Scroll 9, Amnesia
Shozaku gave Usagi a cold glance as she stepped over to her cousin. It was the kind of look Usagi might recognize as 'something good happened, it could happen again if you don't say anything, so don't cock-block me.'
The Gambler also gave a nod towards Kakashi, indicating he didn't want any problems between the groups. When Kakashi looked to him for answers, he just held up his hands in confusion.
"I know about as much of what just happened as you do if not less. I may have a low moral standing on some things but I would've tried to prevent this if I'd known about it."
"Known about what?" Kakashi looked absolutely clueless as Shozaku rambled on. The jounin had walked over to Yukari and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Your eyes are slightly glazed, Yukari-chan, are you ok?"
"I…I don't remember coming to Sunagakure, Kakashi-sensei…and definitely not with anyone here…" The kunoichi sagged slightly in Kakashi's grip. "I…last remember cutting off my chase when Konohamaru-kun pranked me."
Kakashi's eye went up in alarm as a short, Suna Medical Ninja entered from next to Gaara.
"Ok, I know you are guests of the Kazekage, but PLEASE! Everyone OUT OF THE ROOM! Those who aren't injured that is…" This Suna Medical Ninja was blindfolded – his eyes covered modestly with a tan strip of cloth – and had a bird perched upon his black-haired head.
Standing four feet, ten inches, the boy wore a long white overcoat that denoted him as a medical ninja. Underneath that was a pale green shirt and blue pants that went more towards the Konoha clothing style. His sandals too, matched those of Konoha rather than Suna. The pre-teen's belt had a Leaf symbol clasp; noting his ties with Konohagakure.
Usagi's eyes went up in great delight as she opened her mouth to say the boy's name. However, a patch of sand covered it as the Kazekage intercepted her word and spoke instead.
"Ah Tora-sama, I'm glad you are here." Gaara forced a hard look at Usagi telling her to not say anything at all. The girl, amazingly, understood and shut her mouth.
Just then, Barokendo brushed past the boy who just entered and moved towards an empty medical bed and opened his hand over it. He dropped onto the bed what appeared to be a body; bruised and beaten with a large gash on its forehead. The face seemed like a jigsaw puzzle of stitches and parts even before all of its current injuries, even though the body was small and looked to belong to a nine year old boy. Baro sighed, reaching one hand around at a sickening angle and tapping a symbol on the center of his back, before tapping a finger to his little brother's forehead.
The symbol, indecipherable between all of Baro's old and new injuries, gave a dim glow as chakra visibly flowed through his arms and into Jake's forehead. The body twitched for a minute as its wounds rapidly recovered. Jake then sat up, looked around, and everybody could feel a genjutsu fall over them. The only effect was that Jake now looked like he usually did: a completely covered in black-cloth nin.
"Oh great, another interesting subject, Kazekage-sama, I'm not in the mood to treat the whole Konoha's visiting mission-ninja…" the kid – acting like he wasn't blind – let the bird, a red-tailed hawk, do the looking around for him. "Kakashi-senpai, Yukari-san and Usagi-chan; greetings to all of you."
It seemed the boy knew at least three of them by name…was there a relation involved? The hawk looked oddly familiar; and if one had but to see the truth, the boy was an Uzaruki.
"Yukari-san, you can release the genjutsu now and lie on the bed…" the white-frocked boy muttered to himself as he stood next to Wydra and allowed the Hawk to inspect her. "You too, miss. Baki-sama, please bring that other woman into this room, as I would like to keep them together."
Yukari sighed painfully as she turned off her overlying skin genjutsu and showed the room her injured left side; which was still weeping blood.
The red-headed Yamira nodded and went over to a bed, sitting down on it and continuing to look around the room with a slightly clueless nature. She still didn't remember much, but did get a very large sense of familiarity from most of the people in the room.
Jake watched Tora before turning towards Baro: "How many? How many did it take?" He asked with a bit of hesitancy in his tone.
"Fifty-eight; the smallest was seven. One of them was a gatekeeper. And no…" Baro said as he looked around the room. "I don't expect anyone to understand what we're talking about. Jake, since your motives in many things are beginning to seem relatively unclear, you owe them an explanation." he kicked the bed as he said this to stir Jake out of a momentary spacing-out.
