(RP) Water Country

[ssAntonio]

The Water country is one of the smaller countries in the world, but it has a strong ninja force. This coupled with it being an island grants the country a great defense against outside threats. The greatest threats to the country seem to come from within, constant wars and strife has caused many citizens and ninja to turn against themselves and the country leadership. Rumors state Akatsuki was formed in the country and that they managed to influence Yondaime Mizukage. Godaime Mizukage eventually came to power and tried to put the country's violence to rest. As time went on, future Mizukage grew to have an iron grip on the events within the country causing the peace to be sustained but at the cost at their freedom.

Rokushiki Fuuma had been traveling for days now. He was new to this land and he had no place to go. Maybe he should try to find a village or a compound to take up some temporary residence. Whatever he did, it would have to be soon. He was hungry and exhausted. On top of that, he wasn't trained for combat and probably couldn't hold his own in a fight if he was attacked or jumped by bandits. Any array of hostile actions would most likely overwhelm him if they an ounce of strength more than he had. Rokushiki was a medic who was best at providing medical assistance to someone rather than putting them in a state where they would require said attention. He wasn't much of a shinobi at all, either. He preferred to stay out of danger and just tend to the needs of those around him.

Rokushiki traveled for a while, alone. He was fine though. He never desired the company of another person. Still, he did agree that the company of a traveling partner would help quite a bit. Maybe he wouldn't be such a loner if he had someone to grow a bit close to on his journeys. No matter; he would do just fine alone, given that he isn't assaulted by any delinquents roaming the country. As he neared civilization, he noticed some passerby pedestrians heading in the same direction as he was as well as some people leaving. This was good. This meant that he would finally find a place to possibly get some food.

Rokushiki found a small little town that was known for being a great little place to stop and rest. There were a few inns around and a couple shops that were family-owned. It was a quaint, little place and it had a soothing air of serenity about it. It didn't seem like anything around here ever went wrong. Rokushiki came to a small dumpling shop and walked up to the shop owner who seemed to be taking orders. "Excuse me, sir. How much are you dumplings," he asked. Instead of getting an answer, he pulled out a board with all of the prices for things painted on. Rokushiki scanned the board and then sighed. He didn't have enough money to pay this bill. Everything was just too expensive. "Looks like I may end up having to pass on this meal. I apologize for taking up your time. I'll be leaving now." As Rokushiki began to walk away, the shop owner began to cough violently. That wasn't just a normal cough. It sounded as if the man had a type of bronchitis or a lung infection. "Excuse me, sir. Let me have a look at that cough. I'm a trained medic so I know what to do. I can offer you some advice for medicine to help cure your issue." Rokushiki approached the man who was too weak to resist the assistance. "Sir, I'm going to listen to your lungs. Please, breathe in and out slowly for me, okay?" Rokushiki put his ear to the man's chest and listened to the man's breathing. It was choppy and very heavy. Just then, the man started to cough and Rokushiki pulled his ears away. He then reached his hands over and felt the man's throat. It was swelling up and the man groaned in pain as Rokushiki prodded him. "Just as I though. You have bronchitis. However, that's not all you have. You also seem to have a minor case of strep throat and you're going to have to take it easy for a while and be sure to drink lots of green tea and get plenty of rest at night." Rokushiki took of the wooden box that was on his back that served as his backpack. It had many different compartments in which he kept different herbs. He opened one of the small drawers and closed it, opening another and closing it, too. He searched through a few more drawers until he came across a certain herb. He pulled out a good amount of it and grabbed a small cloth that was on the counter of the shop. He wrapped up the herbs in it and then placed it into the hands of the shop owner. "You need to grind these herbs up, but just a small amount at a time. Grind up just a few of the smaller herbs or one of the larger herbs and then put it into your tea. They will help take down the inflammation of your throat. However, I don't have anything to help the bronchitis. If you just rest more for the next week or so, that should go away on its own. Well, now that my work is done, I guess I'll be on my way." Rokushiki began to make his way out of the shop, but he was stopped by the man. In a choppy voice, he tried to speak. "Please, sir. I'd like to offer you a meal in return for your services and a place to stay for the night. It's the least I can do for you." Rokushiki was honored. "Of course, sir. It would be disrespectful of me to turn down such gracious hospitality." And with that Rokushiki got himself a meal and a place to stay.

