Chapter 7: The last nine tails

Blake POV

"So Blake what type of faunus is your sister?" Yang asked, "She's a very rare species of faunus with two traits, she's a nine-tailed fox. She's actually the last one, well the last true nine tails. Her mother was one at one point, but humans hunted them nearly to extinction. The few lucky enough to have survived had lost their once beautiful tails." I said, "That's terrible!" She said as she started the fire.

Blair POV

"Blair, did you find them?" Adam asked, "No." I said, "I don't think I heard you correctly!" He said as he shot me in the stomach with the hilt of his sword and pinned me against a wall with his blade pressed firmly against my throat, "Adam if you wanted some you could have just asked." I said as I pressed the tip of my dagger against his chest, "Where did they go?" He asked coldly, "She probably is somewhere here on Menagerie." I said as we put our weapons away, "And if she did really go she probably would have taken the train all the way back to Atlas." I said.

"Well here goes nothing." I said as I took a deep breath and knocked on the front door, "Yes? How can I...Blair." Dad said as he answered the door a few seconds later, "Hi Daddy." I said as he hugged me, "I came home. I'm finally home." I said, "Ghyra who's at the door?" Kali asked, "Hi Kali." I said, "Blair sweetie, what have I asked you to call me?" She said as she hugged me, "I'm sorry mom." I said as I hugged her back.

"D...Did you find them?" Kali asked, "Yes, I got to meet my nephew and he's perfect." I said, "Honestly he's lucky I was there or he would have been eaten by grimm." I said, "Sounds like (y/n) he's always wandering off and getting himself into trouble." She said, "Well I should get going, it's a long way to Mom's village." I said, "You really still consider Kuroka to be your mother. Sweetie who raised you since you were five? Who tried to stop you from looking for her tribe, the same tribe that abandoned you I might add." She said, "I know, but she's the only one who can guarantee (y/n)'s safety." I said as I clenched Blake's ribbon. 

 "I'm sorry Blakey." I said as I took a deep breath, tied Blake's ribbon onto my arm, and entered the village, "MOM COME ON OUT!" I shouted, "Blair darling it's lovely to see you again." Mom said.

 "Hi, Mom." I said as she hugged me, "So what brings my darling daughter home?" She asked, "I need a favor." I said, "Typical you only come home when you need something...OH WELL, at least I still have my health.*achoo*" She said, "I'm going to die." She said grimly, "Oh knock it off Mom it's probably just a cold or allergies." I said, "I'm too young to die! I'm only two hundred and fourteen! I'm basically still a teenager!" She cried as she clung to my leg, "Knock it off Kuroka." A man said as he pulled Mom off me, "Thank you, Jack." I said.

 "Anything for my stepdaughter. So what's this favor you need?" He asked I tossed him my scroll with the picture I took of (y/n) pulled up, "AWW A BABY!" Mom said excitedly, "Mom compared to you and Jack everyone is a baby." I said, "So who is he?" Jack asked, "DON'T TELL ME YOU HAD A BABY AND DIDN'T TELL YOUR OWN MOTHER!" Mom yelled as she jumped at me only to be held back by Jack, "No he's not mine, that's my nephew (y/n) he's Blake's son. He's three and I want, no I need to know that if the need should arise that you two will keep him safe." I said, "Blair why don't you stay for a few days." Mom said, "Ok I guess that couldn't hurt." I said.

"Blair since you're here why don't you take part in the festival tonight!" Mom said, "No I couldn't." I said, "Nonsense you can dance with me!" She said, "That's a wonderful idea!" Jack said, "Come on Blair it's bath time!" Mom said.

"Ok sweetie what aren't you telling us." Mom asked as we got into the large pool-like bathtub, "Mom I...I messed up." I said, "What happened." She said, "I should have warned her, I should have just taken (y/n) and brought him here!" I said, "Sweetie please calm down, "Mom something terrible is going to happen and my baby sister is right in the middle of it." I said, "Honey Blake's a big girl she'll be ok." She said as she hugged me, "But if you are really that worried then when the time comes you'll do the right thing, I know it." She said.

"Do I really have to wear this?!" I asked, "You could dance in your underwear, but I doubt your dad would like that." Mom said.

"Sorry, Mom I can't do it!" I said as I tried to sneak away, "Now where are you going." Jack said, "I'M NOT DANCING YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" I yelled, "Come on you got it wrong. It's not that kind of dancing." He said.

"Blair do you know what your mother was called back in the day?" Jack asked, "No what?" I asked, "She was known as the white demon of the nine tails." He said as we entered an arena, "It's about time Blair." Mom said as a strange mask formed on her face

"I get it now." I said as I put on my mask, "Here." Jack said as he handed me a sword.

"Your daggers and semblance will only get you so far against your mother." He said, "Thank you." I said as he walked away, "Hey Blair if you can beat me I'll agree to that favor you asked for earlier!" Mom said as she drew her scythe and ran at me.

"You were gonna do it for me either way!" I said as I jumped over her, "Now go cold impact." She said, suddenly a pillar of ice slammed into me, "Honey it wasn't by accident that I got the name white demon. I got it because the elements of snow and ice are mine and mine alone to control!" She said as she began to freeze my legs, "Nice try, but you should know this by now mother." I said, "Oh and what's that?" She said, "If you play with fire your bound to get burned!" I said as I melted the ice as well as her scythe, "Oh very impressive, but I won't be beaten that easily." She said as she took the small silver bell she had tied around her wrist off, "KUROKA NO! SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER!" Jack yelled worriedly from the stands, "COME FORTH! WINTERS BEAUTY!" Mom yelled as she tossed the bell high into the air. As it fell ice formed around it and formed into a katana once in her hand.

