A New Member of The Family

NOTE: You can gladly forget about Part 0, Hell even I admit that wasn't the best and in some aspects "heavily inspired" by JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. But I am willing to take all the hate and criticism. I do want to improve, no matter what hurdles are thrown at me. So I hope you all understand, I have MASSIVE ideas for this story. It is far from over.

Part 1: Hunters and The Hunted

Arc 5: Monster Hunting.

(Around the time of 6:34)

(A man wearing a dark Green cape, with a hoodie over his head enters a dark abandoned home, in the outskirts of Tokyo)

(The inside of the home is completely destroyed, broken glass everywhere, the man steps carefully, almost as if he is on the lookout for something)

(He opens the door to a sleeping room and inside are 2 bloody and dirty bodies, a male around the age of 15 and a female around 20)

The Man: (Thinking) 2 bodies... the man of the house is normally consumed and the mother's body is taken over... these are the kids. Yeah... I'm dealing with a Kikimora here.

(The Man continues walking through the house slowly)

The Man: (Thinking) Kikimoras, they start out as a small spider, hiding somewhere in the house, when it reaches a certain age or size it makes it's move. It lures in the father or oldest male member of the house, promising what they most seek, the second the Kikimora sees an opening it attacks and kills the male member, it then consumes him and grows in size exponentially, what it does after that is just sick, it takes over the mother of the house's body, don't ask how... it then murders the children and eats the youngest child...

(He enters the kitchen and opens the fridge, the food is a week old)

(A slime-like substance drops on his face and he looks up)

The Man: Where it then takes on it's true form.

(The top half of the beast is a beautiful brunette haired woman, with devil like red eyes. But the bottom half is disgusting, it has 8 spike-like legs, of an ugly rust and red color, it looks disfigured)

(The Kikimora's size almost takes over the kitchen)

(The Kikimora becomes aggressive and it screams out, opening the bottom of her jaw, it splits in 2 and her tongue dangles out of her mouth)

(The Kikimora lunges at the man with her mouth)

(Before the Kikimora reaches him, the man takes out two 10 rounder revolver, one is gold with silver and nickel engravings of a rose and a lion, the grip is made of pearl and has the carving of Scorpion on it, it's name is Reap and the other is made of silver and has "Fate shall come for you and you shall grin your teeth against it and face the odds, defying it and forging yourself" engraved in gold on it, the grip is made from ebony and has a Kitsune carved on it)

(The Man fires all his rounds into the Kikimora, the revolvers are full auto, it shreds the Kikimora in pieces easily, spraying blood everywhere)

(The Kikimora falls to the ground dead)

(The Man takes off the hoodie of the cloak, revealing his right parted undercut hair and his purple eyes, he doesn't have a beard, revealing his scar on the right side of his jaw)

(This Man is indeed Samuel L. Reyes. 5 years after the defeat of Dracula Infinity, he is now the age of 30)

(He walks over to the Kikimora and cuts off one of the legs using The Rogue Scythe for a trophy)

(Sam puts the leg in a bag and walks out the kitchen)

(Sam walks outside and takes a gas can from the Van parked outside)

(He goes back inside and starts pouring gasoline on the floor, he then goes back outside and uses Grimm Fire to burn the house down and get rid of the evidence)

(Sam drives off in the Van towards Tokyo and reaches a 3 story apartment brown brick building with a blue neon sign outside above the door; "Reaper Hunting Co.")

(He parks the car inside a garage and takes off his Green Cape and puts it in the back of the Van, he takes out his signature Dark Blue Coat with the starfish on it's left shoulder and he puts it on)

(Underneath the Coat he is wearing an open collar black long sleeve shirt, black jeans that blend with the shirt, light gray boots and a dark blue finger less leather glove on his left hand, the tree of Fate charm is clearly visible, Sam is unable to take the charm off)

(Sam enters the front of the building and is greeted by a familiar face; Able Pendragon reading an adult magazine)

(The apartment doubles as a workplace and a home for Sam, Able and Annah Zitalia)

(The main room of the apartment is the living room/Sam's workplace)

(There is a Mahogany desk in the living, it sits across from a TV and a couch, the floor is made from oak wood, there is a small carpet in front of Sam's desk, there are various paintings and photos on the wall, there is a door next to the stairs that leads to the kitchen and a cabinet next to Sam's desk containing his weapons, there is the skull of a large monster with demonic horns on the wall behind Sam's desk)

Able Pendragon: (Scrambling to hide the magazine) (Wearing an open black leather jacket, red shirt, gray pants and red boots, he is wearing a Dragon shaped neck collar and black cloth gloves) Oh, Sam!!! Didn't think you'd be back this early!!! How was the hunt?

Sam: (Sits down at his desk, with a photo and several files on it) (He places down the Kikimora leg on the desk) It was easy, had to burn the house down to get rid of the evidence, but still shouldn't attract too much attention.

Able: Okay... what was it?

Sam: (Resting backwards on the chair, he puts his legs on the desk) Kikimora, big one too, I just shot it and it died... I hope.