"Why? Can't you do it? You seem to know just about everyth-" Jake's tone began to get a little uppity, until he felt his brother's gaze harden on his back. Jake leaned back and spoke to the room at large as his body quickly healed itself.
"Oh, by all means, please share." Tora mused as he looked up from cleaning Yukari's wounds.
"What everybody might know is, three little girls just about mutated and went man-crazy. The reason is a slightly long one. There's a common link somewhere back in the families that rule the Darkness and Twisted villages. The Twisted ninja have kept their old ways strong, while the Dark shifted. but the Twisted are…wrong in all ways, such as when in life a person reaches adulthood. Their body mutates in un-natural ways and they...well, imagine that the normal amount of hormones a person gets at that age is a pin-drop; they'd get about a gallon. The reason it all happened at once is because, as a defense mechanism, my sister pumps chakra into anything she's attached to so it's harder to leave her. So…that made Yukari like a trigger to her and her two friends...so when the kunoichi started, so did they. And if you've paid attention, the rest makes sense. Speaking of which, where's Gilligan?" He said, tilting his head to look around the room.
Wydra blinked, walked slowly over to Usagi and tugged on her arm so she could speak into her ear:
"Can…I get something to clean up? I'm kind of…dirty. I don't mind getting examined but this…is going to be embarrassing soon…" Wydra wasn't damaged, she hadn't taken the fall too hard, and she was just on her period. She'd gotten ill because of the overwhelming sensations of waking up from a blackout and realizing what had happened, among other things.
Baro looked around before his gaze settled on Tora. The giant bowing his head and sighed.
"Another brat? This is starting to get old." He stood up straight, or as well as he could without bumping into anything, from the chair he was leaning on.
"Well Jake, one last thing I've gotta take care of at the moment. Discretion is the better part of your judgment today. Speak only when necessary. Since I'm gonna be gone for a few hours, she's on your watch for now." he said, nodding toward Usagi. He hadn't forgotten that he was going to be protecting her, even if she had. Jake just nodded, his body set seemed a little irritated, and sat there. His injuries seemed to have strangely healed up for now. With that, Baro walked out of the room, moving to exit the hospital.
Shozaku shrugged, turning towards the nearest sand-nin.
"Where's the closest inn, or wherever I can get a room for awhile? We've been through a lot and I think we should all get some rest before we do anything official."
"Of course." Baki looked to the Kazekage and he nodded.
"Yes, if you would follow Baki-san, he'll show you to your accommodations." Gaara moved outside the door and once again looked surprised as Temari, Shikamaru, Auron, Kankuro, Reena, Sheena and Jiyu entered the room. This, of course, sent the bird on Tora's head into a frenzy; making it chase out Kakashi, Baki, Shozaku, Usagi, Wydra and Temari out of the room.
"This is now a quarantined room for the injured! Shikamaru-sama, please put your person on the bed nearest the window!" the covered face of Tora still revealed his mouth, and thus he spoke.
"Geez, I know the drill, you brat." Shikamaru dragged Auron to the bed and placed the unconscious man on it. "Still playing the mighty doctor, I see, Tora-san…not my problem. Oh, hey there, Yukari-san. I'll catch up with you later, on news at home." The Nara boy waved briefly at her as Usagi helped Wydra exit the room.
Auron lay there on the bed, breathing slowly. his injuries seemed to have stabilized…or rather, they weren't getting any worse.
Shozaku had already followed Gaara out of the room, and then followed Baki as he'd show them to where they'd be staying for now. He laughed as everybody got chased out, shaking his head with amusement.
As Usagi and Wydra were chased out of the room, Jake got to his feet and walked out behind them as well. He didn't walk right behind them but he was pretty close by. He had his arms folded across his chest and seemed relatively annoyed, wishing he could be somewhere else right now.
Barokendo, noticing that other people were filing out of the room and the hospital in general, quickened his pace. He took the spike from a strap to his side and proceeded to shove it back through himself, where it would normally be. This particular spike went from his hip, up his side, and through his shoulder. He took a deep breath, and stepped outside.
The moment he exited the building, a large shadow grew over him. Moments later, he got jumped by something that could only be described as a mass of limbs and a tangle of parts, covering him in arms that pulled him to the ground, legs that wrapped around him, all the parts seemed to want him bound.
