A/N: Here's chapter two, hopefully its as good as it should be.

Souji winced as he rubbed his head, he was trying to find a way out but it was all to no result. He sighed and looked at Yukiko who was still out cold. "I guess I should walk to some place that's safer then this..." He said as he picked her up and then began to walk towards a heavily wooded area in the large field of snow.

As he walked through, he felt another presence nearby. He began to speed up until he saw a group of trees bunched together. "That should be good for now" He said as he set Yukiko down and removed his trench coat then set it down on top of her. "That should keep her somewhat warm while I try to find some help." He then ran further into the forest until he felt a pressure around him. "Ngh! What the?!" He yelled out as he fell down to one knee.

From one of the trees came out a man wearing a white robe and a mask, the robe was lined with some golden thread and an insignia representing the number ten. He looked at Souji as a light surrounded his hand and formed an intricate blade which resembled the blade of Totsuka. "What the?!" He yelled out as he got back up, fighting against the pressure. The person laughed as he removed his mask, revealing a young face resembling Souji himself. His eyes were a shade of dark red, almost like blood and his hair was golden and reached up to his shoulders.

"I see....so he sent you here....I guess I have to take you out" He said with a demonic grin, his face brimming with joy as he readied the ominous blade. Souji quickly jumped back and looked around to find anything he could use as a weapon but all to no avail. "My name is Mozou. I hope you can at least live more then the last person I killed in here. Humans can be such weaklings." He said with a quick sigh then charged straight at him.

Souji quickly dove out of the way then turned and swiftly kicked Mozou sending him into one of the surrounding trees. "Don't underestimate me or else you'll end up dead" He called out as he avoided an incoming thrust from the ominous blade and returning the hit with a swift uppercut that sent Mozou back. Souji got ready as he continued evading the swift thrusts from the blade. "I thought humans were weak Mozou" He called out as he quickly countered and slammed his knee into Mozou's gut making him reel back.

"ngh....pathetic human! Don't underestimate me!" Mozou yelled out as he disappeared then appeared in front of Souji making his eyes widen as the blade went across his chest. He then fell to his knee as blood dripped from the open wound. "You are all the same....high and mighty then when someone stronger then you appears! You get on your knees and beg like a dog!" His grin was now spread across his face as he swung the blade down on Souji but missed. "What the?!" He called out but all of a sudden got sent back by a swift fist to the face.

Souji stood in front of him with aura surrounding his hand. "I'll show you just how strong humans can be!" He yelled out as a card formed in his hand followed by him crushing it. "Persona!" He yelled out as a shattering sound rang out followed by Izanagi No Okami. "This is it!" He yelled out as he held his hand out. "Megidolaon!' He said as Izanagi spun his blade then launched a burst of light which exploded once it made contact with Mozou.

"A human with such power?!" Mozou said with a growl as he stood back up. "I'll show you....I'll show you!" He yelled out as a black seal formed behind him followed by a shattering sound. "Come forth from thy dark slumber! Kuro Izanagi!" Souji's eyes widened as he looked into the eyes of another Izanagi, this one had armor that looked as if had been shaped by demons themselves. His grin was now completely demonic as he called out. "Hell's judgment.."

Souji's eyes widened as he say vines shoot out of the snow covered ground and wrap themselves around followed by roots breaking out of the ground and completely binding him to that exact spot. "ngh..d-damnit..." He said as he felt his vision going away from the constriction of the vines and roots. "please.....don't give out on me..." He mumbled to himself as he struggled to get out but the vines only tightened. He then went out cold from a lack of oxygen but as he lost consciousness he heard a voice.

"Hold on Sensei I'm coming!" The voice yelled out as ice shot out of the ground and surrounded Mozou creating a dome around him. "There that should hold him" the person called out as he pulled out his claws and slices the vines and roots letting Souji fall to his knees and catch his breath. "Sensei long time no see its me Teddie!" He said with a warm smile but as soon as Souji looked up he pointed in the direction of the dome. "Its...ngh...breaking" He said as he coughed and gasped for air.

