The new lord of darkness takes the throne. Shinta Urashura

Shinta's story starts Back 15273 thousand years ago. He was born under the Creator of darkness. His name was actually Shinta stienguard. His father was Valador Stienguard and his Mother was called Valeria stiengaurd. he heard of his fathers achievements.

Of course back 15 thousand years ago there were no villages just a few clans. The Orions were Infamous for creating darkness .
Which is not a good thing One would expect and at the time it was a great new power.

Only his father achieved the Darkforce the strongest dark entity ever made And when he did so it was said he split a dimension in two.

-----

Shinta lived on with the Orion clan. eternal Life was rather nice. When he was only 17 He stopped aging. On his 20th birth day he was excepted into the Orion generals as number two. His father being number one at the time and linkie being number three(used to be number 2.).
Linkie was his uncle though he always acted more like a child.


Shinta had astounding skills that feared even his father the creator of darkness and sometimes even drove him further into developing the progression of new dark skills.

But Shinta really didn't care much about the generals Or even about his father's paranoia that Shinta was perhaps scheming something. Which of course he wasn't .He just came as that sort of person because of his cynical sarcastic nature.

When he was 35 (though he still looked 17) He found a life partner and even got married to him
His name was Gavin. He wasn't a fighter In fact he was just a store owner in the clan.

They lived together for who knows how long.


Shinta lived throughout the Orion war of the angels. And even killed the Creator of light with his own hands.
Many generals died at that point and were replaced. It seemed they were unstoppable. Him and linkie even managed to bring down Thornilius said to be the best warrior of that time frame. Linkie His uncle absorbed Thornilius.

Darkness seemed to become there main weapon. Too all people who feared the Orion CLan at the This was the main skill that they always fretted about. Of course the fact that they created it provoked several clans to attack them and start a great world wide war of all clans.
However darkness wasn't there trump card nor was it linked with there kekei genkais at all.

Shinta had to learn the hard way That The kekei genkai of the Orion the minds void is something one should never Use too often.
Though it seems to be almost the perfect weapon ..breaking down your enemey in an almost helpless way in a world that you alone control.
The cost was Very heavy If your mind wasn't Mature or "Strong" enough and you go over your limit of power or gain too much emotion and memories you will fall under what is called the "Minds curse."

When this happens you cannot differentiate friend or foe. For your mind is broken And you will just attack erratically without any discretion .
Shinta had to kill his best friend who came under the curse. This would be the first time Shinta ever had to make a very difficult decision . Even though it was more then ten thousand years Ago. He never really formed a friendly bond with anyone he fought along side. For his best friend was the first of many he had to exterminate Due to there mind breaking.

His Father Was too busy With darkness to help find way's of ailing the mind and even put more strain on the void by creating Zues.

Zues is an entity that lives in the Minds void and collects any darkness any Orion comes across storing it in there mind. As It may be obvious this strained them much faster and the number of Broken minds began to grow.
Shinta fought with the generals lived with his husband and buried many people for his long long life.


Everything seemed to go right till the day's of the organized shinobi villages. The Abyss seemed to put them selves right near there clan. even though they could Defeat this nation and stop the shinobi world at this time.. Valador the Creator of darkness always showed the utmost respect for the abyss people that Shinta thought were beneath them.

Shinta thought that the way things were ought to stay that way. The growing countries caused many more wars then there had been and many clans were taken into shinobi villages and harvested for just war purposes.
Soon the world became less about clans and More about territory as the countries began to grow and grow.

One day the Abyss found out about the unstable mind's of the Orion only 17 years ago and told them to get it under control or they'll have to get rid of the Orion.
Shinta said they should stand up for themselves like all the times before. The Orion were dangerous But they had kept themselves contained.

Valador eventually told the kage of the abyss that he world of shinobi and make his own world He even wanted the kage of the abyss Village to declare that the Orion had all been wiped out.

Shinta attacked his Father and began an all out battle against him. He knew they could take the Abyss and he wasn't about to let them scare them into a hole. However no orion helped shinta even though they agreed. This would make his anger and hate toward them grow.

Shinta would end up gaining the upper hand against his father. But when it came to it.. He couldn't Bring himself to finish his father off. He let him live...Even after his long life his good emotions out weighed the bad and his conscious got in the way.

His father would get up and summon "The dark force" for one powerful last attack when shinta turned his back to walk away. But Shinta's long time husband stepped in the way even though he wasn't a fighter. His body would cover the blast enough to let shinta get hit fall to the point of no getting up.

