A/N: Hey! This is gonna be my last little intervention (Woohoo right?!) so, yes. The final of this story finally has came, and for two reasons 1) I have writers block for this story. My original plan was to continue the story to when they raise Selkie and Kana and when the war is finally over, but I scratched the idea because I know I wouldn't be able to write it decently. 2) Stand Still seems to be more preferred for my readers anyways, so I want to focus on that story. Now because I did such a terrible job on this story, I thought it was best I start fresh with a new series and a unique take on a Keaton x Reader x Kaden story. And if you stick around, you'll be able to read a little synopsis of what is to happen in the series.

Thank you for everyone who enjoyed this mediocre story, this ending is for you all.

Kurasu

Combing my hair I realized I tugged my hair a little bit too much hat my hair comb was caught in my hair.

"Jakob! Help, help, help, help, my hair- it's pulling itself out of its socket!"

Jakob hung up my kimono quickly and rushed over to side, grooming out the tangle. I sighed, looking at my feet.

"Gods, you need to show my sometime how to brush my hair so I don't have to rely on you anymore."

He smiled and continued brushing my hair gently. "It's okay Milady, I'm here for your best interests, and that's all you need to worry."

"Mkay... Then will you please fix my hair? I'm a hopeless case, I can't fix my hair or know a decent sense of fashion. I had to get Kaden to choose for me! How embarrassing was that?"

"It's not embarrassing. It's obvious the animal-I mean Kitsune knows his sense of style. When do you plan on telling him about your dreams?"

"... Wait how did you know he was the one?" I looked up at him. "Don't tell me you already questioned him-"

"No I didn't Milady, I just assumed because you're always flustered around him and act very peculiar in my opinion."

"You've known me too long."

"And I'm sure to know you for longer. Just don't go running off and getting married without my consent however like Miss Azura."

"Hey you knew a week before me! And you're Silas' Best Man, so you shouldn't be sulking."

"But I am because I had to help them plan a wedding in a week and also take care of you."

He placed the last pin in my hair then stuck the hair ornament in my hair. I turned around and crossed my arms, raising a brow.

"Well thanks for helping me, but you're planning on going like that? That's your typical clothing!"

Jakob smiled, but his smile turned into a smirk. "Well Milady, I do have a special outfit planned, but you insisted that I help fix your hair so now I'm in a rush."

"Okay okay... Just go then!" I pushed him out and yelled before I shut the door "And look nice!"

I resumed to putting the rest of my clothes on and smiled how pretty I looked in the mirror. Oh how I was super excited to see Azura and my best friend getting married.

I walked down the aisle, looking for seats, but it seemed that almost everyone beat me to getting a good seat. That is, until I saw a hand wave excitedly in the crowd and I followed it.

Turns out the Kitsune saved me a seat. Literally.

Kaden had plastered his legs on the seat next to him until I walked over and he swiveled his feet back on the ground.

"... Thanks, for uh, reserving my seat." I smiled, sitting down slowly. He nodded right before the music started playing, and we all turned around to see Azura walking down the aisle. Ryoma accompanied her down the aisle, and she looked radiant in a Hoshido traditional wedding dress.

I looked back to see Silas blush and he smiled nervously, looking back at his future wife. It was sweet to see Silas like that, but the whole moment was a breathtaking one.

Ryoma let go of Azura as soon as they reached the arch that was decorated with white flowers and vines. The fires that surrounded the altar glowed between Azura and Silas as they held hands. The romance was real, and it my heart fluttered to see my two closest companions tying the knot. They had been dating for five months, but I guess that was enough for them to get married.

"Today we are all gathered here to witness the wedding of Azura and Silas."

Silas mouthed "I love you" to Azura and she giggled a little, while Azama gave them a quick glare before continuing on.

"If there is anyone opposing this marriage-which is nobody- then let us continue so I can get this marriage over with."

