    The soft sound of a small bell could be heard, echoing through the forest that surrounded Kirigakure. The Deadwood as most called it, due to the fact that the trees were long dead from lack of sun and over moisturization from the constant mist that surrounded it. It was here in this place that Azrael would feel the most at home, no sound of people talking or anything really. It was just him and the peaceful ringing of the small bell that hung from his left ear as he moved slowly through the Deadwood. The occasional caw of Never and More could also be heard as the two Ravens flew over head of the short white haired male dressed in all black. The lower half of his face hidden behind a Rebreather painted with a wicked lipless grin with sharp teeth across the front of it. His red eyes just barely visible behind the strands of white hair that slightly obscures them from view.

    Azrael would move through the forest, though normally he would be walking with one or more chakra ghosts he decided differently today. Instead he would not activate his ghost unless he sensed someone with his chakra sensory, if they were a threat. Azrael doubt he would run into anyone however, considering most of the village considered these parts of the woods as curse. Though he was a large part of that reason with himself and his chakra ghosts moving through, scaring and possibly killing those that entered his domain.

    Raika Ryuutei didn't believe in stories of ghosts; she wasn't even haunted by the thought of her own dead half-brother from the Uzumaki clan that she'd killed and even eaten. But maybe ghosts live through their meat? Who knows, Raika didn't really have time or energy to postulate on the concept of an afterlife. At the moment, Raika was busy consuming, the way her Ryuutei blood demanded her to do. As it is, Azrael or anyone else might have a hard time sensing her as a human purely with chakra sensory; her blood was somewhat tainted with the Ryuutei's cursed chakra, making her seem more animalistic than a normal human. Right now, that would be particularly apt, since she was chowing down on a deer she'd managed to catch unawares after what had been hours of chasing. She wouldn't have even needed to chase it, but her stomach had grumbled at just the wrong time and alerted the skittish beast, so now she was forced to eat it after having already spent a lot of energy to get it.

    She hears a twig break from somewhere else, and she blows some of the cervid blood from her nostrils, ensuring they're no longer blocked up so she can take a deep whiff. A human scent, but... a corpse? No, a live human, but wronger. Her hunger was sated enough for now, so she wipes the blood off of her chin and her cheeks, although she takes some of the deer flesh right off of its ribs to much on as she stands up. Then she turns directly towards the scent and moves towards it. Of course, it was also possible that anyone with sensory skill might also be able to sense some of that dense Uzumaki chakra inside of her, and think she was some kind of beast, but they would need to have some serious sensory abilities. As it is, she gradually moves closer to the scent before climbing up a tree, half with chakra and half with claws until she's laying across an upper branch, her black hair hanging low over her back while she licks her claws clean as well.

    As Azrael moved through the Deadwood, he wasn't trying to be sneaky considering the fact that he didn't feel it necessary as he believed himself to be alone. Twigs would snap, leaves would crumble, and the occasional splash of him walking through small puddles could be easily heard as he walked. The light ringing of his bell earring echoing out into the forest mixed in with the sounds. Azrael would look up to the sky seeing Never flying high above the treetops while More stood on a branch looking down upon the white haired male before cawing loudly and taking off into the the air to follow his brother Never.

    A smile would form on his face beneath the mask as he watched his pets in the air, though the smile would fade as he felt the approach of a large source of chakra. He had not sensed such a large presence within his domain before, and it did not appear human almost beastial like the chakra his master wielded yet weaker. This would spark Azrael's interest, wishing to investigate further, as this could be his chance to capture a beast as his master had and grow in power just like him. His dull red eyes would glow red as the white in his eyes turned black, activating his Akayurei, Azrael would then project his ghost sight out towards the chakra source to get a look at the beast before he attacked. To Azrael's disappointment however what he found was not a beast like Kukuo, but a woman in a tree. Perhaps she was like his master and held a beast within her, but she didn't seem all that powerful, with the exception of the beastial chakra resonating from her.

    Ending his ghost sight Azrael would begin walking in the direction of this strange chakra woman, his curiosity fully peaked. If the woman captured a beast like what his master Sero had she would be worth knowing, and perhaps could even lead him to one of his own. Azrael would come into a small clearing with the tree the woman was in on the opposite side, looking up into the tree at her with his glowing red eyes. The masked Azrael's head would tilt as he stared trying to figure out what the woman was, he didn't care if she could see him as he left enough distance between them should she attack he would have time to react. After a few moments of silent staring, Azrael would speak, his voice as soft as a whisper but seemed to be carried upon the wind as even from her perch the woman would be able to hear his words. "Who are you?"

