"I'm gonna prove them all wrong!" Yuta threw down his bag onto his bed, burying is face into his pillows. Hot tears his pillow as he hiccuped, trying to calm himself. He didn't want anyone to see him cry and his as glad he was finally alone. He had finally gotten back to the Academy after a long overdue visit back home, but it didn't leave him feeling much better. His siblings showed off their magic, perfectly preened and ready to make the family proud. He knew it was just to show him how they progressed while he was away bit the Kumiho just felt like they were rubbing it in his face. Rubbing their innate ability in his three tailed face. He didn't feel he had anything to show, just history and stories to tell his friends and family.

But he could do it! He was determined! He could just study harder, do his best! He would show them up... Even though he hadn't really... displayed any of his talent. It was always harder for him, but that's just cause he had three tails, right? All two and three tailed Kumiho's just needed a little boost or just to study an practice more... Right? He could focus on barriers or maybe even charms!

He lifted his head, taking in a big gulp of air, tears beginning to stain his cheeks. If only he had been born with more tails. Everyone in the family seemed to outdo him. "If only..." He whispered softly, wiping his cheeks. But he'll do better. He'll be better than them.
