This chapter is written in Yza's perspective. Play the song in the media again until the chapter ends.

I'm floating in darkness. All I can see is darkness. Yet, a soft, sweet voice is calling out in my mind.

"Yza..."
"Yza..."
"Yza..."

It's saying my name? It feels warm... And gentle... Almost like... Ruki- ...
Her voice...
The one thing keeping me afloat as I sit on this bed of hurt...

My life's repeating again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.

Everything shattered after Maxios left.

My whole life was destroyed, and I hid away...

Behind him... That man in the mirror... The one that isn't me.

Kinjuzo Takami...

That feeling to want to destroy the world itself that day.... is the same day... I lost everything.

Maxios went to the military and left me and mom after dad died.

Rukia left to transfer schools.

Me and mom were now in poverty.

That feeling taking over me, that uncontrollable rage that burnt inside and took over me. I can remember so clearly... The day I fought so many boys in my class, and beaten them till they were bruised.

P.E was the worst time. If I heard someone talk behind my back... I'd take the bat in my hand... And slam it against their head, knocking the, out. And with my studs, I'd kick against their head until it started to bleed and bruise.

That red and purple released my unrelenting anger.

Why did people talk behind each other's back?

I had no one to go to anymore...

So many hopeless nights spent alone at the house while my mom was at work.

So many unneeded detentions and rumours.

That helplessness and neglect while you don't have anyone to turn to.

I didn't want to worry mom or pull anyone that remained close to me into my messed up life.

I wanted to destroy this world for being so unforgiving.

Like always...
I was lost and was crying my heart out.

I was scared that I was dying.

I didn't want to try and push through... There was nowhere to go. Why bother...

Why bother with life when it went out of control.

Was this my fault?

More rumours spread about me.

That made me hurt more people, so many more.

Until that voice I heard that day.

It was different and soft. Like it actually cared about my well being...

"Yza."

Who is that?!

"My name is Kinjuzo Takami."

Who are you?!

"I exist inside of you."

Why... Why are you here?!

"I want to help."

With what?

"Everything."

Alright... Tell me. Is my heart still beating?

"Of course. You're not dead. Just unconscious."

Yes, his name was Kinjuzo Takami.

The man that was inside me, but never came out. His offers were tempting. And so good...

"Aren't you tired of trying?"

Of course.., I don't want to... I don't want to do this anymore... I've lost everything... My friends... Respect... Family... Everything that I could own is being destroyed by this world dammit....

"Alright. I'll protect you."

You'll.. What?

"Protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore. This world is cruel, but I know I can take the cruelness. You can hide away until everything's better. Until you've healed."

How can I trust a voice in my head?

"Yza... I care about your well being. Please. Trust me!"

...

"Aren't you tired of trying? Let me take the hits while you hide. It's the only way you'll survive..."

...

At the time, my mind couldn't comprehend it. Kinjuzo was like someone who had burnt down my previous life and made it better. I couldn't feel the hurt. I wasn't even control of my own body...

It was great. Not hearing or experiencing the bad. It was a good change. I only yearned for friends and Ju was there for me. He was always there.

In my lonely world... he was like a ray of light in the cloudy sky. The one place I loved...

Of course... When I picked up Vanguard, I wanted to have a peek of it myself. I realised that Kinjuzo rebuilt my broken relationships with everyone and I had friends. I had people I could talk to. I destroyed my self-doubt, fears and everything else that was stopping me on that day forward and slowly took back my body. With Maxios and Rukia back in my life...

Everything was perfect. It was the time of my life.

Until Backlion and Rukia came to destroy it.

My girlfriend wasn't actually my girlfriend...

One of my closest friends was the Void...

Maxios was near death...

My friends were hurt...

Everything's happening again and again and again and again and again and Again and AgAIn and AGAIn and AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN IT WON'T STOP

I feel like...

Like those emotions from back then... Sinking into that darkness... Feelings helpless...

"YZA."

...Ju?

"You've finally heard me."

Ju, please no... I want to try and handle this myself... I'm stronger now!

"Are you sure? This is the same situation as before... But you could lose even more..."

I swear I just... I just...

"I swear I can help." I feel a pair of hands gently grasp my neck, and my cheeks touched another persons cheek.

Kin... Ju... Zo...

"Please... Let out your emotions. Is it rage? Is it sadness? What is it?"

...I... I'm.... So... Upset...

"Cry. Let it all out..."

Before even I knew it, streams of warm tears were on my face. I was sobbing loudly as Ju was comforting me.

"There we go... Look, it's okay. There's no need to keep your pride strong."

...

"I can help... Protect you again. I'll do it as many times as it takes. Please don't kill yourself from the inside Yza."

All I could do was cry and not give an answer; these emotions are so... Strong...

"You aren't helpless Yza... Please!! Let me help... There's no need to be shy."

...Kinjuzo...

"That's my name..."

I don't care about this vessel anymore... Please take my pain... I don't want to face it anymore.

