"What are you saying? That even if Toshi does recover, you'll continue to keep her here?" Yuu wasn't all too sure if that's what Ira was saying. He hoped it wasn't the case.

[Kaguya]

Ira nodded remaining layed back and calm about the matter "That is exactly what I am saying" her voice was calm about the matter, in her mind Toshi was safe here, she couldn't be harmed or be used as a lab rat if what she was, was indeed found out

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu quickly stood up, surprised from how the seemingly innocent girl was going to keep Toshi without asking what Toshi wanted. Though it gave him a sharp jab when he remembered how he had attempted to kill Ai despite how Toshi felt, and now he felt terrible for it. He shook his head, but he felt slightly fearful of the situation, "No, let Toshi decide what she wants. If you try to force her..."

Once again, he saw a random flash of being somewhere else. He had a stronger sensation of actually being there, standing in a room and watching as one tengu slaughtered another, and he was even fed information about how they were forced to do it. He could clearly see their faces this time, and was brought back to where he was from the shock of what he saw and the information he received. His eyebrows furrowed and he glared coldly at the girl, "...If you try to force her, bad things will happen."

[Kaguya]

ira kept her eyes closed as the Yuu spoke "bad things will happen to her if she leaves..." her voce was as cold as yuu's stare but low as not to wake her sleeping children. Quickly she sat up and looked to him "How can you protect her when you are afraid of others like you?" she stood and walked off beconing him to follow

she sat in a cooler part of her home where they couldn't be heard "How can I trust some one with her safty, when they harm themself when they get scared?" she leaned back against the tree "How do I know you will do everything in your power including dying to make sure she doesn't recieve true death, be sealed or used as some lab experiment?" her voice showed she herself was very attatched to toshi and would do anythin to keep her safe even go against toshi's wants

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

He was inflicted with doubt about himself again, and he cursed at himself for having a weak heart. However, without a second thought he had taken on his tengu form and pulled his sword out, holding it in front of her face. He growled, "You are no better than the others." Then he swept his sword down diagonally at her, attempting to slice her into two.

[Kaguya]

Brought her hand out and caught the blade's tip before it could do any harm "I am not like the others... I could argue, you are like the humans that tried to burn my forest down" she sighed and let the blade go shaking her head she fased into the tree behind her

"You are naïve... that blade is never to be drawen in anger, perhaps she misjudged you" her voice seemed sad as she spoke "with actions like that you are more likely to get her killed than protect her" with that vies came fourth to bind him, the where loose enough to be comfortabe but tight enough that he couldn't move

coming out of the tree she took the sword from him and with tenderness placed it back in it's scabard "You have never used ancestral blade have you Lord Yuu" she looked at the sword "Twenty five fully grown warriors and not one of you have came forth to show him disipline or understanding" she sounded like a scolding mother, the blade gave off a dull glow as an apology

her eyes went to Yuu "You can have this back when you learn what you need to protect her... then I can feel safe enough to let her go knowing she has a strong guardian and friend" with that the vines released and Ken'ochi would be standing beside him woith a smile "only a fool attacks without knowing who their opponent is" he chuckled slightly

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Unfortunately Yuu's mind was entangled between his instincts and parts of his regained memory, causing most of the lecture to go unheard. Then, a black mist-like appendage came forth from Yuu's chest, quickly taking the shape of a shadowy arm. It slid out, and the rest of it followed and finally came out, hunched over and breathing heavily as though it had just ran. The thing looked like a more grotesque and twisted version of Yuu; its clothes tattered and torn, the mask had various cracks and distortions in it, and randomly all over its body were wing-like appendages and tendrils squirming about. The whole body wavered every now and then like mist naturally would before regaining the physical form, making it seem unstable.

The original Yuu fell to the ground shortly after, though his mind would now be in the monster that came out of him. More and more memories flooded back, of how he had wiped his village clean of all the living tengu he could find, and a few other memories that seemed to be out of place. He was intoxicated with the thought of taking out the ones before him as he stood up straight.

At his side were two sheaths, his hand moved to slide one sword out. The sword whipped around like a cat's tail before straightening out and then grew various sets of gnashing mouths, sharing the same desire to draw out blood from many victims. Then this sword was swung at the man standing not too far from him.

((Ken'ochi vs. Yuu, round 1! DING DING! x'D))

[Kaguya]

Ken'ichi seen the changes that where happening and stepped back once to allow room for the change "Ira I believe it best you cut this part of the forest off" His voice was calm as he watched Yuu's transformation his eyes didn't look at him in disgust but in pity "What did they force you to become Yuu?" he was saddened by the image in front of him, he knew no one's spirit could twist this badly unless it had been tortured

seeing Yuu swipe down Ken'ichi moved to the right evading the blades with the greatest of ease, he shook his head as a sigh came from his lips "Who where you then?" all he wanted to do was evade, he didn't want to harm him not that he trully could he was weaponless "Who are you now?" he continued to ask questions hoping to get a reply so this could end without him recieving final death or Yuu dying for his first death "Who do you want to be?" although these three questions would normally be easy to answer, but in his unstable state he was unsure if it would do more harm than good

