Haruhi had been helping out at an understaffed hospital for about a week. She loved to help those in need, and Guinvere apparently didn't mind helping her, either. The snow leopard was lazing on the floor near her feet while she went through the inventory of the hospital. They were low on a number of things; syringes, water purification tablets, clean pillows, and pain killers. Shortages like this were to be expected in poorer areas, but there was one thing, located at the bottom of this list, that worried Haruhi greatly. This hospital was on it's last box of bandages, which was being used up quite quickly as each day went by. Haruhi didn't have any money, so she decided to simply make some herself. "Excuse me, Guinevere. I know you're awfully busy, but could you fetch me a block of wood from outside?" The large cat yawned languidly, and rose on huge footpads, before leaving through the door. Haruhi did a bit of sewing while she waited, creating new pillow cases. Within a few minutes, her best friend had returned, and Haruhi now had a large block of ash wood in her grip.

She wasn't exactly sure if her idea would work, but Haruhi was sure that this 'chakra' her mother had taught her about could do wondrous things. Perhaps it could even turn one material to another. She would reach within herself, seeking the fabled power that every creature carried. The energy of her soul would glide within her, and, for a brief second, she could feel the light substance. Gripping it, she would mold it within herself, and nudge it around her form. After a bit of effort, she had successfully gotten the chakra to glide into her palms. Haruhi would place both palms upon the block of wood, and she would attempt again to control the chakra. It was difficult work, controlling the energy, but she sure that she would get more and more control as time passed.

Finally, the chakra was obeying her, and it flowed from her palms, and out into the block of ash wood. Once it was within the new structure, Haruhi would use all of her training to command it. She began by enveloping the box with the mystical energy, and would let it soak into the wood, filling every point within it. Her hands would tingle as more and more chakra flowed from them into the natural material, and she would let it do so until it was satisfied. Then, with that step complete, she began to imagine the wood turning to a bandage. She couldn't' think of any other way to make this work. She imagined the consistency of a clean bandage, and imagined the feel that it would possess. The soft caress of a cotton bandage was within her thoughts, and she would push it into the wood.

She closed her eyes in concentration, letting her imagination and her will do the work. With amazement, Haruhi could hear something happening. It sounded like a light hissing, and it began to rise in intensity. Keeping her eyes closed, she would continue. Guinevere rose and left the room, apparently disliking the noise of the jutsu. Finally, with baited breath, Haruhi would open her eyes. Before her, the block of wood had changed indeed. A light smoke rose from the new creation, and the rough edged had gotten much rougher. It seemed that the wood hadn't been turned to a bandage, but why? Perhaps she hadn't tried hard enough. She would realize that changing matter from one state to another would require incredible discipline, which she didn't have. It would require incredible control, which she could try and obtain.

Stopping the flow of chakra, Haruhi would watch the wood revert to it's old form. The dark brown lines of matter would stare back at her until she closed her eyes once again. The awesome energy would be summoned from within herself once again, and she would channel it through her palms and into the wood. She took the image of bandages from within her mind, and once again put it within the wood. This time, she wouldn't leave it up to her imagination, she would make the bandages herself. Haruhi opened her eyes, and gazed upon the wood, shaping the wood as she watched. The colors began to darken, and then she focused her chakra, transforming the wood to a lighted color. She rubbed her thumbs slowly over the edges, pushing the chakra to lighten them. Soon enough, the entire structure of wood seemed soft and clean. She would finally have the wood come apart into sections, and let a shower of bandages fall upon her lap.
