A Kitsune's Past

Everyone I know says they grew up happily. They had a family with no complaints at all. They were loved... Yet, not everyone is happy. Not everyone has this type of past, in fact. A kitsune named Kyuubi Yoko went through this as a small kit pup. Twists and turns enveloped life everywhere that he turned and nothing seemed to stop any of it. Desperately, he wanted this to stop. Wanted it to end. He wanted to die...

On a stormy night on October 9th, lightning flashed across the sky like an arrow released from a bow. This wasn't all that was occurring though. Inside a small hole-like cave, a todd (male fox) sat patiently and watched observantly at the entrance. A vixen lie deeper inside the cave, but was in pain. The todd entered deeper into the den, sensing something was wrong.

The vixen looked at the kit pup, but had no look of love on her face. She instead had a look of intent to kill in her eyes as she stared at the young pup. Why you ask? Her pup was not a regular fox. This hadn't occurred in many years, until now. She had a fox pup - no, not a fox - but in her eyes, an accursed demon.

The pup was blinded, had fuzzy red fur, and nine small tails. The mother sensed the overwhelming chakra power the kit had and regretted ever giving birth to such a monstrosity. A demon's chakra was embedded within the little pup, giving the little fox nine tails and an overwhelming power that struck fear inside the two foxes.

All was quiet in the den for moments, but soon the new mother nodded and picked the little pup by the neck. The little fox had no idea where he was headed. He was still suffering blindness, but it started becoming clearer. The fox sneezed as the rain poured onto his little head. What is going on?... Where am I going?... It's so cold...

The vixen sat the kit down on his back. The pup rolled over and sneezed again. His eyes started to open and he saw two shadows. Huh? What is that?... Who's there?... What's going on?

The little fox tried to stand on both his feet, but fell to the wet grass. His beautiful red fur was getting mud in it, but did the parents care? No... They wanted to right the wrong they brought into this world. They wanted to destroy that which could've killed them. They cared of no one else, not even the tiny pup. All they wanted was their safety back and it would be guaranteed with this wretched demon curse away.

Mother?... Father?... Is that you?

The forms of the two foxes transformed into humans. The little pup looked up, the rain flowing like tears on him, but to those two so called "parents" it would be over soon... "Good bye Kyuubi, you wretched Yoko."

Then, it was quick and in a flash. In some how, some way, the poor fox pup was pushed off the cliff into a raging river below. Thunder crashed and lit up the sky like fire. Below, to the poor pup, it was a tsunami of death flowing over his head. Why?... Was all he could think of before blacking out.
