Halo Six: Angels:

-Junko-

Junko sat back in her chair and stared at the ceiling.

"We need more meat," she complained. The nurse looked around at the angels hissing and scratching at the bars. Yui and Naoki stood, nervously. Their boss eyed the female intern in a cold way.

"Have you destroyed all of those dolls yet?" she asked.

"No," Yui said, shaking her head. Junko narrowed her eyes.

"And how many dolls are left?" she asked. Her intern counted on her fingers.

"115," she said. "I think..." Junko threw back her head and groaned.

"Seriously?!" she asked.

"I'm so sorry," Yui said, bowing her head. Naoki patted her on the shoulder. Their boss rubbed her forehead and looked around at all the angels in the cages.

"We can't go further with the experiments unless they are fed properly," she complained. The hissing and growling rose around them.

"Oh shut up!" Junko shouted. Suddenly, her phone rang. She took a breath and picked it up.

"Hello?" she asked.

"You sound tense," Kitano said on the other line. Junko sighed and rolled her eyes.

"We're running out of meat," she said.

"Why don't you go get some?" he asked. The nurse frowned as she looked at her two interns staring at her.

"I can't do that without drawing too much attention, remember?" she asked. "The last thing I need is to have the police poking around here asking questions of people disappearing."

"Fair enough," the therapist said. "I call to check up on how your branch was doing. Since you got F to awaken, I am willing to help you. I will take care of it. You will have more meat for the angels in one day's time." Junko bowed her head.

"Thank you, Kitano," she said. "Is there anything you want me to do for you?"

"No," he said. "That is all. Goodbye."

"Thank you, goodbye," Junko said. She hung up but frowned. Kitano brought up another issue on hand. Sure, F had reverted. But she wasn't feeding. Her brother and her friends kept a close watch over her. This would not do.

"Kawaguchi," Junko said. Naoki lifted his head.

"Yes, sensei?" he asked.

"I have a small job for you to do," she said. The nurse leaned forward with a smirk on her face. "I am going to need you to take a little field trip. Are you up for that?" The male intern slowly nodded.

"Good," his boss said. "You already have some idea of what I want. How you choose to execute it is at your discretion."

"Yes, sensei," Kawaguchi said. Junko pulled out her phone.

"I have F's address right here," she said.

-Chiharu-

The pain grew worse. She felt like her body was on fire. Chiharu couldn't eat or drink anything. Her friends would come by and check on her.

"You have to fight this," Mikado whispered. "We couldn't stop you before but maybe it isn't too late." The angel shook her head.

"No?" Mikado asked. Chiharu's right hand gave into trimmers again. The tadpole held it into place. He saw the desperation in her eyes.

"I... can't... hold... on..." she muttered. Her speech started getting slower. Tears of pain formed in her eyes.

"You can't think that way," Mikado said. His words sounded so hollow. Both of them knew it was lie. Chiharu fought the good fight of not feeding on anyone. But how long was that going to last?
