Chapter 4 what are we
Leon finally broke out of his trance as he looked Akeno in the face.
"Akeno..." Leon said as he then placed his hand on her face. Akeno glanced at his hand on her face as she then removed it and looked at his hand in curiosity.
"Akeno...?" She said until she looked at him "That's the name of the statue figure I took this form from".
"This form? Wait! Are you telling me that...your...".
The Akeno look alike tilted her head at him "I see...I guess this is what humans call, The expression of surprise?" She said as she then transformed her appearance into his. Leon just was impressed, Here he saw this thing as a pile of flesh and in a handmade body. But now he saw it taking shape into other people, Fictional or not.
"I was able to practice with my abilities while you were gone" she said in a curious tone "I saw the statues that were above your bed and decided to take form of the female one. I honestly don't know why, I guess...I prefer a female form to tell us apart".
Leon was confused.
"Tell us apart?" Leon asked. The look a like nodded, "Yes" she said "What you have within the body I made you is another of my kind. One that isn't...what do you humans call it? Friendly?". Leon was now interested.
"Another of your kind? Hold on, You mean there's more of you than the one I just ran from?" He asked her.
The figure looked at Leon with more curiosity.
"You ran into one of my kind?".
"More so he ran, Or honestly. Followed me. He said that I failed, And that I was controlling this thing, And that he had to eliminate me".
The look alike then transform it's body into Akeno again. "Interesting" she said "I wonder why-".
"Idiots...both of you...".
The two looked around the room to find the source of the other voice, That's when the voice spoke again. "How worthless, You, A human. Even with your new body you can't even use your enhanced hearing to find out my voice. And you...one of my own kind. I find it completely insulting".
The Akeno look a like looked around the room "Huh? What's insult?" She said in a confused tone. Then without warning, Leon's left hand raised up as it formed two eyes on the middle and index finger, And a mouth in the palm.
"I'm awake now" it said "And I was able to work with human speech during my slumber. But as I just said, You. Human, Are worthless" the thing then turned to the Akeno look a like "And as for you. A member of my own kind no less. Can't even pinpoint my location. How shameful" it said.
Leon looked at the thing.
"Hey now, That's kind of harsh. Don't you think?". The thing just looked at him with an emotionless glare. "I am not capable of human emotions. Nor do I have a need for them, I suggest you do the same. If you are one of my kind" it said to the Akeno look alike.
The Akeno look a like just kept her confused expression at the thing.
"Huh? Why? I'm curious" she said with a large smile. The thing had an emotionless stare at her.
"And that will lead you to your death" it said "My kind that I have seen so far have no human emotions. And apparently don't need or require them, Hmmmm...If only I took the brain. Then we wouldn't be having this worthless conversation". Leon and the Akeno look alike looked at each other then at the thing.
"Why? What would happen if you take the brain?" the Akeno look alike asked. The thing looked at her "If I was successful in taking the brain. Then I would have full control of the human body, But that is no longer possible since my kind stopped me from doing so". The thing then had a narrow glare at her.
"Tell me, Why did you stop me from taking the brain? Why did you protect our host?".
The Akeno look alike then looked away. "I...I don't know" she said. The thing just kept his narrow glare at her, Unconvinced at her answer.
"You're lying! I know you had a reason to protect him! Why did you protect the host!?".
"I honesty don't know! I'm serious!".
That's when the thing transformed the hand into a clawed hand, Aimed right at his own kind. The Akeno backed up a bit. Leon broke his silence.
"Hey! Don't hurt her. If she doesn't know, She doesn't know" he said. The thing then aimed the claw at it's host. "Shut up! This is our conversation! A human shouldn't interfere!" It said. Leon gritted his teeth.
"Look! I don't know what's going on. But I want to help. But we have to work together to understand each other, Got it!?". The room was silent for a bit until the thing spoke.
"I don't have to "Work together" " it said "I am only out for my own survival". Leon sighed at the thing "Well, I can always cut you out and you can go about your way" he said.
The thing looked all over the room.
"Can't do that" it said "If you were to cut me off. I would shrivel up and die. But I'm connected to this whole body since it was made by one of my own, So If you tried to get rid of me in any way. I'd simply kill you. Then all three of us will die".
Leon then glanced at the Akeno look alike "But how can she die? She's-".
"She made this body, And in turn, Is connected to you! So that means we all die if your heart or head get destroyed. Understand?". The Akeno look alike then pouted at it "You're so mean! We're supposed to be working together".
The thing looked at her with a narrow expression. "I don't have to be nice or anything of the sort. Like I just said, I only care about my survival. Not you, Not this host, Just me".
"You really are mean..., Come on. You two are practically like brother and sister" Leon said getting the females attention.
"What's that?" the Akeno look alike asked him. Leon then sat on his bed and began to explain. "Well, A brother and sister are pretty much siblings. Two people that are born from the same parent. They are also known as blood siblings as well, So my guess, Is that when-".
