| Uta was screaming in terror and pain as she was dragged onto the medical gurney brought to her in this underground fighting arena. She was scared. She had little idea where she was, no idea what had happened. As she looked around, she recognized some of the faces. So she had to assume that this was still part of the exams. She was still underground, but this wasn't the same room as before. Her brain was rushing to try and process everything, but her brain was already working fairly hard on keeping her alive as she dealt with the incredible burns across her body. Her mind was overwhelmed, so as she tried to look around for answers, all she'd actually see was black.
Her eyes opened again not to the underground, but to a hospital room. She could hear a beeping noise at regular intervals. She'd look down at herself again, this time she wouldn't see the burns. Her body was wrapped in bandages. Some of them still white, most of them covered in sweat, blood, and whatever other fluids her wounds produced. As she tried to steady her breathing, she could feel a tight pain in her chest. She remembered the broken bones she had felt before. She could see a thick cast on either leg, and on her right arm as well. As she continued to look around the room, she saw a nurse with her back turned to the girl. Uta went to speak. Her voice was weak, but she managed to squeak out the word 'nurse'. The woman turned with an expression of shock and relief, and rushed to the girls bedside to confirm what she had heard. Seeing the girl's eyes clearly open, watching her. She smiled wide and began to rush out the door of the room. "Doctor! Doctor come quick, she's waking up!?" Uta heard her yelling as she rushed down the hall. Uta could barely keep her eyes open. They continued to want to drift closed. And as she heard the nurse getting back towards the room, all went black once again.
When Uta's eyes opened again, it was much darker. Had she fallen back asleep? It was a bit late to wake up, but the girl figured she hadn't much to do. She still felt weak. This time, she couldn't even push out any words. She tried to call for a nurse again, but she couldn't force herself to make the words, instead just devolving into a coughing fit. It was then that she heard voices. She couldn't see them, as she turned to face them she saw only a medical curtain, separating her bed from the rest of the room.
"I just don't know what to do anymore," Uta heard the voice say. It was to far away to hear clearly. She was getting bits and pieces, not the whole thing. The voice felt so familiar. "we knew.... She's a shinobi now, I know that, but..." Was that... no. Uta shook her head. They wouldn't have come to see her. They never had before. But as she tried to listen closer, the world faded to black again.
It was morning the next time she woke up. Early morning. Was it the morning of the night she had just seen? The girl sure hoped so. But as she woke up this time, it felt different. She was still in pain, she was still weak, but when she tried to sit up this time, she could. It hurt like hell, and she let out a yelp of pain. She devolved into coughing as the noise escaped her throat, which only brought more pain, which brought more involuntary groans and squeaks, which brought more coughing. But... she wasn't falling back asleep. She wasn't as deathly tired as she had felt the past times she woke. She continued to look around, when certainly her curtain swung open. It was the same nurse as before, and she was beaming. "you're not gonna fall asleep on me again now are you? You sound better this time, so I'm hoping so." Both of them were surprised to hear a large laugh, as another woman walked into frame. A doctor of some sort, holding a clipboard. "Now now Hina, can't blame her too much for that. I'm just happy to see you up. It's been a touchy week."
Uta quickly asked what they meant. And the doctor began to explain to her what had happened. After the shock of the exam, Uta had slipped into a coma. She had woke up for a few moments the day after she had been brought here, and then was out again for about 5 days, which is where she found herself now. Uta realized that no one must have seen her awake that night. Had she even been awake? Maybe that was just some sort of coma dream. The doctor had a lot of questions for her, making sure she wasn't worse than they had imagined. They also explained the bandages. Over sixty percent of her body had been covered by the flames. They had done what they could, but for now they just had to let her body do its own healing.
"I just... I don't remember the fight," Uta stated. The doctor looked sad, but he nodded his head before saying "The brain can also suffer memory loss when confronting a traumatic experience. As I understand it, this was your first major combat injury. I wouldn't worry too much, your memory should come back in a couple of days."
Uta guessed that made sense. She didn't feel in the right place to question what the doctor said. "Now that you're up though, we should inform your visitors. I know she'd want to be here as soon as possible now that you're talking again."
Had it not been a dream after all? Was... was she really here to see her daughter?
