Temari stood watching the pink haired girl diligently go through the notes, scrolls and books of Lady Chiyo. Picking up one after the other, her golden eyes darting from form of paper to the other. Everything was spread out nicely on the living room floor. For hours she watched May do this, ever since the girl received the information. It was plainly seen, she was greatly fantasied by what she read, the smile never left her face. Absorbing the information with great ease, she called Temari over a few times to try and explain certain things to her, mainly with chakra.
A few times she compared the Mystical Palm Technique to her own way of healing. But what Temari noticed that stood out the most, was May's question on why so much of Chiyo's notes revolved around poison, if she was medical ninja. Questioning why she would study and perform such things. Having the recipes on how to make the type of poisons. She also came across another types of jutsu from Chiyo, placing them in separate piles.
"Temari."you call to her, while you kept your eyes on the papers in your hand. Switching from one to another, then back to the other.
"Yeah."
"...Lady Chiyo's notes, I have gone over them multiple times, and..."placing the papers down, looking at her fully."I would like to try something."
She looks at you arching an eyebrow at you. Wondering what it was you wanted.
Kai yawns, filling out the last bit of information. Today was a short at the hospital, he just came to make his rounds. His son at school and would be there for a bit longer. Hoping Kaito actually did the work, and paid attention. Dropping off the paperwork to the desk nurse, he says his good-byes to everyone, who do the same back to the young man. Gathering his things, he leaves thinking what to make for dinner. Reaching outside, he wasn't expecting two people to be waiting for him.
But hearing that gleeful voice, made the young man smile."Mr. Kai!"greeting him, the second he came out of the hospital.
Surprised but never the less happy to see your smiling face. Brought a smile to his. Walking over to you and Temari, greeting the two of you. He noticed the papers that where now complied into somewhat of a book, in your arms."What is the book for, May? You seem really happy about it?"
Opening the book for him, flipping through the pages, he goes over them when he realized who they belonged to. The monogram at the corner of each page."Sensei Ebizo was kind enough to, allow me access to Lady Chiyo, his sister's documents. To help further my studies in medical field."
"Oh, wow. So you mange to get them."he was astound, flipping through the book."...Everything in here is amazing...I'm more surprised he Honored Ebizo gave them to you so quickly. Especially, Lady Chiyo's personal documents. I've study most of her work that was is in the hospital. But this is...wow. Really only talented medic shinobi can look at such things. Everything here is so complex...the different herbs she used...wow...this is on a whole other level."
Smiling at him, turning to Temari who smiles back. You look to Kai."Mr. Kai."
Looking up from his indulgent on the knowledge presented before him."Yes?"
Your smile became bigger."I was wondering something, since you seem very interesting in Lady Chiyo's work, would you like to help me to prefect her work?"
Honored and surprised by your sudden request, knowing he couldn't pass up such an rare opportunity. Already an admire of her work."M-me?"
Nodding your head yes."Yes, Sensei Ebizo told me to pick one who is just as passionate as myself. Temari is helping me to understand and help create my own jutsu. I would greatly like your help in the medical field. I know and understand much, though in this world might be a bit different compared to my own, and how their medical is done here. I would not any one else other then you. Please Mr. Kai?"
His looks at you warmly, he saw the same desire and passion he himself had, there was something about you. The first time he meet you, there was something that sure gravitated either him towards you or you to him. But it was something."Sure. What do you want to get started on first?"
Happy he agreed, flipping the book to a certain page."This."showing him, Kai looks it over nodding his head.
"Alright then...let's head to the greenhouse."thumbing over his shoulder, in the direction of it.
Gaara sat in his office, going over documents. Kankuro was with him not dressed in his black attire,when someone came bursting in. Alarming the two males."What is it?"Kankuro at the ready asks.
The hysterical looking shinobi looks to Gaara."Kazekage! I have come to inform you, the for- I mean your ward. Has been taken to the our greenhouse. Which is strictly off limits unless to a medic ninja. The medic ninja Kai, has accompany her and the Jonin Temari."
Kankuro gives the shinobi a irritated and dumbfound look."Are you serious?"Looking to Gaara, waiting to see what he was going to do.
"Kazekage!"
Going back to his paperwork."Leave her. She is with a medic ninja, she it is alright. Temari is also in their company. There is no harm done."
About to protest, but the shinobi could see Gaara would not budge. Nodding their head, excusing themselves and leave. The door clicks shut, Kankuro smirks shaking his head.
"Honestly, everything little thing. Still though..."he looks to Gaara, who was still working on paperwork. Stopping, placing his pen down. Opening up on his deep large drawer, taking out the homemade lunch wrapped up. Made by the pink hair ward at his home. Always done the night before, ready to go. Untying the cloth that went around it. Letting it fall, taking off the top of the box. Picking up his eating utensil, and starts eating. Smiling to himself."Guess lunch does sound good, now. Think May going to the Greenhouse, is from her notes that Honored Ebizo gave her?"
