Chapter 5 The Ball

The Night of my Debutante Ball was now upon us and I wanted to look as beautiful as I could be for Kitsune. No matter how much he told me he loved me and loved the way I look I still couldn't help but down right out match his mother who he claimed was NO is the most beautiful woman in the world; Which made me laugh that I was jealous of Kitsune's mother who was both dead and his mother. None the less I decided to hold nothing back for tonight. I blushed at what I was wondering what Kitsune would wear. Everything he's worn is usually nice but still I couldn't help but think of him being absolutely handsome, after all that's just how he is. I decided to take a shower to make sure I smelled just the way Kitsune liked me, he told me he loved how I smelled of Lavenders and Hyacinths which made me smile because those two were now my favorite flowers because he told me he liked it. So after my shower I dried my hair and looked for a good dress to wear for him. I looked through my entire closet for an hour and found nothing, I was about to give up all hope until my mother came in "Hey honey, sorry I almost forgot to give you this." My mother said holding out a white box that had a red bow wrapped around it. I took the box and asked, "What is it?" My mother laughed before saying "Open it and find out." I did and found one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen. I took it out and held it for inspection. It was a white silk dress that to my surprise was just perfect for me, it showed a little bit of my chest but not anything too revealing, it also fit my figure beautifully and it was longer then I thought so it covered my knees. I hugged my mother before shouting "THANKYOU THANKYOU!" She laughed "Don't thank me thank that young man down stairs". Wondering what she meant I finished getting dressed and walked downstairs to see Kitsune waiting at the end of them with a bouquet of Lavenders and Hyacinths; I looked him in the eyes as I heard him say just one word "Beautiful" I blushed as I heard him say that, because of this I didn't notice I missed a step as I started to fall down the stairs. As I braced for impact I felt two warm arms wrap themselves around me when I looked up I saw that I was in Kitsune arms bridal style and He had the bouquet caught between his canines as he smiled. I smiled then I looked him over. He was wearing a silk white dress shirt with it un-tucked, with dark black dress pants and his purple dress shoes as always. In my opinion he was downright gorgeous as I took the bouquet out of his mouth and replaced it with a kiss; I blushed as his smile warmed up after he said "Looks like you fell head over heels in love with me!" I blushed and was about to say something until he kissed me. I felt a flash and I found that my mom just took a picture of both of us kissing with me in his arms. We both blushed and before I could say anything Kitsune nudged my cheek with his nose causing me to look at him. He smiled and whispered "I am head over heels in love with you I just can't fall because someone has to catch you." I blushed and kissed him not caring that my mom took another picture. He looked over my dress which made me blush and I asked "What do you think?" he smiled as he sat me down and replied "I think I picked the right one." I looked at him and blushed "Y-You mean you g-got this for m-me?" He smiled as he kissed me again "Yep, but of course thanks to your mother I was able to get it at the right measurements." I smiled at him as he turned his head to look at my mother "Thank you Mrs. Cambridge, I'll be sure to bring your daughter back before twelve." My mother blushed at being treated so respectfully "D-Don't mention it and please don't call me Mrs. Cambridge how about you just call me mom? I mean after all it seems like you and my daughter's already married." both of us blushed but then Kitsune had some tears in his eyes. I soon found out why and told my mom "Um…mom Kitsune's mother died when he was nine." My mother felt guilty and was saying "I-I'm so s-sorry Kitsune please for-"but Kitsune cut her off. "It's ok m-m-mom." and he winked at her and soon she felt relieved and said "OF Course! And I expect to talk to the both of you after the Dance." Kitsune nodded in understanding as I just looked at both of them confused. "What about?" before she could answer Kitsune picked me up and stared carrying me out as I started to laugh before Kitsune and I both said in unison "See you later Mom." We left my house and much to my pleasure Kitsune carried me all the way to the Debutante Ball and he carried me in earning jealous looks from all the girls and angry looks from all their dates. I blushed as Kitsune laughed and kissed me in front of them all and then set me down and asked me to stay right there when he ran up onto the stage where the band was there and he talked to them and they agreed he smiled and thanked them as he picked up a guitar and turned on the microphone and said. "May I have your attention please?" everyone turned around and all the girls stared at him longingly and the guys gave him jealous looks. Once he found out that he their attention he smiled and began to speak again "I would like to you all for your attention and the reason why, you see I wanted to tell you all that I'm In Love with Krystal Cambridge." I blushed as one of the lights directly hit me and the other hit me as well as hearing an "Awwww" from the crowd to which he smiled more as he said "and this song is to show her just how much I love her and how long I want to be with her." He backed away as the band played as did he and then when it came he came towards the microphone and he started singing.

