Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sunji smiled and rested back against the wall. Soon, after Suke fell asleep, he got up and walked to a window. He stared out and felt something spill into his head. It was a strange, but malfunctioned distress call. The distress call was from his Zanpakuto, Atsuhiko's Zanpakuto. It was calling out for help, or to signal the problem Atsuhiko was facing. Atsuhiko's Zanpakuto called for distress without Atsuhiko's knowledge, so it was easier to send out distress calls. Atsuhiko wasn't the one to ask for help, but even if his Zanpakuto spirit was kinda like him, it knew when they needed help or not.

'Atsuhiko and I are fine.... Nocella is...wo...ded.... She is unable to fight for.... long... Atsuhiko's blood is on the line... Can't get out... Can't fine exit...'

Sunji knew what to do, but he would not leave. He had to watch over his adopted kids. With a sigh, he whispered something and the sound of the Zanpakuto's voice disappeared, soon whisking itself away. Looking back at Suke, he didn't want to wake him up, so he quietly moved back to his chair and sat back down. He didn't want to spook him, so he waited until he woke up before telling him their progress. He would wait until the time came until he told them.

Sunji had followed after Suke as he heard the scream, soon rushing up after Suke and watching him block Ai's attack at nothing. Watching her calm him down, he watched as their Mother peered up in slight shock and fear, not sure of what had happened. "What has happened?" She said, quickly getting up and rushing to Ai and Suke's side. She looked well rested, but she was probably still a bit tired. She was just worried for the health of her kids.

Their Parents watched them, seemingly unsure of what to do. She was worried about them, and their Father knew that there was nothing they could do until the two days were up and they were sent information on how to get those two backs. Sunji stared in disbelief at her explanation. So it was true, Atushiko was in danger after all. With a light sigh, he decided to confess it. "It seems I know about Atsuhiko's problem as well." He said quietly, looking at the worried look on his Wife's face. "His Zanpakuto... Threw out a distress call to me." He said, remembering the words Atsuhiko's Zanpakuto had told him before it's voice left. He didn't believe Atsuhiko was in that much trouble. He thought they just needed to find the exit. But it seems as though that they were attacked by a Time Rouge on their way to trying to get out. What could they do? Nothing, unless Koko gave them permission to do so.

They watched worriedly. They had to do something, even without the orders of Central 46. Sunji looked at Suke and sighed, nodding lightly. "I'll go see what I could do." He said, soon looking over at Suke and noticed a small puddle of blood behind him. Blinking, his eyes widened to realize Suke's blood had been cut. "Suke... Your hand." He said, holding Suke's hand gently and inspecting how deep the wound cut. It's dangerous to block a sword's blade if you don't have tough skin.

"Of course you didn't do it." Sunji lied for Suke, smiling reassuringly at his daughter as Sakura softly hugged her daughter, still worried about what she was dreaming about. Sunji looked over at Suke and winked a bit, soon sighing lightly as he said it was merely a flesh wound. "Suke got clumsy and slipped coming up the stairs, holding onto the railings." He said, soon excusing him and Suke and lead his adopted son to the bathroom to wash up and clean the wound. Closing the door behind, he soon got ready on the wound, washing around it with light dabs of wet cloth.

Sakura looked at her adopted daughter as she asked what was wrong with her. She sighed gently, soothingly running her hand through the Ai's hair. "Maybe it must have been a vision. When you are very worried about someone, your mind simultaneously travels past the barrier of your own mind, and travel to where the person your worried about is. Knowing that he was abducted by those people, your mind must have found him in the middle of a battle." She explained, soothingly trying to calm Ai down from crying. Meanwhile, Sunji sighed. "Of course it hurts. Holding a Zanpakuto by the blade without practice hurts." He said, soon watching as Suke tried to not scream out. Cleaning the wound up, he sighed as he got out a bottle of medical alcohol and puffs. Dabbing a puff in it, he looked at Suke. "Suke... Suke look at me. I want you to tense up your whole arm and bite on something other than your lip." He said, soon getting a towel and handing it to him. "I'm going to put the alcohol now." He said, soon waiting for Suke to be ready before pressing the alcohol drenched puff on the wound.

Sakura blinked. "Well, he should be just fine. He's a tough boy.." She said confidently with a smile, soon also looking towards the bathroom in slight worry. She hoped Suke was alright too. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Sunji closed his eyes at the strangled groan, gripping on his shoulder, and pained trembling that made him feel a bit guilty, but he had to. It was the only way. Looking at Suke, seeing the sign to go, he nodded, soon dabbing it while pressing it down on the wound. After he had done so, he put everything away and got out some bandages, soon untying them and soon wrapping Suke's hand with it.

Sunji sighed and watched his son try to relax. Going outside without a decent composure would freak them out, and knowing Suke, he wanted to protect Ai. He needed to show his strength to her as much as possible, so he seemed worthy of watching over her. Watching Suke, Sunji stayed next to the door, ready to leave whenever his son was ready to leave.
Outside the bathroom, Sakura smiled, nodding in agreement. She had woken up too late to see what had happened, but she was a bit skeptic of their explanation. Although, knowing what might be the truth, she kept quiet about it. She didn't want to trigger Ai's crying again.
