A Shiki Story

Sixth Skull

Violet

Monday September 19, Night

Megumi seemed very sad as she left her spot that she often occupied when watching the blue haired boy. Tear pearls fell from her now dark with a hint of a pink eyes. He tore her note, What a heartless guy, she thought from her spot. When Megumi walked away and back glanced she saw hatred in her eyes.

'Hell has no fury', she thought quoted. Meaning about a women's scorn and those should beware.

During the day

That boy knew Megumi was not in her grave. She heard him say that he was not going to die. Challenge accepted, she thought from her far away spot. A little bored she left her spot to wander around the human town. The house that recently had a Shiki visit, she heard a female crying out,"Hiromi !"

She could sense another one was bitten as well. Keeping her mask on she headed back to go see if she needed to serve Sunako. That night she did pour Sunako a wine glass full of delicious blood. She heard later that the good doctor yelled at one of his patient's family. He must be loosing his control or mind, she thought.

Later that night she and Sunako headed back to the church. "I saw the light from my house," Sunako said peeking her head inside. Poking her head she smiled at the silver haired human who seemed to be kind and polite. "I accompanied Sunako here. She was safe the whole time Mr. Muroi," she said softly.

"Thank you miss ?" he asked. "Violet." she replied. Sunako got her book autographed but it seemed Mr. Muroi was worried with her going out with her illness that she could get infected. "Oh ? You've checked up on my illness ? That makes me happy. But you don't have to worry about it. We have a live in doctor at home since my mother has the same illness."

"I see. Then your mother needs to know this as well. I wan't you to keep it a secret. An unidentified disease is going around in the village right now."

"Unidentified ?" Sunako asked.  "Is it dangerous ?" she asked breaking her silence.  "Yes," he replied.  "Oh no....We came here all the way to recuperate, but its more dangerous than staying in town,isn't it ?  But these things happen. After I was lucky enough to meet you...But I can come here again ?" Sunako asked worriedly.

"Its not something you need to get permission  from me. But be careful."

She stayed silent but payed attention at the detail that the doctor was getting frustrated about not being able to save his patients. Sunako placed a hand on Mr. Muroi's head and consoled him. As they left did she turn to look at him. "Tell your friend that he is human, he can't save everyone. I will watch Sunako and the rest of the family and keep them safe," she said as she left.

Wednesday, September 21

Another death from that one house from earlier. "Man, those guy's are fast," she said after whistling. That blue haired boy was poking his nose where it should not be. She heard him mutter,'Vampires'

And a bright orange haired hag was bad mouthing the family saying they brought calamity to the village. Superstitious people have proved to be a problem. Better let Sunako and the others know about this, she thought as she stuck a red Popsicle in her mouth. It was too sunny for her liking so she normally had her parasol and ate cold things to help her with the intense heat.

When she got close she heard two voices. Some kids who, the boy seemed fixed that they were the ones responsible for the villagers deaths. She and Tatsumi watched the naive two from a distance.