    She sees the boy approaching, and now she can hear the bell ringing from his ear, where the sound had been somewhat muffled by the movement of the leaves across the ground of the Deadwood. Raika feels somewhat disappointed when she sees that it's just a scrawny white-haired boy... no, man. Her perception of him was from above, so he'd looked smaller than she thought an adult would usually be. She considers just leaving instead of answering his question at all, but she can see that his eyes are glowing red, and it's as intriguing to her to see his eyes glowing like that as her chakra signature would be for him. Raika stops licking the blood from her claws and hooks them into the tree branch she was reclining on so she can drop down a good 5 meters in front of him. Her claws slowly sink back into her fingers, especially as she realizes that he's a Kirigakure ninja from the headband wrapped around him like a belt. So, not a threat, at least not right away.

    "Raika Ryuutei, first and last of this Name, from Kirigakure. Who are you?"

    She puts a hand on her left hip and shifts her weight to her left leg, taking on a somewhat relaxed position. Despite the appearance of such a position, her eyes continued to look up and down over his body, sizing him up a little; she didn't think he would fight her right away, but the position wasn't as relaxed as it appeared. In a split second, she could be on the move again, and her claws could push out of her fingers at a moment's notice. As it is, she was more curious than aggressive at the moment, though the expression on her face wasn't immediately friendly, just guarded. The breeze catches her long black hair and sends it swaying towards her right side, but she ignores it while one hand fiddles idly with her hip pouch.

    Azrael would watch the bestial woman lower from her perch, her claws retracting as she landed causing the males head to tilt again at this strange sight, though it would return to it's upright position as the woman spoke, causing the bell to chime again. He was unfamiliar with the Ryuutei though he had heard the name before, and she didn't seem to be lying when she said she was from Kirigakure. The male thought about casting a genjutsu upon her but ultimately Azrael decided it would only be fair for him to introduce himself as well. His eyes still black with the glowing red of his irises shinning beneath the white hair, as he spoke a collective of a hundred chakra ghosts would form behind him, his voice echoed through each of them causing the whispers to collaborate into a symphony as they spoke in unison.

    "This One has been called by many names, Raika Ryuutei. We are legion, we are the Endless Night and the Eater of Dreams, we are the Angel of Strife, and  we serve the true embodiment of Death, Master Sero." The chakra ghosts would vanish leaving only the pale white haired male, his whisper now speaking out alone with his ghost gone from behind him. "This one is known as Azrael Leader of Clan Yurei. This One is curious as to why you have come to our forest?" His head would be the only part of him that moved as he spoke in his whisper, his mouth hidden behind the monstrous smile painted upon his mask. Tilting ever so slightly to the side occasionally as if he was looking at something he found strange and intriguing, that thing of course being the woman identified as Raika Ryuutei.

    As he stood watching Raika his two Ravens would land on a branch behind the male, both letting out a caw causing Azrael to look back at them. "This One knows," came the whispered voice of the male directed at his Ravens before turn back to the woman. "Raika Ryuutei, Never and More would like us to tell you there is blood in your hair."

    Raika Ryuutei is shocked for a good few seconds when she sees the ghosts form behind the white haired boy with the mask, but she forces herself to calmness. Or relative calmness. The boy's long-winded explanation of who he is, combined with the voices of hundreds behind him, is definitely intimidating for most people, and if Raika was honest with herself, it was intimidating for her, too. But the ghosts disappear again as Azrael finally gives his name as an introduction. He also introduces himself as his clan's leader, and her eyes narrow a little. Mayhaps she shouldn't have also given her clan name as well... But she pretends to ignore how frightened the little display had made her and instead responds to the question in a nonchalant and informal way.

    "Didn't see your name on it, and I was hungry. What's it to you?"

    She then gestures behind his head towards where the chakra ghosts had been only moments ago, before the ravens land and begin their cawing.

    "Nice party trick, by the way. Do you do birthday parties for 8 year olds too?"

    Raika frowns when the ravens start cawing incessantly. Ravens and lions generally get along okay, mostly, with the ravens eating the leftovers from most lions' kills, so the ravens usually benefit from the bigger hunting cats. When Azrael mentions that she has blood in her hair, she takes a moment to run her fingers through her black hair until she finds the wet spot, then lets the man and his ravens watch as she runs her fanged teeth through the hair to collect the leftover blood until there's none left. Her next sentence is only muttered to the ravens and not directly to the man with a ghoulish grin on his mask.

