Bold - Japanese

POV. Pandora

I was making my way through the forest from my visit to Omega Supreme holding a basket of berries, herbs, and roots so when I get back I won't be questioned on where I went and why I was out of the village for so long, when I came across them. A large group of people both male and female all injured and unconscious. Some had some weird looking hair colors ranging from white to blue to pink. Some of the unconscious people looked to be in their early twenties or thirties, with some looking more stressed than normal people their age.

"Excuse me?" I said shaking one that had short blue hair with cracked glasses "Is anyone awake" trying to find out what happened to them. When none of them answered I placed my placed my basket down and picked up the bottom of my long kimono that dragged behind me and ran towards the village to get some help.

"Excuse me" I say to one of the law enforcer slightly out of breath from running

He replies with a "What can I do you this evening miss"

"I found a large group of people in the forest" his eyes widened in shock at hearing this and immediately called a group together

"Lead the way miss" he said after the group was gathered. I nodded my head and led them through the forest to the group that were thankfully not that far from the village or I would have been questioned on why I was so far out.

I told them that I could take them in since I have more than enough room at the orphanage, since it was just me and my siblings left since all the others were adopted or were able to move out. I headed back to the village, after I got a confirmation that they could stay, to set up a room and futon and gather the medical supplies.

When I got back and opened the door I called out to the others "Jasper Willow Evelyn Imani Cyrus i'm home" I immediately heard the patting of multiple feet against the wooden floor as them came to greet me

"Welcome home" they chorused

I smiled at them before getting down to business "I need all of you guys your help okay"

"Why?" the twins asked together

"Because I found a lot of people injured outside the village and offered to take them in since we have a lot of room here"

"Oh" they all said "Okay"

"Thank you, okay Evelyn I need you to take these to the kitchen and put them away" I say while handing the basket to her "Willow, I need you to gather all the medical herbs and bandages since I need to go set up the rooms" she nodded at this and went at it grumbling about being troublesome even though I knew she was happy to be able to use her medical skills "Imani and Cyrus for you two I need you two go get lots futons" their eyes widened at this but nodded and went to go get them from storage "And you Jasper" I said looking at my younger brother "Will come with me" he nodded his head smiling brightly at me.

We walked to the guests area and we walked in after opening the sliding door. I walked over to the wall that attached to the other guest room and reached for a handle in the wall pulling it back so that the two rooms can become one big one.

"Jasper"

"Yes big sister"

"Can you go get the plastic covering for the futons?"

"Okay big sister" he said happy to be able to help. After he left I grabbed the broom and started sweeping the floor pushing it out the back door. The twins arrived less than five minutes after Jasper went to go get the plastic covering each one carrying a futon with them. I took it from them and placed them in the middle of the room. Both of them left to go get more and I closed the back doors and went to go grab some pillows. I grabbed as many pillows before heading back to the room.

When I made it back to the room and there was some herbs there lining the wall that Willow must have left to go some other supplies. Jasper, who was sitting by the futons waiting for me, looked up at me from where he was sitting fidgeting with his hakama and smiled.

Setting down the pillows I smiled back and said "Come on why don't we put those plastic wrap on these futons"

"Okay big sister" he said "When will they be here"

"They should be here soon since I did not find them too far out"

We both grabbed one plastic sheet and a pillow. We put the pillow on the futon first then put the plastic covering with myself showing Jasper how to do it. The twins brought two more to use before and we did to the same to those futons. Evelyn came in after the twins.

"I'm done" she chirped smiling

"Thank you" I say "Now can you go get some more pillows please"

She nodded. After she left Willow came in with a tray of more medical supplies and a basket of some more herbs

"What types of wounds did they have so I can start mixing herbs" she said

"From what I remember they had bruises, poorly treated wounds, grazes, and also small cuts from running in the forest" I listed what I remembered

She nodded her head and started mixing herbs in different wooden bowls murmuring under her breathe of which herb goes with what to make the remedy. Evelyn came back carrying more pillows. Jasper and I took them and place it to the side with the other pillows. After her the twins came carrying more futons and placed them by the others were Jasper put pillows on and I put the plastic covering on.

