LOVE LIFE DREAM
Yayz! Chapter nine! Ok wow...it is really hot outside.
Enjoy! If you have any questions I will answer them.
To heal
I entered the emergency room with the medical team. They were struggling to place Hinata on the surgical table while I was washing my hands, tying up my hair and fitting into a sterile robe.
"Gently!" I warned them.
"Ma'am!" they said and placed her on the table.
"Monitor her heart rate!" I briskly ordered as they did so quickly but efficiently.
I scanned her torso with my chakra and frowned. Her heart was erratic, the sternum was broken, her lungs were damaged, and her veins were tightening, if something wasn't done now she was going to go into cardiac arrest!
"You! I need you to help me on this one!" I said motioning to the head of the team.
"Yes Ma'am!" he saluted.
"Misaki" I corrected him.
"Yes Misaki-san what do you need me to do?" he asked.
"ok when I say I need you to use your healing hands to open up her veins so the blood flows with more ease, while I try to refit the sternum which was broken and nearly prodding her heart. This is all done with chakra and it might take a while so I'm warning you ok!" I said activating my healing hand again.
He nodded.
"Now" I said nodding he eased the veins open slowly as I concentrated on keeping the sternum away from the heart and place it back to where it is supposed to go.
It took a while but we were done with Hinata's surgery.
Only fifteen and already a doctor. I thought sitting outside the ER.
I then realized that Kiba should be here as well, he'd probably want to know how Hinata was. Seriously, I would think that Kiba has a crush on Hinata, really!
I walked around reading each room's plates till I finally came across Inuzuka Kiba.
"Hey!" I walked in to the room with a wave.
"Eh? Misaki-nee? What are you doing here? Actually how is Hinata doing? Neji beat her up didn't he? Man I'm gonna kill him!" Kiba scowled his eyes flaming.
"I actually came with news about Hinata. I'm the one who helped operate on her, it wasn't too much damage on the outside and it was mostly inside so we did a closed operation with only chakra. Any ways she is safe and is resting in room ….149? or was it 194. no I think it was 49...no I'm pretty sure it's 100. no this room is 100." I pondered on what room Hinata was assigned to.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just glad she is safe. But what happened for her to go into operation?" Kiba asked.
"Well~" I told him about the Hyuuga battle. Kiba's face twisted into rage. He tried to stand but I pushed him back into the bed.
"Yea right, if you start to move now, You'll have a hell of a head ache for a month. Don't worry Naruto will beat the crap out of Neji and bring him some sense too" I said sitting down on a chair.
"Ha Naruto?" Kiba said with a look.
"He beat you didn't he? Plus he doesn't know when to give up either so I think he will be able to beat Neji." I "Predicted" and Kiba nodded agreeing.
"Hey! I passed!" Naruto barged in "Kiba the Finals are in a month. You better come watch me kick Neji's ass!" Naruto said grinning.
"Yea ok I will. You better beat the crap out of him!" Kiba said burning with fire.
"I will!" Naruto also in cased by his own fire.
"And I'll see you in a month ok?" I said leaving. "Don't get into any trouble!" I warned as I popped back in for a second.
"What about my Ramen!" I could hear Naruto whine.
"Misaki-nee!" I turned and saw Sakura standing in the hall.
"Hi Sakura" I smiled "Do you need something?" I asked hoping it wasn't about ramen.
"Um... Misaki-nee, how is Hinata?" she asked.
"Safe, she just needs lots of rest." I said walking past her and patting her head.
"I'll see you in a month" I waved as I left the hospital and headed towards the Hokage mansion.
I entered the building and knocked on the door, once, twice, three times before the door opened and inside the office was the Hokage and two ANBU.
"Is there a problem Misaki-san?" the Hokage asked.
"no" I said knowing full well that there was going to be an invasion in a month.
"Then why are you here?" the Hokage asked again.
"I'd like a mission please. Something that will take me at the least a month to complete" I said specifically.
"And why a month?" the Hokage asked.
"in that month I need to get stronger so why not a mission?" I said.
There was silence as the Hokage stared at me as if questioning my reason. "Very well, tomorrow morning you will receive your mission. Then you are to leave that evening" he said shifting though the paper on his desk.
"Yes sir" I spoke, my voice monotone and blank. I bit my lip as I left the room, the eyes of the ANBU following my every movement. I had a plan, a self-forced mission. The mission being; making sure not to ruin the path of this world. The whole existence of me being close to those whose lives will be changed could alter fate.
Ha I'm starting to sound like destiny boy Neji.
This month will be critical for team 7, and the other genin. It would be best if I was not around.
"Misaki-nee!" Naruto called from behind me.
"What is it Naruto?" I asked turning to him I really did hope he forgot about the ramen.
