Don't touch my leaves (Private/Casual/Resting) [Hitomi/Mizuna]

She was coming here to rest up, just take a load off from this week since she had gone through not only the spar battle from the unknown kid beforehand but all kinds of other things. From training under her new sensei, getting over the past within her own mind, not to mention the wedding and her own birthday. She was wiped out for a poor little genin such as herself. Her mind was just buzzing faster than her body could think, and her body was just getting more bruises and cuts as the days went on. She sat back not really wanting to go home today, atleast not yet until she healed her wounds enough to not worry her mother or brother about them. She knew her father knew about them but she didn't want her mother to know, especially since her mother's reaction is always over the top. Sure enough she didn't want to show her brother for fear of discouragement, he wanted to be a shinobi so badly. But seeing her like this would surely make him feel crushed upon his goals.

She sighed holding her hand over her arm where a large bruise was and keeping a thought to her chakra to go to her hand. She then had her hand starting to glow but it flickered a bit before she lost concentration. She was just too tired and too weary. She breathed a bit then sat her head back as she sat on a chair. Closing her eyes to rest a bit, napping as per what she used to do once she was just to tired to keep going. She was a year older and yet a year with much more to do. She didn't want to hear anything, just sit there in silence and just think calmly. "What do I do..." She said thinking to herself.

Mizuna had woken up and smiled feeling really relaxed from her vanilla scented spa the other day, she decided to patrol Konohagakure no Sato again, like last time she patrolled the wall premises, watching for any trouble or conflict, or nay action to partake in. The day was pretty peaceful not that it never had any non peaceful days or anything, they had a fair share of worries and attacks, like just recently the village had a few nin attacked, they also had found out it was from a familiar group/gang called Akatsuki, she knew them because of her friend. He had wanted Mizuna to join them with him, that was their final battle she doesn't even know if her friend, Nakato got to join them or not, maybe he died she didn't know she hadn't seen him in a couple of years or so. She had declined due to the fact it had went again what she stood and fought for, he said she was foolish, maybe he was the foolish one, he's the one who vanished and no one had any sign on him if he was dead or not, probably got killed trying to join them. She had then spotted a girl as she walked around the village walls, looked down at her watching her closely.

Mizuna had saw her bruise, her facial expression still showing no emotion as she looked at her but inside, she felt bad and in a way wanted to help her, she looked at the bruise closer and wondered, was the girl in a fight? She didn't really know all the facts, but she wondered if she should help out, she sat on the wall her feet dangling off the edge as they swayed, her presence unable to detect easily, she was quiet and stealthy. She saw her hand flicker with a light, she automatically knew it was Medical ninjutsu but this girl was in too much of a weakened state to even try and do anything for herself, she sat back in a chair, Mizuna now could see the back side of her. She watched the girl and moved a bit further on the gate seeing a bit of the side of her face she was in deep thought, at least that was Mizuna's guess due to her having that face sometimes and seeing it quite a lot, use too it, knowing when to spot that facial expression. She slowly got closer still her presence masked living up to her title from a kid as the ghost girl/genin, getting it cause she was always watching people and her presence hidden.

For a while her head sat back to feel the wind push her hair around, as if it was caressing her, saying it was going to be okay. Maybe not now, maybe not soon enough as she'd hope for but sometime when she'd need it, it will be. That alone sparked her to open her eyes as she looked down to her bruise once more. It was on her left upper arm, and so she took from her right arm the wrap with the crest of the village, the same crest that showed she was a shinobi and wrapped her bruise. She hated feeling weak, she hated feeling like a dead leaf on the ground being crunched under people's feet. For a while she shivered in a tinge of pain from holding the bruise. She gritted her teeth for a while before taking a breath in and sighing out, looking down to the ground to see the fallen leaves of autumn.

For a moment in the pain she looked up to the tree blowing in the wind and seeing the different colored leaves upon it. Some were green as if they weren't ready to fall just yet, some were yellow being unsure of what they wanted to do, others were orange that were about ready, and then the fiery reds seemed to have everything ready. Then left the brown ones on the ground, as if they fell and yet even with all they've done they're treated lower than dirt. Some of the leaves fell prematurely, some riddled with worm holes or ant bites, some used as nests for birds or to hide in for squirrels. However even with this she couldn't figure what she'd fit in if she were a leaf, she felt she'd just curl up and hide away so others wouldn't see all the chewed places.

It was then after she thought and mulled over the process that she stood up quickly and took a fighting stance. "Come out! I know you're there..." She said abruptly before seeing a squirrel come out from a pile of leaves with nuts in it's grasp. She sighed for a moment frowning in disbelief before sitting back down. "Can't even tell the difference between the chakra of a squirrel or a person...great job, I'm so gonna protect my family from a squirrel attack!" She placed her hand into her hands from the stress of it all. Grumbling within it's grasp still hurting from the bruise, which was the size of a large punch. Her chakra was just to low however she felt it wasn't that, she felt it was that she was weak in general.