Just in case they're wondering
They've got us pinned terribly
They don't believe our love is real
Cause they don't know how real love feels
You should know it's true
Just now, the part about my love for you
And how my heart's about burst
Into a thousand pieces
Oh it must be true
And They'll believe us too soon
Baby, it's fact
Our love is true
The way black is black
And blue is just blue
My love is true
It's a matter of fact
Oh, and you love me too
It's as simple as that
Baby, our love is true
They may say some awful things
But there's no point in listening
Your words are the only words
That I believe in afterwards.
You should know it's true
Just now, the part about my love for you
And how my heart's about burst
Into a thousand pieces
So it must be true
And they'll believe us too soon

The way black is black
And blue is just blue

My love is true
It's a matter of fact
Oh, and you love me too
It's as simple as that

I blushed as the song came to an end. He had the most beautiful voice in the world and he just sang about how much he loved me as the crowd again "awwwww'd" after he finished he came over to me and kissed me asking "did you like it?" I simply answered by kissing him. He pulled away and knelt down on one knee as I was wondering what he was doing, the rest of the people there seemed to get the hint and again "awwwwww'd" I looked at him as he pulled a small satin box out of his pocket and held it out towards me. I finally found out what he was doing I was on the verge of tears from being so happy. He opened it and showed me a ring of white gold that had emerald dust on it along with single lavender colored diamond embedded in it. "Krystal, I love you and I want to be with you forever and was wondering…….if you'd marry me?" I cried and he came towards me nudging my cheek with his nose and started to purr in my ear "I'm so-" before he could finish I kissed him as passionately as I could when I finished I saw Kitsune blush as did I and then I whispered in his ear "yes" with that he smiled and kissed me back before placing the ring on my left ring finger and then he stepped to the right of me and put his arm around my waist and declared "She said yes!" the crowd smiled and cheered. Then Kitsune began again "And if anyone dares hurt my Haiguusha or even attempt to do anything to her I will Kill YOU." he smiled again and I giggled at how much he loved me as everyone else was scared stiff and decided not do anything that they thought Kitsune would think was mean to me. Kitsune took my hand and led us to the dance floor and we stared to slow dance. We stayed there for a while and then noticed it was around Ten-Thirty so Kitsune started to walk me home and I finally realized something. "You still haven't told me what Haiguusha means." he laughed and asked "Do you still not know?" I blushed and nodded. "Well it means mate or spouse." I giggled and kissed him and he kissed me back. We started walking when three guys who looked about in their late twenties, early thirties stopped in front of us and said "Give us your money!" Kitsune wrapped his arm around my waist tighter "We don't want any trouble." Kitsune replied calmly. The other two started coming near me and said "Wow look at the hottie." "Yea why don't come with us, you won't regret it." The other one started to reach at me only to be knocked unconscious and three feet back by Kitsune who growled. "If any of you dare lay a hand on MY Haiguusha I'll KILL You!" The other two laughed "And what are you going to do about it you-: before he could finish Kitsune threw him four feet and he landed on the ground. Kitsune rushed the other one so fast the man didn't see it coming and Kitsune knocked him unconscious he started walking towards me until he saw something and dashed towards me startling me he knocked me to the ground and laid on top of me. I looked at him and saw his shirt started to turn red. I looked his face as I noticed they were teary eyed and he said "I'm so sorry Krystal I love you." and he turned towards the man who was starting to get up that he threw to the floor earlier. "YOU!" he growled and he charged the man in an animalistic manner and he held him up by his throat. "YOU!" he once again growled, I looked at him again and noticed he had a knife sticking in his left shoulder and instead of his two tails he had NINE! "YOU!" he growled again tightening his grip on the man's throat "YOU TRIED TO KILL MY HAIGUUSHA!" I finally realized why Kitsune had nine tails and why he attacked the man and why he had a knife in his shoulder and why he knocked me down. The man tried to kill me and Kitsune ran in front of me to save me and that's why Kitsune attacked the man, because he tried to kill me. "BUT I WONT LET YOU HAVE HER! SHE MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME!" I started to cry from what he said and then I saw that he wasn't going to let the man down anytime soon. "I-I'm sorry please, please don't kill me!" Kitsune's grip tightened as his left arm stayed limp, probably because it pierced his shoulder blade. "WHY NOT!" he cried "WHEN YOU TRIED TO TAKE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERED TO ME! THE ONLY PERSON THAT I EVER LOVED!" his grip tightened and