CHAPTER FIVE

Harry was sitting off in a shadowed area outside the town. A place he found a little after he had arrived in the village. And it was a place that he went to when he wanted to be alone to think for a bit; a place that no one, beside Grap, really knew about.

Or at least to Harry's knowledge, no one else really knew about it. As he had never seen anyone else near or around said place whenever he was going to it. Which because of this Harry had labeled it his place at least in his mind he had.

Harry had been there for a while now, going over every fact he knew about the devil fruits, and mentally going over, as well as getting over, the fact that he had eaten the Kitsune Kitsune fruit in the first place. Something he still wasn't completely sure if it was a good thing or not. As he still wasn't so sure he liked what had happened to him even with the boost it was supposed to be giving him.

As he knew there had to be more consequence than just being weak in water, or it'd be too good to be true. Like there had to be another weakness, or something like that; Harry knew that to be true deep within his mind. And nothing would let him think otherwise.

Because as far as Harry knew, from the many books he had read in the past, there was no true power that didn't have a drawback to it or if not that a weakness of some sort. That or a certain way to lose or have that power taken in some way.

Which was way Harry still wasn't too sure about his devil fruit power he did receive/ Even if at the same time he also knew that sooner or later he was going to have to accept it as it wasn't like he could change what had happened anyway. There was a reason for the saying no use crying over spilt milk for a reason.

Harry was thinking on this, and trying to come to terms with it all, when the ears on top of his head perked up having heard something going off in the distance. Or to be more precise having heard a commotion going on a little bit behind him; just a couple of feet down from his hiding spot; which was pretty high up hidden in the mountain to begin with.

Extremely curious about this and wanting a distraction from the direction his thoughts had recently taken. Harry slowly creped forward to where the commotion was coming from. Making sure to be careful to stay in the shadows around him as he did so. Knowing that whatever it was going on down there, it would be best if he remained unseen; for the time being it would be.

Once Harry got to where he heard all the noise coming from, Harry swore he saw red for a brief second as he saw just what was going on. What he saw, that had him so steamed, was the mountain bandit from before.

The one that had made Harry hackles raise from the beginning, having his foot on Luffy's head; pinning him to the ground with it. He looked like he was preparing to kill Luffy. He looked like he was going to kill Harry first and only friend; his brother in all but blood.

Seeing this, Harry completely lost it; not noticing the fact Shanks and his crew had appeared as he did so. In fact, Harry didn't notice anything but the fury he was currently feeling at the fact the bandit dared threaten something, someone, that was his.

Coating his vision blood red as said fury took over. He didn't even take a bit of notice to the fact his body was shifting into something different all together because of how overwhelming his anger was. All he knew was that he had to get that bandit off Luffy, and he had to get him off NOW.

Unknown to Harry he had shifted into his fully animal Kitsune form, and he was now a dark red, nearing completely black, fox like creature with two tail, a mouth full of large very sharp looking fangs, and glowing blood red eyes; he was also about the size of a Dire wolf.

Which combined with the aura of pure rage he was giving out was actually a pretty terrifying sight to the mountain bandits. Especially since it had come out of nowhere and seemed to be aiming all of its bloodlust at only them; seemingly ignoring everyone else there.

The lead bandit, the one who had Luffy pinned down, seemed to realize just who or what the monstrous creature in front of him was. Or at least he had an idea what was setting him off, because he pulled out his gun and pointed it towards Luffy; before saying to the enrage Kitsune in front of him.

"You seem to be angry about us hurting this boy here. Well, if you don't want me to shoot him right here and now in front of you, you'll back down, right now!"

An ominous growl escaped Harry's lips after this was said, as he banged his tails down hard enough to create a crater in the ground behind him, it almost looked like he was going to refuse. But much to the bandit's pleasure, who had gotten even paler when they saw just how strong the creature was, Harry seemed to do what was said to him. As he took a step back away from the bandits.

This put a please look on the leader's face. That is until the Kitsune-Harry, in blurring speeds, launched himself at the one pinning Luffy down. Teeth gripping tightly on to the bandit's arm, the one that was holding the gun pointed at Luffy's head, and bit down as hard as he could; breaking through both the skin and the bones of said arm as he did so.

Screaming in pain from this, the leader lashed out with his other hand and hit Harry in his side. But by doing this he did exactly what Harry had hoped he would and took his attention off of Luffy. Who immediately used the fact that the Bandit wasn't paying attention to him to his advantage and lashed out at said bandit; knocking him off balance enough to get him off of him.

