As the story goes, you could say that ... it's complicated. Originally, Kitsune wanted Takeshi Tatsuo to help her in her plan to resurrect her father The Dragon (because Takeshi was the reincarnation of the Dragon). Takeshi could not be useful, so Kitsune, years later, made a pact with Oroku "The Shredder" Saki (incarnation of Takeshi) promising greatness and power. And to carry out his plan, Kitsune and Saki got married and had offspring, Shredder made a Harakiri and his corpse was put in an Oze coffin to preserve it until they had to revive it and then Kitsune also did it (and that part is something weird, since history makes us understand that Kitsune is technically an immortal goddess, but one is to know). The Oroku Clan (who descended from Saki and Kitsune) were demigods who carried the roots of the genalogíco tree until modern times with Oroku Yori and his daughter Oroku Karai. In an astral conversation while sleeping, Karai was chosen by her "grandfather" (Shredder) to be his herald and the one in charge of bringing him back. For that, Karai had to eliminate his father because he was considered weak and useless in the Clan's plans and so Shredder was able to return to life. Afterwards Shredder revived Kitsune for being a powerful ally and on occasion we saw some affectionate relationship, but Kitsune continued with his plan to use Saki as a vessel for the return of his father (The Dragon). In the final stage to bring the Dragon back, we see that Kitsune did feel things for Shredder, but loyalty to his father surpassed her and equally completed his ritual to make The Dragon possess Shredder's corpse to revive. Thanks to the sacrifice of Splinter (the Rat Father of the Turtles), Shredder was able to recover his body and be alive again, having a compassionate moment with Kitsune letting him understand that maybe he also loved her.

This is just speculation and theory as far as I understood in the comic.
