Chapter 8: Case 1; London ripper
Part 1: The Invitation
1888 London: Kyoko
Kyoko looked at the book and wondered what it was what she saw. She was surprised and confused. She had thrown the book to the other end of the room and just watched it to make sure it wasn't going to move. She slid to the ground and stopped her heart. She was blushing she couldn't even believe what she had seen. She wondered for what purpose it severed. She took deep breaths and then she held herself was there more and if there was how was she to avoid them? She wondered.
Sanctuary
"AAAAAAAAhHHHHHHHHHHH!" what is this? Yelled a demon that was sitting at the computer.
"Huh, what's wrong? What are you looking at?" asked the second demon
"Hey, stop slacking off and get back to work, we don't have time for…" said a demon who stopped and dropped the box of chains on the ground.
"How could this have happened!" yelled one of them."
"A purple demon sighs and placed a box with huge locks on the ground and came towards the small group of demons who seemed to have gone pale. The purple demon swiped her hand in front of them but they didn't move. The purple demon looked at the screen and only looked. More demons came and they froze on sigh.
"Hurry please; we have to heal them fast. Hurry," said another demon.
"Where are they?" asked a demon dressed as a paramedics.
The paramedic doctor was shocked and called for more ambulances to come. There were about 50 ambulances that were taking the other demons and putting them on stretchers and taking them to the demon hospital. The purple demon sighs and took a seat form where the other demon was sitting before it had left for the hospital. One of the paramedics fainted at the sight on the computer and he was taken to the hospital too. The purple demon sighs and typed a few buttons and then the screen turned to mahjong.
"Where's everyone else?" asked another demon.
"They went to the hospital."
"The hospital? Why is there a sickness going around. Wait did 'they" escape? Asked the other demon
"Huh, no just this.
The purple demon brought up the file and the demon sigh.
"I should have guessed."
"You've seen this kind of thing before?" asked the purple demon."
"Countless, in my previous job."
And what was that?"
"Hmm you don't want to know. Any way I guess you have to work over time."
"Am I gonna get paid for it?" the purple demon asked.
"Hahahahahahaha, you kidding me. No now get back to work." Said the demon.
The purple demon sighs and exited out of the screen and went to work on to other things.
"Sigh, what did I do, to get this job without pay. I might just go back to the conscious. At least there it was fun. Also the partying wasn't bad either sigh. I need a drink." Said the purple demon.
Back to Kyoko
A few hours later
Kyoko after her trauma event she fell asleep against a corner when the door opens. She awoke and she saw two men in the room.
"I see your doing nothing as usual kid. Anyway where is your sis?" he asked.
"Huh, out in the alleys somewhere." She said.
"Ah, same old them. Anyway this is Jin he's the guy I've been telling you about. Get out the maps." He said.
Kyoko stood up and yawned as she went to a part of the wall and removed a few bricks and brought out a few maps. It was laid on the floor and they kneeled down. The man looked at the aps and smiled.
"You did good work kid. All the blue prints are here?"
"Yeah, I made sure to get all of it written down"
"All right Jin now this is the layout of the crow's estate where they have a lot of valuables. Btu you're not going for that but the jewel the countess of luck carry's around her neck.
"Why that?" Jin asked.
The man took out a picture of the necklace and smiled.
"I'm not the one who wants it. Also it was asked that your reason with a bloke. That's basically what you're getting paid for Jin. Nothing else.
"Hmm I see." Jin said.
"The boy will be a decoy, use him how you wish." Said the man.
"All right." Jin said.
"One more thing Jin, its best you do your job right the first time, there is no second time." The man said.
"Understood."
The man left and there was only Jin. Jin took a seat on what appeared to be a bed and looked at the boy.
"How did you get these blue prints?"
"Ah….." she didn't know how to respond.
Ren looked around the room and froze when he noticed the book which jinx normally carried around with her.
"Where did you get that?" he asked.
Kyoko looked at him and she picked up the book and held it close to her chest.
"This is mine." She said.
"Yours. How do you have this?" Jin asked.
"Who are you?"
" Ren Tsuruga, I need to know how you came into possession of it."
"But that man said your name was Jin." She said.
"It's not. I need to know." Ren said
"I don't know….I was in the restaurant when all of a sudden and earthquake or something hit and then I can't remember much of what happened. Somehow I ended up in this tie line and as Lenn."
"You're the girl who was mistakenly brought here. I thought I wouldn't be able to find you." He said relieved.
He came and graved her but stopped as they both felt a shock course through their bodies. Kyoko looked at his and was somewhat scared of the man. Yes he was good looking, but she barely knew him.
"I came to bring you back to your time. We have to get back before any more of the time frame gets messed up."
"How?" she asked.
"The book should be able to bring us back."
Ren opened the book and flipped the pages and sigh, inside there was a note.
Dear: Ren
If your reading this, that must mean you can receive messages. I forgot to tell you something very important. The only way to be able to jump to the next time frame is to find the jack o' lanterns which are scattered within each time frame. Once you find it you'll know what to do. Also one more thing to remember, the 200 days and you down one day. 199 days to go. Good luck. ^_^
Ren sigh and then closed the book.
"There seems to be a problem." He said.
"A problem?"
"Yes, we can't go just yet."
"What? But why not?" asked Kyoko.
