Margaret was on her Phone explaining to Mariah Woodville about what happen last night.
"and after that, I saw my son's face on the phone, his eyes were different, and he had fox whisker marks on his cheeks, do you think he finds the fox key to open it?" Margaret asks her.
"if he did a Hulu Jing fox must have brought you back because your son had wished for it," Mariah said.
"But I still can't figure out how he finds the key, I did hide it within the box years ago," Margaret said as she didn't understand this.
"the Hulu Jing could have been able to tell him where to find it when he was in mourning for you, it is possible I have heard when someone experiencing High emotions of grief and sorrow if a Hoshi No Tama has no alive owner the soul of its last owner would be able to talk the ones in sorrow," Mariah explain to her.
"I wish I can leave this hospital now so I can talk to my son about this, but the doctors will not let me leave yet, and my husband doesn't know anything about what was in that box or me and my father pass with the curse, " Margaret said as she was worried if he finds out the truth or something bad happens to her son.
"if you want, me, Melanie, Frank, and Derek could come over and see what going on and if justin ok," Mariah suggested.
"that sounds like a good idea, please tell me if you find out anything," Margaret said.
"don't worry about it I and my kids will do for you," Mariah said before she hangs up.
back with Justin and his cats.
after Justin was finished serving his cats their food and getting himself dressed for the day, he went into the dining room where the great big China Cabinet.
the dining room had such great wooden furniture, it had 8 chairs around the table, fake plants around the room, a very old fancy carpet under the table that was black and gold, a handcraft Chandelier, the walls, and floor all painted to look like it was all wood and the great big Breakfront Lighted China Cabinet was fell up with beautiful japan silver China.
justin walks over to China Cabinet looking at it until he heard someone calling for him from behind, "hey justin," he turns around to see it was his older brother Jaxon.
"oh hey, big brother," justin stared, "have ever seen a fox key in here?"
"no why do ask me that?" Jaxon asks as he wanted to talk to his little brother to see if he was ok.
"you know, this all used to be grandpa and grandma stuff before grandmother died six years ago, and a year after that grandpa gives his house to us and move to Japan, do you think they left things in this house for no one to know?" justin asks him hoping he knows something.
Jaxon look confused for a moment, "no, why do you ask that?"
"it's nothing, I just thought of trying to find anything that hidden or lost," justin stared as he over to his older brother and hug him, "but im also happy to know that mom is back."
Jaxon hugs him back, "oh you know about that, well that good to hear."
"yes dad called me last night and saw mom was alright, I just hope she comes home soon," justin said.
"me to justin, hey by the way why do you have black marker on your face?" Jaxon asked.
"to be honest I don't really know I think maybe sisi pull a prank on me," Justin lie as he didn't know how to explain the truth to him.
"ok... I have to go get some things, call me if you need me," Jaxon said as he headed out.
justin went back to the china cabinet, "now where could that key be?"
Justin looks everywhere in it, he looks in it, he opens it up and pulls everything out and finds nothing, "I don't get it... I thought I would find it by now," he started to put everything back as he started to hear mina voice again.
"did you even check inside the teapots?" mina ask him.
'no, I didn't,' Justin thought as he grabs the biggest one and holds it upside down, and the fox falls onto the floor, 'so that where it was,' justin pick it up and wonder, 'why would grandpa hide this?' Justin mind began to think about the keys with foxes on them, 'wait a second I think I saw more of there's and where they are,' Justin thought as he remembers seeing others before.
justin walks into the kitchen where he could remember seeing a fox key before.
the kitchen was small and it was all white, there was a big island to eat at that was next to the entry to the living room, on the other of the island was the fridge, counters, and cabinets going around the rest of the room, the was a sink, and some other things to decorate the kitchen.
justin went to the cabinet knife drawer, he opens up and pulls all the knives out and at the end of that, he finds another fox key, it had was a little small cartoon wooden sleeping fox key.
flashback five years
justin was looking around in the kitchen, he opens up drawer by drawer until he opens up a drawer that he finds a lot of sharp knives but on top of them, he saw a was a cute little fox key, and he picks it up and gazing of how cute it was.
his mother walks in with a box, "hey son what you got there?"
