A/N: Alright, here we go. This is my new fan fiction, a squeal to 'Two-Sides' but this one takes a darker turn then the last one. I am thinking about making these fictions a quartet. Book one is 'Two Sides,' to now be called 'Two Suulen'. Book two is called ''Errdegahr Lar' or 'Demon Call'. Book number three is called 'L' depth d'lil unknown' or 'the depth of the unknown' and book number four will be called 'L' ending d'lil world', or 'The ending in the world.' I hope you can look forward to it, all of it. This part of my four part fan fiction will be longer then my last, with a lot of strangeness in so. I am changing the character as much as they will allow… Couplings are Pirika/Ren, Anna/Yoh, and Horohoro/Tammy. Well, here we go…

Chapter one: An Interesting problem

"So Ren, is this the place?"

Pirika was blindfolded, and Ren was leading her carefully to a nice little spot on top of a hill, were a picnic was set up. He didn't really answer her question just yet, but chuckled slightly to himself, causing the Ainu to be even more confused then she already was. When they reached the top of the hill, Ren removed her blindfold and Pirika squealed in happiness.

"Oh my god Ren, this is great. Did you cook all these dishes yourself?"

He nodded, still smiling, and sat down at the blanket. There were at least five different dishes, including a pasta dish, a soup dish, sandwiches, and other things. Pirika was very surprised, she had no idea that Ren could cook at all. Of course, he always surprised her. He handed her a dishful of food and she happily accepted it and they ate together on the hill.

---

"My god Ren, that was really good."

"I'm glad you liked it."

Pirika lay back on the grass, a smile on her face, and she stared at the fluffy clouds moving by in the sky. "You are a really good cook."

He shrugged, and also looked up at the sky. He didn't know what to think about his own cooking, in fact, he didn't really like eating his own cooked food. Ren actually though his cooking sucked, but hearing Pirika's thoughts made him feel a little better about cooking. She just shrugged a little and smiled at him.

"So, how did you learn to cook?"

"My sister," he said, looking down.

"At least you know how to cook," Pirika said, "I don't know how to cook at all."

He laughed. "I could teach you."

She nodded. "Really?"

"Of course I could."

Pirika hugged him and thanked him, and he just shook his head. "That is really nice of you Ren."

He stood up, and looked at his watch. "We should be heading back now. Don't want to get you brother worried about us."

Pirika nodded and took his hand. "Sometimes I hate my brother."

He nodded in agreement. "Sometime I do to."

She playfully hit him, and laughed. "I already know that. You made a point of that already."

He laughed himself and together they began to make their way back to the En Inn, However, just before they turned onto the road that lead to the inn a man grabbed Ren. He was in his fifties, and he had a brown beard that was a little straggly. He had only one eyes also, the left eye was gone.

"Errdegahr Dalhar, dos orn doera nindel vel'bolen dos treemma p'los l' ending d'lil week. Dos orn tlu duul'sso!" 1

Ren froze and went pale, and Pirika had to make the man let go himself. "Leave him alone, who ever you are."

The man ran off, after saying what he said, but Ren hadn't seemed to of recover yet. She shook his shoulders and he blinked and looked at her. "What was that?"

"Just some madman speaking in some unknown language, there is no need to worry though. He was just an idiot."

Ren nodded, and they made their way to the En Inn. As they walked in though, he muttered something, "Usstan ssinssrin tlu duul'sso..."2

Pirika stared at him. "What was that?"

"Nothing. Come on, let's go in."

---

Ren woke up in the morning and walked into the bathroom. As he brushed his teeth, he started groggily at the mirror. That was when he realized something was wrong. His toothbrush keep on catching on two of his teeth and when he checked he saw that his canine teeth were a little longer then they were suppose to be.

"Hm... what's this?"

He rubbed his finger against the tooth but the point of the tooth cut into his finger. He was surprised, was his tooth really that sharp? He deiced to forget about it for now, and he finished brushing his teeth and then put on some better clothes before he made his way down stairs.

He met Horohoro on the stairs, which smirked and said, "You better hurry up, before I eat everything."

