Having delved in deep into Kitsune lore in the last few hours by pure curiosity. It appears  the Kitsune are neither bad nor evil really. Tricksters, yes. They just don't care. HOWEVER, they will seek revenge if they have been deeply offended which seems to be the case here.

                                             ===The Nogitsune===

The Nogitsune are the “wild” breed of Kitsune. Affiliated with neither Inari nor filled with malicious intent. These are the more “neutral” factor of Kitsune in the fox realm; these are what you would consider the pedestrian of the Kitsune race. Often they are brown or red coated, as those are the most common of the Nogitsune. They value freedom and cunning over all. Often they will help a random traveler simply because they wish to, and just as often they will terrorize someone because they are bored. Nogitsune are often considered wanderers, they are by nature the classification with the most freedom to choose their own actions. This ability is highly coveted by Kitsune kind, as above all else they value freedom. side note: in some cultures, because the nogitsune is not affiliated with either inari or particularly malicious in their pleasures, they are described as "disgraced kitsune" who have lost their tails and are trying to get them back. this intrepretation is generally that of a myobu who was punished by inari. however, this is not the only view portrayed of them.

                                                ===The Reiko===

The reiko are the supposed “evil” genus of Kitsune. These are the fox spirits who have indulged in their darker desires and live only to appease themselves (2). These Kitsune are affiliated with an element referred to as “void”, and generally have a black coat of fur. Reiko are the darker of the Kitsune, while retaining the natural curiosity and wish for amusement as the others of its breed, Reiko are generally described much differently. Being vindictive towards people, and sometimes downright hostile to them, Reiko are very much the antagonists of the various lore. While they do not officially bear any grudge against myobu, the Reiko and myobu Kitsune classes do not get along well. Myobu see Reiko as the evil of existence and a stain upon Kitsune honor. The Reiko dislikes the myobu’s “holier than thou” attitude, and takes every chance they get to hinder them.
