Kitsune: Bride Of The Nine Tailed Fox- Book 1

Chapter 9

The wedding is in less then a few days and Margos adding the final touches To her outfit.

Mother cut contact except for Margo as she pleads for her to change her mind.

Meanwhile we have a luncheon with brain Kim as he is on his way to Afghanistan in the fall.

Margo goes for an elegant spring look, a beautiful grey dress littered with plan white flours while I go for a wild national geographic safari photographer type look with khaki shorts and an airy white blouse. It was abnornally humid in Korea and it seemed like all the central air conditioners were broken as everyone walked around with fans and umbrellas. I wore a big brimmed safari sun hat while Margo carried an umbrella. Quinn wrapped cutesy around her arm. They were a matching set, a perfect pair of husband and wife. They were the stares in the street as they walked so briskly in tune. Quinn wore a tan suit that fit perfectly, not a button undone or missed completed with a stripped black neck tie.

We met brian at a small cafe and bar. Just to my dismay the air conditioning was broken and in the process of being fixed by the staff.

We were seated at a small round table near the entrance window. It was packed and smelled like cheap smokes and perfume from a box as people tried to beat the heat.

Brian lit a cigar and took a generous drag. He passed it to me and I did the same as I felt the heat enter my body as I blow outward.

"How's your mom?" Margo said lightly as her face was flushed and her hair pasting together from sweat.

"She's doing okay, she's disappointed that I have to leave again but they need all they can and I'm happy to fight."

"That's right, the fall correct? Are you nervous?" She continues and he shakes his head confidently.

"Nope, I've been at it since I was seventeen and I have the Lord's fighting fist on my side so I know I will be alright, no matter what happens." Margo lays a hand on her chest and gasps quietly.

"You brave boy" she says kissing her hand and laying it on his cheek. I say nothing as I look down at my toes through sandals.

"Oh, you reminded me, I brought gifts! Your wedding is in a few days yes? I wanted to get you guys a good luck gift."

He pulls out a box and hands it to Margo as she smiles brightly.

"My I open it? Or should I wait?"

"No no by all means open it now if you wish, I do not mind."

As he says this she carefully prys open the box only to reveal another wrapped in newspapers dating back to what looked like the mid 80s. She unraveled that to reveal a mini shrine.

It jingled as she examined it closer. It was a beautiful gold mini shrine. In the middle was a fox with nine tales who stood proud inside. His teeth were drawn and his tails swong high. Above him were bells that chimed with any little breeze. The fox was very detailed and his eyes shined with red ruby's.

At the bottom of the gorgeous statue was a smaller box. Inside it contained moon shaped cookies.

Margo gasped sharply at the gift

"kumiho!" Was the only thing she said as she touched the tiny foxs head.

"Yeah that is the fox god of spirits, he gives a rich fortune to life and good luck. My mother used to say that the kumiho spirt would bless good people with fortune and a bright future ahead and that he listens to every Pryor and sees ever blessing. I wanted to wish you the best for the both of you."

"Oh you didn't have too, I feel so ungreatful. It's truly gorgeous!" She sets it down carefully as Quinn stared at it intensely.

"It was nothing, I got it while I took a trip up to the mountains. It was the least I could do."
