BOLD – Kyuubi speaking


Chapter 2 - Kyuubi's Origin

For many peaceful years, a ruthless exiled demon has remained dormant in the epicenter of earth. Karimystic gained reputation as the Realm Annihilator, has finally gained a lucky break, as his chance to overcome the realm with fear is inching closer to judgment.

Village elder had recorded that during the years known as the "Ancient times", the world was thrown into a vicious war, only to be concluded upon the abolishment of an evil creature called Karimystic. Utilizing all of the resource available to mankind at the moment, they were able to seal the demon inside a crystallized chamber, which was then buried deep into the center of earth. Through the passing of several years, erosion, planet plate movement, and years of volcanic eruption had forced the crystal chamber to arise to a deserted mountain.

All creatures require a source of fuel to convert to energy in order to accomplish any goals and task they are destined to accomplish. There are many kinds of source that many different creatures uses to live, some uses water, sun, food, and even some use air as a source of energy.

Creatures of evil feed off fear, ill will, and greed, where a sufficient amount is available due to the current state existing in the world. Karimystic while isolated in the crystallized chamber was able to draw enough power to resist the seal, a testament of how bad things have gone in the world.

The hard surface of crystal is slowly plagued with cracks, appearing throughout the chamber. Once a lifeless, dead and dull chamber is now rhythmically pulsating to the color of black and red, a clear-cut sign forecasting something bad is destined.

The sky is engulfed in dark gloomy gray clouds participating what looks like a ritual, where it swirled around the peak of the mountain. Sharp bright flashes of lightening illuminated the sky at random intervals, while the thunder destroyed any peace that existed. Swift cold rain poured out of the sky with hail being transported by the rain leaving the area in an unpleasant state of despair. In midst of the violent passion of the storm, the stench of decay is evident, for the world is about to witness the coming of an unspeakable evil.

Thunder was the perfect cover up, for the entire explosion being taken place within the mountain was being silenced by thunder, leaving the world naïve of what truly is happening inside.

As the cracks upon the crystallized chamber reached the bottom, stream of smoke can be seen hissing out from the cracks. Eventually the area in close vicinity of the chamber was engulfed in smoke, completely hiding what is truly happening to the crystallized chamber. The pulsating color, which alternated between red and black, began to be drawn towards the top of the chamber. The two colors get mixed together, producing a dark bloody ruby red, however the phenomena doesn't stay too long, as the top of the chamber is violent ripped open, sending various pieces of the chamber scattered around the area.

The creature's head is exposed to the air of this world, as the creature takes ample time to draw the scent into his systems. Filled with the desire to visualize the tempting environment, the creature forced its eyelid to open once again. As endless years had passed during his imprisonment, the creature's dark purple eyes, had taken a glimpse of the world he had just entered, the same world he will dominate.

The diabolical creature examined its wings at a slow place; by expanding and stretching the wings out, testing to confirm that no damage has been down to his wings. Various joints on his muscular body protested for moving once again as the creature stirred to remove the years of inactivity out of his body. Realized that his wings have been kept in good condition during his imprisonment in the chamber, the creature utilized his powerful hind legs to finally ascend from his solitude. Rested from inactivity, the creature used his razor sharp claws to make quick work of the remaining chamber, finally allowed to stand freely, already developed ideas on way to decimate the pitiful creature of the realm he is currently housing in.

Satisfied of destroying the chamber that had imprisoned him; the creature noticed an opening near the top of the mountain as he had glanced around his surrounding. Upon taking a crouched position, once again joints can be heard of cracks, as they are being used after time of inactivity. Utilized the strength of his hind legs unmatched by any other creature, Karimystic soared upwards as the creature's wings allowed him to gained momentum needed to reach the peak of the mountain. Having developed sufficient momentum, accompanied by the mass and power of the creature, Karimystic easily sliced through the opening, finally escaped from the chamber, the creature became the shadow of the night forever to hunt humanity.

Ever since the day Karimystic escaped from his prison, the world has been clouded in gloomy weather, almost being decreed by the heavens that human life will forever be in a struggle for their peace. Even the flowing rain accompanied by blooming thunder dampened the spirits of what supposed to be an auspicious day for a certain family. However this was just not your normal everyday family, for these creatures were created to be destroyers. Judging by their appearance, one can quickly gather information that these creatures are demons, processing enough destructive power to change an entire landscape.

Evolved from the canidae family, these demons are sly, cunning, and using impressive teamwork to become the victor against many adversaries. The pack was expecting a new addition to their rank, however their wish for a healthy and normal cub was something fate decided should not be fulfilled. Upon looking at the young cub, the pack was concerned when they noticed the club consisted of strange marks starting from the shoulder down finally ending near the paws. Yet the constant growing, cute yapping and the swinging of the paws into the air quickly assured the pack that the club is indeed normal. However the long dazed look into the sky being given by the club was missed by the elders, as the club apparently has a hidden talent to sense danger.

Yet the young fox being a young club does what every club process, the essence of innocence in the mind where nothing important comes to mind except where to find food and rest.

During the five years, many were baffled at the speed, which Kyuubi grew, for the fox's mind and physical attribute expanded more quickly then the rest of the clubs. Many of the elder present at Kyuubi's birth hoped the strange marking appearing on Kyuubi didn't foreshadow more destruction. For canidae demons have grew into powerful demons, while being lost in rage and lust for destruction. Nevertheless, Kyuubi gained physical mass, joined with his keen mind, was doing obstacles beyond his age that was deemed impossible to be accomplished. Of course his reputation grew in the pack, however that didn't always bring the good kind of attention; however Kyuubi taken ample time to observer how the adult figure acted, was able to act accordingly to prevent any mishaps peacefully.

For many years, the adult have always believed youngster do not have the skill require to accomplish any goal, thus underestimating them at several instances. While the youngster, confident in their abilities believed the adults are stubborn, thus making youngsters eager to prove themselves. The difference in the generation gap, between the adults and the youngster was evident when many underestimated the skill of Kyuubi. For Kyuubi is not your ordinary fox cub, for have an intellect beyond its age, Kyuubi sneaked into the many meetings the pack may conduct.

No matter how skilled Kyuubi may be becoming, he was still noticed by the more elite foxes, however seeing a cub so determined to find out how reality is, they decided to let Kyuubi stay. Unknown to Kyuubi, many believe that Kyuubi will eventually grow up, to become the leader of the pack, and hoped the current meeting will prepare anything Kyuubi will have to face in the future.

Many times Kyuubi would go to a secret spot, staying there in solitude only to reflect on what he had heard and discover what the correct true path to lead in life. Although Kyuubi had gained tremendous maturity, physical ability, and mental aptitude, all great power comes with a downfall; however Kyuubi greatest downfall leads to his temper. Having spent many moment of his time listening to the meetings, Kyuubi had built an ego believed he is far smarter and mature then most of the cubs. Although most cubs are immature, talking nonsense, Kyuubi had hanged around the adults too long, where non-sense is something he did not have a lot of patience. It not necessarily made Kyuubi arrogant, but made Kyuubi extremely narrow minded which only led to various brawls due to him not wanting to talk, but rather let his action speak words. With his physical abilities enhanced from birth, Kyuubi would come out of his brawls unharmed, yet he was not saved from given punishment by the leader of the pack, due to the fact Kyuubi knows better then to engage in pointless fighting.

The leader thought it was time Kyuubi realized the virtue of emotional control as well as patience. The leader developed a simple mission that will help Kyuubi practiced his control on his anger as well as learning the value of patience. Having completed the mission setup, Kyuubi's presence was asked before the leader, where Kyuubi was giving a mission to accomplish. Kyuubi was told the mission including him traveling though a forest, surviving various traps, creature that may be lurking, as well as retrieving a golden statue from a cave. Kyuubi asked why him only to given the reply that many other elite demons were on patrol to protect their home.

