We were being entered into the Chunin exams soon. We had to wait to take the test due to the fact that the infamous rookie-nine fiasco was straightened out and a new leader found. Thats around the time okaa-san got sick.
My teacher was Koari-sensei, Gai-sama's sister. 'My team-mates would probably pester poor Kimimaro until the kill. And hes already injured too. Kaito better not try anything stupid. As for Masaru, I just hope he doesn't try assassination.' I pondered, sending out a silent plea to God that neither of my squad-members would interfer with Kimimaro.
Sound ninja have always been unpredictable. Theres no reason for them to stop now. And Kimimaro was anything but understadable. He was an unsolvable mystery. 'I hope he opens up to me after a little while. He needs a friend. And I will try to be the friend he deserves!' I vowed inside my head and mentally pumped a fist in the air.
By the time I had finished the little inside my head rant, we were at the gates. "Ryuu-kun, open the freakin' gate! I know you see me a lot, but I didn't think you'd get sick of me that easily."I yelled up to one of the guards at their posts. Ryuu just laughed and poofed down to us. "Okay Bretanie-chan. Who is this guy, and why is he standing so close to you?" Ryuu asked, laughter practically spewing from his eyes.
I opened my mouth to speak, but Kimimaro beat me to it. "I am Mistress Bretanie's sworn protector. I was unaware of your intent towards her person so I moved into a more favorable position to further my advantage incase you did have malicous thoughts." he said with a slight bow. I noted he still didn't move from his position between myself and Ryuu.
I sighed and put my hand on Kimimaro's shoulder. Ryuu started laughing. "Its alright Kimimaro-kun. This is Ryuu-kun, hes like a brother to me. I trust him, and so can you." I said and pulled Kimimaro out of my path so that I could smack Ryuu on the head. "And you! Its very rude to laugh at the expense of others. Tell him you're sorry." I said, frowning at Ryuu.
"But I don't wa-" he began. "Do it!" I said folding my arms and giving Ryuu a very stern look. "Yes Mother." he said and sloched. "Sorry . I didn't mean to insult you." he grudingly mummbled. I laughed and patted him on the back. "There you go. Let Kimimaro-kun and me inside now idiot. He's hurt." I said pointing at Kimiaro with a worried expression. "Alright. Alright. I'll see you later." Ryuu replied opening the gates.
I turned to Kimimaro and sighed. "Kimimaro-kun. You are going to have to take off your purple rope dealy or you could get us in trouble. You don't have to get rid of it, but you can't wear it around in public." I said reaching towards his belt/rope thing and began to untie it until it was just a long piece of rope I was hoding out towards him. He knodded and took it from my hand, his fingers trailed across my palm.
We headed towards the hospital. Hopefully Lady Tsunade was still available. She rarely went to the hospital since she had accepted Miss Sakura as her apprentice. The receptionist smiled when I came in, until she saw Kimimaro. "Hello Sayuri-chan . This is Kimimaro-kun. He is wounded and I need a supervisor to watch me heal again. Is anyone open at the moment?" I asked hopefully. She knodded her head yes and gave Kimimaro a skeptical look.
"Actually Suzu-chan will be done healing her patient soon. I bet she would be happy to watch you heal. She has been wanting to see how you have progressed. You two just sit down and she'll be out soon." she said and smiled at me. I sat down on a very squeaky fake leather chair and began to wiggle around.
"What are you doing?" Kimimaro asked about five minutes after a continued chorus of squeaking. "I'm making a song with my butt. I like to see if I can make an actually melody that is inside of a certain frequency range. Its really fun." I said twisting around in my seat and getting a high note. Kimimaro quirked an eyebrow and the ends of his lips lifted ever so slightly.
Just then the doors to the ER opened and Suzu-sensei grabbed me in a bone-crushing hug. "Complexion turning... purple. Need... air." I said gasping and felt a had rench me away from my medical trainer. "Thanks Kimimaro-kun." I said and gave him a smile before turning back to Suzu-sensei. "Suzu-sensei, I need you to supervise me while I heal Kimimaro-kun." I said solemnly. She knodded and I pulled Kimimaro into a nearby roomfilled with beds and seperation curtains.
"Just lay down on that bed and I'll write down what needs to be treated." Suzu-sensei said grabbing a clip-board. "We probably have to do a body scan. Isortoffoundhimbleedingtodeathontheground." I said quickly, hoping she wouldn't ask me to repeat what I said. "What was that?" 'Damn' "When I foud Kimimaro-kun, he was bleeding to death in a feild. There was bunches of dirt and stuff in the opening and around the mouth of the wound. I poured it down and wiped it out with disinfectant just like you taught me." I said proudly.
"You may have saved him from a major germ-inflicted problem. And don't think you got out of discussing this with me later." she said unwrapping the cloth from his chest. I slouched over. "Now do a full body scan. I'll do one after you and make sure you didn't miss anything." she said. I knodded and placed my hands on his chest.
