Hatred.....(p,NK, Kozata Shinkou)

What was with this guy, anyway? Kozata probably had a vastly different past from him. Sure, his parents had died, but he hadn't even been there to witness it. He didn't know any of the details, other than that "they died in combat for Shima". As far as he knew, this wasn't even true and they had merely told him that as part of a lie. However, he chose to accept it, blindly believing  that his parents had been good people. Dio, on the other hand, simply didn't care. Who his parents were didn't matter. He, Dio, was the only one who mattered. And he was the most powerful yuumei in the world.
It seemed that Yazu was relctant to return to the village, judging by his sigh. Was he afraid? If so, what was he afraid of? Was it Xyxer, the Mizukage? Ok, well, sure, he could be scary. Maybe that was it. Or was he scared of Kozata? Nah, that wasn't right. Kozata wasn't a scary-looking person at all. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that his chakra was so high, or that he had Dio to make him look more intimidating, then he'd probably never be able to get anything done when it came to other people. Most likely, without those assets, no one would take him seriously.
However, it seemed that Yazu was speaking again. More excuses, now?
...
So the guy claimed to be some kind of combat medic? Kozata found it a little hard to believe, but then again, he had met Goon. He knew of Goon's interest in medical jutsu, and he didn't really seem like the kind of person to be a combat medic either. Regardless, this guy may or may not be a fan of comrade killing... whether he was or not, however, was not for Kozata to judge.
He'd take him to a high authority... that would iron things out nicely. The confusion on Yazu's face when asked the question about killing ones own fellow ninja was something that would stick with Kozata for a while, however. While the boy himself didn't really care much about it, Dio was in hysterics for a few seconds. The fact that a human face could even look like that was apparently humorous to him, which was strange to Kozata. Oh well. The ways of the yuumei were strange indeed to human beings.
However, what Yazu said next was a little disturbing.
"As a fuuinjutsu specialist", Kozata began, his tone solemn, "I can see how names might be used against someone. Do not take me for a fool." Sure, he had just revealed what he specialized in, but of course, that would only serve him more than detriment him. Kozata had several contingency plans in mind just in case things went south, which they might very well. Kozata would continue to follow Yazu, keeping about four feet or so between them. His hand, still being on the kunai in his pouch, would maintain its position without issues.
[TWC 1917]

Yazu was still trudging, he secretly and intently hoped that whatever higher authority he was heading to wasn't lord Xyxer.  He however would have no idea where he was going just that he was being guided by a man with a story.  Yazu thought about his story and about how he had never known parents or a family having wandered into Kiri seemingly randomly as a child.  The closest thing he knew to parents were the handlers that Xyxer appointed to keep his blood luster in check.  And at that those people changed week to week.  He had his head down and looked back at Kozata periodically, it would be incorrect for Yazu to say that he feared the man, but it would also be completely incorrect for Yazu to say the strange Kozata did not warrant caution.  The truth of the matter is that Yazu had studied medical jutsu but only to an amateur level. More to understand other bodies seeing as how his body was strange compared to most.  He studied more so out of curiosity than any professional training. 

When Kozata revealed that he knew fuin jutsu and understood it well, Yazu was beside himself. He didn't show it too much outwardly but his heart fluttered with excitement.  He liked learning things about people and enjoyed conversation because his typical home was lonely and isolated. The fact that Kozata would reveal such information to him told Yazu that either a) the guy was planning to kill him anyway so didn't care that he knew, b) the man was that much more powerful than Yazu and didn't fear giving away crucial information or c) he just really didn't give a shit and was hoping to be done with Yazu as quickly as possible.

"I have yet to do much research with fuinjutsu, I know very little about it. I do enjoy learning though.  I however am unique whereas I specialize in ninjutsu, yet I have not received permission to learn any.  I came out originally to find someone to teach me, and as it turns out he didn't survive.long enough to show me."  Yazu had almost entirely let down his guard.  Thought there could be much to fear he hoped that Kozata instinct to be a good little ninja and just take him back to Kiri.  In the meantime he would just make conversation and meditate on the jutsu the foreign ninja had done in feeble attempt to save his own life.  
Yazu, though he didn't know why, liked Kozata. Though he knew if Kozata ever witnessed the monster within him they would be enemies.

