Prologue

"Dad, you never told me why I don't have a mother? Or why don't I look like you?"

Kurama, the nine-tailed fox demon who stood atop the pedestal of strength, sat in calmness on top of a boulder overlooking the town below them. He was the king of all demons and lived supposedly in solitude within in the mountains. He was the most powerful demon in the land and nothing came close to his power, not even his own siblings.

The demon was dressed in an elegant yakata, knitted with the finest silk. His wild fiery hair was cascading till his back and tan skin that had no blemishes. His amber eyes gleamed with amusement as well as boredom. "Well for one, you're not really my child seeing as I didn't help create you. Secondly, you've no mother because your mother is dead and I have no wife."

"But surely I must have a mother? I can't come out of nowhere, can I?" The blond child tilted her head in confusion, her sapphire eyes bored deeply into the demon's. The demon growling in frustration, shaking his furry head at the blonde, who giggle. He gave her a sharp look and she kept quiet, waiting for him to start explaining everything to her.

"Well, of course you didn't come from nowhere. I found you in the ruins of one of the villages that my brother has destroyed. You know I was searching for things to steal instead of finding some useful things, I found you instead. Yes, I found you in the arms of the woman, who could have been your mother."

"What's she like, my mother?"

Kurama sighed. "She's a fool but a smart fool. She begged me to raise you, knowing that I'm a demon, knowing that I'm the king of all demons. She was smart to ask me because I would make you better than any mortal in this world, through I could have simply burned you alive. Yes, she was very brave. Just so you know, it will be the first and last time that you'll ever learn a demon taking care of a mere human. Now this is the last time I'll answer that question."

The girl nodded somberly. "So I'm human, not a demon like you. I'm one of those disgusting humans that you despise so much. So…why do you raise me knowing what I'm?"

"Well, you interest me, brat." The demon smirked.

Naru snorted. "Yes, but why teach me? Why raise me? Am I not one of those humans that disgust you?"

Kurama raised his eyebrow, before he rubbed his chin. "Dragons has taught humans magic along with the Gods so, I thought why not demon teaching a human in magic? And I wanted to see if I could implant my teachings to a human. Will they make the same mistakes like the rest of the humans or not? Until you, I've never found the right student until you. I could have abandoned you as a young baby but I had to take pity on you because you lost your parents to my brother, although it doesn't help that I saw the strength that you can have."

Naru was confused at this reasoning. "Strength? What's so important about me having strength?"

The demon deadpanned. "I'm the King of all demons so of course, no student of mine will be weak. They'll be powerful in both physical and mental, a perfect representation of the King of Demons. You're going to prove those ignorant dragons and gods wrong about whose magic is more powerful."

"So is that the reason why you make me learn those horrible subjects? You just want to show off to the ignorant dragons and gods?" She deadpanned

"Yes." Kurama chuckled. "That and I don't want you to end up like their disgusting students or the vile humans in this world."

"Why do you think those humans are disgusting?"

"They destroy everything in their path, gaki." He gazed coldly at the small town below them. "Trees, flowers, you name it and they will destroy it, not caring about the consequence. This is why most true demons struck terror to humans. We remind them of what the sinful deeds that they've done. Remember what I told you about nature?"

"Nature must have balance because if there's no balance in nature then life as we know it, is gone." She said somberly. "Humans, dragons and even demons will be overthrown with this change and it will cause so many deaths. You say that more deaths is pointless, although it will be hilarious, pointless but completely hilarious."

"Yes, it'll be very hilarious." Her father flashed his canine teeth at her. "Just imagining their deaths makes me smile."

"You know Dad, when you smile like that, you're plain old creepy." She deadpanned. "You sure that you aren't a dog demon in disguise?"

Her father glowered at her, causing the blonde to quirk her lips into a smile. It's always entertaining to insult her father by comparing him to a dog demon. Just to see her father's face turn red was worth any punishment she gets. Then again, she doesn't blame for being pissed at being compared to a dog demon. They were after all vile demons, always finding new ways to cause trouble.

She shivered and scrambled up to the boulder to sit beside her father. Why must they live in the coldest part of the mountains? Leaning against her father's chest, she stared at the village. It was a village filled with humans. Humans, who will try to harm her father if they ever see him. A foolish thought. No one can harm a true demon, not even a dragonslayer or a godslayer, as her father will proudly say. Humans don't have the strength or the knowledge of demons, he said. They don't have a clue about what makes us tick as her father always say.

"Father, why do you consider those disgusting humans weak? I mean beside the fact that they don't have the strength or knowledge to hurt a demon. What are the other reasons? " She tilted her head at him. "Humans must have some strength."

"No, those disgusting humans are weak." Her father spat. "They die easily and do not have the strength that we have. They scramble to power, allowing it to cloud their judgment. They lust for things that they will never have. However, their greatest weakness is their emotions."

"Why is it their greatest weakness?"

"They let their emotions cloud their judgment, brat." He gave her a dark look. "Many wars were cause because of their emotions and families have died because of these emotions. All of those wars wouldn't have happen if they didn't allow their emotions to control them. This is why demons do not allow their emotions to take control of us. This is why I always tell you not to ever let your emotions cloud your judgment."

"I know." Naru lowered her head to face him. "I'll never let my emotions to cloud my judgment. I'll not be like the other disgusting humans."

