Chapter 10- The Deadly Third Tail

Chapter 10- The Deadly Third Tail

Maroku just sat on the floor of the hall, looking at what was at first a defensless fox girl but now, he felt like he was staring death itself in the face Mayako bright white pericing eyes were set on him she exhaled and smoke came out her mouth fallowed by a low demonic growl her tails waved viciously behind her like three mad black snakes waiting to strike Mayako took a step forward as she did Maroku felt like running by his legs weren't responding to him at all as well as shaking. Maroku started to panic, he didn't expect this, he didn't think his taunting would bring something like this out of Mayako it made him feel like a idiot for even starting it "Please, I'm sorry! I didn't mean all those things I said!" he placed his hands together and bowed his head in forgivness "I accept your apology from before!" Maroku was desperate he wanted to get away he was willing to do anything.

He peeked up to see if Mayako showed any reaction to his words but, she remained the same looking at him like he was nothing but prey "I'm sorry I called you a monster!" he shouted Mayako's ear twitched "Monster" Maroku shudder as Mayako stepped forward "Wait! Please! I'm sorry! I'm not mocking you anymore!" he then began to beg and plead for forgiveness. Mayako ignored him and cotinued to walk forward thats when Maroku started cowering he started to crawl backwards hoping he could get away from Mayako but in a blink, she was right in front of him staring right down at him "P..Please I'm sorry!" his eyes shook with fear Mayako groan lowly making as if she didn't hear Maroku at all.

She raised her arm and extended it towards him she put her palm in his face "Pl..Please, don't kill me" he begged all Maroku's begging wasn't going to get through to Mayako as she was detached from her body, black fire started to form at Mayako's palm at this time Maroku became frantic he started babbling and calling for help. Then Mayako launched the black flames onto Maroku he then screamed in agonising pain as the fire started to burn him he rolled and screamed on the hall floor trying to put the flames out somehow but, try as he might nothing was making the flames go away and soon after not too long of time his screams stopped and the fire consumed him.

Then, all that was left of the fox spirit know as Maroku Yumiya was nothing but a pile of white ash on the ground a grin spread across Mayako's face as she started at the ash pile then she recalled something, the classroom, her desk, the word 'monster' etched into it, her classmates chuckling and laughing at her she grolwed with a scowl on her face, she knew where to go next she then started on her way to her classroom. The students in Mayako's class didn't see it coming when Mayako walked into the room the one that were inside looked at her when they saw her fear spread across each of their faces, Mayako walked up to the closes one and touched him, and like Maroku she set him on fire the black flames consuming him and turning him to ashes. After seeing this display the other students started to cry and panic some even made for the door but, Mayako wasn't going to let them get free she appeared right in front of them and blasted them back with the black flames turning them into ash as well the other students froze dead in their tracks which allowed Mayako to turn them all into ash piles on the classroom floor.

After that was done Mayako looked upon her work and grinned, she then remembered about the whole school, all of the students in her school thought of her as a monster she grinned wider as she knew what she had to do next she walked out her classroom and into the hallway which was filled with other students after hearing the screams coming from her classroom. When Mayako stepped out into the hallway the students just like the ones in her classroom had the look of fear on their faces Mayako looked at them and they were frozen in place that was perfect, she then vanished and one by one she started to reduce the students in the hall to ash. Some managed to find the strength and courage to run but, Mayako still caught them and made them into ash which lined the hallway of the school after her tewnty fifth student reduced to ashes Mayako looked further down to hall to see more students looking at her she grinned she had more to finish off. It didn't take Yone long to figure something was going on she was in her class chatting with some of her classmates when she felt the huge surge in spiritual energy she could feel the malevolance behind it then and knew it was moving, thats when the screams reached her classroom without hesitation Yone ran out her classroom concerned for her younger sister she ran through the hallway.

Suddenly, Yone stopped in her tracks when she saw dozens upon dozens of ash piles on the floor of the hall she started to get scared and worried hoping that one of them wasn't Mayako she then steeled herself and started running down the hall to Mayako's class where she found more ash piles when she saw this she began to worry even more but, a quick check of spiritual residue made her realize that none of the ash pile were Mayako which was a huge relief to her. Yone took a breath to calm herself "Okay, if she's not here then where is she?" Yone then heard more screams come from further down the hallway with that she rushed out Mayako's classroom "Wherever she is, I hope she okay". Far from Yone, Mayako was making her way down the hallway turning everyone that she came across into ash letting low growls escape her mouth her tails seemed like they were seeking out something then quick as a whip it lashed out and it grabbed a student that was hiding. It the presented the struggling student to Mayako who promptly turned her into ash ingnoring her pleas of sparing her after that, Mayako started off again she no longer saw anymore students but she still continued down the hallway, it was at this time deep in her subconcious Mayako started to wake up.

