The House of the Waiting Family
I am so sorry... I planed on having this up by Christmas, and then I thought I could get it up by New Years... nope, so, uh, Happy Valentines Day? I've had this chapter planned since Kuso died, so don't think this chapter was just made to put some drama in the series. Also, I have a character contest in this chapter. If you can guess the character I am nudging towards, I'll have a spot for you (or one of your characters) in the next chapter. (Details at the end)
-----
*1*
You puff out air heavily as you continue forward. The rain had stopped about an hour ago, leaving the air full of the heavy smell of mildew. "Kuso...", came a voice from behind. It was Kitsune, panting deeply. "Please... we need to rest. We've been running for... hours. You might not be tired... but we're exhausted.", she says, leaning against a tree. You just nod. `I can't believe that I got this far, and I really can't believe they followed`.
Dylan and Tsune release a sigh of relief simultaneously as they flop down in front of two trees respectively. You sit down in front of another, leaning against it. The tree was cool, almost making you want to sink into it. You were drenched in sweat, as well as the other two. ``You really shouldn't stop yet...``. *sigh* That voice has been following you. You thought you left it behind with the problem of being imprisoned, but that was not the case. It's been making crude remarks, and just overall not shutting up.
The other two are breathing slowly, finally catching their breath. Your chest stops heaving, relaxing your muscles. You start to count. `One, two, three, four, five...`. You continue this up until one-hundred, and then stand up. "Okay, ready?", you asks.
"Yeah, but...", says Dylan, slowly getting up.
"What?".
"Uh, where are we going?", he asks, finally up. `That's a good question...`. You really don't know where you are going, you were just, kinda, going.
"I'm... not exactly... certain", you say, rubbing your arm. The three of you stand there, trying to think of something. Tsune keeps looking over at you, sort of half way, then back at the patch of grass in front of her. "What is it, you got something?", you ask, locking your fingers behind your back. She tenses up when she hears you, every inch of her body going stiff as a board. Her eyes shoot to yours, her mouth starting to quiver, and she to mouth something. Air comes out, but no words. "Uh, Tsune?", you ask, walking over next to her. The rain from the previous night had washed away the stuff in her fur, but she still looked terrible. Even through her facial fur, her cheek bones stood out, as well as her shoulders. She just, well, looked ghastly. (No pun intended)
"Y-Yeah, I've got a p-place...", she says, lowering her head. `Where ever it is, it sure looks like she doesn't want to go there`.
``Great deduction, Mr. Obvious...``.
`*Growls* Shut up. Not now`.
"Where?". Luckily, Dylan asked before you had to. She looks over at him and smiles.
"Well...", she starts. The smile fades as her lip starts to quiver again, and she finally says it. "My parent's house".
---
The three of you have started again about an hour ago. You find no more reason to run; it looks as though they have given up chasing you down. Your little troop is walking in a line, not by choice, but it just kinda, happened. Kitsune is in the front, head down, dragging her feet, and apparently trying to delay herself. You are in the middle and Dylan is in the back. You quicken up your pace so you are right on her heels. Avoiding her tail, you slink up to her left, and grab her hand. She looks up at you, her eyes glazed over, staring blankly back at you. She just smiles, and puts her head back down. You look strait forward, and see a trail strait across your line of vision. You feel her embrace your hand in a grip, which was uncomfortably tight. With her squeezing your hand, she takes a right on the path, and continues on.
You look back, making sure the boy was keeping up. He was doing just fine, looking around at the scenery. The three of you could have looked like some kind of family, the mother and father, holding hands, and the child behind, looking at the scenery. But, as you know, that's far from the case. `It was amazing that the kid was this trouble-free, especially after what had just been happening to him`. You are pulled out of your thoughts by a rough tug from your hand. Your eyes quickly shoot back to Tsune, who was just staring blankly at the area ahead. Her eyes were so wide, you thought they were going to roll back in her head. You look forward, seeing what she was looking at. It was a rock, maybe up to your knee, for which there was words carved into, and the road forks off to the left and right around it, off in their respective directions.
Tsune quickly lets go of your hand, and runs over to the rock. She almost skids to her knees, and puts her hands on the front of the rock, taking care to not touching any of the words. You slowly walk up behind her. Her eyes are closed, and her mouth is moving silently. You look up, and read the rock. All there was was one sentence, "Rest in Peace, my love." You just look blankly at it, and then read it again. And, just as before, it just read, "Rest in Peace, my love." No one says anything, the moment becoming completely silent. Dylan has walked up next to you, looking at the writing.
After a few minutes, Tsune stands up, and nods at the two of you. "Sorry, lets go...", she says, walking off onto the left path. You and Dylan look at each other, then hurry after her.
---
Some more minutes of walking, your trio finally finds its destination. It was a beautiful house, (you know, strait from a generic 60` sitcom?) with the white fence, white paint job on a red roofed, one story house, the same path you are on leads right up to the door. There is someone on the left hand side of the house, crouched over doing something. You look over at Tsune. Her eyes are calm now, but then grow wide again. "Oh shit...", she mutters. If you didn't have canine ears, you wouldn't have been able to hear her. You look over, and just as you are about to ask "what?", you hear a high-pitched scream. You look back over at the person on the side of the house. A look of pure terror was pasted on the face of a woman. She was looking strait at you, eyes bulging.
