Hi, I'm so sorry for the late update. I've been busy on vacation on spring break. Anyway, here's chapter fourteen.
Chikane's outfit for the chapter:
Chikane wears a outfit she wore in chapter one. A light purple shirt, with the sleeves rolled up, that is tucked into a long brown skirt that goes a few inches past her knees. She wears fuchsia loafers with light lavender straps with bows of the same color attached. Her outfit is completed with a fuchsia headband.
Chapter 14: The Mastermind Black Fang Arrival Case
At the household of NORA
Both Natsuki and Yukie were making breakfast in the kitchen, the two young girls were both humming to themselves. Meanwhile, in Yataro's room, a certain small white sheep walked up to the sixteen year old boy who was changing into his clothes. As Yataro changed, Soumei tried to get his attention. But the young boy didn't notice him.
"Wool! Wool! Wool! Wool!" the small sheep baaed.
"Soumei-san?" Yataro, finally noticing him, said as he turned to the sheep, who was staring at him with teary eyes, on the floor. "What's the matter?"
Suddenly, the small sheep split apart. A black wolf, with yellow eyes, came out of the sheep.
"You want to go for a walk?" Yataro asked as he knelt down in front of the wolf.
The large black canine lolled it's tongue out as he stared at the dark blue haired boy in front of him.
"Go ahead." Yataro told him.
The wolf walked closer to the sixteen year old boy and went inside his body. There was brief blue glow around Yataro, then it disappeared. The young boy looked at his hand and grinned.
"Yata!" Natsuki called her childhood from outside the terrace, she and Yukie hanging up the laundry on the clothesline. "Could you get the humidifier?"
"Yeah, Haruka-san is starting to crack." the deep forest green haired girl giggled.
The sixteen year old boy placed a humidifier next to a dried up Haruka. He then walked outside. Yataro leaned on the doorway and stared at the girl young girls.
"Nacchan! Yukie-chan!" the dark boy haired boy exclaimed at her pulled both girl into a hug.
"No sexual harassment via Yataro's body allowed!" both Natsuki and Yukie yelled in unison, surprised from the sudden hug.
"Oh, it's fine." Yataro told them.
"Stop it!"
"Yataro loves you, too, Nacchan!"
"It's not fine!" the black haired girl shouted.
"Oh, it's you, Soumei-san." Haruka said, sitting up in his bed. "I thought it was noisy."
"I see you've come back to life, Haruka." Soumei said as he turned to the white haired weakling, both sixteen year old girls were biting his arm.
"I feel sick." the seventeen year old remarked, dark lines coming out of his head and his hands over is ears. "Soumei-san's sound is mixing in with Yata's sound, and it's really disgusting."
"Get a hold of yourself, Haruka-san!" Natsuki and Yukie exclaimed at the same time.
"I guess being brilliant comes with its hardships." Soumei commented as he sniffed both girl's hair. "You both smell so good..."
Feeling a tap on his shoulder, Soumei, in Yataro's body, turned and saw Haruka holding a round glass container of brownish liquid in his hands. The seventeen year old pushed a button and sprayed the liquid in the young boy's face. Soumei feel to the ground, holding his nose, and rolled on the floor, anime tears coming out of his eyes.
"I told you both to hold on to this since that smell fetishist hates the smell of garlic." Haruka said as he handed the container to Natsuki.
"He's totally Dracula..." Yukie commented.
The white haired boy turned to the younger boy on the floor, holding a sewn up sheep. "Hey, Perv. Stop messing around in Yata's body and get back into the sheep."
"Not okay with a sexual harassment loving boss!" Natsuki remarked, hiding behind Haruka with Yukie.
"Why are you so cold to me?!" Soumei asked, an irritation mark throbbing on his head. "This guy is obsessed with lolis, a smell fetishist and a total weirdo!"
"Don't compare him to you!" the white haired weakling, a irritation tick on his head, yelled as he threw the sheep at Yataro's face.
"Yeah, Yataro-kun is a closet perv!" Yukie exclaimed.
