Just Another Day for Reaper Hunting Co. II

Part 1: Hunters and The Hunted

Arc 5: Monster Hunting.

(Annah leads Ren inside, she is holding tightly onto Sam, who is still a teddy bear)

(Everyone is looking at Ren as he walks inside, he is a bit shy. Annah puts Sam down at his desk, Sam struggles to open a drawer and Annah opens it for him, taking out the paper inside and putting it on the desk)

Sam: Alright... there are only 2 requirements if you want to work with me, 1 you need to sign up with The RoundTable Organization and technically you work for them and 2 you need to know, you can be killed at basically anytime and you need to defend yourself so...

(Sam tries to press a button under his desk, but is unsuccessful at reaching it, Sara rushes over and presses the button for Sam, much to Annah's dismay.)

(A small drawer opens under the desk, inside is a dagger. But not just any dagger, the blade is golden with an engraving of a tree on it, the hilt is made of oak wood and there is a small blue gem inside it... it is the Elementa Dagger, when the dagger pierces someone, it instantly gives the their Magica Potential and Elementa)

Sam: (Tries to grab the dagger, but is unable to due to having no fingers) Hah... great. Annah... just get over here real quick...

(Annah leans towards Sam and he whispers something in her ear, she merely nods and reaches for the dagger)

(Annah suddenly throws the dagger at Ren and a bright light envelopes around him and everyone covers their eyes)

(The bright light disappears and Ren is left standing, he has a shocked and confused expression on his face)

Ren: (Looking around the room) What just happened...?

Kane: (Sitting on the couch, he looks back at Sam) Who else are you gonna stab that thing with? You're basically doing it for free at this point.

Sam: Yeah, I know, I know... now listen, Ren I expect you to be here at 8 every morning, Saturdays and Sundays you're off.

Ren: (Starts scratching his head) Haha... a funny little thing!

Sam: What?

Ren: I kinda need a place to stay...

Sam: Why?

Ren: You see the bank... kinda repossessed my house.

Sam: (Starts facepalming and shaking his head) First... I get turned into a teddy bear... now this! It's like I'm running a homeless shelter here! Fine... there's a few more spare rooms on the third floor and the basement... never mind not the basement.

Ren: Why not the basement?

Kane: You see... that's where we keep people we kidnap.

Ren: You kidnap p- people...?

Kane: Yeah sometimes we interrogate them too, sometimes... haha you know, it gets a little bloody.

Ren: Wha- what's your name again?

Kane: Kane Pendragon, with a K...

Ren: N- noted.

Able: (Coming down the stairs, reading a book) Sam I think I may have a solution to your teddy bear problem...

Sam: Well get on with it.

Able: Turns out... haha that Witch put a "transformation" spell on you, the only to way to reverse it, is well through another spell.

Sam: Then perform it!

Able: Thing is... for some or other reason... the reverse spell isn't in here!

Sam: AH! I hate these plot conveniences!!!

Able: I'm gonna do a bit of digging to find it, if I do then I'll tell you immediately...

Sara: So... I'm assuming it's gonna take a few hours?

Able: Yeah... or 2 to 3 days, depending on what the spell requires...

Sara: Perfect!!! (She rushes over to Sam and picks him up, making her way to the door) I'm gonna go to town for a while and I'll take Sam with me!!! (She walks out of the door and into town) Be back in a few hours!!!

Able: Annah... just follow them please?

Annah: Gladly!!!

(Annah runs out the door after Sara)

Able: This has to one of the most bizarre days ever... (He sees Ren still trying to work everything out) What are you doing here?

Ren: Uhh... I live here now?

Able: Of course you do... first Elizabeth, now him.

(Able makes his way back up the stairs)

(Through the streets of Tokyo. Sara is walking holding Sam close to her at all times)

Sara: (Looking at Sam) So umm... where would you like to go?

Sam: (Speaking softly and quietly) I'd rather not talk in public...

Sara: Why...?

Sam: Jeez... I don't know, maybe because I'm a talking teddy bear.

Sara: Oh... I'll go to the park then!

Annah: (Silently stalking and spying on them) (Thinking) The second she lets her guard down... I'll snatch Sam straight out of her hands! She won't suspect a thing, haha...

(As Sara turns to her right, Annah quickly runs past and takes Sam from her arms and runs down the street)

Annah: (Turning her head back to look at Sara while running away) Hahaha! Thanks!!!