"We have to find something first. Once we find it then we can return home. For now we should rest." He said.
"But."
"We'll talk in the morning.
Ren got off the bed and sat on the ground. Kyoko lay on the bed but watched Ren, she felt sorry for him, she couldn't explain why but she did.
The next morning
Kyoko went to get breakfast and she brought it to the small room. Ren awoke to the smell of breakfast and thanked her. They said nothing to each other. Kyoko didn't know why but she found the man called Ren, interesting and yet there was something that was telling her to stay away from him. She was going to run away he could be a murderer or something she thought.
"I'm not going to hurt you." He said.
"W, what I didn't say anything" she said scared.
How did he know what I was thinking? She thought to herself.
At the reception hall where the ball was to be held.
Druitt looked at Christopher South Knight and would have stabbed him right there and then had it not been for the countess of luck who was asking for his opinion. He always hated Christopher and just wanted to rip his organs out. He had done it before too much more easier targets, but the man was a ghost.
"Druitt, are you going to help or not?" asked his wife.
"Yes dear of course." He said.
He hated his wife as well and his family all together. He would get rid of them soon but first was first. Christopher South Knight was going to be dead in only a matter of minutes. He smiled and went to help out with what he could.
Christopher sigh as he finished and took a seat with Druitt and old friend form some party or other. Still Christopher liked to speak to the man, he was more on a suicide path but he was used to that type of talk. His sister was ill and she needed medicine. So he was used to the craziness. People considered the friendship they had was an ill omen. Still Christopher thought of Lenn the whole day after he had met him. He was confused as to why but the boys brown eyes had caught his attention. He would go see the boy, he needed to see the boy.
Two hours later
Christopher arrived to the brothel and smiled at the women who greeted him with warmth. Druitt was by his side and he smiled. The women of the brothel wanted money nothing else. Mary his sister stood there smiling.
"Ah master you came for a visit. Could I help you in anything." She asked.
She came close to him and she smelled of beer and whiskey. He smiled and then looked at her.
"I need to speak to your brother Lenn, would it be possible to speak to him?" he said.
"He's out back." She said going over to Druitt who smiled.
Christopher walked to the back and saw Lenn picking up kindling and placing it in a pile. He stopped when he noticed another and helping as well. He smiled and went towards the two.
Kyoko sigh as she placed the small bundle she had and sigh once again. She turned around and she noticed the man she had first met when she had arrived. Ren looked at the man and stood in front of her. He came closer and smiled.
"Lenn, I' glad I could find you…..is this a friend?"
"I'm his guardian what do you want with him." Ren asked.
Ren was on edge, he wasn't sure as to why but he didn't like the man.
"Christopher, right. Thank you for last time I don't know how to repay you." She said.
"Would it be all right if I spoke to you for a bit."
"Speak to him right here."
"I would prefer it be private." He said smiling.
"It's okay Jin." Kyoko said.
"I don't think it's a good idea."
"It will only be a minute." Chris said.
Kyoko smiled and followed Chris, she could feel something wrong but she wasn't sure if it was coming from Jin or Chris. Still she was cautious, she stayed where Ren could see her.
"I'm glad you're doing okay.
"Thank you, but what is it you came to speak to me about?" she asked.
"Hmm, oh yes I wanted to invite you to tonight's ball with countess luck."
"A ball, but I don't think I'll be welcomed there.
"Now, now, don't worry once you arrive I will make sure there is proper clothes for yourself and….. Your guardian. A carriage will come to pick you up at 6 sharp." He said.
He took out an envelope and placed it in her hands. She looked at him and tried to give it back but he refused and only smiled,
"I'll see you there." He said.
He turned and walked away. Ren watched as the man left he was nothing good. He needed to finish the job fast and get them out fast. He sighs and noticed Kyoko continued to look from where the man had stood.
Kyoko looked at the letter it was strange she had no idea why but she was scared of something. Ren came towards her and smiled his gentlemanly smile. She froze and stared straight not wanting to look at Ren.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
Y, yes I ah…should get back to…uh work' she said.
She ran back to her duties. Ren sigh and looked at the letter on the ground. He picked it up and put it in his pocket. He went back to finish off his work.
Christopher walked the dark alleys and smiled he was going to be able to see Lenn. He liked the young lad and was going to ask him to come and work for him. Someone grabbed his shirt and slammed him towards the wall. H looked and there stood a guy with short blond hair and black eyes, he smiled and held a blade to Christopher's neck. Christopher looked at the man and noticed he had a necklace with a jack o lantern on it.
"Can I help you with something?"
"Who are you" asked the man?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Christopher said.
"The boy is to be left alone. So you understand."
"Mister there are so many boys in this place who is it you speak of?"
"Stop acting stupid you know who I mean." He said
He slammed Christopher against the wall once again.
"What is it you want?" he said.
"Leave the boy alone or I won't say what can happen to you." He said smiling.
"Now, now sir if you're in love with the boy that is your business…" Christopher said.
The man punched him in the face and sigh. Christopher looked at the man and felt something cold still he sighs and rubbed his check.
" I'm being nice." He said.
"Nice huh. Fine, fine I'll stay away from the boy now go." Christopher said.
"It was nice meeting you sir." He said smiling.
The man left and Christopher smiled.
"This game just got a little bit more interesting, don't you think Druitt?" he said as he stood up."
