Kuro

by Kurookumera


New place

I woke up to a wooden ceiling and bandages around my neck. I lightly tapped on them and winced in pain. This is strange, usually my pain nullification works, which means he might of laced his weapon with magic. I get up and search around the house to find no one here. I seem to be healed enough to talk, eat, and drink again but I'm still not at 100%. Not to mention all my magic is currently drained. I sigh and look at my now iridescent tails.

I search through the kitchen for some tea and summon Sam to sit next to me. Sam is a being of my creation. Pure white fur with blue ear and tail tips. Golden eyes and a small electrical current visibly flowing around her. I start brewing the tea and set the kettle on the stove. I give Sam a big hug to feel her soft fur. I let out a content sigh as I relaxed. My ears perked as the pot kettle whistles. "Tea time." I took the kettle and poured tea into a cup I found and sat on the sofa. Sam laid across my lap as I took a sip and practically melted into the sofa. Haven't had the chance to relax like this in forever.

"Yo Fluttershy you here?" The rainbow Pegasus that busted in looked at me and my now spilled tea which spilled onto Sam. She wasn't happy. "Who are you?" She asked confused.

"Kuro."

"... That's all?"

"Yeah. I dunno how I got here."

"Ok- Woah! What happened to your neck?" She flew up to me and looked at the bandage which was a bit bloody.

"Something." I doubt she'd want to hear the details. "Oh right, what's your name?"

"Rainbow Dash! The fastest and greatest flier in all of Equestria!" She says proudly.

"Heh. I bet you are." I smile and pat her head.

"Hey what's that about?" She says swatting away my hand.

"Ah, sorry. You reminded me of someone." I move my hand to Sams head and pet her. "So who's this Fluttershy person?"

"Person? Only ponies around here."

"Ok so who are they?" Just then the door opens and a purple Unicorn and yellow Pegasus come in. They look at me sitting on the couch and the giant Kitsune on my lap taking up the whole couch. "Yo." I say holding up a hand as a greeting. The yellow one flies up to me rather quick and looks at the bandage.

"You shouldn't be out of bed." She says quietly. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, for the most part." She gave me a sudden hug and accidentally touched my neck. She retreated almost immediately.

"S-sorry..." She says.

"Don't worry about it." I say waving a hand. "So which of you is Fluttershy?" The yellow pegasus raises her hand. "K and who are you?" I ask the Unicorn.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle and I was the one who found you in the everfree forest. Although Fluttershy nursed you back to health." She looks at Sam. "Who is that one?"

"My name is Kuro and this is Sam." I say petting her. "Thank you very much Fluttershy." Sam moves off me so I can stand. I walk to Fluttershy and look into her eyes. After a few seconds I sigh. "My usual charms won't work on you. Too bad, wanted to have some fun." I say with a sigh and sit back down.

"Usual charms? Are you trying to hypnotize us or something?"

"Not at all Rainbow Dash. Its a joke type charm." She looks at me skeptically.

"Your fur changed color." Twilight says inspecting my ears then all nine of my tails. "So many tails and they're very soft..." She says hugging one. She then quickly backs away a bit embarrassed and started writing on a paper.

"The amount of tails usually tells a kitsunes power and status. Those with nine like me are considered royalty or gods. Also mine lose color when I lose significant amounts of power or magic."

"So you're basically defenseless right now?" Rainbow Dash asks and I nod in response.

"Royalty...?" Twilight asks me shakily as she stops examining Sam.

"Well I'm not royalty." Twilight then sighs in relief. "I'm a god." All of them choked on air except for Fluttershy whos only concern was that I was unable to protect myself at the moment.

"So what are you the god of?" Rainbow Dash asked after recovering.

"Universal Timelines. My job is to oversee them all and make sure they don't divert from their intended course, which doesn't happen often. Im sure that you're at least familiar with multiple universe and timeline theories." The only one who seems to understand is Twilight who looks at me with sparkling eyes.

"Tell me Everything!" Twilight says getting rather close to my face.

I push her away. "I can't. It's too much to talk about and I kinda don't wanna."

"Are you a filly or something?" Twilight asks me frustrated.

"Nah, I'm 300 years old."

"300?" They all ask me at once.

"Y-yeah. Been around for a few centuries. Worked over 200 years without breaks so I think I'm going to relax in this universe. That alrighty?"

"Well I think its going to be ok. You should ask the princess though. She wants to meet you."

"Yeah? How does the princess know about me? I just arrived today. Actually how long have I been out?"

"A week." Twilight answered.

"A week? How did you not know about me Rainbow Dash?"

"We sort of kept it a secret..." Fluttershy said timidly.

"I see. When do I meet the Princess?" Sam comes over to me and lays on my lap again.

"She said whenever you wake up so tomorrow I think. I'll also be bringing the rest of my friends with me so you can meet them." Twilight said.

"Awesome."

"Well I only came to check in on you so I'll see you tomorrow." Twilight left and so did Rainbow Dash. She seemed to of forgotten what she came here for.

"Do you need anything Kuro?"

"Some tea please." She soon returns with some tea which I enjoy.

"By the way Kuro, you can sleep in my bed."

"Nah im good. I'll sleep on the sofa."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. I'll see ya in the morning alright?" She nods and heads upstairs. I think to myself a bit. I think I'll stay up for a bit. I head outside.
