Bleach The Kitsune and the Princess

Of course, the question is if Rukia would wind up facing the flaming chicken in the first place, given how Tatsuki could just grab her and teleport away while Ichigo and the sand-guy are growling at Byakuya. Even limited to line of sight, they'd have to search the entire Soul Society to find the two of them.
True, but why does she have to be handed powers that obviously compliment her fighting style?
Tatsuki finds out she can create illusions and begins to think 'Ok, so how can I work with this?' It doesn't have to be anything over the top. She creates an illusion of herself and sends it after her foe, following it invisibly herself. They swing and pass through the illusion with no effect and while they're surprised Tatuki lands a few hits herself.
Tatsuki could even complain a little about how uncomplementary her powers are.
If you want another possible source for her powers, look up the anime Inu-Kami. I forget how many tails the girl had, but I think her father had nine. Just to give you an idea of how powerful he was, he turned a large group of priests to stone instantaneously and he restored them by reversing time for them. There was more he did in the short time I saw him fight, but that's all I remember off hand.

You guys are probably gonna hate me for this, but what if Aizen was actually a female kitsune posing as a male captain? The reason she had become a shinigami was because she thought she could help Soul Society considering she was nine tails, however this changed about twenty years ealier. And now she was doing everything she had until now because she had been turned down for some orange haired skank named Masaki? The man who she had revealed herself to had told her "Not even Kami-sama could make me give up Masaki or if you were Kami himself I still woulnd't gvie her up." So she has started her revenge by aiming to become Kami to show Isshin the error of his ways before wiping him out of existence.
-------------------------
There Aizen stood infront of the throne of heaven facing all of what remained of Soul Society as they lay defeated.
"As King my first action is to declare myself Queen." Aizen stated with cackle, his features slowly shifting to that of a gorgeous woman with nine flowing fox tails behind her.
"I think my brain just broke." Ichigo said.

That would give an explanation HOW Tatsuki is stopped from 'porting (or has her 'port redirected) if she tries to flee with Rukia. Something along the lines of the 'one finger to stop Bankai' trick Aizen pulled on Ichigo.
Though it could be creepy, Aizen taking Fatherly (Motherly) pride in Tatsuki, already a two or three tail by the end of the Soul Society arc? *sniff* They grow up so fast. *sniff* Even better if Aizen kicks Kitsune society on it's ear by jacking up the pressure on Tatsuki. How will they respond to a Shinigami trained 'spiritual sister' that levels up insanely fast, pals around with Shinigami, including a 'living' one, doesn't seem to give a damn about 'flying under the radar', AND who's power development and fighting style is heavily influenced by the 'Goddess of Flash'?
If Kitsune are all about subtly, Tatsuki might win by being THEIR version of Kenpachi Zaraki. Brutal and direct as a brick to the face, but so damn powerful that it is pretty effective. Higher tail Kitsune build elaborate plots and deceptions, 'Let you and HIM fight', and Tatsuki comes barreling through them like a wrecking ball.

Again... Just like Ichigo. ^_^
Of course, even without illusions a nine tails is nothing to sneeze at. Their strength, speed and agility are definitely superhuman, and their foxfire teleportation ability is even faster than shunpo for the simple reason that they are not moving faster, but taking a shortcut through spacetime itself.
Many ninetails and some seven to eight tails can control their foxfire so precisely that they can target parts of an enemy's body, such as the heart, and teleport it out of them. This technique is the Shoushitsuten, or "Vanishing Point". There are dozens of variations on the technique-Teleporting chunks of a person away in the shape of sword slashes, simply beheading an enemy, or something as focused and sadistic as teleporting the blood out from a person's veins. Even a "botched" foxfire portal can be a potent weapon, mangling a person as they transit through it. This ability can be canceled out with sufficient spiritual pressure, or by another kitsune that has sufficient control over their own foxfire to negate the ability in another.
And they are certainly not above using weapons forged from reishi and foxfire. While foxfire cannot burn, persay, as it is a distortion in spacetime, if properly focused it can press and shape steel into nearly unbreakable weapons. However, weapons like these are understandably rare.

Tatsuki pwning seven, eight, or nine tails out of the gate? No, that'd be too over the top. OTOH being able to punch a tail or two above her 'weight class' in a direct fight? Sure. Even better if the contact kitsune sent out to find a 'sort of one tail' finds her with a few extra, and holding her own against opponents that should require one or two more.
Would trying to build a bastardized version of shunk lead her into Shoushitsuten? Of course it'd likely be inelegant, where a fully trained kitsune would leave a neat sword slash, she'd go for power and punch a hole that looks like she took a BFG to the target.

The Magical Girl Kitsune and Strawberry School of Combat, if you are leaving scorch marks you are not using enough power. :flameon:

Did kitsune have any other powers in mythology that could be used?
From what I understand...kitsune are supposed to be able to take on a human form once they have enough experience, though a lot of the time they're supposed to place something on their forehead in order to transform...a broad leaf, reeds, or a skull are common, and their shape isn't limited to their own gender. They can also assume the shape of a specific person.
Kitsune also tend to have a fear or a hatred of dogs.
Possession as an ability isn't particularly rare...a kitsune is supposed to be able to possess another human, usually a young woman, entering either beneath the fingernails or through her breasts, and their facial expressions often change to a more foxlike one.
In some myths, they've also been known to:
-enter people's dreams and manifest there
-fly
-become invisible
-create illusions so elaborate that they're indistinguishable from reality
-feed on the life force of human beings, typically through sexual contact
Another note, nine-tailed kitsune are generally supposed to gain the ability to see and hear anything happening anywhere in the world...though some myths have expanded this into actual omniscience.
Edit: You may also be interested in checking out this site, specifically Japanese Fox Stories and Common Misconceptions About Fox Spirits.
Edit Edit: Not that accuracy in kitsune myths is necessarily what you're going for, it would seem...but it is interesting. At least, to me.

Heck, Kitsune are often said of "pick what is of others"...can you see Tatsuki somehow, seeing something shiny and nice, then having to hit the walls with her head, as she has a near-irrepressible desire of steal it?
Hmm, Four in Japanese also is the word for death, and is considered an unlucky number.
Fourth tail is the 'death tail', either a Deadly Upgrade, a Glass Canon, or with berserker tendencies. Maybe more pronounced if earned in combat, and represents the first serious break point in kitsune tails. Some just never have the interest or are willing to risk going four tails.
Rock Lee would be the first with his Chakra gates, the middle is a classic 'egg shell armed with a seldgehammer'. If you are familar with Battletech the Hunchback IIC could be a Glass Canon template, jaw dropping firepower, for two and a half salvos. :headbanger: A large but very shallow can of whoop ass. If your target isn't defeated when you run out (or you miss) then you are truly fucked.
One other though if you canonize 'Magical Girl Kistune'. Perhaps other young Kitsune or Kitsune kin (relatively speaking) want in on the 'Magical Girl' act? Could be played for laughs, annoyance, or WAFFiness (Ururu asking Tatsuki to autograph her MGK stuff, and the fanvixens going 'ah ha!') Though to avoid dragging in to many characters (if used at all) they'd only occasional show up (when they could sneak out) and/or be more support and tutors.
