A/N: Near the end of the chapter, there's going to be two Firions (One is the Aristocrat version and the other is the Street version) but each with their own personality (Also it's in Firion's dream). Hopefully you all are enjoying this fanfic so far. The more drastic writing will be around the next where Firion meets the Mafia head on.

Chaos was riding out of the city's boundary to escape from the police's sight and range. He laughed to see Firion still passed out from the pills. He looked out on the country road to see a bricked windmill with someone...or something looking at him. A female figure with a pair of lavender cat ears. He growled to see it was a Neko on the look out. Pulling the brakes, the Neko looked to see Chaos coming out.
"Now why are you here in the middle of the night?" The Neko asked to the man. "If you don't answer, then you'll meet the power of the mighty Prishe!"
"I have no time for this!"
Before he could return, Prishe threw a rock to the man's head and laughed. Chaos growled and attacked the Neko. The female dodged with her tail wrapped around her right arm. She punched Chaos to the gut before she noticed that he didn't flinch.
"What are you?"
"Nothing you need to know."
Chaos threw the Neko to the near by creates. Prishe hissed and attacked back. The man dodged all the punches before he felt his leg clawed.
"Damn you." Chaos hissed in pain. "But I will continue to fight!"
"Play fair, cheater."
Prishe did a high jump kick before she hit the truck. Pain rushed to her body and cried in pain. Chaos laughed and ran into his truck. Turning on the engine, he hit the gas and was speeding down the road. Bumps started to shake the truck, and after the tenth bump, Firion was knocked off and landed in the water. The man laughed before he saw Prishe again.
"Like I said...play fair!"
She punched the man in the jaw to knock him out. Chaos cracked his neck and got into fighting position. Both throw punches to one another and the human did a low kick. The Neko dodged and kick him from behind. Chaos roared and head-butt Prishe to the gut. She laughed and throw a punch again, but soon hears a gun shot from the male.
"Hey, that's cheating."
Chaos pointed the weapon to Prishe. "I don't play fair."
She let the man go and soon hears laugher. Firion moaned and woke up in the river with a massive headache. He looked around the area. No houses near by. All he sees is green grass and the darken sky. He felt a rain drop. A storm came blowing him and covered the road ahead of him.
"Damn..." Firion cursed. "I can't see the road. Maybe the sign will help me..."
He read the sign to see that he was really far from home. Dissidia is a five week walk from where he's at. He kneed down and cried. His life crumbling under him. He have a wonderful life with Cosmos and Rose. But now out in the middle of nowhere thanks to Chaos, he can't find a way back home.
"I guess I need to go west to the nearest town. Hopefully I can find someone that could help me."
Dragging his feet, he walked in the cold rain. He still feels tired from the pills but still fights to continue walking. His tail covering in mud thanks to the rain. Soon he saw Prishe sitting on the bridge with her tail wagging to see another Neko.
"Good to see you!" Prishe hugged Firion, who tried to defend himself. "Why are you trying to run? I'm friendly."
"Sorry...but I'm looking for the nearby village. So I'm heading west to go there."
"But...that place is ruled under a Mafia."
"A mafia?" Firion's eyebrow raised. "What mafia?"
"Oh boy you'll fit right in."
The male Neko narrowed his eyes to Prishe. She laughed and returned to her spot near the windmill. Firion sighs and continue to walk in the rain. Soon he saw a bright light in the distance. He ran to it to see a father and child Neko scared.
"Dad!" The child with only one hand scared to Firion's presents. "He might be with the Mafia!"
"Are you with them?" The older Neko saw Firion nodding no. "I see...you don't know the Harmonious Blood. New in town?"
"Yea." Firion answered. "But do you know the quickest route back to Dissidia? I live there."
"No...I afraid not. Sorry...but you can live with us so you can sleep."
"Thank you."
The three went to the rundown house near town. It wasn't glamorous, but it's a home. Firion found a bed in the guest room and laid down. The child Neko looked at the clothes to see that the traveler is from a higher social network. Much higher than the Mafia themselves? Soon he saw the golden plated license and the diamond studded collar. He poked Firion with his one hand to see a hazel eye looking at his green eyes.
"Something wrong?" Firion asked to see the child looking at his license. "Uh...child?"
"What happened to your owners?"
"My male owner dumped me here. He was furious at the will my older female master made. Giving everything to her daughter and me, so he drugged us and tossed me in the middle of nowhere. Now he's probably having a time of his life. I need to return."
"Hope you do. You seem a nice guy. Hopefully you return home. Unlike us who have no homes..."
Firion looked to see the child crying. "Did your owners...abandoned you?"
"No...this village was pillaged by barbarians. All the owners were either killed or captured as slaves. My mom and dad were one of the few alive and later had me as their son. They told me the story and I believed it."
"What happened to one of your hand?"
"The Mafia got me and cut off the hand to teach the village a lesson. I was trying to save my mom. You see...she came down with a terrible illness and I was going to use the item to sell it and get some medicine."
Firion cried warm. The child was doing a noble thing to his mother, but this Mafia caused one of his hands to be cut out of his body. He reached into his pockets to find a golden coin that could fetch a good price. He looked at the child to open the other hand and gave him the coin.
"Mister?" The child looked at the golden coin. "I can have this?"
"You bet...your story touched my heart. I hope your mother feels better. You can use it to get the medicine."
"Really?!" The child hugged Firion with tears blurring his vision. "Thank you!"
The other Neko ran out the room to let Firion sleep. Soon a dream of another Neko entered. He stepped away before seeing himself with a bat. He was scared. This Neko is him but more used to the street life rather than a life of an aristocrat. A jean like sleeveless shirt with a black headband around his forehead. His undershirt is colored black with a few blood stains. A few belts were shown around the leg pants and a handy bag strap around his right leg. Metal chains around the belt loop as his belt. The tail was still in perfect condition along with the ears. His face, however, wasn't. Scars around the neck and eyes, probably fought someone for survival. Combat boots is what threaten the other Firion in fear before the street one pulled out a knife.
"What are you?!" Firion shouted before he saw the knife thrown to his face. Before realize it, the knife cut through the skin and caused it to bleed. "Ow! Are you cold and heartless?!"
"Silence!" The Streetwise Firion spoke up. The voice caused the original to shiver. "You'll disappear soon enough! I will take over your mind and you'll listen to me!"
"Why should I listen to you?!"
The street version walked closer and took some of the blood dripping off. Firion watched to see the other drawing a symbol on the imaginary wall near them. Then he saw the symbol. The Japanese symbol of the heavens painted in blood. He sat down and think before seeing the other grabbing his ponytail. Firion scratch the other to see the Street Firion blocking the claws with his own gloved hand. They looked at each others eyes before someone behind the street one came out of nowhere.
"Who is this runt, dear?" The other asked with a hat to cover his face.
"Nothing...I'll take care of him."
Firion got up to see the two looking at him with hazel and blue eyes. Soon the taller one brought his claws out to snatch the collar and stomp on it. With a devilish laugh, the two left before Chaos was in front of Firion.
"Chaos!"
"Sorry runt." Chaos whistled to see ten Nekos around Firion. "After him!"
The ten took charge. Why is he dreaming of these people? A completely different person with someone he never knows. Then Chaos commanding an army to destroy him. But he then saw Cosmos and Rose crying. Of what, his disappearance? He turned to see the symbol behind him and the other one ready to fight.
"Care to accept me as your subconscious?" The Street Firion asked to the original.
"Not really...but please give me strength..."
With those words, he and the other tackle Chaos's army in front of them.
