River City Hospital

[Nomonai]

Note: This thread is currently being used by Itsuki and myself for the process of performing a ritual. I didn't see a thread for one here, so after I'm done, anyone is free to use this as a general hospital/rp area.



Having entered the River Cities Hospital, Reuna glanced around for a while trying to find a likely donar for the kikaichu Ishoku. If she could find someone, it'd be relatively simply to work from here. Unfortunately, there in lay the problem. She hadn't actually known any other Aburame then her parents, who supposedly wouldn't perform such a thing on her. It was sad really, to not allow such a thing, but she was determined, and would find a way, even if she had to travel to distant lands to do so.


Her eyes would drift to a from as she went around the various people within the hospital asking whether or not they were aburame and if they were willing to perfom the ritual. Of course, she'd found no one durring this time. Her rather brash and open questioning either scared away the staff, or made the all impatient with her. Having found no one, she went back to the loby area and sat herself down in a seet watching the door for anyone that might come in.


Occassionally, she rose from her seet and glanced about. There wasn't anyone new yet, and she was getting quite tired of simply sitting around. Eventually, she sat down somewhere near the door and closed her eyes for bit. She hadn't given up, she only needed to rest her eyes a moment. She didn't actually plan on going back home until she had her own kikaichu.

The Clan Master known as John Smurf would then enter the hospital. Removing his rained-on trench coat, he shook out his hair. Finally, he had arrived at his destination. By this time, Reuna would have been waiting for around an hour. Once John had received news that there was a Kikaichu Ishoku taking place in the River Country, he had decided to head there, accepting the generous payment along with it.

Walking up to the receptionist's desk, he showed her his papers, which would tell her all she would need to know. After a few minutes of leafing through the information, she nodded, stamped the papers, and directed him to the correct room. After being examined thoroughly by a doctor, he was declared a suitable donor for the ritual and sent off to the surgeon. He and the middle-aged woman departed for the waiting room together.

"Aburame, Reuna?" the doctor called out in a questioning voice. Once she had located the girl, she would gesture for her to follow them to the operating room. After that, the surgery could begin.

[Nomonai]

Her eyes had been closed, keeping her in a light trance like sleep. Her fear was that as she slept, a suitable donar would have arrived and left, impatient with the wait. But it was not the case though.

"Aburame, Reuna?" the doctor called out in a questioning voice. Once she had located the girl, she would gesture for her to follow them to the operating room. After that, the surgery could begin.

At the mention of her name, she nearly snap back to life, eyes widening as she stood up form her spot on the near the door. Despite the fact that she had indeed been waiting, she was rather caught of gaurd initially. As pupils slowly turned back to a normal size as they adjusted to the lighting in the lobby. Still, who had called her? She glanced around for a moment, and being the only person to have responded to the name Reuna, she spotted the doctor gesturing for her attention.



Entering the room in question, the door closed behind her as those taking place in the surgery were already within. She herself, had been rather anxious for the moment but now that here, she was nervous. She had no idea how the surgery worked, but she'd find out soon enough. Without a moment to wait, she climbed up onto the operating bed, and awaited further instructions.

* Kikaichu Ishoku
Rank: C
Effects: Implants kikaichu in the user’s body.
Special: A pair of mating kikaichu, a medic of B rank or higher, a medic of C rank or higher, one Aburame clan member of sixteen or older.
Description: This ritual is relatively simple, but also an incredibly painful one. To begin, the weaker medic will first calm the recipient, using medical ninjutsu to dull the pain that could otherwise kill the recipient. The stronger medic will then make use of a chakra scalpel to incise a number of holes in the user’s body, from which the kikaichu will emerge. As the weaker medic keeps the recipient steady, the Aburame will implant the kikaichu in one of the newly created holes, telepathically informing them of their new master. The stronger medic will now join the weaker medic, as both keep the recipient from feeling too much pain. The kikaichu will rapidly begin to multiply and tunnel through the body, taking several hours to complete the highly painful process of forming a colony within the recipient. The medics keep the user stabilized whilst the Aburame clan member watches over the kikaichu. When the process is complete, the user will hold the destruction bugs of the Aburame Clan within them.
Drawback: The process requires eight hours to complete. This takes up one technique slot if starting out with as a clan member, or three slots if not a clan member.
Placement Requirements: Must have a B ranked medic, C ranked medic, Aburame clan member of sixteen or older, must have a pair of mating kikaichu.
Cost: 16,000 Ryo.

