"Anyway..." You started, before asking. "Why did you follow me like that ?"

Before she replied, the kitsune unwrapped her tail from your waist, letting you step back, as it started slowly swishing, like her two other tails.

"Quite simple." She then replied. "Kitsunes were originally yokais, but with The Emergence, we became a fully living species, but maintaining a close link to spirits. And yours looks weird, Mr Dead Guy."

You were far less shocked by her revelation than you thought at first, seeing that she had been so insistant on following you and asking you what happened in the cemetary... What left you dumbfounded for an instant was her following question.

"So... What's your name ?" She asked, putting her hands in her pockets as if she wasn't really caring about what you could do.

In the meantime, her simple question, cutting sharp through the pressure you felt in this situation, left you momentarily speechless, your brain working overtime to decipher this simple question, and it took far too long to do so. When you finally understood what she asked, you extended an hand and replied.

"My name's John Doe, and you are ?"

The kitsune grinned when seeing this reaction from you, and pulled one hand out of her pocket to shake your hand, answering with.

"My name is Aji Milla, glad to know you aren't named Mr Dead Guy." She added playfully, before putting her hand back in her pocket. This was folloed by a welcome silence, at least welcome for you, as you quickly saw that Aji started pacing back and forth, her tail swishing quicker than before and her ears slightly flattened on her head.

"What's the matter ?" You curiously ask, only to be answered by more silence, making you sigh a bit.

But the following silence was short-lived, as both you and Aji started hearing commotion nearby.