Kyuubi showed no emotion, for once given a task; nothing will stop him from completing his task. Kyuubi was so focused on his task, he never noticed the time passing by, as upon reaching the forest, it was clearly past sunset, making the forest look scarier during the night. The silent whisper of the winds dispersed through the dark forest, sufficient to make the bones inside Kyuubi tremble. Kyuubi's senses picked up the omnipresent feeling of dread being distributed throughout the forest, the feeling the forest will come alive, where any creature will be trapped with no escape in sight.

Kyuubi may have not realized, but the forest is often used by his pack to test the courage and strength of will of the many foxes being trained. For without a strong will and courage, then in battle failure is only path that will ensue. Mustering every ounce of his courage and will, Kyuubi leisurely strolled through the wood, although cautious to insure he will be ready for anything, or so he hoped.

Preparation, study, and working hard may lead you to the path of your goal, however fate will throw something in your path to twist you away from your path when you least expecting. Kyuubi had never been more surprised in his life when a beaten down, injured, bloody white fox flew out of the bushes, and sped right past him leaving a white blur. The strange event was sufficient to confuse the poor cub; however Kyuubi never had the time needed to react to boar that came crashing into Kyuubi like a tow truck. Kyuubi was prowled backwards before being sent into the air only to have his flight stopped by the old tree stumps leaving a battered Kyuubi to fall to the ground. Pain was an understatement, as literally all bones in Kyuubi vibrated violently, while Kyuubi strived to regain his footing on the ground. The distance, which Kyuubi was moved back, left slashing marks upon the ground, leaving a burning sensation under his paws. After the nauseating dizziness subsided inside the young cub's mind, Kyuubi scanned the area ravaged to make the creature feel the same pleasure he had gone through just moments ago.

"Nobody runs into me, sends me flying through the air, and to be stop by such a wonderful tree. Statue mission priority is low; the need to thank the creature for the wonderful experience is now a high priority. I'm sure the leader will understand, I have to uphold the pack code of repaying any hospitality showed to me, and I know just the way to thank him", as Kyuubi has a very sinister smile showed upon his face, the kind of smile that promised pain.

After removing various twigs and leave still residing in his fur, Kyuubi once again glanced at his surrounding. The forest is covered with many different kinds of tree, where some are old, and some of young. Several trees are seen rising to the sky, while some is seen crouching down, almost touching the ground. Experiencing the strength behind a strong tree stumps, Kyuubi realized there are small slender trees as well. Kyuubi also picked up a murky scent, a cross between something that is in decay and growing. What surprised Kyuubi was the numerous smaller creatures scurry around him, breaking the false assumption that during the night, the forest would be dead quiet. As Kyuubi observed the surrounding, he was able to pick the faint scent of the boar that had moved to the left.

Virtues of patience and controlling ones emotion was something that never appeared in the mind of Kyuubi, but instead focused upon the unlucky boar that had crashed into him which has no hint of the doom quickly approaching it.

Although the young white fox was desperately trying to escape, she could not help feel worried about the innocent fox she just sped past. The white fox contained hidden talents, however having been undeveloped, she could not maintain her talent long enough to out rut the creature after her. The snarling and growling of the boar was a sufficient motivation for the white fox to continue running as long as she can. The young white fox realized trying to steal food from a creature bigger than you was not necessarily a wise choice. The mistake will forever stay in the mind of the white female, especially if the creature running after her will insure she will not forget.

Yet various thought were racing through the mind of Anaish, the young white female fox on the run, however only one thought was present, the need to find a place to be safe. "I must run…but where do I go? There seems to be an opening there, maybe if I use my remaining chakra I can make it through that opening." As the sudden burst of chakra the little fox flew through the opening just a moment after the boar crashed through the bushes, only to have the opening broke open, as the boar suddenly followed the white fox. Even in her tired state, she was able to nimbly dodge away from the falling doom, landing a distance away from the boar. As Anaish struggled to stabilize herself upon shaky paws, the young fox can only look in horror at the great beast coming towards her. Fearing the worst, Anaish closed her eyes, waiting what will be the roaring judgment.

However the judgment never reached Anaish, for the boar was sent thought the air only to be stopped by a tree. When the young female opened her eyes, she was surprised to a red fox standing before, but was even more shocked when she realized it was the same fox she passed by earlier. At first Kyuubi was gratified he had is little revenge upon the boar, but narrowed his eyes once he heard the angry roar coming boar, exciting Kyuubi because he has been bored from all the walking.

"Oh I bet you didn't like that huh. Well what did you expect when you sent me flying though the sky only to stop by a nice wonderful ancient tree? Do you know how much of a mark that left me" as, Kyuubi's anger fuels his body to release tremendous charka as Kyuubi is engulfed in red charka. His magnificent nine tails, swirling behind him formed a natural defense that is capable to remove any danger that may come. The silted eyes of Kyuubi become more focus, forcing his eyes to glow bright red; even the young white fox is amazed at the amount of power being generated.

Having lost its food, the boar was not please of having the please of being acquainted with the tree as well as seeing another creature in front of it. Blinded in a ferial rage, the boar angle its head low, maximizing the chance of impaling its horn into Kyuubi, neighing as smoke slowed out of its nostril launches at the two foxes. Kyuubi looked at the coming creature with emotionless slit eyes, waiting whatever the creature will throw at him, as the little young Anaish trembles in fear.

With each stomp of the feet, the creature had moved closer towards Kyuubi, as the creature hoped to send the horns into the body of the red fox, and send it once again into the sky. The plan was about to be accomplished, however Kyuubi prevented the throw by quickly and forcefully stopped the attack when he used two of his paws to send the head straight into the ground. Although the creature had its head kissing the ground, the boar was able to use its natural strength to deal some kind of damage to the fox. Kyuubi had the air knocked out of him for the second time that day as the boar plowed his body back into the base of the tree.

With a roar consisted of inert rage; Kyuubi utilized all his strength as he twisted the head of the creature clockwise. Having a head twisted beyond its capacity resulted in a sickening crack, followed by gurgling sound as the creature is drowned in its own blood. Being satisfied he had dismissed what appeared to be his present challenges, Kyuubi finally glanced behind him to notice the terrified young white fox.

Kyuubi tired to put a warm fox smile where he hoped that it would calm down the fox; however he realized that wasn't working, so he tired the next best thing he could think of.

"Hi! I really didn't see you there, well you see I was pissed that someone sent me into a tree, so I wanted some payback, I am truly sorry you had to see that gruesome battle. Anyway my name is Kyuubi and I will not cause you any harm"

Seeing the young white fox still speechless, Kyuubi decided to walk towards her and hoped he could get her out of her current state of daze. As Kyuubi walked towards the fox, his vision suddenly turned completed red, making him completely blinded. While in his blinded state, his whole body shook in the most excruciating pain, forcing Kyuubi to drop to ground, and appeared to be dead.

The only thoughts racing through Kyuubi was, "No, not know, oh please not now" as his mind shut down, sending him to the state of darkness. It has been said that with all great power, there will be a great weakness, for without balance, life will cease to exist. For Kyuubi's case, his body has grown at such a pace his body shuts down one day a month, to allow sufficient rest in order to make sure no damage can be accomplish. Forcing to body to grow at a quick pace, it will leave area weak if not given the sufficient time to handle the tremendous power. Therefore in order to handle the power being developed, Kyuubi's body engaged a mode similar to hibernation. During the time, the body automatically focuses all the charka into the physical attribute to handle the tremendous strain from the power. This burst of charka infusion cause pain at a high level forcing Kyuubi to lost consciousness. AS the body is building, the seal upon the shoulder is glowing bright red, forcing Kyuubi's eyes that were normally red to turn back, while causing blood to be force to his eyes to increase growth of his eyesight. A significant amount of blood is sent to his eyes that even some escape out of the eyes.

