Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 The Beginning of Shiro Fenikkusu

Your past is what makes you who you are now. It is a part of you now and always.but its always your choice to let your past change you. We all make mistakes, but its your job to fix them. And instead of dwelling on them beating yourself up because of your mistake, fix your mistake by not repeating it in the future. Don't let your past stop you from being better, instead accept it and move on. Like they always say, the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing expecting a different result.

It's dark. Silent. A tree appears. One side is black. One side is white. Kurai fenikkusu is on the black side. "So, that was me. You saw all my mistakes. What I was like and what I'm like now. So choose. Do you want to be your own person? Or do you want to be kurai fenikkusu"? Kurai asked

"I- I want to be me. I don't want to be kurai fenikkusu". "Then what is your name"? Kurai asked. He stands there, with his eyes closed and head pointing at the floor. He opens his eyes and looks up. "I… am Shiro Fenikkusu''. Shiro says.

Kurai smiles. The black side of the tree starts to fade away. And kurai starts to fade. "Hey! What's happening to you"?! Shiro yells. "I've accepted my fate. I have no one. So I'm letting you take full control over my body". Kurai says. "No wait. You can't, you have to stay. We can share please stay"! Shiro says. "I can't. I have nothing left anymore. I'm done for". Then before kurai fades into nothing Shiro grabs his arm. "You do have someone. And that's me, your little brother. We are brothers. We have the same parents". Kurai's eyes open wide. And tears start to fall out. Then kurai starts to come back together. And half of the tree tunes back to black. Shiro helps kurai up and they both hug. "I want you to have this body for now. But I will be coming back for it". Kurai says. Shiro chuckles. "Well, next time… we will fight together".

Then Shiro wakes up in a hospital bed. Surrounded by Jane and Carter. "What am I doing here". Shiro says. "Kurai"! They both yell.

Jane jumps on kurai and hugs him real tight. She cries in his shoulder's. "Kurai *sniff* I didn't know when you were *sniff* gonna wake up". Jane says while crying. "You had us worried there for a minute kurai. You were for nd on your bed and you wouldn't wake up". Carter says.

Shiro sits in silence and thinks for a second.

"Uh, kurai"? Jane asked.

"I don't know what happened to me. But my name isn't kurai anymore". "What do you mean"? Carter asked. "My name… is now Shiro". "No? Your name is kurai, it's always been kurai". Jane says.

"She is right. I know you lost your memories but you have an ID, and a mirror to prove it. And you have us". Carter says.

"No. I am not kurai. Kurai isn- my name isn't kurai. Its Shiro". "NO!? what's with the sudden change? This isn't you. Does this have something to do with your white hair"? Jane says. "White hair? Kurai doesn't have white hair it's always been black". Carter explained.

"What are you talking about it's clearly white. His hair was black before but it's white now". Jane says.

"She is right Carter, my hair is white. But I never knew it was black before". Shiro says.

"Maybe we should ask Amelia to look into this". Carter suggested.

"Not right now. Actually I think we should start investigating her about the demos and her possible partnership with them. Then I will trust her with me". Shiro said.

"Good idea. Its kinda funny. You woke up and we were crying"- "you were crying actually". Carter said. "Now we are talking about our job even though you just woke up". Jane says

"Well I can work, I'm fine so I can get started on my job". Shiro says.

The next day kurai heads over to Amelia's lab.

"Amelia it's good to see you". Kurai says.

"Well it's nice to see your ok. So what do you need"? Amelia asked.

"What I can't spend time with my favorite scientist? *Chuckles* anyways I was wondering if you have an assignment for me and my partner"?

"Why isn't Jane here with you".

"She is back at our decision. She is looking into some files".

"I see. Well I do have a few for you".

"Hit me with all you got". Kurai says.

"I need you two to investigate kootenai health for me. It address is 2003 kootenai health way. Reports of demon sightings and suspicious activity in that hospital. My theory, demons has been doing some human trafficking through that hospital. Lately there were some missing people, and a few children recently".

"I'll get started right away".

"Don't forget the investigation folder. Look into my file box it's there in the K section".

"Ok thank you".

Shiro grabs the folder and heads back to his devision in the investigation room. There Shiro reads through the papers while Jane is looking into Amelia's investigation.

"I should be able to do this solo, so you keep working on her". Shiro says.

"No, I'll send Carter with you, he still is out of work do to lack of a partner so he will go with you". Jane says.

"Alright fine. Oh and look into her family background to. Can't be too careful". Shiro says.

"Right".

Its October 9th. Its a little cold, windy and the crowded place of the sick fills the air. As the sun rises for another day Shiro and Carter step out of there jeep. And start walking Kootenai health. "May I help you two"? A lady at the desk asked

"Yes my friend here he has been very sick and he hasn't gotten better". Carter says. "What's the patients name"? She asked. "His name is shi- I mean kurai, fenikkusu". Carter said. "Alright DR.Fewsi will be with you momentarily".

