Outskirts of Central

Takashi led Kotaro through the Outskirts, walking into a decent looking one story house. He pointed to Tosh laying on the couch asleep and comfortable under a warm blanket.

Dante saw Tosh on the couch and put away Zero. "You took care of her?" He asked. "Made sure she was looked after?"

Takashi nodded, getting a warm tingling sensation inside. "Yeah, she's almost like a sister to me... well she kinda is but..." he shrugged.

Tosh stirred some before waking up, blinking and taking in the sights.

Dante sighed. "Then I thank you for that, but I still have anger towards you for kidnapping her." He saw Tosh wake. He said nothing.

Takashi nodded and watches Tosh wake up. Tosh sat up, rubbing her eyes and yawned.

Dante leaned against the nearby wall. "You alright Tosh?"

Tosh looked slowly to Dante, eyes widening. "Kotaro!" she said before nodding. She then looked to Takashi who was wearing a nervous smile. He held out the goodies for her.

"Um, here ya go..." he said, not understanding why he's nervous.

Tosh smiled and took the bag, starting to eat a chocolate bar. "Yum! Thanks you!" she exclaimed.

[going to bed =w= night!]

Dante waved and sighed. He turned to Takashi. "Next time just ask to talk." He said walking further away into the building.

[Night!]

Takashi nodded, looking down. Tosh tilted her head at his changed attitude, him seeming more vulnerable. Takashi took notice to this and said "I guess I'm developing your personality..." he said sheepishly. Tosh nodded.

Dante stopped in one of the hallways and leaned against the wall. He gritted his teeth. There was this clone, Takashi. There was always more then one. For checks and balances. Son of a bitch military dogs!

Takashi started his story. "I am your clone, made from Garsher when he took a DNA sample of you at the Decaying Wargrounds..."

Tosh's eyes widened in shock. "You're...my clone?"

[Bah i gtg in a few Dx hair appointment TT_TT]

Dante sighed and reached into his bag. He pulled out his flute. He hadn't played it in so long. He had forgotten he even had it. He placed it to his lips and started to play.

[Alrighty then! XD]

Takashi heard the sound of the flute, him looking down and going into a state of ecstasy. He shook his head before continuing. "Someone in the military have been watching how you fight and how you are. They looked in your records and tried to recruit you in the past as a young child and instead of recruiting, they started making..."

Tosh looked down and balled her fists angrily.

[byes ]

[Later]

[blargh, back for an hour ಠ_ಠ]

"They only made one clone of me just to test how good I am, they felt that they should start making more but soon my reasoning started to form in my mind and I decided that it won't happen. And with that, one day when they were doing examinations, I started killing the guards and scientists and evidence of this whole thing. Only thing I didn't destroy was your files.." Takashi said.

Dante gritted his teeth again. "So you could find her." He punched a wall. "Need to find out who was using it after Garsher died."

Takashi looked up at Tosh, a sad look in his eyes. "I... felt like my existence was for naught... so I took you so that I probably learn more about myself... not just be a simple copy..." His hair shadowed his eyes.

Tosh had a sympathetic look on her face.

Dante shook his head and placed his hand on Takashi's shoulder. "I know how you feel, I'm a clone as well." He sighed. "Your not just a copy. You have your own feelings don't you?"

Takashi looked up at Dante, a puzzled look on his face. He then nodded, understanding.

Tosh nodded too but more cheery. "Besides! Why would I want my own self to live?" she showed her trademark grin. Takashi then had a look of hope on his face.

Dante gave a weak smile and patted Takashi on the back. "Just keep faith Takashi." He looked at Tosh. "Guess you got yourself a brother."

"A Brother?? Yaaaay!" Tosh said before glomping Takashi. Takashi fell back, a bit confused at first then smiled before laughing genuinely.

Dante smiled. They looked like twins. "Your going to need to keep your identity secret though."

Takashi nodded. "Yeah, what I did was kind of recent but I doubt they caught on yet. Still though." He said getting up.

Dante wondered if they would go after Tosh when they found out. "If they find out they will want to make another, or at least lead you into a trap."
