Leina seemed to materialize in the Grotto quietly and stealthly. She knew no one was here, and didnt care if there even was someone there. Looking silently around the Grotto, Leina walked to the edge of the water and took out a large vial, which was empty. Silently squatting to the floor, she let her silver pools of eyes reflect off the water and her features as well and silently she dipped the vial into the water, disruption her reflection and her sorrounding, causing light ripples in the water.
A few moments after leaving the vial with her hand in the water, she took it out. The vial full, her hand dripping wet, she sealed it and wiped off the water on the outside and packed it on her pack. She had everything with her, her katana, her sebons with the tips dipped in powerful poison, her herbs, everything she needed when she knew of the mission. She was mostly reserved as a medical ninja, but if she needed to fight, she would and will.
It was odd to her, she was bound to the same nature spirit as Nayami-sama, and it prohibited her as well as her fathers clan from using medical/healing jutsus, yet she was able to. Probably because her own clan was bound to have several healing jutsus in their own inventory. Shaking her head lightly, she let the last drop trickle down her index finger before sitting down on the rock in the middle of the Grotto. It would be time to go soon, she just needed to wait for the cue for the mission to begin.

Leina stayed quiet all the time she was in the Grotto, sitting on the rock. It seemed like she was asleep or dead in the most part. Her breathing wasn't noticeable and none of her muscles twitched or moved. The only thing somewhat noticeable moving, was a thin veil or membrance with a fluorocent blue color covering her entire body.
She was healing mentally, physically, and emotionally. Something she alwasy did before a mission even before she came to this village. Opening her eyes, the blue membrane disappeared, and Leina stood up cracking her neck and a few bones, before looking around, and walking towards the Grottos exit slowly.

Nayami came to a quick stop as she recognized Leina just leaving the grotto. She was relieved to see she didn’t have to venture her way through the moist tunnel, completely out of her way as she continued to try and get her squad ready for the mission.
Digging her heels into the ground the Arashikage stopped herself just a few feet away from Leina, her hands gently falling to her sides as she struggled to get something out of her pocket.
“Leina, thank god you’re the last of them.” Nayami muttered as she pulled out a hair elastic, placing it in her mouth as she attempted to pull back her hair. She didn’t really want to be bothered by the long raven strands and knew it would be rather troublesome to constantly have her messy bangs spilling into her eyes with each movement.
“I’m just finishing up and we’re about to leave. I need you to finish what you were doing, get everything you need and meet me on the edge of the forest on the eastern side of the mountain.”
The first bit of her sentence was a tad mumbled since she had the hair elastic in her mouth at the time but gradually during her statement she had pulled back her hair and placed it around the strands so she could finally be freed from the heat that cast down on the back of her neck from the thick hair.
“I won’t wait very long so, try your best to make it there as soon as possible.”
Nayami sighed lightly as she rubbed her jaw; it was getting rather annoying to having to repeat herself over and over again.
Turning around on her heel she flashed Leina a quick wave over her shoulder before she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

((*Back in the Grotto with Hageshii... I believe ^.^; Discard my post and type up your own if its wrong Ichi, I'm not sure if you were waiting on my post or not, but feel free to tell me if mine wasn't needed and type away luff*))
As Nayami remained cradled softly in Hageshii’s broad arms, she couldn’t help herself as she had drifted in and out of a light sleep, her body practically begging for rest as her eyelids tried to latch themselves closed.
“You know…you didn’t have to be so rash to Temaki…he does mean something to me you know…”
Her dull blue eyes looked up into his as she seemed to wear a weak smile upon her lips, the left over blood crusting neatly over her pale skin as it hardened near the cracks of her mouth. “He was…the only one who accepted me and cared, I had no one else…”
Another heavy wince lashed out upon her face as her body curled and twitched within Hageshii’s limbs. “Try not to be to cruel to him, I know you can’t help it, and your loyalty truly does mean everything to me Hageshii, but…at least for my sake try to accept him, as hard as it may be.”
The Arashikage coughed heavily, her chest clenching as she struggled to breathe.
“I’m happy I get to see you again…I was scared…I’d lose you.” She replied quietly, her voice heavy and labored as she allowed her head to drop over Hageshii’s arm, her long black hair spilling down over his skin as her eyes slowly slipped close, trying to calm herself down in order to rid herself of the constant pain.

