Chapter 2 - Something in The Mirror
Kagura Enterprises
Chizuru was totally confused as to how had she managed to wake up in the rooftop of her own building.
"What the hell I'm doing here?!" - Chizuru asked to herself confused as she looked at the traffic of the streets
"(Argh! My head hurts like hell, did I sleepwalk here by myself? But how?!)" - Thought Chizuru as she started to walk the stairs of the building to go down to the offices
One hour later
Chizuru was in her office, still wearing her pajamas waiting for her driver to appear with her clothes.
"Why is he taking so long?" - Chizuru looked at her clock
"Ms. Kagura, I came here as soon as you called! How is that you managed to come to Kagura Enterprises's building sleepwalking?" - Said Akihiro entering the office with Chizuru's business clothes
"I... I really don't have any idea, but thanks Akihiro." - Said Chizuru taking the clothes out of Akihiro's arms
Chizuru was going to change her clothes when she realized Akihiro was still there, blusing while looking at her waiting to change
"Akihiro, what are you doing?" - Asked Chizuru a bit annoyed and confused looking at her driver who tried to act as if he wasn't there
"E...Eh? Sorry, I thought you wanted something else like a breakfast or something?" - Asked Akihiro ashamed
"No, can you give me some privacy?" - Said Chizuru
"Yes, sure, Ms. Kagura." - Akihiro got out of the office
"(Was he really trying to watch me while I change?)" - Thought Chizuru a bit creeped out
"(Wait a moment!)" - Chizuru got up of her desk to the door and saw how in the doorknob Akihiro was still there trying to watch her
Chizuru angry removed the top of her pajamas and put it on top of the doorknob to make it so Akihiro couldn't watch her anymore
"(I didn't know Akihiro was such a pervert! But he is a married man, why would he start acting like that with me?)" - Chizuru thought creeped out by her driver's behaviour.
"*Sniff* I had forgotten about this smell." - Said Chizuru realizing the awful smell that had sticked to her ever since the fight with Jounetsu was still there
Chizuru got out of the office and saw her driver still there waiting for her
"Ms. Kagura, aren't you going to continue with the meeting of yesterday?" - Akihiro
"Not today, I'm going to take some fresh air. Tell them to delay the meeting until new advice." - Chizuru
"Don't you want me to drive you today?" - Akihiro
"NO! I mean, don't worry, I'll walk!" - Said Chizuru
"(I don't think I want to be on the same car with him, after catching him wanting to see me naked.)" - Thought Chizuru as she went out of her building
Two hours later
Chizuru was sitting in a park as she was feeling a bit hurt as if she had fell out of the stairs.
"(I need to remember what happened yesterday! Think, Kagura. I remember Mai and King visiting me but I wasn't feeling like talking with them yesterday... Then I remember watching TV for some hours until it was 9:00 PM when I went to sleep.)" - Chizuru
"(What happened after that? Did I really sleepwalk my way from the mansion to my building? But why do I felt like if someone had attacked me with a frying pan?)" - Thought Chizuru hurt in her shoulders
In that moment a little girl wearing a blue school uniform and a red ribbon in her hair sitted alongside Chizuru in the same bench of the park
"Hi. Can I sit here, please?" - Said the girl to Chizuru
"Sure!" - Said Chizuru as she was loss in her thoughts
The girl took out a bag of paper that was with her. She started to feed the birds that were on the park as Chizuru just looked at her
"I know this might sound weird but I always come at this hour to feed the birds." - Little Girl
"That's very nice of you, what's your name?" - Asked Chizuru curious
"My name is Asuna Ayame, you must be the famous Chizuru Kagura owner of Kagura enterprises?" - Asuna
"Nice to meet you, Asuna. You must be a very good girl in the school?" - Chizuru
"Ah... Yeah I'm doing my best." - Asuna
In that moment Chizuru had a weird idea
"Hey, Asuna." - Chizuru
"Yes?" - Asuna
"I know this sounds weird... But would you mind to tell me if my hand smells weird?" - Said Chizuru feeling nervous and embarrassed of her question
"... Ok?! *Sniff*" - Asuna smelled Chizuru's hand
"It smells like nothing!" - Said Asuna
"WHAT?!" - Chizuru was confused and after that smelled her hand, just to realize the awful smell was there
"Are you playing a joke on me? I smell weird, like a rotten meat or something awful." - Said Chizuru thinking Asuna was playing a joke to her
