"Yeah, I wanted to bring you here first to meet her before I go with you." little fox answered.
"Greetings, honored overlord of this beautiful forest."
Ryuu said and bowed towards the magnificent big fox staring at him.
If you could imagine the appearance of a two-year-old kid uttering those words while bowing, you would certainly laugh.
"Hahahaha, this little fellow is interesting" - yeah, just like the big fox did.
"So kid, how did you meet with this little rascal here?" little fox's mother inquired glancing at her.
"Well, when I first saw her I felt familiarity so I wanted to bring her home with me so I could keep her by my side all the time." Ryuu replied.
"Oh, so she ran away the first time you two met?" the big fox asked for confirmation.
"Yeah, at that time I was very sad. It felt like my beloved family was taken away from me but I don't know why I felt like it when we didn't even meet before." He muttered aloud putting a hand on his chin.
Seeing his appearance, big fox stared blankly for a while and smiled richly after which strong golden red light burst from her.
Ryuu and the little fox got scared because neither of them knew what happened.
Little fox felt like her mother had vanished, lost forever and she had a feeling like a big hand was squeezing her little heart, making her unable to breathe.
"MOTHER!" her thought spread out like a storm visibly disturbed and in a panic that something happened to her mother.
"Don't worry child, I'm fine" voice rang out from the bright golden red aura.
"Kid, come closer" gentle female voice faintly reached Ryuu's ear.
At that point, he was completely confused and had no idea what happened.
Bright golden red aura dissipated slowly and female silhouette stepped out of it.
That form was very beautiful, mature woman, seemingly in her early twenties just like his mother.
She had perfect curves, long white hair fluttering in the wind and her eyes were bright crimson golden with vertical pupils inside.
There were red lines here and there on her body resembling veins and there was faint light pulsating through them resembling white sparks occasionally pa.s.sing through.
Ryuu held his breath back when he saw grand human form in front of him a height reaching 1.8 meters.
Compared with him who was nearly half a meter high she seemed palatial and domineering even though her beauty reminded him of his mother.
He may seem like a two-year-old child, but what an impact this beautiful woman had on him as an ex-25-year-old guy?
The impact was so big that his feelings were overflowing as he watched a beautiful woman squat to match his height extending her left hand to him.
Ryuu then awakened from his train of thought and remembering what he heard, he slowly stepped forward going to woman squatting in front of him.
When she saw Ryuu's reaction a light smile appeared on her tender face radiating with pure beauty.
After a few steps, Ryuu was in front of her pa.s.sing his little hand to her big palm.
What surprised him was how warm her hand was even though it was completely white like no blood was flowing through it.
"Good boy, now you come here too." she said looking to her daughter not far away.
Little fox jumped a few times and she was already in front of a magnificent woman.
"Mom, how did you transform into that appearance and how can you speak human language?" little fox's thoughts popped up in the minds of two people in front of her.
"Do you remember about the secret you would discover when you break through 1000 years?" she asked little fox with a gentle look on her face while holding Ryuu's little palm with her left hand and examining it carefully.
"Yes, I remember" little fox replied.
"You will be able to do it too when you break through, so wait for about four years and then your wish would come true at that time." she said with eyes filled with pure kindness almost like previous viciousness never existed.
"What wish mother?" the little fox asked curiously.
"Your wish regarding this little fellow here." girl replied pointing at Ryuu.
"H-h..ow did you know? I never told anyone!" the little fox said with a panicked voice like her secret was uncovered that moment.
"Haha, such a silly child whose kid do you think you are? It reminds me of when I was little" girl said looking at the vast sky caressing Ryuu's hand and then glanced at her daughter with a happy grin on her face.
"Kid, what is your name?" the girl asked little Ryuu.
"Asura Ryuu, it is my pleasure to meet you, your excellency." the little guy replied.
"Asu~ ... did you say Asura?" she asked, being visibly shaken.
"Yes, Asura Ryuu. My father is Asura Aito and my mother is Asura Haruhi." Ryuu replied.