"Good because no child of mine will be weak or disgusting."

"Okay brat, this is the last test. Remember all the numbers and strokes; you have them all committed to memory. Mess this question up and I'll make you do four hundred push-ups again." Kurama said to his adopted daughter. Naru rolled her eyes at the fox demon before, narrowing her eyes at the paper at hand before biting on the pencil. Reading the question, Naru immediately started writing the answers before pausing. She glanced at her adopted father, who gave her a blank expression. Gulping, Naru finished the answers to all of the questions.

Naru bit her lips and watched as her father scanned at her answer. The blonde licked her lips as her father's tails flickered, waiting for him to respond to the answers that she given.

"Excellent." The fox demon said as he lay down on his fours. "You've proven to me that you aren't a dunce like I thought. You have finally mastered the art of multiplying and dividing. Now, if only you can show me that you won't be so greedy as humans usually are."

"Yes father, I'll prove to you that I won't be so greedy as the disgusting humans usually are." She stared coldly at the town below. "I'll prove to you that taking me in as your child is not a mistake."

"I hope so." Kurama said, staring at her. "Now, let us get to the more fun part since the tedious task is done. I'm going to teach you how to use magic."

Naru grinned at this news. She had heard so many tales about mages from her father and the fox demon never failed to end the story with him scaring them or burning them along with their village/town with the flick of his tails. As a result, Naru had build up an obsession with fire along with destruction. Kurama always burned a few trees to satisfy the girl lust for it.

"AWESOME!" The blonde bounced up and down. "So what're you going to teach me first?" Kurama narrowed his eyes at her, causing the blonde to blush. She quickly turned her face expressionless. The fox demon nodded and gathered a decent amount of magic into his jaws, before concentrating with nature itself, gathering the nearby elements into his claws. A pretty blue flame soon came out of his claws. He soon released towards the direction of the mountain, grinning at the sight of the hole in the mountain.

"THAT'S SO COOL!" Naru gaped at the hole, leaning in to have a better look of it. Kurama growled at his daughter, who merely stared at him with a sheepish look. Having lived around that expression gave Naru's emotion of fear to-be nonexistent.

"How many times have I told you, not to loose control of your emotions." The demon snarled. Naru licked her lips and hesitantly nodded her head at him, causing the demon to give her a small smile.

"Now then, back to your lesson. The most basic demon attack is in the claws. These attacks are usually given the name scratch. It's primary that you mastered it, not only in form but also in precision. I don't want you ending up weak because I was foolish not to make you perfect it, like those…"

"You mean those disgusting dragons?" Naru asked, finishing her father's sentence. Kurama nodded. Having given Naru a brief description of the species around, he had unintentionally given Naru the habit of calling anything weaker then him as disgusting. This brought so much pleasure to him.

"Yes, like the dragons…now as I was saying, if you master the basics of magic then you'll find it easier to do demonslayer magic. Being the King of all demons, I don't only have fire in my arsenal but, also wind so, I'll also teach you some wind magic." The fire demon said. Naru nodded.

"So how do I do it?" the six year old asked. Kurama held up his paws as if he were gripping something. Flames soon erupted from his paws.

"When drawing up flames, you must first draw upon the magic power within your body, which we will work on before we even do the flames. Now then, you concentrate on your surroundings; drawing the natural energy from nature, mix those two gather and you'll have your flame."

He threw the fire to the tree and Naru watch in fascination as the tree burned up.

"Your ability to master these techniques along with my other attacks, will make you one of the strongest mages in all of Earthland."

"So father, how do I draw on my magic power?" Naru asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Sit."

Naru nodded, knowing that it's best to listen to the fox demon especially, when his tone becomes even more forceful. Naru sat down, cross-legged, on the dirt and looked up.

"So what do I have to do now?"

"Breathe slowly and clear your mind of your thoughts, Naru." Naru closed her eyes and exhaled. Kurama nodded his head in satisfaction as the girl repeated the action many times before speaking again.

"It's important that you know what magic is." Her adopted father said gravely. "Magic is the physical embodiment of the spirit and it is stored within a separate system. When the physical spirit of an organism connects with the spiritual flow of nature, the spirit forms Magic. Magic is the product of the connection. Only ten percent of the world's population is able to use Magic, this is because it keeps the balance between ordinary people and those with Magic. It takes an enormous amount of concentration and mental ability to use Magic. Mages can learn multiple styles of Magic, but it is noteworthy that many Mages have natural affinities for their own Magic style. Fortunate for you, I know many styles of Magic." Kurama muttered at the last part. "Being alive for so long is a blessing in disguise."

Naru concentrated deeply on the action of drawing out any magic power she could find, sweat forming on her face. She searched for something, anything that would feel different from inside of her body. Nothing. Not even a funny feeling. Maybe, she was doing something wrong. Was it possible that she shouldn't try to find it? Perhaps, she needs to envision it.

She focused on her physical spirit, imagining it to be a huge ball of thread in her mind's eyes. She imagined herself picking a thread that was her spirit and allowed it to go through the needle. Naru felt herself being flooded with magic power...it was...overwhelming, but in a good way. She looked at her hands and observed the burning flames. It didn't feel painful, if anything it felt tickles.

"You've done well for your first try." Naru smiled at this. "However, this just means that I've now more expectations for you to master my magic, brat."

"Yes, Tou-san."