"Train me! Kakashi sensei won't train me; he's training Sasuke instead and he left my training in the care of Closet perv!" Naruto complained.
"Ebisu you mean. Don't worries be patient; patience will be your reward." I said placing my index finger to my lips and smirking playfully.
"It's not fair!" Naruto whined.
"Life's not fair. Well I'll see you in a month" I said poofing away.
I headed to my room and opened the door. In the flat was Kabuto, reading a book of fair volume.
"What do you intend to do" he commanded an answer.
"I'm in no obligation to tell you. You are already under the watch of Konoha as a spy. Interacting with you will just make myself seem suspicious" I talked back with a hint of aggression.
"and should you tell me these things? you are almost warning me" Kabuto said not looking up.
"Don't play innocent, you practically told Konoha you are a spy after that attack attempt on Sasuke" I said grabbing a glass of water from the kitchen.
"Well then, let me tell you this. That boy will become the new vessel for Orochimaru-sama. You cannot do anything to stop that." Kabuto hissed.
I glared at him "And since when did I ever tell you that I was going to stop you or that bastard? You should get your ears checked." I retired to my room and fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning and took a shower. The warm water felt nice as it seemed to wash my worries away.
I stepped out the steam filling the room making the air heavy and moist. Pulling on my clothes and drying my hair, I pulled my hair into a high pony tail, my bangs loose.
Today I left though my balcony not desiring another meeting with the sound nin. I raced towards the Hokage's office the dawn coloring the sky gray as the sun slowly rose.
I crashed into someone as I neared the Hokage's mansion. It was A-chan.
"Where were you?" A-chan asked annoyed. "Yesterday was the final test."
"yea and yesterday was also the third exam prelims" I retorted and stood up brushing dirt from my clothes.
"that is no excuse to not attend the final test" A-chan said starting to get bitchy.
"I was also operating on a patient" I replied narrowing my eyes.
"Oh...how was it?" A-chan suddenly lost her anger.
I lowered my eyes and decided to make her worry a bit "she died" I said with a monotone voice. I tried heard not to laugh and when a small snicker passed my lips she mistaken me for crying.
"Oh I'm sor-" A-chan started but I intervened "I lied"
"WHAT?" A-chan's anger sky rocketed.
"Anyways I'm late to receive my mission. Bye" I said leaving the woman alone to fume.
I entered the office of the Hokage's and saw a small group inside. I tilted my head in question looking at each member.
"Misaki-san, this is your team. Your leader is Shu Khati" the Hokage said motioning to the man standing to my right.
"Nice to meet you Shu-san" I said shaking his hand.
"nice to meet you too Ken-san, it is an honor to be in the presence of one of Konoha's finest Iryo-nin" he said bowing.
Shu-san had light brown shaggy hair and blue eyes, he looked about 23 around Iruka's age.
"This is Honoka Mira" the Hokage motioned to a woman with straight black hair that reached to the small of her back, she seemed not much older than myself. She had green eyes and radiated kindness from her being.
"Nice to meet you Honoka-san" I bowed.
"Call me Mira. Nice to meet you too Ken-chan" she smiled.
"Please call me Saki" I said smiling back.
"I'm Mori Cora nice to meet you Saki!" a boy about my age as well said with a wide grin. He had dusty blonde hair and amber eyes.
"nice to meet you Mori-san" I said bowing.
"Aww…don't be so formal actually just call us by our first names!" the Mori-san said excitedly.
I looked at each gaining a nod in agreement.
"Thank you Khati, Mira, Cora" I grinned as they grinned back.
"Now for your mission. Well first this is normally a four man squad but since one of the members are sick you Misaki are going to fill in for him. So you must go into Iron country which is past the land of earth. There you will give this scroll to the head shinobi who will be waiting at the rendezvous spot in Hana-town. There you will receive more information and continue the mission." The Hokage said pulling out a scroll from his desk.
"About how long will this mission take?" Mira asked.
"At the most a month. At the least three weeks so travel light we'll always be on the road" Khati said accepting the scroll and putting it in his pouch.
"Be careful, this is an A-rank mission and the information is vital so protect it!" the hokage sternly eyed us, each of us nodding in turn.
"Dismissed!" he said waving us off.
We left the room and the four of us started to talk.
"So, I think we should meet at the gate at 5pm, right now it's 7:30 am so you have 9 hours and thirty min. remember we will be on the road for at the least three weeks" Khati said and disappeared.
"So Saki! Want some breakfast? We met pretty early in the morning and I didn't get to eat. I bet you didn't either" Cora said smiling like an idiot.
"I didn't but I have to pack up some things" I said shaking my head.
"You just want to go on a date with her" Mira said prodding Cora in the side.
"What? No! I'm just being friendly!" Cora argued.
