Blood (Tsunade)

"The healer she couldn't stand"

It's what keeps everyone alive. It's supposed to stay within the body. It's ironic, isn't it? The key to her ability, the key to her success, and she's terrified of it. Just the mere sight of it is enough to make her freeze in her tracks, trembling as she stares at whatever it coats, her mind travelling back to when it all started. To when he left her alone in this world. She's a healer; she has to learn to deal with it. But however hard she tries, she always fails. It would always be the healer she couldn't stand.

Exactly 100 words. Prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Blood, Tsunade, "The healer she couldn't stand"). No OCs or anime-filler characters, please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.

Thanks for reading!
