"Kyuubi thinking"
Kyuubi was annoyed. Very, very annoyed. Not only was he slowly loosing all of his tails, having lost another just from wondering, but hadn't learned a thing from tracking the girl for the past few days.
Then again, it was probably his own fault from not learning anything. None of the heartless have been able to gather up the courage to try and attack the blue haired vixen ever since he first flared up his chakra. Not even the larger ones that could take advantage of his own pathetic state were to afraid of the kitsune.
He growled irritably as he trailed after the women. He was careful not to make a noise, but he wondered sometimes if the girl was daft to his foot steps considering they would cause a slight tremor even if he was half his original size. And speaking of noises he was sure he just heard something.
His body instinctively froze up as he became more hyperaware of his black surroundings. The fox's ears twitched as he heard claws scratching the ground not to far off and a silent hiss. Kyuubi sniffed the air and recoiled from the increasing stench of darkness. It reeked like garbage.
"Damnit this one's big. At least my on size." And where there was one there was always another thousand not far off in the dark realm. If it decide to attack him, Kyuubi was sure he could beat it easily but at what price to him. He was already down to seven tails and the next was already stating to fade. If the human got into trouble with it he wasn't sure if he could do anything this time. He shook his head violently.
"Why am I concerned about a stupid human. I don't care whether that vixen dies or lives. I only need her body to escape nothing else. The heartless can have what's left." He assured himself with a snarl.
Besides he was confident the women could take the thing on her own as long as there was only one of it. He had seen her fight already. The only reason she nearly lost was because the number game stated to become to much and she became tired simple as that.
He snorted at himself. The demon thought he was looking into deep about this. Letting his transparent body relax more he watched from the shadows as the women stated to head towards a clearing. The same clearing he heard the noises coming from.
This is one of the many reasons Kyuubi highly disliked humans. Their feeble senses made them ignorant to impending danger. Whether as a warrior or ninja who were trained to sharpen their senses to help in their survival they were still utterly meek.
Another load thumping sound alerted him that the enemy was close. It was truly confident if it wanted to take on the blue haired women with him near by. Kyuubi found a good corner to rest in so that he could watch the inevitable confrontation. From the angel he was laying he would be able to study the women better and the opening gave off a fair about of light. The ground cracked and pulsing the dark light.
A feral snarl roared out as a beast with glowing red eyes much like the fox's own stated to thump around in the shadows. And Kyuubi was surprised when he finally realized what the weapon that she summoned just before the darkness covered heartless struck. And he bellowed his own roar at her.
If Aqua didn't feel like she was being watched, then she definably was now. What ever was stalking her wasn't exactly doing a good job at keeping itself quiet. The keyblade master could feel its foot steps like mini earthquakes. Every once in a while she would randomly look back to see if she can catch it, only with little luck. So far she only got a glimpse of its crimson red eyes that pieced threw the darkness.
"Those eyes." She shivered. It was like they were looking strait into her soul. She constantly felt them bore into the back of her head especially when she stopped to rest. Aqua could of sworn one time she heard an angered voice telling her to do something when she was sleeping. It had disturbed the blue haired master to the point where that she hasn't stopped walking for what she assumed were a couple of days. She wasn't tired though for some reason.
As she walked into a clearing a loud pounding to the ground. Whipping her head to the side, Aqua watched the shadow covered beast jump wildly throughout darkness with its beady glowing red eyes leaving streaks as it romped around.
"So you finally decided to show your self." she said while watching the monsters movements. Summoning the keyblade to her side the beast stated to quiet down to an eerie silence. Tighten her grip on her old masters keyblade, the women tried to find where the beast would make its move. Her eyes widen as she heard someone yell at her.
"Behind you fool!"
Just in time. Aqua was able to block the beast attack from severing her in half but the might blow had send her backwards to the ground. Letting out a ragged breath she noticed the monster about to strike again. Quickly standing, the keyblade master shat a fire spell at the shadow covered beast. It jumped high above her narrowly missing the attack.
"This creature is not an unversed." Aqua thought as she watched the being return to the shadows its eyes gleaming hungrily at her. "It's a resident of the dark realm." The heartless hissed and the clearing became much darker.
The monster had the upper hand it could both disappear then suddenly reappear at will as long as it stayed in the darkness. The monster heartless growled as it watched its prey. To it, Aqua's movements were in slow motion. The pureblood raked out its monstrous claws at the light user, but she dodged its swipes by cartwheeling away.
The darkness covered heartless hesitated as it watched her, and Aqua took the opportunity strike it with the keyblade. Never flinching from her attacks the monster returned the safety of the darkness. The heartless glared angrily at her as she carefully listened to where the beast would strike next.
This time it rushed out of the dark, its claws scratching the ground causing large harmful sparks to shoot out as it tried to tackle the bluenet. It wasn't expecting for her to teleport to the side.
