Hello, online friends.

I would love to continue this story till the end; however it does not seem that it is popular.

Really wishing for some reviews! If not, I wonder if I would still have the heart to finish it. x(

"Mother?" she was in such a beautiful dream when she was nudged awake; one of her eyes opened to see that her mother was standing at the entrance of their cave. "We got to go now, dear." That was what she was saying, sleepily the little fox clambered out of her nest made from fur and headed to her mother's side. All of the sudden; her mother pushed her young back into the cave. The little fox tumbled back to the ground. "What is going on? Mother?" However her mother expression could not be read, without looking at her stunned child; she turned to the outside and growled at someone.

The little fox gazed at her mother sleepily though her back hurts a lot from the push; all of the sudden, her mother barked fiercely; with her nine tails she stomped the ground causing the rocks and dirt to fall. The young fox ran to the entrance just in time and caught a glimpse to her mother's attacker; a girl controlling fire. "Mummy!" she shouted.

"Find her and stay by her side." Her mother howled as the last of the rocks fell, she heard her scream in agony and pain. The little fox tried to push the rocks away but couldn't, her tears flowed down her cheeks and to the ground. She screamed painfully as her tail began to burn; the fox turned around and saw that eight more tails had sprouted from the root of her tail. The little fox could not stop crying or ease her shaking; she knew what had happened. She inherited her mother's powers that could only means that the previous nine tales had perished. She is now the successor; the new nine tales went back to her bedding and fell asleep. "Ma… I understand, I must destroy the guardian." She whispers softly; a new shinma was born and she will carry the duties before her.

Several hours passed; the little fox woke to a scrapping noise coming from the walls, she raised her tails preparing to attack however from the cracks, and she saw a large yellow eye staring at her. "What are you?" the fox asked in a trembling voice for she had never seen an eye as big as that.

"Your mother asked me to come, hi! I am Shinna." The monster behind the wall greeted happily and made a larger hole so as to see the little fox better. "My mother? Alright, but how come you are so big?"

The little fox asked curiously as she jump through the crack made by this huge monster; and came face to face with the real thing. "Woah…you have a big pinkish body."

"Hmm, you are rather rude to the oldest Shinma living in this land."The large shinma shook her head disapprovingly as she watched the little fox that was now licking her own fur.

Another question popped into the mind of the little Fox, "Why did my mother ask you to come here?"

Shinna did not respond to her question; however she walked past the young and stride away; "Come on, we are getting out of this tunnel."

"Hey, answer me!" the little fox was no longer scared of this big monster by the fact that it hadn't eaten her up, she must be kind of nice. The younger one pounced on its body and began nudging it in the head; "Your mother was right, you are a handful." That was the only thing it said as it began to head to the exit. Seeing that this monster did not want to answer her question; she did not bother her any longer. Just to hitch a ride out of here would be good.

"Are you a friend?"

The pink monster peered around to see her 'package' snuggling on her back, half asleep; half curious.

"yes." It replied the young cub.

Now, the cub has grown into a fine nine tales. She woke from her dream from the past and went over to the sleeping bunny. "Shinna, you used to be so big." It whispered and nudged her ears. The jewel on her head began to glow, when it did. Shinna opened her eyes as though she was in a trance like state. She shed her form, when the transformation was complete she growled angrily.

"Kill the guardian" the nine tales told her.

And just at that moment, Larva entered the court yard; Shinna grinned, Time for a hunt.
