Shiki: New Life Chapter 10.5

Sunako sat on a velvet chair, the chair was torn at points and had drink stains from the many years it was used, but a chair was still a chair and Sunako was just happy to be sitting on it. Sunako heard the cabin door open up, the cold night air whooshed into the room and Sunako was greeted with her faithful Jinrou, Riko and Gina who had a smile on their faces, smiles that made Sunako quite curious. "Gina? Riko? Whats with the smiling?" Sunako asked, sipping blood from her wine glass, it reminded her of the good days with Seishirou and Chizuru before Seishirou was burned and Chizuru was staked. "The little Sherlock Holmes who is trying to discover the new Shiki group will be visiting us Sunako, the kid Mitsuo Nataga and a boy named Yutaka Chi." Sunako's black eyes went wide, Sunako never thought the boy would consider joining them in their fight against the Enoshiki family. "Why, that is surprising." Sunako heard a voice behind her to see it was Seishin who just walked in, ever since those fifty years ago, Seishin never left Sunako's side no matter what.

"Is everyone heading to bed, Riko?" Sunako asked the orchid haired Jinrou woman, Riko winked and smiled. "I gave the job to Ryuu, he should be back by now." Riko said looking at the clock, Sunako did too to see it was 4:35 AM, the sun would come up in about a few more hours. Sunako was more of a older sister-like figure and cared so much for her Shiki, too scared of what would happen to them if they were staked or burned. The door opened up and everyone gazed to see Ryuu arrive with a peculiar young lady behind him that Sunako never seen before. "Ryuu? Who is this?" Sunako asked, thr girl was pale skinned with long, whitish blue hair tied in a loose ponytail, having two sky blue bands at the end.

She had light, baby blue eyes that nearly looked white, but she wasn't blind. She wore a beautiful, gothic lolita dress that looked as if it suited the winter and fall seasons as it was October. "Sunako, this young woman demanded your presence." Ryuu said as he allowed the mysterious young girl to walk towards Sunako. Sunako could see that this gothic lolita fashioned girl was fifteen from the look of her face and how her body shape looked, the girl was also around four foot six. "Who are you?" Sunako asked as she got up out of her chair and walked towards the lolita girl.

"I am a traveler, a mysterious traveler known as Kurayami. I was here to address your current situation, Sunako Kirishiki." Sunako's hollow eyes widened, how did Kurayami know her name? Sunako looked at the other Jinrou in the room to see even Ryuu was surprised, not even with his big mouth he didn't tell Kurayami anything about her last name. "How... Did you know my name?" Sunako asked with Kurayami giving a mysterious gaze towards Sunako. "I know about you, I am older than you I presume?" Kurayami asked Sunako which Sunako looked at the mysterious lolita. "I may look thirteen, but I really am one- hundred fifty. I am a Shiki." Sunako said to Kurayami who smirked.

"I may look like a fifteen year old girl, but I am a Jinrou of two hundred years old." Sunako gasped, Kurayami clearly surpassed Sunako in age, and possibly, knowledge. "I know about the Enoshiki, you, and other Shiki groups. I been here longer than many and I wander forever, seeking someone I can call a family. I lost one so many years ago and still want one, I know thats the reason you gather Shiki is to make up a family." Kurayami said and looked down at Sunako. "I ran away from my hometown after my parents and siblings died and I abandoned my name and replaced it with the name I now hold dear." Kurayami said and Sunako decided to talk into much deeper and further manners. "Why did you come here, Kurayami? Are you a spy from the Enoshiki family or are you on our side?" Kurayami turned her back and started to walk out the door before stopping and looking back at Sunako and her friends. "I am on neither side, Sunako. But I will tell you I don't approve of the Enoshiki's plans. So consider me an ally until further notice." Sunako and company watched as Kurayami closed the door once she was outside.

Kurayami was now joining the fight.
