A Spider-Girl in Tokyo

Prologue: Hood and Wolf

"Hmmm... hmmm.. hmmm.." The soft humming voice of a girl could be heard within the small.. yet traditional home in Kyoto.. as a girl in a kimono knelt on the wooden floor and painted using a small calligraphy brush... 

Next to her, was an open book labeled "Little Red Riding Hood" in Japanese. 

The girl couldn't have been any more than 5 at the time.. she hummed cheerfully to herself some more.. as she dipped her brush and resumed painting.

Despite her age.. the character she painted with smooth skillful strokes was extremely beautiful..  

Her father, an elderly looking man who was bald with a wispy thin beard, smiled down at the girl, and whispered to his wife.. a black haired beautiful woman. "She's a natural."

"How long has she been doing this?" Asked the mother excitedly.

"Since this morning." the father whispered back. "I think she was watching me yesterday morning and she wanted to try it.."

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door interrupting their thoughts.. 

"Who could that be at this time of day?" said the mother with confusion. 

"I'll go see.." said the Father with a sigh. "Try and see if you can get a picture of her.. I need to capture this moment.."

The mother winked. "Well of course."

The man went over to the door, and slid it open (one of those japanese sliding doors that's glass and non-seethrough.. they have those..)

And on the other side.. were several men in suits wearing shades over their eyes, giving them a menacing look.

"Agent Jordan.. with SHIELD.." said one man showing his badge. "Mr. Yoshimura I presume?"

"SH-SHIELD?" said the father. "I don't understand... I've been making such progress!"

"We're shutting it down.." said the agent and his fellows, forcing their way past the man. "Our new director, Colonel Fury has determined that black magic is not something that should be considered in our pursuit of.. well.. you know.."

"NO! I don't understand!" stammered the man as agents started kicking down screen doors and carrying out various Japanese artifacts. "I poured my entire life into this- NO GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!"

"Sir.. we just need your family to come with us.. for protection.." said the agent as the others took the man by the shoulders.

"Honey! What's happening!" stammered the wife in japanese as several men began to force her to come with them.

And as this all happened... the girl stared in fear. "Wh-what are you doing with mama and papa!?"

"Kid.." Agent Jordan knelt next to the girl and held out a hand. "Don't worry, nothing bad's going to happen to them.

The girl gave the agent an extremely dark look.. Her eyes flashed as a shadowy tendril suddenly swirled up from  behind her and slapped the man's hand away..

There was a deathly silence.. as the agent stared at the girl.. his eyes wide beneath his glasses.. a bead of sweat dripping from his chin.

The father stopped struggling, and stared at his daughter. "Izumi?"

The girl stood up... and around her neck.. dangled a necklace that had a wooden pendant on which was carved several kanji characters.

"H-honey.. wh-where did you get that!?" the father stammered.

"From Papa's study.." said the girl.. her dark gaze not faltering. "It talks with me.. Mr. Wolf Talks with me.. Are you gonna leave my mama and papa alone now?"

More and more shadows began to swirl around the girl, as her gaze turned insane and livid.. and a red hood and cloak appeared on her shoulders. "If you don't.. Mr. Wolf will have to hurt you.."

The Little Red Riding Hood book was sent tumbling away as more vicious shadows began to carve themselves out of the wooden floor.. and a large.. menacing wolf-like shape began to form behind Izumi. 

The agents all took out their guns, pointing them at Izumi.

"NO.. DON'T!!" roared the father.

"They aren't listening to us Darling..." Wolf whispered, as the great shadowy beast towered above the agents.

"No they aren't Mr. Wolf.." whispered Izumi, her eyes turning dark and wrathful. "Make them let go of Mamma and papa... MAKE THEM LET GO!!!"

Wolf stepped forward, his shadowy claws making tears in the wood as shadowy drool dripped from his blackened fangs..  And he pounced...

Outside the house.. all that could be heard were gunshots, snarls.. and the sounds of agents screaming.. as the silhouette of blood splattered across the lit windows.

And then there was silence.. and sobbing.

Izumi knelt in a pool of blood.. everyone was dead around her.. including her own parents.

"N-no.." Izumi sobbed. "Th-this isn't what I wanted.. Th-this.. isn't... Mama.. Papa.. no.."

A shadowy clawed hand patted her shoulder. 

"There there.." Wolf whispered. "My darling Hood... You are not alone.. I will be your family now.."

"Y-you?" Whispered Izumi.

"Yes.. darling Hood.." Wolf continued to whisper. "You and me.. one big happy family.."

"Yes.." Izumi put on a tearful smile.. her eyes wide as the shadowy beast embraced her. "You and me Wolf... You.. and Me... eheheheh... .heheheheheheheh...
