Chapter Fourteen
Izumi's New Problem
After getting back from the Familiar forest, Kenichi walks up to Sona's and knocks on the door.
She opens the door, and she is wearing her pajamas.
"Yes, Kenichi?"
"Look. I have a new familiar."
He reaches down and picks up his new familiar.
"His new name is Blackie."
She shifts her glasses slightly as she inspects Cath Palug.
"That is great, Kenichi. Congratulations on getting your familiar. My sister must have really pulled some strings for you."
"So, this is Serafall's sister. It is a pleasure to meet you. I had the pleasure of meeting Sona quite a number of years ago." Blackie says to her.
Tsubaki shows up in the hallway after hearing them.
"That should be interesting to hear about. But first, a bath."
"Huh?" Questions Kenichi.
"If he is going to stay in here with you, then he needs to get a bath."
"I beg your pardon, but I keep myself pretty clean. Thank you very much." Retorts Blackie.
Sona shifts her glasses.
"You came from the familiar forest, correct?"
Kenichi and Blackie both nod.
"Then you get a bath."
"Do you realize who I am?"
"That does not matter, Blackie."
After saying that, Sona points towards the direction of the bathroom. Blackie looks up at Kenichi.
"No." He simply tells Kenichi.
"Yes. You just have to deal with it." Kenichi replies.
"You will not like the consequences if you try to do this." Blackie tells him with a little bit of angst.
Kenichi starts heading off to the bathroom.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
5 minutes later.
Kenichi slowly walks up to Sona's door again. This time, it is open. Sona looks from her desk and almost laughs at Kenichi's state of affairs, but holds it back.
He is standing there with not only shredded clothes, but he is also more drenched than the cat seems to be (whom has almost no water on him). He is holding Blackie.
She crosses her arms.
"I warned you and said that I didn't want a bath." Blackie says smugly.
"Very Well. Tsubaki!"
Tsubaki comes out into the hallway and also sees the state of affairs.
"What's going on?" Blackie asks with slight worry.
"Kenichi's familiar, Blackie, is refusing to take a bath." Sone informs Tsubaki.
She simply nods to Sona.
'Oh Shit, this can't be good.' Kenichi thinks to himself.
"Kenichi."
He takes a big gulp.
"Yes. . . . . . Sona."
"Hold him."
"Wait! What's going on!" Shouts the cat.
Kenichi closes his eyes and holds out Blackie.
A ball of water forms in front of Sona as she holds her hands out. Then it blasts out at Kenichi and blackie and they both get completely soaked. He nearly falls over from the blast, but he plants himself before that could happen. His familiar looks back at him in disdain. His fur is soaked and now flat. Water drips off of him.
"Tsubaki, now!"
With that announcement from Sona, Kenichi and Blackie stare back at Tsubaki. She has a ball of electricity in front of her.
Kenichi inwardly whines.
'Why me?'
The electricity shoots out and hits the both of them. As they both get hit with the bolt, their hair poofs out.
Sona nods contently and then walks back into her room.
Tsubaki looks at Kenichi amusingly and analytically. She goes to poke him and a small spark of electricity arcs from him to her index finger.
"How could you?" He asks her.
"Kings orders." She states.
He sighs.
"Congratulations on your familiar, Kenichi." She adds while walking away.
"Thanks."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day, Koryo High School. Club hours.
A certain red-head was walking past the school garden while talking on the phone with a certain devil.
"Kenichi, you mean to tell me that you got a cat yesterday and didn't tell me!" Kisara shouts into the phone.
Her eyes have a happy glow about them despite the fact that she is angry.
Little did she know that her shouting, especially shouting Kenichi's name, caught the attention of a particular girl inside of the school garden. The dark-haired girl wiggles between some of the flowers and plants inside the green house and puts an ear near one of the windows.
After a moment, Kenichi returns the phone to his ear on his side.
{Look, Kisara, I just got him last night. He is my familiar.}
"I want to see him . . . . today . . . . now."
{I can't show you right now. I do still have school duties you know.}
"Skip them!"
{You will just have to wait. Would you like me to come to the house after school?}
Kisara cringes at the thought of him showing up at her house and the possibility that her parents might be there (and also the maid).
"No. We can't go there."
{What about your apartment.}
Her face gets a little red.
"My apartment?"
'I've never had anyone come to my apartment, especially guys.'
{Why not? Your manager wouldn't kick you out if I just bring him for a little while for a visit, right?}
"I would hope not."
{Good, then text me the address. Oh. I have to go. I will talk to you later.}
"Hey. Wait a minute . . . "
Her sentence gets cut off as he hangs up the phone.
