Hazel enjoyed the comfort of her bed and the sensation of the sheets against her skin as she slowly woke up. Letting out a tired yawn, she was greeted by a rather unusual scent. The scent of green apples mixed with the scent of… salty peanuts. While most would find that scent strange, Hazel knew exactly what it belonged to. Her pet slime, Bobu.
Nobody was sure where Bobu came from, nor how he ended up in Kyoto of all places. He just showed up at the Kyoto palace where a young Hazel found him and earned the affection of the turquoise salamander-shaped slime by feeding him a few pieces of sushi on a particularly rainy day. After some convincing, Hazel got to keep the gelatinous blob in the shape of a salamander as a pet. At first Yasaka wanted to get rid of Bobu because she initially mistook the turquoise slime for the kind normally found in the Familiar Forest of the Underworld, which are infamous for eating clothes (particularly those of women), but she relented after Hazel hugged the slime and her clothes didn't start dissolving, though they still ended up more than a little moisturized.
As Hazel put on her kimono, which was primarily red with some white segments, she felt the familiar sensation of her gelatinous pet rubbing himself against her bare feet and ankles, trying and succeeding at getting her attention. With a fond smile forming on the dark furred Kyubi's face, she kneeled down and picked up the salamander-shaped slime, giving him a hug in the process. Which caused Bobu to let out a bubbly sound, making it known that he was happy, though whether or not it was because of the fact that he was in contact with his owner's rather big… assets was debatable, a few bubbles forming within the slime as he made a noise that could be interpreted as a purr of enjoyment (if he was a cat instead of a slime), the bubbles popping once they reached the surface of the gelatinous blob.
"Good morning Bobu." Exclaimed Hazel happily as the slime rubbed his head against the dark furred Kitsune's whisker-marked cheek. "Hihi. Bobu! That tickles! Come on let's head down for breakfast." Bobu's only response was to make another bubbly sound.
The teenage Kyubi went on with her day like normal, not doing much of anything in particular outside of playing with Bobu and reading a manga with a female lead, who could kick ass, look very good doing so (even when her outfit took damage in all the right places) and always managing to get new partners (of both genders) in bed throughout the story, depicted in steamy scenes with plenty of fan service (sometimes with multiple partners in bed (and occasionally other places where steamy action wasn't appropriate) at the same time). While she would probably never say it, but Hazel found herself kind of idolizing the protagonist of the manga she was delightfully reading, strong, confident, smoking hot, something of a sadomasochistic dominatrix, quite amazing in the bedroom and a powerful mage. The only thing that the dark furred Kitsune was annoyed by was the fact that the manga was normally censored (usually skipping the steamy sections completely and toning down the violence) and even then difficult to find, so she had to look in… certain places and pay extra to get the best version of the manga, the complete uncensored version.
The fact that the manga was in the supernatural-genre certainly helped, as some of Hazel's most powerful techniques of Youjutsu were based on some of the spells in the manga. One of her most powerful ones being the technique known as Kitsune no Taiyō, or Fox Sun. Which was basically her just forming a gigantic ball of Foxfire, something unique to Kitsune, before throwing it at her target and letting it explode on impact. But her arguably strongest technique was the one known as Gehin'na Inferuno. Vulpine Inferno. Which, while simple, was a very devastating massive nigh-omnidirectional release of Foxfire.
