Chereads / Karitori: Kuragari / Chapter 53 - Change

Chapter 53 - Change

Part 2: Shinu De Nuevo.

Arc 7: Changed World.

(Inside an office, the office of Anderson Redfield inside the Reaper Training Dimension. He is sitting at his desk writing on a piece of paper)

(Suddenly Garland bursts through the door)

Anderson Redfield: (He is now 58 Years old) What is it now, Garland?

Garland: (He holds onto his knees) *Out of breath* The Rogue Scythe...

Anderson: What about it?

Garland: It's... it's back!

Anderson: What do you mean it's back?!

Garland: It's inside the pillar-thingy...

Anderson: (He jumps out of his chair) HOW?!

Garland: Well I don't know! Voodoo Magic, I guess!!

(Anderson and Garland rush to the Scythe "Storage" area)

(Inside... the Rogue Scythe is very well, placed firmly inside the pillar. The red gemstone still slowly pulsing)

Anderson: Holy... shit.

(The dark night sky, being illuminated by the full moon. It is the year 1999)

(A girl with faint black hair and clover green eyes. She is being seemingly... dragged away from a suburban American home. As a sound similar to gunshots go off inside the house)

(The girl reaches her hand out to the house, but her vision suddenly turns black)

(Annah suddenly wakes up, taking a deep breath as she jumps awake. Her eyes have seemingly turned into a deep red color)

(She looks around and sees that she is lying on a bed pushed against the walls, inside a room where the walls are made of metal, the light blue color on them is starting to fade. The floor is made of concrete and it appears dusty, the entire room does. The single window is painted black, as if to avoid sunlight from coming inside)

(She steps on the cold concrete floor, her legs trembling either from the cold or... something else. She is wearing a white sleeping dress, that has sleeves to cover her arms and the skirt reaches her knees)

(She holds onto a sliver bar to support her weight, but it burns her hand and she falls back down on the bed)

(The door to the room opens and inside walks... Kuragari wearing a black leather trench coat, the collar and cuffs being light gray in color. His shirt is a tight fitting, denim blue string collar shirt. His pants nearly match this color, but they fit much looser and the right trouser leg has a white stripe, running from the knee to his right hip. He is wearing a pair of black boots. His hair is relatively shorter, but is still slicked backwards. Strangely his left arm is burning with the same black and white fire, that the Black Scythe burns with, but it doesn't set fire to the things surrounding him, nor the coat sleeve)

Annah: (She starts backing away from Kuragari, she lies against the wall) S- Sam...

Kuragari: (He sits down next to Annah on the bed) Annah, you're finally awake? You were out for three weeks. How are you feeling?

Annah: I'm- I'm fine.

Kuragari: Good... the changes, won't be apparent at first, but you'll see them over time.

Annah: Changes?

Kuragari: Yeah... Annah, I- I don't know how to tell this to you. Listen, you were in a bad state... nearly dead. I didn't want to lose another person I cared about. I made a choice, the one choice I swore never to make. Annah, you're a... Vampire now...

Annah: Vampire...?

Kuragari: Yeah, I know it might seem like a colossal change in the way you live. But you'll adjust to it over time. Hell in a year, it'll be like nothing changed at all!

Annah: Samuel... I don't know what to say.

Kuragari: And you don't have to. Elizabeth's... here too, I'll tell her you're awake. (He stands up and starts walking out, but he stops at the door) We'll make it through this, Annah.

(Just as Kuragari walks out the door, Annah has an extreme headache and she lies back down, most likely caused by her body adjusting to Vampirism)

Levi: (He is leaning against a wall, with his arms crossed and starts speaking to Kuragari just as he walks by and walks besides him. He has a massive scar covering the entire right side of his face, caused by the crashing skyscraper) (He is wearing a tight Nirvana band T-shirt, combined with red jeans, brown boots and black driver gloves) What's the plan now, boss?

Kuragari: Please, don't call me boss, I don't like that. And the plan is to assemble those who, well share our interest.

Levi: And after that?

Kuragari: After that is none of your business, you just do what you're told and I will ensure that you AND your sister, make it to the end.

Levi: The end being?

Kuragari: (He starts walking down the stairs and turns to Levi) Please! Stop with the questions! One step at a time! If you worry about the future, you never live in the moment you are right now! (He continues walking down) Or whatever the hell Reyes kept saying over and over!

Levi: Reyes?

Kuragari: (Shaking his head) Nothing...

(Later that evening)

(Inside the Haneda Airport waiting area. Kane and Able sitting in the seats, next to each other)

Kane: (He is looking impatient and anxious. He is wearing a silver colored vest, over a black turtleneck sweater. With black suit trousers and silver boots. His hair is neatly swept through the middle) Are you sure he's even coming here?!

Able: (His hair is sitting wildly and loose. His unkept stubble is starting to grow. The right sleeve of his red jacket is rolled up, due to his missing arm. His gray shirt is sitting loosely and isn't tucked into his pants as it usually is. His blue jeans are torn and doesn't properly fit. His shoelaces aren't even tied) Trust me... he'll be here. I trust him...

Kane: (He sniffs the air and smells a foul stench coming from Able) Jeez... is that you?! We're in public, Able! You couldn't even have taken a bath?! I'm surprised you don't have a beer gut!

Able: Yeah... well at least I don't look like I'm going to a press conference with Bill Gates.

Kane: Amelia picked this out!

Able: Sounds like someone's got a crush!

Kane: I don't! And plus she's like... eleven years younger than me!

Able: Well age is just a number!

Kane: Yeah, and jail's just a room!

Able: She's legal.

Kane: Yeah and-...

("*Clears throat* Gentlemen!")

(Kane and Able look at the man and he is...)

Able: Carter Vekter.

Carter Vekter: (He is wearing a brown leather jacket, combined with a blue and white flannel shirt and brown jeans. He is 39 years old currently. His hair is brown and is of no particular style, sitting freely. His eyes are reddish-brown in color) Been a while, hasn't it gentlemen?

Able: (He shakes Carter's hand) Thanks for coming, Carter.

Carter: You're welcome. And to think I was just enjoying the Ireland air, now I'm in Japan.

Kane: We'll explain everything in the car, let's go!

(Kane walks away, Carter wants to say something but just gives up and walks with them)

(Meanwhile)

(Louis, Gabriela, Peter and... Aiko are sitting on the balcony of a manor outside of town)

Peter: (He is sitting down at a table, with a cup of coffee in hand. He is wearing a yellow shirt with beige pants and boots. Still with the buzzcut hairstyle) Remind me again, just why we're hanging out at some rich guy's manor?

Louis: (He is leaning against a wall. He is wearing a black and white leather tailcoat. A white shirt and pants, with white shoes and gloves) I've said it a thousand times already. Aiko's father is a rich guy. Aiko asked her father if literal DRACULA could stay here. He agreed and Dracula took us with him, cause we're quote on quote "useful" for him. Hell, he'll probably murder us, in our sleep.

Aiko: (She is wearing a Purple shirt, black jeans and shoes) HE WON'T!!! (Everyone stares at her in confusing and surprise) I mean... he probably won't...

Peter: Looks like someone's got a thing for ol' Draci boy.

Aiko: I don't! Besides, who knows if he's even still gonna make it here! My dad said his "training jet" is almost out of fuel, so he'll probably crash in the Indian Ocean or the Sahara Desert! So, no he won't make it back here!

(Suddenly a black jet crashes in the backyard of the manor and from inside Dracula shouts "I'm back, bitches!!!")

Louis: (He closes his eyes and thinks to himself) Oh... good grief.
