Dragon's Curse [Open]

A week has passed since the round against Chigetsu came and gone. A week of being put into a comatose state, but treatment to Inarie's injuries was more than difficult. As none of the medicine or pain relievers worked as Inarie's body rejects it all. At some point the doctors managed to scrounge up medicine for Kaguya specifically, but it wasn't anywhere near as effective as it should be. So over the course of a week the doctors had to call in medical shinobi just to be able to stitch up the hole in Inarie's midsection. At some point, a female Kaguya with short platinum hair and a pair of blue eyes tried to visit Inarie. Only to find out that the medical shinobi wouldn't let her due to Inarie undergoing a lengthy surgery.

At some point, Inarie had developed a fever and it took days for it to break as the shinobi have to solely use Ijutsu. It surely frustrated the doctors to no end that Inarie's body wasn't accepting any of the existing medicine. Not even some of the most powerful sedatives was working on her, which greatly concerned them. They took samples of her blood, and are bewildered on the fact that Inarie is even alive to begin with. Both bloodlines living in Inarie appear to be attacking and dividing each other in a cellular level. Killing any form of life hence is why eventually Inarie's blood turns black and lifeless after it escapes her body. Which brought up the question as to how is Inarie's body wasn't being torn apart on a cellular level all these years?

Eventually Inarie finally gasped for air after a week to find herself on a hospital bed. Her hair was a mess as it hasn't been brushed in a while. She is wearing a hospital gown, but despite this she still felt a deep ache at the center of her core. Inarie winced as a groan escaped from her lips. It was intense to just sit up, but Inarie gave up and just laid back down. Staring up at the ceiling as the light was shining in a dazzling light down at her face. Inarie could thankfully at least raised a hand to shield her eyes. She was trying to recall exactly what happened, but it was a blur really. She remembers fighting Chigetsu in the Chunin Exams, but at some point there's just a black void after that stupic clam showed up. Despite the lack of memory, Inarie came to the only conclusion.

"So in the end I lost…" Inarie mutters to herself. Unaware of anyone else that might be in the room with her. A deep breath of the sweet air fills her lungs as she can feel the pain in her chest. Then using chakra within her core, she invigorates the dragon's blood which rapidly reconstructs her intestines and patches it up. The holes in her chest and her back stitching themselves together as multiple wire thin blood weave through the cavity together. Creating muscle mass, veins, replacing the neural systems that has been severed, and mending bones. Inarie gripped the sheets of her bed with an iron fist it seems as she gasped and silent cries. Pain overwhelming her as the process goes on, but the most painful was replacing the chunk of her spinal cord that was missing and regrowing the spinal disks along with the neurals which became highly sensitive. Her knuckles turned white as she grimaced in pain, but Inarie refused to submit to defeat. Finally the process was done as a large, red wet spot made its way onto her gown and the same occurred on her back. Whatever instruments that was used to clog the holes or perhaps patch it together her body removes it as the body does when it rejects foreign objects. Things that don't belong in this body.

After the healing process was finished, Inarie began coughing profusely as she rolled off the bed. Dragging wires and such with her. Needles were pushed out of her arms which lightly clatters onto the floor. It took a little while before Inarie's body could get over the shock. Once it does, Inarie stands up from the floor and reluctantly sits down on the hospital bed. Looking down at her gown with her piercing rose pink eyes, it looks like someone stabbed her repeatedly. Inarie even looked under the gown to see that there was some of her blood flowing down, but with there being no more wounds means no more blood is leaking out.

Used Draconic Healing 2 / 3 uses

After minutes passed of Inarie's Awakening, she draws in a deep breath. The air was chill to the bone, but she didn't mind it. Eventually the door to her room slides open to reveal one of many nurses with auburn hair pulled tight into a bun under a solid white cap. Clipboard in hand, her amber eyes was looking down at the contents of her clipboard when she walks in. The sound of heels clacking on the marble floor could be heard. This was quickly turned into a scream upon looking up at Inarie to find her sitting up and sees the blood spot on the gown. The heels rapidly click as she runs away from Inarie.