"Kid, did your parents tell you anything about them?" girl recovered then asked gently.
"No, is there a problem?" little Ryuu asked.
"It is the best to remain that way for now. Do not worry though there is no problem, it's just too early for you to know about them so when you grow up this aunt will tell you about it." the girl replied with a big smile.
"Now then..." she continued while glancing at her daughter ".....should I tell him?".
Little fox lowered her head avoiding their looks, and just one word entered their minds - "Um".
Then she turned around and flashed away like a bolt of lightning leaving only "Whoom" behind her and with it strong wind impacted Ryuu and her mother.
Ryuu was surprised as to why he was left with this woman alone and then...
"Kid, listen here." the girl looked seriously at him and continued "That little brat is in love with you." and then a complete silence remained.
Ryuu's hand fell out of her and he stared like in front of him was an inexplicable scene.
His emotions went berserk, wreaking havoc in his heart and faint black halo appeared around his heart and nine-colored halo in his lower dantian stabilizing his condition.
For a two-year-old child, this was a great shock even more so because he never had a lover in his previous life.
A girl looked at him expecting his reaction, he gathered a bit of strength to ask "Why?".
"That, you will have to ask her when she comes back but I need to know your answer." the girl said
"What should I answer?" he asked with a s.h.i.+vering voice and a little light ray reflected from a corner of his eye falling to the ground and breaking apart converting to water and sinking to the ground.
It was a tear that fell down his cheek.
Yes, a tear.
First time since he reincarnated in this world, he cried.
He cried for the fact that the second biggest wish from previous life came true - to feel loved sincerely aside from his father's and mother's love for him.
"You should prepare an answer for when she comes back, are you willing to stay by her side or not?" the girl told him patiently.
"Will it be possible, I am human and she is a spirit beast. If it is possible, then I swear on my life and pride that I'd protect her with my whole heart." little kid no older than two years said those words aloud.
If his parents saw him like this they would likely fall unconscious due to lack of oxygen.
"Why did you decide so fast?" the girl asked with a rich smile on her beautiful face.
"This may sound a bit strange, but I'm not originally from this world." Ryuu said and looked to the sky.
"So that's why you are not at all like a little kid?" girl inquired with curiosity.
"Yes. In my past life, my biggest wish was to reincarnate in another world from mine and second wish was ... " here he stopped for some time before continuing " ... to f-find someone who would sincerely love me ... and who I can ... who I can l-love with all my heart." he said with s.h.i.+vering voice after which he fell on his knees.
Obviously, his small body was still too weak for that much emotions and he quickly lost his strength.
"Then, how do you feel about my daughter?" girl came to Ryuu and embraced him caressing his head and expecting an answer.
"I .. I thought that she was a cute fox and wanted to bring her home with me at first."
"Oh, why is that?" the girl asked.
"Because b-becau..se I felt familiar feeling when I saw her." his s.h.i.+vering voice said and he leaned back in a girl's hold trying to restore his calmness.
"Then, we met in the forest and I played with her a lot. Since that moment I was completely attached to her and even thought that it would be nice if she was a girl and we grew up together but I threw away my delusions about it. I did ... until your excellency transformed into human form."
"At that moment I thought 'It would be nice if it was possible', but I ... I never thought it really could be possible not to talk about the fact that she already fell in love with me." Ryuu said with tears streaming down his face again.
"Say, Is it really possible for us to ... be together?" He asked after a few minutes.
"Why don't you ask her?" girl pointed in the direction of a nearby tree.
Little fox appeared behind that tree, wiggling happily with her tail. It was obvious how excited she was because her tail was making a faint humming sound.
"Do you really mean it?" thought entered his mind.
Ryuu got choked with emotions once again upon seeing little white form and could just strongly nod once before fainting.
Can you blame him, as a two-year-old boy his biggest dream in this world came true and it was too strong of an impact for his little const.i.tution?
Little fox appeared in an instant near unconscious Ryuu and as her mother placed him on the ground, she curled up around his body keeping him warm and as if s.h.i.+elding him from the rest of the world.