Hageshii did not spoke as she spoke, she would know all to well what his answer would be to it, she had already seen his answer earlier. He would never accept the other man, no he would more likely kill him then look at him, he would always be an enemy, but if he could keep his hands to himself, maybe Hageshii would let him go. But likely, and Hageshii had already drawn out this conclusion, the man would never do such a thing. He seemed to hold a special place in his heart for Nayami, and Hageshii could not allow such a distraction, especially now that Nayami had finally rid herself of her father.
"I apologize Arashikage-sama...But that is an order I believe I may find trouble following, however if he does not touch you again, I will not remove his fingers..."
Hageshii spoke with his average cold tone, the tone that a normal person would be in fear of, however since he was known to Nayami it was unlikely she would be afraid. He however walked her into the healing waters of the Grotto, not caring that his clothing was becoming wet, and slowly lowered them both into the water. The waters would heal Nayami now, and she would be fine, in the mean time however Hageshii held her to him, and they sat in the healing pools. His jade eyes drifted lazily about, he was tired, the battle had been exhausting as had been the jutsu he had used in it. Slowly, and for pretty much the first time in front of Nayami, he fell into a sleep that hopefully no unlucky soul would have to awaken him from it.
"Nayami...chan..."

Nayami listened carefully to Hageshii’s deep voice, she pretty well was expecting that sort of an answer from him, he never really did fancy people whom tried to be close with her. She sighed lightly as she felt the cool waters rush over her skin, the light blue glow of the nature healing fluids beginning to illuminate the water gently as the both of them remained seating within. The Arashikage sat in silence, not really wanting to bring up Temaki again since Hageshii had already developed a strong distaste for the other shinobi. The thought caused her to wince slightly, knowing that she had once considered Temaki to be one of her closest friends; he was there for her when all light had faded.
Nayami’s bright blue eyes slowly strayed away as the rapidness of her thoughts once again clouded her mind, she didn’t want this to be a problem, she just wanted it to end.
Allowing her thoughts to try and collect, she could fully feel her body begin to return back to normal, the pain, the suffering, all gone as her crystal orbs once again regained their shine.
As she parted her lips to speak with Hageshii for a second time, her ears were filled with the soft breaths from above, her arms still wrapped tightly around her as it seems he had drifted off into a deep sleep.
Arching her head up slowly she looked over his face, and for once the cold, anger-sharpened man looked calm, almost peaceful as he sat with her in the grotto.
Nayami really couldn’t help herself as a small smile broke out upon her lips, her hand soon coming up as she delicately traced his cheek with the back of her index finger. “Ill stay…I know you’d probably want that.” The Arashikage whispered before she slowly leaned back, resting her body completely against his as she seemed to take in the warm comfort of his touch. It wasn’t long before Nayami as well drifted off into a light sleep, the trickling of water calming her down completely as the comfort of Hageshii’s arms finally cradled her to rest.

Hageshii dreamt silent dreams, it was better then normal, since he didn't really sleep often because of the nightmares he had when he was asleep. However it was a shortlived peace, for Hageshii awoke not to long after, he noticed Nayami still resting in his arms, though she had healed as had he. His jade eyes gazed down upon her face, he watched her chest rise as she took her light breaths, then his gaze drifted back up to her face. Her lips they where so lucious and full of life, there was a shiver the flew down his spine as he felt something inside of him, it was as though it nudged him. He suddenly felt that he should do something that he would never do, slowly he leaned over her and brought his head to her own.
As though everything decided to slow itself down to a crawl, he moved to her, slowly their lips met, a wonderful feeling flew through his body as he sat with his lips pressed to her own. He felt odd, it was a feeling he had never experienced, after all he was such a strict and critical man like that that he would never do such a thing. It was not his way, he usually was the brooding man, but something inside of him had nudged him into finally allowing some of that buried and dead emotion to return.
"Nayami-chan..."
Slowly he parted from her, looking down up what he had done, it was as though he had no idea what he had just done, and he slowly leaned back and allowed her to sleep. He didn't want to bother her unless she was awake, or if she was being bothered by someone else that would enter the Grotto as well. He could not allow someone to bother them at the moment, so now he brooded upon what he would do if he ever saw that man again, and Nayami wasn't around.