"Ha-ha-ha. Sorry but I really need to pack." I said backing up a bit from their soon to happen fight.
"Then have lunch with us! At the Dango shop!" Mira offered.
"Ummm..sure why not?" I said smiling.
"Meet us there at 1!" Cora yelled as I walked off. I waved in acknowledgement to that I heard.
When I arrived back home to the flat I entered though my balcony as I did this morning. Picking up the extra pouch I placed it at my hip. The kunai/shuriken pouch I placed on my right thigh.
I looked at myself in the wall mirror. I was comfortable with this but question is that will it bulge out and cause a handicap for me in battle?
I checked and nodded understanding everything was secure. Taking everything off I went through my clothes. Knowing that up north would be colder and that we were also going to be moving a lot I decided to pack my things in scrolls.
So I packed four t-shits. All either black or dark blue, and three shorts either black or beige. Also I added under garments, a cloak, extra shoes, a light jacket, and a pair of capris and a sweater.
Unfastening my medical pouch I opened it up and emptied its contents onto my desk.
I saw that there was three rolls of gauze, two needles of antibiotics, a scroll that contained fresh herbs, 10 solider pills, a medical kit with scalpels and other pointy and blunt objects. There was also a bottle of pills, after reading the label I learned it was painkillers, there were also several small vials; separated from each other.
Some of those vials were poison and some antidotes.
I then opened my pouch and emptied that as well. All my kunai, shuriken, paper bombs, smoke bombs, and sebon fell out.
I took out my holster and emptied that as well. More kunai, shuriken and sebon fell out.
Sighing I replaced the tools back into the holster and added more shuriken from the pouch as well as kunai. I then added a roll of cord into the pouch and strung some paper bombs on a length of cord.
I turned to my book shelf and brought out two scrolls. In one I sealed in books and scrolls of medical jutsus and other medicinal books, as well as a few light readers. In the second I sealed in some paper, pencils, and an extra medicine tool bag which had surgical tools, sterile wipes, empty vials, antibiotics, an extraction pot and an herb grinder.
When I placed everything on me it seemed light and moveable enough for me.
I took another shower knowing this could be my last shower for a while.
When I came out I noticed it was already 12:30. Hurrying I got dressed and headed out, all my gear on me as I leapt out thought the window. I had left a note on my desk saying
I'm off on a mission, I'll be gone for a month. Don't miss me too much Kabuto-nii.
As a mock note and another incase team seven haven't heard about my mission saying
I'm off on a month long mission. Naruto don't dare come into my room after this and if you do, I'll make sure you never come into my room ever again.
I headed down towards the Dango place and saw Cora and Mira waiting.
"sorry was I late?" I asked knowing my punctuality was almost as worse as Kakashi's.
"No we just got here too." Cora said. I faced north and looked at the shadow of a electrical pole. I was late, late by 10-15 minutes.
"I'm late." I said looking back at Cora who looked away.
"I told you she was that type!" Mira said to Cora.
"What type?" I asked.
"the type that is smart and knowledgeable" Mira said nodding.
"no I'm not, if I was then I would have been here at the right time" I said laughing.
"true" Cora stated.
"Let's have lunch, I'm starved" Mira said pushing us into the dango shop.
We ate and hung out till it was 4pm and we slowly made our way to the gate arriving there with 10 minutes to spare. Khati was already there waiting talking to Izumo and Kotetsu.
"Hey! Squirt how are you? Not getting into any trouble are you?" Kotetsu said patting my head.
"I should think you would get into more trouble than I" I said with a smirk.
"Ha! Kotetsu she's right I think you would get into more trouble than she does" Izumo said laughing.
"ha ha, very funny Izumo. Well we heard you part of this team on the month long mission. If you miss the final exam we can fill you in" Kotetsu offered.
"you make it sound like we won't make it on time. Don't worry Kotetsu, we'll be back soon." I promised "Plus I promised Naruto that I'd watch him kick Neji's ass!" I said punching the air over me.
"You mean that Naruto beating the Neji Hyuuga? Yeah right" Izumo laughed as if it was the joke of the century which it probably was.
"Hey! Naruto will and you will all be in shock! Just don't die from a heart attack though" I said confidently.
"sure and don't be so downhearted when he loses Misaki" they said exchanging looks.
"Whatever. Well we have to go. Don't miss us too much" I said waving as we left.
"you know Izumo and Kotetsu?" Khati asked.
"Corse they were part of the first exam like I was" I said nodding.
"ok. Well we're running all though the night and resting though the day. This scroll is important and we cannot lose this" Khati said.
"Give it to Misaki. That way we can protect two at once" Cora suggested.
"Good idea, Saki! Here catch!" Khati threw the scroll at me and I caught it with ease.
"I'll keep it safe" I promised as I put it in the hidden pocket in my pouch