Soon a ring came through the house. 'They must be here' I thought before going to open the door and lead them through the house.

"I don't have everything set up'' I said to them

"That alright ma'am" One of the men said

"Didn't expect you to" Another said

"We can help you finish" Another said

"Thank you" I said to them

"No problem little miss"

They came in and laid the them on the futons. Evelyn came in carrying more pillows and left right after putting them with the rest. The twins coming in right after her each carrying more futons and putting it by the others and two men put one person on each right after Jasper put the pillows and I the plastic covering on it. After that the group split up, some went with Imani and cyrus to go get the rest of the futons. While others went with Evelyn to go get the rest of the pillows.

While they went to go do that I with the rest of the men went to the living room and I told them to make themselves comfortable while I went to the kitchen. When I went there I noticed that Jasper did not follow me so I figured he must have stayed to help set up the pillows and plastic coverings. In the kitchen I set out bentos and cloths to keep the bentos together and started making onigiri, a sushi platter, and dangos for them. By the time the other men were done and in the living room with my little sibling. I finished placing everything in the bentos and just needed to wrap them in the cloths.

"Oi, little miss we're done" One of the men called from the living room

"Thank you for your help" I said "Just wait a few more minutes and I will be done"

"No problem" another said "my wife has been nagging me to get out of the house more anyways" The other men laughed and started picking on each other good naturedly.

When I finished wrapping I called out to the others "Jasper Evelyn Willow Imani Cyrus come here and help me please"

"yes big sister/sis" they replied

They came and helped me pass out the bentos each grabbing two and thanking the men for there help. By the time we were done we had made multiple trips from the kitchen to the living room and saw them off from the front door the others were hungry.

"How bout as a thanks we have some dango and chocolate filled taiyaki hm" I said

"Yes" the twins and Evelyn said together happily while the twins pumped a fist in the air and running towards the living with Evelyn on their heels. Willow and Jasper smiled brightly with Willow following the others at a more sedate pace. Jasper grabbed my kimono still smiling brightly at me and we walked together to the kitchen where I grabbed the leftover dangos and the taiyaki I made a few days ago and placed 2 dango sticks that had three each and one taiyaki on a plate and had Jasper hand out the plates one after another after I made each and grabbed one dango stick for myself.

"Thank you for the food" We all said before eating.

" Sis, what do you think happened to them and when are they going to wake up?" Cyrus asked. The others looked up at this questions wanting to know the answer too.

"I do not know, but whatever happened to them is their business and I not want you poking around in it okay?"

"Okay" they all look disappointed some hiding it better than others.

"Well after you finish eating go wash up okay"

"But" the twins instantly started protesting

"No buts" I said

"Okay" they huffed together

I smiled at them and chuckled and said "thank you" with that I left and went to the guest room to check on them and apply the medicine and bandages. I also put the covers on them with the blankets. It took me two and a half hours. Finally, after I finished I cleaned and gathered the herbs and put whatever was leftover of the mixed herbs in the closet in the guest room for tomorrow so that I could have it on hand.

Next, I went to the kitchen to cleaned and store the leftover food and make some ramen noodles with shrimp on top for the others.

When they came back they sat at the table and I sat theirs bowls in front of them. They ate the food while talking about everything and nothing at all. While they were talking I started cleaning the kitchen and packing and preserving the leftover food. I could tell they were curious about the people we had taken in but did not bring it up. After they finished their food they put their bowls in the sink, said their good nights, and went to bed.

It was late by the time I finished cleaning and packing the food away. I went straight to the bath and washed. Taking my time to wash and comb my hair. When I finished my bath I went to bed tired from today's event laying my glasses right next to me.

I fell asleep quickly that night having the feeling of things are going to be hectic with injured people around.