"What's going on?" she opened her heavy lided eyes and began to look around, she noticed she was back in the black space she had been in when she suffered her Spirtual Overflow "Wait..Why am I back here?" then she heard a famillar groan "That's because you lost it kid" Mayako looked around "Kurookami?" she heard a aknowledgeing grunt "What do you mean I lost is?" Kurookami sighed "Exactly what I mean kid, you lost it" Mayako still didn't understand, Kurookami sighed at that moement just like when she had her Siritual Overflow a thing akined to a screen appeared. Mayako looked at it and her eyes widened in horror at what she saw, it was her she had the same look she had on her face, the huge pleasured grin like she was enjoying every minute of what she was doing and she also saw the three black tails swirling violently behind her. Mayako swallowed hard "Th..That's me?" a long sigh came from Kurookami "Yes, that's you". Mayako felt a twinge in her heart "How...How did this happen again?" another sigh came from Kurookami "That boy, he caused this" Mayako gave a confused look "Boy?" at that moement an image of Maroku appeared on the screen like object "Maroku...Yumiya.." a grunt came from Kurookami.

"This boy, angered you greatly, which in turn, caused your third tail to appear which greatly increased your power" Mayako gasped as she figured it all out "That's right" came Kurookmai's voice like he figured out what Mayako was thinking "The reason your like that" the image of herself on the outside flashed on "Is because in your weakened state, you couldn't control the increase of spiritual energy thus.." Mayako shuddered "I entered into another Spiritual Overflow" Kurookami grunted. "And what a bad time to suffer from one" Mayako shuddered she hoped she didn't hurt anybody but again, as if Kurookmai knew what she was thinking he sighed long and hard "You did hurt someone" Mayako's eyes went wide "Who, who have I hurt?" Kurookmai sighed "The boy who made you like this, and a good number of students" Mayako shook "Are they.." she paused "Are they okay?" silence, "Kurookami?", silence again "Answer me! Are they okay!?" Kurookami sighed "No, they're not, all of them are dead". A cold chill went down Mayako's spine, "Dead...What do you mean they're dead?" silence again, "Kurookami!!" Kurookami groaned "You, killed them kid, you reduced them to nothing but ashes" Mayako's heart learched in her chest "I...I killed them.." she started to breath sparatically "I killed them..." she clutched her chest "I...I...I'm really a...a..monster..".

Suddenly, like fuzz from a messed up video tape Mayako started to blink, "I'm a monster" she muttered and she blinked again "Hey! Don't collapse on me kid!!" Mayako blinked again which cut out Kurookami's yelling "I'm a monster" again she blinked "Damnit kid!" Kurookami growled then suddenly, Mayako hearded her fathers voice "Mayako!" she looked around "D..Dad?" she had a confused a puzzled "Remeber what I told you! Your not a monster!" Mayako shuddered "But Dad, I killed people, that makes me a monster.." her father grunted. "No it doesn't! That wasn't your fault! You weren't in control of your body!" Mayako started to cry "But Dad, I killed innocent people..." her father growled "Listen to me Mayako! You are not a monster!" at that moment Mayako had tuned out her fathers voice "Mayako! Your not a monster! You my daughter! Your not a monster!" Mayako sniffled "Mayako!" it wasn't doing any good Mayako was too far gone for her fathers words to reach her. "Mayako!!" her father shouted outside, Mayako was still walking down the hall she was now on the second floor of the school, she had found a few students and promptly turned them to ashes as she was making her way furhther, Yone arrived right behind her "Oh crap!" Yone cursed this caused Mayako to turn and look at Yone whos eyes went wide.

"Ma..Mayako.." Yone couldn't believe it, in front of her was her younger sister, Yone took notice of her face, it was the same as when she suffered from her Spiritual Overflow but now, it disturbed her even more when she saw the huge menacing grin on her face "Mayako.." she then saw the ash piles leading to her and it all clicked in her head "Th...This...you did all of this" Yone remebered all of the piles of ash she'd seen running around looking for Mayako and now, knowing that her sister was the cause made her stomach turn. "How could you do something like this?" no response came from Mayako Yone gritted her teeth "Mayako!!" inside, Mayako was blinking more and more but then, through the static surrounding her she heard her sisters voice "Nee-san?" Mayako looked at the screen her eyes were almost divoid of life and her face had marks from the tears that had run down from them. Sure enough, she clearly saw her older sister standing in front of her looking at her angrily "Nee-san.." then something clicked in Mayako's head her lifeless eyes came back with some brightness "Nee-san!!" but cry and call as hard as she could it seemed like the last time her sister couldn't hear her.

