Gather as I tell you about the golden fox, he who bares eyes of a blood moon, and the heart of man.
Marriage of demon, and human made one.
Man's world comes undone.
Tokyo, 2013, 6:23p.m.
A young woman was walking alone the street, it was getting late as the sun fell heavy to the west. She had bags under her eyes, and complained of a terrible day at work. She carried her purse close to her person, always keeping a constant look out as she entered a shady part of the city.
The bad thing is though, being alone still makes one such a great target. So, she wasn't all too surprised when a man came out of a roundabout. Holding a knife out, he looked at her laughing. "Hey there girl, what do you have there. My my that looks expensive." The man said, holding his knife in reversed grip fashioned.
"What do you want?" She asked, though she was already reaching under her coat for her mace. The man however, already played this game so many times. He grabbed her arm, pushing his knife to her throat with the opposite arm.
She struggled slightly, "look sweetie, just give me the purse." She continued, but was trembling out of fear. Tears welled up in her eyes, the look he was giving indicated he wanted something more. It only confirmed her fear more as he started to drag her.
"Better yet follow me."
Having no opportunity to scream, and with the street being empty. She was dragged into a alley, where she was pushed down. The man was smiling lecherously as the woman threw her purse at him. "Take my money, please, leave me alone..." She begged.
The man simply walked closer to her, moving his hand towards his pants. "I will...and I'll be taking the money after I'm done." The man felt something similar to a furry object tap his shoulder. He had a look of anger, and turned around. "What the fuck do wan-ahh!" He screamed as a fist went into his stomach. Followed by the furry object, now identified as a tail wrapping around his head.
The source of the punch, and tail was a person dressed in all navy blue. His tail bore a red color to it's beautifully soft fur. The man struggled as the tail constricted his airway, finally a snap was heard. He fell forward, the snap however was not the man's neck.
He had tried to stab the tail, and found that the poor metal snapped against the skin of it. Like it was iron plated. Finally, he fell forward, all the while the woman looked at the person, scared out of her mind.
"D-d-d-d-d-eeee-deee" She stuttered shaking, she backed away even more. The person's tail stopped the constricting, before it flowed around his waist. He picked up the womens purse, and looked at the owner.
"Tak-take it, don't kill me! Please, demon-san." The person gave her a confused look, turning his head as if it was like a dog. He just tossed the purse towards her, before casually walking up the wall of the alley she was in.
She immediately dialed the emergency contacts.
On top of the roof.
The person simply walked away more, and more. Removing the mask, smiling. "That's another down..." he whispered to the wind. His blue eyes looked at the sky above as he removed his head piece. Quickly getting out of his shozoku.
Under his shozoku, he wore a simple garb. A orange T-shirt, and black cargo pants. The only the only two key features was twin sets of whisker marks on his face, he smiled as he clapped his hands together. The tail was gone in puff of smoke, but his ears, fox like in nature still adorned the top of his head.
The boy kept walking, picking up a bottle off the roof, obviously alcohol. Though he still took a sip, and crossed a makeshift roof bridge. Probably made by some true parkour freaks. He brought out headphones, and an iPod.
"Sweet still got my favorite burrowed thing." The boy said, before playing a song by a band called Wolfmother. The boy tapped his leg to the guitar that roared into his ears from the device. The child smiled, as he looked at the street below him. Still slightly shadowing the woman, who was now rounding the corner.
Inside a police car, being taking to questioning. She was innocent, simple protocol.
The boy sit down on the edge of the building, which was near ladder, so no would arouse suspension on how he got up there. Nor would anyone ask about the ears, since it was the festival foxes. For all the common folk knew, they were fake.
The way he liked it. Although the music now cut out on his iPod, replaced by a radio broadcast. "In earlier news today, the Teen Titans West took down the super criminal known as Cinderblock. The fight that ensured left three buildings heavily damaged, but the super villain was caught. Arrested, and sent to prison once again." The boy rolled his eyes, before smiling a toothy grin.
"I need to hit the U.S, Japan is really getting boring..." He spoke out loud, though low enough for no one to hear him. The music starting playing, back, and he got up. The redhead smirked, before making a dashing run back towards the alleyways of the buildings.
He jumped across a large gap, at least a twenty foot leap. The boy looked at the clock, and smirked. "Plenty of time."
Boy's POV
I ran hard, leaping over the 'minor' gaps of the buildings. Jamming all the way, and learning about the Joker, and the thieve of the night. I leaped over a larger gap, still going unnoticed. My senses, all higher than any humans were locking onto multiple things.
