[SP-F2] «Feeding the Enemy» COMPLETE!

[Shirosu 0]

Shirosu eyed the NPC gypsy with mild surprise, for quite some time now she had been wondering how Mack got his hands on the little cub chewie, now she knew. The NPC lady had been talking about that sometimes, if you feed a monster, they would become a familiar. Looking a the quest screen that popped up Shirosu grinned and accepted the quest eagerly, she had been wanting a little furry creature to hang out with for awhile now and this seemed a better opportunity then she had been presented with for awhile now. Turning around Shirosu decided to try on the second floor in the expansive forests for a suitable companion. After leaving the portal in Urbus Shirosu left the town to go searching through forests.

While she walked, Shirosu saw no harm in attempting to find a few materials, seeing as she would need to start saving up for her business.  And while she currently saw nothing she didn't take it to heart and instead enjoyed the calm atmosphere of the forest. She considered what she would like as a partner, nothing too large, and easy to take places with her. Out of the corner of her eye Shirosu thought she saw something white, but when she turned to look, there was nothing there, shrugging her shoulders she continued to plod along.

Still seeing nothing of interest Shirosu huffed in disappointment, but in reality she didn't expect much. All of a sudden her foot didn't touch ground and with a shout of surprise she fell face first flat into a dried up stream. Spitting dirt out of her mouth Shirosu spewed a couple of choice swear words, her face going red from the fall. After her barrage of cus words stopped Shirosu paused and swore she heard something close to a tiny laugh, like tinkling bells, "Is...Is anyone there?" She questioned, getting a chill. When there was no reply she wacked herself in the head and scolded herself for being foolish.

Standing up and brushing herself off Shirosu growled in frustration at her incompetence and stormed off, not paying attention to where she was going and this time planted her face into a tree trunk. "Ow!" She exclaimed rubbing her forehead and finally getting mad flipped the tree off before climbing out of the stream bed and finding the path she was on before. Sighing she felt like this would be a long, long day, and one in which luck would not be in her favor.

Muttering to herself Shirosu didn't make her displeasure hidden as she stomped through the forest, her hands on her hips in a bold manner. In the distance she heard the tinkling sound again ever so slightly and looked up her eyes narrowing and trying to make out shapes from the near by foliage. Thats when she saw the hint of white in among the green again. "What the..." She said her eyes focusing intently on the spot, but just as quickly as she had seen it the blur of white disappeared. Her curiosity getting the better of her she turned of the trail and went deeper into the woods looking for the source of her interest.

Chasing the blur through the undergrowth lead to Shirosu becoming more irritated, but curiosity always won out over her annoyance. She leapt into a clearing a skidded to a halt , the white blur temporarily forgotten, when in front of her she saw a wolf, "Seriously" She mumbled. Both her and the wolf lunged at each other, but instead of attacking Shirosu threw up her knife in a last second block and sent the wolf backwards. She grinned and said," Come on baddy, lets have a little duel, and no, your not the right kind of beast to be my familiar, have fun in pixel heaven"

Bouncing on the balls of her feet Shirosu threw the wolf off her one more time and when it it the forest floor, she sprinted around to the hind end of the creature and reversed her grip on the blade before using all of her might to force it into the thick hide. The wolf howled in pain and just as Shirosu was about to dart out before resuming her attack, the wolf spun around and nicked her arm with its teeth. She jerked its head away with a quick backhand and a glare before dancing away, she wasn't to worried, seeing as it had only been a scratch.

Shirosu spun around and to her dismay the wolf was already right next to her its gaping jaw aiming at her face. Throwing up her arms protectively the wolf got a good hold on her arm and she flinched, even though she knew she couldn't feel pain. In retaliation she used her knife hand to slice at the Wolf's muzzle until it wined and let go from the onslaught. Giving it one extra poke on the head Shirosu retreated even further to ensure she had reaction time for the next surprise attack the wolf presented her with.

For her final attack she decided to go acrobatic and took a flying leap into the air. Dumbfounded the wolf started looking in circles but didn't realize what was happening until her knife met its scull. Melting away into pixels Shirosu picked up her third wolf pelt and added it to the ever growing collection that was her work materials. Glancing around she sighed, having no clue what she wanted as a familiar. then she heard the tinkling, getting up she walked in the direction of the sound, a suspicion starting to form.

With the tinkling getting louder Shirosu was sure she must see the origin of the noise soon, and she did find them, it came in the shape of a beautiful snow white, that had two black tipped tails and a look on its face like that of the cat that just caught the canary. Sitting in a branch high above her the fox looked down, a tinkling sound, akin to laughter coming out of its partially closed mouth. Startled she pointed accusingly at the fox,"You! were you the one that lead me on a gooses chase and straight too the wolf?" the fox tilted its head as if to say it had no clue what Shirosu meant the turned around to hop gracefully among the undergrowth of the forest,"Hey! Wait!" she called after the fuzzy creature, following it deeper into the woods.

