Yoh had just finished his training for the day. Anna was extra mad at him for whining so much, so, to escape her wrath, he headed outside (by himself) for a walk. He was listening to his new CD, not paying attention. As usual. But, if only he'd paid attention, just this once, it could've saved him a world of trouble.

*************************************************************

Kitsune' the fox demon wasn't satisfied. She couldn't find a guy that looked like fun to kill. And, if they did look like fun, their energy was low, so she wouldn't get anything out of them.

She looked up at the stars. The sky was clear, and the stars were beautiful. She sighed. How unfortunate. This was a perfect night to murder someone. She tore her gaze from the sky to stare at the ground. Her eyes glazed over, deep in thought. She wasn't paying attention to where she was going.

That was how she met Yoh.

They slammed into each other, both falling backwards. Kitsune' let out a small scream, and Yoh's headphones went flying next to her.

Oh boy, was this jerk gonna' get it! She was gonna' wring their neck!

"Are you all right? I'm sorry!" She saw a cheerful little boy before her. His arm outstretched.

He was perfect! Young, full of energy, definently fun to kill!

"Oh.I'm fine." She said softly, she blushed. If she was nice enough, maybe she could squirm her way into living at his house.

"Here are your headphones. Do you like music?" She handed them over.

"Thanks, and yeah. I listen to it 24/7.ha ha." He pulled her up.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Yoh. My name is Yoh Asakura."

"I'm Kitsune' Inari." She said.

"Hey.what are you doing out so late?"

"Oh.just.walking."

"Heh. Me too."

"Um..I know that you don't know me all that well, but.I don't have a place to stay and." She sounded as timid and pitiful as possible.

"Stay at my house?" He finished, "Sure. I don't see why not."

"Wow! Thanks, Yoh!" She exclaimed cheerfully. This was almost TOO easy! She giggled in joy.

*************************************************************

"And WHO is this?" Anna yelled. She'd just finished lecturing Yoh about going out in the middle of the night without telling anyone.

"Kitsune' Inari." Kitsune' answered for him, "I'm sorry if I'm a bother."

"Well, good, because you are!" Anna yelled. She was having a bad day. Yoh had whined, she'd had no time to eat supper, she'd had to clean the bathroom (which smelled HORRIBLE) AND she hadn't gotten enough sleep last night. She didn't have the patience for a new guest.

"Anna!" Yoh scolded. She glared fiercely in return. He backed down.

"Okay, fine. What can you do?"

"What does that mean?" Kitsune; asked. This was the weirdest house she'd ever set foot in.

"What-are-your-talents?" Anna tapped her foot.

"Oh! I can clean, cook, garden, and shop,"

"I meant the specifics!"

"I can cook most Japanese and Chinese dishes, I can take good care of roses, daisies, lilacs, trees, and bushes, and fruit. I can find things that are of good value at cheap prices, and I can wash dishes by hand, sweep floors until they sparkle, wash floors, furniture, and food, and I can dust."

Over the years, she'd lived and dated various men, and had to learn multiple duties that pleased them. Housekeeping, how to cook, etc.

Yoh's eyes bugged out.

Anna tapped her foot again and crossed her arms.

Never had Kitsune' met someone so frustrating and hard to please!

"Um.I can clean bathrooms too." Kitsune' said.

That hit the jackpot.

"Oh! Well! Welcome to the Asakura house, Kitsune'!" Anna grinned, with a hint of relief and pleasure in her voice. The grin immediately faded into Anna's blank expression face, and she went to her room.

"Yoh! Do you wanna' stargaze with me?" Kitsune' asked.

"Sure!"

They sat outside on the deck..

"So.this Anna girl. How come you listen to her?"

"Um.I'm a shaman, and she's my trainer."

"A shaman?! That's so cool!"

"You aren't freaked?"

"No! I'm totally into supernatural stuff! Ghosts, shamans, demons.all of that!"

"Cool."

There was silence for a bit. Kitsune' decided that she was going to let Yoh live. Of millions and millions of guys, he was gonna' be hers. Maybe they could go and live in the demon world together. All of the other clan members would be so excited and jealous! In a fox demon's life, she kills tons of men. But, there's always one, that they keep. Then they marry, and settle down. No more killing.sigh.

"But, Anna's not training you now, is she? Why are you listening to her when you're not training?"

"Well.because we're engaged. Our elders made the agreement. We got no say in it whatsoever."

"ENGAGED!?"

"Does that bother you or something?"

"No, no, I'm fine."

NO! This isn't supposed to happen! He isn't SUPPOSED to be engaged already!!! Wait.what if he loved me so much that he was willing to fight his whole family just to be with me?.Yeah. That's what I'll do. Kitsune' thought.

"Could you show me where the guest room is? I'm really tired." Kitsune' asked Yoh.

"Sure." Yoh led her down the hall.

I'll need a good night's rest. She thought, I'll need my energy to think of the perfect plan. The perfect plan to make Yoh Asakura mine.

MangaGurl: Yes, yes. It was kind of long and kind of boring, but I needed to set the story. The next chapter will (hopefully) be better. I'll need two more reviews to continue. I'd REALLY like to know who you all want Yoh to wind up with. (Anna, Kitsune', or maybe even someone else, like, a surprise ending kind of a deal.) I'd also like to know if you think it's a good or dumb idea of a story. AND (you don't have to do all of this, it'd be okay if it was just one. But it'd disappoint me if you did none.) if you would tell me if Kitsune' is a good character or not. Thanx, Bye Bye!
