Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ The Demon's of Konoha ❯ Hinata's year ( Chapter 11 )

 

Hinata's day had begun like normal since she has moved in with Rin. She had woken up at four in the morning and began her morning routine of training with one of the various scrolls Itachi had left. This morning after getting her weights and restraints to a harder level, she practiced her staff and various Tai jutsu fights. At six when she was finally done she worked in the garden and made potions and ointments for various aliments. At eight after a shower and breakfast Rin would teach her various healing techniques, and test her on the scrolls she had her read the night before.

 

With their morning routines out of the way the two headed into one of the five nearby farm towns to act as a doctor in the area. Each of the towns was far enough away from a ninja village or even a bigger city where a normal doctor would reside. In each town the people would come when they have problems or aliments and the two girls would work hard at helping where they could. Mostly it was nothing but simple acupuncture, dentistry, or even some chiropractic therapy that the girls had to perform but sometimes they had head injuries or even births to attend to.

 

Today though Hinata should have known something was up because she was practicing in the rain that just didn't seem like it wanted to give up. Fighting in the rain while trying not to slip on the mud took a lot of chakra control on Hinata's part, more so then they taught at the school. It wasn't until Rin mentioned that she was heading to a different town then the one they were scheduled for did Hinata realize exactly what that meant. Because Rin had to check on a newborn and mother that had given birth the day before Hinata was going to have to head in the opposite direction and go to the next village on her own. With a promise from Rin that she would catch up as soon as she checked up on mother and baby.

 

Grabbing her bag and heading into her destination, Hinata was worried that she wasn't going to actually be any help, or that no one would take her serious for being so young. Many people actually didn't want to listen to her because of her age or even because she was a woman that they didn't care about her experience.

 

Rin was lucky, after an unfortunate accident that had happened in Rin's youth; she had left and actually got her doctorate of medicine and even her dentistry in one of the surrounding islands. Since she was from another country, one that others didn't know exist because of a very ancient and powerful genjutsu and the school systems were different (plus Rin didn't want people to be able to find her) Rin had to take a series of tests based off of different subjects for her placement. Scoring high enough to be able to get into the schools Rin quickly got to work and graduated quickly, all while learning to heal in an area that chakra was unheard of. That wasn't to say she used her chakra to heal, when in fact she didn't. She learned other ways to heal, ones that wouldn't eventually cost her life. With her doctors license secure Rin moved out into the middle of nowhere, where she stayed until Itachi once found her. Since in there country you can take an apprentice to teach instead of actual schooling, Hinata was doing that. When she finished her official High School time, she will be able to take her doctorate tests and with an examination get her license.

 

Walking to the house that upon closer inspection you would rather say that it was considered a hut, but under a genjutsu Hinata quickly brought her index and middle finger to in between her eyes and quickly concentrated. When a little chakra was released Hinata heard the satisfying `click' and released her pose. The Gen jutsu was placed so that any one who came close to the small hut with thoughts of breaking it open or stealing the supplies inside, they found themselves confused and waking up in an alleyway somewhere. Thankfully no one has been able to breach it yet. Reaching into her pocket and pulling out a key Hinata quickly inserted it into the lock and released the dead bolt. Opening the door and walking inside Hinata quickly lit the lights and pulled out the supplies she would need. When she was finished she turned the sign on the door showing they were open, and went to sit in the room behind the plastic to prevent the charts from being stolen.

 

She wasn't there very long when her first set of patients came in. Looking up Hinata took in a patient she has never seen before, yet had the look of every person who has showed up, of being in pain. “Hello, may I help you?” Hinata asked.

 

“I need to see the doctor my mouth hurts.” The man said trying not to move his teeth as if his jaw hurt, and moving his mouth was too much pain.

 

“Not a problem” Hinata said giving the man a clipboard with the standard questionnaire about pains and aches on it. “Fill out this sheet here, and don't forget to sign the bottom so that we can treat you. Without it legally we could get into trouble.”

