A/N - Hey everyone. Here are replies to reviewers
joecool4 - No, there is no Yaoi relationships in this story. I'm more of a reader of yaoi, than a writer.
DarkGaara - Hmm...Kiri is about the age of 18
Also, my updates may become less frequent....new semester in school and I'll have to get used to it. But I will update

Twisting Fate: Kitsune
Staring at the glowing sunset, Kiri sighed, heaving her shoulders. How far away is that damn Konoha?! I'd better not be lost! Damnit!! Kiri cried out in anger and punched the trunk of a tree out of blind rage, snapping back to her senses when she felt pain jolt through her arm and sear at her knuckles. She pulled her arm back and looked at her hand, seeing a cut in her gloves and some blood seeping out. She cursed silently to herselfand dropped to her knees, taking off her backpack and rummaged through it. She let out a quiet victory sound as she pulled out a roll of bandage, smiling. Pulling off her glove, she flexing her hand slightly, feeling it was slightly numb. She wrapped the bandage around it tightly and tied it, putting the bandage back into her backpack along with her glove. Sitting down she looked through her bag again, pulling out a few canned foods, making a heavy sigh. Of course I'd have to get lost in the middle of nowhere and have no fire jutsus....I hate eating cold food, she thought angrily, glaring at the ground, wishing it would burst into flames. To no avail she sighed, pulling out a kunai and cutting the top off of the can. Pulling out a bowl and chopsticks, she sighed, dumping the food into the bowl. Why'd I take beans? I hate beans...argh!. Stirring the food slightly, she gathered a few beans onto her chopsticks and held it to her mouth, about to eat it unwantingly when she heard a quiet whimper. Searching the bushes around her, she heard the whimper again, hearing a tone of pain. Placing her food down, she got onto her hands and knees and crawled to where the sound was coming from, peeking through the bushes. Her face fell when she saw a baby animal, caught in a snare and whimpering, licking its front paw, which was covered in some blood. She crawled through the bushes, startling the pup as it jumped to its feet and snarled defensively. Ignoring the growls, Kiri reached forward and pushed the trigger, opening the trap. The pup blinked and stared at the trap with a look saying it half-expected the trap and grab at its foot again. It then 'yipped' happily when it realized the trap was 'dead', limping away from it and towards Kiri, licking her face. Kiri giggled and held the pup close to her, nuzzling its cold, wet nose.
"You poor thing...you look hungry..." Kiri then smiled, getting up and walking back to her food. She sat back down, still holding the wounded pup as she picked up the bowl and held it to the pup. "Here, eat this." The pup looked up at Kiri with confusion, then yipped again, burying its snout into the bowl of beans, eating with glee. Kiri smiled again and and gazed at the small animal in her arms before she realized what it was. This...this thing is a fox!! But...it....it can't be related to the kyuubi....can it? Her eyes examined the fox kit in her arms for several moments, and she sighed, slowly placing her hand onto the kit's head and stroked its fur. The fox trembled gently, but continued to crave the emptiness of its stomach. Kiri continued to stroke the fox's orange-red fur, trying to decide if the kit was related to kyuubi. After long moments, she sighed. It doesn't have killer intents...but...maybe....maybe I can help this fox become stronger, help it become powerful, and maybe...it'll help me when I fight kyuubi. Yes...that's a perfect idea. She couldn't help but smile as the fox finished eating the beans, looking up at her and licking its lips happily. "You don't seem so bad. And you're cute, too. I'm going to name you Kitsune...Kit for short. Like it?" Almost in understanding, the fox jumped up and yipped, making Kiri smile. Remembering the hurt foot, Kiri reached over and grabbed her bag, pulling out the bandage again. Carefully taking the kit's paw into hand, she wrapped it gently, but tightly enough as to not fall off. She smiled after tying it and stroked the fox's fur again. "There you go. All better." Kitsune yipped in reply and nuzzled Kiri again, making her giggle. She smiled to herself, liking her thoughts of training the fox more and more when Kit jumped out of her lap and walked around slowly, trying to ignore its wound. Watching the fox silently, Kit began to limp less, putting more pressure on it foot with each step. Kit then looked at Kiri and yipped, stomping its two front paws onto to the ground to show that the wound was healing. Kiri reached over and stroked Kit in reward, trembling under the touch.
I think I'm going to like having Kit here as a companion...and hopefully, there's isn't a problem when kyuubi appears. Yawning quietly, Kiri noticed how late it was and pulled a blanket out of her backpack, wrapping it around her. Kit watched her with confusion as she laid down, her bag being her pillow. Lifting her arm slightly, she smiled at Kit. "Come here kit. Bedtime." Kit yipped and ran under the blanket, crawling up to her chin and nuzzling her. Kiri giggled and wrapped the blanket around herself and the fox, closing her eyes. This is only the beginning, Kyuubi. Just you wait...I'll get my revenge. Kit will be more than happy to help me. With those thoughts, Kiri drifted off to sleep, unknowing of the shadows lurking close by.
A/N - Hehe, cute, ne? Sometime soon, I'm going to try drawing pictures in relation of my chapters. Key word is try. Review if you want. Thanks for reading
