I'd never really considered myself a teacher.

I was never the type. But I enjoyed this - I enjoyed merely watching others put their practice to work in order to try and increase their skills. Where a lot of the people that I'd taught briefly in the past were now fully fledged medics, honing their skills most days in order to help tend to the ill and injured of the village, it was always heart warming to see people only beginning their journey. I'd visited the shinobi academy in the village previously, only to see an interesting proportion of students, both male and female, who were interested in becoming medical shinobi. Perhaps it was my infulence over the village which had shaped such a generation, I wasn't sure, but it seemed as if I was doing something right, at least. However - all this was before the meeting I'd called a few day ago which had provoked mixed opinions from the people of Kusagakure. Would their opinions remain the same of me? Or would this entirety distort the nature of their inspiration? Would they pull their children away from becoming medical shinobi in fear that I turn them in to lumbering demons? I wasn't sure, and perhaps I was merely overthinking the situation, but the day had truly been a stressful one, and nothing could take the memory of my own people turning against me away from me. I could only hope that they get over it and decide to rethink their entire options. Was it worth it? I had sworn to Kouketsu my allegience to the village, and by now I'd come to trust him enough to know that he wouldn't try anything. And if he did.. then I wasn't too sure about what I would do - and to be honest, I didn't want to think about it either.

But as I watched now at the previously shy brunette, she didn't seem .. interested at all in what had happened - or did she even know? I didn't doubt that she did, as news tended to move fast in the village. Perhaps it was merely my own staff who chose not to divulge their opinion for the sake of keeping their jobs. I didn't even know any more, but it was nice to at least believe that they simply respected me enough to not matter about such things. She seemed.. much more confident than she had been previously, her position having now changed in order to heal her arm which had also been broken during the fall. Silence continued to fall in the area as I watched, and although I wasn't too sure about the lack of communication that was happening between her and her patient, it would be a lie to say that she didn't seem as if she was doing her best with keeping her healed. It was multitasking, of course, and it was something that she'd gain with time during her experiences with healing humans who despite being injured, would be more than capable of having a conversation. And of course for the more drastic time wherein she'd be working in a team full of medics to heal somebody. With so many instructions and so many people; communication was necessary to prevent messing up, and although she seemed weak at it at the moment, I didn't doubt that it would be something that would just come to her with prolonged work and practice.

The delicate bone structure of the patient she was working on was being repaired with each moment that passed by in the ward, and although the speed of her healing wasn't as quick as my own, I was content with how tentative she was being. "..Alright.." I heard her murmur a single word, and my gaze flew to her features, watching then as she drew away her hands from the woman's body, having finished healing the broken bone that had once troubled her. "You're all healed up. You may feel a bit sore for a day or so - but it'll go away." with reassurance given to the patient, the woman on the bed gave her an appreciative smile. "If you experience any more trouble - please book yourself in for another appointment." of course - by looking at thee patient herself she seemed more at ease now that the pain her body had subsided, so that was proof enough that the girl had done something right. Approaching the patient myself, the soft white glow of my hands would begin to appear once more as I glided it carefully a few inches away from the body of the woman, checking what had been done. I felt no pull from the technique I was using - saying that there wasn't any damage left to heal. Taking away my hand, I'd then turn to look at the brunette, who's hands were currently fumbling, her fingers knotting together as she watched me inspect the work that she'd done. Her eyes were, however - strong and watchful, not .. sensitive as I'd figured they would be. She seemed proud in her work, and it showed not only in the repaired bones which the woman now sported, but in the body language that the girl displayed herself. It was like some kind of fantastic change - as if she'd transformed in to an entirety different person. But then again, perhaps practicing and displaying talents did exactly that when the outcome of the display was positive. She'd done her best, and was surely content that she hadn't let me down. But - I hadn't spoken yet, and instead, kept gazing over the skin which had been recently healed by her.

Taking a step away, I moved to face her.




"You did a great job."