My sense of smell, alcohol, my sense of taste...well I was looking for ramen. Truth be told, I don't care about hiding, it's just I don't want to be a poser. Like the Teen Titans, hell even the Justice League. Although I am a big fan of the Batman, I have to admit they'd been slacking off recently.
Crime rate has lightly peaked, though who could blame it. The younger 'heroes' were all busy with growing up in the lavish life style of hero. You see the point? I don't care, hell the iPod I'm listening.
Granted with kick ass music playing. Was my only little trophy. I stole it out of man's 'collection' of ill acquired goods, the cops aren't all the wiser. Besides, the way I see it, I think one little bitty iPod wouldn't matter.
Granted it looked like it booted as a phone, but hell, I don't have friends so I'd never need the phone part. I flowed through the air, as Superman would when he flew. In a way I was jealous of flying superheros. Able to flight like birds, not be limited to the ground. Though, unlike me...they'd lack stealth.
Well, enough about that. Though I'll admit that I'm a fur (thief) for now. I slowed down as I came into a small shack, on top of one of the buildings, and smiled as I walked. This was my humble little hideout. Well, one of many all over Japan.
I walked inside, throwing the rest pack I packed my shozoku in, throwing it to the side. I sat on a raggedy hammock, and picked up another ill gotten item. A guitar, I decided here that it'd be best to take out of headphones. So I did, my ears twitch slightly without the noise.
Part of being a 'demon' a guess, I'm in love with music. Well, hold up, not only music. You see I'm thirteen, so I do have some other loves, one of which was for alcohol. I do drink a little here, and there. Not much. Just enough to curb my anger.
Which I had for attempted rapists, or thieves that didn't give back. Well...wait a minute, scratch the last one. I hate murderers as well, but if they kill for revenge, eh who could really say what is wrong there. It really depends ya know?
Like if I knew a man who hurt my family, then I'd be inclined to eliminate the threat. Thought to be honest, I can't help but say I'm happy with the way I am. No family, no friends, just me myself...and well...
"Having fun my kit?"
There is this giant fox that lives inside of me, but hey he's a pretty good guy. Well, when he's calm, not pissed off. You'd swear he was an angel. I mean, c'mon a demon doesn't always have to be bad, right? Fuck it, who cares, I don't!
"Kind of, bit of a slow day, maybe I've finally cleaned house here." I mentally shot a message back at the giant within me. The giant fox only laughed, causing me to chuckle as well. "that'a boy...how is your chakra supplies coming along?"
"Can't complain, I mean I don't really need the techniques if I'm going up against two bit crooks...do I?"
"Well, it'd never hurt you to practice them. Especially on live targets."
"Sheesh, the ball thingy, the one your teaching me...it could do some serious damage."
"Well, what if you get into a fight with one of those super villains?"
"Then I'll kick their ass...I mean if a team of FIVE posers could do it, then I could."
"Lord...you have such hostilities towards them. If you ever get 'discovered' then you be sent to one such place to train..."
"It could be frigging Batman for all I care, I'd tell them to get the hell away from me."
"Kit, c'mon, don't you feel at least bit lonely. After all, the news is about to start, and I know you like the prime minister's daughter...she'd make a fine mate."
"Haha, very funny..."
I had to admit he had a point, she was beautiful girl. My age, with very unique eyes, and hair. I wonder if she dyed it like I did, personally my tail is the only thing is naturally red, while my hair is blonde.
I self taught myself to dye hair, even paint my face on 'scouting' trips. "kit the news...lets see if we can get on tonight? You know, from last week." I quickly grab my remote, and turned on my pirated electric Television set.
"Zzzz, gr-zzzz-zzz" I throw my remote at it, making it come in full picture. "Piece of shit..." I mutter under my breath, but my breath get's taken away when I see the prime minister at the stand with his daughter at his side.
"Greetings Japan, and welcome to the National pride news network channel. Tonight our report Ikue Azaka is on the scene in a press conference with the prime minister of our great country Uddo Minakai. Ikue?"
The scene changes to a female reporter, very buxom, definitely trying to get noticed. Though I ignored this, still my hormones didn't. "Yes Sasaki, I am at the scene now. The minister has come to give press conference regarding the mysterious drops in common crime rates over the national area. A common crime is described by the instances of thievery, assaults, and abuse. Along with cases of people being publicly causing a ruckus."
