Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Blessed Flowers. Enjoy the 6900-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.
He sighed before looking at his charge. He'd ask how the woman he was starting to get used to could function. She seemed almost hell-bent on trying to get what she wanted at the edge of the day. the woman was a lot more to question at the time being… Yes, this always seemed to need to go exactly the way he wished, even if it became more annoying than anything.
Even if it melted down entirely. He had to have been prepared for now. He seemed to have gotten what else could have done for now.
He pressed his hand to her back and tried his best to realign it. if Konan would stop trying to move before he reset it? He may have been able to get somewhere. Instead? She had to try and cause an issue. She had to do something he'd keep regretting seeing at the end of the day. She was about as stubborn as he was amused with this. There was simply nothing he could say or do that seemed to stop.
He knew so damn much about what he could say, what he should have said… But he wished to say nothing at all for now lest he insults her.
"You knew that shinobi who tried to kill you," Aoki said before he pulled away from Konan's back. "No? You seem hellbent on trying to kill him. He has to be important if you risked so much to try and kill him at the moment." Aoki stated before he hummed to himself.
"Yes," Konan stated before her friend nodded. "And you do not? You had seen his face, yet you do not recognize who that was or why they are dangerous?" Konan questioned before Aoki shook his head.
"No. I don't. if I did? I still may have picked saving you over stopping him. If there was nothing you could do? Then I damn well doubt anything I could do anything to stop him." Konan heard as Aoki frowned.
"Taking a stand is not cowardice," Konan responded.
"And dying for nothing isn't some brave end," Aoki said as he took his seat near the bed once again. "I know you want him dead; I know he's dangerous as a warrior, and I know he's bad news… You blew up an entire lake and he just walked through it…. What do you think will happen if you try and fight him again?" Aoki questioned to which she frowned.
Konan sighed and looked around the room. She knew that he was right. If Pain was still alive? He'd have stopped them; she wasn't as strong as he was. She had been lucky to walk away from him at all… Or even get carried away.
Another round would get her killed. Her promise she wished to keep, but she could not carry out that wish if she fell in battle. There was no real option but to slowly heal and make sure that Aoki could heal her, and stop her from being worried.
"Are you seriously willing to die for nothing more than because you feel like it? That's not going to help anyone as of now." Aoki said as he rolled his eyes.
She had been well aware of the fact that she was well beyond her depths. Honestly, the idea had less merit when she considered it. The idea had been something odd when it came down to it. The idea had been a lot odder before this was all said and done at the end of the day moment.
He had been a lot odder than it had been done and dusted. She had been a warrior.
He started to look at her spine, tracing his fingers over her skin as he frowned. There was a nasty gash on her lower back, a jagged stab in her flesh which told him that she had been almost killed. If she had been stabbed any deeper, any worse? She wouldn't even be standing here. If she had even a drop of wisdom about what he knew?
She'd be dead, a piece of meat that had been smashed on the ground and left for the vultures to rot. Hell, he doubted even the vultures had been an odd little thing when it came down to it.
He had been an odd medic. He had been in the thick of this either way and was doomed to repeat the dance that they had taken to trying to do… No. if he was to handle this for anyone anytime soon? It was to be decided for now on his terms, where she could not set the rules.
"Where did you learn to become a medical Nin?" Konan questioned as Aiko blinked. "If you were able to stabilize my wounds? It means your talents had to be learned from either one of the better medical doctors in town or you learned from someone outside of this city." Konan stated to which she frowned.
"Rain. The academy taught me all I know about wounds and curing them." Aiko said as Konan nodded. "You? I've seen a lot of power here, but none of them are capable of what you are capable of…" Aiko stated before he sighed and started to question.
She smirked as she realized she had gotten him to open up if only for a little bit. It had been enough to rattle his cage at least which told him something had been right. It had to be if she could joke like this without being enraged by the pain that had wracked her body.