With the last bit of Valadors chakra He sealed Shinta in a section of there new realm . Which he entitled the realm of darkness. Shinta would be sealed for the next 17 years

However right before Shinta was sealed before now he split off half of his abilities , Smarts, Power, skill, speed, Emotions. However remembering his weakness of letting his father live he only split the negative emotions.
These things would make up A baby that was found in the empty Clan village By a Abyss Shinobi.

He was later named Vash Stienguard by the Kage and given to a local family. This was all a scheme of Shinta's.

He Knew one day this half of himself with only negative emotions would grow up realize his talent and genius and eventually find Valador.
Shinta's Plans for this Baby were to grow up and seek out his heritage. Eventually the minds void would link Vash with his CLan somehow and he would find his father. And If everything went as Shinta planed Valador would be killed and he would be released.


The Next chapters were for this Make up of Shinta ..Vash To live out his life in a world of Shinobi the people that caused him to be sealed away.

-----------------------------
~ The Beginning Of a life as a Shinobi For Vash Stienguard
--------------------------------------
Vash Would grow up and be put into the Abyss ninja academy. He even as a small child, Knew that he Was different from the other Shinobi in his classes. He excelled at everything.
Jutsu Close combat ninjutsu. He was labeled a genius and they nearly hundreds of times asked him to advance in the levels of the academy But he always refused. He had no Good emotions but one thing he did understand was the terrible way it felt when people looked on a pon him as a freak. . He could easily have graduated at age 6 It was as though it came naturally to him
He formed many bonds Of hatred With people that had to work hard to get half as far as him when vash seemed to never even train.

All Vash would do to spend his time as a youngster was read He would leave his Home and go read for day's on end . he had a facination with knowing everything in the world and he had to cram it all into his mind. ANd it all seem to fit He forgot nothing at all that was put into it.
His strong mind was his greatest friend and his worst enemy it seemed at the time.
He began to seek solitude in his Later Acadamy years. Instead of thriving to be like the other kids he now just read and looked up to his three Idols.
Kham (Mahk-x now), Zero Venkage(ZK now), And Ace Uchiha.(Ziek hellgate)

He graduated a little early even through his protests not to be treated special and was sent out into the world as a new commer Gennin.
However when ever he fought with other Gennin and Chunin it was Rare that he would even get hit.
His first match out of the Gennin gate was one of his classmates . In a spar He and karigan winchester fought. This was his first sign of his greater development over the other genin.

He then joined Abari's The Jonins team(Akurai now) Unsure what Vash's element was Abari began teaching Vash all different elements . Vash preformed them with over average success But for some reason his heart Yearned for something more. These skills and elements didn't call to him he found none of them challenging enough to gain none of them packing the elegance And strength that his Idols had. Vash knew he was destined for more then this and sought out help He Mailed a letter to Kham the earths advocate. Hoping for an unlikely training session.

Kham one of the two abyss village Sannin at the time took a liking to Vash and was the first to discover the darkness that lingered around Vash. But when they used an ancient cursed seal to unlock The Dark chakra withen him he had no knowledge of This Partially cracked the void.
half of Shinta's Old skills

This was the first time Vash discovered he could go inside of his own mind using it as his greatest weapon. Kham was Trapt and fought with the creature in Vash's mind that collects dark chakra from all living things and converts it into Orion dark chakra.This creatures name was Zues and it lived connected between the mind of All the Orion.
vash didn't know at all what any of this meant or even that the orion were still alive he was just toled they were all wiped out and nothing more about his abilities.

Vash in the end regained himself and sent them out before Zues could do any serious damage.
This would spark Both vash's terrible Urge To delve farther into both darkness and this new found skill Aswell as Drive Kham to look deeper into Guiding Vash.

From that point on Vash became Overly consumed with himself. Spending Whole weeks and months at a time developing new Jutsu for himself and sparking new ways to use this mind power. He completly Ignored his teams and dropped going on missions almost all together.
He wasn't sure why but he felt he was destined to wield this darkness that now was in every fiber of his being .

Though Vash was never really a warm person this transition ate away even more at his personality Soon His mind would begint o alter the small amount of emotions he had and he would do only things that Seemed logical.

Logic became his best friend entirely there was nothing in the world more pure then DOing what would end up Logically turning out good for himself.