For a whole day, Kyuubi's world consisted of darkness, just endless darkness, accompanied by a pain resonating throughout his whole body. In the state of darkness, Kyuubi noticed there was a white glow coming before him. Having nothing else to do, as well as being curious, Kyuubi inched closer to the white glow. Once Kyuubi was close to glow where he could almost place his paw upon it, he was surprised when the glow moved out of his reached. While observing the weird floating glow, which Kyuubi assumes is his imagination in his own mind, was not expecting the glow come crashing into him. Kyuubi realized he had felt something smack across his face, quickly bringing him out his dazed state. As Kyuubi slowly opened his eyes, he noticed a particular white fox looking upon me, give her a very questioning look.

Anaish noticed the weird questioning look upon did the best thing possible for any female to hide their embarrassment, give Kyuubi another smack across the face in order influence who is in control.

"What, were you hoping I would so glad for saving, you could have come faster to save me, but no you wanted to make an impression. Plus do you know that your drooling was disgusted" as the young female continue to rant one all the qualities she could think of. Although the fox was surprised by the replay including the rude awakening, Kyuubi realized upon closer inspection that the fox was indeed very cute. However Kyuubi knew that his body had shut down earlier leaving him completely vulnerable, and realized the female had taken care of him, gave Kyuubi an impression that the fox carried a big heart.

"Thank you" quickly stopped the female in her rant as she once again looked at Kyuubi.

"Well looks like I out stayed my welcome, thank you for taking care of me. But I have some work that needs to be finished, so I will be leaving, do be careful and try not to steal from things bigger than you" as Kyuubi regained his footing on all his four paws, and began walking away.

Although the female fox gave the impression of someone who is annoying, arrogant and superior, Anaish could not help feel so safe in the company of the male fox. Hiding her insecurity, fears and apprehension, she wished that her outburst did not made the male hate her, not liked she cared anyway. Oh so she thought, as she quickly scampered in front of Kyuubi halting his progress.

"Wait…um I am sorry about my attitude, you see I have been alone all my life, so I am not sure how I should act to someone who just save me. And you just dropped dead after you defeated that creature, and I was so sacred you may have actually died. Then you started drooling, and even tried to grab me, so I thought you were trying to do something to. That is why I hit you and hoped you might wake up or you would stop what you were doing. I hope you accept my apology," as the white female fox gracefully bowed down before Kyuubi.

"Wow, damn girl, I never had seen anybody never mind a female talk so fast in one single breath. Well if it make you feel better, I accept your apology, however heed to my warning, be careful and do not try to steal from things bigger than you" as Kyuubi began to walk around the young cub, only to stop once again as Anaish appeared before him again.

"Um, Kyuubi-sama do you think I can come along with you. I mean I may be a little fox, but I have special abilities that might be helpful for you." as the young female initiates the famous puppy eye look, well technically it should be called the fox eye look.

"Well to tell you the truth I don't mind the company, in fact I have to accomplish this small mission from my leader, you are welcomed to tag along, but I do not know you name, and also it might get dangerous" as Kyuubi looked over the female, trying to judge her strength. Kyuubi noticed she had golden bracelet upon her two front paws, as well as the most pure white eyes he had seen. He also noticed the young fox had two tails, with golden tip, making Kyuubi agreed that she indeed looked very cute.

"Oh how rude of me, I go by the name of Anaish," as the young female white fox once again gracefully bowed down before Kyuubi trying to appear formal as she could.

"Well it a pleasure to me you Anaish, well I guess we should continue walking", as Kyuubi began to walk ahead, taking notice of his surrounding. The trees, bushes and various plants leave no clear area, almost giving the sense of being easily lost. However to the amazement of Kyuubi, he noticed a small walkway which he assumed will lead to the cave, and was quickly assured of his assumption when he noticed fox prints on the trail.

"Kyuubi" as Anaish let the name run off her tongue, forcing Kyuubi to stop and glance back wandering what the white fox may need. Anaish feeling a hot gaze upon her glanced upward to look directly into Kyuubi ruby eyes, as she suddenly turned away to hide her embarrassment.

"Yes, may I help you?" as Kyuubi tried to decipher what his white companion may want forcing the female fox to silently yell for speaking too loud.

With a sly smile, Anaish innocently replied in a cute voice, "oh nothing, you must be hearing something Kyuubi-sama"

With a warm smile Kyuubi state, "please just Kyuubi is fine, we are friend, no need for formality" as Anaish returns with a smile of her own. Thus the friendship between Kyuubi and Anaish is born, as fate as more important trial in store for the two young foxes.

As the two companions walked through the forest using the walkway that was created, both have difficulty on starting a conversation. Yet it was Anaish who decided to finally break the silence, by asking question about Kyuubi's childhood, as she has been alone all her life. However she particularly found the size of Kyuubi interesting, for it seem that Kyuubi looked much younger than he actually is. Anaish hoped she isn't too intrusive when she asked question of his childhood.

"Kyuubi I was wandering, you really don't really seem like a regular normal fox, in fact you seem like a kid, but you have an adult physical attribute", which was then followed by a silent thought, "Not that I have any complaint"

"Well yes I may be bigger then my peers, but I am still a child underneath Anaish. I always believe its not the always the appearance that count, but what underneath"

As Kyuubi began to walk away leaving a confused and dazed companion behind, yet after contemplating the thoughts, she began to follow the male fox feeling the male seemed mature, maybe a little weird but mature.

The two companions continued their slow crawl through the dense forest. As the young white female just escaped the jaw of death, it was normal for Anaish to be cautious as well as jumpy. In fact at the slightest noise, ranging from the hooting of the owl to rustling of the leave was enough to send the young fox in full alert. Although Kyuubi was amused of the antic given by his companion, he was getting agitated when Anaish would jump at single instance of any noise.

"Hey Anaish" causing the fox jump from the voice, but Kyuubi still continued, "you can stop worry, nothing will come out like, beside we are walking together, I doubt anybody try to do something on two foxes"

"He he…I guess you are right," as the white fox tried desperately to hide her embarrassment.

Kyuubi was surprised when the clearing of the cave appeared before and at the moment was glad of his companion's antic as it was a good source of distraction. Determined to finish his mission, he continued to walk into the dark cave, followed closely by Anaish. Inside the cave, the two foxes noticed many stumps of wood lined up in some random way which was holding the ceiling up. Upon inspection, Kyuubi place one of his paws upon a single piece, which suddenly moved slighting, causing small pieces of boulder to fall down quickly enough to cause serious damage to anyone unlucky to be under there. Kyuubi then realized the importance of this mission, for the leader was serious when he wanted Kyuubi to realize the virtue of patience.

"So Kyuubi what exactly do we have to do here," as both companions continue to look around their surrounding. During their search, they noticed an object gleaming in the sunlight, where Kyuubi decided that is where the statue must be. In fact, Kyuubi realized that these tree stumps were organized in such way, like puzzle as a safe to guard the statue. While through his searching, Kyuubi glanced at the flowed and was shocked to see different imprints on the stone. Anaish followed Kyuubi's eyes, and noticed the imprint as well, except they were just not imprint but drawing of various animals.

"According to these drawings it looks like there is a combination to allow safe passage" as Kyuubi contemplated how he would proceed to solve this puzzle.

"What do you mean Kyuubi?" as the confused young female.

