SuperNatural Paradox
Volume 11 Chapter 3: Hell Night Part 2
"Where is Megumi?" Shin looks through her house. "I can't find her anywhere. Maybe I should call her." Shin begins dialing her cell number and hears a phone ring in the house. He goes over to the table and sees Megumi's cell phone. "She forgot her phone? Damn it!" he shoves his phone into his pocket. "Why does she have to choose tonight of all nights to forget her phone." he runs outside. "I guess I have no choice but to go straight to the hospital without her."
"We're here." Mrs. Rento says as they drive up in the parking lot. They see a bunch of television reporters and policemen keeping people from getting inside. "I don't know how we're going to get in honestly but…" Sophia opens the door and closes it then runs to the policemen. "She's not going to be able to get in like that."
"Hey you!" Sophia yells at one of the policemen. "I need help; there was this man over there that attacked me." She pretended to panic.
"Calm down Miss, I'll go check it out for you. Wait right here." The policeman walks away and Sophia smiles. She then darts towards the hospital through the open passage. "Wait miss, don't go in there!" the man says when noticing that she's running inside.
"I'll be damned." Mrs. Rento says as she gets out of her car. She watches Sophia run into the hospital. "She actually did it. She's a lot smarter than I thought."
"Now where would they be?" Sophia runs through the half empty halls.
"I'm warning mam, I really will pull the trigger so I suggest that you move out of the way right now. We can't afford that monster to get free." Ghin continues holding the gun at them.
"A monster you call him?" A tear drops down from her cheek as she begins remembering the things Kaon did.
"Here!" he kneels down in front of her and holds out a ring. "I want you to marry me." Renge stands there speechless.
"I don't know what to say. You made such a wonderful dinner and now you've got me this ring?"
"Not just any ring." He smiles." He pulls it out and hands it to her. "This ring belonged to my great, great grandma and is worth a lot."
"You're really giving this to me?" she grabs ahold of the ring and puts it on her finger.
"Please don't take this the wrong way, but I wanted to use that ring as your marriage ring too since it has a lot of value." He adds.
"Don't worry," she looks at it. "I accept it."
Renge looks down at her hand when finished thinking about the proposal. She lifts it up and looks at her ring. "He is my fiancé, and if you ever had one then you would know what I'm talking about."
"I'm sorry," Susan pushes up her glasses. "I'm afraid neither one of us knows that feeling. We've devoted our lives to study these supernatural creatures that we didn't have time for any such relationships."
"Is that so," Renge's arms dropped to her sides.
"Am I disturbing you?" Kaon came in after knocking on the door with a bouquet of flowers.
"Kaon!" Renge's face turned red. "You did it again. You came here to give me flowers. I told you not to do that while I'm at work."
"I know, but this time I asked the front desk when your break period is so that this time I could come at the right time."
"Thank you anyways." Renge grabbed ahold of the flowers and smelled them. She got up and walked over to one of her flower vases and sat them in it after filling it up with water. "You should," she was turned around and kissed by Kaon.
"It's not long now until our wedding day." Kaon smiled. "I can barely wait, can you?"
"No." she smiled. "But I do know that you need to be going now. I have work and you should be heading back to yours."
"I know," Kaon walked out of the room. "But I really missed you so I had to come see you."
Renge turns around and looks at Kaon, who is a wolf, and walks closer to him. "Don't do it!" Ghin yells. "He might hurt you." She didn't listen to him and continues walking. Kaon continues to growl with an intense look.
"How would you know," she steps up to Kaon and begins hugging him. "The power of love if you haven't felt it before?" the wolf stops growling and starts to give a calm look.
"Re-Renge? Is that you?" Kaon says.
Renge looks up at him and smiles. "Yes dear, it is me. You've finally regained your consciousness."
"I don't know, I, I can barely see you right now. I feel like I'm still losing control right now. I want you to know that I love you."
"I know, you don't have to say anymore." She continues to hug him.
"What do you know," Ghin lowers his gun. "She's actually taming the beast. I guess there's more to these monsters than I had thought."
"Ghin," Susan pushes up her glasses. "Don't forget the main objective. We still can't allow him to live in this town. It could cause the end of it." Then all of a sudden a wolf breaks through the window from behind. "Another one?"
"I've been waiting for you to finally mature." The wolf says. "Now you must come with me!" he smacks Kaon in the gut which caused him to collapse on the floor and turn back into a human. Renge was sent flying to the wall. He then picks up Kaon with his mouth.
"Not so fast!" Ghin shoots the wolf. The wolf vanished and dodged the bullet. "He's really fast, where did he go?" the wolf appears in front of them and head butts them both, sending them flying to the wall in the hall.
"What are you doing," Renge forces herself to stand up. "With my fiancé?" The wolf drops Kaon on the floor and transforms back into the man in the trench coat. "It's you from before." Renge's eyes opens wide. "You're the man that I talked to on my way home. You mean you were a werewolf this whole time?"
"It looks like you got some fighting spirit." He walks over to her. "I like women with a little fighting spirit, but unfortunately for you I can't play around with you. You see, in order for Kaon to become a successful werewolf he needs to live on with something called revenge. And what better way it is for him to take revenge on the one that killed his beloved fiancé."
"What? So you're going to make him hate you forever?"
"No, I'm going to make him hate them." He points at Ghin and Susan who are currently unconscious. He then walks out of the room to pick up Ghin's gun and comes back in. "You see," he points it at her. "With this there's enough evidence that they mistakenly killed you when trying to aim for him." He pulls back the trigger. Renge leans far back on the wall and closes her eyes.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on her!" Sophia runs into the room from the hole in the wall across from them.
