10 - Relationships

They then made it to Sunan and the man took the group home to his sick wife. The man led them to his small house where his wife was lying on a bed, she looked very weak and sick. Nishiroma moved to her bedside and began checking her condition

Nishiroma: (she examined the wife) How long has she been like this?

Reika watched with concern, standing with Iwashi and Yaguchi whom had a straight face, examining the situation

Man: Her illness started a couple of years ago... (He spoke with a dejected tone, looking helplessly at his wife) She can barely get out of bed anymore and her condition has only been getting worse...

Reika: that's terrible

Yaguchi: (he spoke firmly, his hands inside his pockets as he observed the scene) Can she even be helped at this point?

Man: (he looked at Yaguchi with a flicker of hope and desperation) Yes, yes, she can! An old friend told me that there's a girl in Konoha who's blood can heal the most severe conditions...

Reika gulped

Yaguchi: (he furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Reika)

Iwashi: (He looked from Reika to the sick woman, her expression serious) How long does she have left?

Man: Not very long... (he then spoke in a pleading tone) That's why you have to help her...

The man's daughter entered the room, a worried expression on her face, she looked from her mother to the group, she seemed to be around the same age as the trio

Man's daughter: (she looked at the group skeptically) Who are they? And why the hell are they here?

Man: (he motioned for the daughter to calm down) They're here to help your mother, honey....

Man's daughter: (she seemed unconvinced, her eyes narrowing) How can a bunch of kids help mom?

Man: (he spoke softly, trying to reassure her) Don't worry, Kaneko here has special blood... she can save your mother's life...

Man's daughter: It's her fault in the first place! because of you and your clan we got kicked out of Yama in the first

Reika: oh! (Reika's eyes widened at the sudden hostility)

Yaguchi: (he gave Reika a sidelong glance) You didn't even do anything this time, don't worry about it...

Man's daughter: (she continued to glare at Reika) If you have the power to heal someone why didn't you do it earlier?! People have been dying waiting for your 'miracle' that isn't even a miracle! It's a lie!

Reika: yeah.. how ironic, huh?

Man's daughter: (Her expression soured further as she looked at Reika with a mix of anger and frustration) It must be great, having all that power and doing nothing with it! People are dying out there, and you're just standing there like an idiot!

Iwashi: while I understand your frustration, Kaneko's abilities are one many seek. While their blood may be useful, it's pointless to give it to everyone who needs it because in the end blood is limited.

Man's daughter: (Her hands clenched into fists as she spoke, her voice shaking with anger) So what, we're just supposed to sit here and wait until she decides she's 'ready' to save my mother?!

Reika: kid... my abilities don't develop until I'm 13

Man's daughter: (she looked at Reika with a mix of disbelief and anger) Is that supposed to make me feel better?! My mom is dying, and you're saying you're not even in control of your 'life-saving abilities'?!