I wasn't sure if she expected me to say such words to her, but I knew that she had faith in her own abilities, as did most people, so being praised would surely simply push her to continue doing the same good level of work as she had today. And by having me - the head medic of the hospital and her Kusakage deliver such a compliment, perhaps that too would be an additional factor. I wanted nothing more than her talent to expand and become much more powerful. Not only for the sake of gaining talented, capable medics for the hospital in order to tend to our ill and wounded, but also for her own sake. Being quite a shy person from what I could read from her, it seemed that she surely had more confidence in what she could do rather than the other aspects of herself - and by gaining such confidence in her abilities, perhaps it would stretch across her entirety. She was young, after all, and she had several years before her where she could hone her talents and display them to the entire world. In a reply to what I'd told her, she gave a slightly embarrassed grin, and nodded her head gently, as if both accepting my words, and understanding what I was saying. But - this wasn't the end. There were several more people that she could tend to, and if she couldn't handle some - then I'd be more than happy to help aid her in bringing them back to pristine health. Perhaps she'd learn something from it.

Leaving the curtained space that had surrounded the patient, allowing an exit for both myself and the girl through the fabric, I then turned to face her; "I apologize - I hadn't asked your name." I spoke as I moved to the center of the ward, my eyes directed elsewhere, but my ears focused on the girl for any sign of a response. I was sure that it was quite unprofessional of me to not know the names of the people that worked within the hospital (Even if she wasn't truly staff here) but to be fair, I hadn't been here for a few weeks, and in order for me to focus on resting, I hadn't checked a few of the updated files. However, with myself back in business and ready to take on the duties that I'd assigned myself to, it was something that I'd need to quickly catch up on. "My name is Rei, Lady Kusakage." she spoke, in the same slightly bashful tone as she'd previously used, and I nodded in reply, as I stopped in the center, her own feet ceasing to move upon seeing my sudden loss of movement. Gazing over at her, I began to give her feedback for the patient that I'd just seen her take care of. "From what you just showed me - it does seem as if you have great potential to join our ranks in the hospital. You seem to be very confident about your ability in the field, and I see no reason as to why you shouldn't be able to become employed here with the dedication that you have." And just like that, more compliments continued to seep from my mouth so sweetly, noting her on the good work that she'd done in order to bring the health of the patient back from the brink. Perhaps she hadn't been all too serious of a casualty, but as a start, it was a good display and I could foresee somewhat about what to expect from her in our next venture. Brushing my hair back softly, I began to continue again.

"The only suggestion I can give to you at this point, having seen you work so far, is that upon approach to healing a patient you need to connect to them - speak to them, tell them just who you are, and what you'll be doing." I paused only momentarily, my hand dropping to my right side, whilst my gaze stood fixed on Rei, as she seemed to carefully pick up on each word that I spoke. "It's simply more.. comforting to them, to understand who's going to be taking care of them. This place - despite being a place of duty, we have to take in to consideration that these are people - and, especially with them being in pain, they have emotions just like the rest of us." I wasn't sure if I could actually speak on part of the patients who were moved in and out of this hospital each and every day, but from my few experiences being admitted to hospital for various reasons, I liked knowing who was taking care of me, and what they planned on doing, for both the sake of my own knowledge, and so that I could be reassured that I was in the correct hands. In my opinion, there were no hands more caring that my own, and so when placing myself under the responsibility of others - I felt.. anxious. It's not that I didn't trust them, but I was simply so well-versed in the world of medical work that I knew all too well the problems that a botched job could cause.

It had never happened to me, but..

..You never know.

My critique of her work seemed to be taken by her as she emitted a positive "..Hai!". With that now done and completed, I shifted my attention to the ward around me, trying to search for someone who we could take care of. However - unfortunately for the both of us, it seemed that the patients had all been tended to, and the two elder nurses were taking care of the last one behind the curtained barrier - the one that Rei had been too sensitive to help with due to the amount of blood. On this note, I then moved back to the small staff area within the ward, taking the list of names of people who were currently on duty, and crossing off both myself and the girl that I was currently teaching, writing down that upon seeing that all patients were fine and there was ample staff on the ward, that we were going elsewhere in order to see if there was anywhere else that required some more aid that we could supply. Placing it back down, I began to speak again to her, explaining what we were going to do next. "Everybody seems fine here - we'll be going elsewhere so I can see you practice your abilities on someone else. Follow me." I motioned with my hand for her to move alongside me as I began to walk, exiting the ward and moving elsewhere. My pace steady, I made my way around, passing various wards and gazing in to see the supply of medical staff working on patients. We soon moved through a few rooms, before reaching one ward that seemed like it could use some more hands on deck to help take care of the people within it. And as such, I moved over to the sink by the door, cleaning and washing my hands, and then extending my arms to open the door before me rather than let myself barge in. With Rei mimicking my actions, I gazed around at the various beds, to see one of the medics placing a new patient on to one of the beds carefully, having moved him over from a stretcher. Pained groans were audible, and because of such, I approached him and the medic who was busy transporting him carefully on to the cushioned surface in order for him to receive further treatment.

