"Get off of me!" Kylie shrieked in outrage at the foriegn man carefully cradling her baby sister in his large hands and cooing at the infant as he sat on her legs.
The big guy with the scar sat on the floor a few feet away with the elderly guy in the green shirt, both of them watching in amusement as she hissed, smacked, and pushed again Apachai's side in an effort to get him off of her legs as Shigure led Akisame into the room by one hand while he slipped his free hand into his shirt sleeve and tugged it up into place around his shoulder.
"Is this the person that you want me to patch up?" The jujutsu master asked as he walked over to where Kylie lay on the floor, causing her to pause her struggling to look up at him curiously as the dark haired woman next to him nodded her head and let go of his hand.
Akisame looked down at the girl partially pinned under Apachai, curiously. Wondering what a kid her age would be doing at Ryozanpaku. She couldn't have been a dojo challenger. Or a customer. Could she?
Just to mess with Shigure and the others a little bit he looked at her a moment or so longer then turned to the others and shook his head and sighed as he said in a sad tone. "I'm afraid that there is nothing that I can do for her."
"What?" Everyone shouted in unison, obviously confused about why he would say such a thing when he pointed down at her and said.
"Her lower body is missing."
Apachai upon hearing this, turned his head and gave the jujutsu master a horrified look and quickly jumped to his feet and moved away and started looking for the girl's lower body. It had been attached a second ago.
I hope that I didn't accidentally rip it off or something. Apachai thought as it occurred to him that she had been fighting pretty hard earlier to get away... And he didn't know how to restrain himself very well. So what if...
He made an alarmed sound and frantically ran from one end of the room to the other looking high and low with the baby still carefully cradled in his hands as Akisame chuckled and kindly helped the poor girl up.
"Sorry about them. They have poor social skills. Are you hurt anywhere aside from your arm?" Kylie looked at the guy strangely and chewed on her bottom lip for a second, uncertain about how to respond. Then after a second or so she shook her head no.
Aside from her arm she wasn't really hurt. She was just suffering from the usual combat aches and pains. Small things. Like the throbbing in her legs from making a solid connection to someone she had kicked. The more force she put behind the action, the more her feet, ankle, knee and sometimes her hips; ached and throbbed. It was the same when she twisted her body a certain way and threw punches.
It didn't exactly hurt. It just made her body ache.
"Alright then. Kensei, why don't you go make everyone some tea while I look at this one's wound." Akisame said as he gently grasped her arm in his hands and ripped her shirt sleeve a little more so that he could see the wound, causing the girl to gasp, her vivid turquise eyes widening as she started to sputter as he lightly probed the deep scarlet stained wound with his finger tips.
Occasionally he glanced at the girl's face, worried that he might be causing her more pain than he should. And was a little bit shocked by the fact that she wasn't squirming, trying to escape, or crying.
Even Miu occasionally did those things when she was wounded and left to his tender mercies. Shigure walked up with the first aid kit and set it down next to his right leg. He gave her a brief glance and smile as he thanked her then let go of the girl's arm so that he could dig out some disinfectant, a needle and thread and some bandages.
He ripped open an alcohol swab package then used it to clean the still seeping wound before turning his attention to threading the needle then grasping her arm in a firm grip so that she couldn't jerk or pull away, started pushing the tip of the needle through her skin. Several passes later he tied off the thread and cut it then put the needle aside and picked up the bandages and after a moment or so of mental debate decided to use a large band aid instead.
By the time he was done Kensei had finally come back into the room with a tray full of tea cups while Sakaki ran down Apachai and calmed the Muay Thai master down enough for him to stop searching the room for her lower half and settled himself in one of the corners and started to play with Honoka again.
"Here you go. Sweet lemon tea-" Kensei said happily as he set a cup down next to her knee. Kylie looked down at the cup and frowned a little bit but thanked him never the less as he served the others their tea before sitting down again and saying cheerfully. "Now that your patched up and you have something nice to drink, lets talk about your future."
"You know that's the second time one of you has mentioned my future, but you haven't really told me what it is that you wish to talk about."
"That's simple squirt. You have a lot of raw talent as a martial artist. With a little training here at our dojo you could really-"