I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around him purring in his ear. "Please Kitsune, let him go, I need you. I need you to live because I love you." he loosened his grip and I continued again "How can we be together forever if you die? Please I stay with me." he let the man go and growled. "If you ever come near MY Haiguusha again, I'll KILL you without a second thought." the man ran and Kitsune turned towards; me tears in his eyes as well as in mine and he wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck and the tears started to run freely in both our eyes "I'm so sorry Krystal, I'll never leave you again. I love you." I cried harder and kissed him "GOOD!" I shouted, laughed as he carried me to the hospital. When we reached there we both received immediate attention. I constantly worried about Kitsune and the doctors wouldn't let me leave to go see him. As I was worrying about Kitsune I heard someone burst through my door. It was Kitsune his chest was wrapped up in bandages and he was only wearing his black pants and shoes. I blushed as I saw his defined torso and Kitsune looked at me and smiled. He breathed heavily before saying "Krystal" then doctors came up and tried to stop him trying to get him back to his room but he kept walking forward until he made it to my bed and knelt down and kissed me, I kissed him back and he smiled "Your ok" then he fell onto the floor unconscious. "Kitsune!" I yelled I ran out of my hospital bed and held Kitsune to me. "Kitsune….I love you." The doctors saw this and smiled. "Nurse get another bed in here! Judging by him he will keep coming back in here to make sure she's safe." I blushed as he said that and soon Kitsune was in a bed next to mine and I held his hand watching over him. My mother arrived and was worried about me and I told her about everything that happened; about how Kitsune proposed to me and about the song he sang to me and then about when the three men attacked us, and Kitsune took a knife to his left shoulder to protect me. She smiled and said "I knew that boy loved you, and I knew already that he was going to ask you to marry him." I looked at her wide-eyed "H-How did you?" then I remembered that he called her mom and winked at her and found out why he called her that. "Krystal…" I looked over at Kitsune who was staring at me with tears in his eyes. My mom got up and said "I'll leave you two alone." and with that she left. I looked back at Kitsune "Yes Kitsune I'm here, what's wrong?" I asked as I noticed more tears coming into his eyes. "I'm sorry, we can't be together forever." I started to cry when I heard him say this, "W-WHY NOT!?' I yelled at him he cried more and said "It's because of what I AM!" he said with slight disgust of himself. "THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!" I cried more and he squeezed my hand with his so I could look into his eyes. "It's because of my tails, I've never expected to grow all of them but now that I did my Kitsune nature has finally awakened and I'm immortal and I can't die unless in battle." He cried as did I "NO! I WONT LET YOU LEAVE ME, THERE HAS TO BE A WAY FOR US TO BE TOGETHER!" I choked "There is…" "WHAT? TELL ME I"LL DO IT!" I begged. He looked at me full determination in his eyes "NO! I CANT ASK YOU TO DO THAT!" his tears stared to fall harder and then I got out of bed and laid on top of Kitsune and kissed him and nudged his cheek with his nose and purred again in his ear. "I don't care, I'll do whatever I have to, so I can stay with you, I love you Kitsune." He held me tighter as he told me "You have to become like me, I have to change you into a Hanbun-Kitsune-Tamashii." I smiled and said "Ok, do it." he moved me away from his face a little as he bit his upper lip with his bottom canines, once it drew blood he moved towards my face again as he cried and said "I'm sorry" and with that he kissed me I started kissing back and felt his tongue licking my bottom lip, answering yes to the question I opened my mouth, but instead of what I expected he bit down on my bottom lip. I cried harder and knew this was part of him turning me, so I wrapped my arms around his neck and in response he wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tight. Soon I felt his canines cut open a small part of my bottom lip and I felt blood start leaking out, but he didn't let go so neither did I. Soon I could feel my body change and I felt my ears disappearing and then I felt new ears begin to form on top of my head, with heightened hearing, then I felt my canines grow and my pupils start to move and felt like they slit. Then something soft and furry started to grow from my lower back and all the pain was soon gone. I fell into blackness and didn't awake till the next day. When I did awake I found out I was laying on top of Kitsune and I blushed and noticed that he was awake to. "Good morning love, I see your awake." he smiled and kissed me. After the kiss I licked my lips and gave him another one, and then I pulled away as I noticed I was still on top of him. He smiled and brought me back into another passionate kiss. I smiled and started to nudge him with my nose and purred in his ear. I was actually able to purr and was happy. From now on, I'll be with the one I love forever.