Following suit on it, two guards of Kirigakure came through the door with katanas drawn out and wore hardened expressions. Their eyes quickly scanned the room for hostilities as they kept their distance from Inarie.

"What happened here? Were you attacked?" One of them that's more lean and tall asked of Inarie. She offers a soft smile before shaking her head.

"There was no attacker here. My body just recovered from the damage I took, and frankly it ruined the gown in the process." Their shoulders slightly relaxed upon hearing of this. The other that is shorter held a feminine voice under the face protector.

"You were critically injured in your fight. You shouldn't be up right now." The guard's concern for Inarie's health was rewarded with a light giggle. Then Inarie stands up on her feet which makes the guards tense as they took a step forward. Their free hand reaching out like they were trying to catch her anticipating that Inarie will collapse. However much to their surprise, Inarie seems to be fine.

"I appreciate your concern, but rest assured I am fine now. Is there anyway you can contact my mother for me? And if you can, can you request to her that she brings a set of clothes?" They hesitated as they looked at each other for assurance. Then they evaluated Inarie and seeing that she does appear to be fine in at least standing. They nod their heads as they sheathed their weapons.

"Very well then, Kora, please contact her mother. I'll stay in case something happens." The tall man says to the female guard who simply nods and leaves. Inarie was fine until the guard begins taking off his gloves.

"You know, there isn't many of us out here in this world. Not many of defectors that is, but I suppose one of the defectors managed to produce an offspring." The air felt like it got colder as the 'guard' begins rolling up his sleeves to reveal two patches of fiery red scales on his forearms. A wicked grin spreads across the man's face as he eyed at Inarie and suddenly she did not feel safe here. She took a step back, and out of instinct Inarie produces a bone black as the night ninja glove over her right arm. He chuckles before an aura of fire spreads around his body in a two meter radius. Just outside of Inarie's position as well.

"Who are you, really? What do you want?" Inarie demanded as she takes a leap back to the wall. Putting at least a meter distance between herself and the aura of flame. The fire unfortunately sets off the sprinklers and the fire alarm goes off as a steel drizzles down on them. Lots of fire hissing and spitting from the water system. By this point, Inarie charges raiton chakra within her body as she waits for his answer.

"None of that matters right now dearie. Because you won't live long enough to tell it! And then Lord C will acknowledge me!" By this point Inarie has heard enough as the Yoru charges at her. By opening her mouth to exhale a streak of lightning that clashes against the katon aura. Enough to electrify due to the water falling from the sprinklers around the field to nullify the aura. Immediately after that, Inarie leaps forward in surprising speed. The man raises his arms to defend himself, but Inarie cloaks her tekken in raiton before she swings her arm up into strong uppercut. To get under his guard and strike against his chin in a powerful blow. The bone breaks skin as it adds heavy damage with Inarie's punch. Blood splattered from his mouth as Inarie makes him bite his tongue before the force sends him flying hard against the ceiling.

The man crashes down on the floor before Inarie places a swift kick against the man's ribs as she felt something crack under the pressure. The kick sends him sliding to the other side of the room. By this point, Kora runs into the room with the door flung open with a worried expression. One look at her guard she believes to be her ally, and Kora draws out her katana and points it at Inarie while standing in front of him.

"Sedrig, are you alright?! What's the meaning of-" Inarie cuts off the guard with a firm commanding tone. This Sedrig, as Kora called him, heals his wounds as he stands up with a tanto in hand.

"Behind you!" Kora flinched on the command as Inarie puts all of her speed into crossing the short distance leaving mirror images of herself in the process. In a swift motion Inarie moved around Kira's katana and grabs Kora's collar to pull Kora forward. Simultaneously Inarie swings her right arm that has the tekken around Kora to strike and block the tanto that was about to stab into Kora's neck. Sedrig looks angry and bewildered on failing to not only killing Inarie, but to kill a witness. Kora stumbles forward before turning around in time to see Inarie swiftly grabbing onto Sedrig's wrist that held the tanto before deftly presses her thumb into the pressure point of his wrist before twisting it. Simultaneously, Inarie knees the Yoru in the groin which he doubles over as well as dropping the tanto. Then Inarie brings down her left elbow hard against the top section of his back as she pivots around him. To let him fall prone before Inarie pulls his twisted arm behind him and plants a firm foot against the square of his back.

