"Ugh..." Groaning, Medusa reached out for her head, '...What happened?'

Her senses are still blurry as she tries to remember what happened before she loses consciousness. And a few seconds later, she manages to remember the night she was able to escape from Perseus' descendants, '...Where am I?'

"Oh... So you're awake. How are you feeling?"

A voice of a man suddenly resounded beside her and awakened her forcefull, pushing her vigilance to the maximum. With a quick scan with the surrounding after her senses slightly returned, Medusa jumped away from the source of the voice.

"I wouldn't move so much if I were you." Kisuke put away the smartphone he is using to communicate with his mother. His mother was invited to the wedding ceremony of her former co-worker and a good friend over Hokkaido and she would spend a few days there. She'll probably return the same time Kisuke and Yoruichi returns from Greece.

"Ugh!" Medusa gritted her teeth due to unbearable pain that ran through her body. She slumped down and leaned against the wall. She didn't speak, however, as she inspected the state of her body, 'My wounds... are patched up? I'm wearing different clothes, but my blindfold wasn't touched... Did this man help me? Why? What does he want?... I have to escape first!'

With that in mind, Medusa focuses her mind on her senses to get a complete picture of the surrounding. Confirming the locations of the exits, she chooses to go through the windows where it would lead her directly outside. Her goal is to escape a be alone so she could think of her next actions. Whether the man in front of her has good or bad intentions, she didn't care as she could think about it later after she secures her own safety.

Circulating the pitiful amount of Mana left in her body, Medusa rushed towards the windows with inhuman speed. But just as she is about to hit the windows, the man in the same room as he appeared in front of her instantly, '!'

Medusa wanted to change her direction and maneuver around the man, but with a speed that she can't follow, Medusa was flipped over and landed on the arms of the man doing a 'princess carry' on her.

Medusa, of course, wanted to struggle but was shocked yet again when she found out that she can't move her body aside from her head. She bared her teeth and shouted at Kisuke, "Let go of me!"

Not letting her, Kisuke raised one of his feet and aimed at the windows, "Now, now. Calm down. If I let you crash on the windows, you would only end up embarrassing yourself in addition to a broken nose~." After saying that, Kisuke kicked the windows but his foot was rebounded by an invisible wall.

After demonstrating that, Medusa imagined what would have happened if she indeed crashed to that invisible barrier, '...Why can't I feel that barrier? Are my senses still failing me?' Rechecking her senses and noting that it still isn't as sharp in the past, she snarled at Kisuke again, "Let go of me!"

"Sure, but don't do any moving for now. Your external wounds might be healed but your internals is messed up and would take some time to heal. And give up the idea of escaping. As long as I'm here, you won't be able to escape, especially in the state you're in."

"..."

The woman's reaction didn't change, but Kisuke took her silence as affirmation and he gently laid her down back to the bed before going back to his seat while staring at her confirming some of his deductions.

After a few seconds of silence, Medusa spoke out, "Why did you help me? What do you want?"

Kisuke didn't answer immediately, 'It's normal to be vigilant, but she's too vigilant. It looks like she had her fair shares of trouble. Getting her trust will be harder than I expected so being honest here would be more positive.' "I indeed need something from you, but not in your current state. I want you to heal up first, though that too will take some time so let's move with introducing ourselves first. I'm Kisuke Urahara, a tourist."

Kisuke didn't just spend his time playing with Claire and finishing the disguise equipment, as he also kept practicing the Greek language that he could now speak it fluently. Although learning the Devil's Language is the best, it isn't what he needs now.

"...Ana. My name is Ana." From a distant past in this lifetime, she remembers a certain girl and used her name.

"Ana, is it? How are you feeling?" Kisuke knew that she's lying but didn't point it out.

"...It still hurts when I move around..." Medusa then hesitated for a while before muttering while looking down, "...Thank you..."

Kisuke inadvertently smiled, "You're welcome, but as I said, I need something from you. Anyways, are hungry?"

"Not real-" Medusa was about to refuse when her stomach suddenly growled. Medusa ended up shrinking back with a slight blush on her face.

"Pfft. Haha. How cliched." Kisuke chuckled ignoring her reaction, "Stay here for a while. The barrier will block any energy fluctuation so those who are chasing you won't find you. I'll go get some food."

Medusa didn't say anything and just looked away. Kisuke stood up and went to the door, tapping it several times to create a temporary hole in the barrier before exiting.

With Kisuke gone, Medusa, or Ana, got the time to properly inspect everything. She didn't do so as her focus is entirely on Kisuke's every movement and readying to defend herself in case something happens.

The first thing she did is to enter her inner world where she tried to find her sisters but disappointedly exited as she failed, 'Just how did they...? I'm sure that it isn't a hallucination as the power they temporarily gave me is real.'

After that, she inspected her surroundings properly and noted that her senses can't get through the walls of the room making her feel suffocated. She reached out for the wall beside her bed and hit it gently. From that, she knew that she wouldn't be able to break through it with her current condition.

Medusa then inspected her body next and noticed that her clothes were really changed, including her underwear. Her body is also very clean. Medusa gritted her teeth as she hates the idea of any man seeing and touching her body even if he is her benefactor.

Medusa grabbed the blanket and cover herself with it tightly. Just as she did this, the door opened and a woman and a small girl entered the room while carrying some food. Although her senses were aside from sight were enhanced to limit, she still couldn't see color.

Yoruichi noticed her reaction and the distressed demeanor as she covers herself with a thin blanket, "Nice to meet you, Ana. I'm Yoruichi who took care of everything pertaining to your body. That guy didn't touch you anywhere besides your forehead and in the middle of your chest for inspection."

Yoruichi didn't know how to speak the Greek language so she had Claire translate it for her.

Medusa didn't fully believe her but it put some rest to her emotions.