TIME SKIP: 3 Years

I awoke to find that my husband wasn't in bed, I looked around and pulled my robe around me after I got back out of bed, soon I heard him come through the den's opening as he held a rabbit with teeth marks in its neck up "Got breakfast" he laughed I did to and kissed him licking his lips as so he would open his mouth, he did and I slipped my tongue in and started to lick his canines as to wipe off the blood from the meal he caught for us. After I was done I slid my tongue back into my mouth and finished our kiss, he smiled and pulled me close to him wrapping his arms around my waist and started nudging me with his nose; I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed my head against his shoulder. "I love coming home after hunting." he replied while still nudging me. "About that" I looked at him and he tilted his head to the side causing me to blush, no matter how long we've been married he still manages to make me blush. I looked at him still blushing and said "I want to do the hunting for awhile." He looked sad and said "Is the food that bad?" I giggled and nudged him with my nose and replied "no, I just…….want after hunting treatment." I blushed again at what I was telling him. He laughed and then smiled and whispered "Who said you need to go out hunting to get after hunting treatment." I blushed again as he kissed me, licking my lips so I would open my mouth, I did as he asked and he slid his tongue into my mouth and started to lick my canines, after he was finished he slid his tongue out and kissed me again. He smiled as I put my head against his shoulder again "Can I get after hunting treatment every time you come back from hunting?" I asked he laughed and said "Whatever makes you happy Krystal, I love you." I kissed him and said "You make me happy Kitsune and I love you too." I soon knew that I had everything I ever wanted.

TIME SKIP: 8 YEARS

"Yukiana" Kitsune yelled as he started chasing our five year old daughter "I'm going to get you!" he yelled playfully at which our daughter giggled and said "Only if you catch me daddy!" and before she knew it Kitsune caught her and started tickling her mercilessly, while our daughter giggled from all the tickling I soon joined in and started to tickle my husband, he fell to the floor laughing while me and Yukiana started tickling him. "Krystal!" he yelled "I thought you were on my side!" he laughed more as we continued tickling him after we finished he bolted at me and knocked me over having him on top of me. I blushed as this happened and Kitsune smiled "Now here's your punishment!" he laughed as he kissed me; I wrapped my arms around his neck and started playing with his hair with my fingers. We stopped when we heard are daughter say "daddy!" We both looked at her and smiled "Don't worry you'll get your punishment soon enough!" our daughter stepped back a bit and was scared "Please don't punish me like you did mom! It's looks icky!" we both laughed as Kitsune got up and helped me up "Don't worry that's only for your mother" he replied smiling at me, I blushed and kissed him again as we heard our daughter say "eeeew" we laughed and Kitsune said "Let's see….I think giving her ice cream is a good punishment, what do you think Krystal?" I looked at our daughter and saw the happiness in her eyes; I pretended to think about it then finally said "Ok." "YAY!!" our daughter yelled as she ran up to her father and jumped up and gave him a hug he caught her and twirled her around a couple times and then set her on his shoulders and he caught my hand and intertwined our fingers. This was the most happiness I ever felt in my life. "Hey Kitsune?" I asked "Yes my love?" he asked, I blushed and kissed him. "I love you." he smiled and kissed me back "I love you too." he looked up at Yukiana who was smiling down at him and he laughed "Don't worry my little princess I love you too." I laughed "So do I Yukiana." she smiled and said "I love you too!" and with that we walked to the ice cream parlor. The same one where it all began.