"Start talking, who is this Lord C you spoke of?" Inarie demanded in a firm tone as she produces what can be better described as a bone ring that has a small, three inch blade on her left bird finger. Sedrig growls and tries to push against Inarie, but to no avail. Kora appears to be shocked and confused on the situation unfolding in front of her as her eyes keeps shifting from Inarie to Sedrig.

"Like I tell you anything, you damned traitor! You dare defy my Lord's orders?! Who do you think are?!" Sedrig's voice quickly turned into a scream as with a swipe of Inarie's left hand the ring blade slices under one of Sedrig's fingernails.

"Who is Lord C?" Inarie demands again as she doesn't look disturbed in the least.

"Fuck you bitch!" Sedrig curses and spits as close to Inarie as he's able. That only rewarded another cry from the man as Inarie slices under another fingernail.

"Who is Lord C?" Inarie demands a third time, and this time Sedrig begins to whimper. Inarie waited about three seconds before she demonstrates her impatience by taking one of Sedrig's finger and strongly pulls it back with a bone crunching sound. His cries becomes louder as Inarie just broke one of his fingers.

"Okay! Okay! Lord C, I think he's saying that you should go fuck yourself!" Inarie breaks another finger in response to that. Perhaps her anger did slip from it, but it was more of he wasn't telling her anything. Pain obviously wasn't working, so Inarie glanced around until she spots the IV bag. The Kaguya gestures to the IV Bag before saying to Kora.

"Hand that to me Kora, if you don't mind." Her tone doesn't hold the same level of edge when speaking to Kora, and Kora reluctantly grabs the IV Bag and rolls the stand over to Inarie. By this point the sprinklers have been turned off. Inarie thanks Kora as she takes the needle with the tub with her left hand. After deftly flipping the switch to stop the flow of the liquid, Inarie inserts the needle into Sedrig's right elbow at one of the main arteries.

"Tell me Sedrig, do you know what happens when air enters your blood stream?" Inarie asks him as she flips the switch back on to let the IV flow into his system. His breathing became erratic upon feeling the momentary puncture of the needle. It feels weird for sure as the IV flows into his blood stream.

"You either have a heart attack, stroke, or respiratory failure. If you don't start answering the questions, one of these three will happen to you, and the worse part is with a stroke you'll forever live as a vegetable. Unable to function like a human being, unable to serve your Lord, and become worthless to him. Now, you don't want to disappoint your lordship right?" Inarie threatens as Kora's face drained of color. Sedrig tried to struggle in vain once more, but Inarie doesn't yield to him. He cries in defeat as he begins spilling the beans in a sense.

"Lord C… he is the one we serve. His orders was to kill off defectors that abandoned their sacred duty or are devoted to Tyrsas. You are in fact a descendant of Tyrsas, and he has betrayed us all when he attacked Lord C a little over a century ago." That answer led to more questions, but how does this matter to her?

"I haven't met this Tyrsas, so how does this put me in your orders to kill?" A pained expression spreads over his face as he takes a moment before answering.

"Lord C says… it doesn't matter if you have or haven't met Tyrsas personally. Any connection to Tyrsas must be eliminated, he said." Inarie still doesn't know who this Lord C is, but she recalls a legend about him. Perhaps her father's books would have answers to this, but now wasn't the time. Inarie gestures for Kora before shutting off the flow and taking the needle out. Kora nods her head and pulls out a zip-tie. Inarie hoists him up to his feet as she grabs both hands of his behind his back. Kora hands the zip-tie over to Inarie which she uses to securely binds Sedrig's hands behind him.

"Come on Kora, we're putting him behind bars." Inarie says to her and together they escort Sedrig out. Once out, the rest of the guards rushed to demand an answer of why Sedrig is bound. Inarie agreed to fill out a proper report and explain in detail of happened.
