Shizuka gives pointers.(Training Thread Pg-13 NDE)

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

"IF THATS THE CASE! THEN I'LL JUST KILL THE LITTLE FUCKING WEAKLING! ONCE! AND! FOR! ALL!!!

Shizuka covered her eyes as she laid down on the ground and felt the intense heat blaze over her body. She was too low to be hit, but when she opened her eyes, the space around her had partial flames. She was amazed that he would do such a thing. She thought he would be upset but she wanted to make it better. Instead, it just got worse. But what made her even more afraid wasn't even the pain she was in from falling or the flames around her. It was the fire that was standing still in front of her. The fire that took on the form of a human because it truly was a human. Shizuka looked straight at the face of the burning man and realized Zukarinkuari had set himself on fire! Was he an idiot? He had to be! What was he trying to prove, exactly? She had to stop this. She had to make sure he was okay. But she hurt so much.. It would be so hard to make sure everything was fixed again.

"Zuka-kun! You have to be kidding me! Why would you do that?" Shizuka screamed as she tried to get up.

She just barely managed to get herself on her knees and push the rest of her body up straight, but couldn't get her entire self to stand. She didn't even have much water left, but she knew she could refill the bucket immediately after it was empty. She just needed to hurry because time was running out. So, as best as she could, Shizuka raised her right arm as she held her gun, ignoring the discomfort it caused her from the pain of hitting the ground the way she had. She aimed it at Zukarinkuari, who was standing still and not even saying a word. That struck her as odd. It was as if he just wanted to feel every aspect of the pain he was enduring. A couple of tears fell from her eyes, and Shizuka wiped them away, questioning why they were even there. Perhaps she didn't want the two of them to die more than she thought. Perhaps the relationship they had was more important than that.

Her finger pressed on the trigger multiple times, sending out large blasts of water in Zukarinkuari's direction. She had to put out some of the surrounding fire, but she figured she would carry on with getting the flames off of her friend before she tried anything else. With each new pulse, more fire was taken away from Zukarinkuari's body. His clothes were charred and he looked like he was more hurt than he was expressing. Now, she knew he couldn't facially express anything. He had a mask on. But his body showed more emotion than anyone would have ever guessed it to. And right now, she saw nothing. Shizuka struggled to get up and kept shooting, but ran out of water pretty quickly. She had to use the pump to send more water from her bucket once it refilled, but that didn't take too long. Once more, she shot at her friend and managed to put flames out, even though he was getting drenched in the process. Fire continued to burn around them but wasn't spreading much, probably from the damp ground.

"Zuka-kun.. Listen to me!"

She knew she had to get through to him. Once she was sure the fire on his body was put out and no hot spots remained where something could potentially burn, Shizuka grabbed his arms and pushed him backwards on the ground, then sat on his stomach with one leg on either side of his body. Her hands held his shoulders down, and she made her he wouldn't be able to get up. She had to keep him there so he wouldn't do anything destructive. Katekarin would still try to stop Zukarinkuari from killing her, but other gases that could be used was always a possibility. She ignored it, though. Tears fell from her face into his mask when she realized she was crying again. She didn't mean to hurt him like she did. She just wanted him to try his best against her because she knew he could. She just wanted to make it up to him. Fire remained, surrounding the two of them as it crackled here and there. The smell of burning grass flew through the air as Shizuka tried to catch her breath. It was still hard for her to move.

"I didn't want to hurt you, Zuka-kun.. I wanted you to be able to control yourself! And it didn't work.. What I said at first, those were lies. Everything mean, it was all a lie! You know I care about you. You know that we're friends. Zuka-kun... You're like my brother. We're even closer than you think we might be," She said, pleading with his softer side. She needed him to listen. It was the only thing she could do.

It all burned. It burned so bad and so hot that even he would of been screaming in pain. But instead he just stood there and stared at Shizuka, with his vision soon about to go dim. His pain tolerance was good but that did not mean it was impossible for him to live through something that would normally kill him. Instead he could stand pain better. His remaining sight was on Shizuka, someone whom he had thought was his friend. Someone whom that he thought that he could trust. Someone whom was different than the people he has met in the world. Someone whom he willingly let himself open and allow her to see what he truly felt. And this is what she does in return? He sadly smiled as he knew he could no longer keep going.

