In her world, there were very few people she could look up to.
Every ninja knew that they could trust and believe in their kage
and it was her thought that if you couldn't trust in your leader,
you couldn't trust in anyone.
She pressed her back against the wall before allowing her self to slide down. Her ass connecting rather harshly with the wooden floor beneath her, the thick thump echoing through her empty home. Her home felt strangely full today, her sobs echoing off the walls as she curled herself into her knees. Shoulders shaking she continued her heart wrenching symphony, hoping that no one would hear her solo performance.
She knew no one would though, instead of being deep in the heart of the city like everyone else, her home was just inside Konoha's walls. Deep within the forest that surrounded the Nara lands her home sat where the Konoha border was just that, an invisible line drawn through a map. There were no towering walls that kept her locked in like the rest of the city, those were far behind her, tucked close to the shops. She was alone out in her small home, her closest neighbor being that of the Nara family, yet they were still so very far away.
It had taken a larger hit on her then she had initially thought possible. Loosing not only her teammate but her best friend, her lover, her other half. She saw nin's loose their lives everyday, it wasn't an uncommon thing and she knew in her job line her life was on the line as well. Yet loosing him in that way tore her apart, it wasn't how she wanted it to end. In all honesty she would have preferred him being killed then the treason he was branded with by the hokage.
After a few years of basic missions she had been assigned to co-teach a team, although she quickly found it was far from teaching. In reality she was to pose as a regular student, taught privately until this moment when she was assigned a team. She would watch and learn how to work with the team before reporting back on their progress. A simple enough mission really, it was to see how the students were learning, what they needed to change, ext. That was her first thought, it wasn't until she arrived at the training grounds that she began to realize that something was amiss.
She adjusted the small bag on her back as she stuck her head around the last tree finally arriving at the training grounds she had been assigned to. Allowing herself to scan the area she spotted four figures, although at this distance and in their location in the shade it was rather hard to tell whom they were. Placing herself in motion once again Fuyuurei moved towards the figures once again, unsure of what was going to come out of it.
The first she spotted was a white haired man, an all too familiar face to the ghost of a girl. Her thick lashes flickered a few times as she stared at the miniature white fang, her attention soon distracted by a bundle of orange. Shooting around his legs he flung himself from the male towards the female at high speeds, catching the female off guard. A familiar pinkette soon shot out as well catching the orange clad male and throwing him to the ground a scoff echoed through her ears given off by the last of the team. Another familiar face, and she was shocked that he hadn't spilled who she really was. She had seen Sasuke plenty of times when she was with Itachi, so she knew, especially with her looks, that the younger Uchiha had not forgotten her. Gulping nervously she moved forward.
"H-Hello, my name is Fuyuurei, I'm to join your team..." Kakashi stumbled a bit as he moved forward, the female extending her hand for him to take. A rough shake exchanged between the two was enough to pass the information written down on to her new sensei. The bundle of orange she had seen before shot forward again saluting the female his loud voice echoed through the clearing. "The names Naruto Uzumaki! This is Sakura Haruno and the sulking one back there is Sasuke Uchiha." A smile danced on her lips at the way he introduced his teammates, it was obvious his liking to Sakura and his distaste to Sasuke, yet from the way the female was gazing towards the young Uchiha it was just as obvious that she liked him. Sighing she turned towards Kakashi again, raising her brow, "and my sensei?" Stiffening again the male dipped his head apologetically, "I'm your sensei, Kakashi Hatake."
Her hues danced across her new team once again landing on the Uchiha hidden in the shade, his head snapped up feeling her gaze as his hues narrowed. A flash of red lighting up the eyes before failing miserably back into the black abyss. Frowning she let the worried expression stain her face, allowing the pinkette to see the transaction and causing a ripple of hate to form between the two. "So Fuyuurei-san." She blinked drawing her attention away from the male and towards the female that was now speaking. "I have a few questions for you." She swallowed hard, the poison dripping from the female's voice was noticeable enough to silence Naruto and cause Kakashi to shift uneasily. "Why weren't you in school with us? And no clan name? Are you too good to tell us that?"
She shifted the bag on her shoulder allowing the leather strap to shift and cool the spot it had been on before. "I've been taught privately up until this point, my previous sensei does not wish for his name to be spread so that I cannot tell you. As for my clan name I have none, my name should tell you just how generous my mother was." Her arms rose from her sides to cross over her chest, "and as for the question you are to afraid to ask the answer is no. I am not attracted to Sasuke, I had a love that I'm still caught up in." Sakura's demeanor seemed to change after the last bit of information, the female still uneasy about how truthful she was but it seemed to dawn on the female that she was being a bit too harsh.
She felt Kakashi's hand on her shoulder and she dipped her head movi-
A sharp rap on her door pulled her tumbling from her memories, heaving for a minute from the scare she listened as the fist pounded against the door again. "J-Just a minute!" Shaking the female rose to her feet her hands trembling as they attempted to scrub any sign of her tears from her face. Letting her hand wrap around the cool metal of her door handle she spun it quickly opening the door to a face she hadn't seen before. Catching her breath quickly in her throat she let her hues scan over the creature, erhm, male standing in her doorway. Pale blue skin stretched tight against his face, deep gill like gashes under his eyes and of course his golden hues boring down into her. She released the breath she had held allowing her heart to begin it's calming process, although she could tell from it's rapid beating that it was still riddled with fear.
