Yuriko jaw dropped as she watched the kitsune that were once her aunt and father vanish.
"No," she whispered, tears beginning to dampen her eyes. Yuriko was stunned and now furious. All she wanted now was vengeance and she had heard one name to take her anger out on.
"Akira."
The teen now raced through the hotel, the sounds of battle ball around. "That fucking idiot thinks that's the other Claudia," she thought. Racing blindly through the halls she paid little attention to her surroundings. All she needed to do at this point was safe her father and her aunt.
Yuriko skidded to a halt as she now glared at the kitsune in the front foyer. Akira had not shifted back into his anthro form, the five tails seeming to coordinate the attack and prevent any from escaping. Seeing an opening the young teen now raced down a set of stairs. The mystical fox turned, giving the teen a quizzical look.
"And who might you AAARRRGH!"
Yuriko wasnt thinking as she now focused her magic on Akira. "What did you do to my father," she yelled, her voice causing the windows to crack.
"I protected them," Akira wheezed. The kitsunes mind felt like it was on fire. What was this girl?
"Bullshit," she bellowed. "You changed them. I saw it! And worse you changed the wrong Claudia."
Akira now tried to focus, his vision blurry. "What do you mean," he wheezed. "Mika, my cousin, she....she is bonded with the one you call Claudia."
"That Claudia is a teen," Yuriko yelled, focusing her power and dropping Akira to his knees. "That Claudia is an anthro and from the other timeline. This one is the mother of Kari!"
Akira groaned in pain, blood beginning to trickle from his nose and ears as Yuriko pushed harder.
"Bet you're wondering what's going on," Yuriko growled. "So I'll tell you. You see in my time, your future, I train with three all powerful mages."
Akira only moaned, his head felt as if it would explode. "Lynne," Yuriko yelled. "Shes probably the strongest wizard to ever live. Morgan is the freaking reincarnation of Morgan LeFay, finally my cousin Kari is a kitsune, trained by wizards."
Yuriko pushed harder, her own nose beginning to bleed as Akira howled in pain. "That's not even including my brother or Tricia," she snarled. "I'm the odd one out. The tag along kid sister. So, in order to stand out, I had to train harder."
Akira now tried to send his shadows out to attack Yuriko, only for the teenage wizard to seize them with her powers, crushing them in an invisible grasp. "Few wizards focus on psionics," she stated, forcing Akira to his belly. "Its hard to train the mind. Telepathy, telekinesis, mind control, most wizards focus on the arcane. I don't."
Akira tried to speak as Yuriko now levitated the five tails body. She still couldnt believe how much power she had tapped into. "That pain you're feeling," she growled. "Is me tearing your brain to pieces. Cell by cell, synapse by synapse."
Akira howled once more, the pain was excruciating. "Heres the deal,"Yuriko spat. "Take your cronies out of here and change my family back. Otherwise I'll repaint the walls with your grey matter."
"And what would the kitsune say," Akira strained, blood trickling from his mouth. "You would destroy one of their clan out of rage?"
Yuriko's mouth curled in a fearsome snarl as she pressed harder, Akira screaming in agony. "Dont put that shit on me," she snarled. "You attacked us, transformed my family. Change them back or I swear I'll leave you in agony."
Akira nodded, his brain felt like it was on fire. "Done," he screamed.
Yuriko remained where she stood, her spell still in full effect as Akira writhed in pain. Her family may be safe but they had other concerns. Those creatures were still running around the hotel and Kellies newborn son was still in danger. She now hoped the others could find a way to end this.
