"Come on Max... Tell meeeee!!"
Max kept walking, her hands clenched tightly into fists at her sides. Man, this kid really knew how to pull at her most raw of all subjects --
"...Pleasssssee... Just tell me... You said you weren't a duelist, but whats with the deck?"
He spoke, as he jogged up beside her, tugging on the edge of her black jacket. Closing her gray eyes, Max growled, as her muscles tensed. She had been trying to ignore the kid since he had been digging through her stuff, but he obviously wouldn't let it die.
"Look, Izzy... How many times do I have to tell you? I just... don't... duel!"
She barked at him, opening her eyes to look down into the boy's bright blue orbs. Ugh, not that look... Those puppy dog eyes, always got to her... Letting out a low groan she pulled from Izzy's grip.
"Knock it off... You know I don't use those things... So stop buggin' me..."
Turning with another low grumble, Max started to walk away, as she crossed her arms over her chest. Leaving Izzy to stand there, his expression still held, and not yet discouraged. Looking down at the stack of cards in his hands, the boy shrugged and chased after Max, grinning like a fool. Letting out a sigh, the girl spotted the happy little kid following after her as if he never heard a single word she had said.... Boy, this kid was just... unexplainable...

Kinsei kicked at the leaves on the trail with the toe of his boots. 'Its fucking boring... why'd they kick us out again?' 'Because they didn't have the money or resources to help ME, Sonji...' 'Hey you brat, I'm here too. I think I'm the one who needs more help than you. I'm stuck in the mind of 20 year old who hasn't had even had sex yet, let a lone even thought about it!'[/i]
A bright blush lit Kinsei cheeks at his alternate personalities words and he fell silent. Instead he busied himself at his notepad, sketching out pictures of soft little roses he often dreamed about. They were odd looking, the petals spotted and spread broad like creeping arms reaching out to hug you.
Black eyes trailed up to watch a pair of people approach and he smiled nervously, standing up from the bench. "H-hi,"he said, not having much experience with people in general. One couldn't really count Sonji as human contact, considering he was more of a monster. "Would you allow me to draw you two?"he asked nervously, looking down with black eyes.
'Ick... Why couldn't you have stopped to talk to a guy with a tight ass?' 'Because... I know what you'd do...' 'And your point?[/i] Kinsei mentally sighed and he shook his head a bit. The wind blew by suddenly to ruffle his white tipped black hair.
((Not one of my best posts, considering I'm still trying to get use to having a character who has a disorder like Kinsei's. xD;))

Izzy looked up with a big smile drawing over his face, his blue eyes, brighter and happier then usual. Nodding, he held the cards in his hand tighter for a moment, before pushing them at Max, still smiling, as he gave her that puppy dog look again.
"Max?"
The boy said simply, his tone bright and far too cheery. Phoenix shook her head and groaned, staring at the deck that had been involuntarily given back to her. Shaking her head, grey eyes rolled, before glaring at the boy. He was really working her nerves today, first the stupid thing with these cards, and now some stranger wants to draw them, and this kid wants to do it? Izzy really would never understand how much he annoyed her, and the fact that she wished to be alone, a word this kid obviously didn't know...
"First, I don't want these damn things... Second, haven't you ever learned not to talk to strangers? Like me? Besides, I wouldn't waste my money..."
Turning, so that she could no longer stare at those big freakin' eyes, Max nearly fell backward, as she looked down at the large canine. "Jeez..." She grumbled, staring at her companion, she had no idea that 'the shadow had been there in the first place, let alone to have her just appear out of no where. Shaking her head, Max stroked the canine's head, though the creature's dark gaze studied the stranger for a moment, before looking up at Max, giving her 'innocent loyal lap dog' act. God, she hated to do that... It was times like this, the creature actually missed the wings... though the feeling passed quickly. Izzy stared up at Max, though she no longer faced him. He shrugged, as though he heard the opposite of what had been said...
[much better then what I could do... xD... Anyway, mine aren't all that great, so... yah...]

"Oh no! I wasn't going to charge anything..."Kinsei said,"I just was thinking you'd like to help me better myself... I drew a lot at my... er... care facility." A snort echoed in his mind. 'Care facility my ass!' Kinsei pointedly ignored Sonji's rude remarks and smiled nervously to the pair. "Please,"he said,"I can do it quickly and your dog may join the picture as well."
He glanced down slowly. "Of course, I'm sure you have better things to do..."he murmured softly,"I'll just wait for the next person. I don't have much experience with people, so... Its understandable that I'm not well liked." A cheery smile came to his lips and he returned to his bench.
'Heh... using a guilt trip. You learned something from me after all.'

