Chapter 29 MARK FOR DEATH 2
“Are you alright? She questions.
Eji stares into her blue eyes as the moonlight shone brightly in the duo's face.
“I don’t know what I will do if I lose you. Today I almost went mad. I couldn’t bear the thought you were going to leave me so soon”.
She draws her face closer to his face staring boldly into his dark eyes.
“Well thanks to my shinning knight here I am saved and here with you. I have something to tell you Kurosaki”.
“Wait, before I forget, I have something to give you" Eji removes the cross-chain from his neck and place it on her neck.
“This cross is the reason why the ghost vanished. she is powerful but I think this her weakness. Shiro, freeman, and I will go to your house and fortify your home. We drop you and freeman while Shiro and I can get more cross. The duo talked a while and the evening wind created a romantic atmosphere between the duo but was soon short leave when the lights turn on and Shiro opens the door.
“Ahem!” am so jealous of you Eji. Let’s go
“What do you mean? Eji questions as if nothing had happened.
Shiro and freeman drove to the Christabel house, as planned. Freeman puts in place the cross chains and another S.P.P.D talisman in doors, windows, floor, etc, while Eji and Shiro visit the popular S.P.P.D convenient store to buy more cross and fortifications.
Eji standing outside the convenience store waiting for Someone when suddenly the convenience store lights went off. He had a feeling that the urban ghost was nearby. He turns to run into the store. The front door swings slammed shut. Confused and already trembling with no protection. His eyes roam to and fro standing in a defense pose like someone about to catch a rabbit. Behind him emerge from the convenience store walls. The urban ghost, the night had made her bloodshot eyes bright red looking down behind Eji’s head.
BEHIND YOU
A girl’s voice speaks in his head. He turns his head around. A loud haunting howl screams at him. He jumps rolling on the ground and begins to run with all his might. He bolted through a street and could recognize the street.
He saw it in his dream while running in the street with modern houses. His adrenaline rush made him think faster than normal. He calculates that if he must survive. He has to find shiro's location and not because Shiro could save him. No, because he will get the cross to prevent her from killing him.
He was almost at the end of the street when he slide his feet to the ground.
The urban ghost was standing a distance in the middle of the street in front of him. He remembers his dream and started running back where he ran from. The urban ghost raised her hand mid-way and several packs of dark ghostly wolves pursued him. The light in the streets and houses begins to turn off one by one after him. He was running when he hears a voice in his head.
RUN TO THE STREET, TAKE A RIGHT TURN, HELP IS ON THE WAY TO YOU, CALL MY NAME.
“What? “Who are you and why are you in my head?
“Damn” another spirit again. I don’t have time for these” Eji grimaced.
Eji still running as the street light shatters violently forcing him to raise his arms to cover his head from the falling shards. The urban ghost dashes out with intense speed in hot pursuit after Eji. As she moves, thick black smoking substances move with her damaging vehicles, violently shattering vehicle windows with a street light. The urban ghost stretches her hands almost reaching Eji’s neck with black smoking substances surrounding her arm to her body however Eji turns right obeying the voice in his head. He bumps into Shiro who had already analyzed the situation from afar and prepared to ambush the ghost. the urban Ghost turns right only to see Shiro holding a cross necklace, she instantly vanished with her smoke.
The sight of the ghost startled Shiro however he was not afraid duo to his line of work.
“Put it on” Shiro threw a cross necklace to the panting Eji trying to catch his breath who just ran a full street.
The urban ghost appears a distance in front of the duo with thick black substances about her. Vehicles parked behind her in a horizontal manner down the street left and right. Houses behind the parked vehicles where she is standing.
Eji looking at a live horror movie was afraid but not shuddering
“So this is the famous urban ghost? Shiro questions
“She is not having these black substances when she appeared in school. I explain, her appearance seems to have changed. she was still having her long black hair to her kneel, dark circles for her eye socket which made her bloodshot gleam eyes bright red, her skull face with worms about it. Her white gown similar to a wedding dress had changed to thick black substances about her. Her hands and feet were still black but with longer claws as fingernails.
“Hmmm”, shiro took a note and wrote down his experiences leaving Eji speechless.
“Are you not afraid? Eji questioned while staring at the ghost who howls having parks of shadow wolves by her side.
“No” it’s my line of work” learn this Eji. when you standing in front of assholes like her. Rule number one. Do not be afraid. Fear makes s her grow stronger and from my deduction now. It appears she is stronger at night especially it's now a full moon. Shiro was still talking when the ghost angrily howls at him.
“Oya oyaaa Shiro smiles, she seems to be angry that I call her an idiot. how rude of me sweetheart.”
“Allow me to introduce myself. I am officer shirogawa kagami of the S.P.P.D. popularly known as jack the ripper” He rolls his pen around his fingertips, blue light envelops the pen transforming it into a long thick pole bringing out a huge curved edged sharp long blade.
Shiro stands in a battle stance straight with a death scythe. A humanoid spirit with a white and red color mask on glowing blue in its clothes floats behind shiros head as the huge full moon shines behind him.
