Medicine Man [Plot]

[Fukui Noriaki]

Medicine, rather, the study of it. Always intriguing and nearly limitless, especially when it came to how it affected the human body. A certain individual had taken a liking to the field and trained most of his young life in the field. Seeing how different diseases and antidotes worked with or against the human body had intrigued him for years, and don't get him started on the effects chakra had. That field alone was infinite and the entire reason medical ninjas existed, and more specifically the reason the Uzumaki was awake today.

For some time Tetsu had been interested in the workings of the techniques of the Konoe clan and wanted to study them. As they produced miasma and turned that into viruses to infect opponents it was right up the young man's area of expertise. Along with studying it he also wanted to make antidotes that would work against it. Some would ask why a medical ninja who could heal themselves would want to create antidotes, and to them Tetsu would say that it wasn't for him, but for all those who didn't have his particular set of skills. He believed in a system of checks and balances and so far only a select few could protect themselves against the Konoe kekkai genkai, and most if not all of those select few were medics.

But where to find a Konoe that would be willing enough to let a random medic cultivate their kekkai genkai and make an antidote from it? Why, the leader of the village of course! At least, Tetsu hoped so. They had encountered each other once before and the results were... entertaining to say the least so hopefully the boy already had a foot in the door. Whatever the case, it never hurt to at least ask and that was exactly what the Chunin was going to do. He had already made it to the manor and was well on his way to the door that opened into her office, complete with an odd glare from the receptionist who too remembered what happened last time the man had set foot in this place. With a couple knocks the wheels had begun turning, and hopefully the fruits of his efforts would come to fruition at the end of this experiment.

Sure, she was in her office, and she was at least looking at some of her paperwork, but her mind was far, far away from that little room and whatever was written on the paper. And, surprisingly, her mind was not on sex and whose pants she was trying to get into today either. She was actually trying to think of something nice she could do for her dear little Madoka - the blonde was always hard on her daughter, wanting her to be just as good at thirteen as her mother had been, if not better. She had been pushing the girl particularly hard as of late; as a hanchou, or as a teacher, she needed to see the pinkette progress, but as a mother, it always made her feel a little mean. And the hanchou didn't want to discourage her little girl or push her too hard - Madoka meant the world to her mother, after all. Kasumi was thinking about taking her shopping somewhere, using her extensive budget to get the girl anything she wanted, and then perhaps a nice dinner out for some mother/daughter bonding time. She didn't really get to talk to her child as a mother as often as she'd like, and so she savored the moments when she did. But regardless, happiness in the Genda household never lasted long. And there was a singular cause: Nagawa. The woman tried to love him - she really did - but he didn't make it easy. He was sullen, disrespectful, rude, and had the nastiest of habits. He hated her more than anything in the universe, and despite how much she tried to explain it, he wouldn't listen to a word that came out of her mouth. And she supposed she couldn't really blame him... And then a knock sounded on the door of her office. Kasumi discreetly moved her bottle of rum to the bottom drawer of her desk and slid the drawer shut - just in case it was someone important at the door. "Come in~"

► MAKE ME YOUR RADIO turn me up when you feel low, The command to enter rang loud and clear and within moments Tetsu had entered the office and closed the door behind him. Though he had been inside the manor once before he had yet to visit the actual office where work was completed, and knowing Kasumi probably some other things. It was quaint and filled with various scrolls and books of information, all of which contained things that were well above the Uzumaki's pay grade. No matter, he was only interested in the person who occupied this office. Blue hues scanned the woman , a quick flash back to their first encounter which was most informative. "Thank you for meeting with me, Kasumi-san." He began before approaching a few feet closer. What he needed to say next would require a level of delicacy as to not get him thrown out the building in a heap. Asking a clan to not only study but make a buffer against their techniques could have been seen as incredibly rude and disrespectful. It was, in Tetsu's mind, a necessary step in keeping a system of checks and balances in the village. After all, being able to make an entire village ill without so much as a hint of a cure was not the type of mind set the young man wanted to be a part of. He had made it his creed to help all those he could, and this would help greatly in the long run. "As you may or may not know, I'm a part of the medical corps here in the village, and we.. well, mostly I have been interested in your clan's techniques for some time. To make a long story short I'd like permission to study them and make proper antidotes to them." He wasn't great at formal speaking and often went from rambling to short, blurted out sentences in the blink of an eye. It was an odd request and chances were there would need to be some more explaining and convincing before Kasumi would even consider letting Tetsu embark on such a task. this melody was meant for you, ►TAGS ►NOTES ►WORDS

