However, a pause was just that: a momentary break before someone pressed the play button again. Kagerou took that first step into the hall. Now, she believed that it would just be like an invisible wall. Once she'd stepped through, feeling of hesitation would go away. She was wrong. It remained like a film of doubt throughout her lonely walk down the quiet hall. However, she did not let it pause her once more. It was both something expected and something Kagerou was usually resistant to… minus the whole fright fest not too long ago.
Kagerou checked up on things in the hallway. Looking into the closed door rooms was too much a breach of privacy to go through with, but all was quiet and peaceful in the hallway. Some would say too quiet, like no one wanted to even let their noise seep into the halls, but now that she was feeling that same burden of discomfort, Kagerou could totally understand why that would be normal.
When she reached the door to Shadow's and Miki's room without incident, Kagerou had to admit, Her next suspicion was the Mizukage, but she had so little reason to think that way, that it was futile to even think of it. In front of this last door was where Kagerou, loaded with a myriad of fruits and two bags, paused one last time just before she would be seen through the open door of the room. The pause was a sudden one because it had been caused upon seeing a very familiar back. Now, Kagerou never had a very good look at Jack's back, but she could not think of anyone else in Kirigakure who would wear such clothes. she thought, mildly shocked, She looked down the hallway back the way she had come. Nothing. She looked up the other way. Still nothing. She looked back down the way she had come. Nope. Still no Noemi or Kumotake.
It looked like Kagerou would have to go in alone. Except, she didn't. Just like how she kept her inexperienced and ill-informed nose out of Noemi's and Kumotake's business, so did Kagerou take a few steps backwards now and turn to rest her back on the wall. The memory of Jack's face as he touched the unconscious Shadow flashed through Kagerou's mind. There was also the severely injured Miki, who he probably had to say something to as part of his responsibilitiies as the Mizukage. Kagerou wasn't sure. She hadn't heard anything, even with how quiet the hallway was. None of those in the room talked particularly loudly and Kagerou had never gotten particularly close, so there were only indiscernible murmurs from voices Kagerou couldn't tell apart. Well, maybe she could if she had tried, but she didn't.
A part of Kagerou was dying to know just what was going on, not just for her own curiosity but because knowledge was power when it came to helping people. That same part had also acted up when Kagerou saw the bathroom drama. However, just like at the bathroom, she tempered and moderated the burning curiosity with calm restraint and the greater desire to do no harm. Well, in this particular case, there was also the sense of duty, of which one part was to not unnecessarily interrupt the Mizukage's business. Kagerou randomly wondered, already grabbing an apple from Takeda's bag, She scrutinized the apple for lack of anything better to do.

• Specialist -The user chooses to specializing in healing medical techniques and gains a great boost to their chakra control in that area. At Chunnin, they gain a -5 chakra reduction to perform techniques in their specialty. at Jounin, -10, at Konin -15 at Sannin -20. To clarify, they they gain a -5 chakra reduction every rank, to a maximum of -20 at sannin. All medical jutsu are still learnable by both sides, but the chakra control only applies to the chosen side.
• Grand Performance - The user can perform both types of arts (ninjutsu and genjutsu) through their performance or instrument, often casting them at the same time (must pay for both techniques). Can perform D rank techniques through instrument at gennin, C at Chunnin, B at jounin, A at Konin, and S at Sannin.
• Learn Medical techniques one (1) post faster.
• Learn ninjutsu (1) post faster.
• Learn genjutsu one (1) post faster.
• D"eye"versity - Through the use of custom techs, Kagerou can swap between the normally limited abilities and techniques for her sharingan, potentially giving her access to all eye abilities and mangekyou techs. She can never have more than the written limits at any one time (e.g. access to all eye abilities but cannot use more than two at a time). In addition to learning the required custom and whatever additional requirements that custom might have, Kagerou needs to fulfill certain conditions for a safe swap. Each Sharingan ability or technique swapped must be retrained and adjusted to, a process that takes twenty [20] posts at first for each Sharingan ability/technique, is reduced by two [2] posts every time the Sharingan ability/technique is safely retrained, and can take a minimum of six [6] posts per Sharingan ability/technique. If necessary, Kagerou can perform a riskier, instant swap on the fly without the readjustment period, but these swaps can only last for up to five [5] posts and disables the Sharingan, which needs to recover from the strain, for twice [x2] the number of posts that the swap lasted for. Techniques learned with the 'To Copy' Sharingan ability, which can be swapped out, are not forgotten but must be retrained every time Kagerou safely swaps to the 'To Copy' ability. Instant swaps to the 'To Copy' ability give Kagerou all of her copied techniques without needing to retrain them. For every time Kagerou safely swaps to her 'To Copy' ability, her copied techniques take two [2] less posts to retrain, going down to a minimum of one [1] post to retrain each copied technique.
• Miracle Performance - Kagerou can perform healing eiseijutsu through her performance/instrument as if it was ninjutsu of the same rank. When performing healing medical techniques, she can target anyone who can hear her music with the jutsu. I.e. she no longer has to be within touch range of the target to use healing hands.
• The Good Host - 1/2 off all implant chakra requirements.
• Mind and Body - A sound soul resides in a sound mind and a sound body. To ensure the health of all three, Kagerou must master every aspect of medicine. Kagerou gains an additional medical field type. The additional type needs to be trained separately from the first.
• Evergreen Growth - Life always finds a way, especially when it's helped by someone who truly cherishes it. Plants cultivated by Kagerou grow as if the soil they are nourished by is +1 grade higher than it actually is. Unfertilized soil yields crops in 2 rl weeks. Low-grade fertilizer yields crops in 1 week. High-grade fertilizer reaches a new level of fast and yields crops in 4 days. (Post-acceptance note: I just realized that there is an Evergreen religion in this guild. I did not mean for this to be a religious PA in any way. It's just botany. I hope that's not a problem.)
