I had been strolling around the city for several hours, and now it was nighttime. There was a beautiful full moon out, and I was awed at the sight of it. Of course, I was practically the only one who had time to notice it in this busy metropolis. Suddenly, a guy bumped into me.
"Ouch!" I exclaimed.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know where I was going. It's hard because I hadn't eaten in three days." He apologized.
"You poor thing! My name is Asuka. I'll take you anywhere you want to eat," I replied. It was common sense that I should take the poor man out to eat. He bowed. We arrived at a large buffet. While I was paying for a table, he ate half of the restaurant's food. He sat in his chair and waited patiently for me to get my platter. The chair he was sitting in shattered into a countless shards. There was something up with this guy...
"Mmm, This food tastes great, doesn't it?" I said. The man looked like he was uncomfortable. When he finished, he shot out of the restaurant, and to my amazement, grew to a great height! He was still human, but out popped ears and a tail. I stared at him. Was he a...?
"Are you a bijuu too?" I asked. He looked like he was taken aback.
"Yes, yes I am. You are as well?" He replied. I nodded.
"What is your name?" I questioned.
"I'm Shukaku Ichibi, believe it!" He smiled, showing off an impressive set of fangs.
"As in the Legendary 9?" I continued with my questioning. He nodded in reply. I was the one taken aback now! He took a sake bottle from his pocket and drank it in one gulp. He looked pretty confused now. People were starting to give us strange stares, and I felt embarrassed. "Um... Let's go explain some things to each other in a more secluded place," I offered, and Shukaku agreed.
I led him out of the city and into the countryside. We sat in a field and began talking.
"So..." I began. "You are Shukaku Ichibi, member of the Legendary 9 and the bijuu of the sand?"
"Yes," He replied, followed by a small *Hic!*
"Um... okay... uh... I heard you went into the future and found out that Dark Kyuubi had taken over the world. Then, you were able to return to the past, or in other words, here, knowing what might happen in a few years. Is that true?"
"Yes. How do you know that?" Shukaku asked, even more confused than before. He took yet another sake bottle from his pocket and sucked it down.
"My bijuu showed me. She was able to separate from my body and give me those memories from the future. She's at my apartment right now."
"What's your bijuu's name?"
"Chishio. She's the two-tailed Red Panda bijuu!" I replied cheerfully.
"Chishio..." He repeated her name thoughtfully, as if trying to recall if he had met her before or not. This was interesting... I leaned in closely.
"Do you... know Chishio?" I asked suspiciously. I was so anxious, my ears and two tails burst out. What would be his response? I could only wonder...
Shukaku or somebody please continue!