If she had set up this meeting with the sexy redhead beforehand, well, she didn't remember it. To be honest, the blonde never remembered the appointments people made to see her. Perhaps she should look into getting a calendar for her desk. Or a better secretary. One that didn't make rude comments under her breath about Kasumi's sexual preferences. Hm. Now that was an idea. She scribbled down a note on a blank sheet of paper. 'Fire secretary. Find a better one.' "Believe me, darling, it's my pleasure." She winked suggestively at him. Hey, despite his inexperience, she would do him again. "Don't just stand there, it's so awkward. Sit down. The chairs are comfortable, I promise." Then she actually listened to what he had to say, and frowned. Kasumi liked the security of knowing that hardly anyone could counter her kekkei genkai techniques. That wasn't something she wanted to give up. In the hands of certain people - even people in this very village - an antidote for the Shouki Soushi techniques could prove disastrous. "I can't justify that without hearing some seriously good reasons, dear. Sometimes, the secrets of kekkei genkai are better left as secrets." She tapped her long fingernails on the top of the desk. "I truly believe this is one of those times. You're asking me to potentially put myself and my daughter at risk - if you succeed in creating an antidote, and it happens to fall into the hands of my enemies... Well, you can see why I'm hesitant. I couldn't care less about my own safety - I have skills beyond my kekkei genkai - but if something happened to my darling Madoka... I would be very, very upset." Her tone had turned from sugary and sweet to cold as ice. "Understand this. If I do allow you to embark on this research - and that is a very big 'if' - I want you to keep it an absolute secret. Do not let any other medic in this village in on it - especially not my son Nagawa. Do you understand me?" Kasumi looked him directly in the eye before speaking again. "If I found out that you let it slip to anyone... I would have to kill you. And that wouldn't be good for either of us, now would it?" Some people - Nagawa included - thought that she was nothing but a worthless whore that had no place in politics - no place anywhere but the bedroom. But Kasumi knew how to get what she wanted, knew how to get her way, and wasn't afraid to use everything she could to her advantage. She didn't like threatening the dear Uzumaki, but she wanted him to understand just how serious she was.

► MAKE ME YOUR RADIO turn me up when you feel low, Tetsu relaxed slightly when Kasumi grinned at him, no doubt flashing back to the last time they were together. He wasn't all that surprised to see her retrieve that bottle from her desk and figured that she must have been enjoying a mid-day drink before the Uzumaki's interruption. She would definitely need one after this conversation. After all, it wasn't everyday that someone waltzed into your office and asked to find a way to neutralize your kekkei genkai. "Thanks." He replied as he took a seat on one of the chairs, indeed they were comfortable. His eyes attempted not to stare at any of the various important documents that were strewn about the office. There was no telling how many secrets were contained within them. Not like Tetsu was one of those guys, anyway. He would have been too lazy to try and steal in the first place. What came next was no surprise, though seeing the woman switch from cheerful to stone cold was definitely unnerving. She spoke on the obvious risks that included her safety and that of her daughter and what could happen should the fruits of the Chunin's labor fall into the wrong hands. All great points, and for the most part all things Tetsu had taken into consideration before he approached Kasumi. The threat of death was none too fun but definitely needed to be heard so that all could correctly gauge the severity of such a task. The young man closed his eyes for a moment to gather his thoughts as this was do or die time. Any lackluster reasoning would be met with a denial for sure, and Tetsu was never all that great when it came to speaking formally. "I assure you that all the risks were carefully thought about, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to come out here. My reasons are, ironically, similar to yours. Safety, to be specific. As you fear for you and your daughters well being I am concerned with the safety of the village." He took a moment to move a few stray pieces of hair behind his ear before continuing. "Though I never foresee you doing such a thing, techniques such as these can devastate a village in a matter of hours and having no antidote leaves those without access to medical techniques completely at your mercy. Again, not insinuating that you would do such a thing, but it is a precaution that I believe should be taken." Tetsu had spoken a mouthful, though feared this was not enough to convince Kasumi. "I promise you that only my eyes, and yours if you wish, will be the only to see what comes of my experiment. I understand that a request such as this is not only excessive but also shifts the balance of power, to a degree at least. I simply want what I believe would be best for the village, and if death should be a result then... well at least we had one night together, right?" Tetsu tried to force a smile, though the tense nature in the room made it difficult to do so. this melody was meant for you, ►TAGS ►NOTES ►WORDS

