Chapter 25: Stretching 10

————————————————

A stage was formed in front of a crowd of hundreds, many of which seemed to be fans of who would come to see.

"Now ready to answer your questions for their tenth anniversary of their successful win against Soramaru, Bearlywrote, Cubbonyan and their family!" A ghostly character covered in rags introduced us to the stage as crowds cheered with costumes that are inspired by some of the viruses

I came along with everyone as we sat down in our seats when the press and fans want to ask us some questions, "Okay, one at the time! What is your first question?"

"How are you feeling since you've won this battle after ten years?" A humanoid cell asked me

"Well I have been fine with the arrangements made, Shin needs to process his Development naturally, so we decided to go with the Christmas plan, like Enma did" I answered

"I have a hard time with my lab work, but since the accident, I just want to leave it alone" Bearlywrote answered

The crowd murmured softly as my mom was struggling to answer the question, "Moving on, this question is for Brother, Have you visit back in Homeworld again?"

"Well I tried to see my friends there, but Steven told me that I'm not allowed during the time. Why is that? You guys don't get sick there, don't shatter me for spreading diseases!" Brother said annoyed

"Well maybe it's because you're a similar reference because you and him do have in common. You guys got cranky and got out of control, but you're not the corrupted type." Bearlywrote explained

"Let's compare with the differences! Uncle Dan and Steven's eyes are different when they are angry" Bearin answered

"Shut up!" He said as the crowd laughed

"I have a question for Beargamot! I know this world lifted the anti-cursed yokai act, but why did you not want to come back home?" The fan asked the cat

"Well I believe that everyone will still be putting me down, even if the rules say they're not supposed to. I'm like the Harriet Tubman of Cursed Yokai, I'm free, but they are still after my head!" Beargamot replied, "Besides, whenever I saved someone and placed them in the sanctuary, they became part of my family and the home they're in convinced me to stay"

"Hey Vilgox! How's your dad?" A fan asked him

"He's not allowed to answer this question!" Beargamot asked them because of his brother's sensitive nature

"Well he's fine tied up, but I like to tell him about what I did every day. I know this is a sensitive issue I'm not supposed to answer, but it makes me feel better about it, so thank you" he said as everyone awed

"Can you hold my baby, Bearin?" A mother asked her to hold the baby

"Sure! I can't say no to something like this!" Bearin walked towards the mother as she handed over the baby to her, "Aww she so cute!"

They took a picture of her and the baby as everyone else looked in awe, everyone celebrated with them as they close out the convention panel

Lucky was carrying some incense sticks and photos while Ugly, Ray, and Omari carried flowers for the gravesite, Bearly Lord Graveyard

"I hope you guys are alright with my offerings" Said Lucky as he placed photos of 5, 9, Tikk, Eugene, and Sphere on their tombstones

"I'm so sorry that you're like this..." Omari cried as he recognized the five

"It's not your fault, Sora controlled you. You're free now, and they want you to move on" Lucky prayed

"It's fine if you are still blaming yourself for that matter" Ray prayed as well, "I wish that elevator would fit all of us..."

As they still pay respects to the fallen, some people saw them and they began to cry, "they look exactly like them... but they saw them as equals"

"It doesn't matter how it looks on the outside, it's what showed on the inside"

They walked away from the graveyard as the viruses left back home, focusing on the future.

"Are you gonna go back to the FC Multiverse?" I said to my Bear Dad

"Yeah, I gotta look after your sister. I promised her to meet her and your stepmom at the spring festival she's going to." Cuddly said to me

"Tell Lyn I said hello!" I told him

"I will son" he left as I noticed it is around spring, it is already winter in the modern world where Shin and Nate thrive at.

As a 16-year-old official Yokaisona, I want to see what my friend is up to. Every Christmas, I came here to the bridge with Shin and Tae, sometimes Lord Enma joined in.

I have like visited him a couple of times throughout every year because of his age. Now with Shin as a 72-year-old, I decide to visit him again since it's already Christmas time

I am now allowed to visit modern day Springdale cause Enma declared that my family is innocent. I went to the city and saw the beautiful lights below, down there was the bridge that we've first met.

Shin and Lord Enma are already there with their long discussion. I landed softly in the snow while I was walking towards them.

"Sorry I'm late" I said to them

"No, you came right on time. I was just about to leave." Lord Enma said to me

"That's not nice Itsuki, I already told you that he didn't do anything wrong." The older Shin laughed at this familiar moment

"I know, but I still got some work to do. Not only running the yokai world, but understanding the whole truth about you and your family" Enma added

"I understand that you still don't forgive us, but you trust me because of your friend" I said

"I know" the king smiled as he petted my head, "I must be going now, remember what I told you Shin" Lord Enma went back to his ship as the golden mystical craft flew back to the yokai world

"I'm glad you're back, I was gonna surprise you that you have time to see me more every Christmas." Shin cried as he hugged me

"That's really sweet Shin, what does Itsuki said?" I asked

"He told me that there is more work to be done, but I was really expecting to ask you to come to my home" said Shin

"You never asked me to come with you to your house, I was always thinking about how crowded your house is with all the homeless children" I laughed

"It is crowded, but they won't see you in those times, they are into those smartphones you guys carry" Shin laughed as well

"Oh yeah... ha ha! I want to see the rest of your family!" I smiled as we went to the limo towards a large house.

