Another!

Taichi knew where he was going this time to meet with Kenshin in regards to a "procedure" being done. He knew exactly what he wanted and he was pretty sure that Kenshin had it. Taichi walked through the front door of the morgue and he waited at the front counter, thinking about how the procedure went the time before. When he got the Senju DNA from the same man in the same room.

The procedure was extremely fast, to the point that he could not believe the skill that Kenshin had when it came to performing such procedures on people. There was little pain due to his medical ninjutsu, which was a relief the first time he had a transplant done. He was concerned that it was going to be a painful process, but in no way was that the truth. Shortly after he got the Senju DNA, he immediately began working on first, getting used to the transplant, then once he felt comfortable with it, he began training. The training that he went under was extensive and extremely intense. He worked on his elemental chakra transformations religiously, trying to hone his skills in controlling them.

Once he felt that he had control on the basic elements, he pushed his body even further to understand how to control the advanced and legendary elemental chakra transformation, known simply as Wood Release. It produced extremely strong techniques, some of which he knew personally and used often. That is what gave him his wood clones, which he loved to use more than anything that he knew to date.

He saw a bell on the counter and decided to give it a ring. He would then wait to see if Kenshin was actually in his shop this time, being hopeful, he didn't even bother sitting down. He stood up straight, anxious for Kenshin's arrival into the cold and dark room.

Luckily for Taichi, Kenshin was indeed within the room, and he had seen the teen with his Byakugan far before he had even entered the hospital. The moment that he arrived near the morgue the door would open, revealing the dishevelled form of ‘stark’ beckoning him inside.

“Welcome back Taichi, boss was waiting for ya” he would state, closing the door behind them if the younger male got the hint and walked into the room with him. Provided that this did indeed happen Kenshin would drop the act the moment the door closed, releasing a light chuckle and turning to face the boy.

“Here to buy another?” The man would simply ask, a small smirk fixed firmly upon his rugged face.

Taichi was more than excited to see "Stark" was indeed in business on this visit. When he saw Stark beckoning him inside, he would indeed follow him into the morgue. Taichi was wondering how long he was going to keep up the disgruntled growl that was Stark's voice and go back into Kenshin's natural speaking voice.

He got his answer almost immediately, for when the door shut, Taichi heard the all to familiar voice of Kenshin Uzumaki beckon to him. Kenshin asked Taichi if he would like to buy another transplant, which Taichi eagerly responded with a "Yes, sir. The Senju transplant that you provided me has been an indispensable piece of my armory and I now am here for another boost in my power. I search for that of a transplant from the Juugo clan. Is this something you have in your stock?" Taichi knew exactly what he wanted this time around, and he wanted to get it as soon as possible.

He had read stories of the Juugo clan when he was a child, here in Suna library. The things that the Juugo clans could do naturally was absolutely astounding, and now he wanted to be able to have even just a taste of what they were capable of within himself. After answering Kenshin's question, he would stand there, patiently yet anxiously awaiting the answer he would receive from the former Kazekage himself.

Kenshin would release a light chuckle as the boy questioned whether Juugo DNA was something he had in stock… it was, and like Senju it was one of his most highly valued transplants.

“I must say you truly have exquisite taste in transplants Taichi, but as I’m sure you’re aware, such tastes will not come cheap. The Natural Berserker Bloodline is truly something fearsome and powerful… and much like Senju, expensive. Another 25,000 Ryo to be exact.” The Ragdoll would explain.

Provided that Taichi paid the Blood Price Kenshin would request that the Uchiha remove his shirt, and once that was done he would use the Chakra Anaesthetic technique to numb everything that the boy felt for the next few minutes. He would tell Taichi to lie down upon one of the vacant tables as he unsealed the corpse of Snow, the mountain of a man barely managing to fit upon the metal ‘tables’ in his ‘office’. He would carefully remove one of the mans valuable lungs, before moving over towards The Strange Uchiha, grabbing a stray scalpel as he approached. With the scalpel he would make a sizable incision upon the abdomen of the Uchiha, large enough for him to open his chest savity, and with a little extra chakra into the scalpel, slice through his ribcage. The Reaper would waste no time in putting the scalpel down and placing his hand upon the large incision, sending his threads into the body of the Uchiha, using them to sever the connections of one of the boys and then fishing it from his body, before pushing the new organ into the incision and using his threads to push it into the correct position. Once this was done he would pull his hands away and simply activate his Mystical Palm Aura and heal the boy entirely. Kenshin would inform him of the operations success and point him towards some towels in the corner of the room that he could use to wipe off any excess blood. Once The Uchiha had cleaned himself up The Reaper would ask if that was all he required, and if so he would then ask the boy to leave.

Taichi was more than excited, and Kenshin was right, he didn’t have a taste for these transplants, it was more of a hunger. He desired the power that they gave him, it was more than he could have ever imagined possible, but he was happy that he had the money to get the transplants that he wanted. Kenshin would speak about the price, it being the same price that the Senju DNA was. The price was not something Taichi was worried about, there was a reason why he had been taking down so many contracts, just so he could fork the money over to the man with the bodies behind him.