 

While the man was away Hinata began to make out a blue chart for her new patient. The charts were into two different colors. One was blue for dentistry, and the other was orange for medicine. The two colors were to separate the two charts, so that finding the necessary information would come easier. When the man had handed the papers back Hinata quickly placed them in the chart then asked “any known allergies, latex, penicillin, anything at all?”

 

“None that I know of ma'am” the man answered in a deep voice.

 

“That's good to know” Hinata said before walking to a door that separate the man from the rest of the rooms. “Follow me please” Hinata said leading the man to a chair. “Please sit here.” She pointed as she got on her gloves, goggles and facemask. Tilting the chair back and turning on the overhead light she asked “so what is the problem?”

 

“My tooth hurts in the back and I need it looked at.” He said taking note of Hinata in her get-up.

 

“All right let me take a look” Hinata said flashing the light in his face to get a better glimpse of his teeth. Taking her instruments and searching his mouth, Hinata soon found the problem; his back molar had a huge cavity. “You have a cavity, hold on just a second and I will fill it.” The rest of his teeth were fine but by the looks of it he didn't own a toothbrush.

 

“Oh sweet Kami would you look at his teeth” Tani said looking through Hinata's eyes. “I would bet you the poor guy doesn't even own a toothbrush. Hinata please give him one. Oh man and did you smell his breathe, so rank. Glad I am not you.”

 

`Hush Tani if I answer you out loud then this new guy really would think I am nuts.' Hinata thought sending the verbal reprimand to her tenant. `And yes for your information I did smell his breathe, and yes it smells like he ate cat litter straight from the litter box, but that isn't my job to worry about that. My job is to fix his teeth.'

 

`Better you than me. I don't think I can handle the smell of litter breathe. I'm lighting a candle, if you need me holler.” Tani answered from Hinata's mind as she went in search for a candle in her `cell'.

 

Walking into another room after making sure she didn't have any more patients yet, Hinata quickly made a mixture to drink to numb the pain and help his bad breath, and another to work on his cavity. Coming back into the room Hinata handed the man the cup with the pain medicine mixed in and had him drink. After waiting a few more minutes Hinata had the man lean back again and began to work on his cavity. First she cleaned it and then filled it working as diligently as possible. When her work was done she told her patient to expect some slight drooling problems at first but his teeth were fine. Giving him the goody bag with a toothbrush and toothpaste in it Hinata sent him on his way then began to clean the room in case of another patient.

 

While waiting for her next patient Hinata began to fill in the man's chart and what she had done. Her next patient came in then needing a refill on the bruise ointment for her five year old twin boys that always seem to be getting into trouble. At first the girls wondered if foul play was in affect and the boys were getting abused until they witnessed the boys themselves get into an argument before coming to blows with each other. After that the girls knew better.

 

Hinata's second patient for the day was a regular chiropractic patient by the name of Kino Shinomori. Kino was an older man in his older forties who had worked on his family farm since he was able to walk. When he was twenty Kino inherited the farm and had gotten married to a woman in a neighboring village and had three girls and a grown son out of the country. With no boys to help out in the fields any more Kino often ended up with back pain that was until he began to come and see the girls who began to crack his back for him, realigning his misshaped vertebrae from years of misuse.

 

“Hello Hinata, I'm here for my regular treatment.” Kino Shinomori said as he removed the hat from his head showing his balding head and permanent farmers tan.

 

“Hello Mr. Shinomori” Hinata said. “Please take a seat and I will be right with you.” Kino went and took a seat as Hinata went into the chiropractic room and lit some scented candles. A chiropractic visit also means that the patient gets a muscle massage to help with the stiff muscles.

 

`Hey, my favorite visits of the day, body cracking.' Tani said as she grabbed some popcorn from out of no where at sat down on the couch that materialized behind her. `And Mr. Shinomori is such a nice person, which just makes cracking his body just so much more satisfying.'

 

`I swear you're a sadist sometimes Tani.' Hinata thought as she double-checked the other rooms to make sure everything was taken care of.

