Chapter 4
I am currently sitting with the girls in our spot, as usual, currently Yamaji was telling us a story of an And I quote "adorable moment from Miss Yoko's past". So far all I really heard was her chatting with he told friends in fancy life style stuff...
"And that's just one of the many adorable moments from Miss Yoko's childhood I still cherish" He said. "If you keep this up you're going to embarrass me" Yoko said bashfully. "Were you literally born with a silver spoon in your mouth?" Futaba asked.
"Doesn't sounds like you two have changed much" Hayama commented, "it does seem like it... though I do wonder" I said holding my hand to my chin. "I'm curious, was Sonobe pretty weird back then to? Because you didn't say anything about her" Futaba asked.
"Hey I was gonna say that" I said, "honestly, she hasn't changed that much either" Yamaji answered. "So" I then turned into Sonobe in her maid outfit "she looked like this her whole life?" I asked in her monotone voice.
Yamaji nodded and applauded me on how good I was at imitating her, "So how about you two?" Hayama asked me and Futaba, "How were you like as kids?"
"Well..." Futaba went first, I used my flashback power to see inside her head, as it turned out she's just like she always was. Very energetic and very hungry, her flashback was her coming home and asking her mother for a snack.
She had like a whole loaf in the form of jelly sandwiches, "i was pretty energetic, always playing or eating" she answered. "Sounds about right" Hayama commented, "for some reason I'm compelled to go first before Eiko So I'll just say it" I said in her voice.
She looked at me and glared and sighed in defeat, "Well if I said it..." again using my flashback power. Her flashback was more like a drama, she didn't get what she wanted for Christmas... oddly she asked for extremely dangerous wild cats... and Kou was there to comfort her.
Then it went scary "that's when the demon in you awakened" Futaba said, I just paled and fell into Yoko's shoulder shivering in fear. "Hmm I don't know what you're talking about" Teru said, "Ha Ha... Okay your turn Eiko" Yoko said, "oh right... well for me" I then flashed back to the exact moment of my birth.
"At birth I had complete self awareness... I was able to think, speak, and even walk as a baby. Then my powers manifested, at first it was strange always changing shape in my sleep... on one occasion I scared myself... then I learned how to control my abilities and times were great.
Then they became even better when my little brother way born, he always liked my little performances I did. Then... there was the incident" I said. "Wait incident?" Futaba inquired, "back in grade school, I saw a girl being picked on by a group of boys in front of the whole school. I got mad and went to stand up to them, then one of them spat on my face and then something inside me snapped. I blacked out, when I came to I saw I was using a large brutish form with sharp claws, looking down I saw the boys trembling in a corner.
And around me the other kids shivering and keeping their distance, and since that day all the kids wouldn't go near me. I felt sad, I knew it was my fault they were afraid of me but I couldn't stand it... I became more antisocial and shy... and I couldn't even bring myself to speak to my family..." I then stopped my flashback.
And looked at my friends "that was until I met you three" I added, "woah... that's kind of sad" Futaba commented. "Yes, you were only trying to stop an act of bullying but over some accident no one wanted to speak to you. A very immature behavior if I must say" Yoko said.
"Boy I can't top that" Hayama said, "Wait you have a little brother?" Futaba asked. "Huh? Oh yeah, he's very hyper, and like me he has mismatching eyes" I described my little brother.
"But he has blue hair, he's super adorable and has always looked up to me" I added. "I think it's sweet how your siblings always stood by you" Yoko said, "man having a brother or sister must be so great I'm jealous" Futaba said.
"Excuse me" a voice called out, looking to the source we saw the blonde's sister, "and there she is now" Teru said. "I wanted to join you four for lunch but you practically need a map to find this place" Kou said. "We're actually done but we can stick around if you want" I said, "thanks anyone want some bitter melon?" She asked.
"Ooh like in a stir fry?" "Nope just raw" Kou then proceeded to eat a bitter melon right in front of us. 'She is a health maniac' I thought, "so you still jealous?" Hayama asked the two. They nervously laughed and looked away. "So tomorrow's the big day" Kou said, "big day" Futaba inquired, "well in the cat world".
The next day I was calmly reading a light novel on my phone when I heard Hayama talking to someone. Looking to them I saw it was her Rival Nishiyamo, a pink haired girl who normally tries whatever it takes to upstage Teru but ultimately fails for some reason.