Teddie growled and placed his other claw on. "Sensei leave this guy to me...you go and rest up...get Yuki-chan outa here also" Souji nodded as he stood up and ran back towards the area where he left Yukiko asleep. He winced as he ran, the wound on his chest still bleeding and then suffering from a few broken ribs because of the vines and roots that attacked him. Teddie got ready as the dome shattered sending fragments of ice everywhere.

"A lowly shadow attacking me?" Mozou said as he dashed at Teddie and lunged forward. Teddie just stood there then quickly parried the attack with his claws followed up by a series of slashes from them that made Mozou fall to his knees from the pain of the multiple cuts. "Ngh...I see you are pretty skilled for a lowly shadow" He said as he disappeared and then appeared behind Teddie. "But not enough..." He said as Teddie was sliced into bits but he noticed it wasn't Teddie at all, but a large block of ice.

Teddie grinned as the card appeared in front of him. "Let's do this! Kintoki Douji!" He yelled out as he sliced the card in mid-air followed by a shattering sound. Mozou's eyes widened as he noticed massive icicles rushing at him from different directions. His grin widened as he held his hand out. "This is the beary end! Bufudyne!" He yelled out as the icicles impacted him at once freezing him in place. As he landed the ice shattered and Mozou collapsed to the ground, his body encased in a thin layer of ice and his breathing was hastened. "Leave sensei alone..." He said as he walked away.

Mozou winced from the pain in his body, it felt like his body was on fire yet he was freezing cold. He growled as he began to fade in black flames. "I'll get you back you damn shadow...."

Meanwhile Souji was next Yukiko and resting until he looked up and saw Teddie approaching them. "How did it go Teddie?" He said as he winced from the pain of the wounds. Teddie knelt down next to Souji and looked over at Yukiko. "Sensei we should go to the house the others help me build so you two can rest." Souji nodded and stood up as he picked Yukiko up and looked over at Teddie. He nodded then began to walk while following Teddie.

Meanwhile; in the human world, The man who was impersonating Souji winced as he collapsed and held his arm. "Is this transformation....really that hard to take?" He growled as random memories flashed through his eyes. "I don't need these useless things!" He yelled out as he continued recalling different events.

Flashback:

A Man with blood red hair stood against a wall as a younger boy swung his sword at the air. "Put more strength into your swing Ryousuke" The man called out as he studied the way he swung the sword.. Ryousuke nodded then began to swing with more strength than before. "Like this?" He asked as he swung his sword. The man nodded then kept watching intently until he finally grabbed the blade and shook his head. "That's enough for now...we have to work on something else anyways" He said with a chuckle then sat down on a nearby seat.

"We.....are guardians of the Kirojo Family Ryousuke...do you know what that means?" He called out then crossed his arms as he spoke. "No? Alright then I'll tell you. It means we are their protectors. When they step into that tower it is our job to stop the shadows from harming them...today is your test" He called out with a light hearted chuckled. "Don't worry you'll pass Ryousuke...just don't rush things anyways you'll be guarding Mitsuru Kirijo the daughter of our boss so do a good job ok"

Ryousuke nodded then readied his sword. "I will dad....don't worry about me I've trained more than enough." The man chuckled. "Alright then how bout we go and get something to eat on me for now" Ryousuke nodded then followed the man to a nearby food stand. "Anyways...something you Have to remember is....Don't overuse your sword...it leads to wear tear and rust....and you don't want that do you?" He asked with another laugh.

Ryousuke nodded then sighed. "My first test is today...but...what if I get nervous" He asked while wondering what would happen. Would he be to scared to fight? Would he even be any worth? he sighed again as he stopped asking himself. "Don't worry you won't....myself and your mother didn't so you don't need to worry...anyways...get ready...cause its time"

End Flashback

His eyes turned a dark gold and his face became darker."Why do your useless memories haunt me!" He yelled out with a snarl then closed his eyes as more and more images flashed through clenched his headas another imaged flashed before him. "You.....Why?" He said as he fell over out cold.

He continued seeing the images even when he was out cold. Only not knowing that outside of the Dojima house stood Naoto with a serious expression. "Souji.....why are they after you?" She said as she held a poster of Souji, on the top of the poster it said. "Wanted for Kidnapping and possible murder" She sighed as she walked towards the door and turned the doorknob. The sight she saw made her eyes widen in shock as she dropped the paper.