"M-May I help you?" His hues narrowed as they began to move over her body, she suddenly felt very self conscious about her dressing choice for that day. Shifting her hands to cross over her chest she cleared her throat, "May I help you?" Golden orbs snapped back to her face as his lips parted in a toothy grin, "I'm sorry, I was separated from my comrade and I've been hurt badly," he motioned to his leg and she let a hiss pass her lips. A large chunk was taken from the males blue pants, through his coarse skin and seemingly to the bone. She took a fumbling step backwards as he continued. "I don't have the energy to make it much farther, may I rest here?" She nodded hastily before dipping under the man's shoulder motioning for him to put as much weight as he needed on her.
The man chuckled lightly before dropping onto the female, her small legs wobbling as she attempted to carry the man to her bedroom. He was trying to help, she could tell with every step they took with his good leg he tried to stretch as far as he could allowing the female to take as few steps as possible. She could feel the sweat beads beginning to form not only on her forehead but on her back and chest as she muscled the male back to her room. He towered over her so much that she felt like a child next to the male. If he hadn't been injured she was sure she would have fled from him.
Finally reaching her room the female helped him lower his body onto her bed, while it had been a large bed for her she suddenly felt so bad for him to be stuck on a small bed. His feet hung over the edge just slightly her body now scrambling to fix that problem. Digging her nails into a small chest she pulled it across her wooden floor resting it by the edge of the bed, when it was positioned correctly she dove into said chest removing the surplus of blankets it held inside. Folding a few carefully and resting them on top of the wood the males feet finally rested on something soft instead of dangling there.
Her next mission was to remove the male's clothing, that held the problem, he had sprung a fever from the wound which she was still surprised with the severity. Closing her glass hues she swallowed hard her voice barely reaching the male. "I-I need to take off your pants..." A loud rumbling laugh echoed through her small room causing the female to jump a few inches. "Already going there eh?" The girls face turned a dark red as she fumbled with her hands, moving to defend herself, "n-no! I-I just c-cant treat the w-wound if-" The male's blue hand rose as he motioned for her to stop. "It's alright sekushii, it was just a joke."
Her face took a darker tone as she fumbled again her hands dancing at his sandals pulling the white stocking down to remove the whole shoe. Slowly slipping it off his foot she couldn't help but stare at the painted nails, a thick black paint splattered on the nail haphazardly cause a smile to dance onto her lips. Removing the other shoe she noted the same thing on that foot as well, she would have to ask the male if he wanted her to fix the paint, she was a female she could do a better job. Smiling the female trailed her hands up the males calf, stopping short in the thigh near the wound. Her smile quickly faded as her clear hues got a better look at the damage, she would have to hurry before the wound began to infect its self. Slipping her darkened fingers into the hemline she slid the soft material over his hips guiding it slowly down and around the mauled section of his leg. She listened to the small grunt from the male as the cloth peeled itself away from the area pulling itself out of the wound as well. Reaching his feet the female pulled the bundled cloth off and set it aside, she would attempt to patch it once he was asleep.
Taking a deep breath the female moved to her side table, opening the top drawer she began removing a few items, the first a hair tie in which she quickly put to use wrapping around her locks. The next a large syringe followed by a vial filled with clear liquid. She watched the male's face curiously as she filled the syringe, his face was stone and yet she knew he was a bit apprehensive. "This is a pain killer, it will help you sleep as well." She giggled before placing the tip of the needle by his skin. Pressing softly she let the needle slide into the vein and pressed down, allowing the burning liquid access to his blood stream. The effects took quickly and within minutes the male was asleep and she could continue with the healing process.
Shifting her body to kneel next to his leg she drew the chakra from her body focusing the green glow to her hands and allowing the chakra to spark softly. With the energy now flowing freely to her hands, and the small swirl around them began she brought them down against his skin her hues opening slightly a small glow catching behind her eyes. She could see everything that was wrong with the males leg, although the damage still confused her, it was almost as if someone had taken claws to his leg and dug in until the bone peered through. Furrowing her brows she began first on repairing most of the major damage. She had to reconnect veins first, to stop the bleeding and continue the blood flow down to the rest of his leg, that way he wouldn't loose use of the appendage.
It took moments for the female to achieve her goal and the muscle weaving came next, an easy job to most practiced nins, a blink of an eye for the female. Cleaning out the mass of dead tissue and dirt was next her chakra eating the debris away in minutes. She knew with how much it collected she would get sick later, purge the unnecessary collection from her body, and allow her own to heal slowly. Focusing on the last bit remaining she sealed the skin, allowing her hands to now freely roam over the rest of his body checking for any other abnormalities. His bones seemed fine as well as the rest of his muscle, moving to his chest she pulled back slightly, letting her chakra hover over his shirt instead of shredding it away. With her check completely she pulled the chakra back into herself. Locking the green glow deep inside of her before exhaustion tickled her nose.
Standing the female retrieved another blanket, made from sheep's wool the blanket was not only thick but would keep the male warm from the temperature drop that would happen later that night. Draping the large blanket around the male for once she was happy she had continued to weave the blanket, although it was a ridiculous size for her it covered the male just right. Nodding her head she pulled the syringe out once again, putting another dose into the needle she allowed it to enter the man's system once more. With the second dose he would sleep through the night and allow his body to heal.
