[______Dominant_Persona_______] Sypher [___Submissive_Persona___] Yokai ↳ Jounin ↳ Ninjutsu↳ Sensor
l| The slight tightening of her fists was all the indication Sypher had of having stepped on something. He had not intended to poke or prod her wounds or even to insist she share anything with him. But he wanted her to know that while many things could be hidden, actions were easier to read through for him then words. People could hide all they wanted but unless they had spent years working on it, he would find it eventually. It was what he'd learned to do in order to hunt and track. Understand your prey, your opponent and read them in so order to hunt them into the ground. An unfortunate skill one couldn't turn off but it could be channeled into something else "Its not a burden to be lessened. It is what you need to know in order to fully trust me. I will not have what was done to me in Kumogakure done again simply because one does not know the other." he had not shared with Kinapku his life or his values. His morals, what little there were, had never been spoken of. This, Yokai had concluded, could be the only reason for the Raikage and Daitomi's reaction. That they hadn't known him well enough. Sypher disagreed but... "What happened in Kumogakure cuts deeply to me because I am an orphan, Mi. I considered the village more then home, it was family." he leaned down and drew a single word in the dirt 'One' "I was abandoned before I was a day old in an orphanage just inside this village, Kirigakure's, boundaries. As orphanages go, it was a full one and couldn't provide for every left child. At the age of 5, you were expected to find your own food. At age 6, I picked the wrong caravan to steal from. They beat me then burned and bound my palms to the back of their wagon and dragged me away from Kirigakure. I was sold to the Couple in Sunagakure when I was 7 after working for a year to pay off the food I stole." as he spoke, Sypher wrote his ages in the sand, making small arrows that led to one from the other. He spoke with detachment, completely emotionless, unaware of how he was saying 'couple. He'd never known their name and had merely assigned them the title of 'the Couple' as a means of explaining his nightmares. He tapped the word 'seven' to keep her attention on it "I lived with the Couple and another child they had bought. A girl. She and I shared a shed in the couples back yard. We didn't speak to each other because I hadn't been taught how to and she had had her tongue cut out. The Couple enjoyed violent entertainment as a means of arousal." he gave her a look that said 'I do hope you know what that means.' before continuing "I was not used until the girl died during one of the attacks. I lived with the Couple for 2years before the woman discovered her partner was taking to my bed more often then hers. She killed him and I ran away." he wrote the word 'nine' in the sand "I met an old man named Giro when I arrived in Konohagakure. He found me digging through his garbage and managed to train me to do more then run, eat and fight. I lived with him for a few months before he fell down the stairs and broke his hip. His nephew, a man named Hideki, came to live with us just before." now his pattern changed and the word 'Hideki' appeared in the sand as he paused in his writing "Hideki was a drunk. A brutal, nasty man who did worse then the Couple could have if they hadn't been so intent on each other. I survived his attacks by hoping that Giro would come back soon. He didn't. Giro was over well over 100yrs and died in the hospital." Sypher looked at Mi for a moment, his expression seeming to tell her something...but it was impossible for him to know what he expected out of this "Yokai wanted me to tell you this..." he said firmly then continued "Hideki's assaults become steadily more violent until he finally threw me off an apartment building during a violent storm. I broke every bone in my body except my left wrist in the 4story fall. It was a miracle I survived and I still wake screaming in the middle of the nights of particularly bad thunderstorms. My mind did not quite survive that fall though and while I was rescued by a passing shinobi, I was unable to do much more then scream for months while my body healed. I finally arrived in Kumogakure when I was 12." he was back to writing words now, 'twelve' written neatly in the sand "I was found by a teacher, enrolled in the academy on the premiss of getting food and that is that. Aside from one other thing." he leaned back and looked at her, Yokai quietly muttering about manners in the back of his mind "When I received my Onin title, I went to Konohagakure and murdered Hideki for what he did to me. His is the only life I have taken and I have no thoughts on the subject. It happened and that is that." he wiped his hand through Hideki's name in the sand and then pointed to the 'seven' "The woman in the Couple was strangled by another child she bought while she slept. The caravan I have not found." Sypher didn't say what he intended to do once he found the caravan "I am not a nice person, Mi. I am a violent, dark and unrelenting