"No, Ms. Kagura. I'm serious, your hand doesn't have any strange smell." - Asuna
"(Had I become paranoid? Or this girl must have an awful nose if she didn't smell anything.)" - Thought Chizuru looking at her hand
In that moment Chizuru saw a hawk flying through the sky close to the park
"A hawk?" - Chizuru
"Strange, what is a hawk doing flying over this skies?" - Said Asuna
"Oh, look at the hour! I have to go now, Ms. Kagura. Bye!" - Said Asuna as she got up of the bench and started running
"(What a strange girl!)" - Chizuru
Kagura's State
"Honey, I'm home!" - Chizuru arrived at her mansion
"(Sigh) I forgot, I'm not married!" - Chizuru
"I felt so dizzy." - Chizuru
Chizuru sitted in her couch trying to think of what to do now as she was getting more and more freakout by this smell that acompany her
"How is possible that this Asuna girl didn't smell anything but I had two of my neighbors telling me the perfume I used smelled strange." - Chizuru
"I really don't know what to do anymore." - Chizuru
"Let's see if we have any messages pending." - Chizuru pressed a button of her answering machine
"(Ms. Kagura, is me, Gustab. I wanted to invite you to the 15 year birthday party of my daughter in South Town. I thought it would be good idea if we could sit down a little and talk about the current business situation of our companies as I think you and me could form a good partnership that would benefit both... Think about it Ms. Kagura? Sincerely, Gustab M.)" - Said one of the messages
"Next!" - Chizuru
"(Chizuru, is me, King. I was wondering if we could visit you this monday as I'll be helping Mai to clean her dojo. Maybe we could talk about the good old times and visit some places with you? What do you say?)" - King
"Ugh, next!" - Chizuru
"(Hi, Chizuru. Is me Reiji. I wanted to thank you for helping us the other day to return home after the party. My daughter really likes spending time with you, maybe we should see each other soon? Anyway, thank you for being a good friend.)" - Reiji
"(Sigh)... NEXT!" - Chizuru
"(Chizuru, is your sister Maki! Talking from hell, these demons keep telling me you have been a pretty naughty girl recently, they said you're seducing every man you find on the street like the slut you really are! Is that truth? HAHAHAHAHA, sorry is... Is just that your sister is dead!)" - Said a strange voice making Chizuru felt cold shivers
"WHAT?! That...That voice, it can't be!" - Chizuru recognized the voice
"(Oh, I'm glad you still remember me, Chiz! It know it only has been a week but I'm already starting to miss you, we never got a chance to finish our business but who knows? Maybe we will reunite sooner than you think?! Say hello to your new self for me!)" - Said the strange voice that Chizuru recognized as Jounetsu
"Jounetsu, you damn monster! My new self? What are you talking about?!" - Chizuru tried to hear the same message but the machine repeated Gustab's one making Chizuru mad
"ARGH!" - Chizuru throwed the machine to the wall, making it break in tons of pieces
"(Maybe I imagined that! My mind must still playing tricks with me after what happened with Jounetsu.)" - Chizuru turned on the TV
"Today on our special report, the Ghost Killer returns?" - Said the reporter catching the attention of Chizuru
"Wait what?" - Chizuru
"According to recent visual witness and one scary footage caught this early morning it seens the calm weeks we had without hearing about the Ghost Killer stopped after his or her return this monday!" - Reporter
"Yes, I was returning from my job when I saw a strange creature flying emiting a strange sound... Kinda like a bat screaming. It looked like a woman with long black hair and she had strange pale skin, it was like she was dead with those demonic red eyes." - Said a man to the reporters
"I awaken to go for some water in the kitchen, when I returned I saw that thing on top of my husband as she tried to kiss him. I remember closing the eyes and hitting her with a broomstick. The thing left very fast escaping for the window, I really thought it was going to kill me!" - Said a wife as she hugs her husband
"I saw that thing entering my dad's room. I decided to record it as I thought nobody would believe me, didn't know I wouldn't be the only one who saw this thing." - Said a girl to the reporter
A video starts playing as we see the girl recording the creature creeping in her dad's room as he sleeps. At first the creature stands looking at the sleeping man. As we see in the images the creature sports a long black hair, a pale white body and two bright red eyes.
