Author's Note: Hey, this is Aki. Now, just like my cousin Authoress, Pokemon is not my cup of tea, but my other little cousin (Authoress's younger sister) had a great idea for a story that Kirara and I both loved, so we said she could post it on our account. I'll turn the keyboard over to her and let her say a few words.
Hi-hi! My favorite Pokemon is a Vulpix, so I wrote a story about one! By the way Kitsune is pronounced Keet-sune with a silent e at the end. Enjoy!
Chapter One
"You can't catch me, Kitsune!" a singsong voice called, as it dashed and zigzagged through the clearing like a flash of red-brown lightning.
"Yes I can! You wait and see, Auburn!" a young Vulpix, Kitsune she was called, dashed after the first one. She couldn't catch him and eventually gave up, but she smiled. Her beautiful golden fur shined in the sunlight.
Kitsune was different. Unlike the other Vulpix pups, she was shiny. Her fur was golden-copper and she had beautiful blue eyes. This was because she was the future alpha of the Shenikari Clan of Vulpix and Ninetales.
All the other pups hated her. They snarled and leered and glared at her when she walked by, and although Kitsune didn't act hurt, deep inside she was. And the others knew it.
Well, actually, I lied. Auburn, a male Vulpix she'd known practically since birth, was her best friend. They always played together, like now, and Kitsune was happy. She loved her life, even though she only had one friend. But she knew that they would always be together, so that kept her happy.
Or so she thought.

Disaster struck not to long after they had finished their tag game. Kitsune and Auburn were lying on their backs bathing in the golden sun. They smelled the sweet scent of a few Bayleef, but were not alarmed. However, they were alarmed at something else.
"Blas, Blastoise! Blastoise Blast!" Hey, Master, I think I found a Pokemon! Kitsune and Auburn stiffened.
"You think you found a Pokemon? That's great!" a trainer called. A few seconds later they heard a rustle in the bushes. A trainer with long blond hair and green eyes stepped out.
"Cool! A Vulpix! I've always wanted to catch one!" she said. "Go, Blastoise!" At this, Kitsune and Auburn stood up, in battling positions.
"Wait, I only need one. Okay, I'll have the golden one!" she said, staring at Kitsune. But Auburn jumped in front of her.
"You go and warn the others! I'll take care of this!" he said bravely.
"But… you can't! Blastoise is a water Pokemon, so you could get… cau…"
"I know. But you're the alpha, and I will get scolded for not protecting you. So please go. I'll miss you…" he replied, looking as if he was going to cry.
"I'll miss you too," Kitsune cried, and with that she ran away.

The young Vulpix sobbed into her mother's soft fur. Just yesterday, her best friend had been caught by a trainer while trying to defend her. Of course, if she were a little older she probably would've realized that most Vulpix get caught sooner or later, but usually once they've had children. But, as I was saying, Kitsune was very young and was not used to witnessing these things.
Kitsune sobbed louder. She had been crying practically nonstop for a day now. Then her mother looked up. "I know," she said calmly. "Why don't you go play with the other pups? I'll make sure they let you join."
"I guess," Kitsune agreed, even though they knew she would be taunted as soon as her mother left.
She let her mother lead her to the clearing, where the other pups were playing tag. They didn't start acting mean until her mother left.
"Hey, look who decided to show up? Little Miss I'm So Perfect And I Can Do Whatever I Want Because I'm The Next Alpha," a rude Vulpix jeered.
"I never said that!" Kitsune argued, raising her voice.
"See? Now she claims she's innocent because she doesn't want to get hurt, even though she does it to us everyday!" the same Vulpix said, making Kitsune's anger so hot it would probably go off of a thermometer if you stuck one in her mouth at that second.
"That's it! I have had it with your stupid, dumb, and rude remarks! If you wanted me to whip your sorry ass you could've just said so! But even that won't cure my anger right now. So you know what? I'm leaving. And you'll be the one that gets the blame for the alpha running away, and you'll be the one whom my parents will hate so much they want to kill. But you know what? That's nothing compared to what I'll do to you when I come back. Because I will ensure you that I will be so strong, you're gonna wish you were never even born," Kitsune cried. And with that, she ran. She ran as fast as her paws could carry her, leaving a stream of tears whichever way she turned.
"I promise you, Crimson. Once I grow stronger, your sorry little life will not be spared."
