Silent Grass

“How are you doing?” Tsukiakara asked getting some sand in his mouth in the process.

"Good now." Nagiko said.

“This storm is strong do you think you can keep going?” Tsukiakara asked even though he should have been asking himself that. The sand was getting to him and it was getting harder and harder to move.

"Maybe we should stop for today you could use that ice jutsu to protect us." Nagiko said.

"Good idea." He said using the jutsu to create an ice dome. After doing so he fell flat down into the sand.

Nagiko ran over to his ally and said "are you okay if not tell me I'm good at finding herbs to heal people." Nagiko said getting out a bag that no ones seen yet full of herbs.

"No, I'm just tired. I used up a lot of energy." He said as he just laid there to tired to get up.

"Hmmm.... I think I have something for that." Nagiko said as he dug through the bag then he pulled out a green leaf and said "aha here eat this it'll give you some of your strength back." Nagiko said smiling.

"I got strength pills. What I need is something that will get me to sleep." He said as that was all he really needed.

"Hmmm.... I think I have that to." He began to dig around in his bag of herbs again and said "aha here it is but I'll have to give you the right amount so just hold on." Nagiko said and measured and then tore it in half and handed Tsukiakara the herb and said "eat this it'll give you sleep." Nagiko said.

"Thanks" He said as he ate it. "Blah, it tastes bad." He said. He then laid down. "Night" He then quickly went to sleep.

" Night I'm going to bed to." Nagiko said and put his bag back and laid down and went to sleep.

Tsukiakara was so tired he didn’t bother get a sleeping bag out. He just laid there snoring. He couldn’t wait till he can get out of this desert, finish the mission, and get back to his home back in the Land of Rivers.

The next morning.
Nagiko was now up early and started to check to see if Tsukiakara's pulse was messed up from the herb from last night if he accidently gave him too much.

His heart beat was slightly slower than normal but other than that Tsukiakara was just fine. He was still sleeping so he didn’t know what was happening around him.

Nagiko sighed they had to leave soon. Nagiko then thought ' wonder if I could use a herb to wake hime up. '

Well whatever Nagiko was planning to do Tsukiakara could do nothing about it. He laid there helpless still sleeping.

Nagiko started digging through his herb storages and found another green herb but this one was sweet smelling almost like candy.

*skip turn (just give him the herb already XD)*

Nagiko then gave Tsukiakara the herb and made him chew it and then made him swallow it.

Tsukiakara woke up, strething and yawning while he was at it. "That was the best sleep I ever got" He said.

"It was the herb it puts you in a deep sleep some people can't take it and go into a coma so when I woke up I began checking to see if you didn't go into a coma." Nagiko said.

"A coma. You mean you gave me something that could knock me out for good?" He said kind of worried.

"Only because I figured someone as strong as you could take it and that's only if you don't have the opposing herb to counter the effects if they don't wake up which in my case I have a herb for everything so no need to worry when I tell you to eat something okay." Nagiko smiled reasurringly.

Tsukiakara wasn’t completely assured but that was beside the point. They had better get moving again. He released the Ice shield and stood up ready to get back going.