 

`But of course Hinata, I am a demon after all.” Tani said as she grabbed a handful of popcorn. `Now, less talky and more cracky.”

 

`Fine Tani' Hinata thought before grabbing the door to the patients and said “Come with me please Mr. Shinomori.”

 

“Hinata I have told you time and time again to call me Kino. Mr. Shinomori sounds so old.” Kino said following Hinata into the room smelling the burning fragrance. “Ahh, lavender my favorite scents.”

 

“I know Mr. Shinomori that's why I chose it and you know why I won't call you by your first name. I'm leaving the room for a few minutes while you get ready. I will be back in few.” Hinata said with a small smile. It wasn't so much that she was against calling patients by their first name it was just something about the man made them want to use his last name with the mister. It wasn't that he wasn't nice or even that something was really off about him, for some reason the girls could only respect him.

 

A few moments later Hinata knocked on the door and entered the room. Walking to the Hinata seen Mr. Shinomori lying down on the padded table on his belly with the sheet draped over his underwear. Walking up to him Hinata waited until she got confirmation that he was ready before she ran her hands up and down his back as she located the popped out bone. Rubbing her hands along his back relaxing the muscles Hinata appeared to be giving a message instead of just cracking his back. When Mr. Shinomori was completely relaxed Hinata then popped his back into place. With his muscles relaxed Mr. Shinomori didn't do a reflexive jump but instead was fast asleep.

 

Grabbing some more ointment Hinata quickly began to rub it into his back and muscles watching slowly with satisfaction as they soaked into his skin, making his old scars slowly disappear, while healing his muscles slowly back to their youthful nature before all the strains and tears. Hinata had developed the ointment from her original mixture, slowly finding the right herbs to heal different ailments. So far she could heal or else help cure and restore, muscles, aches, pains, different forms of pox, infections, and had a higher healing property that allows someone to heal almost seventy-five percent faster than normal. Training with Rin had taught Hinata to keep a lot of notes on what heals what and which mixture is an analgesic.

 

With her patient sound asleep Hinata slowly left the room and closed the door behind her allowing Mr. Shinomori to get his much needed sleep. Grabbing Mr. Shinomori's chart Hinata headed back to the reception area to fill in what she had done and what ointments she had used. This way incase an injury or an allergic reaction happened the girls knew exactly what they had used last time, although if anyone really looked in the charts you wouldn't be able to see what ingredients composed of the ointments just which ones were used. This protected them from the peddlers and thieves wanting to sell the supposed `miracle cure' of the two girls. The last person that attempted to rob them got beaten badly with no doctors in sight to help them.

 

Making not of the day and time Hinata saw that in twenty minutes her job in town was over and Rin shill hasn't shown up. That was something that has never happened before and Hinata was beginning to get worried. `Tani' Hinata called out briefly traveling through her mindscape with her eyes on alert.

 

`In here' Tani's voice called out bringing Hinata into what looked like a living room with Tani sitting down on it with a pair of pajamas eating popcorn.

 

`What are you watching?' Hinata asked looking at the TV to view what show Tani was watching. `How are you watching things anyways?'

 

`Digimon season two, awesome show. I recorded it when you still lived with the boys off of the TV. Basically anything you watch or see I can record to watch later. Damn a commercial' Tani said grabbing the remote to fast forward until the show began again. `That reminds me you need to watch some new stuff because these movies are wearing pretty thin.'

 

`Well what do you think' Hinata asked sitting down next to her supposed mentor, tormentor and honorary older sister.

 

“About what Patamons digivolving into Angelmon or maybe about Kari being the eighth child.” Tani asked grabbing a soda to drink from the table in front of her.

 

`Not that but Patamon is cool. I mean it's almost closing time and Rin isn't here yet.' Hinata answered.

 

“That is kind of particular but I wouldn't worry too much.” Tani said watching the TV again now that the show was back on.

 

`Why is that' Hinata asked as she watched Gatomon set out to kidnap Kari.

 

Tani looked at Hinata with interest “You mean you've never noticed, but then again you are probably used to it.”