Growling slightly, Phoenix shook her head, keeping her back to both the child, and this other person. Wasted money, wasted time... Either way it was something of hers that would be lost... And if there was anything that Max hated it was losing anything that she owned. Turning finally as the guy tried to play this 'game' with her.
"Stop that! I give no, pity, and I don't take it either. You draw what you wish, but I have places to be... Trust me, I could care less about someone else's problems, I've got enough of my own. Got it?"
'The shadow' shook her head slightly. There she goes, her fuse is far too low... Yelling at strangers, boy has she truly fallen... I remember when... Shaking her head yet again, only this time to stop herself from diving into Max's past. Memory, was the most important thing that the creature had, but thinking back to what Max 'used' to be, though it was a shame... Letting off a sigh, the orange haired girl stared at the guy for a moment, her eyes twitching slightly.
"Do as you please..."
Max spoke, her tone deep, as she tried to chill out. Yea, she knew there was no reason to have freaked out, but still it was just those little things that triggered other things.... Leading to an explosion... Izzy stared at her, his eyes holding concern. This boy had in fact payed attention to everything she did and said, and he also learned that Max must have something on her mind to go off like that... "Max... it's okay..." As if it mattered what the boy said...

Suddenly Kinsei held his head and furrowed his brows. 'Sonji, no! You can't! She didn't mean it. I was annoying her.' 'Yeah, but she doesn't have to be a goddamn bitch about it. I want fuckin' revenge!' 'No-!!' But it was too late. Sonji forced his way free from the iron cage Kinsei kept him and instead pushed the gentler boy back.
Black eyes suddenly paled to snow white, the black pupil even turning white as well. Hair that was white turned black while hair that was black turned to white. A menace aura seemed to fill white orbs and a low growl rumbled up from a small chest, crawling and ripping from a vibrating throat.
'Please!' a voice echoed in the monsters mind but it was unheard. Strong hands suddenly clinched around the girl's throat, using strength that shouldn't have been in such a small body. "Still have your own problems, girlie?"hissed the monster into her ear.
((Sorry. >_<))

[Hehe, not your fault! Besides I never keep OOC grudges, plus Phoenix provoked him...^.^]
Before any of the three in the little rag-tag group, could even react, Max was in his grasp. Izzy, yelped and stepped forward slightly. Glancing between her master and the young one, the canine moved in front of the kid, herding him backward, until he stumbled back, and fell, sitting there, staring rather dumb founded, he whimpered slightly. He was only ten, but had a strong heart, and tried to act courageous, but this was not one of those times...
"Have, and always will, hun..."
Max's tone was choked, obviously, but her voice was deep, and darkened as she acted uneffected by all of this. Wrapping her hands around his wrists, as she gave no struggled, but allowed her grasp to tighten. Grinning, it looked as if Phoenix wasn't having difficulty breathing...
A deep, shattering, snarl erupted from the large creature. This was enough, though she was a peaceful soul, and tried to solve things, before acting in the harsh nature of this form, but she made an exception to this... 'The shadow' had taken it upon herself to protect Max, as her other means of protection had been taken away, and for good reason. Now this was her time to shine. Pearly white fangs gleamed, as she held a pose, ready to leap, or dodge, whatever it took.
"Get off of her!" Pausing, almost taken back by her own words the canine shook her head. It was a fluke... unless...

Without warning Sonji stumbled back, his white eyes narrowing angrily. "Back off, Kinsei!"he snarled lowly. 'STOP!!! Leave her alone!'Kinsei screeched, fighting Sonji for control of their body. Tears leaked from white eyes but they were that of Kinsei's.
Suddenly Sonji stumbled back, panting gasp heaving from his mouth before everything returned to normal. White was once more black and black was once more white. Kinsei fell to his knees, panting. Tears dripped down from his eyes and he trembled a bit. "I..." he said softly stumbling up slowly,"I... I'm sorry..."

Max stared blankly as she stumbled back, her hands going straight to her throat, removing the silver choker she wore, as she panted, taking in her breath as it was a long lost friend. Shaking her head slowly, orange locks bounced around, until, Max made her way against a tree to balance herself, and stare at the guy on the ground. "Well that was... different..."
'The shadow' tilted her head, lips dropping down to cover her fangs again. She blinked, still in her pose, and on edge, but her eyes held a slight concern. Taking a cautious step forward, she parted her jaws to speak as she had done, involuntarily before, but now sound came. Well, that was fun while it lasted... She shook her head, and kept her dark gaze on the human.
"It's okay!"
Izzy exclaimed, standing and running over to the stranger. Max shook her head and groaned. This kid was a complete fool... The girl remained against the tree she sighed, and just stood by, not quite sure what happened, but had suddenly become interested. One brow lifted as the large canine's eyes widened at the boy's actions. What is he thinking! Stop! She growled, her teeth clamping down on the ten-year-old's shirt, tugging him back. Too nice for his own good... 'The shadow' thought, rolling her eyes.

"I... I'm sorry,"Kinsei whispered once more, wiping his eyes,"I... I have multiple personality disorder and that was my... my alternate personality, Sonji... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean for him to come out. He's... he's hard to control... I'm suppose to be in an institution but they had to close it down... I'm so sorry."
He moved towards his fallen art pad and picked it up. A tear fell down onto the smooth pale paper before he picked up a pencil. Quickly he wiped away the small droplet and let out a suffering sigh. Looking to the girl moved forwards slowly. "Are... are you ok?"he asked softly, shying away from her.
Sonji growled softly. 'I fucking hope she knows how to lock her door at night,'he hissed angrily. 'You've caused enough damage! Bud out, Sonji! For once in your life, just leave me be!'

