Emi crossed her arms over her chest, and met Akira's gaze evenly. She could tell by the look in his eyes that he didn't like her one bit, and that was fine. She didn't like him, either. Troublesome, annoying boy.
Mai's not going to die. I know she won't.
Oh, really. Because you know more than a jonin, now?
Shut up.
Mai may have been annoying sometimes, and overly cheerful, but she was someone Emi had known since childhood. A friend. Maybe not her best friend, but still someone worth protecting.
She's not going to die.
"Right. Sakura-sama will try her best. And she'll save Mai." Emi glared directly at Akira, still meeting his gaze, daring him to contradict her.

"Whatever you say." Akira said with a sigh, crossing his arms over his chest.
Even though he may not show it, he really did care. He was worried; Mai was the only one that had been nice to him the whole time he was here. And even though he knew very well he had no chance with her, he still wanted her to live.

"Emi!" Ibaraki snapped. "Nows not the time. Get me all the bandages you can from your pack and Rikou's."
"And You," he said, turning a steely crimson eye to Akira. "Shut up before I shove my footup your a**."
He knew just as well as anyone what the Chidori and Rasengan could do to someone, he'd grown up seeing them. nd he most certainly didn't need some punk telling him his sister might not make it through.
Doing the best he could with the minor first aid jutsu his mother taught him he started fixing up Rikou.
Kiku narrowed her eyes before walking up to her brother and reluctantly putting her hand on his shoulder in what she hoped was a comforting manner.
"There's nothing we can do right now," She said. "Let's go back and see mom and dad while things are patched up here. Besides, not eating just means less mess. Kaede, wouldyou like to come as well?"

Rikou couldn't believe what he was hearing; Mai might die. These played two emotional paths for Rikou, once again his darker half saying things in his head that conflict in whatever Rikou truly believed. What Rikou hated the most was earlier he wished for Mai to die, he hated her for making him doubt himself. This was the doubt thinking; truly Rikou wanted nothing more than for Mai to see this through to the end, while the doubt wanted nothing more then to end her life. Thankfully Rikou was able to keep the doubt at bay and act like his true self, not the Rikou that wanted revenge. As Ibaraki fixed his wounds, Rikou spoke about Mai, his true self speaking with wisdom.
"She has to survive; it would be the greatest dishonor to die a puppet and not a fighter. If she doesn't, everyone will remember her as a traitor and that memory will over shadow everything she worked hard to achieve. She has to make it, for the sake of memories..."
Rikou needed to be there by his friend's side, he would do the same for anyone else. Despite the pain Mai caused him, she was not herself and was still very much a friend of his. The problem was this Akira guy was in the way of that and Rikou was too injured to fight for his goal. Feeling too drained, Rikou just sat there despite that he wanted to go see Mai if she was going to die.
"For the sake of my memory of you Mai, don't die yet, die when it means something, as it should be for every fighter..."

"H-hai!" Emi flushed, realizing she was still being an idiot. There was no point arguing about Mai. Sakura would do what she could, and there was nothing Emi could do but stand around looking stupid. However, she could help Rikou.
She dumped the contents of her pack out, and gathered up all the bandages she had. She set them next to Ibaraki.
"Rikou, do you have any bandages in your pack?"

Kaede watched the goings-on as if in a catatonic dream; observing with some interesting, but non-responsive. It all seemed to be taken care of, and she'd just prob'ly get in the way, not being a medic-shinobi and all. Despite her lack of care for the Uchiha girl, she was beginning to see why everyone was seeming to radiate 'hate-rays' towards that kid- Akira, was it? Even by her standards the dude was an a*****e. Since when was venting pessimistic views around high-strung injured shinobi a good idea? Her reverie was broken by her spoke name, and she turned to her teammate. The Aburame had no idea what Kiku had just said, but it was just best to smile and say yes. Well... say yes, at least.

"Well...Not exactly..."
Rikou reached for his pack and began to poor its content onto the floor in front of him. What pored out was food wrapping, some empty water bottles, and a empty ramen bowl; disposable of course.
"I kind of only packed food for everyone, I thought we would need food and you guys had enough bandages for yourselves, so I only packed food for the team...Which I kind of ate when we got to the tower..."
Rikou felt a bit guilty, he ended up eating the extra food he packed for Emi and Hiro instead of sharing. He even skipped on the medical stuff to make room for that food too.

