The little fox with a golden coat runs through the forest, between this tree and that one and onto something she often avoids, a narrow stretch of dirt, the walked path of humans, it's dark already and a big bad wolf's snarls are loud as it chases the fox.
Blur of trees and stumps and hopping over a root or two here and there then back on the path and between some shrubbery into a clearing, a big big building, bigger that the fox's shrine, and she sees an open window on one side, the wolf loses its prey.
hop yip! hop
Now, on the bed, next to the big warm thing and its slow breaths, the ball of gold fluff spins in circles a few times, a little squeak for a yawn, then it plops down on the blanket, for the night will pass, no incidents, no surprises, at last.
In the morning, the rising sun, the only constant in motion over this village standing in a state of perfect stillness, rises over the peaks, lays its aurean quilt on the sides of the mountains, shines down on the valleys and lights up the village with dawn's first warmth.
The little fox, who made herself small and agile to avoid the wild wolf is now back to her preferred form, that of a cute girl, with long, flowing hair, cute floppy fox ears, a long, fluffy tail and in a cute oversized kimono. And she stretches her arms way out and up to the sky, what's now the ceiling and the safety of your home.
"Koooon~!" Nom nom nom "Oh! Humie! Awaken!"
You feel a bunch of soft taps from her small hands on your chest and open your eyes to the sight of a happy foxgirl, looking at you like she's known you forever; affection, joy, warmth and a cheery voice.
"C'mon, c'mon! Hi-chan wants to play!"
Hikari giggles when she sees you stir awake and plops down cross-legged by your side, a big swoosh as her tail wraps around her and lays across her lap.
"Or, um, ehehe, maybe cuddles first? Or umm... Oh! Awawawa... Hi-chan ran a lot last night to end up in humie's house, m-maybe some breakfast firs- eeeeh?"
She puffs out her cheeks in a cute pout and her fox ears flop down and back up a few times.
"Hi-chan got too excited again . . . Kon! Humie will decide, of course! Obviously the brilliant wiseness of this fox's words is once again stunningly impressive to every little sprite and humie around, mhm!"
She nods with proud certainty, even if her mashing big words together might seem a little immature, she's over a hundred years old, obviously very wise indeed, and delegating the routine of the morning to her new favoritest being in the whole wide world, you, is a most splendid idea in her book.
"And, how should I say this? hmm... Ah! Kyuuu~! I love you already, humie!!! The sooner we eat the sooner you can play with Hi-chan, BWAHAHA!!!"
