2nd Chances

Part 39

He set her down as they slowed and approached this large destroyed room.

There were multiple pillars littering the floor with pieces of rock and wood scattered about.

This was clearly the aftermath of a large battle that had occurred just recently.

Giyuu's ears picked up on the sounds of someone talking somewhere up ahead.

"Stay here, and don't you ever do that again!" Sanemi said loudly in a slightly angered tone.

Shinobu and Giyuu immediately ran over to the where they heard his familiar voice.

The pair rounded a corner of a large pillar that had been knocked over and covered most of their field of view.

It wasn't even two seconds before Sanemi, Genya, Muichiro and Gyomei came into view.

"Hey, over there." Genya said pointing with his one remaining arm.

"Who? Oh, oh shit, perfect." Sanemi said sounding a little relieved.

That wasn't even sarcasm too, they were just the people he needed to find.

"Kocho, Tomioka get over here!" He yelled to them even though they weren't too far away.

They quickly walked over to see Muichiro laid down on the ground, his lower half was covered up with Gyomei's Haori.

"We got a uhhh....." Sanemi tried to start explaining.

"Tokito is heavily injured and he requires medical attention." Gyomei cut in very seriously.

Shinobu got down on the ground next to the boy, his eyes showed a weary but thankful expression.

"What happened?" Giyuu asked.

"We just fought that bastard upper 1. It's a miracle we're even alive." Sanemi answered.

Shinobu looked at the poor boy, he had pierce wound straight through his right shoulder area and a large vertical slice on his left forearm that had been stitched shut.

Their was still a multitude of cuts all over his left arm too, those smaller more cuts weren't stitched close.

They were just deep enough to not clot over on their own naturally, if they didn't do something about it he would only bleed out faster.

It was clear they had tried to give him some kind of medical attention prior to her arrival but it wasn't a whole lot.

If whatever caused that puncture was even slightly closer to the right it was likely he would've already bled out even with breathing.

It was almost as if whatever hit him was only meant to injury and not directly kill him right away.

Either way it was lucky he was still alive.

She pulled out a small pouch from her pocket and tossed it to Giyuu.

"Each of you take one, it's an extended release pain medicine." She said not even looking up.

Giyuu opened the little pouch and handed the two hashira one of the small green medicine capsules inside.

"Bottoms up." Sanemi said as he swallowed the thing before almost gagging.

"It tastes like shit.... but I'll take anything I can get right now."

Muichiro was hemorrhaging blood, and fast.

Their options were very limited, they didn't have anything to give him real medical attention with.

"Giyuu, help me here." She said.
