Dark Covers All: Chapter 2:
When Shinku got out of the crashed aircraft and headed toward where Imam and his charges were. She could see Shazza and Zeke making what seemed to breathing contraption. Shazza looked up at Shinku and smiled as she handed one to her as Shazza turned back to the young boy.
The young boy looked at her and said," The name is Jack. Who are you?"
"Shinku Setsugi."
"So you're the one that killed 4 million Necros?" Jack looked at her with eyes shining with admiration. Shinku smiled and noticed that the boy was actually a girl because there was no Adam's apple.
Shinku nodded before Fry came and said," If we are going to head out to look for water than we need to go now before it gets dark."
"You might want to take look at this." A man said with thin rimmed glasses said as he came running over to them.
As they went to go look Fry noticed with disdain," Three suns."
"So much for the night." Shazza said.
"Well there goes my cock tail hour." The man with thin rimmed glasses said. That is when he noticed Shinku standing next to him.
" Paris . And you are?"
"Shinku Setsugi."
"Ah… The infamous woman with a large bounty on her head that killed 4 million Necros?"
"Yep that would be me." Shinku replied smiling at him before Shinku noticed that John came running out of the ship with a pissed of look on his face.
"What is it Johns?" Shinku asked.
"DAMMIT RIDDICK ESCAPED!!" Johns yelled.
"Great Riddick escaped." Paris said fearfully.
"Anyway we need to head out for water."
"I might have something."
"Well I'll head on ahead of you guys, while you sort this stuff out." Shinku said before turning to follow the blue sun.
"Wait we will go with you." Imam said walking up to Shinku. Shinku nodded and headed out with Imam following her along with his three students.
As they walked toward the sun Shinku pulled out some sunglasses that helped shield her eyes. After another few minutes Shinku noticed what seemed to be trees, but wasn't sure as they continued to approach Shinku then realized that they weren't. They seemed to be bones.
One of the boys seemed to have asked something Arabic.
"He asked what could have killed such great creatures."
"I am not sure about that, but we should keep moving. I think it is getting hotter so we should find some shade up further." Shinku stated looking at Imam as he nodded his head in agreement. As soon as they past the graveyard of bones Shinku noticed that the boys seemed to need a break.
"Let us rest a bit." Shinku said sitting near a rib cage of an animal. Shinku shut her eyes and began to fall asleep when she felt of if she was being watched. Shinku quickly turned around looked inside of the ribcage, but saw nothing Shinku then felt a hand on her shoulder. Shinku quickly pulled out a knife that was hidden in her belt and turned and placed the knife against the person's throat.
Shinku let out a sigh before removing the knife from Fry's throat.
"Sorry Fry. I didn't mean to. It's just that this place reminds me sort of how New Mecca was ten years ago when I annihilated most the Necromangers." Shinku said putting away the knife.
"It's alright. I am sure that you had a hard life."
"Yeah….* Flashback* Mom Dad I'm home….AAAH!!!....*End*"
"Shinku….Shinku…"
"Yeah I'm sorry I had zoned out there for a minute."
"It's alright Imam is calling you."
"Thanks Fry." Shinku replied as she walked past her and past Johns which was no surprise that he was there. Shinku brushed a hand through her hair that is when she noticed that a few strands of her hair were shorter than the others.
"Shinku."
"Yes Imam. What is it?"
"We are ready to head out. Alright then let me go get Fry and Johns." Shinku said heading where Shinku last saw Fry and where Johns was heading.
Shinku saw them in a conversation before calling out," Fry! Johns! We're ready to head out!"
"Alright." Fry replied getting up from the ground and running toward Shinku with John following. They all headed out toward what appeared to be an abandoned village. Imam and Shinku then noticed that there was a seemed to a machine in the center of it. Upon further examination Shinku realized that it was solar water well. Shinku then noticed that some of the wires where placed in the wrong spots.
"Imam I can fix this. Let me know if you get any water."
"Alright Shinku."
Shinku then began to fix the wires as soon as they were in their proper place Imam told her that the water was working.
Suddenly, Fry was running toward them yelling, "Hello New Mecca!!"
"What is it Fry?" Shinku asked while she was getting a drink.
"I found our way off this damn planet. The ship needs a few repairs, but they are fixable."
"That is great Fry. Let's go get the others." Shinku said happily. Fry, Imam, and the three students nodded in agreement.
"Come on Johns we're going to get the others." Fry yelled as soon as she did John ran up to us before taking the lead and we headed back toward the crash. We suddenly heard a gun shot and we all ran toward the crash site.
