The staff were worried as they had been expecting him to be okay for a long time now. The small boy laying in the bed sleeping peacefully on this day when the treatment was finally successful, many things had happened with the shock of losing someone dear to him leaving him unable to even respond for close to a month or more. It was unclear how they would deal with the issues involved, but it was definitely clear that this boy had to return to the outside world.

The boy's wings were sealed out of convenience for staff and in order not to draw too much attention as the murderous former leader of the clan had died under mysterious and dark circumstances as well as the further involvement of the other shinobi who had since gone missing.

After some time he was woken up and given some bacon and eggs for breakfast as he seemed to glare at the bacon, not sure he understood why he felt that way as he just ate it like a good little boy.

The staff wanted to discharge him, but wanted him to at least have a guide since he had lost most of his memories before the hospital with only some of his training and techniques lingering in memory, he also had torn out pages in his notebook with the information from his past all gone, and only his techniques and time in the library still evident.

They decided to request that Lux, someone who had frequented the hospital in past days to come and take care of the young boy Noel during his discharge as well as helping him get back into the swing of things as far as being a shinobi was concerned. He sat there patiently as he ate his breakfast and drank some of his orange juice as the staff went to go fetch Lux once he reaches the reception and to guide him to the boy who they hope will not prove too much of a burden on the young man Lux.

Noel thought he saw someone looking at him, but he was too busy eating his food as he began wondering about things inside of his head aimlessly. The nurse greeted him, there were many nurses but this one was the hot nurse that drove many Suna men to drink and other horrible deeds. However most did not know this until they got older as Noel was immune to her evil charms, as she introduced this weird looking guy who looked really cool as well. He thought he heard the name Lux but felt a bit confused since he thought that was a girl's name, though he was not sure why as he just had this brief memory of a flash of light and then he came back to his senses as if his life just flashed before his eyes, empty like most of his memories were now.

The guy sat on the bed which seemed strange to him, why would a guy sit on his bed unless this Lux guy was one of the doctors. The guy even told him to take his time eating and something about trying to sell off the food which made no sense at the time. He wanted to learn what the guy meant but ended up taking another bite out of his breakfast missing his chance with his mouth still full.

"Hi, Lush..." as he stopped then coughed a bit before swallowing and spoke again. "hi, Lux" as he sat there he still felt a bit weak, but at the very least he had to leave the hospital or he might end up bedridden for life. The small file simply mentioned acute amnesia that seemed to focus mostly on his past with him retaining most of his muscle memory and to some degree his communication skills as well. He required to be guided to an inn to stay at since his old home had been destroyed. He also required someone to watch him and help him get into a daily routine outside of hospital along with plenty of exercise which the hospital staff do not have time to supervise over as the young boy Noel seemed to look a little bit chubby but at a closer look he was still rather thin.

He was wearing those overly large hospital outfits that seemed like a shirt mixed with a dress to the young Noel, but they also had a shopping list so that Lux could go and get some of the basic clothing that Noel would need as well as a small bag which happened to also contain Noel's shinobi gear. The nurse would begin tapping her feet since she did not want this taking all day as they needed to make space in the wards for other patients now. As Noel took his last bite the nurse spoke up. "You two may be on your way now, and..."

The nurse moved in close and whispered into Lux's ear, "come by anytime if you want" before walking off with a grin on her face. Though she was actually a good nurse even though she was so bad.

He would lean a touch to the side as he slipped his free hand into his pocket retrieving an old warn tin. Looping his fingers over an edge of the file to open it before shuffling it into one of his hands to read before placing the tin down on his right thigh, turning his head to lightly nod at the youngster as he returned the greeting, simply allowing the miss hap with his name go straight over his head, a simple mistake one that had been made before and no doubt be made again, something easily shrugged off. His pale mint green gaze would return to the file taking his time to read through. His other hand would proceed to open up the tin resting on his thigh using his pinky and ring finger in unison with his palm to keep the tin in place as he removed an amber coloured shard from the tin, simply sliding his ring finger over the lid to close the tin again before drawing his hand up to his lips, parting to accept the amber shard. After popping the sweet into his mouth his hand would shift to the file, slowly raising his head to speak almost immediately locking eyes with the closest nurse, using his tongue to shift the sweet over to one side to ensure it wouldn’t hinder his speech, “What happened to the cloth he were admitted in?... He can’t be wondering about in note but the hospital gown, even with us needing to pick up some cloths for him.” His voice though quite the same as before took to a more assertive tone through the simple question, showing the air about him wanting a straight answer, however his features remained quite neutral. Reaching to slip the tin back into his pocket, biting down on the sweet within his mouth before swallowing it causing his adams apple to bob up and down. The nurse would look up at him from his crouched position, blinking a few times before stammering as he stood “ouh um… Ye… yes of course, I’ll go ask for you.” With that the young nurse would trail off to speak to one of the others in one of the far off corners. He would watch the male nurse stride away to speak with the nurse as he ran his tongue along the inside of his bottom lip removing a coating of sweet residue from the sweet he had consumed taking note that the nurse occasionally glanced back at them, hop fully the kid had something of some sort to wear instead of wondering about the streets of Sunagakure no sato in note but the hospital gown.

