like a void had appeared within him.

Yazoo walked into the hospital to take his shift with his brother when he saw Sesshomaru walking through the reception area. He was about to wave when he felt an overpowering feeling of despair. Dead eyes didn't even see him as the demon who was his half brother walked to the door. There was nothing. It was like a black hole before his eyes. Grinding his teeth, Yazoo stormed into the hospital. Stepping off the elevator, Yazoo went straight for his brother's room, but Kadaj stopped him before entering. "Sephiroth's asleep."
"What did he do?" Kadaj's eyes turned confused, "I saw Sesshomaru. He looked dead. All the life was gone. What happened?"
Kadaj's eyes grew sad, "He won't see him. He refuses."
Yazoo reached for the handle of the door, but Kadaj stopped him, "Please give him time. We'll get him to come around."
"You know that every second Sephiroth refuses to accept this, he is hurting Sesshomaru, us and himself."
"We can fix this. Please don't say anything until he heals a bit more."
"Fine." Yazoo snapped as he jerked the door open. A powerful and oppressive aura of fear nearly choked him. His brother lay on the bed. He appeared to be asleep, but he was shaking badly.
"They sedated him again." Kadaj said quietly.
"How much more can he take before this destroys him?" Yazoo asked as he turned to look at Kadaj, "Something needs to be done."
Kadaj lowered his head, his bangs sliding over his eyes. Yazoo wanted to be mad at Kadaj, but he couldn't. His brother was only doing what he thought was best. Wrapping his arms around Kadaj he whispered, "Just think on it. I know you can fix this."
*******************************************************************************************************************
Unohana frowned as they entered what appeared to be a long term care section of the hospital. They passed room after room of the elderly or the terminal. Her hospital did not have such a ward, why would Tsunade?
Tsunade caught Dr. Unohana's strange look. Smiling gently she softly said, "Most of the people here do not have family or insurance. I couldn't in good conscience leave them to suffer."
"It must be costly." Unohana mused.
Tsunade's eyes turned sad. "It is. I only wish I could do this for more people, but even I can not pay for them all."
Unohana nodded in silence as they passed another room. Could she do this? Could she take on a few people? How could she choose between the nearly infinite list of suffering?
She was pulled from her inner turmoil when Tsunade stopped at a door and knocked, and there was a softly spoken, "Enter."
Pushing the door open, Tsunade motioned for her to enter. Sitting at a table with a book open before him was a dark-haired man with bandages over his eyes. Unohana watched him pull his hand away from the pages of braille. Tsunade shut the door before walking up to the man. "Good day Madara."
"And to you Lady Tsunade." He answered with a slight bow of his head. Then he turned his head in her direction, "Please, come in."
He held a hand up and waved them over.
"Madara, may I introduce Dr. Retsu Unohana," He inclined his head to her, "Doctor, I introduce Madara Uchiha."
Her eyes widened upon hearing the name, "But..."
She was completely speechless. Everyone in the city knew that name. The name of the Uchiha who had been brutally murdered during an internal hostel takeover.
Madara chuckled, "As you can see, I am very much alive."
Unohana gently ran her hands over her doctor's coat to calm herself. "May I ask why you are here?"
Tsunade snorted but Madara let out another amused chuckle, "I am in hiding because I would rather continue living. That nephew of mine is one malicious man."
"About that..." Tsunade whispered. Madara turned to Tsunade with a questioning tilt of his head. She quickly relayed the recent events. The war between gangs, the kidnapping, Itachi's demise and finally their problem with Sephiroth."
"Damn that boy." Madara sighed as he leaned back in his chair. "I guess you have come for advice."
Tsunade gave an affirmative noise.
"Anything would be most helpful." Unohana added.
"I'm sorry ladies, but I can not help. Itachi made sure to eliminate any possibility of my interference. I was lucky to live through the encounter with him, but without my eyes I have no way to counter his control of the man."
"Is there anything we can do?" Unohana asked.
"I wish I knew." Madara sighed as he rubbed the bandages over his eyes, "Maybe there could be something in the records on the Uchiha compound." He lowered his hands, "Itachi's little brother might be able to help get the records, but he never developed the sharingan so he will not be able to counter his brother's ability."
*******************************************************************************************************************
Sesshomaru sat at the desk in Byakuya's guest house, the light from the laptop illuminating the room. Leaning back in the chair he stared at the ceiling. He had shown up at Byakuya's home hours ago and asked to stay, claiming Byakuya's home was closer to the hospital, but the look on his friend's face showed his doubt in Sesshomaru's excuse. Byakuya, being a good friend, kept quiet and agreed to let him stay.