[Okay, here's how things will work. Simply respond to the surgery in any way you wish, mentally bonding with your new kikaichu. After 3 posts, a mod will be called in to check your progress. If it is satisfactory, you'll have the justu. If not, we will continue until you do.]

As the girl lay on the operating bed, the surgeon began to explain the process: "All right, first we're going to have Ms. Thompson here dull the pain, a sort of anisthetic. Then Dr. Stiles will cut several holes in Mr... em... Smurf, from which the kikaichu will emerge. They will move into your body to form a new colony. Doesn't that sound simple?" The operation began immediately.

As John observed from the sidelines, the medic began. Her hands glowed with energy as she used the Healing Hands technique to send 'positive reinforcement' to Reuna. As she did so, she began to whisper quietly to the patient: "It will be just fine. Soon enough it will be all over, and you'll have kikaichu. It's allllll right..." After a few minutes of this, the medic's glow dulled slightly as she eased up on the technique, and the older medic walked over to John. He was a bit apprehensive, but was certain these doctors were trained well.

"We're ready for you now, Mr. Smurf." Nodding, John watched as the man formed a Chakra Scalpel in his left hand. The scalpel sliced through the Toujitakumi's skin quickly, but the pain remained. With a grimace, he pulled out the glove on his left hand, sticking his fingers into the handmouth there. As it bit down, he continued to breathe deeply, the pain distracting him from the incisions. Mentally, John continued to coax out the kikai.

"Hey, Sooben," he murmured, "Can you bring out Mesari and Joequiem? They're mating, right?" Hey, no way man! I heard 'bout what choor doin', and I don't want no part of it. Capische? "It's all right... just relax. They'll be in a new body, that's all. A female in fact. Isn't Mesari always taking about trying out living in a female?" Sooben, did he say a female? It was a feminine voice, one John recognized as Mesari's.

Yeah, yeah Mesy, he said female, but you ain't goin' nowhere! "Come on Sooben... have a heart." The groan was almost audible as Sooben thought. Finally he 'spoke:' Fine. Take 'em. But if they're not happy... kssssshghk. Smiling, John held a finger down to the hole in his stomach as the two kikai buzzed onto it. He watched their tiny forelegs wave at him as he passed the couple to Dr. Stiles. Smiling, he moved back to Reuna. Now came the painful part.

While the two medics both used their Healing Hands, the senior surgeon pulled on a pair of gloves. As he pulled off her shirt, John respectfully turned away as the operation continued. Creating a knife of chakra, the older man made his incision just below the chest. Mesari and Joequim were slowly fed into the opening as John thought to them, Good luck!

[Nomonai]

Reuna laid on the the operating table as the medics began to talk to her. Despite her rather stoice despostion, she was obviously still a little nervous at this whole operation. The nervous sensation came from not knowing whether or not things would work out, after all, there were a million things that could go wrong in any given operatoin. Her body relaxed somewhat as a calm soothing light began to press around her body. She could do this. It wouldn't be that bad, she knew it couldn't be.


A wave of embarrasement passed through her as her shirt was removed. The bare flesh began to redden as the flow of blood increased. She knew this was going to happen though, so she allowed herself to calm as the cool air in the room caught hold of her skin. As the senior medic began to make the incision below her chest, she nibbled on her lip pensively, as a slight pain formed from the exposure to oxygen. The next thing she knew, their was a crawling feeling near the incision, only it felt like it was inside of her. Still, the pain was minimal, and barely noticeble, at first.



