I12DT: As Promised

by **John Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:21 pm

John led Mizuki into his room. She would immediately notice it wasn't as neat and orderly as he normally kept his things.

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:22 pm

"Okay so what the heck is going on, big bro?"

by **John Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:26 pm

"You should probably sit down for this."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:33 pm

"This better be, like, super important." she says, sitting down on one of the chairs.

by **John Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:47 pm

"I don't know everything yet myself, but I'll tell you what I do."

"Dad showed up here out of the blue one day, acting funny. He was all... emotional. Creepy right? Anyway, turns out he'd been having these strange nightmares and when one of our telepaths checked it out they found a... well do you know what a yokai is?"

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:55 pm

Mizuki just gives John a look that clearly says she doesn't.

by **John Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:17 pm

"A Japanese spirit creature, often malevolent but not always. This one was thankfully of the friendlier variety. Dad was only reacting negatively to it because his mind is too inflexible. So, it tried another way of getting it's message across. It... umm... gave us a... magic VHS tape."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:18 pm

"Of course." she says, believing roughly nothing of this story.

by **John Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:52 pm

"I know, I wouldn't have believed it either if anyone not faculty here said they met the thing. Anyway... on the tape was a recorded memory of this guy... this samurai built rather a lot like me minus the reptile bits... but he was talking to his descendants. A message in a bottle I suppose."

"His name was Yamakaze Daisuke. Officially he was a Ronin, but he was actually a member of an order of demon hunters called the Hyakuryoushi, or the Hundred Hunters. They were nearly wiped out by a demon worshiping ninja clan known as the Bone Carver Clan, or the Honechoukou. The Hundred eventually defeated them but the cult leader declared a curse upon them that the cult would one day have it's revenge. The Hundred's wizard cast a spell to hide them from what was left of the cult... but now it's due to expire."

Mizuki kind of looks like she doesn't believe half of it and doesn't quite follow the other half. "And Dad's in Japan why?"

by **John Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 7:50 pm

"To convince his parents and his own sister to take measures for their safety."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 8:08 pm

"And Seattle's not safe because..."

by **John Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 8:42 pm

"Because traditional authorities can't handle this and our ancestor, while obviously not talking to me specifically, seemed to think a descendant of his would be needed to wield his enchanted weapon."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 9:12 pm

"So you send Dad? Don't tell me he's supposed to be some kind of hero wielding an ancient weapon..."

by **John Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 9:27 pm

John gave her a look that said 'don't be ridiculous.'

"No, he's just doing what he can to help while I find the descendant of the wizard that the friendly yokai told us could help. All the annoying thing gave us was a picture."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 10:09 pm

"Great and I get to stay here while you two sort this thing out?"

by **John Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 10:29 am

"Well sorting this out mean me and the X-Men fighting, among other things, giant demonic spiders."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 7:05 pm

"I'm not afraid of spiders." she points out, maybe overestimating herself a little bit there.

by **John Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 7:50 pm

"I distinctly remember the time a kid at school snuck a fake spider in your backpack. I think a glass shattered."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 8:00 pm

"And I remember when you couldn't go outside because it was too bright out." she frowns stubbornly.

by **John Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 8:08 pm

His eyes narrowed. "Low blow sis."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 8:09 pm

"Sorry..."

by **John Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 8:24 pm

"But," he sighed, "You make a point. Fragile little Johnny now fights supervillains so why can't you? Right?"

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 8:44 pm

"You said someone cursed our family so you gotta do something. Well I got the same reason to, no? Or is this some stupid boys-only club?"

by **John Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 8:51 pm

"No, this is those with combat training and experience only club."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:05 pm

"Then what if they come after me here while you all are in Japan, huh? I might be safer over there with you."

by **John Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:28 pm

"We never leave the school unguarded."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:35 pm

"I can't even leave the school grounds?"

by **John Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 11:22 am

"Like anyone else here your age, you're pretty free to come and go unless there's a imminent danger."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 1:41 pm

"If all that stuff is true then it concerns me just as much as you."

by **John Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:04 pm

"And which of us is less likely to get hurt?"

by **Mizuki Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:10 pm

"I bet I could beat you." she says defiantly, and possibly overestimates herself at least a little bit.

by **John Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:20 pm

"I'm so not fighting my little sister."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:39 pm

"Then I win by forfeit." she says smugly.

by **John Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:45 pm

"Keep telling yourself that."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 3:53 pm

"I am, like, way stronger than you though! You're not any less likely to get hurt than I am."

by **John Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 4:24 pm

"You may be stronger but I'm more resilient."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 4:43 pm

"You'd get crushed by one teensy boulder."

by **John Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 4:54 pm

"Oh I would not."

by **Mizuki Hino** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 5:01 pm

"Would too! You're being really stupid right now and you know it."
