"So umph... are you okay?" Aotsuki asked, feeling quite helpless, embarrassed, his cheeks turning slightly red, as a cute girl lays on top of him.
"Ahhh... yes, I'm okay." Sakuya said so in a quiet voice, as she turns her head to the side, avoiding physical eye contact with Aotsuki. But her ears noticeably turned bright pink, and is almost twitching.
Aotsuki smiled, as he politely asked, "Is it possible, but can you please get off my body?"
Sakuya Ifune tries to get up, but she had sprained her ankle, and can't help it but released out a hurtful cry.
"Aaaahhh..."
Her weak soft cry, that resembles a helpless chick, calling out to its parent.
It manages to caught the attention of Hideo and the others, but Hideo smirks, snickering in enjoyment, watching the misery of Aotsuki, his friend.
Sakuya then backs off, giving Aotsuki some leans way, so that he could get up.
Aotsuki Bakohata slowly gets up, standing firmly on his two feet, as he lightly dust off the dirt from his clothes.
He took one last glance at Sakuya Ifune, seeing her in an awful state, he asked out of concern. "Are you still able to walk by yourself. Can you managed to get to the infirmary by yourself..."
Sakuya didn't immediately replied, but instead attempted to get up. Her twisted ankle caused her intense agony, as she falls right back down again.
Hidden behind her meekly dark reddish brown hair, her cherry pink eyes shimmers, becoming watery, as tears start to flow out relentlessly.
Aotsuki Bakohata saw this scene, and couldn't hold back his feelings of empathy, sympathising with the poor girl.
Aotsuki made up the decision, on the spot, as he thought, 'I sure hope that I don't regret this later on... sighs."
He bends down on his knees, facing the other direction, with his arms ready in a carrying position.
Aotsuki lightly said so in a cold tone, that lacks enthusiasm, shouldering the burden of responsibility as well. "Hop on! I will carry you to the infirmary to see the nurse."
Sakuya was quite hesitant, and reluctant to follow the instructions of a mere stranger, who she only just recently met, but he did intervene together with his pals to save her life.
She could at least place her trust in him. She wanted to believe in his words, but her experience with boys told her otherwise. The bullying she went through, whilst growing up, the trauma it caused. It gave her conflicting thoughts.
She muster up the courage, and decided to trust one's again. Sakuya lightly gets on to Aotsuki, giving her a piggyback rude, as she lightly placed her head on top of his back.
Sakuya Ifune could hear Aotsuki Bakohata soothing heartbeat, right next to her ear, like a rocking lullaby she begins to felt sleepy.
Aotsuki immediately thought, as he felt the weight of Sakuya Ifune, placed on top of his hand. 'She is surprisingly light, or is it just me that has gotten stronger.'

Talking about a girl's weight is a taboo subject, especially when it comes to their age, or beauty, unless you want to face their wrath.
Aotsuki piggyback carrying the injured Sakuya Ifune on his back, walking steadily, towards the group.
"Sorry guys! I've got something to do. There is a certain someone that needs to be sent to the infirmary." Aotsuki said so, seemingly apologetic, as he looks over towards Hosuchi Bakohata.
"I'm sorry for the late introduction. I'm Aotsuki Bakohata by the way."
Hosuchi's eye shimmer, revealing a green tint, as he said. "I've noticed that you share the same family name as I; the Bakohata Clan is one of the four major families residing in Ugiri-meru Village. So are you a part of the main family or branch family..."
Aotsuki was quite confused, revealing an apparently puzzled look, which further solidified Hosuchi's belief. Aotsuki repeated the same words over and over again, trying to gauge their meaning.
"The main family, and the branch family, huh?"
Hosuchi smirks, revealing a sense of excitement, as he thought. 'So the kid doesn't know, despite awakening such a powerful Konchu Emperor's Eyes, which only individuals of the main household should have... I can't wait until it all unfolds.'
The Bakohata Clan is one of the four major clans of Ugiri-meru, as well as possessing the most best scouting abilities in the whole village.
The ability to control and manipulate insects like they were an extension of their bodies.
All members of the family are born into the Bakohata Clan, possessing the Konchu eye, some with different variations and patterns, the Kekkei Genkai that gives them extended 180 degrees field of vision, with a fast moving kinetic percievability, better than the average eye can track.
The Bakohata Clan is separated into two parts: the main household (sōke), and the branch family (bunke).
A system of hierarchy that would allow the gifted ones to prosper, with amazing talents, and many benefits. It's intended goal was to pass on the dominant superior genes to the next in line, their Kekkei Genkai to the next generation, therefore preserving the strength and prosperity of the clans.
Aotsuki Bakohata didn't know this, but he had already met with the necessary requirements to join the main household. As he innately possesses the Konchu Emperor's Eyes, heart variant, one of the three ancestral inheritance of the Konchu Emperor. The ancestral founder of the Bakohata Clan.
Hosuchi Bakohata reassures him, as he pats him on the shoulder. "There is nothing for you to worry about, whether you are a part of main household or branch. It doesn't matter... at the end of the day, you are still my junior brother."
"I see... well see ya later, Hosuchi-san I've gotta go." Aotsuki smiled, feeling a bit happy.
"We will accompany him as well see ya." Hideo said, as he and Furuta quickly followed Aotsuki Bakohata right behind.
"Okay then, but expect for some people from the Bakohata Clan to come and collect you later on. It's important..." Hosuchi said so, before he turns away, and walks off smiling.
'This will be interesting...'
From time to time, Aotsuki felt his sore right arm acting up, as it stings a bit, but the pain is quite negligible. So he ignores it all.
A warmth sensation then permeates his body, as the lingering aura of light blue coloured chakra, differentiating from the normal blue coloured chalkra, congregates around inside his body.
It releases off a semi dispersal moisture, that soaks into his clothes, changing the surrounding temperature, as it rapidly gathers around the wounded region of Aotsuki's arm.
His rate of healing is skyrocketed, now taking less amount of time that is needed to recover from his wounds.
In the field of Medical Ninjutsu, the Lux (Light) element is said to better than the Aqua (water) element due to its instantaneous regeneration effect.
The light element is able to quickly close wound, invoked the neccessary requirements for forced cellular regeneration, but that in itself is very limited. As the light element is not neccessary omnipotent. It can reached a certain point in time, where their cells reached their limits, exhausting the patients vitality, and cause unnecessary cell degeneration.
Whilst, comparing this to the water element, moisture technique, it holds a better advantage.
As proper hydration is very essential in helping your body grow, and recover from over working stress. It can imbue the user with nature's vitality and nutrients, encouraging cellular regeneration, over time, without denaturing the host cells.
Aotsuki Bakohata has been doing this, subconsciously, without even knowing it.
