Chereads / Soul Shatterer / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

It was two weeks since Kenji landed in hospital, and had this weird meeting with Doctor Chang, unaware of the consequences of the words he shared with the doctor. As he went to the university building, he let out a sigh, as he stared at the Sedan he parked a few minutes ago. "Am I not too old for University? I'm 25 after all." He said as he was letting out a sigh, before he turned around and closed the doors with the key pendrive and went to the school.

As he entered the university, a redhead student spotted him as he entered the locker section.

"New guy, huh?" Buxom redhead asked, as she stared at him for a moment. There was something in her eyes, as he stared... Her hues were glowing blue for a few seconds before she smiled.

"Yup. I just got accepted on Tokyo University. Kenji Suzuki... You?" Kenji asked as he put his car keys and other important things into the locker box before he closed it with the key attached to it, taking the free spot for him.

The redhead smiled as she gave him his hand for a handshake. "Kira Nakamoto. Nice to meet you." The handshake made them both feel chills as she was having the glow still in her eyes, and forgot to close the magical circuits serving in identifying people. Plenty of mana. Dense, glowing mana, that was leaking into the surrounding area."I hope you won't cause trouble, handsome. May I ask how old are you tho?" She asked hun as she had a good look at the now confused Kenji but decided to answer.

"25. Why asking?" Kenji asked as he was thinking on why the question suddently.

"Hmmm," Kira said as she cupped her chin, thinking for a moment. "I must ask one more question - what you did do before signing up for college?" Kenji did not have a problem with answering the question.

"I was a JSDGF Marine, on a 4-year mission, after 2 years contract," Kenji said as if it was Thursday, which caused Kira to open her eyes in surprise, as she was having the stars in her eyes.

"Wait wait, you were a soldier?" Ladies are indeed attracted to uniforms. Kira's sudden change of treatment from suspictious to amazed and fanboyish even, was somethign that Kenji noticed. He blinked two times in a 'what the fuck' manner.

"What's so special about that?" Kenji asked as he looked at Kira who calmed down, shaking her head.

"N-n-nothing, I mean it," Kira said as she panicked a bit, shaking her head to calm down. "Sorry, I just have a bit of an interest in military topics and... It's hard to find somebody who can talk with me about that without being seen as a weirdo."

Kenji smiled as he gave her a headpat which confused her, making her blush a bit. "Then let me tell you one thing. I was field promoted to a Major for a reason. Combat sucks and wrecks you as a human. If you want this to still be your hobby, don't sing up to the army." He said as he turned around and pulled out a card from the pocket.. "By the way where's the class... 1D?"

Kira took a moment to think that through as it made her ask several question but when he mentioned the class, her focus went immediately to that. "Umm. Well, Major Suzuki that would be my class. I help organising things regarding to it."

By sheer luck this goes out of the worry list. At least somebody who will be willing to help on first day. "So.. Where?" Kenji asked as he made a soft smile. "And you are free to go by name Kenji. I am not on duty, so this is going to be awkward if you would use my rank." He said as he had a good look of the surroundings. "Lead the way, Kira."

Kira nods immediately as she waves the hand and walks to the stairway, up to the first floor, as there is one thing Kenji can notice as the bell ranged. The students that are inside the university, wear black trousers/skirts, blue shirt and black suitjackets. Quite stylish look for a prestigious school - that is what anyone would say really. All the jacket have the logo of the school on the right side of the suitjacket.

"So, all of the students wear these?" He asked as he let out a sigh. "And I came in casual clothes." He said as he let out a sigh, as he was wearing nothing but boots, black jeans and blue shirt.

"No worries, yours are pretty close to the uniforms we wear here," Kira said as she went to class 1D, and opened the door. "Sup people. We got a new guy." She said with enthusiasm, as Kenji let out a sigh, entering as the students stared at him. Some girls already started positively spreading gossip, as they described the brunette man in front of them.

