SuperNatural Paradox

Volume 8 Chapter 1: Searching For a Soul Eater

"I've done a lot of research last night on this subject." Koto pushed up his glasses. "It seems that I've come to a conclusion on a few ideas on what it could be." Everyone's eyes stayed on Koto for his explanation. "I think it's a Soul Eater."

"What's a soul eater?" Sophia asked.

"It's exactly as it sounds. A creature that eats someone's soul to live; it only needs at least one soul per week in order to survive. They'll be hard to catch, but at least they only eat once a week so we don't have to worry about another victim in this school until next week."

"How do you suppose we find this bully?" Tsuno asked.

"For now, we don't have anything to lead up on so what we have to do is find suspects in this school. We should write down a list of people who don't eat anything for lunch in the next couple of days. If we see someone eat then we can scratch them off the list because Soul Eaters can't eat anything else besides souls."

"So you think this is a student in our school?" Shin asked.

"Of course, in fact, it could turn out to be someone that we know very well of." Koto pushed up his glasses again. "Starting tomorrow we start searching everyone for clues."

"You here that?" Surina wore a detective's hat and a magnifying glass. "Let's get started then."

"Do they look suspicious? I wonder?" Surina watched two guys enter the bathroom the next day. She walked over and hid by pushing her back against the wall. "I bet they're up to something in there." She pushed open the door as hard as she could. "I got you two red handed!"

The two boys turned from the urinals to face Surina and screamed. One accidently leaked on the other. "Great, look what you did." He said.

"I'm sorry bro; I didn't mean to do that."

"Grr," he began getting angry. "What the hell are you doing in here? This is the men's restroom!" He yelled at Surina.

"Interesting," She looked through her magnifying glass over the peed area of the boy. "It looks like you're all cleared." She turned around and walked out of the room.

"What was that about?" he asked as he turned around.

"Dude, she just saw our penis."

"WHAT!? I WAS VIOLATED BY A GIRL!"

"I found the bully," Tsuno watched Shino come out of the classroom. "I wonder where he's going." He tiptoed and followed him.

"So," Sophia stood in the lunch line. "Are you guys going to get something to eat?" she smiled at them. The boys all began to blush.

"Why of course. Would you care to join us?" one of them asked.

"I can't believe Sophia Katatsuin is actually talking to us." Another began thinking. "She's the hottest girl in the school, I wonder if she'll go out with me."

"Well I um…" Sophia was lost of words.

"We can sit together." One of the boys started pushing her towards the lunch line.

"NO!" she screamed. "I will not get eaten by the likes of you!" she ran out of the room as quickly as possible.

"Eat her? What is she talking about?" the boys stood there confused.

"Is he going to the lunch room?" Tsuno stood behind an opened locker door. "Oh no!" he quickly hid behind the door when Shino turned around. "He's up to something, I know it." When Shino turned back around he entered the lunch room and Tsuno quickly tiptoed after him.

"Oh Koto!" a few of the girls ran up to him. "What are your life goals again? We want to hear all about them, again."

"I uh," Koto's face began to turn red. "I want to discover all the mysteries that this world has to offer."

"Really?" a girl started rubbing his back. "Like the mysteries of sexual relationships?" she slowly moved her hand near his butt.

"I uh…" Koto's face began to sweat. "I got to go!" he quickly raced out of the room and closed it. "Thank goodness, I think I was being seduced by one of the girls."

"Oh darn!" the girl said. "I almost had him. I know that he likes me."

"Don't worry Shirley; I'm sure one day you two will be sharing the same bed together." The girls began to giggle.

"Oh, the bully is only eating normal human food." Tsuno turned around depressed. "I was hoping that I could actually solve a case. Boy, this club is really hard. I wonder if anyone else is having better luck then I am."

"So you have eaten something in the last hour?" Shin asked a few people.

"Yea, what of it?" the kids walked away from him. "What a dork. I can't believe Sophia actually likes this kid."

"Grr… I'm not a dork!" Shin yelled.

"Oh Shin!" Megumi popped out. "We're all alone, no Sophia and Surina. How about you and me go out for a date now." She held onto his arm and rubbed her boobs all over it.

"Me-Megumi, I, I can't do it right now." He quickly pulled his arm away from her and gave some distance between them.

"Oh, but why not?" she stuck out her lips.

"Because I'm doing some investigation work right now. Besides, if Surina found out I was around you she would kill me big time, so right now I got to go." He quickly raced out of the room.

"I'm beginning to hate that Surina more and more!" she stomped her foot angrily. "Don't worry Shin," she smirked. "I'm going make you mine one of these days, you'll see."

"Oh Tsuno!" Shin waved his hand. "Have you had any luck on finding anyone?"

"No, I tried looking at every bully in the school, but all of them went to the lunchroom to eat something. I guess it wasn't any of those bullies."

"Have you seen Surina, Sophia, or Koto anywhere?"

"Nope."

"Run away!" some of the kids running down the hall screamed. "There's a crazy lady chasing after us!"

"All I want to know is where you've been these last few days! That's all!" Surina yelled as she chased after them.

"I guess she'll never learn." Shin sighed. "Let's just head back to class and talk to the others during our club meeting later on."

"Oh Shin," a girl stuck out her hand from a classroom to wave Shin to come over to her. "Come here, I got something for you."