    "Thanks, I guess."

    Azrael's eye would narrow as the woman remarked that his name wasn't on it and she was hungry, when she would ask what it was to him Azrael's whisper carried heavily as it echoed through the forest. "This Land and all that inhabit it belongs to Master Sero, Master has given us guardianship of the forest. This One is to ensure no outsider enters our forest, however This One was also ordered not to harm Kirigakure Shinobi. You owe your life to Master Sero, for it is his decree that has spared you, Raika Ryuutei." Despite the fact that his voice could be heard throughout the forest it was still but a whisper and his tone or demeanor would not change from the same as when he had asked her name. He didn't care if she knew who his master was only that her life belonged to Sero now whether the woman wanted it too or not.

    When the woman mentioned something about a birthday party, Azrael would tilt his head once more though rather than curiousity this would be caused out of confusion. "Raika Ryuutei, what is a Birthday parties?" Azrael would ask his own question to the woman's question having never heard of what she was talking about, mostly due to his upbringing and the fact that he had nothing to celebrate when he grew up. He would remain waiting for an answer staring at the woman with his glowing blood red eyes.

    As the woman thanked the Ravens, one of them would let out another caw. "More, says you're welcome."  While one Raven would speak the other would simply stare before flying down to his master's shoulder, Azrael would lift his finger to Never lightly petting his head as the Yurei looked upon Raika. Eventually More would come down landing on his other shoulder nuzzling his beak to the man's hair, Azrael gaze would find its way back to Raika. "It seems this one is at an impass, Raika Ryuutei. More thinks you are to be trusted, yet Never believes you to be a deceiver and that we should kill you." As he spoke in his whisper Azrael would not stop rubbing Never's head, "unfortunately, for Never. Master Sero has forbidden this unless you pose a threat to the village. So tell us, Raika Ryuutei. Do you pose a danger to our homeland?"

    Raika's own eyes narrow at Azrael when he speaks again of this high and mighty Master Sero, who has apparently put some nonsense or another in his head. She raises one arm from where her hand is resting on her hip to cross her arms in front of her, putting on just a slightly more aggressive stance, but still not one of outright hostility. She looks Azrael firmly in the eyes so he can see that although her chakra feels dangerous, almost bestial, that she is firmly in control of her bestial nature.

    "A wild beast's life belongs to none, other than themselves. And I am no less an outsider to these woods than the wolves and leopards that also hunt here."

    Raika's voice is more than a whisper, but carries a firm confidence earned only by merit and not by misconception or self-indulgence. Her face softens a little when Azrael asks her what a birthday party is. After all, she hadn't had a single one herself until after she'd received her Name from the Ryuutei clan.

    "It's a celebration of the day of your birth for surviving another year."

    And then the genin is told that the ravens have their own thoughts about her, as though they're so much more sentient than mere animals. Raika pauses for a moment, looking from More, to Never, and then back to More. Summons usually talked in the human language, and both of these had merely squawked at one another or at Azrael. Of course, they could just be delusions of a fractured mind, but somehow Raika didn't think so.

    "I've never killed any Kirigakure ninja. The only humans that get to be my meal are the ones that turn their backs on the village. I might be wild, but even a wild lioness doesn't attack her own pride. Get me?"

    She doesn't wait for his answer. Raika pulls out the strip of deer flesh she'd been saving and starts chewing on the raw meat, working it down with seemingly little effort, her body already converting the flesh back into chakra as soon as it hits her stomach.

    A smile would form on the man's lips as the woman retorted against his proclamation of this land belonging to his Master, either she was very brave or very foolish. Azrael would hope it was the first as those ones were interesting, while the second was more disappointing and boring. If she was brave that might mean she would have a strong will and he did enjoy breaking them, but if she was foolish it wouldn't even be a challenge for the man to crush he mind. As she explained what a birthday parties was, Azrael didn't understand why someone want to celebrate living in this world but he would shrug the wondering off as it didn't matter. Though if he had celebrate anything in life it would not be the day of his birth, it would be the day he escaped the woman upstairs as that was the day he was free. That day was also the same day he met his Master and his Daeva, and his new life began with his choices. Raika was her own person just as he was that day, her path was hers just as his path was his.