"I.. can sleep" he softly said as even he closed his eyes to accept that this was death. Even if he would not of died a strong and in flames. He died knowing that he now has no one on this earth strong enough to save him. His body was damaged and he knew that it would take a long time to heal, but he did not care. He simply knew that he was dying. But that is when it hit him, another of the coldest blast he felt. The water had entrenched him in water and had put out the other fire around them. He tried to open his eyes and he could tiredly see that it was Shizuka whom had saved him. Shizuka whom had doused him in water, Shizuka whom would bring him down and hold him down. To make sure he did not hurt her, or himself anymore.

"Why..." he softly said as he was brought to the ground. She was on top of him and he was surprised that she would do such a thing. To him he felt that Shizuka was a lost cause, someone whom he could not trust any more. He had felt that his only friend was gone forever, and her she was. Saving his life yet again. Even if his arms were pinned he struggled to get his arm lose as he felt the patter of tears as they fell onto his gas mask. The tears pattered against the tinted orange as she cried.

"Zuka-kun.. Listen to me!"

"I didn't want to hurt you, Zuka-kun.. I wanted you to be able to control yourself! And it didn't work.. What I said at first, those were lies. Everything mean, it was all a lie! You know I care about you. You know that we're friends. Zuka-kun... You're like my brother. We're even closer than you think we might be,"

Those words fell on ears that were more than willing to listen to. He moved his arm and placed it on her face. Specifically on her cheek and rubbed it, trying to get a good look on her face. His hands would of been burned but he did not care about the pain. Instead he continued to rub her face. As he tried to speak, he opened his mouth and closed them again. Breathing in and out before he could get the strength to speak again. "Shizuka.. My savior.. My friend... My dear friend... My only friend." he said as tears would well in his eyes. How could of he tried to hurt someone like that? How could of he tried to do such terrible things. Instead of the joyous feeling of sadism, he felt the painful sting of regret as he tried to speak some more. "I'm sorry.. I did not mean to lose control. I did not want to hurt you. But why? .. Why would you say such things? I trusted you.. I trusted you.. And it looked like you threw it away. But.. it turned out to be lies. You never left my side and here you are trying to save me.. I'm so sorry.." if she listened closely Shizuka could hear soft sobs, and that he truly meant it. "I'm sorry.." he said as he began to cry.

[Zou ۞]

If it was training, it wouldn't have needed to be here in the battle zone. PvP is for the battle zone. Training would've been placed somewhere in the human world. Just for future reference.

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

Right. sorry Zou. Wont happen again.

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

"Shizuka.. My savior.. My friend... My dear friend... My only friend. I'm sorry.. I did not mean to lose control. I did not want to hurt you. But why? .. Why would you say such things? I trusted you.. I trusted you.. And it looked like you threw it away. But.. it turned out to be lies. You never left my side and here you are trying to save me.. I'm so sorry.. I'm sorry.."

"Zuka-kun.. I wanted you to be able to control when Katekarin could come out and when he couldn't. It would be better for you to be able to contain your destructive nature and counter it with Katekarin's careful attitude. I didn't want to make you angry.. I didn't want you to feel hurt or anything like that.. I should be saying sorry. It's my fault. I did this to you."

Shizuka glanced at Zukarinkuari's body and noticed the wet spots he had and all of the water on his clothes from when she put the fire out. He was completely soaked, and she started laughing at him through the tears she felt forming on her eyes. He was her friend, too. She hated the thought of losing him because of a mistake she made. Why would she destroy that in just a few seconds because of a couple simple, harsh words? It wasn't fair to him at all, and she knew it. She wanted him to know it. But she moved her arms back to be solid on his shoulders and keep him on the ground. Zukarinkuari was kind, too. She never realized it before, but he was. He cared about her. Probably in a different way than Katekarin, but he did. He just didn't know how to show it yet.

