Crap... I'm in coma

[Kurakuren Shima]

Two months have passed since the battle against Karatsu and his teammates. Everyone had already healed completely. But ever since Kurakuren had passed out since the battle he hasn't woken up. He could sometimes hear voices but he couldn't open his eyes it seemed nothing could wake up Kurakuren from his slumber, snack packs were not waking him up. Not even pudding was waking him up, and that was something that had never happened. What could his friends do, was there something that could wake him up? Who knows maybe a mission or a bath in pudding could wake him up... He then heard a voice talking to him about something...

[Sachi Akita]

"Ren, you should really wake up sometime soon. You don't really fit the description of sleeping beauty. Ooh but I guess I could get a cute prince to kiss you.. Hm.. who would it be? Neji? He's kind of a prince.... but since you're a guy then I guess you'd need a princess. So Hinata?" Sachi stopped laughing and eatting one of the many puddings sitting on the bedside table to laugh at the image of Hinata's face if Sachi had asked her to kiss Ren.

"Can you picture it Ren? Hinata's face would go completely red and she'd probably faint at the idea of kissing a boy... mm this pudding is really good Ren. You're really missing out. Here, try some."

Sachi stood up after openning a new cup of pudding and she leaned to where she was now leaning over Ren's sleeping form. She was about to put the spoon up to his mouth to on the off chance that having a spoonful of pudding that close would actually wake him up, when someone came into the room behind her.

Sachi jumped, which caused her to drop the whole cup of pudding onto Ren's face. Sachi sat back and laughed, "Well I wonder if a pudding bath is good for your skin..."

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya walked into the room, seeing Sachi drop pudding all over Ren. He was still using crutches and the ever present, stained bandages were wrapped around his mid section. He still couldn't wear a shirt, so he wore his jacket over his skin, keeping it open, revealing his chest. He had heard Sachi talking about the Sleeping Beauty scenario, and about getting someone to kiss him. "Maybe you should kiss him, Sachi. That'd be sure to wake him up."

[Sachi Akita]

Sachi looked back over her shoulder, still leaning over Ren, keeping herself supported by her one arm.

"Hey Keys! I was just trying to feed Ren some pudding. Now you made me get it all over him." Sachi accused playfully. She looked back down at Ren and giggled, giving her shoulders a slight shrug.

Then she leaned in slightly and kissed his chocolate pudding covered cheek. When she stood back up, she licked her lips, "Mmm Chocolatey!" She exclaimed and turned to look at Kekeya.

"So Keys, how are you feeling?" She asked, leaning against Ren's bed, crossing her arms across her chest.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya coughed, and flung his hand to the side, to clear the blood. "I'll live." Kekeya took a few crippled steps further and looked at Ren. He was worried about his friend dearly. If he wouldn't wake up from that, then it looks like everyone will just have to cross their fingers. Suddenly, Kekeya remembered something. He sat down in the chair next to Ren. "C'mon, buddy. If that doesn't wake you up, what will? I need you awake. I can't do this mission without you..."

[Kurohi Takedi]

Kurohi walked into the room. "He is not going to wake up like that you know... He wasted his life force with the Holy Palm." Kurohi said reminding Kekeya and Sachi about Kurakuren's over use of the Holy Palm. Then he thought about something, "Hey why don't we try to motive him maybe he can hear us or something?"

[Sachi Akita]

"I know that Kuro, but you realize how upset he'd be about me letting all that pudding go to waste?" Sachi asked, shrugging slightly.

Her wide brown eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile disappeared from her face for a moment.

"I know why he's not waking up, but it is time for him to. I'm sure he's rested enough. What could we do to motivate him?"

Sachi turned back to face Ren before Kurohi answered, she took a wash cloth and cleaned the rest of the pudding off of Ren so that he wouldn't be sticky.

"There, all nice and smooth." She said.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya gave Kurohi a cold look. "You don't even know what I'm talking about, so keep it shut. I know he's out, because of that technique. I've known him longer than you have, so you really shouldn't go around, telling me things about him I already know. You think you know everything, but sadly, you don't. I really do have a mission that I can't execute without him." Kekeya was getting tired of Kurohi, always saying the first possibility he considers, without thinking it over. He really wanted to belt him across the mouth, but he couldn't move too fast, due to his condition.

