Shiki woke up with a start, and she found herself on a bed. She figured out that she was wearing a hospital gown. As she tried to move, she could feel a dull pain around her body, and she remembered the reason why she was there. Explosion. A bomb. Someone had put the bomb inside the air conditioner in the classroom of the kindergarten. When that explosion occurred, Shiki used her body to shield her students from the explosion that occurred. While she was skillful enough as a ninja to avoid being hurt, but avoiding the explosion would mean leaving the children to die due to the explosion. So, she had chosen to use her body to shield them. The kindergarten teacher could feel that she was bandaged all over her body. She was glad that her face wasn't bandaged, though. It would mean that her face was uninjured. She sat up and she had to grit her teeth due to the pain. She pulled out the IV grip needle and grabbed its stand so she could support herself as she stood up. She started moving towards the door, albeit slowly due to her injuries. She reached out to the knob and opened the door. She didn't like the feeling of being confined in a room. She wanted to get out. She seriously wanted to get out. Supporting herself with the IV drip stand, she moved out from the room. "...N-need.. to get... out..." Shiki muttered. As she moved, she lost her grip on her only support before she fell flat onto the floor. "Nghh!!" she tried to get up, but due to her injuries and her deteriorating energy, it was quite a futile struggle to even move her limbs. And SHIKI didn't make any sound. Perhaps she was unconscious? |

"Whoa-whoa-whoa! Miss Kunagiri! Please, you need your rest!" He only met her once, that time in the park. But it gave the impression she'd do anything for the kids under her care. The fact that she literally took a bomb for their sake only confirmed that. Benkei had volunteered at the hospital after he'd jettisoned the extra jobs and found that he managed to streamline his affairs to the point where he could afford to invest the time to do so. Couldn't have been at a better time, as far as he'd heard, lots of people had ran into some hard luck lately. He'd just got done assisting the tinniest nurse in the hospital move a patient and he came upon the scene. "What's so urgent? You're okay, you're going to be okay, but it's way too soon to try walking around." He was going to guide her back to her bed. He could only speculate why she'd want to leave so urgently, but he knew she was doing herself no favors when she badly needed the rest. |

And Benkei was there to help her. Gritting her teeth, Shiki to move forward, but then she fell again. "Nghh!" she never felt this helpless and weak before. "...t-the kids... w-where are they...?" she asked Benkei. She was referring to her students. |

"Safe and sound at home, at this hour. Probably in the middle of making you a get well soon card. Kunagiri-san. None of the children were hurt, and it's all thanks to you." The admiration was obvious in his voice, even as Benkei was guiding her back to the bed. She couldn't do anything but worsen her situation now. "They'll visit you as soon as they can, so, get some bedrest now, okay?" |

"B-but...!" Shiki wanted to say that she needed to see them, but considering that she wasn't in a good shape to even move around, she thought that it's probably good to return back to her bed. "...a-alright..." She felt so weak, so helpless. As Benkei helped her to move, she couldn't help but to sniffle a little. |

"Hey! Cheer up, Kunagiri-san! You'll make a full recovery in no time!" He was trying to keep up her morale. Quite a difficult thing to do given their circumstances, but important as well. He helped her back into bed and tucked her in. "If you need anything? Lemme know. I'll even arrange to relay a message to your students for you, if you like!" In the back of his mind, a nagging question was upon him: What kind of warped mind would bomb a kindergarten classroom? What purpose would that serve? |

Shiki smiled slightly as she saw Benkei's attempt to cheer her up. At least there's someone who would care of her. "SHIKI, are you there? If you are, please make a noise or something." "..." "C'mon now, don't do that. It's not funny. Just do whatever you like to do. I'll tolerate your vulgarity this time. I... I promise..." "..." "SHIKI? C-can't you just... say something?" "..." "...please say something. Just anything but silence. I'm afraid. Please don't leave me alone. I'm... I'm scared..." "..." "P-please... I... I don't like being alone." Sniffling again, Shiki looked at Benkei into his eyes before she requested to him for something "Will you... stay with me for a while?" she looked away after saying that. "I'm... I'm scared..." She couldn't believe herself. How could she become so... weak and vulnerable? As a Kunagiri, being weak and vulnerable was... unthinkable. |

"Yeah, of course." He pulled up a chair right next to her bed and even offered to hold her hand if she wanted. "It's alright to be scared. Y'know? I don't know any part of what you went though that wasn't scary, Kunagiri-san. At least it's over now." You can't say that for certain. 'What?' There's more to this than you're seeing. Something important. Well, that was… disquieting. Sometimes having an occasionally cold, analytical machine in your head was not as awesome as one thought. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay with you as long as you like." That much, he could say for sure. |

"T-thanks..." Shiki said, expressing her gratitude to Benkei. When Benkei was sitting next to her bed, she sighed. Somehow, it was quiet. Awfully quiet. Depressingly quiet. "Neh, Benkei-kun, will you... say something?" she requested. "Just... anything. I don't really mind..." from her voice, one could tell that she was desperate. She disliked the silence, and she wanted to kill the silence by having a conversation with Benkei. |

"Of course." He smiled, and wanted to say something, but the words didn't come. Not just on the spot like that. And then? Something came to mind. "Hey, Kunagiri-san. Could you tell me why you wanted to be a teacher? I mean, you're the kind of person I think would be a good one, but that never answers why yknow? It's something I can be really curious about sometimes." |