creature. Yokai has tempered some of this enough that I am not ruled solely by the desire to murder. I do not believe people are good either. The idea of a genuinely kind person is ridiculous to me." he stretched his legs out finally, rubbing his knees to relieve the cricks that had developed "I have told you my past, which I do not share willingly. I have told you of Hideki's murder which even Kinpaku does not know of. With Yokai, I am tame. Now currently I cannot say that I will not simply go off and become rogue if Yokai should suddenly and horribly cease to exist. That very problem is why he has had me share this with you...because if he disappears...you, Mi, shall be the only thing keeping me from destroying those who have done me wrong. So...is our faith in you well placed?" he gave her a curious look now, one that was genuine. His emotions were not very many, including only rage, pain, raw compassion (though for what is unknown) but curiosity was one that stayed true. He was like a cat in that way...."Will putting my trust in you kill me again?" |l Good night =___=

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx↳ ❝MI YOUNG ROO❞ xxxxxxxmizukage
Dark. It was dark. This history that was attached to Sypher was a wretched one. One filled with pain, suffering and unrelenting terror. He had only been a child and had gone through all of the sufferings a person experienced in a complete lifetime, some experiences being the ones that should never occur. His life, his past, was a nightmare. Something that easily created a person who easily lived in chaos and acted accordingly. Mi sat there and listened, her wide eyed gaze the only thing that really gave her any semblance of listening. The more he divulged into his biography the more stricken Mi was by the horrors that he had suffered through. As naive as Mi was to most things she had learned to balance between things that not to be taken lightly and things in which it was okay to be a little lax in. Human beings were one thing she could never exactly place. Most people she had met were kind. She had grown up in Kirigakure and had known nothing other than this life, thanks to her brother. Mi had seen things that would haunt her for the rest of her life but Sypher's history was something that seemed almost surreal. For the first time in Mi's life a small seed of doubt was planted in her mind concerning whether or not hope could be placed into human beings as a whole.
As he began to ween down to the last portion of his story, the numbness that had set into Mi's limbs began to lift. Yokai? He was keeping Sypher here. He was holding Sypher's rage and pain back. She lifted a hand to face, ducking her head slightly so that her bangs could cast the shadow she wanted at that moment. Covering one eye with the palm of her hand she silently scoffed to herself. Mi couldn't cry and despite going through the motions she didn't shed a tear, not matter how tight her heart and throat squeezed. So long as she stayed Mizukage there would be even more terrible stories for her to hear about. Horrible things for her to witness. Yokai believed that she was strong enough to carry such a burden but she wasn't so sure. What would be her breaking point? When you are dead. That's right... It was her responsibility to take care of the people of this village. No matter what circumstances. She had to believe in the people of Kirigakure. She wouldn't give up on them and if she had to sacrifice everything she was, even her life, she wouldn't hesitate to do so. This was nothing new and it applied to Sypher as well. "No one is going to kill you Sypher. Everything will be alright. I'll do everything in my power to protect you, even it's from yourself."That was her resolve. She wouldn't betray him and she wouldn't give up on him either. Wounds were easily inflicted on people but time healed those wounds. Maybe his time here could help him. Help him become a person who could overcome such a horrible beginning.

[______Dominant_Persona_______] Sypher [___Submissive_Persona___] Yokai ↳ Jounin ↳ Ninjutsu↳ Sensor
l| Yokai was preening himself internally, pleased with his convincing of Sypher to share his history with Mi. Sypher, however, was ever the skeptic "I shall hold you to that, Mi-san. Both as my Kage and as Yokai's friend. With that, I'll remind you that it is two lives you've now sworn to protect." Sypher and Yokai were both putting their lives in her hands. And though Yokai had faith...Sypher was waiting for proof "With this business finished...I shall let you know your secretary is in a fair amount of agitation, a new genin has annoyed me in his search for you and I have a jutsu in mind that should allow you to see Yokai more freely." he sat up straight again, not bent over like before "It'd allow me to bring Yokai into a physical body. So...I'd like you to hang around for a bit. When it works, you can explain us away as twins and no one need know that we've a ...colorful history with Kumogakure." he took up a stick as he spoke and began sketching out the idea behind the technique, explaining it as he went. There was no hesitation of 'if' he could do it. It