 

`What are you talking about?' Hinata asked with a questioning look in her eyes.

 

“Does Rin smell different to you?” Tani asked. “As in a smell you don't normally smell. Think of your friends do they have a smell?”

 

“Well Gaara always had a familiar scent almost like home or a raccoon if I had to compare it to an animal, but then with him being the vessel of Shukaku that's not surprising. Naruto has always had a rameny smell with the occasional smell of a fox, but again not surprising news either.” Hinata answered without elaborating on that. Sasuke's smell was quite different. He smelled like tomatoes for the most part and something else I couldn't quite put my finger on. Rin well she smells of herbs and dogs, but then her old clan had nin-dogs so I am not surprised.” Hinata answered as the thought of the different smells of her friends.

 

“You will find out soon enough on your own” Tani mumbled under her breathe. “Someone is coming so get out of here and let me watch my show. Holler if you need me.”

 

With that Hinata found her self looking out of the receptions desk as Mr. Shinomori made his way to the desk. “Thanks again Hinata, see you next week. I feel better than I have in ages.”

 

“Glad to hear that Mr. Shinomori, we will be back here next Wednesday so we shall see you than say at ten?” Hinata asked hoping that time would work for him.

 

“Ten will be fine Hinata, take care and walk home safely.” Kino said as he placed his hat back on his head, and put on his flannel jacket. “My wife will skin me alive if I am late again. See you Wednesday.” When Kino Shinomori was gone Hinata went and cleaned the room he was just in making it ready for the next patient should they need it.

 

Just as Hinata had the room set and sterile again Hinata heard yelling coming from the front of the office out in the waiting room. Quickly Hinata did a quick jog and was there. “How can I help you?” Hinata asked as the man in front of her.

 

With worry in his blue eyes he moved out of the way and said “my wife is in labor and we need a doctor.” When the man had moved Hinata seen a woman with limp red hair holding her belly which looked like a water balloon that was ready to pop, screaming as a contraction ripped through her. Next to her was a boy about nine, judging by his size with spiky orange-red hair with an arm around his mom in an attempt to keep her upright.

 

Opening the door Hinata rushed to the woman's side and placed an arm around her. “This way please” Hinata said as she lead the woman and man into the third room which had a hospital bed on it. “Please take off your jacket and hats and Ma'am let's get you on the bed here.” Hinata said as she lowered one of the sides of the bed to allow the woman to get onto it.

 

When she was secure into the bed Hinata began to take her vitals and asked “how long has she been having contractions?”

 

“What are contractions?” the man asked holding his hat nervously as he watched his wife in pain on the bed.

 

Hinata deciding that the man probably wasn't going to be able to answer her questions looked to the woman in bed. “Ma'am what's your name?”

 

“Lei Kon” she answered between gritted teeth as pain washed through her body.

 

“How long have you been in this type of pain, and how far apart are the rips of pain?” Hinata asked putting the woman's left arm in a cuff after turning on the machine next to her to keep track of her heart rate.

 

“It's been going non-stop for the last five minutes.” Lei said trying not to scream in between the pain.

 

Grabbing a cloth Hinata draped it over the woman's legs and lower stomach as she quickly went to work taking off her shoes and pants while putting a soaking pad under her butt when she rose off of the bed with a shot of pain going through her. Placing her hands on Lei's belly and felt the placement of the baby. “Alright baby is in the birthing position; let's see how far you are dilated.” Hinata said as she quickly washed her hands in the sink.

 

Before putting on a pair of gloves Hinata asked “are you allergic to anything, latex, medicine?”

 

“Sulfa” Lei said as she began to pant hard. “That's the only thing I'm allergic to.”

 

`Tani I need help. I've never delivered a baby before.' Hinata cried into her mindscape to see Tani jump off her couch and appear with her hair up in a clip and dark glasses on her face. Instead of wearing her normal pajamas she appeared top be wearing a long white doctor's jacket with black pants underneath.

