The Foxgirl slept for three days. She needed less care then Jinn thought she would. She woke up on occasion to drag herself out of the small burrow to eat and then came back and curled into the depression she had made in the earth. Jinn went out the third evening and when he came back she was sitting up, looking around, blinking as if she couldnt believe herself.
"Ah!" He said, too pleased to say anything else. "Glad to see you're awake, then. "
The foxgirl jumped and pressed herself against the wall of leaves and branches. "Relax, bairn, no one's going to hurt you."
"Yeah." She said after a long moment, easing herself down. "You saved me from the dogs. For that I owe you."
"You're a little young to be owing debts this way and that." Jinn told her, amused. "There's no debt between friends, just favors." He smiled as cheerfully as he could manage, under her gaze, frank and slightly accusing. "I'm Jinn by the way."
"Madoka." She offered.
"Madoka? That's a right pretty name, it is." Jinn told her, settling himself down, cross legged. "Do you want some?" he added as an afterthought, holding out the cardboard box in his hand. "Pizza. Got a bit blown about by the trip but it should still be alright." She shook her head, so he opened the box and pulled out a peice on his own, eyes glinting. "How'd you come to be chasin sheep in the dead of night anyway?"
Madoka shrugged. Her long ears pinned forward, then drooped again. "I don't know. I owe you a favor." She said again, suddenly, as if just remembering it. "Name it, Jinn the Wind Master, and it will be yours."
"I don't need anything."
"Don't be stupid. Everyone needs something."
"Nothing a little foxgirl can give me." Jinn said uncomfortably, noting in every line of her body exactly what the foxgirl had been prepared to offer him.
"Foxgirl?!" Madoka echoed faintly, in the fading silence. "I'll have you know that I am Yokou Madoka, last surviving member of the fox demons, Madoka the feared, the ruthless, the-"
"Yes, yes." Jinn innturrupted, waving his hand. "Forgive me, but I've heard the titles."
Madoka looked at him with a frown. "And I am a wee bit older then I look, I'll have you know."
"If you insist." Jinn said, with another wave of his hand. "Could you get me another pizza then, if you insist on repaying your dues?"
Madoka raised one red eyebrow.
"I'm sorry, I really am." Jinn said, and meant it. "I don't....It's not something I can explain." He finished lamely. Madoka's tail flicked, and her ears twitched again. Jinn was irritated at the easy way her emotions betrayed themselves through her tail and her ears, almost invoulentarily. So easy for her, what did she have to worry about?
"You don't have to." She said simply. "Yokou Madoka, the beloved, the feared, the slayer of all evil that troubles this island, she knows all."
"Oh really?"
"Don't give me that look." Madoka said shortly. "I know what you want. You want to be human. You want to go to Japan and find Yusuke Yurameshi."
Jin sweatdropped. "How do you know that?!" He demanded faintly, and Madoka laughed, tapping the edge of her bright red mohawk with one long finger.
"Yokou Madoka knows all!" She crowed triumphantly. "I can do it, if you want."
"You can make me mortal?" Jinn asked in mild suprise. Madoka nodded solemnly.
"Aye. You'll live and age and die like every other mortal would. You'll be human like Yusuke." Madoka said, nodding along with her words and a serious look strange on her young face, so unnaccustomed to frowning. "There's no garentuee Yusuke will love you or even accept you- I can't promise that. But you will have your chance." she glanced over at him with another frown. "You have to be willing to risk it, Jinn."
Jinn pushed himself back away from the kitsune a moment to think. "You know," He said, a bit at random, he didn't know why she would care- "You're not the last of the kitsune."
She shrugged, a droop of her shoulders and frowned again. "We're an aincient breed of demon. One of the oldest in the Makai. I am revered as the last of the-"
"We're on Earth."
"Stop wasting time, Jinn!"
"I have to think about this one!" Jinn yelped, shoving her away. "This does mean a death for me, you know." Madoka rolled her eyes, as if she couldn;t believe anyone could ever want to think. Jinn sighed.
"Alright." He said, sliding out of their burrow and standing at his full height- wich, granted, wasn't much. "Let's do it, then."
End part three
