SuperNatural Paradox
Volume 11 Chapter 1: The Fatal Bite
"Hurry up and answer Surina." the man smiles. "There's no point in staying because there is no one for you. Shin has other friends now. I would say he's an ungrateful little brute."
"Will you shut up?!" Surina yells. "He is not at all like that."
"Really then, how comes he isn't trying to cheer you up or anything? To me it looks like he's at his house having fun with Sophia."
"You don't know anything about Shin!" she began feeling angry. She stands up and begins walking over to him. "He's the kindest person that I ever met. Even with a sorrowful past he's still growing stronger. He was there for Sophia when she too was going through a lot. That's why she's growing closer to him. He's been trying to be there for me but," she looks down. "I wouldn't let him come near me."
The man began laughing. "So it's your own idiocy that you're not with Shin right now. You're making this easier for me. You're making yourself suffer." He stops laughing and looks right into her eyes. "Then how about I kill your little friends right before your eyes?"
"You wouldn't dare."
"I would. Right now I have Midna, Megumi and Narushi all captured. I would hate for something bad to happen to any of them."
"You Monster!" She begins running at him. She jumps up into the air to kick him but he disappears and reappears from behind. "He's so fast." Then he punches Surina on the back and she goes flying into a tree. The tree crashes to the ground from the impact.
"You minus well give up, it has all been settled. You and all of your friends will end up dead." He smiles as he walks to her. "I know all about them, Sophia, Shin, Tsuno and Koto. I've been watching you for a while now so I know who you're all close to."
"I won't let you lay a finger on them! No one!" Surina pulls out a small flask from her pocket and then she drank some of it; blood ran down her mouth. Her brown eyes began turning red and her skin changed to an even paler color.
"It looks like she's finally getting serious." the man smiles. "This shall be an interesting fight indeed." Surina starts walking towards him then suddenly vanishes. "She's fast too. Where did she go?"
"Right behind you!" she throws her leg down from above him, but the man grabs ahold of it and throws her. Surina perfectly flips backwards and lands on her feet. "It looks like you've gotten stronger too since the last time I've met you."
"How I'm going to enjoy tearing those unused guts of yours out." He begins running at her again, and as he did he turns into a werewolf. He jumps up and Surina dodges him, but he quickly swings around and claws her on her arm. Surina immediately jumps away. He watches her arm begin to heal.
"It's time to bring fear to you!" Surina begins staring at him with an intense look.
"That won't work on me anymore!" he runs at her as fast as possible and jumps right on top of her and both land on the ground. "You see, I've been training myself over the years to be able to withstand your abilities. Now you can't bring fear to me with those red eyes anymore."
"Then how about a bite?" two fangs pops out of her mouth and she starts to dig them into his skin. The man begins to howl from the pain.
"Quit it!" the wolf throws his paws at Surina's face and pushes it into the ground. Blood starts to run out from the back of her head and her fangs break off of her mouth. "Not so tough now." The wolf jumps back away from Surina. She forcibly tries to get up but the wolf jumps back on her with a powerful force. He smashes her face further into the ground, almost causing her to lose consciousness.
"This can't be." A tear drips from her face. "I've lost. I failed all of my friends, and because of me they're all going to be dead. I should have never come to Cherry Grove in the first place."
"That's a mistake that's going to be sent with you to your grave." The wolf turns back into a man and walks over to her and begins to drag her. Surina's eyes turns back to brown and her skin turns back to normal color.
"Goodbye, Shin." a tear drops down Surina's cheek as she is dragged off. The wind begins to blow harder and the snow begins to down pour.
"Look at that." Sophia looks out the window. "It looks like later on we can all go out and play in the snow." She says to her siblings.
"Can we build a snow fort?" Lola asks.
"Of course you can!" Mrs. Rento comes out saying. "We'll have a huge snowball fight." Lola and Shiro began getting excited. "Are in for that Shin?" she looks over and sees him nowhere.
"I think he's upstairs in his room. I think he might still be upset that Surina isn't around him anymore." says Sophia.
"Is that so?" Mrs. Rento looks up the stairs. "I think I'll go get him and ask him."
"No," Sophia stops her. "I'll go do it. I think I might be able to talk to him. After all," she begins giggling. "With your permission I might make my way into becoming is girlfriend."
"Really?" Mrs. Rento runs to her and gives her a big hug. "I've been waiting for someone to do that. I was wondering who was going to be the first to start taking action; if it would be you, Naomi or Surina."
"Naomi? How would she be able to do anything? She's, no offense to her, but she's dead."
"Oh that. Madam Furon said that she is trying to find a spell that can turn Naomi human again so that she stops taking Shin's life force. But, because she's in a coma right now she can't find anything anymore."
"I heard about her. Is she doing ok?"
"I don't have the slightest idea. The doctors can't find anything wrong with her. Whatever happened to her at her house it wasn't normal. The strange thing is, is that glass was the only thing broken in her house."
"That is strange. I think us club kids will look into it." She smiles and begins walking up the stairs.
"Sophia," she stops her. "Promise me that you and your friends, including Shin, won't do anything seriously dangerous."
"Don't worry Mrs. Rento. So far there hasn't been a thing that we can't handle. We've managed to take down ghouls and Soul Eaters. Shin and Surina managed to take down a demon and a ghost." She then turns back around and continues up the stairs.
"That's right." She begins mumbling. "But up till the Soul Eaters they had Madam help them out. I'm slowly getting more and more worried. What kind of troubles are they going to face next?"