Shizuka rested her head on his chest for just a few seconds, whispering "I'm sorry" every now and again. She couldn't let him go, though. Not until she knew he was calmed down. He was still a bit frantic but it wasn't a harmful kind. She just couldn't let him hurt himself again. She knew he was already in pain, and she had to heal him. She needed to heal him. But she had to get his permission for it, which wouldn't be that hard. She hoped. She was just worried that he might refuse, thinking he deserved to feel this pain or something. But she could fix his skin. She could take away the burns and scars and cuts, everything. He just needed to let her. He had to say yes to her. She needed him to be okay again, and she couldn't stand thinking that he put himself through that because of her. It was her fault.

"Let me heal you. Please.." she begged, struggling to keep herself from crying, too.

Fullbring Stage 1: 7/10

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

"Zuka-kun.. I wanted you to be able to control when Katekarin could come out and when he couldn't. It would be better for you to be able to contain your destructive nature and counter it with Katekarin's careful attitude. I didn't want to make you angry.. I didn't want you to feel hurt or anything like that.. I should be saying sorry. It's my fault. I did this to you."

Zukarinkuari tried to smile knowing that she tried to do something that even he is not capable of doing. He continued to rub her face. "But Shizuka.. you know that will be impossible. No matter what, who I am is just hate. Anger, all into another personality. Even I know this.." he softly whispered. And this was true, regardless of whether Shizuka knew about his past. He as born when Katekarin tried to protect someone whom he was unable to. He offered to take over and that is what started this all. Its impossible to change Zukarinkuari without eliminating him from existence in the first place.

Shizuka placed her head on his chest for a while. Apologizing every now and then. He was filled with a strange feeling, when he was out he always felt this sick feeling. A feeling of anger and hate that he relished because that is what he was always exposed to. In reality through a perspective of a psychiatrist. Zukarinkuari is a mixture of Katekarins hidden anger, and rage and constant abandonment. All negative emotions placed into a simple personality that gave birth to Zukarinkuari. But this feeling, this feeling was a total new. A feeling that he had not came to understand, a feeling taht filled him with this strange warmth that he could not understand what it was. This feeling was an odd thing, it was nice and so calming. "Shizuka..." he softly said. "Let me heal you. Please.." all he did was simply nodded. "I accept.." he replied.

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

"You have to hurt me then. You have to make me bleed."

It was the only way Shizuka could make the liquid she needed. She knew it was a bit dangerous, especially since this was Zukarinkuari. But she couldn't draw the blood herself. If she did, it would just be destroyed when she drops it in the bucket to change the water. The person who hurt her had to be him. No one else was around, anyway. Once she got the blood, though, the drops that fell into the bucket would change the water into the liquid that could heal him. Since he didn't have any internal injuries, this would be perfect. His burns would heal and everything. Shizuka glanced back at his marks and frowned. He shouldn't have done that. He was stronger than he believed. But this was why she needed his permission. This was the reason. He had to make her bleed.

"You have to. Or else this won't work."

Shizuka carefully let go of his shoulders and moved off of Zukarinkuari's stomach so he had the ability to get up. Then she stood above him and helped him stand, too. The only thing she could hope was that he would make up his mind and decide to do what she needed him to do. Shizuka picked up her gun and leaned on it again, crossing her left foot over her right.

"Don't worry though, I'll be fine. Just hurry."

"You have to hurt me then. You have to make me bleed." he stepped back as he was helped up. He didnt know if he heard that right or if it was standing up to. He almost stuttered but kept his composition. "Did I hear you right? You want me to hurt you? To draw blood from you?" he was baffled by this. Zukarinkuari was not familiar with this kind of technique. "You have to. Or else this won't work." he thought about it. Hurting her after pretty much begging for forgiveness for attempting to take her life it would just go around in a circle. "A-Are you sure?"

"Don't worry though, I'll be fine. Just hurry." she leaned against her gun, this kind of request was odd because normally he would be more than happy to take someone elses blood. But this one he had many doubts on whether he should or not. But he knew that if he refused at that point she will hold it against him. He was reluctant but he picked up a rock, the rock was a bit edged and was good for drawing blood. He placed it on a part of her hand and made a small gash. Hoping that was enough. "Will this do?" he asked.

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

"Will this do?"

"Brilliant!"

