"Right! Piggybacking Kuromaru to the hospital it is!" Katsuko grinned toothily and slapped her hands together again, directing her chakra into the muscles of her back and shoulders. Her pathways buzzed and tingled as chakra swirled; not an unpleasant feeling. Siphoning chakra into as large an area as her back and shoulder muscles didn't cause as much pain as, say, siphoning it to the soles of her feet. It took less energy and concentration to direct her chakra flow into larger areas.

Rolling her shoulders, Katsuko turned and knelt on one knee. She looked over her shoulder at Tsume and Kuromaru, who were watching her with bemused expressions on their faces. "Well? Hop on. Faster we get you to the hospital the better."