Hmm, so from what Yazu was saying, perhaps he was less experienced than Kozata after all? At least, that's what the boy himself thought. If he didn't know much about fuuinjutsu, then he must be some kind of genin on a similar quest for power. Was he, then, so different from Kozata? Dio, however, though differently. Even if he was not familiar with the workings of fuuinjutsu, that didn't mean he was good with other things. For all he knew, this guy could really just be an expert in anything, and could be lying about it to him. It made him uneasy, slightly.
In addition, Dio wondered if the boy was analyzing Kozata as much as they were analyzing him. Yazu seemed not to give off such an air, but Dio knew that people could hide their intentions pretty well. Humanity was basically a bunch of liars, whether good or bad, and he, Dio, was not human. The things he told Kozata were truths indeed, though it may take a while for Kozata's dull mind to figure them out. Now, what was interesting was that the guy had now said that he specialized in ninjutsu... but hadn't he said earlier that he was a combat medic?
Kozata, of course, thought nothing of it. He didn't know much about healing, and thus, without Dio, he would probably have been easily fooled. He tended to believe that human beings were inherently good, which, while it did make him friendly, was a pretty naive belief. He had often been tricked in the academy as a result of this, something Dio sometimes wished that he had guided Kozata more on. However, it had probably been the right choice to leave him to learn these things on his own. After all, where was the fun in just telling his host how to live life?
Dio, naturally, caught this discrepancy in Yazu's words immediately. Such a foolish child.... did Yazu really believe, did he really think, that he, Dio, would be fooled by such a thing? No. Well, then, in that case, it was time for action. Punishment, that is, meted out by the strongest yuumei in the world...
-KOZATA. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.-
As much as he didn't like it, Kozata knew that Dio was the wiser between the two of them, and had the best intuition. So, he was at least somewhat obliged to follow his instincts. Oh well. It was time for him to feast.
"Don't lie to me, Yazu." As he began to speak these words, Kozata, who was definitely close enough to Yazu, stretched forth the palm of his hand and placed it against the portion of Yazu's back, right between Yazu's shoulder blades. This being done at maxumum speed, the chakra draining seals on his body would activate, and Kozata would drain Yazu of his chakra, rendering Yazu unconscious in an instant.
Should this attack succeed in full, Kozata would withdraw his hand, deactivating the seals. Mmmm... that chakra was truly banal. Nothing really special at all. How disappointing, Dio thought. With that, he hefted the boy over his shoulder and carrying him back to the village.
"How unpleasant..."  
[TWC 2447]

Yazu continued his gait forward and he had been trying to start conversation with Kozata, though Kozata was a strange one.  Even stranger than himself and had powers that Yazu didn't know much about.  However Yazu also knew that he had powers that Kozata may not know much about making them, and all of Kiri for that matter, strange.  Yazu was walking through the woods noticing that at this time at night it was likely no one would be around to form any sort of questioning of him.  He thought of the possibilitities and likely routes that this current situation may lead to, though he still never found any idea.  Assuming he'd be taken back to Xyxer's goons and flailed and possibly be threatened to be fed to the hounds and all the other forms of torture that Xyxer dreams up, and the Mizukage was an imaginitive man.

Yazu continued watching Dio, sizing him up and trying to determine the best course of action for escape, were he to need to.  He looked the guy up and down over his left shoulder.  The ninja appeared so plain and even though his eyes were strange they belied a lack of intelligence and even a degree of naivety.  He had trouble looking at Kozata and feeling like he was facing a challenging opponent.  Though something about him had Yazu weary, and this came as an even greater confusion to him.  Why be wary of such an underwhelmingly weak looking individual.  Then Yazu realized that, that might be key.  That might be the entire source of his capability.  A wolf in sheeps clothing.  Yazu was only slightly certain that, though Kozata seemed very plain, there was a sinister darkness deep within him, due to his active change in demeanor and syntax through the process of conversing.  Even knowing this though gave Kozata very little, a Fuinjutsu user who hides his true nature.  That accurately described a quarter of the entire ninja population.  He looked and noticed a copse of trees nearby that he could use his threads to climb up through and to guide his exit and escape from whatever torture he may face in the future.

They continued walking and just as they neared the copse of trees he saw Kozata's face become very stern and then Yazu could feel the murderous intent emanate from Kozata.  "Dont Lie to me Yazu" Kozata said.  They hadn't reached the trees at this point and Yazu had no other options in the way of a backup plan though when the words were said he went into flight mode.  It was than that Yazu realized that a back up plan would've been a wast of time anyway as the lightning quick Kozata had placed the palm into his back and he could feel a channel into his chakra core open.  It wasn;t a small hole either, it was a large gaping hungry hle that could devour massive amounts of chakra at once.  Yazu concentrated on holding back his threads to avoid any unwanted surgical exams that might come from his unconsciousness, even though the threads begged to be released and protect him.  As Yazu felt his chakra drain away he felt that Kozata would not kill him unless Yazu forced him to, and he was likely being attacked just to save Kozata the trouble of having to deal with a live prisoner.  He did nothing and allowed the attack to finish without showing his hand.  He collapsed forward and landed on his front side.  Yazu was well muscled and at 6'1" and about 160 lbs he wouldnt be an easy carry.  If kozata examined him it would just simply appear that he had thread stitching around his baody all over. With no hearts he had no Heart beasts on him, so nothing at all that would give away anything about his bloodline. 

While Yazu drifted into the realm of unconsciuosness he simply waited until he was pulled back into the land of the living once again.

