"...Peace in death is what we all stride to have when our days on this Earth end. For me, I guess the way I just did this is ok. I mean, sure, I wish I could of had a boyfriend or gone to senior prom. Heck, I wish I could of gone to college and get married. But, oh well, I guess I can't change what has happened now, considering that I'm probably dead. But, again, I have to wonder, if I'm dead, then 1, is Toshiro dead? 2, Did anyone find us? and 3, If I'm, luckily, not dead, then what the heck is going on outside, where, at the moment, I'm unconscious...?"

Toshiro's Perspective
Slowly, the light begins to come back into his eyes, seeming to awake after being stabbed. As his eyes begin to clear, he looks around to see what has happened. He can't hear any sword-fighting nearby, meaning that someone is either dead, or somehow, Devena got away. He turns and gasps as he sees Shecker lying right beside him, new cuts and scraps dug into her skin.
"Shecker!" Toshiro says as he sits up and pulls her over to be laying on her back.
He shakes her, getting no response, only little grunts in pain, the only thing that she did that alerted that said she is alive. He notices that she's hold her side, the same place that he had seen her be stabbed earlier. He grits his teeth in guilt, and holds her head up his left arm, causing her to slightly wince in pain.
"Sorry Shecker, if I hadn't just attack out of emotion, maybe you wouldn't of lost-" Toshiro starts to apologize.
"...She didn't lose." a familiar voice says from behind him.
Toshiro turns to see Yattamori standing behind him, no longer underneath Devena's influence.
"Yattamori, h-how are you-?" Toshiro asks.
"When Shecker defeated Devena, she was able to separate me from her before Devena disappeared..." Yattamori explains.
Toshiro looks away, then grins after a moment.
"I'm glad you're alright, but, if not healed soon, Shecker's going to-" he says as he begins to pick up Shecker.
"Wow, wow, calm down. She'll be fine, I mean, she was the one who healed you." Yattamori says as she stops him from picking Shecker up.
Toshiro's expression becomes that of shock.
"She did what?"
"You haven't noticed yet? The fact that you're no longer bleeding?" Yattamori asks, surprised herself.
Toshiro feels around the scratch to feel absolutely no pain lining the red mark. He looks down at the panting Shecker and smiles.
"It seems that I underestimated you, Shecker. You must have a lot of power just like your counterpart." Toshiro says, "Thank you."
"She used Bankai."
"What?!"
"It was her only choice, if she hadn't, she would of been killed."
"She had enough power to even evoke Bankai?"
"That's right."
Toshiro looks away.
"She really is you. Just in different skin."
Yattamori grins.
"Oh, Toshiro, you are such an idiot. She isn't me."
Toshiro looks surprised by Yattamori's comment, and looks up at her.
"I died 14 years ago, I no longer exist. Shecker just uses my name so that you and others won't treat her differently then you used to treat me." Yattamori explains, "She isn't Madison Yattamori, she's Madison Shecker."
Suddenly, something that Madison had said before being spilt in two comes back to the front of his mind.
"...I'm not that happy go lucky girl who you joked around with when you were a kid. I'm Madison Shecker. A 14 year old who just wants to draw and hang out with friends and be a normal teenager! Yattamori died, I might look like her and have her memories, but I'm not her!..."
He looks down at Shecker, and notices something glinting under her jacket. He moves it back slightly to find the black cross pendant that looks exactly like his squad's symbol resting peacefully on her scarlet stained shirt. The symbol though itself wasn't what surprised him, it's the clear film of bluish ice covering it, shining in the coming and going sunlight as the clouds passed over.
"But there is one thing that has never changed..." Yattamori says as kneels at Toshiro's side.
"What's that?" Toshiro asks.
Yattamori smiles.
"The fact that you are my best friend, meaning that I'll do everything I can to keep you safe..." Yattamori answers, "...I proved it 14 years ago, and today, Shecker has done the same exact thing."
"Yatta-" Toshiro starts.
"Enough with this talk, we need to heal her before she looses any more blood." Yattamori interupts as she puts her hand over Shecker's wound.
