4 Chapter 4: A Shadow caster That Doesn't Wanna Kill Me?

Ren and Sen continued walking towards Rens house hoping to find answers but considering how much stamina he lost against Diva it doesn't look like he could make it. As he was about to get to the house his vision went blurry and he lost consciousness before waking up a few hours later in a lab with another shadow caster called Chisoko. Ren woke up feeling better since he had time to rest before jumping up and readying Sen since he thought he would have to fight Chisoko. Ren thought to himself for a bit 'Is this guy friend or foe? One one hand he didn't kill me while I was sleep but on the other hand he kidnapped me while I was sleep."

Chisoko looked at Ren and sighed lightly. "Look kid relax I dont wanna fight you. So you have nothing to worry about." Though Ren was still being cautious he still wanted the answer the question of what he even was. "So what I or what are the people that can control their shadows?" Chisoko lit a cigarette before looking at Ren. "Those like you and your shadow friend over there are called shadow casters. There the souls of defeated demons that became part of humans after Satan was defeated around 300 years ago and the demons were driven out of hell." Rens eyes widened at the realization that since the day he was born mabye even before that he had a demon inside him. He almost went pale when he realized that sen might have been a demon that tortured people in hell which concerned him a bit.

Chisoko took a puff of the Cigarette before continuing after it seemed that Ren had calmed down. "Since your down with whatever mental realization you were having I'll continue. Every human has the ability to awaken the demon that lurks inside of there body but they can only do it under extreme circumstances, like tortue,stress or extreme emotions that would usually cause some people to break. They can also be awakened by being near death. I for example awakened my shadow by getting shot and almost dying." Ren felt a little bad for Chisoko since he nearly died by the hands of someone with a gun but he decided not so say anything.

Ren then sighed now content now that he knew what he was and why his shadow was alive but he had another question. "Why does everyone wanna kill me." Chisoko smoked his cigarette once more. "Well see you are special because when you were young your parents made a deal with the devil. If they got wealth and fame then they would have to experiment on you and make you into the perfect human, someone who could help satan take back his kingdom and become the strongest shadow caster but your parents said that he couldn't ever harm you." Ren couldn't believe what was being said to him his parents would never deal with the devil.

"That's not true! It cant be true my parents would make a deal with Satan there good people." Chisoko took a puff of his cigarette before asking if that's true then why did his parents experiment on him which promptly shut Ren up. Chisoko then began to continue what he was saying. "Somewhere down the line your parents stopped and you went on with your life your shadow active but not sentient only activating when you were in danger, but since your parents stopped experimenting the devil might have made it so that if the demon inside you ever awakened like it is now then he would put a bounty of your head to where whoever killed you and absorbed your shadow would not only become his right hand man but would gain unlimited power or something." Chisoko stopped what he was saying for a moment as he noticed the minor mental breakdown that Ren was having from absorbing so much information at one time. "So..... you have a price on your head." Ren not being able to comprehend everything once again passed out. Chisoko took another puff of his cigarette before sighing. "I knew this would happen, the kids not ready for this information right now. And hes not ready for the dangers that will come after him and hes really not ready for them...." He noticed that Sen had passed out with Ren and chuckled a bit before getting a call. He picked it up and smiled slightly. "Yeah boss the kids here and he's the one Satans been looking for."
