The Devil That You Forgot

The Storm

Azarea felt more then saw the nature energy begin to pool through Daisuke's coils as a soft blue hue began to emit from his skin like saint elmos fire. Ethereal and beautiful in the darkness of the storm as lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The storm as the heavy rain washed over them a symphony of it's own. Then like fragile glass the moment shattered. The glow fading as it was absorbed into the pendent and Daisuke faltered his shoulders holding a fine tremble as he finally spoke of what was truly blocking his progress. Trouble with meditation after all was more often then not a symptom in any shinobi.

"Do you regret it?" She asks softly though the agony and guilt wrought through Daisuke's chakra was answer enough, but such things needed to be spoken aloud.

"Truly and utterly within the deepest reaches of your heart do you regret the harm your actions brought upon them?" Azarea presses as she steps close boots squelching in the wet mud as she leans forward. One hand coming to rest on Daisuke's shoulder, the other lifting to brush a few wet strands of hair back from his face.

"Because Daisuke I think Kota has long sense forgiven you. The one you truly need to forgive now is yourself." She murmurs playfully flicking said forehead a smile to her voice more heard then seen by the blind shinobi. "You cannot move forward or grow strong enough to protect Kota if you're always living in the past." Advise Riku had once passed on to her and now advise Azarea would pass on in turn.

"Let go and try again." She instructs as the red haired woman once more releases him to step back.

"Be in the moment Diasuke. Be the lightning, wind, and rain. What does a storm care of the past."

Joō no Taikanshiki no Regaria [Queen's Coronation Regalia]
A mutated variant of the Aburame clans Yūdai no Omorejō ["Bewildering Grandeur of the Alpha"] resulting from the subsequent poisoning of Azarea's former Yūdai no Omorejō hive to prevent potential hijutsu theft. While the Joō no Taikanshiki no Regaria lacks the Yūdai no Omorejō size instead Azarea's hive has maintained the ability to produce alpha pheromones and commanding vibrations. Evolving instead to hyperspecialize in these two aspects allowing them to produce pheramones and vibrations strong enough to be detected by human hearing and sense of smell.

Reigning Chakra Control
Fine tuning her chakra control to a razor's edge Azarea is capable of performing delicate techniques with minimal to no wastage of chakra. Allowing her to conserve her reserves in prolonged combat and managed more finickity techniques and jutsu.

Kagura Mind's Eye
Born with a natural affinity towards sensing chakra like her Father before her Azarea has trained herself to become a capable sensory shinobi. Unlocking the Kagura's Mind's Eye, and with it, the ability to passively sense chakra signatures in the distance (when using the technique), thus allowing her to not only track, but also memorize a person's chakra signature, even if barely any chakra is being used. Due to her proficiency with this technique, Azarea can currently passively sense chakra up to 500 meters and actively at 2.5 kilometers.

IF YOU ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT CRUSHING ANTS BENEATH YOUR FEET

Azarea's words echoed in the chuunin's mind as he tried to keep himself in the present. They haunted him, just as much as the visuals of the incident did. Of course he regretted it. Kota shouldn't have been involved in the fight at all, and it was the fear he grappled with that got the wolf injusred. He failed the execution of one of the most basic of shinobi techniques, swapping himself with the wolf instead of anything else that could have been around for him to utilize.

"Of course I do.” Daisuke muttered, his voice almost drowned out by the thunder booming above them.

Feeling Azarea's hand against his shoulder, there was a harsh reality to her next words. Something he found himself knowing, but never feeling. If he were ever to move past this, he would need to forgive himself, over anything else. Kota was his spirit bond, the two were tied together, mind, body, and soul. Daisuke could feel Kota's thoughts and emotions, just as much as Kota could feel his own. But there was still fear surrounding the incident. Fear that Kota would not fogive him. Fear that he might do it again. Buckle under pressure, or create a foolish challenge that only drove him further down the path to chaos and self destruction.

He took in a deep breath, feeling the thunder boom through his body, and letting the cooling rain soothe his mind.

"I must not fear,” Daisuke said, the thunder again clapping above them.

" Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.”

Azarea's words rang true, he was more than aware, but it was something he needed not just to learn, but to feel. He needed to tune himself with the world, become one with the present, and let go of the pain and suffering that were all birthed from a single moment of hesitation. Of fear.

"I will face my fear,” The chuunin said, his eyes closing as he began to enter an eerie calm. His body began to glow faintly, and he felt the world starting to gently tug at him, like a gravitational smoke forming around hin.

"I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.”

Daisuke's eyes opened, and blazed alight with chakra, the nature energy recharging his body, rejuvinating him, as he felt all of his insecurities begin to crumble. He became one with the world around him.

"Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

The rain and thunder above seemed to resonate with Daisuke's feelings, and all around the two moved from a subtle shift into a powerful storm. Lightning raged, thunder echoing as Daisuke stood, his body shifting as the nature energy balanced and harmonized with him. Wind whipped around them as the rain became torrential, the violence of the world tuning itself to Daisuke. His breath became deeper, more jagged, and his eyes roared with vigor. His hair grew, darkening in color, as his ears soon shifted and matched that of a wolf. His arms bulked, fur growing over his shoulders, chest, and forarms, while his fingers grew claws. His legs bent, his feet extending into a much more canine shape, while his teeth grew like knives.

Despite managing to balance the energy within himself, there was far too much chaos on both sides of the scale. The storm around them grew vicious, just as Daisuke felt within himself. He needed to find a calm, he needed to truly balance himself in all aspects, mind, body, and spirit. There was so much power raging within him, a far greater sense than what he felt after Don'yokuna injected him with his natural chakra. He needed to control it, to control himself. His emotions still ran wild within him, and the world around the two cloud ninja made clear that the battle over fear, over failure, over insecurities was in full swing.

Stronger Than Yourself

The storm howled around them fed by nature chakra as the wind whipped the crimson locks of Azarea's hair and rain pelted her skin like cold stinging needles. The gale was too loud now for her words to be heard, but she hoped her presence at least was able to be felt as the woman stood resolute shoulders bunched against the storm as she waited and watched. This fight now was Daisuke's and all she could do was be there, a solid pillar of reassurance against the internal war he waged. The changes that came over him were startling as she watched through damp lashes as the shinobi began to look more and more wolf then man. She'd heard stories in the past of people being caught between and losing their minds to nature chakra. That wouldn't happen to Daisuke right?

It wouldn't.

It couldn't.

The Kunoichi forcing her worry down with a grim sort of resolve. If it came to that she didn't know what to do, but she'd do what she must. Daisuke though was a strong man, the next in line for Raikage. He could and would succeed in this. "Come on Daisuke... you're stronger than this." Azarea murmurs soft and low under her breath even as the frost began to creep in with the cold winds turning rain to slush and ice and nature itself raged around them in the eye of the storm. It was anyone's guess how long the two of them would be able to hold out against the elements. Sooner or later someone would notice though and come looking, but the risk of them disturbing Daisuke's focus was too great for Azarea to hope for such a circumstance. The storm thankfully covering the worst of the chaos.