Kumotake accepted the hug and listened wholly to her story. Even if he wanted to he couldn't resist. He was beyond the level of exhaustion that would allow him to resist. It was weird that Noemi was still so keen to touch him after revealing his sore state of scared being. Two girls weren't incredibly turned off or borderline vomitting seeing them. Maybe, they weren't as bad as he thought them to be. Nozomi and Noemi. He sure hoped he didn't get their names confused. But really. Two women have physically consoled him...here he thought he was literal garbage and that this whole socializing thing was going to be hard. As Noemi teared Kumotake resisted his own. Beforehand only getting mere glances of Inka and Kagerou as his level of brooding was too intense to keep track of the constant in and outs. 's**t' his sorry self the way it was, well he didn't want Inka of all people seeing how weak he was...tch. If he was there though and Kagerou. It meant chances were a lot of the conversation had probably spilt out into hall. God was this embarrassing to think about now in hindsight.
There had to be a way. Now that it was all over he didn't want a pity party for him outside. He had to come up with something so that anyone eavesdropping outside would assume he was all right. Which he was far from since his thoughts bounced around wildly. Thusly...caught in a fluster of both wanting to make Noemi feel better and make himself seem less weak Noemi would feel her hands she deemed so hideous gripped by pale ones of Kumotake's as she hiccuped. His body on auto-pilot. What did strong men do to make girls happy? Well according to the manga social research novels he had been reading at the time there was only one thing to do.
"Noemi...as I hold these beautiful hands in my own let me say. I'll give you more than a chance to be friends. I'll give you, no us, a chance to be even more than that." His height towering above hers he'd let go of her hands as his body leant forwards arching above her putting the girl between him and a stall and locking her from fleeing with an arm that propped against the stall door preventing a quick exit. His voice had become breathy only accentuating his exhaustion but in a way would come off as either sensual or just plain creepy. "It doesn't matter that you've stolen my father from me Noemi. As long as you're gentle when it comes to stealing my heart." The line was the epitome of cheese a desperate attempt to sound macho. Kumotake's demeanor had certainly changed after his father left. Trying to put a nail in the coffin that he was over the whole bathroom ordeal.
Then...what he had said finally registered and before the red could flare in his face he turned around freeing Noemi from his towering person and rapidly heading towards the sweatshirt that now smelled like bathroom detergent and sanitized baby wipes. "but yours is probably reserved for your saviour right? We should probably get right to seeing him right away huh. You go on ahead!" Spoken rapidly to dismiss and defuse the words from earlier the sweatshirt was hastily placed over himself as his head turtled out the neck. Letting out a tired sigh that became a frown. He wasn't over it yet. How could he. Give that man another chance? If Noemi could look past her disgust..then why couldn't he? Fine. He would say to himself internally. Although he wasn't going to be taking any first steps.
Most likely Noemi would have been ready to dismiss herself and in the last seconds of her doing so or while she stood idly if she decided to wait for him. "I guess I'll give your sensei a chance... He wanted to go more in depth about why, if she was raised to despise her mother why did she defend her, beneath the shell of hatred they both had...maybe there was room for forgiveness. Still he didn't want to bring this up anymore. It was all just...too..depressing...and if Noemi chose to stay, in the cracked mirror mayhaps she would see to counter this depression he was feeling. Kumotake chose to streak a piece of broken glass across his wrist and rather than wince in pain he produced a silent moan of satisfaction. Certainly not heeding Kagerou's medical advice earlier.

[x] As I struggled to lift Miki onto her bed, I felt an encroaching, dark presence behind me, originating from where Jack sat a moment before. For a moment, the room seemed to darken slightly--I thought maybe a cloud had drifted in front of the sun, but the window shown just as bright as before. I glanced Jack's direction. He was facing the door so his expression was hidden. But the malice that emanated from him was terrifying, at the least, and dangerous, at the most. In the doorway beyond, the red-eyed man had paused, and the Mizukage spoke softly to him. Although I was fairly certain it was meant only for his ears, mine picked up on the conversation. He told the man--Inka--not to compare lives with someone else's.
In response, Inka mentioned he hated Jack for some kind of 'blessing'.
I turned away quickly and pretended I hadn't heard anything as the tension grew between them and continued my failing attempt at helping Miki. It wasn't any of my business. If the two men had problems with each other, I wanted no part in it. Although if I was a jounin of the village, something told me it would be unavoidable.
A moment later, someone picked Miki up from her other side. I looked up to find Jack, his previously scrawny arm thick with muscle that he definitely hadn't shown before. The hell? I wasn't complaining though. With his aid, we were able to lift the pale-haired girl to the comfort of her bed. The Mizukage retreated rather quickly, back to his walking stick, which apparently stood on its own. I was too busy pondering it to notice him hold his hand out until something flashed into existence there, jolting my gaze upward once more.
In his hand he held an item made of what I guessed to be black steel. A look over the hinges at either end made me realize it was a bow before he even opened his mouth. And it was huge. Without the arms it must have been about three feet in length. The actual arms were folded in at the ends to make it slightly more comfortable to carry around. It looked heavy too. I turned my eyes back to Jack as he spoke. I used to be an archer. Some part of me knew that just from looking at the weapon. It had belonged to another that, by Jack's words, I assumed had passed away by some means. So he redesigned it for me to use, in exchange for the things I'd done for the village. What things were those? As he finished and turned his attention to Miki beside me, I took the bow gently from his hands.
It was about as heavy as one might expect from something made of steel. The metal was cool to the touch, but the grip was of a different material that didn't bear the same cold. That was fine; if I was meant to use it, it'd do no good if I couldn't feel my only flesh hand. The only problem was how I was supposed to use it. I still couldn't figure out how to control the mecha--
I looked down at the arm, which now held firmly to the bow as well. Maybe as I calmed down, my muscle memory remembered how to activate it? Chakra strings, right. Used for controlling puppets. I guess that was another thing that I did? Taking a step away from Jack and Miki while they conversed, I held the weapon out in front of me and snapped it, forcing the springs for the arms to release so that it returned to its full length. Total, the thing was longer than I was tall, meaning if I was going to use it, I'd have to brace it. But a pick at one end gave it a stand so I could do just that. Besides that, a wheel at either end aided with drawing it, and the flexibility of it would keep it out of any threat of snapping. I wasn't going to attempt it inside the building of course. I could try it out later once I left the hospital.