(Suddenly Annah trips and Sam goes flying out of her hands)

Sam: (While flying in the air) AAHHH!!! Oh please let their be something soft to land on!!!

(Sam lands in a back alley dumpster on his head, knocking him out. He suddenly wakes up in the same room where he met Claire/Fate as always he is sitting on a chair)

Sam: Did I die? (He looks at his hands and surely enough) Still a teddy bear... great!

(Fate enters the room, but is confused as to where Sam is)

Fate: I'm sure I summoned him... maybe it's a bit delayed? (She sees as a teddy bear sitting in the chair, he face turns shocked and stunned. But soon fills with joy and excitement. She rushes over to Sam and sits in the chair across from him) What happened to you!?

Sam: Fate... a witch put a spell on me.

Fate: You're so... so-... (She picks Sam up and starts embracing him tightly, squeezing him closer to her) So perfect!!! I can cuddle you for all of eternity!!! Hahahaha!

Sam: (Struggling for breath) Ah... is this important!?

Fate: (Suddenly teleports to a bed and she starts rolling over it, while cuddling Sam) Yeah... yeah!!! I'll get to it in a minute!!! Just let me enjoy this, please!?

Sam: Huh... fine. Just stop rolling around, you're gonna squish me to death.

Fate: (Starts to let go of Sam slowly) Alright, alright... (She suddenly starts to hold Sam tightly again) Just a few more seconds!!!

(After a few seconds, Fate suddenly teleports the both of them back to the chairs)

Sam: Okay... so why'd you call me here?

Fate: Yes, returning to important matters... a war is coming Sam.

Sam: Well what kinda war we talking about here? Nukes or Napalm? Guns N Roses or Edwin Starr?

Fate: No... more.

Sam: Heaven and Hell?

Fate: Something even worse... Samuel, I can't tell you... not until Part 4 that is...

Sam: Did you just break the 4th wall? We're not suppose to talk about future Parts!

Fate: No... yeah, kinda. But listen it will be something, great. Beyond comprehension even, no doubt you will be dragged into it... you'll know it when you see it, I can only ask of you... please stay safe should that day come. The entire fate and destiny of humanity shall be put on the line, look to your heart and you shall see, clear as day.

Sam: Well how far away is this war?

Fate: Again, I can't tell you yet.

Sam: Well okay. Anything else you wanted to tell me?

Fate: (She starts blushing, but she looks down to the floor to hide her face) Well I was thinking maybe... if you're free this week... (She suddenly raises her head and tries to change the topic) would you like some coffee now, perhaps!?

Sam: Get to the point.

Fate: (She takes a deep breath) Would you go on a date with me, please!?

Sam: No. My schedule's pretty tight. I come home late at night, hell sometimes I don't even come home until the next day. So I'm pretty sure I can't fit a date in there... now if you don't mind, take me home, I wanna solve this teddy bear problem.

Fate: (Sighs due to disappointment) Fine...

(Fate snaps her fingers and Sam wakes up in the dumpster he landed in)

Sam: (Climbs out of the dumpster and starts dusting himself off) Alright... I gotta get out of here before they start carrying me around and fighting, like it's World War 3...

(Sam starts to walk through the back alley, but Annah finds him quickly)

Annah: There you are, Sam!!!

Sam: (Slowly walking backwards) Yeah... I'm Sam.

Annah: (Quickly picks Sam up) Well then let's get going!!!

Sam: (Thinking) Well there are "some" benefits... I hate being a teddy bear, nothing is worse than this well... except for watching Redo of Healer out of your own interest. 12 episodes of my life I ain't getting back! I really gotta stop making Redo of Healer references before someone sues me...

(Me, The Author: Please don't sue me! I just write this for fun!!! I mean nothing against Rui Tsukiyo, the author of Redo of Healer, nor do I mean anything against Redo of Healer in its entirety. I just like to make these little jokes that's all. Supports other's work and help them grow. Everyone is free to write and create whatever they want to. Although if you do decide to watch Redo of Healer, I recommend you be alone in your room, you have headphones on and you're using incognito tab. Totally not from personal experiences haha, please no one sue me...)

Annah: Now let's go home for a bit what do you say?

Sam: Yes please!

(Annah starts walking back home while holding Sam, with Sara silently following the both of them. Hopefully for Sam this spell can be quickly reversed, but Annah, Sara and Fate hope that this could last forever. How will this end? Find out in the next teddy-bear-action packed chapter of Karitori: Kuragari Part 1!!!)
