Long Since Past - Hybarias (Hybris/Xarias) + Kidate Only!

"I do, and I always have. I sold my body to four demons to live on in the hopes of finding you once again. I have walked a path most humans would scorn me for, for you. I love you with all of my heart." He said in a tone of seriousness someone would not have thought possible of the Kidate from twelve years ago. His throat constricted, and his ears twitched. He looked down at his white, plated thighs and sighed. I should have found her faster... He thought to himself angrily. In his own defense, it had taken years to recover to an almost-human mental state. Though, this didn't stop him from mentally kicking the shit out of himself for being so slow. Kage beat him to her, and yet it didn't matter. As long as he makes her happy... He continued to tell himself.

Hybris couldnt even speak. She was speechless. Her hands were trembling. She hugged him tightly.

"Kidate.. I .. I love you too.. But we cant be together..." She says, beginning to cry. .. I cant hurt you.." She pleads. Kidate was obviously confused at what she meant by that. What was really happening, was Hybris was pleading to Xarias and Valkyrie. Her demon form, and her Bijuu. As she continued, her grip got tighter. "Im sorry.. I just cant.. Risk hurting you." Tears were streaming down her face by now, and her grip was probably as tight as the hardest vicegrip. Her body shocked and purged in vibration, transferring the shivering persona to Kidate.

"I've died once, you think I can go through much more pain?" Kidate replied, choosing to ignore his confusion for the moment. He embraced her with equal force, feeling her powerful arms constricting around his back. Looking down over her shoulder, he gazed at the grassy field. Oddly enough, he could pick out exactly where they had been laying. He saw in his mind, the water bottles, her biting his ear. He felt the same sense of humble embarrassment at her questions then that he did just a few moments ago when she played with his ears. However, now he felt more confident. He knew how he felt, and he knew how to act.

My turn...

Hybris released her grip, and backed up on her seat; placing her hands on his shoulder.

"I mean if Xarias gets a hold of you, she will hurt you. Bad. Even if you happen to think you can get away with it, she is a demon as well. A prophecy no less." She sniffled, wiping her eyes. "I cant lose you again..." She sighs, burrying her face in his chest. She held him close. ".. I love you.." She closed her eyes and heard the heartbeat of his chest. It vibrated her head, making her jump each time.

"I have survived twelve years on my own, I think I can handle myself well enough to get away from a demon." Kidate protested, as she buried her head in his chest. He listened to his own heart beat, as it became more calm and steady since he got over the shock of seeing his childhood love once more. He slowly began matching his breathing with hers, a habit of his. Reaching up, he stroked her hair lightly and smiled down on her. "I won't leave. I'm stronger than that." He reassured her, as the voice reappeared in his head. I wasn't kidding.. It said, and Kidate began to feel himself slipping into the back of his mind. Slipping was the wrong verb, he was being dragged. Mentally kicking Warugi in the face, he took control once more. Back. Off.

Hybris, still buried in his chest; looked up at him with hope. She tightened her grip, her eyes watering from her recent crying. She was still trembling. Why? ".. You will kill him just like you killed Kagerichi. He will find out, and you will be lost again!" A voice called from inside her head, although it seemed to boom with pressure; making her jolt and fall out of the seat. "You cannot fight me, Hybris! I am you! You! YOU!" She screamed with her dead voice, demonic. Pure evil. "No! I am not you! I AM NOT A MONSTER! I .. AH!.. Ahh!!" Hybris shouted, falling to the ground in despair. She was being tortured by Xarias, and even worse - Valkyrie. ".. You will fall! Just like your pathetic father! His attempt to save you was futile! Your WEAK!" He taunted. She gripped her head, punching herself over and over. "STOP! NO! I AM NOT YOU! YOU ARE EVIL!" She screams loudly, nearby birds flew out of trees, too scared to remain in that area. Hybris' eyes began to shift in color, turning into a red color; forming into the 1 tomoe Sharingan, then 2.. Then 3.. And then she blinks once, closing her eyes and lifting her arm high into the air; a bone exposed. Sharp as the keenest razor ever created.

"If you wont stop! ILL MAKE YOU STOP!" She screams, preparing to lunge the bone deep into her chest. She knew this would kill her, which is why she did it.

