It was a dark rainy night

"You must be insane!"Someone yell. They were thrown out of the house and a peal of evil laughter was heard. "You destroyed the entire family. You demon!"A rabbit yell at a shadow figure. It reveals to be a dark wolf. He laughs as he shows his spear.

"They were infected by evil. The gods revealed their nature to me, as they do you"The dark wolf said. They started sword fighting. "I tracked you down to bring you to justice!"The rabbit said. "I see the evil in this realm, Ronin. I am the definition of justice! The gods impart this skill to me to cleanse the world of evil!"The wolf said.

A figure appears behind him. She raise her bow and arrow and shot it. He quickly blocks it. He looks back and the figure disappears. "You're the evil one!"The rabbit said. The figure swings her spear and he blocks it. It was a fox. They both begin to fight until he pushes her.

She yells as her back hits the tree. "Who are you!?"She said. They heard a clap of thunder and they move away from the tree. It made a small explosion and they roll down a small cliff. The rabbit held the fox girl tight.

"I am Jei, the blade of the gods, "The wolf said as he raise his lance. They gasp. The fox girl aim her hand at him and lightning struck him. She groan and fell onto the rabbit's lap. "Sorry if...I wasn't...much help" She said. He held her close. "Thank you, Watashi no ai" He whispered.

Someone shook me gently.

"No...five more minutes," I said. "Cathrine," said a beautiful voice. I slowly open my eyes to see my boyfriend. "Hey Usagi, "I said as he smile. "Come on. We have a lot of traveling ahead of us" He said as he pets my head. I got off of him and we walk off.

I love traveling with him. We were in a forest and saw some black smoke. He looks at me. I nod then we ran toward it. It was a village. It looks abandoned. Usagi put his arm out to stop me. "I know you're here.  Come out!"He yells. A small creature came out and ran off.

I giggle. He looks and a female cat emerges. "Akemi," He said. "I'm glad you've come, "Akemi said then she gasp. "A kitsune! I have never seen one away from her temple" She said. "I am a one who doesn't have a temple, "I said. "I am so sorry to hear that, "She said.

"What happened here?"Usagi said. "A band of Samurai. They must have bought and Ronin. they were led by a mercenary called Sumo Kuma" Akemi said, leaning on her spear. "I have never heard of them, "Usagi said. "Neither have I," I said.

"All my samurai has been wiped out and many villagers too. I barely escaped. They ransacked the Village looking for the holy child but they could not find them. Come, Kintaro is this way. I hid him well" She said. We went to one of the abandoned houses.

Akemi shows us to a trap door. Inside was a cute pug boy. "It's about time! I was in there for days. How dare you treat me so disrespectfully! I don't like small spaces!" he said. And now it is kinda annoying. "This is the holy child?"Usagi said.

"Please humor him. Kintaro has been pampered because he is "the golden boy" destined to possess superhuman abilities, just not yet" she said then look at the pug. "My apologizes, Kintaro-sama," She said as they help him up.

"This is Miyamoto Usagi. He is a fierce swordsman and with his help, I will deliver you to the temple palace" Akemi said. "Bah! This sorry-looking long-eared? He looks like he couldn't deliver sushi to a banquet"Kintaro said then look at me.

"And who is this sad-looking creature?!"He said. "My name is Cathrine Kitsune. I am known-"I said then he gasp. "The Broken One, "He said. "Yes...that or I like to be called The Lonely Kitsune, "I said as I roll my eyes.
