Neiara-sensei sat down in a chair next to a table. I took the other seat. "Do you want some tea, lil Kit?" she asked, handing me a cup.
To be respectful, I took the tea and drank lightly. "You've changed since you were a little fox demon," she said, "smells as if you had gotten into smoking."
I set the cup down and looked at the ground. "Yes, I had gotten into the habit two days ago."
She looked at me with interest. "Why did you start?" she asked with inquisitive eyes.
"I was afraid my sister wouldn't need me anymore. Adding to that, my rival Shukaku has been giving me a hard time," I said.
She quickly took the cigarettes out of my pocket. "At least it hasn't been too long. You can stop," she said, throwing them into the trash.
I looked up from my tea to Neiara-sensei. "Sensei, I need to find my way and my purpose again."
"I remember when I first met you. Do you remember?" she said.
It was a long time ago, but I managed to remember.

When I was little, I had no one. I had no parents or anything. I was alone. As a little kitsune, I mostly could only get berries to eat. I did anything I could to survive.
When I started to get older, demons started to follow me around. Some were protecting me, while some needed protection. I tried escaping them, yet whatever I did, they found me.
when I was older, the demons continued following me. I knew the only way to get rid of them was to get stronger, but how? I soon found that answer after I arrived to a ninja's academy. They were having an outside class. They did amazing things. Fire Style jutsus and transformations, I had to try and do them for myself.
Amazingly, it took only a few tries to nail the transformation technique. I transformed myself into a young kid to avoid the demons from following. The next day, I tried using fire style jutsus, but most were powerful so I had to train by lakes.
My techniques were spot on and I mastered quickly. I was amazed at what I could do, but that was nothing to what was going to happen.
One night, I was surprised by a sudden attack from a large tanuki demon. He was intimidating and since I was still considered a young kitsune fox, I couldn't do anything against that raccoon-dog's attacks. I was almost finished, but Neiara-sensei came just in time to protect me. She wasn't even in her demon form and she managed to take down the tanuki. She didn't kill it though, she just put it in an unconcious state.
She turned to me, I was still scared and she saw that. "Don't worry little one, it's okay. I'm just like you. I'm a biju."
"Biju?" I asked, calming down a little.
"Yes, I'm the King or as I say, Queen of Biju," she said, smiling.
I relaxed myself. "I can see you're a nine tailed fox. But, you haven't fully mastered your potential," she said, holding her hand out, "I can help you out, come with me."
I looked at her hand for a while, but I stood and inched my way over to her. "Come little one, you will have to train hard to master your powers, but you can take over as King of Biju. You will be kind and honorable and most importantly, your purpose will be more than you can imagine."
I smiled and she smiled back. "So, little one, what's your name?"
"Umm... Well... I had no family, yet when I first saw the sun, I heard a voice call 'Kyuubi'" I answered her.
"That is your name, it's cute," she said, rubbing my black hair as I was in a human form, "I'll nickname you Little Kit."
I smiled and walked with her.

"Thank you Neiara-sensei," I said, smiling, "I know what my purpose is. I've found my way once more."
I walked out of sensei's house and she smiled. "Good luck... Kyuubi."