"Aren't he ripped?" One of the blondes asked when the brunette joined the discussion. "Yea, he looks ripped as fuck. You saw the abs?"

The gossip is real as Kenji noticed it, whispering "Simps" under the nose and turned his head around and sat on the free chair, nearby free table and put on the bag he got, pulling out the notebook, with the pen as he waited for the break to end before the lessons starts, staring at the window, with Kira sitting next to him, smiling as she was pleased with this meeting.

As time passed, he grew a bit impatient, as he stared at the clock, waiting for the ring, remembering why he hated school so much. "When this will start... Ugh." Kenji said under his nose, as this was spoted by Kira.

"Something wrong, Kenji?" Kira asked as she poked his shoulder which made him turn his head around to face her.

"Yup. The waiting for the lesson to start is annoying and boring." He said as he let out a sigh, playing with his pen as he stared at her.

"Heh. I know this feeling but you have to get used to it. I know in your... Private carreer it propably looked different." Kira said as she big her lip, trying to stop herself from revealing Kenji's career path.

"It did. More movement." He said as he stared at the window once more before having a look at Kira's chest then right after he moved it to the eyes. "Sorry I got distracted a bit." He said as he let out a sigh, which made Kira guess what he got distracted by.

"Oh? You mean these two, big distractions?" Kira asked with a teasing tone, as she took off two buttons from her shirt, making the cleevage a bit bigger, making Kenji blush as she got up, making her boobs bounce, before she sat on the lap.

"W-wait what are you doing, Kira?" He asked, panicked as he was blushing harder, which made the redhead smirk, which brings attention from the class to the situation. "Plus people are watching."

"Let them." She said boldly as she put her hands on the chest, when Kenji resisted, moving his head on the right to face the wall, instead of her chest. This made Kira push her boobs against his chest, which made him blush harder, putting his hands behind him. "What are you afraid huh, soldier?" Kira asked him with a whisper, using seductive tone.

"I-I shouldn't," Kenji said with a stutter as he turned even more red on his face which made some of the girls in the classroom chuckle.

"Tsunderes." Said one of the female students which made Kenji cough a bit to clear his throat and to concentrate, before the bell rang, saving him from the teasing the girl put him through.

"Saved by the bell... Next time you won't be having much field to resist." Kira said with low erotic tone before she got up, giving him a kiss on the forehead, and moved to her spot, as the teacher entered, giving him a wink and sent him a kiss discretly.

As the teacher went in, she introduced herself and asked Kenji to come in front of the class to fully introduce himself. The teacher was unaware of the teasing, that happend minutes ago. Now standing in front of the class, Kenji bowed down a bit. "Kenji Suzuki nice to meet you." And went back to his class as the lessons started.

In the same time, in different part of country, the sound of the harley motorcycle's engine is heard loud and clear throught the tokyo suburbian roads, going out to the more remote parts of the country, where the meeting was about to happen. Michael was focused on the road as he was listening to his favourite rock band, using his phone as a player for the music, he listens to through the wireless earbuds. Turning left, he changed his course from the main road, entering on Doctor Chang's private property.

"Where are you, Chang?" He asked ashe looked around,

on his yard, before noticing him fishing on his property, sitting on the chair. Parking nearby, he made Chang smile, as he put down the music touching the earbuds and got up, shutting down the engine by turning down the key. As he put out the earbuds, he put them into the pocket, sitting nearby on the free chair. "Hey. You wanted to meet?"

Chang smiled as he greeted him with a handshake grab, for a few seconds before he let Michael's hand go. "Yea. Remember when I mentioned you were right? I have papers about this compiled in the bag under my chair."

Michael had a good look at Liu before he pulled out the green camo bag, from under the chair, and put it on his lap, opening it, pulling out mentioned papers. "The patients have a coleration. All of them were holders of the shard. Only one had a permament case of staying as an angel. Kenji Suzuki." Liu said as he noticed that his fishing rod was throbbing, which made the demon got up and react, pulling up the rod from the holding stick, standing barely as the fish was fighting. "Come here, you little fucker! I have you now!"