The sensation of crawling bugs lasted and never went away. She could feel them just below her chest, yet it didn't feel like anthing was going on yet. Of course, this was her first, and would be her only time having the kikaichu ishoku performed. Perhaps it took a while for things to get started.

"New master?" spoke a faint feminine voice in her mind. This was new, she'd infact never remembered having voices inside her head, outside of a few occurences.


A few seconds of silence passes as she doubted whether or not the voice had been there. "Re... un... .. . a?" It was her name being called, this time by a male voice. Her eyes glanced around to see that no one else had infact spoken a word.

Another few seconds passed witout pain, durring which Reuna realized the voices were so faint because they were coming from herself, from within. "Yes, it is? Is this..." It was strange. She could hear her own voice echoing in her head, responding to the voices. "Who is this?"


As if in response to being answered, a sudden pain would start near her chest. At first, it was if someone had bit her inside, but then it changed. The pain began worsen and the area affected spread out slightly. She flinched, then twitched from the spot she sat in on the bed. Their were a few murmerings from the outside world, but the only one that reached her is, 'I think thier starting.'


This was due to her facial expression. It had been rather calm and serene just a moment ago. Now, she was in pain and showing it slightly. From with in her body again, she felt bugs crawling beneath her chest.


"I'm Mesari" said a female voice. It was the same as before, only a little more louder. Had this pain brought her more aware of the voice? There was another silence lasting for a few minutes


"And I am Joequiem. Why do you ignore our calls, new master?" This one was a unmistakebly masculine voice.


"New... master? So you're..." Before her thought could finish, she'd lose the voices as the pain doubled, then intensified. All throughout her chest, the pain would worsen, accompanied by the unusual feeling of bugs crawling under her skin. The lip she nibbled on earlier would now began to visibly bleed as she began to bite down harder. The head surgeon could this and new sooner or later, her body would start to thrash more. For the time being though, the ansethesia had staunched off more of the pain she would have been feeling.


A combination of the two voices would call out to her trying to sooth her. Still, not used to the pain, she initially block her mind from everything. If she continued like this, it would be a long and painful operations, and to think, the first hour hadn't even passed yet

[Itsuki v2]

Time elapsed: 2 hours

For nearly a full hour, Reuna was given time to associate herself with the new kikai. John remembered this process well as a younger child, and mused about what establishing the link would be like for a teen. During this time, John waited in the operating room, talking with his kikai. He was interested in speaking with Mesari and Joequim, but was certain that doing so might break the bond the three were most likely forming. Finally, the surgeon returned to John's side.

"It's time for the breeding to begin." Nodding, he stood, walking over to the operating table. Dr. Stiles began coaching Reuna: "All right, there are two important things. One is to mantain the link between you and the two kikai. The other is to brace yourself." After receiving a smack in the back of the head from Ms. Thompson for his 'not so much pep talk,' the two took position on either side of the incision, holding their hands out over the cut. It would not heal the hole, but dull the pain. Closing his eyes, John began to speak to Mesari.

Mesari... here is the plan. You must burrow through her body, to make travelling tunnels. Make sure to avoid the internal organs. After that just... go back to what you were doing. John knew exactly what the two had been doing. Once the tunnels had been created, he would hold his hand over the cut. This familiar scent would act as a type of pheromone, inciting breeding. The ritual was getting closer and closer to completion.

[Suggestions on topics: Holding on to the mental link as John issues commands. Tunnels being burrowed inside of your body (i.e. immense pain). The two kikaichu breeding inside of you.]

[Nomonai]

Gradually, her subconscious mind had began to pick up on the sensation of having multiple voices talk to her at the same. All along, the pain in her chest continued to expand outward very slowly. The pain was something no one without such an activity could understand. It was like a pickaxe driving through the hard gravly walls of a coal mine except in this instance, she was the mine. Yeah, that was the closest thing to the sensation. The pickaxe would be the kikaichu populating her body. The walls would the be the lining of the soft tissues and such in her body.


