Chapter Fourteen: Circle Reality:
Family meetings. Haruka rubbed her forehead. Her older relatives
were in a panic.
“We're dying at alarming rates,” an old man complained.
“They're killing our children!”
“My granddaughter was murdered last week!” another
wailed. “She was five months pregnant!”
“All of my grandchildren were murdered too,” a third
one said. It started to repeat itself. Haruka gritted her teeth.
She muttered something under her breath at first.
“Enough, already,” she said. “Enough!” The
elders didn't hear her. Haruka slammed her hand on the table.
“Enough!” she shouted. The living room grew quiet.
Haruka moved her hands to her lap.
“We have not lost yet,” she said. “Stop crying
like little babies!”
“But…” one of the old men said.
“Act like a man!” she snapped. “So we lost some
children. So what? We are here!”
“We need the youth to carry out the clan,” another old
man said.
“Why?” the old woman asked. “The Mother made her
decision! She wants us dead!”
“What?” her family asked. Whispers filled the room.
“Wake up!” Haruka yelled. “You must have seen it
now! She's killing us all!” Admitting that tasted so bitter.
She glared at her family.
“Look at all of you!” Haruka shouted. “Whining
and crying! Fight back!”
“We can't,” the old men said. “Our kitsune are
getting weaker.”
“It doesn't matter!” Haruka snapped. “We either
fight or die! I choose to fight!” All eyes rested on her. The
old lady snorted.
“Pathetic!” she snapped. Haruka rose to her feet. The
elders yelled at her to come back. She gritted her teeth.
“Don't fuck with me!” the old lady screamed.
“Stay away from me!” Haruka stormed off upstairs. She
stayed in the hall and listened. The chatter made her blood burn.
Fools! How could they be this weak? Unforgivable?
Haruka slammed her fist into the wall. She made up her mind.
“I will not die with them,” the old lady muttered. Even
after Yasuo's end result, Haruka would be fighting with her
granddaughter and grandson-in-law alone. She didn't go back into
her room until she heard the elders leave.