There was still much to do after he passed the chunnin exam with the utmost ease.
He knew he wanted to be great like his Idols the abyss village Kage Zeik and the Sannin Zero and Kham. So He did what he thought was the right thing to do and he Left to explore the world and train without the bothersome Abyss shinobis around to bother him . until his return two years later (when we jumped sites)

~~~~The battle against death and the end of the Abyss Village.~~~~

When Vash returned from his two Seclusion Not much changed about the abyss or about the way he acted. He was much stronger now he could control darkness already better then any shinobi on record in the abyss. And his mind was becoming an easier and easier thing to understand and wield.
This made him a deadly Shinobi. The first thing he did when he got back was request a gunea Pig. This would spark Aeon a village Jonin to show up. vash would end up topping the match and sparking a rivalry and an odd friendship with Aeon who would always see Vash as Someone to overcome.
Vash However didn't understand well what friendship was He couldn't grasp what the Logic of such things were .


Vash Made the third Abyss Sannin ANd joined the Ranks of his idols Kham and Zero.

He spent most of these days back doing hard a and s rank missions and training Gennin for the time.
He had become so bored and confused from seeing all the bonds around and never having the emotion residing in him to create his own that he eventually stoped all together caring what happened to anybody. So when death attacked the village and the four horse men came and he was summoned to the dimension death awaited...He did not go at first. He instead sat and read knowing what was going on.

But in the end he Went and Helped in turning around the fight. He would never forget the day he was branded his alias from death. Along with Aeon, kham, (ace) zeik, zero

His name given was the king of darkness. Though he took on this alias from there on he never really took it seriously until a bit later in his life. it was sort of like a trophy. Vash was beginning to wonder weather or not he was really even meant to exsist. But the fact that Death saw him and acknowledged him along with his Idols Made him believe that he even though different meant to belong.

They all ended up besting death and coming out of it okay Vash had even gained his most commonly used and best weapon he simply labeled death scythe. This of course because he with the help of the others He stole it from death assuming he wouldn't be as strong without it.
Surprisingly when left he was left with the weapon and he used it very often it seemed to just come naturally how to weild such a grand weapon.


It was a time to celebrate. only shortly however .
When there are good times and pice there are many people who begin to rethink how goos things really were.

Kham realized something death said to him when the battle was going on Vash was unsure what it was..Kham however decided to act on what he thought the message he got from death meant.

Kham had to take down the abyss village That is what he though had to be done. Kham Would try to over throw the Kage Ace.

Kham and Zero (zk) Joined together with some allies to take down the village much to Ace (zeiks) discomfort.

Vash didn't know where he stood in all this at first and really didn't want to have to pick sides especially now that he was starting to feel the Orions curse on himself. His mind was becoming unstable. And he wasn't sure what was going to happen to himself. He had read and heard that that when the orion clan "died" It was because the abyss needed to take them out because there minds made them go mad.
HE recalled the time He accidentally trapped Kham in the Minds Void for a short amount of time.

He didn't want to go mad.

Vash eventually Went with khams side and the three sannin were united as one against the abyss He took out a great amount of the other side before He eventually found Aeon and Xane fighting.
Aeon was on his own side and xane was with the abyss. Vash's mind however completely snapped now and would finally succumb to the fate of all orion and destroy what ever he could it didn't look good for Aeon or Xane as there seemed to be nothing that could be done.

Luckily for Aeon and Xane, Zero(zk) Arrived to fight Vash off. which nearly ended in Zeros death Vash Invoked the minds void and then even started the Infamous And feared King of darkness attack. When they got sucked down into the Void water and Vash was going to finish Off one of his Idols however his mind cracked further and instead they were both hit by the attack And Vash before they both came to a sudden death canceled the minds void making them appear in the real world where Zero would colasp K.O ed
That attack wasn't made to be used under a mind that is unstable .
vash's mind would so completely shatter that he was even unable to move for awhile.

However it also was because he went all the way that he was able to come back. If he hadn't completely shattered his mind he would not have been able to regain it. Luckily this didn't take too long.

The abyss eventually fell and The Abyss was no more. Zero and Kham would then erect the village hidden in the nightmare

and Zeik would go on to form The Azure Village.

-----------------------------------------
The starting of the Nightmare
-----------------------------------------

It would now be the days of good fortune with the Nightmare . Vash had made a team and had many strong people in and out of it.
he would go on many ninja mission and make quite a luege of Protege that would take on a bit of Vash's more odd teaching and lessons.

He now spend not only A lot of time developing his dark arts further but also writing books about his life and other things. He made a couple darkness basic books. some random things on dimensional travel .These were his stepping stones to writing nearly 10 thousand books over this portion of his life stocking his Public library section his house with them.
The library in the nightmare darkness manor became quite the hot spot for anyone wanting to learn what no one else could teach.
And a few books a bout His kekei genkai and his long since dead clan.

However peaceful days only would mean one thing. Something troublesome happened as it did always seem to follow Where ever zero and Kham were.

It was a full on war against nobodies. The living organisms that weren't truly meant to exist at all. They where just shells of a person when they where made into a heartless. These empty Shells longed for a heart they could call there own.
These Nobodies just wanted to exist. Vash Instantly for reasons he did not know.. Become entranced in there goal. He felt as though he were similar. He spent long nights and day's just sitting up thinking about weather or not he was suppose to exist in the world.


They were stong . Vash spent most of his time Saving hot spots of the Village by taking out hordes and hordes of Nobody.
Vash helped out in numerous fights with the nobody elites the strongest of the nobodies.
Until he had finally caught wind of one nobody that was better then the rest of even the elite nobodies. He heard that zero, Kham, Aeon and even Zeik the old Kage of the abyss was there. many others were there also . He Didn't know If Ziek was around cause the Azure Village fell or not But it definitely peaked curiosity

Vash helped in the fight best he could to destroy this menace named xemnas. But he was to much for them all out in that world there was no way they could win so even though Xemnas fought it Vash Stoped fighting and stayed stationary. He eventually was able to transport all the warriors into his mind. It had been sometime since he used this technique out of fear that he would go insane again.

Vash used his seemingly limitless amount of Chakra gathered by Zues in his mind to replenish his comrades chakra as they all continued to fight. Vash fought with Zeus who was now more Vash's partner then a beast to be reckon with like he so thought when he was a Gennin.

In the end. with the Help of every one involved Vash was able to snag Xemnas in an attack he hadn't used since he lost his mind and nearly absorbed Zero.

The k.o.d Completely eradicated Xemnas off the face of the village and Vash took on a few of his traits. Such an overwhelming presence absorbed into his own state of mind meant he took on strong new Abilities. But also a greater burden on the Minds Void.

---

------------------------------------------
~~~~~~~~~En pending Betrayal ~~~~~
-------------------------
Xemnas now seemed but a distant memory away and Vash now had to deal with a new threat to the village which was the kage himself. Zk ..Zero an old friend Actually became the nightmares biggest enemy at this time in history.

