Jack glanced around nervously as he held his held his book bag close to his body. The shock of what he had just done was sinking in and the urge to turn around and run back through the gates was overwhelming. He began to tremble and was ready to turn and run but something stopped him. No, we stay. Said a raspy voice from inside his mind. Jack shuddered again as he realized the Other was awake. Control of the body was given back to Jack and he winced as he walked forward slowly.
Since he wasn't allowed to leave he might as well go further than the front gate and see whats going on in the house. He walked along the stone path that lead to the path looking over the trees that loomed over his head. They blocked out the sun and kept Jack from seeing what time of day it was. He could hear strange noises from behind the trees but his curiosity was suppressed by fear. Its not that bad here. The Other said within Jack's mind. Jack nodded in response as he pressed on ward.
He stopped as he heard a rustling sound only a few feet away. He tightened his grip on his book bag and prepared to throw it. The rustling continued for a few moments but soon it stopped. Jack loosened his grip on the book bag and gulped as he walked past the bush which had just been moving wildly. He heard it rustle one more time and spun around quickly. As he spun his foot got caught on a small crack on the path and caused him to stumble to the grand. "Crap." he said as he caught himself on his hands. He winced as he brought up his hands and saw a thin trickle of blood spill down his wrist.

A woman wearing a corset, and a pair of black leather pants strode up to him, smiling pleasently, or so she hoped, her thick raven tresses were bunched up in a thick ponytail, and her eyes were quite mesmerizing with multiple shades of blue in them. "My my..a new playtoy" She cooed softly, and knelt down, the leather softly squeaking at the effort. "Are you quite alright?" She inquired, forcing herself to be nice for god's sake. She couldn't afford another disaster like the previous one where she got a little..too crazy with her fun and accidentally killed her slave ".You look..lost little man" She stated, her eyes sparkling at him. Her leather whip was coiled like a dark snake on her left hip.

Jack placed his mouth on the largest wound and attempted to stop the flow of the blood by draining it. He turned around once he heard the squeak of leather and the voice of a woman. He stared at her for a few moments before removing his hand from his mouth."Yes." He said shyly as he took in the woman's appearance. She was pretty he would admit that but there was something about her, and it wasn't the fact that she carried a whip or wore leather. It was more like she had a kind of predator-like aura around her similar to that of the "Other" and his mother.
Even though he sensed it Jack's need to latch on to someone and feel protected overrode his common sense. He nodded childishly as he looked around. "I am lost." he said quietly as he placed his hands into his lap and looked at the ground, his blue hair hanging in curtains and hiding his silver eyes.The "Other" chuckled internally as he witnessed Jack's weakness. He was curious about this woman and wondered what she would do to Jack. He hoped it was nothing to bad because he needed this body just as badly as Jack and if Jack died so did he.
'Um... How do I get out of here?" Jack asked childishly as he looked over at the woman.

She smiled cutely at him again "Once you pass through those gates, you're here forever my dear" She said softly and her mesmerizing gaze glittered like a pair of sapphires "However...if you will allow it..I can...take care of you" A breeze picked up, sending her hair fluffing softly about her shoulders "Come on..I will take you in the house." She extended a hand, the well-manicured nails sparkling in the sunlight that had peeked over the massive mansion.

Jack's stopped as he heard the woman say that he was trapped here forever...."No wonder no one ever comes out." he said sadly as he looked up at her. He met her gaze and stared for a few moments before he smiled his childlike smile and took her hand. "I'll ....allow it." He said unsure of what was the proper way to respond to something like that. Although he was seventeen Jack was emotionally closer to ten. He had all of the knowledge that one would gain because of school he was just easily manipulated and just as easily comforted. Jack glanced towards the house and then stood up and looked down again.
He wasn't sure how the "Other" would react to him relying on another but he hoped he wouldn't be to mad. When he got made people around Jack tended to get hurt. The thought of being trapped here with the other made Jack wince. He let out a soft sigh as he forced ideas of the "Other" from his mind and turned his attention back towards the woman. "My name is Jack.' He said not bothering to add his last name. If he was going to be here forever he might as well try his best to forget his mother.
The "Other" cackled within Jack's mind as he watched all of the events that happened around him. I wonder where this will lead me?

