Ash smiled as Ed danced in a circle around him. He really liked her company, it soothed him in some odd way. Probably because she reminded him of Simi, who was currently moving around Ash’s body like crazy and making his left eyebrow twitch a little. “No he’s not dead.” He replied to her, smiling softly down at her.
His brow rose as Kimimaro called him a Shinigami, and he smiled with a shake of his head. “I am not a death god, Kimimaro. You are very alive, and you will be well enough soon.” He kept his strides long and even, enough to where he would jostle the young man he held in his arms.
Ash nodded as Ed mused a loud where she’d heard the name, “It is, Ed.” His ever changing gaze shifted back to Kimimaro. “He’s here. Hurt, but he’s here. Apparently he did make it, but I don’t think you meant if he made it to this place.” Finally they reached the front doors of the mansion, and Ash used his powers again to push open the doors. “Ed? Can you get his key and a map from the desk?” He smiled softly down at the young woman, pausing at the foot of the left staircase. He knew where Kimimaro’s room was located at, but without the key he wouldn’t be able to get the other into his room without teleporting.
“Don’t speak, not yet, young one. I’ll answer all your questions once I’ve healed you all that I can.” He looked back down at Kimimaro, smiling a little as he waited on Ed to grab up the map and key.