    As the woman answered his question, Azrael would nod turning to Never, "You see she means us no harm, it seems More is correct." Azrael would state as the woman ate her meat, More however would take off from his master's shoulder and over to the top of Raika's head as long as she didn't swat him away. He would simply stand on her head eyeing the meat that was in the woman's hands. "More likes you more than This One thought," Azrael would say as he watched his Raven, Never would caw and Azrael would pet his feathers as he soothed the Raven still with him.

    Azrael would move closer to the woman his glowing eyes still staring at her as he cautiously approached her closing the distance by half putting them at fifteen meters away from each other the chime of his bell sounding once more as he moved. "This One apologies for our rudeness, if More likes you there is no reason for us to suspect otherwise." Azrael would state with sincerity, which was unusual for the male as he did not usually apologize for his actions. However, this was completely to do with More, his Raven pet seemed to think something about this woman that Azrael did not yet see, so he would just have to trust More's judgement on the woman. As he watched the woman he wondered if he should take her to see Sero, however he decided to wait for now and see just how this played out before asking her to join him to see his master.

    Raika is tearing off another mouthful of raw flesh when More happens to fly up and land on top of her head. Instead of jerking her head to rip the piece of meat off, she firmly locks her head in place so the bird doesn't get spooked. One doesn't typically make any sudden moves when there's something on top of you with a beak that tends to like eyeballs as a delicacy. Instead, she rips and tears the meat from the rest of the flesh by grinding her sharpened teeth, tearing the meat right off so she can eat it. She can also look up to see the raven eyeing some of her meat, so she uses her other hand to slice a piece of meat right off, ensuring that it's thin enough that the raven can eat it without choking or needing to tear it apart itself. She retracts the claws and holds up the thin sliver of meat for the raven to eat as Azrael approaches.

    She keeps most of her focus on him, relegating the eating of that meat to some simpler part of her brain and occasionally feeding some more fresh raw deer meat to More. She's a little bit surprised by the apology, and she would normally shake her head, but with a raven sitting on top, she has second thoughts about such an action. Instead, Raika pauses her eating to respond.

    "An apology means little. Suspicion keeps ninja alive, and that's good enough. But if it makes you feel better, you can consider your apology accepted."

    Raika is soon nearly finished with the piece of meat she'd shorn right off the deer carcass 30 meters away from them both, and she hands up the remainder to More, careful not to let it get too close to her fingers; she'd seen more than one finger mistaken for a worm. Granted, that was usually on a dead body, but if it could happen to the dead, it could certainly happen to her. Then she raises her bandaged left hand up, the middle and index finger together and pointed with her entire hand horizontal for the raven to use as a perch.

    "You'll find the rest 30 meters to the east. I didn't finish eating it so there's plenty left."

    The genin leaves her hand in place, though, if the ravens choose to stay. All creatures make their own decisions, in her view. But then she refocuses to Azrael.

    "But who or what is a Sero?"

    Azrael watched as Raika fed More, she seemed to try and be careful as she feed the Raven, as though scared it might bite her. Having feed both Never and More, they knew not to bite the hand that feeds and were smart enough to know what and what not to eat. Of course, he had been the only one feeding them, he had not seen them take food from another. Not too surprisingly though, More would take the meat from Raika's hand enjoying it without snapping any of her fingers off. Still on Azrael shoulder Never would watch his brother with intensity as More ate the meat that the woman provided him. As she lifted her arm and spoke More would hope down from her head to her shoulder walking down her horizontal arm to her forearm, with a quick look to Azrael, More took off in the direction the woman was pointing to find the meat. Never cawed angrily before taking off from Azrael and leaving the two alone as the woman turned back to Azrael and asked him who Sero was.

    A smile would form on his face at the question, though the woman wouldn't be able to see it. "Master Sero, is the strongest being to walk this forsaken plane of existence. Our Master taught This One control over our powers, as well as many others. He is by far the strongest within Kirigakure, if not the entire world. Our Master commands the military force of Kirigakure, as well as charged with the village protection. This One is but one of his many commanders of his mighty force and as such has given this one charge over his forest. Soon the world will know true fear when our Master unleashes the havoc upon them." Azrael's whisper would sound like a starstruck fan telling someone else about their idol. His voice would trail off as his mind began to wander, thinking of all the Chaos that would soon unfold, however it would only be for a second before his questioning stare returned to the woman.