I smirked, pride swelled in my chest.
"The mysterious drops in crime rate is likely due to the additional of several new Titan children. One of which, already famous Bushido, who of which attended as a honorary guard at the discussion today. Though I can't seem to find him."
My eye twitched slightly, "are you fucking kidding me that's a load of bullshit! Where was these guys at, oh right, sucking paparazzi photos."
"However, in the Tokyo area, a new hero...many are calling the Ninja Demon, Kitsune, or perhaps the title of Shadow Fox. A name given to a once great hero who fought a evil villain...giving his life to protect the city thirteen years ago. Many could not find the body, even today. So, is this the rise of the new Shadow fox? We'll hear the minister's response to this and more tonight."
The camera panned towards the minister, I watched as he coughed, taking the podium. "Hello fair people of Japan, I am here to give you all some very warm news. News that can make you rest at eas...zzz." I roared out in frustration, and threw a piece of broken glass at the television.
It came back on soon afterwards, "and that our crime has fallen due to a combine effort of Titan's east corps, and the many vigilant heroes we have here today. However, I must point out that the one currently unknown to me, Kitsune. Has been put on a search list."
Search list?
"The search list is used to track down any unknown villains, or heroes. Hopefully establishing a profile about them, and such. I announced with success that we've managed to database three more heroes, along with several no good crooks. I'm simply now asking that any upcoming heroes please come out into the light."
I prefer darkness prime minister sorry...
"Anyways, as of now the JDF has partnered with Titan's new corps Titan's Asian Crops. Or TAC for short. They will be joint ranks with TTW, TTE. Hopefully increasing coherence between our cultures heroes."
I rolled my eyes, well at least I got put on the search list. I get out some old stale bread, and begin to eat.
"Anyway, as time goes by we hope to drawn many like Kitsune to the open. Be it good, or bad. Thank you." I watched as he left the podium, and sighed. Watching as his daughter left, she must have a very good life...
BOOM!
"Naruto!"
"Yeah, yeah I'm on it!" I shouted, frustrated since I only got relax a little bit. Then suddenly hell breaks loose. I get up from my hammock, and quickly unpack my shozoku. I quickly put it on, while heading over to the t.v. I reach behind it, grabbing a bow, with a quiver of arrows.
"I just might need them this time..." I thought, strapping it to my back, my tail reappearing as I got ready. I slid down my hood, and smiled. My tooth lightly poking out, and I ran outside.
Outside Naruto's shack, Tokyo, 7:27p.m. NORMAL POV
The now identified Naruto landed on the street, there a large man was wearing a mech suit. "Holy...shit..." Naruto managed to say, dodging a spray of gunfire. The boy breathed heavily for a moment, and smirked. He formed a cross with his fingers as three copies of himself appeared behind his cover.
"Wedge formation..." He simply said, the clones nodded. Going up top the building, and Naruto felt them get dispersed immediately. The boy just rolled his eyes, "that was dumb...plan B." He said in his mind, forming some hand seals.
He was behind an alleyway, but he had one of advantage. Just below him was a sewer line, and he knew what to do here. He focus his chakra into a pulse, sending it into the electrical systems underground. Which shorted out the steam pipe controls.
Naruto just needed to hold the mech suit guy in place. "Yo!" Naruto shouted, stepping out. The mech suit guy took notice, and sneered down at the boy.
"You think you can take on Bullet Storm!" He shouted his alter ego name. Naruto just rolled his yes, "What a fucking stupid name..." the boy then smirked, flicking off the man. Who then got beet red from anger.
"You little shit!" He pointed his guns at the Naruto, who was pointing down. The man looked down, tilting his mech suit. The next thing that happen was a blanket of hot steam upwards, Naruto quickly took the screams of the man as sign to attack.
Pulling wire from his shozoku, he dodged a blundering hit. While the man held his eyes, screaming from the pain the steam caused. Naruto jumped around, going round, and round the legs of the robot. He smirked as he stopped. His ears perked up to the sound of clicking.
He barely dodged a spray of bullet fire, and using inhuman strength, he pulled the unnaturally strong wire. The mech fell down, and the redhead smirked. "Guess I didn't nee-oh shit!" He shouted, seeing a flash of light coming at him,
He barely dodged as a rocket zipped past him, exploding in the skies above. Luckily missing any buildings, The guy known as Bullet Storm got up, and pulled the wire off. "You little brat...I think you should play with Cena." The naturally blonde Naruto looked to his right, and saw a small red dot travel up.
