Chapter 2: The Night.
"Tas'kete(help)! Tas'kete!" A woman's voice carried on the wind, shrilled and panicked.
The Doctor jumped up and ran outside. Taro stood on the front steps of Naruto and lanced warily around as the Doctor took off in a hasty sprint toward the direction of the scream. Pulling open a door, he stepped inside to see a huge bull-like monster, blood dripping from its jaw and flesh rotting on its jutting teeth, tear a long line of flesh from the helpless woman. The Doctor stepped forward, but his shoe made the boards squeak. The monster turned, hissed, and quickly fled out of an open side window. Knowing it unwise to chase after it, the Doctor instead looked at the half-eaten woman and groaned inwardly.
Donna burst in at this time, Taro close behind her. She gasped while Taro said an ancient chant to rid the house of evil spirits.
"Come." Taro said forlornly, "She will be buried in the morning."
The Doctor stared at the body of the young woman and muttered to Taro, "I will be there soon. Donna, go back to sleep."
Donna grimaced, but she somewhat obediently followed Taro back to his shop. An hour or so later Taro came up to the Doctor.
"Dozo, come. It is the Hour of the Tiger (3am-5am)." Taro said, gently taking hold of the Doctor's arm.
The Doctor stood up before quietly following behind Taro, thinking the whole time on where he had seen such a creature before.
"What could it be?" He mumbled to himself after he had gone back to his mat. The night stayed eerily quiet as he once again began to gaze at the ceiling in deep thought.
Sorry this chapter is so short compared to the first, maybe I can extend chapter three into a longer chapter. Please read and review.
