In the arms of the doctor were his children. Black and laying limp in his arms as he passed. Slowly he placed them one by one onto the table and walked over to the doorway where there was a bucket I never noticed filled with water. He brought it over to his children when a young man rushed through the door.
I grabbed his arm as he tried to pass "The doctor is busy," I said glaring at the young man.
"Hiashi!" He yelled over me. "Your damn kids nearly blew up my house!"
"You selfish –"I started to yell when Hiashi turned slowly, showing his green eyes. They were so dark they looked black. He took one step towards us then motioned me to let him go. I started to limp away when Hiashi pulled a rock from the ground and hurled it at the man in the doorway.
He flew out of the doorway and Hiashi ran out after him with another rock in hand.
"Those are my children!" He was losing control every second, I had to do something. "They were almost killed in that explosion! What the hell exploded and HOW?" the doctor screamed at the man on the ground.
"W-we had some bomb jelly and the barrels where outside… And your k-kids were bending near it. We told them to get away but something sparked…." The man said in a horse whisper. Damn, doctor Hiashi is gonna explode just like that jelly. I thought looking back at the two bodies on the table. They were both bobbing up and down slowly. Good they're breathing. I said to myself as I slowly made my way over to the table.
They were so small. Even for children. They were both still black from the explosion. And they looked hurt, even just a little bit. I looked around the table and found the bucket of water with a cloth inside. Smart thinking. I thought as the sounds of the world outside crawled into the building.
I took the cloth and rinsed it out into the bucket before gently wiping they child's face that was closest to me. The black came off fairly quickly and I soon uncovered the mask of the child. It was the little girl. What was her name? Kitsume was it? Who knows?... I brushed her hair from her face and got a good look at her.
She had the same features as her dad. Strong. But she also had a soft touch to everything about her. Maybe it was just because she was a girl. I touched her cheek and her eyes flew open as she gasped for air.
"Oko! IS OKAMI OK????" She screamed at me grabbing my shirt with her cold hands.
