Tamamo stopped fanning, and turned to Rifner.
"It was some time ago..."
A village was being set ablaze, burning everything. In the center stood a marvelous mansion, covered in the finest ornaments and jewelry. This is where Tamamo's story takes place.
Many guardsmen were running toward the mansion gate.
"HURRY, THEY MUST NOT REACH THE EMPEROR!"
Many men were holding the gate back, a huge thud coming from the other side. One man, more clad in ornaments than the others, stood far away from the gate, watching with distaste. A solider came to him.
"Captain Orito, they will breach the gate within minutes. What are your orders?"
Orito looked down.
"Hold them back at all cost, no one is to retreat."
"But sir..."
"That is an order." Orito said with a sharp voice.
"Y-yes sir." said with unease, running away to help the others.
Orito slammed his hand down on the railing of the gate.
"This is our punishment, isn't it?"
The thudding began to get louder, as some of the hinges on the gate gave way.
"We were fools thinking we could get away with it."
Orito drew his sword. The gate began to splinter.
"But Volaria does not give grace to demons."
With that final thought, the door was thrown into the courtyard killing some of the guards instantly. In the dust, three figures stood, all of them having tails coming from their backsides. The guards charged at them, as one figure motioned with her fan.
"...Kill them all."
????? used Red Moon
????? used Yellow Moon
Instant Fatality
Within ten seconds, all of the guards were on the floor with huge gashes through their chest. One of the figures kicked one of the bodies, her eight tails swaying.
"Damn, I thought they would have more fight in them than the villagers, but this is pathetic. Hey Nanabi, you find any strong ones?"
The one called Nanabi was done saying a prayer, and stood up above the bodies, her seven tails unmoving.
"Yao, this was not for fun. We are here with the Master to seek justice."
"Correct Nanabi."
The one with nine tails, Tamamo, came to both of them.
"These people have been torturing kitsunes for their mystical powers, hoping to find some way to benefit their lives. Many kitsunes have been lost to them, so it is our turn to do the same."
They made their way through the palace, slaughtering anyone to get in their way. They broke into the main chamber, and saw the Emperor sitting on the throne. Tamamo pointed her fan at the man.
"So, Emperor Taskao, you are behind the kitsune kidnappings and torturing?"
He stood up.
"Of course, this land needed the power of your clan to prosper. so much untapped power lying inside your bodies. Just think what could have happened. Flight? Inhuman strength? The possibilities are endless. I would be willing to sacrifice all of the kitsunes to find out that secret energy you share. I just wish we had more time before you found who was doing it."
"Yes." Tamamo motioned with her fan and Yao was instantly standing in front of Taskao.
"I wish you had more time too."
Yao's face turned to delight.
"Oh my Volaria, I'm going to have so much fun shredding you to bits."
Yao used Carnivorous Dance.

"Ok, I'm done." Yao smiled as she stood above a pile of gore and organs. She was walking back to Tamamo when she noticed something in the shadows.
"Hold on." She said as quickly flashed to the figure and threw it to the ground.
"Found one more. Can I kill him?"
The figure was nothing more than a little boy in royal clothing. Tamamo walked over to the boy and looked at him.
"What is your name?"
".......T..Tharo...Tharosuke." The boy stammered and started to get tears in his eyes. Tamamo closed her eyes, and fanned herself.
"The Emperor's boy, what a pain, well come on." She pointed to a sword that one of the guards was using.
"Use that sword and strike me down. Tao if you would."
Tao moved and placed the sword beside Tharosuke. He picked it up, shaking violently.
"Don't you want to avenge your father's death? Then come on, STRIKE AT ME WITH YOUR ANGER!"
"AHHHHHHHHH." Tharosuke ran at Tamamo, bringing the sword above his head.

Critical Sucess
Tamamo hit the sword from Tharosuke's hand right before it hit her head, The sword clattered to the ground, as he fell to his knees in awe. Tamamo again began to fan herself.
"I saw nothing special in you, only the broken heart of a child. Come Nanabi, Yao, We are going home."
"What about the kid?" Yao pointed to Tharosuke.
"Leave him, he will never be a man because I will not recognize him as such."
With that the three walked out of the mansion and then out of the village, leaving Tharosuke in a shattered state and the village burning to the ground
Tamamo looked upon Rifner.
"About three months ago, these men began attacking me, saying they were here to regain their Emperor's honor. Which means that Tharosuke has built back up his empire and is wanting to track me down by any means necessary."
Tamamo rubbed Serina's head, who had fallen asleep during the story.
"I heard there even attacking other kitsune's as well, that they might lead them to me. I knew I should have ended it right there back then."
She looked back at Rifner.
"Sorry you had to listen to all of that. Was that all you wanted to know?"
