ok...this is part two...enjoy!
Kurama yawned as he stretched his paws out before sinking down to the warm ground with a peaceful huff. He rested his head on his paws, intending to take a nap when his sensitive ears caught a faint sound. Raising his head he looked up in time to see a strange apparition appear in the sky. He blinked when it seemed to spit out a small figure before disappearing once again. He watched in faint curiosity as he watched the thing fall at an alarming rate.
"Oh shit!" A female voice screamed, and he raised his head, realizing it had come from the rapidly falling object.
"Tch," he growled, getting to his feet reluctantly, part of him wanting to just let the female plunge to her death. But when she screamed again he dashed forward, before realizing he'd ecven moved.
"Oh no, nonono! Help!" I screamed, flailing wildly. I could see the lake from the other day fast approaching, but unlike that time, there was no one to save me. I was going to die. Just before I hit, I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the pain. After a few seconds I opened my eyes to see that I'd stopped a foot above the water. I moved heisatently and froze when I heard a low rumbling growl. I looked over my shoulder, slowly, feeling my heart pounding in my chest. My mouth fell open and I gasped at the sight behind me.
A massive fox stood on the lake, glaring at me balefully, as eight tails swayed behind it lazily. Glancing down, I realized there was another wrapped around my waist. Red eyes the size of windows stared into mine as I struggled to comprehend what I was looking at. With a little huff the animal drew it's tail, and me, towards it as it walked off the lake and onto the shore. When I was safe above the sand, it dropped me unceremoniously on my butt and I winced, glowering up at the massive animal in annoyance. It made a soft huffing sound as its eyes filled with what seemed to be amusement.
"Oh, that's real nice. Now Im being laughed at by a giant fox," I grumbled, getting to my feet and rubbing my side rear end with a grimace.
"You are a strange kit," a low, male voice said.
I blinked and looked around. "Huh? Who said that?" I asked, puzzled.
A breeze of warm air ruffled my hair as the giant fox seemed to sigh.
"I am the one who spoke, kit." It said, looking down at me.
I blinked, staring up at it...um him as my brain momentarily shut down.
Kurama began to feel a bit concerned as the strange female kit stared up at him blankly.
He crouched down, nudging her carefully with his nose. "Kit? Are you alright?" He asked.
He watched as she twitched and blinked once more.
"The fox can talk. Huh, that's a new one. I think I might have hit my head, I'm imagining animals talking to me," she mumbled to herself.
He flicked her with the edge of his tail, knocking her over. Drawing himself up he said, "I will have you know that I am no ordinary fox, human kit! I am the mighty kyuubi no kitsune! Most powerful of my siblings and all tailed beasts!" He informed her, sounding offended.
She hissed as she landed on her side butt again, but as she listened to him finish his declaration she began to giggle. Collapsing on her back, she clutched her stomach as giggles turned to full out laughter.
Kurama felt his eye twitch. "Why are you laughing?" He growled, feeling offended.
"S-sorry!" She gasped, sitting up and wiping her eyes. "You just said that so seriously, like its a big deal, but the thing is...I haven't got a clue what you're talking about." She explained, still snickering.
He sighed again, settling back into a crouch to see her better, and spoke again.
"I am Kurama, the nine tailed fox. Power is decided in your number of tails and I have the most of all my siblings, so I am the most powerful," he explained.
"Huh, cool. Wait!? Does that mean there are eight more of you?" She asked, eyes wide.
"Yes, scattered over the entire continent," he said, nodding.
"Wow, are they all as huge as you are?" She asked.
He nodded again and she looked baffled.
I stood still for several seconds, trying to process this new fact I'd just learned about this strange world. I was beginning to feel very small and weak, realizing how doomed I was in a world where I had no power. Kurama nudged me again, looking curious, and I smiled wryly at him. I opened my mouth to speak when I realized hadn't introduced myself yet.
"Oops! I forgot to tell you my name!" I exclaimed, feeling dumb, "I'm Annie, you said your name was Kurama,right?" I asked.
He made that soft huffing sound again and nodded. I smiled, deciding to ignore the fact that I'd been laughed at, and said "its nice to meet you!"
He dipped his massive head slightly and replied, "it is nice to meet you as well, Annie-kit," he said.
I plopped down in the sand and looked up at him, "so...now what? I have no idea how I got here or how to get home," I said.
Kurama seemed to be staring into the distance, and as I watched him, his hackles seemed to rse.
"I am sorry, kit, but I have to leave, there are two males heading this way, they will probably help you," he said, looking down at me.
I shrugged and nodded.
"Okay, I guess I'll see you later, if the ones coming don't kill me, that his," I said, waving goodbye cheerfully.
Kurama paused, looking at me with faintly worried eyes before turning and disappearing. I sighed and fell onto my back, waiting for the unknown people to show up.
