《Kitsune in Rockford》kit prologue 1: life as a kid
Advertisement
So I guess I should explain what lead to my “escape”... it all started a month ago or 122 years ago it’s hard to tell which. My story is really complicated. Well to start with my name is kit and I am a male of the white tail kitsune clan. Yup you heard me a male kitsune one of the few. Turns out it’s not impossible.
Male kistune, like females, are very handsome and alluring. Both male and female have the fox ears and tails kitsune are famous for and both have some form of kitsune power (magic). I am 6 foot one inch with silver hair and tail. pure white edging on the top of my ears and tip of my tail highlights my furs color. Strong chin and high cheekbones from my dad have made me ruggedly appealing.
Kitsune are descended from forest tribes in the Araparaho forest. because of that we have very human-like features really the only thing that sticks out is that we have fox ears and tails and these teeth are sharper than i remember. As tribal descendants we also have strict laws that have allowed us to survive this long on our own. Back then women ruled and men were slaves it was the worst life.
Then the world changed with magic that’s all I really got from history class I wasn’t paying attention much. Besides I was only there half the time as the rest of the time I was being the class gopher anyway. I've decided that’s where I’ll begin this story a flash back to when I was 8.
........
I wake up with my mom talking to me telling me to “GET UP it time for school!” What the heck what’s she doing here? I haven’t seen my mom for months she doesn’t come around here much, just checks up on me every once in a while. Why is she here???
“Kit get your but out of bed and get dressed for school I brought your cloths, you WILL not disgrace this family!” what in the world wait those cloths no. I. no. I have to wear that? Mom holding teal pants and a white shirt with a lace collar (lace!) is stalking closer to my bed. I look up into her eyes and fire in them and I know I'm not getting out of this.

It was terrible! I had to get dressed perfectly and I mean perfectly. Even my bow tie (one of the most evil inventions of the universe) had to be at the proper angle and distance from the lace (ugg) collar of my shirt. [15 min later] I can’t believe she dressed me like this! I tell Ashlie as we walk towards the school. As we get closer I notice an apprentice coming towards us as per law I get of the trail so she can pass, almost talking up the whole road by herself with only a few other females walking in the other direction.
“Wow look at her she must be studying in the scouts Mage School”, said Ashlie. “I know what you mean did you see the gold 1 tail fox design on her robes shoulder? So awesome! She must be of the Lenex clan.” “I hope that someday I am as great a mage as her!” “Ashlie you will do fine you have one of the greatest bloodlines your mom is a council member with mom.” “I know I'm just worried today is the first day of school after all what happens if I'm no good?” “You know that females have a high aptitude for fox magic, you will do great!” “Thanks Kit!” That ended our conversation as we walked into the small library where school was taught to 8-15 year old's.
........
“Welcome to class students my name is Femnora and I will be your teacher for the next 3 years (muttering “maybe longer if I don’t screw up”). Class I want everyone to take a seat in one of the desks ahead. Oh I see we have a male this year. 'Hello what is your name?’?” “My name is Kit Miss Femnora.” “Wow what a polite child your mother has trained you well (smile).
Please go sit in the very back on the left next to the door that seat is reserved for men.” “Thank you teacher” I said smiling. The next morning I woke up and it was the regular house keeper that woke me up I even had to wear that disgusting outfit again. How many of these did mom have made? I thought in despair. As I began to sit in my chair my teacher said “Kit it is the responsibility of a male to serve. You need to take attendance. Once you are done with that please go and tell the cook that this class will need meals for all the students attending. I’ll send you out to pick it up later.” this is the way my life went for three years.

.........
I wake up fully alert for a change and think that was a weird dream! What in the world was that even? It was like I was being carried around but my eyes couldn’t focus at all. Then I could hear all these different voices that I've never heard before. I ponder for a second and I still can't figure it out. Where in the heck did that dream come from? Looking outside I can tell its time for me to get ready so grudgingly I get out of bed to get dressed in that terrible outfit (remaid after a... prank).
Today was graduation for the class this year and it was also my birthday. Mom even said I could ask for a present today! I’m so exited going to school that o even skip a little bit. “Oh no I need to calm down if I get dust on my cloths and mom hears about it I will get in big trouble. I take a seat in class when Miss Femnora speaks, “Kit why are you sitting down you haven’t completed your jobs today?"
“Teacher my mom said that I could have a wish today so I decided to ask you if I could skip chores today.” ”Kit you need to do your duty and haven’t even taking the trash out today, so no.” “Why teacher it’s not like someone else can’t do it just as good as me? Like Ashlie or something.” the class went silent “Kit did you just compare me Ashlie to you and tell me that I should go pick up trash? A genius kisune of a full blood family to pick up trash?!”
“N,no that’s not what I meant.” I'm in deep trouble for a male to insult a female is a full on taboo, if that female was a pure blood or seen as a great prospect for the future of the clan. I don’t know what will happen but I’m screwed! My blood starts pumping with fear as I see disgust on the faces of my class mates around me and I start to run for the door tripping over my own feet. All the sudden I feel my feet go out from under me. Looking back someone had stuck their bag in-front of me to trip me!
Samantha one of my classmates started laughing at me and that set the rest of the class off. “That’s what you get for insulting a pureblood, boy!” my left leg feels numb from where it hit the bag. I have to get out of here before the pain hits! And I'm stuck in this hell. Yes I made it to the door. “I will be reporting this to your mother don’t come back to class until you have a note from her to give to me guaranteeing your good behavior.” “Yes teacher” crying as I make my way into the woods but there’s no escape it’s just a place to cry.
