"How are they?" Miri asked.
"They will live which is surprising. Your boyfriend here lost his eye and it seems that whatever infected his brain. Like he has no pupil, just a bunch of zigzag lines. And your girlfriend here has both her arms burnt to a crisp, she'll never move them again without a flow of chakra to run through it. I wrapped them in a special bandage that will freeze the burns but needs to be replaced everyday. Of course their hair will grow back but it will take time." The doctor got up from his chair. He wrapped his headband on and grabbed his bag from the ground.
"Thank you for everything cutie, but we're not in a open relationship like that. I mean I'd like to give these guys a ride of a lifetime but. They have ideals that forbid that." Miri's back leg went on her toes and she swayed her hips as she talked.
The man awkwardly chuckled. "If you ever find yourself in the Nation of Fire, come by the leaf village. I'll take you on a proper date. But for now watch your friends. I mean you're probably a three quarters day away from the village so if anything happens, run there."
Miri lustfully walked to the man, one arm grabbed his forearm and the other grabbed his crotch. "Maybe I'll show up not for my friends."
He squinted his eyes and choked a laugh. "Oh um, I'll like to get to know you first. Then maybe one day something like that can happen." He side stepped away from her. "The leaf village maybe weak right now, but if you need aid... Don't be afraid to ask."
"Of course, thank you." Miri walked back over to her friends and pulled up a chair. She sat in between them. She grabbed hold each each of their hands. "I'll do you good Amari and help rebuild the village. And you Sean, what a weird name, I'll protect this village till you are able."
Miri wasn't much help to the village as she helped rebuild what was destroyed by the attack. She didn't know how to use the machinery they did, nor did she have the strength to carry what they did. The villagers themselves soon forgave what the group has brought upon them. They knew her help was minimal and not on purpose but they had her help the best she could. They started on the homes. Entire walls were stripped down and new ones were forced to be built.
For several weeks Amari and Sean were unconscious. Miri became strong friends with the handful of dozens of men and women in the village. She joined them on their fishing quests and lead mostly in the agriculture rebuild. If the seaside didn't give off the fishing village, the flowers and luscious greenery made it look like a large floral paradise.
She sat in the inn with a dozen men around her. They all carried pints in their hands and gave out a roar of laughs. They sky has set to mark the third week that past. The men's fists were callast beyond belief and many broken bones from slip ups. Even from the pain and struggle they went through they still had many weeks ahead before they would clean up all the damage.
"This one time, I don't think I've mentioned this yet." Miri struggled to talk between her laughs. "But we were in this hide out and I put up this cloth to separate my room. Sean tripped on the rope on the ground and pulled it all the way down and fell right between my legs."
"So what?" One of the men yelled from the table.
"I was naked!" Everyone in the room laughed, Miri couldn't tell if it was to get on her good side or they actually thought it was funny. "I told him if he wanted to do something he could but he still keeps a good distance from me." Miri looked down in her drink. It's strange, he's the only man I don't want to sleep with but to sleep right in his arms. The tone he gives off, the feeling I get when he takes the lead in a fight. I'm not sure how I feel.
"If one of us did it what would you do then?" the big man next to her nudged her shoulder with his elbow.
Miri tapped his pecks. "Well for you shirtless I'd threaten you get your wife." the crowed ooed at the man. "But for you." she pointed at a young lad with a ponytail. "I might just accidentally drop."
The door creaked open. The party's laugh stopped and strayed their attentions from Miri to the door. The door fully opened and two people in full body robes stepped in. Their eyebrows were gone and so was their hair. But the front man had a bandage wrapped around part of his head and his eye. And the girl had her arms bandages all the way through.
"I swear, you planted that rope on me just so I would trip." The front man smiled.
"Sean! Amari!" Miri dropped her cup and stepped on the table. She jumped to the other side and jumped on Sean, she wrapped both her arms and her legs around him.
Sean groaned in pain and held onto Miri's back. "Ah! Still in a lot of pain here." Miri jumped off of him.
"I'm sorry for that. Kind've forget that you're still a little weakling." She playfully punched his arm. She turned her focus to Amari. "Amari, did the nurse tell you to change your bandages everyday and you can't use your arms without a chakra flow ran to the nails in your palms?"
Amari slowly lifted her arm with a moan. "Yeah. Still need to get used to it though. And thank you for fixing our mistake. I hope the damage isn't too bad."
"Nah." One of the men lifted up his mug. "Just another month and it should be good as new. Besides we're hoping you'll be our protectors. A payment of debt if you will."
"We're sorry but we can't do that. Greater troubles will come, after we help here we must move again." Sean walked up to the table and made a spot for himself. "You're in a way, harboring a fugitive. But not for the law, a dangerous man by the name of Orochimaru hunts us down."
"We'll hide you and say you left." the man hat spoke turned his focus to Miri and heightened his voice. "We'll do anything for miss Miri."
"You don't understand fool. He doesn't just want us, he'll wipe out entire villages that form to his way. Unless you want to die you will tell them everything you know about us, just the safest way for your people."
"Sorry to say it but it's true." Miri walked up behind Sean and leaned on his back with her forearms on his shoulders. "This man isn't a joke he will kill anyone that annoys him."
"We'll just need another week to recover enough to help." Sean grabbed Miri's arm.
