Naka then remembered that the two were still in bathing suits. 'No wonder she's cold...' 'I'll get it.' Some black chakra drifted off around the house, and brought two towels with it. The chakra on Phoenix began to heat up along with healing.

A small groan, not of pain escaped Phoenix and she shifted at the warmth, coughing and uttering something incoherently. It was obvious she was sensitive, and definitely never had been taken care of before. Her arm fell away from Naka's absently and she blinked slowly to herself.

Naka had wrapped a towel around herself and was holding Phoenix's. She was debating with herself if she should give it to her. But what if Phoenix was still in pain? But she was cold... But what about the pain?! As she did this, the black chakra doubled its rate and quickly continued to disperse the pain from Phoenix's body.

Phoenix shivered, mumbling at the chakra, her hand moved limply, nudging Naka's arm with the held towel over her shoulder. If it did hurt, she didn't show it anymore, she just coughed, her forehead still on Naka's shoulder as she attempted to sit up, in a type of daze though as the pain outlet seemed to release her from a type of lock from before. Her limit of pain was excruciatingly high to be truthful, just once that gray chakra from before would come into contact, it would send every injury she had gotten into a flurry of shocking pain.

Naka gently placed the towel around the older kunoichi's shoulders. Then she very gently hugged her, sending her chakra to help the black. "Does it still hurt, Phoenix-san?" She smiled, showing both worry that she might not be ok, and relief that she wasn't in too much pain.

Phoenix shivered once and calmed again, sighing a bit and she shifted to glance at Naka slowly. Her face softened at her look and she looked down, faintly holding one of her arms. "Not as bad...n-normal now...as...what I feel...everyday..." She said softly, trying to shake off her dizzy feeling and actually, for whatever reason, holding down a pink tint to her cheeks at the black chakra helping.

"Good." Naka smiled again and shook her wet hair. "We should get changed - it'll get cold if we stay in swimsuits." She nudged Phoenix lightly, still hugging her. The black chakra vibrated briefly when it felt blood rush to Phoenix's cheeks, as if it were laughing.

Phoenix nodded a bit and shifted at the nudge, another cough escaping before she muttered again at the chakra, ignoring the vibrate as she slowly stood, not as dizzy but still swaying tiredly. She could oddly catch emotions from just chakra really, almost hearing the laugh in a sense. She held Naka's shoulder lightly, though loosened her hold with a murmur. "Have...some clothes you can wear..." She uttered quietly

"Ah, okay." Naka supported Phoenix, laying her hand behind her back, barely touching. The black chakra saw that its work was done and swooped back into Naka. She slapped the back of her neck. "Dang it, I have goosebumps..."

Phoenix simply shivered softly at the vague touch and shifted a bit, moving with her into her back room. The bed slightly ruffled from where they had slept. She glanced to Naka at the slap, unable to help a small smile at the chakra and she shook her head, sighing as she moved a hand around to a small door next to them. Her movements were absentminded, thoughtful almost and she glanced to Naka. "I...only have.....outfits...similar to...my kimono type...do you mind those?" She asked quietly.

"Kimono? Okay, sure. But, ah...I don't know how to put one on." Naka laughed sheepishly and scratched the back of her head. Many a time, she had worn hakama, but never did she try Kimono, yukata or furisode. It just looked a bit too complicated for her to bother, and it would be easier if she just put on a hakama. And besides, she only owned one furisode for special occasions, and it was Goru who helped her put it on.

Phoenix just shook her head and coughed softly, straightening a bit with a quiver as she sifted through a dozen or so of the outfits. She had several of the furisodes behind more comfortable appearing kimono's. At a vague idea, she remembered that she had a small hakama that she had grown out of. She slowly leaned into the closet, keeping her back from straining with a shift of her hips and she pulled out quite a beautiful one, black and silver and held it out to her, weakly shifting to lean against the door frame so she could put it on.

Naka smiled and took the piece of clothing gratefully. "Thanks, Phoenix-san!" She stripped off the wet bathing suit and quickly put on the hakama, bringing the hem up to her almost non-existant bust line. It fit perfectly, though more or less a few inches shorter than it should be.

Phoenix couldn't help a smile as she watched. She nodded to her, rubbing her throat as she looked back to the clothes. She took out a longer, black yukata with a navy blush sash. Ignoring her hesitation just because of the black chakra, she weakly tugged off her own bathing suit. Despite the scars, she had a marble pale body, one would consider flawless without the battle and beating marks. In a fact though, with her chakra building back because of her inhuman side, the scars were lightening, some smaller ones already gone.

"Phoenix-san...I was wondering...how...why did that happen? With your scars?" Naka asked timidly. She fiddled with her fingers. There was constant poking on her rear, and she could feel something strong wrap itself around her waist. Cold, cold, breath came down her neck, giving her goosebumps. Hallucinations. Again. She ignored it as she smiled worryingly at Phoenix. The black chakra was at her feet, circling the two girls and seemed to move as if it were looking around.