I glanced back at Miki as she thanked the two of us, settling down to rest on her long road to recovery... if you could call it that. Maybe once I figured out more about my arm something similar could be made for her? But first I needed to get a grasp of myself before I suggested such a thing. As I turned, though, I caught sight of the long green hair that belonged to Kagerou. She was back? She carried with her what looked to be bags of fruit, seeming intent on bringing them into the room, but she didn't come any further than the doorway. I gave her a small, semi-awkward wave in hopes to invite her in before turning my attention back to the bow. Starting at the grip, I slid both hands along it until I found the release latched for the arms so I could fold it once more.
Setting the weapon aside, I faced Jack one final time, now that he had stopped talking. "Jack," I started, thinking carefully how I wanted to phrase my words. "I'm sorry... for before. I didn't know." Rubbing the back of my neck, I glanced to the side. I was still upset, but not about any one thing in particular, and certainly not at him. "I guess that's kinda obvious though. Um..." My mouth failed me, as seemed to be a common trait of mine. "Yeah."

☥Noémi tore her eyes from the mirror the instant she felt the clammy embrace of Kumotake's hands holding her own. "Qu'es-tu..." She started before shutting her mouth as he started to give his answer to her friendship question, in a very VERY odd way. Her reddened eyes widened in surprise as she fought back the wave of nausea the physical contact was giving her. The mention of more than friends ignited her cheek in a fiery blush, only to worsen when the giant of an Aburame pushed her against a stall and barricaded her in with his arms. This was straight out of one of her rather lewd books she kept hidden under her mattress. Her brain was short circuiting as his warm breath invaded brushed against her face. A surprised "eep" was all she could get out of her mouth in protest. While she wasn't opposed to the idea of being forcefully pushed against a stall for a rough and tumble she wasn't to keen on it being an Aburame, that tall dark and handsome advisor or her savior on the other hand... 'Focus.' She thought as Kumotake decided to continue with his 180 in emotions. A chill ran down her spine as her lips made a straight line at his delivery of the line 'stealing my heart.' Her mouth opened as she attempted to reply before closing as words failed to come to her.
She wouldn't have been surprised if smoke was bellowing from her ears, all she could do was just stare as her face continued to turn darker shades of red. He had successfully fried her brain. Her legs felt weak. What was with this guy and his compliments? She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding the moment Kumotake stepped back after realizing what he was saying. She placed a hand firmly against the stall wall to prevent herself from collapsing. She nodded dumbly at the mention of her savior, a hand resting against her chest in an attempt to calm her rapidly beating heart. "O-oui... Sauveur... Correcte." She mumbled as the male put his shirt back on. One hard swallow later and she was pushing herself off of the stall, now trusting her legs not to give out on her. Was she light headed? Was all that blood rushing to her head healthy? As she regained control of her facilities she noticed her warm face was not going away. 'Gosh what am I a little school girl? You've seen much worse girl.' She told herself clapping her cheeks lightly to focus. With red face she turned to walk out of the room. No more heart to hearts could possibly continue after what Kumotake did, there was no way she could take him seriously with the mental image of his naked torso pressing her against a stall filling her mind. Stopping only as she heard the other Aburame mention he'd give Okabe another chance. "Merci K-Kumotake. I-It means alot..." She mumbled, turning to face him while avoiding looking at him at all. Spotting her gloves still on the floor.
She took a deep breath willed herself to look at him, her breath hitching when she noticed what he was doing in front of the mirror. The blush instantly drained from her face along with any color. "Ku... Kumotake arrêtez!" She yelled as she tore his hand holding the glass away from his wrist. Her face twisted into pain as she looked at his cut wrist. Using her free and she carefully took the piece of glass from his hand, tossing it into the sink. "Que se passe-t-il!" Her grip would tighten on his wrist if he attempted to snake his way free, her mismatched eyes stared at him in confusion. Her free hand tightened gripped onto the sink besides them in an attempt to prevent herself from slapping some sense into the boy. She had no idea what to do. Her brain was still trying to catch up to her body after the roller coaster of emotions the boy had thrown her through in the span of a few minutes. 'I need help. I need help. I need. I need help. Help..' She bit her lip as she silently panicked. She hadn't had to stop self harm in ages she was out of her league, she needed someone to swoop in and save them from themselves.

Quote; "It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect." :: Patrick Rothfuss Noémi's Theme; Dollhouse :: Melanie Martinez
___Kirama could feel the sleaze in the air as Kumotake's voice followed his father out the door, and Inka took guard suddenly. That tracked, he supposed. Kagerou took a momentary leave, and it was suddenly just Inka and the young Hyuga. The lightest of irises met the Jounin's in a moment of awkward silence. ___"I'm gonna kick his a** back to the stone age." The genin said, eyes unshifting though his voice lacked any sort of cockiness. It was, instead, vindictive. Like Kumotake had earned it. Kumotake had earned it. Plus, Miki was down one important kicking implement for the time being. Shadow didn't know who Shadow was, either, which left just the Hyuga to meed out divine retribution. ___And with that he headed off back down the hall to his squad's room, waiting next to Kagerou so that he could have some excuse to not be the one busting in. He didn't feel much like he had it in him to explain away the interruption of such a dower scene - even if it would probably benefit those involved.