Little did they know it, but Dio was unusual for a yuumei. Among those, he was probably the only one that would perhaps be classified as a "vampire", among other things. Sure, most if not all of the yuumei were entities that liked to consume chakra, due to the very nature of their dark power. It was essentially a chakra to destroy chakra, and energy that surpassed all others. At any rate, it was certain that Dio was different from the others. His thirst for chakra... was different. As Kozata had seen in the other world, Dio's consumption of chakra was akin to not just any old vampire feeding off of blood, but like some kind of monster, who could never sate himself on as the life energy of humanity itself.
It was thus, therefore, that whenever he drained someone, he was always looking for something new, something exciting. Now that he was able to sense chakra, something told him that draining the energy of that boy Tatsuo would yield interesting results. However, this one did not. Rather, the chakra that had belonged to the boy Yazu was... boring. It was stale and somewhat displeasing to Dio, whose disgust with it resonated through Kozata's mind.
Kozata, being a mere human, could not possibly comprehend what chakra tasted like. However, Dio sent some mental comparisons to Kozata, in order to convey what he felt. To him, it was like on one day, having the best food, like caviar, and cigarretes, and being surrounded by women who were well versed in etiquette and extraordinarily nice. Killer queens, he supposed, all of them. Then, on the next day, one's subsistence was reduced to living in an underwater sealed vessel painted yellow, and living off of waffles, canned soup and water for the rest of the week.
Despite the strange extended metaphor in his mind, Kozata didn't waste time. He examined Yazu's body for anything suspicious, and found it almost immediately. Threaded stitches... all over the guy's body! Had Dio not been in partial control, Kozata would probably have panicked and fled. Weird shit like that always ended up freaking him out, and he wasn't comfortable with it at all. Dio, however, managed to keep everything under control. Despite looking skinny, Kozata almost had the strength to lift an entire road roller (only 30 required for that), and so could lift the boy with relative ease.
At this stage, Kozata would be carrying Yazu over his shoulder, periodically draining the boy of his chakra, but only just enough to keep him under without causing any averse effects to Kozata himself. Even though eating Yazu's chakra was like eating raw celery with ranch sauce (eugh, Kozata hated that stuff with a passion), it was fine as long as Dio didn't complain about it too much, which luckily he did not. He would decide to bypass the guards entirely, instead standing there and channeling his chakra.
"Dio", he thought to the yuumei, "prepare a teleport."
-ONE SECOND HAS PASSED.-
He found that, if another person was with him, it was harder to teleport. As much as that made sense, he supposed that it was pretty annoying as well.
-TWO SECONDS HAVE PASSED.-
Before, it had taken him about eight seconds to teleport himself and whatever he had with him. However, with another person, he knew that it would take about one and a half times longer to do it.
-THREE SECONDS HAVE PASSED.-
At this point, he could feel the chakra and the yuumei churning within him, ready to interact with the other world... Mukou, the empty universe that was his own.
.... a few seconds later...
-THIRTEEN SECONDS HAVE PASSED.-
And with that, space and time bent, and Kozata was shunted out of the world and into Mukou, along with Yazu. He'd shunt Yazu back into the real world, in the hospital, where he'd recover from his drained state. In the meantime, he'd have to think up a report for lord Xyxer...

YAzu found himself in his inner consciousness, the location where he stored every bit of information he had acquired.  Mostly he would go through and do a cleansing at times but today he needed to add a valuable piece to this area.  He had discovered certain secrets while fighting the Iwa ninja but he needed to find where in his consciousness he stored it.  Yazu had always had a high level of intelligence and had a photographic memory capable of seeing a technique or something and capable of memorizing the movements necessary to do it.  It took little time at all for him to learn things.  As such when used on infiltration missions he could store vast amounts of information.  Though what he was doing with his subconscious was not something he could do often and he had minimal capability with searching through his stores of info.  He remembered the fight with the ninja.  The ninja would toss together hand signs and weave them in such a way that it seemed to channel earth chakra inward allowing for a form of health and strength augmentation.  Though Yazu had no difficulty penetrating the mans chest cavity and pulling out the heart, Yazu fet that this technique was worth learning immediately.  He scanned through th e memories to the fight and he relived it over and over.  The fight was a glorious battle and quite difficult for Yazu though on this day the threaded monster of the mist had prevailed.    He found the handsigns and reflected on the ones necessary to master such a Jutu.

Yazu then thought of his captor, he knew what happened to him that had rendered him unconscious though he didn't know its source. He currently did not have vast stores of chakra but he did have some.  Though most chakra draining sources don't drain in overly vast quantities this one did.  It felt like a fuin seal however it was more than that.  It felt like he was being devoured and eaten up.  He needed to know more about Kozata and needed to see his limits. but that would have to wait until he was a bit stronger.  That would have to wait until he could be in complete control of himself, until he had collected the necessary hearts.  for now he would just concentrate on being dynamite with a laser beam, gunpowder guillotine.  He would Master his thread launching and earth spear and become a force in Kiri. Maybe pretending to be a ninja could be fun.  Maybe he would enjoy that.
