"Chapter 1: Steppin' Out"
XxXx
The weather that day was warm and breezy, the chirps of the bird clear and sweet, melodious in a sense. Deep in the forest so wide and vast, lived many a clan of different kitsunes.
Hostile?
Yes very much so, since all the clans were very territorial. Marrying into another clan was deemed sinful and they must keep their breeds pure, as the elders said. Mating with another kitsune clansmen was deemed unforgivable and resulting in being banished for eternity, condemned to die alone and wander the whole world without ever finding a permanent home.
But that would change, and everything would become something unimaginble.

"Oi! Yugi! Wait!!" Jonouchi screamed, running after his friend who was dodging and giggling, running away. "Yugi!!"
Jonouchi was a light fox, with bright golden ears and tails. He had 5 appendages sticking out of his back and his haori and yukata, colored plain white and grey. A silver bell was attached to a dragon ornament on his hair, its black color contrasting against Jonouchi's dirty blonde hair and amber eyes.
Yugi giggled as he ran off, his friend on his tails. He turned his head forward and dashed off more, smirking to himself and ducking low around branches and bushes. "No Jonouchi! I have something to do and have to go somewhere!" he shouted, his white, black and violet tipped ears twitching with excitement, 4 of the similarly colored tails waved behind his back.
Yugi was beautiful in a sense, eyes rounded yet slightly curved at the ends, violet orbs glowing like stars. He had tri colored star shaped hair, composing of onyx, golden sun, and blood red rose. He had a lithe and slightly feminine body but not enough to be deemed a woman. He was beautiful in his own way. He was wearing a kimono, the color of rich blue, that had roses and embroidered gold at the hems of the sleeves, a golden colored obi was holding his kimono in place.
"But Yugi! What will the elders say if you disappear like that again?!" Jonouchi shouted, worried for his friend.
Yugi kept on running, Jonouchi still following behind him. "Tell them i'll be back! You're older than me and you're 500 years old! It shouldn't be so hard!"
Jonouchi let out a squawk of indignation. "You're 400 years old and you say i'm an old man now?! Oh, you're so gonna get it later Yugi!" the golden colored fox, stopped and thought. "But, yeah, I'll tell the elders! You owe me for this!" Jonouchi's voice had become distant, far even, but Yugi managed to hear him.
"Yes Jonouchi! Thank you so much!" he replied, knowing the other had heard him.
Yugi ran farther and farther away, losing the sight of his village, knowing in his mind that he knew the forest like the back of his hand since he had explored since he reached his 100's, he wasn't worried about such things, enjoying the taste of freedom that his running had to offer.
He jumped up from tree to tree, trying to look for a spot that he could rest, the surroundings around him were lushious green and a mirage of colors.
He looked around, eyes zeroing in on a meadow that had a stream running, since he could hear the the rush of water. He smiled and jumped down from the branch he was situated in and giggled, runnung over the the meadows and practically diving to the flowers, rolling around and giggling.
This was perhaps the most peaceful day he could ever have! It was the best!
'I wish I had someone to share this moment with.' he thought to himself, closing his eyes and staring at the blue sky, eyes twinkling slightly.
"If only the elders weren't so harsh on letting us out of our territory." he whined slightly, feeling a small twinge in his heart and the light in his eyes slightly diminished.
Yugi pouted and sat up, looking down at the patches of flowers he had laid on and picked one dandelion, blowing on the petals, watching as the fluff flew through the air, his ear twitched, indicating he wanted to make a wish.
And so, clasping his hand together and closing his eyes, fingertips pressed slightly to his lips, he made a wish, a wish he kept secret in his heart.
'I wish I had a someone, a someone just for me. So i'll never be alone again. I have my friends yes, but I wish to have someone by my side that will forever love me.'
Little did the light fox know, his wish was not unheard and would forever change the history of one long hidden in the shadows.

Yami ducked away from his friends, obvious chattering, he was simply not interested in their topic of finding love and all that crap. The only thing he would rather be with was his cousin, Seto.
Yami was a dark fox, black ears with orange tips and 4 tails sticking out of his back, he was the definition of handsome, although lanky and a bit below the average, he was strong and had the brains, swift and quick in his move. He had star shaped hair, golden bangs that had streaks running up the black of his mane and crimson highlights. Two silver bells were attached to a triangular gold shaped puzzle on his hair. His crimson orbs lazily trained on the door.