He knew it wouldn't be long before people began to hear about what had happened with Sephiroth and himself and he did not want to talk about it. Their looks of sympathy over his father's injuries and Sephiroth's abduction were already on his nerves.
The room darkened as his laptop went to sleep. With a sigh he went to his bed and laid down. He felt so tired but sleep would not come easily. He had work he needed to do but he just didn't feel up to staring at the computer at this moment. Closing his eyes he decided he would work on the reports later.
*******************************************************************************************************************
Sara walked down the hallway away from the room where Madara was staying. It was not often she felt surprise, but hearing the previous Akatsuki lord was alive was a bit startling. Everyone knew Itachi had been suspected of taking his uncle's life. The news coverage over the gang war that left the city in shambles at the time were more than enough evidence for the people in the seedier under-layer of the city. So to find out the man was alive and hiding? Sara shivered.
"Excuse me, but this section is off limits to visitors."
Sara turned towards the sweet sounding voice, thankful to the woman for ripping her out of her thoughts. "I apologize, but I'm lost. My guide seems to have forgotten about me and I dearly needed to use the restroom."
"Are you related to a patient?" Sara could hear the doubt in the woman's voice.
"Yes. Kenpachi Zaraki." Sara answered as sweetly as possible.
"Oh." The nurse said with a startled tone, "He is not in this ward. I can lead you to his room. There is a restroom there as well."
"That would be very helpful. Thank you." She answered with a smile, and then reached out with her hand. The nurse gladly took it and told her co-workers she would be back. It didn't take long for her to get back to Zaraki's room.
She entered and could hear the big man's even breathing. Walking to the chair she sat down to wait for him to wake. As she sat in the quiet room, Sara's mind began to drift. Even with Itachi gone there were still lingering reminders of his destructive reign. Would they ever be rid of that man's memory?
*******************************************************************************************************************
Tsunade snarled as she hung up her phone. That was the third time she tried to reach Sesshomaru, but his cell phone went straight to voice-mail.
"I'm guessing he does not wish to be disturbed." Unohana gave a frustrated smile.
"Honestly I do not blame him." Tsunade whispered as she began scrolling through her phone list, "I'll see if Inuyasha can help."
*******************************************************************************************************************
Inuyasha was on his way home when his phone rang. Miroku answered it for him and turned on the speaker phone.
"Inuyasha, it's Tsunade."
"Hello doctor. Is everything okay?" He asked with a frown.
"Everyone is doing fine but we have a bit of a situation with Sephiroth." It didn't take her long to relay the information.
"I'll go talk to Sasuke and have him call you, but if what this contact is saying is true, he may not be much help."
"Anything will be of value, no matter how small."
After ending the call Inuyasha turned his car around.
"You're not going to call him." Miroku said as he put Inuyasha's phone away.
"I needed an excuse to check on him." Inuyasha answered.
*******************************************************************************************************************
Inutaicho slowly regained consciousness. His body hurt but he knew some of it was phantom pain from Kimimaro. Opening his eyes he turned to see his wife sitting in a chair between him and his mate. She looked rough; like she hadn't been home in days.
"Hey." His voice cracked from his dry painful throat.
Her head snapped up then she reached for a plastic water bottle. Helping him up, she held the bottle while he sipped from the straw. "How long?"
"You've only been out a day. Tsunade says you're healing quickly. Even Kimimaro is doing good." She looked to his mate, "He hasn't woken yet. Apparently he had a bad reaction to the drugs, but she expects him to come out of it soon."
His wife was wringing her hands as she kept her gaze down. He had never in his life seen her so nervous and subdued. Reaching out he grabbed her hand just as a teardrop hit the back of his.
"I could have lost you." She said while wrapping his hand in hers, "I was so scared."
"I'm sorry."
She shook her head.
"How is everyone else?"
"You, Kimimaro and Sephiroth were the only ones that had life threatening injuries." She answered but the way she squeezed his hand told him there was more.
"Inukimi."
She looked up with such sadness in her eyes, "Sephiroth has rejected our son."
Inutaicho felt like his heart had been ripped from his chest. He thanked the gods Kimimaro was unconscious because that was something he didn't want his mate to feel.
"How is Sesshomaru?"
Inukimi shook her head as tears flowed from her eyes. Inutaicho pulled her into his arms as he mourned for his son. How long would he last? He was powerful, maybe they could get him through it before he faded too far.
