A Shiki Story

Eleventh Slaughter

Violet

Outside that hag of a woman was badmouthing them outside the house's gates. She had heard a wide spread rumor that the crazy old bat had psychic power but all she saw was a human that should be killed as soon as possible. "That one's trouble. The humans might start to follow her in fear like sheep," She said before she sipped her ice cold Apple Cider.

Ikumi Itou, This self proclaimed shamen was treated like she was crazy by her fellow villagers. She could feel that woman stare at her whenever she went down the mountain to get groceries. The Ozaki Clinic lost one of their Staff Members due to her fellow Shiki taking control of their prey. She'd love to get rid of that pest of a Doctor and the nurses as fast as possible.

A little later Tatsumi told her about the little slip of info he gave to the Doctor's wife about the Clinic they were going to set up. "Some one actually married that human ? He does not seem very good husband material," She chuckled.

She had wandered into the forest were their was a clearing. Letting herself fall on her back she closed her eyes and inhaled the scent of the flowers. She dreamed a old dream, Where humans and Shikis could Co-exist with each other. A lot of them did not wish for this but its not like they want to die either.

Maybe in the future that might happen in a far away secluded place but she doubted that would happen here at this time. 

That night she could smell Sunako, no doubt she was visiting Mr.Muroi. Mr. Muroi was a kind and a gentleman unlike his doctor friend since childhood who would kill them all in a instant without thought. It had gotten cooler with fall coming she had noticed. 

The next day it was rather windy to her happy surprise. She loved to race with the wind even when she was a small child. Her parents would say she raced the wind like she had wings. When she heard,"Come out !" and banging on the large door did she race back and jump over one of the walls unseen.

"I know who you really are !  Okiagari ! Open the door !" The crazy lady demanded still banging on the large metal doors.  "Excuse me...What is this fuss about ?" Tatsumi asked timidly as he poked out of the very much not noticeable door that blended in the brick.  Blinking she screamed in surprise and terror as the crazy lady whipped out these white ceremonial looking things and charged at them with a battle cry.

"Ahh !" They screamed and retreated inside and locked the door shut. "Wait up ! It's no use hiding !" The crazy lady yelled. "S-Scary !" Tatsumi stammered. "Ahh ! This woman's crazy !" She yelled in terror. "I'll expose you true identity ! Be prepared !"

"You all suddenly barge in and shout absurdities about us," Seishirou remarked as the large gates swung slowly out. "Is that what passes for manners in this village ?" Seishirou asked looking like a Nobleman and Tatsumi in a butler's clothes. She on the other hand wore  a french maid outfit with matching red with the two.

"Forgive me for saying so, I Seishirou Kirishiki...am shocked !" She could tell that all the humans were entranced by them. Such mundane humans had never seen beauty so naturally they were overwhelmed. "Wh-Why is he able to come out in the sun ?" Crazy bat asked. "Being able to come outside during the day doesen't mean he isin't a Okiagari ! Be gone !" She cried as she ran at him and placed a piece of paper that must be a talisman on Seishrou's cape.

"What is this for ?" Seishrou asked. "I-I won't be fooled ! Where is your wife and child !?" The old bat demanded getting flustered. "They're over there. My wife and daughter have a serious illness that compromises their immune system. I apologize for not being able to bring them down here."

Both looked out a window and had sunglasses over their eyes. "You're trying to trick us, aren't you ?!" The old bat said. The Doctor of this village checked Seishrou's pulse and was declared alive. They closed the gates as the crowd of humans talked amoungst each other. 

Later that night one of the female Shiki's lured the old crone out of her house to a bridge and was killed right away. Her body was drained of blood and was left in the forest where if she turned the sunlight would get her.

"Well done Tatsumi," She praised the blue haired male next to her.
