Episode 9 : Voices In My Head
Last time on Kitsune no Shoujo, doubting his usefulness on their mission, Shikamaru made a hasty advance when missing-nin from Kirigakure, Momochi Zabuza, attacked their group, seeking the death of their charge. Kakashi said he could handle it and that he would protect his comrades, but can he really, now that he's trapped inside the Water Prison Jutsu, courtesy of Zabuza, things don't look too good. Meanwhile, will Narue stop dilly-dallying with the rabbit and realise that her friends need her help? Today, on Kitsune no Shoujo, we are about to find out!!
Disclaimer I don't own Naruto.
Narue ran steadily through the thick fog, brushing by the dense forestry of Wave Country and wondering why she hadn't made it back to the others yet. She prayed she wasn't lost. Her guide, Usagi-san, had disappeared so suddenly, so now her only shot at navigating this forest was a no-go. Suddenly, the cry of a familiar voice filled the area and Narue stopped in her tracks, taking in a deep breath.
Her eyes wide, she looked around, searching for the owner of the voice,
"Th-that was Sasuke.." she thought worriedly, and ran in the direction she thought she'd heard Sasuke, "What's going on? Sasuke? Shikamaru..?" she thought, regretting having chased that chakra signal she'd sensed. It had just turned out to be a weird masked girl with a guy's name, and a strange fashion sense, anyway.
As she rushed through the mist towards her team, the voice she'd heard earlier that day entered her thoughts again.
-Transfer your chakra into the chakra kunai Jiraiya-sensei gave you, and picture your team-
That sounded pretty much like an order, and although Narue hated taking orders from people, (especially from Sasuke), she felt that if she didn't follow this strangely familiar voice's orders, she'd be getting a lot of headaches in the future. Or something like that. She wasn't sure how these strange voices smite the ones they spoke to, really.
She rummaged through her kunai pouch, and finally brought out the strangely shaped kunai that Jiraiya had handed down to her a couple of months ago, and held it in her hand as best she could. It was kinda heavy for a kunai.. Despite that, she gritted her teeth, and pushed whatever chakra she could muster into the knife, snapping her eyes shut and picturing her team-mates.
-Oi. Don't think I forgot about what you did to me. You won't get away with it." -... Sasuke-teme...
-Hey, Narue, don't beat yourself up about it. My old man says all genin start off with lame missions like these-... Shikamaru...
-Narue, you need to calm down and compose yourself-... Kakashi-sensei...
"Don't worry you guys.. I'm on my wa--What the!" Narue inwardly gasped, as a chakra surrounded her, and suddenly, she felt as though she was fading away like a shadow once attacked by the sunlight. She kept her eyes gingerly winced closed, as she felt her body fly through a wind-like force, continuing to run on through the throttle.
Zabuza's water-clone smirked beneath his bandage-crafted mask, pressing his heel into Sasuke's stomach. The boy had dared to stay in his spot, and try and stop him from attacking his target.. He seemed so determined to prove his skills as a ninja in front of such an infamous nuke-nin, and he seemed confident that he'd be able to.
"What a foolish child.." he thought, "Heh. You call yourself a ninja. When I was younger than you I'd already killed thousands with my bare hands. How many lives have you ended?" he asked the dark-haired leaf-nin.
Sasuke grunted in pain, his hands clasped around Zabuza's ankle, and wincing, he opened one of his eyes, "I may not have killed anyone myself.. But I've seen far too many deaths with my own eyes..." he thought angrily, this fueling his cause, "Don't act like you know what I've been through so well!" he shouted, and with his resolve at hand, shoved Zabuza's foot off his stomach. Zabuza snorted, and brought back his 'discarded' foot to smack Sasuke across the face.
"Wake up, brat. Do you even know who I am?" Zabuza growled, scowling at the boy. As he prepared to press harder against Sasuke's chest with his foot, a new voice entered the area,
"Yeah! You're the eyebrow-less freak who's about to eat my steel!!" came the unmistakable voice of Narue, as the busty blond came plummeting towards the water-clone of Zabuza with her chakra-kunai, striking at the chest and hitting it dead on, only to be very shocked when he turned into a puddle of water. She landed on the ground, and stared at the puddle, "What the f--" she began.
"Narue!! It's about time you got here!" Shikamaru interrupted, sounding annoyed, frustrated and relieved at the same time.
