The small cub didn't know where she was, the last she remembered was been taken from her mother before been flung into a small cage and falling unconscious once she hit the metallic bars, now she was in a cage in a strange room, everything was white, small containers of different shapes and sizes, each filled with a different liquid were scattered about.
She slowly rose to her feet and poked her head out through the bars and looked round and was greeted by the site of a human, he was fairly tall but to her he was huge, he had brown hair and wore a white coat, he had his back to her.
She let out a low yelp and began pushing herself against the back of the cage, she knew humans, even been so young, she knew what they did, they destroyed everything they touched, he mother's words echoed throughout her mind.
'Remember my child, if you ever find yourself around humans blend in, do not let them know what you are' her voice had been soft, caring and filled with love, almost angelic to this small cub, she slightly nodded her head and began to focus, her body began to shift and change, her fur shrank back into her, the hair on her head grew longer, her eyes grew and her fangs shrank away and became small and blunt, her paws mutated as did her front legs and soon where once cowered a small cub now crouched a small human child who couldn't have been more than a year old with fairly long hair for her head, her hair fire coloured much like her fur and her mother's had been.
The man turned at hearing her yelp and lowered himself and where he was expecting to see a small fox he saw a small child, cowering at the back of the cage, the sight pulled at his heart strings, the fear in her eyes was heart breaking.
'I can't do this' he thought to himself, his eyes shaking, he knew what he was supposed to do, study her, learn about her abilities, see if they could benefit mankind, learn everything about her and then when the time came like it always did when discovering new species he or another doctor would have to…dissect…her. True Kitsune were rare, many knew that, but other than them been mystical and strange creatures and powerful no one knew anything, in an old times Kitsune were hunted until only a few remained and now researchers everywhere wanted to get their hands on them.
'I can't do it…I can't let her be…I can't let…that happen to her' he thought to himself, his fists clenching and even shaking, he knew it would be very unlikely he would be dissecting her, he would most likely determine if her powers could be used for mankind before going back onto a past project but still, he was human and he couldn't let such a fate befall a child, ignoring how hypocritical he'd been, he wasn't affected when he heard an animal was getting dissected but when she could take human form he couldn't even imagine the word.
"I've got to get you out of here" he muttered, glancing round at the camera in the far corner of the room, he scowled before fishing a small device from his pocket.
'I knew this thing would come in handy' he thought as he grew a small smirk, he pressed his thumb against the one button on the small device, it was small, grey and in a disk like shape with a couple wires poking out, showing clearly it was only a prototype, a prototype of a handheld device used to generate a magnetic pulse, if his theory was correct it would take out the entire floor of the building, then again he had yet to test it.
The minute he pressed the button the device did its job, the lights turned off, as did the small red bulb on the security camera, proving it was off. Next he opened the cage before pouring some acid onto the door to make a small hole so it looked like the Kitsune had gotten out on its own during the confusion.
He reached in and took the naked little girl into his arms and hid her in his coat before heading out of the lab and down the dark hall way, glad he was right and that the whole floor would be out of power for a couple more minutes, he rushed down the stairs, inwardly cursing that he couldn't use the lift and been on the third floor it was a lot of stairs, he knew he wouldn't have long now before someone found out the fox was gone, especially since the power would have returned by the time he was half way down.
The small girl let out a small whine and stirred within his hidden grip, since waking up she had been terrified and now she was petrified, a human was carring her in the dark and her mother was no where to be seen, she was defence less.
"Shh, shh, it's okay I'm going to get you out of here" he said, his tone quite and gentle, a tone she would never associate with humans, it wasn't long after that she felt a small breeze and began to grow cold without her fur to keep her warm, it was apparent that the human was now outside, he stopped, she head a loud beep, beep followed by another sound she had never heard before.
He unlocked his car and quickly slipped in before gently placing the small girl on the passenger seat and belting her in before closing his own door and putting his own belt on and starting in the car, he glanced at the girl to see she was looking around terrified, he lightly placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her a comforting smile when she looked at him, she seemed to calm down but not much, it was then he recalled the girl wasn't human, she was a Kitsune so he moved his hand to her head and began to lightly scratch her behind the ear, the girl closed her eyes and grew a small smile, he grew his own smile.
'So even in human form she acts the same as a Kitsune or any other member of the canine family' he mused, then again what would he expect from a puppy disquised as a human who had no idea how to act as a human, he began the drive home, beginning to worry about how he would explain this to his wife.
A/N Sorry another short chappie, they should get longer the further I get into this fic, PLZ REVIEW and as always I am open to any suggestions you may have, it's been a long time since I wrote a Kim Possible fic.