Whatever was done next wouldn't be a problem, it'd be a nightmare, one which wasn't easily solved with warfare and combat. If she was at all what he wanted to do next. Whatever came next would be worse than this.
Konan sighed. She couldn't allow it to come to this, she couldn't let it all come to an end. This hadn't been what she had wanted, hadn't been the plan in place for them, but it was the plan that they had to follow. It was the plan that she had been given by her friend before long, what needed to be done would top this, it would top every single little thing in the area.
There was only so much she could do to this, so much she could do to handle it. She looked at Aoki who had been checking her spinal bandages were still fresh.
An odd little gesture, but one which told her a lot more than what it seemed to be. He tilted his head and looked around the room, curious as to how this had been and what to do next. The next little plan was probably learning.
Konan sat up so he could tend to her spine with more ease. The way he started to question what to do next. His nimble fingers traced over her scared flesh, interested in what to do next. The problem would end sooner or later when it came down to their moves.
She tilted her head, looking around before she rolled her eyes, curious as of now. She had questions that needed to be answered sooner or later. The only problem that could be done would be a weird little spot for now.
She tilted her head at the rest of the room. His room was very bare in terms of valuables and certain items before all of this was said and done.
He tilted his head before he tapped on part of her spine which made her wince, painful agony shooting up and done her spine. She knew that he was trying his best to reduce her pain, still. there was a lot more that she could be doing to mess with them for now. The idea that this was something that he had done before interested her, the idea that he had been familiar with her type of pain was also something before long, it would be a long time since all of this was done and dusted.
He cracked his fingers, continuing to look at her spine with all the precision he had garnered for now. It made her question what this had done before now. It was oh so much more as of now. Whatever seemed to be done next would be terrifying for her, for him. It was oh so much to question for now. the time before now.
Still? She had been a lot more in the way of questioning ideas. The idea had been something that needed to be done and dusted. The problem was, for now, they seemed to be prepared for now. What it seemed to question. Whatever for now when it seemed to be a lot more problem.
The idea had been something that needed to be questioned. They had been a lot more focused on questions. The game had been something to question.
The moment she was ready for now, whatever it seemed to tilt her head. The moment had been terrible, something that haunted her at the end of the day… A lot weirder than it had been, what it'd be. The idea had started to flow through her like venom, like a serpent that flowed and cut through it all with pain and power flowing in its wake, destroying every single little thing that festered and grew inside her. She had been walking this path for so long that she didn't even know what would happen.
Aoki continued, tapping on her flesh to which she tilted her head at him, it was something odd to see someone who had helped her so willingly, so without order or even a reward, if need be, her friend… Ally, perhaps? She didn't know what to call Aoki. Not since she was so unfamiliar with it now.
This seemed to be something that it'd been done before now. What this had been would be a nightmare, one she could be prepared for now. Whatever came next? She'd tackle it, she'd always tackle it as that was what she was good at dealing with such a fantasy, such an idea that needed to be contained. The more she fought? The more she saw that sooner or later? She'd be cut down, reduced to more wheat in the field than could be properly harvested.
"You take pride in your talents as a warrior," Konan stated to which there was a hum. "And part of me assumes you find the idea of taking life abhorrent?" Konan added to which Aoki fell silent, all too familiar with it.
"I take pride in providing for Rain even if I'm nothing. I'm still part of the whole." Aoki said before he frowned. "I have no power to contain you here. If you wish to pursue that masked man? All I can do is warn you will most likely die. Then? Rain will slowly fade away, probably be consumed in gang wars as Shinobi slaughter each other to determine who will be the next leader." Aoki added.
"You're blackmailing me emotionally," Konan said to which he shrugged. "You are enough of a shinobi to admit that, aren't you?" Konan questioned as he shrugged once more.
The idea was planted in his brain, it was a weapon, a tool. Shinobi used them all at the end of the day, no real tool was beyond reproach, nothing out of bounds for them. It might have made his trainer proud if they didn't at all care for what needed to be done and dusted. It was a part of life, they mastered it and moved on.