Narue gave him a thumbs up and a grin, then turned to Sasuke, holding out a hand to him, "Sasuke, I'll help you up." she offered to him, and the stubborn Uchiha snorted, using his own hand to push himself up off the ground, and dusting himself off with a frown.
He looked to her with the frown still present, "Where on earth were you?" he asked her.
Narue pouted at his refusal to let her help him up, and sighed, "Well, I sensed a new chakra, and I thought maybe it was Usagi-san's owner!" Narue explained, shrugging.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "Usagi-san..?" he asked disbelievingly, "She actually named the rabbit she nearly beheaded..? Ugh." Sasuke thought, disgruntled. Over with Zabuza and Kakashi, both high-rank ninja were shocked in their own way.
"Who is this obnoxious brat..? And how in the hell did she defeat my mizubunshin.. I wonder if the rabbit they're talking about is Haku's.." he thought, still a bit shocked, but nonetheless, in control of the situation.
Meanwhile, Kakashi was shocked, because of the weapon Narue held in her hands, "Sensei's kunai...! And Narue already figured out how to use it? How can that be..?" he thought, astounded.
"What the hell was that technique you used, Narue?" Shikamaru asked, scratching his head in slight awe.
Narue looked at her chakra kunai, and frowned, not knowing herself what it was, "You know what, lazy-ass? I haven't got the foggiest." she said, and Shikamaru sweat dropped, inwardly wondering if that pun was the intended, "So is anybody gonna tell me why the eyebrow-less freak turned into a puddle?" Narue asked her two male team-mates, that painfully clueless look on her face.
That's what she gets for coming in at the last minute..
"Idiot!! That guy's Momochi Zabuza! He's a missing-nin from Kirigakure and he's trying to kill us to get to the old bridge builder!" Shikamaru said, the whole troublesome-ness of everything already
stressing him out more than necessary. He'd have happily traded being stuck with that loud-mouth Ino, over this! On second thought.. No. At least this way he avoided being bossed around by a girl.
"I believe you're forgetting something." Zabuza said, performing a one-handed seal, creating another mizubunshin. As the clone rose from the puddles sporadically placed around the field, Narue twitched,
"How is he doing that?" Narue asked, as the colours (or lack thereof) of Zabuza were added to the clone, and it looked up to them with grave intensity.
"Mizubunshin. Same principles as your Kagebunshin, only with water. Obviously." Shikamaru replied, as Sasuke raised a kunai to protect himself. Narue gasped, and raised her chakra kunai, hoping it would work a second time. Kakashi looked on in horror for a moment longer, before calling out to them,
"What are you doing!? You don't stand a chance against this guy without me so get out of here! His Mizubunshin can't get too far away from the original body, so take our charge and run!!" he yelled to his students through his watery prison.
Narue sucked in a breath. The tension here was so thick you could cut it with a kunai knife. It was kinda difficult to breath.. With the rogue-nin's menacing glare penetrating her, she shivered and stumbled back.
"His eyes.. they're filled with.. blood lust! I have to get away.. there's no way I can beat this guy!! Ugh, this sucks! This--" she was cut off when Zabuza's clone suddenly slammed a kick into her face, sending her skidding back. She groaned, getting up shakily, and was shocked to find everything start to spin around. Everything was fading, like an old film being burned. Before letting out a groan and falling backwards, she glanced wearily towards Shikamaru, then briefly to Sasuke and then everything went black...
She found herself in a large, dark, murky and damp dungeon, before a set of bars that could possibly hold back a giant. Groaning, she sat up again, rubbing her forehead, and looking bleakly around. Her eyes focused on the bars before her, where she heard a steady, loud, breathing. She winced as a gust of wind, with a putrid scent swept across her, and covered her nose, waving away the scent.
"What the hell is that..?" she asked out loud, "And where am I??" she added with furrowed brows.
-It's the seal that keeps the Kyuubi imprisoned within you. And we're inside your mind.- The voice caused Narue to spin around, shocked to be looking into a pair of cerulean eyes. This voice.. It was that one who'd been ordering her around today! She'd teach him a thing or two if his icy glare didn't scare her so much. Disappointingly, his eyes were all that she was permitted to see. She took a tentative step forwards, only to be halted. -Stay where you are.- The voice said.