"Fu-oh shit!" The redhead barely dodged as a bullet slammed into the ground where his foot was, he ducked behind a car. "well...two on one...is this because of minister's call to reveal themselves?" Naruto slammed his palm into face.
"Call...you could have said that in the first place..."
"What? Oh wait...yeah that would work out just fine. Hehehe."
The redhead, brought his hand towards his mouth. Biting into it, he made a blood incantation, before slamming his palm into the ground."Ketsueki kari! (Blood hunt!)!" Naruto shouted, the blood began to form into a small band of multiple tailed foxes.
Each having a hungry look in their eyes, and they looked towards their summoner. The larger of the foxes, one with three tails smiled. He was no larger than a tire, and asked the summoner a simple question. "Masutā kon'nichiwa, watashi wa anata o dono yō ni hataraku koto ga dekiru.(Hello Master, how may I serve you.) "
Naruto looked up, barely dodging a bullet to the head. He looked back down at them, climbing back to safe point behind the car. He smiled a wicked smile, a small trickle of blood flowed from his mouth where he had bit his hands.
"
"Watashi wa anata ga watashi wa sono hōshu o toru tasukete ageru hitsuyō ga arimasu.(I need you to help me take out that gunner.)" Naruto spoke in the foxes language, and smiled as the four foxes nodded. Each a little smaller than the three tailed one. The smaller one with the sharpest smirked.
"Seishi?(Dead or alive?)" It asked, once again in the foxes language.
"Araibu! (Alive!)" Naruto ordered, before running out behind the car, flipping his mask up. Forming hand seals, causing three clones of himself to appear.
The foxes quickly dashed up the roof, tracking the scent of powder from the gun that just destroyed the first of Naruto's three clones. The said boy was side stepping the aim of Bullet Storm, who shouted for him to "HOLD STILL!"
Naruto got out his bow, and quickly strung an arrow. The clones did the same, they fired a small barrage of three arrows, which were deflected by the metal plating. The man in the suit called over his mic, "Cena, take him out!"
"Sayonara, Kuso ttare (Bye bye asshole!)" Was his only response, and he looked as the boy jumped high into the air. About to deliver the knock out punch. Until someone in Samurai uniform came, and sliced the man's suit's legs. Causing Naruto miss horribly.
The fox boy slid a little on the ground, before coming to a stop. The samurai put a finger to his ear, "we got'em, including the foxes...yes...I know they disappeared." Naruto got up, and glared hard at the samurai. He was nursing his rapidly healing asphalt burn.
"Yo asshole!"
Naruto POV
I was furious, I almost took down my first two super villains, by myself! Then this asshole comes, and steals the show away from my near victory. "Yo, asshole!" I shout again, and this time he takes notice. Motioning for me to shut up.
"Oh hell no! You look here, I had this under control!" The Samurai looked at me, anger slowly building anger. My right twitch, and I just cross my arms. He then nodded, before turning of his communicator.
"You are going to have to come with me, Kitsune-san." My eye twitched even more, and hell no I was not about come with him. I simply flicked him off, before suddenly realizing something. "How do you know my name?"
"That is none of your concern, please come with me..." I backed up, stringing an arrow into my bow. Several clones formed around me. I focused chakra into the arrowhead, ready to blow up smoke arrows if I had too, only to get surrounded
"Drop your weapons! All four of you impostors!" I looked around, hearing the sounds of guns clicking around me. I unstrung my bow, and put it down. My clones dispersed, before I saw the Samurai walk towards me.
"Were you with them?" He asked, I shook my head.
"Are you lying to me?" He asked me, and I gave the same response as before.
I watched as he moved his gaze towards my tail, and smirked. "You a demon eh? Well, guess Raven of Titan's west won't be the only one of her kind doing heroism for the moment." I felt a little insulted, and then he smiled.
"Guess, you should put these on." He said, handing me a pair cuffs, and begrudgingly I put them on. I look deep into him, he didn't have any ill intent...yet. I smirk, and move away as he reached for my mask.
I grit my teeth afterwards, " " He just stared at me, shaking his head.
"Are you going to be difficult?" I spit onto his armor, and stuck my tongue out.
He took one second, and shook his head. "Oh poor baby's armor dirty?" I said as soldiers started to escort me.
A helicopter like plane landed in front of me, it was opening. Soon...I was inside of it. The door began to close, and soon...a begrudgingly new chapter would begin in my life.
Regardless if I'd want it or not.