"We'll take care of this patient once you're done."

I insisted to the medic, nodding his head in acceptance of my request.

Once all was done and the patient was now laying down on the bed, bandages coating the majority of his body, I moved over to the end of the bed and read over the information that was given about him and the injuries which he'd sustained, which was up for us as medics to take care of correctly. It seemed as if, similar to the many other shinobi in the ward, he'd been injured on a mission and only now had returned, his body in bad condition. He seemed tired from what I could see from momentarily gazing at his expression, which was understandable. But the amount of wounds that were detailed on the chart - it was undoubtedly a job that I could take care of by myself easily, but given that this was Rei's chance to shine, it was her duty. However, with the severity of his injuries, I'd have to chip in and add some kind of aid to help take care of other parts of his body which had been hurt whilst she took care of the rest. It was a minor aid, but one that in the end would be benefit to both patient and healer, as she'd be able to view my own actions and now I approached a patient.

"..My name is Rei. I'll be taking care of you today." she spoke, approaching the man as he lay in the bed, his expression still drained, but his eyes nonetheless trying to focus on the both of us. "We're going to undress the bandage that's around your wounds and then take a look at it - and heal it from there." a small, almost hesitant pause, as I could see her planning the next few words that she'd speak to him. "You'll be back to good health in no time!" her tone grew more confident with each word that she spoke, and the patient picking up on this, he seemed to acknowledge it, a trying smile gathered in response, surely created from the relief that he was going to be nursed back to health soon. Being in such a position - so vulnerable wasn't a very comfortable thing to be in as a shinobi - always taught not to fail and to try and look out for ourselves, there were times where we did need the help of others. And - I was a prime example of this. Moving to his right side whilst Rei moved to his left, I nodded to her softly, and began to gently remove the bandage that was wrapped around his arms. It was comforting to know that it wasn't the sticky, tape-like kind, as I noticed just how bad the damage was as I peeled the fabric away from him - if the bandage had been that kind, then given the severity of it, I didn't doubt that they would probably be peeled off alongside the bandage itself - the mere concept of it didn't seem too comfortable at all. Placing the removed bandage elsewhere, it uncovered a thick plaster of red across his arms, and watched as Rei did the same thing, placing the bandage elsewhere for now as she then begun to study the injury. It wasn't a pretty sight but I had faith that she'd be able to conquer the queasiness which had taken over her the last time, which had prevented her from continuing. Giving her another reassuring nod, I watched as her hands then laced with chakra, and I copied her, doing the same. Our hands were then bathed in white light, and the eyes of the patient closed as we started, his chest rising and falling softly, showing that he was still breathing.

Given the skill that I'd amounted over the years, it allowed me to both focus on the injury and how my hands were currently coping with healing it, and on the work that she was doing, my eyes focused on her as she worked, whilst my chakra instead was continuously fed in to the patient, as the scabbed, blistered skin began to slowly retract, becoming healthier and healthier with each passing minute. Gazing down at what I was healing, I couldn't help but notice that my stomach had begun to become somewhat of an obstacle as it jutted out. Unable to position myself as close to the patient as I'd once been able to, to cope with this I chose to instead merely extend my arms further. It wasn't a big problem, of course - but it was different. Due to the fact that I'd spent years practicing the medical arts, my arms felt little to no ache from having them kept stretched for so long, which was beneficial given the extent I had to take in order to resume my work. But it was only for a few more months now - although, it merely made me wonder when I'd have to stop working. I was an energetic person - always moving and doing things, and I didn't particularity like the idea of relaxing purely for the sake of allowing myself rest. I knew that it was necessary, and I'd do it, of course - but that wasn't to say that I'd enjoy it. Exhaling softly, I moved my gaze from the soft fabric of my dress, and back towards where I was healing, to see that a lot of the damage had already been countered by my healing ability. Looking over at Rei's work, I could also see that she was progressing, too. Not as quick as I; but that wasn't expected.