Shizuka had flinched when he cut her hand, but he did just what he needed her to. And it was enough. She only needed a couple of drops, anyway. But now her plan would work. Shizuka ran over and grabbed her bucket, picking it up and pulling it back over to Zukarinkuari so he wouldn't have to move. He was too injured for her to even want to make him strain himself. When she set the bucket down near him, she glanced down at her hand one more time and watched the blood pool in her palm. Most people would get grossed out, she'd imagine. But it didn't bother her. It never really has. She held her hand in a fist over the bucket and squeezed, causing a few drops of blood to fall into the bucket. The water that was inside quickly changed colors into some brightly colored, purple liquid. It looked like the night sky, but instead of black and indigo, there was an entire spectrum of color all over the place.

She held up her gun next and pointed it at Zukarinkuari. She made sure she pumped the liquid inside of her gun first, then carried it with one hand as it aimed at his chest. That way, it would hit his torso first and run down the rest of his body so it could heal everything. His face and head weren't damaged because of his gas mask, so Shizuka was extremely grateful for that. Once she pulled the trigger, she didn't stop for a while and kept an eye on her bucket. There was still only fifty gallons of this stuff, and she wanted him to use all of it. So she continued pulling the trigger and allowing giant blasts of the elixir to cover his body so the wounds began disappearing. Luckily, he didn't have any internal damage. This stuff could only heal everything on the outside and give him a bit of stamina since the pain was gone.

"There. Is that better?" She asked as she'd just finished the last bit.

"Brilliant!" Zukarinkuari heard Shizuka reply as she grabbed her bucket. The wound that he had caused had caused a pool of blood to form in her hand. And from there she had the blood go into the bucket. The water that was inside quickly changed colors into some brightly colored, purple liquid. It looked like the night sky, but instead of black and indigo, there was an entire spectrum of color all over the place.

She then proceeded to fire it at him. The liquid coursed on his body as the burns that he suffered went away. All of the wounds that should of hurt him severely was no longer there. He looked at her and felt odd about this. "There. Is that better?" he simply nodded. Yeah.... that feels better." he replied.

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

"Can you promise me not to do that again? Being self-destructive is so last season."

The liquid disappeared from within Shizuka's bucket, signaling she had used all of it up. She expected to, anyway. She wanted to make sure his wounds had been healed completely. The burns looked as if they'd never even been there in the first place, which meant any pain he felt and failed to express was gone, as well. That was good. Shizuka was already trying to make sure he was okay from her insults and whatnot that she'd said to him before. She knew it was rude, and she felt more than a little bit guilty. She was naturally a nice person, if not a little bit eccentric. She just wanted him to be able to control his abilities. And he could, just not to the extent that he would ever want to. She was aware of his small amount of ego and low self-esteem. But there wasn't quite anything she could do at the given moment.

"Hey, Zukarinkuari, want some tea?"

Shizuka smiled as she glanced down to her bucket, and she knew her Fullbring was about to reach its limit of activation time. But the bucket filled with a green-ish brown liquid that smelled of leaves and other herbs. It was a brilliant flavor of tea, though probably not Zukarinkuari or Katekarin's favorite. She felt bad about that, but there was nothing she could do if she didn't know what their favorite tea was. She only lacked cups and a table, but she knew that her friend would have them. He always had them on him at some point, as strange as that would be. However, she couldn't complain. She cared about the two of them. She wanted to make up for her harsh words that she'd said before.

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

"Can you promise me not to do that again? Being self-destructive is so last season." Zukarinkuari would hear Shizuka telling him. He had not decided to speak yet and merely nodded when she had told him that. He watched as the liquid in the bucket would disappear, which he would guess that what she was doing was done. The liquid that he had been sprayed with had caused the burns he had sustained when he had tried to kill himself in a poor and desperate move to kill the one whom he had felt was making him weak. That limiter that he had felt that was holding him back from fulfilling many of his goals. The personality that prevented him from taking the life of many others because he felt that they were just mere obstacles in the way. He nodded once more in an understanding that he was feeling better.

The forest around them had long been extinguished and that they were sitting in the center of a blackened section of the forest. Which was scorched by the fire previous before, the spot was not too large but it was fairly noticeable from their perspective. As a result they were sitting in the middle of a forest by his home, and he was drenched in his strait jacket which he still loved because it brought back memories. He merely looked around before observing Shizuka.

