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 hadn't taken too long to finish with Mikoto before she arrived back at her home. Scowling her hues danced across the blood once again staining her front deck. Crossing her arms under her chest she shook her head, she would have to make the male clean it this time. Retreating into her own home she arched an eyebrow at the curious state of the male resting in her living room before turning and engaging the several locks on her front door. His eyes shut and hands up in a jutsu yet he was silent. She lowered herself closer to his body, her hues took in his face as she smiled. She could see his hues moving beneath his lids, so what ever he was doing meant it was taking up most of his concentration. Straightening up she scrubbed at the back of her head, well why was he here? He said he had a friend that needed help but there didn't seem to be-
She furrowed her brows as she spun around facing her bedroom, was that a groan? She ran her fingers through her hair as she moved towards her bedroom, well it would be understandable if the male set his friend in here. She hadn't really moved him into the guest room last time he was here because of her panicked state, her bedroom was closer. Frowning she slipped her fingers into the door slit before sliding it open and stepping in. She felt her stomach drop at the sight of her room, there was now no doubt in her mind that the male would be cleaning her floors.
Blood was splattered across her floor and up the wall next to her bed, in her bed white sheets now stained a very dark red was another male. She crossed her arms as she moved towards her dresser once more, ripping the tie from inside she quickly stuck her hair up, pulling a variety of bottles and needles from within. She let the bottles clatter against her nightstand before turning towards the blonde. She would have to remove his cloak and what ever was underneath, if he was bleeding this much through the heavy cloth it was something serious. She quickly un-clipped his cloak struggling to pull it down around his body, he weighed so much more than he looked! Groaning she finally tugged the damned material out from underneath the male stumbling backwards she fell harshly on her ass before she let a huff pass her lips.
A deep laugh rumbled behind her and she spun letting her eyes connect with the blue male standing in the doorway. "Having trouble?" He moved in letting his hands slide underneath her arms before lifting her back to her feet. Before she could say anything else he moved towards the blonde making quick work of removing his shirt and pants. Collecting the cloak from her hands he folded the items setting them in the arm-chair she had fallen asleep in the last time he was here. She let a small smile paint her lips before nodding her head in thanks, pushing her attention back towards the slender male the smile instantly flipped upside down. He was in pretty bad shape.
Large lacerations tore up and down his body, pus mixed in with the blood signally some type of poisoning although how much she was unsure of. She turned her attention towards the blue male, "Kisame, I need a bowl of water from the kitchen now." He nodded his head before exiting the room, once she could hear the tap water running she plunged the needle into one of the vials filling it with a warm orange liquid. She carefully positioned the needle before sticking it in and emptying its contents into his body. She repeated the process a few more times with a green and yellow liquid before she set the needle down. Now that he had blood thickeners, pain medicine and sleeping medicine he would be fine for her to start on.
Taking a deep breath she placed her hands over the male her chakra sparking to life and licking away at his skin. She watched as it burned away the blood oozing from his body and tore away at the pus oozing from inside. She felt Kisame's hand rest on her shoulder as he moved besides her dragging her nightstand over so the bowl could rest besides her. She quickly turned dipping her hands and crackling chakra into the water. Smoke billowed from her hands and the water blackened quickly thickening as well. She pulled her hands from the ooze the water had become and began working on the next cut, pulling the poison and bad blood from his system. "Kisame..." He grunted before picking up the bowl, this time a faster pace in his step. At least he realized this wasn't play time.
The process was repeated several times before she began throwing up as well. She would move her shaky hands back to his body and Kisame would watch in wonder as the lacerations began to slowly sew themselves up. It was as if she was making new skin to patch over the old, it was a process he had never seen before. Her way of healing was so unique it could change the medical world forever if she were to share her secrets. Frowning he placed the clean water besides her, noting the paleness in her face. Why hadn't the medical nin's taken what she had? He doubted it was because she hadn't shown them, it had to be something else. Something he wasn't noticing...
She turned to purge her hands again and that was when he noticed it. Dripping from the corner of her mouth was a small line of red, following where the blood was dripping to he noticed the larger pool around her feet. Her stomach was tainted red and the blood was slowly making its way down her legs to add to the pool beneath her. "Fuyuurei stop!" His hands gripped her shoulders as he pulled her away from his comrade, he couldn't have her dying, not yet. Not after what he had just gotten through telling Leader-sama. He would be furious if the female died before he was able to meet her. "A-aaah...Kis...ame..." With that her eyes rolled back into her forehead and she tumbled into his arms leaving the male with a severely bleeding woman and a healing male.