Vash helped out in very small way's this time around he Was still dealing with the instability of the minds void and was nearly useless in large scale battle situations.

He was unclear on what was going on receiving spotty direction and little information. But Just as with Xemnas this terrible uprising marked a ton of new villains. Vash had nothing to do But help as many of his fellow nightmare ninjas with there battles against these new foes as the big battle between the kage's raged and Kham punched the moon that was the cause of Zks anguish and the bringer of this new Dragonic evil back into place and with a lot of effort they prevailed.


-------------------------------------------

Vash spent these days now withering away In his home . Many days passed by when he wondered and even hoped for a new evil to come and to have a chance at taking it down. Vash craved to be strong more then anything and before he left this world he aimed for it.
This need to be strong Came from vash's ever growing Need to stand out . Of course his goal has always been to surpass his idols. But ever since the day he Vowed to do so as a gennin His Need to stand out grew exponentially.
This Came from his need to Show the world that he existed because if other people acknowledge him as special now that meant he existed. He clung to Bonds like the ones he had with Aeon and Shiro .. Shinobi that fought him but never won and came back for more.

Bonds like these kept Him feeling as though people thought of him and made him exsist.


But instead Of surpassing his idols completely and never looking back..he was stuck training the villagers. Helping them rank up for what seemed like months on end.
Is this what a Sannin was suppose to do play babysitter for the lowers? He pondered things like this everyday as the weight of something began to grow on him.

He had a talk with Aeon once on his roof where he told him That he felt as though time was catching up with him as though death was there soon and he didn't know why.

He took his worries of death and weakness to the only person Vash truly trusted Which was the first person to acknoledge Vash as special. This person as Kham.
Kham revealed to Vash that it was no ominous thing that he had been feeling this weight and that his destiny was to become the lord of darkness and take the throne from the shadow king, the creator off all darkness.

