She stares into my eyes, and her deep red gaze pierces my mind. I can hear something in my head, next; it's a voice, and it sounds feminine but deep at the same time. "Filthy human," The voice sounds off in my mind. "How dare you disrespect me like that! Where are your manners?"
I know I'm a bit delirious, but the way that the Ninetales is staring at me makes me think she's speaking directly to me telepathically, somehow. "I'm sorry! I didn't see you there," I whisper; I don't really want the bus driver to hear this commotion.
My words do little to quell her anger. The more I try to make things right, the madder she gets. She sits right up on her haunches, her fluffy tails standing up straight behind her as they sway rhythmically. "You... you filthy human! Do you really think a simple sorry can cover for such a heinous act?" Every word feels like a needle in my brain. "Your children, your children's children, and their children too! Your bloodline deserves to be cursed for an eternity for these thoughtless actions!"
I don't even know what to say; I'm pushing my luck here already, but I retort, "I don't have any kids, and I don't plan on having any either. Sounds like your curse isn't going to go very far." I give her a slight chuckle, hoping to lighten the mood, but it doesn't work. It only makes things worse—of course.
She starts crawling over to me, her tails are still raised high and it looks like she's going to attack me or something. I back myself up against the wall of the bus as she approaches, but it doesn't do anything to slow her approach, either. "Oh? I guess I'll have to fix that then!" She snarls, her words bouncing around in my mind.