Konan knew that there was more to have for now. She didn't know what to do next. There would be time enough for now. She didn't know what. He sighed before he tilted his head at her, questioning what to do next. There was more on the horizon if he did anything. It would have been something else as of now. She hadn't yet focused as of now. There was a lot more to focus on now. a lot more to unpack.
He sighed, tilting his head and then looking down at the idea, there was just too little for her to hum, making him tilt his head at Konan as he considered his options.
"Please don't make this a giant all-and-out brawl, if you do something. you know I can't do anything to stop you. I can only suggest that you stay here." Aoki stated before he rubbed at his temples, only tilting his head before he turned back to look around.
Konan sighed but made no real move to escape. There was more on the idea, a lot more to focus upon before now. If she was honest? The idea had little to no real collection for now. There was something else in the wind and she couldn't afford to look weak. She wouldn't look weak, not now, but not the way she would have been… Well, for now? She was only going to spin more and more out of control.
"I don't like the idea that I may or may end up losing, you know. People may die, are you prepared to deal with that blood on your hands." Konan stated while she hummed, looking around as she looked around, tilting her head as she hummed, questioning what to have done next. There was more to this, something she wasn't on about now. There was a lot more to question.
"I'll deal with that. I can live knowing that at least, it will still be better than dealing with losing a ninja we can't live without." Aoki stated before he clicked his fingers together.
Konan sighed and started to have stayed silent. She could tell he was trying not to lose his temples before now. There was more to focus on before he seemed to focus on the work for now. There was a lot more on her plate, but it had something more for now.
She tilted her head at her friend before now while he slowly started to think before now. There was a lot more to question as now.
Is anything else? There was a lot more to think of now before he questioned what to handle at the moment this still made him tilt his head before he sighed.
He hummed before he questioned what to do next as of what to do next. He sighed, looking at the woman as he raised an eyebrow. There was something else as of now what to handle before now. It had yet to go as far as she assumed. It had been… Odd, so odd to which she could not go onwards for some time. It hadn't yet gotten to where it should have been. There had been such a thing when she considered it.
There was a lot worse. It had been a lot worse and she had considered a lot more than before yet seemed to have gotten it when it was all done and dusted.
"I'm going to have gotten with these problems," Konan stated to which he hummed before he hadn't yet questioned to which questioned to it.
"There will be something else to this," Aiko stated before he sighed, he tilted his head. "We're going to have gotten this was a lot more to have gotten through to this. You will not be ready to awaken for several hours." Aiko stated before he seemed to question what seemed to have gotten to it.
"I'm going to get through this war," Aiko said before he seemed to have gotten through to it. "I do know that this will be harder than you expect it to have been," Aiko said while he taped up and down her spine.
"We both know something worse will worse with it…" Konan seemed to have questioned for now. "We need to get done with this… I'm sure that there will be a nightmare." Konan seemed to be prepared to question for now.
"We both know what this will bring. And I know that you will be loyal enough to have carried out my plan, then?" Konan asked as she slowly sat up and allowed him to work on her spine.
"If by that you mean you want me to help you? I'll do what I can to help the city… I'm going to assume you won't throw me off a cliff the second to have seen you die easily?" Aiko asked as she sighed, looking around with interest. "We're going to need to be quick about… Please stop moving, please stop. I don't want to damage the stitching. These are some of the last I have and I would like to make better use of them than nothing." Aiko said as he continued to work on her scar.
She felt her delicate fingers slowly start to dance down his spine. She smiled before he began to tug at her flesh, making it as if he was trying to perform poetry. It would have made her laugh if she didn't realize that it hurt like hell to stitch up her skin properly. It hurt a lot worse when he started to have tugged her flesh closed.