Rokushiki took a seat at the counter and patiently awaited his dumplings. He hadn't had much to eat in these passed few days so he was ready to eat his fill. It as a few minutes before a plate with a few servings of dumplings was presented to him. Rokushiki picked up one row of dumplings and ate one of them. It was sweet and savory. The flavor he had was just something else. The sauce was potent, but it didn't overwhelm the saccharine, sweet flavor of the dumpling itself. He needed another! And another! And another! He finished a few rows of dumplings and another plate was introduce to him by the shop owner. Rokushiki wasn't frugal with his eating. He kept up with the dumplings as they came out to him. He continuously devoured the dumplings one after another and left behind nothing on each plate, He went through about six servings of dumplings before his hunger had been satiated. He leaned back in his chair and relaxed a bit. The shop owner brought some herbal tea to help Rokushiki relax. Rokushiki gladly accepted the tea and sipped it with no haste at all. The only thing he felt now was a great sense of leisure.

About twenty minutes had passed since he finished eating and he stood up and walked into the kitchen, where the shop owner was cleaning the dishes. "Thank you very much for the meal. I haven't had much to eat for the passed few days, so I'm glad that my first good meal was something so amazing. I'm surprised that such amazing dumplings could be found in this quaint, little town." The shop owner smiled a laughed a bit, but then began to cough more. Rokushiki rushed to the man's side and helped him to a seat. The coughing was violent and even blood began to come up. This was bad. The man needed to rest and take some medicine. "Please direct me in the direction of where you reside. I will help you get there so I can lay you down and then brew up some special tea for you." Rokushiki braced the man's body and walked him in the direction he was being directed. The shop owner led Rokushiki through the back door. Once they were through, he noticed a small house that was just behind the shop. It seemed like a simple building with a long history with this man's family. "Do you have any family? I may need there help a little bit to make this medicine more quickly than I could alone." The man nodded to Rokushiki with a positive response, meaning that he did have family. Rokushiki got the man to the door and pushed through, making a bit of a ruckus when he came through. Rokushiki was led by the man to his room and Rokushiki laid the man down on his back and covered his up with a blanket from the closet.

A young girl came running into the room once she heard the ruckus. "What the hell is going on? Who are you? What's wrong with my father?" Rokushiki sighed and then turned to the girl. "My name is Rokushiki Fuuma. I am a combat medic and I am giving your father medical attention. He is very sick and needs medicine now. I'm going to need your assistance to get the medicine ready. Now, tell me, what is your relation to this man?" The girl was shocked from hearing this. Her father was sick and she knew it, but she didn't realize that it was this bad. "I'm his daughter, Tanyu. And just tell me what needs to be done and I'll do it." Rokushiki placed his box on the ground and began to go through the compartments to find his medical tools. "Please go get me a few things. I need a bowl and a rock about the size of your fist. Also, there is a small pouch of herbs that I gave to your father. He left it on the counter over in the dumpling shop. I need that to cure him. Now, hurry!" As the girl ran off to find the tools that Rokushiki asked for, he pulled out a few more herbs that he laid out on a small cloth. The girl hurried back with the tools that were asked for and laid them out in front of Rokushiki. It was time to start creating the medicine now.

Rokushiki took the herbs he had pulled out from his box of wondrous medicines and he dropped them into the bowl as it was handed to him. He took the the rock she brought and and then began to grind them in the bowl. "Okay, you need to get two more things for me. First, I need you to heat some water. Second, I need some regular water. Do nothing to that. Third, I need some cool water. Try to make it nice and cold with some ice or something like that. We need to keep his fever down." Tanyu nodded to Rokushiki and quickly rushed off. She put water into a kettle and then set it over an open flame on the stove. Once she did this, she scurried to get some more water and a bucket. She did this and brought back the bucket filled with water. She set down next to Rokushiki and then ran off to get the cold water. "I wonder why he needs so much water and why he needs these different temperatures. Oh well, it's best not to question his methods. I just need to follow orders and get Mr. Rokushiki Fuuma his tools." As Tanyu ran off, Rokushiki filled the bowl with water and then mix the crushed herbs with the water, creating a cold tea for the shop owner to drink. "This is going to be bitter, but you have to drink it all, okay? Alright, here we go." Rokushik tilted up the shop owner's head and raised the bowl to his lips. He then slowly tipped up the bowl and then the man sip the tea. As the shop owner received his medicinal tea, Tanyu came back with a pail of water that had a block of ice in it. Where she got a block of, he did not know, but it wasn't something that he should be worrying about. "Thank you, Tanyu. Now, get me a cloth or something to dip into the water." Tanyu nodded to Rokushiki and then ran off to find the cloth. The shop owner finished that bitter tea with a scowl on his face the whole time. Rokushiki knew that it was a very bitter tea that was hard to drink, but it did wonders to reduce inflammation and sooth the throat. His coughing would end up being less violent and less dangerous to his health as long as he had some of this about once an hour. As Rokushiki laid the shop owner's head down and pulled the bowl away, Tanyu came back with the cloth as well as the kettle of hot water. "Perfect, Tanyu. You've done well. Now, please dip the cloth in the cold water and fold it. Then lay it over your father's forehead. It'll cool him off and make it more comfortable for him. It may bring the fever done a bit, as well." Tanyu did as Rokushiki asked and wetted the cloth and placed it atop her father's forehead. Rokushiki undid the cloth wrap that held the medicinal herbs he had given to the shop owner before and then put in a few leaves into the bowl. He ground them into a small bits. He poured the hot water into the bowl and then it sit. "I have to let this brew for a little bit. Once it finishes brewing, then I can give it to your father. For now, let's give him some rest. You can stay if you wish, but I'm going to go outside and get some fresh air." Rokushiki stood up and then walked out. He turned his head back to see Tanyu sitting patiently at her father's side. She was a caring, young girl and her father was lucky to have someone that loving around to care for her.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