    "Tell This One, how you are of Kirigakure yet know not of our Master?" His voice tilting as he asked, his glowing red eyes staring her down. Despite their close range, if the woman proved to be a threat then, it would only take a single look of the eyes to put her back in place. However, something about this woman's attitude as well as the power he could feel resonating from her, told Azrael that she might be worth of an audience with his master, and possibly even joining his master's brigade if his Master allowed it.

    With both ravens gone, Raika seems a bit less uneasy and more relaxed, hooking her hand on her hip again as she refocuses back to Azrael. On eyebrow cocks upwards when he describes Sero with very many epithets, especially as he is proclaimed to be the strongest person to ever walk this plane of existence. The genin is visibly unimpressed by this description of him, but when she's asked how she can be a member of Kirigakure and not know who he is, she simply shrugs her shoulders.

    "Never been interested in politics. Lots of talking, little action."

    Although, Azrael did claim that Sero was specifically the leader of the entirety of Kirigakure's armies, which she had assumed would be exclusively the business of the princess triumvirate; even if they delegated that power to an underling, the princesses would have the ultimate say in how they are used or what havoc they're unleashing.

    Raika decided not to bring up the princesses, however, seeing as how Azrael seems to hold Sero in such high regard, possibly even above the triumvirate. Not that Raika herself was particularly loyal to the princesses, any more than she was loyal to Sero.

    "Besides, I spent most of my life living among the Ryuutei clan members. If I didn't interact with them personally, I wouldn't know them from my fifth cousin, twice removed."

    That would have been Thirty-Seven. When he was younger, he'd picked his nose and eaten his boogers, but he was almost at the age that he would be ready for his own Naming ceremony. Raika didn't think he would make it to that point.

    Hearing the woman's answer to this question he would simply nod, he could understand not getting involved with leadership. He himself only dealt with his Master, as he was not a people person. For him though the triumvirate was still new, when the darkness took him from the waking world his Master was actually closer to his power level and the land was ruled by the Mizukage. Still much stronger then Azrael but closer, since he awoken entombed in ice it seemed as though he had time traveled. He was still the same as he was back then, yet his Master grew to commander the military, and his Daeva rose to be one of the members of the triumvirate. He had known when he had met Sayu, she was destined for greatness. She too had now eclipsed his power however he has yet been able to reconnect with his Daeva as she was out of the country. He didn't even know who the others were no did he care, his orders came from his master and so he didn't have to talk to the others.

    Azrael's head tilted in confusion at the woman's explaining of her spending time with her clan, not at first, but at the mention of cousins and removal. His entire life had been him and his ghosts, with the occasional torment of the woman upstairs. It wasn't even until a few days ago that he learned he had a half-sister, though he doubted that he would have trouble telling her apart from others if he did not see her for a while. Though that was partially due to the fact that he had sensed her chakra, as well as walked through her memories to prove she was who she had claimed. For a brief second, Azrael considered entering this woman's mind to find out the meaning of the words she had used having not heard them before. Ultimately though he would decide to ask her instead, "This One is confused, what is a cousin and why would you want them removed?"

    Raika is a bit taken aback at Azrael's apparent confusion about the definitions of simple concepts, and she frowns and closes her eyes for a moment as she considers how to define a cousin without calling the boy stupid. She realizes after a while that she's stopped thinking of him as a man, which was dangerous because he was still of combat age; he had basically admitted to being not just a ninja, but a soldier. Still, she can feel a headache building behind her eyes from having to define something as basic as a cousin, and a cousin removed. Raika counts to ten in her head before she opens her eyes again, looking at Azrael directly and no longer frowning.

    "A cousin is a part of your family that isn't within your direct lineage. Your mother's brother's son is your cousin. A cousin removed is not... you don't get rid of your cousin. A cousin removed is 'removed' by a number of generations. Your grandmother's brother's son is your first cousin, once removed."

    It would be confusing for anyone that hadn't grown up with a large family, but Raika somewhat had. Although she'd only ever known her cousins and never her siblings... Her mind flashed back to her first real kill and she can feel her mouth salivating, and she swallows quickly. She'd known one of her half-siblings, but not for long.

    "In any case, I should be getting a move on. I'm returning to Kirigakure now that I've had my fill."

    Listening to the woman explanation of family would make absolutely no sense to Azrael, but he didn't have a real sense of family, even Kami he had no emotional attachment to. Still he would listen to the woman's answer in earnest as his mind raced with the all the different family and how confusing it would all be to have to deal with so many people. It actually made his brain hurt as he thought of having people he was forced to talk to and interact with.