He only sighed heavily, knowing that she was a lot worse than she looked. She was stubborn. It was very stubborn to have seen her in such a state, however. He knew more and more that she wished to be that way. Well? He could be just as damn stubborn as her. He at least would have known his limits and made no damned efforts to push such a thing upon which they had formed this utopia and how they could have handled it. Such things only served to have gotten to such a degree. It had been so terrifyingly harmful that it was destroyed before it came down to it.
There was a lot funnier thing to have gotten when it came down to it.
He sighed as he looked at the nasty flesh wound where the Kunai had torn her flesh. The weapon had turned it down deeper when it came down to it when it seemed to have gotten worse before he seemed he questioned what else would have happened.
This problem was something he didn't understand. He didn't know that this seemed to have been something odd for the time being. He hadn't yet gotten where he should have and he knew she could have before it was all said and done.
"You are a gifted Surgeon, aren't you?" Konan questioned before Aiko hummed and tilted his head "There will be a need for surgeons like you if you're ok with such a thing." Konan stated that she still seemed to have gotten prepared before now.
"If you're going to say that? Then you're going to have to deal with the fact that you're going to be just as important." Aiko said before he sighed to himself.
Aiko knew more than just what he'd have been doing, what she'd have done if she got up. He pulled down her robe a little to look at the cut at the base of her spine. It had been something that bothered her. She didn't know what to have been or what to have done before she seemed to raise her eyebrow.
"What are you doing with all due respect?" Aiko heard as he planted a stitch within part of her cut and started to sow it shut slowly.
"I need to look at your skin to stitch it up, sorry. I should have warned you about that's why I took off your robe." Aiko said while he shook his head. "I'm also sorry, patching up your back will be a LOT worse than it seemed to be," Aiko said while he sighed before long.
He knew for a fact that she'd be able to relax if she was tired. She leaned back which almost made him drop the needle which he had in his hands. She had yet seemed to have to recover as he tried to push her up so she didn't get hurt.
"I'm sorry. I felt a pain." Aiko heard as he shrugged.
"Maybe I should fix your ears next because that's what I said would," Aiko said while he shook his head before he tilted his head.
"And yet I haven't wanted to cut you before it comes down to it." Aiko heard Konan state as she tilted her head to the side, there was a lot more to have gotten wrong.
He put the needle down and looked at the scared and horrible flesh when he sighed.
He didn't know what was going on, he didn't know what this was going to bring, what he did know was that she had been scaring him to a massive degree. There were problems to which he could not have offered to have questioned this.
"I'm going to guess that something will have to give," Aiko said before he clicked his fingers against the top of his head.
"We're all going to be able to relax sooner or later, won't we?" Konan asked as her friend shrugged, too thrown off by such a thing.
It hadn't yet gotten to where he almost wanted to have screamed. He smirked at her, a tilt of his head before she sat up, almost making him roll his eyes as he did so.
"Stop, you're going to get yourself killed. I need to make sure that your stitches will tear like those papers you use." Aiko said before he clicked his fingers against one another. "And I'm going to guess that there will be a few problems. You always want there to be problems because you're risking our stitches apart." Aiko stated before he questioned her.
"Are you going to baby me?" Konan asked with a smirk before she seemed to tap at him with her fingers.
"Yes, if you're going to rip the stitches? I will. I told you not to rip them and you want to rip them. I'll be bothered at the moment if you don't rip them." Aiko said before he shook his head. "Are you properly more ok with this for now?" Aiko said while he tilted his head.
"This is far more amusing when it comes down to it, you know. Much more amusing. Sometimes I honestly assume you wish for me to be hurt more." Konan said while she tapped her fingers on her arms before she tilted her arms.
"And there's a lot worse things here besides my wounds. You're going to have to stitch back up a few more times." Konan stated before she sighed and she tilted her head to the side, blinking her eyes as she did so.
"You're an impossible woman to deal with," Aiko said before he clicked his fingers and cracked him. "I'm going to guess that there will chaos. There will be problems with this. I need to check and make sure they didn't rip apart… This is the second time I've had to say this, to begin with." Aiko said as he rubbed at his temples and picked up the needle to have continued, too unsure as of now.