"Hey, Zukarinkuari, want some tea?" this question was odd in itself. And even though they shared the same body, he did not think of himself as finding tea as appealing as Katekarin. He saw Shizuka smile and glance at the bucket as well, the bucket would soon fill with a greenish brownish liquid which had the very smell of tea herbs and various other spices. It was tea, but not the special family recipe that he knew Katekarin knew and loved very much. But that did not stop him, they shared the same body. That would mean that they would have the "same taste" and it was odd as well. But it was wrong too, he simply shook his head. But what Shizuka felt was right, he walked to a tree about to the left of their position and removed a brown suit case. "He thought we would drink tea afterwards. But he did not expect what happened to happen... But ehh why not, we can use these cups. But I feel tea was never my thing." he replied. Putting down the case and removing the cups from the suit case. "Heh... the tea also doesnt look like what Katekarin would love. But the thought counts." he replied.

He looked at her as he sat down again. "While it has been a long time.. old friend. Since we met, you havnt gotten my history yet. Have you? Ever wonder what caused Katekarin to become whom he is right now? We share the same body, and memory. I can look into it and tell you the events that lead up to who he is and why he is doing it." this was an offer to let her in on why he was so "disconnected" from people. And refused to talk to new people. This was also another way to show her why he did what he did before and his birth. "heh.. well? Believe it or not, but I enjoy telling a good story. And this ones got a few twists and what not." he said.

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

Shizuka smiled shyly at Zukarinkuari's mention of the tea and how he wouldn't drink it, or even Katekarin, for that matter. It wasn't her fault that she didn't know the secret recipe or whatever ridiculousness that was! She figured it wasn't a great idea to obsess over it, though. Well, who would've known, right? Katekarin never shared the information with her on what kind of tea it was. And she didn't expect Zukarinkuari to be all that open about it either, to be honest. But it was the thought that counted at some point. Maybe now, maybe later, she didn't know. But it counted. Shizuka glanced around with a sorry expression on her face. Sorry, because she saw the trees and destruction Zukarinkuari caused. Now, she knows what someone might be thinking. Shouldn't she include herself in that mess? No, not really. She simply used water to fight. Water doesn't make things blow up, last time she checked.

"While it has been a long time.. old friend," Zukarinkuari said, grabbing Shizuka's attention. "Since we met, you haven't gotten my history yet. Have you?"

"Well, not really. I mean, I could easily guess what might have happened to you because of where I found you, but..."

She trailed off. It was really interesting to find out where he was from and what his life was like. He was basically twice as old as she was, so he had to have many more stories than she could ever produce in her own mind. Shizuka did love stories, after all. And the bunch that she had were probably outweighed by the horrors he had to face. She couldn't even imagine what might have happened that made Zukarinkuari appear and take control of Katekarin... But, now that she thought about it, which one of them was more dominant? Who actually came first? She knew that technically Katekarin did, but was he the real person controlling the body, or who the body belonged to? It was fascinating, really. Shizuka had always wanted to do some mental experiments and discover who actually took control more often and handled affairs the most. Because, to be honest, she was sure it was truly Zukarinkuari.

"Ever wonder what caused Katekarin to become who he is right now? We share the same body and memory. I can look into it and tell you the events that led up to who he is and why he is doing it."

He was going to willingly share this information with her? Shizuka thought about it. Did she really want to know any painful experiences these two poor people, locked in the same body and soul, had to go through in order to free themselves? It was so confusing. Shizuka had never dealt with anything like this before, and she was unsure of herself. While she was close with both of them and wanted to stay their friend, what if she found out Zukarinkuari was more deadly and dangerous than she ever would have imagined? Perhaps he was some sort of serial killer or even worse, though she wasn't sure what exactly might be worse than a serial killer.. But it might exist. And that could be him. He might even turn on her one day.. He always said he was in debt to her, that she was his savior. But everything was a bit hazy. Shizuka filled the cups Zukarinkuari brought to her and deactivated her powers.

"Heh.. Well? Believe it or not, but I enjoy telling a good story. And this one's got a few twists and whatnot."

"Well, sure. Let's hear it, then."

What did she just get herself into?

