Kitsunes
This is a story that I promised never to tell, but I am going to anyway. My name is Toeto Hasaki, and I am not a Kitsune, but I knew some. My whole high school story is about to unravel before your eyes, so be prepared.
In a school called Hanagasa high, there were a group of students that never really fit in. it seemed as if no one even knew their names. I walked Von them and got a good hard look at each one of them; the one named Ikuto had blue hair and brown eyes. The one named Amu had rosa hair and rosa eyes. The one named Rin had yellow hair and brown eyes, just like her twin, Len. Finny was the twins’ older brother, he had blue eyes and yellow hair. Kisa had orange hair and yellow eyes, and Nerine had green hair with brown eyes. Ikuto sensed my stares and looked at me. I gasped and quickly looked away. No one even knew their personality, so I didn’t know if they would get mad oder if they wouldn’t mind. The glocke rang and they all walked down the long hallway together, just as they did everyday. I followed after them. I had only been going to that school for about six months and I was anxious to see if I could find out anything about these mysterious outcasts. I ran into my class and sat in my seat. I felt stares on me. I looked up to see big brown eyes staring at me. I gasped and sat back in my seat. It was Ikuto. I wondered if he was mad at me for staring at him earlier. “Alright, now everyone team up with a partner.” sagte our teacher. I looked around the room and saw no one to pair up with, I had no friends. Then I saw something that surprised me; Ikuto was walking towards me. I looked at him in surprise. He sat Weiter to me and smiled. “I’m Ikuto.” He sagte to me. “I know- I mean, I didn’t mean it like that, I’m not a stalker!” I said. After I had realized what I said, I threw my head down on the desk. “Are Du alright?” he asked me. I looked up at him. “I am Toeto Hasaki.” I sagte to him holding out my hand. He looked at it for a moment then shacked it. “Pleasure to meet you, Miss Hasaki.” He said, smiling. His happy smile made me even happier that he was there with me. When class had ended, I quickly ran out the door. I ran into the bathroom and locked myself in there. I fell to the floor, smiling. Then, I saw a girl walk out of one of the stalls. It was the outcast named Rin. I stared at her. She stared at me. We both didn’t say a word. I smiled at her. She didn’t smile back. She walked past me and out the door. That was two outcasts that I had met today, and I had a goal to meet more. I rushed out the door to see if I could follow her; whenever one of them leaves, they always go back to the rest. I didn’t see her anywhere. “Miss Hasaki?” I heard someone say. I gasped and turned around. There stood Ikuto. I let out a nervous laugh. “Where were you?” he asked me. “Nowhere.” I said. He looked at the door beside me. “In there, perhaps?” he sagte as he pointed to the door. I blushed from embarrassment. “No!” I said. “It’s okay, I know it may seem strange because we have never really met before.” He said, laughing and smiling. “Everyone in the school says you’re an outcast.” I sagte as I looked down. He stared at me. I looked up quickly. “I didn’t mean it like that I- I’m so sorry.” I said. He laughed. “It is funny to see Du try so hard.” He said. I looked up at him. His beautiful eyes were closed, and he was smiling. I let out a little laugh then smiled too. Then Ikuto Lost his smile and looked beside him. “I have to go.” He said. I watched as he walked away. But did Du think that I was going to let him go away? No. I followed him. I hid behind a baum and watched as he walked up to a girl. She had green hair, brown eyes, and a green uniform on. It was Nerine. I listened to their conversation closely. “Ikuto, what were Du thinking?! If she finds out our secret, Du know it will be big trouble!” Nerine said. “She won’t know, I will make sure of that.” Ikuto replied. I had a confused look on my face. What secret were they talking about? Was there a reason why they were outcasts? Well, I was about to find out. They walked into the janitor’s closet. I ran over to the door and looked through the little round window. I gasped when I saw what I saw; Ikuto with the other outcasts, all of their eyes had turned feline, they each had a tail and cat ears. I widened my eyes. Nerine looked over at me. “Ikuto!” she yelled. Ikuto looked at her. She pointed over to me. I quickly ducked down. Just in time too, Ikuto didn’t see me. I sighed with relief. But my relief didn’t last. The door opened. Out came a normal Ikuto. I gasped. He looked at me. I stared at him waiting to know what he would do, what he would say. “Come in.” he said. I stood up and walked inside. Nerine glared at me. I could tell she didn’t like me. “There is no use in hiding it now.” sagte Ikuto. I looked up at him. “The reason we a re all outcasts is because we are Kitsunes.” He said. “What is a Kitsune?” I asked. “A Kitsune is a powerful half cat half human, so don’t think I’ll think twice about ripping your head off.” sagte Nerine. I looked at her with fear in my eyes. She laughed at my fear. “Nerine, stop it!” scolded Ikuto. “Miss Hasaki,” he added, “I am sorry for not telling you, but we can’t let anyone know our secret. I’m sure Du understand.” “Right.” I sagte as I nodded. I looked around the room and noticed something: Finny was missing. “Hey, where’s Finny?” I asked them. They all looked at me. “Finny moved to our uncles.” sagte Len. “Oh.” I said. Then they all walked out. The only one left was Amu. “Hi, I’m Amu.” She said. “Nice to meet you, I’m Toeto.” I said. “I know.” sagte Amu. When Amu started to walk out, I quickly stopped her. “I want Du to tell me all of their stories.” I said. She turned around and looked at me. “Really?” she asked. “Yes.” I said. She nodded. “Okay, who should we start with?” she asked me. “Ikuto.” I said. Amu looked down. “When Ikuto was younger he and Kisa were Home schooled,” she said. “Wait, Kisa?” I asked. “Yes, Kisa and Ikuto are siblings.” She said. “Oh, go on.” I said. “The reason they were Home schooled is because their mother didn’t want them to get picked on in school, but their mother never really loved them. She claimed that they were so adorable she wanted to keep them to herself, but she was really scared of them. When Ikuto was five and Kisa was one, their mother died. They went to her funeral and didn’t cry. Everyone judged them for it. That’s when Ikuto’s true side came out, they knew they could not stay in that village, so they left and came here.” “And that’s where they met you?” “Yes.” She said. “I want to hear about Finny next.” I said. “No one knows anything about Finny except for Len and Rin, but they don’t like to say anything about It.” she said. “Oh, how about Nerine?” I asked. “Nerine was an orphan and called a freak in the orphanage; her hate built up inside her and unleashed her flesh-eating side. She killed everyone who bullied her which was everyone. She then ran off and ended up here. Ikuto took her in and she kept the last name Hanate, which is our entire last name.” “I want to hear about Du now.” I said. “Alright,” she sagte with a pained look on her face, “When I was five, I went to a playground at night. It was here in Nagisa village, I have lived here all my life. When I went there, there was a mysterious man there, he seemed nice until the moment that…” she stopped. Tears started to fall from her eyes. I looked at her. “Hey, Du don’t have to talk about it if Du don’t want to.” I said. “No, I want too! Du asked for all of our stories, Du get them all!” she said. I smiled at her. “Until the moment he scratched me!” she said. “Scratched you?” I asked. “Yes, the way a Kitsune turns Du is Von scratching Du on a full moon night, that is what happened to me.” I walked up to her and hugged her. “I don’t remember him much; all I know is that he had orange hair and red eyes.” She added. I looked at her and a tear fell from my eye. “How about Len next?” she asked me. I nodded. “Len is the twin of Rin, he knows the entire past of his whole family which slowly made him go insane. Because of this, he can only copy what Du say as a response. He can get annoying at times, but just remember it is because of his condition.” I nodded. “There is only one left now; Rin.” I sagte to her. She looked at me. “Rin has the worst story of all.” She said. I looked at her in surprise. “I want to hear it.” I said. Amu nodded. “When Rin was a baby, she was left at our doorstep, same with Len. Ikuto agreed we should take them in, so we did. They have lived with us ever since. Rin used to be a little chatter box, and that annoyed our leader, Ichimoku. One day, Ichimoku sent for her. ‘You are such an annoyance.’ He had said. She then started talking and talking away. Du see, our leader, Ichimoku, has a really short temper, so Du can imagine how much this angered him. He got an angry look, and kicked Rin. She flung and hit the wall. She started to cry. He walked up to her again. ‘Maybe if Du didn’t talk so much I wouldn’t have to abuse you! You’re a disgrace!’ he had said. She looked up at him and begged him for forgiveness. That just made him angrier; he kicked, punched, and strangled her. When he was done, she fell to the floor, crying. ‘I hate you.’ He said. He kicked her again and walked away. She never talks now because she is afraid that if she does, she will be abused again. If she ever finds her voice, it will be a miracle.” Amu gasped. “I have gotten Lost in these memories.” She said. “I feel so bad for Rin, Du all have a devastating story, I am so sorry.” I sagte as I started to cry. Amu looked at me. “Those are all of our stories.” She said. “Thank you.” I sagte to her. She nodded. She then walked out of the room. I sat on a bucket, thinking about how their lives were so cruel. Just then, Ikuto walked in. “Are Du coming?” he asked me. “Where?” I asked. “Home with us, we can’t let Du go home, Du might tell someone, so Du have to live with us.” He replied. I widened my eyes. “Sure, I’m coming.” I said. I stood up and started walking with him. “Don’t I need to get some of my stuff from my house first?” I asked. “Nerine is right now.” He answered. “You don’t have a mother…or a father, do you?” he asked. “No.” I said. “So then no one will Frage Nerine’s presence.” He said. I looked up at him. “Right.” I said. He looked at me. “I’m sorry, but this is the way it has to be.” He said. “Oh, I understand.” I said. Ikuto nodded. “Where are all of the others?” I asked him. “They are all walking Home together.” He said. “Why not with us?” I asked. “They insisted that we walk Home together for some reason, I don’t know why.” He answered. I looked down. I think I did. “Ikuto, Amu told me about your mother, I’m so sorry.” He stopped walking. “What about her?” he asked. “It’s just so sad, I remember wanting my mom to live a long time, but she never got too.” I said. Ikuto looked at me with sad eyes. A tear fell from my eye. “Miss Hasaki, are Du alright?” he asked me. “Oh, yes I’m fine.” I said. The rest of the walk Home was silent. When we got there, everyone was waiting on the porch. It was a beautiful house with a beautiful garden. “Wow!” I sagte out loud. Ikuto smiled at me. “Where is Nerine?” he asked the others. “She’s upstairs getting a room ready for Toeto.” Amu said. “Oh, she doesn’t have to, I could’ve done it.” I said. I ran upstairs. There I found Nerine making my bed. “Nerine, Du don’t have to do that.” I said. “Yes, I do. Ikuto wants me too so I shall.” She said. “Oh, um, okay.” I said. “There.” She said. I looked up and saw that the bett was made. “Thank you, very much.” I said. She scoffed and walked past me. I looked around the room. It was beautiful. It had red curtains, blue walls, a white bed, a nice mirror with a bamboo frame, and a dark brown dresser. I flung down on the bed. I looked up at the ceiling. I was thinking about everything I had just found out about today. Everything from the secret being revealed to me, all of the Hanate’s stories, to now having to live with them. Just then I heard a scream. I ran down the stairs and saw Nerine and a girl with rosa and grey hair. “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to fright you, miss.” The girl said. “Stop it, just stop talking!” yelled Nerine. She began hitting the girl. I then thought about Rin’s past and how Ichimoku had abused her for talking so much. “Stop it!” I yelled. They both looked over at me. I fell to the floor. “Stop it. Just stop it.” I said. Nerine stared at me. The girl smiled at me. “Why should I?” asked Nerine. “Because she did nothing wrong.” I said. The girl continued to look at me. “She walked into the house as if she owned it!” Nerine yelled. “Maybe she didn’t know someone lived here!” I yelled back. “Well, why would she even be walking in an abandoned house anyway?!” Nerine asked me. “Stop it!” yelled the girl. We both looked over at her. The others then came running down. “What’s going on here?” asked Ikuto. “Who is that?” asks Amu. The girl stands up. Her hair almost touches the floor, he eyes are blue, and she has a purple dress on. “My name is Panty.” She says. We all stared at her. “Why are Du here?” asked Ikuto. “I am meeting my sister, Stocking, here. Is she here?” she asks. “No she’s not.” I said. Panty looked down. “Why would Du meet your sister here?” asked Ikuto. “You see, we didn’t know that someone lived here, when we first saw it, nobody lived here. We have always loved this house, so we agreed to meet here.” Panty said. “Oh.” Ikuto said. “If Du like Du can stay here until she gets here; I can go prepare a room for Du right now.” I said. Everyone gasped and stared at me. “No way!” sagte Nerine. “Hey, she just needs her sister, and when her sister does come, she can leave.” I argued. “I think Miss Hasaki is right, we shouldn’t kick her to the curb, and she probably doesn’t even have anywhere else to go.” sagte Ikuto. “That’s right.” Panty said. “Alright, we can let her stay, I don’t mind.” Kisa said. Rin nodded. Nerine looked around and scoffed. “Fine!” she yelled. Everyone looked at her. “I’ll be in my room.” She said, stomping up the stairs. “I’ll go get your room ready.” I said, hurrying up the stairs. I went into the guest bedroom and started making the bed. “You always mess things up!” I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Nerine standing in the doorway. “Nerine, what are Du doing?” I asked her. “You mess things up all the time, and I’m sick of it!” she yelled. I stared at her. She ran up to me and grabbed my hair. She flung me into the Wand and I fell to the floor. “Now don’t scream, if Du do, I will kill you.” “I won’t scream.” I said. She looked at me in surprise. “It must’ve been painful, being bullied your whole life. Du had to live with the pain and hurt all those years. Your pain, hatred, and sadness built up in Du all those years and Du finally caved in under all of its pressure. Now, Du want to make people suffer what you’ve suffered. Du have become this because of your hatred, your hatred created you.” Nerine stared at me. “My god…you get me!” she yelled. “Yes, I do. I got picked on when I first went to that school, I remember wanting to bully them because of my hatred. It was growing inside of me, becoming a burning pit inside of me.” For a moment, I saw Nerine tear up for me. “I’m going to go down stairs now.” I said, “I’ll tell them I bumped my head, okay?” Nerine nodded. I walked past her and down the stairs. “Miss Hasaki! What happened to your head?” Ikuto asked. “Oh, I just bumped my head.” I said. “I’ll go get some ice!” Ikuto said, running into the kitchen. “Oh no, Du don’t have to.” I said. “Are Du okay, sissy?” I heard someone say. I looked over to see Kisa. “Yes, I’m fine.” I said. She hugged me. “Kisa, what’s wrong?” I asked her. “I don’t want Du to get hurt anymore, you’re our Sissy.” She said. She began to cry. “Hey, hey.” I said, “Kisa, Du dry those tears.” She looked up at me and sniffled. “Here.” I sagte as I handed her a napkin. “Thank you.” She sagte taking it. “Miss Hasaki, here is your ice.” Ikuto said. “Really, I’m fine.” I said. “No, you’re not.” I heard someone say. I looked beside me and saw Panty. “Your room is ready.” I said. “Thank you, Toeto.” She said. I gasped. “How do Du know my name?” I asked. “They have told me about you.” She sagte pointing to all the Hanate’s. “Oh.” I said, smiling. Panty walked Von me and up the stairs. “Thank Du again for letting me stay here.” She said. “You’re welcome.” I said. She walked further up the stairs. I followed her up the stairs. Nerine bumped into her. Panty looked at her with an angry look. “Excuse me, what is your problem?” she asked her. Nerine looked at her. “You.” She said. Panty slapped Nerine and Nerine flew and hit the wall. I couldn’t believe how any human could have done that. I ran down to Ikuto. “Ikuto!” I yelled. He looked at me. “What is it, Miss Hasaki?’ he asked me. “It’s Nerine, she has been hurt!” I said. “What?!” he said, running up the stairs. I followed after him. I found Nerine crying in a corner. “Nerine!” I said, sitting Weiter to her. “It was her.” She said. “Who?” Ikuto asked. “Panty.” She said. He gasped and looked at me. “I saw it happen.” I said. “What?” he asked. “I did, I saw it happen.” I said. Nerine started crying again. I hugged her. “It’s okay.” I said. “She just hit me and I went flying.” She said. “Why don’t Du go get some rest.” I sagte to her. “Okay.” She said, standing up. She walked into her room. “Ikuto, come here.” I said. He walked with me. “What is it?” he asked me. “Panty easily hit her and she went flying, that isn’t normal. She’s not a human.” I said. “Well, she’s not a Kitsune.” He said. “No, she is something worse.” I said. Ikuto stared at me. “Like what?” he asked me. “I don’t know; let’s look around to see if we can find out anything.” I said. “You go to bed, it’s nighttime, Du need to get some rest, I’ll look around.” He said. “Okay.” I said. I walked to my room to go to sleep. When I woke up the Weiter morning, it was a sunny Saturday. I got up and got dressed. I walked downstairs. I stopped when I saw Panty. “Hello, Toeto.” She sagte to me. “Um, hi.” I said. “Miss Hasaki!” I heard someone yell. I saw Ikuto run down the stairs. He stopped when he saw Panty. “Hello, Panty.” He said. “Hello.” She said. “Ikuto, let’s go upstairs.” I said. We walked up the stairs. “What is it?” I asked him. “I found something in the attic.” He told me. I gasped. “Well, let me see.” I said. Ikuto nodded and opened the attic. He blew off some dust on a portrait. I looked at it. When I saw who it was, I gasped. “Panty.” I said. Ikuto nodded. I looked at the datum on the portrait. “But, this was in 1910, there’s no way…” I stopped. “She’s not alive.” He told me. “She’s a spirit.” I said. “Yes.” Ikuto said. “This must be the house she lived in when she was alive.” “Probably.” sagte Ikuto. “Anything about Stocking?” I asked him. “No, nothing. I know this might sound crazy but, I don’t think strumpf is real.” He told me. I gasped and looked at him. “But, if Stocking’s not real, then why is Panty here?” I asked him. “I don’t know.” sagte Ikuto. I backed up against the wall. “I’m going to find out.” I said. He looked at me. He nodded at me. I ran down the stairs. “Panty, why are Du here?!” I yelled. Panty looked at me. “I’m waiting for my sister.” She said. “I know strumpf doesn’t exist!” I said. “Yes, she does.” She argued. “Why are Du here?” I yelled to her. “Alright, Du want to know, I’ll Zeigen Du the whole truth!” she yelled to me. She then waved her arms and everything went black. Then, I saw a light. I ran towards it. “Congratulations, Toeto. Du did it, you’re here. Your reward…is the truth.” I heard a voice say. “When I was a little girl,” the voice said, “my sister, Stocking, was born. Every night, she would be the spirit at the parties, the one everyone loved. They all ignored me after she came into the picture. One night, I tried to be the spirit again. My parents scolded me for trying to take my sister’s spotlight. They locked me in a little dark room. They sagte I would stay there until I thought about what I did. After that, at every single party, I was always in that little dark room. One day, at my own birthday party, I was sent to that little dark room. That’s when my hatred and sadness grew inside of me to a point where I stopped breathing. I remember falling down on the floor, gasping for air, and looking through the crack in the door and seeing everyone laughing around my sister. That was my dieing image. A couple of hours later, when the party was over, my parents came in to check on me. strumpf came too. What they found was horrible; my dead mangled body, out of my eyes tears of blood, and not breathing. strumpf ran up to me and started to cry, but her tears were fake. A Monat later I got my revenge Von killing my mother and father, and setting my house on fire, killing Stocking. The Hanate house sits where mine used to be. I hated strumpf and I still do. That…is the truth.” I opened my eyes and I was back in the Hanate house. I saw Panty in front of me. “Why are Du meeting her here if Du hate her?” I asked. Panty looked down. Just then, a door opened behind me. I turned around to see a girl with blonde hair, green eyes, and a red dress. “Hello old home!” she said. The others heard her and came running down. Ikuto stopped when he saw the girl. She smirked. “Who is she?” he asked me. “Stocking.” I said. Ikuto gasped and looked at her. strumpf looked at me. “Panty, let’s take her to hell next.” She said. “No!” Panty yelled. She got in front of me. “I am sorry for all of this, we will leave now.” She says. They both then disappear. “Ikuto, Du were right, they were both dead.” I sagte to him. “Miss Hasaki, are all right?” he asked me. “I’m fine.” I said. “So, she is gone now for good?” asked Nerine. “Yes.” I said. “Yay!” sagte Amu. “She creeped us all out.” She added. “Yes.” I sagte as I nodded. Ikuto looked over at me in worry. I walked upstairs. I flopped back down on my bed. “Revenge!” that word of Panty’s swirled around in my head constantly. I then closed my eyes and feel asleep. I woke up the Weiter morning. I walked outside. It was raining. I got dressed and walked to the kitchen. “Good morning.” sagte a happy-faced Ikuto. “Good morning.” I sagte to him. I heard someone walking down the stairs. I looked behind me and saw Nerine. “Good morning, Nerine.” I said. She looked at me. She rolled her eyes and walked away. The rest of the Tag was pretty peaceful. After dinner, Nerine walked up to Ikuto’s room. “Ikuto,” she said, “Please, get rid of her!” Ikuto looked at her. “No, she has to stay with us!” he argued. “You just don’t care about my feelings!” she said. She ran outside. I watched as Ikuto ran after her. All of the others ran down to see what was happening too. Nerine fell to the muddy ground. It was still raining. “Everyone, get to your room for safety!” yelled Len. They all ran up to their rooms except for Rin. She tugged on my shirt. I looked down to her. “What is it?” I asked her. She pointed over to Ikuto. “What?” I asked. She started to tear up. “Rin, what’s wrong?” I asked her. She ran up the stairs and went into her room. I opened the door and walked out to see what was going on. “Nerine, is everything okay?” I asked Nerine. She looked up at me. “Toeto, please go back inside, I am going to Zeigen Du the true form of Ikuto.” She sagte to me. I looked at her in confusion. “Go, now!” she yelled to me. She then pushed me back inside and locked the door. “Let me out!” I yelled as I banged on the glass. “You’re pathetic,” she sagte to him, “You always will be.” He stared at her with anger in his eyes. She started to kreis around him. I looked up and saw Kisa watching through her window. “Nerine, stop.” sagte Ikuto. She chuckled. “Never.” She whispered to him. “Don’t get to mad, Du know what happens to Du when Du get mad, Ikuto.” She sagte to him. He scoffed. “I am going to kill Toeto now, don’t try and stop me.” She said, walking towards the door. I gasped and backed up. “No!” he yelled. He lunged towards Nerine. I heard him roar. I gasped. He pushed her in the mud. “Ikuto.” She sagte to him. When he turned around, I saw what his true form was for the first time: his skin had turned blue, his eyes were glowing yellow, he no longer had hair but two big pointy cat ears, and a long blue tail. I broke the door and ran outside. “Ikuto!” I yelled to him. He turned around and looked at me. Then, he took off running. I watched him go. “Now Du have seen his true form, does it frighten you? If Du truly Liebe him, it shouldn’t.” Nerine said. I looked down at her then ran after him. “Ikuto.” She said. I ran and dodged every branch in the forest Von their house. That is where he had ran. “Ikuto!” I called out. Hearing no answer, I ran further. I then tripped and fell Von a tree. I sat down, crying. It started to rain harder. I remember