Enjoy!
When Koun woke up, he was alarmed to see his parents at his bed side as if they had been there for hours.
"Mom? Dad?" He said.
"Koun, Zac came out again" His mother said, further alarming him.
"WHAT!" He said, "I thought the medication and therapy was working!"
He thought he was finally back to normal!
"Son. You need to calm down" His father said. "We called a doctor again to do a full DNA body sweep"
And Koun paused and said. "Why?"
"Zac said he'll leave you alone if we do it" His mother said. "The medication and therapy are clearly not working. This is the only option we have left"
"And what if he lied?" Koun said.
His parents did not want to think about it, they might have to keep him in a mental hospital, if he kept switching to the persona Zac.
Just than one of the Servants came into the room and said. "The Doctor is here"
"Don't worry, Son. We'll be right here" His father said.
A full-grown adult who they didn't even know wasn't going to see their son naked with him or his wife being there.
So, the man came in and began to swab his body from places he was comfortable with like his mouth or ears, before taking his shirt off or his PJ bottoms.
He was never fully naked, which was a good thing considering the man who did it, could feel the burning gazes of his parents behind him.
"I'm going to take the samples back to the lab" Said, the man. "You'll get the full body DNA results in a month"
Than the man left.
However, for the Hizuri family it couldn't be quick enough.
Because they had to wonder if Zac would come back.
Ch 4: The reveal of two minds in one body
Today was the test results day and Koun was picked up by his parents when he left school and they all drove to the Hospital.
Why they needed to be in a hospital, was beyond them all.
Shouldn't they have been mailed the results through post like usual?
They entered the Hospital and Koun felt like they were going to announce he had some kind of disease or something.
The mysterious number of people in black suit was alarming and they were taken to a door that was protected by those darkly dressed people.
They entered and found a group of people, including the man who took his DNA waiting for them.
All three of them were absolutely stunned to see the sight and wondered if they had entered some parallel world.
"Please sit down" Said, the man, it wasn't every day that somebody like Kuu and Julie were stunned.
They all took a seat and the door was closed behind him.
"Are you all doing a program or something?" His mother said, trying to not come across as alarmed like her child.
And for some reason the people behind the man was staring at Koun in fascination.
Koun did not know how to feel about that.
"Oh, no" Said, the man. "The hospital just wants to give you your results back"
"...Okay" His father said.
The man opened the envelope and said. "You have a very special child, Mr and Mrs Hizuri"
Both of them looked at each other.
Of course, as parents they know that.
Koun wondered where this was going.
"What has alerted the hospital and the government is your son's test results" Said, the man.
"What? The government!?" His mother said, why would the government want anything to do with her baby!?
Koun eyes were wide.
Oh, god.
He had a strange disease, didn't he?
"Mr and Mrs Hizuri." The Man said, as they all braised themselves. "Your son body contains two sets DNA that are completely different from each other"
Silence.
All of their eyes wide.
Wait.
Didn't a normal person only one type of DNA?
"Wait. Don't you mean he has one type of DNA?" His father said.
"No. Mr Hizuri. He has two types of DNA" The man said, dropping the bomb shell again. "There are certain parts of your child's body that hold a completely different DNA strand. Like the darker side of his chest. That isn't a Birthmark. It's holds a completely different DNA."
"What?" All three of them said.
"What does that mean?" His father said.
"It's mean's, your son has two people's DNA within" The man said, dropping another bomb shell.
"Eh?" Koun said, as his eyes grow wide.
H-He, had another person DNA within him?
"But that doesn't make sense" His father said.
"From your reaction's, you don't know about the condition called Chimerism" Said, the man, stunning all three of them. "It basically means two in one. In humans, it happens when a child absorbs his twin before they could both properly form yet. So, they are basically two people in one body."
His mother and Father looked at Koun who was stunned.
"Wait. What?" Koun said, "I'm a Twin?"
Suddenly he remembered a face.
Zac.
"Wait...are you saying that we shouldn't have had one but 2 babies', 14 years ago!?" His mother said, stunned.
"Correct" the man said, "Your son was supposed to be a twin but he absorbed the other which explained why one half of his chest is darker than the other. That half of his torso isn't actually his, but his twin."
And Koun looked ready to bend down from shock, his parents looked the same.
However, the people in the room gave them time to process all of this, knowing it was quiet a big bomb shell to swallow.
Those who are told experienced some degree of shock.
"...Wait. Does that mean, Zac isn't my split personality but my twin brother?" Koun suddenly said.
"Zac?" The man said. "Who's that?"
"A while ago, our child was diagnosed with Split personality Disorder" His father explained. "Both me and my wife heard about Zac when Koun was really small and he said it was his twin brother. A while ago, we were called into the Principle office and found our son calling himself Zac."
The man eyes widened until his eyes shone, and he wasn't the only one.
