"Thanks" Naruto replied with a smirk. Staring at the sleeping Ichigo he asked, "So what happened while I had my adventures?" Naruto sounded jealous, Ichigo was sleeping soundly and with a serene smile. While he had been suffering Ichigo had been relaxing with debatedly the only sane girl in the Seireitei.
Unohana kept her gentle but powerful smile on, staring at Naruto with her large blue eyes. "Well...it's a little bit of a long story. Are you sure you wish to hear it?"
The arrancar shrugged, "Go ahead, not like I could do anything to stop you if I didn't wanna."
The giantess giggled a little bit, "You might want to adopt some better manners for the moment. Remember currently we're little more than strangers." Unohana had her powerful smile on so Naruto felt chills as she said this, "So-rry!"
Yet again the captain giggled, "It's okay, now for the story......"
---------------------------------------
-Yesterday-
Hinamori exited Captain Unohana's office, clearly hiding something but the Captain didn't stop her. On her desk was Ichigo who seemed to be in an angered worried state. "Come on Unohana! She has Naruto!"
Unohana shook her head, her expression neutral and her voice firm. "No, I know she has the arrancar, I could sense him, but Hinamori won't harm him. I can guarantee that."
Ichigo calmed down slightly but still showed evident signs of anger, "That may be but you can't know for certain! Save him to be sure!"
Once more, Unohana shook her head. " No, that look in Hinamori's eyes.....it was the same as when she looked at Aizen. She won't harm him."
Feeling all his rage and worry melt away Ichigo fell silent, he had heard all about it from various Shinigami. Hinamori more or less worshipped Aizen in every way, she was obviously in love with him to an extreme degree. That was why his betrayal devastated her so much, her entire world had left her, leaving her a mentally exhausted shell of herself.
Sensing Ichigo's calm Unohana continued, "She may still be a tad unstable but that arrancar may be able to set her right once more. Both he and you are a lot like Aizen, not the real Aizen, the one we all believed to be real. A kind selfless man who had courage beyond belief. Although his brains did go farther than you twos."
A red X appeared on Ichigo's temple as he glared up at Unohana, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Not even registering the Shinigami as a threat Unohana merely let out a kind warm laugh, "Relax Kurosaki. I am merely playing with you." The smile she wore slowly became nostalgic. "Although I really do believe that Naruto will be able to help her, even if only a little."
Ichigo fell silent, he didn't know Hinamori all that well but he did feel extrodinarily sad for her. If Naruto could ease that even if by a little it would be wonderful. "Alright....I trust you."
Unohana shook her head, " Don't trust me, trust her."
"Alright."
With her index finger Unohana gently stroked Ichigo on the head, as one would a pet. " Are you unharmed? Do you require medical attention?"
As the thought popped into his mind Ichigo felt all of the weariness and overall pain from the past few days. Through pure adrenaline he had ignored and blocked out everything until it came all at one in a flood of exhaustion.
Losing the strength in his legs Ichigo collapsed on the desk. Unohana laughed slightly, "I suppose that is a yes." Finishing her sentence Unohana charged her energy into her hand and held it above Ichigo's shrunken body, healing him.

-Today-
"And he fell asleep shortly after I started and has been out ever since." Unohana finished.
Naruto frowned as he looked at the peaceful Ichigo, "I've worshipped feet, fought, and went through a dramatic personality change and all he's been through is getting fixed up!?"
"Yes that is correct."
Naruto walked to Ichigo's unconcious body, cracking his knuckles. "Why I outta...."
Before he could finish Naruto was held back as Unohana's finger blocked his way, " There will be no battle or conflict within the walls of Fourth Squad. Understand?" Unohana was smiling but it had the same Aizen-y feeling to it, Naruto felt fear and nervousness overwhelm the anger he had. "Yes mam...."
"Good."
"So what now?"
Unohana let her gaze drift around for a bit. "Well.......I have had a long day and you HAVE been essentially becoming an expert on foot worship......"
Naruto began to turn white, "Please tell me you're joking....."
Unohana turned to him, still wearing that smile. "Well....
Unohana kept her gentle but powerful smile on, staring at Naruto with her large blue eyes. "Well...it's a little bit of a long story. Are you sure you wish to hear it?"
