This is my first fan fiction. I never really wrote one before. I hope this isn't lame or anything. I've noticed I haven't really received any reviews so, I don't know. But to clarify a few things, Kitsune Is a magical fox spirit like thing. In here, they aren't magical. I hope you readers enjoy the fan fiction.
-Kino ran after the fox-boy, she couldn't keep up but she had to catch him. She watched as he jumped up onto a fire-escape in a single bound. It was hard not to believe he wasn't human when you first looked at him, but he could do more than any other human could, like being faster, and jumping higher than any child his age let alone any human could. The red haired boy had shoulder length hair and he wore ragged clothing. His body length tail keeping him balanced behind him. He chanced a glance back and saw that Kino and the men that were after him were close behind. His molten yellow eyes taking the whole seen in before he concentrated harder on getting up to the roof. "KITO! Come back down here!" Kino yelled as she reached the fire escape. "Everything will be okay. No one wants to hurt you." She herd the sudden ring of a gun shot as one of the men to aim and barley missed his hand. He doubled his efforts and was soon on the roof. "STOP IT! He is just a kid!"
She yelled pushing the man who had fired. "We want him alive" Said the other man stopping his companion from striking Kino. She was three months with child and she had to go and run after a twelve year old. Eventually they reached the roof and there he stood on the other side at the edge of the building. "It's a seven story drop kid. No way out of this. Just come quietly and we won't hurt you," The man said. "Much." Kino began to run the remaining distance but she stopped when Kito took a step closer to the ledge. "I'll see you real soon Kino." The boy said after turning around. "But not until they stop chasing me." He held his arms out straight and fell backward. "NO!" She screamed as she ran to the ledge only to see Kito jump of a pole using it like a trampoline to gain enough momentum to reach the building thirty feet away. "How does he do that?" She asked out loud. The lead man cursed "Mission failed. This was our last chance." The other mind stopped at his side.
"We can still track him and bring him-" The other man cut him off "I'm not wasting my life chasing him around the world. I have been doing this for five years. FIVE years wasted." The other man yelled. "No good has ever come out of it. Not even a fiber of his hair." The men turned around. They wore trench coats and shades with a wireless head set around there left ears. "We could use her." He the first suggested. The second man sighed.
"He wouldn't come for her and we can't harm her because of the council. She's in with that Hayami guy and his little pet. Unless you have a death wish, drop it." The men walked away.
It was five years later sense that incident. Kito Was seventeen now. He didn't even bother to try and hide his fox ears that stuck up out of his red hair. He wore a gray shirt and blue jean shorts that use to be pants until they were cut just below the knees. He stared up the walk way of a house that faced the harbor. It was, from what he could tell, a three or four bedroom house. It was two stories tall and covered in gray vinyl. It was still made in a Japanese fashion. He walked up the concrete steps to the front door. There was a note written in Japanese on the door. It was short and was signed by Kino judging by her hand writing. He tried to decipher it but he couldn't read the Japanese language. He could understand it for sure, but he couldn't read it. He knocked on the door trying to be careful not to scratch it. Kito waited for a moment then tried again. He had been there for several moments until he finally gave up and went back to the garden wall where his satchel and shoulder bag was. He sat on the wall and stared out into the endless sea. He barely noticed the hours go by as he wandered up and down the top of the wall. He perked his ears up when he heard foot steps and he turned around to see the source. There walking down the bath with two children walking with her and a baby in her arms was his foster mother Kino.
Kino looked up from her cup of tea. "It's been three months sense I last seen you. What have you been up to Kito?" She asked with a somber mood. "You just disappear you know." She watched him as he stared at his cup of tea. They were sitting in the dinning room. The children were taking their nap and Kino had been eager to hear Kito's doings. "You smell the same Kino, same red hair, brown eyes. But I'm not talking to Kino anymore am I? Not the Kino I know." He lifted his gaze and searched for something in her eyes. "Where has your fire gone?" Kino was use to his mannerism, or how he talked. It wasn't like the way normal people spoke. But he wasn't normal, he was trying to.
"Things change Kito. Three kids and having a husband I had to burry." She said, her look growing from somber to a depression. She gave a little smile before saying, "But you never change Kito. You just got bigger. You're the same quiet fox-boy I found on my door step looking for a bite to eat nine years ago." She looked him up and down as if she was searching for something. "You still never told me how you ended up from all the way out in New Harbor Town to here." She smiled an actual smile when he looked up cocking his head with a curious look. "You just simply answer with the same thing over and over." He took a sip and took a few seconds to consider whether or not to answer her and then he shrugged. "Same way I got here last time. I flew. Though what I didn't tell you then was what I flew threw." He said with a blank face. Kino knew he was smiling on the inside. "So then, why do you have a boat?" She asked trying to catch him at his confusing game." He didn't take long to answer. "To have a place to keep my stuff, I tend to accumulate some of the oddest of things." He smiled before adding, "I sold my boat and made myself a sub from old trailers. The ones you humans use to use for freight." She frowned at the phrase 'you humans'. It seemed odd to talk to someone who looked so much like one, yet wasn't. Kito guessed her thought by her change in expression. "I'm sorry Kino. I forget that your not comfortable about that. Having a son that isn't human....." He trailed off for a moment. Kino smiled. "Yes, my son. I don't care what you are Kito, Your my son. I'm proud to say that." She said as she considered him for a moment. "That and I have to many daughters."
The both laughed for a moment but the mood returned to a depression. "Kino, it's your time to move on. You're suffocating yourself in this house." Kito said with a saddened look. "You're all broken in side and I can't fix you like a picture or a plate. You need to go." Kino looked surprised but said nothing. Kito continued, "What about Mr. Tetsu? You where found of him once as a good friend. Maybe moving closer to him would be good." Kino darkened at the though. "He has his own family Kito. He has his own wife." She answered. Kito was undeterred. "That's not what I meant. He's your friend, your families could look after one another." Kito said with a simple composure. Kino closed her eyes and replied, "He likes his privacy." Kino looked away and stayed silent for a moment trying to think of away to get around Kito. She knew Kito was trying to get her away, she didn't want to leave, but. "So, what have you been up to all this time Kito?" Kito smiled. "You think like a fox, Kino." He said. She was afraid he would continue trying to move her toward leaving but he stayed silent with that same old smile.
Kito took hours to reveal his story. He explained how he had come to fine a half sunken oil rig that he had secretly been working on for years. He went on in detail about how he had raised it and how he had taken so long to repair and keep it afloat. Afterwards he went on about his underwater adventures on sketching the chimeras. "The small Mutio are curious and friendlier than the big gray ones. The gray ones try to eat me but they are slow because of their size. But still they are difficult to drawl while your avoiding those enormous teeth!" Kito rambled holding his hands apart to show Kino how big the fangs where.
