Thinking
Inner
I slammed my eyes shut trying to block out as much of the blinding white light as possible. I couldn't see what color it turned to before dying out. Naia had told me earlier that the white would fade into a specific color that belonged to that summons element. I figured that Griffins would be either earth or wind.
The light died out and I slowly let my eyes open again. In front of me, in the center of the star, stood a man with shaggy light brown hair, light brown eyes, broad shoulders covered by a Chinese styled dress shirt the color of peanut shells, muscled frame, and a pair of black loose fitting pants. He looked handsome, breathe taking type of handsome.
"Kimchi, I'm glad it was you not your idiotic twin, Yumei." I looked to my left, Naia was in her human form regarding the man through her bright grey eyes.
"Nice to see you too, Naia." He bowed his head slightly in greeting, his voice made my insides flutter. It was a deep baritone that sounded like smooth melting chocolate. Then he directed his eyes to my form, "You were the one who summoned me?"
It sounded more like a hilarious statement than an actual question.
"Just because I have pink hair does not mean I'm weak." I countered and crossed my arms in front of my chest, just barely realizing my state of dress. I felt the tips of my ears burn but I would not let a flush take over my face.
He just raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow at me.
"Kimchi, she has passed my expectations." Naia took his attention off of me, "You should really get into her mind and actually see what she can do." I looked at her with a raised eyebrow as if asking 'is that wise?'
She caught my look, "Keimico and Sakura you must be forth coming with the information or the griffins will not accept you as I have."
"Keimico and Sakura?" Kimchi asked turning around looking for a second person.
"Sakura's in my head." I stated and waited for him to get the 'crazy person is speaking to me' look, instead he seemed to understand. Sort of. I really suck at reading looks.
I dragged myself forward, I needed to meet my team at the bridge. I was so tired. Kimchi wanted to test my skills out both mentally and physically, as a result I felt like I was about to collapse. Said jerk was now flying high in the sky in his Griffin state. Freaking bastard.
I honestly didn't really notice that both Naruto and Sasuke were already at the bridge when I arrived. I honestly didn't know if I remembered to put my jacket on or my shoes before I left. I leaned heavily against the railing trying to ease any pain I was in, not much but I think I pulled a muscle in my back from the demonstration.
I blinked, the place was spinning. I don't think I hit my head that hard when Kimchi had dropped me out of the sky. All the spinning was making me nauseous. I think I might have had a concussion. I blinked again trying to feel the stability of the bridge.
I barely registered that I had collapsed on the bridge. I closed my eyes to keep the nausea away. "I don't feel so good." I said cradling my stomach.
"Sakura-chan!" I heard Naruto but when I opened my eyes I couldn't really see which one was which. Twelve of him were swimming in my vision. I don't think this is right. I'm pretty sure concussions weren't actually like this. Well they might be, I never really had one before.
"I'll take-" I blinked seeing Kakashi with Sasuke joining Naruto in dancing around in numbers, "Hospital." I think it was Kakashi talking.
I quickly leaned off to the side, hopefully away from them and emptied my stomach. My throat burned and I could feel tears cascading down my face. I hated throwing up.
"Hokage's tower-" I think Kakashi was still speaking but I wasn't too sure. I felt like some thing was pressing tightly on my ears muffling the noises around me.
Did I inhale a poison on accident? Shit. Oh God please tell me I'm not activating another stage of this 'artificial' Kekkei genkai. Maybe this one was stationed around my eyes and ears? I really was just okay with the physical ability this stupid thing gave me.
I felt something lift me up, I felt another stab of nausea run its course as I tried to curl in on myself.
"Kakashi-sensei?" I tried to focus my eyes but all I saw was a blur of colors.
"I'm-here." I think he tried to say I'm right here. He sounded like he was the one who picked me up.
"I-I think." I paused trying to keep myself from puking again, "It's stage two." I was positive he knew what I had meant but I couldn't be too certain.
I think he held me tighter but I was delirious already so I could have imagined it. I'm almost positive he was holding me tightly to his chest. I closed my eyes, the colors had long since faded and become nothing but shadows.
I fought against a bright light. My head was pounding. I could hear the faint beeps the heart monitor let out making any one in the room aware that I had yet to die.
"She's waking up." I heard a female voice in the distance, my eye lids felt particularly heavy.
"Go get Hatake-san." This was a males voice, soft and mellowed with age.
I heard her footsteps fade away. I tried desperately to open my eyes.