[Nicholas]

As the group inside the room bickered, one of the many shadow clones that Nicholas had made to keep the day watch walked down the hallway, certain that it had found the right room from the amount of chakra leaking out, even without using the shinigan. Settling in, it leaned against the doorframe outside of the room and waited with it's arms crossed and hidden inside of the uwagi's loose sleeves.

[Kurohi Takedi]

Kurohi responded back to Kekeya's cold and blunt statement. "Well Mr. Know-it-all-about-Kurakuren. Do you really know everything you could possibly know about Kurakuren... Are you sure he hasn't hidden something from everyone... Like maybe something about his past or the real reason why he wanted to leave Konoha in the first place..." Kurohi looked confident in everything he said, he knew Kurakuren hadn't told anyone those things. "Or how about his birthday?" Kurohi said lastly. Nobody knew Kurakuren's birthday, in fact he never celebrate it since he got to Konoha. Kekeya put his face down like everything Kurohi had said was true. "That's what I thought" Kurohi said lastly before him and Kekeya started arguing again.

[Kurakuren Shima]

As Kurohi and Kekeya argued and argued something seemed to be happening to Kurakuren. He started to dream about Ce, in the dream he said Wake up Kurakuren, It's time and then in a split second it vanish and Kurakuren volted straight up shouting "I didn't eat the Pudding Pie!!!" Kurakuren looked around. Everything seemed to have stopped, whatever Kurohi and Kekeya had been arguing about they had forgotten it. They looked at Kurakuren and then Kurakuren said, "Hey how's it going?" He showed off his famous carefree smile that seemed to make everyone happy. Kurakuren tried to get up but fell to the ground only to be caught by Kokugen who had appeared from nowhere. Then something strange happen Kurakuren's Inhaling Maw activated by his own making Kokugen look old. But somehow Kurakuren looked healthier. He didn't seemed tired. He was perfectly fine. Kokugen looked at Kurakuren with a what the hell face and then immediately turned himself back to his normal self. Luckily Kokugen had control over time which replenish his life force by alot making Kurakuren replenish his own life force he had lost and now he was ready to go. "So Keke, what's this mission you were saying about?" Kurakuren looked like new he looked fine like nothing had ever happened to him.

[Nicholas]

Well............. that's an interesting development. At the very least it should make my job somewhat easier..........

Pushing off of the doorframe, the clone walked a short distance down the hallway before cancelling the jutsu.

[Sachi Akita]

Sachi had stood in the background for a while, happy that Ren had woken up. But she wasn't exactly what people would consider patient. When she was satisfied that Ren was healthy and wouldn't fall back down, she ran at him and wrapped her arms around him before Kekeya had a chance to reply to his question.

"Ren! You're better? Yay!" She cheered, nearly knocking him down. She pulled away looked at him sheepishly. "I uh.. kind of ate some of your pudding while you were gone." She informed.

Then she skipped toward the door, turning back to give Kekeya and Kurohi a look that was somewhat on the serious side. "You two be good now." She said and skipped out the door with a brief wave.

[Kekeya Sasaki]

Kekeya was dumbfounded at the sudden recovery, followed by such an extreme technique igniting. He stared wide-eyed at the sight of his friend standing. He was speechless until Kurakuren walked up to him and patted his cheek. He looked at his friend, talking to him, "Hey, anybody home?" Kekeya shook his head, shaking off the confusion. He stood and smiled. It had a look of cockyness behind it. "Glad you're up, you lazy knuckle-head." Kekeya remembered is friend's question. "The mission. I'm gonna need your help. And although it pains me to say, Kurohi's and Kokugen's. Everyone's." Kekeya repositioned on his crutches, helping him balance.

[Kurakuren Shima]

"I'm fine with going but where exactly is this mission?" Kurakuren asked. He thought of many places Kekeya would asked for help to go but the one he least expected was that one place. "Sound Village" Kekeya said. Kurakuren's smile faded for an instant he remembered what that person took from him and Kekeya... And Kurakuren was not going to forgive him. "I'll go..." Kurakuren said with a determined face, one that he never uses he became cold everyone could notice that he wasn't the same Kurakuren as always.
