Uncle?

Chapter 3

Sam: I don't know. I kind of want to see how this turns out.

Emiko: Samuel Williams. I know that look in your eyes. It's that spark that leads to another one of your books. Now's not the time for-

Sam: No, no, honey. Not at all.

....................... That's it I can't take it.

*Yori POV*

As I watch Emi and Sam talk about their daughter, I look down and see Ryuu in his fox form, shaking really violently in place.

Me: Uuuhhh Ryuu? (Emiko and Sam look down at him) Are you okay?

Ryuu: ........... I'm going.

Me: What?

And without any warning, he immediately bolts after the girls. I guess his competitive nature never left him as time passed.

Sam: Dang, he's fast!

Me: *SIGH* That's Ryuu for you. You give him a challenge...

Emi: And he will do whatever he can to win.

Me: Whelp! Let's get down there.

*Third POV*

As Erma flies ahead of Mitsu and Momo, taking the lead, she couldn't help but feel smug.

Mitsu: Hmm. She's fast.

Momo: Yeah? Well she won't get very far.

As Momo gets ready to throw her yo-yo, the girls couldn't help but hear the sounds of what sounded like quick and hard thumping as they looked behind them to see Ryuu in his fox form, sprinting at full speed down the hill.

Mitsu: Was that?

Momo: Uncle Ryuu?

The girls all look at each other and nod and chase after their uncle. As they start to catch up, Mitsu aims her slingshot and fires a number of small pellets at him. All of which he dodges easily. Momo and Erma then try to tangle him up with their yo-yo and hair. Which he dodges again.

Ryuu: You girls are gonna have to try harder than that!

Ryuu then picks up more speed and runs even faster. The girls are frustrated at this point.

Momo: Ugh! I wanna be mad at him but he's so cool that I just can't bring myself to be!

Mitsu: Tell me about it! Got any other ideas?

Erma then smiles as she goies into the ground and uses the shadows to slowly creep up on Ryuu.

Mitsu and Momo: ......... Cool.

And then Erma uses her telepathy to lift Ryuu up and then tosses him to side tumbling down the hill as they reached the end of their race. With Erma in first, Mitsu and Momo coming in second and third.

Mitsu: That was awesome, Cuz!

Momo: Yeah! Though you could've done that in the first place but oh well.

Mitsu: You'll learn.

Erma: 'Jerks.'

And finally Ryuu came to a stop from his tumble in last place.

Mitsu: Well Uncle Ryuu, looks like you came in last.

Momo: Looks like old age is catching up with you.

Erma couldn't help but silently laugh. As the girls mock him, Ryuu gets up and points behind them. They turn around to see Ryuu, sitting on rock with his hoodie up as he is skipping stones across the lake. This shocks his nieces to see two of him. One of him in human form and the other in fox from.