    His thoughts would be broken when the woman mentioned returning to Kirigakure, "This One will join you." Azrael stated simply, it wasn't a question or an offer it was more of he would follow her if she wanted him to or not. Azrael wasn't worried about leaving his Ravens as they often flew off on their own and could easily find him no matter where he went, and would eventually come find him. Considering their ability to recognize people, Azrael would not be at all surprised if More would be able to find the woman again if he wanted to, and considering she shared food with him Azrael almost half expected that the small Raven would be looking for the woman again.

    As they began walking towards the village, Azrael would watch the woman for a short while in silence, before asking her the question that was burning in his mind, though it would exactly come out as a question but more of a statement again. "Raika Ryuutei, This One wishes you to meet our Master. Master Sero, can help you to grow stronger just as he helped This One."

    Raika simply shrugs at Azrael's insistence that they travel together back to Kirigakure, not thinking much of the offer, but she starts walking in that direction anyway, although she does choose to slow down to wait up for him. Raika reconsiders the strange boy's words again, realizing that he's awfully scrawny for a soldier like he said he was, and she looks over her shoulder at him again, noticing once more that he was even more scrawny than his ravens are, and that he definitely wouldn't be considered soldier material in her clan, which prioritized speed, and probably wouldn't be considered a soldier in most other ways as far as physical attributes. He doesn't look like he has enough muscles for a high degree of power, he's not very fast, and he looks like he'd be knocked over by a heavy breeze... So he must have some other attribute that makes his physical weaknesses immaterial in some way. She initially dodges the statement about taking her to meet this Sero person.

    "Speaking of Sero, why did he recruit you into his service? You seem to hold him in very high regard..."

    She lets him answer while she uses her senses to keep track of other animals nearby, although she's no longer sneaking around looking for food, so they're both making more than enough noise, particularly with his bell earring, that all the wild animals are leaving them well enough alone and keeping their distance.

    "Hmmmm... I suppose it wouldn't hurt to meet him at least. Oh yeah, and why do you wear a bell as an earring? I'd think you'd have a hard time keeping track of the animals you've probably been tasked with watching in this old forest while you're making all that noise like that. And it's probably hard to sneak up on people with that."

    Azrael would nod at the woman's statement of him holding Sero in high regard, "Master Sero said he saw This One's potential, he helped This One learn to control our power. The darkness took This One away, but now This One has returned, and Master has taken us back to his side. He is Death itself for those that stand against him, and so This One is the servant of Death." Azrael would reply his whispered voice holding a hint of enthusiasm as he spoke of his master, his head nodding more rapidly causing the bell to chime more when she mentioned meeting Sero. He was about to say yes after, but then the woman asked about his earring and he would stop and listen to what she was saying before answering.

    "This One does not watch the animals, we watch for those that wish harm to our home. This One use to be quiet, use to hide. This One was scared of the sounds, hide in the dark quiet as a mouse simply watching." Azrael would pause looking at the woman near him as they walked, "but then This One met Master Sero. With Master's help, this one learned, Master Sero taught this one the true meaning of power. It is not This One's body that is the danger, it is This One's mind. Now if you can hear This One then it is too late, and if you See This One, you only live because we allow it." Azrael's whisper would hold a hint of absolution, as if he whole heartily believed every word he spoke, because he did. It was likely to sound as a odd statement coming from someone so physically weak to someone as physically toned as the woman, however what Azrael lacked in physical prowess, was made up in his mental fortitude. A master of illusion, torture, and memory extraction, all of them useful too his Master and it was these qualities that makes him perfect as Sero's second within the Nightmare's, as very few could withstand the mental bombardment that Azrael could deliver.

    Raika considers the statements that Azrael uses to describe Sero, and the near-religious fervor of his statements makes the hairs on the back of her neck rise up. She almost immediately wrestles back down her fear response until it's quiet and her body returns to a relaxed state, but for a moment there, her muscles were almost taut from the automatic response. It wouldn't really be noticeable for most people, so she didn't expect that Azrael would know that the way he talked about Sero made her quite uncomfortable. Instead, she lets Azrael catch up more to walk next to her as she looks at him with a mostly bored expression on her face. She chooses not to respond to his adoration for Sero, who she's finally decided is just a man; probably a very strong man, but still a man, and not some kind of demigod. Not that she'd say so to Azrael or to Sero himself. Raika was no longer undecided on meeting with him, since it sounded like he was pretty strong.

