Welcome back! A bad hunch comes to Celty as she feels the children have encountered Shizuo in a way. Since the scenes somehow replicate the last time, she suspects the two weird boys for the certain phenomenon. What will happen to the blond man… with the other child with him? (PS. Hey, those creatures are purely fictional. If ever they aren't, they must come by with another name. OAO) (PPS. I really think I'm breaching the M Rating. TAT)

Celty Kishitani is a girl hailed from a family of mad scientists who like experimenting with the supernatural creatures. That night, her parents have left her alone during Halloween… not knowing the ill-fated event to happen to their adopted child.
Shizuo Heiwajima is a boy from the family where the Kishitanis are heavily indebted. Having him marry their beautiful daughter seems to be a way of solving the financial crisis encountered by both families. He has accompanied Celty that night… only to hear her whimper about two weird children.
The two children who seem inhuman attack again just when Koriyama attempted to rape and slay the young Kishitani. However, their unlikely heroism has paved way to another attack… with Shizuo's life on the line. Celty knows he's in grave trouble and she must do something for her fiancé.
With the two children getting way involved in their lives, is it time for her to find out what they really are? Is she capable of saving the guy from them?

You belong to me… and no one can ever change that, my Verlieben…
…
Wild dread covers the woman as her mother broke the news to her. Her body trembles not because of jealousy and the pain of betrayal… yet the anxiety of having her fiancé killed by those non-human creatures. Celty attempts to get up but she feels pain resonating around her legs. She pulls on the covers and sees her legs embraced by multiple bruises… must be from the attempt last night.
Right… how did she even get home if she passed out at the park?
"Mama, how did I get home?" Celty asks her mother in digression of the juicy gossip. Emillia twitches and then she hums, "That's the point. Shizuo-kun dropped you off last night. He said he found you unconscious at the park. He carried you all the way home and… he is oddly worried about you. Actually, that sudden behavior of his creeps me out. And his mother even talked about… he took you to their house instead."
"Oh, my God…" Celty suddenly covers her face with a hand and struggles to run off somewhere, "Tou-sama!"
The two women end up at the lounge where Shingen is watching terebi… terribly annoyed by the shrill cry, "What is it, Celty? Can't you see I'm—?" The girl lunges herself at the sofa in pain of running and then she sits up straight with her parents' help. She then grabs her father's shoulder, "Tou-sama! I need to ask you something!"
"Stop yelling. I can hear you clearly."
The girl then begins to hesitate and hold back what she needs to say… thinking that her father would not believe her and say she's just dreaming for reading too much of his stuff. But then she decides to gamble her parents' trust and confidence in her sanity, "Tou-sama, last Halloween, two weird children in long hoods came in our doorstep. They sounded creepy and weird for their age… one even said he wants to be with me."
Her parents listen though… the expression in Shingen's face begins to change.
"Then later, Momo, the neighbors' dog ended up dead at our front yard. Kota-kun said he saw me killing the dog… but I was inside after the children came and… Momo was still alive by then." Celty becomes to get teary-eyed, "Then last night, Koriyama-san attacked me by the park. They came and… and they killed him! I think… I think they are capable of changing forms and… and… and they are killing things! Tell me Shizuo's going to be fine!"
The father looks at the bewildered mother's face and then Emillia asks, "Shingen-chan, don't these things sound familiar to you?" Instead of answering, Shingen, the father, gets up from his seat and goes to his room. Soon, he comes back with a book and some files at hand. He sits down and then he hands the files to Celty and the women see that those are about missing people with psychological problems. He then opens the book at a page and shows the two…
"It does sound familiar. I think you, Celty, have taken the interest of an otherworldly creature called… a Humon."

Chapter 2: Knowing Them
…
"A Humon?" Celty echoes and then Shingen speaks seriously, "They are creatures that resemble a homunculus but they live off by consuming souls like other evil spirits do. They are able to materialize and change into humans if they desire to. A Humon lives longer by either killing other live creatures to consume soul or feed off from a host they call a Verlieben. A Verlieben, however… turns into something else rather than being a normal person."
"So these children are…" Emillia whispers and then Shingen yawns, completely altering the scene, "I still don't know if they are the same Humons back in Europe but… I'm pretty sure I'll be able to know more if—!" He then grabs Celty's shoulder tightly, "I can catch them." He then swirls around— being drunk in grandeur, "Then my researches about Humons will be very much completed! And I can also study their interaction methods with other Humons— since there are TWO of them!"