This situation made Michael laugh as he saw Chang, in the old times, his enemy, and the fiercest warrior he ever faced, struggling with the fish. "Be carefull, Chang. You might break a leg."

"Shut up, Michael!" He said as he got a bit upset as he pulled out the fish from the lake. "2 meters, 30 kilos... New personal." He said with a pleased laughter as he put the fish into the bucket, and sat down on the chair.

In the same time, Michael had a look at the papers. "What's so special about Suzuki Kenji, that you mention him?" Michael asked as he now went to serious topic.

"Ah. He chose the red pill." Michael raised an eyebrow as a sing for Chang to explain things. "Okay... I mentioned you were right - but you were right half-way. The shards contain soul of the Creator, yes... But it is to the holder to decide if he wants to be the holder or not. In a situation of extreme stress put on the body, the shard activates, and the projection of your creator shows up and offers them a choice... Usually this situation resembles a scene from the Matrix."

"Wait for real?" Michael asks as he turns around, on his chair to face Chang who looks at the white-haired man in front of him. "So... What most of them have chosen?"

"Blue pill. They chose to reject the power that was offered to them, and they were angels for like a week before this power dissapeared. No shoulder blade storage for wings, nothing. I also felt that his soul died with that week span." Chang said as he let out a sigh. "Felt kinda sad, you know? I somehow was pleased with the news of the fourth person choosing the red pill. They let your father live in one way. The previous holders are propably dead, or chose the blue pill. I will keep informing you on that if I will find more cases of the shard hoarders... But only if they will choose the red pill."

Michael heard his words, putting his hands in the middle of his legs, playing with the fingers of his as he thought through was Chang said, a minute ago, letting out a sigh. "Fine. Let me know how often you will get the red pill choices. Where is the kid now?"

"You mean, Kenji? Propably in school, as always with ex-military. They usually join the army to get the bills for whatever course they want to be covered. JSDF got quite a budget for it. Just like the US Army." Chang said as he relaxed on the chair.

"You know which one?" He asked as Chang turned his head around, left and right.

"No, Michael, I do not know, bro. I track this down but I will let you once it will be known to me." He said as put his hand on the back of the chair.

"All right I will be heading off to home. See ya." Michael said as he gave him a handshake, before he went to the motorbike, opened the seat lock, lift the seat and put the papers in the storage before he closed the bike seat, and sat on the bike, ran the engine and drove off.

"See ya Michael, safe trip!" Chang said as he relaxed and went back to fishing when the bike's engine sounded to be more distant than it was, before he saw Michael on the road again.

As hours passed, the classes kept being longer and longer, as Kenji played around with his pen. 'Things were easier in the military' He thought to himself as he let out a sigh of dissapointment. Sadly he knows if he will drop out of university now, the command would be putting on him a pressure to just tell why he is adbandoning the school THEY paid for, when he have to find a way to get cash back according to the deal.

What saved him from the boredom, was the bell, that rang at the last class - physics. Making a soft smile he stared at Kira for a moment, which caught her attention. "Got a minute?" Kenji asked as Kira made a nod.

"Sure. What is it, Kenji?" She asked putting her elbow on the table, supporting her head with her hand.

"Can I ask you for your phone number?" Kenji asked as he pulled out his phone and flicked the cover of the flip-phone, opening the calling app.

"S-Sure!" Kira said immediately, as she pulled out her phone. "All right I give you the number." And so she gave him the digits, which Kenji entered into the phone, calling her phone. Kira answered the call and disconnected seconds after so the numbers save. "All right. I have you saved in contacts." Kira said as she saved up the number.

Kenji nods, saving up Kira's number in his phone, which made some reactions from the few students who remained for school activities. "Can I make you a photo? For the contacts?" Kira asked as Kenji nods, letting Kira make the photo for the contacts. He did the same, making the photo of her. He got up, put his notebooks into the backpack and went down to the doors but when he was about to get out, Kira approached him. "You won't stay for the club activities?"