Yone was brimming with anger, she couldn't beleive that her own sister was the one who killed all of those students whose ashes she passed by in the hallway "Mayako, you've gone too far" she gritted her teeth inside, Mayako saw her sisters rage contorted face "No! nee-san! I didn't do this dileberatley!" Mayako sniffled "I'm not in conrtol of my body!!" Mayako continued to yell at her sisters image on the screen. Even though she knew that her sister couldn't hear her, she was hoping that somehow if she kept shouting and yelling maybe, just maybe, her sister would hear her but, to her dismay her sister still looke the same, her face filled with rage. Fresh tears came down Mayako's face "Nee-san..." her life filled eyes slowly faded back to the lifelessness and Mayako began to blink again, more rapidly this time, a displeased grunt echoed, Kurookami's huge form loomed over the blinking Mayako "Damn, she came back a little bit" he clicked his tounge "There has to be something to get her to come back" Kurookami grunted quizitivly "But what?".

Back outside Yone clenched her fists "I have no choice, I have to stop you" a bit of sadness showed on Yone's face as she looked at her little sister remembering the smile she had on her face when she met her in class, the almsot sad lonely smile, "I'm sorry" Yone then steeled herself and she rushed at Mayako summoning her foxes fire. Mayako didn't blink she stood and waited as Yone rushed at her as Yone got within her strike range one of her tails sprang out from behind her and slammed into Yone making her collide with the wall of the hallway. Yone staggered to her feet, the blow she just took damaged her a great deal, not to mention she was still recovering from when she had fought Mayako five weeks ago, "Ugh.." she looked at Mayako "This is going to be harder then last time" she took a breath and reincaged Mayako. Inside her subconcious things were getting bad for Mayako, she was starting to slip away if she allowed herself to fade all that would be left would be the out of control monster that she currently was Kurookami grunted angrily "Damn, don't do this kid" Kurookami had been thinking the whole time as to what could bring Mayako back around. Thats when he glanced at the screen and saw that Mayako's sister was fighting her, he grinned "That might bring her around" he then looked down at Mayako.

"Hey kid, come on you've got to snap out of it! Your sisters going to be killed!" Mayako sturred she glanced up at Kurookami with her lifeless eyes "What?" her voice sounded like it was enveloped in static, "I said, that your sisters going to get herself killed! Look!" he jestered to the screen. Mayako slowly turned her head and looked at the screen, she gasped Yone was standing in front of her weilding her foxes fire, she had brusing on her body and blood was oozing out from a cut on her head along with giving heavy pants. Mayako lifeless eyes faded and light shone in them "Nee-san!!" a chuckle came from Kurookami "Good, your finally back" Mayako looked up at Kurookami "I have to do something! I don't want to kill nee-san!" a grin formed on Kurookami "Then, you know what to do" Mayako gave a confused look but, in a split second she remebered the last time and nodded "Good, then get to work!" Mayako nodded a second time. She then closed her eyes, and started to focus, she had to regaing control of her body, "Stop! Listen to me! that's nee-san! Don't attack nee-san!" her body wasn't responding to her which caused Mayako to get worried and panic "It's not working!" Mayako cried.

"Keep trying kid! If you don't want your sister to die" Mayako's eyes widened "You have to keep going! Try until you succeed!" Mayako gritted her teeth and nodded and she went back to focusing "Listen to me, you damn body, I won't allow you to hurt nee-san" her body didn't respond "Respond to me damnit! I'm telling you, obey me!" again no response just then she heard her sister scream in pain which cut her focus. Mayako looked at the screen, her eyes went wide as she saw that one of her tails was wrapped around Yone and was slwoly squeezing her, the pained look on her sister face made Mayako's heart drop "Nee-san!" Yone was squeezed and she screamed in pain. Mayako's face contorted with rage "Stop hurting nee-san! no response Mayako gritted her teeth "Goddamnit! I said to stop hurting nee-san!" Mayako took in a breath "Stop it!!! Stop hurting nee-san right now!!!" at that moment a jolt went through Mayako. She grinned, "Finally" she had finally managed to reconnect with her body she looked at the screen and sure enough her tail stopped squeezing Yone "Now, let nee-san go" it took a couple of seconds but her body responded and her tail loosened it's grip on Yone and she fell to the ground Yone held her aching body.