Aqua could already tell when ever the heartless was about to make its move due to a distinct chain like rattling it made. Again the heartless repeated its animalistic pattern. Lashing out its black talons at her and even snapping its jaws to try and destroy her. It did get lucky with its brainless technique when it had hit her on the side of the face with its tail just before the keybearer was able to put up a shield.
Feeling the wind knocked out of her from the strong hit, Aqua used curaga to gain her strength back when the heartless paused once more to watch her. This was no more then a deadly game of cat and mouse. If the tail hitting her could make her breathless then who knows what the those lethal claws could do. She had to end this as fast as possible before she lost all of her energy.
The monster heartless waited to long this time, its eye sight tricking it, when the women's keyblade collide with the center of its forehead before she disappeared once more and appeared once more just above its head and smashes the keyblade downwards making the heartless recoil back into the dark.
The pureblood snarled then let out a might roar that dispersed the excess darkness around the area and on its body revealing its true form. Its long almost wolf like body had chains wrapped around its forelimbs with long purple claws that dug deep into the ground. A black aura excreted from its jagged mouth as its once red eyes slowly changed to its normal yellow state.
"So you weren't the one whose been following me." Aqua could tell by the monsters eyes as they were completely hollow compared to other set that had been tracking her. The same eyes that were twitching off in the distance from the size of the pureblood heartless.
The heartless stated to romp around in a crazed state, Aqua's eyes never leaving it as it jumped around. Right before the monster was about to pounce on her, the keyblade master magically planted minesquares around her. She dodged just narrowing missing the heartless that would of squashed her. The dark hunter landed directly on one of the mines and stated a chain reaction of explosions but it seemed indifferent from the pain it was receiving.
Its eyes gleamed as it saw Aqua off the corner of its eye and whipped his thorn like tail around at her. She set up a reflect spell, and the tail collided with the shield. Her eyes widen as it stated to crack and soon shatter. She had to jump back as the tail broke threw and slam into the ground. This heartless was to strong to fight at close range and it could close distances in a matter of a single leap. Aqua stated to formulate plans in her head as the best way to defeat the yellow eyed monster.
Again the pureblood stated to jump around in circles trying to confuse her. She in turn kept her own distance as she cartwheels around with the heartless. It quickly became board of this circling game as it lunged forward dashing towards the keybearer with its chains scratching the ground causing fire to erupt from them.
Teleporting behind the heartless, Aqua used thunder shot on it to regain the monsters attention. It hissed as the lighting struck its body and it quickly turned and did a spinning jump in hopes to slash her to bits. An explosion ringed out again as the foolish heartless landed on another mine square that she set up at last minute. A large light over came aqua as she changed into her Magic Wish command style.
The monster snapped its jagged jaws and a black sphere shot out hurtling to her. Aqua cast a quick round of triple firaga at the dark shot. Two of the balls of fire where able to destroy the manifested ball of darkness while as the third struck the animalistic beast dead in its left eye.
The heartless let out a loud screech as it tried to remove the burning embers from its eye socket to preoccupied to realize it was being attacked. Aqua send a salvo of different magic and physical attacks at the dark hunter while it was blinded and had activated her tire two command style Blade Charge. With the keyblade using pure light to resemble more like a sword, the keyblade master was able to hack and slash easily into the heartless as its black blood stated to drip from its increasing wounds.
The command style soon ended and Aqua had to back off again. When the black beast finally gained its composure, it decide it was tired of the little game it was playing with its meal. Letting out a silent roar a multicolored mist stated to surround its large body as its eyes stated to glow back from its yellow to dangerous red color.
It dashed once more at her before turning and stated to move fast in the surrounding area until all that was seen was a multitude of colors, the monster disappearing from sight as its body melted away into the swirling vortex it had created. Aqua couldn't keep up with its drastically increasing speed.
When the monster made its move it was like it was coming from different directions at the same time. A blue version of the heartless jumped out spinning at her direction. Aqua barely side step the assault only to have a green body to rip its claws into her back. The blue haired women gasped from the sudden surge of pain. A red body immerged from the vertex and tackled her two the ground before returning to the to the vortex that was stating to slow down.
The heartless became one again as it jumped ready to squash the women under its purple claws. Seeing the black being about to stomp on her, Aqua rolled to the side but couldn't avoid the shockwave it had created when it landed and caused her to fly out to the outer rims of the area.
She breathed out heavily as she tried to stand using the keyblade as a crutch. The heartless gave a mocking look pleased see the women in physical agony as it watches as the blood drip down her open back wound. She didn't hesitate to use curaga on the open wound, It had stopped the bleeding but the pain from it still remained.
She knew now that both her and the heartless were on their final legs as it was panting heavily as well. It let out one last roar before its entire body stated to change its colors again preparing for its final strike on the keybearer. Aqua had to end this before it could finished charging. Pointing the keyblade at the heartless, she focused her power to the tip of the blade and any of the black beast weak points preparing her shoot lock.