Ren pushed him out of the way and ran the rest of the way down the stairs. Horo followed quickly behind, though he tried all the time to get ahead of Ren and push him out of the way. Eventfully they sat down at the table, around the same time. Most of the rest of the house had already been seated, except for Pirika. Ren guessed that she must want to get a few extra winks of sleep.

Eventually Pirika entered the room, looking groggy in her pink dress. Ren smiled at her and she did manage to smile back before she sat down, and are her breakfast.

"So how are you today," Anna asked Ren, and he just shrugged.

"Oh, I'm fine I guess."

"That's good. You seem a little pale to me though."

He looked at her for a moment before he looked at his hand. "Oh do I? That's odd."

Pirika said something, but they could barely understand her because she still had food in her mouth. Ren laughed at her, glad that the attention was drawn away from him even if it was only for a moment. When he finished his breakfast, he told them that he was going out for his morning run and he left.

---

Ren usually ran outside in the early morning everyday because it was part of his training program and it gave him a little alone time. He really relished those times that he had to just run and think. Most of the time he was running he was thinking about problems he was facing in the day, or about problems in the relationship he had with Pirika. Thankfully, they has gotten through there arguments they always seemed to have. (Most of them were silly anyway, and didn't really matter at the moment.)

When he ran today though, his thoughts were mostly about that man he met that day before, and the strange language he had spoke. He wondered who he was, and why the words he had spoken had sounded familiar. He must have heard it before, maybe when he was a child since he didn't remember it clearly.

He paused for a moment and sat down on a bench, when he felt a horrible pain in his head, and he doubled over in pain. The whole world was spinning and that wasn't the worse of it. He heard voices all around him, so many voices speaking in that strange language. Some spoke harshly, others were softer but he screamed out for them to stop.

The pain and voices disappeared just as quickly as they appeared. He rested back against the bench, coughing and gasping for breath. He looked at his hands, and he saw blood on his finger nails. He was surprised by that, and he did find when he rubbed his hand against his head a few wounds. But that wasn't the only thing that he found.

"What are these strange bumps?"

He ran to find a mirror and to his horror he saw that those bumps looked way more like small horns. His mind began to race with so many excuses to explain exactly what was going on, but his mind only came back to the strange man who had spoke in that strange language. Maybe he had cast some kind of spell on him, some kind of transformation spell? He couldn't be sure, but one thing was for sure. He could not let the others find out.

He deiced to pick himself up a nice hat, and then he finished his run. When he returned home, Pirika was waiting for him holding a nice tall glass of ice water. He took it, thanking her, and drunk the whole thing down. She laughed at him, and then looked at him closely.

"Why did you get a hat? It's kind of ugly."

Ren shrugged and made his way out of the door way. The hat her had picked up was a simple hat that was bright yellow with tomato red streaks on it. He didn't really care how it looked, just as long as he hid what was going on with him. He made his way to the couch and sat down.

"It may be ugly but hey, ol zhah alur t'yin nindel uss hat dos inbal."3

He covered his mouth, and cursed under his breath. There it was again, that strange language again and this time he had spoke it. Pirika walked over to him. "Are you alright?"

He shook his head, "I don't think so. What is going on?"

She shook her head. "I don't know."

Anna walked into the room and spoke softly, "You two better come in here and see something."

They followed the girl into the other room and she pointed out the window. When they looked out, they saw something that surprised then. Tokyo loomed out before them, but something wasn't right. That was when they saw that some of the buildings were sinking into the ground, breaking apart as they fell into some kind of deep hole. Ren turned back to Anna.

"When did you notice this?"

Anna looked out herself before she answered. "I didn't realize what was happening until the radio started going out. When I looked out the window, this is what I saw."

Pirika shivered. "What is happening?"

The cold girl shook her head. "I don't know."

End of chapter one…

A/N: So what did you think of chapter one? I am actually pretty happy with this; I liked the way it turned out. The fan fiction will get stranger and stranger, as Ren's interesting transformation gets worse and he can't hid it anymore, and the land of Japan gets pushed into darkness. Also, I must warn you, you may get confuse later on, but please bear with me. It will all become clear soon. Chapter two will be posted soon… Till next time.

1 "Demon Child, you will become that which you fear before the ending of the week. You will be free!"

2 "I want to be free…"

3 "It may be ugly but hey, it is better then that one hat you have."
