3 Jutsu: [Action]

[Action: Incredibly early in the morning.]

[It was still dark outside and Nagato already knew he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. That dream had been... He'd woken up like this more than once since his memories had been interfered with, it's true, but he hadn't remembered why.

He hadn't remembered the dreams. Now, he was somewhat mortified, very confused, and extremely concerned if this was some kind of revenge from his Sensei from beyond the grave. Given the man's later works and his philosophies where women were concerned he wouldn't exactly be surprised but...

But that still didn't make it any less strange, or embarrassing, or confusing, given that he'd never had dreams like this in his life.

Though, to be fair, he hadn't exactly been healthy enough for that to be the case. Not that he realized that this, more than a determined ghost of Jiraiya, was the cause of his disturbance.

No, instead he just dressed, and went hunting outside for somewhere to train to try to get his mind off of it, and to try to... calm his nerves.]


[Action: Later that morning, before noon.]

[Getting his mind off it hadn't worked. No, instead, if anything, he'd picked at his thoughts mercilessly because he'd given himself time to think about it instead of keeping himself occupied with something intellectual.

Not the wisest plan he'd ever had. In the end though, he didn't know what else to do, but he needed to know if this was... incredibly abnormal, and the medics he'd worked with were still back in Ame so...

Clinic.

He'd just... go in there... and apparently stand incredibly awkwardly just inside the doorway trying to decide if he should ask to see someone about... this.

He had no idea why he thought this was a good one.]
twinlionfists: (unexpected)

[Action, clinic]

[Hinata had chosen that day to spend the morning at the clinic, but she'd gotten so into her duties that it was well after three in the afternoon and she was still there, and hadn't eaten yet either. After being pushed out of the door by one of the other people who sporadically helped at the clinic to go get lunch, she had nearly made it to the door when she froze in her tracks.

Red hair the color of blood...the same shade as Uzumaki Kushina-san's. Except he was male and looking decidedly uncomfortable.

She understood that all too well, so with a bit of courage, she stepped forward to address him.]


E-excuse me, is there something that you need assistance with?
twinlionfists: (cutie)

[Action, clinic]

[personal profile] twinlionfists 2013-09-16 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nodded a little, trying to give what she hoped was an encouraging smile.]

That is generally why people come to the clinic, yes? Would you be more comfortable in an exam room?

Morning, before Nagato goes out

[personal profile] origami_ninja 2013-09-18 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She'd talked to Crona about him meeting Nagato at some point. She still had to talk to Nagato about it, and this seemed like a good time. Nagato would probably be awake by now.

Presently, Konan has a bundle of freshly washed laundry in a basket. She stops by Nagato's door, knocking to see if he's available. They've known each other for so long that it doesn't even occur to her that some of those freshly washed garments might be a little embarrassing. They're just articles of clothing, after all. Even if they are skimpy.

Nagato? It's me.

[personal profile] origami_ninja 2013-09-19 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
Did I wake you, Nagato?

[His face looks a little flush and she wonders if he had to run to the door. His hair doesn't look wet and she doesn't see any steam that would indicate that he'd just recently showered.]
twinlionfists: (determined)

[Action forever~]

[personal profile] twinlionfists 2013-09-20 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
[What he didn't know is that she'd begun to slowly put the pieces together. The Rinnegan, the Ame hitai-ate, the red hair.

She waited until they were in the exam room and the door was shut before she spoke.]


Nagato-san, I believe you and I were never properly introduced the only time we had the opportunity to meet. My name is Hyuuga Hinata. [There was no reason to beat around the bush after all.]

twinlionfists: (bashful)

[personal profile] twinlionfists 2013-09-22 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He obviously didn't know much about Hinata if he was questioning her civility levels. No, she could remain as civil as she needed to be in a given situation, even with the person who was responsible for a beating that had nearly killed her. Not that saving Naruto-kun hadn't been worth it, because it had been, in her mind.]

Please be seated on the table. We can talk before we get to the reason for your visit, if you would like.
twinlionfists: (Stay away from my man!)

[personal profile] twinlionfists 2013-09-22 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Then she would have to get the unpleasantness out of the way. It was the only proper thing to do in this situation.]

Then I will begin by saying that I do not wish for any retaliation for what occurred during the Akatsuki's destruction of Konoha. It was an act of war and I stepped onto the battlefield that I had been repeatedly warned away from. I...I could not sit by idly as you and Naruto-kun fought.

Your...actions at the time were completely justified as an enemy.
origami_ninja: (worried)

[personal profile] origami_ninja 2013-09-22 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you feeling well? Your face is flushed.

[It's something she worries about. His health may be better than it has been for some time, but that doesn't mean his health is perfect.

She carries the basket with her. She'll put them away in her own apartment shortly.
]

twinlionfists: (heh)

[personal profile] twinlionfists 2013-09-24 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
I would be lying if I did not say that Naruto-kun's belief in you and Konan-san is the reason that I have allowed myself to reach out to the both of you. War is...war is never easy. That is a lesson that I have taken from the teachings of my elders.

[Despite her firm words, she is looking at the man kindly.]

Now that the formalities are out of the way, please tell me why you have come to the clinic today.
origami_ninja: (conflicted)

[personal profile] origami_ninja 2013-09-24 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[And yet he'd just told her that she hadn't woken him. Something is going on. That flush is a stark contrast with his fair skin.

She reaches up to put her hand against his forehead, placing her other hand on her own forehead for comparison. Perhaps she's fussing a bit, but she doesn't want him to reassure her that he's fine when he's actually not well. She knows the extent that he'll push himself when not kept in check.
]

Hmm...your temperature is fine, at least.
origami_ninja: (breaking apart)

[personal profile] origami_ninja 2013-09-27 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
...sorry. I worry, even when it's not necessary.

[Especially now. She already lost Nagato once. She recognizes that he's highly capable, but she also knows he pushes himself and ignores his health if he feels something is more important.]

Do you have any plans for the day?
twinlionfists: (confused)

[personal profile] twinlionfists 2013-09-27 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, that's not very specific...]

Such as?
twinlionfists: (flail)

[personal profile] twinlionfists 2013-09-27 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hoo boy, she sure is blushing at that. Awkward doesn't even begin to cover that.

She opens her mouth a few times, but closes it right away again.

What is she supposed to say to that?]


Um....

[And then she remembers her training with Shizune-san and talks with Kurenai-sensei. Okay, she can do this, maybe... She hopes.]

Wh-while most males experience this at a much earlier age, it is normal, Nagato-san. Have you... have you recently been in a situation that is different from normal?