But my daughter and I aren't the only people with this kekkei genkai in the entirety of the shinobi world - in case another village has gotten a hold of a distant relative of mine, I can see why it would be prudent to have an antidote on hand." If another member of her Clan were to attack the village, she and Madoka would likely be the only ones to escape with their lives - the Clan members were all immune to the bacteria created by the techniques - but that also meant that the hanchou wouldn't be able to use her greatest skill to retaliate and possibly save some of her people. Hm. The proposition was sounding more logical every moment she considered it, although she still didn't want to let him go ahead with the project. A grim smile crossed her face. "Oh, Tetsu-kun, it wouldn't even take hours. Maybe a single hour. Less for a village of this size." That was both useful information and another thinly veiled threat - it would take her forty-five minutes, maybe, to destroy Kusa, so she could kill him in a matter of seconds if she so chose. She was still hesitant to even let him try - though she didn't believe the chunin had any hidden motivations, and truly wanted what was best for the village, she could never be completely sure that she could trust him with such a weighty and dangerous experiment. "Fine." she spoke at last, sighing. "I'll allow it. But I advise you tread very carefully." Some of the ice in her tone melted away, but the blonde still wasn't as cordial as she usually was. "And of course I'm going to watch you closely while you undertake the experiment - and I would advise that you refrain from joking about it as well." She didn't find it humorous at all - though the blonde knew he was probably only cracking a joke because he was nervous, it still didn't set well with her.

[Fukui Noriaki]

► MAKE ME YOUR RADIO turn me up when you feel low, It seemed that the man had finally achieved a break through in his request, though it was by no means a sealed deal. As he had said earlier, there was no intention of pinning such a catastrophe on Kasumi herself, but since there were others that shared the unique techniques it was more of a general precaution. Granted, the leader of the village also using said jutsu didn't really help matters either. He chose not to reply immediately to let the woman think a bit more if necessary, and it probably would. Giving up the secrets to any kind of technique was both a massive risk and also showed complete trust in another individual to not use that knowledge for nefarious purposes; or they could have been a fool, but Tetsu didn't peg Kasumi as such. Of course the woman had to add in some grizzly clarification of Tetsu's previous statement, and it both slightly unnerved the boy and strengthened his argument at the same time. Any medics that fended only for themselves would probably be able to keep themselves alive long enough to flee the village, though this was assuming it was an assault from a person who wasn't on the Daimyo's level. Even they most likely wouldn't survive an assault from her plague. Then again, if all went as planned a scenario like that would be avoided. Not to say that the medics would abandon the village to save themselves for they had an oath to protect those that needed help and would see that promise through to the best of their abilities. "Good to know." Sarcasm? A tiny smidge but there was much truth in his words. The first part to fighting a disease was finding out how long its incubation period was and how fast it could spread from host to host. A single brow raised at what Tetsu heard next, and though he wanted to crack a smile he knew better. The amount of research something like this would take was staggering, but it was to be expected, and the Uzumaki was completely up for the challenge. "Ah. Thank you for understanding, Kasumi-sama. I was hoping that you would be present, because I will need a few samples to begin my research." He replied with an uplifting tone, though being chastised for the joke stung a bit. It seemed that the two would not be sharing a light hearted atmosphere like their previous encounter. It made sense, to be honest, as this was a matter that affected not only a clan, but an entire village as well. "If you'd allow me a day for finalize my preparations I'd appreciate it. I have requested a private room in the village's hospital to be closed down for research, so there should be no chance of accidental eyes wandering into what is going on. I'll be standing in front of the hospital bright and early tomorrow morning awaiting your arrival." A mouthful, but necessary information. With that the Chunin stood from his seat and bowed before exiting the office. He had quite a few tasks left to complete before everything was ready to go. this melody was meant for you, ►TAGS ►NOTES ►WORDS