Everyone was quit except for Kaden that snickered quietly. I slapped his knee with my fan, and he went quiet.

"You're not supposed to laugh at weddings! Are you crazy?" I whispered in his ear.

"Sorry, but it was sorta funny." He whispered back, and I slapped his knee again.

Azama coughed at us, obvious he was waiting for us to stop. I fanned myself and kept quiet, side glaring Kaden.

Azama said the rest of what typical weddings say (though I had never been to a wedding I always read it in books. They always asked the same questions to the couple anyways.) then he finally said

"You may kiss the bride."

As if Silas was just waiting for Azama to finally say that, he dipped Azura down and kissed her passionately. Everyone right away cheered and clapped as the music started playing again in a happy tune.

After Azura and Silas walked down the aisle together, the rest of the party followed for the after-party at the mess hall.

At the mess hall, Jakob was already there ordering the Hoshidan soldiers to start serving the people. The long tables were filled with foods of all sorts. Steaks piled high with its juices flowing, Hoshidan treats stacked as centerpieces, various soups to chose from, and more.

I really didn't know where to start.

Kaden seemed to know where to start. He took one of each, and his plate was so full, he had to bring a second. I went to talk to Azura and Silas as the line was still very long. The couple sat together at the front of the center table, talking until I walked up to them.

"Congrats. I'm so sorry I was late, I had some hair problems, but that ceremony was just beautiful."

Silas got up from the seat and pulled me in a hug.

"No worries (name)! I never saw you come in, so I was worried you missed our wedding, but I'm so glad you came!"

"As do I." Azura smiled. "You managed to come even when I told you just this morning!"

"Heh... You won't believe the shopping experience I had to go through to make sure I looked perfect for your wedding."

"I know. You took Kaden with you." Azura smirked a little bit.

"Wait you went shopping with the new guy?" Silas mock gasped. "My best friend finally is going to date?"

"Date?" I blushed. "Silas you're kidding me, he's just a friend, and you're just my best friend."

"(Name), you like him don't you?" Azura smiled. "Plus he is a Kitsune, and you were saved by one right?"

"Well now that you mention it, Kaden's Kitsune form was similar to the one that saved you when we were younger and you fell off that cliff. Same tribe?" Silas questioned. A moment of pause hung between the three of us as I started my eyes side from side before laughing.

"Oh stop it, now both of your imaginations are running wild." I joked.

"But he does seem awfully familiar... I just don't know how. Maybe he was the fox that saved you. I mean you guys are around the same age anyways right?"

"He's a year older-nevermind. Maybe you're right Silas." I sighed then smiled. "But don't worry about me. So where are you planning on going for your honeymoon?"

"Well..." Azura looked at Silas then at me. "We were planning on going to one of those deep realms. Time moves faster there, so we will stay for probably a year, which in our time will be two weeks."

"Two weeks? That's okay with me then, you deserve the break anyways, and this will be my thank you gift for everything you guys have done for me." I then handed my gift. "Look it's not much, and I'm not the best shopper, so it's not the best gift, but I hope you enjoy."

"Thank you!" Azura and Silas said in unison and I nodded. Sakura walked over with her present, and I moved out of the way. "Well I'll see you both later?" I said. They both nodded and I walked away.

"Hey don't forget we are going to be dancing at midnight! You should probably find a partner for that." Silas winked at me, and I stick my tongue out at him.

Why do they keep insisting I end up with Kaden? Such interesting friends I have...

But I mean, I kinda have been in love with him since we were kids, but does he even feel the same way?

Silas was right about the dancing. It really did start as soon as moon dangled above us. Although I wasn't a great dancer, I learned quick enough the traditional Hoshido dances. At the current moment however I was dancing right next to my siblings, Hinoka on my right and Takumi on my left as we started the inner circle around the fire, and everyone else was behind us. As soon as a certain note rang we swooped our hands up in the air and clapped twice while we stomped our feet on the ground. Takumi added a little extra movement to his dance as he created a little X on the ground as one foot would stomp away in one angle, then return to its original place, then the other foot vice versa. I giggled as at one point he almost tripped and fell, so I helped him back up and continued dancing. I decided to add a little twirl after each clap, and from the corner of my eye I saw Takumi glaring at me. I smirked, marching my way toward him, now that we were in eye level and clapped twice in front of his face.