Celty twitches and then Emillia giggles as he continues to dance in his ridiculous excitement, "At last! My biggest research!"
"W-Wait! Are you saying you're… you're going to use me to lure them?!" Celty shrieks and then Emillia holds her down, "Oh, my, Celty. Trust me… you're not mistaken." The girl then screams, "But they're killing people! Aren't you—?"
"First, we should find Shizuo-kun. Whether he's dead or not, he might tell us something if he really got kidnapped by one."
"Should we go and track his car down, now?" The mother gets up and then the father strokes at his chin, "Yes, he should be parking somewhere." Emillia then twitches, "Now I know what sounded weird when he said he carried you home from the park!"
"…" Celty freezes in such a reaction from her parents. She knew they are insane and mad… but even to the extent of sacrificing a human life just for their researches? She begins to have tears running down her cheeks and then she suddenly screams in so much anger.
"YOU'RE MONSTERS!"
After that, she runs out of their house— the killing feeling of emotional pain made the bruises on her legs numb. She continues running around the subdivision barefooted and she doesn't care if she has class to adapt to.
She might not love the man but Shizuo is the closest friend she had. Without speaking of her parents' behavior, he knew of her suffering. She is also the only one who listens to his overt rumblings about his parents. They are very much similar… only to have him as the other bait for the monsters Shingen has been hunting for.
"Argh!" Celty's legs finally give up and she falls down to the concrete road. Not much cars roam the streets along their subdivision by that time… none could have run over her in her state. She slowly rises and notices that there are some cuts as well… and they have been bleeding when she went. Celty sits at the concrete road and then she continues crying without anyone to see her…
Or so she thought.
"Kishitani-san." She twitches and then she clears as she recognizes the voice. She then turns to a direction… with nothing but horror embracing her eyes. Kota is standing before her with the dead Shiro-chan snuggled by his wee arms. The boy walks nearer and then she shakes her head, "No, Kota-kun! I didn't kill Momo! I swear!"
"…" The boy then smiles only to throw away the dog, "I know. It's 'him' who did it." The woman twitches and then the boy prances towards her, "What happened to you, Kishitani-san? You're bleeding. You're crying." The boy's eyes and aura begin to dim, "Did someone hurt you?"
"No! Get away from me!" Celty screams and then she looks around— only to remember something. She then bravely screams at the Humon, "Shizuo! Where did you take Shizuo?! Answer me!" She then stands up— enduring the pain, "Where did you—?" She suddenly falls over… but arms of a grown man catch her from falling. Celty looks up and she sees Shizuo standing in front of her…
"You won't need anyone else if you come with me. I'll be your best friend, your lover, your brother, your dad… everyone you need… I will be everyone you need." Her eyes grow wide and then the Humon smiles kindly, "Let's go, Celty…"

He swears he has open his eyes but the darkness hasn't changed a bit. He blinks yet again… now accompanied by a loud breath. He then tries to move his arms… yet he feels chains holding him down. The man sighs yet again and then he moves some more as to get those off of him— the chains clanging wildly, "FUCK! WHY AM I CHAINED?!"
The man pants and wheezes as he tries to get it off some more… now moving his also chained legs. His wrists and ankles begin to sore yet he keeps on destroying the metal embracing them. Then a hand gets to hold a thigh to push it down. The man gasps and then a bright light comes to sight— temporarily blinding the man.
"Oh, you've awakened." A soft voice of a lady speaks and then the man looks back at her already lit face… Celty smiling deviously at him, "Shizuo."
"Celty? What are you doing?" Shizuo whispers and then the girl mounts on him… sitting at his groin. The girl sways the candle she's holding to check out the man's face, neck and wrists, "You've tried so hard. Don't you like how it feels? The pain?"
"…? Are you some kind of sadomasochist?"
"Sad… what?" The girl drops her head to the side and then she smiles again, "I don't know that." She then runs her free hand at his chest and then she places the candle between his teeth, "Don't move or it'll fall and burn you." Shizuo then tries to speak while gnashing his teeth in madness. The girl twitches and then she lunges at him… a wild neckline showing a small cleavage, "Don't bite it either too hard… the candle will break."