After this happened, the bandit became in raged and started charging at Harry, who was still growling and snapping at the bandits. With said attacker believing the fact if the fox creature hadn't of come everything would have gone like he had planned.

Luffy seeing this, and somehow knowing that the Kitsune was Harry, charged at the bandit that had been holding him down. Showing the same determination that Harry showed about not letting his friend get hurt.

Unfortunately, the Bandit wasn't exactly unskilled and, even with his injured unusable arm, was able to get close enough to Harry, who was still unused to his new from, to put a gun, which he was holding in his uninjured had, at his furry head.

Fortunately for Harry, and sadly for the bandit, Harry's tails seemed to have a mind of its own; something Harry knew he would have to work at controlling later on. Because before Harry could even react to his situation one of his tails had grabbed the bandit's arm and jerked it up; making the shot the bandit had just fired missed him completely.

But this misfire seemed to be all Shanks and his crew could take because before either Luffy or Harry could blink the pirate where on the bandits taking them all down with incredible ease.

While all Harry and Luffy could do was watch slacked jaw as the pirate easily dispatched the bandits. Making it look as simple as they were breathing as they did so. In fact, it took them less than a minute to deal with all of bandits, and Harry got the feeling that they hadn't been trying to be quick about what they were doing either.

Luffy and Harry, seeing that the battle was over, not to mention that all the bandits where now gone, calmed down. Harry more visible then Luffy. Because his fur went form the jagged, sharp-edged battle-ready fur it had been.

Which oddly enough looked both like a form of amour as well as something that would be razor sharp to the touch. Something that was proven by the deep cuts in the leader bandit's hand from when he grabbed onto Harry's head when said bandit had been too enraged to actually feel the pain said action had caused him.

Back to a more slick and silky looking fur. Which now looked as if it was softer than silk and begged to have had ran through it. Not to mention his eyes had gone from the blood red that radiated blood lusted they had been back to his normal emerald-green eyes.

Which all combined with the disappearance of the aura he had been giving off when he had been in his fighting mode, made Harry look like a much more inviting, very cute, sight. Seeing as this form wasn't nearly as threatening as his previous one had been and in fact looked a lot more elegant as well as inviting then the one, he had just moments ago. This was probably one of the main reason Makino recovered as quick as she did as she came over and started petting him; all the while softly talking to him.

"Harry that was really brave of you. But are you like this and how did your form change again like it did? I mean just moments ago you look so terrifying and now…is this because of your devil fruit? I mean I have read somewhere about Kitsunes having more than one form and how those forms can change depending on the circumstances…maybe this is one of your Kitsune forms."

Here she paused and started scratching Harry's ear, which nearly made Harry go boneless from the pleasure it was making him feel; much to everyone around him amusement. Before continuing on, her voice taking a slightly wistful tone as she did so.

"Though I wish this form of yours was a little smaller…" Harry hearing this and thinking only of the pleasure he was currently feeling unthinkingly thought. 'I wish I did too.' Then before he could take this though back, and much to his dismay, Harry felt himself shrinking down in size until he was no larger than a small kitten; a very small, very much fluffy kitten.

Eye wide with both dread and horror Harry looked up and Makino. Only to immediately wish that he hadn't and had instead taken off running the very second he could. Because before he get away Makino had him in her hold and was squealing loudly about how cute he was; causing Luffy to fall on the ground laughing.

Seeing this and feeling completely mortified Harry close his eyes before wishing with everything he had to be back in his human form. Concentrating on nothing else but being in his human form. As he did this, Harry didn't notice that he had shifted once again as he was too absorbed in how good being petted felt; that is until he heard renewed laughing.

Dreading what he'd see, Harry slowly opened his eyes. Only to go completely red in the face when he noted that he had transformed back in his human form; only he was still in Makino arms as he did so.

Embarrassed Harry tried to get down from Makino's arms only to find out that he couldn't. Because Makino in no shape and form was going to let him go; instead, she was petting his ears and going on about how cute they were.

Knowing he wasn't going to get away now, and knowing if he tried anything else, he would just get more embarrassed Harry settled down in Makino's hold and let her continue to pet his ears; after all the petting did feel really good.

Plus, at least he could take a little pride in the fact he still had his clothes when he transformed back; after all transforming back into his human form naked would have been a lot more embarrassing then what just happened…. right?