He didn't know what she'd do, he didn't know what else this would have been if he let her go. It'd be a nightmare if she was crazy enough to have gone after the guy who had been in a state of unrest for the time being. This problem wasn't going to have gotten where he expected it to have been for now.
He pressed a finger to one of her spinal vertebrae which extracted a small gasp of pain from her as he sighed and looked at her. His eyes narrowed as he continued to work with the precision only a physician of his caliber was capable of.
"You are battered into this damn shape and you want to go hunting," Aiko muttered as he ran a hand down her spine, tapping each spinal piece in time. "You're not even in shape to get out of damn bed, Konan," Aiko said before he sighed mentally and continued his work.
Konan went to speak before she felt a cold finger press right under the base of her wound. She gasped as Aiko sighed and pulled out a bit more thread before he pulled the entire spool around her body.
"Bite this, please," Aiko said to which she did so.
He pulled the needle through her skin which made her gasp as he fixed the stitches there. It would heal, he knew damn well there might be a scar, but it'd heal, every single little thing on her would heal nicely. It was just a matter of time or effort to have done so for the time being.
He broke the thread and then picked up the piece of needle and placed it on the table next to him. Aiko hummed before he shook his head and then continued to run his fingers down her spine.
"That kunai pierced your skin in the thoracic region of your spine. If you don't know that?" Aiko said before pressing a finger to the TH5 and TH4 parts of her spine. "That's the part that controls your arms and legs. Do you want to know how bad it is if you tore those stitches? You might lose the ability to WALK simply because you want to keep pushing yourself… Even if you wanted to." Aiko stated before he shook his head.
"I apologize," Konan said as Aiko hummed to himself before he sighed to himself. "Aiko? Do you mind if I ask you a personal question? I will retract it if you don't find it worth answering." Konan said to which Aiko hummed.
"If it will stop you from tearing your stitches before they set in? Ask me anything." Aiko said while he ran his hands through his hair.
"What caused you to take up the mantle of a doctor? Not many shinobi prefer that career path." Konan questioned to which Aiko frowned.
"Because I care about my community and the people within it, Konan," Aiko said before he returned his hands to her pale skin. "I've seen what war and sickness will do to people, lived through some of it here myself. I guess I just decided I'd try and take some of the sufferings out of it then add more to it." Aiko stated to which he'd have snorted at it.
He didn't at all seem to have done something that contorted to such a thing before long. His world was all coming down for now and then. He didn't even know what she'd have done for now.
"I'm sorry," Konan said to which he shrugged. "Your hands are very cold… You've spent all day making sure my wounds were dressed, haven't you?" Konan asked as Aiko sighed.
"If you could see your back? There are about 4 stitches right where he had put a kunai in your back. I had checked your front and found several bruises that might have caused internal bleeding if I hadn't wrapped them." Aiko said to which she blinked. "I'm sorry… Yes, I have. I couldn't bear the idea a patient might die on me." Aiko said to which he sighed.
"Your concern is thanked… But I'd be happy if my doctor didn't find themselves." Konan added as Aiko rolled his eyes. "I promise not to go anywhere as long as you promise to get 4 hours of sleep, deal?" Konan questioned as Aiko sighed.
"Fine… But if you get up? Wake me up first…" Aiko said before he looked at Konan. "If it sets your mind at ease? I'll write a letter to the Hokage and tell them that there's a danger to them. Whoever went after you already thinks you're dead. Even if you want to go for round two? They're going to make sure you STAY DEAD if you go again." Aiko said before he resumed his work as he resumed his work.
Aiko had fallen silent, too unsure of what to have said, what to have done about this and how well it'd have been like for now when such ideas died down and then out.
He sighed and returned to his work, grizzly and awkward as it was. it still served a purpose which he knew partly meant they had been needed, the nadir of his work was important and he had other problems which meant he didn't have time for chitchat.
