Marry Meet

"That's better." He said as he closed the gap between them.

"I can't move!" The girl thought to herself as she tried again and again to move her now stone like muscles. "He must be using magic, how else would he be able to stop me with one word…but I didn't know magic could do this with out a spell."

He came closer to the girl, and looked at her. "Hmm, you look like some one I know!" And indeed she did with her long slightly wavy reddish brown hair and small and slender build.

"He's too close, what's he going to do to me? Wait maybe I can throw him off balance." The girl looked up at the man as he spoke those last few words and said. "Was she pretty?"

"Huh? What?" Asked Xellos as he was snapped out of his dream world by hearing the girl speak for the first time which also resulted in him losing his concentration.

"Yes that did it! I can move again but he'd just catch me in a few seconds, so I've got to do the unexpected!" The girl concentrated for a second and then disappeared, and where the girl had been there was now standing a kitsune(1 and pooled around the kitsune's feet were the girls dress and large cape . The kitsune started to run down the long passageway. "Now's my chance, there are only two ways back to the room and be caught or see what's down at the other end of this corridor."

Xellos looked in the girls direction, to ask her what she had said and saw empty air. He looked all around and finally saw a small reddish brown kitsune running at high speed to the opposite end of the corridor. "Oh my! Now this is interesting!" He knew that if he didn't act fast then his new servant would find a way out of his mistress's fortress and get eaten with out ever knowing that she was a monster. Then he took his monster shape started to chase after the kitsune.

The kitsune looked over her shoulder and saw him coming after her in the shape of a black tornado or cone. "What is that thing and why is it after me? I'd ask but it would catch up. There's only one thing to do at a time like this…RUN FASTER!" She ran faster down the long corridor. "Uh oh! Shape corner dead ahead and if I slow down now it will get me, what is a girl to do?" When the corner came she closed her eyes, ran full steam. Then leaned into the turn and she skidded around corner and, into an open pair of doors, almost hitting them in the process.

Xellos who was gaining on the kitsune, and saw her skid into the open doors. He stopped just before he got to the sharp turn and changed back into his humane form. There was no danger that his new servant was going to get out of the fortress and get eaten by one of his mistress's okamis(2 now.

She finally skidded to a halt, sat down and opened her eyes and saw the room. It was the most impressive room she had ever seen in her life, even in her imagination.

It was a massive room with the ceiling at least 40 feet over the floor and pillars to hold it up. The ceiling was amazing it looked like the sky complete with the clouds billowing slowly across the sky and bird and trees reaching up to great the sun it was beautiful. The massive pillars that the girl had thought were stone now looked like animals and trees. At the back of the room was a low couch like chair big enough for a giant dog and a few other wild animals all at once. But all the chair held was a josei(3 who was the very picture of elegance. The women was dressed in a long silvery gown with elegant runes stitched into it in gold thread for the trim. Her hair was a silvery gold with light hardly noticeable lavender highlights. In one the women's hands were and elegant cigarette holder which trailed a thin stream of smoke, while the other held an amethyst crystal flask.

The josei looked down at the little reddish brown kitsune in her throne room and said. "Hello little one how did you get in here? Did you and your pack get separated?"

The kitsune only looked at her with a puzzled face. It seemed that the lady didn't mind having a kitsune in her throne room. The she nodded to the women because she was obviously expecting it.

The women responded to the expectant nod by saying, " Aww its alright come here and mommy will she that you get back to your family." The josei held her arms out as if to a frightened child.

True she was frightened but she was not a child. The kitsune didn't know what to do but was drawn to the josei. So she moved closer to her but would not go into the josei's embrace.

"Xellos!" The josei called out as the kitsune sat beside her chair. "Xellos, get in here."

At that moment Xellos walked into the thrown room and replied. "Yes mistress Xelas you called?"

The Kitsune saw Xellos and backed behind Xelas' chair so that he couldn't see her. And set her self in a position to run if she had to, though she didn't think that it would come down to that.

Xelas Metallium looked at him and said. "One of the kitsunes some how got separated from her family and wondered in here. And I would like you to bring her back to her family."

"Yes mistress." He looked around but didn't see any kitsune. Maybe its that girl, my new servant. "Umm Mistress where is the kitsune that I'm supposed to bring to her family?"

"She's right here behind my chair." Xelas reached back and picked up the kitsune. "Your such a playful little thing." She put the kitsune down on the floor. "Don't you like her Xellos?"

Xellos looked at the reddish brown kitsune and did a double take. "Mistress, that is not an ordinary kitsune. She is a…" He started to say but never finished.

The kitsune sat still for a second and then there was a girl clad only in a bra and underwear, sitting were the kitsune had been. "The kitsune is a lycanthrope." The girl finished for him and then looked from one to the other. "Umm may I please have something to where?"

"Oh, sure here you go." He tossed her, the dress and cape she had slipped out of in the corridor when she transformed.

"Thank you umm Xellos san right?" She managed to say with some dignity as she slipped the dress on to her body over her head. She looked at Xelas and said. "I'm sorry Xelas samma that I had to trick you or that you thought that I was one of the kitsunes here but, your minion was chasing me around."

Xelas' eyes laughed at those words. "Quite alright my dear, but tell my one thing. How did you get here in the first place?" She asked the girl as she took a drag from her cigarette, she exhaled the smoke which curled delicately around in the air in little spirals.