"Perverted kids with no self-control need to go away!" Natsuki remarked as she sprayed the young boy with more liquid garlic.
"Hey! Stop that! I'm not a bug!" Soumei yelled as he tried to cover his noise. "This body may be temporary, but I'm your boss! I'm special!"
"You mean you're a perv." Haruka commented.
Soumei, in Yataro's body, walked away from them and put on his shoes. "That's the problem with kids these days." he said. "They don't know real work."
"Where are you going?" Yukie asked.
Soumei turned to them and grinned. "The Inaba Detective Agency."
The trio just stared at him as he walked out the door. They all looked up at the clock above.
"Why's he going so early?" Natsuki asked.
"It's still only 7 AM." the other sixteen year old girl said.
"Old-timers sure have a lot of energy so early in the morning." Haruka commented.
At the Inaba Detective Agency
Hiroshi, Chikane, Kei, Yuuta, and Winslow all blinked and stared at Yataro, who was sleeping on one of the offices couches with his glasses on.
"He's sleeping with his glasses on!" the black haired assistant stated the obvious.
"I do that at times, as well." the red headed said. "Accidentally."
"Oh, really?"
The young man nodded.
"Yeah, it's kinda funny, really." Chikane commented.
Everyone returned to stare at the sleeping young boy on the couch.
"Wait! I mean, why's he sleeping here?!" Kei asked, pointing at the other sixteen year old.
"Uh, yeah, that!" the two childhood friends said in unison.
"He's trespassing." Yuuta and Winslow remarked at the same time.
"But something's different about him." the blonde assistant commented as he stared at the sleeping boy. "It's like he's someone else."
"You say that, but we have no idea what you're talking about." Hiroshi said.
"I think I know what you mean, Yuuta-kun." Chikane spoke up. "I can sense a spiritual coming from him."
"Spiritual?" the detective repeated.
"Yeah." the young woman walked over to the sleeping boy. Out of nowhere, she pulled out a thin slip of paper. "I'll give him a sutra." she placed the sutra on the dark blue haired boy's chest.
Suddenly, something shot out of him.
"Something came out?!" Kei exclaimed.
Yataro's eyes shot open as he sat up. He stood up from the couch, his guns draw, and looked around him, question marks above his head.
"I don't think he has any idea what's going on." Yuuta said.
"I'll give you some beef jerky, so put those dangerous things away." Hiroshi told the young boy, a piece of beef jerky in his hand.
"You don't need to be scared." Kei said, a cat toy in his hand.
The dark boy haired boy stared at them. A second later, Yataro was sitting on the couch as the red headed detective fed him the beef jerky.
"What's the matter?" Hiroshi asked. "Are you lost?"
"I wonder if he'll drink milk." Yuuta said, a carton of milk in his hands.
"Yuuta-kun, he isn't a cat." Chikane told the assistant as she rubbed the dark boy haired boy's head.
"I'll take that milk." Winslow said.
'It's like they picked up a stray dog...' Kei thought as he watched the scene in front of him.
"Don't you talk?" the detective asked the sixteen year old boy.
"Seems he's not allowed to speak out of turn, since he's a vessel." a familiar male voice commented.
Everyone turned to the source of the voice.
"Haruka!" Hiroshi exclaimed.
"If you're back to normal, then come home, you idiot." the white haired boy said to Yataro. "You're too quick to take food from strangers."
"Thanks for taking care of Yataro." Natsuki said, rubbing the back of her head.
"Sorry for any trouble he may have caused you." Yukie apologized.
"All because of the annoying old man." Haruka said to himself.
"Old man?" Chikane repeated.
"Where are you, Soumei-san?" the black haired girl called out.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are." the deep forest green haired girl called out as well.
"Wait, what's going on?" Kei asked, confused.
The spirit of Soumei, who was laying on the floor, got up and went back inside the body of the dark blue haired boy.
"That startled me." the young boy said. "I thought I was going to pass on to the next world."
"You totally should." Haruka remarked, covering his ears with his hands.
"So that's what he sounds like." Chikane spoke up.
"He's not very cute when he speaks." Hiroshi commented.