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

A hiss came from behind the mask, and then a groan and crackling noise when he tried to use his voice. Yuu took a step forward unsteadily as though he had lost his sense of balance, and then appeared as though he was never unsteady. His head tilted to the side, staring at Ken'ichi in an awkward position, "..My previous, Nobuo.. My present, Yuu.. My want.." He trailed off, thinking about how to answer the last question. He was now back on the level where he could comprehend more things, but his heart and desire were still a distorted mess, much like his outward appearance, "..Neither and both." Yuu didn't completely understand what he was saying at that time, but his desire still remained to spill blood, and Ken'ichi was his current target. He raised his sword and dashed forward, bringing the sword up diagonally at his prey.

[Kaguya]

Dodged once more by jumping up in the tree "You are distorted... because you do not know your want" his voice was rash as he jamp down behind him "You are a danger to yourself being unstable like this... so how could you protect my daughter?!" his voice showed he was concerned about this matter

his hand pointed to his sleeping child "She is the most precious thing in this world to me... you need to be able to control your rage, your anger or you will likely be the one to give her, her final death" he once again showed no intentions to attack "She cares for you... you should feel that"

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu's head tilted to the other side, then turned to look where Ken'ichi was pointing at, though he didn't know why Ken'ichi was going on about Toshi's protection. He had no recollection of ever meeting Toshi anywhere since there was no room for positive memories aside from the ones where he took joy in destroying things, and thus was his curse to become a savage creature who was unhindered by memories or emotions, "Care? Protect? I know neither.." his head turned to face Ken'ichi once more.

However, the Yuu that was lying on the ground started to move and pushed himself up, and an overwhelming feeling of something dangerous happening around him had smashed into him. It was the same feeling he got when the village was attacked, and all he could think of doing was fleeing. Yuu scrambled up to his feet and ran over to Toshi's side and shook her, "Toshi! We have to.." He stopped, thinking about Toshi's condition and the fact that she wouldn't be able to run. He picked Toshi up, cradling her in his arms and started running.

Neither Yuu would see the other, but the dark Yuu wouldn't care that one of his targets was now floating away since he could always follow and kill her later. A smile spread under his mask, delighted at the thought that he would enjoy Ken'ichi's anger and despair before killing him ((dis pear!! x'D)), "She can run, but I will find her."

[Kaguya]

A female appeared infront of the darker-side of yuu her eyes narrowed her amethyest eyes slightly, she had deep blue almost black hair it was easy to tell she was Tengu, by the duel swords she weilded at her left side. Her garments where a golden crimson kimono. She was was in her Tengu form but wore no mask "You are an idiot!" her left hand raised and moved to slap him across his cheek

"Yes you have felt pain... yes those so called superiors done things to you... they did things to me!" she shook slightly saying it "I didn't almost die to protect your mother so you could be turned into a monster" her hands clenched so tight blood ran from the palms of her hands. Ken'ichi wanted to comfort his wife but he knew better than to get involved in such affairs and so faded into the sword once more

"Your mother wasn't a marked as you where so thought to believe... she was a priestess, the next in line to control the tribe you were ment to be born into... the tribe I was almost married into" she closed her eyes "I don't know why but the head priestess of every tribe was experimented on while we where pregnant... I lost the child I was carrying because of it, I tried to protect your mother... but failed" a tear ran down her face as she looked to the ground "Anyone who was experimented on or was born from someone who was experimented on have unusual colored eyes as well as abilitys and issues they didn't expect" she looked to him "You are our vengence, our anger and dispair channled into you" her eyes went to where her own daughter had been

"You and she are the only ones left, she is not strong enough or prepared enough to deal with this world.." she moved closer to Nobuo and moved the mask up "You are the only one that can protect her from those who would want to do the same terrible things they done to us and to you..." she leaned in "They will never understand you and thus will either try and kill you or experiment further to find out how to control you both" her words where so quiet

Toshi opened her eye slightly as she was shook but didn't say a word, her eye closed once more she was exhausted and drained, although when she was picked up she currled into yuu and began to chant in her sleep

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Yuu stopped, confused by what the new figure was talking about. He looked around and saw no other marked in the area and she seemed to interact with thin air, though he listened to her. As it carried on, he felt depressed that she was saying that this other person was the only that could protect her, whom he assumed was Toshi. He knew he wasn't the best person to protect anything, but to have someone say that a different person was the only one who was capable of protecting the one person he wanted to protect was something that made his heart sink. He trembled, and then put Toshi back down on the ground.

Nobuo wasn't aware of his true purpose, but would seem to agree on the words since he did highly enjoy slaughtering the normal tengu and ended up letting the marked run unscathed. There was no reasoning behind it other than the feeling of what he wanted to do. So in the end, he ended up protecting someone unknowingly. His hand went up to his mask, "To protect the victims and destroy the rest.. I understand." He spread his wings, ready to take flight so he could go on slaughtering the people who may do wrongs towards them.

