“You really are real,” she said while looking at him from all sides. She was surprised when she saw a tail protruding from behind him.

“Can I touch your tail?”

“As you please, just once and that will be all.”

She ran her finger over his tail and she felt it twitch slightly from her touch, she noticed it had a fluffy feel. She wished she could touch it more, but remembered he told her just one touch.

Straightway she took her hand off, not wanting to annoy him.

“If I may ask what are you? And why do I have the power to release you?”

“I’m a kitsune from a strong noble family, as to why you were able to release me, I saw that the spiritual energy you possess closely resembles those of a priestess. You seem to share the same color of hair as those of an ancient priestess clan. I think they were called the Miko clan.”

“My name is Murakami Miyako, if I may ask, could you please tell me your name?”

“Hikari, is my name. Nice meeting a human who isn’t really human.”

“What do you mean by that?! I’m human you know?!” she replied angrily.

“If you would permit me.”

Stepping forward, he brought her closer to himself. Tilting her head towards him, he bent to seal his lips with hers to replenish some of the energy he lost while sealed away.

He knew that she had no need of the immense power dwelling within her, for he perceived she had no knowledge of how much power her body held. After taking in his fill of her energy he slowly released her.
