I am a spirit fox, called Kitsune in most circles. I have six tails personally. I'm not the most powerful, but I do alright.

I was quite startled, as you might imagine, when the strange redheaded human wearing goggles stepped on my tail.

"Nyah!" I cried and leapt into the nearest light pole.

The human caught me in his strong hands and swept me into his arms.

"Are you hurt?" Rhetorical question. He must assume I was a regular fox, as I had glamoured quickly and looked normal. "I'll take you home."

He clutched me close.

He bandaged my tail. "Don't worry. I'll take care of you."

I do not understand humans.

He put me in a very soft satchel to rest.

I clutched my hoshi to my chest. I had been captured!

Matt had never seen a fox before, let alone one in the city.

He took the fox back to the apartment he was staying in.

She gave him an imperious look as her stomach growled, and leapt onto his store of food. She dragged out a bag of Konpeito and took it proudly to the bed and ate it all.

She looked at him, daring him to stop her.

"What do you want?" Matt asked her.

"Nyah."

He covered her in a blanket and she allowed him exactly three pats on the head.