was 'when' he could do it "Its basically a clone with a thicker consistency and stamina. I've got a hefty chakra pool so to correctly build this one, I'd halve it and place the other half of my pool directly into the clone." he smiled a little as he did a doodle of two people surrounded by a cloud, getting shocked by chakra puffs "This would make it more of a 'twin' then a clone. From there it gets a little mixed...I'd be taking Yokai's personality or my own and...transferring it into the 'twin'. Its a tricky bit of genjutsu, the last bit, but I don't think I'll have much trouble with it. Yokai said he showed you one jutsu that I created, the spiral. It shouldn't be much harder to create then that one was." he mused, whipping the stick through his drawings. And looked at Mi patiently "Unless you're in a desperate hurry to get back to your secretary...?" Yokai was freaking out a bit at Sypher, not wanting to try the jutsu simply because Sypher didn't have all the specifics yet. But he never had all the specifics. |l

[______Dominant_Persona_______] Sypher [___Submissive_Persona___] Yokai ↳ Jounin ↳ Ninjutsu↳ Sensor
l| "On to it then." was his only reply before Sypher set to work. First, he began dispersing his chakra so it floated about them like mist, essentially making the entire area feel like he'd performed a bear hug on it. His chakra floated about, searching out the strongest source of water and immediately began pulling from the waterfall. While Sypher appeared relaxed, sitting on his knees and appearing to stare vacantly into the air, he was concentrating intensely. Yokai had merged slightly into the personality and both of them watched the water flow forward to pool in front of them. It was a substantial amount and soon it began to slide into human shape, features shaping into something distinguishable. Within a moment, a double was lying in quiet repose on the ground before Mi and Sypher, perfectly shaped but...It needs....skin, Sy. Yes, Yokai, thank you so much for pointing that out and distracting me for this oh-so important bit of information! SHUT IT!....just saying... Sypher's body shook every so slightly but he pushed more chakra into the water, giving it color and further definition. It was like the drawings he did on a grand scale. Skin paled and then became enriched to match his own, hair became clearly shaped though a different hue in color and eyes filled under closed lids. Clothing was not something Sypher was compensating for so for a brief moment, Mi had an unrestricted view of his -ahem- package before he threw his jacket violently on top of the twin "...sorry bout that..." he mumbled, flushing slightly. So he DID have some other emotions. With the twin created, Sypher paused to take a breather, leaning back on his heels to examine the body. The hair was shorter by an inch and was of a more blue tinted blonde than his green tint. Its face was softer around the eyes, no worry lines or stress marks. A small birthmark was obvious on his bare chest, a little brown shape that looked like a feather Geez...even that transferred over, eh? Duh, Yokai. Its a twin. Well nuuur then. Are you getting cocky now? Don't forget, my dear 'twin', that your body is NAKED in front of Mi.....y-y-yo-you-you-! Hush up. I'm dividing the chakra now...so really. Don't talk, Yokai. Just....stay 'still'. Yokai went silent but present as Sypher scooted to sit behind the twin's head, his crossed ankles near the top of its head. He looked at Mi for a moment "I've said this to Yokai and I'll now say it to you...silence is what I need here. Absolute. Not a word. Hold your breath, if you can." with that said, he set about creating his genjutsu. First, he placed his hands in his lap and closed his eyes, Sypher's quiet breathing dying down to just a whisper. Slowly his chakra began to pool into his hands but...it wasn't really his chakra? The color and movement was off. His chakra was green and blue, rotating around his body in a figure eight shape and always rushing about in controlled bursts. The chakra pooling in his hands was blue purple and seemed to float like pieces of fluff. It was clearly still part of his but...also not. As more and more of it began to pool, it started to gain its own substance of sorts. Sypher felt the strange and disturbing feeling of his chakra leaving his body. It wasn't a bad thing...with a chakra pool as large as his, it wasn't going to inconvenience him not to have half of it. But it was strange. More unsettling was Yokai's presence carefully bleeding out of his mind and into the chakra in his hands! Its fine....its fine.... he told himself, panic held at bay by the warmth Yokai left. He'd split their personality directly down the middle, equally halving them so as to prevent himself from losing the benefit Yokai gave him. He did not, however, give Yokai any of his darkness. That was his alone and he would bare it. Ever so carefully, Sypher began pushing the chakra in his hands into the body at his feet, feeding it in like water to a river. It began to fill the body, bringing that glow of life only real living things can have and the body twitched