Maybe a Basic Checkup?

One seldom realizes how fast weather can change within mere seconds, until it actually happens.

The raven haired kunoichi was lucky to the fact that she left her house wearing a shawl around her shoulders, which thankfully had a hood. Or she would have arrived at the hospital looking more like a wet stray than she already did.

The day started out lovely with a nice cooling breeze. Winter was heavily in the air but the sun shown brilliantly with no clouds to hide away it's warm golden rays. Meika had left her home to give the hospital a visit. Whether it was to cause Ichigo some trouble, or to do a simple checkup, one couldn't be so certain. Perhaps it was both. In her mind there where countless reasons for her visit.

But not even halfway through her journey to the building, the weather decided to taunt her. There was no way to explain the sudden appearance of the dark rain cloud, or the low rumbling of thunder that came with it. Like a beast ready to unleash it's agony and rage upon the mountains. So needless to say, Meika was cruelly pelted with the freezing rain. Her hands clasped tightly at her shawl while dragging the hood up to cover her wild, wind - tumbled hair.

Most individuals may find that a storm and rainfall can be quite tranquil when watching it through the safety of a window, while being in the safety of their home. Sometimes even walking through a cooling drizzle could be relaxing in it's own ways. But none of that was the case as the howling winds threatened to knock her over onto the wet earth. She was unfortunately drenched before making it to the hospital doors. "I'm going to need a drink after this. ." Meika mumbled to herself as she finally squeezed herself into the hospital.

For a moment she stood there at the entrance. Finally had escaped the storm from outside, but now standing there like a wet mop. Her eyes glance over at the front desk as she unties the shawl and discards it from her shoulders. At least she was somewhat dry from underneath it, but unfortunately her hair was wet. Meika made sure not to track her soaked shawl throughout the building, so she left it folded up at the door. "I am ashamed of the mess. I really didn't expect a storm to hit so suddenly." The kunoichi traveled over to the front desk, where usually there was a woman. No doubt Meika looked like a drenched feline that just crawled out. Her hair tussled from the storm and mysteriously possessing a white steak of hair within its black strands. {WC: 451}

“Looks like another storm soon.” The words of the Goddess of War would reach Saiya, who was staring out the window of the office. The nurse looked puzzled. “How do you always know, Lady Enyo?” She inquired, turning to face her. Enyo sitting at her desk, sorting through files for recently admitted patients. Using her one good hand to place and pile the information that she needed - prioritizing them in order from immediate visits to least. “You can always tell, though it’s a little tricky when you live in the clouds. But you can sort of feel it tingle the hairs in the skin. Why do you think I always stroll into work earlier than I need to be on stormy days?” She takes a sip from her brew. 

Saiya moved closer to the desk to get a better look at what she was doing. “That makes a lot more sense. I just thought you loved what you do.” She picks up a file and looks inside. Enyo stopping and sitting back into her chair. Looking at Saiya with her left eye. “Of course I love what I do. These patients mean everything to me. And the sooner they are nurtured back to health and out there doing what they love the better I’ll feel.” She would drink more of her brew. Her assistant nurse would then smile as she learned a bit more about her boss and friend. 

It’s not everyday that Enyo Gushiken shows her more vulnerable side to someone, in fact it’s rare to happen in a year. But she knew from that moment that Enyo was more than a brutal warrior, she was a caring lioness and that’s far more dangerous than she had originally believed. 

The two shared a moment between friends, smiles and some giggles from Saiya. Abruptly a voice of another would come through the coms. ‘Ms. Saiya, we have a guest at the front entrance.’ Saiya would look to Enyo. “Guess it’s time to get back to work.” Enyo nods and watched as she leaves the office. Once the doors closed she would return to her sorting. 

Saiya would make her way to the front desk, her long green hair swaying from her pace and her amber eyes would lock onto the drenched woman. “Oh dear! Please, let me help you.” She would say as she rushed around the desk and collected a heavy towel to bring around to the woman. “Here, this should help keep you warm and dry you up a bit.” She would then notice the puddle from the woman’s trail. Looking to the other nurse she would snap her fingers. “Mai, would you mind grabbing the mop and cleaning this mess up. The last thing we want is for Lady Enyo to see this mess. You know how she can get when it comes to presentation. If one looks bad we all look bad.” Mai, the receptionist would do just as she was told with some haste and precision at that. 