Izzy stared angrily at the canine that held him back. Crossing his arms he sighed and gave in, allowing 'the shadow' to push him back. Standing in front of the child, the canine sat down on the ground, staring at stranger, her expression curious and slightly confused. This was interesting, of course she knew of such an illness, but it was very much like some with millennium items... Then again, she couldn't sense any, and hadn't seen one either... Shaking her head, the canine remained silent and still, seeing as there was nothing else she could do...
Max drew her head back slightly as she was spoken to. "Eh... yea... I'm just fine..." She shook her head, and rubbed her neck again, trying to rid herself of that terrible sensation. The girl shuddered slightly, trying not to think of the inevitable memory, the one that she had been so unfortunate to hold on to. Sighing, Max closed her grey eyes, letting the images flow, treating them like nothing but a meer inconvenience.
'The shadow's' tail flicked as she stepped forward, to stare deeply at the one who had attacked her master. She tried to study him, to try and learn what she could, putting it in her 'vault'. Letting off a gently whimper, she let her gaze soften with a step forward. Max would understand the other human's problem, if she had her memories, but they were long gone, leaving only the canine to know them...
[crapishness! xD]

((xD It wasn't that bad))
Kinsei looked towards the dog and gave a nervous yet gentle smile. He reached a soft, gentle hand out and gently scratched the canine's ears lightly. "Is there anything I can do to... to redeem myself in your eyes?"he asked looking towards Max,"And... My name is Kinsei Sonji. Its nice to have met you... just not to have almost killed you..."
He looked down guiltily. 'Stop it, you weak brat!'Sonji hissed angrily in his mind, being promptly ignored. "Perhaps I can draw you something,"he asked hopefully,"Anything you wish and is within my power. Or perhaps buy you lunch? I don't have much money but I can get you and your friend a burger if you like..." A smile came to his lips.

The canine blinked. He was good... she could feel it, his aura was soft and calm, but darkness had overwhelmed 'the shadow's' senses as he had attacked Max. It was true, though no lie, no joke, but it was almost sad to see something like this happen to a gentle soul. Tilting her head, the creature wondered, how this had been sparked. Most are not born with this illness, they gain it later on, due to something troubling... Some kind of pain... With the wings she could learn this, but that was out of the question. Why had the item been so tempting lately?
Max shook her head and put one hand out in front of her. "I hold no grudges. Well, not against you at least... Anyway, I get that you didn't do it voluntarily." She spoke motioning to her companion, it was enough that the creature had taken to the stranger, so she trusted him... Sorta... "No need to waste your money on us, really. Theres no need..." She sighed, and turned her gaze away, something else on her mind, which was more then obvious, and the canine nodded in understanding.
Izzy grinned, as he stood, dusting himself off, and came to 'the shadow's' side. His light blue gaze up at Kinsei. "Are you better now?" He asked sweetly, as if the fact that his 'friend' had been attacked, made no difference. That was what Max never understood about the little ankle-biter.

Kinsei smiled and nodded. He looked down to the picture of the rose he'd drawn before tearing it out and handing it to Izzy. "Here,"he said softly,"Since your guardian doesn't wish for you to stop and let me draw you have this... Its just a sketch and not a very good one but I like it."
He sat down with his knees to his chest and scratched at the canine happily, purring and chuffing softly to it. "What are your names?"he asked leaning his head on the canine's chest, still stroking her fur almost tenderly,"And what do you call her? She's sweet." Trailing his eyes back to the two humans, he watched them with interest.

Izzy smiled brightly, accepting the paper with a nod and a big grin. "Thank you, very much! It looks great!" He paused, studying the paper with great appreciation, and care. A though occurred to him, the time he found that notebook in Max's stuff.... But then she took it away before he could look inside... He'd have to ask her about that later... Max remained still and silent, just leaning on the tree, her arms crossed against her chest, as she blinked slowly... Ugh, guardian? Please, no one gets this, the kid follows me around, bugs me, and I want nothing to do with it!
"I'm Izmaru, but everyone calls me Izzy! And that's Max..." He paused, that big grin still plastered on his face. The boy opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off as the orange haired girl pushed away from the tree, and stepped forward, her gaze on Kinsei.
"Actually, I have no idea what my real name is, Max is just short for Phoenix, the name I have taken as my own." Max stopped, her tone not quite as dark and rude as before. "As for her, I don't remember her name either... So we call her 'The Shadow'..."
The canine leaned into Kinsei's touch, showing that she had already forgiven him. My name? I haven't even used my name well, since Max's accident I guess... Isibis... The creature shuddered as she thought silently, seeing as her words had only been audible while Max was in danger.