slightly, jerking a knee as the chakra finally left his hands. (Twin Clone: learned) His entire body was shaking by now and Sypher put his hands to either side of his head, the horrible empty feeling persisting. He didn't even know if Yokai had made it into the body! Had he messed up? Damn Mi and her doubting! Damn damn da- "I do not like this feeling at all...." Yokai stared up at Sypher who blinked at him in surprise and pulled his arms clumsily to his chest "B-But I like not being in your head anymore." Sypher quickly helped Yokai into a sitting position, Yokai making sure the jacket stayed in place as they both looked at Mi "Well....I'd say it worked?" Sypher asked "But give him a once over." he finished, knowing a bit about Mi's ability to heal from when Yokai had first arrived. |l And good night! I shall have a new format tomorrow to work with.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx↳ ❝MI YOUNG ROO❞ xxxxxxxmizukage
Ow. Ow. Ow. A tingling sensation began to spread up and down her legs, Mi wincing slightly as she remained seated. All she could really do was look on as Sypher began to immerse himself into the new jutsu. Mi was unsure of how she could step in to help them but she would try her very best. So. She waited. Waited to not want to be called in for assistance. Her mind was still clouded with the story Sypher had relayed to her, all of it deeply disturbing to her. How was it that one child could meet so much misfortune, all at once. Some would call it dumb luck but Mi was a little more impractical when it came to that. Fate was something a little more solid than the concept of 'luck' to Mi. Either way, the cards had not been in Syphers favor from the moment he was born. It was these type of tragedies that Mi wanted to shield her people from but the likelihood of being able to stand in the way of such a wretched fate was a little hard to protect against. As she emerged from her rampant thoughts, Mi noted that Sypher had successfully made a full body clone. An exact replica, like any other clone. Mi stared out at the clone, taking in the form of it when Sypher suddenly tossed his jacket over the unclad shell. He barked an apology in her direction, Mi resting her gaze on him for a long second. Was he flushed in the face? She continued to stare out at him, oblivious as to why he would feel so flustered. Perhaps the jutsu was straining him and he was flushed because of the energy he was extorting. Mi shook her head, shaking off his apology. There was no reason for him to apologize. Being fatigued was normal. Especially when creating a new jutsu from scratch.
Settling into her silent observance of the trial, Sypher suddenly turned to her once again, laying down his absolute order not to make a peep. To say she wasn't a little taken back by being ordered around was a lie. Other than Yuri, no one really told her to do anything. It was a little interesting to Mi. Made her really feel as if she had shed that clingy Kage title for the moment. There was no way she could let Yokai or Sypher go now. They made her too alive? Was that it? To alive to let them go now. It was this selfish thinking that she would take to the grave, never to share this horrible train of thought with anyone, ever. Sypher seemed tense suddenly, Mi sitting up a little. Her legs protested the effort, blood rushing into her legs immediately. Ignoring the slight discomfort, Mi positioned herself so that she was on her knees, in case she had to get up and step in. Those silent moments felt like eternity and then all at once the clone spoke. Mi let out a small sigh, plopping back to her sitting position. "Right." Mi said, getting up and moving over toward where Yokai was now seated.
It should have been odd that there were now two identical clones of the same person with separate thriving personalities but Mi had easily grasped the concept of it all the moment it was established that Sypher and Yokai were separate but the same. Kneeling down, supported on her knees, she reached out and placed a small hand on his shoulder. Activating her chakra she let it pulse out of her hand and into Yokai's body. The chakra was called back, Mi 'seeing' every single little detail inside of Yokai's his anatomical shell. Nothing was wrong with his organs nor his muscles and tissue, although he was a little on the lean side and needed to gain a few pounds. His brainwaves seemed stable and nothing seemed to be damaging the chakra signature that burned inside of him. There was nothing really worth worrying about. "You need to gain some weight. You are burning too many calories, calories that you don't have." She warned, taking a medics tone. Releasing her light grasp on his shoulder she scooted away from him in order to take him all in from this new perspective. "Nothing will happen to you guys because you are separate right?" Mi asked, tearing her gaze away from Yokai to look at Sypher. As much as she worried about Yokai she was equally concerned about Sypher's well being. "Maybe I should give you a going over as well..." Mi suggested, unsure of how this little jutsu worked and the effects it could have on either of them.