Saiya would notice the woman’s face and remember her from one of her last visits to fhe hospital. “Ah! Ms. Meika, it’s been some time! How are you? Are you here to see Dr. Sato? He’s not in at the moment but we can have his assistant meet with you until he comes in. Please, follow me.” She would make sure that it was okay with Meika first before leading her to the office where she would meet with Enyo. 

Once there she would knock three times before entering. Both ladies would find Enyo still sorting at her desk meticulously. Saiya clears her throat. This captures the attention of Enyo and her left eye would drift towards her and then the drenched woman. Enyo’s expression did not reveal any concern, more so stoic. She would stand from her desk and motioned to the front of it. Meika would notice that Enyo had a very strong build, but it maintained its feminine curves and allures. Her head was wrapped and right eye as her left revealed some burn scars. Though her face was still quite beautiful. Her entire right side was wrapped in bandages and her left was scared with burns - missing her left hand. She donned all black with a white belt. Her black eyes would coldly gaze at the woman. “Lady Enyo, this is Meika, a patient of Dr. Sato. Meika, this is Lady Enyo, Dr. Sato’s assistant surgeon and bodyguard.” 

Enyo would close her eye and take a breath. “Saiya, why is this woman in my office dripping on my floors? Could you please find her something dryer to wear and collect her belongings and wash and dry them.” The Goddess of War would say as she steps closer to the woman. Extending her bandaged right hand out to her. “Thank you for visiting, Meika? What can I help you with today?” Professionalism from her at its best.

The Kamigawa could tell by the lady’s frantic reaction to her soaked state, that she was causing more trouble than what she had expected. With an apologetic look Meika gratefully received the dry towel that was offered to her. Nodding in response when the lady questioned her intentions on being here. It was no surprise to her when it was mentioned that the doctor she was familiar with was too busy to be available.

That didn’t stop the miss from hustling her to the next available assistant.

Meika was escorted to the door before the lady knocked on the door. Announcing their presence before intruding into the office of the hospital assistant. To Meika’s surprise, the woman they met inside was one she was familiar with. Not many women possessed such unique aspects as this one. Her body decorated with brutal marks that most would be intimidated by.

But to Meika, every engravement a person possesses holds a silent story.

If anything would be intimidating about the woman, it would be the glaze she offered to the Kamigawa. Which was well deserved for making such a mess.

Meika took the hand that was offered to her for a simple, polite shake. “Everything is going well since my last visit. I just wanted to check on to see if there were any recommendations to becoming more familiar with the new eye.” The generous welcome was much appreciated.

Not long after, the woman who escorted her to the office named Saiya brought her a dry set of clothing to change into. Meika had become such a hand full as usual. {268 | 719}

Her offer was met in kind, that much pleased her. The woman was given clothing that would keep her dry, as her wet clothes were put through the wash and dryer. The woman, Meika was here for recommendations on how to adapt to her…eye? This was interesting. Enyo subtly showed interest. Did she get a new eye from Ichigo at some point while Enyo was away? There was only one way to find out. “Meika, was it?” She inquired before motioning towards the file cabinet. There she would search for the file on the women before her. 

Her fingers would walk through the names before setting upon… “Meika TsukiOni… Age 21, happy belated birthday.” She would say, glancing over to her so calmly. “Your medical records states that you are from the Kamigawa clan. You possess the Uchugan, I know little about your clan, but Doujutsu of any nature seems troublesome. Ichigo transplanted not only the Seigan, which is the Doujutsu of the Rentei clan, but also the kidney of the Hozuki clan — also known as the tidal blessing.” She would close the file and return it back in the cabinet. Turning to face the woman as she approached and pass her. Sitting behind her desk and gesturing for her to take a seat as well, one of the two chair on the other side would be more than sufficient. 

“You received your surgery a couple months back, before I answer your question, I must ask. How is your body taking to the new kidney and eye? Any phantom pains? Subtle irritations? I do not doubt the work of my lead, Dr. Sato, but the human body tends to develop certain reactions, no matter how smoothly a procedure goes.” She asked with a tender voice. Her gaze stern, yet soothing at the same time. When in this building, Enyo cared about all patients and their well-being. That was a top priority to her. 