"No way." Renge drops the bags she was holding when she saw Sophia's house burnt down. "How did something like this happen?" She then drops to her knees. "Did they die? No, I wasn't able to help protect Kaon's family members." Renge begins crying in her hands. Later she walks down the street carrying the bags of goodies. She then stops and begins to vision seeing Toshio and Sophia walk down the street together. "I can't believe that everyone in this town is slowly fading away." She then looks around and sees that the streets are less crowded than normal. "I wonder how many people have died since this has all started?" she then hears her phone ring and she picks it up.
"Renge, is this you?" Ross asks through the phone.
"Yes, what is it? You sound like something bad has really happened."
"It's your fiancé; he's in here at the hospital with a high fever. No matter what we try we seem to be unable to lower his temperature. If this keeps up he might die."
"What?" she covers her mouth with her left hand after dropping the bags. "Hold on, I'm on my way." She hangs up the phone and grabs the bags and quickly runs down the street. "No, I'm not losing you too! I can't take it anymore with all of these deaths!"
"This isn't like anything I've ever seen before." Ross says to one of the other nurses. He looks at the man's bite and sees red veins going all up his arm. "It doesn't seem like an infection to me, but yet something is killing him. What's causing these veins to be like this?"
"I don't know Ross." The nurse puts another bag of ice on Kaon's for head and removes the other one. She walks over to the sink and releases all of the water in the bag down the drain. "I haven't seen anything like this either. Out of all of the cases so far these last few months this is one of the newest ones."
"I got here as fast as I could." Renge runs in. She notices his arm immediately. She then covers her mouth with both hands. "How did a bite like that turn into something like this?"
"I don't know, I'm sorry to have you come in on your day off, but we need all the help we can get. And besides, I'm sure you wanted to know about him."
"When did he come on?"
"Last night. A man brought him in and said that he collapsed in front of his store. He wasn't nearly as bad then, he just fell unconscious. Just out of nowhere he started to get a fever. How many days has he had that bite now?"
"I think nine days now. I know he's been complaining about his hand but I never thought it would get this bad." She runs over and looks at his arm. "Don't worry Kaon; I'm going to do everything in my power to save you." she grabs a syringe and takes out some blood. "No way," she looks at it. "Did you see this yet Ross?"
"Yes, I've already seen it. It was one of the first few things that we did. Right now we're getting his blood analyzed." Renge continues looking at his blood.
"How is the blood white? What the hell is going on with him?" she begins to panic.
"Shin, you want to do a snow ball fight?" Sophia asks as she enters his room. She sees that he's on his computer looking up address. "You're trying to find Surina's address?"
"Yes, but I'm having no luck. Of course, I wouldn't I doubt that there would be any records of her moving into town."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, it's nothing. What is it that you wanted?"
"We were going to go out and have a snowball fight. We wanted to know if you would like to join us. It will give you a chance to take a break and be able to come up with fresher ideas afterwards. In fact I'll help in finding the address. I still need to write it down for our records in the club."
"Very well, I do need a break from this. I've been up here almost all day." He gets up and walks out with Sophia. Sophia quickly grabs his hand and he begins to blush a little.
"What happened?" The Mayor gets up from his bed. "Is it night already?" he looks around. "That's right! The Mistress has been taken away!" he begins running through the building.
"I don't think so." Duke steps out in front of him. "You are not allowed to leave this building for any reasons. I have been ordered to keep you inside this place at any cost. We wouldn't want to start a commotion with the Mayor dead now do we?"
"Damn him!" Barthamez began to think. "Damn that man in the trench coat. I need to figure out how to save the mistress before it gets too late." He runs over and picks up the phone. "Damn it, they cut the wires." he slams it down. "How am I going to spread the word to Shin? He's the only one that I know that can save her. I know, because Midna would always talk about him to me. Can you give someone a message for me?" he turns and asks Duke. "You can read the letter; I just need to give it to him right away." He hands him one.
"To Judge Tenten? I'll give it to someone who'll deliver it right away."
"And can you get me a certain contact lenses that make my eyes look normal. I'm going to need them right away."
"It's getting late." Ross wipes the sweat off his for head. "I think we're going to have to amputate his arm if we're going to save him."
"What?" Renge looks at him.
"If this is an infection, then it looks like his arm is long gone. We're going to need to take him to the emergency room right away and cut it off. It's the best chance that we got right now."
"Fine." Renge looks back at Kaon. "Don't worry," she rubs her hand across his for head. "Everything's going to be alright. You'll be better before you know it." Ross and a couple of other nurses begin to push him to the emergency room.
"I take it that you can handle it here?" Ross asks another doctor before leaving.
"We got it. Don you worry." he says before Ross leaves. "Let's begin the operation." He begins to slowly lower the scalpel in his hand to Kaon's shoulder. The moon turns into a bright red and in the far off distance you can hear a wolf howl. Just before the doctor began to cut the skin Kaon began to have a seizure. "What's going on? Why is he having a seizure right now?"
"I'm right on it." A nurse holds onto his head to help keep it from shaking. Kaon's bitten arm begins to grow hair on it.
"What the hell?" the doctor looks down at it. Kaon lifts up his hairy arm and grabs ahold of his neck, choking him to death. The other nurse lets go of his head and begins to scream. The other two nurses back up in fear. Kaon sits up and throws him at the wall, leaving him dead. His head begins to reshape into a wolf's head. His other arm begins to get hairy and he slowly gets off the table and falls to the ground and begins to have another seizure.
"What?" Renge runs in with Ross. "What's going on?"
"Look over there!" one of the nurses points. "He's turning into something that I've never seen before."
"Oh my goodness." Renge covers her mouth with both hands as she watches Kaon twitch on the floor. His limbs began breaking to heal into a different form. His leg slowly turns into a wolf's leg and his arms too. His clothes begin to tear and within minutes his whole body has turned into a complete wolf.
