Hey there readers, this is my first Pokémon fanfic.
I do not own Pokémon!
XxXxX
I never wanted this to happen. I never thought I would have to choose between my heart and my family. Now, because I fell in love with him, everything is on the line, and I have to make the hardest decision of my life. No matter what I do, I can't save both of them. Each of them has a special hold on my heart and, in the end, part of it will be broken...and it's all our fault.
One Week Earlier
I began to wake as the sun's light drizzled into the den. I looked over into my father's nest. His scent was stale, which meant he had gone off hunting last night. I got up and stretched my legs, and stepped out of the den, the warm rays of sunlight tickling my fire red fur. My six tails swished in happiness, in a way it reminded me: it was the first day of spring.
"Kirai!" A voice barked behind me. I turned to see Kitsune, leader of the Ninetails' pack, and my father. He dragged in a plump Pidgeotto and placed in front of me.
"I thought you would like some breakfast." He smiled.
"Thanks, Dad!" I yipped, before plunging myself into the feathery Pokémon. Kitsune let out a sad sigh.
"Pidgeotto was your mother's favorite." I stopped. Kitsune never spoke of mother. He always told me I was too young to understand. I decided to try to ask again.
"Dad, please tell me about her...I never got to know her." I pleaded. Kitsune sighed.
"Your mother was the most beautiful creature on earth. Her fur was white as snow, and soft as down. Her eyes, a mesmerizing amber..." Kitsune paused lost in memories. "Her name was Kiiro; I met her a few days after I became fell in love instantly. A few months later, you came along, just a little egg. Your mother was so kind and compassionate. That was what I loved about her...It's also what killed her."
"What happened, Dad?" I asked lapping up every detail he was telling me.
"A Mightyena by the name of Kuro came to our clan, begging for our help. He said his pup was in danger and he needed help right away. I sent him away. Your mother disapproved. She was stubborn as hell; I'll give her that. That's probably where you get if from Kirai. She snuck out with him, thinking she was saving a life...We found her the next day covered in blood. We've been at war with the Mightyena ever since."
"But, Dad, how do you know it was the Mightyena that killed her?" I asked, puzzled.
"She left with a Mightyena and was found dead... What more proof is there Kirai!" Kitsune growled at me. I flinched. Kitsune looked immediately guilty.
"I'm sorry Kirai; it's just so painful, knowing your mother never got to see you hatch, never got to see what a beautiful Vulpix you've become."
"I'll be even a more beautiful Ninetails, Dad." I promised.
"I'm sure you will, my Kirai." Kitsune laughed as he licked me between the ears. I flinched back. I hated it when he did that.
"Dad, can I go play now?"
"Sure, just be careful, and stay away from-"
"The dark woods. I know." I huffed. Kitsune told me over and over to stay away from Mightyena territory. Kitsune sighed.
"Get out of here now, before I change my mind."
"Bye, Dad!" I squealed as I ran off into the forest. I decided to pay my best friend Suchiiru, a Riolu, a visit.
"Suchiiru!" I called as I sat in front of his cave. Instead of Suchiiru coming out, his father Kootetsu, a Lucario, appeared.
"Hi, Kootetsu, can Suchiiru come and play?"
"Sorry, Kirai, unlike you, Suchiiru isn't royalty who has all the time in the world to play. He actually has work to do." Kootetsu growled before padding back into the den.
"Well, that was rude. I always knew I didn't like that Lucario." I thought to myself as I padded off in an unknown direction, lost in my thoughts.
"Man, who do I play with now? Yoru is sick, Sora is training in Ember fields today..." I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't see the large crevice in the rock I was heading towards until it was too late. My paws slipped on the slick stone, wet due to the previous night's rain. My paws skidded across the rock as I flailed to keep myself from falling-to no avail. I fell into the deep crevice with a thundering thud.
"What are you doing here?" Someone growled. I looked up sharply to see something out of my worst nightmares. In front of me stood a Poochyena.
Like it? Review if you think I should continue. Flames welcome. All the names I use are Japanese names if you didn't catch on that describing the characters.
Kirai- Hate (for the hatred she feels in the story... Hatred for Mightyena, hatred for her father, hatred for the loss
Kitsune- Fox (explains itself)
Kiiro-Amber (for her beautiful amber eyes)
Kuro-Black (for the evil all Ninetails' see in him)
Suchiiru-steel (again self-explanatory, it evolves into a steel type)
Kootetsu-steel (again self-explanatory, it is a steel type)
Yoru- Dark (if I decided to put him in the story he will be a mischievous and greedy Pokémon)
Soru-sky (if I decided to put her in the story she will be a free spirited type of Pokémon)
Well once again, I hope you liked the fanfic, and review if you think I should continue it!