 

`Alright I know we've learned about this but this is not a drill. Good job finding out if she had any known allergies and hooking her up to the heart rate monitor. Now you need to check to see how far dilated she is. You know what that means.' Tani answered making check marks on her clipboard.

 

`You mean I have to stick my fingers there?' Hinata thought not wanting to cringe. While she has helped deliver a baby and do some gynecological visits, she hasn't yet had to actually do it herself. Book knowledge she had plenty of but hands on in that area and Hinata was still a newbie.

 

“Don't whine and do it.” Tani said without looking up from her clipboard.

 

“Good to know” Hinata said as she put on the pair of latex gloves she had grabbed and gently put some lube on her fingers. “Now try to hold still as much as possible this might feel weird” Hinata said as she inserted her two fingers into Lei's vagina to feel how far dilated she was. `Alright its squishy, yet not bouncy, feels almost like a head. There is a very thin membrane there so she is dilated to a nine. Which means no pain medicine is allowed.'

 

`Correct' Tani said. `So what is next?'

 

“Mrs. Kon, you are dilated to a nine, which means once you hit ten you can deliver the baby.” Hinata said as she pulled off her gloves. “I am going to step next door to grab what supplies I will need.”

 

Quickly Hinata ran into the next room to grab the baby cart, complete with blanket and scales. Wheeling the cart into the room Hinata quickly grabbed the baby basket underneath, and then decided to grab two just in case. Always be prepared is what Rin always said.

 

After putting everything where she could instantly reach it Hinata quickly put on another pair of gloves as she checked Lei's dilation process. No longer feeling the thin membrane Hinata knew she had reached a ten. “Alright Mrs. Kon, you have reached a ten so you can start pushing” Hinata said, her voice keeping calm even though she wasn't. Wanting to calm everyone down and knowing that it would be hard Hinata slowly began to release her chakra around her and Lei to help soothe the woman's pain as much as she could.

 

Screaming and sweating heavily Lei slowly felt her pain ebb and felt as if the pain was slowly flowing out of her. Still panting though in between pushing Hinata could feel the woman tearing on the inside, knowing she would bleed to death and so would the baby if she didn't do anything. Knowing she was going to break a rule of Rin's Hinata began to pull her chakra into the birthing canal and wrapped the baby around it. The chakra flowing off the baby began to heal the tearing from the inside out when it began to heal around the uterus with the baby Hinata gave a small gasp as she felt something she didn't expect. Another baby was in there and none of the monitors picked it up.

 

Willing her chakra to surround the other baby Hinata felt better knowing she had the baby securing in the chakra along with its sibling. Gradually Hinata began to work on pulling the babies as Lei attempted to push her babies into existence. When the first baby was in position Hinata said “Mrs. Kon the babies are ready to come out. Don't worry you are doing wonderfully.

 

Without looking over her shoulder she said “Mr. Kon I need you to grab the baby cart that I wheeled in here. This is going to go very fast” Hinata said as the first baby's head began to crown. Mr. Kon wheeled the cart next to Hinata and begun to watch in interest as a blood covered head came out of his wife's vagina. With a scream and another push the baby was born, glowing with the healing green of Hinata's chakra. THUD, was heard as if something or someone had hit the floor. Hinata was almost willing to bet it was the boy. Hinata placed the baby in the cart she had seen that Mr. Kon had passed out on the floor.

 

`Alright second option' thought Hinata with a sigh. “Hey kid what's your name?”

 

“Sou Kon” the red-headed child said. “But my friends call me Tasuki.”

 

“Tasuki it is then. Can you help me out here? I need you to grab the other basket under the cart. We have another baby here that is about to be delivered.” Hinata said leading the other baby out gently with her chakra.

 

“Right away” Sou said grabbing the other basket and putting it down next to Hinata`s stool, as he carefully moved passed his unconscious father.

 

“Come on Mrs. Kon just a few more pushes and you will be done. We have one more child to push through.” Hinata told the deeply panting woman who begun to scream as another contraction went through her body.