The giant managed to clap his hands together, performing one of his usual earth-jutsu and sinking himself and whatever was attached to him into the ground. And then there was silence on his end, the only mark that anything had happened over the two seconds it had taken place was an indentation in the ground. Jake blinked, raised an eyebrow, and spoke only:
"Oh…that's where she went…so…" Jake asked, looking up at the Sand and Leaf nin. "Where are we supposed to go for now?"
Baki led the Konoha and Wheel nin to a multi-roomed complex that Shikamaru was staying in. The Nara boy frowned severely as he saw Baki lead the ninja to the building.
"This is the Konoha Ambassador Building; built for the Leaf Ninja would visit from time to time." Baki had bid his Kazekage a brief message and led Kakashi, Shozaku, Usagi, Wydra and Jake to the second floor rooms. "This is where you'll be staying." The head-wrapped Suna jounin bowed to Kakashi. "I'll send news as soon as Tora-sama finishes his diagnostics of your injured."
"Why would you put that brat of an U-" Usagi opened her mouth again. Kakashi, knowing the full story of Usagi's younger brother – Tora Uzaruki – and his partnership with the Suna Ninja as their assisting Medical Ninja for the visiting Konoha nin; moved up next to the Uzaruki to smile at her.
"I'm sure that our Konoha secrets are safe with Tora-san giving them first aid, isn't that right, Usagi-san?" Having tightly fisted hands stuffed in his pockets, Kakashi nodded politely at Shikamaru and the rest. "I'm going to send a report back to home base; and if you would have time, Shozaku-san, we need to talk."
Baki, not being privy to what was going on or what was going to happen, smiled as he finished his job of escorting his guests to their rooms. With a bow at the waist, Baki left them in their rooms.
Usagi exhaled in annoyance and clasped Wydra by the hand and marched into the closest room and said:
"I'll cut anyone's balls off if they dare to enter." Then, dragging Wydra inside, the Rabbit-girl slammed and locked the door; expecting to administer a thorough clean up of the now budding Wydra. Shozaku nodded, yawning a little.
"Sure, we should talk in my office." he waved Kakashi into the room that Baki had led him too. While waiting for Kakashi to start up whatever it was he wanted to talk about, he reached into his pockets and started pulling out folders, various papers, blank parchment paper and writing utensils. Whatever he might act, Shozaku was still a leader and he knew what his responsibilities were, even if he shirked them from time to time.
Jake shrugged and leaned against the wall next to the door of the room that Usagi and Wydra were in. He kept his head leaned down, one hand over his face. He hoped this pose would come off as him just trying to relax, rather than people seeing him do a jutsu. He wasn't technically in the room, but he was still watching Usagi.
As a medical specialist, there wasn't anything about the body that really grossed him out, mystified him, or much that got a reaction out of him. He was just watching Usagi while his brother while his brother was gone, he paid no attention to what they were doing, just their safety.

Wydra smiled up at Usagi as she helped clean her up and get her properly dressed. A strange thing to notice was that the third of a wheel symbol for the seal was gone from her back.
"Thank you, Usagi-sama…"
"Pfft, no problem, Wydra-san, us girls need to stay presentable to the world. I am just…confused on how you've grown up like a weed in only hours."
Usagi truly didn't know any of the Wheel nin, and so took Wydra's transformation with a shrug of shoulders and moved on with life. In the ninja world, freaky things had a habit of showing up.
"The bed's there if you need to sleep." Usagi looked out the window and wondered just where Kentarou was now. This mission was growing more and more bizarre for her and now, in growing inevitability, her younger brother would – sure as water was wet – report her condition to the clan. Usagi had no idea how to stall Tora-chan from discovering her pregnancy.
Wydra nodded, moving to lie down in the bed. The next moment, Usagi would hear a shriek and feel Wydra slide around her, pointing at the bed. Laying on it was the lesser-seen and little known third brother, Jakk. His hood was drawn over his head as always, and his gloved hands were wrapped around his torso as if he'd been there, intending to sleep. He didn't appear to be breathing though, but he was definitely watching them. How'd he get in there?
Without screaming like Wydra had – hoping her threat of castration remained a deterrent to the other Konoha/Wheel males in the next room– Usagi stalked over and shoved the boy off the bed.
"Who the piss are you, kid?"

Kakashi turned to Shozaku and looked serious. "Yukari-chan didn't seem to know how she got here…or any of the mission so far. What happened to her out there?"