Rei grunted as he practically slammed himself into the boulder covering the Grotto. He wasn't trying to, but at this rate, he was going to be more banged up from simply trying to get to the Grotto so he could recover the worst of his injuries than fighting with Zellix. And the fight had been bad enough, he didn't need to be trying to kill himself along the way. He wiped some blood off of his forehead, the skin having torn when he banged his head on the stone barrier. He took a deep breath before setting the sword's tip into the ground to support himself and pressed one hand against it, dragging himself and the blade into the Grotto as quietly as he could manage.
Once he was inside, Rei simply leaned the weapon against the wall closest to the pool he was going to rest in, letting Hageshii have the one he was in to himself. Sleep...Gotta heal, then I need to...sleep... He thought weakly, holding one hand up to his mouth and nose before simply dropping into the pool. He didn't have the energy to do much else, so now he was just floating in one of the Grotto's pools as he quickly fell asleep from the calm effects of the healing waters and his own exhaustion.

Nayami really couldn’t feel it when Hageshii had kissed her, her subconscious mind noting it when his lips had brushed up against her own but other then that, it had all just been a dream to her, her light sleep soon falling into a deep one.
As she remained cradled in his broad arms, the Arashikage’s body seemed to roll over slightly, her arms softly latching around his as she hugged one of his arms to her chest.
Her gentle breaths continued to fill the air, her chest slowly rising with each intake. It wasn’t till she began to smell the familiar scent of blood within the air that finally caused the Kage to stir.
Slowly letting go of Hageshii’s arm Nayami brought up both of her hands as she rubbed the back of her wrists across her eyes, her lips soon parting in a small yawn.
“Oh…I must’ve completely dozed off…” Nayami murmured as another quiet yawn soon followed her words. Her bright blue eyes lazily scanned the area, the image still coming up a bit blurry as sleep continued to taint her eyesight.
With an exaggerated sigh she gently threw her head back against Hageshii’s chest, her chin tilting up as she looked up into Hageshii’s handsome jade eyes. “I knew you’d stay with me for the whole time.” Smiling she reached up and gently traced the edge of his defined jaw with the tip of her finger.
“As much as I’d love to stay with you Hageshii, there are a few important matters I must attend to.” Rising up from the relaxing pool, hundreds of tiny droplets of water trickled down her body, her clothing hugging her skin ever so tightly.
“I wish for you to go rest up, your body still needs more rest.” Crouching down she made a slight gesture that she wanted to kiss him but soon chewed on her bottom lip instead, remembering how he had warned her about that sort of stuff before. “You can rest up in my house if you like, I’ll be there not to shortly, I’m sure there’s loads of paper to catch up on.”
Stepping out from the water, a cool shiver cascaded down her back. “I’ll see you in a bit Hageshii.” Flashing him a warm smile over her shoulder, Nayami soon disappeared amongst the shadows as she headed toward the exit of the grotto.

