His head jerked forward slightly as the water ball connected with the back. He could feel his hair getting wet and the heavy feeling of the dried blood began to dissipate. As Jae's mother accused Jae of fighting him, he attempted to swallow back his nerves and vomit "N-n-ulp." he snapped his mouth shut again, clenching his jaw tight on the bile at the back of his mouth. Maybe eating that meat bun hadn't been the best idea...Barely listening to the conversation between Jae and Sayuri, Samuru closed his eyes to focus on his stomach. His hair falling around his face, eyes shut tight, he wobbled just a bit on the chair but his grip on the chair kept him up right What is your name? he opened his eyes, the glaze creeping back into them "Sa-" he lunged forward, grabbed the bowl of water and, spilling most of it out, threw up in the bowl. Most of what came out of his stomach was bile and liquid showing that nerves, more then actually being sick, was causing his upset stomach "Samuru...Sanmiitai..." he whispered into the bowl, crouched on the floor with the bowl in his lap. He was careful not to let the bowl tip and spill his stomach contents on the floor "...sorry..." his face burned red now, shame in every curve of his body.

I'm the quiet type...the quiet violent type.

Watching as he violently heaved up the contents of his stomach, Jae grimaced. She hated throwing up. It was one of the most painful and disgusting things that the body did in response to 'protecting' itself. Panicking a little bit she turned off the stove and grabbed a rag from her drawer, running it underneath the cool sink water. He's probably embarrassed or too sick to give two shits right now. Jae tried guessing. Filching another, less used bowl, she went over to the two of them. Jae's mother hadn't skipped a beat, continuing her healing of his head. Holding out the bowl to Samuru, she grabbed the one in his hands and fought the urge to throw up herself in response to the putrid smell and sight of a practically intact meat bun that was swimming in bile. Nasty... "Don't say sorry." She threw at him, her expression serious despite her comical reaction to holding the bowl as far from her body as possible. Eyes watered up she offered him the cool rag, to wipe his mouth properly and made a retreat to the bathroom to dump the remains and to burn the bowl.

Mouth pressed into a firm line, Sayuri made sure she had closed the wound and given the injury a chance to heal naturally. It would not bleed or open up but it would probably feel tender. Moving in front of him she placed her hands on her hips. "Jae don't burn the bowl, rinse it out and pour bleach on it so it can sit." In the bathroom muttering was heard in response to the command, from Jae. "She means don't apologize unless you did something worth apologizing for. This is not in your control. Reaching into her pocket she produced a pen and a small light. "Follow the pen with your eyes. She flashed the pen into his eyes in simultaneous movements with the pen. She didn't even need to do this for very long to notice the improper pupil dilation. "You are probably smart enough to know you have a concussion, right? Has anything else felt odd, within your body?" His head had a lot of swelling in the back portion. She was going to suggest observation in order to determine how badly.

Now returning from the bathroom, Jae met Wobbly's gaze briefly before pointing at his leg from across the room. "He tried mending his ankle on his own." Crossing her arms, she watched from a distance, feeling uneasy. Her mom was no longer treating him as coarsely as before. It must be serious. A small twinge of guilt panged within her but she quickly snuffed it out, recalling his comments earlier. Pity was probably the last thing he wanted.

Sayuri tenderly inspected the work he had done on himself. Looking up at him she coaxed and eyebrow. "You wrapped it a little too tightly. The swelling hasn't reached it's maximum yet. Mind if I loosen it to see the damage?" Jae's mouth dropped open from behind her mother. Why is she being nice to him?! "Hey, mom maybe we should send him to-." Jae was cut off before she could fully form the words to her sentence. "Can you prepare the bedroom so that he can use it for a while. He is in no condition to go unsupervised." Fat chance. This kid will bolt the moment he can. Smiling coyly at her mother she nodded her head, casting Samuru a sideways glance before heading off into the bedroom. Sae turned to look at Samuru once again.

