Zayla Eternal Devari's Immortality

The Sneak Attack Fails!

"JUST LOOK AT ALL THESE INJURIES!" Tonton's yell echoed through the cabin making most of those within flinch, she eyed them, "and I suppose now you just expect me to help the lot of you eh?" "Yes", Yuki said flatly. "Yes, please..." Tanjiro begged. Tonton looked at him, "aw dear... you should've come to me first, just look at that poor arm of yours... I'll need to put you under to fix that..." Tanjiro shrank back. "But first..." Tonton's eyes scanned over the people in the room, "anyone who isn't injured at all, go into the kitchen and get some food and water ready for those injured". Yena patted Tanjiro's shoulder and walked into the kitchen followed by Rex, Skarra and- "Hold it! Bodoku..." She growled as he and Zayla went to follow. He looked round at her withholding a cheeky smile, "you're bleeding all over the floor, sit down. You too Zayla I want to check you over". They both did as they were told, "I'll see you first Bodoku and Ryku, those look like nasty wounds, come and sit in front of me". Bodoku sighed as he stood up and walked to the long red sofa in front of her, Ryku sat beside him. Tonton checked the back of Ryku's head, "alright, just some paste and rest is all you need dear". "Thank you- ah..." He gasped as she immediately began dressed his wound after slapping the paste on his head. "Sorry dear did that hurt?" "Yes..." "Think twice before you do anything reckless". Ryku stared at her with discomfort, "you can go into the kitchen and help out now". He stood and walked away still looking at her. "That was a little harsh", Bodoku mentioned. "Yes well, shut up", she ordered making him raise a brow. She removed the blood soaked top he had been holding against his wound and sighed with concern, "seriously... a wound this bad and you tried to sneak away...?" "I uh... didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable because of what happened before..." Tonton noticed his awkward, concerned expression. She grabbed a needle and thread after gently cleaning his wound, "look... I'm sorry about that okay, it's true I do like you but, I see what you and Zayla have and it's special. I'm alright with that, I know you'll treat each other right. Besides it was a spur of the moment thing if I'm honest... I acted without thinking but I know you two are together", she waggled her eyebrows as he blushed. "You..." he sighed then smiled as she awaited the rest of his sentence, "you're alright Tonton, thanks". She smiled finishing her sewing then made him grimace as she slapped blue paste on top of his wound before bandaging his mid section. He flinched back as she went to unbandage his arm injury, "what's the matter?" "I'm afraid you'll put that stuff on it..." He moaned. "Aw don't be such a baby, are you a man or a mouse?" She unraveled the bandage and gasped, "what is it?" Bodoku looked at his wound, black scorch marks had spread through part of his skin, "what was put on this?" "A healing spray", Tidus mentioned. "I'll need it if I'm going to make an antidote..." she said. "Ah.... an antidote...?" Tidus rushed over with the spray. "Yes, antidote. That healing spray seems to have caused a slow poison to spread through Bodoku's blood. It was not meant for humans without Zenfemorposis..." She rushed towards a room and glanced back, "I'm sorry, I will get to the rest of you soon I just need to whip this up quickly or... you know... Bodoku will die", she ran into the room. Zayla sat beside Bodoku, "are you okay, how are you feeling?" "You're not dying are you, I mean, do you feel like you're dying. Can you breath properly!?" "Jiro, relax. I feel fine". "She said it has caused a slow poison, left untreated he would certainly die then", Ryku's eyes widened, "so he is in good hands then right?" "For sure, Tonton can cure anything", Zayla nodded. Tonton burst through the door and sat before Bodoku, "drink this". He was handed a glass jar with a small amount of black paste mixed in the bottom, "oh, hold on!" She ran into the kitchen, then after a few seconds reappeared and poured water into it giving it a little stir, "now drink it". Zayla made a small gag sound just smelling the weird liquid. Bodoku glanced at her and she smiled slightly with a nod urging him to drink it, "that looks vile..." Ryku said. "Smells vile..." Tidus added. "Not helping..." Bodoku moaned, he brought it to his lips, as he took a sip, Tonton stabbed a needle into his wound making him spit the liquid into her face and choke. Zayla patted his back, "what did you do that for!?" she growled. Tonton wiped her face with a cloth, "the cure wasn't in the jar sweetie, it was in this, but I needed to overwhelm his senses to give it to him and get the blood pumping quicker. You see Bodoku, is well... too calm. His blood pressure is always normal which means it would completely ghost the cure out of his system without even making a dent to the poison thanks to the spray so... I had to get it up". Bodoku ceased coughing and glanced up at her, Tidus cleared his throat after Tanjiro said, "and people say I should think before I speak..." "Ha, ha ya rude buggers. Sorry about that Bodoku..." "W-what was in the jar?" "Water and toothpaste mixed with a lovely skin cream I use". The others stared with their mouths wide open, "what, I knew you'd spit it out!" "Sure..." Zayla glared at her making her tense. "Anyway... this might sting a bit..." She carefully, thoroughly cleaned his wound then dressed it, "I'll need to give you another two injections hence why I didn't paste your arm, come back to me in an hour, but get some rest for now". "Right... thanks", Zayla helped him up then walked him back to where he was sat. "Tidus", Tonton called. "Yes", he looked at her. "Well don't be such a worry wort I can see your injuries from here". "I know that, I'm just wondering whether to deal with them on my own or not..." he replied making Tanjiro chuckle. Tonton shook her head, "alright then, since you have new DNA rushing through your blood cells it's not like I need to make sure your not breaking down like those clones, you see to yourself hun". "No whoa, whoa, wait I'm coming..." He rushed to sit before her. "I would've thought you'd see Choji before me anyway..." Ryku looked around, "where is Choji?" "I didn't see him come in", Zayla mentioned. Tonton looked up after taking some of Tidus' blood, "someone get out there, he could've fainted or something". "He did have a hole in his shoulder", Tidus mentioned. "I will see if he is alright", Ryku said, he stood up and walked out.