She pulls back and the man realizes that she is wearing some kind of thin dress… and she seems to be not wearing anything underneath. The man starts struggling again, nonetheless. 'I should get out of here. I thought she's not totally sick like her parents!'
"Hey~! Why do you keep on racking the bed~?" She then chuckles as if getting tickled, "Are you trying to feel 'me'~? I can give it, you know?"
The man stops… his eyes staring straight at the woman's. 'Wait… even her speech patterns have changed. Is this… is this really Celty?'
The girl then claps and then a knife appears in her palm… which she uses to pop the guy's clothes open. The man has his eyes wide as she cuts his clothes apart to reveal his chest and abdomen… the woman licking her lips, "As expected." She then draws a line at his chest with the knife… only to lick the blood coming out from it.
"Ahh, blood~ so warm…" She then begins sucking at the wound… even having her hips moving in pleasure. The man cannot help but to blush… and then he tries his best to make the candle reach his hand. The wax drips on his palm and then he inwardly screams in pain. He continues to push it until he gets to grab the end of the candle even if the fire blows on his hand. He then holds it away from his mouth… enduring the pain of the dripping wax.
"Who are you? Why do you have Celty's phone? Why do you look like Celty?" The man speaks as he tries to calm down… the woman can easily kill him with that blade in her hand. The woman stops sucking and then she smirks at him, "You should have noticed that before coming with me." She then gets up and then she opens her dress… baring skin in front of the man, "I don't really like women's apparel. Bras are constricting and panties are too uncomfortable…"
"Who are you?" Shizuo repeats and then she runs her hands on his chest, "I'm still thinking if I should answer or not. You see, it'll be worthless if you're dead after all." The man gulps and then he speaks, "So you're planning to kill me?"
"Quiet, I'm thinking."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care what happens anyway." Shizuo sighs and then he says, "I'm tired after all." The girl stares at him and then she gets near, "Are you using reverse psychology on me?" The man chuckles and then he makes another deep breath, "If you are able to copy Celty's knowledge on me… then you should know that's true."
"…" The woman falls into silence and then she moves a bit… to strip him down some more. The man blushes and then he closes his eyes, "Argh, dammit." 'Celty' runs her knife at his length gently and then she speaks, "Is blood in your chest same down here? I haven't eaten this part of a man anyway."
"It's warmer. Wanna try?"
The girl looks back at him and then he looks down, "What?" She then lines the knife under it… the man yelling, "Oi! Don't even dare cutting it off, you bitch!" The woman hums and then she pouts, "I thought you have calmed down…"
"But you're doing something else rather than cutting me!"
"…I'm kind'a starting to grow a liking to you. I guess I should tell you after all." The woman speaks as she sits up… morphing back into his child form. The man gasps loudly and then the child takes off his hood… revealing an oddly-colored bald head and hollow eye sockets, "We don't have names. We're just creatures from Hell. Someone broke the seal in Europe and then we end up here in Japan."
The child speaks as he crawls nearer the man still with the knife at hand, "We eat souls to survive. As for me, I tend to eat the flesh, too, if I like my food. As for you, you look so tasty so expect to only have bones for your funeral. Ahh, no, I changed my mind. I'll eat the all of you and you'll be listed missing instead." The boy licks his lips with a long snake tongue as he claps enthusiastically, "Yes! Yes! I like that! I like that!"
"So you gon'na kill me now? So you gon'na kill me now?" Shizuo speaks as if playing the pun game the boy is doing. The boy is not offended, though. He comes closer and then he holds the guy's shoulders, "Let me start from the inside then." Shizuo twitches and then he speaks, "Why don't you just free me first?" The boy laughs out and then he starts to poke at the guy's face, "Later, later. When you keep on bleeding… to make sure you're not going anywhere."
"…Fuck." Shizuo whispers and then the boy starts licking the blond's lips. Soon, he kisses the guy and the man responds… starting to make out with a monster. The human's tongue brushes through the boy's sharp and slender teeth… knowing that he will surely die if the boy bites him. The boy then pulls back— the man twitching inside.
The boy then forces his pointers inside the guy's mouth… forcing the mouth to open. Shizuo then takes a deep breath… the boy drips his tongue inside probably to start ravaging the organs within. The guy then begins to twitch wildly as blood flows out his mouth— the chains clanging vigorously once again. The boy's tongue then begins to turn red… sucking blood within the body.