Vash and Kham traveled to the dimension in which Tauntarus the great realm of darkness on the edge of the world guarded by a Kraken was kept.

When they arrived and beat the Kraken and found the realm.. Vash became in a duel alone with the shadow king and queen Because valador enhanced the Dark energy of this place to make Kham severally weakened. though in there fight it was found that The shadow King and queen were in fact his mother and father and Vash's father plagued Vash's mind with terrible feelings to get him to come there.

Vash defeated them both and took the throne after the hardest battle of his life. His father revealed to him that Vash's orion Clan was in fact not dead but before the Abyss village killed them all off for there terrible illness The creator of darkness ("Vash's" father valador ) Struck a deal with him to end the war and he will retreat to the realm of darkness and pretend to be dead.

It was never told why valador pretended That Vash was his true son was Vash when he was a break off of Shinta and not truly Valadors son. However Vash didn't know this and didn't question it. In his head all logic said that he took out his long lost uncle.

Vash received the ultimate version of the Orion chakra. Along with the eternal darkness attribute to be able to absorb all lower forms of darkness.
He gained "The dark force" As well but he didn't know how to even call it up let alone use it. It was out of the grasp of even his great mind power.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
However Vash's doubts did not disappear. Even after battling the feared World eater known as Grim and taking his abilities to the minds void after a hard battle.

Vash knew he was strong now .. But still he had a goal to be stronger then his mentors.
The only threat now was that chase young might attack and he never seemed to do it .
Chase young being an antagonist That had showed himself to be strong and then retreated away for a long time not coming out.

Buteventually he did show himself . On the day of Zeiks wedding Fate intervened. Vash went with the crowed to the bachelor party and left feeling fun to not be the best thing he was suited for. Since he did that he locked himself in his mind and meditated. It was then he singled out the voice he had been forgetting to listen to now that he absorbed so many minds. ... his own which simply spoke.."never be second."

When Vash returned to the real world He realized the nightmare he warped to was on the moon. Chase young destroyed the moon and made a mockery of the Sannin and ZK. Because of a simple bachelor party Vash missed the chance to save the planet and instead it was blown up cause no one was able to stop chase and Terra.

Vash couldn't believe the weakness of the people he strove to surpass. Ziek.. ZK.. how could they after idolizing them as a boy he couldn't believe they let this happen. And with that sparked something in him.. Never be second... he No longer felt he was second.. and he was going to forget about training the villagers they were already to far gone... Vash's cause could only continue as long as he switched sides. and that is exactly what he did . Vash went right to the Liar of young and Became part of the problem for the nightmare .. He was now no longer a nightmare Sannin but a enemy of them.

The defeat and the start of the Chaos

Vash Was With Chase now thou they hardly saw eachother. Was this really the right thing to do he was unsure but he Continued on anyways. The Logical way to stay true to his path was to Do this. He had to appose thou He had once sworn fellowship to aid in battle.

It was almost eerie how easily he became an Antagonist and how good he was at it. He prevented the Nightmare from gathering there strength By causing chaos. He blew up a inventors Lab and then beat the hell out of a Injured Zeik.

He even Used his death note book to Make a Shinobi walk to Shiro's House while he had a bunch of people around and stab himself furiously. And then right an eerie message on the wall .

as well as turning Orochi who would end up dying because of it.

Vash would then Provoke them further as Khams team was gathered he arrived to scare off two of them and beat Atra to a pulp. Leaving him Alive.
Later on he confronted Kham The one person in the world he most admired and the one person he most wanted to take down. But because of Shiro and Kay's Interruption the battle did not happen. Instead Vash made Kayno lose her mind to a dark being and switch sides . Kay fought Kham as Vash defeated Shiro. Kham was forced to take Shiro to safety.

However now the nightmare did come up with a plan as they Formed together and stormed the Lair of young. Zk stayed behind to gather his energy and switch back the time line of the planet and make it come back . Vash was ready for there attack and when they arrived he tossed people into three portals .

Kham and Atra and fenri took out Terra and chase thou it is rumored Chase got away.

Shiro dealt with Kay and he wasn't to sure on who exactly helped take down orochi But he heard that kai was there.
he however Made Aeon Ziek and Lucius Come with Him. Ziek and Lucius fused But Vash out played them and Separated there minds. The battle seemed to be going one way after that as well In Vash's favor.. Aeon however almost got a data drain On vash as he was stationary trying to switch to the world of his mind. Vash Battled them hard there and he even Achieved the state to absorb them But at the last second he halted his own attack .

