Disclaimer: (I really hate these sigh) I don't not own any characters of Naruto or the show blah blah blah. However, I do own the characters that I make up, so don't steal them. Thank you.

So now that's over with, I would like to welcome you to my story about a Kitsune or Fox Spirit that is force to steal the Scroll of Seals from the Village Hidden in the Leaves after her family is taken captive. Xui, the Kitsune, thought it would be an easy job, no one gets hurt, she makes a clean get away, but she wasn't counting on one thing, Kakashi. Will Xui be able to seal the Scroll or will her new found conscience named Kakashi change her mind? One more thing, since Xui is in Fox form most of the time, her and any other characters' thoughts will be in Italics.

Special note for those of you who have read my other story, Lotus Petals. I hope you will enjoy this story too. It's one of the other stories I've thought of writing when I first starting watching Naruto. It's kind of a Kakashi/OC... in a weird way.

Chapter One

The moon was hanging low in the midnight sky, the breeze gently blew across my fur and my mind was heavy with thoughts. So many ideas, so many thoughts, so many dangers.

It won't be easy to get pass the ninjas of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, I thought as I put my busy tail around my nose. Stealing wasn't my style, unless it was a chicken and stealing from ninjas was just plain crazy, but I really didn't have a choice in the matter. No use worrying about it tonight, I just try to formulate a plan tomorrow when I to the village. I nestled my nose deeper into my fluffy tail, I just wanted to get some sleep. The spirits know I need it, was my last thought as I drifted into a deep sleep.

The sounds of song birds gently woke me from my tiresome sleep. My dreams were filled with images of death and pain... death of the ones that I loved. Releasing a heavy yawn, I began to stretch out my muscles and bones. The day looked to be very promising, the sun had just begun to rise and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Well you have a long day of investing to do and you have to catch some breakfast, I thought as I crawled out from my temporary borrow. I shook off the dirt and grim the accumulated from my underground dwelling. And I also in serious need of a bath, I looked up and down myself in disgust.

My luxurious silver coat was covered in a thin layer of dirt. Rolling my eyes, I started down the dirt path in search of some prey and a clean stream.

Come closer my little rabbit friend, I thought as I hunched down in the grass.

The rabbit didn't seem to suspect that I was even there though I was only three feet away. It was happily munching on some dew covered clover and didn't have care in the world.

Oh so close, yet so far, I lick my lips impatiently. It hopped a little closer, then a little more; it was so close that I could have just grabbed it then and there. A little closer now...

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT I'M NOT A TEAM PLAYER!" An annoying human voice rang through the forest.

The rabbit instantly jolted away.

Damn! There goes my breakfast, I thought angrily.

Knowing that my breakfast would not come back, I decided to go investigate who was making such a ruckus in the woods at this hour. I weaved in-between the trees and bushes; I didn't have to go far to find the individual that disturbed my meal time. Standing in the middle of the manmade path a young boy with blonde hair and wearing a neon orange jumpsuit was yelling at an adult male. The older male didn't seem particularly interested in what the boy had to say; in fact he seemed down right bored.

I crouched down into the grass as I crawled closer to hear what they were arguing about. I was always interested in humans, at least how they interacted with one another, especially lovers.

"Naruto, that is no way to talk to Kakashi Sensei," a pink haired female yelled at the blonde haired boy.

The boy began to blush as her looked at the girl, he must like her... but I don't think she likes him very much.

"Now Sakura, Naruto can express his opinion... I'll just ignore him," the adult male said nonchalantly.

He was an interesting male, silver hair, only one eye showing and an attitude that said 'you really don't want to mess with me.' He was quite handsome... for a human.

"What?" The boy nearly fell over.

"You heard him. Idiot," a boy with black hair complemented.

He has the same look as the hunters do, but with out the greed part, I thought as I shivered.

The silver hair male looked in my direction, did he know I was there?

"What is it Kakashi Sensei?" The girl went tense.

"I don't know..." he began to walk over to where I was lying.

That would be my cue to leave, I began to back away.

The male stopped about three or four feet away from me, "come on out. No one's going to hurt you." He called in a very sweet and soothing voice as he bent down.

What? Does he think I'm dog? Oh well, might as well come out, maybe I can get something to eat, I cautiously walked out of my hiding place.

Acting shy and moving jerkily, I slowly made my way to the silver hair male.

He slowly put out his hand, "come on girl. Aren't you a pretty little vixen?" I could tell that he was smiling under his covering.

"Oh wow, is that a fox," the girl slowly walked over the male.

"Yes, isn't she beautiful? It's not offend that you get to see a fox in this area, let alone a silver one."

I haven't had this much attention since forever, I sat down and puffed out my chest.

"She's kind of puny, isn't she," the blonde haired boy came up behind the girl.

Puny? I prefer to think that I'm... petite.

"No, she's just a cute little girl," the girl looked at me with googly eyes.

"It's just a fox. Can we just get back to the village," the black haired boy asked impatiently.

Not until I can get a meal off you guys, I thought as I walked closer to the adult male.

"We should consider ourselves lucky to see her. A silver or white fox is considered good luck... sorry there isn't any food in there," he looked down at me as I sniffed the little pouch on his leg.

Sorry, but you owe me a meal, I walked towards the girl.

She just looked at me with the same googly eyes, "she seems really friendly for a wild animal." She bent down to pet me.

"I would do that Sakura. She might be acting sweet, but you don't know what she'll do next. Plus, in old legends, foxes are known to take possession of people," the male warned.

She pulled her hand away from me.

How dare you say such things, I haven't possessed a human in a hundred years, I thought as I began to walk back towards the woods. I could tell that I wasn't going to get a meal off these guys. Besides, they're probably ninjas, ninjas are hard to trick... then why do I think I can steal some Scroll from a village of them.

I sat down at the edge of the road with my back to the humans, I guess they noticed that I was sad.

"Come here, girl," the silver haired male called again.

I looked around to see that he held out a piece of meat.

Mmm... smells like chicken, I dreamily walked over to his extended hand. Cautiously, I grabbed the piece of meat, yes! It is chicken!

He gave me a good rub on the head, "good girl." He straightened himself up, "ok team, let's get back to the village and give our report on the mission."

The black haired boy lipped 'finally', while the other two just went and grabbed their bags.

As they walked down the path, the silver haired male turned around, "you be a good girl and don't play any tricks on people."

Their not bad... for humans. If fact that one human was really... nice, I cheerfully thought as I finished off the chicken. Well you have something on your stomach, you might as well get on your way, I told myself as I licked my lips. Yum, I love chicken.