Kidate reached out to grab Hybris's hand, his eyes brimming with tears. Then, suddenly, his eyes seemed to dry up and glaze over. The next second, they flashed a brilliant violet. The violet started flashing in the pupil, and then expanded until everything that had once been his pupil and iris were now a glowing violet. The eyes held a maternal, caring gaze to them, which contradicted the new personality and body language that came with them. His lips curled into a demonic grin and his laughter filled the area as he pulled his hand back and watched the bone come down on her chest. Warugi, the one now in control, had no plans to stop her.

"I would rather smash you myself, but this works too." Warugi commented between fits of maniacal laughter.

Hybris throws the bone downward, and her bone pierces her chest. Blood is nowhere to be found though. Instead, the girl falls to the ground and lays lifeless. Suddenly, her body begins to glow. Hybris shifted her appearance, unleashing a large glowing aura upon the area - Lighting up the entire environment. The akatsuki robe flew into the clearing, her skin began to shift and unleash pieces of demonic flesh which turned tannish. Her entire body changed. Her armor; changed as well. Her black plate bra showed amongst most, aswell as the armor on her waist. The black plate shined with death, seeming to replicate hells very own eye, blinking. She unleashed her large black wings, which let out a roar of their own, screaming. She lifted herself into the air with a roar of the demon which was kept sealed inside of her. Valkyrie's sound barrier smashing warcry. She looked upon him with the blindfold that covered her unseen eyes. A new chakra blazed from her body. A dark one. This form was definitely ancient. A power unseen by the human race until now. A wave of Kuraiflames, black flames, unleashed from the nine hells themselves turned the pure air, corrupted. Trees seemed to hunch over in pain from the wave of unexperienced power. She landed, stretching her wings widely. They ranged into a good 35 feet. Her body was absolutely perfect. Perfect curves. No scars, flaws, cuts. Nothing.

Xarias simply looked at Kidate and nodded. "So you're a demon too. How fortunate for me.." She begins to walk off in dreadful happiness, grinning at the death of Hybris. Now that Xarias had all of Hybris' abilities, there was no longer a need for her anyway. "Suffer well, Xarias.."" Valkyrie called within her head. Was he.. Blessing her? Why. "Why are you blessing me, Valkyrie.." She asked him, still walking off into the distance "Because, sister. You have finally proved yourself worthy of a deathly, but assured existence. You.. Are beyond powerful now; and surely capable of utter destruction. That was my very purpose.. Indeed it is one fucking unfortune to only be capable of inhabiting your mind, but I am glad it is yours among others.." His voice was scary, but it was.. True. Sinister she mumbles to herself. "Dont tell me your getting soft on me, Valkyrie.." She stated it laughingly. "Hell no. Believe you, me; I still have a want to destroy and exterminate this piece of shit all of these humans call a planet!" He yells, making Xarias laugh inside. She just continues walking. Harmony. At last..

Warugi sighed as the woman left, his hand clenched into a loose fist and crimson metal forming around it. The metal worked itself, being almost a liquid, into the shape of a long metal staff. From there, at the end farthest from Warugi, the metal began to expand and bubble. Two bubbles on either side of the staff formed, taking on the shapes of two skulls connected to each other by the backs. They eye sockets glowed with the same, maternal, warm, violet gaze that Warugi's eyes held. Frustrated that he didn't get a fight, he slammed the hammer upon the ground. The resulting shock wave was similar to what would happen if someone lifted an apartment building several feet off of the ground and sent it hurtling back down to its original place on the surface. The ground shattered, being pushed outward in a wave that one would think only possible in a comical cartoon. Grass and dirt flew everywhere, trees were thrown from their homes and the roots torn from the ground, the bench where he had been sitting flew off into the, now-dark, sky and landed god knows where. Warugi examined what he had done and grunted. The hammer seemed to melt, reversing time and forming back into the small amount of metal liquid that had first appeared. Then it retreated into his sleeve and was not seen again.

Warugi continued to walk away, in the opposite direction as the woman, toward the Cloud Village. He had been discussing this with Kidate, and he was a man of his word. Kidate wanted to return to the Cloud if anything should happen to Hybris, there he would seek a new purpose in life. Though Warugi hated it, he would have to deal with it. Unlike the others, Warugi knew exactly what Kidate would do when he got to the Cloud. Someone in that blasted village would have the power to seal them temporarily, and they would if Kidate was able to gain enough public trust in the village. Stalking into the shadows, he disappeared in a flash of violet light, his claw meeting the neck of a spying chuunin as he did so. While in the process of using the shunshin jutsu, he tore the chuunin's head from his shoulder and threw it away. It would land on a wooden spike that marked the border to the fire country and one of its bordering lands.
