《Hikari Okami: Kitsune Series》Ch. 28: Kitsune Prince
Advertisement
Miyako received a call from her manager while on her lunch, that at the back of the store she had a visitor.
“I have never had anyone come to see me at work, I wonder who it might be. It had better not be Hikari sneaking away from the house to visit.” with that thought in mind, she went to the back of the store, only for her to see a man she didn’t know.
“Good afternoon, I was told you wanted to see me. I don’t mean to be rude, but who are you?” as she asked this, she saw her manager cast a curious glance towards her and the stranger.
“If it is no trouble to you, can we step out so that we can talk in private?” he said, not bothering to answer her question.
Deciding to co-operate with him, they headed out of the store, not once did she turn to look at her boss; for fear he may get the impression that she was in a dangerous situation and call the police.
Outside, he turned, saying, “I know you have a kitsune staying with you.”
On hearing this, she gasped in surprise.
“How did you know I have someone staying with me? Her voice held a hint of fear.
“Let me warn you, if you decide to take sides with the kitsune, you will not be spared. This is a message from my master, you will do well to heed the warning.”
“Who are you and why are you threatening me?” she asked.
“You do not need to know who I am, separate yourself from the kitsune. If not, you would not be shown any mercy,” in a voice filled with menace.
“I just need to know what he may have done to deserve such hatred.”

“Hatred, you say? This has nothing to do with you, so don’t involve yourself in the matter of us, yokai.”
Afterwards, his body slowly became as the wind, blending with the very air until she could no longer see his form. She turned to head back inside, praying what she had seen was not seen by her manger.
“I’ll have to find a better time to tell Hikari, maybe after we come back from our sightseeing.”
Forcing herself not to think about the unusual event that occurred, she continued the daily routine at her job, relieved that the next day was going to be a day off to spend with Hikari.
“I wonder if it was because of what the man said that makes me wish for tomorrow to come so quickly,” she thought.

Code Name: GLITCH
Major Xiomar Haydn is a damn good soldier, and an even better mechanic, although he does have a tendency to get himself thrown into the stockades for getting on the general's bad side. To keep him busy and out of trouble, Xiomar is assigned the task of repairing an old Mech that hasn't been touched in fifteen years. He knows he can fix it--he's Chief Mechanic. What he doesn't know, however, is that GLITCH has a mind of its own. Literally. In the midst of a war between two countries, Xiomar and his newly-repaired Mech are caught in the middle. The enemy is trying to obtain GLITCH's technology... the power to give their own Mechs sentience and dominate the world. Xiomar finds himself pondering the morality of forcing a sentient being to fight on his behalf, and what that means for him as a dutiful soldier. With the future filled with uncertainty, Xiomar and GLITCH are certain of one thing--no one's going down without a fight.

Hi there, my name is Jason Corvus, you can call me Raven. My parents really (like a lot) wanted to have a boy, so when they found out that I was a girl, they still put me a boyish name.