Whether or not Kakashi knew, or suspected, the naughty things his Yukari did with Shozaku; it didn't show in his tone.
"The same thing that happened to most of us. We all crashed and hit the ground. She just hit it on her head a little harder than the rest of us, so her memory got a little garbled for a bit. I found her, and it took me a few minutes to figure out which direction we were supposed to be going in. I don't know why she kept her injuries hidden, if she hadn't I would've been inclined to do what I could on the spot. I can't fix wounds, but I can at least bind them to stop bleeding."
If Kakashi didn't ask about any of the naughty things he might have done with Yukari, Shozaku wasn't going to break the news. While Shozaku spoke, since it seemed like he wasn't going to be accused of anything, he began to spread out papers on his bed, looking things over, making notes on a piece of paper in his hand.
Kakashi hadn't said anything more as he sat down on the bed, removed his ninja gear and placed his face in his hands. His spiky silver hair ruffled some as he just sat there.
Shozaku paused. He assumed now that Kakashi was still here that they were either going to be sharing a room, or that Kakashi had something else on his mind. He sighed, putting down his paperwork and pulling a bottle of sake out of F-ing nowhere. He poured Kakashi a tall shot-glass of it, setting it down near him, and poured himself one.
"Alright, what's going on up there?" he asked, tapping Kakashi's head with the bottom of the bottle. Kakashi looked up from his hands and smiled from under his mask.
"I'm just glad my Yukari-chan is alive, I would be severely put out if anything had happened to her." The jounin meant it too, as his visible eye had a deadly glint in it. "Those Darkness and Twisted Ninja have pestered her one too many times."
"Kakashi, their leaders are gone; hopefully dead. James is the one that seems to be running the show now, and I have no idea what those triplets are doing with the remnants of the Darkness ninja. If you plan on jumping Barokendo, you better find him now while he's weak, because on any other day you wouldn't stand a chance. Now James…you're smart, so you might be able to play on his level. The few times I fought him I had a hard time keeping up. And believe me, I know what it's like to fear for somebody's life when faced with those freaks…" Shozaku sighed, thinking of times passed.
"If you plan on doing anything about them, better get your information from me first. You're not thinking of doing anything stupid just yet, are you Hatake?"
"I'm not about to run out and attack them, if that's what you accuse me of doing." The way Kakashi stressed the 'accuse' word gave alert to Shozaku that the jounin knew something more was wrong with Yukari than amnesia. "Yukari-chan is, after all, your solidifying link to Konohagakure. I doubt the Hokage would give you such valuable ninja as an escort otherwise."
The Hatake was deadly when it came to addressing threats that set their aim on his Yukari. She was more than his temporary genin student now; and had been ever since the Sand-Sound Invasion when he rescued her from Kabuto.
"Yukari-chan seems to be embroiled in the middle of this; and so I'll support her as long as she needs it; and thus, support the Wheel Nin."
"I'm not accusing…" Shozaku stressed the word as well, stating that he wasn't going to let on to anything if Kakashi didn't start. The first step to trouble, or getting caught, was admitting anything had happened. "…you of anything. I just know what a person is willing to do when someone they care about is in a bad situation, and I'd rather somebody like that didn't die due to a lack of information." But to steer away from a potentially tense situation, he kept going on a different subject.
"Well, let's hope that particular part of her innocence doesn't have to be broken any time soon; it's never good on anybody. But this philosophy is something that can be discussed another day. Yukari's in the hospital, you should either rest there or here, but rest is what we all need right now." he said, downing his shot glass, cringing, and putting all of the paperwork in a folder.
"You're right…I'll go make my reports and check them against Shikamaru's. I'll be about in the building if you need me." Kakashi stood up and looked at the glass on the table; pondering. "Keep that there, if you will, my good man. I'll be back for it later."
Then the jounin was out the door, busying himself with jounin things.

Sheena woke up, eyes opening slowly as she lifted her head from Kankuro's shoulder and observed the room around her. She blinked, realizing the weight she'd been putting on him as he walked, and noticing there was a bed nearby so she crawled off of him and onto it. Though, there was still a lone chain wrapped around his leg, tugging him towards the bed as though she wanted him to join her.
Tora, indeed an Uzaruki, nodded politely to Yukari as took out his cutting tool and removed the remnants of her pants.