"Oh sister, you wanna fight don't you?"

I nodded, continuing my variation on the dance. "Well, I mean. Why not? You're so goofy when you dance anyways."

"Dance battle now!"

"Yea!"

I heard Hinoka sigh as our perfectly organized ring suddenly turned to a mosh pit of Hoshidans spectating Takumi and I's little battle.

"So what moves do you bring to the battlefield huh sister?" Takumi taunted.

"I bring moves that nobody has seen before, and it's Nohrian!" I shouted back at him then did a mock twirl like a ballerina. The crowd gasped.

"Wow, you're truly Nohrian scum aren't you?"

The crowd went "O..." but it didn't pertain to me and so I started dancing, letting my toes twinkle as if I was dancing in the sky. I'm sure I looked silly, but I was living the moment. The crowd started chanting nmy name, and cheers went through the crowd almost in sync with the music that seemed to intensify every second. When I had nothing else to deliver I then stopped, opened my eyes, and looked at him with the biggest smirk on my face.

Instead of sticking to the music, Takumi went on a rampage with his feet, letting the soles of his sandals create their own beat and the dirt swirled around my little brother until he suddenly coughed because he inhaled so much dirt and fell on his bum. The crowd laughed while he pouted, covering his red face. I walked to him and bent over to give him a hand up.

"Why don't the two of us just dance okay?" I smiled. "Takumi and Nohrian scum style."

"Fine." He sighed, giving a small smile and we both starting dancing again til the music slowed down and the people surrounding us started to dance in pairs. Takumi and I looked at each other, then at the crowd for a possible partner. Oboro latched onto Takumi's arm in seconds, and they started dancing, while I was still alone.

That was til I saw through the couples that a certain Kitsune searching for a partner. I started walking toward him and soon his eyes met mine. It felt so perfect, like the stories I always read.

I felt each step beneath the earth bend for me, and nobody seemed to matter. It was just him and I.

I was in front of him, smiling shyly at he ground, brushing a piece of hair behind my ear.

"So... Erm." I muttered.

"Looks like the two of us don't have someone to dance with, eh?" He chuckles quietly, looking at the other happy couples dancing. I nodded. "I'm not a good dancer for couples dancing, so I'd rather watch."

"Oh that's ashame! I was gonna ask you to dance with me! After that dance battle, I was ready to dance with you..." He mock pouted, but I took his hand and laughed. "Well, I guess we can both be goofs then on the dance floor."

"Well not goofs, I'd say. I'm pretty beautiful myself." He smirked, holding out his other hand that I took softly as we started to join the herd of couples twirling and spinning gradually into motion like a pair of ballerinas in a music box.

I was so nervous to mess up that I accidentally kept stepping on his toes, that we stopped, still holding hands.

"Now." He whispered in my ear. "If you look into my eyes and don't worry about every step you take, you won't step on my toes as much as you are right now."

I nodded, and he then smiled, pulling away. "You ready to try it out now?" He asked, and I shyly said "Yes.". I took his advice (no matter how embarrassed I was to now have to concentrate at his beautiful eyes. I would do it all day if I could but once again, that's just kinda weird...) and looked at his eyes, letting my feet take on a natural rhythm of steps.

He was right I wasn't stepping on his toes after that.

"That's it (name)... You're getting it!" He cheered and we started getting faster and more fluid with out motions, no longer the stiff ballerinas but graceful like two birds in the sky. Just playing and flying in the air, without cares in the world except for each other.

Each other...

