Little Yukimura / Teen Wolf

6: Katana

"A what?" I asked her confused, what in the world is a kitsune?

"It's a fox spirit, existed thirteen now five, I'm a thunder kitsune, and your grandma is a celestial kitsune-"

"Wait wait wait, grandma Noshiko is also a supernatural being?" I interrupted her and asked surprised

"Yup"

"Did not expect that" I mumbled and leaned on the couch

"What does a kitsune do exactly?" I asked her still curious

"As I said, it's a fox spirit, thirteen kinds only five of them left, celestial, thunder, water, fire and void. The void one is kind of a demon you don't want that, we have something called foxfire. It's when you learn to control your element, mine is thunder or electric. So lighting, electrical shock etc I can control things like that, that's my foxfire"

"Is that why the lights in our apartment always flickered when you got angry?" I asked her, she nodded

"Kitsunes also knows how to use a weapon, even if they never tried it before, they can master it just by trying it once" she pointed at her katana

"Got this katana from your grandma" she winked, I looked at her amazed.

"We can also live for one thousand years"

"Wait, one thousand years? How old are you now?" I asked her, she laughed

"I'm thirty three years old" she answered me

"You sure?" I dragged the last word, she nodded. I jumped up from the couch and stretched

"What are you doing?" She asked me

"Throw the katana to me, I want to see if I'm also a kitsune" she laughed

"What? Sorry for wanting to be cool" I huffed and crossed my arms

"Oh, so I'm cool" mom said with a teasing voice, I stuck my tongue out.

"Just throw it" I rolled my eyes, mom unbuckled her katana around her waist and straightened it

"Ready?" I nodded, she threw it over to me and I was able to get a grip around it but it slipped out of my hand and I stood there fumbling with it before the sword fell on the floor

"Looks like you are not a kitsune" mom laughed, I sighed.

"What a bummer, I wanted to be special" I frowned, mom picked up her katana and handed it to me

"You may not be one, but I can show you how to use this. It's not hard" she walked over to the couch and kneeled down searching for something, I stared at her in curiosity. What is she up to? She pulls out another katana from under the couch, my mouth dropped to the floor. When?

"This is yours, I was thinking to give it to you for your eighteenth birthday but you looked so sad just now so I figured it would be okey to give it to you now" she handed me the other one and I took it, it is in the perfect size

"Be careful okey? The blade is real" she told me, I nodded in excitement. Finally she is going to teach me how to use one

"Okey first you have to find the perfect spot for holding, the most comfortable way for you"

"Like this?"

"If you're comfortable that it's correct, and you see that small button? Push it down and the sword becomes a belt just like mine"

We stood there in many hours while mom teaches me how to fight, block etc. I picked up on it pretty fast, I may not be a kitsune but I'm not going to be just a normal human girl either. I'm going to be the badass human girl who can fight with a katana, awesome.
