Sora's Room - Healing from a Battle.

I had been carried off to the hospital by Maru, after the fight we had. I lost, but I lost with honor. I would become Sannin someday I knew it. It had to be, no one was going to stand in the middle of my dreams and me. Well, even though for the most part I was healed, I still had injuries in which I needed to heal from, and sitting in a hospital bed would help, with time.

For instance, there was still that "x" scar on my back, and some broken bones throughout my body. Thank goodness I didn't need an operation, nor was I sick. All I needed to do was heal. And thank you kind Maru for helping along the process. I hope that if and when you do become Sannin, you will use your power for the right reasons. ^^

"I don't like.. being trapped in a hospital bed, but eh... I guess that's what happens when you fight someone as strong as Maru." I laughed to myself, and then cringed in pain, moving my free hand slightly over to my ribcage, the right side. While my left arm was broken, and had a cast around it. So did my right ankle, then a sigh came from my mouth into the air.

"It hurts to laugh... this really sucks.."

Ryu walked around the hospital. He was looking for someone he knew of the Aurora Village. His family was close friends with the village and he was sure that he may still have a relative somewhere around here. Ryu looked in rooms and closed them if he didnt know who they were. Ryu opened one door to see the beat down ninja that just cringed in pain. "....um.." Ryu stood there. He felt something different about this person that he didnt when he walked into the other peoples room. He looked at the person and then finally said something. "....sorry. I must've came into the wrong room,"

I stopped the cringe and regained the soft look, the soft expression upon my face, the innocence yet the pain in my eyes. It was different what I was feeling now, it was different what I felt when I saw this person walk through the door. Though something about me, told him, lured him in that wasn't like all the others, I was unique to him. As he opened to door and spoke softly, I only glanced at the door, and softly smiled. The expression spread across my lips, and I responded.

"Oh well, hi there. Welcome, who might you be?" I asked politely. He said he had the wrong room, and yet he hesitated to leave. I wondered why, but that natural kindness I had, despite the fact I was injured, took over as usual, and I spoke to him in the most friendly tone anyone could ever think of. He did seem familiar, though I couldn't recognize his voice, nor his face. Who was he?

Ryu looked at the person and when he saw her smile and say hi. Ryu didnt know why but he walked into the room and closed the door. He walked towards her without feeling wierd. he felt safe. Like hes know this person for a while. Ryu opened his mouth to speak to her. "My name is Tsurenai Ryu....i am from the Ash village, but my family decented from here originally..." Before Ryu knew it, he was sitting in a chair next to her bed talking to her "Who are you?"

I smiled and watched him walk into the room and sit down on a chair next to my hospital bed. He was speaking to me as if he knew me, as if I knew him. Though I felt that I did, I couldn't remember him at all. Hm, this was peculiar.

"I am from the Aurora village. Raised here, and lived here all my life." Pausing to think a moment, I made a response in my mind of what to say back to his other comment to me. Then I did reply as I thought about who he was.

"Oh then hi there Tsurenai, my name is Seirei, Seirei Sora, call me what you like. You say your family is from here in the Aurora?" I paused once more, pondering the history of my life here. "Hm.."

Ryu nods and looks at the window. He remembers playing around this place when he was young. He remembers the time his parents told him that he was gonna be a great ninja in front of their house before they went on missions. Ryu looked at Seirei and smiled "Its all a blur but yeah..i remember being here. I am originally an Aurora ninja."

I nodded and smiled, certain bandages around my forehead as well. I started to chuckle, but quickly covered my ribs and sighed.

"Oh, I forgot it hurts to laugh. MY apologies, Tsurenai, so you're originally from the Aurora village yes? Well I do not seem to remember a lot from my past here, but I shall try if you wish for me to." I smiled, and then thought a moment. I did play with a lonely boy in the park on hot summer days, in fact all seasons. I wondered if Tsu was the boy, no he'd couldn't be could he?

A gentle knock sounded from the door. Laria stood outside the door holding a package. Her blonde hair was pulled back and she was wearing an informal blue hakama. She knocked again, "Um.. Hello?"

Laria slipped inside the room and smiled warmly, half of her face hidden by the package. She bowed to Sora, "I h-heard you were injured.. I wanted to make sure you were well and getting the best treatment.." There was another person in the room. When she realized it she sank away towards the wall and stared.

