InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The love of a Fox ❯ Meeting the one I love... ( Prologue )

Greetings everyone. Fox is back and this is my new Fic. It's taking place in the Inu Yasha universe, but with several changes. In this universe, demons look like the animals they are. A kitsune for example looks like a fox walking on its hind legs, using his front legs as hands. In this first part there is no lemon, but wait until the next one^^ There will be a really BIG one.

Anything else?! … Oh yeah. Have fun…

He ran out of the forest and out into the dying light of the late evening. Panting heavily he looked around searching for a place to hide from his followers. The snapping of some branches behind him announced the soon arrival of them and so he ran into the small village lying in front of him. A small hut caught his attention and he rushed through the door and slammed it shut. A small "Eeep" from out of a corner was heard and he looked around trying to locate its source. And there it was. A young human girl was sitting in the corner and looked at him with fright in her eyes.

"Please be quite. I beg you" ,he whispered and she nodded slightly.

Voices and the sound of a large crowd of humans rushing in one direction were soon heard.

"DEMONS ARE ATTACKING THE VILLAGE!!" ,shouted someone outside. The young man inside the building peeked out of the window and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the group of wolf-youkai coming from the forest.

"Leave or your tainted souls will burn in hell" ,she said with a low, but very audible voice.

One of the demons laughed and approached her, ready to strike. The woman raised a hand and a beam of light shot from her hand and trough the body of her opponent. He collapsed to the ground and his body turned into ash and was blown away by the wind. The other youkai looked at her frightened and retreated into the forest.

Inside the hut the young man sighted with relive, but this simple action caused him very much pain, and he clutched his hand around his left torso and the wound which was caused by one of the wolfs. Blood oozed through his fingers and fell to the ground creating a puddle. The girl cautionously moved towards him.

"Are you all right?" Stupid question Omiko.

He looked at her with a look on his face which said "Do I look like I'm ok?"

"Gomen."

She narrowed her eyes as she tired to look at him, but it was too dark to see details of his body. Only the shape was visible to her. He was tall, slender but muscular. He got broad shoulders and a long bushy tail… tail?!

"What are you?" , she asked, half frightened, half curious.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm a kitsune youkai."

She starred at him. A youkai? One of those beasts? He'll kill me or even worse. I have to escape.

He noticed her frightened look an smiled slightly.

"Don't worry human. I won't even touch you. I owe you my live. Thank you. But now I have to go."

He turned to the door as her voice stopped him.

"Wait. You're wounded. If you wish you can stay here until you are healed."
"I don't want to be a burden."
"You're certainly not. You know, I kind a like you." She turned a light shade of red.

"Then I'll accept your offer. Thank you again. By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm Omiko. And you are..?"

"I'm Kitsu. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Omiko took his paw in her hand and smiled warmly.

"Come on. We'll go to my home and I'll treat your wounds."

He let her pull himself behind her and soon they reached one of the larger huts of the village. They went inside and she told him to sit down. He obeyed and watched her. She stood on the opposite side of the room and searched for something in a box. After some minutes she turned around and walked to him. She sat down and used some herbs to treat his wound and a rag to bandage it. He thankfully smiled at her and she turned a little red.

"So tell me Omiko. What is your position in this pack?"

She looked at him confused.

"Pack? Oh you mean in this village."

He nodded.

"I'm the younger sister of the local miko known as Sakura."

Kitsus eyes widened. She's the sister of the woman who killed the wolf youkai. Damn. She'll kill me if she'll find me

"Omiko I have to go. If your sister finds me here we are in serious trouble."

"No please stay. You see, although she is my sister I have this hut for myself. You can stay here and she'll never find out."

"Indeed. Ok I agree."

She happily clapped her hands.

"Yeah."