After a few moment’s the sound of tapping against the ground would draw his attention allowing his brow to raise, hitching slighting behind his golden yellow fringe as his pale hues fixed on the nurse that had introduced him and the child beside him. His gaze would hold with her for a moment, as though implanting the memory within his mind before drawing his gaze back to the child as she spoke up. Her words for the time being of little interest. Just as he were about to speak up the sensation of warm breath against his ear would send a visible shiver along his spine raising the fine hair at the back of his neck. The corner of his lips would perk up into a half formed smirk giving a light snort as she wondered off again, stealing back a glance enough for his head to tilt back a touch before snapping the file shut, drawing his attention for no back to the child, taking a moment to asses the situation he had been place in, allowing his mind to wonder, ‘ How am I supposed to sort this kid out, I’m as much out of the loop here as he is and that’s saying something.’ His and would raise still gripping the bindings of the thin folder before pressing his knuckles against his lips, arching his shoulders down to find comfort as his other arm rested against his thigh, leaving his hand to dangle between his legs. Leaning up only to speak to the child, still in mid thought mind you leaving his voice to hit at the same luxurious depth and tone as he had spoken with the male nurse, “There just seeing about some cloths for you even if it’s just until you can pick some out at a shop. Your file says you still have the majority of your motery functions…” Pausing he would reconsider his words, settling to speak simply in case the child struggled to understand, “You can still move about well enough. Your appetite seems to be okay but it looks like you could use some weight. I’ll tell ya kid I aint’ used to kids so do try to behave. Once you’ve got all your bits and bobs I’ll be dropping you off at…” Pausing a moment his hand would shift away from his face flipping the file open again to check, “you’ll be staying at one of the child safety inn’s, after that I aint' sure what they’ll be doing with you other than they will be expecting you back into service soon, as your file and equipment say you’re a shinobi.” His head would tilt to the right some as he waited for a replay and to simply see if any of what he had said had registered with the child.

As Lux was reading the file there were some blacked out areas with the main information being written down in a basic format so that anyone would understand. However before he would start reading he asked the nurse what happened to the clothes he was admitted in.

The nurse was nervous and went to go find out this small bit of information as the main nurse was a bit annoyed at having to explain something which was not quite left in the file. The file being flipped open for however long the guy planned to read it would give out basic information

*********************************************************************************************

Name: Noel
Family Name: Niitah
Rank: Chuunin
Condition: Amnesia and muscle fatigue

Height: Four feet two inches
Weight: Sixty one pounds last weigh in

Niitah Noel is a Sunagkure Shinobi, after an incident was left in our care having suffered severe shock resulting in him collapsing into acoma, over a period of several months we were able to get him to a more healthy constitution while under our care. He has retained most of his motory skills and muscle memory, however has lost some crucial memories to his past and requires careful guardianship until he has recovered.

His body is frail so it would be best adviced to not do too much training that may be hard one his body. He also has a bad constitution when it comes to receiving medical treatment as well.

*********************************************************************************************

After a few moments tapping her foot she finally got his attention before sighing as she gave her answer to him

"They were taken as evidence, anymore information than that is above your rank. Everything else you need to know is in the file" as the nurse gave a serious reply showing that she was experienced with these kinds of things she pointed once more to the small bag. "All he has are a few weapons in that bag over there, but you are welcome to grab one of those shabby robes hanging over there by the wall"

An old man sneaking out of the hospital was soon spotted only to have the nurse grab him by the neck with one arm and drag him back to his room. The other nurse from earlier simply came to bow and apologise before running off to catch up to the main nurse.

