Day 44: Women's Showers (2nd Shift)

[hajike-tobiume.livejournal.com]

The sting of the water on Momo's wounds reminded her exactly where each and every burn was. Between that and the clear plastic wrapping the nurse placed around the long cut up her arm to her shoulder, she decided as little time in the actual spray would be wise. Sitting on a stool out of the direct stream, she went about scrubbing the grit and grime.

It almost felt weird to be alive with her throat intact, but Momo was not about to wish it was otherwise. In the past, maybe, but she remembered who she was and could not allow herself to become what she had been prior to her encounter with the undead knight. Wincing a bit with the pain of washing, she turned her thoughts to her upcoming meeting with Shikamaru. Or rather, she tried to. She still had to see Hitsugaya once she finished her shower.

Who wouldn't agree that saving the world had been a good thing? Except for the bad guys. They didn't count, though, since they were a) the instigators and b) a bunch of brainless retards. "Maaaaybe," she replied, faux-thoughtfully. "Not that I care what they think; they tried to do their job, we just did ours better. Win-win, in the end." In a (very, very) loose matter of speaking.

The gloop on her hands was cold and sticky, clinging between her fingers. Squeezing her hands together, Yuffie twirled back under her showerhead. Speaking of win-win… She glanced sidelong at Cissnei. "That'd be real cool of you," she said. "We've got a common enemy here, so I'd really rather not waste my time kicking your ass."

Yuffie didn't have any doubts that the Turks could and would turn on her, if it came to it. She wasn't worried; three on one would be a bit of a pain, but playing the environment to ones advantage was a ninja speciality. Humming tunelessly under her breath, she dipped her head forward to rinse out the conditioner.

"Mmm, I'm sure," Cissnei replied with a smile, leaning back against the cool tile of the shower wall as she regarded her companion with interest. "I can't really give an accurate assessment without knowing what happened later on for certain and why I wasn't around for it." All she knew was that her mission had failed and that something bad had happened later. It wasn't exactly a lot to go on.

Her lips quirked when Yuffie suggested kicking her ass. She would be the first to admit that someone her size could be particularly dangerous, but Cissnei also knew that she was a brilliant combatant herself. She'd trained for most of her life after all. "I think there are plenty of things here to focus on killing before turning on other patients. I'll be glad if I get a weapon."