"This would have been so much easier if he still went here instead of Kuoh Academy."
'Kuoh? I will have to look it up. I hope the library is still open. This might be my chance.' The dark-haired girl with glasses thinks to herself from within the garden.
Kisara smacks her forehead.
'Shit. I will have to do some cleaning if he is going to show up. But I get to see his new kitty!'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Later on.
Kenichi gets to a two-level apartment complex that has stairs leading up to the second level. The place has a run-down feeling to it as he looks around. Some of the rails seem to be a bit rusty. Other areas look like they could use some maintenance.
'Is this really where she lives?' He wonders.
Currently, Blackie is inside of a duffel bag that he is carrying. He walks up the stairs and gets in front of her apartment. He could hear some commotion coming from inside of her apartment but shrugs it off. He rings the doorbell and kneels down by his bag.
"Just a second. Is that you, Kenichi?"
"Yeah."
He looks around before pulling Blackie out of his bag, holds him up by his sides and looks at him with concern.
"No matter what happens, be nice. You can't hurt her, kill her, or maim her."
Blackie looks back with concern.
"Why are you saying it to me like that?"
Just as Kenichi was about to reply, Kisara's door flies open. She then proceeds to grab the cat out of Kenichi's hands, rushes back into her apartment, and shuts the door. This leaves Kenichi bewildered outside of her apartment.
"What the heck just happened." He says aloud while blinking a couple of times.
For a brief moment, he imagines a dotted line where his cat once was and is now not there.
"Kisara!"
He hears giggling from inside of the apartment.
"Unhand me you beast! Do you realize who you are messing with?" Blackie says to her.
After a sigh, Kenichi slowly opens the door and sees Kisara hugging the cat while spinning in a desk chair. He shuts the door behind him.
She has a rather small apartment. She has a twin-size bed that seems to double as her couch. Across from the bed is a dresser that has a TV on top of it. A couple of game consoles are haphazardly attached to it with wires lying about. There is a tiny kitchen area with very little counter space. The sink seems to be filled, but its contents are covered with a dish towel. The short garbage can that seems to be over flowing with garbage. There is a bookshelf with items that seem to be lazily placed on it.
"Master, save me!"
Despite the fact that Blackie seems to be in slight duress, the sight before Kenichi almost makes him laugh.
'Who would have thought that the 8th fist could act like this. It's kind of cute.' The disciple muses.
"He is so cool Kenichi. He can even talk."
She puts him down and goes to a skinny pantry door. She pulls out a bag of cat treats and places a few on the floor for him.
"Ugh. At least she has an offering of peace for me." Blackie says to Kenichi.
Blackie goes up to the treats and sniffs them.
"She has good taste." He adds and proceeds to eat them.
Kisara also gets out a few cat toys such as a fake mouse and a fluffy object attached to a rod via a string.
She uses Blackie as a distraction to hide her embarrassment for the state of her apartment, and the fact that she has a guy in her apartment.
"Sorry."
"For what?" He asks in reply.
She scratches the back of her head.
"This place isn't exactly very accommodating. I only have this chair and my bed. I was going to tell you that maybe you shouldn't bring him here."
"It's alright. It doesn't bother me." He says politely.
'What if it bothers me?'
"I don't have much to offer, but how about some tea?" She asks.
"That would be great."
He sits at the side of her bed.
She goes over to her stove and starts the process of making some tea.
Blackie sniffs into the air heads toward her bed. He peers underneath and sees a bunch of clothes and other items shoved underneath. He looks to the girl.
"Young lady. The underside of your bed is not meant for storing dirty clothes." Blackie announces.
She nearly drops a spoon that she was holding and turns slightly red.
Kenichi was about to look underneath but then he gets stopped.
"Don't you dare! That's a girl's private area." She tells Kenichi.
She tries to drape her blanket over the opening. As she does this, she remembers how she threw all kind of stuff that was lying around underneath the bed.
Blackie sniffs her garbage can.
"I don't know what is in your garbage, but I have smelled dead carcasses that smell better than this."
Her face gets even redder.
"don't worry about what's in there. I will take care of it later."
'This girl is kind of amusing.' Blackie thinks to himself.
To distract him. Kisara gets out some catnip and puts it on her small strip of tiled floor by the kitchen area.
"No. I will not fall for those tricks that those simple-minded domesticated cats fall for."
She shakes the bag a little.
"I must . . . resist." He adds.
With another shake, his eyes go wide, and he goes over to the catnip and begins eating it and rubbing against it.
'Damn. She got me.'
She could feel how flush she was, so she heads to the bathroom for a moment to regain her composure.