John got ahead of them and stood behind what seemed like a termite mound and waited. Shinku then noticed that Riddick was running toward them. Johns then tripped Riddick before he could even get a hit on Johns he pulled of his goggles and Riddick yelped in pain as the light hit his eyes. Soon Shazza was on next to him and began to kick him.
Shinku quickly ran toward her and pulled her away, but not before she delivered a knockout kick to him.
Shinku quickly pulled her away and growled, "Calm down NOW!!"
Shazza immediately calmed down.
"Now explain what happened."
"Jack and I were working on the ship when suddenly we heard Zeke scream and gun firing, but as soon as I pulled the tarp away he wasn't there and there was blood every where and when I looked up Riddick was there holding a weird looking weapon."
"Shazza did Riddick have any blood on him?" Shinku asked.
Shazza shook her head no and Shinku sighed before pulling her into a hug. Shazza soon began to cry on her shoulder. After she was done crying she looked at Shinku and said," He didn't do it did he?"
"No I afraid not, but I am going to get the bottom of this." Shinku said as soon as Shazza went to go talk with the others about Riddick's fate she decided to go talk to Riddick herself. As soon as Shinku snuck past the group and into the ship she noticed that Riddick was chained to the wall.
"Did you kill Zeke?" Shinku asked softly. When Riddick didn't answer Shinku sighed before turning to head back out.
"To answer your question no I didn't kill Zeke. You got the wrong killer."
Shinku then walked back toward Riddick and took a seat on the floor right across from him.
"Thought so. They are outside discussing what to do with you." Shinku replied.
"Why are not out there with them then?"
"I am not interested in listening to people blame you for any other crap."
"Why not after all I am a killer."
Shinku chuckled lightly," They really shouldn't because I am here."
"Really you think you can take me down little girl."
"I know I can considering the fact that I took down 4 million Necromongers. And some of them were twice your size." Shinku smirked.
Before Riddick could answer Fry came in and walked was standing next to Shinku. Fry looked and noticed Shinku on the ground.
"What are you doing here?" Fry asked.
"Trying to get to the bottom of this." Shinku replied before getting up. Fry nodded before asking Riddick," What did you hear? Johns said you said you heard something."
When Riddick didn't answer Fry turned to walk away before turning back and saying," And just so you know there is a debate right now on whether or not we should leave you here to die."
"You mean the whispers?" Riddick said softly.
"What whispers?"
"The ones telling me to go for the sweet spot, Left of the spine, fourth lumbar down. The abdominal aorta it has a metallic taste to it human blood. Coppery taste to it, but if you cut it with peppermint that goes away."
"You are going to shock me with the truth now?"
"All you people are so scared of me most of the time I would take that as a complement, but it ain't me you gotta worry about."
"Show me your eyes Riddick."
"You're going to have to come a lot closer than that."
Fry then started to inch closer to Riddick.
"Closer."
As soon as Fry got within a two feet from him Riddick got up near her face causing to step back from fright. Riddick's eyes had no pupils, but were shining orbs.
"So it is true than. You got the shine job." Shinku muttered lightly. This caused Riddick to turn his head toward Shinku and smirk.
"You know your stuff."
"Where the hell can I get eyes like that?" Someone asked all three of them looked to see Jack standing there.
"You gotta kill a few people." Riddick replied.
"I can do that."
"Then you gotta get sent to Slam,"
"Where they tell you that you will never see daylight again." Shinku said causing both Jack and Riddick to look at her.
Shinku looked Riddick in the eyes waiting for him to continue.
"And you gotta dig up a doctor and pay him 20 menthol Kool to do a surgical shine job on your eyes."
"Then you can see in the dark?" Jack asked happily.
"Exactly" Riddick replied smiling slightly.
"Leave." Fry growled. Causing both Jack and Riddick to look at her.
"Leave." Fry repeated in a softer tone. Jack then left the room.
"Cute Kid. Did I kill a few people? Yeah. Did I kill Zeke? No. You got the wrong killer."
"We looked in the hole."
"Look deeper."
Fry then turned to leave and Shinku was following her when she heard Riddick say," Before you go little girl tell me something."
"The name's Shinku Setsugi and what Riddick?" Shinku growled at him.
Riddick chuckled before asking," How did you know about the shine jobs?"
"Thought of getting it done, but then I realized something."
"And what might be?"
Shinku then appeared in front of Riddick and bent over to where she was next to his ear and replied," Why should I need to in the dark when I am the dark?" Then Shinku stood straight and left, but not before hearing Riddick growl in frustration.
