Hey there guys! This is my first fanfic so please don't flame me too much! That being said, any advice in the comments section would be appreciated! Special thanks to my friends Hans, Nidisha, Arjun and Vihaan ! Now onto the fanfic!
There once was a daring kitsune. She was young, beautiful and smart. Smart enough to know that for her children to survive this tumultuous world, the father must be strong and feared. So she had an idea. To find the king of curses and trick him into siring her child. So she did that exactly, for it was easy as kitsune are masters of trickery and illusion. After the King realized he was enraged, for he could not kill the kitsune as he was tricked into a binding vow. In a fit of rage, he followed the kitsune to her village and slaughtered the village. Out of a thousand, only a 100 escaped. The nine tailed warriors, stood no chance. After the king left, the survivors emerged from their hiding spots. That night, even the heavens felt the grief of the village, the smoke of pyres piercing the clouds and emerging in the kingdom of Amateratsu kami. That day, a pact was forged in blood: revenge on the king of curses. But first they rebuilt, observing the humans, and it was decided one of the kings lineage shall end his rule of tyranny. But in some time the king dissappeared. Everyone thought he finally died; but the kitsune knew that the king was simply biding his time. So they practiced, and trained and we're blessed with a child with the potential to avenge those lost that faithful. Little they knew, this was the doing of the Ancient Fox God. The God, who was extremely disturbed by the carnage caused by the King, sent a warrior down to our world to restore balance and kill the King. This warrior was The Guardian Of Second Chances, a divine warrior to protect against threats.
The Heian Era: THE DAY OF THE GREAT MASSACRE
"You basta--" a kitsune trys to speak, interrupted by a cough of blood, staining the kings hakama. His tails lie on the floor, nearly limp. A giant crimson x on his chest, leaking blood like a leaky pipe, his face covered with scars, a tachi still in his right hand. "You've taken everything from me. My home, my village, my family. If I can't kill you in this life, I'll do so in the next. I don't care how many reincarnations I'll take but I will kill you. That I swear upon.
"Silence, fool." A voice bellows from the king, deeper than the depths of Yomi. " Nothing can kill me. Even if you come back 100 times, I'll still kill you. For now I'll kill you. Cleave."
The word echos and a final cut appears on the warriors chest. He slumps and before he dies, he turns to his wife, beaten, bruised and sliced up like a onion. "I'm sorry. I was too weak. I promise I'll get revenge. Please... forgive me." A tear rolls down the warrior's eyes before his tails goes limp.
"Rise my child." A voice beckons, warm and Ancient, nearly... motherly.
The warrior awaken in a large garden, where sun rays shine not just warmth but... happiness? It's hard to explain but what is obvious is it radiates a positive glow. In front of the warrior, a beautiful lady stands. A mature lady with Fox ears and 9 tails. Her beauty is hard to explain, but a obvious fact is that she is more beautiful than any sight in his mortal life. Well maybe one thing...
"Hello child.", the voice speaks, each syllable radiating warmth.
"Inari No Kami" the warrior utters, utterly shocked. He stares for a second before bowing his head down to the Deity.
"Rise, my child. I need to speak to you. It is about the King Of Curses." Inari No Kami speaks ominously.
"What about that bastard?" The warrior says with obvious rage at the idea of him, before realizing what he said.
"Please forgive me for my profanity " the warrior says, before bowing down to her.
Inari No Kami lightly chuckles, before saying " Rise my child. No need to apologise."
The warrior raises his head "Thank you Inari No Kami "
The Kami continues " His actions are... concerning. Since we gods may not directly interfere, I have chosen you to avenge my children. In a thousand years from now, he shall reappear. Your job is to collect his 20 fingers and kill him. I shall handle his fate and your technique."
" Please forgive me for questioning you but why not now? Why in 1000 years? "
"If I sent you now, you would become a adult after he had disappeared. So I shall send you in 1000 years. I'll reincarnate you now. For you it will pass in a instant. Good luck, my child.
The warrior bows down to Inari No Kami " Arigatashi, Inari No Kami."
The warrior's vision goes white before waking up in the body of an infant.
The nurse exclaims "It's a boy! What is going to be his name?"
The mother, still a bit weak says " Byyako Tadashi. That's his name."
The mother smiles, happy and content
