Ino couldn't stop the skip of her heart when she was suddenly being hauled in his arms nor the nearly inaudible gasp. Cute boy carrying her like he's a hero? She didn't mind it even if she was headstrong and stubborn and still wanted to walk herself.

This was still acceptable.

He was right. There weren't many people in her world either that could use all of the elements like he had. It was a special gift. In his arms, Ino smiled as well but it lacked the same embarrassment his held -- it was only friendly.

"Of course you're better suited to your home," she replied. "But while you're here, you're doing good by helping these people. We do need someone like you."

The ride was over too soon for her (especially because pressure was gone from her leg) but she quickly moved into medic mode and surveyed the limb; it was bruised and battered and definitely swollen. She tested the pain by pressing down on different points and gritted her teeth when a certain spot nearly made her cry out.

Then she got to work and began healing herself, a large orb of light booming as she concentrated. She was silent, brow sweating, as she worked and leaned over so blonde hair fell over her shoulder.