With the mention of the price, Taichi would do just as he did the time before, the money was always up front. The first time he purchased himself a transplant, he wasn’t entirely sure if he could trust Kenshin, as a matter of fact, he was sure that he couldn’t, but he was naive. He trust Kenshin and he proved to be an upstanding individual, despite being the head of a band of criminals. While he, even then was not entirely sure on what the relationship was between Kenshin and the rest of Suna’s residence. But what he did know is when it came to business, he was a man that took his position very seriously.

He would take his blue jacket off and hang it over his forearm as he began walking into the operating room as he did the first time he completed this type of transaction with Kenshin. He saw a massive corpse on the tables, the size of the man was inconceivable. The table looked as though it was going to give under the sheer weight of the man laying atop the table. He wasn’t sure if that was the corpse that he was about to receive an organ from, but he did think for a moment on how an organ from a body so large would work inside a man that is smaller than he. The thought quickly fleeted out of his mind when he saw the empty table that was in front of him.

He took off his shirt, placing it on top of his jacket that was still hanging over his forearm. He placed his clothing onto the counter next to the tables, it seemed the counter had nothing on it, so he had hoped this would be okay with Kenshin. If it wasn’t then he would hope Kenshin would tell him a better place to put his things if not on the counter next to the table. He then stood next to the table, turning around he sat onto the cold metal, then threw his legs over and leaned back. The metal felt freezing on his back, but he calmed his body, readying himself for the procedure to come.

Due to the chakra anesthetic, he was unable to feel anything from his neck down to his waist. The feeling was as odd as it was uncomfortable, but he knew that it was going to be extremely important for the procedure was going to happen to him while he was awake, and Kenshin was going to have to cut open his midsection to transplant whichever organ it was going to be that Kenshin would choose to put inside of his body.

Taichi laid on the table, breathing slowly, wanting to ensure he didn’t cause any issues with the procedure at hand. The feeling of his midsection was gone completely, and this was when the procedure would begin. Kenshin went over to the massive man’s corpse and he cut open the midsection. The sound of the bone being sliced was sickenly odd, due to the chakra being infused with the blade, it would cut with little effort. This was a fact that Taichi could not decide whether or not that was a good thing, or a bad thing. He ultimately decided it was good so that way he didn’t need to grab himself a bone saw to get it done.

When Kenshin was done with corpse on the other side of the room, he pulled out a lung from the corpse. Taichi nerves began to increase. “How the hell is that large man’s lung going to work in a body much smaller than his?” Taichi’s thought to himself, not wanting to talk while Kenshin was mid procedure. His mind would also connect the fact that he was going to be taking out one of Taichi’s lunges to be replaced. The thought of having an organ that humans need operational every single second of the day was concerning to him. But he was able to trust Kenshin and his knowledge of how the body worked, for he was the expert in this situation, not himself. Taichi softly closed his eyes, not really wanting to see what was going on during this portion of the procedure.

Kenshin would slice open directly through the ribcage of Taichi, while he couldn’t feel what was going on, he still knew that that was happening to his body. Kenshin would remove his lung, which caused Taichi the inability to breathe for a few moments. It was a terrifying moment for him to experience, but luckily it didn’t take too long for Kenshin to be able to replace his lung for the Juugo's lung. Taichi was able to breathe once again, only moments after he lost the ability in the first place. Taichi would continue doing his best to breathe shallow breaths so he wouldn’t be in the way of Kenshin’s hands as he began to wrap up the procedure.

Kenshin’s hands would begin to glow a certain aura, which was when the healing process from the procedure would begin. His body would completely heal from the procedure. When Kenshin had finished wrapping up the procedure, he told Taichi the procedure was a success. He thanked Kenshin as he got up from the table. He took in a few deep breaths and it felt natural, his body was already much better at accepting the changes that the transplants would put the body through. He slowly got to his feet and walked over to the corner of the room where there were extra towels that he would be able to use to clean off the excess blood that would be on his body after the procedure.

After such a large incision, there was a decent amount of blood on his side, so he grabbed himself a towel and cleaned himself off. When he finished wiping off the excess blood, he walked back across the room while Kenshin was still cleaning off all of the utensils that he used and the table that Taichi was laying on. He grabbed his things and he thanked Kenshin once again for the procedure, recognizing the skill that he had performing such procedures. Whether Kenshin would respond to him or not was irrelevant. He knew Kenshin did not know Taichi very well, but Taichi knew Kenshin enough to know that he was a good person down below, and really even on the surface.

He wanted to watch the people of Suna grow stronger, which was why these transplants were offered so easily. The price for the transplants was understandable, you were paying for the time and not to mention the price the body would have cost him, whether he killed the man himself, or he purchased it from some other missing ninja. After thanking and complimenting Kenshin, he would walk out of the operating room and would walk out of the hospital, continuing to take deep breaths, getting used to the new lung that he had just received.

When he felt the hot desert heat brush up against his face, he remembered just how much he couldn’t stand this place. He thought that he loved the sand and the desert, but he didn’t. He just felt that it was home and he forced himself to like it. Kumo on the other hand, that was a marvelous place, the beautiful mountains that surrounded the area, it was indescribable. He had been thinking about going back to Kumogakure, but he wanted to ensure all of the business he needed done here was done before he left, because he was unsure when he would return.

He then decided that he was going to head farther into town and see if there was a bar open that he would be able to get himself a drink in. After the procedure that he went through and the numbness that he still felt in his side, he figured a nice stiff drink would be just the thing he needed, who knows, maybe he would even run into some interesting people along the way.
