Before reading this there are a few things that you, the reader, should know.

1: I made this for my college English 102, yes, he is letting me write FF, he is awesome~ I literally asked "Is it alright if I use already existing characters?" I had asked while holding out what I had already typed out. He replies with, "Is this fanfiction?" "Yes." I said with a grin, (never shall I deny my Fangirling habits, unless it is my younger sibs…they are still innocent in the ways of the fangirling and I want to keep it that way...). "It is okay, just don't use any existing works' (I am mainly paraphrasing, but HE GAVE ME BLANKET PERMISSION TO WRITE FANFICTION. FOR A GRADE! Do I have an awesome professor or not. I do! XD

2: The rules/explanation of the tails:

A: Remember that Youkai (at least my version) age differently than humans.

B: Tail number 4 can appear at any time, kitsune demons just receive nine in total.

C: Run down on the tails and what they mean

-Tail 1: Born with, baby to tween age

-Tail 2: Have control over some of powers, tween to '19' age, this is where Inuyasha is at (and the reason Sesshomaru does not like him, as he had chopped of Sess's arm when he is still in the 'teen' stage of his life

-Tail 3: Sexual Maturity, 300 human years old, looks early 20's

-Tail 4: Total control over base powers with some specialized skill, any age, can look like is at any age the kitsune chooses but the base form depends of age in human years

-Tail 5: Gets when turns 600 human years old, looks like in late 20's

-Tail 6: Gets when turns 700 human years old, looks like in early 30's

-Tail 7: Gets when turns 800 human years old

-Tail 8: Gets when turns 900 human years old, to put things into perspective: where Inu no Taishō (Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's dad) was at power wise, Sesshomaru is almost at this stage in his life(Inu to Kitsune age/power level is different)

-Tail 9: Gets when turns 1000 human years old, super powerful, don't mess with

3: General Disclaimer: I don't own the plot or any characters from any of the shows, books, manga, movies, or animes mentioned or used in this story. It is just meant for enjoyment. Don't like, then don't read. I don't really care.

4: As stated above this is for my EN 102 class, and the professor wants it to be in 3rd person...I started with it being in 1st, and as such there are now two versions. Both are now uploaded. The plot is mainly the same for the most part with minor differences. Let me know what you think! 3rd person is harder than I thought….
