Dance with the Devil

"Yeah! You're so nice and funny. And play games!" "Me? A fool? No I don't believe so. That group of kitsunes that did those things are not my friends..Or any normal kitsune's friend. Those crazy ones destroying and claiming they are the ones who should be worshiped. They are all mad... Now what are these spots I have? I didn't do anything wrong did I? If I was powerful enough back then I would of taken those idiots on..But..There were so many.."

Legion smiled. "You have no idea how happy I am right now..."

There was a short pause before Lee made the dots disappear. "No; not any wrong I know of. We are even," she told her. "Even without what you told me, I believe they should persuaded to not stick their little noses where they don't belong."

"you don't have to be that happy" "you're going to try to persuade them? Ha! They don't listen to anyone who isn't in their pack."

Legion's smile disappeared. "w-why? is my smile creepy? I'm so sorry... I didn't know..."

Lee just looked at Willow intently.

"I didn't mean it like that..Sorry I can't say words right when I'm really happy.. you're smile is nice." "What..Are you thinking I should do it? I can't just walk in there and talk after disappearing for hundreds of years...I would at least have to come back with 9 tails to give a worthy excuse."

Legion's smile reappeared. "So... uh... what do you want to do, now that both of us know the truth?"

"i don't know. What do they do when you love each other?"

"You don't know? I mean, I do, but not from experience."

The amount of tails on Willow increased to nine.

"recin would always avoid the subject." Willow looked like she was having a panic attack. "Wh-what???! No that's not possible!!! How could I have nine?!? I haven't learned all the forbidden knowledge!!" She sounded happy and confused.

"So, umm, when two people love each other, they uh... go to a remote location, like a room with a bed where they'll be alone and they then...umm... take off their clothes..." Legion never had to explain this to anyone ever before.

Lee ran her hand through Willow's fur. "It's just for looks, didn't know you had to know some forbidden magic too," she said. "That is actually a lot softer than I'd expect it to be. Or was that just my magic? Hmmm..."

"What happens when they take off their clothes?" "Wait...So you can just grow tails? Wow...All this time I was told by the elders about the more you know the more they would appear...I guess the forbidden knowledge was that you don't need to know to grow more tails...Wow..." Willow looked at Lee. "No my fur has always been soft..."

"They lie down on the bed and they.. uhhhh... mate."

"Do you think they'll buy it, even if it's just for looks?"

"mate? That's a world I've never heard before. " "Yes. This is no illusion. They are real. They won't care if I'm an idiotic fool. These tails are everything to a kitsune. "

"Really? I thought most wendigoes were born..."

"Up there, worship isn't just prayers and song; sacrifices are made in one name or another," she said. "At first, I wanted to thank kitsunes for ridding me of those fanatics, but then, they started disrupting even the peaceful ones. I need your eyes and ears to make sure a compromise is made."

"Some of them are...But... They didn't talk about what they do to make the babies appear." "Hmmm..Sure.."

Legion scratched his head. "I have an idea."

Lee opened a portal. "Safe travels, kitsune."

"and what would that be?" "I hope so.." Willow walked through the portal.

"I-I suppose I could show you a few educational stuff, to get the jist of what it means."

Willow found herself in the very same place she mentioned to Lee.

In the meantime, Lee was making sure Lillith was okay. "Hello, is there anybody in there?" she said as she walked up to Lillith's face. "Just nod if you can hear me; is there anyone at home?"

She was hoping Lillith didn't become comfortably numb.

"yeah I'd like to learn. " "I never thought I would be here again..." Willow walked. Lillith's eyes looked up to Lee but there was only a little whisper. "Y....Yes..."

"I have a book that pretty much has all the things you need to know, with pictures," he explained and sent a mirror image of himself to fetch it. "Supposedly, it's a best-seller, but not in the category the writer intended."

The location was a lush, overgrown rainforest and her arrivel got the attention of a certain, blued-eyed raven sitting on one of tree branches.

Lee smiled and then looked at Lillith. "Feel alright? You were walking around..." 

The vessel of raw magic she left in Willow's place was just standing near the other souls trapped within Lillith's pendant. They could either share the power or fight for it to become even stronger than Willow.

Whatever their choice, it was up for the taking and the vessel had no mind of its own to argue.

"I knew there were books for everything!" Willow noticed the bird watching her. "Would you like something or are you going to continue to stare?" "I don't remember...Walking around...Freaking ...Shut up guys....What sort of free power are you talking about?"

The mirror image came back with the book and although it wanted to say something, Legion dispelled the mirror image before it got a chance.

Legion handed it to her. The book was called 'Everything you wanted to know about XXX, but were too afraid to ask your parents or older siblibs.'

The let out a soft croak and flew down to her, inspecting her.

Lee was wondering; she should tell her or pretend nothing happened? Well, since she is going to find out sooner or later...

"It's a little something I had to give them now that Willow's gone..."

"What's XXX?" Willow looked at it. She sat down. "Take your time. I'm in no hurry." "Willows gone?!??..How?!?"

"Mating, basically," Legion explained. "Just open it up and start at the first page."

The raven slowly approached her, head tilting in curiosity.

"I got rid of her," Lee admitted. "Don't worry; I offered the rest some of my power so that they could keep doing what they were doing to keep you alive."

"first page?" Wendigo opened it and looked. Willow started humming. "So you like...Killed her?"