thinking that I was useless. Just then I heard Amu gasp. I looked up to see her and Rin. I looked back down. “Oh, Toeto!” sagte Amu running up to me. Rin then bolted in front of her and pushed her away. “What was that for?” Amu said. Rin just looked up at her. Amu ran towards me again. Rin pushed her again. “Rin!” yelled Amu. She tried again. Rin pushed her. “Stop it!” yelled Amu. For the last time, she ran towards me. Rin pushed her out of the way again. When Amu got up, Rin wrapped her arms around her and wouldn’t let Amu move. “Let go of me, Rin!” she yelled. Then, something incredible happened. “You can’t comfort Toeto right now!” I gasped and looked up. Amu gasped and looked at Rin. “You can’t!” Rin yelled. She had found her voice again. Rin started to cry. She pushed Amu to the muddy ground. “Toeto, get up!” Rin yelled to me. I looked down. “Now, Toeto!” she yelled again. “Stop it, Rin!” yelled Amu. She ran towards me. Rin pushed her out of the way. Amu glared at Rin. “Go Toeto!” she yelled to me. Amu tried to run towards me again. Rin grabbed her and held her in place. “You have somewhere Du need to be, Toeto. So go!” she yelled. “Hey, Hey let go of me!” sagte Amu. “We can’t comfort Du now, Toeto. All we can do is tell Du to go. So go, go!” Rin yelled to me. I slowly stood up. I looked at them and then I started walking away into the fog. Rin then let Amu go. “Toeto.” Amu said. Rin then fell to the ground. “Why?!” she yelled. I walked further into the wet, muddy forest. I had no shoes on. A tear fell from my eye. I then heard a roar. I walked in the direction of it. Through the trees, I could see a big blue cat like creature. I stopped walking and looked up at it. It looked at me and growled. “Come with me, Ikuto. Please.” I sagte to him. He roared. He swung his arm at me and I grabbed it. He swung it around, trying to get me off. “Please!” I yelled to him. He looked at me. “I don’t want to lose you; I have Lost so many other people. Du and the others are all I have left.” I said, “Please, just come Home with me.” I begged. His eyes turned soft. “I don’t want to lose Du either.” He said. I looked up to see the real Ikuto. “You’re all I have left.” He said. A tear fell from my eye. I stood up beside him. I hugged him. “Don’t ever do that again, please.” I said. He hugged me back. “I wont.” He said. “Ikuto!” we heard somebody yell. We looked over to see Rin, Amu, and Len. They were carrying something. “She’s not breathing!” we heard Amu yell. We both ran over to them. Ikuto gasped and fell to the ground. They were holding Kisa. “Kisa!” he yelled. He checked her pulse. I stared at him. “Kisa, no!” he yelled. He began to tear up. “Did Du know?” asked Rin. Ikuto looked up towards her. “Know what?” he asked her. “If the sister of the one who is cursed Von the true form sees her brother transform, she has to die. Kisa knew this.” sagte Rin. “Then why didn’t she look away?” asked Ikuto. Rin looked down. “Curiosity is a strong thing.” sagte Rin. A tear fell from his eye. “Let’s get her back home.” He said. They picked Kisa up and started walking home. A tear fell from my eye and I started walking with them. I had noticed that is stopped raining. When we got to the house, I found Nerine sitting in a corner, covered in mud. “I didn’t know.” She said. I looked away and walked back inside. “Lay her down in her room.” sagte Ikuto. Rin nodded and took her up to her room. I sat down at the tabelle and started crying. “You should go get changed.” I heard a voice say. I looked up and saw an 18 Jahr old boy with black hair, a black shirt, and jeans. “Who are you?” I asked him. He chuckled. “My name is Ichimoku.” He said. I gasped and stood up. I stared at him wide eyed. “What’s wrong?” he says, walking up to me. He wiped a tear from my eye. “Kisa, she’s…” Ichimoku interrupted. “I know, that is why I have come.” He said. “Ichimoku!” I heard someone yell. We both looked over to see Ikuto. “Hello, Ikuto.” sagte Ichimoku. Ikuto stared at him. Ichimoku chuckled. “Where is your sister?” he asked him. Ikuto gasped and looked at him. “I can save her.” He said. Ikuto looked at him in surprise. Ichimoku walked up the stairs toward Kisa’s room. Everyone ran quickly up the stairs. “Ichimoku, don’t!” yelled Ikuto bolting through Kisa’s bedroom door. We saw Kisa standing Von her window. “Kisa.” sagte Ikuto. “I am now to be known as Kichimoku.” She said. Ikuto gasped and looked at her. Ichimoku had put his soul into hers. Ikuto walked down the stairs with a sad look on his face. I followed him. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs. “What’s wrong?” I asked him. “That isn’t my sister up there that is just a Kisa look-a-like!” I gasped. He was right. That wasn’t Kisa. It was Ichimoku in her body. He had created Kichimoku. I rubbed his back. “It’s okay.” I sagte to him. Just then, Nerine walked in. “I saw Ichimoku walk in, what does he want?” she asked us. “He took over Kisa’s body, bringing her back to life. She is now called Kichimoku.” I sagte to Nerine. She gasped and ran up the stairs. That’s when Amu walked down. “Kichimoku sagte that she wants to go to the river so that everyone will forget about the sadness.” She said. Ikuto nodded. I went to go change my clothes. When I came back down, everyone was ready and waiting for me. I smiled at all of them and walked out the door. They led me to a river with a waterfall. “Come on!” sagte Amu getting in a canoe. I looked at her. “But if we do that, the current will pick us up.” I said. “Don’t worry; we do this all the time. Of course we do destroy a lot of canoes this way.” sagte Amu. I got into the canoe. Everyone did besides Ikuto. He was starring into the forest. “Ikuto, what is it?” asked Kichimoku. “Kyo.” sagte Ikuto. Everyone gasped and looked at him. “Who is Kyo?” I asked them. “Kyo is mad because we sent him away, he wanted to be part of the Hanate Kitsunes, but we sent him away because he left the Murogi Kitsunes.” sagte Kichimoku. All of a sudden, a person with orange hair and brown eyes jumped out. “Revenge.” He said. “Amu, go now!” yelled Ikuto. Amu picked up a paddle and rowed us down the waterfall. I quickly got out of the water and looked up to watch the fight. Kyo let out a chuckle. “Don’t get too mad.” He said. Ikuto gasped and looked down at me. “She accepts me.” He said. He then began to growl. I have to stop him from changing into his true form. Thought Kyo. He then took out a sword. “Ikuto.” I said. Kyo looked at Ikuto. He then stabbed Ikuto in the chest with his sword. “Ikuto, no!” I yelled. Ikuto’s eyes widened and his life flashed before his eyes. Kyo smirked. He then quickly pulled the sword out. Ikuto walked towards the waterfall. He looked down at me then fell down the waterfall. “Ikuto!” I yelled. I taube into the water and saved him. I leaned him against a rock. I looked at him. “Ikuto, are you...” he didn’t answer and kept staring ahead. “You mean everything you’ve done…no, everything we’ve done together…it’s all going to go to waste?!” I said. He kept on staring. I began to cry and hugged him. That’s when Ichimoku let the real Kisa out again. “Big brother!” she yelled, running up to Ikuto. I grabbed his hand. I looked up to see Kyo walk away into the forest. “I am sorry for all of the grief I have caused you, this is all my fault.” sagte Ichimoku. I looked at him and saw him walk into the forest. I looked back down at Ikuto. His eyes were still open. “Ikuto.” I said. He then sagte his last words; “yes…everything…we’ve done…together…is going…to…” he then closed his eyes. I looked at him. “You can’t leave me, Du can’t, please open your eyes Ikuto please! No!” I said. “Please open your eyes big brother please!” yelled Kisa. “No!” we both yelled and cried.
Well Ikuto, the world has gotten a lot better since that eventful day. Everyone has gone their own way, living in different places. The only ones left in this house are me and Kisa. Ichimoku still lives in his little hut in the middle of the forest. I told him he should Bewegen in with us, he sagte soon maybe. You’re probably laughing right now how Du had something to do with making our lives better. Even so, we still have a lot of problems to figure out for ourselves. I, Toeto Hasaki know this; I will never forget you. So please don’t forget us, and we won’t forget you…ever.
The end.
