Void (The Youngest, Book 3.B.)

Chapter 十七 (B)

Mr. Yukimura was organizing and grading some tests over at his desk in the high school. School was out that day so he was enjoying the peace and quiet while he worked. But the peace and quiet was broken when he heard a slight buzzing noise. He looked around and noticed that it was coming from a fly. It was zipping around until it landed at the side of his desk. Mr. Yukimura went and took a text book and hovered over it before he went and slammed it down on the bug.

"Now, that is not nice at all," a child's voice commented.

The teacher's head snapped up and he noticed a little girl sitting on a desk, her little legs dangling up and down and a frown on her face even though she had a smile on her face.

"Coming in on a Saturday, now that's dedication."

Mr. Yukimura's gaze went to the door next and saw that it was Stiles. Or rather it was Stiles' body. He knew better to not let himself be deceived.

Stiles looked to the side. "Where's she hiding them?"

Mr. Yukimura shook his head. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

Stiles moved over to the bookshelf at the opposite side of the room. "Her little knives," he droned out as he went and took a book and threw it to the floor. "Daggers," he said throwing another book away. "I know what they are." He then threw the rest of the books down. "Physical representation of her tails." He then looked over at Yukimura to see that he was looking a bit nervous. "However the hell that works."

Kylie hopped off of the desk she sat on and slowly walked through the aisles of desk of the classroom, keeping her eyes on the teacher.

Mr. Yukimura swallowed his unease down as best he could and tried to appear undeterred. "Maybe you'd like to do some reading on it. I can direct you to the section on Japanese Myth in the library."

Stiles smiled. "No. No, I'd like to talk to you. The older the tail, the stronger the Oni, am I right? I know there's one left.
I know it's the strongest."

Stiles had gotten right in front of the desk and was staring at him with a mix of a glare and a smirk.

"Unfortunately, I don't know what you're reffering to," he insisted again.

"Oh," Stiles said before looking down. "You'll talk."

Mr. Yukimura followed his gaze to see Kylie grinning up at him. She then picked the book up and revealed the fly. It wasn't dead and as soon as it was free, it flew right into Mr. Yukimura's mouth.

Stiles watched as the teacher started to grab at his throat and try to cough and gag it out. "They always talk."

Scott showed Kira the photo. It was a black and white photo that had a guy in an old soldier's uniform with a girl in a dress. The girl in the photo is what drew their eye. The girl looked exactly like her. The hair and clothing style was different but it was without a doubt Kira.

"This looks just like me," Kira gasped. She then turned the photo around and saw that it was from 1943. "This has to be my grandmother."

"You remember I told you about Malia? She's the last one who saw Stiles and Kylie at Eichen House. This picture," he then moved to pull out a sword that Malia had given him. "And this. 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." But they were interrupted by Kira's phone beeping. "What is it?" he asked her when he saw her expression fall when she looked at it.
