Naruko: The Kyuubi's Kit

Chapter 2: Kyuubi's Stand Naruko's Salvation

I woke up in a sewer or so it seemed. As I pondered my surroundings I was blasted with copious amounts of chakra, strangely red in nature. I follow my senses and run into a giant fox with nine tails humorously trapped behind a wooden gate sealed by a piece of paper. The fox speaks to my in a kind and heartwarming voice which melodically delivers the message “Come closer kit, you are safe here let us discuss where you are.” I am oddly moved by this creature's voice it was free of hatred and oddly filled with respect.

I approach the cage and it to my fright vanishes leaving me at this creature's mercy. I begin to regain my composure as it shrinks to a humanoid form. It is very masculine with incredibly well sculpted muscles and ultimately he looked to be the embodiment of perfection. His blood red hair, fox ears, nine tails, and wonderfully sedate warming red eyes do nothing but increase this embodiment of perfection. I am engulfed in a hug and in this warm embrace I break down years of sorrow and torment let loose in a torrent of tears. This fox like creature rubs my back soothingly. As I look into his eyes I fall into a trance as they hypnotize me into a state of pure comfort and warmth.

A bed appears and this seemingly benevolent creature sets me down and tells me to go to sleep. In the comfort of the trance I fall asleep feeling loved. If this is simply mind control I would not wish it stopped as this feeling was the best I had ever experienced and I would not trade it for the world.

Kyuubi's point of view

As the battered and broken girl walks to me I can not help but feel a deep pathos towards her. Years of watching her silent suffering had weighed on me, and my conscious would no longer permit me to ignore her plight. As I beckon her the seal to my astonishment vanishes. I see the fear in her eyes in an effort to calm her down I change to my human form. I, for the first time in my life, obey my emotions and engulf her in an embrace.

As she relaxes in the embrace she brakes down and listening to my emotions once more rub her back in an effort to calm her. I sense her fatigue and I know she needs rest and so I fallback to my kitsune magic. I gave her in the eyes putting her in a trance for now I judge that comfort, warmth, and love should work and it is done. Her tears quickly quell as she comforts and I set her to sleep after conjuring up a bed.

Her sadness breaks my heart as I have come to blame myself for her suffering. In the morning I will explain my existence, sins, and disposal of her attackers to her. I look out to that world and see the hatred and malevolence. The danger is obvious and I feel that I am obligated to grant her the powers of the kitsune. Her emotional fortitude more than makes her worthy in my eyes. The only question I have to know the answer to is will she accept being a demon.

After much thought I conclude that the transformation is necessary and if she has objections after waking the changes would still commence. She is powerless in this environment of despair and without help will surely perish. That is why she must become strong. She wants power to help her precious people and I would grant it as a step towards repentance. In addition to this I vow to myself that she will never be alone again. I muse that it is almost absurd that I a great demon lord could be so captivated by this human but then again I have grown to see her compassion and love that is freely given as something great and amazing. I don't know when but I do know that she has changed me.

I was once a savage beast who would attack without provocation or good reason. Factually the latter is not true. The fact that most people are blissfully ignorant to is that all I have ever held precious is now sealed within humans and in an act of true stupidity I brought the payment for the sins of the fathers to the children. The very idea is pure blasphemy as it undeniably true that one can not be held accountable for the actions of the other if we are truly to see ourselves as sentient beings who act of our own volition. She has taught me this much for certain that one can only be held accountable for their own actions performed of their own volition. If anyone has the audacity to question this irrefutable logic the proof lies no further than my kit, Naruko. She has suffered for the sins that I committed and such idiocy is unacceptable.

Naruko's point of view

I wake up on a bed to meet the stare of Kitsune, one whose eyes shine with unmitigated guilt that only the most malevolent of people would not wish to quell. This undeniably masculine creature begins to speak “Kit it is time for you to receive my gift for your birthday. In order for you to defend yourself against these cynical villagers, I must bestow upon you the powers of a Kitsune. You will be full demon like myself, however, my race's superb shape shifting abilities could pass you as a human if you so desire. I beg of you please accept my gift.” Startled I respond in a manner unbefitting of my hidden intelligence “What?” This benevolent creature responds “Your confusion is understandable please allow me to elaborate upon this situation. I am the one you would call the Kyuubi no Kitsune. I attacked this village as a select few humans with strong affiliations to the leaf have slowly taken all that is to me precious. The yondaime unable to kill me made an incredibly wise decision and sealed me into an infant. That infant was you Naruko. I have come to see that my actions were in error to punish the majority for the actions of a minority and I wish to repent. Well perhaps that is incorrect I wished to repent until I saw the vile actions towards you. I hope you will come to accept my apologies to you over time.”

