Dark Covers All: Chapter 5
Shinku and Riddick quickly headed outside every one of the survivors seemed to not notice. Shinku looked at the children and noticed that Ali was missing. Shinku then remembered that he wanted to see what was inside in the core room so Shinku began to run to the Core Room. When she got there she noticed that door had been opened.
Shinku cautiously entered the room she noticed that Ali was touching what seemed to a control panel for something. Shinku walked over to him placing a hand on his shoulders as the top of the roof began to open up letting light come into the room. Ali jumped lightly before turning quickly to who it was. Ali relaxed now knowing that it was Shinku suddenly there was screeching coming from above them.
Shinku and Ali looked up and noticed that there were smaller versions of the creatures she killed back in the tunnel Zeke was dragged into. Ali screamed and was fixing to run into the darkness, but Shinku pulled him back into the light with her Shinku then pulled Ali don into a crouched position and used her body as a shield to keep the younger creatures from getting to him. Ali whimpered as the younger creatures seemed to circle around them.
Shinku then tried to think of some way to calm Ali down so she began to sing EVA (by Nightwish)
6:30 winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by another name
Eva leaves her swanbrook at home
A kindest heart which always made
Me ashamed of my own
She walks alone but not without her name
Shinku could tell that Ali was still frightened and the little creatures were still flying around seeing how they could get to them. So Shinku kept singing.
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her by her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world away
The good in her will be my sunflower field
Shinku could tell that Ali was calming down so she gripped him tighter and continued to sing.
Mocked by man to depths of shame
Little girl with life ahead
For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts
Time for one more daring to dream
Before her escape, edenbeam
We kill with her own loving heart
Shinku smiled as she let Ali up since the creatures went into a well of some sort. Shinku decided to look at it later she then went over to the wall and sat down leaning against it. Ali followed and sat in between her legs and leaned against her. Shinku smiled before finishing up her song.
Eva flies away
Dream the world far away
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far way
The good in her will be my sunflower field
Shinku smiled before closing her eyes suddenly she heard Imam, yell Ali's name. Shinku heard a gunshot and Imam running in.
"ALI!"
"Over here Imam." Shinku called to him. Imam turned to them and ran over to them Ali saw Imam so he also got up and ran in to Imam's arms. Shinku smiled before looking at the well that sat across from her. She was about to get up and go over there when she felt something begin to crawl up her shirt. It felt like needles pricking her back so she wound up tensing up.
Imam then came over to her said," Thank you Shinku for saving Ali's life. What wrong?"
"Your welcome and something is crawling up my shirt and it has claws." Shinku muttered soon Shinku felt it shift over to her stomach and began to crawl upwards. The other survivors including Riddick came over to what was the matter.
Shinku moved her hand toward her the top of her shirt once she lifted the top she could see that there was a little creature the same that was circling them like pray, but this one seem to be just born.
"Great." Shinku muttered.
"What is it?" Imam asked.
"I think I just became a mother in this little guy's eyes."
"What is it?" Johns asked clearly irritated.
"Why don't you come over here and look dumbass." Shinku growled at Johns. Riddick mentally shivered in pleasure at the sound of her voice growling at Johns.
As Johns came closer to Shinku reaching for her shirt when suddenly nothing, but a quick blur came from her shirt and jumped onto Johns face.
"AHH GET IT OFF!!" Johns yelled as her tripped backwards and fell to the floor rolling around trying to get the creature off. Shinku laughed as Johns continued to roll around on the ground. Riddick chuckled lightly at the humiliation Johns was getting from a small creature. The other survivors stared at Johns helplessly while Shinku finally wiped the tears from her eyes that began to form from her laughing hard.
Shinku then whistled and the creature instantly flew back to her and under her shirt this time it went to her shoulder and stuck its head out from the underneath the shoulder portion of her shirt and jacket. Shinku looked at it and smiled at it as it began to nuzzle her cheek. Shinku turned and kissed the top of its head before saying," Good boy."
The creature screeched in happiness for getting praise Riddick moved next to Shinku and crouched down next to her facing the creature. He then took off his goggles and looked at it with his shined eyes. The creature screeched and flew over to Riddick and landed in his shoulder nuzzling his cheek just as it did with Shinku's cheek. Riddick looked at it before Johns decided to say," I am going to kill that thing."