"mom look I find a cute foxy key," Justin stared, "what do you think it opens to?" he asks his mother.
Margaret put down the box on the island and went over to her son to the key, "oh I haven't seen that key in years, "it was made by your grandpa, he left it in his knife drawer because what open this is something very sharp.
"Really what could be very sharp? mother?" Justin asks as he wanted to know.
"it something your grandpa love using a lot when he was a young man, but right now we got to finish unpacking and pick you a room," Margaret said as she took the key from him and put it back in deep within the knife drawer, as both lefts to get the rest of the boxes.
flashback ends
justin hold the key close to him, "something that very sharp? huh, well im going to find out," Justin left and into the living room.
the living room was small, it had Old Rugged flooring, a couch that was right next to the front door to the other side of the wall, that was enough room for everyone to be sitting at to watch tv at, the tv was a flat-screen TV on the wall, a wooden glass coffee table in the middle, and a big fish tank that was a gift for his dad.
that tank was filled with beautiful saltwater fish, plants, and decorations and he saw a fox hey on top in the middle of the tank on a rock, it was gold and small but long with a fox picture on it.
flashback five years ago
justin walks into his mother putting something in the tank, "hey mom what are you putting in there?"
"Just adding a new decoration into the tank, I call it the key of the sea," Margaret said as she put it in.
"but see it has a fox on it mom," Justin told her.
"alright it does but I just wanted to put something new in here for your father," Margaret said as she closes the tank.
"ok mom, I think it's a good idea then," Justin said and hug her.
The flashback ends
justin grab it and pull it out and saw it did have a fox on it, "what is with all these foxes on the keys?" Justin went to his parent's bedroom, knock, knock, knock, "hello dad?" he went in to see his father was not in there.
the floor now had grey rugs, the walls were painted dark blue, queen size bed, a tv, a bookshelf, a work desk that had a laptop, some plants around, a bookshelf that cover the secret Door.
justin walk over to the bookshelf where he saw a book that he uses to read when he was little.
flashback three ego
justin was coming to his parent's bedroom where he was coughing like a storm, "mom... "cough" do have... "cough" some cough medicine I can use?" "cough."
Margaret had a book open looking but looking at his son, "no im going to have to buy some for you, son how about you sleep in here for now,"
"ok mother," Justin stared as he got in the bed, "hey mom what are you reading?"
"it's that old book you like about nine tail foxes," Margaret said as Justin went to sleep.
flashback ends
justin could grab the book as he thought about it, he saw a bookmark that was a black fox with roots with leaves on it, he picks out of the book to see it was another fox key.
justin was shocked by this, 'why are there five fox keys here in this house, Justin open the book and read some of it to see if this book had something else hiding in it.
one page stuck out to him.
when a Kyuubi kitsune dies its soul is seal away inside of its Hoshi No Tama until a human finds it.
any human that finds one can make one wish for anything they want but with one price to it, they become the new owner of the Hoshi No Tama, turning them into a Kyuubi kitsune.
the soul of the last owner becomes a Huli Jing means Spirit fox, it is their job to help the new owner before passing on to the afterlife.
the human looks don't change that much, the eyes change by a little, but their cheeks change by showing three lines on each side.
a Huli Jing can be seen in reflections, can tell them how to use the bases of their powers and come into their dreams to show them things that want them to know, they can speak in their mind to help them.
justin was surprised by that page in the book since yesterday everything said here had happened to him, and now that he thinks of it, did he actually bring back his mother alive, did she even know what was inside of that chest box, or did she really forgot?
before justin justin could do anything his father came in, "hey justin what are you doing in here?"
"I was looking for a book to read, dad," justin said as he put the fox keys in the book and try to walk out but his father stops him.
"son why do you still have those lines on your face?" jasper asks.
"I woke up and sisi pull a prank on me, I will be going wash off now," justin said as he left the room but dad stop him again.
"but didn't you wanted to tell me something else last night?" jasper asks.
"I forgot what it was after talking to mother and going to sleep right after that," justin lie and left the room fast, he went back to his with the book and the keys, he got on his and started to read what was in that book, to see what he find out about this Kyuubi kitsune stuff.
