5 Chapter 5- The encounter

The next day. Kokoto gets a text on his phone from Sakiri.

"You wanna hang out today?"

"Sure. I've got nothing better to do."

"Great! I've got some shopping I need to do so let's go to the mall. Meet you there at 2?"

"Ok"

It's 12 now so I should probably get ready. Kokoto gets ready and walks to the mall.

"It's 2:10 pm. Where is this girl?"

"Koko!"

"You're late."

"I know I'm sorry. I was getting ready and lost track of time."

"Uh-huh. Well, you look nice."

Sakiri blushes

"Thanks."

Kokoto grabs her hand and as they are walking in a man stops them

"Free sample?"

"Uh no thanks"

"Come on just try it."

"Again no thanks."

Kokoto pulls Sakiri and walks away from the man.

"What's wrong Koko?"

"I don't know but I'm getting bad vibes from him."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. Just forget about it and let's shop."

"ok."

Kokoto and Sakiri continue shopping. They stop at a couple of stores and start to leave after a long day of shopping.

"Did you get everything you wanted?"

"Yes, I did. Today was nice, thanks for coming."

"It's no big deal, I am your boyfriend after all."

Sakiri blushes when he says this

"Hay again. Want to try a free sample?"

"AGAIN no thanks."

Kokoto says while lightly pulling Sakiri out of the mall with him

"Oh come on it's just one sample."

Kokoto stops dead in his tracts

"No... it can't be!"

"Oh, so you finally figured it out. Took you a while, my dear child."

The mysterious figure teleports Kokoto and Sakiri away from the mall to an abandoned lot.

"This is a better place to talk."

"Koko, what's he talking about?"

"So that's your name? Koko? You had such a powerful name and now your Koko. What a shame."

"I had no control over that. The people who gave birth to this body named it that. And its Kokoto. Not Koko. Only Saki can call me that. You have no right to call me that."

"Now Koko that's no way to speak to your creator."

"Koko, what's he talking about?"

"How are you still alive?"

"That's my little secret. Now Koko, Who am I?"

"He's...he's...I guess you could say he's my father."

"What? I thought gods didn't have children."

"They don't."

"Then...how?"

"He was the 'Head Scientist' in the god realm. He held all knowledge that pertained to science. He was acknowledged as the smartest person in my realm. But he started to lose his mind."

"I DID NOT! ITS WAS YOU ALL THAT THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY! MY WORK WAS CRUCIAL!"

Kokoto doesn't respond and continues to talk.

"He wanted to create a being that was more powerful than the gods but has the ability to reproduce. In that quest, he learned that his one problem was creating a human body suitable for that power. So he started to experiment with humans and through his experiments he created demons. He... he created monsters. He turned millions of people into monsters. After all his experimenting he solved his problem. He figured out how to make a body that was able to hold unimaginable power. Then all he needed was a soul. He needed something with powers to inhabit the body."

"And so I created you. An artificial god. The first and only one of its kind. And it worked. I put you into the body and it survived... but that was when it all went downhill. The other gods had started to notice something was going on. So they had the upper-level gods come and search my lab. There they found the notes on my experiments. They found normal notes and records. But they kept looking. They found more records. Records that should have never been seen by anyone else. They found I had committed the ultimate taboo. They couldn't believe I would do such a thing but then they kept searching and saw the room. The room with the corpses of hundreds of dead gods."