[･･･] Inka allowed Kumotake his moment, not wanting to intervene and possibly disrupt whatever growing experiences the two could learn. However, at the sight of Kumotake picking up a piece of broken mirror, Inka's feet took him forward. His steps were silent across the tiled bathroom floor, avoiding the jagged edges of broken glass to reach the Genin. "Hey, hey," He whispered, voice stern but comforting. An arm wrapped itself around Kumotake's torso, holding him close while the other hand gently grasped the fingers that had been holding the mirror frgament.
"You want to experience pain, ya come to me, 'kay? I'll show you how to get the most out of it." He promised, brow furrowed but confidence was strung through his words. Carefully, Inka turned Kumotake around to face him, fingers covering the freshly inflicted wound on the Genin. "Ya can come to me no matter what ya need. And if ya want pain - I'm tellin' ya now that disinfectant is one hell of a b***h to be doused in." At this, Inka reached out and took up the thrown away mirror piece, glistening in blood, holding it out to Kumo while Inka's other hand remained empty, ready to take Kumotake to a nurse and to promised disinfectant. "And after that little doozy I'll take ya to the arena - still wanna test that baby out proper. If yer up fer it."

When Noemi interjected she'd find the blood from his wrist streaking down her own hand momentarily before it ceased almost immediately. Perhaps if Kumotake were a normal individual who had slit his wrist just now he'd have begun to bleed profusely until he bled out. However, his Kikachu had already begun the process of clotting the wound. In an expression of irritation of course. Clearly they were accustomed to this type of behavior from their host though they weren't all that appreciative of them. In their case they would produce the insect equivalent of a sighing 'not again' like a parent who's had to deal with the s**t their kids do on a daily basis.
Noemi would find however, Kumotake's face lacking the indicators of stress of depression, or regret. In fact to say the least the look on his face was...well euphoric. His cheeks were flushed and he seemed to be in a daze. His body twitched unresponsive to Noemi's concerned handling of him. In fact it was unfathomably easy to get a grip on Kumotake as he had little to absolutely no guard. Noemi would then get her heroes arrival. In her favor this meant she didn't need to hold his wrist anymore. In fact chances were she never had to do so in the first place.
When Inka produced his embrace, Kumotake was still caught in the current daze. He didn't even register this motion either and taking the fragment of glass was so simple it might as well have been child's play. Only after it had left his grip did Kumotake's conscience seem to come back to reality. "Kaka-san? Disinfectant?" Confused now he'd see the shard of glass in Inka's hand and then the realization set in seeing that his sweatshirt was bloodier than usual. "Tch..." expressed with clear signs of self-loathing. He'd done it again. His bad habit. His eyes would then lock onto a probably confused Noemi. "I..uh..sh..sorry you had ta see that."
Inka proposed to put this past scene behind the three of them by proposing that he'd assist Kumotake in blowing off any more steam if he had any. "Sounds...good..yeah." He would then proceed towards the exit of the bathroom with an Inka slung over his shoulder. He'd take a few seconds to look back to try and give Noemi a sense direction if she'd lost any after the roller coaster he put her through "I think you've kept your saviour waiting long enough huh? Sorry for holdin ya up." In truth he needed to confront Miki...and Shadow but if he could run away again. Run away using Inka as an excuse..well why not, like father like son.
Once Inka had come out of the restroom with Kumotake's partially bloodstained sweater and pitiful expression he'd lock eyes with Kirama who seemed to lock eyes with him. Before Inka could advance them any further he'd stop to ask Kirama something. "Do you have something to say to me?" He'd ask genuinely curious with an innocence but a weakness in his voice. Clearly if Kirama was going to explode on him it would be unexpected. But maybe if this was the case he'd follow the father figure and the bug boy to do just what the Hyuuga had on his mind currently.

☥Noémi remained gripped to the sink's rim as Advisor Inka swooped in and took control of the situation. While he dealt with the other Aburame she tried to calm herself down. She was beginning to feel emotional whiplash from all the twists and turns Kumotake had taken her through during their brief stay in the men's restroom. Her eyes had locked onto the jagged piece of glass she had tossed into the sink, one side covered in a thin layer of blood. She moved herself away from the sink, tearing her fingers from the porcelain and her eyes from the glass. With a deep breath she steadied herself, quickly picking up her gloves and slipping them back over her disgusting fingers. The Advisor had extended an offer of help to the young bug boy, help him deal with his emotions as it were. Still being in big sister mode she was about to stop them from leaving, but Kumotake reminded her of why she was even in the hospital in the first place. She still had to go and give her thanks. If she waited any longer she might miss out. Kumotake had offered to help her control her hive earlier and with the extended bridge of frienship they started in the restroom she was sure she'd be able to continue their talk at a later date. Maybe she'd get answers as to why he harmed himself. But that was a for later. "Ahh... Uh... Oui, I s-should the get back to Kagerou. Je vais leur dire... I-I mean I'll tell them you;ll stop by later..." She mumbled, tapping her cheeks lightly as she pushed down all the left ofer angst in her system.
'Save it for later. For home.' She thought, walking past the pair. Only to halt just in front of them. "Oh! Monsieur Advisor Inka! You keep an eye on this young man. Hive a feeling he might try and buzz out of your sight later," She reached for the sides of her kimono as she curtsied to the man again, "Merci, er thank you for coming when you did. Peut-être viendrez-vous plus tard?" She ended with an innuendo, for once purposely using her mother tongue to keep it a private joke for herself. Still not sure if Advisor was his name or not. She skipped her way down the hall back into the main lobby before she recalled that Kagerou said she was moving to Shadow's room. She lightly face palmed before checking to make sure the other girl had grabbed her precious gift. With the bag of plums no where to be found she assumed it was grabbed. Tapping her chin she recalled her earlier conversation with the green nurse to remember just where Shadows room was. "Ah-ha! Hive got it!" She hummed to herself, smile plastered on her face as she made her way down a hallway. It turned out if she had only walked the other direction she would have arrived at the room, Kumotake was talking to the boy who had stolen the pineapple from him when they arrived. Stepping past them she stood in front of her green friend who seemed to be staring rather intently at an apple. "Bonjour Kagerou, did you the miss me? I am je suis désolé that took so long." She hummed with a small shrug of her shoulders, "I hope I still look bien... but I have the worried about that enough." She snaked her fingers around the bag of plums she had selected at the market, holding it in her hand once more. Part of her wondered why everyone was just standing outside the room. Were they waiting for the rest of the group? If they were all finally here there was no harm with her just going in, right? She turned on her heel to enter the room but stopped short, letting her hand fall to her side. But what if there was another reason her friend was just sitting outside? She decided to play it safe. She had waited all day she could surely wait a little longer. With a sigh took perch next to Kagerou, crossing her arms impatiently as she literally buzzed in nervousness... unbeeknownst to herself. Lightly bouncing on her heels she drifted into her thoughts.