They talked some more and then they went to sleep. Kitsu, cause he's wounded, slept in Omikos bed and she slept on the floor. But during the night she woke up and had something to drink. But groggily as she was she laid herself in her bed, right into Kitsus arms. Unconsciously he put his tail around her waist and pulled her near to his chest. She snuggled into his soft fur and smiled in her sleep.

Sakura walked to her younger sisters hut. She wanted to talk to her about a matter that could not wait. She opened the door and entered. Omiko was still asleep, but to Sakuras surprise not alone. Somebody laid next to her and she slept peacefully in his arms. But as she moved closer she noticed some parts of his body that a human should not have. His black fox ears and the red fur covering his body. A demon took advantage of my sister. He'll pay.

Sakura moved closer and tried to free Omiko from the foxes embrace. And she succeeded. Omiko woke up, but her sister had already unsheathed her exorcising dagger and moved closer to Kitsu. She raised her arm, ready to stab him in the chest as Omiko grabbed her from behind and pulled her back.

"No. Don't hurt him. He's harmless."

"Sister look at yourself. You, the sister of a miko, are defending a demon. He manipulated you. I need to kill him in order to free you from his power."
At this moment Kitsu woke up and looked at the woman in front of him with widened eyes.

He jumped up and growled at her. His claws were ready to strike and his fangs were bared.

"Kitsu stop. Please don't hurt my sister."

Kitsu sighted, but obeyed. He lowered his arms and closed his mouth.

"I'm not interested in fighting with you. Your sister invited me to stay here until my wounds are healed and a accepted her offer."

Sakura looked at the kitsune, not sure what to say. The only demons she had encountered were these bloodthirsty human-killing beasts. But this demon was nice and peaceful.

"Then you are allowed to stay in this village until you are at full health. But I don't want you to sleep again in one bed with my sister."

At this comment Omiko blushed.

"This was my fault. I was up at night to drink something and then I laid down in my bed, in which Kitsu was sleeping, instead on the floor where I started the night."

Sakura nodded and smiled at her sister. Omiko blushed a little more and with a satisfied grin Sakura left the hut. The matter she wanted to talk about with her sister was long forgotten.

Omiko and Kitsu sat in the hut and looked at each other.

Boy he's cute. His ears are so soft, just like his fur. I feel really comfortable when I'm around him.

She smiled at Kitsu and he smiled back.

Omiko is a wonderful female. She smells like an early morning in spring ( = very fresh and nice). To bad she's a human and not a vixen. If she were a vixen then I would try to claim her as my mate.

"What about a little tour of our village?" ,asked Omiko.

Kitsu smiled.

"Let's go."

She once again took his paw in her hand and walked with him through the village. Most of the villagers looked at him with fright, or even with hate, but Omikos presence calmed them. If the sister of a miko was with the demon, everything should be all right. Omiko led him to a hill above the village.

"This is my favourite spot."

Kitsu looked around and he thought he knew why she liked this place. An old tree stood there, his branches blocking the sun or the rain. Flowers grew everywhere and birds sang their melodies. It was a beautiful place.

"It's really beautiful. But you are much more beautiful."

She blushed a deep red.

"Do you really think so?"

He nodded and placed his arms around her, pulling her close. He sniffed at her hair and the sweet scent made him smile. He pulled away from her and looked deep in her eyes. Their faces came closer and closer and then their lips met. The kiss was full of passion and both of them enjoyed it very much. Kitsu opened his mouth a little and his rough fox tongue brushed against her lips begging for entrance. She opened her lips to and their tongues engaged in a battle of passion. After several minutes they parted and smiled at each other.

"Kitsu… I… I… think I love you. I have only known you for a day, but I'm sure I love you."

"So do I. Omiko I want to ask you a very important question. Will you be my mate?"

She smiled and nodded.

"I would be honoured. But we mustn't tell my sister, cause she would surely freak out."

A small laugh escaped his throat.

"I think it's time for us to head back to the village."
"Good idea. Your bandages need to be renewed."

Side by side, his paw in her hand they walked back to the village.
