"Yes, Takeo-sama." Utsuro replied in a defeated tone, settling back into the bed a bit as he tried not to look towards the window.

"Okay, I'm ba--- Takeo-kun, what did you do to him!?" Ayaka gasped, rushing back over to her friend's side upon seeing his expression. "I-bu-whaa?""I'm sorry, Tsutomegi," Ayaka said anxiously. "I got uncomfortable, so I just left, but I shouldn't have, and now you're upset...."

Utsuro shook his head softly, putting on the most sincere fake smile he could muster. "Takeo-sama did nothing wrong, Ayaka-san, please do not be angry at him. "It is nothing, really. I am fine. Forgive me for making you uncomfortable."

"I don't believe you," Ayaka said with a frown, resisting the urge to give her friend's hand a gentle squeeze. "You look upset. Is there anything I can do...?" "It's okay, Aya-chan," came Takeo-kun's voice. "It's just a little misunderstanding. Neither one of us meant or wanted to upset the other. Right, Tsutomegi?"

"R-right. I thought.. since the crow was so large, I feared it might be a Tengu, and since Takeo-sama has been present both times, I was worried it might be after him. Tengu are...very strong and mysterious Yokai." Utsuro tried to explain, mostly to Ayaka-san. For knowing so much about 'old stories', you sure suck at lying.."It is even said they can take human form to trick people."

"Whoa, really!?" Ayaka gasped in amazement. "I never knew they could do that. And you really think they might be after Takeo-kun?" Ayaka frowned in thought for a moment, pondering this problematic new development. At least, though, there was one thing that could be done: after coming to a decision, she stood up, marched to the window, and made a face at the crow. "You stay away from Takeo-kun," she told it through the glass, and promptly closed the blinds. "There. At least he can't see us now."

"I hope not. They are not ones to give up easily." Utsuro replied, though he could not help from smiling softly at Ayaka-san's antics at the window. "That should teach him.."

Ayaka nodded. "It better," she agreed, and sat back down on the edge of the bed. "I don't want them to get Takeo-kun." "Heheh, somehow I doubt that'll be a problem," Takeo said a little nervously. "Anyways, what on earth happened, man? One thing you're fine as can be, next you're in surgery? Just... what?"

"Ah..that...well..." He fidgeted slightly as he came under scrutiny again. "It would seem there was something wrong with me after all. The Hokage said...my chakra system was an absolute mess and needed immediate repair."

Takeo let out a whistle. "Jeeze, that's rough, man. Everything's okay now though, right? I mean, you seem fine and everything..."

"She assures me that I will be fine, but I would not be surprised if something goes wrong." There was a distinct tone of dejection to that particular statement, as Utsuro looked down at his hands. "Hokage-dono said she would show me images of the results of the surgery, but she is a very busy and important person, so I must be patient for now.." You're in a hospital, you already are...What? ..ugh. Never mind.

"And patient you have been," Kaori said warmly, sweeping into the room with a small stack of folders under her arm. "It's good to see you've had some company. I'm sure that helps put you at ease, hm? "Now, then. I'll have to ask you two to wait outside for a few minutes while I talk to Tsutomegi-kun. Shut the door on your way out. You may come back in and resume your visit in a few minutes." She waited until her instructions had been followed out, and then took a seat next to the bed. "Now, Tsutomegi-kun," she began a little more gently. "Are you ready to see the results of the operation? It can wait, if you're not."

"Ah, Hokage-dono...Ohayo.." That was...really rather unsettling. Had she been eavesdropping on them the whole time, waiting? Or was it just some form of ridiculous coincidence? Either way, it was good that she was here, even if it meant Takeo-sama and Ayaka-san had to leave temporarily. "Y-yes..and yes. Respectively, of course. I would very much like to see them."

Kaori nodded. "Very well then. This, as I told you before," she explained as she handed Tsutomegi-kun one image, "is an image of you chakra system from before. The multiple pathways, I came to find out, seem to be nothing more than a clan trait, and either way, they are perfectly normal for you. These knots, however, absolutely had to go. Not only were they hindering your abilities, but they could have become a very real danger to you. "Now, then. I did encounter one knot that would have been disastrous to your well-being had I chosen to try and straighten it out. It is a bit unlike the others, though, in that while I will need time and research to figure out how to get rid of it, it poses no danger to you. You'll see it in this next image, but don't let it frighten you. "Also, parts of the image may look weaker than others. This is just because you aren't fully healed yet, and will change with time, though perhaps it will reinforce to you the reason I sealed your chakra. "That said - " she handed him a second image from the folder " - Here you go. Your new chakra system, as it looked immediately following the operation."

Holding an image in each hand, the dull gray orbs became quite studious as they were looked over comparatively. The second image..it WAS much better...at least, it looked much more similar to what she had shown him of a normal Chakra system. That was a relief, at least. "So...this..is normal for me?" Utsuro inquired softly, tracing the extra lines with his eyes. "And this last knot...it cannot hurt me like the other ones? Why is it different?"