(IC)


He noticed that she was looking around, probably saddened about the destruction that he had caused to the forest in an attempt to end her life. But he did not feel sorry for the forest. But he could see that she was sorry to the forest for what Zukarinkuari had done to the forest. But he knew just what to say about a forest, and this is very true. "A Forest.... Can take abuse, horrible winds,storms, and fires. Those that survive are scarred but will continue to grow stronger. These trees will continue to grow stronger and stronger. Dont worry about them." he said. Zukarinkuari. And he listened to her reply when he had asked if she had gotten his history after they had met.

"Well, not really. I mean, I could easily guess what might have happened to you because of where I found you, but..."
But? He wondered what she saw him as, exactly. While he did owe her, he wondered what type of person that she truly saw him. He guessed that it was destructive, but it was not his fault. He had a very explosive temper and he couldnt handle stress very well. Well Katekarin couldnt handle stress, but its the same person. Regardless of whether he can accept that he was nothing but a personality that was trapped in a brain.

"Heh.. Well? Believe it or not, but I enjoy telling a good story. And this one's got a few twists and whatnot."

"Well, sure. Let's hear it, then." He grinned under his gas mask. And proceeded to remove his gas mask, the familiar hiss occurred as he slowly removed the straps that held his gas mask to his face. When he had removed his gas mask a confident grin, or better yet what would describe the type of grin Zukarinkuari gave would be more of a "friendly" feroscious grin. Which would only be accompanied by a small laugh. No one really knows what caused him to laugh. But what really made him laugh, was that he was capable of telling a story. "The last time I told my lifes story... It was to a bitchy reporter. Hahaha I ended up gassing her and the guard to my cell to death" he laughed. "The look on her face was glorious." When he had "calmed" himself down he proceeded to tell her his story. His voice sounded the same, still metallic and as if he wore a vizards mask. But it was much clearer instead of it being distorted by the gas mask.

"I was born from a rich Japanese family. Both were prominent business people and had a large influence on others during that time. At birth I was like every other child. Little did I know what had happened to my mother before my birth. Why I am like this, why I was forced to have all these things happen to me. Because of what happened to my mother while I lay in her womb being nurtured. Because of what happened to my mother ended up with me becoming this. I was branded a freak by society. It was not until my later teen years that I know what I had." he looked around again and continued to process his thoughts. It was a long time since he had talked about his history it was still jumbled. He wound continue on wards though.

"And it is during that age my mother... Or better yet. Katekarin's mother would drill a thought into his head. A type of "command" that he would remember through out that age until his teen years when it became hazy and fuzzy. For that childhood memory I merely ran around the house and smiled and laughed and did everything a normal child could grow up to be. My mother or... his mother, believed in a philosophy. She always believed that violence was never the answer and that it was not worth killing someone regardless of what happened. It stuck with me my entire life. Because she was someone who had a big impact on it, she also said that violence should only be used when you absolutely need to, when it comes to a choice always subdue the person that is threatening you. Not to kill them, being so young I believed this. That as not until later in my life when that philosophy began to become blurry and I began to doubt it." he grew silent once more as he continued to process his memory. He sighed and continued on with speaking his history as he watched Shizuka, these pauses were also meant for her to add in what she thought of what he had spoken.

"His memory would skip forward to his 8th year in school. And he was running late for class, he ran and ran his fastest and hardest. But he would soon stop for a girl, a girl whose beauty and complexion was strong enough to cause him to stop. Hahaha she was smiling with her light colored skin, with a smooth complexion. She appeared as if she was made from plastic. She appeared to be a bit older than him yet she still attended his school. Dumbfounded he stood there gazing at her. And as a result of this behavior, she beckoned him to come over. This girl would soon become the love of his life. . . and sadly that would end sooner than what he had hoped. Her name was Kimi. He couldnt believe it but she was the same age as he was. And they became good friends." he grew silent again for a few minutes. Breathing in and out before he looked at her again. "Thats right... you dont know whom this "Kimi" person is. Haha let me explain it to you. She was someone I cared for. Someone that made all time and space seem to go to a stand still. I felt amazing whenever I was with her and that I felt like I could do anything in the world because of this. The day after I met her we spoke often. Years later we became very close, going to places at night. Movies, places to eat, anywhere, as long as we were together we were happy. That was until I came out, where I took everything away from him. Everything... hahaha I did take everything away from him." he looked away again before continuing his story.

