Black Shonen: Random Adventures

The Intern

Markus Stan's fingers rushed over the keyboard as he tried to find a new spot for his office business. His company had been around for a while and he be damned if today was the day they were found out. Markus had over twenty families to protect, families that had nowhere to go. When Markus had headed for work today he noticed two twin boys from Los Perfecto's High following him, why? Someone was watching. Someone knew what Markus and his business were, a halfway house for demons.

"Sir."

Markus looked up at his secretary, his breath was ragged, and he could feel sweat forming due to his nervousness, "Yes, Marsha."

"Don't forget you have the intern today." Marsha responded.

"Intern?" Markus had nearly forgotten, he had agreed to an intern at Los Perfectos High, "It's today." Markus's hands ran through his brown hair, "Of course it be today, of course, it be Los Perfectos High."

"She's waiting." Marsha said, "She's such a little cutie and seems like she wants to learn."

Markus sighed, "Bring her in."

The secretary opened the door and a fair skin girl with long ponytails of red and black walked through, sporting the black and red sailor uniform of Los Perfecto's High.

The secretary smiled and closed the door as she left and Markus sighed again.

"I'm so excited to start my Intern!" said the young girl, "My name is Cookie Dough Cream in case you forgot, and your Markus Stan."

Markus nodded, maybe this wouldn't be too bad "So what are you looking for from this internship?"

"Well, I want to know what's the most important set of business here? How can I make office life exciting? I'm good at organization, I can help you with paperwork or I could just kill all of you demons right here!"

Markus felt his heart drop, this was a setup, the boys and her, he had only a few options to survive. The girl smiled and shook her arms, three pink needles fell from her sleeves and placed themselves into her tightening fist.

The young girl of five foot three stood up brandishing her weapons, "I'm going to murder everyone here then go play video games with my Isaac, so just sit there and let me stab you in all kinds of ways!"

Markus stood up and lunged at the girl, his fair flesh became rock solid and hardened, fangs of black iron burst from his mouth and spikes escaped his back. He crashed upon the girl and the two rolled upon the ground scratching and clawing one another. Cookie's right foot bashed into Markus's chest, sending him cratering into the wall. The two rapidly got to their feet. Markus threw a right punch but Cookie dived under it and stuck her needle-filled fist into the chest of the demon.

An innocent-sounding giggle came from the teenage girl as she saw green blood travel down the edges of her blades, "You can only hide so long." Cookie mocked.

With another kick, she sent the body of Markus Stan to the floor and opened his office door. She was met with office workers standing up from their cubicles and growling at her with crimson-filled eyes. Cookie danced and twirled as the demons came from her, needles scratched leathery flesh, claws reached for the teenager's throat, pink blades caused green blood to splash everywhere and when the violence was over one girl covered in bright green blood left the office building and sprinted for the alleyway.