Kisame was not one to panic, he had basic medical training a while back so he should at least know how to bandage the wounds. Grunting he tore the shirt from the female's chest to find a sight that befuddled him. Sitting across the female's stomach was a less severe version of the worst wound she had worked on. The one it had seemed like she had created skin f-. His head slowly rose to look at the stomach of the blonde only to find what he was sure he would. The laceration was gone, there wasn't even a scar left on the male to show he had received the wound. Yet upon closer inspection he female's body shone with oddly shaped outlines.
Was this her kekkei genkai? Was this why she was such a good healer? He slowly lowered his hand to her leg to find a large scar where his own injury had been on his body. She could take her own skin and patch it on others? Was the blood a result of what happened when too fatigued? When she healed for too long? When she was poisoned? He cursed himself for not thinking of it earlier as he smashed his hand against the dresser the vials sat fumbling to find the bandages he had seen her place there. Ripping the item from the top he began to tightly bound her stomach, hoping the pressure would keep her from bleeding to her death. Glancing up he let a sigh pass his lips, at least he had stopped bleeding, it wouldn't be ideal if he had to look after the both of them. He looked better than Kisame would have expected, the only marks were small almost minor cuts and bruises that dotted his body. Frowning he scooped the female up into his arms as he carefully adjusted her so he could throw a blanket over the blonde. Moving out of her room he turned away from the front door praying she had another room he could place her. Sliding the door next to hers open he let his mouth fall open. "What the hell is this!"
He shook his head before stepping back out and down to the next room where he was happy to find another bedroom. It was rather small and he knew it would be a squeeze for the both of them to fit on the bed, but he didn't want her to wake up alone and confused. Bleeding and bandaged in her spare room. Sighing he lowered the female onto her second bed and fiddled with the blankets pulling them out from underneath her and placing them on top of her slender form. Groaning he stepped into the hall for a moment to clear his head. He swallowed hard as he did so, the flickering light from the other room an eerie reminder that he left the room open. Mustering his courage he stood in front of the sterile room again shaking his head.
It wasn't everyday someone had an operating room in their house. He felt bad that he hadn't walked down the hall to check this room before he dropped the blonde on her bed. He wondered if it was because he was so heavy she chose her room last time. That way they didn't have to walk all the way down her hall to this one. Shuddering he pulled the door shut with a soft click, if there was one thing he didn't like, it was hospitals and operating rooms. He was an abnormal being and the last thing he wanted was to be experimented on. He moved back out to her living room moving to the mantle that was littered with photos. He frowned as his eyes scanned them, how had he not noticed this before? Every picture had her and another in it, mainly the jinchurriki Itachi and himself were looking for. So she was friends with him?
He furrowed his brows as he gripped one of the photos lowering his cloaked body to rest on her couch. There were five of them in this picture, the white fang stood behind the four a defeated yet happy expression on his visible hue, his hands resting on top of the jinchurriki's head as well as what he could only guess was Itachi's brother. The jinchurriki stood with his arms crossed scowling at the Uchiha across from him, said Uchiha looking away from the group with a fed up expression painted on his face. In the middle stood two girls, the pinkette he had seen only a handful of times stood with her hands up near her face, her eyes closed and a happy smile stretched across her face. To her left, closer to the Uchiha stood the woman he knew, although she barely looked any different. Even in the picture he could feel the kindness in her smile, her hues closed although most likely because she didn't want her eyes seen in the photo. Her smile was small but sincere, her hands folded neatly in front of her.
He could have sworn she was older than them, the way she talked, walked and even held herself he had placed her closer to Itachi's age then these brats. Frowning he stood setting the photo down, unfortunately too close to the ledge allowing the photo to wobble before tumbling over the edge and shatter against her wood floors. Letting a stream of curses pass his lips he bent over scooping the frame and picture into his hand a corner caught his attention. Raising his eyebrow he set the frame aside pulling the picture out from behind the one on display and he felt his stomach drop.
He knew everyone in the photo and that was what was unnerving. Standing in the back like the picture before was Kakashi, this time his eye curved up in an open smile. To his left the bluette stood, her hues open as well a large smile painted on her lips and a blush tinting her dark skin. He followed the curve of her shoulder down to the hand she held and back up to the opposite face. A young Itachi stood staring out at the shark and although he wasn't smiling the corner of his lips were turned up in an attempt. His gaze turned away from the camera yet there was no anger in the way he presented himself. He quickly folded the photo shoving it in his pocket as he swept the broken glass under her table with his hand, there was no time for him to rummage for a broom. This was intriguing information that would only benefit them when it came time to take her with him.
Moving back down the hall he stuck his head in to quickly check on his sleeping comrade before moving down her winding hall and into her spare bedroom. Picking up the female gingerly he slid underneath her turning her so their chests touched she instantly adjusted to the new sleeping position and curled into his body warmth. With that the male quickly fell into a light slumber.