Gaara nods his head. They both knew May had received Lady Chiyo's documents, coming home a couple of times with her late up at night going over them. Writing in her Grimoire. Twice she was asleep on the couch covered in the documents. The two of them summoned it up, even if Temari didn't want to tell them, May was studying medical jutsu, and Temari was helping her become a shinobi. How long the two have being so, they didn't know how long the two have been doing this. But apparently, its been for some time now. Which didn't bother them, though Kankuro was a bit weary about the idea.
She was still a foreigner of this world, but since Gaara didn't fuse about it. He didn't to either. Though he wondered if Gaara would allow the pink hair girl to become an shinobi of the village, it was his call, and well she didn't go the Academy like the others."So...are you going to let her become a shinobi?"
Stopping the food halfway to his mouth, hearing the question his brother asked. The one Gaara himself had on his mind about this whole thing. It weighed on him, whether to allow her to become one or not. She's been very resilient in doing so. He hadn't seen her skills with his own eyes, so it was hard to actually tell. Still, the decision was on him. He knew many would not be happy if he did make a May a shinobi of the village, feeling she did no deserve such a title, then again many might like the idea. She would be here in the village and who knows, something could happen on a mission ending her life. Making them happy. Either way he was a crossroad with this decision.
Deeply thinking about this, Kankuro kind of regretted saying the question outloud."You know what I'm concerned about...Temari turning May into, a mini her."
Kaito takes his leave from the Academy, with another note. From his teacher, for the samething. Not focusing on his studies in class, always having his head up in the clouds. Knowing his dad would not be pleased, he never really was. But Kaito couldn't help it, stopping for a second looking up at the sky longingly. Casting his eyes back to earth, he continued on his way to the hospital. Where he would always wait for his father to be done with work. Walking in, he was greeted, and told at the sametime his father left early.
Hearing that, Kaito makes his way home. A few kids ran passed him, practicing their ninjutsu, just for the fun of it. Though he kept his head down, he could still seem them just fine. The group laughing and playing, their skills where pretty good. Able to make a simple clone, with great ease. Using their chakra to boost their speed.
He couldn't help but feel inferior watching them. He knew his skills, where not on par with theirs. Walking up the steps of his home, remembering the key under the mat, he sticks it in, opening the door. Going inside, silently. Shutting the door, taking off his shoes and placing his school bag down. Never did he really ever announce his presence, if he ever came home. He was silent by nature, he knew it. It showed in his eyes, many thought he didn't like to talk and was anti-social or shy. Mainly shy, but that was not the case. Kaito just preferred to think deeply, becoming lost in his own mind. Which no one seem to understand, he heard the names others called him at school. Never did they bother him.
"Katio? Is that you?"Kai calls to his son, coming around the corner. Kaito looks at his father, with a somewhat distant look. Never the less, Kai smiles walking over to his son."Guess, what Kaito, we have some guest."
Hearing that sparked a questionable look in the little boy's eyes, which his father saw. Turning behind him, Kaito follows his father's look. Stepping out, from the direction where his father came. Temari and you.
Seeing Kaito, you greet him."Hello, Kaito."Kaito looks at you, you smile at the young boy. Going over to him, getting down to his level. Placing a hand upon his head affectionately. Ruffling his hair."It is so wonderful to see you again. I have greatly missed you, since the last time I saw you. How have you been?"
Kaito's distant look changed, to a warmer one when saw you. Infact it seem to do so, his father could see it. Which made him happy, finding his voice Kaito tells you."It..was fine."
"That is good to hear."
Curious as why you where at his home, you and Temari. Normally use to going over to the Kazekage's home more so seeing you there. Compared to at his place, he bluntly asks."Why are you here?"
His question could easily sound rude to those, but you did not take no offense to that at all."Mr. Kai, is helping me."
"Helping?"
"Yes, with perfecting Lady Chiyo's medical jutsu. She herself has done. Her brother, Sensei Ebizo has allowed my to keep such documents."
"So, you are studying to become a medical ninja, like my dad?"he pieces it together.
"Yes, today Mr. Kai showed me the Greenhouse, we took some of the herbs to try and replicate a few of Lady Chiyo's poisons, but instead turning them into medicine. I am not a fan of poisons really. So far, we have managed to make a couple."
A spark of interest shone in the boy's eyes."That sounds amazing, can I see?"
Delighted, you agree. Standing back up, telling him to follow you, which he does without question. Temari and Kai watch the two of you go off. Kai smiles at the interaction with the two of you."Kaito really enjoy May's company."he tells Temari."Which is good. At least he can talk to someone."
"So it seems. How do you think her skills are coming around?"
"Well, to be honest, she's a natural at this."Kai thinks about it."I mean, when she healed Ms. Sayuri there was no trace of her illness at all, her learning to enhance Lady Chiyo's own creations, making it into her own. Turning the poisons which Lady Chiyo was well known for into medicine, and improve her own medical jutsu it is either sheer luck or something else. And her skills in the medical jutsu, is also impressive. Though mostly using her power of aura to do them. Still have consider, she has studied this field back from where she is from. So that also gives her an advantage. Still, her progression with the documents is just astounding to say the least. Already going through a bit of it."