-----[ C ]onfusion, uncertainty, these things were plain in Miki's words and posture that they might as well have been a sign around her neck. Instead of confronting it to aid Miki in her time of need, to aid her to find her Truth as he normally would have done, Jack instead hesitated and, at last, withdrew. The memories were fresh in mind of just how much his 'helping' had done for others, and so perhaps he should allow her to come to him if his help was needed. 'Yes,' came the thoughts echoing within his skull. 'That would be best...' -----A voice came from behind him, dragging his attention once more. Turning on his heel, hands clasping his cane with a grip of death, the Mizukage considered Shadow carefully as he spoke. Not just what he was saying, but how. Body language, small hints from the movements of his eyes to the muscle twitches of the body gave information that many failed to recognize, let alone utilize in any effective way. Due to this many underestimated just how much information could be gleaned from a situation, or a person, by simply being silent and observing. Even know, as Shadow squirmed to think of what to say, Jack observed his patterns carefully to see if there was anything left of the boy he knew. Shadow, a mute for many years, had only recently begun to speak with any sort of frequency, so to see that same child speaking now...as before, it hurt. -----But what else lay there, within the unconscious, where the Truth of the Self lay hidden from ones' sight? -----The uncertainty, the shifting of his feet, the hesitation, the mild terror in his eyes as being unable to think of what to say. -----That, at least, was still the Shadow he knew. -----Nodding to the boy as the footsteps and sense of another human being came to his mind Jack gestured out a nearby window, to the world outside, and spoke in a quiet, calm voice. This was time for him to speak as the Mizukage, to put Jack aside for the betterment of his village. "I have much I need to do, but I feel it prudent to inform you, Shadow, that Takeda, yourself, and Kagerou will be a part of my personal squad now. The other two have always been, but until your memory returns, it might be better to expose you to some of your past haunts, if you will, to see if anything sparks your imagination." With his antennae, invisible to nearly anything, he could taste the emotions of someone else familiar by the door without turning to it. "I will expect you, Kagerou, to help him with whatever he needs."

___"Do I need to regale the court with tales of your dreamly escapades?" Kirama asked bluntly, a clear threat to formally expose Kumotake's antics to anyone within earshot. Luckily for Kumo, Squad 3's newest member wasn't much for explosions. He preferred tugging at fraying knots. ___Of course, that sense of righteous mischief was slapped into the dirt like a lazily thrown shuriken as soon as Jack opened his mouth. He'd expected to ditch the momentary levity, but it would seem that the Mizukage had quite the knack for drawing the Hyuga's ire at a moment's notice. Narrowed eyes managed only a momentary spark of anger directed at Kiri's shadow before fizzling out and dropping to the floor. His indignation lacked the stamina necessary to keep pace in the face of the mounting list of disappointments currently comprising his still paltry shinobi career. ___Most didn't fail a crap assignment from their squad leader, stand by while the rest of their squad got maimed in various manners, and then subsequently watch that squad be disbanded from on-high over the course of a year, let alone in the span of a few days. Squad 3 wasn't going to be Squad 3 anymore. Hell, Kirama hadn't even gotten his name on the damn squad listing before it was upended. The genin had expected someone might fill in for Miki if they went on missions, but to also ferry Shadow off somewhere else? As irrational, and subsequently annoying, as the feeling of being kicked to the curb was, Kirama still felt it. How could he not, watching someone make the decision that he'd no longer stand beside people he faced a world of nightmares with like he wasn't right there? ___Pale eyes glanced to the medic next to him. Kagerou was certainly a more capable person to put Shadow into a squad with. It was selfish, what the Hyuga felt at the present moment. Like giving a gift just because it made you feel good. Not the point. But it'd been what? Hours since he wiped Miki's blood off himself? And now what? Getting her to the office was the only worthwhile thing he'd managed to do and now he'd never get to make up for it. Never get to not be s**t at something Shadow ordered him to do. ___A sigh leaked out of the genin like air out of a half inflated balloon, overlong and without much force as he crossed the hallway and practically threw himself into the chair he'd been sitting in before. Before Jack and Inka had arrived. Before Kagerou and Noemi dragged Kumo here. When he was covered in crimson and wondering what half his squad being bedridden in a hospital would mean for the future. When he seemed the only one concerned about whether Shadow and Miki would ever wake back up. Full circle and he had his answer.
Elle had spaced out pretty bad. She had been standing in place for roughly an hour holding open the door to the hospital. The staff had apparently checked on her a few times and left her to her own devices but pain in her knees caused her to jerk back to reality. They were stiff from holding still for so long. She ventured into the hospital and let the door shut behind her. She snagged an apple juice box from the nurses station with a polite request. They even gave her a bendy straw!
Sipping her juice box she ventured around the hospital, surveying the place to make sure that her relatively safe anchor point was still in tact. This was a place that she could go when she needed to reconstruct her mind from a hard day. It was necessary more often than not for her. The nurses gave her mostly free roam due to her being inside the building often enough to know where she was and wasn't allowed to go.
