Crystal, now 4 years old, was readying her basket to go pick strawberries with her father. They were now extremely close, and Crystal's dad couldn't resist her adorable charm.
~Crystal~
Well, now that my father no longer hates me, my new life is much better, full of the affection I never had in my old life. I think of my old life, with my terrible and neglecting parents. Then I feel a painfully sharp jab when I think about my best friend, Ara. I miss her so much. I look down and then decide to look at the bright side. I'm in our favorite otome game, living as a rich girl!
I start looking for the freshest strawberries in the strawberry patch while my father is on the other side. "Did you find any good ones, sweetie?" he asks. I shake my head no and go back to searching. In the end, I have 10 big, fresh, and beautiful strawberries in my basket. My dad goes back inside, and then I hear a yell.
I start running towards the noise as fast as my child's legs can take me. As the noise gets louder, I enter a clearing. There, is a small fox who seems to be very agitated, and 2 men over it. "Ha! Today is our lucky day! We caught a magic fox!" they laugh and advance toward it menacingly. I debate whether I should save it or just stand there.
"Hey! You know you're in our woods and our property!" I shout. "And who are you to tell us little girl?" they ask. "I'm Crystal von Bariton, and I order your o get off. Unless you want me to call my daddy of course" I bat my eyes and grin. Oh Sh-t, the men think. "S-sorry" and they run away.
That's more like it! I run to the adorable fox and ask "Are you okay?" Surprisingly, it answers. "Thank you for saving my Crystal! For that, I am in your debt. My name is Lune, and I am a kitsune. If you want, we can make a contract" I gasp, knowing from the game that contracts with magical creatures make you stronger and links your life to them. In the original game, the Heroine makes a contract with a kitsune. But now me. Why though?
"Uh, sure?" "Ok, great!" The kitsune glows, and then I start glowing too. Then it stops, and I look down at my arm to find a kitsune tattoo.
I carry the Kitsune back to the palace, running, knowing that my father probably already started a search party. "Honey, there you are!" My father hugs me, and then gasps when he sees Lune. "Wow! Kitsunes are extremely rare!" Lune holds up her head proudly and flicks her tails

The blonde boy watches the girl from the woods, hidden. "She seems interesting," he says. Then he smiles and walks away.
