Maru's Hospital Room

Raina sat beside Maru's Hospital bed. She had brought him here from the Caves. She was waiting for him to recover from the doses of painkiller the nurse had given him. While she waited she was fiddling with the crystal she got at the cave and had fitted it to a necklace.

Maru openned his eyes and look to the side , realising he was at the hospital as he saw raina playing with the crystal. Maru opened his mouth. "Haha that crystal brings out your eyes you know?" he chuckled a bit.

Maru spoke. Rain's eyes lit up when she heard him speak. "Maru-san!" She lept out of the chair and glomped him. "You're all better!!" Then she let go and looked at him. "You.. are Maru-san right..?" She looked quite worried.

"Oooof..Haha yes i am the real Maru" Maru looks around the room. "So how long have i been in here?"

She spun around and held up two fingers. "Twooooo days~!" ^o^ She chuckled and sat back in her chair. "I'm glad you are well again.. You had me very worried when you started freaking out.." She leaned forward and rested her arms on the edge of his bed, pointing at his head.

"Two days? Haha thats a record....Hmmm? Ahhh your talking about my other side masa?" Maru stood quiet...and look to her smileing face. "Guess you want an explanation don't you?" Maru look at you.

Raina smiled and shook her head. Masa-san explained it to me.." She started playing with the crystal again. "He explained how you were one then you sealed him away.."

Maru chuckled. "I see ....do you know why i sealed him away?"He look at you.

She shakes her head. "No Maru-san.. Does it have to do with the Villagers?"

Maru sighs. "Me and masa were one person..one mind..We loved killing so very much and we had power to do so. Your village, your clan was the last that we attacked. He wanted to kill you, but i wanted to save you so our minds separated." He looks at you. "I activated a jutsu known as, double vision, and our bodies seperated into 2 and we fought..I defeated him showing i was the dominant mind and sealed him away. He doesn't remember you because you grew and im sure he doesn't care....he just wants to make chaos....I know see that i was a monster and still am you know?.."

Raina shook her head and was silent for a bit. "You are no monster Maru-san.. You are a wonderful leader.. And.. If you hadn't separated.. i'd be dead.." She chuckled a bit and smiled. "Thank you very much.. And I'd never call you a monster.. You defeated Masa again. So you're stronger than him~! Not a monster"

"Thank you...." Maru sits up and kisses raina on her forhead. "I will always protect my angel..Now...what time is it " x.x Maru is clueless.

Raina blushed brightly and stood up quickly scuttling back to the door. "Its ah 12 actually. "^///^ Raina remembered something and pulled out a scroll. "Maru.. I have a message from the elders.. They said something about strangers from foreign lands.." She handed it to him.

Maru chuckled still seeing Raina still timid as ever and grabs the scroll. "Hmm....strangers?" He reads the scroll..."Hmmmmm.... The leaders name is Buke i believe?"

Raina shrugged and looked down. "I do not know.. But.. According to the reports.. One of them.. is a small genin with red hair and a Kanakosa scar.." She clenched her fists.

"Hmmmm Wanna investigate this yourself? or you want my assistance?" Maru waited for a respond.

Raina looked up and shook her head. "If it's who I believe it to be.. I shall be fine on my own.." She stared off into space thinking

"Hmmm as you wish..." He put the scroll in his pocket. He looked out the window...."would you like to learn a jutsu handed down by my familly? Its a fire jutsu...."

Raina's eyes lit up. "Learn a jutsu? From you? Really?" She smiled and started fidgeting like a kid.

Maru summoned a scroll and showed it to Raina.
