1 Responsibility and Consequence [Harichimo/private/nokill] Tue Aug 16, 2016 9:25 am

Regret. It burned in the pit of his stomach when he saw her. One of the young Subterra agents that he had been in charge of had just stumbled through his door and collapsed. Tomoko had come in, panting from shock, her fringe matted against her face, she had clutched the wound in her gut while blood coursed freely from the wound. Now she lay helpless before him, out cold in a pool of her own warm red life essence. It felt like the air had been sucked out of Fukai's lungs. This was his fault, she was his responsibility. He had to do something.
Fukai plucked her little body from the floor and ran out the door. Where would he go? He couldn't just take her to the hospital, but she needed immediate medical attention all the same. His mind was a mess, he had not been prepared for the shock of finding one of his young charges in such a miserable state. He scooted to a stop, head twitching from side to side frantically trying to come up with something. Then he remembered an old friend. Harichimo's family ran a clinic, there was a chance that they could help him out discretely. Fukai flowed chakra through his scarf, animating it. The long ribbon coiled gently around the girl's body and lifted her into the air above him. The red scarf bandaged her wound and pressured it, slowing the flow of blood. Next he opened his pores and called some fuuton chakra to surround himself and lift himself off the ground, levitating. Then he called upon the chakra to form a veil around him, diffracting the light so as to hide himself from onlookers. lastly, he willed himself forward, taking off and accelerating through the streets. He flew past people and structures, weaving through the maze of streets towards the other side of town. His own body could withstand the g-forces at each turn, and the scarf suspension acted to protect the wounded agent.
This had happened because of a task that he had issued. Fukai had asked Tomoko to spy on a particular ANBU agent that he was currently investigating. Fukai was starting to draw attention and it was getting difficult to make moves without others taking notice. He had hoped that the girl could tail the target and report back to him unnoticed. He could see now that it had been a foolish move. The Subterra agents had been trained in stealth by Gi himself and they were a talented bunch. Fukai had grown confident in their abilities and had continually raised the level of responsibility that they each held. Regardless, they were still nowhere near ready to take on a seasoned Crimson Elite member, lacking the experience and finesse required to out-spy a spy. Of course they had never refused his wishes, they would never speak against him. She had trusted Fukai and he had let her down. Thankfully for her sake, she had been able to make it to him in time. Maybe the injury she had been inflicted with had been a warning, maybe she had escaped and attack with her life. It didn't matter now. He should have never involved her in his own affairs.
Fukai had arrived in front of the clinic and he released his fuuton jutsus. He would enter the clinic and call for help, the girl still wrapped up in his scarf, now lay suspended in it. She looked like she had taken a nap in a red hammock, but really she was close to death.
