Tasting the Wind
Stained in black soot and laying motionless on the gurney Jushiro was carried swiftly into Fourth. Retsu stared down at her charge with a sick mix of worry and dread. He wasn’t coughing, that wasn’t good but by some grace he was still breathing faintly. She held onto that.
Isane and four other healers met her at the door of the emergency room. He was pushed through the and smoothly pulled over onto the slick white table. A steady pulse of healing kidou already wrapping around his body.
“You,” she pointed to one of lesser healers as she came in, “Heal his burns. Isane,” the young girl turned to her, “We need to get the poison out of his lungs. I need you to cast a dull healing chant on them while I try to extract it,”
“Yes ma’am” Isane nodded and extended both hands over his chest. Her hands glowing a soft yellow green as the chant pulsed through them. But he gasped his eyes snapping wide open, and a breath later he was choking.
“Stop!” Retsu said, “Lift him up!”
He was hoisted to a sitting position, still choking and gasping. Restu placed a hand on his brow and one over his chest. She muttered a few words and a blue light enveloped him. He froze his eyes wide. His body convulsed and a small trickle of blood pooled from his mouth. Retsu muttered a curse and did it again. His face was scrunched up in pain as another, more violent pulse of blue shot through him.
Ukitake gripped Retsu’s hands harshly when another, much smaller trickle of blood pumped out.
“Stop…” he gasped, his knuckles white and his voice hoarse from pain.
“One more time,” Retsu replied, her eyes soft, “Just one more,”
The pulse ripped through him again. His body tore with a vicious seizure, and he gritted his teeth in a desperate attempt to stop himself from crying out, and she could feel the harsh hold he held over his reiatsu as he tried to rake it back in. He gagged, more blood spluttered from his mouth, speckled with black and yellow.
“Damn,” she wrenched her hand free from his grasp, and pressed it next to the other on his chest, “Hold him still,”
“But…” Isane said looking worriedly at the state of Ukitake, hissing breathless pants through grit teeth, and eyes squeezed tight shut, “Captain… he could die,”
“And if we don’t get that soot and poison out of his lungs, he will die,” Retsu said in a tone that wasn’t snapping but came damn near close. She gave her lieutenant a hard look, “Now hold him down,”
“Yes ma’am” she grabbed his shoulders and held him steady with a strong kidou charm, “You three!” she pointed at the remaining healers, “Cast a basic support charm around mine,” It was the best she could do under the circumstances, and she could only hope it would be enough to hold him. The taste of sea air already drifted in from the wind. The three healers moved in and cast the purple spells quickly.
Retsu pressed both hands down firmly, a look of determination set on her features. Isane could feel the pressure building in those hands, the glow growing, and without pause it slammed into Ukitake.
He screamed.
The sudden flair of reiatsu tore through Isane’s arms as she desperately hanged onto her kidou spell. Waves of green energy sputtered and ran up and down her body. Vaguely she realized that two of the healers had fainted. Through blurred vision she spared a glance at her Captain. Retsu still pumped the blue spell through him. Green sparks crackled around her, her hair flaring out in the combined powers. The blue energy tore through him, convulsed his body. Ukitake’s back arched in pain.
“Get his head down!” she heard above the roar of power.
Isane opened her mouth to yell at a subordinate but the full force of power had her completely speechless. She couldn't give the order! Her hands still shook with the effort to keep the reiatsu contained but it wasn't working-
A familiar energy pressed in, and moments later two scarred hands grabbed his head and forced it down harshly. The golden reiatsu pushed down against the green, forcing the raging seawaters to calm. It was working but she wasn't sure for how long with the blue spell still tearing through him.
Isane’s hands were burning now. Sweat poured down her face.
“Captain!” she screamed as a warning before the spell ripped loose.
Ukitake screamed again. The force of power slammed her backwards. She hit the opposite wall with a sickening wet crack, and crumpled to the floor.

The news quickly spread through the Seireitei. A sense of panic and fear settled on the soul reapers, and many of them steadily headed to fourth division where they knew the Captain would be taken. It was natural and perfectly normal for them to react this way. Ukitake was as much a Captain as a teacher, a Senpai. Captains and subordinates a like could taste the worry and fear on the wind.
Nanao made her way back to the division. She had been in the library when she’d heard the troubling news that Captain Ukitake had been in a fire, and was now being treated at the fourth division. She’d felt the cold knife of shock slice through her but kept her composure, thanked the messenger and had quickly made her way back to the office. It was late, and if she knew her Captain he would already be at Ukitake’s side.
Someone had to be at the division, and she would happily stand in for her Captain under the circumstances.
The sun was just rising when she stepped into the office. The cool morning air blowing past her and into the room as she opened the door. She paused, and turned her head to look at the inner office as the door slid shut. The place reeked of sake, that wasn’t new nor was the ever present reiatsu of her Captain. It wasn’t new but it was strange.
“Captain?” she called out, curiosity lacing her words.
There was no answer.
She stepped into the side room, a place her Captain frequented when he was drinking, and to her surprise found him standing by the window. His hat was removed and his much loved kimono was draped over the futon along with his haori. An empty bottle of sake lay by his feet.
“Sir?” she tried again but there was no answer. She stepped further into the room, discretely looking for more sake bottles but finding none. He had yet to even acknowledge her, “What are you doing here?” she asked.
“Looking out the window,” he said in a dry tone.
“I can see that, sir” she said carefully, hesitated and then; “Captain Ukitake was in an accident”
A heavy silence followed, it was drenched in a stubborn and almost obstinate reiatsu. There was the briefest fluctuation in his energy and he turned his head gently to her, the starlight capturing his profile perfectly.
“I heard…”
She waited.
“Will you not go to him?” she ventured.
The sun was rising but it felt as if the room had darkened. As if the shadows were steadily expanding to swallow and consume all light. They felt alive, running up the walls, and pilfering the sunlight away. The steady pressure of energy was building.
“No,” he said simply and turned back to the sky.
For the second time that day she felt on the brink of falling, on the edge of screaming. This wasn’t right. This wasn’t how it was suppose to go! They were friends! Old friends, dear friends and brothers. This wasn’t supposed to happen!
But it was happening, it was unfolding before her, and never in all her years has she ever felt this helpless.
With a final worried glance at her Captain, Nanao left, leaving him to his thoughts. She closed the door behind her and as she did the reiatsu subtly shifted. It was an emotion she’d never felt with her Captain and one she couldn’t pin point at the precise moment.
Later, when she was working at her table, and heard the voices of Shinnigami as they made their way to the fourth division, she would recall the emotion with perfect clarity because it was all that could be felt through the whole Seireitei.
The wind tasted of despair.
