Her doctor in America had asked her to be on complete rest for about three weeks. Not to say anything bad about Savanna but, she's a handful when she wants to play so bad. I had to handcuff her wrist to the bleachers. An if she has to do anything Riko or myself must escort her.

Her eyebrow would constantly twitch and she was really bored.

'Nothing that could strain her heart, anything could trigger a heart attack again.' Said her doctor.

Seijuro was also told something about her but Seijuro hadn't said anything about it.

Right now she was watching us scrimmage. Occasionally trying to stand but was yanked down by Riko.

"Alright." Said Riko who left Savanna's side for only a second to come over and tell us what needed improvement. I had paid attention to her only to look up and see Savanna gone.

"Savanna!" Called out Hyuga.

Everyone panicked and tried to look for her. I felt my eyebrow twitch also but I had a distinctive feeling of where she ran off to. 

-Savanna POV-

I jogged to Rakuzan, I needed to know what the doctor had told Seijuro. I needed to know. As I run into the gym all the eyes averted to me. Then Seijuro whose eye narrowed in anger and then he yanked my shoulder back to drag me outside.

"Seijuro. Seijuro? Stop!" I yank my shoulder from his hand.

"Savanna-kun?" He asks.

"What did she tell you Seijuro? What is making you so worried about me all of a sudden. I've been patient for almost two weeks now. Tell me whats going on!" I holler.

He's eyes widened and then he sighed looking away from me. "I can't tell you." He said softly.

"Can't or won't?" I ask tightening my fists.

"I can't tell you, but Zone, I can tell Zone. Once she's out I'll tell." He said.

My eyes quivered. I held my hand over my racing heart. "I can't."

"More the better reason for you to stay calm until then. Besides you have a match with Taylor Wilcut coming up, best stay rested." He said walking back into the gym.

I held my forearms and stood there. Closing my eyes and calling out to her. "Zone?"

"Zone are you there?" I mutter.

"Yes, idiot. I'm you, of course I'm here."

"What is going on? Please Zone I need to know."

She remained silent. "I'll tell you when you battle Taylor. You'll need me there. Be patient for a while longer."

"I'm scared I'm not the player I need to be, or I was. Is that anything to do with it?"

"Just wait."

"About time you showed up. Ready Tex-A-Whore?" Asked Taylor who held a ball on her hip. Her eyes widened when I slip my wet zip up hoodie of, my hair was longer than she remembered. An I was more chested then last time as well.

"How?" She muttered.

I Didn't bother putting my hair, I left it free flowing and loose. I pop my shoulders knowing I was going to be rusty since it's been three weeks since I last touched a basketball.

"Ready." I say checking the ball to her.

"One-on-One, first to 10 wins." I explain.

"Alright, the match is set then." She jumps and scores a three. Or she thinks she does. My finger touched the ball, throwing it off by a lot. It hitting the backboard and bouncing back to me. I feeling her trying to reach for the ball. Posting up I back her up and pivot around her and drive to the three to ready my play.

She then stands before me, a glare and growl on her face.

I dribble between the legs to the left, then the right. Behind the back then a simple crossover, in for a lay up. Her butt on the floor. I did Seijuro's ankle break.

1-0

"Your ball, normally we do make it take it." I say handing her the ball.

"No, make it take it then bitch." She snapped. The generations watching me attentively and trying not to punch the blonde in front of me.

I didn't like her attitude really, she almost reminded me of, "Nash." I say.

"What?" She snaps.

I felt my heartache and I blink seeing the image of Sydney before me. Her name was Sydney Wilcut Nash.

"Sydney."

She widened her eyes and looked at me shocked. "Yeah so!" She snapped.

"I thought you were dead."

"I was, that weak excuse of a player I was is dead. An big brother has a new and improved sister Taylor Wilcut Nash."

Once she said that I felt something spark in me. I clench my fists and then felt fire dance over my skin.

"How dare you!" I shout, no I didn't shout. It was, "Zonecchi!" Called out Ryota.

I felt fire dance from my left eye. Taylor's eyes widened even more as she then drove by her without any problem.

"You call yourself a player! Picking on the weak!" Zone shouted.

Zone had then dunked the ball. Rattling the hoop and backboard. Once the ball touched the floor so did Zone, who then glared at Taylor. "You don't get it do you Wilcut? I'm not the Savanna you know. She's here," She paused and held a hand over her heart. "The moment she dropped you on your ass she said she was stronger in a different way. In her heart."

Taylor then tried stealing the ball but to no effect.

2-0

Zone was in the mood to bring an enemy down. Savanna knew it. Everyone in the gym did. Zone was twitching but only in her muscles which constantly moved with her. Taylor wasn't standing any chance. She was already out of breath but the intensity in her eyes told a different story.

As Zone dribbled calmly on the three point line she watched Taylor struggle. Taylor was quivering.

"Are you done calling yourself weak? Sydney? You know Savanna wanted to Save you right. She had a gut feeling they were going to hurt you. An yet you try to hurt her." Said Zone as Taylor tried to sit up taller.

"Shut Up! At least I wasn't an embarrassment to my team. At first you couldn't even make a single lay up and now you think you're better than me." Taylor yelled back.

"She never said she was, I took matters into my hands, you see. She wasn't going to take your battle seriously now. Didn't you want a official match?"

Taylor then stole the ball and shot a three. This time it went in.

2-2

"Let's end this." She then said gripping the ball and readying another play. Zone however could see the play before she could. She knew what would Sydney would do.

As Taylor drove in for a lay up, Zone pushed the ball out from her hands and then readied her own play. She prefered to finish her but she knew Savanna wouldn't want her to crush the very little soul she had left.

Savanna's and Zone's heart had hammered, in sync and almost in perfect rhythm but something wasn't entirely there. It was what the doctor had said back in America. That every time Zone had escaped her shell the possibility of them joining together was a sure thing, however the dominance of one or the other was most likely Zone. Meaning the real Savanna would never return.

Her heart was growing into two souls.

Zone was dribbling and something had peaked her interest. In a swift movement she had passed Taylor and scored a lay-up.

3-2

Taylor was shaking and her knees gave out. Zone then stepped to her holding the ball on her hip.

"Get up."

Taylor did nothing.

"I told you get up Wilcut!"

"Like you care, you are barely trying! An your beating me!I'm a failure to my team!"

'This sounds familiar.' Thought Savanna.

"Once you're unstoppable your unstoppable, I give up!"

"Zone!" Said Daiki.

'Daiki? That's why it's so familiar, he had this happen in middle school. It feels like a wave of pressure crushing me. No it's crushing Zone. She's trying the same thing as Daiki had happen to him.'

Zone dropped the ball, and gripped her shirt. Lifting her off the ground. Taylor was frightened yet held her wrist. "If you think I'm going to let you sit there and rot into a wasteful pit you're mistaken Wilcut. 'I won't leave a shattered soul in any gym I leave,' Isn't that what Sydney had said. She's in there Wilcut dig for her."

Taylor's eyes had widened and then stared into Zone's red one and her multi colored one. "Savanna?"

Seijuro had touched Zone's shoulder and she set Taylor down. "We'll postpone it to a late date then."

"Zone!" Called out Taiga, she turned and faced him. A smile on her face. "Thank you for taking care of her Taiga. I have a deal for you. I'm going to stay as Zone for now. In the morning whether your girl is in this head is up to her. If I stay and Savanna goes, promise me that you'll fall in love again."

"Oi! What are you saying Zone?" Asked Daiki.

"This is the mental battle of one soul and two minds." Zone had then walked out of the gym with me.
