Ch.4-Inoue Nishizaki
Monkey lead Carp through the back entrance of the hospital,walking at a brisk pace.
It was late in the day,as the sun began it's early descent into the horizen.The tree's of the surroundings vanished as the ANBU duo entered through the hospitals large double doors.An ANBU taking guard behind the doors,made a hand gesture for them to go forward.
Nodding to the man,Monkey rounded the corner,Carp hot on his heels.
"So,"Carp began."How are we planning on doing this?"
Monkey spared a quick look over his shoulder,and slowed.
"Sonao-San is to be performing the surgery,as you know,"Monkey stated."We will wait right outside the room to prevent any unnecessary interuptions.I have the permission tags stored inside one of my scrolls.Lord Raikage-Sama signed them this morning,on my recommendations,of course.You know we can't simply "mutilate" a villagers body without lawful representation.That would have caused too much trouble.I don't feel like being accused of treason for simply guarding the process."
"We will then meet with the Cryogenesists' lab-workers.They will have the transportation box ready.That's where I'll need you to go find Horse-Kohai.The two of you are to guard the workers back to the Cryogenetics lab.From there Worm and Tiger will take over.You'll then need to head back to me to be relieved of you're duties."
"And where will I be able to find you?"Carp inquired,obviously raising an eyebrow behind his mask.
Monkey stopped to unlock another set of double doors.He quickly fished a key-ring out from his pocket,shoved a non-descript key into the locks,and pushed the doors open.
Still holding one door,he waited for Carp to pass beside him,before resecuring the doors' lock.
"I will find you."Monkey said,shoving the keys back into his velcro-attached kunai pouch.
Rounding another corner,the two found themselves inside a lobby.Sitting on the other side of their entrance was the Fujiwara clan,sans Kezaku.
Fujiwara Risako looked up from the young boy she was talking to.Her face paled upon seeing them.
Monkey and Carp made their way over to the front desk,peering at the elderly lady behind the glass.
"We are here for assignment C-46;Fujiwara,Ikouze."Monkey stated,standing stock still in the womans view.
"Tags?"the woman asked,looking at a half-folded paper hanging inside her cubicle.
Monkey took the scroll out from his pocket and lay it onto the desk.Her looked over at Carp as he begun a set of seals.Carp nodded and opened the scroll.
Two spots were drawn out for hand placement,and in the center was the storage seal.
Monkey finished the hand seals and lay his palms onto the paper.
Smoke rose to just above Monkeys elbows,slowly clearing.
Laying above where the middle seal used to be,were two red slips of paper.They had very small kanji letters scrawled along then in neat up-and-down rows.
The lady behind the desk took them through the slot at the bottom of the glass wall.Looking them over,them woman sighed tiredly.
"A child?"The woman remarked,sadly.She then looked up at the two men."You two are free to go.Wait a second,and I'll unlock the doors for you."
The lady got up,knee's loudly popping,and went behind the paste-colored drywall.
A second later the back-room door clicked open with the woman holding it.
"Come along BOYS,"She said derogatorily,still angry about the Raikage allowing this operation on a child."We need to get going if you want to make it in time."
Looking over at the Fujiwara Clan,the woman nodded sympathetically.
"I do believe we know the way,Ma'am."Monkey pressed,agitation dripping into his steady voice.
"Well I'm sorry,sir,but I'm not required to let ANBU into the hospital without a guard."She said,calmly surveying Monkey and Carp.Pointing to her shoulder,the old lady smiled."You see this?"
"Hai,"Monkey stated.
It was a standard Kumo headband.
"I wear this with pride!I'm not about to let this hospital go to ruin because the Raikage's ANBU are involved.If you continue to try to get through here without me,I'll be forced to throw you out."The old lady smiled,vengeance lapping at her tongue."Now.Come."
The uncomfortable silence in the room moved along with the small group as they went into,and down,the hallway.
Several more turns,and they were in a busy circular room.Numbered doors were all around them as they approached the front desk.
A young man in a wheelchair looked on from his room,sending dark stares at Monkey and Carp.Carp instinctively moved in closer to Monkey.
Monkey looked down at his nervous comrad.
Carp was a rookie to the ANBU,and it rang quite obvious.One could only hope that Carp would stop showing frightened body-language.It really wouldn't help in the future.Especialy against powerful countries like Iwa and Konoha.
That was the bad thing about being a Kumo-nin.Kumo just wasn't strong.
If it weren't for their Jinchuuriki,Kirabi and Yugito,they wouldn't have a chance.
Monkey knew that Kumo was closer to being on par with Takigakure(Waterfall Village) than anything else.