Mayako sighed in releief, "Thank god" outside, Yone looked up at Mayako a bit surprised that she had been let go "Mayako?" no response came from Mayako Yone jumped up "Mayako! Are you in there!" inside, Mayako heard her sisters call "I'm glad nee-sans okay" she took a minute of silence "Kurookami" Kurookami looked down "What?" Mayako looked up at him "Is there a way I can get a message to nee-san?". Kurookami grunted in thought, "Yes, you just have to project your spirit outside" Mayako raised an eyebrow "Project my spirit?" Kurookmai sighed "Yes, it's simple will your spirit to appear out there" Mayako nodded as she understood what to do. She focused again outside, as Yone stared at Mayako's unmoving body she saw a small light start to appear in font of Mayako "Wha..What is that?" suddenly the light shoned brightly which blinded Yone when she opened her eyes again they went wide. As she was looking at an astral image of her sister with a smile on her face, "Ma...Mayako, is that you?" the astral Mayako nodded "Yeah, its me nee-san" Yone coudln't help but smile, "Oh Mayako..." Mayako smiled wider "Nee-san listen" Yone eyes showed a hint of surprise "I'm sorry about all of this" Mayako frowned.

Yone frowned as well, "I'm sorry for hurting you again as well" Yone felt she was going to cry "Nee-san, I'm suffering another Spiritual Overflow" a shocked gasp came from Yone "Another Spiritual Overflow!? How?" Mayako gave a sad look "Well, I was in the hallway, and Maroku Yumiya, he attacked me" Yone's eyes showed she knew who Mayako was talking about. "Why did that bastard attack you?" Yone gave an angry look Mayako sighed sadly "It's because I put his brother Sanda in a coma" Mayako showed a hurt face "Mayako...you don't mean?" Mayako nodded "Yeah, when my first tail appeared they were harassing me, I got angry, and I attacked them" Yone face showed concern. "I just ran after I saw him lying on the ground, I didn't know I had hurt him so badly" Mayako face filled with anguish "I had no idea that's what I did, so, when Markou attacked me earlier, I was going to let him beat on me until he was satisfied" Mayako recounted everything from her exchange with Maroku. "But then, he started calling me a monster..." Yone looked as though something clicked in her head "I couldn't help it, I got angry, and it caused my third tail to appear" Mayako pointed to the third tail that was swaying slwoly behind her unmoving body Yone looked and gave a shocked experssion she hadn't even noiced it before.

"

That caused an increase in my Siritual Energy, so much so that in my weakened state, I couldn't control it" Mayako looked down at her hands "I lost myself" Mayako started to shake and sniffle "Nee-san, I killed him, I killed Markou like it was nothing" Yone had a hurt look on her face "Then, I started killing the other students.." Mayako looked at the ash piles on the hall floor. Yone's heart twisted in her chest, hearing how sad and hurt her sister was about what she had done, "Mayako, this wasn't your fault.." Mayako looked at her sister who had a smile on her face "This wasn't your fault Mayako, this was something you coudln't control, this wasn't your fault" Mayako shook her head "No, I could have stayed home like you, mom, dad,and nii-san had told me" Mayako began to tremble "This wouldn't have happened". Yone's heart twisted once more, "Mayako..." Mayako sniffled and looked at her sister with a half sad smile "But, I'm going to fix this" Yone had a puzzled look on her face "What do you mean?" Yone felt something was bad about the way Mayako was talking "I'm going to expel all of my spiritual energy".

Yone's eyes went wide in concern and shock, "No Mayako! If you do that you'll-" Yone was stopped as she saw Mayako smile "I know, I'll die" Mayako gave a pained look Yone gritted her teeth "There has to be another option Mayako" Yone gave a pained look "You don't have to do something like that" Mayako shook her head "No, nee-san, I have to, I've killed people" Yone's eyes flared with anger and tears "That wasn't your fault!". Mayako laughed half heartedly, she gave a weak smile to her sister, Yone started shaking her head "No, Mayako, it doesn't have to be like this!" Yone saw tears roll down Mayako's face which caused her own to flow down hers "No..Mayako.." Mayako raised her hand up "Bye nee-chan" Yone's heart learched in her chest "Mayako!" she rushed to grab onto the astral projection of her sister but her arms went right through her she looked her little sister close in the face "Please, don't do this" she sobbed Mayako gave one last bright smile and in a blink her astral image vanished in that split second Yone rached out for her little sister unmoving body.

Yone's finger tips had just touched Mayako's arms but then, in a blink, she vanished and Yone was left standing in the hallway with her arms outstretched in that moment Yone dropped to the ground, "Mayako...Mayako..." she sobbed and hugged herself "Maya!!" she screamed and began to cry uncontrollably outside the school, Mayako appeared right outside in the courtyard no one was around possibly because all of them hand run off after she started killing other students inside her head, Mayako floated in the black abyss steeling herself for what he was about to do "Are you sure about this kid?" Mayako looked above her and she saw Kurookami looking down at her with an almost sad look on his face. Mayako smiled, "Yes, I'm sure" Kurookami sighed long and deep "Alright, it was nice to know you kid" Mayako nodded "It was nice to know you as well" Kurookami nodded and vanished into thin air, Mayako then focused on her task "Alright, lets get this over with" she took in a breath and extended her arms.