 under the [name] of ---& | ⓜⓐⓘ ⓤ©ⓗⓘⓗⓐ
And this is who I am when,
When I don't know myself anymore.
And this is what I choose,
When it's all left up to me.
Mai was still off in her dreamless, empty world, just sitting there. She looked around, and saw nothing, but nothingness.
Sighing, she turned the other way, and saw nothing but a firey red rasengan headed in her direction, the face shadowed over. Mai closed her eyes, ready for impact, but it never came. Opening her eyes again, she saw the person, frozen there.
Then, everything warped, into a twisted dimenson. Then, standing in front of her, grimmacing down at her, stood Mai.
Furrowed brows, the girl stood up. Now, it was Mai to Mai.
"You're really pathetic. This is the person I used to be? Pft." It said.
Mai blinked. "What do you mean?"
It just laughed.
"You know, I'm you. After you join the Akatsuki, of course.
Mai gasped. "A-akatsuki!?" if this was the new her, then does that mean she ended up being the Akatsuki agent?
"Yes, hun. Mmm. You took a nasty wound, that boy gave you." It said evilly.
Mai looked down to her wound, and touched it. It didn't hurt, obviously. This was like a dream. "That boy? You mean.. Jubei? He.. he did this?"
"Yes, yes he did. While I was in control, I managed to pick a fight with this boy. Apparently, he has some real power, and so do you. You took over at the last second."
Mai looked horrified down at the ground. If this happened.... what did everyone think of her? Was she a rougue now, being led off to prison? No. She woudln't be dying.
Mai realized she needed to wake up. Like, now. No matter what pain she was greeted with, she needed to apologize.
"Heh. Good luck with that. They're so pissed with you. Most of them, like Kiku Uzumaki for example, want to kill you."
Mai turned to look at herself again, then sat down. Now, she had decided. She wouldn't wake up, or at least, she in her own self wouldn't. Maybe the Akatsuki Mai would. Hopefully, everyone could hold up.
Sakura could feel her chakra depleting fast, and the wound was also healing well. The only hard part was reconstructed the muscle, and making sure she didn't loose too much blood. But with the other medics helping her, Mai would survive.
This brought relief to the pink haired kinoichi, and a sigh escaped her lips.
"She'll be okay." She said quietly, still focusing her chakra, and trying not to break concentration.
Breathe your life into me.
I can feel you....
I'm falling, falling...
Breath your life into me.

"Eh, Whatever. Mom made me pack enough medical supplies for the entire team, anyway. It should be enough."
Emi bit her lip to keep from grinning. Rikou looked so sheepish about eating all of the food, that it was kinda cute. Like a gigantic puppy. But that thought wasn't leading anywhere Emi wanted to go, so she turned back to Ibaraki.
"It is enough, isn't it?"
((ooh, ooh. Do we get to talk to a comatose Mai? ninja ))

Ibaraki stared wide yed at the mess of linen and gauze and everything that Emi dumped in front of him.
"I think we have enough to mummify him and put him in a pyramid if we need too," Ibaraki laughed. Ibaraki set to work on bandaging the younger kid up and flirting with Emi.
"You know" He said to Emi, only glancing up briefly, "You got some really pretty eyes. Guy could get lost in 'em."
~!~
"See," Kiku said to her obstinate brother. "She's fine."
Very quickly and quietly, Kiku pulled out a senbon and jabbed one of her brother's pressure points, the one that controlled the ability to stand.
"And because you argued with me, I am going to drag you back home and ramen place." She grabbed one of her brother's legs and started to drag him behidn her.

Emi couldn't help but laugh at Ibaraki's first comment. She sat down next to him, and watched him work on Rikou.
Maybe he isn't so bad, after all...
But after hearing the second one, she had immediately changed her mind.
"Don't look to closely, then." She responded tartly. "If you do, I might be tempted to stab you."
((Hehe. I like Kiku. She has an interesting way of doing things. xD))

Kaede duly noted that Kiku was not one to mess with when she was armed with a needle, or probably even a stick. Her long pace allowed her to catch up with her teammate easily, and the kunoichi fell into step beside the Uzumaki. Glancing down at the now temporarily paraplegic shinobi, she raised an eyebrow, the closest thing she got to showing emotion.
"Need help with that, ya?"
The Aburame enquired.

"Sure," Kiku shrugged. "Take his other leg I guess, we'll just drag him down the stairs, try to knock some sense into him."
She turned to Uchiha Sasuke. "If you had just let me do this from the begining my brother's life wouldnt have been at risk and your daughter would be awake."
And then she stalked off, dragging her brother.
~!~!~
"Ooh! So harsh, And so incredibly erotic...do you hear thumping?"
Ibaraki could hear someone thumping down the stairs along with was probably three people. The chakra alone told him one of whom was Jubei, and one was a bit similar so it was probably his tasty looking baby sister. Rawr...
((Ibaraki is a new genma/jiraiya! >.< Also, kinda stole Jubei Solomon, but on the plus side our guild is now accepting new profiles!))

Gosh this guy is annoying. Does he ever stop hitting on girls?
Emi bit her lip and counted to ten before answering. Ibaraki really was in danger of getting stabbed, until she calmed down, anyway.
"Yeah, I hear it. Probably Jubei, or someone equally hyper. And troublesome."