Maylee turned the water off and grabbed her stomach. She pressed her lips together and groaned. She shut her eyes and wrapped her arms tightly against to stomach. One of her brothers were in pain. Maylee held the side of the sink and tried to take a few breathes before losing the content of her stomach. She coughed and fumbled to knob to turn the water back on. "Stupid sibling link." She sad before vomiting again. For Maylee, she always felt the sickness of her brothers. It's what made her linked to them. She coughed again and slid to her knees. She took a few deep breathes, praying the sickness and vomiting would vanish. Her fingers throbbed and now her stomach was killing her. She stood and wobbled a little before leaning against the table. "I...need to...go...lay...d...down." She felt dizzy and stumbled a little as she made her way to her room. Forcing the door open and walking in after closing the door behind her. Not turning the lights on, Maylee face planted into her pillow and took a few breaths. She looked half dead. She coughed and closed her eyes. Hoping this feeling would go away if she just rested for a while.

Feeling one bowl ripped from his grasp and another placed in its spot, Samuru held it tightly to his stomach, jaws clenched against further vomiting. Seeing the rag, he used one shaking hand to take it and, instead, put it on his neck as he felt another clenching in his stomach. He vomited again but less then last time, more along the lines of dry heaving with little stomach acid "Thank you..." he wheezed, his throat burning from the vomit. With the light, his eyes went from overly dilated to not at all giving him a headache and forcing him to duck down as he almost toppled over. He jerked his head in some kind of acknowledgement to Sayuri's comments about his concussion. As Jae mentioned his ankle, though, his head jerked up angrily but the look failed as he nearly passed out when Sayuri inspected his ankle "Nngmhph..." he gasped out, turning away from the two women to close his eyes as a shiver went through his body. His ankle was burning now that he had time to pay attention to it "...g...ahea..." he mumbled in reply to the question of loosening his homemade bandage. He felt a rush in his stomach and threw up in the bowl again, his body twisted awkwardly as he fought pain, sickness and dizziness. Today officially sucked.

I'm the quiet type...the quiet violent type.

It was a different kind of torture to hear the suffering of someone else and not be able to do anything about it. Jae had long since set up the room for Wobbly's transfer into it but she remained in it, unable to enter the room as the boy continued to barf of his intestines. "Jae help me move him to the room, now!" Her mother ordered her. Jae clenched her jaw tightly shut and obliged her. This sucks, this sucks, this sucks. She chanted to herself over and over again. Sae was busy undoing the support that Samuru had created for his injured ankle. Once the last of the already tightened bondage had slid off she let out a choked gasp. "My word. It's as purple as a plum!" Jae peered over her mother's shoulder, scrunching up her face as she noted the dark bruising that marked the afflicted area. Stubborn kid. "We have to get it elevated to help the swelling ease. I'm afraid all I can do is help the healing process speed up but that does nothing for a complete recovery."

Moving before Samuru, Jae contemplated whether or not moving him was such a good idea. He was still violently retching. Looking to her mom she waited until the woman addressed this predicament. "Look. He has been puking since he sat down. That's not normal." Sae gave her daughter a cross look and brushed her aside, taking the bowl from Samuru's hands and gently helping him up. "To the bed with you." She instructed, shoving the bowl into Jae's arms and indicating she not only help support him up on the opposite side but hold the bowl out in front just in case. Don't throw up on my squirt, I swear I will personally knock you out and ship you to the hospital... Her expression was bleak as she mimicked her mom in assisting him to the bedroom.

Once they had slowly made it to the room, they set him onto the bed even more slowly. Patience was not Jae's forte and she was tempted to just toss him onto the mattress. Her mother grabbed pillows, while Jae snaked an arm behind Samuru to prop him up. Positioning them behind him they kept him laying forward. Immediately Jae held the bowl under his chin in case he decided he was ready for whatever round he was on now. Sayuri busied herself with immediately setting to healing his injured ankle. "Okay! Mom stop the vomiting or something!" The pink haired Kunoichi choked out, her panic displayed for everyone in the room to take note of, if they were paying attention. Sae sighed and looked up at Samuru. "Nausea is a huge indicator of a concussion, it is going to continue to happen until the healing starts to mend the symptoms. It seems the two are separate ills however..." Sae stared directly at Samuru, allowing him to affirm or deny her assumptions that he was sick because of something else. She termed it in a way that Jae had no way of following. "Wait, he's what? What now?" Sayuri paused in the middle of healing his ankle and indicated that she needed to get some more cloths from the bathroom and a bin. Sighing Jae headed off to play nurse once more. "Take deep breaths, calm yourself down. It's not in my control anymore but yours." Sayuri instructed to Samuru, trying to get him to breath properly. She continued healing his ankle, sweat collecting at her brow as she continuously poured chakra into her task.