Apparently Hayama gave her a kitten, one of a litter of three she found abandoned on the street. And the two were arguing over which of their cats was the cutest. She also has a cat named Bell as she told us once... Wait cat?
I looked over and saw the magazine they were reading... and was stunned... while the two had conceded with how cute both their kittens looked I snatched the magazine away from them. "Hey Eiko what did you do that for?!" Hayama exclaimed as I hid the reading article.
"Oh uh no reason" I said... but then noticed my hand felt empty... I looked at both and saw the magazine was gone. "YIPE WHERE DID IT GO!!!" I screamed them saw Futaba looking through it.
"I don't know why you're worked up over this Eiko, it's just cats... ah... ahh. AWWWWW" she cooed, I flinched... and tried to make my way out of the classroom as unnoticeable as possible.
"You two look at this" Futaba said as the two came over, and the They squealed. The picture they saw was a small white furred Turkish angora kitten with brown ears, black paws and a striped tail. "So cute... how could a kitten like this exist?" Nishyoma asked, that was until Teru looked at the name of the kitten.
"THE ONLY WAY IS IF IT WAS A SHAPESHIFTER!!!" She yelled, I flinched again feeling her death stare. The cat they saw... was me... one of the odd jobs I did was to submit pictures of extremely adorable or amazing animals to magazines. And the kitten was me, "It's one of my odd jobs I swear! I was broke at the time" I half-lied.
In order to appease her wrath I immediately turned into the little angora... she melted into me quickly.
And right now we were back outside in our usual spot, and Teri was cuddling me. Not that I really minded, it was actually quite enjoyable, "Huh for a demon's she's rather gentle with animals" I said.
Yoko beamed "oh my you look so cute Eiko" she said, "well thanks, my angora form is quite adorable" I added. "My goodness, I wish I had a pet, it would be nice to have a little friend to keep me company" Yoko said. "Too bad most apartments don't allow pets" I commented making a mewing sound.
"Yes, and I don't have the means to relocate to a place that does allow pets" she added. "Well you do kinda have a pet, the most loyal dog ever" Futaba inquired. I tilted my head in confusion until Yamaji had popped up out of nowhere.
"Who are you talking about?" He asked, "oh you shouldn't compare Yamaji to a dog that's terrible he's my friend" the purple hair said when I spotted the brunette grab a nearby stick and throw it. And surprisingly the blonde man who moves like a ninja jumped and spun in the air and caught it.
Then reappeared behind us "here" and it startled the heck out of us, made me jump into the air and clonk my head on the tree. The next day at lunch we were discussing our hobbies, "so having all the stuff means photography is your hobby?" Futaba asked Hayama.
"No more like a duty really" she answered flipping her hair, then glared "really" "geez"...
"Well What is your hobby then?" Yoko asked, "Well I keep pretty busy most of the time, I do enjoy reading" Teru answered. "Like what international guides to torture?" Yoko joked until Hayama actually answered that she finished those back in middle school. That was awkward...
"What about you Futaba is eating your hobby?" Yoko asked, "how could eating be a hobby? I eat to survive just like everybody else" she replied. "Sure" I muttered sarcastically, it turned into an argument about what her hobby really was. "Well if anyone's interested as you may have seen my hobby is model figurines of anime characters" I said.
"Oh yeah, I remember you had to get to school in the little model you got from that raffle" Futaba said. "Yup! And I put some little animatronics in so I can make them move, I also enjoy singing and acting" I added. "Woah you can sing?" Futaba asked, "Sure can, it's not that good but my parents are impressed".
True enough I enjoy singing and my parents like hearing my voice, later on we went to a fast food restaurant. Apparently Yoko never had any fast food before so she wanted to have the chance. "I'm down" I said as we walked in, while my light weight friends had just one burger and medium fries I had...
Let's just say it wasn't that modest, forty carnivore deluxe burgers with extra ketchup, seventy three chicken nuggets, and five orders of fries. "They call this the overlord challenge, if you can eat all of this hands down no problem it's free" I explained. "And I thought I ate a lot" Futaba, "Well here goes nothing" I said before grabbing a burger and eating it whole.
"Also word of warning, this may look a little gross" I warned before devouring every piece of food I could find. "Wow" Yoko uttered both impressed and disturbed by what she was witnessing. "I know, it's like she's a living vacuum cleaner" Futaba uttered, after a short while I was done.