The minutes began to roll by rather fast as the pain periodically spread inch by inch into her body. Gradually, she opened her mind. This was supposed be a ritual operation. She had a part in this too. That part was to talk and communicate with her new kikaichu. If she couldn't do this amongst the operation, she didn't even deserve to have such. But by opening her mind, it allowed herself to feel more of the pain. Quickly, her arms began shake, nearly spasmodically. Was this why? Was this why she wasn't allowed to have the ritual before? Regardless, she began trying to reach out with her mind as the kikaichu were doing.


"Mesari... can you hear me?" Her call was rather timid and she herself barely heard it. Nothing, no response from the kikaichu that had identified herself. The silence answered her though. She hadn't spoken loud enough, and was simply ignored. A gasp escaped her lips rather suddenly. She began to breath heavily for a moment. "Please, answer me?"



"Ah, so now she speaks. Should we answer her?" the giggle came from the feminine voice. She could think to herself was this Mesari? Another spasm of pain ensured. She couldn't turn agrilly toward the doctors who were supposed to stop the pain. In all reality, she new they were well trained, and if she cold still feel anything right now with the three of them, then it would likely be killing her other wise.


A few garbled syllables passed between the giggly female and another voice before she was finally answered. "Reuna, relax. It'll be over before you know it but you have to relax. You'll drive yourself insane."


She tried to relax despite the painful sensation, but it was like the more they asked her too, the greater difficulty it became. A few hours passed by rather slowly. The feeling of crawling skin continued. She had long since shut her eyes and amongst the darkness that had settled, felt just slightly more at ease. Though still painful, she was beginning to reach out and talk with the two kikaichu. She was aware of their constant breeding now, because the pain that had only been in her chest had now moved along toward other areas of her body. It was now a small colony beginning to form within her now, burying further through the tissue and such in her body. Reuna’s eyes squinted shut, attempting to cope with the pain, but there was no escaping it. Instead, she would call out to Joequiem, or at least she thought that was his name. Her voice only had time to echo in her own mind for a second before he responded, admittedly a lot stronger than the first time she’d spoken. As he spoke, their were many other voices this time, and took a moment to recognize the one she’d called out to.


“Reuna, I’m glad to see that you talk now,” replied Joequiem.

“How many kikaichu are there?” she asked

“More than you can count…” His voice with fade and echo off there, but they continued to speak for another moment. It was odd but exciting in a way she couldn’t explain. Her mind drifted off to the other newer kikaichu burrowing into the recesses or arms and legs. They were all interesting little creatures and she wanted to try and converse with all of them, but it was too much. Too many of them responded at a time. At first, it was like three or four, but before she could metal direct her thoughts, the conversation was joined by what felt like every kikaichu in the area. Most of the conversation consisted of the excitement of been in a new host. So it would appear their excitement mirrored hers. But as they began to burrow further into her legs and filling her body, the pain was so unbearable that her eyes went wide as the sensation caused her to nearly bounce off the bed. Had the doctors not been holding her down, she would have fallen to the floor, but their grips were tight, and they continued their work as any good doctor would.

^__^ congratulations, you have the Kikaichu ritual.

You now need to learn the Destruction Bug Host technique.

Time Elapsed: 6 Hours

Finally, it was finished. John stood up, sweat trickling down his face. It had been a long operation, but a successful one. The medics quickly sealed the incisions that had been made in the two ninja, leaving not even a trace of a scar. Putting his coat back on, the Clan Master discussed the kikaichu with Reuna for a few minutes before accepting his money and leaving. His part was done. Someday, the ninja might cross paths again. Anything could happen...