"Thank you very much". Carter says.

Carter and Shiro head to the waiting room.

After 10 minutes DR.fewsi comes out. "Kurai"?

Kurai and Carter head over to him. As they passed by the reception desk the lady says, "sir your gonna have to wait out here till there done".

"Its fine sharen". DR.fewsi says.

They head to Dr.fewsi's main medical room.

"What is this about"? Dr.fewsi says. "Missing people, it traces to this hospital what do you know"? Shiro asked. "I've had suspicion but I left it at the back of my mind". "Tell us why you came to that conclusion". Carter says. "I've noticed some patients files says deceased but there condition wasn't major, but I just thought that they recently died but they didn't have the cause of death". "Where gonna go undercover, get us some uniforms". Carter says. "Right". "Wait we can do that"? Shiro says. "Yes but it's only secret to this doctor only". Carter says.

Shiro and Carter get dressed in nurses uniforms.

"Why can't we wear doctor's uniforms"? Shiro asked. "Because we don't want to attract to much attention". Carter says.

For a couple days all they did was help doctors with patients, and memorized patients info.

Until on the third day of there investigation. A patient who was attacked by a demon was rushed to the hospital. This patient was severely infected with demon blood in their veins. He was stabbed on the right shoulder but it wasn't fatal. But the of the demon blood is spreading fast. This patient was sent to a certain room, no one but two doctors could enter the room. Not even nurses. This would make sense because of his condition, but the operation is a 4 man job.

Basically the operation goes where the person is put in suspended animation, the infection is still spreading but it will keep the patient alive even without blood for a week. After he is suspended one person operates the machine for suspended animation keeping an eye on the system. The other completely drains the blood and flushes his vains out with holy water. Then after his vain are drained of holy water, blood donation with his blood type of course is put in him. Then he is healed and gets out of suspended animation and goes on recovery. If the infection stays for to long it's permanent and can't be treated. When it is in the permanent stage it's called cancer. People with cancer aren't advised to have cancer, most of the time the cancer can move to the baby and the baby will die within a year. But kurai and Shiro we're lucky, they weren't born with cancer.

Back to the patient. This caught carters eye, so he used a spell that made a tiny flame minion to spy on them. This spell allows Carter to see what the minion sees, hears, feels, taste and smell. Luckily you can't taste the combustion.

"Do you have the drug"? A doctor said.

"I'm putting in one dose, stand by". The other doctor said. "P-please… help m-me". The patient says. "1 minute no affect. Apply second dose".

"Applying second dose, stand by". The patient starts screaming in pain. His veins started popping out turning purple. "1 min. Little progress made. Second dose"?

"1 more min".

"2 min, apply third dose". "Applying third dose. Stand by". He starts screaming even louder, trying to fight out of the restraints. His eyes turning purple, his body started deforming. Large bumps all over his body. "Test failed. Made progress on second dose, failed on third. Apply a dose KMN". "Applying KMN now, one dose". The doctors stand and put up a plastic wall. The patient screams got louder and louder, their veins got bigger, and then. *POP*. The veins exploded all throughout his body, leaving a bloody mess.

"test is a failure, only got one improvement from second dose". 1st doctor said.

"Going back to formula, drug sample number 321 failed. 1 out if 50 test passed. 0 out of 10 human testing failed. 1 out of 40 animal testing past. Total, 49 test failed and one test passed. Animal test german shepard number 31 passed. Percentage of the possibility of this experiment a success is 37, 12 times greater than last percentage of 25 percent, experiment is growing at a rapid pace. Documents and results has been submitted". 2nd doctor said

"Alright lets get this place cleaned up before she gets here". 1st doctor said.

"Ugh i know, that crazy bitch needs to find more workers for this, this takes long enough as it is". 2nd doctor said.

"We cant compromise this experiment, plus we get paid like 100 grand every time we do this". 1st doctor said.

Carter releases the spell, and falls on the floor, holding his breath. Shiro catches him. He asked whats wrong, but the look in carter's eyes. It was like he just seen his 6 year old child was tortured and murdered right in front of him. Shiro tries to get carter's attention but it fails. Shiro then slaps the shit out of carter. He gets back to his senses.

"Uh. w-we need to wait a-a bit l-longer. There boss w-who is a she i-is coming to pick up some d-documents". Carter says while stuttering in trauma. "What did you see"?

Carter reaches for shiro's head and touches his temple with two fingers. "See for your self".

The horrifying images carter saw flooded shiro's mind. His knees goes weak one of his eyes turn dark purple with dark purple veins on the side of his head. Like a ghouls eyes from that tokyo manga. His eye turns back to normal and he regains his senses. Afterwards they wait hours. But no one comes. The doctors left a long time ago, but the doors are extremely secured.

