Shaman King.

Kitsune Inari

MangaGurl: Okay. Something has been greatly bothering me lately.... It's that I can't seem to get any reviews for my other two fictions! I personally think that's weird because this is the fic. That I wasn't sure about, yet it has more reviews than any of the others. Weird, huh? That also makes me feel kind of..dumb. (Anime sweatdrop.)

Ktisune' awoke the next morning, before anyone else. She decided it was time for some exercise. She quickly transformed into her fox form, and leapt out of the window. She ran around the garden. Then, of all people to emerge from the house, came Holy Girl Iron Maiden Jeanne with her pet baby fox, Kitsunebe, and of course, her friend Lyserg.

Kitsunebe ran around, thoroughly enjoying herself. Lyserg and Jeanne laughed. Then, Kitsunebe stopped, and sniffed around.

"Kitsunebe....what is wrong?" Jeanne asked.

Kitsunebe growled. She smelled another fox. Maybe a year older than herself. "Kitsunebe?" Lyserg asked. Kitsune' jumped out of the bushes, and attacked the other fox. Kitsunebe yelped, and got hit so hard that she was knocked unconscious.

Kitsune' growled, threatening the two humans. The backed away. Lyserg tried to open the door, but it was locked. (They left the key inside.anime sweatdrop.)

Kitsune' pounced, claws extended out. Jeanne and Lyserg screamed. Then, out of nowhere, leapt a small raccoon from behind Lyserg.

"NOBODY BUT NOBODY HURTS MASTER LYSERG AND MISTRESS JEANNE!" The raccoon screamed, tackling the fox. But, Kitsune' was still older, and stronger.

"Tanuki? I thought you were sleeping!" Lyserg called.

"I was!" replied Tanuki, "Until ten seconds ago!"

Lyserg and Jeanne do an anime fall. Then Kitsunebe woke up and joined Tanuki in a biting and scratching frenzy. They got a good, long scratch on Kitsune's front left paw. Kitsune' bit down hard on Tanuki and Kitsunebe's tails at the same time to reply, then ran away.

"Kitsunebe!" Jeanne called.

"Tanuki!" Yelled Lyserg. They both secured their pets in their arms, saying things like 'are you okay?' and 'oh, you're so brave!' and 'you poor thing!'. Kitsune' found this sickening and disgusting.

So she sought out someone to pity her. The only other one awake was that stupid girl Anna. She would have to do.

"Hm? Kitsunebe?" Anna questioned the fox that quivered in front of her. "No...you're bigger and older, aren't you? Well...SCRAM! If you're not Holy Girl Iron Maiden Jeanne's, then I don't have to be nice to you! Hmmph.."

Kitsune' made cute little whining noises. Anna softened. A little, anyways.

"Well...I suppose." Anna took out a cloth, and tied it around the foxes' bloody paw. "It's not like you can tell anybody...."

Then, Kitsune' stayed a while, to make it SEEM as though she appreciated Anna. Really, she was thinking, First, you're the meanest itako ever to walk the planet! Now, you're a softie. You don't deserve Yoh. He's too good for you. You are a sorry excuse for an itako, and a sorrier excuse for this boy's fiancé!

Then Kitsune' trotted away. After she was well hidden, she transformed back into her human form, and went to cook breakfast. When she entered the kitchen, there were two kids with blue hair sitting at the table. A small girl, and an older boy.

"Horo horo!" the smaller one said, "Stop whining! And get your butt out there, or do I have to get rough!?"

"But.....Pilica! I haven't eaten yet! Ryu hasn't woken up yet, and he stayed up late yesterday, so I can't wake him or I'll feel bad. Yoh is IMPOSSIBLE to awaken unless you're Anna! He's like a rock!" Horo horo whined.

"What does eating have to do with training?!" Pilica retorted, "GET YOUR BUTT OUT THERE AND TRAIN!!!"

"Um, I can cook...." Kitsune' said, her voice was lost in the shriek that erupted from Horo horo.

"I CAN'T TRAIN WITH AN EMPTY STOMACH!!! I'M TOO HUNGRY, PILICA!!!!"