"B-But who are you?" Narue asked nervously, stepping back a bit.
-That's not important for now.. I called you here, because you were considering abandoning your sensei in favour of surviving. What did I say earlier? Refresh my memory a little-
Narue gulped. Oh boy. Whoever this guy was, he was pissed. This guy must be really insistant about loyalty. Narue took in a breath, and repeated the first words this voice had told her today.
"'A true shinobi never abandons their team-mate in dyer situations'..?" Narue asked.
-Correct. And what were you just about to do?- The voice interrogated Narue further. Narue hung her head slightly,
"Abandon my sensei.." she began, "B-But Kakashi-sensei said that--!"
-Your sensei isn't always right, Narue!- The voice boomed and Narue gasped, stepping back a bit more, the mystery man within the shadows sighed exasperatedly, -Look, trust me. If you were to leave with your team-mates, which might I note, your team-mates are doing right now, what would Zabuza do? He'd kill Kakashi, and then come after you himself. See?-
Narue gulped, seeing this intelligent anonymous had a point. That's probably what Zabuza would do if they ran away with Tazuna. Wait a minute...
"Shikamaru and Sasuke are running from the battle with Tazuna?" she asked, not surprised, but worried. The mystery man nodded his head, or it seemed so, as his eyes moved out of sight for a moment, before returning,
-Yes. You passed out when I called you in here, so 'Shikamaru' took Tazuna, while 'Sasuke' took you. They're not far from the battle, so you might get back there in time. But before I send you back, I need to make sure you'll think up a plan instead of rushing in blindly.-
Narue nodded, and grinned at the mystery man before her, giving him a thumbs up, "Don't worry. I'm a quick thinker!" she said confidently.
Her head-mate's eyes seemed to smile, as he replied, his voice fading out as Narue began to wake up,
-I know you are.. I know you need to be.. I'm sorry, Narue. Good bye, for now.-
"Narue!" a voice came to ears, and she didn't stir; After a while, the same voice came again, "Narue, wake up!" the voice repeated, and Narue moaned slightly, "Come on, you troublesome woman!" the voice added with a hint of frustration.
"I think we can assume your methods aren't working. Try this." another voice came in, and Narue screeched as a bucket of ice-cold water was thrown over her. She flailed around in surprise for a moment, before picking the toad that sat on her face off of her, and sitting up, glaring heatedly at the slightly smirking Uchiha Sasuke. "Nice to see you're finally with us." Sasuke said.
"Gagh, you bastard!! You didn't need to pour freezing cold water all over me! Look at me, I'm soaked!!" Narue screeched at him.
"Maybe we shouldn't have woken her up after all.. tsk." Tazuna said, standing nearby them with a troubled look on his face. Narue glared at everything in general, until she realised that 'everything in general' was nowhere near similar to what she'd seen before she went off to that strange place inside her head.
"Where the heck are we now? Where's sensei!?" Narue gasped, shocked. She scrambled to her feet, staggering slightly and landing with her shoulder against Shikamaru's before regaining her balance.
Shikamaru tsked, "Don't you remember? Kakashi-sensei said flee so we made a tactical retreat. If we move now, we can make it to Tazuna-san's house in twenty minutes, and sensei will catch up with us when he's done with Zabuza." Shikamaru explained.
"Idiots!!" Narue exclaimed, horrified. Apparently, they were even more far away than that voice inside her head had guessed. Or maybe the transition between inside her mind and outside of it had taken up quite a bit of time.
-Unfortunately so.- came the voice again and Narue twitched in surprise. Shikamaru blinked at her, waving a hand in front of her face.
"You can still talk to me he-- Oh right. You're inside my mind, so of course you can.. Uhh.. What now?" Narue thought, wondering if the voice in her head could hear her like this.
-You need to head back to the battle zone. You should leave Shikamaru with the bridge-builder, tell them wait for you.-
Narue turned to Shikamaru and the bridge builder with a serious look on her face, "Shikamaru, you wait here with Tazuna-san. Me and Sasuke are going back to get Kaka-sensei." she said firmly.
Shikamaru blinked in surprise at the sudden authoritive nature, while Sasuke raised his eyebrows, "Kakashi-sensei ordered us to take Tazuna-san to his home. Why should we do otherwise?" he asked.