[ This is the healing from hell. Makes me nauseous too! >.< ]

Barely understanding that he was moving now, Samuru stared at the room around him, not aware of much. His head was splitting right over his eyes so everything was spinning but, thankfully, there was little left to come out of his stomach so the bowl was now unnecessary but his jitters and nerves were still fried. His whole body was shivering now, little tremors running up and down his limbs as he attempted to pull his head back into himself. Telling him to breath actually woke Samuru up the the fact that he hadn't been at all! He'd held his breath in an attempt to keep his internal organs from joining the mess in the bowl and when he did take a breath, the oxygen went straight to his head. And knocked him out cold for a few minutes. Long enough, at least, for him to slump forward a bit and then sideways onto the bed "...I....home....I need to......" he blinked eyes that were totally out of focus now....How hard did I hit my head...? he thought, not moving as the floor seemed to be on the ceiling now. His ankle was hurting less, thanks to Sayuri, but his head still ached like he had a metal spike in it "..." he lifted one hand to check that, indeed, there wasn't a spike in his head and found his hands weren't listening to him anymore. It wasn't that they were numb or anything...he just wasn't able to tell them the right spot to touch and ended up just covering his face with his arm "...." Sae was right, of course. More then the concussion and the ankle were driving his slow collapse right now. Terror was a major factor. Panic another. And his inability to express any of it was driving adrenalin into his bloodstream causing the headaches and the rapid dizziness. Samuru tried to take deep breaths like Sae ordered but ended up getting the hiccups instead. Which, big surprise, didn't help his mental state as his body shivered, jerked with hiccups and made his head throb "...wanna go home...." he whispered, hiding his face in both the bed and his arms. But he made no effort to get up or move. Not because he couldn't...but because going home was worse then being here. After a few minutes of not moving, a little snore came from under his mess of black hair and covered head. Asleep, Samuru would be completely unresponsive to anything other then a massive explosion of pain or shock to his body. He was, however and thankfully, breathing normally now despite being face down in the bed.


((Yeah >3< He's got some other health issues from going through the wall that's compounding this. But mainly emotional stress and the concussion Dx ))

I'm the quiet type...the quiet violent type.

"The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire."


Maylee curled against the wall by her bed that laid under the window that lead out. Her arms wrapped around her stomach. She exhaled, gasped for a breath. Why hadn't Rakuin come home yet? Where... Maylee grasped her head trying to stop the thought of Samuru. He had shoved her way hours ago. She bit her lower lip, he had pushed her away. Maylee sat up and sat in the corner; her hands on her temples and her toes locked together. She loved her big brother to where she would protect him. And when she got protective he pushed her away. "He broke his promise..." She exhaled in a shaky voice and pressed her hands tighter. "We'll protect each other." She brought her knees closer to her chest. "He...pushed me away...he...left me alone..." Maylee's head started to hurt. Her world felt like it was falling to pieces. Breaking in front of her. "M-muru-nii..." She whispered in a broken voice as she broke down and began crying as if she was five again. As if she had relived the murder of their father. The days her mother throw her down with a single backhand. The nightmares played and no one was there to stop them. The bite marks on her fingers reopened and started bleeding again. But Maylee was to far into the darkness to even realize. She sat tight, pressed into the wall wanting to phase through it, wanting to escape the darkness of her past but the memories, the noises echoed in the depths of her mind without mercy.

