Vayne woke up like he always did and yet today felt so different. He had never felt so lost before. Waking up the first he had done was gone to the mirror. His eyes had chanced and become stuck ever since Azal had taken over his body to fight Jojo Kaguya. One remained his color gold and the other was red. His hair was mostly black but it had streaks of silver highlights all throughout it. Having learned the truth he was clearly in denial now not wanting to believe the truth even if his very being believed it was. He took a shower and and then getting dressed headed out. Normally everyday he would stop by Takara's place but today he skipped it not feeling much like talking to her yet. He wasn't sure what to tell her what Azal had said and whether any of it made sense to her or not. What if his mother or cousin returned and rejected him accepting Azal as their true family. Then it would finally sink in that he was just a fake and nothing more.
"Don't I deserve to exist too? Why do I have to accept being just a part of Azal again?" It wasn't fair but it didn't seem like he had any choice at all. Sooner or later Azal would reabsorb him and become the person he had been before. He just was afraid he would abandon Takara and the promises he had made to her. Last thing he wanted to do was hurt her when he was all she really had right now. Looking up it seemed his feet had brought him to the academy and for a brief second he had a flashback of one of Azal's memories seeing the white haired male bawling his eyes out as his cousin Jade tried to console him. He sighed and moved to sit on the swing under the tree closing his eyes as he looked down at the ground now.

Jade had this feeling that was tugging at her heart that something good was gonna happen today. She had no clue or idea of what that could be but every time she closed her eyes she ached inside. With Vayne gone or so she thought every day just seemed worthless to her. Without her cousin her family would never be whole again and every time she looked at her mother she ached once again. Vayne has always been more like a baby brother than a cousin. Jade held her hair tie in her mouth as she fixed her hair then tied it into a ponytail. Making sure that the kunai scar on her neck was covered up before she checked herself out in the mirror. Guess she looked good enough as she kissed her mother farewell and made her way toward the academy.
To be honest Jade has no ides why she was heading to the academy. It just seem like her heart was leading her there and she never been one to doubt her heart. She wore a skirt that goes down to her legs but showed off the curves of her body. Jade has never been one to care about her appearance but that doesn't mean she wants to look nasty at all. She stopped a the entrance to the academy before something caught her eye at the swing. For a moment the world seem to stop as she stood there frozen and unable to move. Her feet moved but she couldn't breath until her mind caught up with her and she breath out one single name. The hair and eyes was different but she knew it was her cousin.
"V-Vayne...."

Dwelling on the memory longer he felt the urge to cry but he wouldn't. He was supposed to be stronger than this and not cry anymore and yet he felt like he hadn't grown up much at all. Still the same sad little boy that had always been teased and made fun of by Jade. No that had been Azal but still he was apart of him and so he was him in a sense. He had grown stronger in skill but other than that he hadn't change or well it seemed he hadn't since Azal was the only one who was changing lately now him. "Maybe I am just a nobody after all." He muttered to himself letting out a soft sigh now eyes still closed now. He could hear footsteps now of someone coming towards the academy and somehow he knew it wasn't Takara and for some reason he was glad. He didn't want her to see him like this again sad and depressed.
"Maybe I am better off becoming just a part of Azal again insignificant and small." He muttered to himself raising his head back up now. Opening his eyes they came to rest on a girl seemingly about his age. She was beautiful for sure and somehow he knew she was related to him but how he didn't remember. "Jade..." The name escaped his lips now but he hadn't been the one to say it. His eyes had flashed red as Azal said the name. This was the girl Jade from Azal's memories and this was his cousin. He stood up slowly now and stepping out from the dark shade of the tree was fully exposed now in plain view to her. He remained silent unsure what to say to the girl. She knew Azal not him so why would she care about him?

Jade has this ominous feeling inside that this was not the same person she knew all those years ago. Something was different about her cousin that it almost scared her to even be near him. This isn't the time to just stand there her mind screamed at her. Finally the pink haired beauty snapped out of it and shook her head to bring her back. She slowly took small steps toward Vayne a little scared that he might try to kill her if she went too fast.
Finally her feet stand planted as she stood just mere inches away from her cousin. Jade knew this wasn't right and as she raised one hand to reach her for him instead she felt a little rage inside. This was not her cousin! Even if he looked exactly like him no way will the cousin she knew have such a strange aura about him. Instead she made a flat hand and slapped the person in front of her across the face. Tears flew out of her eyes as she did this before growling a little at this stranger.
"You are not my cousin! Who the hell are you? Never would the Vayne I knew have this ominous aura about him."