 

Panting heavily Lei screamed “Get this child out of me now.” Gripping the edges of the bed turning her hands and knuckles white, Lei began to scream again as the last baby began to crown. Slowly the baby begun to emerge from the woman's frail, fatigued body covered in the same healing green chakra as the baby before it. Slowly Hinata placed the second baby in the basket provided by Tasuki.

 

“Great Job Mrs. Kon” Hinata told the woman as she cleaned up the after birth. “Rest now your daughters are fine.”

 

Slowly Lei felt herself fall asleep unaware that Hinata's chakra had healed her from the inside out. Only knowing that her children were alright and that they were fine, Lei fell into a restful sleep to replenish her strength.

 

“Very good Hinata” Tani said “Only with the checking of the dilation were you really hesitant about. Good use of chakra, without it she would have bled to death and the babies with her. No one could have done it better. Now begin the clean up and don't forget to chart. I'm going back to my show.”

 

“What happened” Tasuki asked, “That's never happened before.”

 

“What's never happened before Tasuki?” Hinata asked as she checked over the babies using the Agar system writing notes down in little charts as she went. Grabbing another bed along with fresh bedding Hinata, placed it next to the bed Lei was sleeping peacefully in. Setting down the rails on the beds Hinata carefully lifted Lei onto the new clean bed. Moving the soiled one out of the way, Hinata checked Lei again to make sure all the machines were working as it should be.

 

“My other two sisters were not born surrounding in a green light like these two were.” Tasuki said as Hinata pulled the dirty bedding off of the bed and put in the proper receptacles. Quickly cleaning off the bed and placing new bedding on it, Hinata motioned to Mr. Kon's feet and the two of them lifted him onto the bed next to his wife.

 

Handing Tasuki a basket with a baby in it Hinata lead him out of the room to give the new parents a few minutes of reprieve. Wheeling the babies into another room Hinata grabbed a cloth and water and slowly began to wash the birthing goo off of the babies. “Now what glow are you talking about?”

 

“You know what glow I mean” Tasuki answered. “The ones coming off of your hands and that went into my mom to help her give birth. When my other sisters were born they didn't have any glow around them.”

 

“Wow this is interesting” Tani answered having listened to the conversation. “Ask him if he had a glow around him when he was born?”

 

“Tasuki did you have a glow around you when you were born?” Hinata asked wondering where Tani was going with this line of questioning. Last she knew no one but a Hyuuga could see chakra and that was only an advanced user, one who knew what to look for. Others were only able to feel it.

 

“I was told by my grandfather that I was born in a bright red cheekra, charka, oh what was it called.” Tasuki asked trying to remember what it was called that his grandfather told him.

 

“Chakra” Hinata said. “In other places its called chi, magic, or spirit energy and using it could lead to the use of life energy which could equal death. Depending on where you are from and what time period you are in, depended on what you called it. Did anyone else see the red chakra around you besides your grandfather?”

 

“Just my grandfather, and when he said something no one believed him.” Tasuki said with a shrug.

 

“Interesting” Tani said “I haven't heard of one in years, especially with the last name Kon.”

 

“So is your grandfather your mothers' dad or your fathers?” Hinata asked.

 

“Neither he never actually married my grandmother; they have just been together since before I was born. My mom's dad died when she was two, I think it was. My mom is always telling me stories about grandpa. He died about seven years ago.” Tasuki said “ He was killed by ninjas from what mom says, but everyone knows that ninja's are just a fairy tale.”

 

“No they aren't” Hinata answered. “I was originally from a ninja village.”

 

“His grandfather could be one then. That places the death of Yoko Kaiton, and he would know. I thought they had died out, along with him. ” Tani said out loud.

 

`Who' thought Hinata slightly amused at Tani's rambling.

 

“Congratulations Hinata, you've found the last Fire Master.” Tani said with a huge smile on her face.

 

`Huh' was all Hinata could think.