It's not like Tetsu could stop her - he was merely a chunin, and she was one of the strongest people in the shinobi world. She would feel bad afterwards, but that would pass eventually - it always did. And the cute little chunin would probably never trust her again, but of course, there was always a price to pay for things like that. If the situation was dire enough, well, the choice she would make was obvious - hopefully to Tetsu as well. She didn't want to threaten her little lover, not at all, but he had to realize just what he was asking of her. She grinned at him. "Hope you don't have any open wounds. That might, ah, ruin the experiment... quite quickly, in fact." Perhaps it was a sorry attempt at a joke - after all, what medical shinobi would walk around with any sort of cuts or lacerations, when they could easily heal it? - but she wanted to show him that she wasn't as harsh as she seemed at the moment. Even though she'd just told him not to make jokes about the situation... Well, she was the exception to her own command, of course. Morning? Eww. Morning was way too early, but oh well. Maybe she could take a nap on his lap after he was done gathering samples. Yes, that would be quite pleasant. "I'll be there, darling. Bright and early." Well. Maybe she was going to be a little late. Okay, so there wasn't any 'maybe' about it. He would just have to wait it out until she decided to show up, wouldn't he? "Leaving already?" The woman pouted at the Uzumaki. "But I haven't had the chance to mess with your hair yet. Come on, Tetsu-kun, spend some time with your lonely hanchou." It was strange how quickly the woman's mood could change... uneasy and displeased one moment, then chipper and flirtatious the next. "I promise I won't bite."

[Fukui Noriaki]

► MAKE ME YOUR RADIO turn me up when you feel low, The Chunin had nearly made it to the door when Kasumi beckoned to him in that tone he knew all too well. It was weird, to say the least, considering their previous conversation's tense nature. She had completely switched mind sets, almost like there was a second personality that had finally sprung forth. Perhaps it was the woman's way of coping with stressful situations, to repress it so deeply that an entirely new side of them emerged? Tetsu wasn't a psychologist so he couldn't say for sure, but the whole situation was odd none the less. "Uh, but I should really..." He stopped for a moment to think. There was probably nothing he could say that would change the woman's mind, so there was really no point in fighting it. "... Fine." Slowly the young man made his way back to Kasumi's desk though he wasn't sure what would come next. She had said something about wanting to play with his hair, but how exactly would she go about it? Did he need to bend down, sit back in the chair... sit in her lap? It was all too confusing. Another moments thought before Tetsu took a seat on the woman's desk of all places, the distance between them barely a couple feet. If he was going to be forced to stay here then he might as well have gotten comfortable. "Welp, here I am.. an my hair too!" Sarcasm, he was pretty decent at it and felt that he wouldn't get chastised for making a semi-crude remark this time around. At least, he hoped not. While tempted to pull out the cigar that had been sitting in his pocket for the last hour or so Tetsu decided against it. He hadn't planned on lighting it, of course, but it still may have been rude, and there may have been use for his mouth a bit later on. Wait, was the young man actually getting more comfortable with the idea of being here? Damn, hopefully Kasumi wouldn't take notice otherwise neither of them would probably leave, and working with deadly pathogens on barely any sleep was just asking for something bad to happen. this melody was meant for you, ►TAGS ►NOTES ►WORDS

Not that the woman intended to do him again - not this time, anyway. While it would be fun to introduce the boy to the concept of fucking on the desk in her office, it would be quite unprofessional, considering that they had an appointment the next day. And Kasumi didn't think she wanted to let him anywhere near her with medical equipment in hand if he was exhausted because she'd kept him up all night. He took a seat on her desk, of all places, and she grinned at him. "Tetsu, dear, I suggest you find somewhere else to sit, or I might not be able to resist~" she murmured. "I'm sure we'd both enjoy the end result of that, but..." This was a strange happening indeed - the constantly horny hanchou was actually turning down the opportunity of sex. Someone would probably have a heart attack because of it. She pushed her chair back and stood up, moving to the side. "Sit there. It's quite comfortable." If he did, she would seat herself on his lap... after retrieving something from the bottom drawer of her desk, where she usually kept her extra liquor. She'd had to put the manga away earlier, when she had been forced to attend a meeting with a member of her council. He had interrupted her during the best part of it, too. So, now that she had an extra comfortable seat, the blonde was going to finish reading and see what happened between Kyou and Yukiko after the former had had really kinky sex with his ex while he was supposed to be on a date with the latter. Her guess was that Yukiko was going to kill at least one of them. Maybe have kinky revenge sex with Kyou and then kill him. Hm...