She approached a group of shinobi, only one of which she had met personally already. She knew jack and knew of inka but they hadn't personally met yet. The others were new to her however. She observed quietly from nearby, sipping on her juice through the bendy straw that was being held underneath her mask as she enjoyed the fruit derived beverage. Her eyes tracked the visages of various shadows in the room even as she listened. They would remain unseen to most; as they didnt actually exist to the others around her. Images in her mind to reflect recent events happening in this location, supplied by her vivid imagination and past experiences. The only thing that happened however, was the straw made a noise as she ran low on juice and began to draw in air around the liquid.

Kagerou smiled at her failed attempt to be inconspicuous. She still chose to remain out of sight, but not as far away as she originally intended. Kagerou waited about half an arm's length away from the door. Noemi joined her eventually, and Kagerou returned her greeting, "Bonjour, Noemi." She had gathered that "bonjour" was some sort of "hello" in her language, and her accent wasn't half bad. Rather, she was doing a really good mimic of what Noemi said. Relinquishing the plums to their rightful giver, Kagerou nodded approvingly of Noemi's choice to not go right in. "The conversation inside might be important," Kagerou gave Noemi a reason for her choice to remain outside. She would have elaborated more if she hadn't heard something that made her listen.
For the most part, Kagerou made an intentional attempt to not eavesdrop on the conversation happening on the other side of the wall. Although, it was only natural that she perked her ears when her name was mentioned, and that was when she paused her explanation. She'd just missed the part about how Shadow would be part of her squad, but gleaned enough from the rest of the conversation to assume that was the case. Appreciating her previous choice to remain closer to the door than intended, Kagerou took advantage of the short distance to reply by just sticking her arm out to the side towards the door. The thumbs up she gave would be clearly seen through the door way, and Jack would sense an overall air of approval, agreement, and... not exactly creativity because there wasn't any creating, but she was planning something in a similar vein. Terrible as she was at hiding her thoughts, Noemi would see Kagerou looking rather intently on the now buzzing Aburame as if she was sizing her up for... something. There was a smile on Kagerou's face. It was just a normal smile, but probably looked a little unnerving with the way she looked at Noemi.
Thanks to certain events, though, the chances of what Kagerou was thinking ever happening are incredibly slim, so here's the dirt. It wasn't anything creepy or weird. Having been given permission to help Shadow, Kagerou very naturally started thinking of ways to help him. Of course, as Noemi had endured for so long to meet him, she had to find a way to incorporate the literally buzzing girl. It was simply a bit of creative planning and looking at Noemi to figure out how to best make everything work. The plan was to let Shadow have some fresh air and make friends with people outside of his squad and emergency roommate, who Kagerou was sure he'd have plenty of time with, but give it all an excuse because she knew how some people could be about social interaction. The excuse, namely, would have been shopping for parts. It didn't take a genius to figure out the kid knew something about puppets, and Kagerou knew some shops that might interest him. She'd map it out on a piece of paper and have Noemi accompany Shadow on his shopping to pull off the double duty of helping him carry everything and making sure someone was besides him if any nasty side effects suddenly appeared when he was outside the hospital.
However, such plans were for naught. Kagerou was allowed the joy of thinking normally for just a little bit longer. She heard the sound of straw sucking liquid and gas. Just as she turned to find the source, a loud "DOKI" shot through Kagerou's heart. Eyes went wide in surprise and then squinted at the sensation that spread through her body. Her raised arm froze and despite the layers of weird entering Kagerou's body, she did not lose her grip on all the fruits she held in her other arm. At least, not when she was standing. Even as her mind grew hazy, Kagerou held onto her bearing enough to know that she needed to sit down. "Mnnnnnn," a moan escaped her lips as she slid to the ground, only letting her folded arm lose the struggle of holding up the fruit when she felt her butt touch the ground. Her face was an open book. Teeth were gritted and eyes focused as Kagerou tried to think through the confusion that upturned her mind. However, what caution and readiness she displayed were all softened by the strange but undeniable pleasure, and even scarier, her suddenly increased receptiveness to it, as reinforced by the second breath of pleasure, "Aaahhhhh." She caught herself thinking, more than a little horrified at how loose her thoughts were. Delayed, her eyes darted around to search for the source of this genjutsu. She somehow understood, that under normal conditions, something this small would not have an effect on her.
Kagerou's mind, grown loose, found itself suspecting Jack. The scary stories she'd swapped with the other academy children boke through the logical reasons and experiences that had long since buried such prejudices with the help of a naturally trusting personality only to be replaced by a distaste for such unfounded and unfair conclusions. Then from Jack, to Shadow. Kagerou realized. The outstretched hand moved from the door. Her eyes, having closed to maintain focus not too long ago, opened just a little. She thought, again for thinking it the first time. Her breath quickened, fear suddenly gripping Kagerou. Fear at this sudden and dangerous, as she was taught, change in the way she thought. Hopefully as a testament to her natural calm, though, she managed to hold back the impulses that gripped her body. She withdrew, bringing her knees up, arms around her knees, and head between the knees.
In the self-created darkness, Kagerou focused. She bit down on her lip. Her pants felt tight and her chest felt loose and they were only getting more so. Her teeth drew blood. Her body beckoned to be touched under the excuse of exploring the new changes, yet Kagerou was not the type to follow with such impulses. She was torn. She didn't want but the strange feelings that lingered within her wanted to and she did not have the inhibitions to forgo one for the other. The bigger problem was what this building held. "Dad.. Mom...," Kagerou whimpered, the torn decision creating yet another uninhibitied urge to run to her parents for help. She'd felt like that for a while and several times, but even during the nightmare, she had held the childish want to rely on parents to herself.
Kagerou bit down even harder, feeling more of the iron fill her mouth. came another set of impulses. She needed to get out, just like she had thought it was a good idea for Shadow to get out. she worked to manipulate these bizarre condition and grabbed relentlessly to the thought,
Welp. Now Kagerou had to run and get out. She shot up like a bolt of lightning going in reverse. She did not notice the ground seemed further away, but she did notice that Noemi also seemed to be very distracted with her own matters. No time for words that wouldn't be heard. Kagerou just left at a fast walk, leaving the fruit scattered over the floor but at least taking her's and Takeda's luggage with her. The new junk in her pants strained and it wasn't even fully done.

