Well… I know it's been a while. School and many other things have kept me from even thinking about fanfiction T.T I'll work on my other stories soon my lovely readers, but for now I give you this. Already all the way written (spent an entire Saturday on this in front of a computer, determined not to stop till I was finished) just for you guys :D I warn you, later chapters get kind of grotesque, and there are a few curse words as well, so just to be safe I made it M rated (3 Well, I hope you enjoy my version of how Zetsu became to be what he is today! Oh and there will be lots of quick updates :)

Betrayal and death can change a person. It can turn a person, a good person, into someone dark and cruel. It can strip a person of their trust. It can leave a person twisted and contorted. These words define the lives of two young twins. It started on the night of their birth.

Katashi paced back and forth, unable to sit calmly with the sounds of his wife's screams in the other room. She was in pain, she was in agonizing pain, and there was nothing he could do about it. With each scream his stomach reched farther into the deep abyss forming in his gut. He had a terrible feeling, he didn't want her to go through with this. She wasn't healthy enough for this, she was too small. Even the doctor told her she shouldn't try.

Katashi stopped still, all the tension dieing for a moment as he remembered Aina's words.

"Katashi, my love, you have nothing to worry about. I'm stronger than you think" she said gently, placing her hand softly on his cheek. The man looked worried beyond belief, the inner-conflict clouding his mind with raw confusion.

"But Aina, what if something does happen. It doesn't matter how strong you are, if your body can't take it then you'll…" He couldn't finish the sentence, choking on the words. He swallowed them and continued. "I-I don't know what I would do without you.. You're everything to me!" He said, holding desperately to the hand over his cheek, as if it were a life line. She smiled sweetly.

"I know, I know. And you are everything to me, Katashi." She smiled and caressed his cheek with her thumb. "But you know I have always wanted a child, and I'll fight as hard as I can for them, just as I'll fight as hard as I can to keep my promise to you." Her gaze hardened, looking behind him, with the determination she felt. Katashi found it hard to imagine his frail, sickly wife fighting anything. He felt tears welling up behind his eyes and forced them back. Aina brought his forhead to hers, closing her eyes, in an attempt to reassure and comfort him. "Do you remember my promise, Katashi?" She said. He nodded, his eyes clenched shut.

"Yes, I remember. But, could you… I-I just want to hear it again." he said, his voice cracking. Aina smiled,

"Of course." She spoke even more softly, caressing his face again. "I promise you, Katashi, I will not leave you alone again. You'll never lose me."

Katashi stared down worriedly at the picture in his hand, the picture of his wife, her gentle smile, her long, brilliant green hair. He chuckled sadly. Yes, it was an odd hair color, but it made her look more beautiful and special than anyone else. He didn't know what he would do without her.

He snapped back to reality when one, particularly loud scream echoed through the house.

"Come on Aina, just a little harder and you'll be done…" He rushed over to the door, waiting anxiously for it all to be over. He held tightly onto the doorknob, waiting for it to be over and done with so he could go to his wife and make sure she was okay.

As soon as he heard the cry of the baby, he burst in, eyes wide and went to his wife's side, not even taking notice of the child.

"Ai-" He began. But she was still in pain.

"What…" The nurse began. Aina was still squirming on the bed, pushing and screaming, sweat pouring off of her.

"There's another one…" The nurse said grimly. She tried to escort Katashi out of the room, but he refused, he couldn't take being out there any more. She told him to stay out of the way and he knelt beside of Aina, holding her hand tightly. She grew weaker and weaker, and she lost more and more blood and sweat. He didn't know how long he sat there, witnessing his wife in so much pain, screaming in agony but still fighting hard and continueing to push. He wished the damn child would just come out already. But it didn't.

"She can't take much more of this…" he heard the nurse mutter. He started to panic, looking between his wife and the nurse frantically. It's these damn children, their doing this. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't of had to go through this. He held to her hand harshly and she opened her eyes looking at him curiously,

"Katashi, plea-". Another contraction captured her attention once more.

He couldn't take it anymore, he had to do something. He couldn't take it. The child in the corner began to cry. Something in Katashi snapped. He stood up, taking a knife that was used to cut the child's umbilical cord, and stomped towards the child. The child cried louder, sensing the danger and the other nurse who held him backed away slowly, wide-eyed and terrified.

"S-sir…" She muttered. He didn't even flinch, eyes dark and stony. He ripped the child from her arms and back-handed the nurse into the floor when she tried to take him back.

He looked down coldly at the crying babe. It was pale and cried harshly. It opened its eyes and he saw his eyes looking back at him, a sickening yellow. His fist clenched around the frail boy's arm, breaking it and the baby screeched.

"What's going on over there?" The nurse tending to his wife asked, turning to see. "Mr. Yuuta!" she screeched. But she couldn't move from Aina, so she called for help. He continued to stare at the babe in disgust. It even had her green hair…

He lifted the blade that brought the child into the world, and aimed to plunge it into the screaming child's chest. But a hand caught him and wrestled the blade a way from him.

"Yuuta, stop this! What are you doing!" a woman's voice came from behind him. He turned his icy glare at her, still holding the baby, clenching the broken arm tightly.

"Emi, he's lost it. I don't think he's listening." The man said, the one who stopped him and took the blade. The man went to try to take the baby from Takashi, but Takashi punched him in the face before he even touched the boy.
"Hayato!" She said. She glared at him, took two steps, and slapped him harshly across the face. He stood there, aghast, frozen. His wife still screamed, his baby still cried. He slowly looked at Emi, her stern face glaring daggers. He looked down at the child, and his eyes went wide. He almost dropped it, but Emi quickly snatched him first.

"Go to Aina." She said with a stony edge. He numbly staggered to his wife's side.

"Ai-Aina." He stuttered. She was pale, barely breathing. Somehow she still managed to push.

"K-Katashi." She whispered, barely audible. Her voice was so rasp, Katashi felt tears coming to his eyes. "Don't be mad. I did my best." She choked out. Fear started to rise up from the abyss he felt had formed in his gut. "The first one," she said, looking at the baby she already delivered. "His name is Nobuyuki." She said, panting. "And the other one… his name is…." She thought for a moment. "Yori."

He nodded, stroking her clammy face. Whatever she wanted. As long as she was okay, he didn't care.

"Katashi." She wheezed.

"Yes?"

"Make sure they are happy, okay?" She said with a weak, soft smile.

"A-aina." He said desperately, his fear rising even higher.

"I'm sorry Katashi, I'm afraid I can't keep all of my promise…" She said.

"Aina! No! You said you wouldn't leave me alone!" He said, his voice raising, cracking as he panicked.

Another cry reverberated throughout the room and she finally relaxed, and smiled at her accomplishment.

"Aina!" He shouted as she closed her eyes.

"Katashi, my love, I only said part of my promise. You will not be alone." She was fading fast.

"She's lost too much blood." The nurse looked panicked.

"Aina, stay with me! Please!" He sobbed and cried, holding onto her hand and her face desperately.

"You won't be alone, Katashi… I'm not leaving you alone. Please understand that. You have th…" She whispered, the last part inaudible. Dark edges formed around her vision as she looked at her husband one last time. She gave him a gentle smile, his voice muffled, shouting her name.

"AINA!" He shouted one last time, tears streaming down his face. The darkness took her.
