Chapter Six

Three young ninjas sat and stared at Kakashi in disbelief as he explained all that had happen.

Which hasn't been a lot, I thought as I snoozed on Kakashi's lap.

"And so that's why she needed to steal the Scroll," he finished the unexciting tale.

"... but the Scroll was never stolen," Sakura stuttered out.

Kakashi remained silent but I could tell that he was annoyed.

Oh... oops, I forgot to mention that, I begun to slink off his lap.

"Why," he grabbed me by the scruff of my neck, "didn't you tell me that little detail." He brought me up to his face, he wasn't annoyed, in fact he was smiling. "What, do you actually have a conscience?"

Ya, its name is Kakashi, I licked his face.

"So what are we going to do Kakashi? Are we going to bring her back to the village, Hokage-sama said that he wanted her captured. But after hearing her story... well," the young girl put her chin on her hands.

"I say we help her, what that guy did to her isn't right," Naruto folded his arms in anger.

Really, I don't want your help. You guys can just go home; I've got a plan to get the clan.

Kakashi had set me back onto his lap, but I just jumped off.

"So where was the Scroll," I heard Kakashi ask as I tried in vain to straighten my fur.

"It was found in a hallway where she, in your form, was last seen. It at first looked like a leaf, but when someone picked it up, it turned back into the Scroll," Sakura explained.

Kakashi rested his chin on his fist, "you were in my form... hmm... and no one, not even my team could tell the differences, that really hurts my feelings."

You have feelings? I couldn't tell by your nonchalant, cold manner.

"But she looked exactly like you, she even sounded like you. Not even the Hokage could tell she was a fox," Naruto exclaimed in frustration.

"What would you expect from a well trained and aged Kitsune," I muttered as I took human form.

Sakura and Naruto nearly fell back, while Sasuke just closed his eyes.

"WOW! You didn't even use any smoke," Naruto said nearly in my face.

"You mind, I have personal space too," I pulled back towards Kakashi.

I sat down next to Kakashi, gently leaning up against him, comfy pillow and bed all in one convenient human.

"So why didn't you take it," he whispered into my ears, it sent shivers up and down my spine.

"Don't do that and I didn't take it for two reasons. One, I felt terrible about stealing something that is... I guess it's sacred to your people and two...," I started to blush, "I couldn't. It sent strange vibrations and feelings through out my body. It seriously messed with my energy."

I looked up to Kakashi, he appeared to have a smug look. "Is that why I found you asleep on my chest this morning and why I was able to see..." I clasped my hand over his mouth.

"About that, never mention that to another living soul... you weren't supposed to see that last part."

The genins leaned into my conversation.

"Just ignore that please," I sighed.

"Look, now that you know that your Scroll is safe, you can go back home and not worry about my problems," I folded my arms; I was going to be firm on this.

"Mmm... no. I think I'll help anyway," Kakashi laughed.

"Me too," Sakura and Naruto said at the same time.

"I will help as well," Sasuke said with a smile.

I just had to tell Kakashi my problem.

I sighed, Kakashi laughed again, "what, can't except help from humans?"

No... not really, I shifted into my fox form as I walked away.

It's not like I didn't want their help, but I didn't want their help.

"Hey, get back here," Kakashi called after me.

I'm going to have scare you away, trust me it's for the best. I picked up the pace and started to run across the forest floor.

I heard them get up,so you want to play?

"No, you guys stay here. I'll take care of the little vixen," Kakashi stopped his team.

Fine, it's between you and me, I darted off into the woods.

From each side I could hear Kakashi's movements; he wasn't even trying to hide where he was. I stopped in a small meadow, I felt like I was being hunted... hunted by a dog. Crack... I turned to where the noise originated, but there was no one there.

"What are you looking at," his calm voice came from behind me.

I quickly turned around to find myself staring into one black eye and one red one. A shiver went up my spine, that eye was just so... unnatural.

I had a friend like that, he was an albino and both his eyes were red.

"Come here," he reach out to grab me, but he grabbed onto something more than he excepted.

Kakashi drew back as the little silver fox began to glow and grow. Her body expanded and grew taller than Kakashi; her tail began to split evenly into five separate tails. The very tips of her tails seem to be aflame with a strange golden fire. She very much resembled the many tailed Kitsune Kakashi saw in her dream. Looking down at him, Xui seemed to say, 'you really want to mess with me?'

"I'm not going to fall for another one of your illusions," Kakashi relaxed.

"It's not an illusion, you see me in my true Kitsune form," a haunting voice swept across the meadow. "Kakashi, understand why I do not want your help. The Sin of Regret and the Sin of Guilt have been known to take down my kind. If anything would happen to you or your team, I would die. Especially if you..." the voice trailed off. The silver Kitsune bent her delicate head down to his, she began to gently rub and lick his face. "You're different from other males that I have met. You're like me, a tragic past, lessons learned the hard way and something that once belonged to a friend is now part of us."

Kakashi felt so many emotions coming from her that felt like so many that he had kept to himself. So many of the same emotions she had, the same ones that killed him a little inside. Kakashi closed his eyes as tears began to form in his eyes. A gentle hand wiped them away; Kakashi opened his eyes to find himself staring at the girl with the fox ears. Tears were flowing down her cheeks and her cheeks were flushed. She threw her arms around his neck and cried into his chest. Kakashi put his arms around her, she wanted to ask for help so bad but she couldn't.

I just couldn't bring myself to scare him away, he was just so...

"It's ok now. Just let it all out," I heard him lightly sob.

I had seen so many things in my life, felt so many emotions, but this was the strongest one yet. I've felt a mere tingle of it when I've been to close to lovers in the woods, but never myself. It was overwhelming to myself, every sense seemed to be more sensitive. The touch of his hands on my back, the smell of his body, the thumping of his heart humming in my ears, they all seemed to be part of me.

Is this what it feels like to love... I had asked before and he had answered yes.Was I feeling this because I truly felt it or was it because I looked into his mind? Was I truly in love with a human that had a soul that reflected a dog?

I looked up at Kakashi, his eyes met mine, "it will be ok."

I don't care if this feeling is because of what I've done, I feel this way now... and I just want it to continue...