CRASH! The boy twitches and then the guy suddenly regains consciousness as bright light shines on them. The warehouse where they are is suddenly blessed with light as the double doors get opened. The boy sits up yet his tongue is still inside, "Huh? Why are you disturbing me?"
It is the other child with Celty behind him. The woman then screams, "Shizuo! Get away from him!" She then runs to the boy who suddenly slurps in his own red tongue. He then rolls off the improvised bed… vanishing from the sight. The other child then leaves without another word as Celty reaches her bleeding fiancé. She then touches his face, "Shizuo! What have they done to you?!"
"Let's talk later…" Shizuo coughs out some blood… "Give me my clothes first."
"Huh? Why—?" Loud gasp. "Quit staring!"

"You should be fine in three weeks. Refrain from eating hard food for now." The doctor speaks with Shizuo and Celty since she has rushed the guy to the hospital, "Your esophagus has been badly damaged… are you sure you didn't eat anything weird?" The two shake their heads and then the doctor hums, "Well, anyway, just remember all my reminders and you'll be fine."
The man leaves the room and then Celty speaks, "I'm glad nothing bad happened to you." The guy chuckles lightly, "Either way, I don't really care." The woman twitches and then she frowns at him, "You don't care if you die or something? A monster will eat you alive…"
"…I know but it's just that… maybe he just wanted to live more than I do. I'll just give him my life then. They eat to survive… they don't need to survive if they don't need to live for something." Shizuo hums as he looks away from Celty, "He said they are creatures from Hell. I wonder what kind of creatures they are…"
"You're starting to become like Tou-sama." Celty sighs and then Shizuo looks at her. She continues, "Tou-sama is not just a doctor. He has this obsession in researching about creatures like those. He said they are called Humons. They either eat souls or extract soul from a host." Shizuo listens through… though he doubts Celty's word about her own father.
"He said he wanted to catch them… even in expense of our lives, you and me, Shizuo."
"Then we should find them first. I want to talk to that child about something—!" Shizuo chuckles and then he feels pain threading his veins, "Ouw." The girl looks at him and then she stares longer at the floor… 'Is life really that invaluable?'
Hours earlier…
"Let's go, Celty…"
The fraud Shizuo waits for her answer but then Celty pulls back… "No… I don't want to die. I don't want Shizuo to die either."
"You're not going to die." He chuckles helplessly… his dim aura turns into a bright one, "The only thing you need to do is… is… to take care of me, Celty." He then clasps his hands together and walks a step nearer, "You see, no one has ever taken care of me! Please take care of me, Celty!"
"…Help me save Shizuo… but we must bury the dog first."
The fraud Shizuo grins from ear to ear and then he goes to pick up the dog, "Where should we put Shiro-chan then?"
They stealthily walk to the park from the other side where the police line is not covering. They dig up a grave for the dog… the monster child producing items from nowhere. Celty offers a prayer to the dog as well as the child… who recites the prayer out loud.
"Shiro-chan, I'm sorry for the mess 'he' did. If only 'he' didn't kill Momo, then you don't have to deal with a stupid brat like Kota. I also want you to go to the place they call Heaven. Hell is a horrible place. Believe me, I've seen it myself. The food stinks and there's nothing else to have fun with. They say Heaven is a paradise so probably you can play there as much as you like."
Celty stares at the Shizuo who speaks like a kid… her eyes bearing the dismay that this child with that thinking is a monster in reality. He continues to speak, "But don't invite me to Heaven. Bad guys are not allowed in there. I have done a lot of bad things so I can't go. I wish Celty can take care of me so I will become a good boy, too. She agreed to take care of me… so wait for me there, okay?"
But all of a sudden everything has changed. "I'm really sorry for hitting you with a bat until you died. The pain Kota felt when Momo-tan died deserved such a brat like him. So I decided to punish him more by killing you while I was in his mother's form. I'm really sorry for using you."
"You killed Shiro-chan?" Celty whispers with a trembling voice and then the guy turns to her, "I did. He was such a good dog but Kota ignores him because of Momo. So I did him a favor." The child smiles as well, "I killed Kota, too… because he said he doesn't want that dog anyway so it's okay for it to die. To be honest, I want Shiro-chan for myself. Anyway, shall we get going, Celty? I now know where your boyfriend is."