"Sakura-san, please don't force your eyes open." I guess he knew I was fully awake now. "They had extensive damage done to the irises and I do not know if you will be able to see anymore." I flinched that put a really big damper on things, "However when the swelling goes down we will run a diagnostic check, if we can't seem to be able to restore your full sight..." He didn't need to continue I already knew. I would have to quit being a ninja. "Your ear drums tore, they are fully healed now. This should help with your equilibrium. It was like you had been spinning for hours to keep all the liquid from stabilizing."
"I see." Actually I couldn't really see anything but I understood what he was telling me. I just really hoped my irises wouldn't badly effect my ability to see. Normally it wouldn't. Actually I don't really think it would effect my vision at all. If it was my retina I could understand but the iris?
"She's awake?" That would be Kakashi, I could hear the door close behind the now still figure that would be my sensei.
"Yes." I imagined the doctor turning to face Kakashi. "I'd like you to apply this ointment on her eyelids every four hours for two weeks, yes Kakashi this means that you will have to spend a great deal of time with her. The swelling should go down in about an hour or two. When it does please get in contact with some of the nurses or myself and we will run a systematic check up before discharging her." I think he would nod at that point to agree with himself.
I could hear a pair of footsteps leaving, the door opening, then closing. I wasn't too sure if Kakashi had left or not. I listened closely, the beeping of that annoying machine wasn't going anymore. "This is just great." I whispered sitting up.
"It could have be worse." I knew I shouldn't have jumped. I knew he was there and I knew that I probably should have been using my chakra alarm system, but oh well.
"Yes." I knew that. "What are Sasuke and Naruto doing?"
Imouto?
Hmmm?
Good your still here.
Yep, I'm still here making you psychotic.
I would have loved to roll my eyes at her.
"Weeding a garden." I could imagine him shrugging. I heard footfalls and then a chair sliding noisily against the floor. I cringed from the loud obnoxious sound. "Sorry."
I sighed and let out a small laugh, I could hear his clothes rustling. He was probably sitting down. "How worried were they?"
"Naruto was practically in tears, you weren't responding to him at all. Sasuke looked like he was in complete shock." I could hear his chuckle. Then I heard some more rustling. He was probably taking out Icha Icha Paradise.
I cocked my head towards the sound, "Kakashi, are you really going to read when I have nothing to entertain myself with?"
I heard him sigh.
"Least you could do is read it out loud." I grumbled and folded my arms against my chest. I heard a coughing stutter of surprise. I paused in my pout for a second. I couldn't feel my jacket any more. If I could my eyes would be as wide as dinner plates right now.
"What?" He asked sounding generally appalled or surprised or taken a back by what I had just said.
"Read to me?" I asked as if he seriously didn't know how to comprehend my words. "The book can't be that bad."
I sat back up and let the man examine my eyes with his flashlight. He made me read the charts. Finally he seemed to come to the conclusion that I indeed did not lose my eye sight. He deemed me ready to leave the hospital.
I got myself up and out of the hospital bed and held the back of the gown closed in the back. The only think I had on underneath this material was my black underwear. How embarrassing. I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom to change.
I slipped into my netings and my shorts, wrapped my chest and put on my jacket. I slipped my shoes on and looked into the mirror. My normal green eyes were gone. My left eye had turned orange and my right eye was blue. This was strange. I blinked making sure the image didn't leave. It didn't.
I shrugged and walked out of the bathroom and straight into a warm body. I stood my ground but the other person fell to the ground. I blinked and looked down to see Naruto rubbing his forehead. "I'm sorry." I said and helped him back to his feet.
Then he looked into my eyes and promptly fell back down on his but from shock or surprise I'm not sure.
I blinked, that was a weird reaction, "Ne, Naruto are you alright?"
"What happened to your eyes?" He asked completely ignoring my question, I also became aware of two other people in the same room. I looked up and met onyx eyes, Sasuke. Then looked even further up and met a single onyx eye, Kakashi.
"Are they really that bad?" I asked shifting my head to the side like a pug would do.
"There just...different." Kakashi explained. I knew that this was probably the best explanation I would ever get.
"Kakashi-sensei, do you really have to stay with me for two weeks?" I really didn't want him to. I still had tons of questions for Kimchi and Naia. Shiyo might enjoy the company, but I won't.
"Unfortunately yes I will have to." Kakashi sighed, we ignored the boys who seemed shocked into silence.
"I could just apply that stupid ointment my self." I said grumpily crossing my arms in front of my chest.
Welp done with another filler chapter...I have a lot of those...anyways action will be in the next chapter...hopefully...
I need five summons; so far I have Cats and Griffins...I have two more already picked out BUT I need the last one and I can't really figure out which one it should be.
