It took only a minute for the antidote to work. The clone relaxed and shivered before looking to Naka, calm with her "Demon Essence" antidote and the clone walked around, showing and checking to prove that the antidote worked.

"Wow!" Naka gasped, bringing her hands to her mouth. It worked! The clone was fine! Naka hugged Phoenix happily, strong enough for it to be a bear hug, but not enough for it to hurt her.

Phoenix blinked in surprise, looking to Naka as she did. She hesitated, looking to the clone then back before she hugged her back softly, as though worried about hurting her with her gentle touch. She couldn't help a small genuine smile, truly happy to help. It would bring back pain later on of who she thought was precious, but she let herself relax for the first time in awhile as the clone smiled at the two.

Naka broke the hug, but left a hand on Phoenix's shoulder. She looked amusingly determined, a glint in her eye. "We did it! The antidote is a success!" Her heart was filled with something light, and this added to her hyperness. "Let's continue with your poison, Phoenix-san!"

Phoenix blinked softly at her statement, softly tilting her head so her waist length brown hair faintly brushed over her shoulder. "Don't you want to go home? It is six in the morning....I can finish, and I'll have several made antidotes for you to keep when you wake up again..." She suggested softly, giving her a soft look. She was happy to help, and even now wanted her to be feeling okay.

(ooc: is there anything else you want to know about Phoenix?)

"Nah, it's fine. I only sleep two hours a day during the afternoon anyway. Hahah!" Naka grinned at Phoenix and looked back at the blue poison. It was amazing how a liquid could cause so much pain that it drives a person to death's hands...

(( ooc: hm...yeah, her connection to demons ^-^ ))

Phoenix smiled a bit again at the grin and looked to her poison. The glass with the poison had turned a sick green and an odd gold. She seemed to notice and frown, picking up the glass and held it up to the light. The clone peeked over Naka's shoulder, its head tilted.

(ooc: can do ^^ lol, hm....I can have an enemy of Phoenix meet Naka in the forest...that should start showing...)

Phoenix's poison had a glass vial that was a strange green and gold color. Naka noticed, and watched as Phoenix examined, a deep frown in her face.

( ooc: yay~ 8D )

Phoenix sighed and set the colored plate down. She rubbed her head and pulled out a vial of red liquid from her kimono, seeming anxious and distressed in using it as she tested it into the antidote. Her writing for putting it as an ingredient, was dragon blood.

A strange smell flooded Naka's nostrils, and she scrunched up her face when Phoenix took out a vial. The liquid inside was red, and the first thing to pop up in her mind was blood, but that was impossible; the smell wasn't right. She kept watching the scene, holding her breath.

Phoenix put it away quickly to keep from bothering Naka. She had only used a drop, but she still seemed anxious as she mixed it in with her antidote. She left the notes on the table as she tested her own poison on another clone again. The body shook and groaned then jerked towards the wall of weapons mindlessly before Phoenix caught it and softly pushed the antidote into its neck, her face stern and hesitant at the same time.

Naka let her breath out as Phoenix took away the blood. She wasn't used to the smell of any type of blood, even if she was a medic-nin. Phoenix tested the poison again, and once more the clone edged closer to the weapons...

Phoenix waited, inwardly half hoping that the special blood wouldn't work. Half of herself did want it to be figured out though as well. The clone quivered then relaxed and stood back up straight after a time, the antidote successful. Phoenix's lip twitched and she sighed as she wrote the ingredients down for her poison's antidote. The herbs, the liquid she called salice, and the last was dragon blood.

"Wow..." Naka inspected the clone, finding no flaws on it. It was just like the original, the antidote having done its job to null the poison. "What strange poison...needing to use dragon blood..." she mused, a bit surprised. Dragon blood was a rare substance, so it would make the antidote hard to concoct.

Phoenix nodded and sighed a bit. She was one of the few people who could get a large amount of dragon blood. She thought a bit and set the two antidotes, half empty on the table. She smiled briefly to Naka then started cleaning up a bit. "Thank you for your help Naka..."
