A/N: Ok Every teen knows what its like to get into trouble... But What About a certain Fox Familiar. What happens when Tomoe finds himself in a tight corner along with other isses hanging over his head?)

Grounded... ( SAY WHAT?)

Tomoe grumbled as he ( Finally ) cleared away the vines from the Tori Gate. They had to be burned to a crisp and then cut by ( Get this...The Holy God Shears...).

" MASTER FOX! MASTER FOX! YOU HAVE TO COME QUICKLY! "

The already aggravated Fox Demon scrunched up his shoulders in annoyance. Those annoying children with their high pitched voices were back, tormenting his sensitive Fox Ears. He already had a headache for some reason, And he didn't have an appetite. Tomoe bit his lip and turned around. What is it that coud be so urgent? A leak in the room? Because he had just got supplies for that, and had to focus on it. He already had too much on his plate so what could they want?

"What!"

The small spirits flinched by his sudden outburst and the evil Black Smoke forming around his head seemed to come with lightning bolts and added thunder. " Oh Master Fox...Um...Well There's a guest, a god in fact! Its... The spirits paused and swallowed what little hope they had left, Its Inari." Tomoe felt a wave of pressure and took a step back. Inari? Inari...The Guy with all the two faced Fox Familiars Serving him?...

" Master Fox? "

"..."

"Master Fox, are you alr-"

"WHAT THE HECK! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS INARI!?

Mikage's POV

"Well, I smiled, " That sounds like my new Familiar Outside!"

Inari looked at me disapprovingly ( Probably because of the cursing and swearing coming from outside...Oi, Why Tomoe?") Then they all stumbled into the door. The poor shrine spirits trying to hold back a scary and highly aggravated Tomoe.

" Please Master Fox! Be careful watch your actions!" They pleaded, still being dragged by Tomoe towards the table at which we sat. Tomoe looked at them evilly.

" Who gives a CRAP, about my Actions?!" I bit my lip. My Familiar was being very disrepectful. I would have let him go to his room, but thats when he sat down and folded his arms. Tail wagging and teeth bared. He gave a death glare to Inari's Familiar and muttered something intolerable under his breath.

"See! I smiled proudly, This is Tomoe! My new Familiar."

" I see, So this under privilaged boy is your Familiar? I think he needs to be taught a few things don't you agree? He looked down at his Familiar ( Who, by the way, Was still getting a death glare.)

I swallowed my anger and smiled. "Not at all Inari. This Famous Fox, Who has great potential. Is my New Familiar!"

I looked at Tomoe out of the corner of my eye. He was sulking. Right in front of our guest. He had a death glare, and I saw how his Body would qiver from time to time. Not from Fear, I think... Maybe from... Absolute Anger... I swallowed my own fear and looked at Inari, plastering on my happiest Smile.

Inari smirked, " That fool? Do you know how many people have suffered at his hands? Fathers lost daughters and sons. Homes and villages where burned down till nothing else was left. Women were kidnapped, and who knows what that Demon did to them."

I again looked at Tomoe. He had turned his death glare to Inari ( Notgood.) and it looked like he was going to explode. Inari laughed, and looked at Tomoe.

" With all the Women you kidnapped you must of had fun, Hum Fox?"

I felt like this was getting out of hand, But once again I was to late too stop the situation. Tomoe was standing up cussing out Inari, and he then Jumped kicked Inari's familiar. The Poor Familiar didn't have a chance. He flew towards the room in a flury of curse words and Blue Fox-Fire. I sat there in shock for a few minutes as various objects were thrown around the room

( Teacups, Teapots, Shrine Spirits... WAIT WHAT!? Onikiri!)I had to put an end to this. If not for my friendships sake, at least for the Shrines well being. I stood and turned my head towards Tomoe...

Tomoe's POV ( Why is he staring?)

I froze. It was like a cold dart, and ice water being dumped all over you. I was stuck in time. I stopped talking, Screaming, and just stared at Mikage.

'Why do I have a sudden feeling this will not end to my liking?'

I turned my head from Mikage's death stare and looked at Inari who was Smirking in the corner. ( With his Familiar in front of him, in total shock, Because he was being used as a shield) I felt my ears pin to my head as I let out a growl. He stopped smiling and pulled his familiar closer.

