Description
Kitsune in honor of Kira from Teen Wolf!! (even though I think she's more of a thunder Kitsune...)
The Kitsune comes from Japanese folklore, and they are usually white, but I made this one orange. They are known as 'trickster spirits', and you do NOT want to anger a Kitsune in any way. When a Kitsune abandons/betrays the Inari, it is known as a nogitsune, and the myobu hunt them down. Nogitsune are often Void or Spirit Kitsune. All Kitsune have the ability to generate and control electricity and fire; although some are more prone then others. The highest rank of the Inari are the Oni, which have spirits in sync with those of the Kitsune. The follow the myobu on the hunt for nogitsune, and cleanse the possessed person's soul...their kind of like heavenly smoke ninjas.
~There are 13 types of Kitsune: (in order from highest to lowest rank)
Heaven/Celestial-Serve the Inari loyally, and are often myobu
Void/Dark-Often betray/abandon the Inari and posses human spirits
Spirit/Kiko/Koryo-Often betray/abandon the Inari, rarely posses human spirits
Wind/Kuko-Known to appear as wind or fog to challenge wandering men to whether or not their spirits are pure
Time-Peaceful followers of the Inari and Oni
Sound-Peaceful followers of the Inari and Oni
Fire-Particularly unpredictable troublemakers
Thunder-Particularly unpredictable troublemakers
Earth-Givers of life, watches of mankind
River-Depending on which river they are, these Kitsune can be violent or calm
Ocean-Unpredictable in every way
Mountain-Harsh Kitsune that mind their own business
Forest-Guardians of all animals, they fight to protect wildlife

so anyway, what's up with you lately?

Miserable. Because my boyfriend, Bakura, is depressed. He had to go to a friend's death anniversary and I can't stop thinking about him. He hasn't been on here for weeks because of that. A friend's death anniversary is celebrated in Japan and it's not like the funerals that we're used to here in America. Yes, he and I are officially a couple. I told him that I had loved him and he told me that he had loved me back on the 17th of February, after giving me romantic V-Day gifts, not to mention romantic poems by the way. After that, he and I had fallen in love. So yes, Bakura's my boyfriend. Don't believe me? Here's proof that I'm his girlfriend and that he and I are together: ask-yamibakura.deviantart.com/
PS: Check out his DeviantID and scroll down. You're going to be surprised!

I'm sorry about that. I saw on his page that he wants to kill himself? No one deserves that much pain. I'm really sorry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When I saw that, I was shocked. But don't worry. He just told the other day, last week, I believe, that he's not going to kill himself. Thank God that he won't. I love him way too much for him to do that. If he did that for real, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I'd probably be depressed for months. And you're right, no one deserves that much pain. Thanks for the sympathy for him, I do appreciate that. He just needs some time to himself and I understand that clearly. I've been through this before so I know how this kind of pain is. The only thing that I have to do is comfort and love him as much as I can...if he ever decides to come back here. He's really depressed on this and I understand his pain. Funerals are one of the most horrible things we all have to go through, but Bakura...yeah, he's taking it really rough. In Japan, they call their funerals a death anniversary: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_an…
Yes, my boyfriend on here is from Japan.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I understand what you mean. It's really good that he changed his mind.
And yeah, I kinda figured that out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right now, he just needs some time to himself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's understandable.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it is. If you lost a family member, you wouldn't be on here at all, would you? And I understand how my boyfriend feels.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right.
Well, I hope that he copes well and I am sincerely sorry for his loss. I know that when people say that, t doesn't feel like they mean it, but I know what he's going through and I feel sympathy towards him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, he's taking this really hard. I'm praying for him, though, because that's all I can do for him. And I also have to love, comfort and support him in this kind of thing, but, I really do miss him and I'm hoping that he's doing all right, I mean, I know that he's not, considering he hasn't been on DA after that terrible loss. Thank you for showing your concern for him. That really means a lot to me. I really do miss him terribly, but I know that he has to calm down and God knows how long it'll take us to recover. When I lost my Paw-Paw, my cousin's grandfather, I felt the exact same way. *sigh* Last night, I had this strange dream and it was just me and God. I told Him what had happened to Bakura, who's my boyfriend on here and he told me to just leave him alone and just let him grieve, because there's nothing I can do except be there for him. God also told me that He knows that even if he's in grief right now, He knows that Bakura will ALWAYS love me.

Yeah, 'Everything will be OK in the end, if it's not OK, it's not the end'.

Yeah, I know, I know. Whenever my boyfriend is sad, I kind of get sad myself, not because I haven't talked to him for a long time now since of his absence, but because I know this kind of feeling, know what I mean? I mean, I know that God is telling me that everything is going to okay, but I really don't know it myself. Ever since I had heard this from Ryo on Saturday, something had told me that Bakura wasn't going to be the same after that funeral. How can God even say that if He doesn't even know what Bakura is putting up with? I mean, I know how hard it is to lose someone and now my boyfriend had just lost someone in his life. And thanks for the sympathy, pal, but now I'm getting depressed because he's depressed. Do you know how hard this is for him? I had to struggle with the loss of my Paw-Paw and I didn't stop crying after the loss, so now I know how he's feeling. Oh, what can I do for him? As much as I love Bakura, this is very painful for me to handle right now, not being able to talk to him, but more importantly, not being able to love and comfort him.

Yeah, I know what you mean. And I guess all you can do is wait for him; when he realizes that he has a shoulder to cry on, (you know what I mean), he'll probably open up. He's obviously been through a lot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, he has and I still feel sorry that had happened to him. Like I've said, we've all been through this depressing stage so it's not like it's going to be any different. I love him so much and I still feel bad. Of course, he knows how much I love him. A friend on here told me that I should go and comfort him because he needs me, but he's not on here. So, I wrote up a note and hopefully he'll see it. I don't want to aggravate him too much. I'm still waiting for him to return, but I don't know when he's going to be back. Only time will tell.