• Specialist -The user chooses to specializing in healing medical techniques and gains a great boost to their chakra control in that area. At Chunnin, they gain a -5 chakra reduction to perform techniques in their specialty. at Jounin, -10, at Konin -15 at Sannin -20. To clarify, they they gain a -5 chakra reduction every rank, to a maximum of -20 at sannin. All medical jutsu are still learnable by both sides, but the chakra control only applies to the chosen side.
• Grand Performance - The user can perform both types of arts (ninjutsu and genjutsu) through their performance or instrument, often casting them at the same time (must pay for both techniques). Can perform D rank techniques through instrument at gennin, C at Chunnin, B at jounin, A at Konin, and S at Sannin.
• Learn Medical techniques one (1) post faster.
• Learn ninjutsu (1) post faster.
• Learn genjutsu one (1) post faster.
• D"eye"versity - Through the use of custom techs, Kagerou can swap between the normally limited abilities and techniques for her sharingan, potentially giving her access to all eye abilities and mangekyou techs. She can never have more than the written limits at any one time (e.g. access to all eye abilities but cannot use more than two at a time). In addition to learning the required custom and whatever additional requirements that custom might have, Kagerou needs to fulfill certain conditions for a safe swap. Each Sharingan ability or technique swapped must be retrained and adjusted to, a process that takes twenty [20] posts at first for each Sharingan ability/technique, is reduced by two [2] posts every time the Sharingan ability/technique is safely retrained, and can take a minimum of six [6] posts per Sharingan ability/technique. If necessary, Kagerou can perform a riskier, instant swap on the fly without the readjustment period, but these swaps can only last for up to five [5] posts and disables the Sharingan, which needs to recover from the strain, for twice [x2] the number of posts that the swap lasted for. Techniques learned with the 'To Copy' Sharingan ability, which can be swapped out, are not forgotten but must be retrained every time Kagerou safely swaps to the 'To Copy' ability. Instant swaps to the 'To Copy' ability give Kagerou all of her copied techniques without needing to retrain them. For every time Kagerou safely swaps to her 'To Copy' ability, her copied techniques take two [2] less posts to retrain, going down to a minimum of one [1] post to retrain each copied technique.
• Miracle Performance - Kagerou can perform healing eiseijutsu through her performance/instrument as if it was ninjutsu of the same rank. When performing healing medical techniques, she can target anyone who can hear her music with the jutsu. I.e. she no longer has to be within touch range of the target to use healing hands.
• The Good Host - 1/2 off all implant chakra requirements.
• Mind and Body - A sound soul resides in a sound mind and a sound body. To ensure the health of all three, Kagerou must master every aspect of medicine. Kagerou gains an additional medical field type. The additional type needs to be trained separately from the first.
• Evergreen Growth - Life always finds a way, especially when it's helped by someone who truly cherishes it. Plants cultivated by Kagerou grow as if the soil they are nourished by is +1 grade higher than it actually is. Unfertilized soil yields crops in 2 rl weeks. Low-grade fertilizer yields crops in 1 week. High-grade fertilizer reaches a new level of fast and yields crops in 4 days. (Post-acceptance note: I just realized that there is an Evergreen religion in this guild. I did not mean for this to be a religious PA in any way. It's just botany. I hope that's not a problem.)
☥Noémi glanced over at Kagerou as she started at the buzzling bee, only now noticing that she was doing it again. She really needed to learn how to control her children. What if she started buzzing in a more intimate situation. She was about to apologize to her green haired friend when she hit with a sensation to her chest, like she pricked herself on a needle or getting stung by a bee. Only instead of pain radiating through her it was something else. Like she could do anything. Like rules didn't matter to her as long as she got what she wanted. And what she wanted was to thank her savior. She was always raised to be polite before anything else. However whatever had just given her the odd sensation seemed to be nullifying her ability to resist her urges. She no longer cared if she was being respectful. Maybe thats why she didn't stop and help out her friend while something was obliviously going on with Kagerou, if the moans were anything to go by. Instead she opted to do what she had just previously stopped herself from doing. Walking over to Shadows door and thrusting it open, with enough force to knock a man down if they were standing in front of it. "Bonjour! Monsieur Shadow! I've come t-" She yelled at the top of her lungs when suddenly the feeling in her chest started changing. It looks like the bee sting wasn't over.
The sudden shock made her forget she was walking, her legs going limp as she fell to the ground for the second time today, luckily, a hand going forward to catch her before she broke her nose even more. The weird feeling started radiating fully throughtout her body, no longer just clouding her mind with passion. Her breath hitched as her body began to change almost instantly. Her 'girls' having shrunk down to nothing and a not unwelcome tightness in her shorts springing out of no where. "Ce que-... M-... ma voix?!" He whisper shouted, hand checking his throat as his sat on his knees. Why was there a solid bump on his neck? Why was her voice so much deeper than he remembered. No longer did it carry a singsong tune with it, like he was sweet as honey. No... now it was tart or sour like a lemon. "Que se passe-t-il?!" He yelled finally up on his feet again. Looking around the room for answers as to why he no longer had tiny boobs hanging off his chest or why his voice had gotten deep... or why his shorts felt so constricting. He looked at his savior for help first but he seemed to be having his own troubles, then to Jack who looked as off as always... why did everyone trust him? Finally his pink and brown eyes rested upon the form of the female in the room.