The monster started to run at her, its body still violently changing in different dark hues, and it leapt high in the air. Though it never hit Aqua nor did she had a chance to use her shoot lock when a giant red mass crashed into the heartless taking it out.
The Kyuubi was having such a hard time trying to keep in his excitement as he watched the fight. He was quite content on how the vixen was fighting the heartless that was at least his own current size if not slightly smaller, something that had earlier had irritated the fox.
He found the heartless to very dimwitted the way it fought, not concerned for its own safety. It only proved his own personal theory more that the only thing stupider and lower then a human was indeed a heartless. Never knowing their true potential.
The women on the other hand he had some admiration for. Some. She fought with a bit of cunning and mischief in her style. It reminded him of himself in a way. The way the kitsune would trick is adversaries or containers into using his power. He had even chuckled when she burned the dumb heartless's eye out.
It seemed like it was all fun and games to him until the black monsters body became covered in a strange mist. The demon king immediately felt the presser in the area change when that happened and made his nonexistent hairs stand on end. Then when it stated to spin everywhere, Kyuubi thought he was going to have a headache or a seizure from watching the different colors go by.
The faint smell of blood in the air alerted him that something had happen in the vortex. When it died down he saw the blue haired vixen just laying there and it made him panic slightly, but was relived when she was able to get away from the heartless from stopping on her.
"This has gone on long enough." He stood up. He had seen enough and had all the information he needed. He had no more use for the heatless.
He slunk is body to the ground as he stated to creep up to them. It stated from a trot to a run, then a sprint as it watched the heartless make its final move when it jumped into the air.
Kyuubi jumped in the air with it over the surprise looking women and that was the end of the heartless. The almighty fox's jaws crunched around the black monsters jugular and smashed right back to the ground with the fox on top of it.
It kicked and clawed for the Kyuubi to get of it but the attacks would go right threw the transparent kitsune's body. It eventually stopped struggling as its body became limp and slowly turned to ash in the fox's jaws.
Aqua was stunned at what had just happened. She was thankful though as she slumped to her knees as the adrenalin stated to subside the keyblade still in hand. As she looked up to the new beast in front her she noticed its evil crimson cat like eyes glaring at her. And the aura that covered it made her shiver and her heart pound faster out of fear. With just one look, it was obvious this creature held the utmost authority. And was far from being one of the heartless or an unversed.
The fox's eyes wondered to from Aqua to her weapon. The red monsters eyes retracted from the sight as he recognized it. A snarl ripped threw the demon's throat.
"Vixen where did you that that sword! There shouldn't be anymore wielders left." Aqua really wasn't expecting for it to talk considering all of the other being here have just been out to kill her. She must be loosing it.
"You can talk?"
"What are you stupid or something, of course I can talk." That was the last straw, she could feel her body start to lag as exhaustion from the days of continuous walking and the recent fight with a monster just to be confronted by another but talking monster.
"Are you listening? Answer me already damnit!" Her vision became blurry and before long Aqua passed out. The demon let out an aggravated sigh.
"Fine, I guess you should rest first after all you're no use to me half dead." Kyuubi said as he looked behind him to see of two more of his tails disappear and his body shrank once more. Only five left. The fox growled as he knew his time was stating to run out.
Every fiber of his being told him to take over her now, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. His heart panged every time he tried to think about it. He guessed it was just his honorable pride, not wanting to take over anyone without giving them a fighting chance. Then there was the other thought. The fact that her body not even survive the takeover and the demonic transformation that would go along with it in her weakened state.
When the keyblade disappeared, the kitsune shook his body as he walked around her several times pondering on what to do.
"The fact that you have the keyblade shows that you might be of more use to me then before." He spoke close to the unconscious body, "Taking you over would seem like a waste now. Rest for now I will be back for you later."
Kyuubi walked of into the darkness with his chakra leaking out of his body. He went off to go collect his thoughts and readjust his plans for the human. The expelled chakra wrapped around the clearing scaring off any uninvited quest. Some of it had washed over Aqua like a blanket, healing her of any excess pain might of felt.
It was the most peaceful sleep the keyblade master had have in a long time. Her body enjoying the warmth as memories of what use to be filled her dreams.
Me: And there is chapter 2. Aww does the big bad foxy care?
Kyuubi: Quiet! I do not care for something as low as a human.
Me: Right. Keep telling yourself.
Kyuubi: (Growls irritably) Where the Hell is the Vixen anyway?
Me: I don't know. I think she might of went out with that Terra guy.
Kyuubi: What! (Storms off to go find her)
Me: Anyway, I had one question on what Kyuu here will look like in the future and that my friends is (Enter drum roll here)…a secret. Right now he looks like a swirling bubbling mass of chakra with teeth and claws. Kind of like how you see him at the first shippuden episode. As for the future that is for you to guess and a cookie to who ever guesses right on whose body he actually takes over. It's not that hard when you think about it. Well until next time R&R.
