Kitsune in YogTowers

Chapter 1 : Intrusion

Kitsune, this means fox in Japanese. In Japanese folklore, a Kitsune holds magical powers to increase its age and wisdom. Kitsunes also have the power of shapeshifting into a human form.

This is the story of Skye, a Kitsune who was created, the first successful creation.

I walk along the long corridors in my fox form, my black, sleek coat somehow doesn't give me away in the white rooms. I'm not sure where I am but it's all I remember, today I'm going to escape from here, not sure why, I just heard that the world outside these walls is a really nice place!

~A few days later~

I'm in a place in England, I think, it's called Bristol, it's raining right now.. I don't know why I believed those people! It's horrible and wet! I prod down the street, a puddle, I've never seen myself before.. I look at the puddle, I've alway known I had black fur but I never knew about my eyes! They are purple, they kinda glow at this low light.

I see a building with some lights off, I'm not meant to be seen by others, at least thats what the people where I grew up said. I squeeze through a slightly open window to find myself in a bedroom, pictures of people I've never seen before, it's quite tidy too. The other rooms are open when suddenly, I smell food! I've forgotten how long it's been since I ate something decent, it feels like it's been ages!

I follow my little black nose into the kitchen where I see food on the stove, is that bacon? I walk over and jump onto the counter, sniffing the bacon, using my small amount of knowledge about cooking, I turn the stove off and begin to try to eat the bacon from the pan, it's really hot so I need to focus not to burn myself. I forgot that I wasn't meant to be seen, because a man with brown eyes and spiked up brown hair came into the kitchen as I finished the bacon.

I look at him and he looks back at me, we hold this stare for quite a few seconds before he rushes to the phone, thinking he will call the people who kept me in the old building, I jump at him. I miss awfully. He looks at me again, confused about why a little black fox just tried to jump at him. He puts the phone down and approaches me slowly, I stay lying on the floor.

"Wow, you are certainly something" he says in a gentle tone, I wag my tail and make a happy squeak, he laughs and I get up, hopping onto the counter where the stove is, I start sniffing around for more food. "Still hungry? You ate all my bacon!" he exclaims, I yip in agreement. He falls silent and looks at me puzzled, "Did you just agree with me?", I nod, his eyes widen.

~Later~

"It's still raining.. I can't leave you out there either.." he says to mostly himself, he fed me and tried to wash me, I ended up nipping him, he left and I washed myself. "Little fox", I look at him "I need to go to work, I'll take you if you promise not to disturb me or anyone else." I cock my head in question, I'm not sure what a 'work' is, but I still yip. He sighs, "I'll take that as a yes then..". He tries to pick me up, but as his hands approach I snarl at them. "Fine fine, just get in the bag and don't make a sound, got it?". He opens a bag and I jump into it, curling myself up, "This will be a long day." I hear him mumble. I fall asleep in a strangers bag, being taken to a 'work', the first day of my new life!