This is a story that I promised never to tell, but I am going to anyway. My name is Toeto Hasaki, and I am not a Kitsune, but I knew some. My whole high school story is about to unravel before your eyes, so be prepared.
In a school called Hanagasa high, there were a group of students that never really fit in. it seemed as if no one even knew their names. I walked Von them and got a good hard look at each one of them; the one named Ikuto had blue hair and brown eyes. The one named Amu had rosa hair and rosa eyes. The one named Rin had yellow hair and brown eyes, just like her twin, Len. Finny was the twins’ older brother, he had blue eyes and yellow hair. Kisa had orange hair and yellow eyes, and Nerine had green hair with brown eyes. Ikuto sensed my stares and looked at me. I gasped and quickly looked away. No one even knew their personality, so I didn’t know if they would get mad oder if they wouldn’t mind. The glocke rang and they all walked down the long hallway together, just as they did everyday. I followed after them. I had only been going to that school for about six months and I was anxious to see if I could find out anything about these mysterious outcasts. I ran into my class and sat in my seat. I felt stares on me. I looked up to see big brown eyes staring at me. I gasped and sat back in my seat. It was Ikuto. I wondered if he was mad at me for staring at him earlier. “Alright, now everyone team up with a partner.” sagte our teacher. I looked around the room and saw no one to pair up with, I had no friends. Then I saw something that surprised me; Ikuto was walking towards me. I looked at him in surprise. He sat Weiter to me and smiled. “I’m Ikuto.” He sagte to me. “I know- I mean, I didn’t mean it like that, I’m not a stalker!” I said. After I had realized what I said, I threw my head down on the desk. “Are Du alright?” he asked me. I looked up at him. “I am Toeto Hasaki.” I sagte to him holding out my hand. He looked at it for a moment then shacked it. “Pleasure to meet you, Miss Hasaki.” He said, smiling. His happy smile made me even happier that he was there with me. When class had ended, I quickly ran out the door. I ran into the bathroom and locked myself in there. I fell to the floor, smiling. Then, I saw a girl walk out of one of the stalls. It was the outcast named Rin. I stared at her. She stared at me. We both didn’t say a word. I smiled at her. She didn’t smile back. She walked past me and out the door. That was two outcasts that I had met today, and I had a goal to meet more. I rushed out the door to see if I could follow her; whenever one of them leaves, they always go back to the rest. I didn’t see her anywhere. “Miss Hasaki?” I heard someone say. I gasped and turned around. There stood Ikuto. I let out a nervous laugh. “Where were you?” he asked me. “Nowhere.” I said. He looked at the door beside me. “In there, perhaps?” he sagte as he pointed to the door. I blushed from embarrassment. “No!” I said. “It’s okay, I know it may seem strange because we have never really met before.” He said, laughing and smiling. “Everyone in the school says you’re an outcast.” I sagte as I looked down. He stared at me. I looked up quickly. “I didn’t mean it like that I- I’m so sorry.” I said. He laughed. “It is funny to see Du try so hard.” He said. I looked up at him. His beautiful eyes were closed, and he was smiling. I let out a little laugh then smiled too. Then Ikuto Lost his smile and looked beside him. “I have to go.” He said. I watched as he walked away. But did Du think that I was going to let him go away? No. I followed him. I hid behind a baum and watched as he walked up to a girl. She had green hair, brown eyes, and a green uniform on. It was Nerine. I listened to their conversation closely. “Ikuto, what were Du thinking?! If she finds out our secret, Du know it will be big trouble!” Nerine said. “She won’t know, I will make sure of that.” Ikuto replied. I had a confused look on my face. What secret were they talking about? Was there a reason why they were outcasts? Well, I was about to find out. They walked into the janitor’s closet. I ran over to the door and looked through the little round window. I gasped when I saw what I saw; Ikuto with the other outcasts, all of their eyes had turned feline, they each had a tail and cat ears. I widened my eyes. Nerine looked over at me. “Ikuto!” she yelled. Ikuto looked at her. She pointed over to me. I quickly ducked down. Just in time too, Ikuto didn’t see me. I sighed with relief. But my relief didn’t last. The door opened. Out came a normal Ikuto. I gasped. He looked at me. I stared at him waiting to know what he would do, what he would say. “Come in.” he said. I stood up and walked inside. Nerine glared at me. I could tell she didn’t like me. “There is no use in hiding it now.” sagte Ikuto. I looked up at him. “The reason we a re all outcasts is because we are Kitsunes.” He said. “What is a Kitsune?” I asked. “A Kitsune is a powerful half cat half human, so don’t think I’ll think twice about ripping your head off.” sagte Nerine. I looked at her with fear in my eyes. She laughed at my fear. “Nerine, stop it!” scolded Ikuto. “Miss Hasaki,” he added, “I am sorry for not telling you, but we can’t let anyone know our secret. I’m sure Du understand.” “Right.” I sagte as I nodded. I looked around the room and noticed something: Finny was missing. “Hey, where’s Finny?” I asked them. They all looked at me. “Finny moved to our uncles.” sagte Len. “Oh.” I said. Then they all walked out. The only one left was Amu. “Hi, I’m Amu.” She said. “Nice to meet you, I’m Toeto.” I said. “I know.” sagte Amu. When Amu started to walk out, I quickly stopped her. “I want Du to tell me all of their stories.” I said. She turned around and looked at me. “Really?” she asked. “Yes.” I said. She nodded. “Okay, who should we start with?” she asked me. “Ikuto.” I said. Amu looked down. “When Ikuto was younger he and Kisa were Home schooled,” she said. “Wait, Kisa?” I asked. “Yes, Kisa and Ikuto are siblings.” She said. “Oh, go on.” I said. “The reason they were Home schooled is because their mother didn’t want them to get picked on in school, but their mother never really loved them. She claimed that they were so adorable she wanted to keep them to herself, but she was really scared of them. When Ikuto was five and Kisa was one, their mother died. They went to her funeral and didn’t cry. Everyone judged them for it. That’s when Ikuto’s true side came out, they knew they could not stay in that village, so they left and came here.” “And that’s where they met you?” “Yes.” She said. “I want to hear about Finny next.” I said. “No one knows anything about Finny except for Len and Rin, but they don’t like to say anything about It.” she said. “Oh, how about Nerine?” I asked. “Nerine was an orphan and called a freak in the orphanage; her hate built up inside her and unleashed her flesh-eating side. She killed everyone who bullied her which was everyone. She then ran off and ended up here. Ikuto took her in and she kept the last name Hanate, which is our entire last name.” “I want to hear about Du now.” I said. “Alright,” she sagte with a pained look on her face, “When I was five, I went to a playground at night. It was here in Nagisa village, I have lived here all my life. When I went there, there was a mysterious man there, he seemed nice until the moment that…” she stopped. Tears started to fall from her eyes. I looked at her. “Hey, Du don’t have to talk about it if Du don’t want to.” I said. “No, I want too! Du asked for all of our stories, Du get them all!” she said. I smiled at her. “Until the moment he scratched me!” she said. “Scratched you?” I asked. “Yes, the way a Kitsune turns Du is Von scratching Du on a full moon night, that is what happened to me.” I walked up to her and hugged her. “I don’t remember him much; all I know is that he had orange hair and red eyes.” She added. I looked at her and a tear fell from my eye. “How about Len next?” she asked me. I nodded. “Len is the twin of Rin, he knows the entire past of his whole family which slowly made him go insane. Because of this, he can only copy what Du say as a response. He can get annoying at times, but just remember it is because of his condition.” I nodded. “There is only one left now; Rin.” I sagte to her. She looked at me. “Rin has the worst story of all.” She said. I looked at her in surprise. “I want to hear it.” I said. Amu nodded. “When Rin was a baby, she was left at our doorstep, same with Len. Ikuto agreed we should take them in, so we did. They have lived with us ever since. Rin used to be a little chatter box, and that annoyed our leader, Ichimoku. One day, Ichimoku sent for her. ‘You are such an annoyance.’ He had said. She then started talking and talking away. Du see, our leader, Ichimoku, has a really short temper, so Du can imagine how much this angered him. He got an angry look, and kicked Rin. She flung and hit the wall. She started to cry. He walked up to her again. ‘Maybe if Du didn’t talk so much I wouldn’t have to abuse you! You’re a disgrace!’ he had said. She looked up at him and begged him for forgiveness. That just made him angrier; he kicked, punched, and strangled her. When he was done, she fell to the floor, crying. ‘I hate you.’ He said. He kicked her again and walked away. She never talks now because she is afraid that if she does, she will be abused again. If she ever finds her voice, it will be a miracle.” Amu gasped. “I have gotten Lost in these memories.” She said. “I feel so bad for Rin, Du all have a devastating story, I am so sorry.” I sagte as I started to cry. Amu looked at me. “Those are all of our stories.” She said. “Thank you.” I sagte to her. She nodded. She then walked out of the room. I sat on a bucket, thinking about how their lives were so cruel. Just then, Ikuto walked in. “Are Du coming?” he asked me. “Where?” I asked. “Home with us, we can’t let Du go home, Du might tell someone, so Du have to live with us.” He replied. I widened my eyes. “Sure, I’m coming.” I said. I stood up and started walking with him. “Don’t I need to get some of my stuff from my house first?” I asked. “Nerine is right now.” He answered. “You don’t have a mother…or a father, do you?” he asked. “No.” I said. “So then no one will Frage Nerine’s presence.” He said. I looked up at him. “Right.” I said. He looked at me. “I’m sorry, but this is the way it has to be.” He said. “Oh, I understand.” I said. Ikuto nodded. “Where are all of the others?” I asked him. “They are all walking Home together.” He said. “Why not with us?” I asked. “They insisted that we walk Home together for some reason, I don’t know why.” He answered. I looked down. I think I did. “Ikuto, Amu told me about your mother, I’m so sorry.” He stopped walking. “What about her?” he asked. “It’s just so sad, I remember wanting my mom to live a long time, but she never got too.” I said. Ikuto looked at me with sad eyes. A tear fell from my eye. “Miss Hasaki, are Du alright?” he asked me. “Oh, yes I’m fine.” I said. The rest of the walk Home was silent. When we got there, everyone was waiting on the porch. It was a beautiful house with a beautiful garden. “Wow!” I sagte out loud. Ikuto smiled at me. “Where is Nerine?” he asked the others. “She’s upstairs getting a room ready for Toeto.” Amu said. “Oh, she doesn’t have to, I could’ve done it.” I said. I ran upstairs. There I found Nerine making my bed. “Nerine, Du don’t have to do that.” I said. “Yes, I do. Ikuto wants me too so I shall.” She said. “Oh, um, okay.” I said. “There.” She said. I looked up and saw that the bett was made. “Thank you, very much.” I said. She scoffed and walked past me. I looked around the room. It was beautiful. It had red curtains, blue walls, a white bed, a nice mirror with a bamboo frame, and a dark brown dresser. I flung down on the bed. I looked up at the ceiling. I was thinking about everything I had just found out about today. Everything from the secret being revealed to me, all of the Hanate’s stories, to now having to live with them. Just then I heard a scream. I ran down the stairs and saw Nerine and a girl with rosa and grey hair. “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to fright you, miss.” The girl said. “Stop it, just stop talking!” yelled Nerine. She began hitting the girl. I then thought about Rin’s past and how Ichimoku had abused her for talking so much. “Stop it!” I yelled. They both looked over at me. I fell to the floor. “Stop it. Just stop it.” I said. Nerine stared at me. The girl smiled at me. “Why should I?” asked Nerine. “Because she did nothing wrong.” I said. The girl continued to look at me. “She walked into the house as if she owned it!” Nerine yelled. “Maybe she didn’t know someone lived here!” I yelled back. “Well, why would she even be walking in an abandoned house anyway?!” Nerine asked me. “Stop it!” yelled the girl. We both looked over at her. The others then came running down. “What’s going on here?” asked Ikuto. “Who is that?” asks Amu. The girl stands up. Her hair almost touches the floor, he eyes are blue, and she has a purple dress on. “My name is Panty.” She says. We all stared at her. “Why are Du here?” asked Ikuto. “I am meeting my sister, Stocking, here. Is she here?” she asks. “No she’s not.” I said. Panty looked down. “Why would Du meet your sister here?” asked Ikuto. “You see, we didn’t know that someone lived here, when we first saw it, nobody lived here. We have always loved this house, so we agreed to meet here.” Panty said. “Oh.” Ikuto said. “If Du like Du can stay here until she gets here; I can go prepare a room for Du right now.” I said. Everyone gasped and stared at me. “No way!” sagte Nerine. “Hey, she just needs her sister, and when her sister does come, she can leave.” I argued. “I think Miss Hasaki is right, we shouldn’t kick her to the curb, and she probably doesn’t even have anywhere else to go.” sagte Ikuto. “That’s right.” Panty said. “Alright, we can let her stay, I don’t mind.” Kisa said. Rin nodded. Nerine looked around and scoffed. “Fine!” she yelled. Everyone looked at her. “I’ll be in my room.” She said, stomping up the stairs. “I’ll go get your room ready.” I said, hurrying up the stairs. I went into the guest bedroom and started making the bed. “You always mess things up!” I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Nerine standing in the doorway. “Nerine, what are Du doing?” I asked her. “You mess things up all the time, and I’m sick of it!” she yelled. I stared at her. She ran up to me and grabbed my hair. She flung me into the Wand and I fell to the floor. “Now don’t scream, if Du do, I will kill you.” “I won’t scream.” I said. She looked at me in surprise. “It must’ve been painful, being bullied your whole life. Du had to live with the pain and hurt all those years. Your pain, hatred, and sadness built up in Du all those years and Du finally caved in under all of its pressure. Now, Du want to make people suffer what you’ve suffered. Du have become this because of your hatred, your hatred created you.” Nerine stared at me. “My god…you get me!” she yelled. “Yes, I do. I got picked on when I first went to that school, I remember wanting to bully them because of my hatred. It was growing inside of me, becoming a burning pit inside of me.” For a moment, I saw Nerine tear up for me. “I’m going to go down stairs now.” I said, “I’ll tell them I bumped my head, okay?” Nerine nodded. I walked past her and down the stairs. “Miss Hasaki! What happened to your head?” Ikuto asked. “Oh, I just bumped my head.” I said. “I’ll go get some ice!” Ikuto said, running into the kitchen. “Oh no, Du don’t have to.” I said. “Are Du okay, sissy?” I heard someone say. I looked over to see Kisa. “Yes, I’m fine.” I said. She hugged me. “Kisa, what’s wrong?” I asked her. “I don’t want Du to get hurt anymore, you’re our Sissy.” She said. She began to cry. “Hey, hey.” I said, “Kisa, Du dry those tears.” She looked up at me and sniffled. “Here.” I sagte as I handed her a napkin. “Thank you.” She sagte taking it. “Miss Hasaki, here is your ice.” Ikuto said. “Really, I’m fine.” I said. “No, you’re not.” I heard someone say. I looked beside me and saw Panty. “Your room is ready.” I said. “Thank you, Toeto.” She said. I gasped. “How do Du know my name?” I asked. “They have told me about you.” She sagte pointing to all the Hanate’s. “Oh.” I said, smiling. Panty walked Von me and up the stairs. “Thank Du again for letting me stay here.” She said. “You’re welcome.” I said. She walked further up the stairs. I followed her up the stairs. Nerine bumped into her. Panty looked at her with an angry look. “Excuse me, what is your problem?” she asked her. Nerine looked at her. “You.” She said. Panty slapped Nerine and Nerine flew and hit the wall. I couldn’t believe how any human could have done that. I ran down to Ikuto. “Ikuto!” I yelled. He looked at me. “What is it, Miss Hasaki?’ he asked me. “It’s Nerine, she has been hurt!” I said. “What?!” he said, running up the stairs. I followed after him. I found Nerine crying in a corner. “Nerine!” I said, sitting Weiter to her. “It was her.” She said. “Who?” Ikuto asked. “Panty.” She said. He gasped and looked at me. “I saw it happen.” I said. “What?” he asked. “I did, I saw it happen.” I said. Nerine started crying again. I hugged her. “It’s okay.” I said. “She just hit me and I went flying.” She said. “Why don’t Du go get some rest.” I sagte to her. “Okay.” She said, standing up. She walked into her room. “Ikuto, come here.” I said. He walked with me. “What is it?” he asked me. “Panty easily hit her and she went flying, that isn’t normal. She’s not a human.” I said. “Well, she’s not a Kitsune.” He said. “No, she is something worse.” I said. Ikuto stared at me. “Like what?” he asked me. “I don’t know; let’s look around to see if we can find out anything.” I said. “You go to bed, it’s nighttime, Du need to get some rest, I’ll look around.” He said. “Okay.” I said. I walked to my room to go to sleep. When I woke up the Weiter morning, it was a sunny Saturday. I got up and got dressed. I walked downstairs. I stopped when I saw Panty. “Hello, Toeto.” She sagte to me. “Um, hi.” I said. “Miss Hasaki!” I heard someone yell. I saw Ikuto run down the stairs. He stopped when he saw Panty. “Hello, Panty.” He said. “Hello.” She said. “Ikuto, let’s go upstairs.” I said. We walked up the stairs. “What is it?” I asked him. “I found something in the attic.” He told me. I gasped. “Well, let me see.” I said. Ikuto nodded and opened the attic. He blew off some dust on a portrait. I looked at it. When I saw who it was, I gasped. “Panty.” I said. Ikuto nodded. I looked at the datum on the portrait. “But, this was in 1910, there’s no way…” I stopped. “She’s not alive.” He told me. “She’s a spirit.” I said. “Yes.” Ikuto said. “This must be the house she lived in when she was alive.” “Probably.” sagte Ikuto. “Anything about Stocking?” I asked him. “No, nothing. I know this might sound crazy but, I don’t think strumpf is real.” He told me. I gasped and looked at him. “But, if Stocking’s not real, then why is Panty here?” I asked him. “I don’t know.” sagte Ikuto. I backed up against the wall. “I’m going to find out.” I said. He looked at me. He nodded at me. I ran down the stairs. “Panty, why are Du here?!” I yelled. Panty looked at me. “I’m waiting for my sister.” She said. “I know strumpf doesn’t exist!” I said. “Yes, she does.” She argued. “Why are Du here?” I yelled to her. “Alright, Du want to know, I’ll Zeigen Du the whole truth!” she yelled to me. She then waved her arms and everything went black. Then, I saw a light. I ran towards it. “Congratulations, Toeto. Du did it, you’re here. Your reward…is the truth.” I heard a voice say. “When I was a little girl,” the voice said, “my sister, Stocking, was born. Every night, she would be the spirit at the parties, the one everyone loved. They all ignored me after she came into the picture. One night, I tried to be the spirit again. My parents scolded me for trying to take my sister’s spotlight. They locked me in a little dark room. They sagte I would stay there until I thought about what I did. After that, at every single party, I was always in that little dark room. One day, at my own birthday party, I was sent to that little dark room. That’s when my hatred and sadness grew inside of me to a point where I stopped breathing. I remember falling down on the floor, gasping for air, and looking through the crack in the door and seeing everyone laughing around my sister. That was my dieing image. A couple of hours later, when the party was over, my parents came in to check on me. strumpf came too. What they found was horrible; my dead mangled body, out of my eyes tears of blood, and not breathing. strumpf ran up to me and started to cry, but her tears were fake. A Monat later I got my revenge Von killing my mother and father, and setting my house on fire, killing Stocking. The Hanate house sits where mine used to be. I hated strumpf and I still do. That…is the truth.” I opened my eyes and I was back in the Hanate house. I saw Panty in front of me. “Why are Du meeting her here if Du hate her?” I asked. Panty looked down. Just then, a door opened behind me. I turned around to see a girl with blonde hair, green eyes, and a red dress. “Hello old home!” she said. The others heard her and came running down. Ikuto stopped when he saw the girl. She smirked. “Who is she?” he asked me. “Stocking.” I said. Ikuto gasped and looked at her. strumpf looked at me. “Panty, let’s take her to hell next.” She said. “No!” Panty yelled. She got in front of me. “I am sorry for all of this, we will leave now.” She says. They both then disappear. “Ikuto, Du were right, they were both dead.” I sagte to him. “Miss Hasaki, are all right?” he asked me. “I’m fine.” I said. “So, she is gone now for good?” asked Nerine. “Yes.” I said. “Yay!” sagte Amu. “She creeped us all out.” She added. “Yes.” I sagte as I nodded. Ikuto looked over at me in worry. I walked upstairs. I flopped back down on my bed. “Revenge!” that word of Panty’s swirled around in my head constantly. I then closed my eyes and feel asleep. I woke up the Weiter morning. I walked outside. It was raining. I got dressed and walked to the kitchen. “Good morning.” sagte a happy-faced Ikuto. “Good morning.” I sagte to him. I heard someone walking down the stairs. I looked behind me and saw Nerine. “Good morning, Nerine.” I said. She looked at me. She rolled her eyes and walked away. The rest of the Tag was pretty peaceful. After dinner, Nerine walked up to Ikuto’s room. “Ikuto,” she said, “Please, get rid of her!” Ikuto looked at her. “No, she has to stay with us!” he argued. “You just don’t care about my feelings!” she said. She ran outside. I watched as Ikuto ran after her. All of the others ran down to see what was happening too. Nerine fell to the muddy ground. It was still raining. “Everyone, get to your room for safety!” yelled Len. They all ran up to their rooms except for Rin. She tugged on my shirt. I looked down to her. “What is it?” I asked her. She pointed over to Ikuto. “What?” I asked. She started to tear up. “Rin, what’s wrong?” I asked her. She ran up the stairs and went into her room. I opened the door and walked out to see what was going on. “Nerine, is everything okay?” I asked Nerine. She looked up at me. “Toeto, please go back inside, I am going to Zeigen Du the true form of Ikuto.” She sagte to me. I looked at her in confusion. “Go, now!” she yelled to me. She then pushed me back inside and locked the door. “Let me out!” I yelled as I banged on the glass. “You’re pathetic,” she sagte to him, “You always will be.” He stared at her with anger in his eyes. She started to kreis around him. I looked up and saw Kisa watching through her window. “Nerine, stop.” sagte Ikuto. She chuckled. “Never.” She whispered to him. “Don’t get to mad, Du know what happens to Du when Du get mad, Ikuto.” She sagte to him. He scoffed. “I am going to kill Toeto now, don’t try and stop me.” She said, walking towards the door. I gasped and backed up. “No!” he yelled. He lunged towards Nerine. I heard him roar. I gasped. He pushed her in the mud. “Ikuto.” She sagte to him. When he turned around, I saw what his true form was for the first time: his skin had turned blue, his eyes were glowing yellow, he no longer had hair but two big pointy cat ears, and a long blue tail. I broke the door and ran outside. “Ikuto!” I yelled to him. He turned around and looked at me. Then, he took off running. I watched him go. “Now Du have seen his true form, does it frighten you? If Du truly Liebe him, it shouldn’t.” Nerine said. I looked down at her then ran after him. “Ikuto.” She said. I ran and dodged every branch in the forest Von their house. That is where he had ran. “Ikuto!” I called out. Hearing no answer, I ran further. I then tripped and fell Von a tree. I sat down, crying. It started to rain harder. I remember thinking that I was useless. Just