After she leaves, Blackie looks to Kenichi.
"You should also look under that dish cloth."
Kenichi crosses his arms.
"What is with you? That is rude."
"Perhaps, but just look anyways."
He walks over and lifts up the dish cloth and finds a pile of dirty dishes in her sink.
He sighs.
'Who would've thought.'
Kisara comes back out after a short bit and finishes making the tea. She notices the clean dishes and looks back to Kenichi, whom is looking away.
Blackie had become fully enthralled with the catnip.
Her face gets flushed again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A short while later, Kenichi leaves to use the bathroom, leaving Blackie and Kisara alone.
Her staring at the bathroom door get interrupted as she finds blackie looking up at her.
"Is something wrong?" She asks.
"No, but I was wondering about your relationship to him. I am more powerful than he is at the moment, but I chose to be his familiar. So, I wish to know about the people that he associates with. I am curious about you. You are human, but he still seems pretty enthralled with you. He even cleaned your dishes without any hesitation and he came here just for you. We haven't had too much time to talk about things since he only got me last night and he had school today."
"He's a devil because of me. He died while saving me. He also helped me out other times too. He is my friend. He lost so much of his previous life that I vowed to stay his friend."
He wags his tail slightly.
"I don't think that's all, is it?"
"What the hell do you mean."
"You really like him, don't you?"
"He's my friend."
"He's more than that."
She crosses her arms.
"No. Dammit."
Blackie looks over his shoulder at a closet.
"If you don't admit it, then I will tell him about your overstuffed closet."
"You wouldn't dare."
He smirks.
"I've been around a long time, young girl. I can tell that you like him more than just friends. I won't say a word if you just admit it."
"I'm starting to wonder if a talking cat is such a great thing after all. He's all right. He has been really nice to me. I guess, out of all the guys I know, he would be okay enough to date. Don't you dare tell him that though. I would have to kick the shit out of you if you did."
'That would be amusing.' He muses to himself.
"I won't, but I have some advice for you."
"What?"
"If you are trying to impress him, then you need to try a little harder. This was pitiful."
"Hmph!"
"You can now play with me some more, human. I am still feeling some of the effects of that catnip."
"Okay, but I will have cat questions for you at some point."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After some time, and a lot of playing, Blackie had curled up on Kenichi's lap for a nap.
To get a closer look, Kisara sat right next to Kenichi without thinking about it. Her head partially rests against his shoulder while looking at the cat.
Kenichi looks at her and she ends up looking up at him. Their faces within inches of each-others. A long pause passes between them. They both get flushed and she backs away. The conversation with Blackie runs through her mind.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day, during club activities.
Kenichi was outside of the building where the kendo club girls change. He knew that this period of time is when they were already practicing.
He found the hole that the three perverts were using to peep on them. He is holding a tube of toothpaste in one of his hands.
"What are you doing?"
The girl's voice breaks Kenichi out of his concentration and he looks back to see a girl with brown hair that seems to be slightly unkempt and in twin tails. She also had red glasses on.
'She almost reminds me of Izumi.' He muses.
"Huh?"
"What are you doing?" She asks again.
"Well, there is a group of three guys that keep trying to peep on the kendo club. So I am plugging up the hole."
"With toothpaste?"
He nods.
"For now, at least. I read about it in one of my how-to books."
"You have books like that, too?"
"I have tons of them. Who are you, buy the way. I saw you once before. I am Kenichi."
She gages him with her glasses. Then smirks.
"I am Aika."
She crosses her arms.
"You know, those boys aren't going to be very happy with you. They come here all the time."
"This has to be done."
"You mean to tell me that you don't have dirty thoughts about girls and want to peep on them?"
He gets a little flustered.
"I am a teenage guy with hormones, but this is the right thing to do."
She gets a perverted smirk in amusement.
"So what kinds of how-to books do you have?" She asks, intrigued by the idea that someone else has how-to books.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After club activities were over, Kenichi was beginning to leave and finds that Kisara was sitting on a bench, just outside of the school. Her back was turned to him, but he could still tell that it was her. Her own leg was over the other and lightly bouncing in anxiousness.
Sona and Tsubaki were also with him.
'We were told that she was here again.' Sona thinks.
"Kenichi, we will head to the car. Should we wait for you?"
Tsubaki was surprised that she offered to wait for him.
"This probably won't take long. Thanks."
Sona and Tsubaki walk away. Kisara catches a glimpse of them as she looks over her shoulder.
Kenichi sits down next to her.
"Hey." She simply says to him.
