Ghoul Hunters: Part Two

(Koemi is standing by the phone, with a dark silhouette growing larger behind her. She picks the receiver up and listens. There is silence, so she sighs and throws the whole phone over her shoulder. It hits the figure directly in the face, and Koemi turns only at the sound of a heavy thud. She doesn't see the dark form of a person lying on the floor, but she does notice an empty hallway, where Kananno is supposed to be.)
Koemi: Kan? Find anything interesting? KAN?
(Slightly worried, but more curious, she slowly starts down the hallway, sliding her laser disc out. She peers into the first doorway, an empty bathroom, and is just about to turn away, when something catches her eye on the worn out carpet on the floor. A still wet, .deep crimson stain. She gasps and staggers back.)
Koemi: Kananno! Where are you!?! KAN!
(Quickly, she starts to race through every room in the house, throwing open cupboards in the bathroom, then racing into the two bedrooms and looking in the closets, and under the worn out mattresses, then racing into what she believed to have been the study and looking under the desk and behind the couch, even up in the fireplace. There is no sign of Kananno anywhere. Vexed, she starts to head back towards the front door, when she slams into someone. It's a very pale, disoriented Kananno. She doesn't seem to notice)
Koemi: Christ! I was looking everywhere for you! Didn't you hear me calling? What's wrong with you?
(Kananno tries to speak, but just manages a few syllables and then starts to fall over. Koemi catches him before he hits the ground)
Koemi: Kananno!! (She notices blood gushing from a wound on his neck as his head lulls to one side) Oh no! You've been bitten!
Kananno: (As if he was just seeing her; very weakly) Hey, Koe… I've been looking for you.
Koemi: Don't worry. I've got some of the antidote right in one of my pockets… just hold on.
(As she starts to search her pockets, a slightly red glow starts to flash across Kan's eyes, and his breathing begins to get heavy. She doesn't seem to notice, too intent on finding the antidote. It's not till Kan slowly sits up, his eyes gleaming a brilliant red, that she slowly lifts her face to his. He bares a pair of pointed fangs, just as Koemi pulls out a small glass bottle of neon blue liquid. It's in a glass bottle with a needle point sticking out of the nozzle.)
Koemi: Don't worry, Kan. You'll be ok in a minute. (As Kan lunges at her, she sticks the bottle into his shoulder. He lets out a cry and falls over backwards. He wriggles a moment on the floor, before lifting his head. He's back to normal.)
Kananno: Owe! What the hell did you just stick me with? (Notices the bottle, then snaps his head back up to hers) Are you kidding? I didn't turn… (Meekly) Is this a joke?
Koemi: (Releasing a long held breath) You're ok now. That's all that matters.
Kananno: (Almost yelling) That's not ALL that matters! Did I turn? Completely?! What kind of partner am I that I can't even trust my self not to eat you?!?
Koemi: Would you relax? I'm fine and you're fine. (Standing up and brushing herself off) C'mon. We have to get back up.
Kananno: Did I completely turn? Or was that just a precaution?
Koemi: (Almost regretfully) You completely changed. You were planning on making me your next meal. But you're ok now. So, come on!
(Kananno clambers to his feet, somberly. Suddenly, Koemi lets out a cry and throws the laser disc directly at him. Kananno just barely manages to move aside as the disc slices passed him)
Kananno: (Angrily) What the hell are you doing?!?
Koemi: (Motioning to the body laying on the ground a few inches behind her friend) Saving you from turning again….
