Guarding and guiding the people who lost their way in the forest, making sure that peace would always reigning over the Land.

One day, a human girl entered the forest, this girl was a Shaman, the one who connect the Living and the Dead. The Shaman collapse from days of hunger and thirst, exhaustion from running away from the Onis.

The Mystical Fox who was guarding the said forest found the girl, the Fox woke her up and give her water along with fruits, the girl express her gratitude to the Fox and ready to continue her way. The Fox had taken an interest to the Shaman and followed her until the edge of the forest, and from that day onward the Fox watch her, become her Guardian while still protecting the forest.

The girl saw the Fox and spend some times with the Fox, days passed and they become friends. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. The human girl had grown into a gentle woman, and the Fox still accompany her as her Friend and Protector while still doing the duty of Mystical Fox.

Everything was peaceful, until an incident happened. The woman was attacked by a thief, the Fox protected the woman, but not without receiving an injury. The woman was sad and blamed herself for what had happened, she helped the Fox back to health and never stray afar from the Fox from that day onwards.

A man then entered their lives, he fell in love with the woman and get married with her, they were blessed when the woman's pregnancy confirmed. Unfortunately, the man died by sickness, leaving the woman to care for her child by herself. The Fox had gone for a few days, when the Fox returned, the Fox was expecting it's own cub.

When the woman and the Fox gave birth at the same time, the Fox's Magic had surprisingly grew stronger, too strong even. The Fox's cub was unusual, the cub had nine tails and had a similar appearance with a human, which surprisingly looked exactly like the woman's Son. The Fox's cub was the first Ninetails ever gracing the Earth.

Sadly, the woman had to go into a place with more humans to raise her Son, the Fox had to return to the forest to raise the Ninetails away from humans. The woman and the Fox made a promise, a promise to never forget about each other.

Years passed, the woman and the Fox keep their promise and never forget about each other, the woman told her Son about the Fox and it's Ninetails cub, telling him that if he ever see a boy with his face and had Fox tails, then the boy was his friend and he had to protect the boy. The Mystical Fox didn't have the chance to tell it's cub about the woman due to the Fox get killed by an Oni. The Ninetails had took it upon himself to do as the Fox did and protect the forest against the Onis.

So many years passed, the woman had long died, and the human boy had grown into a teenager. The teen ventured into the forest in hope to meet with the Fox and the Ninetails, and he did meet with the Ninetails but found that the Fox had died.

Friendship was something the teen and the Ninetails developed very quickly, they cared for each other and treat each other like their own Brothers. With the teen's help, the Ninetails learned how to use his Magic to make him appeared human. He left the forest after a new Mystical Fox appointed to protect the forest in the place of the previous one arrived, the teen and the Ninetails stayed together ever since, often refusing to let the other out of their sight.