As they start to talk, some of the other council members notice them talking while walking out as well. This includes Saji, and Momo.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That evening, Izumi was walking around after it had gotten dark outside. She is nervously clutching onto a piece of paper that she had directions written down on.
"Oh, no. This isn't good at all. All I wanted to do was find Kuoh Academy, and now I am lost trying to get back home."
She was beginning to pass an alleyway when she gets pulled into the dark alley.
She looks up to see a rather tall man with black hair. He has a beard and a mustache. The navy trench coat he is wearing seems to be over-sized, along with the rest of the clothing.
"I knew that this was a bad idea." Izumi timidly says.
"Bad for you, but good for me. For tonight, you will be my meal."
"Meal?" She replies with a gulp.
'Is he a cannibal?' She wonders.
His facial hair begins to grow. His whole body begins growing hair. He gets slightly taller and bulkier. What was once oversized, now becomes just right for the man as he changes into a werewolf. His nose and mouth grow out like a wolf's mouth. He instantly salivates while looking hungrily looking at his young prey.
His big, clawed hands hold her tightly by the arms.
She instantly begins sweating in worry and begins crying.
"Don't worry. It'll all be over soon."
He opens his mouth wide and bites down onto her shoulder. He could taste her as her blood mixes with his saliva.
She does the only thing that she could think of to do and lets out a blood curling scream. The loud and high-pitched scream reverberates through his ears and he lets go of Izumi to cover his hurting ears.
She instantly takes off. Her shoulder bleeds through her shirt and it is in agonizing pain.
"Damn! It's a screamer."
He begins to chase after her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kenichi was out running with Blackie by his side. They were on their way back home after he did some training with Sakaki at the warehouse.
"Damn, your fast, kid." Blackie tells him.
"That's because of all the training that my masters put me through. It's still not fast enough though."
"I haven't had to run like this in a long time."
His running also catches the eye of a nearby fallen angel and she begins to fly closer to him.
'It's Kenichi.' She muses happily from a distance.
Everyone's musing become short-lived as they hear a blood curling scream.
"What was that?" Asks Kenichi.
"It came from that way."
Kenichi follows Blackie in the direction of the scream. As they get closer, Izumi comes out from around a building and trips. He instantly goes up to her.
"Izumi, is that you?" He shouts.
She barely manages to lift herself up and he notices her shoulder.
"Are you okay? What happened?"
When she looks up and notices who it is, she instantly clutches onto him and cries into him.
Blackie begins growling.
"Kenichi, you better take stance. We have a problem here."
Kenichi looks up from Izumi and sees the werewolf standing there.
"I don't know who you are, nor do I care, but you will all become my prey tonight."
"Izumi." Kenichi says seriously.
She looks up at him with red and tear-filled eyes.
"You need to let go."
She heads his words and lets go of him.
He steps out and gets into a fighting stance.
'So, this is a werewolf. I guess it makes sense that they're real too. I can't let him hurt her though."
A couple of other werewolves come out from the sides.
"If you know what's good for you, you will step aside. She is my prey. I already marked her."
"You aren't going to get anywhere near her. You will have to fight me to get to her."
"Oh. Is this a challenge? This could be fun. You don't smell ordinary. I bet you're a devil aren't you. I am going to guess that you must be rogue if you don't have anyone else with you. What's it matter to you if she dies. It's not like it will matter to you soon enough anyways. Besides, she is only human."
Blackie stares at the two lackies.
"You dogs would be mere child's play for me." The cat tells them.
They start snarling at Blackie.
"What if I just take her and run?" Kenichi asks
"That wouldn't do you any good. I would hunt you track you down to the ends of the world. I have your scents. I would not just let it go. I, Rowson, will be the pack leader soon and it wouldn't do me any good if I just let my prey escape, now would it. No. I will set an example out of you. If you don't want to drag this out, then I have a place we can go to. I don't wish to fight out here in the open like this."
Just as he says this, they hear sirens in the background.
He tells Kenichi where to go and he begins to run off with the other werewolves.
"Bring her with you."
Kenichi looks back to a confused and still crying Izumi.
"Kenichi, what's going on? Is this for real?"
"We have to go right now. I will explain what I can as we go along. I'm sorry that you got involved in something like this."
As they run away. He dials up Serafall.
{Hello. Hello, my dear rook. What's wrong? You are huffing and puffing.}
"I have a problem. A friend of mine ran into a werewolf, Rowsan, and she got bit. I have to fight him for her or he will hunt her down and kill her."
He also tells her the place where he is supposed to go.
{Let me make some calls.}
"I don't have time. I have to help her."
He hangs up the phone.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Up in the air, someone else makes a call.
"Azazel?"
{Yes, Amaris?}