Narue turned to him, "Because Zabuza will just kill sensei then come after us! We need to make sure that doesn't happen. We need to protect our charge, Sasuke!" Narue snapped, startling Sasuke.
Sasuke looked to their charge, then back to the direction of the battle, then sighed, "I hope you have a plan.." he said, nodding to Narue. Narue suddenly grinned,
"You bet I do! Shikamaru, don't slack off on your duty while we're gone! Let's go, Sasuke!" Narue said, and Sasuke nodded, following her as they began racing back towards the battle, through the thick shrubbery.
Shikamaru rubbed the back of his head, looking really confused, "Okay, since when did Narue assume the role of our taichou? And since when does Sasuke take orders from Narue, or a girl for that matter?" he asked out loud.
"It is a little confusing.." Tazuna agreed, watching the forest nervously.
"It's not confusing, it's just damn troublesome! What did I do to deserve this? Really!" Shikamaru added, folding his arms and sighing out frustratedly.
Back at the battle area, Zabuza had released Kakashi once the genin were gone and opted for a one-on-one battle to settle everything. They had matched each other blow for blow, Zabuza seeking to knock down the first domino then head to obliterate the others in a chain reaction of blood-shed, and Kakashi wishing to extinguish the flames before they ignited said chain reaction.
Finally, after disappearing from sight momentarily and flying through the set of handseals, effectively creating another mizubunshin, Zabuza had his clone capture Kakashi from behind, and then he quickly made his way right up to Kakashi, with a kunai at hand. He'd save his cleaving sword for his target.
In the bushes, Haku watched on with an expressionless aura, "That isn't the true Kakashi.. I wonder if Zabuza-sama notices..?" he thought, observing quietly.
Zabuza pressed his kunai blade to Kakashi's masked throat, "Any last words, Copy-Ninja Hatake Kakashi?" Zabuza asked darkly, holding a kunai to Kakashi's throat as the silver haired man defiantly struggled against a doppelganger's hold, "Hu hu hu hu. You have no idea how long I've waited for this!" he said, smirking maliciously beneath his bandage-crafted mask.
"I have a feeling you'll be waiting a little bit longer." Kakashi said, disappearing in a swirl of water-logged leaves.
"Apparently, he did not.. Huh? What are they doing back?" Haku thought, sensing two chakra signals closing in and concealing his own wisely, shrinking further into the shadows for camoflage.
Kakashi too, hid in the brush, awaiting the perfect chance to attack and endeavouring not to make a sound as he knew Zabuza's hearing must be the keenest of the keen, as needed for his Kirigakure jutsu, the Art of Hiding in the Mist. He had to remain still, quiet, and focused. No unnecessary distractions.
"Kaka-sensei, we're here to help!" Narue suddenly said in a loud whisper, behind Kakashi with Sasuke at her side. Sasuke slapped his forehead quietly, and smacked him over the head,
"Shut up, you idiot..!" he said in a harsh whisper. Kakashi looked at them with an almost bored look, and when he finally had their attention, he put a finger in front of his lips as a gesture for them to actually be quiet. The two twelve year olds instantly quietened down.
"What are you two doing here?" Kakashi asked them quietly.
"We came to help you take care of the eyebrow-less freak." Narue replied simply, "I wonder when Kaka-sensei got out of the wonder ball..." she thought, folding her arms.
"I never asked for your help, I told you to get away with our charge. Where is he, and where is Shikamaru?" Kakashi asked.
"He's guarding the bridge-builder a couple of miles away from here. The area seemed pretty quiet so they should be fine. Narue, what's this 'plan' of yours?" Sasuke asked, turning to Narue. Narue opened her mouth to speak, when Zabuza interrupted from his position in the clearing,
"You do know I can hear you guys perfectly, right?" he asked, irritation dripping off his every word. Why didn't he just kill them while they talked? Actually, that might not be such a bad idea, after all, "I'll get the one who hit me over the head, earlier, first." he said, throwing the kunai he had been planning to use of Kakashi, and it hurtled towards Narue, point-blank towards her forehead. Narue's eyes widened considerably in shock, as the dagger dug right into her forehead, and she fell back.
Sasuke paled, "Narue!!" he gasped, beginning over to her, only to sigh irritably as she transformed into a log, "Kawirimi... warn me next time, you dobe!" he thought with a groan. He couldn't believe he'd missed the hand seals.