[Kaguya]

The woman caught his hand before he coult take flight "You need to live within yourself Nobuo... staying out for long periods of time will harm you both" her hand pointed to Yuu "Now go back inside and try and behave... you will eventually have to come to the realization that you are weaker like this and will eventually have to meld with one another, to become a compleate being" her words where gentle

by now Yuu would be able to see his otherself thanks to the chant Toshi had been saying in her sleep "Hello Yuu" the woman said "I am guessing you heard everything I said" of course this was more a retorical question "Nobuo here is part of you, the hate, anguish and fear of all marked and those who where experimented on" she looked down "I am sorry we done this to you... we where still children ourselves and had no idea" she bowed low to Yuu

"You trully are the only one that can protect her from both Humans and Tengu... she knew this and thus why you where given the sword of her family" she stood and walked to him taking Nobuo with him "Nobuo here is your strength, your will your power..." she turned to Nobuo "Yuu is your kindness, compassion, your heart" she moved them beside one another "one without the other is weak, you will get yourself killed and my daughter, which I will not tolorate!" her words where stearn and demanded obedience

"I couldn't care less if you want to be seperate and just train together so you understand each others strengths and weakness's..." she paused for a second "but if anything happens to my daughter, no ability in this universe will stop me from giving you both a slow, painful and truthful death" her eyes went a deep purple as she spoke showing her more dominant Tengu side, showing this wasn't a threat but a promise

"Though from what I have seen you have began to merge, it is slow but it has started" she looked to Yuu with a smile "Thank you for standing up against Ai to protect her" her hand touched his a moment later she removed her hand "A gift, the wounds you've done or others have done to your hands are now healed" with that she vanished leaving them be once more

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

Everything was all so sudden. Yuu was no longer depressed now that he had knowledge that she was referring to him, but now that was replaced with terror. He was petrified staring at this other part of himself, and couldn't move himself to utter anything or scream at the ghastly sight. And, unfortunately for Yuu, Nobuo took an interest in Yuu after gaining the ability to see him and moved closer to inspect Yuu, considering Yuu as merely a clone-like extension of himself since he assumed they shared the same memories but held different sides of the heart. Yuu collapsed to his knees, shaking as he sat on the ground, but as he touched the ground Nobuo seemed to melt into Yuu's shadow and vanished, "That was my inner demon? I don't want to deal with it!" Yuu curled down and his forehead touched the ground, his forearms hid his face as he sobbed, "I can't deal with it.."

[Kaguya]

((I havz an idea :D))

The woman appeared once more and curled her arms around the shaking and sobbing Yuu "Everyone has their inner demons, dear one" she rocked him gently as to comfort him "You must remember you are not alone you have myself, my husband, his ancestors and of course Toshi" her words tried to soothe him but she was unsure of how it was working

"I wanted to tell you something..." she closed her eyes and took a deep breath "As I said before you are not marked... Kaito on the other hand is" she opened her eyes "He is the son of the woman you believed to be your own mother..." she sighed a little "He raped that woman and two children where born... one boy one girl, the girl was dull in color as you would expect from a marked but the boy wasn't... he was vibrent in color and was adopted by your father as a 'pure'" she hugged him a little tighter as she spoke

"You wondered why you where treated diffrently even by the marked and now you know..." she didn't want him to be wondering anymore, it was about time he knew the truth "The young generation where all fed lies... the 'marked' are captured slaves of other races and clans... ther was no tricks played on the clan you come from..." she looked down at the earth "If there was any trick it was on the Priestess's of the six major Tengu clans" her voice was filled with pain as she spoke

"We where all to give birth to a child, three of us to boys and the other three to girls, they where then to be paired and trained to do something terrible, the girls where more spiritual, where the boys where more physical... they both held a lot psycic and magic..." she let go of him

"More than what they anticipated and couldn't control what where to be their weapons, one died before birth... my son... they strapped me down and made me watch as they disected and mutulated him before finally burning him... one other boy and the three girls where all murdered infront of their mothers, the same thing happened as it did to me" she hugged herself as she spoke, it was a horrid time for her to remember "You where more timid and so they didn't kill you but to hide the experimentations they did by hiding you in the marked and killing the priestess's... they almost killed me as I said as I tried to protect your mother, but I was found by my husband... your mother I know was killed I felt the pain of her death" tears fell from sorrow filled eyes

"Yuu, you are paired with my dear Toshi... whenever you feel like you are going to be consumed by Nobuo, just remember she is the light at the end of the tunnel and that will bring you back... You are special to her and she will never let you face anything by yourself" she leaned him and kissed his forehead lightly, hoping he understood everything that was said

----------------------------------------------------

Ai looked around the JadeLeaf Teahouse as he felt a large burst of energy "Only my sister could of pulled a spell like that off" her voice hissed as he looked to his companion "On the bright side of things.." a smirk came to his face "My sister will be too weak to travel and if I know her she would be in Midosi forest" he sounded rather smug as he took a sip of his tea "So tell me Kaito san... Why do you torture Yuu kun so?" he was curious as to what pleasure he got from doing so