"Hi there, Yukari-chan!" Tora finally dropped the professional act and smiled his twelve-year old boy smile. "I'd ask how you're doing but I guess this blood tells it all."
"Ugh, just shut up, Tora-kun." Yukari winced as she, too, dropped a tough-girl act and exhaled tiredly. "I think I have amnesia."
"You think?" Tora's hawk, Tai, cocked a sharp eye on her. "That's real funny, Onee-san." For once the pre-teen boy was serious as Tai scanned over her half-bloody, partially nude body – nothing he hasn't seen before. "I'd use chit-chat here, but I really need you to sleep." With that, Tora pinched a neck nerve and dropped Yukari into sleep as the other awaiting Suna med-nins moved in to help.
Giving his medical mumbo-jumbo orders to the others, Tora moved to Yamira and did the same for her, telling her to not be afraid and he'd fix her right up. He wasn't sure how to handle a Suna Nin/Non-Suna Nin as Yamari was registered as. The red-headed woman sported signs of Suna, yet had come in as a Wheel kunoichi – just for the written records.
The woman also sported signed of a head blow; dazed eyes and lack of solid evidence to basic questions; such as name, what was eaten the day before, how did you get here. However, hers was much worse than his older cousin Yukari's. The woman didn't even know her name.
Tai, the hawk Tora used his basic level Akashingan on, took in much greater detail than normal human eyes. The trick was helpful to see more of the scene at once; which brought Tora up next to a palm-covered face of Kankuro as the hapless ninja sat in a chair; still chained to Sheena.
"Why the hidden face, Kankuro-senpai." Tora asked the Puppet-master before Tai the hawk turned to view Sheena with sharp, black eyes.
"I've had a hell of a day, Tora, leave me alone." Kankuro didn't lift his head to show the world his blush.
Yamira smiled down at Tora. She seemed mostly fine, her injuries were acute enough that they affected her memory severely, but she wasn't otherwise injured. She reached out a hand and ruffled Tora's hair, giggling for a moment.
"How did one so young get to be so knowledgeable?" She turned, noticing Kankuro and Sheena. "Wow…I've heard men talk about being chained down but this is new…"
If the Uzaruki boy examined her further, Tora would find that Yamira's body temperature was much higher than a human's should be. What she seemed fine with were levels that would have most in bed with a fever.
Sheena, not getting Kankuro to join her on the bed, rolled away from it and sat in his lap, curled up against him, and fell back asleep.
"Tch, I can see what you mean, Kankuro-senpai." Tora had finally inspected Auron and administered bandages on the wounds and an IV drip of fluid into the man's system. "How'd you get the chick on the chain?"
"He didn't get me on the chain, those have been here for years. I got him on my chains though. He doesn't seem to mind." She murmured, half-asleep, as she wiggled against Kankuro to get a little more comfortable.
Yamira smiled and lied back in the bed. She kept a curious glance on Tora, as if he somehow sparked a memory in her head.
"You...remind me of something…"
"Indeed, Kankuro-senpai. She's got you bad." Tora smiled.
"LIKE HELL SHE DOES!" Kankuro yanked his face away from Sheena as the dog just rolled over onto his feet. "You Konoha Ninja are all crazy!" Kankuro hissed; but did nothing to extract Sheena from him. Suddenly, an idea hit Kankuro upside the head.
"Look, girly, why don't you tell Tora here what you want…he'll be more than happy to give you whatever you need!"
Kankuro, seventeen going eighteen, was possibly seven years too old for Sheena; whereas Tora was nearly the same age. Kankuro had no prior information on Sheena before she had transformed from a kid to pre-teen; and so he didn't know her exact age.
Her only response to what Kankuro suggested was to slightly tighten the chains on him, turn her head and glare at Tora as if daring him to further anything Kankuro had said.
"He's a bit too much like my brother in some ways. and besides…you're nicer. You gave me what I needed earlier anyway, and you haven't really said you don't want me." She left out the part where that didn't matter. She had picked him, so that's what she planned on getting. Only a bit more of a…permanent dismissal, in whatever form Kankuro could give, would discourage her.
Tora's hawk Tai just crooked down and looked Sheen in the face quizzically, cocking his head to the left.
"Kankuro-senpai! The girls hate me, see?" Tora's voice was saddened as he retrieved Tai and placed the bird on a nearby metal stand. "Besides, I'm much too busy to be a normal boy. I promised the Hokage to behave; and taking a Suna ninja's girl is not behaving. I hate her anyway; she's much too beautiful and crazy."
