The Pipe Fox Spirit Pt. 1

 

“Yuki! Yuki!” Koga shouted as he entered the all to familiar cave.

 

Looking towards the back of the cave Koga noticed the old demon asleep on the mass of furs. Closing his eyes, as an anger cross began to flash on the side of his head and his eyebrows began to twitch, Koga stomped towards the demon with clenched fists.

 

“Wake…UP!” Koga shouted as he kicked Yuki in his side.

 

Mumbling, stretching, and yawning Yuki squinted his eyes and looked up and grinned as he recognized the demon who had woke him up.

 

“Ah! Young wolf…what can I do for you?” the demon chimed as he sat up, shocking Koga who stared at him for a few seconds before recovering.

 

“You can help me stop that stupid diamond!” Koga shouted down at Yuki.

 

“Wh-What?” Yuki mumbled still half asleep, “Calm and sit down, young wolf, you're not making any sense.”

 

Sighing Koga went over to the fire as Yuki sat on the other side, still yawning and just waking up.

 

“Now…tell me what's wrong?” he said

 

***************************************************************** ******

 

“I…see,” Yuki said as he placed a hand under his chin and nodded after hearing about what had happened with the diamond.

 

“So…isn't there anything you can do?” Koga asked, almost pleading.

 

“I'm afraid not,” Yuki said calmly as he shook his head.

 

“What!?” Koga gasped.

 

“*sigh* Contrary to popular belief, you can't just undo a spell or the power of a magical item once it's become active. Once it's done, it's done. There is no way to reverse it,” Yuki explained as Koga looked at him in shock in and horror.

 

“So…I guess this is the end?” Koga asked, his head tilted forward, his bangs hiding his face.

 

“Hm?” Yuki questioned, raising his head a little.

 

“Remember…we had a deal. If you couldn't help me, I get your HEAD!” Koga shouted as he leapt over the fire in pursuit of Yuki, who dodged with incredible speed and landed on the furs, Koga hitting the ground instead, leaving a big hole in it.

 

`He's faster than he looks,' Koga thought as he cracked his knuckles and stood up. Striking at Yuki again, Koga's knuckles connected with the backwall of the cave as Yuki seemed to disappear and reappear across from the fire.

 

“Although that is true young wolf. I have no intentions of dying now,” Yuki said as he raised his arm, something shooting out of his sleeve and wrapping around Koga's face, who had leapt up over the fire in an attack.

 

“Get…off…ME!” Koga yelled, pulling at the thing around his face, finally managing to pull it off and throw it back at Yuki, who caught it on his outstretched hand.

 

Staring at the strange thing that was around his face, and now around Yuki's hand, Koga finally got a good look at it.

 

The strange creature resembled a furry 4 ft long snake with a little fox's head, that had no visible mouth, with little furry wing-like ears going back and little beady eyes that, although didn't really show any emotions, seemed to be glaring at him.

 

“What is that?” Koga asked as he got up from the furs.

 

“This…is a kuda kitsune, a `pipe fox spirit',” Yuki said, the little spirit seemingly giving him a kiss on the cheek as he held his hand up to his face.

 

“Fox!? That!?” Koga half laughed, half growled.

 

“Yes. It protects me,” Yuki said with a big grin.

 

“Protects you!? Don't make me laugh! That thing couldn't protect anything!” Koga shouted and busted out laughing.

 

“Oh? Really? Let's see you defeat it,” Yuki challenged, a smirk playing across his face.

 

“Fine. That should only take a few seconds. Then, I'm coming for you,” Koga snickered as he cracked his knuckles.

 

“'Seconds'? I'm sure it'll be longer than a few seconds. And, I'm sure you'll lose.”

 

“'Lose'!? To that!? Are you out of your mind!?” Koga yelled.

 

“Maybe,” Yuki said smirking.

 

“That's IT!” Koga yelled, charging at Yuki once again.