"Then make yourself something to eat." Pilica sneered, "You aren't helpless."

"Are you NUTS?! I'll kill myself! I suck at cooking."

"Go ahead then." Pilica said.

"WHY YOU-,"

"I can cook for you...." Kitsune' tried again, but her voice was lost in Pilica's threats.

"What?! What am I?! I dare you! Call me a name!!!"

"Oh no, that's fine, really....." Horo horo tried to squirm out of his incoming punishment.

"CALL ME A NAME! GO AHEAD, HORO HORO! I'M WAIT-ING!!!!" Pilica laughed maniacally.

"Okay, you're a....."

"I CAN COOK FOR YOU!!!!!" Kitsune' screamed. These two were next on her list after Anna on people-to-kill.

"Oh, really? Why didn't you say so? Get cooking!" Pilica smiled. Kitsune' growled.

"Who are you?" A soft, dark voice demanded Kitsune'.

"Huh? I'm Kitsune'......" Kitsune' began to reply. She turned and faced Tao Ren.

"Kitsune'?" Ren asked, sounding amused.

"Kitsune' Inari...." Kitsune' turned around immediately. There was something about this kid that just bothered her. Fourth. Fourth, after Anna and Pilica and Horo horo, then she would kill this creepy little kid. She made herself some coffee, put it into a mug to drink.

"Kitsune' Inari. That name refers to a fox demon, does it not?" Ren asked.

"Yes.....but it's just....coincidental!" Kitsune' replied in fake cheerfulness.

"I'm Tao Ren. If you're cooking, make me some coffee while you're at it."

"Yes, yes, whatever you say...." Kitsune' rolled her eyes.

She poured more coffee beans into the coffee maker.

"Since when do kids your age drink coffee?" She muttered.

Horo horo, Pilica, and Ren all stared at her for a moment. Then they all burst out laughing.

"And WHAT is so funny?!" Fumed Kitsune'.

"You're our age!!!!" Horo horo laughed.

"So what?!" Kitsune' shouted. Then she took a sip of her coffee. She looked down at it, and did an anime sweatdrop. She'd forgotten that even though she was REALLY 200 years old, she looked like all of their age, in human years. "Oh.....yeah...I forgot..."

Everyone else does an anime fall. Eventually, Ren got his coffee, and Pilica got her pancakes, and Horo horo got his scrambled eggs, homemade waffles, and made from scratch orange juice. Then Yoh walked in.

"Hey. Who cooked?" Yoh muttered. He'd seen Ryu sleeping on the couch-still. And he was 99.9% sure that he wasn't a sleep walker, nonetheless a sleep- COOKER.

"I did! And I made you a special meal!!!!" Kitsune' beamed. She handed him a silver platter. It had scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles, milk, orange juice, cereal, bacon, sausage, and donuts. Yoh's mouth watered.

"That's ALL for.....ME?" Yoh asked.

"Yup! Dig in!" Kitsune' said, putting it in front of him. He obeyed in joy. She sat next to him, and they talked. She knew he was enjoying himself SO much more than when he was with Anna.

"Thanks, Kitsune!" Yoh beamed when he was done. Kitsune' giggled at her success of making Yoh like her. Then, Anna came inside.

"Yoh! Where have you been?!" Anna demanded. "Come on!"

Yoh smiled weakly, he tried to look as obedient as possible. Kitsune' sighed.

What an idiotic moron. Stupid Anna. Doesn't she know that Yoh won't be hers anymore? She should've spent time with him while she could've! Yoh s MINE now. Kitsune' smirked.

Anna's hand slipped into Yoh's on the way out. Yoh blushed. They closed the sliding door.

Kitsune's eyes bugged out in terror. Her body shook in anger. Her teeth gritted in frustration.

"AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!" Kitsune' screamed. She stormed out of the room.

"What's HER problem?...." She heard Pilica say.

Kitsune' slammed her bedroom door.

"Fine," Kitsune' muttered, "If I can't WIN Yoh's heart from Anna..." Her eyes glittered, and she smirked,

"Then I will just have to get rid of her..."