Slowly. A yelllowish glow appears from her hand, the skin beginning to reappear over the stab wound. She looks up at Toshiro.
"Well, c'mon, help me."
Toshiro looks surprised by her comment.
"How can I help?"
"This type of healing is very painful on the person," Yattamori explains, before jesturing her head towads Shecker, "Look."
He looks down as Yattamori instructs to see Shecker wincing and her closed eyes twiching in pain, small grunts escaping her mouth each time skin tugs as it heals itself. Suddenly, she gasps, a slight scream escaping from her lips. Without thinking, he pulls her closer, holding her beneath his chin.
"Shecker, calm down. Yattamori is healing you." Toshiro says.
He looks up at Yattamori to see her face taken on the look of surprise.
"What?"
"How did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Right now, she should be at least struggling in your arms from the pain, but..." Yattamori starts.
Toshiro looks back down to see Shecker lying still in his arms, no longer wincing or grunting whatsoever. The pained look on her face has vanished, her expression now that of a calm slumber, as if she had just fallen asleep in her bed.
"She's totally calm."
Yattamori grins and chuckles.
"It seems that there's more to you then I ever thought Toshiro. The ability to calm her when she should be in the greatest of pain."
Toshiro grins.
"It's not really an ability. Ever since we were younger, you've done this."
Yattamori looks surprised.
"Seriously?"
"Yepp."
"Hmm. Who knew."
"Now it's my turn, what happens now that Devena is defeated, and you're free?"
Yattamori sits there and thinks for a moment.
"Before I say this, you must understand what exactly the Bijuu were trying to do. You see, the reason they wanted to separate us was because they thought that when they did, you would side with the one that resembled the orginal Yattamori the most, being myself. The other, they thought, you wouldn't trust as well and would initually believe that she housed Devena from the beginning. But, that's what they got wrong. Instead, you took to both of us, and never thought either of us could house her." Yattamori explains, "But, they had a plan B just in case that didn't happen. When Shecker had shot her arrow towards me and ended up going towards you, that was actually not planned, just bad position at the wrong time. Though, they used it against her. A bijuu with the ability to control someone movements made her look like Devena was trying to take control of her body, when actually, she didn't house her at all, I did. Then, when you both were far away from me, Devena took the oportunity to come to the surface and make a surprise attack, which in the end Shecker ended up shielding you from. The rest you already know."
Toshiro looks down at Shecker.
"So, they did it all, just to make me think that Shecker was the enemy when she wasn't. I feel like such an idiot."
"In short, they wanted you to kill off both of us by killing the pure Madison. That was their intention since they separated us. Though in the end, their plan failed, and Shecker saved us both."
Toshiro smiles.
"You still haven't answered the initail question." Toshiro says, "What happens to you two now?"
Yattamori sighs.
"All done." Yattamori says as the glow disappears from her hands.
"Yattamori, answer me."
Suddenly, she begins to glow a light lime green.
"Wha-What the-?" Toshiro starts.
"Because Devena and I shared my body, I was pretty much destroyed. But my memories, will becomes those of Shecker's, and she will take my place as Yattamori. I, in essense, will just become a name of a girl that passed long ago, disappearing in all."
Slowly, she begins to become seee through.
"Yattamori, no..."
"Don't worry Toshiro, I'm not really going anywhere. I'll still be right here, I'll just be Shecker, not Yattamori." Yattamori reassures him as she fades.
Toshiro smiles.
"I've always missed you, Yattamori." Toshiro comments.
"See you soon, Toshiro..."
Suddenly, Yattamori's body diminishes into lime green mist, hanging there far a moment in the air. Then, instantly, the mist surronds Shecker, seeping into her body. Her body glows, wind surronding them as she still glows. Toshiro covers his eyes and waits until the breeze fades, slowly opening his eyes. He looks down and gasps. Shecker no longer looks like Shecker. Her appearance has changed back to that of Yattamori's, everything about her exactly the same. The only difference from before is that she still wears the cross necklace around her neck, the only clue that shows she's the same person from before. Toshiro grins.
"Welcome back, Madison, welcome back..."