Rokushiki was standing outside just a bit outside the door. He felt the wind pick up and it was cold. At this time, he wasn't wearing his jacket so he crossed his arms and rubbed his biceps to keep up his warmth. He wasn't too fond of the cold. The only thing it did to him was slow down his blood circulation and make it harder to use his hands. That wasn't something that was good for a medic, especially if it was essential for them to have good control of their hands during a situation, such as surgery. Rokushiki paced around the back of the house for a bit, but then he stopped and just looked up at the sky. It was beginning to grow slightly overcast. It didn't look like rain would come soon, but it was definitely be there that night. He also noticed just how dark it was starting to become. It must have gotten late while they were taking care of the shop owner.

A sliding sound could be heard behind Rokushiki. As he turned around to see who it was, he noticed Tanyu already up close to him. She stared at him intently. It was a little odd for Rokushiki because it looked almost as if Tanyu was angry with him. She eyed him for a good while and then sighed. "Well you definitely aren't a bad guy. You're too nice and you don't seem like you have it in you to hurt anybody." This was true about Rokushiki. He was a nice man with completely innocuous behavior. However, he did have it in him to cause harm to others. He really just didn't have the ability just yet. He hadn't been trained as a shinobi very much and he lacked the skills that the strong shinobi had. They had control over tons of cool ninjutsu and Rokushiki didn't have any jutsu yet. He had focused on herbal medicines more than anything. That's what he loved most of all. He knew nearly everything there was to know about herbal medicines and he basically made it his profession to help people get better by offering an herbal treatment rather than using medicines that could harm your body over a long period of time.

"Well, Miss Tanyu, I'm not a bad guy. After all, I'm barely even a shinobi. I was trained privately to be one, but I was taught more passive methods. It's how I make a living in this world, actually. So, what's your story? Is it just you and your father here or are there others?" Rokushiki didn't mean to pry, but he did need to know this information. It was necessary to know who would be the main caretaker of the shop owner so he could instruct that person on how to prepare the medicine after Rokushiki left. Tanyu looked up at him and glared just a little. She didn't like that he was questioning her, but she didn't have anything to hide, so she would tell him what he was asking. "Well, right now it's just my father and I living here, but I do have a brother who lives here, too. He just isn't here right now. He's traveling to another town for business purposes, but he'll be back in a couple days. So, now it's my turn to ask you a question. How long do you expect to stay here? My father told me that he's letting you stay here. The original offer was just for the night, but he now insists that you stay as long as you'd like. If you aren't planning on being here long, would you at least stay here until my brother returns from his business? My father will be a bit better by then and we'll have two capable people left here to take care of father until he's completely recovered and someone can still look after the shop." The words Tanyu spoke made sense to Rokushiki. It would be best if he stayed here to tend to the shop owner's sickness until there were enough people around to run things. After, this man owned a business and it would be bad if he couldn't take care of business. "Very well, then. I believe I can stay for a while until your brother return. However, your father's sickness will not be fully cured and he will need to rest for at least 10 days after the fever and swelling go down. He'll also need a lot of help moving around since he will definitely be weak. As long as someone is here to help him, then things should be fine once I leave. So I'll accept your hospitality and stay a few more days."

