Arc 2: Chapter 1: New Beginnings - Izalith
Amiko was quick to reassure Hayate, maybe a little to quick in all honesty. "Oh, of course your not scaring us. Kyoko just has never met an Aburame before since she didn't go to the academy in Konoha. It takes some getting use to, to think about your swarm..." she wasn't sure how to really put it, in all honesty the concept of a colony of insects living inside someone was creepy and disquieting.
To a medic such as herself it was also an interesting premise, a symbiotic relationship that must influence all aspects of the body. She tried not to think about the idea of little bucks crawling around in tunnels throughout his skin. She'd never seen the actual tunnels, in fact her clan knew next to nothing about Aburame outside of a few theoretical writings that she'd more heard of then actual read.
She turned her attention back to her other squad-mate and gave a slight sigh. "Its a complex topic, I suppose the simplest way of putting it, would be kind of like how our body is made of cells of various types. The Aburame just have a second species that acts kind of like a secondary lymphic system? Wait...do you know what the Lymphic system is? Never mind, its a symbiotic relationship, the bugs eat chakra, and Hayate's body provides it in return for the loyalty of the colony that resides inside him. Hayate still needs to eat, but the kikaichu inside him feed on his chakra network, or those that he directs them to feed on in combat." She was getting a headache trying to explain all of this. Her clan specialized in being doctors, either civilian or battlefield ones. What she knew about the body, and what your average ninja did were vastly different. If it wasn't taboo, she'd have taken a kunai to herself and pointed things out, its not like it'd have permanently hurt her after all. However she'd been warned a long time ago, not to do demonstrations of her bloodline in public, even if it was the easiest way to explain things.
It was only a few seconds after her rant finished she realized, she was coming off just as weird to her new teammates as well. A faint blush crept onto her neck then took over her face causing her to shrink slightly back into herself, something she tried her best to hide, while feeling like at the same time she was curling up into a ball in embarrassment.
