| The Color of Incense [closed to Genma & Hayate] |

Takes place late afternoon on March 18, after Wake Up in the Breakdown
Genma managed brief passes at consciousness over the course of two journeys and many hours, one trip in the company of villagers from Itodake to the home of the village head man, a second escorted by ANBU and medics back to Konoha. He remembered telling someone what his suspicions were about likely poison ingredients, and a medic's gloved fingers probing his side. He remembered the prick of a needle sliding into a vein on the back of his hand, and not being able to muster a protest beyond a weak groan.
There had been a stop at the village gates. Hayate coughing. A woman's voice asking what they were supposed to do with injured ANBU. "Log them in, they've already got escort," another female voice had answered, and Genma had opened his eyes to see a dark-haired chuunin from the guard post reading the reg number off his dog tags.
There had been controlled chaos, and Hayate's voice protesting sharply about something, once they'd reached the hospital. Too-bright lights, and shuddering chills when he was stripped to the skin by gentle, efficient hands. A low-pitched voice close to his ear telling him not to fight them.
( Then there had been warmth, at long last warmth. ) |
