I placed one hand on my Uncles forehead and the other hovering over his stomach.

"Here..." I found an injury, "here as well..."

I unbuttoned his shirt to see a large black circle on his side and horrible black veins spreading off it.

"What is this?" I looked at the mark, "poison?"

I sighed.

"I need Sakura," I grumbled.

"And Sakura is who you'll get," I heard Shikamaru say, "5 minutes and I'll have her."

"Thank you," I turned around and gave him a weak smile before turning back to Sora and inspecting the weird mark more.

Just as Shikamaru had said, he came back in five minutes with Sakura.

"Oh my—" she looked at Sora in horror, "what is that?"

"I think it's poison," I replied, "not too sure, though."

"I'll take a look," Sakura nodded before getting serious and tying her hair out of her face. Shikamaru left the room and I stood against the wall, watching as Sakura inspected Sora.

"Yes, it's poison. But I've never seen it before," she announced, "I'll have to get blood samples and..."

"If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask," I told her, "but Sakura. I need you to promise me something."

"What is it?" she asked.

"All blood samples... you must destroy them. Don't even leave a drop once you're done testing them," I told her.

"Can I ask why?" she asked.

"We cannot risk our enemies getting our blood," I told her, "it is important. Do you understand? I'm breaking this rule for my Uncle, and for you, and I ask that you do this one thing."

She was silent a moment before she nodded. A moment later, her eyes widened, and she shot over to me.

"I need Riku," she announced before going to the door, "Shikamaru, go get Riku!"

"Right!" I heard he confirm before people running away.

"Isn't he on hospital work today?" I asked Sakura, she nodded.

"But he's in Zethran's division which means that he isn't on call until the afternoon," she replied, I frowned in confusion.

"The afternoon? Aren't the divisions supposed to actually work all day and night with rotations?" I asked her, she laughed but shook her head.

"No, not Zethran's. They're a special unit. There's only four of them. Zethran, Riku, then twins called Tamara and Rosa. Speaking of Tamara, I heard that Zethran and her have become quite close," she informed me.