    Her eyes are still looking at Azrael when he turns his head to look at her as well, causing their eyes to meet directly again, and the red eyes just make her back muscles twitch, like a big, wild cat does when it gets a bit nervous. She doesn't really like the way that he suggests that she's only alive because he allows her to live, but that kind of statement somewhat ensures that she won't break eye contact with Azrael first; a sign of weakness only makes it easier for someone to end your life, after all. Raika decides not to test him on it, because he doesn't speak with arrogance, but confidence when it comes to his ability to kill.

    "So be it. You've convinced me to meet with him, so you might as well lead the way."

    Raika of course didn't mention that looking into his eyes made her uneasy, and so letting him lead the way would make her feel much more comfortable, especially because she could also probably safely tune him out if he goes on another rambling fervor to sing Sero's praises. She wonders what could have made him so desperately infatuated with the man that he had become this Sero's disciple, but she was probably going to find out soon enough as they get closer to the village gates.

    When the woman's eyes met Azrael's, the whites of his eyes would turn black and his red irises would glow, as he activated his Genjutsu: Akayurei. With the exception of his eyes there would be no visible change in the surroundings or anything else for that matter, at least not at first. After he explained his power, the woman was quick to change her mind to meeting Sero, while this would please Azrael, he couldn't simply brin just anyone to his master. Azrael knew she held power simply by her chakra, and just because she claimed to be from the village did not mean she was not a threat, he needed to be sure. After all he was not going to bring an assassin to his Master, and just because she was acting like she didn't know who he was doesn't mean anything, as she could easily be lying.

    As the woman finished her statement of him leading the way, a strong gust of wind would blow between them, strong enough that the trees around them would begin to bend from the pressure the wind was causing. However, other than the loud wind noise blowing around them both Azrael and Raika would be unmoved by the wind. This was because it was part of Azrael's Genjutsu, the sky above began to fill with thousands of Ravens, the Caws heard over the sound of the wind, their forms coming together in a large black cloud that would block out the light of the sky until the two stood in a pitch black Deadwood forest.

    "Tell this one the Truth, why do you suddenly wish to meet our Master?" this time when Azrael would speak, while still but a whisper, the demonic mouth on the mask would move with the words as if the mask was his own mouth. Having his Genjutsu: Akayurei active, Azrael knew she couldn't lie as his Genjutsu forced her to divulge information that she would normally not. Even if she fought against tell him, she wouldn't be able to stop herself from telling him what he wanted to know.

    Raika blinks for a second when his eyes change their coloration and glow brightly, then furrows her brow a little at such an odd change to his eyes, though she's not sure if it even means anything. Then the winds apparently blow hard enough to bend the trees around them, although she doesn't actually feel any of the wind. That struck her as totally unnatural, and even more unnatural is the sudden gathering of ravens; granted, she'd seen crows gather in large numbers, but there'd never been enough birds to completely block out the sun like this murder of ravens had. This just makes her furrow her brow more in confusion and even squint to see Azrael better in the sudden pitch darkness, but mostly she can only really make out his glowing red eyes.

    "Huh. More crazy party tricks, or what?"

    Her voice is still calm enough to not betray the fear she felt from the sudden and drastic change in their environment. She's also a bit confused when what she'd thought was a painted-on death grimace began moving on his mask to match his spoken words, which was quite confusing; paintings don't talk. Despite this, she doesn't realize or even think that she's in a genjutsu, so she shrugs her shoulders a bit as she answers the question without even considering lying, which was normally how she spoke anyway.

    "You said he made you stronger, and I wonder if he can do the same for me. If I can become powerful enough to lead the Ryuutei Clan, it's probably worth it."

    After Raika speaks her piece, she looks up at the ravens filling the sky and scratches her head with her right hand, clearly confused.

    "These birds are kinda crazy, huh? And they're fuckin' loud."

    As Raika point out the unkindness overhead and the noise the large gathering of Ravens were making, the noise would suddenly stop and the world around the pair would become silent as the unkindness broke apart and the Ravens disappeared like they were never there and the light of the sun would return. Azrael's Akayurei still active leaving the white of his eyes pure black, offset by the red glow of the irises, "Why do you wish to rule your clan? What else would you do with this power you gain from our Master?" Azrael's whisper was cold and against the complete silence of the world around them would seem louder than before despite having not changed in pitch or tone.