Ok, it was a lie, but something he needed perfect focus on, something he didn't damn well think he'd be able to have done.
Konan felt his fingers go under the wrappings on her body, making her shudder as she looked at him, a frown and an apologetic expression which meant that he had to work quickly.
"Sorry, continue," Konan said to which Aiko hummed and resumed as he traced his fingers over fading scars and small shallow cuts the kunai had made when it had entered her.
He damned the man who had done so but was glad he had been so arrogant enough to believe her easily killed. If he had been even a fraction better? He'd be bringing her to a morgue.
Konan said nothing as his fingers went under the wrappings preserving what modesty she had. She was a shinobi; such feelings were stupid.
He still pressed cold fingers to her skin, making her wince as he snorted, keeping a laugh within him.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Aiko heard as he shrugged, a smirk crossing his pale lips as he did so now.
He said nothing as he made sure her incisions wouldn't tear. The slightest rip in the cuts would have horridly crippled her, the blood loss? Infection? There were some things only the best medical Jutsu would have solved and it was clear only that point outwards.
He wasn't sure of what to have to do. It just wasn't much to him; he knew more than anything that it was just going to end one way and ONLY one way as this was the way it'd always go when push came to shove.
Konan settled down for a second as he pressed his pointer finger to her scar.
"Does it hurt?" Aiko asked to which she nodded. "I'm sorry. it will fade mostly. I'll see to any other wounds you have… However? I'd like you to be awake for those two reasons. One is I want to see if they cause any other pain than my prognoses believe and the other is…" Aiko started to say to which she had fallen silent.
"You need to examine my body fully which means possibly checking areas you would find uncomfortable," Konan added to which he nodded awkwardly. "Very well… Aiko, you are a shinobi, no? I see no reason seeing me in such undress would cause much cause for concern." Konan said to which the medical ninja rolled his eyes.
"You're not the one who has to deal with the awkwardness," Aiko said before he sighed. "If you need? I'll be done in another 10 minutes. That monster did most of the damage to your spine which is where most of my attention needs to be. Does this hurt?" Aiko asked as he sighed to himself.
"Thank you," Konan said to which Aiko blinked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I thank you for your actions. I'm glad you're willing to risk so much to care for me. I hope you respect my abilities as a leader and warrior and haven't so far been betrayed by my actions." Konan said as Aiko shrugged.
"You're as much a symbol here as one of the Kage, Konan. If you died? This damn cesspit of a city will go back to being a scumbag town." Aiko stated before he shook his head and looked at her with a frown. "I know what you are, Konan if that's what you're worried about. I don't entirely care, that's done and dusted and I don't hold the past against you at all." Aiko stated to which the woman had fallen entirely silent, not without proper views.
He'd not well get such things against him for now when it came down to it. He didn't know what to have done or how else this was going to have gone or how little this was to have ended. Something else to have gone before he questioned as he looked around before he looked up for the time being.
He hadn't a lot more to have questioned before he shook his head before he clicked his neck and he looked before he sighed to himself. He didn't know to have focused upon first if not her back.
Aiko looked to see if Konan was ok to which she gave a nod, allowing the man to continue to go ahead with his research. It was clear that she had been in an odd situation like this before and was simply going through the motions.
"You're lucky he was cocky enough to think that stab would have been fatal. I don't even want to know what your insides are like or could have been." Aiko stated before he shook his head. "I think I finished the stitches for today. This hurts on a scale of one to ten?" Aiko asked before he pressed a finger to the center of her spine.
Konan gasped in pain for a second which made Aiko hum, too uncertain of what to have done next. It was clear that she had been out of this for the time being. it was entirely clear that he found some enjoyment as the pain wore off as he continued to trace his cold and worn fingers over her pale and scarred skin.
"You are enjoying the fact you are cold, aren't you?" Aiko heard from Konan as he chuckled. "I will flip your bed over while you sleep if you continue to do that," Konan said before he pressed a hand to her shoulder.