"The one speaking is Soumei-san." the detective's younger brother told them. "He's possessing Yataro."
"Stop referring to me like I'm some evil ghost." Soumei said.
"But you basically are." the weakling boy remarked.
"Haruka, what's going on?" Hiroshi asked.
Suddenly, Natsuki clapped two wooden blocks together.
"Long, long ago, specifically about thirty years ago, there were many Secret Dobermans in the Japanese police force." Yukie informed. "But one particular police dog surpassed the squad in investigative skill and cohesive power, and was even regarded as dangerous to the public. That charismatic leader was our boss, Soumei-san."
"Boss?" Hiroshi repeated, sitting on the other office couch with Haruka, who had his head on his older brother's shoulder.
Yuuta, who was standing with the others, had a dark and menacing aura around.
"Unlike the others, he was able to use special powers when the moon was full." Natsuki said, holding a picture of a man with the full moon above him.
"Isn't that normal?" the detective asked. "You mean not everyone can?"
"Oh, you didn't know?" Haruka asked. "Apparently, not everyone can. Only us." pink hearts came out of the seventeen year old's head.
"Oh."
Behind them, a certain blonde assistant was digging for something in a draw, the dark and menacing aura still surrounding him.
"So, on nights of the full moon, Soumei-san can leave his body in spirit form and become a free black wolf." Yukie explained. "However, he has to return to his body on another full moon night, or he can't rejoin his body and his spirit energy is slowly depleted." she smacked away Yataro's hand when Soumei tried to touch her chest.
Kei and Winslow both gasped when they saw Yuuta holding a blow dart in his hands, the weapon aimed at a certain white haired weakling.
"That's why Soumei-san's currently surviving by using other people's bodies." Natsuki told them. She quickly smacked the dark blue haired boy when he tried to touch her.
"So he's still alive in spirit form?" Chikane asked. "So all he has to do is return to his own body, right?"
Beside her, the black haired assistant and black cat tried to keep the blonde assistant from shooting the seventeen year old boy with the blow dart. Yuuta fired the blow dart and hit one of the hearts coming out of Haruka's head.
"Where's his body?" Hiroshi asked.
"That's right!" Natsuki exclaimed. "There's a reason he can't return to his own body! He's been imprisoned for a crime he did not commit!"
"A crime he didn't commit?" the red headed young man repeated.
"Yes." Yukie said. "A police inspector he didn't get along with mysteriously committed suicide on a night with a full moon."
Re-enactment
Video Purveyor: Valentino Family
Police Inspector: Lorenzo
So it was suspected that Soumei-san possessed him and made him do it.
Soumei: Gabriella
Cop: Don Valentino
"Confess, you will. You did it, didn't you?"
The ones who were enraged by this were the Secret Dobermans who looked up to him.
Special Guests Stars! Secret Dobermans: Noah, Alice, Saeko, Zero, and Dobermans (real ones)
They all decided they would leave. It couldn't be helped, considering the police cut off Soumei-san so easily despite how hard he had worked for them.
"Get'em!" the two scientist and ninja yelled in unison as the dobermans and small white puppy chased after the cop, Don, and attacked him. (In reality, they all just left the police force peacefully)
On the night with a full moon, as Soemei-san left his body, the Secret Dobermans left the police.
End of re-enactment
"And that eventually led to the formation of NORA." Yukie finished explaining, elbowing Soumei, in Yataro's body, when he tried to touch her chest again.
"Now, let's get down to business." Soumei, who was on the floor with a bloody nose, spoke up. "Hiroshi, I have a job for you as a detective." he stood up. "Look for my body that the police are holding somewhere."
"They probably got rid of it by now, don't you think?" the young man said.
"I assume that, if my body were gone, my spirit form wouldn't last this long. Though I can't be sure since I've never died. But you happen to be proof of what my body is worth. Those jerks thought they could do as they pleased with an empty shell."
While they were all talking, Kei and Winslow tried to keep Yuuta from cutting off the strands on top of Haruka's head with a pair of scissors.
"Hiroshi, you were born through artificial insemination, right?" Soumei continued.