"Where are you going?" Bakura's voice cut off, making Yami halt in his tracks.
There was a pause. "I'm going off. If the shadowed ones come looking for me, tell them I have somewhere to go to and its important." he replied with a shrug.
Bakura blinked. He was weird and different from all the other dark foxes. Instead of black tails and ears, he spurted silver instead. The silverette was 600 years old, older than Yami but much more... reckless than him if he so wished.
"Where to? To find your mate?" Bakura smirked.
Yami turned his head to the other fox and glared, his ears flattening in slight irritation. "No!" he snapped. "I just have to go somewhere and get out of this plain old boring territory! I can't stand if I'm cooped up like this! Tell them that will you?" he added, growling slightly.
Bakura's ear twitched in amusement, he smirked more, his eyes gleaming. Ohhh Yami really hated that smirk. "And if I don't?"
"I'll make sure you'll never reproduce again and cut your manhood." Yami replied nonchalantly.
Bakura's eyes widened before he groaned, slapping a hand to his face. "Fine, fine. Geez, you need to chill. I was just playing." he said, tails flaring as he stood up. "I'll tell them you went off," he grumbled words that Yami could not hear.
Yami nodded his thanks and opened the door, his crimson eyes being met by sunlight. His surroundings was.. dark per say, the dens all spurting shadows. Yami hated that their world was dark and he wanted to get out of this hole.
He sighed. 'Well, here goes nothing, I suppose.' Yami mused and began to run, his dark colored kimono, painted with light zig zag lines and yellow triangular shapes that contrasted against the dark, dotted against the lower part, light red was painted on the hems of the sleeves and a red obi held his clothing in place.
He ran and ran, breaking away from the barrier of their clan's protection and breaking free into the colorful world of the unclaimed territory. He chuckled to himself as he ran off, his heel swerving sharply to take another turn.
'Finally! Freedom!' Yami cheered.
His feet pattered gently on the ground, not disturbing the grass.
Yami hummed in pleasure, as the wind rushed past him, making him feel alive.
He had encountered a meadow with a stream a few days ago, perhaps he could go there and sit down by the shade and simply enjoy what was offered? Yeah, Maybe.
Shrugging to himself, he made a mad dash to the meadow and laughed softly as he arrived.
He stretched and sighed, letting hus muscles unwind and began walking to the open field.
He halted in his tracks when his eyes saw another fox who looked like him, his eyes widening in surprise and an interested spark lighting up beneath his crimson orbs.
The fox infront of him was quite a beautu to behold, his eyes closed and hands folded in a prayer, his tails laid by his side and his ears pointing downwards, a golden bell strung up with an ornament fan behind his ear. All in all, the fox was very beautiful, Yami thought.
The dark fox gulped slightly, not quite used to seeing other foxes, sure territory was a thing but there was no territory here and everything was free, and well... they weren't allowed to see other clans.
When the beauty opened his eyes, Yami was struck dumb at how sparkling and pretty those violet orbs were. He stiffened, his tails lashing behind him nervously.
XxXx
Yugi opened his eyes and sighed softly, folding his hands neatly on his lap, he tilted his head, the bell chiming as his ears perked up and heard a sound.
His heart beat increased rapidly as he felt a presence not far from him and staring at his form.
And so, after a quick debate, he mechanically turned his head to the source, afraid and yet curious at what awaited him.
He froze when he saw a handsome fox staring at him, eyes locking against the burning crimson orbs. Yugi grew nervous, and clenched his hands tightly against each other.
The most strange thing about them was the similar yet different hairstyle. Yet Yugi found that it suited the other.
Before the light fox could even speak, the other came into the light, making the currently nervous fox gasp.
He was..
He was from the dark kitsunes... and yet... why wasn't he afraid?
Yami slowly and cautiously made his way to the being, his feet hesitant as they moved. He was anxious and knew exactly what the being in front of him was.
A light kitsune.
Yami found that he was quite intrigued, even though at the back of his head, something screamed that this should be forbidden.
Before the other could speak, Yami had blurted out a question, too late to cover up even if he had absolutely tried to clamp his mouth with his hand;
"Who are you?"
XxXx