[Fukui Noriaki]

► MAKE ME YOUR RADIO turn me up when you feel low, Tetsu was a bit confused as to why Kasumi wanted him to stay. Had their previous conversation not warranted the need for a proper's night rest not to mention allowing the boy to finish all his preparations for what was to take place tomorrow? However, the body's urges were absolute, especially in her case and she probably couldn't help but mess with every guy that crossed her path. Kasumi's responsibility had definitely preceded her, and though the Uzumaki had experienced first hand... groin... body? what all the woman was capable of though here he sat gossiping about her just like every other villager. He watched as she rose from her seat and offered it to him, an invitation he gladly accepted though there was little choice in the matter. Soft, just as he remembered from that night not too long ago and for a brief moment wanted to let his now idle hands have their way, but Kasumi's statement rung true in his ears. Indeed they both would have quite a bit of fun but would be unfit to take on such a delicate procedure in the morning. "I can't tell if it's the chair that's comfortable, or what's on top of me. Which do you think it is?" A sly grin crossed his lips. If he was going to be forced to sit here and watch Kasumi read some comic book then he was going to have a bit of fun... to a degree, at least. These were dangerous waters Tetsu was treading as the woman had already admitted to barely being able to contain herself. For a moment the Chunin thought back to what he still needed to finish before the plan could commence. Inventory, sterilization, and a host of other things he had to do sometime between now and tomorrow morning, and with each moment Kasumi sat on his lap the longer Tetsu would have to stay up once the woman finally released him. Either that or getting up extra early. Nah, couldn't miss out on extra sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day indeed. this melody was meant for you, ►TAGS ►NOTES ►WORDS

"Why can't it be both~?" She was tempted to kiss him - after all, kissing didn't necessarily lead to fucking, now did it? - but she knew that, when it pertained to herself, it always did. Just about everything led to fucking with her, actually. Ehe... Well. It wouldn't really hurt anything if she gave into temptation just a little, would it? She was mulling this over as she read. Yukiko had chosen the revenge sex option, thinking she'd dominate Kyou, but he'd turned the tables on her and had tied her up so he could have his way with her. She shifted to show Tetsu the manga pages. "Want to try that sometime, hmm~?" The hanchou had asked mostly because she knew it'd embarrass him, and the redhead was so cute when he was embarrassed... If she let that train of thought continue, this was definitely going to end in kinky office sex. Kasumi sighed and set the manga down on her desk, then turned to face him, threading her fingers through his gorgeous hair. "I should let you go, shouldn't I?" A short pause, in which she briefly pressed her lips to his. "Hm.. but I don't want to." That reasoning - because she didn't want to - was a little childish, but hey. She was the most powerful woman in Kusa, surely she was allowed to be a little childish every once in a while. Anyway, she'd let him decide. If he wanted to stick around and have a little fun, then they would - but if he insisted that she let him leave, well, that was that. She'd just have to find another time to introduce him to some of her kinks.

► MAKE ME YOUR RADIO turn me up when you feel low, She had raised a good point for one would not want to put a perfectly good bum on an uncomfortable chair, perhaps he would look into getting one of these for the hospital. After all, filling out all those charts day in and day out was none too fun on a rickety wooden chair. Tetsu leaned his head towards Kasumi's and returned her nuzzle, this was not going well. Surely there actions were going to lead to inappropriate actions and lackluster performance in the morning. Maybe this was the woman's plan to prevent the Chunin from going through with the experiment as even though she had given consent it wasn't with a happy tone, though he had faith that she would keep her word on the matter. Blue hues shifted to the artwork printed on the pages of Kasumi's comic, the scene something right up her alley. Apparently someone had decided to get a bit experimental with some rope in their love making. The next words the Uzumaki heard turned his face nearly the same color as his legendary hair and he let out some kind of cough-choke hybrid in response. Tetsu had just experienced sex for the first time not too long ago, by Kasumi's hands... er, body, no less and was still pretty new to the whole thing so presenting such an idea proved to be too much. The Chunin leaned back on the chair and placed a hand over his blushing face. Kasumi had surely done that on purpose, the boy was sure of it, and hoped that her question wasn't some kind of foreshadowing. Tetsu spread his fingers just wide enough to let one eye view the woman as she faced him. So she had finally come to her senses and allowed him to leave, or at least the thought had crossed her mind. It was an odd position, as Kasumi was the leader of the village so ignoring her orders could have led to some terrible consequences, but there were greater goods at hand. Besides, it wasn't like she was the one who had to handle deadly viruses in the morning. Though it should have been an easy decision, the Uzumaki wasn't entirely set on leaving just yet. He enjoyed the being around this woman as she had brought out a different side of him, though the bondage idea had overdone it. "It's up to you, O-Leader-sama." A joke, one that Tetsu would laugh at regardless of Kasumi's disposition. If being a shinobi didn't work out then the boy had a bright future in the comedy business waiting for him. this melody was meant for you, ►TAGS ►NOTES ►WORDS