I stood in the sewer, which is my mind, stupefied. This was after all a massive amount of information to take in. I however could not deny acceptance to the one begging for it. One glance in the Kyuubi's eyes would tell anyone that this creature was lonely and isolated. Above that, however, I saw something refreshing acceptance for me, the ideal for which I had languished. His words were true that I would not survive longer in this cesspool of hate much longer without help the beatings were simply too much for my body to bear. I stated clearly “I accept your gift Kyuubi and you do not need to ask for my forgiveness as it is already given.”

Kyuubi's point of view

I stood there dumbfounded at the pure benevolence that was Naruko. Inside a warmth churned no grew it was comforting. The feeling was indescribable it was as if I had no worries that my problems had been solved. That was not all however I also had a feeling of belonging after centuries of solitude I had found someone to accompany me. I did not care that I would no longer be the last Kitsune after the transformation I was simply overjoyed at the idea of companionship. Breaking from my musings I replied with tears in my eyes, the first in my lifetime, “Very well let the changes begin. After this transformation I will explain what has happened to your attackers.”

Naruko's point of view

After being struck by a comforting warmth; I gasp in surprise as I feel myself changing. One would believe such great change to be a cause of excruciating pain they would be in error though in this case. The comfort is the only thing I feel until my ears disappear. This occurrence was cause to hysteria until golden fox ears sprout on top of my head. My nose is the next to vanish only to sprout back in a form that is similar but with senses that are much more acute. My whisker marks become real whiskers as I sprout a tail. The comfort is broken as I feel my skeleton reforming to the shape of a fox. The transformation does not hurt but I am no longer flooded with Kyuubi's contenting chakra. I find myself at the end of this transformation covered in fur and in the shape of a fox.

Kyuubi's point of view

I was awestruck as I gazed upon the beauty of Naruko. She was a beautiful vixen even at her age. The chakra she was emitting though broke off my musings she was already on par with Shukaku in terms of chakra. This was astounding as she had the potential to be my equal if she was that strong with one tail. Tails came with experience and age they also brought with them power if she earned all nine she would be impressive.

Sensing her exhaustion I pull her to me with my tails and cuddled with her. Her mindscape had during the transformation become a vast forest. We would sleep for now we would address the problems in the morning. I had taken care of her safety as she was unwittingly in her own bed sleeping the night away. Having someone so near to me brought a peace that was unrivaled. Perhaps I had found my calling in this world. Only one thing was certain to me at the moment and that is that belonging is indeed a powerful feeling.

Naruko's point of view

I wake surrounded by giant fur tails and I find myself a fox. While a normal person would panic I was anything but normal as I found this to be a comfort. Kyuubi woke up somehow aware of my rousing. A powerful voice rings through my surroundings “Kit, I am glad to see you are up. We have much to discuss about your new body and other things that must be rectified. The first thing on my agenda is to explain the fate of those men who attacked you. They are put simply 500 feet under due to me going overboard on them. As a result of their burial you shouldn't get blamed with anything since the council lacks the corpses to prove they are anything other than M.I.A. Now the next thing is as I am certain you have noticed you have taken on the form of a fox. Now you should be aware that kitsune are master shape shifters and that all demons possess a human form. To enter your human form or shape shift is simply a matter of willing it to happen.

In an act of volition I forced myself into my human form only to be annoyed by the fact that I still possess my ears and tail. After a good chuckle Kyuubi answers “Just imagine them going away and they will. I guess it's time for you to leave just remember if you need me I'm just a thought away. Oh yeah stop calling me Kyuubi my name is Kyo.”

Author's Notes

Don't expect updates to be too frequent; however, I'll try to quit pushing aside the writing for other things. I do enjoy writing a little bit but remember it's not the only thing I do being an honors student eats up my time so don't kill me. I guess expect an update before the twelfth of January possibly by the seventh if I don't procrastinate. I won't hold out for reviews but please tell me what think even if you think I suck.