"What of it?" the detective asked.
The seventeen year old on the young man's shoulder smirked a bit.
"No matter how you look at it, they used my DNA." Soumei told him.
Hiroshi's eyes widened.
"Hiroshi, you're my son." Soumei grinned.
The others stared at him in shock.
"That can't be..." the red headed young man said in disbelief.
"As proof of that, you can use special powers on nights with a full moon, right? You, me, and Haruka."
The young man looked at his younger brother.
"Aren't you happy, Nii-ni?" Haruka asked as he looked at his older brother. "Weren't you always curious about that?"
"What's the matter, Hiroshi?" Soumei asked, pointing at himself. "I'm your father. Your father!"
"Who are you calling my father?" Hiroshi asked.
"I told you, it's me."
"If Soumei is Hiroshi's and Haruka-kun's father..." Chikane thought aloud. "That also means he's Lupa-chan's father, too."
"That's right." Soumei said. "That cute daughter of mine can also use special powers on nights with a full moon, as well. In fact, I think her powers surpass my own."
"Do you know where she is?" the young woman asked.
"Unfortunately, I have have no idea where she could be."
"Well, congratulations, Nii-ni." Haruka said. "Your dream..."
Hiroshi's dream
"How's this, Hiroshi?" Soumei asked as he rubbed face against his son's.
"Your stubble tickles." the young man replied.
End dream
"... can come true now." the white haired boy finished.
"That was when I was a kid!" a red faced Hiroshi exclaimed.
"Really?!" Kei yelled in disbelief. "That's all you want from your father?!"
"What kid thinks about his father like that anyway?!" Chikane asked.
"So, I'm counting on you to find my body." Soumei said.
"As if I'd accept a job from you!" the detective shouted, pointing at the dark blue haired boy. "Of course, I'm arresting you!"
Soumei sighed. "Apparently, you're in your rebellious stage... Well whatever." he grinned. "Come at me. I'll show you why they called me the Black Fang."
Hiroshi's eyes widened. "The Black Fang." then, he deadpanned. "Sounds like a plain ol' cavity to me."
"Brush you teeth, Pops." Haruka, also deadpanning, remarked.
"You could probably use some mouth wash, too." Chikane commented, deadpanning as well.
"Show your charismatic father some respect, you idiot sons!" Soumei yelled at the two brother. "Same goes for you, beautiful future daughter-in-law!" he yelled at the young woman.
"Who the hell are you calling your future daughter-in-law?!" Chikane asked.
"You don't have a choice in this!" Soumei exclaimed as he pulled out a gun.
"Right." Yuuta said as he poked his boss in the back.
Hiroshi placed a strand of blond hair in his mouth. "Cuticle Blot!"
"I should have seen that coming!" Soumei screamed as the attack hit him.
"Yata!" Natsuki wailed as she held a crispy Yataro in her arms.
"I'm sure you were old thirty years ago." the red headed werewolf commented, his arms crossed over his chest. "You've got some energy for an old man."
"You're so cool, Nii-Ni." Haruka said as he stared at his older brother with sparkly eyes.
"No kidding. You look as cool as I do when you transform."
Everyone turned to look at a grinning Kei.
"Kei!"
"It's your papa!" the assistant said.
"What's going on, Haruka?" the detective asked his younger brother.
"Hm? I told you that Yataro was just a vessel." the weakling boy replied.
"I can't talk without borrowing someone else's body." Soumei explained. "However, to avoid any more confusion from my comrades, I usually only borrow Yataro." he was handed a gun by a recovered dark blue haired boy. "If there are humans who allow me in like Yataro, I can recover some of my energy while inside them. Plus, I won't die if the body I'm in is harmed."
"Wh-What?" Hiroshi questioned.
"I'm saying that this is possible, too." Soumei grinned as he placed the gun to the assistant's head.
"Don't!"
"S-Soumei-san, please, don't hurt Kei-kun!" Yukie exclaimed.
"Is it because he's the famous boyfriend that I've heard about?"
The young girl blushed heavily. "T-That's not it. H-He's just a friend."