"Well if you look at these imprints, you will notice that some drawings are different. For example here is boar, while over hear is tiger, and over there is fox." As Kyuubi direct Anaish by pointing at the closest imprint near them.

"Since we ourselves are foxes, and my whole clans are foxes, I assume that following the imprint of the fox will allow us to get thorough this puzzle and retrieve the statue"

"However if I am wrong, I have to quickly get out of this trap whole before I get crush forcing me to be patience and carefully make sure I pick the right imprint. Some mission, I must have been a saint in my previous life for all the things I am going through right now"

Kyuubi then turned behind him to find his white companion to be snickering behind her paws.

"What?" was the cute reply given from the young white fox followed by more giggles which she was not able to hide.

"Sigh…nothing, just help find a way to get through this puzzle and then I can finally grab the stupid statue" as Kyuubi once again glanced at the stumps, glaring with all the fury he could have develop, where he hoped the stumps would magically disappear.

Having heard the prior comment made from Kyuubi, accompanied seeing Kyuubi glaring at the stumps furiously with all the hatred he could muster, Anaish could not hold it in any longer. The white fox fall onto the ground rolling in laughter, only to be given a similar glare by Kyuubi.

After several minutes of laughing so hard, Anaish was finally able to calm herself down.

"Oh will you stop your glaring, it doesn't affect me, and I doubt the stumps could care," as Kyuubi with a tired expiration aborts his glaring, and glanced at Anaish wandering what she is up to.

Anaish had taken a more detail inspection of the puzzle, developing a sense of the various angles as well as the spacing. Upon completing of her inspection, she realized who ever design this trap was indeed a genius, for one wrong move will cause the boulder to come down crashing. While finding the right stumps to move will add stability to the ceiling, preventing the boulder from coming down as well as giving ample time to retrieve the statue.

"Okay Kyuubi, I need you to move one of the stumps so it can stabilize most of the stumps near use, and leave the rest to me"

For Kyuubi to see a white fox, suddenly transform before him, was quite a sight. For her twin white tails suddenly turned blue, as well as having the most beautiful blue eyes compared to silver white eyes before. However the event that transpired forever changed the way Kyuubi will look at young female for the rest of his life.

With lighting quick reflex, the white fox was literally flying through the puzzle, where Kyuubi only saw a white blur. Even with his enhanced vision, Kyuubi could not trace the female fox moving in the puzzle. The only thing he noticed would be the slightest pleasure upon the stumps, before it returned to its original state. Having a slender build only capable by a female gender, Anaish was able to nimbly squeeze through the small openings. Having a lightweight build, the young fox was barely putting any force on the stumps, allowing her to dance her way through. In a short amount of time, Anaish reached the area which hold the desired statue, and return in the same manner after grabbing it from its hoister.

Kyuubi stood there bewildered, has his sense of speech did not manage, however the only thing that escaped his mouth was, "Wow", which cause the young female once again to be embarrassed, causing her to look elsewhere while turning her white cheeks red.

"Anaish why didn't you use this ability when you were trying to run away from the boar, I am sure you could have escaped"

"Well you see, I did use my ability, in fact that how I was able to steel the food. I was surprised when the creature was able to follow by following the scent of the food. With my build, I can only do quick burst of my ability. I was already exhausted where I could have fallen asleep right then, but seeing that thing running after me was the only motivation I needed to keep on running," as young female has tough time standing, having a similar case of exhaustion.

"Fair enough, oh I bet the leader will be thrilled about this, too bad I am sure he was really hoping I would learn the virtue of patience. However it like trying to teach a brick a new trick, oh well lets go back to my pack, I will introduce you," as both Kyuubi and Anaish headed back to the pack. However some things are not what they seem, as fate will constantly throw various obstacles in the way.

A certain creature is found to be standing near his throne, looking at the various landscapes before him. Like all creature on their quest for destruction and total domination, this creature was busy making plans of removing any future threat that may arise. Having realized it is time for one of his apprentice to fulfill one of his missions, he had called for snake-sennin, Orochimaru.

"You called my lord" as a figure approached the throne, where the magnificent Karimystic resided. The hooded figure, covered in a dull brown coat was enough to hide most of his features, except his piercing yellow eyes.

"It is said in order to defeat a snake, you must strike when it is still just growing in an egg," which caused much irritation to the hooded figure mostly due to the reference of the snake

"An excellent observation my lord, I presume you have a task in need of to be accomplished?" as Orochimaru kneeled before his lord, showing utmost respect, servitude and loyalty.

Without a single glance to his servant behind him, lord of destruction continued on speaking, "Not a task, more of a preventative assassination, to ensure we will not face any other interruption in my conquest for world domination"

An evil sinister smirk appeared upon the face of Karimystic, which gave him the appearance he was completely insane, who relished in blood and slaughter.

"Yet, I believe you will need to know these NinJutsus, so follow me to the training chamber" as the Lord of Destruction headed to the chamber to teach the apprentice which hungrily followed behind. Karimystic have been through many realms, taken many lives, as well destroyed many landscape.

While Karimystic had Orochimaru trained to use the particular ninjutsu, Kyuubi and Anaish found a nasty surprised at the entrance to his home.

"What do you mean I can come in, I have a mission to report to eh leader, and my companion is the sole reason I was able to accomplish my mission", came the loud response from Kyuubi, as undeniable rage began to dwell within him

"I see that Kyuubi, but you failed to realize that her kind is not allowed, do you know you are upsetting your ancestor as we speak, do you know what they went though due to her kind, do you wandered why her fur is completely white?", as Anaish once again went into her lonely, weaken cautious mode, feeling she was indeed inferior under the gaze of the guard. Kyuubi was further infuriated when he noticed tears developing in the eyes of Anaish.

"I don't give a crap about what happen in the past, all I know was that she was alone, helped in completing my mission, and been good natured fox as far as I can see I found no ill will coming from", as Kyuubi stomps the ground with one of his paw out of frustration causing a small crater to be created. Nevertheless even the display of hostility towards him, the guard remain calm, composed, and regretted what he was about to say.

"Kyuubi it is good you can see that, but you are going against tradition, this will not please your ancestor Kyuubi, however if you still persist, then you must make a choice. Come into the village, without the white female creature next to you, or leave this place, with your friend. I am sorry it came to this, but there is no choice", almost causing a small whimper to escape from Anaish after she realized she is the caused that Kyuubi may not have a home any longer.

"So that means I don't even get an audience with the leader about this?" asked a confused Kyuubi.

"I am sorry, it was the leader himself who decree that law as well as tradition will be enforced. Failure on his part will result in the stripping of his rank, and I am sure you don't want that to happen", as the two companion consider the shocking revelation that behold before them.

With one last growl, Kyuubi move close into the face of the fox, snarling as he spit back what he thought about it, "Fine, all of you have always been little arrogant shit heads anyways, I can believe I was born in the same species as you guys. Come-on Anaish we aren't staying here", causing Anaish to do a double take, for here is someone whom she had met scarified everything he had in order to stay with her. Of course she was confused at to why he would want to, but what mattered most was that Kyuubi was sticking up for her. To her that meant everything, for at that moment she vowed she will repay any way she can for the kindness Kyuubi showed.

"Kyuubi you don't have to do this for me, this is your home you are talking about, you should not throw it all away on me", a downcast Anaish responded but carried hope that Kyuubi would not change his mind, and still come with her, for she hated to be alone once again.

"Anaish, once I make a decision, I don't change it, however I am very sure I am making the correct choice here, so do not worry, let get going, I am getting tired of looking at my old home" as both companion walk away, for fate was with them as Kyuubi will forever be the lone survivor of his pack.