"(Jounetsu?! But that can't be! I sealed that succubus away! I sealed that succubus away!)" - Thought Chizuru unable to believe what she was seeing
"Fortunately, that thing leaved my dad when she saw me." - Said the girl
"We just want to remind our audience to take care when walking on the night as it seens this strange creature could be anywhere." - Said the news reporter as Chizuru turned off the TV
"But this can't be, maybe... Maybe Jounetsu wasn't alone?" - Said Kagura surprised to see that
Chizuru saw it was already night and went to sleep thinking about starting to investigate about this new ghost killer tomorrow
"(Yawn) This smell is killing me!" - Said Chizuru entering her bed to sleep
The next morning
"Hey! Hey, wake up!" - Said two officers looking at the sleepy Chizuru
"Wha...What happened (Yawn) Who are you?" - Chizuru asked confused as she started waking up realizing this wasn't her bed
"This is a parking lot not a bed, Missy!" - Said the officer to the sleepy Kagura
Kagura looked at the place where she had awaken, it was the parking lot of a mall
"Did I sleepwalked again?" - Chizuru said confused
"Listen, missy. We can't let you sleep on the streets. You will have to come with us." - Said one of the officers grabing Chizuru as she started to walk with them
"(Argh! My arm hurts as if I had cut myself, what happened to me?)" - Thought Chizuru grabing her arm
One week later
Cambodia - Ikari Warrior's base
"As you know, the reports of attacks of night creatures keep coming from South Town and Japan." - Said Whip to a group of soldiers, including her partners Ralf Jones, Clark Still and Leona Heidern.
"Now, we don't know how it started but footage like this that has become viral telling us we could be fighting ourselves against some type of monster or bioweapon?" - Whip
In that moment a soldier rises his hand
"Do you think this has something to do with NESTS or some terrorist group?" - Asked the soldier
"I don't know, Brad but I know we have to do something to stop it and capture this creature whatever her origin is." - Said Whip to the group
"Exactly! I just recieved a call from the vice president, he wants us to investigate what is happening in both Japan and South Town. They have the theory that all of this started in Japan with the incidents of the Ghost Killer that stopped from some days until that monday when this attacks started again in japan. And now we have something similar in South Town." - Said Heidern entering the room
"What do you suggest, Commander?" - Said Clark
"I suggest to form two teams and investigate in both places, anything we can found about this "Ghost Killer" Could be useful." - Heidern
"Ralf and Clark, you will take command of group A and investigate in South Town." - Heidern
"Seirah and Leona, you will take command of group B and investigate in Japan." - Heidern
"Understand?" - Heidern
"Yes, sir!" - Said the entire squad as they leaved the place
Some days later
"You know, I like this place. Very calm and relaxed, maybe I should take K' and the rest here for some vacations someday." - Said Whip as she and Leona walked through the streets of Japan
"Yes, this place is very calm..." - Said Leon in a desinterested tone
"((Sigh) I forgot how hard it was to have a normal conversation with her, well at least is better than Ralf's awful jokes. Through I wish Commander Heidern had assigned me with lieutenant Still.)" - Thought Whip
Whip and Leona sit in a restaurant. Whip grabs a newspaper that was nearby
"What is this? Local business woman, Chizuru Kagura awakens this morning in Fountains near the Imperial Palace of Tokyo, some people believe the young owner of Kagura Enterprises could be experiencing some tipe of severe sleepwalking problems. Some reporters have tried to talk with Kagura as the other day she was caught sleeping in the rooftop of a factory. The woman has refused to talk about this and avoids any contact with cameras, some theories point that maybe she has become nuts." - Whip read the article of Chizuru that was close to another than mentioned the attacks
"Chizuru Kagura... That name sounds familiar. Maybe we should see her." - Leona
"You want to talk with a woman that has sleep problems? Leona, we are here to search for that strange creature not to solve sleepwalking problems." - Whip
"Trust me, I have a feeling she maybe can answer some of our questions." - Leona
"Are you kidding?" - Whip
"No." - Leona
"Alright, Leona. Let's see this woman. Hopefully this isn't a waste of time." - Whip
Chizuru's state
"Grr... What an awful day!" - Said Chizuru entering her house
"Good thing I'm back. Time to relax and prepare a good shower. Maybe I can finally get rid of the smell today, please?!" - Asked Chizuru looking at herself in the mirror
*Ding Dong*
"Who could be now?" - Chizuru went to the door to see who had arrived.
"Yes, who is it?" - Chizuru
"Hello, Ms. Kagura, right?" - Whip
"Yes is me, wait a moment! You're members of the Ikari Warriors isn't it?" - Said Chizuru remembering the Ikari Warriors
"We are indeed, we were wondering..." - Whip
"If you could answer us a pair of questions?" - Interrupted Leona
"(Sigh)... Of course, why I would expect you to want anything other than that." - Chizuru allowed Whip and Leona inside her mansion
The interrogation went normal.
