Has anybody seen Kakashi-sensei? ...he can't have-

[banditfox]

Feeling all right today?

[OOC: That's cool. I think he'd probably use the first few sessions to get an idea of Naruto's capabilities before he decides to really start pushing him?]

[banditfox]

I suppose I'll find out when I get there. I can assume my old forms, so it may be that one day I'll return to one of those.

[relimited]

Do you mean turning into a fox? Nell mentioned that before.

[banditfox]

Yes, and I have another form that I use more often.

[relimited]

Another one? What's that one like? ...will you show me them both?

[banditfox]

Do the foxes in your world ever take a more human form? Mine do, when they're strong enough, though we often still have our fox ears and at least one tail. I imagine you'll see both forms in the course of training.

[relimited]

I'm not sure. Kyuubi's the only one I know about.

So do your different forms mean different things then? Why would you need so many?

[banditfox]

Is he?

There are times when one form is more convenient than the other. The one you're most accustomed to seeing me in isn't one I would be able to assume if I hadn't found refuge in a human body and bound myself to it.

[relimited]

Yeah. And I don't really know much about him either.

Then if that never happened, would you only have one form?

[banditfox]

Do you want to know more about him?

Two. A fox, and something resembling a human but clearly not.

[relimited]

...you know about him?

Then which one is your real form?

[banditfox]

Only what he is and that he's connected to you.

Strictly speaking, both youkai forms are my real forms, but I was born as a fox and little more than that.

[relimited]

Then how would I find out more? I don't wanna ask dad.

...I don't understand.

[banditfox]

Is there no one to ask?

It's a long story. I'll tell it to you sometime.

[relimited]

Not exactly. Most of the people who knew Kyuubi knew...people killed by him.

You'd better!

[banditfox]

I see.
