It's been a few weeks now and I am somewhere in between the land of the ichibi and my own. It's been a while since I've been out of my own country, so I wonder what's been happening. I stand up, in human mode again to look at my surroundings. Trees, trees, and then even more trees. This is always the curse of the tailed beasts. Always have to hide in the forest. It's light out so, but a bit hot so I think it's the middle of the day. No way to tell though. Since there are no time devices we specifically use to tell what time it is. Not like we, the tailed beasts, would need it anyway. Since everyone fears and hates us.
Wondering where everyone is I start to recall how everyone looks like and what countries they live in.
The Ichibi is a raccoon, very slender, with black hair, and you can see on his skin he has white stripes. He seems to be very grumpy during the day, and is pretty short, but he seems to have a keen since of sound.
The nibi is a cat. She has blonde hair and is very skinny. Very stealthy, like a cat. She has very lithe movements, and can pounce at any minute; usually put into two braids her long hair looks flowing. She is very happy person, despite being a beast. She seems to be the most positive of the tails, although when she gets serious she can be scary.
The sanbi is a turtle. She is very shy, and a bit slow. She is constantly hanging out with the two tails, since other than me we are the only girls. She is very cute with black hair and a shell like body. She is also the only one that I can communicate when everyone is in animal mode, since we use to hang out a lot. She is a very nice person, but she is very timid when meeting new people. She doesn't get serious about a fight, but if she has to she will.
The yonbi is a monkey. He is a bit active at times, and then sometimes he is like an old man, grouchy and rude. He has brown spiky hair, and a very loud voice. He likes to jump around a lot on trees, swinging on branches at times. He's very old looking. Crazy old cook. Something wrong with his brain I swear.
The Gobi is a weird mixture of a dolphin and a horse. He likes to be very cool, with dark black silky hair and a cool demeanor. He always seems calm, but when he is angry, he's dangerous. He likes to carry around a pipe and smoke some kind of water substance with it. But when he needs to defend he can use the pipe as a weapon.
The rokubi is a slug. Very big and bald he's very slow and kind of slimy. He talks really weird, and doesn't tend talk because of that. When he gets serious though he can be a bomb. Blowing up whole forests with his fat belly, and leaving slime everywhere.
The Shichibi is an armored beetle. Weird right? In his beast mode it looks kind of like a really big gladiator kind of bug. He likes to act cool, and he hangs out with the Gobi. He likes quiet and he also has silky black hair, but it's styled differently. The Gobi has it in his face. Shichibi has it near but not in his face. He has squinty eyes too. He can control stuff with his mind, so it can be really helpful at times. Then other times it's really annoying. When he gets serious he could probably blow up a whole entire city.
Finally the Hachibi is an ox with octopus legs. In animal mode he is only an ox, because the octopus is only because he has eight tails. He's very relaxed, but when he is serious he could blow up an entire country. He doesn't get ticked off easily, but if he does then you better get the hell out of there. He likes to talk to me occasionally, since we are the 8 and 9 tails, and we're really powerful, but I haven't seen him in a while.
And then there is me. Named kiri, have a hot body, and tend to be interactive with humans. I know I shouldn't but it's my nature I guess. I don't have an animal form likes the others, but I have a humanoid mode, which no one else has. It comes in handy a lot more than they having their animal mode, so I'm lucky I guess. Back in the far past when the beasts attacked I always tried my hardest not to hurt humans. It worked, but no one trusted us after that. The master who created us put the other beasts to different countries, and I, he put to sleep. I woke up many decades after and began to train my beast human mode, because I didn't want anyone hurt because of me again. And I've finally mastered it after all these years. I'm glad I did too so now I don't have to be so powerful that I could destroy everything around me.
I continue to walk in the forest trying to find the ichibi.
