Zyrag . . .

Zyrag woke up in a hospital bed. He was still slightly dazed but could still make out the figure next to him. "So... did it hit?"

-he immediately lied-
"Yeah, you hit me" -he said with a smile-

"Good..." he said sitting up quickly, but the blood flowed out of his head making his vision go lack for a couple seconds, he laid back down.

"stay down zyrag you took a real beating, dont worry you'll be taken care of here"
-he said with a comforting smile as he gently laid a hand on the boys shoulder-
"So how about some lunch"

At the words stay down Zyrag gave him a look () and sat up again, this time more carefully. "Do I look weak to you?" And then at the mention of food he realized he was hungry and accepted.

"No but you do need your rest think of this as the leader of this village ordering you to stay down so he wont get his ass chewed out when you die because you wouldnt stay down" -he said as he called in some food-

"..." Zyrag looked down in thought, but it could have looked like shame. Finally after a while he sighed and said "Fine..."

-he smirked at him knowingly-
"relax my friend i suppose you can sit up back I want your back against the wall for support"
-he said as a fairly large tray of food came-
(you decide whats on it)

Zyrag did as he said, and his eyes lit up as he saw a large bowl of Ramen and a tall glass of water. "Ramen..." He started as he began to eat.

-he laughed as he watched the boy eat- "If you need anything the nurse will see to you, I'm gonna go for a walk come and find me around the village, my home, or the office as soon as you've recovered"
-he smiled at the boy and walked out the door and down the hall-

"He's similar to Kimimaro..." He thought as he watched him leave, and finished his Ramen washed down with the water.

A day later Zyrag was feeling a lot better, and so, he went to the Kage's office to find him.
