Kyuubi x Kagome


"Poor, poor little Kyuubi."

Her finger swung back and forth, catching the baby's bright blue eyes. His chubby little fingers reached out for her, trying to make contact, though she made sure to keep herself just out of reach.

A smirk blossomed on her face, sarcastic and cruel in nature. "How dreadful it must be to be trapped inside there," she said.

The baby's attention turned elsewhere, as a tuff of fur grazed along his cheek. He reached out instinctively for it, laughing happily as his fingers managed to grasp a hold of the crème tipped fluff. Then, tugging and pulling, he frowned only slightly as a hiss resonated in his ear.

"You know," she growled slowly, "it is bad luck to pull on the tail of a nine-tailed fox. It is said that you will, in return, be cursed by the fox and there is no way to escape such a punishment."

The elegantly groomed tail pulled away from the baby, making him sniffle a bit, before her swinging finger distracted him once more. He reached out for it—he was so helpless in that makeshift cradle of his—before he laughed again at the sight of her black, fox-like ears twitching atop her head.

Finally, touching the human child, she said, "I suppose it is for the best, though." Her claws grasped the baby's face, causing him to cry as tiny marks were left behind. "I'm going to have to kill you anyway in order to have my mate returned to me. And, remember, child, that this Kagome will not be so easily captured by humans."

The child's door slammed open, a single shinobi rushing inside at the noise. He was surprised, however, to find the room empty.