Once he was slumped forward, face in the mattress, Jae let out a huge sigh. Entering the room with a dish of cool water and some wash cloths, she eyed her mother who was working without pause. His passing out must have been a mercy blow on his body. Once her mother had finished and instructed her to sit tight while she cleaned up, Jae helped arrange Samuru in a proper position to rest. When there was a baby or sick person face down she couldn't help but turn them face up. Call it her controlling personality but it bugged her. Dragging a chair out of her living room and setting it up beside the beside she dipped the wash cloths into the bowl, strained them and then started wiping off his face, arms and neck. "Is he going to be alright?" Jae asked her mother, knowing she was nearby in this small apartment. "Yes. The worst should be over...we can't let him sleep though." Her mother was at the doorway, drying off her hands with a towel and peering in at them. Jae folded up a damp washcloth and set in horizontally across his forehead. Tossing a light blanket over him, she stood up, stretching. "How do you intend to do that? He is out cold." Sayuri rolled her eyes and walked over. The air around her stirred as she activated her jutsu. Sparks spluttered around her hand and then long blue, super charged tendrils of lightning sputtered to life. Reaching out she lightly touched his side, sending a harmless but still painful jolt of electricity through his body. "What the hell are you doing?! You could make it worse!" Jae barked at her mother, pushing her off and standing between Samuru and the crazed medic. Sae looked past her daughter and at Samuru, to see if it had done it's job. Jae too turned her body to look. Come on wake up kid. You can't sleep just yet.

Samuru saw what his sister, apartment complexes away most likely, was seeing as he slept. The darkness they dealt with when their father died, the pain their mother went through and her subsequent hatred that was always there despite her inability to move or feed herself. Samuru and Maylee had both suffered bites from her, the pain more emotional then physical. He shifted with discomfort, still asleep, when Sae's finger's touched him. The electric shock did little as well although his body did arc away from her, his own affinity for Raiton keeping him at best numb. But his ankle caught as his body moved and that shot real pain up his leg. He twisted as he woke, ending up on his stomach again as he looked blearily about "..." the headache was still there. Samuru made a weird noise and turned to look at Sae and Jae over his shoulder. After a moment, he pushed himself upright and sat, limply on the bed with his attention on the wall in front of him.

I'm the quiet type...the quiet violent type.

Letting out a small sigh of relief when he sat up, Jae looked back at her mother, their silent communication of raised eyebrows and blinks was enough for them to understand each other. Her mother rose her brow, saying 'see he is fine' while she rolled her eyes implying 'whatever'. Sayuri looked to Samuru and immediately passed her instructions to him and an..invitation "You can't sleep yet, not for another couple of hours. Usually in such a bad case it's twenty four hours and then an examination. For now just sit tight until the symptoms dull. If you need anything else just let me know." She said, turning and heading off to wash up.

Since Samuru was so silent already, once Sae had left the room it only seemed to intensify while Jae mulled over what she wanted to say. Taking a seat on the edge of the bed, she folded one leg underneath her thigh, leaning back on her elbows as she stared at Samuru, who was intently watching the wall. "Soooo. Do you feel any better now, Puker?" She teased, continuing with the light banter she had approached him with when she had first seen him. Assuming he would ignore her she continued on as if she were carrying on with a one sided conversation."You said something about wanting to go home. You still wanna go?" The Kunoichi inquired, looking away from him and at the doorway. She wasn't sure what this kids deal was but he seemed very troubled by something, what she was unsure. His angry sisters face flashed across her mind, causing her to recall her deduction back then. Same angry look I had when I first got here. Holding up a hand she wanted to keep him from answering her last question so she could try something. "Hold that thought. Let me show you something. It's been bugging me since the incident with your hormonal sibling." Jae said, getting to her feet and heading over to a small desk set up at the corner of her room. Pulling open a drawer she produced a small object. Jae stared down at it and then smirked, taking it to Samuru and offering it to him to check out for himself.