"Sophia," Renge began feeling happy. "You're alive? I thought you were dead. Your house is burnt down."
"Oh yes, about that. I've decided that I didn't want to live there anymore so I burnt it down and moved in with the Rento family."
"Sophia Katatsuin," the man smiles. "I've been watching you too along with your club members."
"What? Who are you?" she quickly notices the trench coat. "Are you the man whose been stalking Surina?" she said angrily. The man only smiled before vanishing and reappearing behind her. He begins playing with her hair as he points the gun at her head.
"Don't you dare do anything to her!" Renge yells.
"Don't worry," he continues playing with her hair. Sophia takes a quick gulp from the gun being pointed at her head. "I'm not going to kill her yet. I already have plans for her later on. She is to be alive during then, but until then…" he lifts the gun off her head and points it at Renge. "You can watch me brutally kill her." He then shoots the gun three times. "No!" Sophia runs away from him and races over to her.
"Sophia," Renge kneels to the ground. "Please, save Kaon for me." She drops to the ground and Sophia lifts her head onto her lap.
"Now, if you would excuse me," the man turns back into the wolf. "I need to take my partings." He then grabs Kaon in his mouth and jumps back out of the window.
"Ka-Kaon," Renge begins mumbling.
"Don't talk Renge, you're going to make everything worse on yourself." Ghin and Susan begin to wake up.
"My vision, it's fading." She lifts up her hand and touches Sophia's cheek. "I can hardly see that beautiful face of yours."
"Don't say things like that! You're going to be alright. We just need to get you to the emergency room that's all. Hello! We need a doctor!" she screams.
"No, it's fine Sophia. I already know in my current state that I'm not going to live, but before I go I have something I want you to give to Shin Rento." She pulls out an envelope from her pocket and hands it to her. "I would have written you one, but I thought you were dead."
"Holy Shit!" Ghin panics when seeing Renge bleeding all over Sophia. "Susan, we need you to go get Doctor Ross over here right away."
"Don't worry," she pushes up her glasses. "I've already called him."
"That was fast!"
"I wish, I could see Kaon for one last time, but I can't." she begins to vision some happy memories.
"Ow!" Kaon yells. "That hurt." Renge finished putting on stitches.
"Oh that didn't hurt you. I know because you would have had more of a reaction than that. These things are very painful when you can feel it."
"You're very intelligent, Miss," he looks at her name tag. "Miss Renge."
"You can call me Renge." She smiles. A few months later she is out shopping with Kaon. "Do you think this looks good on me?"
"Well," he looks at it closely. "No, honestly I think you would look better in this." He pulls out a bikini. "That one doesn't show enough skin."
"Kaon!" she punches him on the arm softly. During Renge's parents funeral she sat down crying in her hands.
"Don't worry Renge," Kaon sits next to her. "This isn't your fault. There was no way that you would have known that a tire was flat on the car." She rests her head on his lap.
"I know, but it just isn't fair. You never once got to see how wonderful my parents are. I know that they would have really liked you."
"I'm sure they were such great parents since they raised such a beautiful lady such as you." he rubs her head.
"Just promise me one thing," Renge says to Sophia. "Promise me that you'll make sure that Kaon knows the truth about my death. He needs to know." She then dies in Sophia's arms.
"Don't worry Renge. I'll make sure of it, I promise you. That man in the trench coat is going to pay for what he did to you, and Surina." She slowly lowers Renge's head to the ground and stands up. Her clothes are drenched in her blood.
"Am I too late?" Ross runs into the room and sees Renge dead on the floor. "No, I was afraid of this."
"You," Ghin says to Sophia. "Do you know what happened here?" Sophia secretly slips the envelope into her pocket.
"No. When I got in here she was already shot." Sophia's face is covered in tears. She then runs out of the room.
"Wait girl. I'm not done asking questions." Ghin says.
"Leave her alone." Ross stops him. "She was close to Renge. She's been through enough as it is with almost all of her family members either dying or from turning up missing." He walks over to Renge's dead body and begins crying. "She was the best nurse that I've ever had. I can't believe she died here from bullets."
Ghin looks over at the gun and picks it up, he then shoves it into a plastic bag. "This is now evidence to a crime that no one has seen."
Sophia runs out of the building crying. She stops at Mrs. Rento's car and sees her there with Shin. "What happened?" Mrs. Rento asks.
"It's Renge, she was murdered." She looks up at Shin and runs into his arms and hugs him. "She was murdered by that man that you told me about. That man in the trench coat, and he says that he's going to come after me soon too." Shin slowly hugs her back.
"Don't worry Sophia, whoever this man is, us club members are going to make sure to stop him right away."
"There's one more thing," she looks up at him. "He's just not a man, he's a werewolf too."
"Then the next time that we see him we'll be prepared to take him down. You can explain all that to us at our next meeting. Come on," he pushes her into the car. "You're going to need a good night rest if you're to get over this." Sophia nods her head, wipes the tears off her face and enters the car.
"Who are you?" Kaon wakes up on the bar table. "Where am I?" he asks the man in the trench coat. "What happened to me, the last thing I remember was being on the streets being yelled at for resting on a mailbox."
"You're lucky I found you," the man smiles. "You've become a werewolf just like me."
"What do you mean a werewolf?"
"You'll understand soon, but I think there's something you need to know. You turned into a werewolf and two policemen named Ghin and Susan were trying to kill you. In the process they shot Renge who was trying to protect you."
"What?" Kaon's eyes widen.
"I was only able to save you; I couldn't manage to get her out for you. I'm very sorry, but if you want revenge I know very well how to help you." he smiles.
"NOOOO!" Kaon screams all through the night.
