Name: Kataheki Zestu

Status: College Freshman

Story: Zetsu grew up in a home devoid of warmth. The house was large and spacious, beautiful by most standards, but a lonely place for a boy to live. Ever since he was old enough to operate a microwave, neither of his parents seemed troubled by the idea of leaving their son alone. So the poor boy spent countless hours wandering an empty house, muttering to himself, and eventually, developing another voice inside his head, someone to mutter back.

Perhaps it was because he created this voice intentionally, but it was nothing more then his deepest subconscious. He knew how to hide it for the short time that his parents came home, and would only speak to it at night once he was old enough to go to school. The voice was his one true companion, and only once ever gave him strange advice.

One day, when the boy was walking home from school, the voice whispered to turn right. Zetsu, being young and innocent saw to reason not to do so, and turned a corner he had never before ventured. There he saw a large structure of glass, where inside bloomed every plant he could ever imagine, Running up and pressing his nose to the glass he gaped at the tropical plants that thrived in that house, particularly fascinated by the swaying Venus Flytrap.

The greenhouse soon became his favorite place. He would spend hours after school watching the plants and talking to the voice. Some days he would even begin to draw, little child drawings where he had a Venus flytrap for a head. He would grin upon seeing these pictures, and watch the plant some more.

But one day when he came to the green house, he saw the lights off, and the house empty. The company that used this place was moving away, and Zetsu mourned for the loss of his green friends. Saddened by this loss, he retreated farther into himself, talking only to himself. His silence gave him unexpected advantages. He gained the ability to listed. As he could listen to himself, he could understand the deeper meaning in what others said better then they could. His talent gave him the ability to hurt people if he wanted to, spread their whispered secrets, and make them understand his loneliness.

But with this ability, blossomed his ability to draw. The sketches of his youth never stopped, but he soon expanded his subjects, until his sketch books contained sprawling images of forests and plants. His ability was quickly noted by his parents, and they were quick to dump him in Oshima, where he could live, and never bother them again.

Upon starting there, he met his first friends, the people that would eventually form Tayuya's akatsuki. Upon meeting people that could accept him even with his "condition" and strange ways, Zetsu was overjoyed, and began to loose control. As the years went by, his dark side developed a nastier mouth, and his white side retreated into a shell. In the second half of his Senior year, Zetsu was removed by the school from his parents, who were sick and tired of his getting into trouble. He was shipped into therapy, where he regained control of his inner deamon, and the two sides began to blend a bit. The blackness calmed down, while the white became tainted and cold.

So he stands now, a cold individual with an intelectual, and a mind for listening to others. His black side can still be coaxed out into the open, often when Zetsu becomes angry, or meets someone very like his black self coughHidenTayuyacough