Days after Kyuubi and Anaish had left; Orochimaru appeared upon his corrupted immoral red dragon to accomplish his massive genocide of the pack. Utilizing the new skill he had acquired, and the massive dragon beneath him. Orochimaru developed a massive Katon Karyuu Endan, before unleashing the bomb upon the pack, wiping away any existence of the pack. Orochimaru was felt enjoyment on performing his first elite technique, but was short lived, when his scout got scent of Kyuubi leaving a trail into a river. Orochimaru realized it would take years or week to find them, for the river will effectively disguise any tracks and scent. Orochimaru went from the joy of accomplishment to dread in fear of telling his lord of the new incident

"What do you mean you can't find them, I give you a simple mission to rid of some pest, and you can't even do that. I take you into my command, teach you a powerful techqniue, and when I ask you some loyalty to accomplish a simple task, you come back as a failure," as charka began to engulf the lord, for he is unable to keep his fury within him. In order to release his tension he smacked an attendant next to him, who was just repairing parts of the cave that had small cracks. The attendant was seen flying though the cave leaving a lasting imprint on what he went, causing Orochimaru once again to tremble in fair, praying to all gods he does not get decimated at that moment.

"Go find them, I don't care how or how long it take, do not step back into my palace until you have rid of them do I make myself clear!", as his yelling was sufficient to make Orochimaru's skin crawl off and find a place to be hidden.

"Yes my lord" as Orochimaru received a scroll which he was told to open once he found them, returned to his spot upon his dragon, never to be seen again for three years.

For 3 yeas, Kyuubi and Anaish have been moving, each feeling uncomfortable staying in one place where they felt someone was behind there tracks. Perhaps that has been one reason why the two foxes have survived so far as well as becoming great friends. Kyuubi has grown to a powerful young adult, occupied with tremendous power enough to knock a whole mountain down. Throughout the three years, Kyuubi as experience a surge in his height, as he grew tremendously. Nevertheless all great power comes at a cost, for Kyuubi still experience the one day in the month where he is extremely weak, especially since the pain had increased. Kyuubi would be rocking back and worth against the unbearable pain only to let out excruciating howl into the night.

Nevertheless his faithful companion never left his side, always being there to support and ease his pain. During these year the bond between the two companions was strengthen. For these two friends were able to help each other and ease the sadness the ache in their heart. Kyuubi had found it difficult staying from the stunning white female fox. Kyuubi felt he could tell her everything for she was able to understand much even though she had a sharp tongue. Anaish also noticed the change in Kyuubi, forcing her to realize she could not be where she is now without him. In face she had become dependant on Kyuubi's presence and needed his friendship more than anything. Each thought they had feeling where they cared about each other in sibling ways, however with each passing months, they realized it was more. However both were stubborn not tell how they truly feel for they wished not to ruin their great friendship, but always hoped it could be more.

"Kyuubi do you ever wander what happened to your village?"

The silence was broken by the heavenly voice from his companion, which always gave pleasant vibe inside Kyuubi. Yet recalling the question poised by Anaish, Kyuubi often wandered, but remembered the way Anaish was treated, causing Kyuubi to forget completely about them. Although it was difficult, the smiling face of the Anaish always made him forget about other things.

"I never know Anaish, I do not care to go back, I will not follow their stupid narrow-minded tradition, beside you are with me, what more can I ask for" as Kyuubi continued talking without even noticing how his words are affecting her.

"Of all of the time we have been together, I know nothing of your past Anaish," causing Anaish to stop her walking, only to find the ground very interesting. Yet Anaish brought her head upwards, looking directly into Kyuubi's eyes, with tears of happiness flowing down.

"What can I say Kyuubi, I don't really know, the only thing I can remember is being surrounded in a white glow with no touch at reality around me. However the one thing I can remember are these horrible red eyes, and the scariest part the flame being directed towards me, yet never reaching me really. To me in life if you hold something dear, it will only be snatched away from me, so I never tried to attach myself to anything. However that all changed once I met you, in fact you are truly my first friend in my lonely life."

"I know Anaish, you are an indeed a special fox, just wished I could do something to heal those wounds of your past. I just wish I will have the ability to make sure you never feel alone"

Giving Kyuubi no time to react, Anaish moves forward and starts to nuzzle his face. All Kyuubi could do was return the affection with his own, for he could not hold back the feeling he had for his female partner.

Under the moon the two companions stared into each other's eyes for they felt for the first time that they have finally connected with each other.

The two companions felt they have found their desired mate, for they believed they could never be separated away from each other. Kyuubi and Anaish spent ample time nuzzling each other and talking for hours about each other's dream while hating the idea of leaving each other's company.

"Anaish I know this may sound stupid, but I care too much about you, and if you are in my future, I have no idea what I do," as Kyuubi tried to sound carrying, sincere, while not sounding like a love-sick baby.

"Kyuubi, I promised you I would never leave you. You are my life, my reason to exist, without you I don't know if I could barely go through life without you. Kyuubi, my heart is forever yours", as Anaish hoped she would not be taken away from Kyuubi.

The couple spent their time together, walking through the forest as they chatted endlessly about life. While in close vicinity of each other they always believed everything will be perfect and nothing bad can happen. However fate is not without irony, for various obstacles will be thrown in their way. As Kyuubi and Anaish were too focused into each other, the two foxes failed to notice the gloomy dark cloud approaching from the horizon. The clouds processed a distinct symbol that evil will make its appearance known, and the two companions will be forced to fight for their destiny.

Usually when things in life are good for a long period of time, evil is known to show its ugly head. Kyuubi and Anaish can't seem to spend any time away from each other. To them they feel everything is perfect and nothing can possibly go wrong. Oblivious to the fact that reality had other ideas and will make its presence felt.

As the two fox are zipping through the forest, they failed to notice the dark clouds that appeared in the horizon. The only thing that is important to the two foxes is the company of each other.

However at the moment, Kyuubi is panting from the running he went through for his training Anaish had setup up.

"I…" Kyuubi taken a breath while falling back down to the ground, "never thought I would feel like this toward," as he struggled to get his breath back, "anyone like you, Anaish, damn I need more exercise"

Anaish is now laughing at Kyuubi who is struggling to breathe.

"I hope you always feel that way Kyuubi and yeah you do need exercise ", as Anaish smirked at the exhausted Kyuubi on the ground.

Kyuubi looked upon at Anaish, a challenging twinkle as got back upon his paws. "Is that so Anaish well we just have to see now, we will find who really needs exercise" as Kyuubi ran after Anaish in their childish game. Even though Kyuubi had high endurance, previous training had left him exhausted therefore Anaish was still able to outrun Kyuubi leaving the male fox panting for air once again.

"Finally I found them, all this time my search is at end. I will get them this time," as snake-like figure approached the area where Kyuubi and Anaish previously stayed.

In the silent, the only sound that resounded was, "Katon Karyuu Endan" followed by an inferno dragon fly crashing into the ground causing the flaring explosion.

The two fox companion heard the ear-cracking noise from behind, forcing them to cautiously glance around their surrounding. Dumbfounded both Kyuubi and Anaish could not discover where the noise came from; however felt the ground shake violently. The massive earthquake, followed by thundering explosion, which sent parts of the landscape into the dark sky, destroyed the ground. Giant trees came crashing down around the two bewildered foxes however were skilled enough to desperately escape the area in an attempt to save their life.

Various smaller trees started to be blasted into the sky like mini rockets. Major cracks were being erupted throughout the ground. Upon getting a view high into the sky, the ground was infested with cracks like a virus spreading in the body, slowly devouring the land. Giant rocks and boulder were sent into air to have lava filled the area that was vacated.

