Setsuai was a healer. It was in her nature, she almost couldn't help it. So when she came across a wounded beast in the pseudowilds between Kirigakure and the rest of Mizu no Kuni, she naturally had to try to heal it. Although...

"A bear? Do we even HAVE bears out here?" A moment of contemplation brought her to the conclusion that indeed they did. After all, was there not one in front of her, just lying there?

Setsuai examined the creatures injuries. Arrow wounds. A lot of them. And even though almost all of the shafts were missing, there seemed a great many metal arrowheads still embedded in the poor kuma-chan's flesh. she would hve to pry them out and close each wound individually. "Sorry friend, but this is going to hurt...badly."

And with that, she actively jammed her hand into the layer of fat that seemed to have saved most of the beast's vital organs, tearing out individual heads one by one. It was brutal, and painful, and the bear gave a low roar. It translated basically as "If I weren't hurt so badly, I'd swipe your head off."

It also unfortunately significantly widened the wounds, such that it would be more difficult for her to close them. She closed her eyes, focused a moment, and, one hand resting on the bear's flank to gague its breathing, the other flashed through the one-handed zodiac seals she was known for. An aura of healing energy surrounded her hand, and she jammed it back inside the wound. If she started on the surface she would close the surface only, and the poor beast would die from internal bleeding. Slowly, as the layers of flesh and occasional bit of muscle knitted back together she withdrew her palm, closing the wound completely, only to thrust it into the next, and begin the process anew.

This one was larger than the first, and she had to move her hand around inside of it to close it completely, which was far from pleasant. Setsuai looked to her hand, slicked with blood, and gave a bemused shrug. She didn't really have to worry about clean water when she could...

the fingers danced again, and an orb of water surrounded her palm, picking away at the scarlet, before splashing away onto her patient's punctures. A little wash wouldn't hurt.

The seals were simple, ingrained in her memory through use. Setsuai once more let the fingers of her left hand dance alone, for skills unused tend to fade. Since the arrow shafts were removed, all that needed doing now was the remainder of the healing. As the blue-green aura once more surrounded her slender digits, she held steady over the bear's several remaining lacerations, watching them slowly, so slowly knit back together as the cells regenerated. The medical kunoichi wasn't precisely clear on how or why the process worked, but work it did. When the final puncture was sealed, Setsuai synthesised a blast of refreshingly cool water to her face and shook her now damp mane of dark hair from her eyes. She'd needed that.

Bears can easily weigh in at well over six hundred pounds, and this one was hardly an exception. If it weren't highly improbable, Setsy would have placed this one at over a thousand. In other words, though the other flank needed to be examined...she was incapable of budging the fleshy hulk. Times like this when one wishes they spoke bear. Instead the slender Kunoichi had to make do with prodding the beast until it got the hint. Considering its frame of mind, this in itself was a good deal of time. But what the tiny medic saw there was utterly abhorrent.

"Kami..." she breathed.

The ursine patients opposite end was just one big mass of charred fur and melting flesh, a truly horrendous burn. This time she would need both hands, flaring through the required seals with such alacrity that it almost seemed no sooner had she thought "Heal" than she was capable of making it so. And so she began. A wound of such size and severity though...she wasnt sure if she were even capable of truly restoring. Still, it had to be attempted, the soothing chakra causing the damage to recede centimeter by precious centimeter. She pusshed harder, but it made little appreciable difference, and soon she would need to rest. This was very, very bad.

Setsuai's breath was coming in gasps at this point. This was harder than it looked, and it looked impossible. The medic girl's ursine patient was recovering, but so slowly. little bits at a time the raw, burned flesh was cooling and smoothing out, restoring itself to its former state, minus a great deal of hair.

A bead of sweat dripped down her face, the drain on her chakra was definitely beginning to have a physical impact on her. Lovely. And here her fine not-so-furry friend was out of the lethal zone but still badly injured. Time was running out on her chakra levels, if not the creature's life. Ever more did the scarlet wound close, raw blisters melting back into a standard appearance of pale skin unblemished.

It reminded her a bit of when she was healing back at the orphanarium. She would move from one bed to the next, always muttering encouragements, healing first this injury, then that one. She would watch as the skin knitted back to its original form, pausing only to restore herself with food and rest. By all rights she should have been dearly loved, but...half of those injuries were her fault anyway.

As a bear healed from a burn in reality, children recovered from various stab wounds in Setsy's mind's eye. Wreaking havoc and then fixing it back up again herself...those were good times. She never could resist a chance to showcase her skills. A bit of an exhibitionist streak? Maybe. But she genuinely enjoyed making people happy. Healing went a long way towards that.

And then, without her even noticing, there was a giant bear head in the kunoichi's face. Plenty close that it could eat her head and shed never stand a chance. But then it turned and walked away. Odd. And here she wasnt entirely certain if she'd gotten any better.

Apparently, an angry bear is not something you ever wish to encounter. And though Setsy had been spared in thanks, it appeared someone else was not as fortunate. On the way home setsy saw man, who appeared to be a hunter, lay so very still, with a quartet of massive gashes across his chest. Checking his pulse, it seemed he was still alive, if only just.

The zodiac seals were formed by her dancing digits, life-giving energy swelling from her wrists up to the tips of her slender fingers. Placing them on the first rend, she could only pray that the healing power could purge infection as well, for it was well known among medics that when dealing with wild animals even a tiny cut could prove dangerous. Too much bacteria thrived under their claws. The flesh knitted back tigether smoothly, there wouldnt even be a scar.

The next was bigger, and deeper. Apparently most of the impact had been with the middle of the paw. She contemplated the possibilities as she healed. Was the bear she'd just healed responsible for this? Was he the one who'd injured it? Was it simultaneaous? That wound closed, and she moved onto the next. It was possible. Hell, it was probable. The only question would be who started it?

As she healed his final injury he began to stir, looking at the world through glazed eyes. This was the first time Setsy'd ever healed such a very potentially fatal laceraton, and she felt that perhaps she had improved a bit through simple usage. As she left to continue home there was a glint of metal. He had risen, a knife held on high. He meant to kill her! What the hell!?

A roar cut the silence like a knife. Blood flew everywhere. Apparently, the bear she'd rescued was not quite finished with this man and had rescued her in the process. Considering he no longer had a head anywhere to be found, Setsuai doubted highly she could restore him, not that she would. The bear, Kumako as she randomly dubbed him, looked at her for a long moment before runniing off. "We're even," it seemed to say....

Eh, learned.