"We should report back". Carter says. "Why? We should wait longer, we need to find who is doing this". Shiro says.

"We've been here for hours, and we still have two jobs to do".

"Alright fine, did you get the document's code and number"?

"Ya but why"?

"I just need it. For my report and to document it and another thing".

Carter and shiro report back, and afterwards carter heads back home.

"Hey amelia, ive filed the documents they should be on your desk". Shiro says.

"Alright, thank you. I should be finishing up anyways so thanks for the trouble". Amelia says.

Shiro takes the stairs back to the first floor, and stands by the front door.

"Thanks to that spell ella taught me i can see if she has the documents or not". Shiro thought to himself. "Hono Burendo no kuro yoru". Kurai uses this spell to make his body the flames himself. And spies on amelia. Amelia steps into her office and sits down and starts working on her computer. After and hour she gets up and walks towards the wall where a picture of her and her dead husband. For about a minute she just stares at the picture. Then she takes the picture off the wall and behind it is a safe. "1968473" that was the code. After 30 minutes she leaves. And kurai cancels the spell and opens the safe.

Document number 1369, code; enhancement drug. Kurai found the documents. Now his suspicions were right. She was experimenting on humans and working with demons. As shiro stuffed the documents in his bag, someone appears behind shiro. Shiro turns around slowly and amelia was standing right there. Kurai quickly stands up but amelia was faster. He knocks him out.

Its cold, dark, i cant hear anything and something is covering my face. A dark aura fills my soul like darkness waiting to be unleashed.

"So you stuck your nose where it dosnt belong. Honestly i kinda set you up so its partly my fault. But your a special little one, ive had my eye on you for a long time".

Shiro's face got uncovered and amelia is standing right infront of him. She has a bunch of needles and medical supplies.

"I noticed you changed your name to shiro, and sometimes you show signs of demon infection. At first i thought it was just cancer and you just survived with it mor many years. But then as i got reports your eyes and veins kept turning dark purple. Oh right you cant talk, let me help you". Amelia takes off the bandage covering his face.

"WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT ME HERE! LET ME GO"! Shiro yells out.

"Not until i talk to kurai, so change back".

Shiro's hair turns black.

A week later, Carter and Jane notice he was missing from work for a while. They brought it up to their boss. But the boss had no clue. "I hope kurai is ok". Jane says.

"It's not like him to just disappear. Ever since that day at the hospital I haven't seen him and Ella doesn't know either". Carter says.

After three more days they sent a search party to look for kurai, but he still wasnt found.

Its october 21st, jane and carter was sent out on a mission. A demon was reported seen downtown in coeur d'alene. Description of the demon was humanoid, black skin, red veins, but it was very skinny, which means the demon hasn't eaten in months.

"They have been seen near the mall, around the beach. For a demon its unusual because of the open area, im surprised we haven't gotten anything sooner". Jane said.

"Well either way we need to find it and kill it". Carter said.

Its dark, it smells like a dump truck, a demon who was hiding in a dumpster away from humans.

This humanoid demon, has black skin, red veins, black hair, its body is the closest to a demon than any other, besides for the demon features. "Why cant i go anywhere without someone screaming and attacking me," This demon asked itself, "I just want some food to survive".

Three months ago the demon developed a human consciousness. For three months it wanted to find something to eat, but the only thing demons can eat is raw flesh, humans give demons the most nutrients they need. They are able to eat normal food, but it won't provide them with the nutrients to survive. This demon has been eating left overs of cooked food and sometimes rotten meat and rarely raw meat. But it refuses to eat human, the result is the demon is dying.

The demon has at least another month to live if Carter and Jane don't get to it first.

No food it can eat has been thrown into the dumpster so it decides to move to another one.

Behind season fresh grill it hops in the dumpster waiting for food. And finally it found some food, very little but still its food.

Carter and Jane traced it back to the spot it was before. They spent about five minutes looking through. Until they found some tracks of some type of liquid leading to fresh and grills dumpster.

The demon's gut instincts kick in. he can feel danger coming. With a little hesitation he hops out. But carter and jane were already there. Carter lunged at it swinging with prejudice, the demon managed to doge but Jane cut off its right arm. "AAHHH!" it screamed, "Just LEAVE ME ALONE im just trying to survive". "Its a Chiteki be careful". Jane said. The demon starts running off, and Jane and Carter followed. Attacks after attacks. The demon trying its best to doge, get hit by one, it tore of part of its leg. The demon falls in alley way and carter and Jane follows.

"Please i just want to live please don't kill me". The demon says. Carter and Jane ignore his plead and carter takes out his sword, rases it in the air. The demon starts crying and tries to run away turning its back on carter. But carter cuts it straight in half and kills the demon. Carter and jane standing over it's body, looking down, you can't see there eyes and blood dripping from Carter's sword.

