Sara couldn’t pull her gaze away from Bakuto as he used his spear drill Zanpakutō to completely destroy the Hollow. Sara still wasn’t sure what had happened. She stared at the man as he came over to join them. She didn’t know if she was shocked, impressed, or worried. He had been injured before he had used his Shi Kai. Would those injuries return if his Zanpakutō returned to normal? Sealed State? Katana Form? Was he okay? She didn’t think she would be if she had suddenly destroyed a Hollow that had injured her that badly. She wasn’t sure that she was okay, so she wasn’t sure Bakuto could be.

Sara swore as she turned from Bakuto and quickly headed to the window to look in on the twins. They looked fine and a quick use of her spiritual sense didn’t reveal any more Hollows. She thought that she, Bakuto, and the other woman might have eliminated all the dangers that had been in the area. Well, mostly Bakuto. Sara felt her heart finally start to slow down. She had been running on adrenaline for what felt like forever and now she was exhausted. She slowly returned to her fellow Substitutes as she finally fetched out her Soul Pager. Less time had passed than she had thought. How had it been so short a time.

She smiled shakily as she attempted and failed to laugh lightheartedly, [color=e4a683]“I think you got them all. Thank you for that.[/color] Her frazzled voice gained just a hint of concern, [color=e4a683]“Are you okay Bakuto?”[/color] She should him the Pager, “[color=e4a683]“I’m going to text Hayasegawa or Tatsuha. I think the emergency is over, but you probably need medical attention. You got hurt pretty bad. Do you have a preference for who I text?”[/color]