She lead him towards the mansion, and spun around, and snapped an odd bracelet on his wrist, it looked like a skinny shackle "You're now mine" She said softly, a suave look on her face "Mine to command...." Her eyes sparkled.

Jack followed behind the woman glancing around nervously. He paid no attention to the house in front of them only to the dark garden that surrounded him. If it weren't for the fact that he was with someone he would've never moved from the spot he had fell too. His mind was completely focused on what was in there but as soon as he heard the sound of air moving around quickly and the clank of metal he had turned his attention to the woman and it was already to late. "What is this?" he asked nervously as he snatched his arm away from her and grabbed the metal bracelet.
He looked at the woman and shrank back slightly as he heard her say that he was now his. His heart beat sped up as he realized that he might not have ever escaped from his own personal hell. He pulled at the bracelet for a few more moments before his hand stopped and he felt a desire to let the "Other" take over. To allow him to beat and destroy the woman infront of him but for some reason the "Other" would not speak.
"You said you'd help me!?" Jack said frantically as drew his hands towards his chest. Help....Help! He screamed within his own mind as he tried to get the "Other" to come help him.... There was no answer.

Shikuza smiled "Ohhh I can help you..." She said, pulling at the chain locked onto the slim golden shackle "But I cannot help you get out of here...because otherwise you'll die..so..I'm keeping you safe by keeping you close to me..." Her eyes glittered softly "..You're now mine to command my dear..." She said softly "But I will be nice to you...until you grow up a little...." A cold smirk crossed her features.

Jack looked at the woman for a few moments before he was pulled closer by the golden chain and shackle. He almost tripped but was able to stay upright, miraculously. He looked at the woman with teary silver eyes. "I don't want to die." he said as he rubbed his right eye. Although he was tearing up he was constantly calling out for the "Other". The "Other" had always been there for him. Even though he had questionable methods he took care of Jack. He kept him safe and destroyed anything that wanted to harm Jack. Why was it though when Jack needed him most he would just disappear?
"...I am grown up." he said half heatedly as his silver eyes meet Shizuka's icy gaze. He sniffled once more before wiping away the rest of the tears.

"If you are grown up..then stop acting like a child" Shikuza stated, "It grows wearysome..." Her gaze narrowed considerably "...But..perhaps I can strengthen you up a bit.." She ran a hand down his cheek softly, a smile upon her face.

Jack looked at the woman who reached out for his face and his mind went completely blank. An animal-like fury was released from him and the "Other" who had been gone for the past moments was now in control of the body. With grace and ferocity that Jack could never muster he slapped the woman's hand away from him. "Don't touch me." he said in a gruff voice that seemed to match the body a lot better than Jack's softer and more childish voice. "And take this god damned thing off of my wrist." He added as he yanked his right arm in the opposite direction of the woman who was holding the chain.
"Other" grinned as he looked at the woman and wondered why he had allowed Jack to follow her this far. He should have stopped him when he headed towards the gate. But maybe it was for the better. Maybe here he would be able to get rid of Jack and have full control over the body instead of having to store energy in order to wrestle control from him. But for now he would make do with having control for a few hours while Jack remained "asleep".

Shikuza smiled "I will not take it off" She stated "I have claimed a slave....and..." She smirked "You seem a bit more..agressive than the other one..." A mischevious glint appeared in her gaze as she tugged on the strong golden chain "You can only be released...If I say so...and I don't say so..because I just claimed a split-personality slave...How fun..."

"Other" skidded forward as the woman pulled on the chain. He grimaced at the thought of being her slave. "Don't associate me with that child." he said referring to the fact that she had said slave. In both of their minds they were two different people. They were completely different in almost every aspect except that while Jack had a slight fear of women because of the torment he had endured at his mother's hands "Other" had no such fear. Hell nothing in this world yet had scared him and he was sure that this world would not be able to frighten him as well.
"If you have to call me something just 'Other' will do." he said,"I honestly have no real use for a name." he said coldly as he crossed his arms. It was true he didn't have a name but deep down he wanted one. When he first gained control he had gone through hundreds of names but none of them seemed to fit properly. But as time carried he focused more on causing others pain than looking for a name.