Did I just accept his offer?

That feeling of not having anything left...

"Good thing I came early then... Don't worry. I'll get back Rukia and then... We'll make your desires come true. Us two, together."

...did I do the right thing?

"You're not a coward, just remember that okay? It's okay to feel this way..."

I...

"Trust me... I'll still accept you, no matter what you've done Yza."

...Kin...

"No matter how many times Yza..."

...ju...

"I swear..."

...zo...

"I'll protect you."

...T...

"And I won't let anyone else get in the way of your happiness...!!"

...thank you, Kinjuzo...

...

.....

.......

This body has evolved... A lot.

I open my eyes to see a dark room. Underneath me is a bed. So, I'm in a room. I sit up and rub my eyes. A little wet, but hey, Yza was in the vessel before me. So I can see why.

Poor guy... I can't believe he had to go through all this. It's disgusting.

Luckily, I'm here to protect him. I will make sure he won't get hurt again. I promise it. I get out of bed and switch on the light.

I look around me, the room is messy. Heh, he still hasn't broken his habit of not cleaning up, hasn't he? I'll get to work then. At that moment, the door clicked open and a boy with midnight blue hair walks in, holding a tray with some items on it. What was his name again? Ayasei? Ayazu? It was Aya something Vulcake or something... He was adopted right?

"Yza, your awake..." He said with a breath of relief.

Oh right, I'm known as Yza. Not Kinjuzo. That's gonna be a bother.

"That's right, Ayase Toucan." I replied. I think I got that name right!

"It's Ayaza Ganki, idiot." He chuckled. "With the bruises and scratches against your head, I guess you have some form of amnesia...?"

My memories a bit blurry, after all, it's Yza's, not mine. I get the general gist though.

"I flew in the air and somehow survived with my bones intact, you tell me." I said in a joking manner.

"Haha, I guess you're right." Ayaza said. He walked over to the my messy desk and put down the tray, on it a cup of instant ramen, green tea, a flask of water, scissors, bandages and some paracetamol. "Here."

"Oh, thanks." I sat down and took off the cover of the cup and started to eat.

"It's been a week..." He sighed.

"Has it really been that long?" I asked as I slurped the noodles down.

"Yeah... I still can't get over the fact Backlion planned all this out. He's the reason three people are dead, one is in critical condition, three people are in hospital, your in such bad condition and me and Serena's almost restless nights. I'm glad Ignus was here to also help out."

Ignus is Yza's new roommate isn't it? Hah, a pervert just like him.

"Mhm." I reply, standing up after eating half a cup of the noodles. I look at the time. 7pm in the evening.

"My job was easy I guess. I'd just feed you some food and make you drink some stuff while replacing your bandages. Today I'd decide I'd wake you up and make you have some paracetamol but that won't be needed." Ayaza said as he stood in the hallway. "Shika's going back to school tomorrow and Rino dropped off notes for the classes you and him were in. He did it for everyone..."

Rino... Blonde right? That cook I think.

"Mhm."

"You seem more calm than usual."

"Well, I dunno," I shrugged. "Maybe I am. Any reports about Backlion and Rukia?" I sit down on my bed.

"Rino said they've been missing in class. Him and Zeon were still going as normal and right now the situation is just freaky."

"Ahuh. Listen, when you find Rukia, I wanna see her. I got some stuff to settle..."

"Don't go fighting on her man... She's your girlfriend-"

"She was a fake."

"..."

"Listen up, she put on an act, you except me to trust her again after what she's done?!!"

"Good people can make bad choices you know!!" He retorted.

"Well I don't buy that crap!" I replied.

"Fuck you!" Ayaza shouted, angry at me.

"Fuck you too!" I replied. "If you still have faith in those traitors, great, but I've lost my respect for them!!" Ayaza left the room, slamming the door shut. Hard. Of course I'm not gonna forgive them! They've hurt Yza of course... Especially Rukia. Hurting him again... Please. Do me a favour and kill yourself... Even if... Yza still feels that way for her deep down.....

That's when I get an idea.

I'll just get him a new girl to like!

No more Rukia, I'll just get him a new girl! It'd be perfect!

Plus, he'd be happy! Sweet, Imma find a new girl!!

Strangely, I find myself cheering wildly and laughing.

Heh.

My name is Kinjuzo Takami, the split personality of Yza Blade.

I'm here to protect him.

================================

A/N

Suddenly I've been getting just a lot of inspiration to write.

I don't know, it's just that this is just fun ya know?

It's kinda relaxing.

Maybe I shouldn't be wildfiring the chapters though.

Should probably slow down.

Then again, I might procrastinate.

Eh, screw it.

Anyways, Kinjuzo Takami, a split personality, this is gonna be great for the story, a star level writing.

I say that with sarcasm as it's not very good storytelling to some extent...

Meh, this book is already an enough of a train wreck, so I'll just add some more fuel to the fire.

That's all, Fox out!