It was when he locked eyes with the girl that a third wave of feelings overcame him. His throat felt like he dying of thirst while staring at a cup of water. He needed to talk to this goddess. 'Why was I here?' Was one of many thoughts going through his mind as he walked past Jack and Shadow to the girls bedside. "Je pense que je suis amoureux..." He mumbled under his breath, scooping the girls remaining hand into his own, "Bonjour. Would you the do me a favor and gift me your name? So I might know who stole my heart?" He stared directly into the girls eyes, noting how perfect they looked. Like a pair of finely crafted marbles. His heart was racing faster the more he looked into those perfect eyes. Somehow resisting all his urges to just kiss the woman here and there, perhaps whatever stung him wasn't in full effect just yet. Why did he have to wear such tight shorts? And why did he feel the need to sprout cheesy lines? "Do you believe in love at first sight... or should I walk by again?" He whispered to the girl, his control slipping.

___Kirama watched the strangeness unfold around him like a funhouse, but for some reason he held no desire to explore the changes of the other two like he normally would. His compulsion to chase the things around him, seek answers, had been subtly replaced without his notice, and his desire to act on his impulses had become painfully high. ___What had been dejection moments earlier was now determination. Byakugan stressed back to life as he examined the fruits on the ground, searching for one that had not been bruised by the fall. As he did so the now former kunoichi passed him and headed into the office. An apple was the choice, fitting, but white eyes raised to see that the boyish Noemi's goal in entering the office was the same as his own. This would not do, and Kirama set off into a slight jog. ___He had his target before he even cleared the door frame, and he picked up a little speed, settling into a short slide as his hand reached out with a flattened palm. "How about you just take a hike, and make sure no one sees you later." Though the Hyuga's fists were said to be gentle, Kirama had no intention of being so here. Noemi may have transformed into a guy, but he still spotted his fellow suitor more than a foot and just shy of a hundred pounds. ___If Kumo was any indication, the Aburame would find himself smushed up against the nearest wall or cabinet or whatever as a more physically capable specimen sought to occupy the same space. Whats more, Kirama injected a bit of a gift into his shove, attempting to close a tenketsu point in Noemi's arm to free Miki of its grip. Either way, the larger boy would position himself to body his opposition out of the way - damning the dress shirt his mother had left him to wrinkle hell in the process. The apple extended to take the place of the Aburame's clingy hands. ___"An apple for the one that holds my eye?" He asked flirtatiously, with a smile that would be unfitting on most Hyuga faces and certainly in its own clash with Kirama's typically contemplative expression.

[x] It was getting crowded again, and it felt like my personal space was being invaded although no one was actually close. Jack acknowledged my attempt at an apology with a curt nod and explained that I would be in his squad. Since he knew the most about me, I guess, revisiting places that were previously familiar to me might jog my memory. It made sense to not be in charge of my own squad anymore, and part of me was thrilled about that, especially given how confused about, well... everything I was. But a small part of me felt disappointment as well. He asked Kagerou to help if I needed it. At the moment, I wasn't particularly sure what I needed help with, other than maybe finding my way around the village.
My gaze shifted to Kagerou to see her reaction, beside whom stood a very pink girl and a rather tall young man, both of whom I obviously didn't recognize. The green-haired girl gave a thumbs up to Jack in approval, but she was far enough beyond the doorway that I couldn't tell anything else without leaning that direction.
Not a moment later, the pink girl burst into the room shouting in a language I didn't know. I recognized my name, and she started speaking familiar words, but then halted for some reason, looked almost as confused as I felt, before her legs gave out and she sunk to the floor. But confusion wasn't all as a small nagging became apparent in the back of my mind that was steadily becoming stronger. I moved forward to help the girl and for some reason got distracted by the now mobile mechanical arm. Specifically the spiderweb of cracks that ran along the ink coated underside. I should fix that.
I should fix it... but how?
Someone is bound to be able to help me, right?
I hardly noticed the shouting from the pink girl who was now past me and talking to Miki. Maybe I knew her previously and she was just saying 'hi'. It didn't really matter. I looked back at Jack, holding the wooden arm forward slightly to indicate it was what I was speaking of. "Where can I--eh?" What was wrong with my voice? The tone came much higher than I expected. And it was then that I became aware of what was going on around me. Kagerou was on the floor in a ball as if to hide something and the previously enthusiastic girl who I didn't know the name of now had a rather low pitch to her voice. Looking at her I figured out why. She was now a he. And although he faced away from me, clinging to Miki, so I couldn't see the main features that distinguished a male figure, the broad shoulders and general shape of the torso gave it away. Not a moment later, the young man who stood in the doorway before hit the pink gi--boy with an open palm, sending him into a nearby wall. The dark-haired male then proceeded to present an apple to Miki.
Because of that, I partially guessed the same thing was happening to Kagerou, given how she--he?--was acting. But the 'apple of my eye' kid didn't seemed to have changed gender. Kagerou was gone anyway, having evidently panicked and left during the distraction.
Also because of that I was forced to look at myself, suddenly painfully aware of the discomfort, or lack there of, that I felt. Oh. Fairly certain my face had to turned bright red given the heat that rushed into my cheeks, my wide gaze returned to Jack. "Um... N-never mind. I'll figure it out on my own." Ack... Stop! Speak normally. What the heck was happening? Eyes falling to avoid further embarrassment, I grabbed my bow and hurried out of the room, shoving past anyone in the way. I forgot my bag, left behind beside the bed I'd occupied, and apparently my shoes, but I wasn't about to turn around for them. They probably wouldn't move anyway, right?
Of course, I was also aware that my mind was being overwhelmed with the thought of fixed my arm. It'd been shoved to the side briefly during the strange apparent gender swap but now I couldn't think of much else.

However, a pause was just that: a momentary break before someone pressed the play button again. Kagerou took that first step into the hall. Now, she believed that it would just be like an invisible wall. Once she'd stepped through, feeling of hesitation would go away. She was wrong. It remained like a film of doubt throughout her lonely walk down the quiet hall. However, she did not let it pause her once more. It was both something expected and something Kagerou was usually resistant to… minus the whole fright fest not too long ago.
