He ate. That's all that Hitomi truly wanted. Kei ate and allowed her to take care of him in the small way that she could. She had been able to take care of those that she could see the wounds for and stood taking another deep breath. She just hoped that her supplies would last her. She didn't know where she was going nor what would meet them when the elevator would stop. But she'd be ready in any way she could. Covered in water and ashes and smelling like she just left a bonfire, the Hyuga daughter would wait until the elevator stopped almost impatiently.

Coming to a stop, she'd be able to see through the doors of the elevator before they opened and say the body of the girl she'd only seen in passing really. Moving to the front of the elevator, she'd wait for the door to open before walking out with Kinshi and Kei. The voice that Kinshi held now was much more stern and harsh than it had been when it was just the three of them. It only caused Hitomi to understand that things were about to happen that none of them were truly looking forward to. Upon hearing the order, she'd give a nod and look to the two that had been at her side. "Be careful..." She'd say softly to them with her warm smile that reached her eyes as she then turned and looked about in determination to what she had to do. What she was good at for now. Helping and comforting others. She'd once more take out her container of dumplings and split them in half. She didn't know how many people were here and she had to make sure that she had enough for everyone to at least gain a bit of strength back.

In that moment, she'd watch as the two that she had been beside raced down the hall. She'd keep her faith and hope burning strongly that they would make it out alright. Not unharmed, but alive. So long as they were able to breathe, regardless of being conscious or not, they were able to survive through this. It was the same hope and faith that she carried for everyone that was in this mess. With a deep breath, she'd look about and start in on her orders from her Jounin.

She'd look to the girl (Yasu) and scan over her form looking for anything that needed attention. She wasn't the trained Medical Nin that her mother was, but the girl knew how to take care of people to the best of her ability. In this time of danger, she'd take the small amount of time to be gentle and try to ease the pain of another. Hitomi'd take a piece of the broken dumpling and offer it to the white haired girl with the eye patch in hopes that it would help just a bit.

Her eyes then would look to Ryouta. The boy she knew well and never let anyone take care of his wounds. However, she'd already be grabbing more gauze from her kit and looked to him. If he had the wounds on his left side, the Hyuga child would already be looking them over before she'd attempt to clean and bandage up his wounds. She'd offer him half of a pork dumpling. It wasn't much, but it was something at least. "Take it, Ryouta. It'll help a bit. It's not much, but it's all I have for now." She said with a soft smile that he should have known by now. Then once she was finished, she'd wait for the rest of her group before she'd move on down the corridor.

She'd move down the hall and go to the next person that she'd see. Her eyes widened seeing her teammate, Yuki. "Yuki-chan.." She whispered softly while she'd once more take to her work. If she had the wound on her side, Hitomi would begin to clean it up and bandage it. Taking a piece of dumpling from her pouch, she'd offer it with a soft smile. "We'll get out of here. Keep your head up, utsukushī usagi.." She said with a smile as she stood and attempted to help the girl to a more comfortable position. "Rest for the moment. There's much more of a battle ahead of us."

She wouldn't say anything as her hearing started coming back to her and she almost wished that it had stayed away while she could hear the crying. The pain of the others. The fighting. The clashing of metals. It caused her to close her eyes a bit. These were the other Genin that she had trained against. They were putting themselves in danger for the village that they all called home. Slowly, she'd open her eyes and look before them. The Byakugan allowing her to see through the walls and all around her, minus the one blind spot. She felt as if she was trying to take care of everyone and perhaps she was, but it only confirmed in her mind as to why she wanted to follow the footsteps of her gentle mother.