Monkey observed the old woman from the office,as she talked to the desk workers.He honestly didn't care about her,but she dragged on his nerves.
"Alright,boys,"She said,turning around."This is where I leave you.Fujiwara-Shi is in room 104.Right down there.Now be gone with you."
The lady said shooing them away.
Monkey heard her turn to one of her colleagues and say,
"Keep an eye on them."
-----------------
Beep,beep,beep,beep.The heart monitor sounded dully.
Monkey looked in through the windows of the emergency room.The dark pink and red flesh of the little girls arm was being pulled in and out with various tools.
Sonao's,the nurse who had met Ikouze at the waiting room,face and hair were hidden behind a dual white mask and hair net.
Her only partner for the operation,Daichi,was standing off to the side with bandages in hand.
A slight noise was made from the drilling instrument as Ikouze's hand was pulled away from the bone and vein.
Silently,Sonao placed the hand in a bag labeled '10245-42',before putting the bag onto an ice layered tray.
Daichi made his way over and begun to wrap Ikouze's arm with the bandages.Placing a metal clamp onto the cloth,he then placed a strange plaster caseing over the nub where Ikouze's hand used to be.Daichi then preceded to seal the casing to the exposed arm via chakra.
Wiping her forhead,Sonao walked out of the room,and turned to Monkey.
"Well,where are your delivery men?I can't keep the hand in fresh state if they aren't here immediately."She prodded,looking ever more fierce as her brown hair peeked from behind her hairnet.
Monkey couldn't really blame her for her temper,but he didn't like it all the same.
'Medics were always angry about something.'He thought.
"Do not worry,Sonao-Sensei,"Monkey said,familiarly.Sonao was also a private ANBU medic.Hiding your face from her was necessary,but your familiarity was not."I have Carp-San on his way back up with them.Seems an ill-tempered woman wouldn't let them through in the waiting room."
Obviously the OLD woman. Monkey's point proven.
True to his word,seconds later the carry-box was being wheeled down the hall.
"These are the lab-workers,Monkey-San.Sonao-Sensei?If you would.."Carp said.
"Of course,"She smiled,moving back into the surgery room.The cart was pushed after her."This is it."
She pointed at the tray,as she went to wash her gloves off at the sink.
"Hai/hai!"The men said,scrambling to get the bag into the chilled box.
The rushing of water hit Sonao's hand as she bent her right leg in a stretching movement.
"Oh,dear lord!I've been on my feet all day long."She groaned,pulling the gloves off,and then began meticulously washing the actual hands."Kochiro-Kun had me tired out from the patient last night!"
Daichi looked up from his clip board and nodded.
"Yeah,I heard about that.What kind of jutsu was the patient hit with?"Daichi asked,still making marks onto the paper.
"We're still not sure.All Ko-Jii is saying is that it's bad."Sonao said,pulling her leaden-feeling foot back to the ground."I was made to clean up vomit all night from that one!They just moved him to the BADO lab."
"Biohazard?"Daichi smirked,sadisticaly.He loved semi-permanent patients.
"We're all done,"One of the lab-workers said timidly.
"Very well,"Monkey approved."Carp-San will be your guard on the way out-"
Static noises started to fill the air.Monkey plucked a walky-talky from his belt.
"Hai."Monkey said.
More static.
"Hai,"The voice came from the device."This is Horse reporting.Lord Raikage-Sama sent me in to help you."
"Aah,"Monkey replied back,as he pressed on the long button."Please wait outside the hospital,we're having a bit of trouble getting people in and out."
Static pause.
"Understood,Monkey-San.I will wait.Out."
A highpitched squeal came from the walky-talky as the other line hung up.
"Alright,Carp-San,please guide these men along."Monkey ordered,before bowing to Carp.
"Of course,"Carp said,bowing back.He then looked over to the two beside the cart."If you two would follow,please."
The three soon left the room for the lower floors.
"Now,"Sonao said."Daichi-Kun,please go and bring the Fujiwara Clan back to room 104.I'll have Kizuna send you the girl in a minute.Once she's there and ready,you're free from the surgery."
"Alright,"Daichi nodded,now peeling off his gloves and mask."I'll do just that."
Walking away,Daichi deposited his clip-board into the doors deposit box.
With Daichi gone,Sonao looked over at Monkey.
"Nishizaki-Kun,why don't you join me for dinner tonight?"
Monkey lead Carp through the back entrance of the hospital,walking at a brisk pace.
It was late in the day,as the sun began it's early descent into the horizen.The tree's of the surroundings vanished as the ANBU duo entered through the hospitals large double doors.An ANBU taking guard behind the doors,made a hand gesture for them to go forward.