Vayne remained silent and still in place now. Jade seemed to notice something was different about him. She seemed afraid unable to approach him. "I wont hurt you Jade." It was all he could muster in response now remaining rooted in place. He hadn't seen her in so long he wasn't sure what to say. Even Azal who was normally a chatty kathy was silent seemingly in deep thought himself. He watched at Jade seemed to have decided to approach him now remaining silent a weak smile on his face as his eyes scanned her up and down a little more now. He watched as she raised a hand as if to touch him now and was about to smile maybe she realized it was him. Shock plastered his face as she then angrily slapped him leaving a red mark. Feeling Azal want control he relented and retreated to hide in the dark recesses of Azal's mind now. Azal frowned as he rubbed his cheek his eyes both red now as his hair turned completely white while listening to her.
"That'd be me and you still hit like a girl Jade. Did you ever get promoted to Chunin after I beat you?" He smirked rubbing his cheek a little more now. He had always lost to Jade growing up but when it came time for the Chunin Exams he had finally come out on top. She'd seemed so confident she would beat him her expression had been priceless when he had beaten her instead. It had also created a change in her for the better and for his victory she had given him a ribbon from her hair which had her name ingraved on it. "Sorry if I scare you with my chakra. Kind of what happens when your experimented on for a couple of years. I slightly altered my appearance using my curse mark so that's probably why you didn't recognize me right away but I do have proof as your cousin." He then dug into a pocket and fished out the ribbon she had given him tossing it to her. If that wasn't enough proof for her then oh well Azal thought.

Jade doesn't know which one to believe that to be her actual cousin that has been missing for years on end. One minute he has some strange and dark aura and then the next there is nothing. It was as if her cousin had two sides to him and that is when she figured it out. Whatever must have happened to him in those years must have caused some sort of breakdown that caused him to split into two personalities. This wasn't the Vayne she once knew and loved but at the same time it was the person she has been looking for all this time. At this point she isn't sure about which side to be the true and only Vayne.
The voice that emitted from this man was when she realized she was talking to the true Vayne. Jade felt her emotional barrier break apart as tears started to fall repeated out of her eyes. She more of less jumped on Vayne as she caught the ribbon and embraced him. Crying into her cousin neck before she sniffled and pulled back. "I am actually a Jounin now." she stated before smirking now that she let all of those tears out.

He didn't blame her for not recognizing him right away. He had used his curse mark originally to change his appearance slightly so he'd look different. That was when he adopted the Azal persona pretending to be someone else but it was when he was experimented on that it all came crashing down on him. The power bestowed upon him through experimentation had driven him nearly insane at first and to cope his subsconious had picked up on his pretend dual personality and thus created it for real as a means for him to cope thinking he had a sweet innocent side and a killer side. It had worked so well until Takara and Jojo came into his life. He had thought he was playing a game with Vayne but in the end he wondered if he had just been in denial himself.
"Aw come on don't cry now your supposed to be stronger than me remember?" His words seemed useless as she proceeded to cry anyways pulling him into a hug now. He smiled weakly unsure how to react exactly he had grown accustomed to avoiding such contact. After a few seconds he finally snaked his arms around her shoulders returning the hug. "Well excuse me Miss Jounin. Guess you beat me after all." He laughed she had sworn she'd surpass him back in terms of rank and it seemed she had. He would be a Jounin by now himself if he had remained in the village instead of being kidnapped. "Times have really changed since I was gone. We've both really grown up since then though I'm sort of a freak now." Having four kekkai genkais was a bit unnatural to most but he didn't care. He felt it made him unique giving him an edge over most.

Jade still was in utter shock that her cousin has actually returned to them after all these years. Though she was curious how long exactly he has been back in the village. There was this whole thing with the bad aura guy and she was curious about him too. Did he have the same name or is he called someone else? Her pink hair laid over her shoulders covering up that ugly kunai scar. It was the one thing she hated but liked since it was her first battle wound.
When Vayne called himself a freak she placed her hands gently on the others shoulders. "You are not a freak. That bad aura guy is a part of yourself now no matter what. Though who exactly is he? Is he called Vayne or something else?" she asked like a kid just wanting to know everything that has happen to Vayne in the years he was gone.

[OOC: Purple is Azal Red is Vayne]
They had only been back in the village for about a month now. Most of that time he spent cooped up in the apartment they had given him when he wasn't out with Takara. Azal had wanted to see Jade but he wasn't sure about how to approach her. He wasn't the same as back then and he felt like a freak now. Could she truly accept him like this and love him like family again. He felt doubtful but after this moment he guessed he had simply been overthinking things as usual. He noticed her hiding something but thought little of it shrugging it off for now. Feeling her place her hands on his shoulders now hearing her speak to him. He then looked into her eyes scanning them now. "But I am and not because of my split personality either. What I can do is unnatural and inhuman." he paused to consider a response to the questions about Vayne and simply nodded to himself. "Vayne is everything I felt made me weak and held me back. A futile attempt to purge myself of such weaknesses." When it you broke it down it all boiled down to that. He understood everything about his condition but it was Vayne's denial that made him deny it as well. If they could both just accept it all then they might become whole again.

Jade once again felt that dark and ominous aura appearing once again which meant she is talking to Azal now. When it came down to it this spilt personality Azal is more or less her cousin as well. That doesn't mean she trust him but she trust Vayne and that was enough for her. Her hair moved with the wind as once again her cousin called himself a freak.Tightening her hands into a fist she growled as she lifted her fist up and punched Vayne and knocked him into a tree. "Stop calling yourself that! Call yourself that again and I will beat you until you do stop." she threaten as her fingers was still clenched into a fist ready to strike again if he call himself a freak again.
She doesn't care how much torture her poor cousin had to go through with Orochimaru. Jade will not just stand there and allow him to call himself a freak no matter the circumstances behind it. Vayne is not a freak and nor will she ever let him think that. Jade will protect her cousin in the future and everybody knew that the future is not gonna be all rainbows and peace. Soon this era of peace will be over with and there is nothing anybody can do to stop that.
"What do you mean make you feel like your weak? The Vayne I know is strong and there is nothing that can change that. If anybody want to question that then they can deal with me and my fists." Jade said as she stared at Azal all serious like.