"You are not going to kill Ares." Shinku growled.
"Great now you named that damned thing. Okay why that name?"
"Cause Ares is the God of War."
"That thing ain't no War God."
"Yes he is. He went to war with you and by the looks of your face I say he won." Shinku snickered at Johns face that was covered with scratch marks.
"I like it. Not a bad name for this little guy after all he caused you your humiliation though I would have like to be one that done it." Riddick said smirking at Johns.
The creature screeched in agreement with its new name.
"Great now that thing has two wanted criminals for parents. On being the infamous Richard B. Riddick and the other the infamous Necro killer Shinku Setsugi. Lovely." Johns muttered in disgust.
Shinku was fixing to go punch Johns when Riddick stepped in front of her Shinku looked at Riddick in confusion, but she saw a Not-Now look in Riddick's eyes. Shinku then noticed that the newly named creature jumped from Riddick shoulder and back to Shinku's and hid under her coat shoulder to protect him self from the sun. Shinku then went over to the well where she saw the other little creatures go in.
Everyone else followed and looked into it Riddick however went down a little way to see inside better. John popped a green flare and dropped in to it.
"They all ran in here with the heaviest of doors thought that they would be safe inside, but they forgot to lock the cellar." Riddick explained to them before putting back on his goggles.
Shinku then looked around the building some more Shinku headed to the control panel while everyone else talked amongst themselves. Shinku pressed a button on the control panel when the back of it opened up and a sword covered with glass and was sheathed a dark red cover. Suddenly Shinku felt her sword on her back began to get hot before removing its self from her back and merging its self with the other one.
Shinku removed the sword from the glass cover before picking it up and placing it where her other sword used to be. Shinku told her self she would figure it out later. Shinku heard Ares screeching looking at him she noticed that the others were following Fry to another building. Shinku followed after as they entered the room Fry went to the model and started to turn it until they all saw that there was going to be a long eclipse.
"A total eclipse." Fry muttered.
"Not afraid of the dark are you?" Riddick asked mockingly. Everyone looked at him with a slight glare except for Shinku who was already heading out to start fixing that aircraft. Shinku figured she could patch up the plane where it needed to be. Shinku walked over to the aircraft and gently went inside. Shinku then took off her jacket placing it on the ground and signaled Ares to crawl inside. Ares did and snuggled into a ball and fell asleep.
Shinku covered him up with the remainder of her coat and gently placed Ares and her coat on one of the seats before turning to leave Shinku saw Riddick and noticed that the back was closed.
"You really are going to keep Ares?" Riddick asked.
"Yes I am. So what?"
Riddick then stepped closer until he was extremely close to Shinku.
"How exactly are planning on taking care of him?"
"I'll find a way Riddick."
Riddick growled before pulling her into a hot passionate kiss Shinku kissed back with equal passion. Riddick didn't understand what was wrong with his inner beast or himself for that matter, but every time he was around her his inner beast threaten to get out and find a secluded spot and taker her. Riddick pulled away to look at Shinku who's lips were swollen from there kiss.
"What the hell are you doing to me?" Riddick growled tangling his hand in her hair.
"I don't know. What am I doing Riddick?" Shinku replied.
"Neither do I. But what ever it is I am fixing to satisfy my hunger."
"Hunger?"
"Yes I am fixing to take you in this goddamn ship."
"You can try." Shinku said challengingly.
However before Riddick could answer the back of the aircraft opened up Fry then entered the air craft. Fry looked at Riddick to Shinku and back again.
"Is something the matter?" She asked.
"No." Shinku replied after she heard Riddick growled in response to her question. Shinku then said," I just wanted to leave Ares in here so he is not in the sun longer than necessary."
Fry nodded before heading to the control panels and started to check the systems. Shinku turned to leave, but Riddick grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his hard chest and purred," This isn't over I plan on doing what I wanted to very soon. I am going to make you mine and no one else's."
"Try." Shinku purred back before leaving the space craft and headed to see how every one was doing. Leaving Riddick on the space craft with Fry.