Not really sure if he wanted Mi to examine him or not, Sypher did his own little mental check on his body. As Yokai began speaking to Mi, he stretched his arms, checked his own pulse and mentally went over the check list of 'am I ok?'. Yokai blushed and held the jacket close to his waist as Mi examined him "W-well, Sy-" he stopped as Sypher shot him a look and he swallowed, smiling nervously "Sypher didn't have the energy to put much into me...I'll eat more..." As Mi questioned Sypher about wondering if something would happen with them separated, he too, looked at his other half. And it struck him as he did that....he and Sypher really were halves of each other. The jutsu might have been called 'twin clone' but they were actually closer then twins or clones. Yokai moved closer to Sypher as he realized that, pressing in and dipping his head a bit so it rested near Sypher's shoulder. "I'd appreciate a check, Mi-san, thank you. I think I'm all right but I'd prefer to have a second check." Sypher replied, finishing his own check. As Yokai shuffled closer to him, it wasn't really a surprise and he simply leaned in closer. He knew exactly what Yokai was feeling, that strange loneliness, painful but also rather comforting. They were the only two like each other...unique. At least, that's what Sypher thought... As to what Mi had asked..."I'm not sure about the possible lasting effects. I know right now that we're both suffering from...I guess it'd be called separation anxiety?" he glanced at Yokai who only nodded his head a little, letting Sypher continue "I don't know what else may occur. Its a waiting game now..."

Sypher didn't move as Mi touched him though his chakra went a bit thready...a strange reaction that might be noted as...aggression? It was a strange reaction and even he couldn't say, for the moment, why it had occurred. For now, he simply repressed his reactions and tidied the information away to think about later. "Good thing you gave Yokai a home. We can sleep there..." he said after a moment of just eying Mi and he stood, pulling Yokai to stand with him. He took one of the offered candies from Mi and slipped it into his pants, his attention drifting to look at something over Mi's head. Why did Sy react like that?! Yokai gave Sypher an anxious look as he felt the tremor run through their shared chakra pool, rising to his feet. He turned so his front was to Sypher's leg and quickly slid the jacket on, pulling it down so it covered his front AND his rear "Thank you, Mi-san..." he murmured, shyly accepting the candy and staring at it intently for a moment. He kept it in one hand and took Sypher's hand in the other, gripping it tightly. They both had long fingers so it was rather pretty the way they braided together as Sypher started walking. Leading Yokai behind him, Sypher paused and turned back to Mi "I'd like to request you assign us something to do." he said, speaking as if he and Yokai were still in one body. The idea of being separate wasn't quite fitting yet and he doubted it ever would. Yokai's body, while not fully a normal body, was more then a clones. It was made of water but solid as a normal body. When cut, he would vanish, he'd bleed...maybe that was why they'd never really be two separate beings. Because while they were separate...they were still them "I have training as a hunter and can teach. Something in those areas would be appreciated. I'm not an idle thumb twirler, Mi-kage, and I don't enjoy just sitting around...We'll come to your office once we've rested." and suddenly he'd switched to formality...sort of. With that said, Sypher was off again, taking Yokai behind him. Yokai was busy unwrapping the candy with his tongue after popping it into his mouth. As Sypher made his request, Yokai bobbed his head in adamant agreement and smiled as they left "Bye, Mi-kage!" he wiggled his free hand at her in a good bye and took the wrapper out of his mouth, holding it up "Thank you for the candy!" he turned back around and stumbled a bit to catch up with his faster walking 'twin'.

Oblivious to something she had just caused, within Sypher, Mi simply nodded as Sypher depicted that they would be heading out. Opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, she closed it, Sypher already pulling Yokai off in the direction back towards the main civilian enclosure. Being a person who preferred to say less, it was a big thing when she held herself back but Mi knew it was for the best. As much as she wanted to talk to Yokai she could not show preference. Especially after Sypher had told her so much. He was quite pushy in his request for work but pointed out he would come to her later on. Yokai was as cheerful as ever and was exuberant in his good bye. Mi waved in return, a reserved and not as 'genki' in comparison to Yokai's. Watching them part she let out a small sigh. Turning to walk toward the edge of the sand bar before land was suddenly overcome with the water from the pool before her. Looking into the water she could see her blurred reflection. Her expression was vacant but she continued to peer down at herself as if expecting to see something. Slowly, she lifted a shaky hand and covered one of her eyes with it. Mi was bothered. Something Sypher had said stayed churning in her mind. if Yokai should suddenly and horribly cease to exist... That idea seemed to haunt her when it should not have. Mi was becoming less and less 'detached', as was required of her. Being a friend was hard, especially when you weren't allowed to be one. She kicked at the water, causing it to ripple. One more stop and she would return to her duties. She wanted to visit her brother's grave. Heading out in the opposite direction from where Yokai and Sypher had stalked off, Mi used this quiet time to try and bring everything into perspective surrounding the issues with Yokai and Sypher.