"BUUUUURRP!!!! Oh my excuse me!" I said as we all laughed, "that was a spectacle to see" Teru said. "Amazing" Yoko said as her hair was blown away by my... Uh... gastrointestinal battle cry.
Then Futaba decided to ask a rather serious question, why wasn't Yoko living with her parents? Turns out her mother had passed away when she was very young but she has no idea where her father was. He sends money regularly so Yoko was Sure she was doing fine.
As her friends we promised to help her out if she ever needed anything, "I'm free to hang out anytime" I said, "me too" Futaba said. "Specially something that involves food" Hayama inquired, "Wow is that you Yoko?" A young male voice asked.
Looking to our left we saw two small boys, one with brown hair and the other... wait I know that blue haired hyperactive ball of energy anywhere!!
"Good to see you sis" the brown hair said when the blue hair jumped on me screaming "BIG SISTER!!!" "Mataro!! Come on get off me yah little monster!" I laughed as he cuddled and tickled me.
Once I finally pried my little brother off me Yoko explained that the boy here Yun Takezono was a friend of Yoko. Or rather that they were promised to each other, that was awkward and apparently he goes to the same school as my brother.
"Okay that's weird" I said off handedly as Mataro clambered onto my head, "wait your misunderstanding, our families are close the betrothal isn't formal or anything" Yoko assures. "Well it's formal to me" Yun said, "kid a relationship at this age isn't worth it" I told him.
I then bid my friends goodbye to drop my brother off back home "Come on bro let's get to mom and dad's" I said as he grinned on my head as I turned into a dragon and flew to said House. The next day we were at our usual spot, today I decided to have a pizza, and no not ordered.
Nothing wrong with a home made pie, the girls were talking about Yun when Futaba spoke up. "Oh I forgot, I won't be able to walk home with you guys" she said, "what got something better to do?" Teru asked. "It's a family thing, my cousin's staying with us for a week so it's my job to pick her up and escort her home" My black whole of a friend explained.
"I didn't know you had a cousin" Hayama inquired, "how nice I'd love to meet her one day" Yoko said. "Really? Well, if I'm being honest could you come with me? I think I may need some back up" Futaba asked. "What do you need back up for?" We all asked, later on we found her at the southwest park.
"Sakura" the brown hair called out, the only person there was a small girl with long dark brown or black hair depending on how you look at it. "Oh ya made it" she replied, I then spotted a familiar face In the tree.
"Huh?" I then turned into a giraffe and reached my up and found Mataro "Huh what're you doing here bro?" I asked as he clung to my neck. "Hiding from her" he answered pointing to Futaba's cousin Sakura "she's got a terrifying demeanor" he said shivering. "Let's just get you down" I said lowering him to the ground, "oh hey there hot stuff" Sakura said referring to Mataro who flinched. "Uh hey S-Sakura..." he greeted stilling hanging onto me.
Futaba then directed us to a few suitcases that were there "this is why you wanted back up did!'t you?" Hayama asked. "Yeah... and I think we could use a little more" the brunette said while I used my shapeshifting abilities to turn my hand into multiple tendrils and lifted some of the suitcases.
I then saw Yoko throw a stick and Yamaji popped out of no where again and did the flip thing to catch it. We then looked behind us to see if he was going to appear there again when he reappeared in front of us. "Here you go!" That time I jumped like twenty feet into the air.
Then turned into a parachute while floating down with Mataro, "that sure was close But know I wasn't a goner" he commented cheerfully. "My bad" I said as we landed turning back, we walked down to Futaba's place to drop her off when we ran into Yun.
And thankfully for Mataro Sakura had them jumped on him calling the poor kid cute. All the while Yoko was looking rather positive about a high quality food Yun just gave her.
The next day
"Pardon me excuse me coming through" I called zooming to school, my legs were currently a Segway. "Almost there, with half an hour to spare" I said before entering the gates "yes!"
I then spotted Yoko looking rather down "Hey Yoko are you okay?" I asked cruising next to her. Turns out she messed up cooking the meat Yun have her and it didn't taste so well. Futaba And Hayama then came over, the brown hair then said she'd help her out with it and we went to her house after school.
Turns out Futaba's hobby and expertise really was cooking, because when we ate the food she made it was so good!!
