twelve: healing

-♡-

"KANROJI-CHAN!"

amata slowly flickers her eyes open. bright white light blinds her at first and she groans before her vision adjusts.

she sees the smiling insect pillar before her.

"k-kocho-san?" she stutters. "where am i?"

"the butterfly estate. tokito-kun brought you here." the pillar announces. amata tries to sit up, and shinobu calmly helps her do so.

amata gasps. "my arm..."

she looks down to see it in a sling. her shoulder-joint is bandaged up, but her legs is entirely fine.

"we had to do some repairs on your joint. the poison broke down your shoulder, but it'll be fine in about three weeks." shinobu states. "you have to remember to take daily pills in order for it to heal."

amata looks back up at shinobu. "tokito-san brought me here?" she says in confusion.

"yep. you and your pet." shinobu says. "i had to tell him to take it back to the dream estate."

"was he okay?" amata worriedly asks. shinobu smiles.

"he was just very muddy and wet, but otherwise okay." shinobu answers.

amata sighs with relief and leans back. "good. that's good." she says to herself.

"i hear you saved two fishermen?" shinobu asks.

amata nods. "who told you that?"

shinobu smiles and stands up. "a little birdy, that's all." she begins to walk away and amata squints her eyebrows, turning to look at the woman.

"huh?" she calls out.

shinobu stops in the doorway and turns to amata.

"let's just say- tokito-kun speaks highly of you."

"help! i need help!"

the wooden door opens and shinobu gasps at the sight of amata in the arms of muichiro. she butterfly girls bring over a stretcher, where muichiro pops the dream pillar on. amata whimpers in pain as the girl look at her arm.

shinobu runs with them, leaving muichiro alone in the doorway.

about an hour later, shinobu returns.

"you're lucky you got her here in time." shinobu says. "that poison was extremely deadly. and why are you both so wet?"

muichiro looks at the pictures of butterflies on the wall.

"there was a snake-demon in the swamp. she was bit by three of it's snakes... or was it four... maybe two... i don't remember." he shrugs.

"well, you can dry off here, and we can wash your clothes." shinobu says. she sees the cat and her face darkens. "but please get rid of the furry thing soon enough."