I still felt it... The death stare coming from my Master. It felt like my heart was shaking, which is strange since I hardly get scared, but this was different... Looking down at the floor I lifted my gaze and nearly fell over. He was still Staring... ' God! I mean come on look away...'

Inari's POV

I threw my familiar to the side and straightened my ( Slightly burnt.)Robes. "MIKAGE!"

He looked at me shocked, coming out of his glare. I straightened myself and pointed at his so called Familiar.

"That thing has to be punished for this! He cannot get away with this. His temper needs to be controlled! The Evil, Fox, Demon looked at me and narrowed his violet eyes in hatred,

" Maybe you should control your opinions on people!"

I looked around mocking the ridiculous Fox in front of me, " People? I don't see anyone of worth. Besides my friend, The things I'm saying aren't Opinions. Their Fact! Have you forgotten Everything you've done? Hum, Fox!?"

He looked at me with a look that reminded me of the first time I saw him. He was covered in blood head to toe. Smiling and enjoying the crimson color. He had run his hands through his hair streeking red through his silver hair. Rubbing his fingers together, he had laughed causally. Laughing at the pain of others. Laughing at the world itself.

" I bet You don't even regret anything you did!" His claws came out on that one, and at that he lunged forward... Right. At. Me...

MIKAGE QUICK! ( YOUR POINT OF VIEW IS NEEDED! TOMOE'S PAST MAD! COME ON!)

"TOMOE STOP!"

Tomoe stopped midair ( Landing in a funny heap in the floor...)

Tomoe! What are you thinking?!"

I saw Tomoe flinch. My word binding shouldn't have hurt him...Did it? I questioned this in my head as I looked back and forth from Inari and Tomoe. I turned my attention to Inari. The god who had caused all the problems.

" Inari, I swallowed dryly, Could you please leave?" He looked at me surprised.

All went silent, Even Tomoe... " Don't worry Inari. I... looking down at Tomoe I sighed as my heart dropped, I will Punish Him accordingly." I saw a small smirk go over Inari's face and he laughed.

"I hope you know what your doing Mikage. I punish my Familiar with whips. Believe me, It works..."

He trailed off as he looked down at Tomoe ( Who seemed to be dazed and in his own world. Probably trying to figure out what a whip would feel like.) I looked at Inari, disgust filling me. I started walking to the door. Shoving it open, looking at Inari, I gave a bow and gestured towards the door.

Inari tilted his head in confusion. "Mikage, he began, but I cut him off raising my hand. I straightened myself and looked at him,

"A man who mistreats people will be the one who will be mistreated back." I adjusted my glasses and sighed, " Beating a familiar, after you accept him/her into your home? Beating them Till they bleed, or plead that you stop is abuse. They live with you. You are to protect them, as much as they protect you. I will punish my Familiar, but not in such a servere matter."

Inari Gapped at me, "He deserves it! He's a killer! He's used women as toys! Why act like that is nothing?! You can't tame a beast like that!" He said thrusting his finger towards Tomoe.

I felt my gaze shift to Tomoe. His head was towards the ground, ears pinned down. As if he was really listening to Inari's Crap.

" He's no different from your Familiars. He is a fox. Foxes like freedom. You say I can't tame Tomoe, but you say you've tamed your own Familiars?" I laughed and looked at him in the eye," Remember just last month your familiar was caught- " I was cut off as Inari picked up his familiar and stormed out of the shrine leaving me and Tomoe in Shock...

I looked at Tomoe and sighed.

The shrine was a mess. Onikiri was flung against a wall, Brocken teacups were everywhere along with the tea that was in them. The table was scratched and burned, and the paper doors were almost completely gone. I turned my gaze at Tomoe, who was still looking at the floor.

It was heart breaking. He was surrounded by tea and brocken glass. His clothes were singed. His hair was still not properly cut, so it was long in some places. He had scratches on his face and he seemed to be staring at his empty hands. As if something was burning him...

"Tomoe?.. I kneeled beside him. Suddenly he lifted his eyes to look at me and I froze. It was the look that he gave me when me first met. It was lost as if wondering why he was here. Sadness was pouring out of him and I sighed.

"Tomoe I have to punish you." His gaze jerked up. He gave me look of amusement as if challenging me.. "Tomoe... Your Grounded..."

A/N: Sorry this was long but there's still more to come! Tune in next time to see Tomoe's Reaction to being grounded... For probably the first time in his life.
