Hello and welcome to the seventh chapter of Fox Demon. I have been debating hard how to move this forward and this one shall be entertaining and scary at the same time. I hope you all like this chapter.

Chapter 7: Inevitable

Three months after the killing of the traitorous nobles, I am settled and have fixed most of the castle. The six gardens have been returned to their former glory and better. The ponds have koi fish and many other types of fish in them. I have made sure that the palace is completely clean and repairs have been finished on the north and east wings while the south wing is nearly finished and the west wing is half way finished. Kyuubi is as always crazy; he has been demanding many things done other than my running of the castle. I have been delivering messages to the nobles and fighting small riff raff that have been threatening to take Kyuubi's throne. At least once a week Kyuubi has been fighting me and each time it is a close fight between us.

I walk through the halls looking at the décor that has recently been added. The walls of the dining room are covered in tapestries depicting fox demons. Each library has had all of the bookcases in it replaced. Kyuubi's study has been fixed and the things in it are new. His room's furniture has been redone but in the same coloring; my rooms have received the same treatment. Every servant who passes me has a smile on their faces. Things have become much better since I came here. When we arrived the servants never had a smile on their faces for any reason. Now they never go a moment without one on.

"Kyuubi-sama," a female voice whines.

I cringe at the sound and can barely hold back a shiver of hatred. Many female nobles have come to Kyuubi's castle once again in hopes of making him their mate but none seem to have made a scratch at attracting him. According to his banters every night after a review over the castle and the happenings of the day, Kyuubi believes every single one of them too weak to be his mate. He wants a strong female fox to be at his side who understands politics and is smart enough to hold a full on conversation with him without driving him up a theoretical wall.

"Seara, how are you this fine morning," Kyuubi asks her softly.

"I am fine. How are you, Kyuubi-sama," she replies with a fake smile.

"I am good but I have work to get done so please allow me to finish my trip back to my office so that I may get it done," Kyuubi says trying to avoid the mine field that this girl would be if he upset her.

"But Kyuubi-sama, you need to relax some. You work hard all the time and never get a chance to relax. How about we go to your office and I help you relax," she responds with a suggestive smile.

Girl you just made a major mistake. Kyuubi never allows a female who is not his servant inside his office for any reason. Any hint of anything other than work being done in his office angers him to the point of him wanting a fight which means later I will be in pain and bleeding. Fuck you, Seara. I cannot believe your stupidity and limited knowledge of your lord's favored actions and dislikes. I walk around the corner searching the garden as if looking for someone. I allow my eyes to catch sight of Kyuubi and I stop.

I bow at the waist before saying, "Master a message has arrived from three other Lords."

"Very well Kitsune. Sorry for this but I must go Seara," Kyuubi says in a fake sincere tone before walking out of the garden now having a proper reason to leave without giving offense.

Seara gives an agitated and angry look. I just shake my head and turn to walk away. Seara growls and I turn back to face her. She has a smirk on her face.

"Remember you are here alone, bitch. You have no power here and will never gain Kyuubi's affection or attention," Seara says still smirking.

"Did I ever say I wanted his attention? No I did not. I am here to repay a debt my people owed Kyuubi and I have no feelings for him. Warning to you girl, my master has no intention of mating you. Your seductions do not work on him. You are too weak to stand by his side," I reply turning to leave.

"Oh, I will make him love me one way or another and there is nothing you can do. When I am his mate I will make him banish you forever," I hear her whisper as I leave.

I know she did not mean for me to hear it but I did and I will make sure she never has the chance to become his mate. I came here just to serve him but over I have come to realize that he is not as bad as most people back in the human world think he is. He is the way he is to make sure that things run smoothly since he is ruler over fax demons. I sigh before walking off towards the kitchens so that I can make sure that lunch is almost finished.

(A/N: Now for a little surprise)

Kyuubi's POV

I stand around the corner and listen to the conversation between Kitsune and Seara. I hurry up the stairs towards my study. What is this feeling? Why did it hurt me to hear her say that she has no feelings for me. Is it possible that I have fallen for this human turned fox demoness? Damn me, how could this have happened? I am a lord for fuck sake and she is nothing but my slave like servant. I know that I should not feel this love for her but I cannot help it. She is strong, beautiful, loving, and smart. She is everything I could ask for and more.

She said she does not have any feelings for me so there is no way can come to love me. I will lose if I ask her to be my mate so I might as well not even try to make her love me. She will never love me no matter how hard I try or beg. She could never come to love the being she once considered a monster who inhabited the body of her best friend for many years until her friend's death and then took her away from her home only to force her to serve him. Yes she could never come to love this monster.

I make my way to my study and sit behind my desk to find that Kitsune was telling the truth not just making an excuse for me. Three messages are on my desk waiting for me. One is from the spider lord, Armon. Another is from the snake lord Hector and the final one is from the cat lord Ichi. I read each one carefully twice over to make sure I read them correctly.

"Kitsune in my study now," I yell out the window.

Sakura's POV

I run to Kyuubi's study quickly. I wonder what I have done wrong or is it something from the messages. It takes me a minute to get from the kitchens to Kyuubi's study. I open his door without knocking before bowing low. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Kyuubi pacing the floor furiously almost as if he is trying to make holes in the floor. It takes him a minute to realize that I am there and to turn and face me.

"Assemble the soldiers in the training grounds. The snake, spider, and cat demon lords have declared war on us. We have three months to prepare for war," Kyuubi hisses at me.

I nod my head before running down the stairs once more and towards the barracks. I yell at the soldiers to assemble in the training grounds in full gear in fifteen minutes. I can tell that they are all curious but I leave them no chance to question me as I leave the room. I head to my room to grab the armor Kyuubi gave me just in case someone did declare war on us.

I had not expected the lords to declare war on Kyuubi so soon and at one time. I hate it when demons are cowards like this. They are going to ruin all the peace and harmony that has finally started to return to this land. Now the land will be ravaged by other demons and become less beautiful once again. I will not sit back and watch as these lands are destroyed. I will fight to make sure all the hard work done by the people of Kyuubi's lands are not for nothing. Kyuubi shall not fall; he will win this war and all will be fine.

Well that is all for this chapter and it is action packed is it not. So did you all like the surprise or not. Should I do Kyuubi's POV more often or not? So war is on the horizon what is going to happen during the war and what will happen between Kyuubi and Kitsune. You will just have to keep reading to find out. Bye.