Ah, there it was. This was the reason she liked inexperienced lovers. They blushed all the time, and it was always cute as hell. "Aw, don't you want to tie me up and have your way with me, Tetsu-kun~?" She pouted at him, holding back a wide grin. Oh, he was fun to tease. "If you want to try, I'm sure I've got rope somewhere in here..." She actually did have a length of rope in her office. Where it was, exactly... Ehe, well, she wasn't entirely sure. But she could definitely find it... No, no, no. She couldn't tempt him into trying bondage right now. He needed to go sleep or whatever he did at night, and so did she. Goddamn, being responsible was hellish, wasn't it? Sighing, she stuffed a bookmark in the manga and tossed it back into its drawer. "I really should let you go..." Kasumi brushed her lips against his for a brief moment, then slid off his lap. "Shoo, you. Before I decide I'm never going to let you go. We'd both enjoy the result, but we both have jobs to do tomorrow." She went over and opened the door. "God, I hate having to be the responsible one. It's not any fun at all." she pouted. After he removed his nice bum from her chair, Kasumi brushed past him, retrieved her manga, and flicked off the lights. She was going to go home and finish reading her manga in bed. Would she sleep after that? Well, probably not, ehe... She'd probably end up waking up the kids, is what would happen.

► MAKE ME YOUR RADIO turn me up when you feel low, The man tried to swallow, but his throat had closed up due to all the nervousness. If he knew that Kasumi was just going to sit here and embarrass him the entire time then Tetsu would have left the first go round, though the lump in his pants hinted otherwise. His face had grown more red, if that was possible, and in terms of a response all he could do was divert his gaze to the wall. Was the woman always such a tease with people that she had an advantage over? Perhaps revenge was in order, though that would only serve to open a flood gate of increasingly awkward and surely perverse pay backs, if that was the correct phrase. Blue hues shifted back to the woman as she spoke once more, hopefully sense was finally beginning to come to her. The kiss was... almost. If they had connected even a touch more then this night would never had ended, and while the two would have enjoyed it immensely they would have paid for it in the morning. Tetsu chuckled at Kasumi's whining, it was clear that not getting her way didn't happen often. He rose from the chair and contemplated taking it with him, though that would be better served for another time. "The rough life of a village leader." The Uzumaki joked as he walked out of the door. There was so much to do and not near enough time to get it done. His first stop would be the hospital to check over the various instruments that would be used, most of it looked to be in place. This would take him a few hours and by the time he finished it wasn't really worth walking all the way home just for a couple hours of shut eye, but no sleep was better than no sleep in his book. ***** It was a bright day in Kusa, the early morning sun shining vigorously over the village. The villagers would have no doubt enjoyed this day to the fullest, except for two who would be stuck inside working with deadly bacteria. One of those was Uzumaki Tetsu who, like he promised, was standing in front of the entrance to the hospital and awaiting the second person, one Genda Kasumi. She was an integral part, hell, every part to this entire experiment and the Chunin was probably in her debt for life considering just what he was attempting to accomplish. But enough about that, the woman was late, a fact that Tetsu could have predicted considering her interesting persona. The two had spent a bit of time together the night previous but nothing serious, though that comic she had been reading probably put some ideas in her head. this melody was meant for you, ► SO SING ALONG TO MY STEREO