"After a few months that they have met, Katekarin would grow the strength to ask the young girl to the movies. and maybe dinner, he was an adolescent boy of about the age of 15. And he knew the best place to watch movies and eat dinner after the movie. Things went well as she would soon accept his invitation to the movies and dinner. After the movie and the dinner they would soon become pray to a local gang that prayed on weak people. That night I guess they saw that those two were good targets. But they were dead wrong." he growled. Suddenly his eyes widened up and he clutched his head in sheer pain or agony, simple despair or just sadness. But what ever he was expressing, it showed that this memory in particular heavily affected Katekarin. His breathing stuttered as he continued to try and process his thoughts. ”T-They did h-horrible things to her.. Horrible things that hurts to remember.. Horrible things to her..” it was Katekarin whom momentarily stuttered. After a few moments he gathered his thoughts. ”hehehe… Don’t mind him. You get how emotional he can be.” Zukarinkuari growled. ”Hehehe… Now where was I? Oh yeah! Hahah the night I came to manifest myself as whom I am today. After the dinner and the movie, we were walking home. The girl took this time to admire the stars in the sky and talk to Katekarin. Little did they know that they were being stalked, and at that time the gang took the opportunity to strike. Grabbing Katekarin and the rest did lewd things to the girl. There were 4, 1 had Katekarin and 3 were free to do as they wish. She screamed in pain an agony while he could do nothing but shout back. Finally the man grew tired of this all and chose to silence him. While he was out.. Heheheh.... I was given the chance to be released. And with that, I used his own feelings against him. I promised to protect her, and protect her I did. Because they had brought along a weapon, an edged blade in order to kill us once they were done. Once this became clear I took that advantage against them and chose to break free and disarm him. Being of that stature was hard to do that action. It was me whom had little restraint that made it possible. Once that occurred, the sight of blood made me want to make them bleed more and more. The girl ran to return the next morning. Hahahaha.... The look on her sight when she "greeted" her savior. She screamed "MONSTER! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!" and ran!" he mocked. "This devastated the young one whom he would allow his own life to fall apart in front of his very eyes. Nightmares and constant haunting that I had caused." he replied. Again he would go silent for a few minutes. Staring at Shizuka before he would continue on wards.

"The next part is not much to say. He joined the Police Academy and has been given the very gas mask we wear today. It was gifted to him by his grandfather along with a trench coat which is still in his closet. There we learned the martial arts that we have knowledge of today. Still not much to talk about, but it was afterwards that would be the few straws that would make Katekarin break. Trust me, this is why he is like that. After the academy, he was out onto the store to get some groceries. It was the same city that was near his hometown. But after he had bought his groceries he would be greeted with the very same sight that he had been subjected to so many years ago. A group of men trying to force themselves onto a young girl. remembering this put him under a lot of stress. And stress meant it was easy for me to take over. With that, I forced him to drop all of his groceries and had picked up the nearest blunt object which happened to be a lead pipe and walk down the corridor or alley and struck down the strongest which looked like the leader. The men dropped the girl and proceeded to defend their boss, the years in the academy had awarded me, or us. With the knowledge of Aikido and Wingchun and with that knowledge they were quickly disposed of. Brutally beaten to death. Instead of running, the girl watched. Before thanking Katekarin. She followed him home where they grew very close. In the end, her life was lost in an accident. One where it got us sent to where you an I would meet." he stopped again before looking at her to see what she thought of what happened. After a while he would continue on wards to the final stretch.

"When he was thirty, the girl whose name we just learned was Ann had moved in with him. there we learned of her talent on being capable of analyzing things with ease, even without the need to touch it. She worked in a bank as a teller, often working in the night shift. In a particular night, her coworker was an insider for a group whom had planned to rob the bank. She unlocked the door and allowed them to come in. But in their confidence and stupidity had forgotten the silent alarm. Immediately those who were tasked with heading to the bank rushed there. Among those were Katekarin. Panicked they took Ann hostage. With much reluctance the robbers were allowed to leave. Weeks later, they found the body of Ann. Her body was horribly mutilated, decayed and there were clear signs that she was bound and raped. The person whom had found the body first. Was none other than Katekarin. He got onto his knees, too disgusted to hold onto the corpse but too horrified to look away. Instead he merely started to cry." with that said tears would develop in his eyes, few would drop across his cheeks and onto the ground. He didnt cry but only grin. "even Remembering now, causes him great pain." he said to Shizuka before going silent.