"Looks like someone needs to be taught their lesson again!! Hyaaah!!" Naruto flew at him with a hook kick from the air, only to have Zabuza block it with his left arm, grab onto her ankle and hurl her over his shoulder.
"Looks like you need to be taught a thing or two about respect, brat." Zabuza said, stepping towards the blond leaf-nin with a sneer, his eyes glinting so that he seemed like a demon in human skin, "I am Momochi Zabuza, Demon of the Hidden Mist. I've killed countless naive brats like you. One more won't matter to me. Prepare for an early funeral, meddlesome runt--" he was cut off when a barrage of kunai and shuriken pelted him, causing his mizubunshin to liquidise.
Sasuke landed from perpetrating the assault, snorting angrily, "These clones are getting really old!" both he and Narue thought frustratedly. Kakashi joined them in the clearing, guiding Sasuke towards Narue like a sheepdog, and quickly standing guard over them.
"I could have handled this easily on my one. Like he said, he's got a record for mass murder, and they weren't villagers, they were ninja. We're in over our head, but I'll try and hold them off while you guys escape." Kakashi said.
"But what about my plan!" Narue protested.
"What exactly was your plan, Narue.." Kakashi asked plainly.
"Hit him with everything I got, kagebunshin style!!" Narue said proudly, grinning.
The mystery man within her head promptly fell over in shock,
-Is this girl really my...? Jeez, didn't anyone teach you how to apply proper strategem?-
"What the heck is strategem? And my plan always worked with every other enemy I faced, mister whoever-you-are!!" Narue thought angrily.
-Those were street-thugs, and this is a missing-ninja who has killed countless other ninja!- The mystery man responded and Narue shrunk back from him, mentally.
Kakashi glanced to Narue and Sasuke briefly, before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, to which Sasuke jumped in surprise. Not a moment later, Kakashi reappeared, standing on the surface of the lake nearby.
Narue gasped, "How does he do that?" she asked and Sasuke shrugged haplessly, as Zabuza appeared adjacent to Kakashi, a smug smirk hidden beneath his mask.
"I see.. So that's how you want to go about it. Very well, but I won't lose!" Zabuza said, and with that, the two began to fly through a multitude of complicated handseals simultaneously. Landing on the final hand seal, they both yelled out,
"Suiton! Suiryudan no Jutsu!"
Narue fell backwards in shock, watching in awe as two graceful water-composed dragons rose from the lake, circling each other, sizing one another up, constricting one another and then crashing together and falling back into their natural state.
"He copied and memorised each hand seal flawlessly, in less than a split-second.. Is this the power of the Sharingan..?" Sasuke thought, amazed.
Shikamaru looked up, alarmed at the loud crash of waves from within the forest Narue and Sasuke had disappeared into five minutes ago.
"And already it's getting real bothersome.. What's going on in there?" Shikamaru thought with anxiety spread across his face.
"What's going on in there..?" Tazuna mirrored Shikamaru's inner question, tipping up his hat with a troubled look on his face, "Sounds like their right in the climax of some sort of battle?" he guessed.
Shikamaru rubbed some sweat from his forehead, "Could be.." he agreed, "I wonder.. if I were there, would I actually be of any use? I doubt it. What a drag! I feel like a third wheel or something!" he thought with a frown set on his face.
"Blasted Copy-nin.. It's as if he's.." Zabuza began in his thoughts, pitting his hand together in a hand seal for another jutsu.
"Reading your mind? Am I right?" Kakashi asked calmly, replicating the hand seal with his own hands, looking on as Zabuza twitched angrily. Zabuza grunted, and flew through another set of kata,
"You may be able to mimic me like a mindless parakeet, but I'm the genuine article! I'll spare you the pain and put you to sleep right now!" Zabuza yelled, only to have his words copied at the same time. Zabuza twitched again, then paled to see the illusion of himself standing over Kakashi's shoulder, "Damn it!! It can't be?!" Zabuza gasped, as Kakashi performed the jutsu he was preparing before he could himself, and was blown away by the ferocious torrent.
In the trees, Haku gasped behind his mask, "Zabuza-sama's in trouble..!!" he thought, standing up on the branch he occupied and disappearing in a gust of wind. Zabuza smashed against a tree, the whiplash stunning him. Kakashi landed in the tree above him, and looked down on him.
