I watch you climb the steps to the shrine from a branch above the staircase. My glowing yellow fox eyes narrow with a trickster's intent. I let my thick leg swing down from the branch, planting the paw in your face with a sly, lilted giggle. As I watch you fall onto your back, I drop onto you. I am a tall kitsune female. A yōkai fox spirit. My fur is white, with red markings like a kabuki mask. I pin your limbs with my paws and stick my pink tongue out. Time for fun. "Oops, did I do that?"
