The next day on the great wall as it was caving in Max out of instinct dove in grabbing zoe! He wrapped his hidden tails around them as he used needle jizo To protect them!
he held her out of instinct she was shaking as they where buried he won't let her die! he growled to himself his instincts were screaming use shadow clone to dig self and kill dinosaur for trying to burry the woman he loved alive!
Max's unseen fox ears switched Rex was heading to get the dinosaur then come back, Max sighed.
Zoe looked nervous as, as far as she knew Max could be an evil demon and she was trapped in his arms she gulped and said, "Max the other night someone was at the shrine! Someone with nine tails! I am either being pranked or there really are kitsune out there!" She was shaking and in a moment she put a hand in his hair moving it and she stopped they may be hidden form sight by gen jutsu but she could feel the ears!
She pinched the ear making Max groan in pain as she teared up trying to back away but there wasn't room!
Max sighed, "fine I am caught his tails and ears appeared to view and Zoe gulped," so…. Is this about my family abandoning the shrine?" she said worried she was being targeted Foxes where sneaky tricksters, they had to they couldn't tell a lie!
Max sighed, "We didn't even know about it! till my Mom stumbled upon it while on a hike!" he said sighing, "Zoe I am not going to hurt you! I am still me!"
Zoe held her hands to her neck and gulped," yeah but a demon!" she said fearing the claws she could make out ripping her throat open!
Max teared up, "See that's why we hid!" he said holding his face, " I spent all my time and hope wanting to make friends, Falling head over heels in love with you! and as soon as the tails are seen it's all over and done!"
zoe gasped at the statement! But in a moment hair senbon needles fused with demonic chakra fired shredding the rocks freeing them!
the Fox before her was crying his eyes out as he backed up saying," you're free and I promise you won't see the monster again!" he said hitting a button to warp away! back to the d-lab!
As he did so Zoe reached out remembering the older fox's words,"…. I didn't listen to the nine tails! I am the Shrine maiden of a nien tails shrine! A nine tails appears and tells me something and I don't listen!" she said holding her head," that's like not listening to the guy who can see into the future!"
She turned pair's in to a card and teleported back to the lab! As she said," there was a cave in were did Max go!" she said appearing as Reese point out the window!
While Rex would get the card Zoe couldn't find Max anywhere! His words rang in her head, "You won't see the Monster again!" she held her face," No no no!"
Meanwhile at the Taylor house.
Spike was showing off an Anbu uniform with a fox mask he had made, "how do I look honey!?"
Aki rolled her eyes," work on the combat outfit you're a bit too buff for that to work! And the heard is to long to hide behind the mask!" she said pulling her husband's beard below the mask, " Like I said ridiculous at least the mask part!"
She then heard a door bell ring and Spiek vanished Aki hide her ears and tail she was waiting for the seek it would take the Toad sage to bring Hinata but she was removed form that by the sight of Zoe crying as she said," I messed up big time! I know Just tell Max I don't think he is a monster so he can come see me! I'll be at the shrine waiting!"
She ran off aki was puzzled by this but she would tell Max.
Later on when the sun was setting zoe was in the shrine sitting down on the floor in a Miko outfit legs to her chest crying thinking about it! her reaction was stupid! If Max was evil he would have killed her along time ago! He sure wouldn't have gotten buried to save her!
that is when She heard his voice say, "so you want to Say sorry for how you acted? When I had to explain My Mother her reaction! She got so angry she became a nine tails! She no longer likes you Zoe word of warning beware her!"
Zoe sighed as she looked up getting up looking for him as she said," I deserve That! Max please let me see you!"
Max stepped out he was showing a lot more fox features red eyes his claws his ears his tail! He was wearing ninja sandals in black to show the claws on his toes.
he was dressed in orange baggy pants with burned ankle parts, held up by a red sash! A white kimono shirt , the parts around his hands ripped he still had the head band! He also had a kunai knife holder on his left leg.
Zoe tackled him hugging him crying," I am so sorry! I was shocked I was confused, I have so many questions!"
Max sat down pulling her down with him, "I'll answer all I can!" zoe sat beside him holding his hand crying as she looked in to his eyes they where red, but they where not angry they were not evil they where hurt and sad. It made her tear up more!
sure zoe knew now but there was a lot to go over before anything official happened!
Meanwhile in the Taylor house.
Aki was growling in rage as she said," so much for wanting pink haired little gandkits!" the new nine tails said," I swear If she expect to be for given it's not happening at least not form me! Max is too in love to stay mad! I on the other hand am a mother demon who has seen her son crying! She is lucky I don't fire a tail beast ball blaster on her fucking house while she sleeps!"
She said growling she then packed a bag, "I need to leave! I need to go somewhere else to blow off steam before I fucking Tail beast ball blaster the fucking city to shit!" She then Vanished form a burst of speed.
Meanwhile in a corner huddling in fear was Spike Naruto and Shino! The bug man said," … I wet myself!"
Spike said," that's ok we all did!"
the next morning Zoe found herself being pushed back when she went to step into Max's house she blinked before touching it to see a barrier! She paused as Shino said," looks like Aki put a barrier on to keep you out of the house!"
zoe cried, "dang it!" She then walked around back to the back yard that still worked to see Max who was like wise in his normal outfit waiting.
the pink haired possible girlfriend of Max said," So this is going to make our date tonight harder!" she said shyly tapping her fingers together! She agreed to it as she still had questions!
Max nodded as he throw a ball and chomp would bring it back! "with by the way you may want to avoid my Mom! She is tail beast ball blaster rapid fire mad!" she looked confused and he said," tailed beast or those using our power can make things explode like an atomic bomb that's what a tail beast ball blaster is!"
Zoe jumped arms at her side, "…. Now I feel more stupid for thinking you where evil for a second! If you where you would have just magic nuked the city already!"
Max then nodded, "now sorry but Rex is coming now to be quite about this!"
Rex then opened the back door and said," A dinosaur appeared come on guys!" zoe walked around the outside of the house as she couldn't go into it anymore!
to be continued.