He felt his father telling him not to do it That he was wrong about this being the way to achieve his goals. SO He Stopped the attack that would kill his companions and let them back out into the real world as Zeik attacked with a devastating blow.

Vash Got Up and left thou . First thing he did was zoom to Shiro and Kay fighting . Akurai was there too. He Phased everyone Into his mind except for himself and let them save kay's mind from Oran. The beast he unlocked in her mind.
He then went to help Zk gather chakra To help the world Come back.

Thou no one Really bitched him out for Switching sides afterwards the World was changing after this point. He left with Ziek to the CHaos Village that Ziek and Kurai Just began on there own with a bunch of followers on there side. But that was only the start of there problems...

A whole new world is forming .


With the Start of the Chaos He had only since He left heared Rumors of the nightmares Coll asp Due to the Kage's Not seeing Eye to Eye. He didn't really care all that much. He was back to regular Du tee's It seemed and Only Shiro ever came to Bitch him out for betraying the nightmare month's ago. Even enough to punch him

Vash however didn't strike back or even gesture to Care. he knew he deserved the Punch he did turn Shiro's girlfriend into a bad guy and then he almost Killed Shiro right afterwards.

The world was growing Bigger now with the news that the Nightmare Fell Kham went to another Village ..Zk he had heard rumors was turned into a duck. There were more villages in the world then ever before. It would soon become a country of Villages and He was a bit weary as to How it would turn out .

He didn't care However and nore did He ever get the chance to do so as he received word now that there was a Shaman Named hao looking to make his own kingdom and He wasn't friendly.

Eventually Hao took Down Ziek and Then harbored His spirit to work with him. As shamans Have the ability to Use spirits as Guardians.
With that another new enemy Arose. His own people . and it was caused by himself.

When he left The Realm of darkness after killing and absorbing his father . It unlocked the Seal on someone who had been sealed for 16 years. SHinta Urashura. Who quickly became the number one general of the Orion. All the Orion are now planning on invading the world and taking it back as they were taken to the realm of darkness 16 years ago By Vash's father On a kages request..

However they were after some stones to help them take the world back from the Shinobi. They were all scattered in the chaos. Shinta revealed he had 12 other generals all very strong and the orion people were now 10,000 in numbers.

He then persuaded vash into Giving him an Aura stone as a peace treaty until they dealt with hao. he did so And then Shinta sent his Number 2 general to trick kai into giving him a stone.

...................................................................................................
Eventually Shinta had 7 Stones and while he was spying On vash. Vash ran into Ziek. Or rather the spirit Form. While they talked the Spirit Ziek revealed he Had some stones that Shinta was after . As thou he was an antagonist he didn't co operate with the other antagonists.

Vash Let Ziek Go at first not being able to Fight him cause of issues he had for betraying him before. However Shinta provoked Ziek on that mountain a bit after.

Shinta asked for the stones and Ziek attacked him. Shinta did not attack back just defended in a mysterious way that no one saw. He Snagged a stone off of Zeik But only One and Ziek said he and Hao had more.

....................
Ziek Would then attack Akurai killing him. At least it looked as thou he killed him. But Inside of Akurai a giant Hollow emerged the size of a small mountain It seemed. vash not wanting Akurai to Die. Stepped back and began to try and bring them to his mind. But it took awhile cause vash was feeling unstable from all that was happening.

Lucius emerged to help but for how long he would last might not have been enough. Shinta however Joined the fray and began to make mince meat of the Hollow with Lucius. Vash transported them to his mind after a bit and helped Akurai take his mind back.

Vash revealed to Lucius that Ziek was dead and Him and Shinta took off. Shinta helped out even thou he was there future threat when hao was gone.. he wondered why but mostly he was just debating what exactly in the world makes him a human being.

Shinta Gave vash a book and then dissipated. Vash would decode it in quite for a whole year. A quiet year he never knew what happend to Hao Or to the ziek spirit but they never came back.

Neither did Shinta for a year.
Vash eventually Decoded the Book and it revealed that he was once apart of shinta along long time ago. (see first post) Vash didn't see this though and figured it was another riddle. he became obsessed with what this riddle meant for the whole year untill lucius came by one day and reveled how long he had been alone locked away in his house for.

(((To be continued Im getting exhausted)
