Keitaro was seen sitting down in his room, his eyes looking through a bunch of books, he seemed to have a weird orange eyeliner above his eyes as he read through the books. The flames currently lit in the room seemed to dance around wildly as if attracted to Keitaro's current state, though Keitaro did not notice that.
Keitaro walked toward a stack of books that he proceeded to open and look through, all the info that he could possibly get, he had remembered asking Satoru permission to look through the Gojo clan library.
"Knock yourself out" was the reply he got from the man.
As Keitaro looked through the books, the memory of the day he had unlocked that certain technique played in his mind. From what he could remember it was a very rainy day with a lot of lightning which was quite uncommon now that he thought about it.
However back then he did not think much of it, he was probably so focused on mastering that trance-like state that he did notice that he was meeting certain requirements.
He had so many questions yet so few answers, from what he could gather the Kirin was a creature that he could summon in battle if need be.
It fit the requirement of Shikigami quite well so it probably was that....so what made the Kirin choose to manifest in the form of pure natural lightning, from what he could gather, the lightning from the Kirin was pure lightning, there was not an ounce of curse energy within it.
The only trace of curse energy within it however was his own Ce, the Ce that he used to tell the Kirin where to attack.
But then how could the Kirin kill a curse as from his knowledge you need curse energy to exorcise a curse....
His mind then went back toward his visit...the way that Panditji and lord Tenzin could purify a curse Atman without using any form of curse energy replayed in his mind whatsoever.
Did the Kirin just go straight for the target soul or something like that.....
So many goddam questions and yet no freaking answer.
Suddenly from Keitaro's necklace, Akane walked out, her fluffy 5 tail waving in excitement, was she happy to come out and play...
How sweet.....
Keitaro looked at Akane..then at the fire...he had a hypothesis.....
Akane as if reading his mind, puur just a bit as what seemed to be some weird mark appeared all over her face.
She jumped onto the fire and Keitaro watched in amazement as she looked to be unphased....
Keitaro couldn't help but notice the fact that one of her five tails now had a weird mark on them.
'could it be?' Keitaro thought to himself with a questioning look on his face. He had fed Akane a lot of curses that possessed more than one curse technique.
Plus Akane was a Kitsune, those beings were known for having more than one ability.
Apart from the illusion skill that they use to trick unfortunate Sole for shit and giggles, they had a few other skills, like fly, they were known for their fire manipulation and elemental manipulation in general.
So it wouldn't really be out of the left corner if Akane could in some way, gain those skills, with or without that natural energy...why was she glowing..
Keitaro was taken from his thoughts as his Kitsune companion seemed to glow, her body now enveloped in a sea of flame
Her eyes now resemble the flame that she was currently surrounded by, she now even possesses a fire tattoe on her forehead.
Keitaro didnt know how to feel as his Kitsune companion's skin started turning red, she started to resemble a Firefox more and more as her transformation went on.
{A/N couldn't find any pick with 5 tails}
She jumped onto Keitaro's body and started licking his face. 'Master look, I am all fiery now' Akane's voice was heard saying in Keitaro's mind as she licked his face over and over again.
"I can see that, "He said softly as he reached his hand out to pat her head, he gently started to pat her as his hands passed through the flame in her body and surprisingly, he wasn't burned by the flame at all.
He just felt very familiar with it, as if he was part of that fire...Keitaro blinked again as his timer ran out and he went out of bootleg sage mode as Satoru would like to call it.
Keitaro immediately was burned by the fire he groaned a bit in pain. 'Master are you okay' Akane said in his mind with what seemed to be worry in her voice.
"I am fine.."Keitaro said patting the fox's head....huh, Keitaro looked at Akane once more and she seemed to be out of that fiery state.
She now looked like she was now back to normal as she licked his wounds...
A/N...So this should say how Akane new power works, and what it drains in order to say within that mode. The next chapter will be a lot of explaining