His dazzling smile was making my smile and my confidence rose more with every turn, and spin, one hand he held tenderly, the other was now on my hip. My free hand was wrapped around his neck, and we were close, just two animals with beating hearts that was lost in each other's eyes. So close to closing the gap between each other.

He pulled my body closer and my breath hitched before he leaned over and kissed me.

Part of me waited for this moment always, and his kiss was sweet, just perfect. Everything I probably ever imagined, and I kissed back, leaning back towards him.

We just kept kissing each other, though it was sloppy, until I ran out of breath and I pulled away, looking at him again and his entrancing eyes.

"To be honest," he said between his heavy breaths. "I had been waiting to do that since I met you."

"Same here." I smirked, looking away for a moment. He pecked my cheek and I felt the heat rising on my cheeks, along with that smirk fading away.

"Then I'm glad we finally got it over with then huh?"

"Yep.. I feel relieved I don't have to bottle up my feelings anymore."

He just stared, a big smile on his face, and we continued dancing through the night, this time my head on his warm chest our arms locked and tangled, not wanting to let go.

Of course, all happy moments must come to an end, and it did when Silas got on his horse, Azuda holding him from behind, a bouquet in one hand as she waved to everyone.

"Farewell everyone!" Silas yelled. "And wish us a happy honeymoon alright?"

The men cheered, but the unmarried ladies (including me) of the army were waiting for our chance to catch the bouquet. After waiting for an eternity, Azura finally threw it, and we all jumped forward to catch it.

I was so, so, so close until I got tackled and I fell to the ground as some other girl caught it.

When we all backed away, the girl who caught it was no other than my little sister, Sakura. She then timidly held it up to the air and smiled shyly, because she was going to be the next one to get married.

"Congrats little sister!" I walked up to her "Who's the lucky bachelor?"

"I-I think its H-H-Hiyato..." She stammered, looking at the tiny Diviner who was also blushing, giving a little wave to Sakura.

"Awww... Well don't get married too soon okay Sakura? I'm going to cry if you get married before me!"

"I-I think I will though!"

"How?"

"T-The Boquet says it s-so right?"

"Yea." I said, looking at Kaden with playful eyes, then at my sister. "It does say so."

Kaden slammed the door behind us as I leaned against the wall, planting kisses on each other's lips repeatedly without stopping. Small moans erupted from my mouth as I tried to fight for breath, but eventually just gave into the speed we were going at, his hands on hips, massaging up at down my back.

I finally then stopped and sighed, him trying to pry in another kiss, but I pressed two fingers on his lips and pushed his face away from mine.

"Don't worry I have something even more fun to do." I smirked, and he playfully smiled back.

My Kitsune (boyfriend now I guess?) turned into his fox self and jumped on bed, and I walked over, scratching his belly and legs and ears, and every part that he couldn't scratch.

"(Name), you're an amazing petter, you know that right?" He moaned out, playfully pawing at my arm.

"I know, but I'm so tired, can we just go to sleep?" I pleaded.

"No, just a little more," I petted behind his ears more, rolling my eyes. "That's it..."

I then stopped running his ears and yawned, joining him on the bed, rolling over the other way.

"Can you give me more space please Kaden? This isn't even your bed?"

"Then why don't I just hold you-"

"That's out of the question, and if I could I would definitely make sure to kick you out of here. But I'm not cause I'm lazy and I'm cold and you're warm."

"Okay. Suit yourself Princess (name). Goodnight!"

I blew out the candle on my nightstand, muttering "Night'."

At first I was cold and starting to wonder maybe I should ask the breathing blanket next to me if he could keep me warm, but I was unsure about waking up. Eventually I tapped his shoulder and he right away turned over, pulling me between his arms and I finally fell asleep nice and cozy.

Also that night, we snored like crazy in case you wanted to know.

