Chapter 2
I don't own fruits basket but Vixenly is mine.
Enter the fox
Vixenly sighed as she walked the streets of the shopping district with her hands full of bags from various stores. She continued walking as the light from the setting sun dissipated and the lampposts began to flicker. "God I wish I could change and these stupid shoes are killing me." She said as set the bags down and rested. She was wearing high heals a pair of low-cut jeans and a sweater. Vix looked up at the darkened sky as stared began to appear. "Nice night, I guess." She picked up the stuff and continued when something caught her eye. It was a man or so she thought as he stared at her from one of the side streets. The eyes were what caught her the most, they were dark yet she saw tints of red in them. His body was covered in a long billowy cloak, and his long raven dark hair was covered by a brimmed hat. "Shahhhhh callahhhh emtahhh." He slurred at her as Vixenly started to drop her bags. The cloak flew back and she saw what was underneath. It was a hideously grotesque arm as it raised up and focused on her now rapidly changing form.
Vixenly's body became slightly larger as her muscles grew and claws formed on her hands. Fur sprouted quickly as her face sprouted outward and became that of a foxes. A tail ripped out of her now ripped jeans, her feet burst out of the heels as her now clawed digits clawed the ground. Vixenly leapt to the side as something shot from the things arm and struck where she had stood. People that had been by her screamed in terror at her new form as she faced the thing in the alley. "What ever the hell you are, you made me ruin one of my favorite pairs of pants." She growled at him as the thing moved for another shot. Vixenly then leaped on the thing as it fired again hitting a nearby small tree.
As she lept the things other arm rose to meet her. It was different though from the right arm, five spear like claws forming into a single sharp spear tip. They opened up though as it jabbed the claws forward and into her descending form. She cursed as the five claws pierced her skin on her left upper thigh but she fought back. It screamed in fury when she clawed at its eyes. Vixenly cursed again as she tried to break free of the things hold. Something was wrong though; her thigh which had been hit was beginning to go numb. 'Poison, gotta get out now.' She thought as the thing brought its right arm up to smash her skull in. "Not today creepo!" She yelled as she brought her right leg forward and pushed as much as she could. A small snap was heard as the claws ripped from her leg.
The werefox stumbled as she tried to hobble away, but it was to no avail it seemed as the thing started to move after her. She made it to the street and started across the ongoing traffic. Vix turned for a moment trying to find the thing but it seemed to be gone, that was until she turned around and looked again. At the other side it stood there almost waiting impatiently it seemed. "Damn it can jump that far!" She said in disbelief as it started to run at her from the street and made a flying leap. That was until a buss going 45 hit it and a squeal of pain emanated from both the tires and the thing. Vix continued walking and slowly changed back into her human form. At the corner she hailed a taxi when she saw the thing start to get up from the wreckage. "Go! Go!" She yelled at the driver as the thing spotted her. The driver saw what she saw and spoke quickly. "Don't need to tell me twice lady!" The tires left a small trail of smoke as the cab picked up speed.
The driver turned his head toward her. "Jesus lady, you look like you went through a shredder!" Vix winced as she looked at her wounded leg. "Pal, you don't know the half of it." She said as she ripped of part of her remaining clothing and began to bind the wound. "So where to?" The driver asked as he drove on. "Sohma…" she said trailing off as the numbness continued to grow on her body. "Sohma estate? Yeah I know where that's at, get ya there in a jiffy." Vix noticed something in one of the wounds as she continued to work on the leg. It was a broken piece of the things claw. 'What are you?' She wondered as she looked at the things appendage.
It was late at the Sohma estate as a figure moved to and from the trees on the outer wall. The shadow moved to a hidden hole on the wall, light from a street lamp reflected onto the persons face. It was the girl known as Tohru Honda and she was sneaking in to see the cat. From the many times she had traveled she now knew the place by heart. She saw the cat meditating in his home as she slowly walked up to his house. "You know one of these day's you're going to get caught and not by one of your friends." Kyo said as he opened his eyes and looked at her. "It doesn't matter, I still love you and it pains me to see you here." She said and then kissed Kyo on the cheek. "I know and I love you too." Kyo said as he kissed her back. It was then that they heard someone clapping and then the voice. "Well, well, well, if it isn't beauty and the beast." Tohru backed up then as Akito walked out from behind one of the trees. "Isn't it so lovely to see to fools in love?" he asked as his face then became a deep sneer.
