Punishment what punishment, all you did was tickle me.

"No let me go, stop" the little fox was yelling, but it didn't matter, I was never going to let him go. At Least not before the tickling was over.

"Oh no, you want to hit me and make me feel pain, then you're going to take responsibility for your actions starting with a one-hour tickle session".

Can you blame me? Here is a little fox right in front of me with giant adorable big eyes and fur that probably feels like a cloud of cotton candy, and I'm just going to let it get away, heck no, I'm going to cuddle this thing to death.

"Don't worry it's almost over, you still have 10 minutes left" and I kept what I said.

About ten minutes later, the fox was laying on his back, looking like a cat that just got thrown into the water. Man, was he sweaty. He looked happy, I could only guess that he thought the punishment was over, except it wasn't

"Okay then" I said "now that you've had your punishment for hurting me, it's time for your punishment for being too cute, HY-YA!!! Screams of laughter filled the forest that day as a cute little fox was tickled to the point of passing out.

But as the laughter continued and reached the other side of the forest, a creature that had been sleeping awoke and opened its blood-red fury filled eyes…

"Hah…hah…hah" deep panting could be heard as a certain cute little fox could be seen laying on the forest floor. "Did… huff, huff… did you balf to fickle me bow much."

The words of the little fox slurred together, and I couldn't help but giggle at the scene of the little fox covered in sweat with his fur poofed out while looking at me as if I were his worst enemy.

"Of course" I said as I looked at the tiny little fox. "

And you can't really say you didn't deserve it because you did." Here we are, a fox that roars and a girl with wings and a tail.

I'm sure we will make quite the scene. Speaking of, I still haven't asked his name yet, probably should do that.

"Hey fluff ball"

"yes" the cute little thing responded without even turning my way, a long intake of breath would be taken occasionally showing that he was still tired.

"Now that you've had your punishment, mind telling me your name?"

Finally, the fox turned his head towards me and said, "huh, I haven't been given one yet".

Suddenly, my mind became confused. "What do you mean you don't have one yet?"

This time it was his turn to be confused.

"I mean I don't have one yet, can't you see how small I am, if I had a name, I would be twice as large as I am now. Not to mention, I could have escaped your tickling and would have given you a real wallop on the head for giving me such humiliation. Oooooooo I bet if I ever met that dragon again I would kick its butt if I had a name."

Suddenly, realization dawned on me as a memory I didn't know I had surfaced.

"We wouldn't by chance be in a forest filled with monsters that can use magic, would we?"

The little fox looked at me with his big round eyes and of course adding that bit of sarcasm into his sentence said, "no der."

Which of course only confirmed my suspicion. I seem to have woken up in a world similar to this fantasy novel thing in my memories.

Which would also mean that since this is a monster filled forest, and I am here, then that means that I must be one of its monsters, and if I recall correctly, whenever a monster gets named then depending on who named it the monster could double in strength or even evolve into a new species. And depending on its evolution than its strength could possibly quadruple plus allowing it to gain a few new skills.

As I looked at the fox In Front of me, I came to a decision. "Well then would you like for me to give you a name?''

The little fox looked at me in confusion before saying "What do you mean name me? In order to name me you would have to be either at the same or higher Teir than me. Not to brag but despite my size I'm already Teir 2, so what Tier are you huh? I doubt your above Teir 2or 3. My mother was barely considered Teir 3 and it took her a looooooooooooong time before she was able to do that."

"I'm..... not sure"

The fox went quit for a moment before rolling onto his stomach and rising off the ground. "Well, it's easy to check, usually it's hidden somewhere on your body so it should be realitively simple to find out. Hold still and spread your wings.

"Why do I need to spread my wings?"

"Generally, if a monster or Demi-Human has wings than their Teir marking will almost always be hidden under one or the other."

After hearing the foxes explanation I silently spread my wings as the fox walked around my body to look at my back.

"So, what Teir am I?"

"....."

Hearing silence I turn my head to look behind me.

"Little fox?"

"Te*r $&ur"

I slightly turn my body to get a better look at him as I hear him mumble something.

"What was that?"

Suddenly the fox rushed from his spot in a burst of speed as he began to circle my body multiple times without stop all while screaming.

"Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4, Tier 4"

"Wait wait, hold on , stop!!!"

Reaching out my hand I grabbed the fox as he finished his current circle around me. Bringing the fox up to my face I was about to say something before the fox suddenly started to tear up and whimper as he started to cry.

I didn't know what to do. Did I hurt his feelings somehow, is he alright, should I give him a hug and tell him everything will be alright. But then I heard a tiny laugh, and as I looked at him, I could see a smile slowly form. And words I never expected for him to say came out of his mouth.

"You asked me if you could name me right? Well only if I name you afterwards, after all, you don't have a name yet either" as the words left his mouth, I suddenly realized that he was right.

I couldn't remember my name, and it would be pretty awkward for me to call him a name and then for him to just refer to me as the monster girl.

So of course I agreed. And the fox gave me such an adorable smile that I just couldn't help myself. I moved him closer to my body and gave him a long and loving hug. And as this hug went on, a name suddenly came to me. I put my mouth close to his ear very slowly so as to not interrupt our warm and loving hug and whispered to him, "From this day on, you shall be known as Kawaii. (Kawaii means cute in Japanese)."

The fox slowly turned towards me and with eyes full of determination he said, "I accept. "

And as these words came out of his mouth a golden light flashed and then covered his body followed by a loud piercing roar of pain. I covered my ears to keep out the sound as my eyes widened while I observed his evolution. His body extended and widened as he grew to about the size of a full-grown wolf. The hairs on his back started to scratch against each other, making a clicking sound, as two lines of hairs trailing down her spine started growing to about a half a foot long. Suddenly, their color started to change to a full black as the ends started to sharpen and change into quills.

The tail attached to his butt then slowly split into two as a second tail appeared, and at the end of each of these tales a symbol formed. The Golden light suddenly focused on each of the ends of the foxe's tails as a picture of a girl curled up in a circle with wings sprouting from her back and a tail wrapped around her leg started to show up.

And then suddenly the light went out, showing a magnificent creature unlike any other. Standing before her was a creature unlike the little fox pup she had seen, this one was as large as a wolf and was covered with beautiful golden fur. Two tails swung behind him in sync as he gazed at the beautiful monster girl who had named it, making her heart flutter and checks slowly redden as one thought crossed her mind.

(What a handsome creature) Kawaii slowly turned his head to look at his new body and smiled. He loved the feel of power that coursed through him and wanted to let it out to see what he was capable of, but first he had a job to do,

"I have let you name me and per our agreement, it is now my turn." Kawaii said, "From this day forward you shall be known as Yuki."

My voice wouldn't come out at first but as I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down, the two words that I knew would change my life forever came out of my mouth "I accept"

(Yuki means snow in Japanese)