That morning I woke up, alone, without the Kitsune boyfriend next to me. Although his fur was all over the bed, he was gone, just disappeared. I sighed, thinking that maybe I messed up last night, but when I looked at my nightstand for my diary, I instead found a little wrapped package with the tag written "(name)".

"Huh..." My voice trailed off, and I placed the package on my lap, first taking off the little white note and unfolded it.

"(Name),

I forgot to get this last time we went shopping, but I think you'll like it! I got it this morning at the store right when it opened, but hopefully you enjoy it right?

Kaden

PS Lilith told me how to get out of the Astral Plane, in case you were wondering how I was able to go shopping this morning."

A smile creased among my chapped lips and I right away went into opening up the package.

Inside of it was... What's this?

A thing.

It's just a thing, I didn't know how to describe it. It had flimsy plastic wallpaper above the thing that was sparkly, but that was kinda it.

Part of me probably thought that maybe Kaden knew how to operate this... Thing, because honestly I had no idea how to use it.

So I made a trip to his room and knocked quietly. Who knew if he was even up this morning?

He was though and opened up the door for me, leaning against the hinges as he quickly brushed through his silky hair.

"Hey there (name)! Did you get the gift?" He asked, and I nodded, showing him the thingy.

"Yea I wanted to ask you about it... What is it?"

"Well how about you sit down and I'll show you." He gave me his typical silly smile and I walked slowly into his room. It was a bit on the messy side, except for his mirror, which was tidy and looked sparkling. Of course he kept his beauty products in pristine condition.

I sat down on his bed and he then sat down next to me, motioning with one hand to pass me the thing.

"Okay, well... This is a kaleidoscope. What you do is with one hand hold the scope, and the bottom you just kinda turn and look through the little lens that's on top of the scope." He explained whole showing me the motions, then handed it to me.

"So what's special about this?" I asked. "What do you see?"

"You see something that's special, but I don't wanna ruin the surprise for ya. It's pretty groovy."

I muttered "dork" before looking through the lens and started to rotate the bottom.

But all I saw was black.

"Kaden... I don't see anything. It's just black."

"Point the scope toward the window then."

"Okay..." I sighed, doing what he said, and I finally saw something... Beautiful.

Inside the kaleidoscope was an array of colors that sparkled like little gems, the more I turned the bottom part of it they shuffled around softly to create different spectacles of sort.

"Kaden it's so pretty!" I squealed. "I love it, this is such an awesome gift, I need to find myself another one like this."

"Well I did choose it because I knew you would like it and-d-d..." He looked away quickly, his face turning so red, not even his auburn locks could hide it.

"And what?" I asked softly, looking off from the kaleidoscope.

"Well I thought that this would be a way to bring us together or a way for me to talk to you again like the old days."

"Old days..?"

"Look it's obvious you forgot about me a long time ago, but I didn't. You were a Princess from Nohr and you fell off a cliff. I'll never know why, but that day changed my life. I f-felt so happy, as in like the happiest person-" he rambled on, until I put a finger to his mouth and took his hand, smiling.

"I think now it's my turn to show you a surprise."

"What are you doing?"

"I'm doing something I should have done when I met you. Now just wait outside, I don't wanna reveal where I kept it."

His tail went down, but he did as I said and I closed the door, quickly looking for my journal. I pulled open a secret compartment in my nightstand and took out the journal, now opening up the door for him.

He noticed that I was holding a journal and he gave it a confused look, but I sighed.

"This is my journal, well it's a record of dreams I've had since I was twelve." I confessed, handing him the journal. "I-I trust that you won't call me crazy for what I wrote, but I think you know somewhat of my dreams."

Kaden stayed silent, as he flipped through pages, blinking every other second. I on the other hand stared down at the book, so nervous, so worried he would just have me a weird look or leave or something.

"You had dreams... Of our past?" He said in a low tone.

I nodded, looking away. "Is it true? Were we friends? Did I really live in the Kitsune hamlet?"