Soumei turned his attention back to his son. "Well, hurry up and find my body already. I'll be borrowing this body until the-" he stopped when he saw the red headed werewolf holding a stuffed white Persian cat with a pink ribbon tied around it's neck. Soumei sweatdropped. "What do you think you're doing, pe-" he suddenly froze. "Pe? Pe... Pe, pe, pe, pe, pe, pe...
"Persian!" Kei cried happily as he leaped at the stuffed cat and hugged it.
"Welcome back, Kei." Hiroshi greeted the assistant.
"Good to have you back, Kei-kun." Chikane said.
'Huh? What?!' the spirit of Soumei thought in shock.
"I was finally able to find one with fur worthy of my hair fetish." the red headed detective told the sixteen year old boy. "I was going to give it to you as a bonus."
"Isn't it cute?" the black haired woman asked.
"Look. The fur is just like a real one!" Yuuta informed.
"Oh, it's so light and fluffy, almost as if it were silk!" Kei commented as he rubbed his face against the stuffed cat's. "Yukie-chan, do you want to hold it?"
"Can I?" the sixteen year girl asked.
'What kind of mental power does that kid have to be able to kick me out?' Soumei thought. 'I underestimated him. Then...' he lunged at the blonde assistant. 'I'll just have to take this assistant hostage!' he thought as he went into Yuuta's body.
Everyone just stood and stared at the young cross-dresser. Then, Yuuta chewed on something that was in his mouth. Suddenly, he spit out Soumei.
'I was kicked out again?!' the wolf spirit thought in disbelief. His eyes landed on a certain black haired woman. 'Looks like I will have to take the woman hostage now!'
"No! Don't!" Hiroshi shouted when he saw Soumei lunge at his childhood friend.
"That old man must have a second death wish." Haruka commented.
Just as the spirit reached her, Chikane quickly pulled out her black club.
"Jintsu Kon Whack!" the young woman shouted as she smacked Soumei hard with her weapon.
'How could I forget that she has spiritual powers?!' Soumei asked himself mentally as he felt the woman's spiritual power damage him.
"That's what he get for messing with Onee-san." Haruka said.
"Well, Chikane does come from a long line of spiritualists." Hiroshi informed.
'His energy depleted to the size of a chihuahua.' Kei, sweatdropping, thought as he saw the wolf spirit the size of a small dog.
The weak Soumei walked over to Yataro, who picked him up and allowed him to possess his body. He looked at the others.
"So that's the deal." he said. "I'm counting on you!" suddenly, he and the rest of the terrorist group were out the office and running away. "See ya!"
"Hey! Don't run away!" Hiroshi yelled out as he chased after them.
Chikane sighed. "I think better go with him, to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble." she started to run after her childhood friend, her black cat quickly following her.
"Do you think your brother will find the body for us?" Yukie asked Haruka, who was being carried on Natsuki's back.
"He probably will." the white haired boy said. "I'm sure he's curious."
Natsuki smiled. "I'd like to free Yataro as soon as possible."
"Don't be fooled, Nacchan!" Soumei told her. "He's a wolf, too!"
"Shut up." Haruka said. "Brush your teeth, Black Fang."
"I'll be mad if you give Yataro cavities!" Natsuki informed.
"And I'm telling you it's not a cavity!" Soumei yelled. "Think of it as a banana in the refriger-"
"Wait!" Hiroshi shouted.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Soumei said as he looked over his shoulder. "Hiroshi! Chikane-chan!" he called out to the childhood friends.
"Eh?"
"My first grandchild should be a girl!"
"Eh?!" both Hiroshi and Chikane's faces turned dark red.
"You pervert spirit!" the young woman shouted. "I'm gonna send you to hell!"
"Oh, Chikane-chan sure is scary." Soumei commented as he ran faster.
"That's onee-san for you." Haruka said.
"Come back here!"
And so, the two childhood friends continued to chase after the terrorist group.
And there is chapter fourteen. Hope you enjoyed it. Again, I'm sorry for the late update. Until next chapter.
