Kyuubi enjoyed the fearful screams of his victims, the simple instinct his mere presence provoked: to run, to flee, to ride and hope you would be passed by. It was so exciting, to crush the weak and fragile bodies of those vermin in his magnificent fangs. Blood dripped from his muzzle in streams, staining his coat an even darker red and adding to his to ferocious image.
Sweet tasting blood of his kills, the current that drowned away the smoky taste the power of his tails always left. So thick and nutritious, staining his taste buds for a long time after. Even while he slept, he could dream and taste the fresh blood on his tongue.
Such intoxicating power to have them surrendered to fear, at his nonexistent mercy. Kyuubi fed off of their torment, their pain and their dying, hopeless wishes to continue living. He gaffed at their pathetic attempts at life, seeing no reason to do anything but overrun them. No being was superior to him in this way.
Vicious, destructive beast; they cursed him, all the while afraid to speak his name. As if his presence would manifest from such a simple thing. Aware of their talk, yes, but uncaring. Kyuubi cared only for himself.
"Mercy! Mercy!" they cried, dying by his will, overcome by his power. Kyuubi had no concept of such a thing as mercy. Only the weak and helpless contemplated so lowly a concept, those he concurred and fed from. The killing would only stop when he was satisfied, full by their despair. Kyuubi's hunger was limitless, insatiable.
Bloodlust, his addiction, and the fox's all consuming rage that could only be quelled by the deaths of others. Captivated by his selfishness, consumed by madness; Kyuubi's existence was dedicated to fulfilling his need to kill.
