Kyra and Rendiiroku

"Hiitoke" The Caption stood. " I'm assigning Shiba to you. Train him well."

"Yes, sir."

Hiitoke lead Shiba to a training ground. It was wide and spacious. Huge walls all around, lined with sentry's. The training ground its self was made of a type of fine dirt. Not quite sand but not plant bearing soil ether. The dirt was soft almost like powder. A single figure stood in the entire place. This person seemed to be waiting for something. As the pair came closer to they became more visible. Standing out in the large area was a girl just a bit taller than Shiba. She stood tall with one hand on her hip. Her clothing was black and red. A headband was tied around her head. Long bangs hung over her headband and down her face. Her hair was cut short. Dark black markings highlighted her face. One went down the bridge of her nose and up under her headband. Two other markings paralleled each other on ether side of her lips. Those lines then then ran down her neck and stopped at her collar. A light necklace made of leather and gems hung loosely around her neck. Although the makings she had were strange and unusual it was not the markings that caught Shiba's attention. No, it was her hair that he noticed first. Her hair was a deep maroon red. It was an unnatural color just like Shiba's own orange hair. Shiba continued to stare and the girl seemed to take notice. She gave him cold glare that caused him to look away.

"So this is the newbie" she looked directly at Shiba. Her words were as cold as her stare.

"Be nice Kyra he hasn't had the best of days today."

She continued to glare at Shiba and eventually he mustered enough courage to return the glare. Shiba could feel his blood boil has his temper began to surface.

"Hiitoke" she put her hands on her hips. "Which one is he? The two headed Jackal, the Azul Dragon or the" She stopped when Hiitoke cut her off.

"None of them."

"But I thought you and the Caption where going to find the dragon or the jackal?"

"We were, but we found him instead."

The girl turned to look at Shiba.

"Which one?"

"This is Shiba, the Red Fox."

Her eyes widened. She seemed to be very surprised.

"How?"

Hiitoke held up his hands.

"I'd rather not go into detail."

Shiba turned to Hiitoke.

"When do we start training?"

"Oh, right, well then shall we begin."

Training was rough for Shiba. He had no battle experience and Kyra could predict his every move. She told him that he was 'so predictable, attacking head on with only brute force.' Truth be told brute force was the only thing he knew. Shiba continued to swing and Kyra continued to weave around his attacks. She smiled at Shiba. This only proved to irritate him more.

"What are you smileing at!" he screamed.

She never lost her cool though.

"You've left your self open."

Her response was surprising to Shiba. He tried to move to block her, but it was to late. Kyra was quick. She used her feet in battle mostly. Using her fists only when needed. Honestly she was only playing with Shiba, toying with his temper. Using his emotions to get an opening to attack, but she was not the only one that used his emotions.

Kyra swung her foot at Shiba, striking him in the ribs on his right side. This was a powerful attack that should have brought him to his knees, but to Kyra and Hiitoke's surprise Shiba grabbed her foot when it made contact. He took the blow and remained on his feet.

"Impossible." Kyra mumbled.

Know at a disadvantage and caught off balance she struggled to get her leg free, but it was no use. Shiba's grip only tightened. Kyra now desperate swung with her left hand, but Shiba caught it with his right. Then everything only got worse. Shiba lifted his gaze from the ground and met Kyra's eyes with his own. His eyes were red and his pupils were lines that resembled that of a cats.

"Shiba?" she called to him.

He responded by bearing his fangs, and roaring. His roar blew dust and sand off the ground. He then let go of Kyra's hand and hit her. His strike landed a direct hit on her chest. The force of the impact blew her back and her body skipped across the ground like a rock on water. Once her body stopped he jumped into the air with an intent of landing right on top of her. However, a chain found its way around his neck. His own strength was used agents him as he cam crashing to the ground. Hiitoke stood at the end of the chains. He called out to Kyra, but she remained silent. He was about to rush to he side when Shiba got back up. Hiitoke prepared to bind Shiba, bit this time however, Shiba showed a different part of his power. When he rose from his small crater Hiitoke got a good look at him. His body had began to change. His ears grew out long with a black coloring on his inner ear. The coloring came from his eyes and looked like a line running from his eyes to his ears. Whiskers sprouted on his face. His face grew into a muzzle and his fangs grew out. Shiba's hand grew and his nails became pointed claws. His feet became four toed paws with thick claws. Black fur covered the underside of his hands and paws. A tail also grew. It resembled a foxes tail except the white tip was black. Shiba's small body grew twice its size, and orange fur coated him. His form was complete. Shiba stood on two legs. Though his body resembled that of a fox he still retained a very human figure, able to walk own two legs while running at great speeds on four. His tail was key. Like other beasts his tail gave him enough balance to reach speeds faster than any human. Standing Shiba towered over Hiitoke.

Hiitoke who had been watching Shiba being taken over by Kurkura blinked. Upon opening his eyes Shiba was gone. A low growl and heavy breathing came from behind him. Hiitoke only had enough time to think one thing before Shiba attacked. 'He's fast' is all he thought before Shiba grabbed him and threw him into the air like a rag doll. Helpless Hiitoke watched as Shiba launched into the air after him. While still moving through the air Shiba hit Hiitoke with both his fists together. The force sent Hiitoke plummeting to the ground. The impact left a small crater around where his body lay. 'My bones, they're broken.' Blood driped from Hiitoke's mouth. Any attempt to move was met with severe pain. Shiba stood at the edge of the crater. He had exhausted no energy in taking out Hiitoke. The sentry's now began to surround Shiba. He merely stood and let them seeing them as no threat or challenge.

"Stay back!" Hiitoke ordered.

At first the sentry's were shocked but they obeyed their lieutenants orders. As they backed away Shiba made his move. Faster than what the untrained eye could see he took out every man that stood around him. Unsure of what to do next with all the soldiers taken out he just stood around. Until a sudden surge of power caught his attention. It came from behind him quick as lightning. Shiba was barely able to dodge the fatal part of the attack, but he still was hit on his right side.

Fresh blood dripped from his side as he turned to face his new opponent. Much to Kurura's surprise the Six tails now became his new enemy.
