104Version 2 of chapter 2
Warmth was the first sensation that she was aware of
Warmth was the first sensation that she was aware of. She was covered in a think blanket, one that was wrapped completely around her body and pulled up over her nose. It was nice, being in that warmth after so long. Slowly, she became aware of other things going on around her; the needle in her arm, the pillow beneath her head, the light past her eyelids. Then she heard the voices.
"How is she, Tsunade? Are the injuries serious?"
"They're not too serious; she'll be able to leave in six or seven days." A chair scraped across the floor, dragging against the tile. Soft footsteps seemed to pace back and forth. "I won't know what happened until she wakes up." There was a soft sigh from across the room. "You should get some sleep Shizune."
"Okay… goodnight Tsunade-sama." The sheet that slipped over her ear muffled the click from the door. Slowly, she pulled her arms up to pull the blanket away from her face. It was slow, and her body ached as she moved. She pushed the edge of the covers back to her shoulders.
"Don't strain yourself to much." The voice came was rather close to her. A steady pair of hands folded the covers back and placed the girls arms on top of the covers. She kept her eyes closed as the woman timed her heartbeats. "No papers, no way to identify you," she paused before continuing. "Can you at least give me a name?" The girl struggled to use some small amount of chakra she had left.
'Kyra Odayashi…' The hands jerked away suddenly; the girl focused again. 'My name is Kyra Odayashi…age 19…jounin…' She knew the words would only be a faint whisper in the woman's ear. She started to open her eyes; it was very bright in the room. She squinted up at the ceiling as her eyes adjusted to the light.
"Kyra Odayashi," the woman repeated. Kyra heard the soft footsteps again and the click of the door. She could hear the woman ask someone outside to bring her a file. As the door closed again, the girl managed to completely open her eyes and stare up at the ceiling.
"Deep wounds in the back, malnutrition, dehydration, fatigue…" The woman came to sit on the edge of her bed with a clipboard. She was a pretty blond woman with a rather large bust. "You have a total of sixty-eight stitches in your back at the moment; Shizune will come in sometime tomorrow to remove them and help the scars heal as best as she can." She glanced down at the girl grayish-green eyes and then back at her clipboard when she was sure the girl wouldn't say anything. "You'll be on fluids for the next few days as well." She stopped speaking and glanced in the direction of the door.
"Hokage-sama, here's the file you wanted." Tsunade placed the clipboard on a nearby table and took the folder that a nurse came and handed to her. "Oh, she's awake!" The nurse smiled and nodded at the girl before leaving them again. Tsunade muttered under her breath as she read the papers in the folder.
"Kyra Odayashi…" she started, "…daughter of Cho and Mamoru Odayashi…early acceptance into the academy…" she trailed off as she went on. Kyra focused on moving the muscles in every part of her body. As she arched her back, she felt the pull of the stitches on her skin; it was uncomfortable. She lifted her arms up in front of her and flexed her hands. When she once her hands felt comfortable, she shifted twisted her arm and heard the faint pop from her elbow joints. Tsunade smiled behind the papers.
"Well…" Tsunade started, "Seems like we'll have plenty to talk about over the next day or two." She pushed herself off the bed and took the folder with her. "I'll be back later for an explanation, so rest. You have a lot of recovering to do…" Kyra's head turned and she watched the woman leave the room and shut the door behind her.
Careful not to pull too much at the stitches, she turned onto her side and stared out the window next to her bed. Home…
Version two of Chapter 2. I'm alot more satisfied with this version even if it isn't much longer.
Love you all!