Pure, healthy skin came from the mess that had once been there, although I could only be reminded of the work that still required to be done before he'd be back to full health. Although we started on his arms - there were several other areas of his body which were injured from the mission which had seemed to take an unfortunate turn, and because of that, I didn't rush myself - and neither did I expect Rei to, either. "..Keep your hands steady." I whispered softly to her as I spoke, my tone gentle as I kept my hands positioned over his arms, the upper part of it entirely healed, as I now moved them down in order to heal his lower arm, wrist and hands. It wouldn't be long now until that part would be taken care of and I could move on elsewhere, but I took my time to make sure that it was entirely healed, to prevent myself from ignoring any parts that were still tortured by the burning red skin that he bore. Looking over at Rei once more, I watched her progress, and I was quite content at the moment with how quickly her chakra seemed to be taking over the arm of the man, and her healing seemed to be quite a good quality as well, such cuts, bruises and burns removed and rendered nothing beneath the ability that she honed. Gazing at her expression too, her eyes were narrowed, as if she was focusing quite hard on what she was doing, which - despite the fact that she looked a bit strange doing such, she was obviously deeply involved in what she was doing, so there was no problem with that. It seemed that the bloody nature of the injuries that she was fixing didn't deter her either. Although perhaps it was merely because I was overseeing her that she was now pushing herself to her limits in order to impress me. After all; I was the person who gave the OK to those who wanted to work here. Perhaps the first time she'd been disheartened, but now she came back with a vengeance, appearing to be unwilling to back down from the duty that she'd given herself. I was, of course, silently proud of the work that she was doing.

As far as my own work was concerned, I was soon finished, his arm now as fresh and pristine as it had been before he'd attained the injury, his tanned skin without any blemishes or marks from it which would suggest that he'd been hurt in any way at all. Moving myself as close to the patient as I could, pressing my form up very gently against the bed that he was laying upon, I stretched my hands further, now focusing on his torso. Unwrapping the bandages that were stretched across his middle, again, the same kind of damage was revealed - as if he'd been somewhat mauled by some kind of animal. Minutes went by and soon the protective barrier was removed, which allowed me to then continue my work. Shousen having momentarily left my hands previously, it now returned, fully-charged as I held my hands above his stomach, healing it of the wounds that plagued it so. "..How are you doing, Rei?" I asked softly as I started my work, noticing that she was soon finishing up on the arm that she was taking are of. "..I'm almost done - Shall I help you heal his torso?" she inquired as she healed up the last bit of remaining damage on his arm, leaving it in perhaps a slightly more scuffed version of the one that I'd healed - but it didn't show any marks of pain, merely small signs of where the injuries had been, which would fix with time. Nodding in response, I began to reply to her inquiry. "If you get started on your side, then that would be perfect." with this confirmation she soon finished up, and moved her attention to her side of his bloody torso, which allowed me to back up slightly from the bed as the area was divided in to two sections for us both to heal, which was beneficial to me given that I didn't have to move up so close to the bed to reach the other side.

With both of our hands focused on the torso of the man, it reminded me of years ago when I was in a similar position to her, where I'd been assistant to one of the more seasoned medics. Of course, looking back I wasn't even sure if they needed my help, given how good they were at their craft, but perhaps it had merely been an exercise as it was today - where the elder medic had merely watched me work to try and gauge my abilities. I'd gotten in to getting work at the hospital with no problems, of course, so I was sure that I'd worked fine. Rei showed potential - and with the matter of introducing herself now seemingly neutralized and finalized, it seemed as if she was well on the way to becoming capable of taking care of patients by herself. Of course - she'd have to pass the medical exam first to make sure that she was able enough to do this, but I was sure that she'd take it just fine. Shifting my hands a little bit to heal other portions of his torso which were scarred with blood and various cuts and scrams, I poured my chakra in to his flesh gradually, watching as the damage was alleviated. With that area now done, I moved my hands again, being sure to detect each and every small inkling of a scar that I could find, and healing it up to assure that there was nothing left except for soft, smooth skin. With Rei also distracted in her work, I leaned over slightly. There wasn't all that much to do with my side of the torso except to clear up the remaining damage, so doing such work, I had hope that it wouldn't be long until the man could finally relax without the burden of pain weighing heavily on his body.