 

Grabbing a book off of a shelf Tani put on her glasses and began looking trough the book as if looking for a specific page. “Ahh here it is” she said before reading. “A Fire Master is a person, not necessarily human who has the power and control over fire. What separates a Fire Master from a person with a fire affinity, is that a Fire Master never has to use any hand signs to control flame. With the mere thought some Fire Masters can cause a fire to erupt from nothing at all, allowing a person's death to appear to be spontaneous combustion. Few mortals have the power of being a Fire Master for the strain and huge chakra reserves. In order to harness the power of being a Fire Master, it is widely recommended that the potential candidate train in the Demon Realm, where they can find one of two Fire Masters: Lina Greywords or Yoko Kyuubi.” Tani said as she closed the book and placed it back on the shelf. “He has to be about ten to enter the barrier to the Demon Realm, I suggest he goes and seek Lina when he is of age.”

 

“Hey Tasuki” Hinata said. “I know something interesting about your red chakra.”

“Oh really and what is that?” Tasuki asked wide-eyed still at hearing that Hinata was originally from a ninja village.

 

“Basically when you become ten there is a realm where you can learn all about harnessing your power that you appear to be destined to wield. Trouble is the training could kill you, but not having the training could kill you also. How old are you Tasuki?” Hinata asked wondering what to say to the boy, but decided to wait until she knew his maturity level.

 

“I just turned twelve yesterday” Tasuki answered wondering where Hinata was going with this but could help but ask.” How old are you?” `Wow is he is small for his age, I thought he was way younger.' Hinata thought as she began filling in the charts and birth certificates.

 

“Fourteen” Hinata answered before her voice took on a small change, before Hinata's voice sounded musical now it sounded slightly raspy as if it hasn't been used in years. “You are basically old enough to search for this realm now. I want you to head towards the ocean to the left of our town and then head to the abandoned village of Purgatory. When you get there go through it and sit on the beach with the village directly behind it. On the night of the third full moon a door will appear. Go through it and you will appear in the realm needed. Once there head south and you will come to a small house overlooking a village. Go there and ask for Lina Greywords. Tell her Tani sent you for training in being a Fire Master and if you're lucky she should take you in. I can guarantee that the training will be rough, but very much needed.” Tani had answered from Hinata's body after taking her over for a minute, to keep the location of the demon realm secure. Feeling her control over Hinata ebb, Tani quickly asked, “Can you do it Tasuki? Can you remember that?”

 

“Yes” Tasuki said with confidence in his voice, finally he had a way out from his family. They were looking for him to take over the family farm, but with his sister torturing him, Tasuki knew he wouldn't be able to stay there long and he wanted to see more of the world. This gave him the perfect reason, after all anything was better than farming.

 

“Glad to hear it” Tani said as she released control over Hinata's body.

 

“So Hinata” Tasuki asked with his voice full of confidence “what do you say we go on a date before I leave?”

 

“Nope” Hinata said with a small blush and smile. Even though Tasuki was younger it was nice that he wanted to date her, so Hinata took it as a compliment.

 

“Why not? It's the red hair isn't it? You're against red-heads” Tasuki said hot-headedly and his mouth wanted to run away from him.

 

“Tasuki” Hinata said and didn't get an answer. A few more times she tried his name and still no answer. “TASUKI” Hinata said just short of yelling making his stop his verbal rampage. “I don't have a problem with red-hair. As a matter of fact my twin brother has red hair. I won't date you for two reasons. One is we are both a little young for dating. Two is because that would be unethical to date one of our patients.”

 

Looking at Hinata skeptically Tasuki asked “you really have a twin brother with red-hair? You're not just making that up to make me feel better?”

 

“Nope cross my heart” Hinata said bringing her finger up to cross over her heart showing her sincerity. “But we better get back I'm sure your mom and dad are ready to go home.” Hinata said as she led the boy back to the room with his parents in it. Sure enough both parents were awake looking over the young babies in awe.

 

Breaking out of her staring of her twin daughter Lei said “I hope Tasuki wasn't any problem for you?”