“As for your question. There is no true recommendation that I can offer you other than time…time is the best I can offer you at this point.” She would then stand and walk over to the mini-bar that was at the opposite side of the room. She would collect two glasses and a bottle. She would sit one before Meika and sit the other before the seat next to her. “We can talk to fill the gap, if you don’t mind.” She pours the liquor into the glasses. Taking a seat next to her and crossing her legs. Enyo was a beautiful woman, despite her scars and bandages. She carried herself like a Dummer, but one with grace. She would take a sip from her glass as she looked to the woman, analyzing her over, cautiously. 

“May I ask you something, Meika? What made you seek out the power of the Hozuki and Rentei?” A question that was both innocent and well placed for both of them. Enyo was merely curious. As for she wanted to know what Meika knew of the clans she wished to be apart of her body?

To become further acquainted to what she was dealing with, the woman named Enyo turned her attention to the file she withdrawn from it's organized cabinet. Surprising Meika with the late birthday wish as her cool eyes scanned over the unscripted information that the file contained.

From what she spoke of, everything within the file left nothing out. Meika's previous visit and the transplants that took place was well recorded.

Enyo continued by doing a thorough check on Meika's status of recovery. Asking to see if the Kamigawa had experienced any unusual reactions or difficulties that may have followed after the surgery. Meika was relieved that such tendencies wasn't the case here. "I'm relieved to say that everything seem fine with the new kidney and eye. Of course there was some sensitivity with the eye and lighting when I first regained consciousness after the procedure, but it was gone within only moments following. Nothing has seemed out of order that I may recall."

As the woman of raven hair reassured Enyo of her doctor's work, a glass would be placed within her reach. Which would be soon occupied with the crisp flow of liquor.

This woman was definitely Ichigo's partner.

Meika would have never guessed that her visit would have led to a cup of liquor at her lips. Though she didn't mind the surprises.

She graciously raised the cup to take a drink as Enyo seated next to her. "I very much appreciate the drink. The liquor easily helps warm the spirit after a storm." Her words was no lie. Her next drink brought some color onto the paleness of her cheeks, as the liquid warmed her.

Before the Kamigawa's glass was empty, Enyo surprised her with a question. Asking about what it was that encouraged her to take possession of the Seigan eye, and the tidal blessing. Some would easily answer that it was the opportunity for new abilities as a simple way to put it.

Meika placed her glass back down on the table, her fingers still resting against it's cool surface. Thinking well of her answer before entertaining the woman's curiosity. "As everyone knows. . there are limitless paths one could pursue, but their cup can only hold so much liquid. Some choose to focus on what they already have within their possession, while other's decide to branch out to new variants of abilities."

Meika's phantom hues met Enyo's as she continued. "I admit that I have desire to better learn the potential behind what Kamigawa has to offer, but that doesn't mean I'm not open-minded to the strength of other's blood. I found the opportunity to enhance the path that I was taking, and took it. I find the Seigan eye to be beautiful, much like the Uchugan, but in it's own way. The way my water can greatly benefit my illusion arts with the eye excites me. Not only that, but the tidal blessing provides amazing defense with it's hydrification ability."

Another drink touched her lips. "Some of us are meant for the frontlines. Some of us. . not so much." {WC: 516 | TWC: 1,235}

The pitter patter of rain began to die down, as well as the growl of the thunder beast that rescinded within the cloudy heavens of Kumogakure. The two kunoichi exchanged conversation with the liquor keeping their bodies warm.

It wouldn’t take long at all for Meika’s clothes to be returned to her, now dried from her rainy travel. The clothes were neatly folded and placed upon her lap as the lass finished her drink with the Enyo warrior. Maybe this whole time the raven haired woman was simply searching to conversate with someone. Even though anyone within the hospital would be well overdue with work, the Kamigawa woman had always had a way of being a little troublesome and careless about her decisions. “It sounds like the rain has stopped. I should be taking my leave before the weather takes another turn. I apologize for taking your time so unexpectedly.

Meika gave a polite bow with a curved smile upon her lips. Taking her clothes with her to properly change back into them before making her leave back home. -Exit-