The small object was a snow globe. Inside it was an elaborate little replica of a small cabin surrounded by the woodsy nature and white and blue powdered snow. To the touch the snow globe was as icy as the landscape suggested. "This was from my father. He always wanted to build a cabin out in the woods and live the whole woodsman life. " This was Jae laying out the bait for Samuru. Her own test to see if he nibbled. Jae was a very perceptive person, be it because of her photogenic memory or her own drive for knowing everything she could, she wanted to see if she could get more of an inclination of similar perceptiveness from Samuru. If not she would just play it off as wanting to give him something to put on his sore spot. If he did nibble

Not for a few hours....already Muru was feeling tipsy, ready to fall back into the bed that was much larger and softer then the one he had at home. As Sayuri left, he turned his head a fraction to eye Jae as she resorted to calling him names again. His eyes followed her gaze to the door....but he didn't. Not anymore. Going home would mean dealing with his sister who would hate him and be angry at him for his pushing her away. Going home would mean seeing his mother and her unintelligible slurs of hatred. Going home would mean...seeing Rakuin. And feeling the guilt all over again. As Jae got up, Samuru shifted to watch her, his lips still tightly shut What is that...? as she held out the object, he took it carefully, surprised at the icy touch as he turned it over in his hands. As Jae talked about her father, Muru shook the little object, watching the snow drift all around with....yeah, that was a little bit of wonder in his eyes. He'd never seen a snow globe before....never seen snow either. His attention returned to her and Muru held the globe out for her to take back "...no. I don't want to go home..." he said then shut his mouth. Only just now realizing he'd been speaking normally around Jae, Muru wasn't sure if he liked this automatic relaxation that came with being near her. His lips worked as he nibbled the inside of his mouth "....wanted. Not wants?" the question slipped out before he could stop it and Samuru's mouth snapped shut on the words, his jaw going rigid.

I'm the quiet type...the quiet violent type.

Ah. There we go. An actual reaction that showed some sort of curiosity for something other than whatever world he was locking himself into. Her smile was strained then, having touched upon a wound she herself had not yet fully healed. The things I do for curiosities sake. It was more or less deserved. "He can't very well want anything if he's dead now, can he?" It was a rhetorical question. Taking the globe back, she stirred it one more time and waited for the snow to settle. "Why is it that I get the feeling this is the first time you've seen one of these?" She asked him, taking a seat on the edge of the bed a little ways away from him. Is he really deprived? In this whole village she hadn't met someone she was genuinely curious about. After talking with a person for so long she eventually moved onto bigger and better things but since entangling her time with this squirt she was getting more and more interested in his mystery. Every single person had some mystery to them. Some were easier to read than others and some people had more exciting stories than others. What was his? "Well the point of this wasn't to show off what I have. You viciously barked "Stupid Konoha Woman" at me when I am not from around these parts." Of course she dramatically played out the scenario and pouted at the end to add emphasis. Her cheeks flared she glared at him, no malice in her gaze as she did so. "So take it back!" Childish, yes but she was covering her tracks now. In order to successfully change one subject you had to bring something equally juicy to the plate.

A knot started in Samuru's chest as Jae spoke about her father being dead. A BIG knot. He let her take the globe without a spark of interest in his face but...secretly, he really wanted to see the globe some more. It was cold and shiny...he'd been teased for his attraction to shiny things, called Crow by his classmates. He couldn't help it "Because it is." he replied blankly, just staring at her for a few more minutes before frowning "Where are you from then? That way I can use the proper village to insult you with." bite. snap. Where had THAT come from? Even Samuru was a little surprised at how quickly he'd snapped into teasing. Her dramatic display and pout though...one side of his mouth twitched...then the other. Smiling, just a little, at how silly she looked. But it was gone the minute he realized he'd smiled and now he scowled at her, scooting back to the head of the bed and back into his shell. He didn't WANT to like this girl. Not as a friend, not as a person. His knees came up to his chest and he rested his chin on them, returning his gaze to the wall, expression flat "...why is your dad dead?" An...interesting way to phrase the question. Clearly, he wasn't as distracted as Jae might have hoped he'd become.