"That blade's made of ice. Let's see if I can't melt it down a bit!" I said as I set the blade on fire, "WHITE TEMPEST!" She yelled as a blizzard formed around us, 'I...I get it now! Why Jack gave me this sword, my daggers might be better suited to my semblance, but they can't help me here they're too short, and my semblance can only be used to keep me from freezing to death in these absolute zero temperatures. This sword will give me the length I need to block her attacks!' I thought, suddenly Mom's sword landed in front of me and the blizzard disappeared, "B...Blair r...run!" Mom said weakly from in the claws of a massive grimm.

"MOM!" I yelled, "Blair I'm going to free your mother and once that happens I need the two of you to kill this thing. " Jack said as I took off my mask and he drew his enormous sword.

"Let's go!" He yelled as he cut the grimm's hand causing it to let Mom go.

Kuroka POV

"B...Blair." I said as I looked over at my daughter.

Flashback twenty years ago

"MOMMY!" Blair yelled as she ran over to me, she was so young and innocent. She hadn't even developed all of her tails and the one she had still matched her beautiful black hair.

"Blair." I said as I hugged her, "Mommy I'm so happy to see you! Mama and Papa will be happy too!" She said, "Mama?" I said, "Blair sweetie where did you go?!"  A woman said as she frantically called out for my daughter, "MAMA!" Blair said happily as the woman turned the corner, I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt to see my baby call someone else mama, "What are you doing with my daughter?!" The woman asked as she pulled Blair away from me, "Mommy!" Blair cried as she ran back over to me, "Kuroka?" Ghyra said, "Hi Ghyra I'm Back." I said.

"So you're Kuroka. I'm Kali, Ghyra's wife." Kali said as she held Blair in her lap, "It's lovely to meet you Kali, um I think Blair wants down." I said, "Kuroka what happened to your tail?!" Ghyra asked, "So you noticed hugh, shortly after I left a fox hunter tracked me down and took it." I said, "Fox hunter?" Blair asked, "There people who hunted nine-tailed foxes like mommy." I said as she sat next to me, "Why were they mad?" She asked, "No sweetie, they thought since we live for so long that there was something special about us, about our tails. And you know what they were right." I said, "Wait you mean!" Ghyra said, "No our tails are useless to anyone other than nine tails. For us, it's how we breed the next generation of nine tails so as long as we still have one tail left a nine-tailed baby can be born." I said, "I was the last adult nine tails, now Blair's the last nine tails." I said as I petted my baby girl, "Kali when her tails turn from black to white keep her safe, when that happens they'll come for her." I said.

End flashback

'That's right I have to protect my baby.' I thought as I tried to get up, "Honey are you ok?" Jack asked, "I'm alright dear." I said as he helped me up, "Here you're going to need these." He said as he handed me my main weapon.

"Mom that looks like." Blair said, "They are, the weapon your sister based her weapon off of. Winter Shroud" I said, "Who do you think helped her build Gambol Shroud?" I said, suddenly one of the grimm heads attacked Jack lifting him high into the air, and one by one he fended off attacks from each of the five heads until his sword broke, "JACK!" I cried as the grimm bit his arm and tore it off as it threw him into a wall, "JACK!" I cried as I ran to him and threw off the remnants of my mask.

Blair POV

"Jack darling you're going to be fine." Mom cried as she caressed her cheek with his hand, "W...Were going to kill the Hydra and then the two of us will finally give Blair a baby brother or sister." She said, "B...Blair the heads, c...cut off the heads all at once with an attack of immense heat." Jack said, "I understand." I said as I drew my sword. "DIE!" I yelled as I ran at the grimm and cut along its belly and shot it, "NOW YOU DIE!" I shouted as I spun around and slashed sending a wave of white flames at the grimm severing all five heads as easily as it flew threw the air, "You have been avenged...Daddy." I said as I began to cry and remembered the first thing I ever asked Jack after he married my mother. "Jack, why don't you want me to call you Dad or something? I mean you are my stepfather after all." I asked, "Hey If you wanna call me Dad or Daddy go ahead, but I'm not going to force you to. I just wanna live a nice, long, and happy life with you and your mom." Jack said. I didn't understand it back then, I just thought he wanted to replace Dad or something, but all he wanted was to keep his family safe and happy. "NOOO!!" Mom cried, "At least he died with a smile on his face." I said softly.

It's been two weeks since Jack's death, Mom has been doing surprisingly well. 'I wonder what should I do now?' I thought, suddenly my scroll began to ring, "Blake why would she be calling?" I asked as I answered, 'Hey sis...wait what's wrong you look like you've been crying." Blake asked, "Well that's because I have been crying, Jack passed away two weeks ago." I said, 'Blair I'm so sorry, I'll call you some other time.' She said, "No no, now's fine. So what did you need?" I asked, 'Auntie.' (y/n) said as he popped out from behind his mother, 'Seems you left quite the impression on him. He has been going on and on about when his auntie Blair will come visit again.' Blake said, 'SEE GUYS HER SISTER REALLY IS A FAUNUS, AND SHE'S DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!' Yang said as she took the scroll from Blake and showed me to the rest of her friends, 'WOW!' A girl with black hair with red tips said, 'She is very beautiful.' A white-haired girl said, "Blair sweetie who are you talking to?" Mom asked as Blake, Yang, and (y/n) got in frame, 'Auntie Kuroka, looking as good as ever I see.' Blake said, "IT'S THE BABY!" Mom squealed, 'THAT'S HER MOM?!' The others said, "PUT THE BABY BACK ON!" Mom said, "Hey (y/n) sweetie." I said, 'Auntie.' (y/n) said as he tried to touch the scroll, "You can expect a visit from Auntie Blair soon." I said as I ended the call.