"What now Megumi?" he asked.

"Megumi, you mean that bully that Surina told us to try to keep an eye on in case she does anything bad?"

"Yes, I guess I'll go see what she wants." He walked over to the doorway. "What is iiiiiit?" Shin's eyes widened from shock. The girl grabbed him and pulled him inside the empty room and closed the door.

"Um Shin…" Tsuno stood there not knowing what to do. "Should I come too?"

"We're finally together." The girl had a deep voice. She rubbed Shin all over her boobs and squeezed him as hard as she could. "I've been dreaming of this moment for such a long time.

"I, uh… can't breathe." She finally let go. He looked up and froze in shock to see what he was looking at. She was a fat girl, double the size of Shin in height and weighs about three hundred pounds. She wore a bikini outfit with her hairstyle in two pig tails. "Who the hell are you? And why are you wearing a bikini outfit in school?"

"Do you like?" she asked in her manly voice. "I've been working on my figure for you for months now." She posed and her belly flopped up and down. Shin's face began to turn green.

"For months, did it help?" he could hardly keep up the puke.

"Yes, I've already lost one hundred pounds, and now I'm working on fifty more pounds." She posed again and winked at him.

"I uh, got to go now. I need some fresh air." and started to turn the knob before she grabbed him again and hugged him close to her boobs.

"Oh, please don't go! I've been dreaming for this moment for years now." She let him go and he took a deep breath. "My name is Big Marley. I'm a twin sister you know."

"That's good for you." he answered. "Let's hope your twin is ten times prettier than her, and skinnier may I add," he mumbled.

"There you are Shin!" Surina's hand came out of the opened door and pulled Shin out of the room.

"Hey! Shin! Where did you go?" Big Marley looked around.

"Thank goodness you came, Surina." Shin sighed. "If you hadn't who knows what could have happened to me." He looked up at her and saw that she was angry.

"Now, what were you doing in there with that girl?" she demanded as she tapped her foot.

"No, wait. I wasn't going to do anything like that of the sort. I promise." Shin began to get nervous. Surina's foot flew forward and kicked him in the shin. "Ow! I told you I didn't want to do anything of the sort! All I wanted to do was escape from her!"

"I don't care! I don't trust what you say with all these girls surrounding you." She grabbed ahold of his wrist and started pulling. "Come on, we need to get to class."

"Hey wait!" Big Marley came stomping out with her belly flopping. "That's my Shin! You can't take him away from me!"

"Oh yea!" Surina glared at her. "Who's going to stop me?"

"I am!" she started rolling towards her as fast as she could. Surina jumped up and did a jump kick on Marley and she flew back and hit the wall. "Ok," she felt dizzy. "You win this time, but next time I'll win for sure and Shin will be mine." She fell unconscious on the floor.

"Come on, let's go." Surina continued to pull Shin.

Sophia, Koto, Shin, Surina and Tsuno all sat in the club room after school. "Well, it looks like our first day was a huge failure." Koto said still feeling embarrassed. "But I guess we have to fail like this in order to understand what to look for next time."

"I honestly thought a few kids said they were going to eat me." Sophia shivered. "Then I realized they were talking about the cafeteria food. Next thing I knew I was having lunch with a bunch of kids that I didn't know."

"Koto, what kind of genders is Soul Eaters usually?" shin asked curiously.

"They can be male or female. Why does it matter?" Koto asked pushing up his glasses.

"Well, if all the victims are girls, wouldn't it make sense if it was someone that's a boy?" Koto pushed up his glasses as he listened. "Not just any boy, but a boy that can really lure in the girls and take them to a place to be alone."

"Shin," Koto began saying. "That was an excellent deduction. You're smarter than you look."

"Thanks." He frowned.

"If it were a boy it would make this case a lot easier since now we only need to watch half of the kids and if we take into consideration what Shin said we'll only need to find a guy who can really attract the girls."

"Wow, I can't believe you thought of that yourself." Sophia praised Shin.

"Of course," Sophia looked through her magnifying glass. "I was the one searching for the clues that might have made him think of this possibility."

"Not at all," Shin said. "I've been thinking of it since yesterday, and if I'm right then there's only one guy in this school that I know who acts like a lady's man." Everyone wanted to hear who Shin thinks it is. "Kunai Ichijo."

"Then I guess we have our first suspect." Koto wrote his name on the board. "I guess tomorrow we will all keep a close eye on him to see if he does anything funny." He pushed up his glasses.

"How was your day today?" Mrs. Ichijo asked Kunai when he entered the house.

"I'm doing great. All the girls adore me, which makes it ten times easier to lure them into any area so that I can feed on their soul." He replied.

"That's just like a Soul Eater." She smiled. "Your father is out for business right this moment so it's just the two of us here. Have you had anything to eat this week?"

"Yes actually, just yesterday."

"Oh that's too bad." She opened up a door and pulled out a man who was tied up. "I grabbed a few people to stock up for food. I guess you're not hungry so I'll feed without you." Her body soon was covered by a blue flame and surrounded the man. Then the flames went back into her and the man dropped to the floor dead. "Now, that was a delicious soul." She smiled.

"I'll be up in my room." He walked upstairs.

"Now what to do with the body… I know I'll give it to a ghoul if I can find one." She started to drag him out of the house.
