— [ ♙ ] There had been a rather nasty storm, which made Mukuro stay inside of her home. She sat crisscrossed on her couch, a cup of coffee in her rather chilly hands as she looked outside the window. Streaks of raindrop slide down the slick surface of the window, occasionally there were strikes of lightning, only to be followed by thunder. With all this going on, it reminded her of when all the children spoke about what caused harsh storms such as this, despite knowing that it was actually science.
The devil beating his wife. God making a strike. God crying. The list was never ending, and like when she was younger, she counted each second that passed, telling how far away the lightning was.
1 Mississippi...2 Mississippi...3 Mississippi...
These actions continued through out the storm, until finally it happened. Granted that the power had been surging a little, suddenly all lights went out, followed by lightning striking, only lighting the room momentarily. Startled, Mukuro quickly stood, setting her glass down and maneuvered her way to the closet, son pulling out candles to light around the house, along with flashlights she had. The room was dimly lit and silent, except for the now light and easy pitter-patter of rain. It seemed that the storm had subsided for now.
About to sit back down, she heard the faint whimper, blinking her lilac orbs. Was that…a voice? Standing back up, she didn’t move a single muscle, and even stopped her breathing. Her ears detected it once more, confirming her suspicions. Slowly she made long strides to her front door, looking through the peep hole. She couldn’t see anything. Walking over to her counter she grabbed a flashlight, soon opening the door. What she saw, was nothing she could have ever expected.
The door swung open with great force, eyes wide as she saw the pool of blood. “I-Ishimaru-san!” Yes, she knew the victim who was lying on the ground. He was famous around the campus for being a hustler for the rules. Of course, she had never been one of his problems, but she saw him around often. He ever returned a book she had dropped once. Despite the blood on her welcome mat and floor boards, she bent down and quickly brought him inside. Having a military background really came in handy sometimes.
After reaching the bathroom she brought all the light in here, along with turning the water on and began to tend to the open wound on his head. She worked quickly, obviously in a hurry to help him. She had all the medical supplies, just like she did when she was on the battlefield. People always got injured, and she had her fair share of being forced to help a member sew up an injury or personally remove a bullet. It had been a gruesome experience, but it shaped her to be who she was, and came in handy for time like now.
“Ishimaru-san, please bear with the pain. I promise to do what I can. I at least want you in a stable condition. Who did this to you?”