 

“*sigh* They never learn,” Yuki said shaking his head as he easily dodged. “Let's finish this, eh?” Yuki asked the little spirit, who nodded and shot off his arm and up into the roof, winding itself up, a strange ball of light surrounding it.

 

“Wh-What?” Koga gasped, holding up his arm as the ball, and light, grew.

 

Finally the ball of light, which had grown to the size of a beachball, settled on the ground and faded. Revealing the little pipe fox spirit, which wasn't so “little” no more.

 

The pipe fox spirit had transformed into a 3-foot high nine-tailed fox, with a pointy fox's head with, that had squinted, almost shut eyes. Large 5 inch wide flat fox ears laying back and strange squiggly lines on its forehead and cheeks that started from above, below and beside its eyes that seemed to come from the back of its head, along with a straight line along its long, narrow nose. The fox's body was very slim, a large tuff of fur surrounding its neck, with long skinny limbs, very long claws, that were at least 3inches long and little flames on its shoulders.

 

“Still think you can beat it,” Yuki asked with an arrogant smirk on his face.

 

“*hmph* Of course I do!” Koga shouted, running towards the enlarged spirit.

 

“Get him,” Yuki told the spirit as it turned its head to look at him.

 

At Yuki's words the spirit flew up into the air, coming down on a shocked Koga, and sinking its fangs in his right shoulder.

 

Koga screamed in pain as the spirit sunk its fangs deep, before finally managing to open its mouth, after a full half-a-minute of struggling, and throwing it towards the back of the cave, the spirit twirling in mid-air and landing on its feet.

 

After landing the spirit opened its mouth, letting out a ferocious hiss, one of its tails whipping out at Koga, who easily caught it before shouting in pain as the end of the tail burned his hand.

 

Drawing back its tail, the spirit charged at Koga who had crumpled to his knees from the wound on his hand, his face lowered and his bangs hiding his face.

 

Looking up and glaring at the over grown fox, Koga jumped towards the roof to avoid the fox's attack before coming down, as it looked up, and giving a strong kick to the middle of it's back and giving a loud shout of “Die!”.

 

After the smoke cleared, Koga stood over the seemingly unconscious fox in crater, from the powerful blow, before looking towards Yuki, who had been sitting on his furs enjoying the show.

 

“*heh* Looks like I beat your fox,” Koga snickered as he walked out of the crater towards Yuki, cracking his knuckles.

 

“Oh? Are you sure about that?” Yuki asked with a smirk.

 

“What!? Are you blind fool I…” Koga growled as something whipped out and hit him in the back, forcing him towards the backwall, Yuki quickly getting out of the way before he hit it face first.

 

Prying himself from the wall and falling on the furs, Koga looked towards Yuki, who was standing by the fox, which wasn't unconscious and was hissing with blood coming out of its mouth.

 

“What? But…how…I thought I…” Koga stuttered as he rose, holding onto the wall, his whole body shaking.

 

“My fox isn't that easy to defeat,” Yuki said proudly, patting its head as it closed its eyes, hissing happily and rubbing its head against Yuki's leg.

 

“Oh really? I'll get rid of it!” Koga shouted, running towards it at top speed.

 

Seeing Koga coming again, Yuki quickly headed towards the back of the cave to watch as the spirit held its ground.

 

Running towards Koga at the last few seconds, the spirit stopped and used its head to flip Koga over itself. His speed and the spirits throw hurtling him towards the cave's entrance.

 

`This shouldn't go on much longer,' Yuki thought.

 

Hissing at Koga, the spirit lowered its front half as all of its tails came at him, pounding the ground and leaving welts in it as Koga flipped and dodged more towards the cliff edge.

 

Showing what emotion it could on its furry face, the spirit smirked as it stepped out of the cave towards Koga hissing, even more blood coming out of its mouth, as it sent one final tail out. It hitting the cliff edge and making it crumble as Koga screamed and fell, trying to catch onto the cliff edge but couldn't with his shoulder injury, his voice echoing throughout the forest as he disappeared into the blue fog.
