"This looks just like me. This has to be my grandmother." Kira said.

"You remember, we told you about Malia? She's the last one who saw Stiles at Eichen House. This picture, and this-" Scott said as he held up a sword. "They found it with a body buried in a wall. The same backwards "5" that the Oni put on us was on the wall. It sounds like it all goes back to your family- your grandmother, your mom." Before Harlow and Kira could reply, Kira's phone went off making them look at her.

"What is it?" Harlow asked.

"My dad." Kira said.

Harlow, Scott and Kira quickly ran into the school and over to the history class where Noshiko was kneeling down next to her husband.

"Kira, did you bring it?" Noshiko asked, before Kira handed her a vial,

"You going to tell me what "it" is?" Kira asked.

"Reishi." Noshiko said.

"You're not seriously giving Dad magic mushrooms?" Kira said. The three watched as Noshiko feed a mushroom to her husband. They watched as he started coughing up blood, into a napkin.

"Are you okay?" Noshiko asked.

"Stiles did this?" Scott asked.

"He wanted the last kaiken." Noshiko said, holding up a dagger. "I've kept this near me ever since your friend disappeared."

"Mom, you need to talk to us- about everything." Kira said. Harlow pulled out the picture from earlier before handing it to Noshiko.

"Where did you get this?" Noshiko asked.

"Is it Grandma?" Kira asked.

"No... It's me." Noshiko said.

"If that's you, then you'd have to be, like, ninety years old." Scott said.

"Closer to nine hundred." Noshiko said.

"Okay. Sure. Why not?" Kira said. "Dad, how old are you?"

"Forty-three. But, I've been told I look mid-thirties." Mr. Yukimura said.Kira held out the sword and her mother grabbed it before breaking the chain as she pulled the handle away from the sheath, dumping out pieces of a broken katana.
