A Bijuu's Tale
Shukaku
-
The Bet
It was still funny, after all these years.
Still funny, hilarious even.
He was the weakest and wrought the most havoc.
He was Shukaku.
Ichibi.
One tail.
All he ever needed was one.
Where other demons spent their lives gathering power and hiding,
He was the one people spent their lives fighting.
Shukaku.
Ichibi.
One tail.
All he ever needed was one.
One tail, and one bottle of sake.
With that he could take on the world.
It was really Kyuubi's fault;
But it was still funny.
Hilarious.
Drunkard. What could a weak little Tanuki like you do?
Shukaku.
Ichibi.
One tail.
One bottle.
One night.
That was all it took to solidify his legend.
Kyuubi lost the bet, and Shukaku thought it well worth it.
It was still funny, after all these years.
A/N-
So, yeah, I thought of this between classes and had the urge to write it. Backstory: Shukaku is a drunken-fist fighter and works best when liquored up. Kyuubi didn't believe in the human drink or the tanuki's abilities (such as they are) would ever make him stand out. Shukaku won when he forced the sand village to seal him up.