Rokushiki sat outside with Tanyu for a little bit and just enjoyed each others company. Tanyu was strong and she had a lot of will of her own. She was her own person and Rokushiki liked that. However, Tanyu thought Rokushiki had no backbone and wasn't manly enough. She thought that he sometimes needed to be more assertive and less innocuous. It didn't matter though. Tanyu still admired Rokushiki. He was absolutely brilliant, but he wasn't stuck up about he. He was also a kind man who only looked out for the well-being of others. "So, Tanyu, what is it that you do for a living? Do you work in your father's shop or do you something else?" Tanyu sighed and then looked up at him. "Well, I work for my father when he needs help, but I don't get paid for that work. I work around peoples' houses and do housework for them for some extra cash. I''m like a maid, but I don't wear one of those weirdo outfits. But I've been looking into medicine a lot lately. I found some herbs here on our property and I researched a lot until I found them. They're herbs that can be used to recover paralysis, but if they are used in a certain way, they can also be used to cause paralysis. I love to study how to use poisons. I don't quite understand why I'm so fascinated by it, but I just am." Rokushiki was completely surprised by this. He didn't realize that she had any interest in herbs. And even better, she was interested in poisons. Rokushiki, too, was always fascinated by poisonous herbs. He thought it was amazing that some of the best weapons in the world can just grow out of the ground. "You know, I think I could show you how to really put herbs to use. I can show you how each herb has medicinal effects as well as poisonous."

Rokushiki stood up and stretched and reached down a hand to Tanyu. "Time to give your father the special tea now. We can continue this conversation later if you like. But, for now, I have to do my job." Tanyu smiled and took Rokushiki's hand. He helped her up onto her feet. He led her inside and then followed her inside, closing the door gently behind him. He walked over to where the tea had been left to brew and picked it up. He brought it over to the shop owner and removed the damp cloth from his forehead. "It's time for some more medicine. Tanyu, please dampen this cloth again in the cold water. After I give him the tea, you can put it back on." Rokushiki tipped the man's head up and then pushed the bowl up against his lips. The man sipped the tea slowly with leisure and then finished it and laid his head back down. He was thankful for everything that Rokushiki and his daughter were doing for him. Rokushiki put the bowl of tea and stone with the box he carried. He then moved all of the herbs he had out next to it. Tanyu then put the cloth back on her father's head and then walked over to Rokushiki. "Would you like me to show you to your room now? It's getting late and you should probably go get comfortable." Rokushiki smiled at her. "That would be great, Tanyu. Thank you."

Tanyu took Rokushiki's hand and led him up the stair case of the quaint, little house. At the top of the stair case was a hallway with three doors, two on the right side, on the left near the middle of the hallway. She led him halfway down the hall and stopped. She turned to the door on the left side of the hallway and opened it. She led him inside and revealed a large room, large enough to house four people comfortably inside it. She walked over to a closet and opened it, proceeding to then pull out two bedrolls. She laid them out about a foot apart from each other in the center of the room. "I will be sleeping here on the left side. You will sleep on the right. I'm sorry that there aren't any extra rooms in which you can sleep. This is the room that father and I share. The other two rooms are storage rooms for all of my father's supplies and merchandise." Tanyu walked over to Rokushiki and pulled him closer to the beds. "Well I don't know about you, but I'm absolutely exhausted. I believe it's time for bed no. So turn around so that we can both get undressed." Tanyu winked at him and then turned around. She waited for Rokushiki to do the same. Once he did, the two of them began to take off their clothes. Rokushiki undressed quickly. He wasn't wearing a lot. He stood there in the nude until Tanyu gave the okay to get into bed. He was blushing quite a bit, but his blush grew as he heard the sound of Tanyu's kimono fall to the ground. She kicked it off over towards a wall and then she slid into her bed. "Go ahead and get into bed now. I won't look at you." Rokushiki gulped as he turned around and saw Tanyu facing away from him. However, her back was completely exposed all the down to the tops of her hips. His face grew as red as fresh strawberry and he made his way to his bed, trying not to stare at Tanyu's naked body. Rokushiki slid in and then laid on his back. Tanyu laid on her back after he did and then she rolled over to look at him. "Thank you, Rokushiki. I don't know what I would do if I had lost my father." Tanyu blushed as well and then Rokushiki rolled over to look at her with an equally red face. "It's fine. He offered me food and shelter in return for my services. I'm only doing my job by helping him."

Rokushiki was just being modest, but he was still glad that he could help this man. It was an experience that he would not soon forget. And he especially would not forget Tanyu. She was beautiful and kind. She had interests in medicine as well as toxins. She obviously had some minor medical training or else she never would have been able to have any skill in making medicines from herbs. "And besides... I am the one who should be thanking you. You're giving me this bed to sleep in and your father provided me with some of the best food I've eaten in a long time. And I also have to thank you for giving me all that help before when I was preparing the medicine. There was a chance that I never would have saved that man without your help. He was in a very critical state and the time you saved me with your help was probably the only thing that allowed him to survive." Rokushiki smiled. She would have made an excellent assistant back home at his medical practice. Rokushiki never had anyone as helpful as her around before. All of his previous assistants didn't have the right medical training nor did they have the desire to help those required assistance. Tanyu seemed like she would make an excellent doctor if she got the proper training.