"..Almost done.."

Momentarily gazing over at the man, his eyes now open as he looked over at both Rei and myself, I could see him gazing over at me as I worked, almost as if he was in disbelief that I was the one healing him, but at the same time, almost as if he was unsure whether to be happy about that fact, his eyes momentarily gazing at my stomach, before looking back up to me, although - I ignored it. I wasn't too sure if he was actively judging me for the controversial news that had been brought upon the village in regards to Kouketsu becoming part of the community that had been formed, or if he was merely looking - but with my main priority right now was making sure that he was healthy - any other things could come afterwards once I was reassured that we'd done all in our ability to heal him back to health. Fortunately for us, the damage from his torso seemed to be only dispersed on his front, which suggested that he'd been attacked head-on, instead from all around, which was a good thing as it meant that we didn't need to move him at all. Trailing my eyes across his form, I moved my hands now to his neck and face, whilst Rei continue to peacefully heal her section of his torso.

[/font][/justify][/blockquote]

"We're almost done- you take care of the rest of his torso, Rei, and I'll heal the remaining damage."

"..Alright!"

It seemed as if together we'd combated the problems which he's suffered quite efficiently, and looking over at his features, his eyes now closed, he seemed much more relaxed now, although there was still a little bit more to heal up before he'd be fine to finally get some rest. Being such a quiet time at the hospital at the moment, I was sure that for the sake of his own health he'd be allowed to stay just so that he could get his strength up and ease the tiredness which he now suffered from, before he'd be allowed back outside. Perhaps he'd failed his mission, but that didn't mean that he couldn't go back at a later date and try and confront what he'd done wrong and face up to it, aiming to do better next time. Despite the fact that I hadn't been working for all that long, even I was starting to feel slightly tired from prolonged chakra use, but there was only a little bit left to conquer before he'd be correctly healed, so I couldn't stop just yet. But - I had to return to my office after my work, so it would allow me to rest slightly between paperwork. Paperwork itself wasn't draining, but it was the quantity that dared to bring me to my knees. Although - before going ahead to do that, there was nothing wrong with taking a small break just to restore my energy. With my hands now positioned over his neck, I healed the minor damage which had spread to it, then moving over to his face, where I healed all of the minimal damage that clung there, as well. When all was done, I lowered my hands back to my sides, the soft white disappearing in to the air around us as I dispelled the technique that I'd been using.

Standing back, signalling that I'd finished, I watched as Rei too finished up on the part of his torso that he'd been healing, allowing me to view his body in its entirety, which seemed just as fine as it would any other day without him having been harmed in any way. As she eased the remaining redness, she then drew her own hands back, the same soft white glow also leaving her hands. "..We've cleared the injuries from your body - please catch up on some sleep, as I'm sure that your body needs it. If you require any further help, please consult a member of staff who should be stationed here." with the ending words given and the man nodding his head tiredly, I nodded to her in reply as well, confirming that she'd risen up to my expetations. Backing away from the man, I then moved to the small staff part of the ward, allowing myself to lean against one of the countertops that lingered around the place, a soft relief being lifted from my back. "You did well, Rei - I'm pleased with the work that you did." I spoke, again complimenting her abilities and the way that she'd displayed them whilst healing the patients today. "..I'm looking forwards to seeing how you'll fare in the test - Perhaps I'll be the one to oversee you during it. Whether or not this happens, I wish you luck." I spoke sweetly, giving her a final nod of my head before I plied myself from the countertop, exhaling, and then moving closer to the door of the ward. Looking back, my hair tumbling softly as I did so, I began to give her a few parting words. "Good job." and just like that, I opened the door and began to make my leave from the hospital, signing myself off at the main desk, the clattering of my heels audible through the hallway I was walking upon. It wasn't long until sun soon hit my skin, and I began to make my way over to the Atrium in order to both claim my reward for helping out, and to return to the office.