"And I'm supposed to LET her cling to me!" Kankuro shouted.
"Kankuro-senpai, you're older, you'll figure it out." Tora sighed and turned to Yukari; whose left side had been cleaned and bound. Nodding to the older Suna med-nin, Tora allowed them to push the bed away from the wall to give him space to stand at Yukari's head.
"Sheena-sama, if you can allow Kankuro-senpai go; I can administer help to Yukari-chan here. My jutsu isn't allowed to be seen by Suna ninja outside medical purposes."
Sheena shrugged, getting to her feet. The chains retracted themselves from Kankuro, wrapping themselves once more around her body, though she did have a politely good grip on his hand with her own. Since it seemed Kankuro wasn't allowed to stay and she didn't feel in any bad condition, she was just going to leave with him. She heard the sad-tones Tora spoke with, she just didn't know him enough to care, as she wasn't that type of person. At the moment, she felt like she had what she wanted. She also wasn't the type that was impressed or flattered by words; at least not when they went without actions.
"Bye, bye, Kankuro-senpai!" Tora smiled and Tai fluttered onto the boy's head to cock a focused eye on Yukari's sleeping face. Taro placed his hands on Yukari's closed eyes and opened his chakra paths.

The kid threw up his arms and made an exaggerated motion of falling off the bed, just…in the wrong way. Usagi had pushed him backward, his body gained a mist-like quality and he rolled forward off the bed, standing up and facing the door as it slammed open. Jake had his hands to the ground as if about to do something, then screamed angrily:
"PARA-DAMN YOU JAKK, I thought I told you to stay away!"
Jakk then started talking in sign language. Just regular hand-language, no jutsus or anything. He pointed at Usagi, then at Wydra, then back and forth between himself and Jake several times as he made hand signs. He ended his silent speech with his finger pointed accusingly at Usagi.
Jake sighed angrily, rubbing his temples. "I apologize, Usagi-sama, for my brother's strange intrusion. I have refused to talk to him so he knew the only way I would speak is if I thought he would continue to disrupt your life. He has a very…important, though awkward question he wants me to ask you. If I may?"
"Uh, yea, this better be good, since I'd hate to castrate kids…" Usagi's body stance showed her annoyance.
"Yeah, it'd be funny if that could happen twice." Jake said with a twitch, and an apologetic hand gesture towards Jakk. He sighed.
"Here it goes. Since I'm not experienced enough with women at that stage, I couldn't tell him myself. He wants to know how far along you are. No, I don't know exactly why, only that he seems to think it'll calm down our brother if the answer is…good, however it might be so."
"Pft." Usagi looked oddly at the two brothers. "Tell him it's none of his business, is it Wydra? Like a girl like me would tell two pipsqueaks like you something as important as that."
Usagi walked over and sat on the bed. "I will say that I'm not Yukari, so I'm not that dumb to say secrets like that."
Jakk took a deep breath and hunched over slightly, flexing his arms. Jake face-palmed, then flicked his forehead as Jakk un-hunched, looking as though he was about to stretch his arms. The two of them seemed to exchange places, Jake with his back to Usagi and Jakk standing in the doorway facing her, arms un-stretching. As he did so, a sound like a gunshot was heard and various needles were sent into the wall behind him, exactly in the shape Usagi was currently standing as if they had been meant to pin her to the wall. Jake then reached out and flicked Jakk on the forehead, and the boy disappeared. Jake turned towards Usagi.
"I'll see if I can find out why he needed to know, but he felt like the answer was important enough to capture you for and get it out somehow. I stopped him because I'm more afraid of my older brother, and his reaction at letting you come to any sort of harm, than my younger brother. I apologize for any of the disturbances our inner-family arguments have caused. I'll be outside the door until my brother gets back. You'll know, because he doesn't respect privacy and will promptly enter the room." Jake would step outside and shut the door unless Usagi stopped him with words or actions.
"Geez, you brats are perverts…can't a girl get privacy around here!" Usagi huffed and looked at Wydra. "Go to sleep…now!"
Usagi, following her own orders, threw herself into the second bed and wrenched the covers over her. Even though it was mid-afternoon, she felt like sleeping. "Or do whatever you want to do, Wydra-san. I'll be sleeping…"