"Ok, that time was just to pay you back for not listening," Aiko said as she glanced at him with anger written all over her face. "I told you that if you don't want to listen? You are going to tear your stitches and then guess what? You don't get to take walking for granted… That, and it's funny seeing you get cold for a second every time I do something." Aiko stated before he sighed.
Konan was about to say something before she felt five cold fingers on her spine which made her gasp, gripping the table in her rage as she looked at him, a measure of amusement across his face.
"I will… Get payback for that." Konan said as Aiko shrugged. "You find enjoyment in that? Fine… It was funny, but if you do that again? I will do the same… And I will not simply offer you the pleasure of mercy when it came down to it." Konan added to which Aiko nodded.
"Only if you take my advice seriously," Aiko said before he rolled his eyes. "You should be good to sleep, Konan. Long as you don't do anything hectic? You should be fine to go to sleep. I'll get out of your hair for now and let you think for now about what to have done." Aiko stated before he sighed and looked down at the ground, too amused as he looked around.
He slowly entirely climbed to his feet before he shook his head and looked around before he sighed, too mentally checked out of this issue for the time being when it came down to it. They had more pressing concerns to have to focus on when it was all over.
He didn't at all say much as he sat to the side, allowing Konan to lay downwards which she did. It was entirely clear such problems had only served to have caused worse more and more and more. It was odd, something else when it came down to it. Perhaps their issues wouldn't have been so easy to have solved, it'd be something at least and something was what they had all gone for.
Konan left her robe on the chair as she laid back down and yawned, clearly tired but unwilling to let Aiko have the satisfaction of knowing that she'd be able to have been focused when it came to it. they'd have such problems with it all coming crashing down more and more until it all came crashing downwards when it came down it. It was entirely clear that their problems weren't going to have been over when it was all down to it.
He hadn't yet to find out what was wrong with her when it came down to it. It was clear that they had both problems to have solved.
"How long until you can work on my spine again?" Konan questioned to which he had shrugged as he looked around and hadn't seemed to have fallen apart.
She didn't get an answer before it seemed to set in, he wasn't entirely silent as to how this could have played out.
It was a lot more to have focused upon while she looked around before she sighed to herself and thought of what to have done next.
"Not sure, the best I can promise is whenever I get back up from sleeping that I'll try and look it over." Konan heard from Aiko as she nodded. "I am serious too much straight will end up with your back probably snapping. That cut was deep enough to almost cut through bone and tendon… And it's something." Aiko stated before he sighed to himself and looked around, too unsure of what to have done next, too scared as she laid herself down to rest and remembered that he'd probably have to deal with such things sooner or later.
She laid her head downwards and then pondered what to have done when she awoke. It was all too much that such problems had yet to surface sooner or later.
"If you need me? Don't be afraid to come and get me. I will get up at the moment if I can. I just don't know what to do if I don't get up on time." Aiko stated to which he didn't at all lie.
He didn't at all know what would come if he didn't at all question things… It was entirely clear such problems would have to have resolved themselves with such issues and such issues seemed to have resolved themselves for now. They had so much more to have done and said for now that it bothered them.
He yawned, too interested in what to have done next. Aiko sighed and turned back to his notes as Konan laid down to try and get sleep. He didn't pity the idea she couldn't. it didn't seem like ANYONE in town could sleep… Perhaps because this damn town was a cesspit that only Konan seemed to be kept above water. If anything? All this did was remind him why he had sunk so much effort into trying to keep her alive. It was becoming set in stone that Konan held answers only he could understand.
Perhaps that and another reason was why he had such a problem that he had to have focused upon. Konan was too ready for now, too unsure and uncertain for now while this came down to it… He didn't at all question what to focus on next.
Author Notes
Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out next chapter will be in 2-10 months and will show both Konan and Aiko talking more and such. The next chapter will be 900-6500 words and such. Until then, Lighting Wolf is out!