The man gave a long speech and the Noel simply nodded as he was asked if he got an explaination in the middle about whether he could move and eat well. He then said softly as he looked down to the side. "thank you, for coming to fetch me" as he gave a soft smile while blushing. He was not fully sure of the circumstances as he heard the nurse and got the smallest shabby robe they had which seemed a bit too big as his arms were completely hidden away as it looked more like a blanket was draped over him like a cloak as he moved in behind Lux to his sigh and latched onto his arm. He was a bit excited to be going out of the hospital, but he was also really nervous about this all at the same time as he hoped he would not be too much trouble for the nice Lux guy.

Even worse still, he was only eleven years old and already had the rank of chuunin, what did that say for Lux's future prospects let alone what was this shinobi world coming to.

He had at the very least expected more on the medical review from a Suna hospital, this were by far more of a disappointment than being reassigned in the first place. A hefty sigh would leave him only for his free hand to shift from its resting place to graze his hand over his face slipping into thought 'Niitah...Where have I heard that name?' Only to be dragged from his thoughts hearing the nurse speak again, easily switching his thought trail, 'Gods I hate the uniform, why is it all the pretty ones are somewhat twisted.' Holding back another sigh his hand would shift to press against his knee as he stood to his full height allowing a smirk to crawl along his lips almost devilishly so as rank were mentioned. Though out all the things the institute had done and removed from him his cheeky nature were one thing they just couldn’t remove but had in fact only made it worse over the years. His pale mint green hues would flicker back to the lad as he spoke up, simply nodding in return before stepping away and closing the curtain for the lad to have some privacy with getting changed, taking the opportunity to step beside the nurse, being stood being a massive change to his usual state when being cheeky, such would only push him further, his luxuriously deep voice would portray a light tone of surprise only for the cheeky nature to taint it towards the end, "You know I believe all of this is above the rank of someone that had up until a few days ago been strapped up to a chair due to bad behaviour in a mental institute."As he spoke he would deposit the file into his heather sack before slinging the bag back onto his shoulder causing his sleeve to hitch down exposing the marred flesh of his wrist only furthering his claim. His free hand would shift to cover the marred wrist as he continued, "But I'm sure you would have done your research on who you were giving a child too..." His voice would trail off as his attention were taken from the female once more.

His pale gaze would rest on the child for a moment slowly registering the child's actions causing his brows to furrow, 'the notes said the kid is eleven years old... maybe his mental state has regressed?' His expression would smooth off as he peeled his arm from the grasp speaking in the process now fully taking in how the robe almost seemed to drown him, "First things first. Lets sort the cloths issue out, we can tackle the rest after you don't look like your wearing an old bed sheet." He would stride off only slowly his pace as a second thought not wanting the kid to have to run to keep up with his steps. He would incline his head to the male nurse flashing a light smile as he passed in place of saying thank you. Simply assuming the child would follow he would head down along the corridors heading to one of the smaller entrances and exits to the hospital.

"Right... Noel, what sort of cloths are you used to wearing? Its best we get you something you can move about in easily since I'm sure the village will require you to be doing missions again soon, especially now there's the new Kazekage." His free hand would dip into his trouser pocket, his fingers already searching out for his addiction grazing over his lighter only for him to internally sigh, instead grasping the sweet tin and tugging that out. He would flick the tin open taking out one of the jagged sweets to place immediately into his mouth a small hope to curb the crave before allowing his arm to dip down offering a sweet to the child, speaking up again, "Have one if you want, the sugar will help." He would keep the position for a few moments giving the child time to take one if he wanted to before raising it to take another himself, snapping the tin shut to place it into his pocket. He would press the shard against his lip as he chewed the other trapped within his mouth before immediately replacing it with the waiting shard. Giving another sigh he would head out of the building occasionally checking back to make sure the child were still there as he headed for the shopping district.

The small boy Noel looked up with his green eyes to the minty green eyes of the older guy whose name he actually forgot or did not remember being told. His mind was wondering for a bit as he felt the arm pull away from him as he lost his grip on it. He began to wonder if he did something wrong as he looked down almost immediately as the arm was pulled away. He had mistaken the action for meaning that he was a problem or a nuisance. Children had a habit of mistaking the actions of those older then them and even those as young as them as well.