Anaish was desperate as she tried to get away from the various forms of destruction as she utilized her natural special abilities. However Anaish still did not process the required endurance needed to maintain her ability therefore in her attempt to escape she failed to notice the massive tree rolling down the hill towards her.

Lacking the sufficient time required to react to the rolling tree, Anaish was knocked to her side, before having the tree roll heavily upon her front leg and paws.

Before Anaish could even react to the rolling tree, she is knock sideway has the tree rolls upon and break her paws and leg. Having the wind knock out her, Anaish could barely could move or cry out in pain.

"Help… me…Kyuubi!" as Anaish hoped Kyuubi could have heard her cry for help.

Of course Kyuubi heard it, but the various destruction of forest prevented him from reaching Anaish. A frustrated Kyuubi dashed left and right, as he easily dodged the lethal debris. He reached where Anaish was trapped and saw Anaish lying there helplessly.

Kyuubi came around the broken tree to find Anaish was trapped and he struggled to lift the heavy tree away. His immense strength could not budge the tree but only caused more discomfort for Anaish who cried out in agony.

Kyuubi saw Anaish in an unpleasant condition, however the scene before him triggered a source of power buried deep inside his soul. The intricate tattoo that was placed upon his shoulder glowed to a fiery red, but that was forgotten as Kyuubi still can't believed that he is next to her and yet still not able to help her. Anaish, who is the most precious creature to Kyuubi he had met, wanted to desperately protect her in any way possible,

"I must protect her. I must not let anything bad happen to her. I must do something."

As Kyuubi mind began to panic while he tried to figure out a way to save her, but no possible solution came to his mind.

"I must figure out something!" yelled Kyuubi as all the pent up frustration and rage began to unravel inside him.

From the beginning Kyuubi was too consumed in his rage to no notice the immense power being generated within him. All he could think of at that moment was how his precious creature is suffering. Drawing all his feelings, desire, hope and rage, Kyuubi unlocked the dormant power that has been living in him. Kyuubi felt the presence of this power, the feeling of a tsunami wave being released. As the power of the enraged Kyuubi erupted, a shell of flames engulfed around him.

Everything at that moment slowed to a crawl for Kyuubi. Kyuubi felt like the whole world was momentary frozen before him. He could clearly see the gigantic boulders falling from the sky towards them. Kyuubi could sense the various tree chunks and piece heading toward them. Kyuubi at that moment look at his new raw power emitting out of his paw and feels the enormous power cursing though his body.

Having entered in his enraged state, Kyuubi tapped into all of his power, resulting in a monumental power increase and causing significant changes to his appearance. Bright red aura now surrounded Kyuubi's body, giving the impression that he was engulfed in fire. Flames could be seen erupting out of his eyes. His dark mane and hair was now turned to a bright yellow color. Even his nine-tails changed into a golden yellow color with flames dancing at the tip. To the naked eye Kyuubi can be seen as giant yellow fireball moving around.

Kyuubi came close to Anaish's head before calming saying, "Don't worry Anaish; I will not let anything happen to you. I promise"

Before Anaish could comprehend what Kyuubi may have spoken, he vanished from the spot.

The only thing Anaish could get a glimpse through her eyes was the quick reflex of Kyuubi knowing exactly where everything would be, almost like he could predict. As Kyuubi moved like a red blur, Anaish heard explosions around her as she noticed various tree daggers, giant splinters and other debris vanished. Anaish was surprised when she saw a sudden movement of a red blur launching into the sky heading for what appeared to be meteor size boulders.

Kyuubi ran up the shattered trees as he launched straight into the many gigantic boulders falling down. Kyuubi readied himself focusing his eye upon his target ready to demolish anything that would bring any type of harm to his Anaish.

"I will protect you Anaish!" as Kyuubi screamed with an infuriated roar while he launched himself once aging into the air to destroy the boulders.

Having increased power and what seemed to be able to freeze time momentarily, Kyuubi would land on one boulder, pound his paws into the boulder, sending enough chakra to obliterate the boulder to bits, and then jump onto the next boulder. Once he had annihilated most of them, Kyuubi launched himself the remaining gigantic boulder. Kyuubi used his nine tails as a propeller like a helicopter, and was able to propel himself towards the boulders while he gained momentum.

Having reached sonic speed Kyuubi did not realized he has trail of vacuumed air following closely behind him, as well as breaking the sound barrier. Once Kyuubi reached beneath the boulders, he twirled and twisted by utilizing his tail allowing him to create a twin tornado to destroy the remaining giant boulder. The various pieces of the once massive boulders were decimated as the sonic boom, and the trail of vacuumed air finally reached where Kyuubi was standing.

Anaish's eyes could not identify where Kyuubi was moving, as he dismantled all the boulders. Anaish was surprised she could not follow, when she was built for speed, in short sprint, but for speed. However it appeared to Anaish that Kyuubi was vanishing from one spot and then quickly appearing to another spot instantly. Anaish was shocked, amazed and in awe of the power showcased by Kyuubi forcing her to lock in admiration when Kyuubi had landed beside her.

Anaish flinched once she noticed Kyuubi's eye. No longer were they the crimson red, but flames have erupted out of his eyes. Kyuubi's mane was no longer dark red but consisted of golden bright yellow leaving streaks of red through his mane. Even his tail had turned to a yellow color accompanied with flames dancing at the tips.

"Kyuubi what…what are you?" exclaimed Anaish as she could still not believe her mate had single handling destroy all the debris in their area.

"Anaish do not worry, I will not let anything happen. Close your eyes and relax", as Kyuubi hope he could calm her down so he could remove the tree that had trapped her.

Surprised by the calm and stern command, all Anaish could do at that moment was obey the command. Before she knew it Kyuubi at heaved the tree that had rolled over her leg away and quickly began to look at her broken paw and leg. Kyuubi had closed his eyes before brining his paws over her leg, which didn't go unnoticed by Anaish, was the charka leaving his paws and healing her leg.

"Anaish you can open your eyes now, no more harm will happen to you while I am around," as Anaish tried to get up to examine her leg but noticed she felt no pain. Relief began to dwell into her before she glanced at Kyuubi with tears forming in her eyes.

"Kyuubi…I was very scared Kyuubi", came the tearing response from Anaish before her legs gave away as she fall down onto the ground. Kyuubi approached Anaish with sadden eyes knowing he had terrified his companion but lay down beside her.

"I know Anaish, I am sorry if I have scared you but I never knew that kind of power existed inside of me," for Kyuubi would have walked away but was too exhausted to even breathe at the moment.

"That is not what made me scared; I was scared I would lose you," surprised Kyuubi before he was concerned about Anaish when she began to shiver.

"Oh Anaish I won't leave you like that. Come on we have to get out this place," as the tired Kyuubi wanted to leave this danger zone, and fine a much safer spot to rest.

"Kyuubi what happened to you? You seem like a completely different creature. You move so fast that all I could only see was a red blur and you smashed those boulders apart like they were little pebbles. It was a little nerve whacking, but now I realized you are very powerful"

"Umm thanks Anaish, but I wasn't sure either. It just happened the minute I saw u were danger. I felt like I couldn't do anything to help you and this rage inside of me just erupted. I think I will call it the Kyuubi Crimson Rage, heh I don't know Anaish I just hope I can figure out where that power came from"

Kyuubi gave a warm smile to Anaish where he hoped it will get rid of her fears and get her to smile once again.

"I have to find the source of that power, and that is the only way I can protect my precious Anaish by becoming stronger!" as Kyuubi set on goal in his life in order to make himself stronger.