"Nah, I already have an organized meeting on the shooting range with friends from my squad," Kenji said as he let out a sigh, seeing a bit of disappointment on her face. "Sorry, maybe another time," He said as he let out a smile before he left to the hallway near the entrance, opened his locker, took his belongings, his key, and his car key.

Entering his sedan, he drove off from the school building which Kira saw. Letting out a sigh, Kira pulled out her phone and called a friend, when she was staring at the skyscraper.

The air in the heights where the girl was standing was pretty strong. Enough to make a person standing there, having difficulty to fight for balance, but not the man that was standing on the skyscraper's rooftop, as he was eating a burger when Kira called him.

"Sup, Kira... I am busy." He said as he was having his dinner.

"Sorry to interrupt your dinner break, but it is important, Hideki," Kira said as she was having the call in the classroom. "Mind checking something for me?"

"Sure.. Send me the details on the phone, I assume you are in the school?" Hideki asked, as he was finishing the burger.

"Yup. I am sending it to you by mms. Give me a bit." Kira said, as she hanged out, sending him Kenji's photo, she took for the contacts. "Watch him over. I have suspicions and I need to confirm or deny them. His name's Kenji."

"Well.. Another observing job... Kira, kira you hopeless girl. Another potential member? Or wasted time.." Hideki asked as he jumped out of the buildup structure on the rooftop, and let out his cat ears and tail, jumping on the fences that guarded the rooftop, and closed his eyes. "Let's see, Kenji... Where are you?" He asked as he focused on the surrounding area, and opened the eyes, making everybody dissapear, with buildings and other things glowing in blue, with Kenji's car glowing red, as everything in between - is surrounded by black sky, busy with stars. Hideki smiled as he jumped on the next rooftop, and started running, like a cat on four ears, following Kenji, as the car was fast, making Hideki barely keeping up with the angel's car.

"Why are you so bright in a pool of mana like that," Hideki asked as he noticed that when he stared at Kenji, not the car, his body changed from red to a glowing yellow color. "Dense as hell. Kira might be right to watch this dude." He said as he was following Kenji.

After 10 minutes on the road, Kenji arrived at the shooting range, under Tokyo's suburban area, where Hideki found perfect hiding spot amongs the trees. "So let's see why are you here, because I do not see the reason for you to be here..." Hideki said as he closed his eyes and made them return to the regular vision, which revealed 10 other men. "Interesting."

As the meeting was happening, Kenji and others were trying out weapons, fired them at the targets, had a grill and played some soccer before finishing the meeting.

"So, Kenji, since you went to that university tell me.. Did you got some pussies?" one of the men asked as he put his hand on the man's shoulder.

"Nah. I ain't there for the girls." Kenji said as he made Hideki increase his hearing sensitivity.

"Man seriously?" another dude asked as he put his hands close to the chest. "That's best time for doing this - plus you know what we went through back there in Syria? Man, trust me."

"Sorry Jimmy, but that ain't USA. Plus you know our cultural norms, I told you plenty of times about this." Kenji said as he had a good reason to reject the offer.

"Yea, I remember. Logan? Your plans for next week?" Jimmy asked as he lifted his hands from Kenji's shoulder, and stared on the old man.

"Getting my ride fixed. I need it ready on that racing event I told you about." Logan said as Jimmy remembered instantly. "Yea."

"So Kenji, I assume you won't be having time for us next time?" Logan asked as Kenji turned his head around.

"Propably not guys. I need plenty of time to focus on refreshing my elementary knowledge. And get ready for potential exams so... I will keep my nose in the books." Kenji

said as he made some of the men shrug.

"Anyways see ya bro." Another man said as he saluted him, before Kenji saluted back and lifted the hand, when he turned around, and went to his chair.

"So... A soldier? Interesting." Hideki said as he got on another tree, moving away enough so he won't be spotted, calling Kira.