The mansion has a lot of room for those foster children, we entered there and they're gathering together with gifts they're exchanging. "Secret Santas Huh?"

All the kids gather around their father-figure and I was smiling towards the decorative tree with homemade ornaments with the kids name included.

All I now saw was an unopened gift, it has a name tag, but it says "to someone who is on my shoes".

I realized that was my gift from my dear friend, I opened it, and it showed a locket. I never own a locket necklace before, Kukurihime would be a lucky person to receive one of them from me, but when I opened it, it holds a picture of me and Shin together.

It says in the engraving that "Friends til the end" and I was in tears reading it

A note was also attached to it,

Dear Cubbonyan,

You are the one and only Yokaisona who was in my place the entire time. Ever since I've met you, you always have time to make me remember how companionate you are to me. When you told me that you're buying all of the manju just to save my mom, I was shocked of how much I mean to you. I was hoping that I might have time left I have, so I made this locket for you to remember me by...

Now that you saved your world, I want to thank you for everything...

-Shin Shimomachi

Shin came by and placed his hand on my elbow, "it's okay, I'm here"

"I'm glad that those viruses have brought us together, Soranaki was right, bad things happen upon our lives and that darkening power makes us feel strong as we progress. I would love to tell that to Lyn someday" I said to Shin

"Who's Lyn?" Shin asked

"She's my 9-year-old sister on my Bear Dad's side. Lyn or Bearlynda has nature magic that comes after her mom's and she can draw like my dad, but she is shy to let anyone see her artwork. She is half spider and she doesn't like how she looks with extra sets of limbs, she often wore kimonos to tuck in her extra arms and legs to be more Bear-like. I want her to show her true colors one day to see that there's nothing to be ashamed about herself." I hold her picture with my dad and my other mom, she looked taller than me aside from my Shadowside form, looks like she was hiding. She looked cyan with purple eyes and felt comfort with her mother's presence.

"I wonder how she's feeling" Shin replied

"I don't know, she haven't answered my calls lately, probably because..." I mumbled

"What happened to her?..." he said softly

————————————————

The parade was happening at Sakura New Town and Lyn was above her dad, "I can see the performers down there" she said to Cuddly, "you're right Lyn, I can see them"

"Hey Lyn!" A boy with red hair along with a friend with blue hair greeted her

"Oh.. hi Jinpei..." she moaned

"Lyn, it's not nice to greet your boyfriend like that!" Jorogumo nagged her

"Mom! He's not my boyfriend!" Lyn yelled

"I know. We are friends! But I was begging her to be my yokaisona" Jinpei begged

"For the last time Jinpei, you guys don't get it, I am not one! I prefer to be like my mom! My older half-brother is one but he's taken." She disagreed with his request

"I understand, but I know that you can be one, but it's your choice" said Jinpei

"Well she doesn't like to show her art around, now move along Jinpei, the festival is starting to get interesting" Cuddly said to him

"Of course Mr. Bear Man! Come on Koma-kun!" The boys left them as they continue to observe the dancers and performers

Monokuma entered the library that resides in the middle of town, and he gathered the empty books and notepads as Brother Bearly sit down on the chair and placed his arms around the table.

"Okay, so 16 years ago you were left behind with Akunogan..." Monokuma asked, "Can you tell me what happened after you guys were behind?"

"Well I was a yokai at the time, the yokai versions of my friends have caught me and Second Me was the traitor. He and I swapped bodies with me returned in my old body and him taking over my yokai body. So Baro and I decided to break out of here to find Bearlywrote!"

"Interesting! So can you tell me after the jailbreak, the Tooniverse wants to know!" Monokuma asked

"Well... it involves my clothes mostly gone, some food, and some magic that brought me to Bearly Lord and his limbs" He said to the bear

"Explain your backstory! Just be long, specific, and a lot of detail!" he smirked

"Alright... It started out with me flying away..." Brother said softly

The End

I'm glad you guys got to be healthy for me finishing up with my third segment of my Multi Surge series! It has been an amazing road to follow, up until now I was scared about the recent issues with my life and stuff that was effected by the mentioned pandemic.

It may seem like another story I can look back, and I say writing this is among my favorites to write.

Thank you so much for reading along with me! I mentioned you all on my story!