 

“None at all” Hinata said with her small smile, “In fact he was helping me clean everything up.” Grabbing two sheets that Hinata had filled in with the babies' birth times, Hinata said “now I need to know the names of both babies”.

 

“Ling Kon, for one” Lei said “after my mother.” Hinata quickly filled in the information.

 

“Kei Kon, for this one” Mr. Kon said looking at his other daughter. “This one is for my mother.”

 

Hinata having filled out the paperwork gave them both two Lei and said. “Here are there birth certificates, and you are free to go. I need you to come back next Wednesday when we are here so we can do a check up on both of you.” Hinata said with a smile.

 

Lei stood up and moved her body waiting for pain to shoot through her and were surprised to find that it didn't. “I've never felt this good before, not even when I wasn't pregnant.” Lei said stretching her limbs feeling better than she has in years.

 

Not wanting anyone to catch her secret especially not Rin, Hinata said “it's the combined effects of the antibiotics and pain relievers that you were given intravenously. I am sending you home with a small amount of each and instructions on how to use each. The umbilical cords have already been cut and should fall off within a few weeks. Keep that area dry and enjoy your new babies” Hinata finished with a smile.

 

With the Kon family headed towards the door Hinata looked at the time and noticed that she should have been closed over an hour ago, but knew she couldn't leave until all the rooms were cleaned and the only one left was where Mrs. Kon just gave birth, hours ago. With his wife outside, along with Tasuki and the twins Mr. Kon told Hinata “I'm not sure how we are going to be able to afford this visit. Do you take payment plans, or can you wait until the next harvest when our crops come in?”

 

Noticing the worry in his eyes Hinata smiled warmly and said “we don't necessarily take money for doctors' visits. Most of our patients don't have a lot and we ourselves don't get paid for the work we do. We only allow you to pay what you can or even something of abundance. Like for example, once we were given a small pig from a pig farmer or apples from a family that owns an orchard. Whatever you have to spare without shorting yourselves we gladly accept as payment, we know that not everyone has a lot of money so we don't expect it. When we get it it's nice but not necessary. We live off the land the same as everyone else.”

 

“Thank you” Mr. Kon said. “You can expect payment next week when we return. Can we also have you look at our other two girls, then also just to make sure everything is alright?”

 

“That will not be a problem Mr. Kon. I look forward to seeing the whole family next week.” Hinata said with a smile shutting the door behind Mr. Kon and locking it. Entering the room where Lei had just given birth in Hinata ran a sink full of hot water and grabbed the bloody bedding tossing it in there with soap. Filling the sink next to it with hot also Hinata got to work. With her chakra Hinata made the water scalding hot and slowly lifted it out of the sink in little streams. Using the super hot sanitized water Hinata used to chakra to clean the surfaces while she went to work scrubbing the bedding in the other sink pulling the blood out by using her chakra.

 

With Hinata being a water element and a medic she realized that she could control just about any liquid around her in a two foot radius. Tani had wanted to train Hinata in water jutsu's and seals but she couldn't yet. With Hinata's seal done incorrectly the only thing Hinata had access to was her medical knowledge, which Tani kept under lock and key until she felt Hinata was ready to learn it. Anything having to do with water Hinata was forced to learn on her own.

 

Hanging up the bedding to dry, Hinata looked around and noticed that every surface in the room was clean and didn't leave streaks or a wet residue behind. Turning to the sink the streams came out of Hinata smiled when she noticed the streams were moving as if an octopus. Raising her hand the water slowly retreated back into the sink where Hinata pulled the plug allowing the water to go down the drain. Satisfied that everything was as it should be, Hinata grabbed her jacket and walked to the front door. With her jacket and bag secure Hinata went through the door and locked the bolt lock while releasing chakra into the doorknob re-powering the genjutsu on the door. Looking at the foot of the door Hinata had seen two bottle of milk which she knew to come from Mr. Shinomori and a bushel of apples, which she could only guess came from her first patient, the man with the bad breathe.

 

Grabbing the `payments' and securing them to her bag, Hinata began the trek back to where she lived with Rin.
