You were a kitsune, known for possessing great intelligence, magical powers and being able to live a long time. And you were one of them. Always on the run from hunters of the order who tried to capture you for your magical tails.

You were unaware that you had taken refuge in the lair of one of the most powerful Kitsune there were, the Kitsune Muichiro