"Again, what were you doing during the night yesterday?" - Whip
"I already told you that I was sleeping, I don't know how I awake up in a fountain!" - Chizuru
"Whip, stop this. She is telling the truth." - Leona
"And how do you know it?" - Whip
"Because if she knew anything I doubt she would have any reason to hide it from us, right Chizuru?" - Leona
"Ok, next question... *sniff*" - Whip´realizes there's a weird smell around the air
"What is that smell?" - Said Whip grabing her nose
"I don't know either?" - Said Leona realizing the strange smell coming from Chizuru
"Are you using some kind of perfume?" - Whip
"No, wait... Well yes is a perfume!" - Said Chizuru lying
"(I can't tell them about this succubus, the last thing I want is to call the attention of a group of mercenaries. I must answer their questions and finish this quickly!)" - Thought Chizuru
"A perfume..." - In that moment Leona starts coughing
"Leona?!" - Whip got worried about her partner
"Grrr..." - Leona starts spitting blood realizing she is entering the Riot of Blood state
"(Oh no! I have seen this before, this is... The Riot of Blood!)" - Thought Chizuru remembering the Riot of Blood state on Yagami.
"GRRRUAAGH!" - Leona's hair turned to a strange red rose color.
"Leona, stop!" - Whip yells at her partner, but before she can do anything, she starts to feel her body not responding.
"(I can't move! What is this fuzzy feeling?)" - Thought Whip as she was unable to move.
"Leona, I know what is happening with you. Listen, you're stronger than Orochi's will, don't let him dominate you!" - Chizuru tried to calm Leona as this one approached slowy to her.
Leona stopped in front of Chizuru and both looked in the eyes for some seconds. Leona's eyes had changed color as had her hair, with her irises turning red with snake pupils.
"..." - Chizuru
"..." - Leona
Suddenly Leona throwed herself to the priestess and grabed Chizuru's head as she started to kiss her on the lips
"(WHAT?!)" - Thought Chizuru as Leona's lips and hers made contact
"(I can't move my body... This can't be! This is just like when Jounetsu attacked me!)" - Said Chizuru remembering her fight against Jounetsu
"(Relax, lets be friends?)" - Chizuru remembered Jounetsu's words in her mind as her lips were still clashing with Leona's
"(Mmmmh, Ms. Kagura is kinda cute. No wonder Leona launched herself to her arms.)" - Suddenly Whip's thoughts became nothing more than strange dirty fantasies with Chizuru as she was being kissed by Leona while she felt paralyzed by the scene.
"AH!" - Whip started to remove her top vest, moaning as she touched herself in front of the strange scene for Chizuru but hot for Leona and her
"Leona! What are you doing?" - Chizuru said as Leona stopped the kiss
Leona in that moment grabed Chizuru for behind and started touching her body for the displeasure of the priestess
"Calm down, let's be friends, yes?" Said Leona in a sensual tone to Chizuru in her ear, triggering her memories with Jounetsu as Leona touched and squeezed one of the priestess's boobs with one of her free hands and...
"...What?!" - In that moment Leona's hair went from dark red rose to blue as she came out of her Riot of Blood state and regained control of herself as well as his eyes returned to normal too.
Leona walked away as she realized what she was doing to Chizuru, feeling a bit ashamed she looked at Chizuru who now managed to move.
"...I-I'm sorry. I...don't know...what happened to me." - Leona said timidly to Chizuru as this one just looked at her with fear.
"Whip, what... are you doing?" - Said Leona a little shocked and confused as she saw Whip touching herself.
"Huh? What happened? And why I'm like this?" - Said Whip returning to his senses and more than quickly covering her body as she realized she had removed her top vest.
"Ms. Kagura, please... excuse us. M-Maybe we can con..." - Whip tries to say still confused with what she ended up doing to herself, but she is interrupted by Chizuru, who was angry with the two.
