Relieved to see the snow gone and the mist dissipating, Yue felt something akin to horror or panic sweep through her as the dead bodies were slowly revealed to her, one by one. She froze in place, eyes wide as the swept over every dead body, recognizing one here and there. It was gruesome and an absolutely horrifying sight to witness. Squeezing her eyes shut, Yue took a few moments to push the image out of her mind and calm her nerves before venturing back towards Kouta, her eyes anywhere but on the ground. Somehow, she didn't blame the man all that much for killing her clansmen. 

He was kneeling but Yue could still see that he'd taken the brunt of most of the Hollow's and Hayate's attacks. His shoulder was probably the worst hit, wrapped in his kosode but bleeding profusely. She still had reiryoku left in spite of the several medium-level spells she'd used. "Sensei, you're hurt. Let me heal you." Yue's voice was quiet, her mind still in shock over her dead clansmen. 

"Oh, yes," he said in a quiet voice. Due to all the excitement, the pain had subsided. Only when Yue began to heal him had the pain returned. There were other spells considerably less painful, but as this was the only spell Yue knew, the sharp stinging sensation was unavoidable. He was impressed that she'd learned healing Kido so early. She was truly talented in this field and silently hoped she'd pursue it further and not feel so pressured to follow his Dojo or her House's specialties.

Her cooling reiatsu was soothing and he layed down rest properly before they continued. They'd have to be here longer since the Senkaimon had, again, closed before harmful forces could make their way into the Seireitei. "I'm sorry," he grunted. He didn't really know what he was apologizing for but he felt the need to say it. It wasn't often that he was sorry for anything. In fact, this was probably the first time she'd heard him say those words.

As the wound slowly but surely stopped bleeding and closed up a bit, Yue's mind wandered back to the Hollow. Why had such a powerful Hollow ventured into the world of the living and attacked the men? They weren't particularly powerful, not as Kouta was. His apology was unexpected but nonetheless appreciated. "Don't worry about, Sensei, you saved my life. That's actually the reason I came out here. You've saved my life more than once so thank you." 

The healing glow around her hands intensified, increasing the reiatsu transferred into Kouta's body and healing his injuries, once he's got used to the initial feeling. It was quite the task monitoring the flow of reiatsu and minding other variables such as the temperature, though her reiatsu was running low she didn't want him in pain. 

"Are you hurt anywhere else?" "No, I'm fine," he said, but it seemed she wasn't convinced. She ran her hands over his abdomen, letting her reiatsu heal the injury and fade the bruise down to a mere shadow, unnoticeable at best.

He groaned lightly as his body began to register the natural healing process along with Yue's medical skills. Not long after, a Senkaimon appeared a few yards away from them, emerging from it the form of Isao. He wasn't in a Shinigami uniform anymore, but wasn't the least less intimidating than last time. Kouta wasn't even aware of this until Isao's voice boomed over his phyiscal pain. Apparently, his pain was the least of his issues. 

"Explain yourself, Akimoto." He ground out, obviously keeping his temper in check. Isao's steely grey eyes swept over the man's pained form, dismissing him for the moment and settled onto Yue. He made a brief second of eye contact with the girl - a long, agonizing second to Yue - before she ducked her head, avoiding his glare and instead keeping her eyes on her hands still encased in a glow on Kouta's abdomen. It was nearly done healing but as she hadn't finished, he was still probably in a large amount of pain. Despite Isao's reappearance, Yue didn't want to see Kouta in pain and kept up the spell.

"Come along, Yue. Now." Making no move to personally help the man, Isao beckoned Yue to follow him back through the Senkaimon, through where now spilled more men, but this time Gotei Shinigami. It seemed Isao was unwilling to send his own men in a second time lest they be massacred again. A couple of Shinigami pushed Yue away from Kouta, cutting the Kaido off and Isao's hand firmly clasped her upper arm once she was standing again. She couldn't have gone for much longer, as her reiryoku was now completely drained and she started feeling the dizzying, nauseous effects of reiryoku shortage. "Take him to the Yukihiro compound." Isao ordered the men handling Kouta and with one last look and went through the Senkaimon, taking Yue with him. She didn't fight, having no energy; she was physically and mentally exhausted beyond belief and no doubt Kouta was too. At least their ordeal was over. 

Upon arrival, Kouta was taken to the medical ward of the Yukihiro main house as this was the only place emergency healers resided night and day. It was dark out, the moon just recently having taken its place in the inky sky. While Isao was undoubtedly angry, as Yue could tell when he dropped her off into the medical ward as well, she knew he wouldn't let Kouta nor his men die. Soon enough, the medical ward of the main and second family were occupied by surviving Yukihiro men; the rest were laid to rest in the third family's ward, to be buried in the following days to come. Additional healers were requested from the fourth division, and a messenger was quickly dispatched towards the Dojo to inform Akimoto of his son's condition. 

The healers did a pretty good job of healing Kouta and, having been given a private room to himself, he was expected to stay until he'd been healed. Yue didn't know whether he was alright or not, as her room was on the other side of the wing. Isao and the elders had called her in several times, making her recollect everything time and again, yet seemingly they heard nothing.