I nodded.

"Yea, I was injured in my fight with Maru. But, you don't have to be so shy, it's just Tsurenai, and he won't hurt you." I smiled and waved for her to come over.

Ryu looked at Laria and nods. Ryu then looks at Sora and starts to talk to her again. "I am the son of Shisai and Gurabye Ryu. Do you know them?" Ryu then looks at Laria and bows "Sorry, my name is Tsurenai Ryu."

I shook my head to Ryu after giving some thought to it. I did not know who his parents were though there was one memory coming back to me, that seemingly I started to remember. I thought it important to bring up after introductions.

"Tsurenai, this is Laria-chan, the priestess of the Xzenos. And Laria-chan this is my friend Tsurenai." I smiled as they would now know each other's names. Then I turned my glance back to Ryu, hoping that Laria would come and sit down with us.

"My memory is a little fuzzy. But I do happen to remember playing with a little boy when I was young, like 3 or so. Maybe 5. I do remember, playing around on the glaciers, and throwing snow balls at a boy around my age who suddenly disappeared.. was.. was that you?"

Laria nodded and bowed back. "I am XzenLaria Kanakosa. Nice to meet you." She scurried over beside Sora and grinned.

Ryu looked at the window and thought about it "Hmm." Ryu remebered something of the same sort. Ryu nodded and looked at Sora "I do remember something like that..a girl i used to play with."

I nodded and thought more and more as I looked up to the ceiling hoping that might help me. All I could see were dimmed hospital lights, and some cables leading to somewhere out of the room.

"I think the boy I used to play with, I always had such a fun time with. I could never stop smiling or laughing. And he was always so nice, he had a blue-grayish sort of tint to his hair, and well it was short. And that's basically all I can remember, besides that his eyes, even though intense were filled with kindness and innocence of course." I thought more and continued to smile, as I looked to him friendly like.

"Do you remember what the girl looked like?"

Ryu continued to look out of the window. "...she had pink hair..grayish turquoise eyes kind always looked so kind.." Ryu nods "Thats all i remember.."

I glanced at Ryu and then asked him to come closer so that I could take a good look at his hair and eyes from an up close view.

"Tsurenai, would you mind coming closer so that I may have a good look at you? " I looked into his eyes as he would have done so, as well as his hair.

Whilist the two talked, Laria busied herself with opening the box she carried. Inside was a candle, a box of small tea cakes, and a branch of Sakura tree. She set the candle and cakes beside Sora's bed and hung the branch abover her. The smell filled the room. Laria smiled and snaped her fingers, a flicker of white flames appeared and lit the candle, aroma therapy.

Maru enters the room with flowers in his hand. Maru looks like the mean type. The type of mean that you would see in horror movies. True Maru has a great bounty on his head, but he could care less where he traveled he has no fear to travel and let alone travel in his own village. Maru takes a empty vase and puts the flowers in the vase as he looks off to the side seeing Ryu and Laria. "Hmp....." He looks at Sora. "Hmmm"

I smiled and looked toward Maru.

"Why hello there Maru, thank you for coming to visit me, and bringing these beautiful flowers!" I nodded, and thanked him as such. Though I lost my match with him, I knew that deep down inside he was a kind soul. And so he didn't have to do this, but I was thankful that he did.

"Oh and Maru-kun, this is Laria-chan, priestess of the Xzeno clan, and this is my new friend Tsurenai Ryu."

Icisia walks into the room also, with a bouquet of flowers in a vase. She smiles and walks up to the table by Seirei's bed and places the flowers there. "Man kid, you gotta try not to get hurt," she says with a grin. "What am I going to do without my genin? My only boy genin to keep the girls in line!" she says chuckling.

OOC: I know, I am a smart-alec >>"""

I looked at Icisia and seemed to smile at what she said to me.

"Thank you for bringing me flowers, Icisia-sensei. I appreciate it, you all are so kind. I shall recover soon don't you worry." I said with a determined face and a punching fist which kinda hurt.

"OW! Oops, forgot I was injured there for a sec. Hehe. I'll be back to health in no time, don't you worry. I shall keep those girls in line for ya!" I smirked.
