Kitsuneko

One day Kitsuneko was enjoying a typical day by a lake a few miles from a small trading village she frequented for snacks or just to get into trouble. Tail thumped and sake sipped. Just another lazy day. Just then the sound of foot beats caught her attention and poof! she quickly transformed herself into a rock. The foot beats belonged to four commoners who were carrying a carriage. Setting it down. The carriage door was opened and out stepped a average female of five five with long black hair, and brown eyes. Skin as white as a lotus blossom. Dressed in fine silk kimono. Her hair put up and held by a gold headpiece of an unfamiliar design to the kitsune. As naughty as it was she watched the woman un garb and bathe in the cool waters of the lake. The woman looked to one of her guards as she dressed herself. "This is such a lovely place. To lovely for mere commoners to bathe. Make it known that no one but myself shall set foot near this place." The guard nodded and went on his way. The woman moved back within the carriage, and it was hoisted and began to move off. Kit was appalled. " How dare that mortal think she can own anything of nature." She said to herself and poof she was appeared as one of her guard's running to catch up. " Why so slow" One snapped at her. The now male kit looked to the guard and bowed. " A thousand apologies. i had to go and relive myself. " Ask permission or it will be ten lashes next time!" Kit bowed her head again and moved along with the caravan through the city. Entering a large manor. Stopping outside the entrance within the courtyard. Seeming to go back on patrol she rounded a corner and poof she would transform again. This time into a cat. Moving now with more freedom she spied the service entrance and quickly slipped through without detection, or anyone really caring it seemed. The kitchen smelled wonderful, but she had a noble to teach no time for food. Following her nose she found the woman's bed chamber. Reverting back into her normal form she moved to the wardrobe. Opening it up she looked through it and found the most lovely garment of the lot. Taking it. she examined it noticing the stitched pockets within the inside of the garment. Time to find some loose change she figured. Rich people usually had money just laying around. Sticking her hand within one of the pockets. Digging deep. until her shoulder was nearly in said pocket. She blinked and smiled. A magic garment. Well it was hers now. Removing those peasant clothes and adorning herself with that kimono. Murring at the feel. Now time for part two of the lesson. She poof-ed once more into a fly and flew up into the rafters and hid until night fall. When all had went to bed she flew down next to the bed and poof-ed back into the fox demon form once more. A soft near silent chanting and wave of her hand over the sleeping form., and out a window she moved scurrying back out of the manor and into the forest and home with a sense of pride. The next morning the the vain one woke up and sniffed. A horrible stench. Looking around but finding nothing save. Instead of her silks she was in dirty rags of clothing! She cried out. Guards of course rushing in with wide eyes. " What have you done with our lady!" The woman wide eyed rose quickly. " I am your lady you fool I was vandalized in the night!" She cried out the guards rushing to her and grabbing her arms. Pulling her out. " Where have you taken our lady" They commanded again. Befuddled she looked around frantically, and in the reflection of one of the guard's shoulder guards she saw what she was. Her face lost it's luster, and hair grayed ever so slightly. " Who did this to me?" I'm your lady." She whined to no avail. " The woman is crazy so it would not be proper to kill her for insanity. Banishment would be better. Let the forest kill her!" With that she was ousted from the manor. Heart broken without her luxuries she fled the village. Kit watched from a tree overlooking the now liberated lake. Sipping her sake and rubbing the material of her kimono. Perhaps she would find the woman and reverse it, but right now she decided to take a bath.