It's dim, the smell of dry blood and the screams of a tortured man. You can hear someone being punched, over, and over and over and over. Shiro looks so pale, needle wounds all over him along with bruises and cuts. Barely any are treated and the only treated wounds are one where he can bleed out. "What happened to kurai," amelia says, " why is he letting you suffer, how about we make a deal, ill take as much blood as i want and ill take you shiro out of kurai's body and give you a new one? How does that sound"? "You can go fuck yourself," Shiro says before he spits blood in her face.

"That's too bad. I was starting to like you". Amelia says.

"What are you planning to do with my blood"? Shiro asked.

"Oh that, ya im testing your blood. I found it surprising you survived this long with cancer, sense you were technically born with it". Amelia says.

"What cancer? What are you talking about"?

"You haven't noticed? You show sighs of cancer, it may have been showing recently but you do have it, sense your father had cancer you were most likely to be born with it, but you were pronounced clean, therefore you survived this long".

"What does my Father have to do with me? And i dont have cancer".

"Weren't you listening? Your father died of cancer dumbass. But my theory is you dont actually have cancer, your something more. Speaking of your test result are in. yay"!

"Carter!" Jane yells as she storms into Carter's office, "I have Kurai's location! We have to go NOW"! Amelia yells.

"Where is it"? Carter says.

"NO TIME TO EXPLAIN LETS GO"!!!

So Carter and Jane rushed to where Shiro was.

"Let's see here," amelia says, "Oh very interesting"> she removes the paper from her face and she has a huge grin.

"You tested positive for demon blood, but negative for any sign of cancer. But you have the chemical balance of a demon and a human. Do you know what that mean shiro"?

"Are you saying we are part demon"?

"Not we, you, only you. When ever kurai is in control kurai has the chemical balance of a full human, but when you take control you have the chemical balance of a human and a demon, therefore you are a demon". Amelia starts laughing hysterically.

"Thats impossible! tell me how"!

"It's simple really. Your mother and father were human, your father had cancer but he impregnated your mother 9 months before you were born".

"How does that make me human"!

"You still don't get it you dumb fuck! Cancer is small amounts of demon blood in your blood stream, the cells multiply and eventually kils your body, most babies that had a parent with cancer dies but some are lucky, but the demon blood moved to your body, but one body cant handle the demon blood, so you absorbed shiro's body while still in your moms wound allowing you to hold the demon blood and making you shiro a demon".

Shiro looks down in shock.

"Did you know about this?" shiro asked.

"Yes, i connected the dots when you took over my body, im honestly surprised you didnt but your not me". Kurai says.

"After all my experiments it took twins in a belly to make what i wanted to for so long". Amelia says. She suddenly pauses, looks at shiro and bites her lip. "25% isnt too bad but we have to start somewhere".

Amelia starts to take off her clothes. Shiro begs and pleads but this does not stop her.

Carter and jane gets to the building shiro was held captive in, they bust through, in it many agents working for amelia tries to stop them but they kill them all before heading down to the basement. Where they find shiro tied up, in tears, beat up and clothes torn besides for his underwear. "Oh my god kurai are you ok". Jane says as she breaks into tears and runs to shiro to untie him. Shiro dosnt say anything, his eyes look dead and his skin is pale.

"Lets just get him out of here". Carter says.

"Right"

They brought him to the hospital where he got treated for his wounds, for three days.

After that he was sent home, where he was suspended from work and college for two weeks do to injuries and damage to his mental health.

For a week after shiro got out of the hospital all he did was look at the ground, and just stare. He barely ate and a psychologist spoke with him every day. Finally he starts talking.

"Ella, could you get me something to drink please". Shiro asked.

"Kurai you finally started talking, are you all better now"? Ella asked.

"I just want something to drink please".

"You got it, you want water, juice, soda?" she asked.

"Ice water would be nice please".

Ella got him some water before sitting down. "Didn't i tell you im shiro not kurai"?

"You did sorry shiro".

Ella calls carter and Jane, they just got off a mission so they headed straight to kurai's away.

Jane comes barging through the door and leaps onto kurai hugging him tightly. "Kurai im so glad your ok im so glad your back to normal dont leave me- i mean us again". Jane cries.

Carter is in the background just laughing his ass off.

"Yeah i missed you to, now please get off. And its shiro". Shiro says.

"What ever just accept my care shiro". After a minute she finnaly gets off of him. "Who did this to you"? Jane asked.

"It was Amelia".

"I knew that bitch moved so suddenly. UGH that pisses me off i should have killed her while i had the chance".

Little to what shiro knows, he was injected with a dose of a certain drug.

This drug was experimented with people who had demon blood in there bloodstream. But it never worked. Until they found someone with demon DNA.

This drug is called Human Demon Enhancer or HDE for short.