"There are many different types of Chimerism" The man said, "The world hasn't found them all and many do not even come in, to see if they might have the condition so we only know so little about it. Your son has Chimerism which is totally different from Split Personality disorder. Science has yet to meet a twin that has been absorbed and managed to survive to the point they have their own thoughts and feelings."
Koun was still shocked and out of it.
It was because of that, that Zac was about to spring into action.
"Koun. Let me burrow your body for a bit"
That was all Koun heard before he was pulled out of control and as a result his body suddenly flopping down.
"Koun?" His mother said, they had all seen him flop down and almost fall off his seat.
However, then they all saw his hairstyle visibly change and when he looked up, his parents had only seen that look once.
Zac.
"Hi, everybody" Zac said, cheerfully before putting up a peace sign. "I'm Zac Hizuri, nice to meet you"
The whole room was stunned.
Grown men almost fell off their chairs.
"So, it really was Chimerism" Zac said, "I was always wondering why I ended up in Koun's body. I talked to Koun a lot when he was toddler but stop talking to him, because people would think he was crazy. He's not crazy now, so I'm free to talk." he said with duck lips.
Everybody stared.
The very aura of a confused boy had transformed into one of high energy and cheerfulness.
"A-And who are you?" Said, the man adjusting his glasses.
"Zac Hizuri!" Zac said, "Koun's older brother. The one he absorbed in the womb. schön, deine Bekanntschaft zu machen. (nice to make your acquaintance.)"
Everybody there bent over from shock, hearing him speak German.
It just so happened that there was a German person in the room.
"Du sprichst Deutsch? (You speak German?)"The person said, as they all looked to see a blond-haired man with a moustache.
"Ja (Yes)" Zac said, before saying in English. "It's nice to have another German speaker here"
And the man smiled.
Seeing his reaction, they all know that what he said at the end wasn't nonsense and he really could speak German.
Everybody turned to Kuu and Julie.
"We didn't teach him that" Kuu said.
"I taught Koun some German when he was a toddler" Zac said, proudly.
"Amazing..." The man who had their DNA results said. "You're really functioning and alive"
"Of course, I am. But Koun wants his body back" Zac said, before he said. " So...Auf Wiedersehen" and then the body slumped again and they all visible saw his hair change back to normal.
Koun blinked to find the whole room staring at him.
"What?" He said, before saying. "Did Zac come out again?"
They were all alarmed by the massive shift in personality, there was no German in sight.
Seeing their faces, it confirmed it for him.
"So, what happens now?" His mother said, before smiled when she realised something.
She had two children to smoother with love even though they sheared the same body.
Out of his parents, she was the one taking the reveal better.
"Your child file has already been put under the Chimerism list" The man said, "It looks like your child shears his body with his twin brother. And legally, after a lot more tests to determine that he is in fact a genuine person who has his own thoughts and feelings, we can classify him as two people. If you wish to add Zac to your family register afterwards you can. If the is no hatred between Zac and Koun, they can split their time up and lead their own separate lives despite shearing a single body"
All three of them were stunned.
Just this morning, Zac was thought to be a split personality, now they were thinking of sending Zac to school!
"But how would people understand?" His mother said, "What about if people think it's a split personality?"
"The problem with Chimerism is that it's not very well known." The man said, "Those who are uniformed may classify it as Split Personality disorder not knowing there is actual science behind it. That where the government comes in. The government would like to use your fame to tell the world about it."
"Us go on TV?" His father said.
Koun eyes were wide.
"With the fame your family has, the whole world would be watching and be notified about your child" Said, the man.
"So, I'll be like a freak on display?" Koun said, shocking all of them.
Of course, he had been called such a name but he never took it to heart until now.
However, Zac had long since found out a way to control one part of his body while he consciousness.
So, he took control of his mouth.
"For god sake Koun, tell mom and dad" Came out of his mouth.
Everybody eyes were wide.
Zac?
"Mom. Dad." The mouth said, while everybody stared and Koun looked shocked. "Remember when I dangled that kid out of the window?"
Both parents looked at each other before slowly nodding.
"That kid has been bullying Koun for the past 2 years." His mouth said, stunning both of them. "For the past two years I've watched kid's pick on Koun, simply because of his look's. Why do you think Koun didn't want to go to school?"
Both of them were stunned and Koun wanted to die.
"Those scars run deep and he might get bullied again" Said, the mouth.
But than they were all surprised to hear.
"Koun, just go on television. If anybody dares to bully you again. I'll make sure they have nightmares about me and I'll do it without getting caught"
Silence as everybody stared at his mouth.
Zac Hizuri...
A criminal in the making?
"And you won't do it alone. You got me" The mouth said, "Isn't it natural for a big brother to protect his little brother? Your no longer alone so if you want to cry, come to me and I'll smoother you like a mother hen."
The last part stunned him the most.
Koun face flamed.
Everybody watching was amused to see this.
And scene!