"Yea it's true." He laughed quietly. "But this is incredible, here I thought you forgot me, but you didn't! So how much you couldn't remember?"

"I don't know really... My childhood, it was a blur, I only remember some stuff. But I then had these dreams, well of you and I when we were younger. This was before we even met, and when I met you I didn't want you to know that you're the kid who always shows up in my dreams and such."

He flipped through more and more of the pages, scanning through each page, his face showing an array of emotions til he shut the journal and handed it to me.

"You know the real reason why I gave you the kaleidoscope was because when we were younger I wanted to give it to you and tell you that I had a major crush on you."

"But what happened?"

"The Nohrians, they found you, and they took you away."

"Away? Why?"

"Well because... Remember when you helped Elder Yui to decorate the huts?"

I nodded, remembering that dream. It was freezing and my fingers were numb, but our decorations brightened up the coldness so I didn't mind to help.

"Yea I remember."

"Well we did that because the Hoshidans were going to come. My father he knew that you were the kidnapped princess of Nohr, and as soon he saw you, he sent a messenger to The Royal Family, but they arrived to get you a day late, and I never got to tell you-"

"Tell me what?"

"That I love you, and you're the most precious thing to me. Even more beautiful than me, and the way you smile and blush, and-" He was cut off by me pulling his scarf and gave him a quick kiss, then pulled away. He just stared at me with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.

"To be honest, I felt the same way ever since I had the dreams. Gods, I had dreams about it and I fantasized while reading books while stuck in my castle when I was younger. I've been waiting for this." I smiled. "Now that I'm finally outside of Nohr, and reunited with you, I'm so happy that I can finally say that I love you too."

"Well aren't I glad I confessed to you! I feel so happy now." He chuckled lightly, holding me closer, and I giggled, snuggling against his chest and I closed my eyes, thinking about everything that happened, from when we were kids playing in the snow, or celebrating festivals, singing, holding hands, endless smiles even when it was raining outside.

"Yea, I'm glad too."

And most of all, I was grateful to my younger self for finding my soulmate when she fell down that cliff.

And now she's on the Outside.

Fin…?

"Also… How did you ever leave the fox clan? Like I understand you made favors, but I feel like that's not the whole truth."

"Oh, well, you see… The first favor I gave was to your maid, Felicia because I protected her from a Faceless."

"Wait how did you know that Felicia was my maid?"

"Easy. I pestered her to tell me who she was, and when she finally did, I begged her to let me accompany her in her search for you."

"Well that makes sense why she gives you dirty looks now."

"Hahaha… Yea."

And now a little bonus for a possible new story I'm making. I'm not sure yet if I seriously want to go through it, so I'm letting you readers who have been faithful since June to decide if it's worth writing. Now the name of the new story if I go with it is called " d", which will be a Keaton x Reader x Kaden fanfic set in modern times, and will have some ties t and this story. Sorta. Anyways, without further ado, here is… a sneak peak fo d.

"We made it." I breathed the air in and exhaled, letting my arms spread wide. (Friend's name) took a selfie of her at the base of Mount Fuji, while (Friend #2) just looked at the clouds above the mountain.

"Yea we totally did (name), I'm totally posting this on tumblr-Oh hey Mr. Guide-san-sempai! Could you take a photo for us?" She ran over to our tour guide and handed her his phone. Our tour guide was an old man who was from Kamakura. However, even though my friend was loud and didn't seem to respect the japanese culture (when we went to the Shinto Shrine, she refused to wear a kimono and instead wore a t-shirt and jeans to it), our tour guide was nice and he nodded, flipping up the photo tab and held the camera sideways.

"You all ready?" He questioned in his thick accent, looking up from the camera.

"Yea we are!" (Friend #1) shouted, wrapping an arm around me.

"Uh… (Friend #2), get a little closer to (name)."

"Mkay." She quietly said, inching closer then held out a peace sign.

