Blackkit heard them pad away, their voices becoming more distant. Once they were gone, the red animal turned toward her and stared at her, its blue eyes gleaming. After a moments pause, it spoke, "Hi". Blackkit stiffened but softly answered, "Hello". The animal padded toward her, she mewled in fear and backed up. The red animal stopped, "Don't be so scared. I won't hurt you." Blackkits green eyes flashed, "How do i know you're not lying?" She asked. The red animal smiled, "Well, i do understand your wariness. I am a fox after all."

Blackkits eyes widened, "So that's what you are." She whispered. The fox grinned, "My names Naruto. What about you?" The small kit hesitated, "M-...My names Blackkit." Naruto laid down on his belly, his head between his bright white paws. Blackkit glanced at his tail, and did a double take. This fox did not only talk, he had 9 tails as well! She peered at him. Her green eyes turning to slits. "Why are you not blood thirsty like the rest of your fox family?" Naruto smiled again, his whiskers twitching. "You see, I'm not really a fox."