"Because of that. I was "given" free reign to do what I please. And for that I hunted down the ones that had caused all of this. Not for pity, but for revenge and the chance to kill someone with my own hands yet again. The first guy, really pissed me off." he grinned. "We found him n an abandoned warehouse, the glass windows were shattered and the musty smell of rotting food filled the air. With this we placed our gas masks on and entered the building. The first thing we see is a sleeping hooker on a cheap, sleazy couch. The tv was blasted and the man couldn't hardly believe who he was. Katekarin lost his temper immediately angrily asking why he did that, and in a response the old man got up and grinned. He was fat and going bald but he spoke with a smug attitude. I remember what he said to me... "I killed her because she wouldn't shut up! She was a slut, she blew every guy that was with us. So we gave her what she wanted, she screamed some guys name. That must be you, Help me. Help me. HAHAHA" with this I was given permission to kill them. Which is what I did, I gassed them to death including the hooker. With that we discovered we had potential.." he grew silent once again. He watched Shizuka, with that he drank a few sips of tea. Showing that even his body knew this was not the right tea. But continued to drink it. "The rest is history. I hunted down the next two and gassed them to death the same as the first. But the final target wasn't there. Instead I was arrested by my former colleagues and friends and the police. I was sent to prison on terms of insanity and would of been there for life. Instead... You broke me out, and my. . . or Our lives. Were forever changed. The rest, is history." he finally stopped as he would place his gas mask back onto his face. His voice again distorted and muffled by the gas mask but still sounding the same. "Hehehe... Now you know." he finally said. "Now you know my life."

[Shizuka Sanamizu ✮]

Shizuka listened intently to her friend as he explained his story. Everything seemed so new to her. So foreign. Almost nothing made sense, but she was still somewhat entertained. It's just that he seemed like he had such a terrible childhood and life growing up until now. How did he make it by? How could he deal with it? Nothing touched her brain. Nothing touched the nerves that could possibly explain everything she just took in. It was... strange. To say the least. He was strange. But something about him drew her closer. She was interested. She wanted to learn more. And as he went on about his history, she got to learn exactly what she'd wished to all this time. She learned everything. His past, present, and even part of his future, whether he knew about it or not. Zukarinkuari was mysterious, for sure. But when he wanted to be open about something, he was sweet and gentle. Not murderous and harsh.

"That as not until later in my life when that philosophy began to become blurry and I began to doubt it."

"Wait.. That's just how everyone is supposed to live. I don't know if it were really Katekarin doubting it. I think you were there from the beginning. But tell me more."

". . . Her name was Kimi. He couldnt believe it but she was the same age as he was. And they became good friends." Zukarinkuari began. Shizuka looked at him questioningly. "Thats right... you dont know whom this "Kimi" person is. Haha let me explain it to you. She was someone I cared for. Someone that made all time and space seem to go to a stand still. I felt amazing whenever I was with her and that I felt like I could do anything in the world because of this. The day after I met her we spoke often. Years later we became very close, going to places at night. Movies, places to eat, anywhere, as long as we were together we were happy. That was until I came out, where I took everything away from him. Everything... hahaha I did take everything away from him."

"I'm so sorry.."

That must've started it. Shizuka listened intently to the rest of the story as he so freely told it to her. She learned about this girl, she learned about how Kimi ditched Katekarin, and she learned how Zukarinkuari was truly a savior in himself. But he didn't believe it. How could he not? He was a good person. But he couldn't feel it. He couldn't believe it. So Shizuka patted him on the back a few times and allowed him to finish. She was speechless. She had no idea that was how he was born. She didn't understand it at all. She didn't know about multiple personalities or any kind of disorder of the brain. She wanted to help but didn't know how, and everything was just a blur to her. But she knew one thing. She cared for him. She wanted to care for him. He was her friend, and he was important to her.

"I still don't understand, but I can make a few guesses to my questions. I won't bother asking. But I know you're a good guy. You always have been. You just... don't really know what to do with it, I think."