Leina blinked once to adjust her eyes to the darkness of the Grotto. Looking around several times and thinking no one was there she was about to leave until she heard a light breathing and sensed someone around in the Grotto. She was still a bit unstable on her feet and was real careful not to fall or trip on a rock into the water or worse, in her mind, on the solid ground.
Though she was indeed careful, she lost her balance either way and fell forward catching herself in time before smashing her shoulder onto the Grotto wall. As if she was doing a push up she sighed and let herself sit down slowly onto the ground. 'Maybe I should just sit here.....' she stopped in mid-thought after noticing someone floating in the pool in front of her asleep, Rei.
'He's knocked out completely......But so was I' she thought and crossed her arms a bit annoyed that he didnt tell her he was weaker and even more tired than he led her believe. She was pondering on what to do as his punishment. 'Jump in and startle him?...Throw a rock at his head?...Shock him lightly?....Or a nice wake up call?' she smirked lightly and shook her head.
Quietly and slowly, Leina lifted herself up and looked for the best angle to tackle Rei in surprise without hurting herself or him. Taking a step forward, Leina found the perfect spot, but as she placed her footing wrong, she accidentally slipped and let out a small shriek, something she had never done in the longest time, and splashed into the pool Rei was in and surfacing quickly to cough up water and catch some air.

Rei jumped at the sound of Leina shrieking, going under since he was on a not-so-steady balance floating in the water and coming back up, sputtering moreso since he'd been unconscious just a moment ago. He accidentally spat some of the water into Leina's face, not being able to see at the moment and trying to not drown on a mouthful of it. He started to tread water, looking around frantically like he was being attacked until he saw Leina in front of him. How'd she find out...
"L-Leina-san...What're you doing here?" He asked immediately, trying not to let the pains in his muscles show and maybe keep her mind off of the obvious winces he had from time to time by forcing himself to move.

Leina made a face of disgust when she felt Rei spit on her face. "Ugh......." she said quietly getting water from the Grotto splashing her face clean. She looked at Rei and looked at his face as if he saw a ghost or something. She lightly scratched the back of her neck and shrugged. Rei was lucky enough that she had her mind closed off to any thoughts, if not, she would have started bombarding him qith questions until her was neck deep of them.
"I came to completely heal myself......." she said quietly "I have a light headache and Im really not stable on my feet right now, thats how I tripped and slipped in here........" she didnt want to go on explaining how she became weak at the moment right now. "So yes.....Sorry for waking you......How do you feel anyways? You were snoring like a baby" she smiled lightly, hopeful that he knew she was playing around.

Rei blinked and blushed slightly. He snored like a baby? How the hell did that happen, he had passed out anyway.
"I...did?" He asked, rubbing the back of his head this time and regretting it, dropping his arm back into the water and holding it from the sharp pain of his muscles screaming in protest against stretching so much. "I-I'm fine, just some aching muscles here and there. Nothing unusual after a fight like that...I'm glad I got off with as little as I did." He replied, smiling a bit and hoping she'd buy it. If his mother was around to see him, she'd probably twist his ear off for constantly flirting with the fine line between hard training and self abuse.
"It's all right...I didn't exactly get in very well myself. I don't even remember hitting the water...guess it's a good thing I didn't miss, huh?" He said, looking to one side nervously.

"No silly. I was playing around" Leina wanted to laugh. He actually fell for it, maybe she should have said it more sarcastically. She then got a worried look on her face when he flinched/winced in pain and then answered her quickly before she could ask him if he was okay. "Okay then...If you say so...." Leina said and lifted herself off the water to sit on the edge letting her feet dangle in the water still and nodded to his question.
"Yeah, lucky....." she replied quietly and sat there letting the water absorb into her. She wasnt going to annoy Rei saying he wasnt okay at all, that he should have told her he still felt weak or in pain. He was in the Grotto anyways. The Grotto watert healed much better than any of her healing jutsus would.

Rei blushed again, following Leina's example and sitting on the side so he wouldn't work himself too hard and wind up drowning in the healing waters. He sighed as he sat back against one of the rocks, keeping himself mostly submerged so that some of him could get the most of the healing effects.
"Oh...I don't know what I sound like when I sleep, I wouldn't doubt what somebody says about it if it wasn't meant to be spiteful." He replied, nodding his head. "So it's likely I'd believe just about anything you said, Leina-san." He added, looking up at her. There were some obvious exceptions like saying flat out ridiculous things just to test his claim or if he knew the truth beforehand.