"Enough!" The thing said "I truly do not care where we came from or if we're blood related or not. Nor where I was born, I only care about my well being and that's that. You should do the same as me, Maybe you'll last longer".
The female frowned as she looked at her host for support.
"Leon..." She said.
Leon then got up from his bed and placed his arms around her, Comforting her. The Akeno look alike smiled as she did the same to her host. The thing still had it's narrow glare as it moved it's face on Leon's shoulder.
"Pathetic..." It said "Simply pathetic".
"Oh shut up will you!" Leon said "If you don't like it, Then look away". The thing looked at him as it then formed a whip with a razor edged blade at the end. "Watch your tone, Human. Or else I'll kill all three of us right here without a second thought" it threatened.
The Akeno look alike was actually showing fear, But Leon wasn't afraid. Leon then pulled the things eyes up to his "Look you! You're not going to be ordering anyone in this apartment. You got that!? So drop your weapon, Take a deep breath, And shut up! Alright!?". The thing just looked at him with interest in it's eyes.
"Interesting, You're not afraid of me" it said "I see, You may not be afraid of me. But you did show fear from one of my kind".
"That was before I knew I had these superpowers".
"What's a superpower?" The Akeno look alike asked, Leon released his hold on the things eyes as he looked at her. "Well, There are many types of superpowers. There's Inhuman nature, Object based powers, And lastly. Mutation. But there are many others" Leon said. The Akeno look alike was getting interested, As well as the thing.
"I see" the thing said "I'll have to look up where my kind stand in this category". That's when Leon had something on his mind.
"Oh yeah, Do the both of you have a name?" He said. Both of his guest looked at each other then at him.
"No" they said in unison, Leon then pondered a bit "I see, Well. How about I give you both names, Sound good?". The Akeno look alike smiled at the Idea.
"Really?" She said still smiling, Leon nodded at her "Of course, I can't just call the both of you thing or it now can I" he said as he then pondered "Hmmm, How about...Aihato Yosuru for you. And for our annoying asshole, He'll be Shisei. Sound good?".
Aihato nodded at her new name, While Shisei just looked at him.
"I like my new name, Leon" Aihato said.
"I have no need for names" Shisei said "But you can call me whatever you please. It matters not to me".
Leon smiled "Well, Looks like we need to get to know each other" he said. Shisei then moved his eyes in front of Leon's. "We don't have time for that. We need to figure out what category we-".
Just then there was a knock at the door.
"Hello? Package for Leon Ketsui".
Leon got up from his bed as he ran to the door and opened it. He saw a man holding a package in his arms.
"Hey, Got this package for you. Said it was from the movie studio" the mailman said. Leon got the package into his arms, "Thanks, I've been waiting for this" Leon said. The mailman nodded as he walked away as Leon closed the door with his foot, He walked into his room and placed the package on his bed.
Aihato was curious.
"What's that?" She asked. Leon opened it up and smirked.
"This Aihato. Is a gift from my father. Well, Kinda. I'm sorta borrowing it for the weekend. This is the Superior Spider-Man outfit for a movie next year. My dad is a costume designer, And he made this himself" Leon said.
Shisei examined the outfit all over until he looked at his host. "What are the blue dots on the bottom and fingers? As well as the white dots under the wrists?" He asked.
"Those blue dots are an experimental sticky tack like substance that allows the actor or stunt double to stick to any surface. And the white dots are the web shooters that allow for shooting out any kind of substance. Now if you'll excuse me I have to put this on".
Leon then walked into the bathroom to try on the Superior Spider-Man outfit. Aihato pondered at why he left as she got up and followed him to the bathroom.
"Leon? Are you okay?" Aihato asked as she opened the door to see Leon naked. Leon panicked.
"Gah! A-Aihato! I'm naked!" He said. Aihato tilted her head at him "Huh? I don't see what the problem is with that" she said "You're still you".
"That's not the point! The point is that when a person is changing. They need privacy".
"I still don't understand" Aihato said with a large smile on her face, Leon sighed.
"This is going to be a long day...".
-elsewhere-
Four kids were running down the alleyway as they were playing. "Ha ha! You can't catch me!" One of the boys said.
"We'll see about that!" The other kids said. The boy in front of them kept running until he tripped and fell to the ground. "Ouch! Man that hurt, What did I-" the boy was silent as he saw a pile of dead destroyed bodies and blood covered all over the walls and ground.
"Ahh ahhh!".
"Well now...you found something that you shouldn't have".
The child turned around to see a woman who had a bloody blade like arm on her right, And a crazed smile on her face. Her hair was in a braid and she had a madding look in her eyes.
"Oh well, I'm sure we'll have some fun with you".
"W-what do you mean 'we'?" The boy asked. The woman's blade arm then transformed into a huge gaping mouth with huge sharp razor blade teeth. The woman licked her lips as she was starting to drool a bit.
"I wonder how long you'll last when I play with you..." She said as she aimed her right arm at the child as it went at him like a snake as it's mouth devoured him in one bite and chewed him to pieces.
This...was the start of what would be known as the mincemeat murders.