"GET OUT MY HOUSE! Before I call the cops and present charges against you two for harrasment." - Said Chizuru angry at both soldiers feeling ashamed of what happened
"OK, ok. We will be going right now... But if you have any information, plea..." - Whip was interrupted by Chizuru who just closed the door on both Leona and Whip's faces
"... What the hell was that?" - Said Chizuru falling on her knees as she grabed her head totally confused
"(The last thing that happened before she kissed me was when she smelled this aroma that has been following me since I vanished Jounetsu...)" - Chizuru
"(The aroma! Maybe this is the reason why everyone who comes in contact with me acts like a complete pervert... I have tried to eliminate it with purification sessions but it didn't work... Maybe I should try something else?)" - Chizuru
"(I need to go! Hopefully his office is still open.)" - Chizuru went out of her house and got up on one of her bikes as racing was a small hobby for her
Dr. Katsu's office
"What's the results, Doctor?" - Said Chizuru worried to Dr. Katsu as he finished written her healt record files
"Well, Ms. Kagura. Although your body is sweaty and normal, there are three somewhat irregular things." - Dr. Katsu
"Three irregular things?!" - Chizuru
"There's high levels of Endorphin, Dopamine and Oxytocin in your body. Strange, certainly." - Dr. Katsu
"As you know Endorphins play a role in one's body inhibitory response to pain. The release of endorphin is also reponsible for producing a euphoric state in cases such as sex, orgasm and eating appetizing food like chocolate or sweets." - Dr. Katsu
"Dopamine is a organic chemical, in the brain dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter. A chemical released by neurons to send signals to other nerve cells. Normally dopamine is seen as the main chemical of pleasure." - Dr. Katsu
"Oxytocin, is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide. It is normally produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It plays a role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and the period after childbirth." - Dr. Katsu
"While your Dopamine and Endorphin levels were fluctuating in a constant and uncontrolled way, your Oxytocin levels are a little higher than the average. The same goes to your Progesterone and Estrogen levels in your ovaries, being slightly above average." - Dr. Katsu
"(I think I'm beginning to understand what is going on with me? The constant mood changes, the weird aroma, awakening in different places... It all makes sense but how did Jounetsu affected my health?)" - Chizuru
"(Wait a moment! The purple smoke cloud! Something in that purple smoke is affecting me.)" - Chizuru
"Hey, Ms. Kagura, are you listening?" - Said Dr. Katsu realizing Chizuru wasn't paying attention to him
"Ah, yes Dr. Katsu. I hear everything." - Chizuru
"Ms. Kagura, I have to ask something to yourself, are you a woman with a very active sexual life?" - Said Dr. Katsu serious
"No... My last boyfriend was a guy who tried to kill me to steal my properties." - Said Chizuru remembering her last relationship
"I see, sorry for the question. Listen, take this medicine for some weeks. This should help you relax and come back the next week to see how is everything going." - Dr. Katsu
"Sure... Thanks Dr. Katsu!" - Chizuru leaved the office
"(Mmmmh. Dr. Katsu is such a nice man, maybe I should invite him for a dinner in my house? I have the feeling we could make good chemistry together... In bed!)" - Said Chizuru blushing as she walked towards her bike grabing her shoulders
Later that night
Chizuru was sitted in front of the mirror, it was night time already but she didn't wanted to sleep
"(I have already take the medicine. Maybe if I don't sleep tonight I can understand better what happens to me and see if my theory is right?)" - Thought Chizuru looking at herself in the mirror of her bedroom
Chizuru stayed looking at the mirror until it was midnight when she suddenly started to felt a strange warm in her body
"(I mean what's the worse it could happen?)" - Chizuru
"(Everything is going to be fine!)" - Chizuru
"Hehehehe!" - Chizuru laughed in a nervious way
"EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE!" - Chizuru
"Huh? What is this fuzzy feeling?" - Said Chizuru a bit sleepy as she saw streaks of smoke coming from her hands
"(The aroma is getting stronger!)" - Chizuru realized the strange aroma was now in her entire room
"AH!" - Chizuru moaned feeling as if something was touching her
"(I... I feel excited! But why?)" - Chizuru started to touch herself slowy as she keep moaning
"AH! UH! Hehehe, this feels so good!" - Said Chizuru to herself as she keep pleasuring herself
"AH!" - Chizuru keep moaning as she was blushing
"OH!" - And Chizuru keep moaning
"AH! YES! YES! I feel less stressed now!" - Said Chizuru now having an orgasm
"AH! AH! AH!" - Chizuru took a deep breath feeling sleepy
In that moment Chizuru saw how her skin started to burn with smoke coming out of her
"Nothing bad is happening, everything is OK! Everything is OK!" - Chizuru
In that moment Chizuru's skin started to turn into a pale white tone, from her back two strange wings started to grow and she saw how her eyes started to be covered in a strange liquid making them turn red with dark pupils.
"(Hehehehe, I'm beautiful! No being in this planet could resist to me now, but this look is missing something?)" - Chizuru now turned into this strange creature keep looking herself at the mirror for some minutes
"(This feels better!)" - Chizuru grabed her priestess vest and used it with the bottoms openend showing her shoulders and cleavage
"(Pants? Who needs them, they just cover my beautiful legs!)" - Chizuru look was completed as she looked in the mirror one last time
"(I'm not yet completed but soon! Soon I'll be, now on to the night! Let us dance in the eternal moon of passion, mortals!)" - Said Chizuru as she opened the window of her bedroom and flyed to the eternal night.
The next morning
Chizuru slowy awakens inside a construction site
"(AH! NO, NOT AGAIN!)" - Said Chizuru grabing her head in pain
To Be Continued...