Able: Well, not our problem if it stays alive!

Sam: Haha yeah... where's Annah?

Able: She went into town real quick to look for groceries.

Sam: (Looks at his watch) It's 7:03, what stores are gonna be open?

Able: Hell, I don't know. She'll be safe.

Sam: She better be.

Able: (Stands up and tries to hide the magazine) Listen I'm gonna head up to my room for no particular reason...

Sam: To watch hentai?

Able: How did you-...

Sam: I've know you for 20 years now. Obviously I'd know what you're gonna do...

Able: I guess you're right.

Sam: Haha... (Closes his eyes) I'm gonna take a little nap, I had to wake up kinda early today.

Able: Just don't fall out the chair.

Sam: I won't...

(Sam falls asleep and he starts dreaming)

(In the dream)

(Sam is standing next to a river looking out towards a scenic nature view)

(Someone greets Sam from behind)

(Sam turns around and sees her, Isabel standing in front of a shroud of light, reaching her hand out to Sam)

(Sam starts walking towards her slowly)

(He takes a single step and gets a cut on his leg, he takes another step this time getting a cut on his forehead, causing blood to drip on his face)

(With every step Sam takes, he gets cut and bruised all around)

(One of his steps even cuts off his right arm)

(He runs towards Isabel determined to be with her again, who seems to get farther away as Sam gets closer)

(He reaches his hand out to hold her, but he is too slow and Isabel gets swallowed by the light and she disappears from Sam's life again, he is once again unable to save her)

(Sam is woken up by someone knocking on the door and almost falls out of his seat)

Sam: Yeah, yeah give me a minute!!!

(Sam suddenly stands up but his head gets light and he sits back down)

Sam: Ah... vertigo. Make that 2 minutes!!!

(Sam gets up and walks to the door)

(He opens the door and on the other side stands a 13 year old girl, her hair is Scarlet and her eyes are hazel in color, she is 5'1ft tall, she is wearing a red shirt and black pants, she looks gentle and happy and also a bit confused, she is looking up at Sam as short as he is)

Sam: (Looking around) Um... who are you? Are you lost maybe?

(A man jumps out from behind a corner he seems joyful, he has Dark Brown Hair and angelic blue eyes, he stands at 6ft, he is wearing a neat white suit with a yellow shirt under the jacket and tie)

The Man: Hiya Sam!!!

Sam: Michael... I'm confused as to what's going on here. Did you bring her?

Michael: Naturally! Sam, meet your adopted daughter!

Sam: What!!! I didn't agree to this.

Girl: Mr. Michael what do you mean by adopted daughter?

Sam: Yeah...

Both Sam and The Girl: (Turns towards Michael and become a little bit aggressive) Mind explaining this to us!

Michael: See, you're bonding already... well you see Samuel; a guy approached me, one rainy night and he told me, I quote "Take this girl to Samuel Reyes, him and I already have the paper settled, she is his next contract" and apart from that there's nothing else... although the guy did begins saying some crap about Destiny and all that...

Sam: What papers!? I have some many questions... like isn't the adoption agency supposed to ask me questions and inspect my house? Do they know I struggle with rent!? Who is her biological father?

Michael: You see on all those parts; I'm equally as confused. But she is gonna be staying with you, until she's old enough to move out.

Sam: Huh, fine. What's her name?

Michael: (He shoves her forward lightly) Go ahead.

Elizabeth: (In a soft and kind angelic voice) Oh, uh my name is Elizabeth Cortey. But I guess now its Elizabeth Reyes!

(Elizabeth smiles, bows and then hugs Sam)

(Sam looks at her surprised and is sorta hugging her but not really)

Michael: Well if that's not the most wholesome thing I've ever seen then I don't know what is.

(Annah Zitalia comes walking up from the street)

Annah Zitalia: (Wearing her white jacket and black jacket) (She sees Elizabeth hugging Sam and walks up to Michael) Di- did I miss something?

Michael: Miss Zitalia, good to see you.

Able: (Comes from down the stairs holding a tablet) Hey Sam, this looks interesting an abandoned house, with a "Demon" sighting-... (He notices Elizabeth hugging Sam) Uh... Sam, w- who is she?

(Elizabeth lets go of Sam)

Sam: I'll try and explain it all to you two later...

Michael: Well Sam, I'll be back later with a contract, see ya!

Sam: As long as it's actually something for me to kill.

(Michael uses a teleportation spell)

Elizabeth: What just happened?

(Sam and Elizabeth walk inside)

(Able walks over to Annah)

Annah: What...?

Able: You know, I'm just as confused as you are. Sam didn't mention anything about adopting a little girl... I guess we're gonna have to put up with her for now.

Annah: I just can't figure something out.

Able: What?

Annah: Who would entrust this girl with Sam.

Able: I just hope she's not that big of nuance, we'll just have to see what happens.

(Why is Elizabeth here? Is it part of something bigger? Some of these questions and many more will be unveiled and answered in this action packed part of Shin no Karitori, The Hunters and The Hunted!)
