Day 23: Shift 2, Female Showers
Rangiku followed the nurse almost eagerly. The chance to bathe wasn't something she would pass up. Who knew when she'd have the chance again in this place? Ever since she'd become a shinigami, she'd taken the opportunity to bathe every day whenever she had the chance because it was something she'd never been able to do before.
She stripped off without the slightest trace of embarrassment. She was used to bathing with company in the public baths after all, and this was no different. She frowned as she approched the shower, looking around for the tub in slight confusion. This was only where she washed, right? There must be a big bathtub somewhere close by to soak in. Not just these shower things. A nice relaxing bath was just what she needed right now.
It took her a moment to figure out how the shower actually work, and a few more more moments underneath an icy spray before she managed to get the temperature to a reasonable level.
Once that was done, she sighed, leaning against the wall and tilting her head back against the tiles. There was too much to think about, now that she had the time. People disappearing without warning. First Renji's friend and now Ichigo. The fact that Ichigo had been taken without a single one of them noticing didn't bode well. She'd heard enough of the reports and seen enough of the damage to know that the other shinigami wouldn't have been taken easily. WHo would be next?
With a heavy sigh, she turned, squirting some of the shampoo onto her hand and starting to work it through her hair. It wasn't the best distraction in the world, but it would do until someone else turned up and she could bother them.