"W-what is this? Can you see the future?" Zabuza asked.
By Sasuke, Narue gasped excitedly, "Oh jeez, sensei's awesome!! I wanna learn that jutsu!" she exclaimed, while Sasuke kept his eyes trained on the battle.
"I can. And I foresee.. your death!" Kakashi said, only to nearly fall out of the tree in shock when two senbon flew into Zabuza's neck at break-neck speed, causing the missing-nin to fall over onto his side, seemingly lifeless.
Haku landed on the branch of a tree nearby the one Kakashi occupied, and bowed to the three stunned leaf-nin, "It seems your prediction was true indeed. Please forgive me, but I've been trailing Zabuza for months now. I couldn't let this opportunity slip out of my hands. I hope that you understand." Haku said politely.
"Of course." Kakashi nodded, still numb from the shock.
"I thank you." Haku nodded.
Narue furrowed he brows, "It's that girl with the ridiculous fashion sense again!" Narue gasped mentally, still having no clue whether or not it was a girl, but she was pretty sure with that girly voice of 'hers', "HEY!!" Narue yelled out suddenly, and everyone but Zabuza (for obvious reasons) turned to her.
"What is it Narue?" Kakashi asked, jumping out of the tree and checking Zabuza's pulse, "Definitely dead.. hmm.." he thought, then turning to Narue.
"I don't get it, sensei! How come it was so difficult for you to one-up this Zabuza guy, and that kid just takes him out like he was nothing?!" Narue asked.
Kakashi sighed, "Sometimes there are people like this. Stronger than me, and younger than you at the same time? Get over it, it's a part of growing up." Kakashi explained.
Haku performed a one-handed hand seal, and disappeared in a flurry of leaves, reappearing by Kakashi,
"Once again, thank you. I'll take it from here." he said, taking Zabuza's body and slinging it over his shoulders with a grunt. And just like that, he once again teleported away in a storm of leaves. Kakashi, Narue and Sasuke were alone in the clearing. After a few moments, Narue spoke up,
"What the heck just happened?" she asked, rubbing her head to soothe an oncoming headache.
Kakashi sighed and began to walk towards them, "Let's just get to the others.." he said, trailing off, "Oh great..!" he muttered, falling over and landing face-first in the dirt, out-cold.
"HUH!? SENSEI?!" gasped Narue, running over to him, Sasuke tagging along, equalling surprised. They knelt by him, looking over him concernedly, and the mystery man dwelling within Narue's cramped mindscape spoke up once again.
-It's probably from over-usage of the Sharingan.-
"Eh? What is Sharingan anyway?" Narue thought, grabbing one arm while Sasuke grabbed the other.
-Ask your Uchiha team-mate or Kakashi. I'm taking a nap.-
"Eh!? You can't take a nap on me!! I need more information!" Narue gasped out loud and Sasuke winced at her volume.
"Shut up! Sensei can't hear you anyway!" Sasuke hissed, frustrated and confused.
Narue snorted, "Who says I was talking to you or Kaka-sensei, teme?" she asked quietly and Sasuke shook her head.
"What's with this girl? I really can't understand these women.." he thought, going into brood-mode for the rest of the trek back to Shikamaru and Tazuna. After meeting up with them, the five travellers headed towards Tazuna's lake-side home, greeting his daughter on the board-walk before heading inside to rest up.
"Uggh.. Did you really need to be so coarse, Haku?" Zabuza asked, still unable to move properly, but hunched up against a tree stubbornly nonetheless.
Haku sighed, cleaning off his dirtied senbon with a handkerchief, "I am sorry.." he said, grabbing his mask and pulling it off, revealing his fresh, young, (beautiful) face, with his sincere, clear brown eyes, ".. I shall be more careful next time, Zabuza-sama.." he added earnestly.
Zabuza sighed frustratedly, resting his head on the tree trunk, "I'll beat him next time." he said.
Haku nodded, smiling pleasantly, "Of course." he agreed.
Who on earth is this mysterious young man using Narue's small and cramped mind as a makeshift bunker? How did he get there? How is it that Narue was so fast to learn the secrets of the chakra kunai? Team 7 may think Zabuza has been dealt with, but as time passes by, things are going to get more and more troublesome! Next time, on Kitsune no Shoujo!