Kyuubi may have tap into his dormant power to reach incredible levels, but it has taken a serious toll on his body. Before losing consciousness, he told Anaish to leave him here and leave this place. Of course Anaish refused to listen, instead pulls Kyuubi onto her back and leaps out of the forest quite used to taking care of Kyuubi especially during the days he goes into horrible seizure once a month..

"Kyuubi it is my turn to protect you. You need rest, so rest and I will take care of anything," as the determined Anaish moved alone not even realizing Kyuubi had fallen asleep.

While the two fox scampered away from the area of disaster, the whole area once again erupted in flames. Suddenly those flames die away leaving a dull dense smoke. Out of the smoke a dragon appeared, with figure standing on its back. The mysterious human with pale white skin, black long hair, the most evil yellow eyes, and with an unusual tongue slithering in and out similar to the same way a snake does, looked at the two fox disappearing. Although he had failed to destroy them as they escaped he was pleased to find them incredibly powerful.

"Impressive! The power, the rage, the fear, oh that was unbelievable. If I were to have that kind of power to control, nobody would dare go against me. I have my eyes set on you red nine-tailed demon. I will make you mine and then I can become more powerful than anybody including you my lord. With a demon and dragon under my control, I too can complete my conquest for world domination!"

The dragon used its magnificent wing to take flight and vanished from area, as the forest began to crumble away from all the destruction but not before making Orochimaru realized he must capture his prize trophy, Kyuubi.

The two companions had barely survived their near-death experience; Anaish had been tiredly looking for a safe spot for Kyuubi to rest. After her determined search she found a save spot located near to an isolated oasis. Anaish gently put down Kyuubi and began to examine his wounds but soon realized his wounds were not critical yet could lead to future complication if not taken care of immediately.

In the process of patching the wounds of Kyuubi a pack of hungry wolves appear. The giant wild wolves have caught the scent of Kyuubi's blood and have followed the scent to lead them to where the two foxes are currently staying. Upon the sight of the pool of blood, their blood thirst compelled them to head towards Kyuubi; however Anaish appeared before them, putting herself between Kyuubi and the wolves.

"Come on, I dare you to come," snarled Anaish as she glared at the wolves.

Many of the wolves moved aside, making way for the leader. The leader is amused by the young fox's determination. "I see, so you think you actually have chance against me, well this would have been fun for I could have two meals, but I don't want any other creature getting the scent of that blood. Therefore I will finish this quickly and enjoy my meal." The leader began to slowly stroll near Kyuubi but was confused upon seeing a small smirk appearing upon the face of Anaish. "Is that so, well we will see who is really playing, well come on show me what you got!" as the leader is infuriated by the taunt given by the young female fox, no suspecting she is stronger than she appears.

The comment made the leader to launch towards Anaish, where it brought its deadly claws close to Anaish face and neck. However, Anaish lowered her whole body, and using her powerful hind legs she dodged the attack, while heading upward. Having evaded the attack, Anaish did a backward somersault in the air and used her twin tails to smack straight into the head of the leader. The wolf was sent though the air, doing a complete 360 and then landing on the ground. Anaish did not give the wolf a chance to recover as she was already glued onto the wolf's back. Anaish placed her razor sharp claws deep into the face of the completely paralyzed wolf. Anaish seized hold of the top jaw of the wolf, and pulled upward with all her might, as the head of the wolf was snapped easily with a sickening crack. Anaish then placed her attention towards the remaining wolves, which are trembling in fear, in seeing their leader so easily killed.

"Anybody else wants to try. Well do you?" Before she could get an answer, the remaining wolves escaped the area as quickly as they could.

"Don't worry Kyuubi; I will not let anything happen to you," as Anaish continue to tend to the wound that appeared upon Kyuubi, especially the tattoo his shoulder. For Anaish jumped back in shock when she almost burned her hand from the tattoo being so hot before she placed a cold water to cool it down.

While Anaish was cleaning up the blood from the wounds, by placing leaves and mud to cover the wound. She noticed a chill in the air and felt the presence of someone or something. When she turned around she was surprised to find a giant woman before her looking at her. The woman had a white mist revolving around her body making her appear like a ghost. The woman had the most paled white skin Anaish had every seen, with golden blond hair flowing loosely in the air. What surprised Anaish even more was the harmonic soft, calm and peaceful voice the woman emitted. Nevertheless, Anaish engaged into combat mode ready to defend Kyuubi.

"Impressive" in such a soft voice that Anaish didn't felt threaten by the woman. 'Is that what love compelled creature to do? Does love make creatures stronger by having something precious to protect'

"Who are you?" asked Anaish not confident if it is a foe or friend before her.

"I am not who, but something. I am what some creature call me as the Realm Guardian Sprit, however you may call me as Shahiyn" as she approached Anaish. Feeling once again threaten once Shahiyn approached her and Kyuubi, Anaish reverted back into combat mode.

"I don't care who or what you are. Don't you dare come any closer to Kyuubi! If you even try to harm him, I will rip you into pieces, and I," as Anaish was speechless when she heard laughter from the creature before her.

"And why would I do something like that? Your Kyuubi is vital for both this Demon Realm and the Human World," once again replied in a soft harmonic voice relieving the tension out of Anaish.

"What?" as Anaish struggled to speak, unable to comprehend what Shahiyn was saying, "What do you mean?"

"Tell me Anaish, if you were given a chance to prevent Kyuubi's death. Would you do it?" asked Shahiyn.

"What kind of question is that? Of course I would" replied Anaish. 'I will never let any harm reach him as he looks towards Kyuubi'

"Even if it would cost you life?" asked Shahiyn softly.

Anaish sudden became quite, thinking deeply if she would go that far before she responded in a calm voice, "Of course, Kyuubi must not feel any pain, even if it were to cost my life!" Yet Anaish doesn't seem too convinced of her own words. 'Why am I feeling this dreaded feeling inside me. Am I afraid to die for Kyuubi? Is my life more important that Kyuubi's happiness? Am I really this selfish, no I must not believe that! I love Kyuubi, and I will protect him no matter what!' Anaish then approached Shahiyn wanting to ask her something.

"We will see Anaish, we will see how true you are to your words and to your love" With that Shahiyn turned around readying to leave, hardly giving Anaish enough time to ask her question

"Wait!" cried out Anaish

"What now?" asked an annoyed Shahiyn.

"Why is Kyuubi so vital?" as Shahiyn turned around to regard that question as she glanced at Anaish weakly standing before Kyuubi forcing a smile upon the graceful feature of Shahiyn.

"Well I could tell you, however it looks like we have an uninvited visitor," a sadden Shahiyn replied before turning around leaving the area, but not before leaving one last message for Anaish.

"Take care Anaish and now we will see how much you love Kyuubi" with that, Shahiyn vanished on to leave a chilling breeze behind.

A strong gust of wind warned Anaish that someone was coming, as she prepared herself once again to protect Kyuubi at all cost. However what she saw before her had her trembling in fear, as her worst nightmare became frightening real. Before her stood the same creature with the haunting red eyes she always saw in her nightmare. Having forced upon the terror before her, she failed to notice Orochimaru was on the back of the dragon. However when Orochimaru arrived to the area, he noticed an alert Anaish circling around Kyuubi to suddenly stand terrified.

"Damn I won't be able to get near Kyuubi with that oversize fox. Well I think Manda should take care of that problem." Orochimaru bitted his thumb and performed a series of seals, before yelling out, "Kuchiyose No Jutsu!"

Heavy smoked filled the area before an anaconda appeared, going by the name Manda. Manda seeing the weak demon fox before him yelled in irritation to his master, "Why did you call me? If it's just her, I am going to be bored. Why don't you use that lazy dragon you are standing on?"