[OOC: Azal's been the one talking to her since my third post to be clear so he never stopped]
Azal smiled sheepishly watching her ball up her fists now. He knew how she didn't like her family talking bad about themselves or having others talk bad about them. She might seemed nice at time but he knew when pushed like that she had quite the temper. She reminded him a lot of his mother who was the same way which was ironic since Jade's mother had always been a serious no nonsense type of woman and rarely ever smiled. It was like Jade was more her child than his aunt's child. He wasn't surprised when Jade hit him making him stumble back falling against the tree causing him to laugh at it all. "Fair enough but I'm not so weak anymore so good luck trying." He snorted in response. Back when he was a kid not even a Genin he would take punishment or a beating without fighting back. It wasn't until Jade defended him that one day that he began to change swearing to become as strong as her if not stronger.
"I might have been strong physically but mentally I just acted tough as a facade to get others to leave me alone. I was only fooling myself back then and everyone including you bought it." Sure he had beaten Jade in the Chunin Exams but he had felt so bad afterwards but he had pretended not to be. The same could be said on the first mission he had gone on that had gotten him captured by Orochimaru's goons. He had acted all big and bad but inside he was terrified and wanted to run away. If he could go back to then the way he was now thing would have been different. "Nothing is scarier than a Sato woman and her fists of justice." He smiled sheepishly running a hand through his hair now.

Jade sure wanted to hit the man in front of her again but in the end she had enough violence. All she wanted to do now was to catch up with Vayne or Azal or whoever she is talking to now. It has been too many years apart and she don't want to spend the entire time beating her up cousin. She smirked as he told her that he isn't as weak as he used to be. "One day we will need to test that theory." she stated finally letting her hands loosen up some.
"I knew you acted tough but that was just a defense mechanism to deal with it." she added before laughing as the other said there is nothing more dangerous than a Sato woman and her fists.
"Your damn right there isn't." Jade added before moving pass the shinobi and sat down on the tree swing.

To be honest Azal was tired of fighting senselessly. What was the point when their was no purpose behind it. Vayne had Takara which was his purpose for everything he did yet what did he have to fight for. Vayne was part of him so technically he had Takara as well though he was still trying to process how he felt about her. "I look forward to it cousin. I'll enjoy rubbing your defeat in your face again. No matter what we'll be proud of each and how we've grown since our academy days." Azal replied a smirk on his face as usual. He was curious to see how much she had grown herself. She was certainly in for a surprise whenever she fought him.
"You were always so perceptive. Just like my mother couldn't get nothing past you." It was what had always annoyed him most about her other than when she used to show off. It had been like always having his mother around nagging him to focus on his studies more. In the end he was actually thankful and missed his mother not sure where she currently was right now. "I swear people must have thought back then you were my sister and not my cousin." The thought made him chuckle it certainly was plausible. He watched Jade take a seat on the swing now. "How is your mother? Still baking those sweets I used to love? Oh how I missed those." He sighed lightly trying to recall what they smelled or tasted like. It had been so long he had forgotten what both were like.

Jade had this once again ominous vibe about the person that her cousin has become. It was as if there was this darkness hidden in his heart that is slowly but surely taking control of him. If that time ever comes that he must be killed then the Hokage better give her that order. Being family though it might be a little hard for her to actually kill her cousin but if it must be done then so be it. Her eyes looked up at the guy in front of her and smiled at the mention of her mother.
"She hasn't been doing much of anything since your disappearance. She always thought of you as her own son and not knowing if you were safe or nor hurt her. I bet she will be much better now that your back." Jade explained as she started to swing back and forth slowly but surely.

Azal could only imagine what Jade was truly thinking about all of this. She seemed content with it all now but she still seemed bothered by it all. It reminded him of the time he had lied to her telling her he had gotten carried away with training when really a bully had beaten him up. She had claimed to buy it hook line and sinker but a few days later she had overheard the guy boasting about showing up a Sato boy and well needless to say after mysteriously being beaten up he never targeted him again. He knew it had been Jade but she claimed it wasn't her and he left it at that. He knew not to bug her about certain things because she was almost the same as his mother. "I see. I'll visit her soon as I am ready to. It's been so long I'm so nervous about it all." Truth was he was afraid for her to see him like this. This was not the real Vayne that she had known only a broken version. She might lie and say she was comfortable with him just because Jade talked to her about it but people were always good at masking their fears of something. "And what of my own mother? Last I checked she left the village to look for me." He would've figured she had gotten the news he was back now but apparently she hadn't then again maybe it was for the best. He didn't wish for her to see him like this either. He sighed lightly looking away from Jade now as he rubbed the back of his neck now.