Bright ray shone on the beautiful girl again and she transformed to ten meters big fox from before.
"You heard him, now let me ask are you sure about your deci~"
"Yes!" little fox interrupted her mother's words.
"I'm sure, I'm sure mom. I want to leave with him!".
"Very well, then there are only two things left for you two to do." she said.
"First, you have to make contract sealed by blood, and second, for the next four years both of you must remain here.".
"NO! First one is okay but .. he is still a kid how can he remain four years here. His parents would worry about him and what if they go looking for him?
You know better than me how strong they are." the little fox said looking panic-stricken at her mother.
"Don't worry about that, let's wait for him to wake up first then we would solve both problems. Dear child, mother wishes you all the best and I hope you can be happy with your decision." she said remaining silent for a while and then continued in solemn and dignified voice "I will give my all to support you both but there is one big problem we have to solve."
"What problem?" little fox inquired.
Big fox was silent for a bit then... "What did you feel when you carried him here. What feeling gave off that nine-colored sphere to you?" she asked.
"AH! Now that you mention it, we don't know what that is but I got a sudden surge of power and both my spirit power and mental power increased multiple times. Do you know what it was?" little fox inquired.
Big fox remained in silence for quite a time and then said:
"Child, you picked the right partner for you. I'm sure of it now, you two can only belong to each other." she said looking at the sky as if remembering something painful.
"What do you mean mom?" the little fox asked, covering Ryuu with her fluffy tail.
"Nhh... don't run ..ome back .. I love... ...ou" faint voice resounded.
As if by prior agreement, both foxes looked at Ryuu laying on the ground.
Little fox brought her head on top of his and said "I'm here, from now on I'll always be here" her thought entered Ryuu's head and calmed him down.
After she was sure Ryuu returned to normal, she glanced at her mother as if asking something.
"I'm sure you two saw me lying on the ground when you came, right?" her mother asked.
"Yes, what happened?" the little fox asked in an uneasy tone.
"When I was observing you two as you were approaching, that nine-colored sphere completely isolated both of you and I couldn't penetrate it. Instead, it was me who got mental power backfired causing me to lose my strength therefore I collapsed."
"That sort of thing happened?!" the little fox asked in surprise.
"Yes, but did you notice something strange with this kid?" the big fox asked.
"No, is there something wrong?"
"When I used my mental power all-out under spirit eye condition to penetrate into his spiritual domain he was completely unaffected and calm. But I wasn't. I saw one terrifying existence in this kid, nothing in this world can describe it."
"What?"
"Around his heart, there is a black dragon. Although it is very small in size, the feeling it gives off is something only G.o.d's aura can achieve. I'm not sure whether this is coincidence or not, but he will definitely have a long life and will certainly be very very strong in future." the big fox said with a dreadful look in her eyes.
"Child, you must protect each other well in life and for that reason, both of you will remain with me following four years. You have to get stronger so you could have the power to protect each other when you transform into human form."
"Wasn't his spirit supposed to be dormant until the fifth year, how can he train?" the little fox asked.
"Do you really think someone like him will need five years to fuse with Soul Spirit?"
"He won't?" the little fox asked happily.
"No, his spirit already begun awakening, that's why you two could resonate with each other and why that nine-colored light appeared."
"Wait, doesn't that mean that we can fuse with each other?" little fox excitedly asked
"It should be. That's why I will train you both until you break through the thousand-year limit. Rest well, later we are going to pay a visit to his parents."
"Okay." the little fox said glancing at calm Ryuu sleeping peacefully in front of her and after a while, she fell asleep too.
Just as she was falling asleep, she jerked awake and shouted "Ryuu, are you okay" with one bad premonition spreading in her heart.
Next moment... "ROARRRRRRRR...." several deafening dragon roars resounded scaring both foxes near Ryuu and ten dragons emerging from him, two of them being similar color - one black with golden green stripes and eyes, another black with b.l.o.o.d.y golden red stripes and eyes shaking whole surrounding area with that mighty roar.
