A Fox's Kitten

A Fox's Kitten

Koneko- means kitten

'Damn it! Damn it all to hell!' Kurama thought. He had been patrolling the barrier to make sure no rouge demons escaped. But he had been ambushed, millions of demons coming from everywhere to get to him. To make matters worse, he was on patrol alone. He knew he wouldn't make it out alive, but he sure as hell was going to take as many as he can with him. He had been fighting for over 5 hours non-stop and yet none of his teammate have come to aid him. Every time he killed one, one hundred more took its place. He was tiring fast and soon he won't be able to keep going. He was so preoccupied with a handful of demons he didn't sense one sneaking up on him.

Then o vicious ballet roar was heard, as well as an agonized scream. Turning around the red head saw a beautiful forgotten neko in her true form. She had silky well groomed icy blue fur. (she looks like Duchess from the araistacats movie only bigger and more regal looking) she had lilac blended with powder blue eyes. She had the shape of a thunder bolt on each cheek. Thunder and lightning crackling and sizzling around her delicate paws in an intricate dance. She had a gem on her forehead with lightning moving inside of it. She was obviously an electric neko.

She turned her head to him and gave him a scolding look, as if she was his mother and was chastising for not paying attention. Gracefully and regally she glided over to the shocked avatar.

–Need help? –

An exquisite voice, like the very finest of wine that was only to be sampled by the worthy washed into his head.

'A telepath?'

he thought

–Yes, yes. Now let's get rid of these low lives-

he smirked and with renewed energy both charged back into battle. It was mush easier with the neko fighting beside him. She made sure no one came within 50 feet of him and took out large numbers. He had taken care of any who tried to sneak up on her when her back was turned and all the others she didn't get.

Two hours later, all the demons were dead.

–Wow, that was interesting. By the way my name is Hotaru, what's yours? –

'Mine is Kurama, thank you for helping me out there. I was in a real tight spot.'

–No problem besides I was looking for you anyway. - '

Why is that?' he asked a little apprehensive now.

–My kind, after being alive in this world for about a billion years we are assigned someone from this realm that we are to act as familiars to. You were chosen to be the one I serve under for 3 centuries before I am to return home. Though I could choose to leave when the time has come I could also choose to stay. - She explained.

He blinked, 'What happens if I don't want to have a familiar?'

-Then I will be outcasted from my people and not given my rightful birthright as queen. - was her simple answer.

"Then I accept.' Was his reply after he finished sweat dropping from the way she said that so casually.

-Good I am going to show you my humanoid form inside your head so you can know what I look like.-

'Why not show me now?'

-One your friends are coming—and yes I know they're your friends being your familiar I am required to know everything about you-- I am going to stay in my neko form and then shrink in seize when we go into human world. That way you can say to your mom you found a stray cat and decided to 'adopt' me-

'Makes sense' he said thoughtfully

-Oh and your friends are here now and they look angry. – She said before jumping in the air to avoid getting hit by a spirit gun. She turned into her small neko form and ran into Kurama's arms.

Everyone was staring at Kurama, bewildered as he gently scratched the neko behind the ears.

"Guys, this is Hotaru. She helped me out when you were unable to. If it weren't for her I would be dead." He said, he could see them wince when he brought that up but he didn't really care at the moment. What he said was true. He was fighting for 7 hours straight! He was sure he would yell bull shit if they spout some crap about trying to get to him as fast as possible but was held up. Because that must have been one hell of a hold up, it would have t be something like Michael Jackson appeared and he was trying to get them to drink his Jesus juice before he was going to believe that shit! (sorry had to put in something but couldn't think of anything.)

After a few awkward moments they all left to go home though a portal. Kurama wnt home to show his mother the new addition to the family…
