Summary: Sachiko has a close encounter of the Fourth kind. *BADDM KSSSH!*
Sachiko still wasn't quite sure what to think. After the strange message from her captain about taking Saturday off, only to learn he'd shown up at the Fourth Saturday morning having sustained injuries had left her feeling uneasy. What had he been up to? It certainly wasn't unusual for Renji to end up in the Fourth, but what had he been doing Friday night that would land him there? And why would he have told her specifically to take the day off? She had heard that Muguruma Kensei and Kurosaki Ichigo were laid up in the Fourth as well...what on earth had happened?
She knew better than to approach and ask him directly so soon after the incident, though. One didn't have to know Renji well to know he was close with Ichigo, and with the boy being in a coma, she wasn't about to grind salt into the wounds, as it were. And so she'd carried on as if it was business as usual. Because, for the most part, it was. Renji was a little uptight (and still moving with a slight limp, she noticed), but aside from that, nothing had really changed. She had made her rounds, delivering a few memos to the seated officers, and had stopped at a kiosk on the main road to grab a bite to eat before heading back to the office to catch up on her filing.
Nibbling at her riceball, Sachiko turned a corner to head toward the Admin building, and stopped dead in her tracks when a strange sensation crept over her. What was that? It felt like...
...A Hollow? In Seireitei?? That wasn't possible! If a Hollow had somehow gotten into Seireitei there would have been an alarm or something. There was no way it wouldn't have been noticed!
Forbidding herself to panic and drop her riceball, Sachiko turned quickly, casting her eyes about, trying to figure out where the heavy dense Hollow reiatsu was coming from. She certainly wasn't going to engage a Hollow, but if she could find where it was, she could at least let someone know.
