[April 8] [Naruto] Two who walk
Title: Two who walk
Day/Theme: April 8: The world through my feet
Series: Naruto
Characters: Kyuubi, Shukaku
Rating: PG
This fox had shown itself under many forms before.
When young, it was the sound of hurried footsteps on a house's roof, whose origin can never be known. When it grew up enough to have control of its powers, it was with others like it the nightly prank on a less-traveled road.
Then it desired to become stronger and grow its tails, so left its former partners to the world of humans.
It was the courtesan who whispers misleading words to the daimyo. It was the jounin who requests a prized scroll from its students and gets lost in the night before the real one appears.
Now it was a traveling priest, its three tails hidden under the robe.
It walked that night on a lonely country road, when none but another priest showed up in the distance, walking on its opposite direction.
The fox wondered about this, but continued to walk.
Both priests crossed their ways for a moment.
“Good nights to you,” the fox said.
A friendly round face turned to him smiling kindly, the face of something who serves a woodcutter a stew of his own wife.
“And good nights to you, my friend.”
When the second priest turned around, a single tanuki tail showed up under its robe.
Satisfied, both of them went along their ways.