Temari smirks with pride."Her brain does process things much faster, than a normal person."she quotes what May told her.
"So it seems."Kai agrees."I don't know if I can teach her anything really. Frankly, I'm learning from her. Embarrassing really. So, how will she become a medic ninja? How are you going to present that to the, Kazekage? Do you think he will let her? I mean, the village already doesn't like her, here."
"I have my way of doing so. Though right now, we keep working."Temari looks the way you and Kaito went."May is different..."
"I could not agree with you more."Kai nods his head."Shall we?"he walks off with to you and his son.
Night came, Temari and you arrived back to the house a few minutes late. Thrilled from the day you had, with Kai, Kaito and Temari. Doing hours of learning and studying medical jutsu. As well Kai, explaining the two different types of medic ninjas. Those on the field and those like himself who work in the hospital and maybe at times on missions.
Stretching, still filled with energy enough to get dinner started. Temari follows you to the kitchen, using your telekinesis levitating what you needed out. Being in here, you already knew your way around, just fine. Opening the fridge levitating what you needed out. Getting the fire started you began. Cutting, mincing, chopping, stirring and pouring. Temari was amazed how easy this came to you and how you just flowed doing so. Like a busy bee, you where in the kitchen. Going here to there. She remember you telling her, how you use to cook back home. Something you picked up, when you lived with your friends in the sewer, away from your sister. It was in your way, step forward of independence. Cooking. Which ended up growing on you, enjoying it so much, it gave you a sense of freedom. Allowing you to do, what you wanted. Which was something that sparked, this sensation in you. To which you wanted to branch out more, to gain your own independence, and self. Not always rely upon, April.
For someone who was new to life, being life made. Temari was amazed at how quickly as you called it evolved, pretty grew. Even here, in this place that was not your own. Streak of self-assurance. Bold, she would tell herself about you, a bold girl indeed.
Fanning yourself, wrapping up dinner. Plating the food for you and Temari. Setting them aside, like always Temari took the food to the table and two of you sat and ate. You of course being the one who would start the conversation, telling her about things from your world. Which did fascinate, the young woman. A few times, you would bring up about the village and color, then occasionally about the state of Gaara's office and question why he can't really enjoy his age. The little dinner would last for a 45 minutes. You would then, take the plates to the sink and start cleaning up.
Prepare Kankuro's and Gaara's plate for when they came home. Followed by, making their lunch. Then proceed after Temari upstairs, clean yourself come back down to clean once more. Take out Chiyo's documents and read them over, along with the notes you had in your book. Loosing track of time, which either make your way to your room or fall asleep on the couch. Which this time, you mange to make it to your room.
Later that evening, Kankuro and Gaara walk home together. The lights off, the girl asleep they make their way to the kitchen taking out their dinner, heating it up, and eat it. Then make their way to their rooms, walking quietly, not wanting to wake up the two sleeping. When they noticed a light coming from your room, with the door half open.
"Guess, May's up."Kankuro whispers to his brother. The two of them walk by the door, when Gaara noticed something. He stops going back, pushing the door open. Kankuro sees this."Gaara..."he calls lowly to his brother. Making his way back over."What are you doing? Sh-"
"She's asleep."Gaara looks right at you, Kankuro looks too.
And just like his brother said, there you where asleep on the floor with Chiyo's documents around you, your Grimoire tuck close to you protectively, curled up in a ball. The glow that came from your room, was coming from you. Your aura had infused itself with a few of your paper flowers and stars and floated around the room. It was a cute sight, Kankuro had to admit to himself."Guess she stayed up to late. Let's leave her."he tells Gaara.
Looking at you, then to your bed. Using his sand, he has it gently wrap around you, lifting you up placing you in ever so carefully. Bringing his sand back into his gourd. You move slightly, which caused your Grimoire to drop, onto the floor. Going inside, he picks up your precious item and places it close to you, making you subconsciously smile, in your sleep. Placing a hand upon your book.
"...Sister..."
Hearing you tearful longing cry for your sister, Gaara look upon you changes to a sympathetic one. Looking down at all the paper on the floor, he could see the hard work you where putting in. Kankuro watches his brother observe the items on the floor. Having seen enough Gaara starts to leave, shutting the door softly behind him. Wishing his brother good night, he goes to his room. Kankuro hears the door close, looking back to your room. He was sure, he saw his brother see something.
In Gaara's room he sat on his bed, opening the draw the close to his bed. Pulling taking out the paper flower, looking at it long and hard. Before putting it back away, only to stop half way. Remembering what he saw just a few moments ago with your other flowers and stars, he stands up going to his window, looking out at the stars holding up the flower in hand towards the stars.
