((Think we already did one of these but this is spethial cause it's a Clash and I've had this plot bunny all night. ))
Shinsetsu watched the rain pour from the sky as he laid in the grass, slick from the rain and blood beading off the blades of grass. It had been thinned by the rain drops and now seemed to be nothing more than crimson water.
He closed his eyes and sighed, reveling in the silence he only found this far out of the village.

((Ish he bleeding? D: ))
After a while, the silence was broken by a soft melody. Flute music. It twisted through the air at a barely audible level, winding through the trees and the air, skimming over the grass on the wind with its haunting melodies.

((A little but a lot of it isn't his ;D ))
Shinsetsu's eyes cracked open. His gaze slid over his surroundings to try and find the source of the music.

((Oh ohs! D: ))
The music slipped into a pulsing sort of lullaby. It told a story; a great warrior, riding into battle. He was struck down and fell, his comrades mourning along with the now-dreary music.

Shinsetsu blinked rapidly to try and keep his world in focus and stared down his arm at the coating of blood on his palm.

The music halted abruptly. A moment later, Motaki was kneeling by Shinsetsu's side, her flute already away.
"What happened?" she asked evenly.

"Had a run in with an old friend." Shinsetsu replied, keeping his glassy gaze fixed on his hand.
"It's nothing though, don't worry about it."

Motaki sighed and focused her chakra into her hands, then pressed them to Shinsetsu's chest to heal his wounds.

The gaping wound that sliced through Shinsetsu's back and came nearly an inch from cutting his spine pulled closed.
"Thanks." he muttered

"Hn," Motaki.. well, 'hn'-ed. She finished closing his wounds and pulled her hands back, not even leaving scars. She rested her elbows on her knees and laced her fingers together.

"Hey.....Are you afraid to die?" Shinsetsu asked softly out of the blue after a few moments of silence.

"I used to be," Motaki said evenly, "But after the first few times it wasn't as scary."

Shinsetsu's lips tugged gently into a sad smirk.
"Wow.... Guess you're stronger than me." he muttered, "I used to pray for death. But the few times it came, even though it didn't last long, I was terrified..."

Motaki returned his smirk with a distant one of her own.
"Yeah. Same here," she said quietly. She shifted to a cross-legged position. It was much easier since she was wearing long, black pants instead of a kimono, with something navy blue and similar to a tank top and black and blue arm warmers that hooked over the inside of her hands and stretched almost to her shoulders.
"So why would you want to die?" she asked quietly as she twirled a blade in her fingers. Judging by the holster on her left thigh that she'd pulled it from, she was left-handed.

"It was easier than living as a lab rat." Shinsetsu replied, closing his fist.