"And in, three, two, one… Say 'Mount Fuji'" He exclaimed, snapping the photo as we all smiled wide. But that's also when I felt a brush of fur slithered across my ankles. My friends didn't notice, running toward our tour guide to see their pictures. Except me, who turned around to face what touched me only to meet eyes with… a fox? It was huge, with auburn fur, not like the ones I saw in the Appalachians.

NO. No this one was different, and it had red eyes, that looked like that had fire blazing in them. But it did nothing, just stare at me and tried to get closer until I shrieked and my friends looked up from the phone, noticing what I faced and screamed too, starting to run away with our tour guide.

"Sir what the hell is that?" (Friend #2) yelled as we ran for our beat-up Nissan.

"Kitsune." He said calmly, though when I turned back the kitsune kept following us, and I felt its eyes watching me.

"Kistune? Aren't those japanese myths? They aren't real, and if you're confusing this thing with my husbando in Fire Emblem, who is a kitsune, then you're a real prankster Sir." she huffed, sweat beading down her face.

"So I suggest you stay calm, mam."

Finally the van was in plain sight and we piled in, the tour guide turning in the car keys and started to drive in reverse in a fast manner that the tires screeched against the dirt path.

And that's when I saw the Kitsune running down the path as fast as it could, but in a blur we saw it spin and with the flick of its long fluffy tail whacked the car sideways. We all yelped, and realized that now the fox-thingy was on top of the car, pawing and scratching a way to break through. (Friend #1) whimpered, her head now with a big gash, clinging onto (Friend #2) who was in just as bad shape. I looked at them, then at the fox and shook my head.

"Why… Why are you doing this?" I whispered weakly, seeing that the Kitsune finally stopped attacking, his ears flicking up.

"Don't do it anymore… P-please," I continued, frightened and breathing while sitting sideways, knowing I must be crushing my friend's bodies. "I bet you're a fri-endly f-fox so stop attacking. W-we did nothing except v-visit your home.."

"So stop… No more."

The fox's demon red eyes blinked and with a little nod he jumped off the car, and instead of walking away, he went to the other side of the van, causing the interior to shake.

"(name), I don't think he's going to stop, we're his dinner for tonight."

"Shh… (Friend #1), let's see what happens. He seemed to respond to my words." I whispered back. The tour guide stood still, not saying a single word, and it seemed that wasn't moving. Was he dead?

The fox kept rattling our car, until we heard a groan from the tires and all our bodies lifting up to the sky. I looked over on the left window and saw he was actually pushing the car back up. With a sudden thud, we were upright again, the Kitsune ambling away from the scene.

After a few seconds, there was just silence amongst ourselves until the Tour Guide huffed and turned van on, letting the motor run for a moment before taking off. My two friends hugged each other and sobbed on each other's shoulders, while I looked back and in the middle of the path the Kitsune, who then turned into a… human?

The silhouette had ears and a tail still (Like a furry), but I saw the man-kitsune-thing look down at the ground before looking at my eyes. I quickly turned around, realizing that I probably shouldn't have seen it, but it's already too late. My curiosity already sparked.

"Uh, so, sir… What exactly are Kitsunes?" I asked.

"Well, Kitsunes aren't myths like most westerners believe. They're real, and many of the spirits are also humans that have lived for centuries. That was until 800 AD a large amount of Kitsune were killed for their fur by Europeans. They didn't realize that Kitsune were very special and that they basically were killing off peaceful, gentle souls. Many are rogue because of it, and there are still poachers even if it's been illegal since the 1800s. I've never seen a Kitsune nearby Mount Fuji however… You three must be very lucky."

"Lucky?" (Friend #1) huffed. "Yea right, we nearly got killed…!"

"I'm using sarcasm. Isn't that what you westerners do?"

I giggled quietly, glad the tense situation we were in lightened up a little as she and the Tour Guide argued a little bit.

But I still wondered… Why did the Kitsune attack us? And why did he stop when I told him to?