    Azrael was simply having a little fun, if he wanted to hurt her he would have done so earlier. No this was just fun as well as ensuring he didn't let in a potential threat, as he knew his Master would not be pleased with such an occurrence. Though no one ever said he couldn't have fun while doing it, "Tell This One, What does Raika Ryuutei Fear?" With her still under the effects of his Genjutsu the woman would have no choice but to answer all of his questions, and when she told Azrael her fear the area around them would shift again as the woman was faced with whatever it was that she feared the most.

    Raika blinks again when all the changes suddenly disappears, and she uses the pinky of her right hand to rub at the inside of her ear before she pulls it out and flicks whatever was at the end of her pinky away, shrugging a little when she's asked such questions. With the sudden disappearance of all of that, she feels fairly certain that it really was just some kind of party trick. Either she wasn't the brightest bulb, or she just didn't care that much about all these odd changes to the world.

    "Eh? Probably eventually become the singular Mizukage again, I guess, if at that point there isn't anyone stronger. What else would I do? Huh... Keep myself alive, I suppose."

    They weren't the clearest answers, but Raika was seemingly still answering truthfully enough, without much reason to even attempt to lie or deceive; one can't lie or deceive about plans that one doesn't have. The tone doesn't seem to intimidate or bother Raika, either, and she starts walking away again towards the gates of Kirigakure, although she's still under the truth-telling genjutsu even while she's walking away.

    "What do I fear? I don't ha- Hunger. I'm afraid of being hungry just like I was when I ate mommy and daddy."

    She suddenly stops in her tracks with one foot in the air, and about to take a step. Instead, she rotates on her back foot with her arm swinging out in a flurry of movement. Raika had only taken a few steps, but it wasn't quite far enough that her fist wouldn't reach. Still, she doesn't allow her fist to fully connect with his face, stopping mere centimeters from his left eye, close enough that he can see the muscles in her fingers and hand clenching with the desire to drive the entire fist through his skull. Despite that clearly being her desire, judging by the snarl on her face, she retracts her fist slowly and instead spits on his mask.

    "I dunno what you did to me, but if you do it to me again, you're gonna need that mask to stay on to cover up your missing jaw."

    Raika, of course, was still under Azrael's truth-forcing genjutsu, although she didn't know it; the fact that she said it made it quite clear that she meant it.

    A smile curled under his mask as Azrael listened to the woman's words, if she thought she could be the Mizukage perhaps there was hope for her after all. So much killing just to kill, would be pointless, killing to obtain something however, that was something and if her quest for power was like Azrael believed. Then she would make a good addition to the Nightmares, should his Master like her. Azrael would remain unmoved despite the dissatisfaction that she did not have a fear, and would instead make to punch him. Of course, her lack of fear was yet another indication of a Nightmare, and her reaction time would make her a decent fighter that could rival Blitz or Valen if she trained hard enough.

    Azrael's eye wouldn't even blink as her fist stopped centimeters from his face, instead a laughter would fill the woman's ears like the ringing of his earring as the Genjutsu faded away and with the Genjutsu fading so to did the Azrael she almost punched. With his Genjutsu over, Raika would see the real Azrael about six or seven meters further down the path from where she stood. "You have succeeded, Raika Ryuutei. You have no fear, you are ready to meet our Master. Come follow This One, we will show you the way." Azrael would begin shuffling off, his bell chiming with each step once again. Never and More would be heard cawing above the pairs head, as they went through the gates and head for the Kaguya clan district, where Azrael would introduce Raika to his Master. The Demon of Nightmares and the Embodiment of Death, Sero.

    Raika grunts when the genjutsu disappears, and she wipes her sweaty palms off in some dirt before she continues following Azrael down the road, her eyebrows still furrowed because of the fact that she was forced to reveal that kind of information about herself, but no longer in a violent mood for the moment. She follows the ringing of his bell earring, and despite her bad mood, her snarl is gone when she hears the two ravens cawing back and forth to one another, and she looks up at them as even the furrowing of her eyebrows gradually goes.

    At least she was going to be meeting Sero, and she wasn't under a genjutsu anymore. It didn't seem like Azrael had put her under the genjutsu with pure malignancy in mind, so she probably wouldn't even be mad at him once she reached the Kirigakure gates anyway. But she was certain that her threat was still understood.

    In any case, she was ready to meet Sero now. This might even be fun.