In the same time, Kira was sitting in the clubroom's office, relaxed in the chair, as she was having a tea, when the phone rang. "Sup, Hideki. How's the hunt?"

"Well. Our man is a war veteran. Considering few casual talks, nothing more really - he did indeed meet with his friends. Should I continue observations?" Hideki asked as he looked at the car that drove off to the city.

"Yes. Ensure he is at least safely returning home without any trouble." Kira said as Hideki nods.

"Sure thing sweethearth, see ya." Kira chuckled as Hideki tried to make a flirting attempt, hanging out.

"Heh. Cute..." Kira said as she got up and stretched her legs and arms before getting up. "I should be heading home but... Intuition tells me it would be a wrong idea."

Kira said to herself loud as she stared at the town, through the clubroom's windows, looking at the sunset when Hideki was following Kenji to his house.

Kenji stopped his car, and parked it, when he pulled out his phone, one of the friends called in.

"Kenji! Kenji quick, I am pretty sure you got something in these weapons locker, no? Something... Heavy?" Jim asked as he was panicked in his voice.

"Sorry, bro but why do you need my M32 rotary grenade launcher?" Kenji asked as he heard screams through the phone, and some screetching voice.

"Fuck the WHY! TELL ME WHEN YOU CAN GIVE IT TO US OR USE IT! TOKYO HARBOUR!" Jim asked, yelling at Kenji but the location made him question things.

"What the fuck are you doing in Tokyo Harbour Area!?" Kenji asked Jim who was trying to get calm, as he was firing at the beast when this had regenerative abilities, which made it seemingly unkillable.

"We went in through an offer of a hooker - turned out she is a monster! ACTUAL MONSTER!" Jim panicked as the spider-half of the monster moved forward and started to pursuit other vets who engaged in a firefight with the monster, soon being reinforced with armed police support, who tried to interupt the shootout but turned out to be aided in a fight with a monster.

"What!? Bro you... Wait what the cops are doing there?" Kenji asked as he heard the sirens of the Japaneese Police coming in to the scene through the phone's mic.

In the same time, Kira was relaxing in the chair, reading a manga, when she noticed a messenger teleporting into the room.

The messenger herself was a big titted, brunette woman, dressed in a maid outfit.

"Milady." The woman said as she bowed before her, lifting her maid dress up slightly, which made Kira turn around on the chair and put her manga on the table.

"Yes, Vera?" Kira asked as she put on her glasses and got up.

"We have a case of a rogue demon, that is attacking the people in the Tokyo harbor area," Vera said as she put her hands upfront and looked down slightly, as usual for the maids.

"That's a problem..." Kira said as she seems not to care which could be deduced from the carefree tone.

"M'lady? What is the course of action?" Vera asked as she approached her mistress.

"I will go. No need to disturb my servants this time. I will intervene personally." Kira said as she stared at the window, and the scenery in front of her.

In the same time, Kenji with Hideki were alread at the place, as they were fighting with the cops and the remaining veterans, who kept on firing at the monster from their firearms, including Kenji's rotary grenade launcher.

As Kira shown up, through the magical circle that shown on the ground, with the runic insignia of the House Satan, this made the Demon turn around and stare at the woman in the suit, who stared back at the abomination. "Einstein class... How predictable." Kira said as she corrected her hair, moving bits of it, behind her ear.

"So... Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary~!" The abomination yelled out in distorted voice as the demon stared at Kira with bloodthirsty stare.

Kira let out a bored sigh, as she looked at the dead and wounded, and these who are put in a coma, including heavily wounded Kenji and Hideki. Her stare was still showing disintrest as she locked her eyes with the demon in front of her. "Just a niusance, noting more."

Kira's words confused the demon as it stared at her, moving the spider legs, to turn them to her, moving the human body closer, to have a closer look. "What did you said?"

