Ran sat in his room looking at videos on his phone when he heard scuttling approaching him. "Fiora?" He looked up knowing that sound all too well now. Looking up at him wide eyed was the small spiderling he had met a little over a year ago. The child having basically claimed him as her father, and refusing to leave. The spider child held up a box of cereal. "Food?" She asked cutely, being hungry and unsure how to eat the cereal.
Ran sighed, laughing softly and grabbed the box. "I'll show you how to use it. Though, how did you get it, I had it on the high shelf?" He looked at her. "I climb wall." She smiled. 'Of course, being a spider...' He realized. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl. Poured some cereal in it, then poured some milk over it. "There. Now you use a spoon to eat it." He grabbed a spoon and showed her. "Thank you!" She grabbed the bowl and spoon to eat.
"I saw a snake last night." The spider suddenly said. Ran looked at her. "On the TV, or?" He questioned. "Outside window. It blue with red eyes. It cute snake. It slither off though after it saw me." Fiora explained. Ran's eyes widened. He knew that snake well. Hadn't seen it in a long time. But knew, it was his ghoulish baby brother.
"Kid, if you see it again, call for me. Even if I am asleep, wake me up." Ran said firmly. Worried why Aoba was lurking around his place. And even more worried that the ghoul has now seen Fiora. "Oh, okay." Fiora said finishing her cereal. "I got work to do. You stay here, and stay in my room away from the window. If someone sees you, they will freak out." Ran said grabbing his scarf and hammer. Fiora looked at him.
"Bye daddy!" She said with a bright smile causing Ran to pause. "Daddy!?" He looked at her. "You like a daddy to me. " She tilted her head innocently. Ran sighed. Being a spider's daddy, what has his life come to. Though, it was better than when she tried calling him her human and master. Shaking his head, he left the spider child home. Fiora grabbed a blanket and crawled into his bed covering herself to sleep.
Ran went to see the Blue Squares and check on them. They had been busy dealing with some of the Yellow Scarves lately. The newest leader of the Scarves was wilder than Masaomi. More reckless, and violent. Ran never thought he would actually miss Masaomi, but in a way. He was now. Cause at least the kid was a better leader of his gang, preventing them from attacking every time they saw a Blue Square.
He walked by a back alley and looked at it. The alley Masaomi died in. The Blue Square leader wondered why Deadwolv targeted the Yellow Scarf. Most assumed the killer was a demon or punisher of sorts. And all his victims were criminals. But if that was the case, why has he not ever targeted Ran? Or any of the Blue Squares? As he was about to leave, he saw a figure in the alley. Narrowing his eyes he recognized it as Saki. The girl was placing some flowers down. Probably still mourning the loss of her boyfriend.
'Girl better be careful. I hear that Masaomi became an Onyro and haunts that alley. If he is an Onryo, he may attack anyone who gets too close to his alley.' Ran figured going to the Blue Squares hideout. As he was walking away, he heard a female scream. Turning back, he saw she wasn't there now. At least not in view. 'Shit, did he kill his own girl?' Ran wondered, debating to get closer and see the attack. But figured his own safety was more important than seeing some girl getting killed by an angry ghost.