0/10

Having spoken with her kind doner for a moment, Reuna discovered that she now had to feed the kikaichu with her own chakra. Her body was still sore from the operation, pounding and rebelling against movement. As she sat up, the new passageways within her body began to burn. It was the kikaichu, she knew it. The new colony, was hungry for chakra, and that meant she had to feed them, but how? She could feel the crawling kikaichu beneath her skin. They were becoming agitated by their hunger. Slowly, she began to increase the circulation of her chakra throughout her body. She thought if she did this, it would be easier for the kikaichu to feast on the chakra. But just how much of the chakra would they eat? That was the next part of the dilemma. If they ate too much of her chakra, it could bring harm to her and limit her mobility.



Slowly, the kikaichu began to feast on the chakra within her body. She knew this much because she could her body weakening. It was a very slight reaction, but it was caused by a subtle loss of chakra. She stopped the flow of chakra for a moment, believing that it should have been enough chakra for the kikiachu to fed off of. This wasn’t so, for no sooner did she attempt to stop feeding them, the jittering feeling in her body continued and picked up greater momentum. In fact, the kikaichu began to get very restless and antsy, and she could hear it in their voices. Many of the kikaichu, mainly the youngest ones were panicking. With the voices coming from inside her body, these many panicky voices began to have the same effect on her. She thought she was killing the kikaichu.




Desperation fueled and her thoughts, and she increased the circulation of her chakra, trying to bring it closer to all of her kikaichu. Nothing seemed to calm them down though. Their thoughts continued even though she was increasing the supply of chakra for them to eat. In a few moments, she felt her body weakening a bit. The kikaichu were finally settling down a bit. In a few minutes, the sounds of the panicky voices ceased, and the feeling of the kikaichu frenzied movement likewise ceased. Was that it? She believed so, and cut her chakra once more. Without the passing of the a second, everything within her began to crawl, and in the second everything was bussy. She suddenly began to feel very sick. It felt as if an angry bee hive floated about her insides, creating havoc where her muscles and nerves were. She tried to maintain a level head, but the thousands of kikaichu voices all at once quickly overwhelmed her sense. Now standing in front of the bed, she began to panic, believing that the kikaichu were dying. She couldn’t lose her whole colony, not now. It had only been roughly eight hours since the beginning of the colony. A sudden pain in her heart would nearly cripple her as her heartbeat began to escalate. Breathing became hard and shallow. What was going on? Suddenly, her vision would began to darken very slowly, like the dmming of auditorium lights. She was hyperventilating, and the lack of oxygen was causing her to collapse. The doctor could see something was wrong, and quickly ran to her side to catch. He was too late though. She’d already collapsed on the floor, and likewise hit her head pretty hard.



The doctor would quickly lift her to the operating bed to give her place to rest for a moment. Luckily for her, when she passed out, it caused the flow of her chakra to return to normal along with her breathing. About thirty seconds would pass until she came back to from the black out. Before she could do anything, Mesori spoke up to her.


“Reuna, relax. We kikaichu feast on chakra continually. You can’t keep your chakra from us. The young are starving. Just let us do our job Reuna. Everything will be ok” The soft feminine voice grew silent after the words of advice.


With those words, Reuna simply let go and let the kikaichu feast. It was far simpler than what she’d been trying to do. All she’d managed by stimulate the flow was making the kikaichu eat more chakra then they would have. Then when she stopped, it simply flew them all into a frenzy. She lay in bed for another few moments as they feasted. The woozy weakness in her body continued but at a much lower degree. The kikaichu inside told her that they’d get used to each other in no time. She really did believe it, but that wasn’t the case right now.


“Doctor, am I free to leave?” She asked sitting at the edge of the bed.


“Sure thing. Just remember to be careful and take it easy.” he said as he opened the door.


She climbed off the bed and slowly walked out the room. The kikaich continued to feast on her chakra her chakra the whole time. It wasn’t as bad as she thought, and their company was refreshing. Edoshe, one of the younger kikaichu conversed with her as they fed and left the hospital. He asked her where they were going. Her response, back to Moyoushi.