The guy spoke about the first thing being first which always sounded strange to him as he was told they need to sort out the clothes issue first because he looked like he was wearing and old bed sheet. He began to wonder if it was the old bed sheet that was bothering the guy as he was now trying to figure out if he knew his name or not. He was still fixating on the guy's name as the guy began to walk off in a strange stride as he gave a pitter patter of small steps to quickly catch up before walking at the same pace finding it strange that they seemed to match speeds even though Lux, as the name was beginning to resurface in Noel's mind had longer legs and a longer stride but chose such a short stride. Though Noel could not figure all of this out at the time since there were other more interesting things to worry about.

Noel just kept following on behind and Lux may not have noticed the small hand latch onto his shirt to hold on though he was being a bit nervous about it fearing he might get left behind if he grips too tightly on the shirt. As they kept walking Lux asked him a question about what clothes he was used to wearing. He began to panic a bit as he heard what was said as he began to mumble a bit as he was looking down before speaking up a bit louder so he could actually be heard.

"Lush, are there tops with open backs?" as he looked to the side before continuing as if his thought got distracted by the small moth that flew passed them. "and well short stuff, it gets really hot and..." as he stopped again when bumped into Lux having increased his pace a bit due to being nervous though it did not even seem to affect Lux even slightly. He then became even more panicky as he looked up to Lux. "New Kazekage?!"

He was a bit shocked as well as feeling he missed out on something really important. He was about to start breaking down and then he got offered a strange sweet and was told he could have one if he wants and that the sugar would help. He did not get how the sugar would help but he took it and after one bite his mood already looked to be perking up a little bit. He kept close and for some reason Lux kept looking back to him and he then said something that he felt he should have said when he got the sweet earlier. "Thank you, Lush"

His gaze would flicker back to the young lad as he felt a light tug on his shirt, his brow arching naturally. Quite a childish reaction, something he would have expected from someone younger than eleven. For the time being he would shrug off the thought pausing fully to give his attention back to the child as they spoke up. 'open backs?' The thought would easily crease his brow for a moment before smoothing off as he gaze a light shrug speaking as he did so, "I guess there's tops with open backs about and kid, its Lux not lush. That just sounds weird..." His voice would trail off as the child started up once again. His head would tilt just a touch to one side  as the kid became panicky, he certainly wasn’t the right guy to sort that mess out, keeping his luxuriously deep tone calm in his reply, "Yes, we have a new Kazekage, She's from the Ningyou clan from what I gathered, though I missed half of her speech."  

Giving another light shrug his free hand would dip back into his pocket, his body itching for another cigarette as he recoiled his hand to snap the tin shut placing it into his pocket, giving  the child a moment before stepping off out of the door, pausing again to keep the door open for the child, speaking up again, "Again It's Lux not lush."

The young and emotional little Noel was making a mistake that he kept having to have pointed out, his reaction to everything and missing of details was a sign. Having this pointed out repeatedly though began making him more self conscious about it and trying to keep up pace with Lux was quite a task. Through out the day he would be taken around certain important locations before being ditched by a local inn that was willing to accept the duty of taking care of the young little shinobi. As Noel raised his hand in a half wave as Lux and him went their separate ways he began to explore the room he would be staying in for the next month or two. He noticed his bed seemed a bit okay and did not seem like the usual hospital bed as the first thing he did was to jump on it as he bounced a bit before falling on his back sinking into the bed a bit. It was softer and more comfortable then the bed he was used to from the hospital and feeling rather excited, but being a bit too scared to go outside yet he ran up and down in his room. He even had his own bathroom as well as he kept going back and forth, for what could have been anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. The sound of feet hitting the floorboards with a fast pace, had it been any later in the day the innkeeper would have considered kicking the child out or simply silencing him with a stern voice.

Noel finally ran out of energy and plopped back down into the bed as he hugged his brand new pillow tightly. It did not quite sink in yet that an inn was normally not a permanent home, Noel began swaying his feet back and forth as he laid on his tummy looking in front of him. He then looked around and remembered to get up and lock his door before heading back to the bed and then he stretched out his arms before releasing his long and beautiful white wings as some feathers fell to the ground as he ruffled them a bit. Noel felt like he was ready to face the world and with that he finally yawned and went to sleep covered by his wings.