"He was injured previously, therefore you are the only choice I have," was a little lied told by Orochimaru because he didn't have complete control of his dragon yet, and afraid he would be dead once his dragon goes on a rampage.

"You better give me something fun later, you hear Orochimaru!" yelled the angered large snake.

"Don't worry you will have your fun, but I need you to take of her, I have more important matters to attend to." As Orochimaru yelled before jumping down from the dragon and slowly approaching Kyuubi"

Anaish finally realized that there was a figure running towards Kyuubi and tried to move but the anaconda completely warped around Anaish, leaving her immobile.

"Damn it, I must do something!" as Anaish's eyes followed Orochimaru calmly walking toward Kyuubi.

With all the commotion, the slumbering Kyuubi finally awakened. At first he could not comprehend what was going on before him. Yet the moment he realized that Anaish is being harmed, Kyuubi lets out a furious growl, "What are you doing to Anaish, let her go!"

"Oh I wouldn't do that now, not if you want harm coming towards Anaish. Nothing will happen if you do as I say", as Orochimaru approached the giant demon.

Kyuubi looked down to notice a tiny human, however he holds no regard towards it, instead Kyuubi moved towards the anaconda suffocating Anaish.

"I see, I guess some creatures don't hear very well. Oh well, Manda kill the white fox", as Orochimaru appeared once again upon the back of his dragon.

"Kyuubi please run save yourself leave me here you must live run Kyuubi!" as Anaish struggled to get enough air as she whispered those words.

Kyuubi made an attempt to reach her side, however to find his pathway not clear as a tall tower of fire produced an efficient wall. Kyuubi found the source to realize the fearsome dragon breathing out fire. Kyuubi may have not known this, but from that moment on foxes and dragon will forever be locked in heated battles.

"Damn am I always this weak. Why can't I protect Anaish who is precious to me?'

Shahiyn mentally spoke within Anaish's mind, "If you had the chance to protect Kyuubi, and it might cost your life, would you do it?"

"I will do anything. I love Kyuubi, and if my sacrifice can protect him, so be it," spoken with determined steel voice.

"Kyuubi I love you please don't give up on your life. Please always protect the weak. Please don't forget me please take care of yourself and I hope to see you again," as Anaish closed her eyes, where a sudden blinding light exploded within her.

"If Kyuubi truly loves you, he will find you little one" as Shahiyn amplified Anaish's power reaching high level that annihilated the Anaconda, Manda which cried out in pain before vanishing with thick smoke. Orochimaru is knocked of the dragons back surprised by this huge surge of power. With a sinister smile, Orochimaru regained his position upon his dragon, as he takes flight into the sky. While in the air, the snake-sennin needed to fulfill one more step to get his trophy under his spell as he yelled out a statement to the shaking red male below him.

"Kyuubi you just lose what is precious to you, and you only have you to blame. You have no idea what you are up against, but I dare you to follow Kyuubi, I want to see to what capabilities are, for I will be waiting for you my trophy," after leaving his last message, Orochimaru felt he can finally return back to his lord, to tell of these new event that transpired.

Kyuubi is found left all alone in the forest, looking in horror at the lifeless body of Anaish. All the life and joy are nonexistent in Anaish's eye. Reality came crashing into Kyuubi as he sorrowfully realized Anaish is dead right before his eyes.

"No! Why, why is this happening Anaish? You promised me. You promised you will never leave me, Anaish!" as Kyuubi frantically tried to wake up Anaish, tears flowing down from his eyes before sending a heart broken roar into the night.

Kyuubi's world was engulfed in shadows, where not even the sun's rays can even shine through. All positive emotion in Kyuubi seemed to drift away leaving hatred and rage as entered the world of darkness.

The same pack of wolves that came earlier catches the scent of blood and death, appeared once again to find a fox bathing in blood. The wolves realized the creature was the same one that had killed their leader, and fearing death by the red demon, they frantically tried to run away. However Kyuubi had sensed them, and in his state of darkness, the need for bloodshed was overwhelming and the only escape was to wipe out the entire pack of wolves.

Having lost his precious Anaish, Kyuubi struggled to contain his rage and madness; as he hungrily hunted for blood and carnage. Silently and swiftly Kyuubi appeared next to each wolf. Each time the wolf begged for mercy, each time Kyuubi replied, "Mercy is not something I will no longer show" Each time Kyuubi ripped apart some part of the wolf's body. Whether it is the legs, mouth, neck, or head, each wolf is brutally murdered by Kyuubi, leaving the wolf lying in its own pool of blood.

Wanting to pay Orochimaru a visit, he desperately looked for clues to find the location of the man he will have his revenge on. Returning to the place that was destroyed by an explosion, where Kyuubi noticed it was the same area which had Anaish trapped under a tree.

As Kyuubi was searching the area, he heard a voice, not very loud, but Kyuubi was sure he heard it. In fact he knew for sure it was Anaish's voice.

"Kyuubi I need your help I am trapped in here," as the voice is carried away by the wind, making nothing else audible.

In his wild state, Kyuubi did not noticed Shahiyn had appeared behind him, but the only thing he felt was moving through a water bubble before landing on top several homes. Kyuubi was desperately searched for the voice again, but was having difficultly.

Call it fate, or just bad luck, but Orochimaru had taken his dragon and went on a killing spree to ensure all his plans will be accomplished. When the village did finally responded to the explosion and fire, they noticed a giant fox appeared before them. As fear would drive all logic out of any intelligent individual, many believed it was the demon that had attacked earlier. In their attempt o save their village, many elite ninjas had engaged in an attempt to drive or destroy the demon before their village would be annihilated.

For Kyuubi it was being at the place at the wrong time. However as he glanced into the air, he noticed the same red dragon flying away, as rage once again fuel inside him, dampened any logic that existed. Kyuubi began following the dragon only to see several tiny forms of human appeared before him

Kyuubi noticed several obstacles before him, one including the Hidden Leaf Village. In an attempt to make a pathway, Kyuubi released a great amount of chakra to terrify all the villagers. Kyuubi notices innocent people running for their lives, but he doesn't care. His only goal is to find Orochimaru.

Yondaime saw the lives of the villagers in dangers, performed a sealing jutsu he had perfected called the, "Fuuin Jutsu" to seal the demon. However, the demon is to powerful to be defeated this way. In order to seal the demon, the fourth was forced to find a container with the same type of chakra as Kyuubi. The Fourth Hokage realized he did not have the strength needed to complete the seal; however he felt a hand placed on his shoulder. The Fourth Hokage glance behind him to find his smiling but tired wife, "Do not worry my dear, I am always here by your side, I will help you perform this seal lets protect everyone!" as they were determined to defeat this demon.

With the help of his wife, to their shock found their son, Naruto, the only matching container. Both the father and mother felt their heart broken for not only would their son be alone, but will have to carry a great burden. With heavy hearts, the two parents did their duty and sealed the demon inside Naruto, by casting "Shiki Fuujin".

"Far well my son you must have the courage and strength to forever be engaged in this battle with this the demon for all eternity. Please remember that I and your mother believed you are incredible strong. Please never give up hope, for hope is what made us human, something a demon will never experience. I hope you find precious things in your life to protect," as the Fourth Hokage left his finally words before the affect of the kamikaze Jutsu take their lives.

As Kyuubi is being sealed into Naruto he heard the cries of his Anaish, not sure for it might mean, all he heard was, "Kyuubi help me here". Kyuubi desperately tried to fight the seal in order to escape and discover where that voice came from.

Yes finally I am done with this chapter. Well I am proud of my work done on this chapter even through it took me 3 months to write it. I hope you enjoy and feel it is much better done then what I have done previously. This was a huge road block, for I felt it had many things wrong before.