then I heard Amu gasp. I looked up to see her and Rin. I looked back down. “Oh, Toeto!” sagte Amu running up to me. Rin then bolted in front of her and pushed her away. “What was that for?” Amu said. Rin just looked up at her. Amu ran towards me again. Rin pushed her again. “Rin!” yelled Amu. She tried again. Rin pushed her. “Stop it!” yelled Amu. For the last time, she ran towards me. Rin pushed her out of the way again. When Amu got up, Rin wrapped her arms around her and wouldn’t let Amu move. “Let go of me, Rin!” she yelled. Then, something incredible happened. “You can’t comfort Toeto right now!” I gasped and looked up. Amu gasped and looked at Rin. “You can’t!” Rin yelled. She had found her voice again. Rin started to cry. She pushed Amu to the muddy ground. “Toeto, get up!” Rin yelled to me. I looked down. “Now, Toeto!” she yelled again. “Stop it, Rin!” yelled Amu. She ran towards me. Rin pushed her out of the way. Amu glared at Rin. “Go Toeto!” she yelled to me. Amu tried to run towards me again. Rin grabbed her and held her in place. “You have somewhere Du need to be, Toeto. So go!” she yelled. “Hey, Hey let go of me!” sagte Amu. “We can’t comfort Du now, Toeto. All we can do is tell Du to go. So go, go!” Rin yelled to me. I slowly stood up. I looked at them and then I started walking away into the fog. Rin then let Amu go. “Toeto.” Amu said. Rin then fell to the ground. “Why?!” she yelled. I walked further into the wet, muddy forest. I had no shoes on. A tear fell from my eye. I then heard a roar. I walked in the direction of it. Through the trees, I could see a big blue cat like creature. I stopped walking and looked up at it. It looked at me and growled. “Come with me, Ikuto. Please.” I sagte to him. He roared. He swung his arm at me and I grabbed it. He swung it around, trying to get me off. “Please!” I yelled to him. He looked at me. “I don’t want to lose you; I have Lost so many other people. Du and the others are all I have left.” I said, “Please, just come Home with me.” I begged. His eyes turned soft. “I don’t want to lose Du either.” He said. I looked up to see the real Ikuto. “You’re all I have left.” He said. A tear fell from my eye. I stood up beside him. I hugged him. “Don’t ever do that again, please.” I said. He hugged me back. “I wont.” He said. “Ikuto!” we heard somebody yell. We looked over to see Rin, Amu, and Len. They were carrying something. “She’s not breathing!” we heard Amu yell. We both ran over to them. Ikuto gasped and fell to the ground. They were holding Kisa. “Kisa!” he yelled. He checked her pulse. I stared at him. “Kisa, no!” he yelled. He began to tear up. “Did Du know?” asked Rin. Ikuto looked up towards her. “Know what?” he asked her. “If the sister of the one who is cursed Von the true form sees her brother transform, she has to die. Kisa knew this.” sagte Rin. “Then why didn’t she look away?” asked Ikuto. Rin looked down. “Curiosity is a strong thing.” sagte Rin. A tear fell from his eye. “Let’s get her back home.” He said. They picked Kisa up and started walking home. A tear fell from my eye and I started walking with them. I had noticed that is stopped raining. When we got to the house, I found Nerine sitting in a corner, covered in mud. “I didn’t know.” She said. I looked away and walked back inside. “Lay her down in her room.” sagte Ikuto. Rin nodded and took her up to her room. I sat down at the tabelle and started crying. “You should go get changed.” I heard a voice say. I looked up and saw an 18 Jahr old boy with black hair, a black shirt, and jeans. “Who are you?” I asked him. He chuckled. “My name is Ichimoku.” He said. I gasped and stood up. I stared at him wide eyed. “What’s wrong?” he says, walking up to me. He wiped a tear from my eye. “Kisa, she’s…” Ichimoku interrupted. “I know, that is why I have come.” He said. “Ichimoku!” I heard someone yell. We both looked over to see Ikuto. “Hello, Ikuto.” sagte Ichimoku. Ikuto stared at him. Ichimoku chuckled. “Where is your sister?” he asked him. Ikuto gasped and looked at him. “I can save her.” He said. Ikuto looked at him in surprise. Ichimoku walked up the stairs toward Kisa’s room. Everyone ran quickly up the stairs. “Ichimoku, don’t!” yelled Ikuto bolting through Kisa’s bedroom door. We saw Kisa standing Von her window. “Kisa.” sagte Ikuto. “I am now to be known as Kichimoku.” She said. Ikuto gasped and looked at her. Ichimoku had put his soul into hers. Ikuto walked down the stairs with a sad look on his face. I followed him. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs. “What’s wrong?” I asked him. “That isn’t my sister up there that is just a Kisa look-a-like!” I gasped. He was right. That wasn’t Kisa. It was Ichimoku in her body. He had created Kichimoku. I rubbed his back. “It’s okay.” I sagte to him. Just then, Nerine walked in. “I saw Ichimoku walk in, what does he want?” she asked us. “He took over Kisa’s body, bringing her back to life. She is now called Kichimoku.” I sagte to Nerine. She gasped and ran up the stairs. That’s when Amu walked down. “Kichimoku sagte that she wants to go to the river so that everyone will forget about the sadness.” She said. Ikuto nodded. I went to go change my clothes. When I came back down, everyone was ready and waiting for me. I smiled at all of them and walked out the door. They led me to a river with a waterfall. “Come on!” sagte Amu getting in a canoe. I looked at her. “But if we do that, the current will pick us up.” I said. “Don’t worry; we do this all the time. Of course we do destroy a lot of canoes this way.” sagte Amu. I got into the canoe. Everyone did besides Ikuto. He was starring into the forest. “Ikuto, what is it?” asked Kichimoku. “Kyo.” sagte Ikuto. Everyone gasped and looked at him. “Who is Kyo?” I asked them. “Kyo is mad because we sent him away, he wanted to be part of the Hanate Kitsunes, but we sent him away because he left the Murogi Kitsunes.” sagte Kichimoku. All of a sudden, a person with orange hair and brown eyes jumped out. “Revenge.” He said. “Amu, go now!” yelled Ikuto. Amu picked up a paddle and rowed us down the waterfall. I quickly got out of the water and looked up to watch the fight. Kyo let out a chuckle. “Don’t get too mad.” He said. Ikuto gasped and looked down at me. “She accepts me.” He said. He then began to growl. I have to stop him from changing into his true form. Thought Kyo. He then took out a sword. “Ikuto.” I said. Kyo looked at Ikuto. He then stabbed Ikuto in the chest with his sword. “Ikuto, no!” I yelled. Ikuto’s eyes widened and his life flashed before his eyes. Kyo smirked. He then quickly pulled the sword out. Ikuto walked towards the waterfall. He looked down at me then fell down the waterfall. “Ikuto!” I yelled. I taube into the water and saved him. I leaned him against a rock. I looked at him. “Ikuto, are you...” he didn’t answer and kept staring ahead. “You mean everything you’ve done…no, everything we’ve done together…it’s all going to go to waste?!” I said. He kept on staring. I began to cry and hugged him. That’s when Ichimoku let the real Kisa out again. “Big brother!” she yelled, running up to Ikuto. I grabbed his hand. I looked up to see Kyo walk away into the forest. “I am sorry for all of the grief I have caused you, this is all my fault.” sagte Ichimoku. I looked at him and saw him walk into the forest. I looked back down at Ikuto. His eyes were still open. “Ikuto.” I said. He then sagte his last words; “yes…everything…we’ve done…together…is going…to…” he then closed his eyes. I looked at him. “You can’t leave me, Du can’t, please open your eyes Ikuto please! No!” I said. “Please open your eyes big brother please!” yelled Kisa. “No!” we both yelled and cried.
Well Ikuto, the world has gotten a lot better since that eventful day. Everyone has gone their own way, living in different places. The only ones left in this house are me and Kisa. Ichimoku still lives in his little hut in the middle of the forest. I told him he should Bewegen in with us, he sagte soon maybe. You’re probably laughing right now how Du had something to do with making our lives better. Even so, we still have a lot of problems to figure out for ourselves. I, Toeto Hasaki know this; I will never forget you. So please don’t forget us, and we won’t forget you…ever.
The end.
Hmm...James, bringing back any memories-Lulu
