10 Hikari Okami: Kitsune Prince

"I'll have control over your body and guide it to where I am, then take something from you that would be strong enough to weaken the barrier. After which once I break free, I'll release you from my hold."

"If I don't agree, what will happen?" she asked.

"This is the only time that I have ever asked a human for help, I am putting my pride on the line by pleading with you to come to my aid, just this once and I'll never ask anything of you."

"I'm not a wicked person. Of course, I'll help you, just let me know when you'll be performing this technique that you speak of."

"I'll be doing it now, just be prepared for you will have no control whatsoever over your body, for your will would become mine."

"That sounds scary! I think I'm about to have second thoughts."

"I promise you this, that no harm shall befall you. You have my word on that. Kyosei kitsune suimin," he said.

Hikari uttered the sacred words from his mouth; using his mental link to the human who was finally under his control.

He sensed the emotions from her past life and current life; seeing the pain she endured, the grief as a child for the loss of her parents, her uncertainty about the future, the deep loneliness of growing up in a strange place with people who clearly hated her.

He felt some remorse for using her to bring about his release but at the same time, he was happy to have someone with powers strong enough to break the seal.

He found her to be a fascinating human who didn't know that she possessed a power that rivaled those of a yokai.

"Was it possible she was a real priestess?" He thought, as he kept leading her out of her house to the place where he was sealed away.
