Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ishira was surprised, he was letting her pass? Letting her have what she wanted? Interesting... She watched his eyes as she slowly moved around him. She should have been paying attention to other things, like his hands. He grabbed her arm, which caused her to scream out. Pain shot up her arm like it had just been re broken and it sent her to the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes as she felt the world start to spin angerly, hitting her over and over with shocks of pain. She tried to look at him, but he doubled and she felt nausea wash over her.

"Let go, please let go.." She whimpered between heavy breaths as she tried to balance herself but couldnt. Her other hand couldnt seem to find the ground and her body was becoming heavy, causing her to lean back and pull. That brought another cry and the tears slipped from her eyes.

He let go and the world slowed to a stop. She used her other arm to steady herself as she gathered her breath and thoughts back to normal.. Or at least kind of normal. She glared at Neko. Did he really have to do that? Hes probably had a broken bone or two in his life and he should know it didnt feel great to have some one grabbed the thing that hurt. He returned and she did not fight him this time, last thing she needed was him to grab her damn arm again. She looked away from him and down to her arm, looking slightly emotionless. When he mentioned her ribs she just nodded, and then sat up so she wouldnt be leaning on her arm anymore. She pulled on the bow of her obi and let it fall so she could catch the decorative piece of fabric that was acting as her shirt. She moved carefully so she didnt expose any of her chest, as she lightly touched the bruised skin that had been hidden under her obi. It matched the color of her knuckles.
"Here, only ones cracked... As far as the arm goes, i think its a waste until im back to my normal form. I dont think it will set right at all... Its going to need more then this..." Her voice was low and she didnt look at him as she spoke. This sucked, and what bothered her more was that now, all of her questions were peeking back into the front of her mind. Great, just great.

The world spun again and she doubled over, unable to keep herself up. She didnt move the arm, couldnt, so hopefully it didnt disrupt his healing. Her free hand balled up into the decorative fabric as she cried out. She took a few deep breaths as the kunai wrapped around her and even felt a bit better after the bones were set. She fought through the tears until he poured the green chakra through her and suddenly there wasnt a reason for the tears. She watched his hands work again as she sat back up, swaying a little because the world still spun. He went to her chest and she moved her bruised hand away slightly so he would have room. Sighing, she smiled when it didnt hurt anymore and she looked at him, his eyes meeting hers for a moment before he touched her cut. The pain was gone, which was pleasing but she didnt understand completely why he had healed her. Wasnt that the second stage? Why hadnt he healed her before? She grimaced, the questions were sneaking up.

"Ijustu... " It must have been like her Hikari.. Or maybe Shaman? She took in a deep breath. "Thank you... "

"Why havent you healed yourself Neko? I know you were hurt, and im sure your still hurt... Why have you healed me before yourself? Why did you leave me human then?" Ishira stood, walking up to him with curious eyes. She didnt want to hold back the questions, but a few shed keep back, knowing that some could possibly end up badly. He was right, she was still human. Yes there may have been another step, but did taking the seal off and putting it back on take that much energy and time? "I cant sleep, im distracted, which was my reasoning to train. I wanted something to do, to keep myself occupied, and to help me along this path your carving for me."

"Nature?" Ishira cocked a brow. "Do you mean the thing you keep chained away?" She smirked, watching as he touched the wound she knew was still bugging him. She had been right, which made her wonder how many other things she thought were right. He moved, sitting down before her and looking at her. He knew this would take awhile which also pleased her. He was understanding her a bit more. So.. He shouldnt be surprised at what she was going to do. Ishira went up to him, leaned down and put her hands on her knees, tangling them together. She wanted to see everything, his reactions, his thoughts, anything that passed through his eyes when nothing else showed through his body, so she needed to look directly into them. "You didnt answer my other question. Why did you leave me human then? And why did you play the games you did when you told me you wouldnt?"

Ishira shook her head, narrowing her eyes at him.
"Was it only an action Neko? The way you acted wasnt you, i didnt expect what you gave me... Some things were not just an action, there was something else. You keep avoiding things, keep giving yourself time to think about what you will say to throw me off. I want to know, you said youd be honest. Was it only an action? Did you show me the things you did to throw me into this loop of confusion? I said no fake emotions and yet you played with me.. " She didnt seem upset, her eyes didnt even show a sign of it. She was curious, wondering why certain things were happening. Maybe it was worry...

Emotions... How much she wished she could throw them away right now.

"In the act yes, but after, things you did confused me... I want understand you better, but each time i think i have a grasp at what you do, you do something else. It was an action but are you suppose to take pleasure in something that is just an action? Are you suppose to work on making sure the other is pleased? If not then maybe i didnt see it as an action... Let alone i marked you, just as you marked me. Why did you heal that mark when my arm was cracked and my back bled? Why was the mark more important?" She bent her knees and sat down. She remembered her thoughts afterwards and what they had both said. "You said things before you left that meant something else. Tell me what you truly wanted to say."
