Flameflower jumped. "I'm just thinking," She said, looking away. She wasn't about to tell Cujo the truth.

"And I'm a mutator," I grumbled, to low for the girl to hear. I trekked through the thick underbrush, glad I had jeans on. If I didn't, my legs would've been covered in scratches.

Flameflower looked down. She could still remember running for her life 5 years ago. "Daddy, where are we going? Why isn't mommy coming?" Flameflower asked, running with Whitefire, after their father. "We need to get away. You two are in extreme danger. I'm going to have you stay with a friend," Her father said, "In here," He said, turning into a cave. They entered the cave, and found a girl of about 10 sitting by a fire. She had strange clothes on, along with two Katanas on her back. "My name is Arashi. I am here to take you to my home," She said, looking at them.

I decided to just let the girl think; obviously she wasn't going to talk to me. I paused and turned around. "This is about where that clearing is at; do you think that they went straight through it or that they turned?"

Flameflower looked startled. She hadn't heard the question, but instead had heard a pitiful bark. She raced past Cujo, and found a little fox kit. She noticed two adult foxes a little ways over, sliced in half. She fell to her knees, and picked up the little kit. Tears she had been holding back escaped. "It's okay little kitsune[sp?] It'll be alright," She said, holding it close to her. She knew immediatly what had happened. "They were here," She said in a cold voice, that would even make the toughest person shiver.

I blinked. Who knew a little girl could sound that cold? I walked up behind her and put my hand on her shoulder. "Then we're getting closer. Let's keep going. What are we going to do with the cub?" I asked, gesturing towards the small fox cub in her arms; surely she didn't think we were taking it with us? It would be too difficult to keep track of, and it was a wild animal. It would probably bite one of us.

"Of course we're taking it with us! It's just a little cub! It'll die if we leave it here," Flameflower said, looking at Cujo with cold eyes. "When I find the people who did this...They're going to wish they hadn't been born after I'm done with them," She said coldly. She got up, and started walking. She held the cub close to her, and used her powers to bury the parents. A whole bunch of flowers appeared over the graves. The little fox curled up into her chest. "I'm going to name you Kitsune," Flameflower said lovingly. "Will get back at your parents murderers," she said, this time, not so lovingly. Her voice radiated[sp?] with killer intent.

"Of course we're taking it with us! It's just a little cub! It'll die if we leave it here."
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "You can't coddle a fox cub. If it dies, it dies. That's how life works. You can't go around trying to keep everything alive." My words sounded cruel even to me, but it was true. The thing would probably bite her and she'd end up with rabies or some other kind of weird disease that would end up killing her.
I watched as she buried the adult foxes and made flowers grow over their 'graves'. "I'm going to name you Kitsune," I heard the girl murmur. "We're going to get back at your parents' murderers." By the time she had finished speaking to the cub, her voice had radiated anger and hate. How could a little 'girl' sound so cruel?
I followed her as she began to walk away; I didn't want whoever had grabbed her sister to grab her, too. After this was over, I was going to go somewhere far, far away where I wouldn't have to worry about some little kid getting killed in the forest. I'd go someplace that was void of human life. Maybe I'd go up to Alaska or something; that seemed like a place only someone who was insane (apparently like myself) would go.

"I won't let it die. I'll kill myself before I let Kitsune die," Flameflower said coldly, looking over her shoulder at Cujo, killer intent filling the area. "Don't you dare say that I'll let her die!"
Flameflower began speaking to Kitsune, and Kitsune nodded to whatever she said. Flameflower sounded like she was speaking fox...

'Jeez, who put nails in your breakfast this morning?' I thought crossly, scowling at her when she turned her back to me again. When she started to yip like an animal I couldn't help but stare. It was so odd; the stupid little cub seemed to be listening, too.
"Let's stick to speaking English, all right?" I said, wondering if I should bring the girl to a mental hospital.

Flameflower didn't pay attention. Kitsune had just told her something about Whitefire! "Where is she?" Flameflower yipped. Kitsune looked at her, and then pointed towards the ground. "The bad men took the girl in there, then shortly followed her with a cat," Kitsune said.
"Come on! Kitsune knows where Whitefire and Nightfire are!" Flameflower said, this time to Cujo. Her eyes gleamed.

I blinked and rose my eyebrows. "And the fox told you this?" I said, my voice skeptic. I crossed my arms over my chest, waiting for the little girl to elaborate. This was getting way to weird for me; a kid talking to foxes just isn't natural. Well, nothing that had happened this day was technically 'natural', though. That just shows how twisted the world has become.

"Yeah...Kitsune told me," Flameflower said. "Come on! We have to go underground!" She began using her powers to create a hole in the ground. "Follow me!"

My mouth nearly dropped open. "I am not going into a hole in the ground and following you because some fox said to." I had goosebumps just thinking about going into the enclosed area. I backed up from the hole, stopping only when my back hit a tree.

"You know, it's better to face your fears rather than to let them control you. I don't want to go down there either, but I will do it if it means saving my sister!" Flameflower growled. She whispered something to Kitsune, and put her on top of one of the flowers, making the plant grow until it reached the top of the tree. "Stay there, you'll be safer," She said. She then turned, and walked down the hole, swallowed by darkness. Kitsune just whined. "Mommy!" She seemed to say.
