Kitsune: A Japanese Folktale (preview)
"Kitsune" is my attempt to write my own Japanese folktale, complete with princesses, a mystical boyfriend, samurai, an evil prince, magic and gods in the background. Would you also believe me if I said this was originally a semi-fanfic of Naruto?

Well simple in its form with the perceived classic elements.
Classic Japanese stories start with: mukashi, mukashi "Long ago, long ago." if you wish to spin it in classical opening. It is a double, story call.
Tale World Versus story world: The story and world you are telling versus the real world/folk/myth space.
"But what of the bitemark itself?” she asked. “Am I cursed like the legends say? Will I turn into a Kitsune like you?”
Once again, the boy laughed. “The legends are wrong, your highness. Such a transformation is only possible if the one bitten also consents to it.”"
Not really a part of the scape in either negative or Yokoi fox tales as part of that myth/folk scape, but it is your tale if you still wish to use that concept.
Still, it is a good start.