Chasing the fox wasted quite a bit of time as Shirosu stumbled over logs, fell in holes, and overall made a mess of herself, all the while the fox kept on its little laugh, leading her deeper and deeper into the forest. Skidding to a halt she realized what the little critter was doing and glared at it a few feet in front of her. "Are you trying to lead me to a badder monster?" she grumbled, then something out of the ordinary happened, it shook its head and flicked its tails as if to say come. Cursing herself Shirosu decided against her better judgement and followed the fox.

Pausing for a second, Shirosu bent over to catch her breath and at her feet she saw something that seemed to sparkle a little, Bending down she scooped it up, but the item was sadly unrecognizable and non useable. tossing it into the bushes she turned back to the little fox and sighed, "How much further?" she grumbled, tiring of plodding through the forest.  In reply the fox lifted both its tails into the air and happily prance further in front of her. Groaning Shirosu stretch backwards and tripping over another root, followed the fox some more.

Finally stumbling into a clearing the fox sat down and revealed that held within this break in the forest sat a beautiful medium sized shrine of Japanese architecture. "Woah!" Shirou exclaimed approaching the shrine, but before she could get too close she heard a dull thud and turning saw that the little fox that had lead her had collapsed onto its side. Turning she approached it warily, looking for any traps, but it didn't move, and when she got closer she saw under its status bar that it was currently poisoned.

Rushing over Shirosu reached down and scooped up the little creature, and gasped, "Where you poisoned the whole time???" There wasn't anything she could have done, but she was greatly confused at the situation. The fox barked weakly and pointed towards the shrine with its tail," Why did you lead me here?" she asked in confusion to the dieing animated character. It barked one more time, pointing more urgently with its tail before the poison drained the rest of its life, and it dissolved into pixels in her arms.

Looking at her hands where the little fox had died Shirosu decided to check out what it had been indicating so urgently about. Approaching the shrine with caution Shirosu gently laid a hand on the door and pushed it open. What greeted her was a little, frightened, growling ball of white fluff. Leaping with shock, Shirosu's hairs stood on end, before she calmed down and laughed at her skittishness. Taking a better look at the fox pup revealed it to have three tails instead of its mother's two and piercing Blue eyes that held quite a lot of fear in them. Scrolling through her inventory All the while talking calmly and softly, Shirosu grabbed a piece of the beginners bread and held it out, tearing a small chunk off and throwing it at the Foxes feet.

Shirosu sat on the deck that surrounded the shrine, still murmuring comfortingly pup, trying to be non threatening so that the cub would eat the bread. Slowly inching forward the little pointy nose snapped up the first small piece and started to probe for more. holding the loaf in her lap Shirosu slowly got the little one so come right next to her before giving it another piece of the bread, that too disappeared down its gullet. Getting more confident it placed a paw on her lap and finally happy with the progress Shirosu presented it with the rest of the loaf. It fell upon the loaf ravenously, as if it hadn't eaten in days, and when it filled itself, a screen popped up.  Name your familiar? is asked and with a tiny squeal Shirosu placed her hand on the screen and thought about what to name the little one that had curled up in her lap like a cat.

Before she could name it Shirosu needed to know the little one's gender. Using the oldest trick in the book, instead of using her head and checking its health bar, Shirosu disturbed the little foxes sleep by picking it up and turning over the disgruntled creature. "Ok!" she said in excitement over the complaints and yips from the young one " I have a little boy fox here."  turning back to the naming screen she pondered a few more seconds before ultimately settling on the name Gin, and not like the booze, but instead for the Japanese word for Silver, thinking a japanese name would be suitable considering where she found him. "Hello Gin!" she said fondly patting the soft ears, all three of the tails wagging in unison.

ooc: OTL i for got young foxes were called kits

"Ok then Gin" she murmured quietly, stroking his head,"We gotta find a way out of the forest. i'm personally kinda lost" The little fox looked up at her inquisitively and lept up onto her shoulder and just like his mother had, pointed with his tail in a direction. Shocked she stared at Gin and then laughed," Guess you guys understand basic speech huh?" the little fox kit yipped and Shirosu felt her heart melting in affection for the kit, even though she had only just met it. Turning in the direction Gin pointed Shirosu started her trek back through the forest.

Taking it slower this time Shirosu decided to try once more while she walked to find materials, her little friend comfortably seated around Shirosu's neck like a fluffy scarf. She didn't care when she saw nothing because she kept up a constant chatter with the kit, and it seemed to be paying very close attention to her every word, every now and then she would hear a slight tinkling sound come from the foxes mouth, like laughter, when ever she related something that was semi amusing. Shirosu continually got distracted by its three tails as they often flicked up into her face over her nose, making her sneeze on multiple occasions and resulting in a laugh from the kit.

Finally making it out of the forest after a good hour or so,Shirosu gave a quick glance backwards and the said to Gin, "Say good bye little one" the little fox perched on top of her head, let out on little yip in the direction of the forest before crawling back down to her shoulders and snuggling in next to her neck.  With that clouser from the fox Shirosu turned and jogged into the town where the fox curiously glanced around at all the players and food stall, but never leaving her shoulder. putting a hand on Gin she said, "time to get you home."