"You are nothing but a nuisance, Einstein-class bug," Kira said as her hair suddenly turned from redhead to black, with plenty of stars, imitating the night sky, erupting the mana inside the body in form of a void-like pillar of energy, with blue border glow. Raising her hand Kira aimed at the abomination put the opened hand in her direction, and then turned it around snapping her finger, maintaining the eye contact between them, snapping the fingers.

Once that was done, Kira let out a sigh, and turned around making the monster confused. "What have you done, bitch?"

"Something... The effect will show itself soon." Kira said calmly as if the monster was not a threat, which annoyed the abomination.

"WHY ARE YOU NOT AFRAID OF ME!?" Monster asked as it stared at Kira who now kneeled before Kenji and Hideki, but had noticed one thing on Kenji's back. This made her show a cocky smirk on her face, as she turned around, and smiled.

"Because you are already dead," Kira said, turning around, standing on the ground as the monster's spider leg started to crack and turn into dust. Slowly but surely the demon started to die.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!?" The demon asked, screaming in confusion, and fear as it touched itself on the body, staring at the legs, and body slowly turning to dust.

"From dust you are made and into dust you will be turned. I cracked your soul's core, monster... Begone." Kira said with a calm voice as the monster now fell on the ground, with nothing but the human body as the only option used to pull a massive weight attached to it of a spider's body.

"Why! What makes you think you are superior to me!?" The abomination asked once more as it's body cracked more and turned to dust, as it crawled to Kira in a pathetic scene before it desintegrated fully into dust.

"Because I am," Kira said as she turned around and let out a sigh when Hideki got up

"Ugh... Boss... That was the most fucked up thing I ever had to fight with." Hideki said as he cleared out his head and shakend it off.

"It's okay, Hideki. Mind calling in the crew? We have to clean it up." Kira said as she stared at the damages and the unconsious and dead people.

"Yea sure... Cleaning crew coming right up." Hideki said as he pulled out his flip phone and called in some of the crew to help with the cleaning effort. "Five minutes and they will be here... Fuck my back~! Aaaua." Hideki said as he put hands on his back. "What are we going to do with Kenji? He got plenty of holy mana."

"We will turn him into a demon of course. I can't let such opportunity to be ignored." Kira said as she turned his body around and took his shirt off, checking the back which revealed shoulder blade wounds. "Bingo."

"What with... Wait what!?" Hideki said with shock after he spotted the eye symbol on the back as well, in a form of a scar. "No way. Turn him in quick~!" Hideki actually got a bit excited at the prospect knowing what the symbol on the back represents.

"What do you think I am about to do huh?" Kira asked as she pulled out a chess box from a small portal and pulled out a knight figure. The remaining figures were a tower and a knight. Kira put a figure in the place of the eye-shaped scar, and activated the runes on the chess piece, making it sink into the body as if it was absorbed. This resulted in a presence of a blue magical circle and the ressurection of dead Kenji. "I'm lucky today," Kira said with a smile as she put his shirt into her hand and lifted him, placing her hand under his legs and back. "I am heading home, Hideki. You guys here - do the trick and clean this place up."

"Got it boss~! By the way, where you would take him?" Hideki said as he saluted, standing on attention, and went to work, cleaning out the place as Kira opened a portal.

"To his home adress... you know where?" Kira asked as he nods.

"Yup. Here." Hideki said showing the picture of the adress he made ealier, as he tracked Hideki down.

"Thanks, Hideki," Kira said as she kissed the boy's forehead making him blush, which made her smirk, before she crossed through the portal she opened, ending up in Kenji's apartment. "Now... Let's begin..."

Kira said as she placed Kenji on the bed, and stripped him naked, seeing all the assets. "I will save myself some fun for later." Saying as she resisted the urge to do something immoral and started to strip down, drawing healing runes on her body in the process. As she got naked, the runes started to glow in a weak, green light, drawing runes in a few places on Kenji's body. As she got on the bed, naked, she cuddled to him from the back, wrapping herself up around him, before she went asleep. "Sleep well," Kira said before she went to sleep herself. She knew the reaction of him waking up to this situation would be enjoyable to watch.