Mizuna sat quiet as a rock, that wasn't moving, she was kind of bored and tired if this drag of a day but she continued to watch the girl as she began to look more and more helpless, Mizuna felt even worse, didn't know exactly what to do being her personality she doesn't confront others easily. She began to remember the time she watched Nakato in pain like the girl except for he had a huge gash in his arm and cuts all over his body and was bleeding badly, like so bad it stained the dirt as he walked around leaving bloody trails everywhere. She remembered the site and shuddered, defiantly not her favorite memory, she wind then made her hair flow flawlessly in the air, as she stood on top of a building, she had moved position's  now she had a excellent view on the girl, she was kind a scarlet red-head with light sea blue eyes, well now that she put more thought to it kind of crystal blue or was it sapphire blue. Mizuna was never good at different types of shading on eyes, why couldn't they be simple like Hyūga's just a simple white, white eyes, no but instead they all must have careful eyes. Mizuna had jumped down near the girl landing as quiet as a feather, she walked off, away, into the ramen shack or a ramen shack.

She had ordered the shrimp ramen, shrimp around the bowl, spices and a few shrimp in the ramen, she also ordered a separate pork on the side, she would dip her pork in the ramen juice and cut off the juiced meat and eat it politely. After finishing the pork she dipped her shrimp around the bowl in it , finishing her shrimp, she ate the ramen. Looking at the girl still a bit worried, for her health she would sit and wait to see what the girl's next move would be would she sit by Mizuna, or not. Mizuna saw her flip out thinking someone was their and a squirrel had jumped out of no where, she sighed sitting back down, Mizuna couldn't help but let out a little giggle about her actions and how a squirrel had startled the girl. As she got closer she heard the girl complain about how she couldn't tell the difference between a being's chakra and squirrel, what almost made Mizuna burst into laughter was her next set of words about how she would protect her family from a squirrel attack, her tone had a bit of sarcasm in it though.

Mizuna looked at the ground, if she couldn't tell, then how will she make it as a shinobi? Did her Sensei not teach her, if this is how the genin in squads are raised and trained, she was glad she had no squad to be in and was a outcast. At least she could tell and was a bit more calm and focused, she looked at the girl from the corner of her eye wondering if she was noticed, if so Mizuna would quickly jump back and jump onto the top of the ramen shack and look down at her in a emotionless blank stare. Mizuna had noticed the girl had wrapped her Konoha head band on her arm to hide her big bruise, smart.

She took a moment to move her bruised arm for a while then stopped and gasped in pain. She paused in her shock and looked to her arm. She stared at it for a while before getting up and holding it with her other arm. "B-broken?! How did I overlook that?" She stuttered before looking around in a bit of panic, she then headed into the hospital. Here she thought it was nothing but a bruise but it was really a hairline fracture. Her arm grasping the other to hold it in place as she rushed through the halls. She wanted to find, not someone, but something. Bandages, Gauge pads, Wraps, anything and everything she was taught to look for in danger. Her medical knowledge surpassed most any genin for her age, as she easily found her way around as if this was a natural environment, looking in a serious motion for what she needed for that time.

Her hands grabbed for an ice pack, wrapping it in padding before wrapping it in cloth and making a sling to hold her arm up and to cover the bruise and broken arm for that time. She also made sure to look for someone specific, she went up to one of the nurses putting on what seemed to be a cute young face. "Miss, miss, my arm hurts...my mommy told me to get my medicine here...it really, really hurts!" Her voice however sounding more childish as if it was a pity call, that due to being she knew they wouldn't just hand out medication to anyone, especially not someone who looked like a ten year old child rather than her actual age of 15. Her inoccence in apperance is useful however as she looked away when the nurse walked off she sighed in irritation. Showing she hated to do that, however laws and regulations prohibited herself from many things, that and apperance alone stopped her in her tracks. As the nurse returned handing her some pain relief pills and a lolipop, she smiled back at the nurse then began to walk off. Soon as she could however she tossed the lolipop and took out from her pouch a small bottle of water. Taking the medication quickly before making her way back once more.

Mizuna saw how quickly the girl ran off and she looked confused, it was just a bruise, she felt bad but she felt like the villages ninja were maybe babied a bit too much, then again the way she ran off it must have been serious, blood, maybe? She couldn't act as if she didn't care for her though she followed her as she went in seeing as how she told the nurse her arm was in pain, well really hurt, looking quite innocent, Mizuna had played tricks like that when attacking villages for aid, then... kill them. This caused her to watch the girl just a bit more cautiously in case she would strike, then Mizuna would strike her down, if needed too. The Nurse walked off to go get pain killers and such, she saw how the girl sighed irritation, then the nurse came back with medicine and the girl took it thankfully with a lollipop, walked off, out the door.

Mizuna followed her staying carefully back, she then jumped onto a building and watched from a higher up and out of sight and a safe height, she may have a addiction to watching people, mostly genin but that was cause she was curious what the future ninja's skills and capabilities were. As the girl made her way back Mizuna looked at her walk, a little better the pills working a bit, probably just sustaining the pain till further aid. She couldn't get the thought out of her head how innocent she played, it brought back bad memories the screaming the blood, guts bones how the brutes picked their bodies to sell, remembering it all too clearly. Mizuna sighed, maybe she should start training soon for more jutsu and to hone her fighting ability. She hadn't fought in awhile, but she still remembered how too, of course, Mizuna jumped down a bit and walked behind the girl now, allowing herself to be caught.