"Y-Your d-d-dead! W-Why... no, HOW c-can you be here?!", she screams backing up, eyes piercing strait into yours. `Huh?!`. You look over at Tsune, who sighs, and walks over to the woman. "Tsune! How?! I thought he was dead!", she says as Tsune puts her arms around her. She whispers something in her ear, and she gets a look of mild shock on her face, and looks strait at you, pushing Tsune away lightly. She walks up to you, stomping with each step, eventually reaching you and looks up into your eyes angrily. "Fine, if your not him...", she says, going around your back. You stay still, hair standing up on your neck. You can feel her making her way around you. Finally, you feel two fingers jab right below your left shoulder blade. You slightly flinch, but keep perfectly still. She comes back around, looking into your eyes again. "Okay, fine, you not him.", she says, walking back over to Tsune. "Ok then, who is that?", she asks Tsune.
.
"Well, his name is Kuso, and his...", pointing to the boy, "is Dylan".
"Ok, good, but... what happened to you?!", she says, finally seeing Tsune's condition.
"Well, I was hoping we could rest here for a while...".
"Of course! Why wouldn't we?!", she says, wrapping her arms around Tsune, then two of them make their way to the door. You and Dylan look at each other again, and then hurry in after them. Almost the second that you entered, you hear a small squeal. You look over and see a Zangoose standing in a hallway on the other end of the room. His face looked like almost an exact replica of the woman's face when she saw you. *Sigh, shakes head* The woman walks over to the Zangoose, kneels, and says something.
All you could hear was his reply, which was, "Are you sure?". She nods her head, and stands back up.
"Come, sit.", she says, gesturing to the couch. You and Dylan both sit on the couch, which Tsune had already sit on. The Zangoose hops up onto the part of the couch next to Tsune, on the far right side. The two of them started to talk, well; it was more of a shower of "what have you been doing?" 's from the Zangoose. She just drooped her head sadly and kept saying "sorry". For what, you have no idea.
After a few minutes, the woman comes back with a tray with many different types of food, ranging from berries, to bread and meat. She sets the tray down on the table in front of the couch, and says, "Go ahead, you guys look starved". You immediately reach down and grab a piece of meat. It was a good chunk of pork, and was all in your maw in a second.
You look over to the right, and all three of them were looking at you with a look of astonishment on their faces. "Whrt?", you ask, trying to chew it. Finally swallowing, the woman brings out some water. She sets three glasses with ice on the table, and a silver pitcher with water. She pours water into each, and sets them in front of each of you. Almost as if synchronized, the three of you reach out, and drink the entire glass. Sighing, the glasses hit the table with just a single loud clack. You reach out again, this time grabbing a chunk of bread. You look to your right, then hand it to Dylan. He takes it, and starts to rip at it with his teeth. You hand another piece of bread over the now hunched Dylan, to Tsune, who gladly accepted it.
---
"Ahh", the three of you sigh, leaning back. The plate brought in was long emptied, as well as two others, the fourth being slightly picked from. "Thanks for the food and water", you say, nodding slightly at the woman.
"It is no problem, really. I can see that you were starved, so, I did what any caring citizen would do.", she says smiling. She then gets up and grabs the plate. "By the way, my name is Nagomi, and him, the Zangoose, is Akigashi, my mate.", she says, smiling. `Interesting... she refers to being his mate as anyone would refer to any courtship. Its just such a... primitive way of saying it... and for a human to say it that way... is just... unusual`. "And, as you may have already guessed, we are Kitsune's parents.", she finishes.
"Hey, um, do you think that we could get washed up? Ya know, because... well, as I'm sure, you can tell why.", you say, leaning your head back.
"Sure, the bathrooms down that hall...", she says, pointing down the hallway, "... and is the first door down".
"Does anyone else want to wash up first?", you ask, looking at the other two.
"Mm-mmm," Tsune says, shaking her head. "I want to discuss something with my parents". You look down, finding Dylan shaking his head as well. Sighing, you stand, and go down the hallway. You grab the door knob, but turn your head back to the living room.
"Hey, uh, thanks again for being so nice to us...", you say, smiling.
"Really, it's no problem", said the Zangoose, Akigashi. You just nod, and open the door. `Oh my god... their bathroom is just... just so... generic`. You shut the door behind you and walk into the white tiled room. You throw the shorts off into the far corner, and walk over to the shower. You pull the sheet back, and put your hands towards the knobs, and turn the one with an "H" to the right. Water starts to emerge from the showerhead, hitting the bottom of the bathtub, steam coming up from the bottom. You step into the shower, and the sizzling water hits your fur, almost burning the dirt off. You reach for some shampoo, and after lathering it in your paws, you rub it into your fur. The shower is just doing wonders on your aching muscles, soothing them, ceasing the cramps. As soon as every inch of your body is covered in soap, you step back into the shower's torrent, washing off the foam, and then proceed to do it again.
Once every part of your body is rid of dirt and smells, you turn off the water, and step out of the shower. You quickly grab the towel that's on the counter before a puddle forms under you. You wipe off, drying every inch of your body from head to toe. Once your as dry as you can get, you set the towel back down on the counter. Then, you hear a noise from behind you... a giggle.
You quickly spin around and, just as you suspected, there was that mew again, sitting on the toilet. *Sigh* "What are you doing here?", you ask, reaching for the towel again.
She giggles again, and replies, "Oh, I just came to admire the view.". She winks at you as you try fruitlessly to tie the towel around your waist.
"I meant other than that", you say, giving up and throwing the towel back on the counter.
"Well, my superiors have another, uh, "job" for you...", she says, kind of dazing out.
"Which is...?", you say, getting a little intolerant for this now.
"... Oh, sorry. We need you to find the leader of Team Omega...", she says, crossing her legs.
"And do what?", you ask.
"We need you to... "convince" him to disband Team Omega.", she says.
"And how would I do that?", you say, already having an idea.
"Well, if you can't convince him peacefully, then you may have to use a more, vulgar method. Also, if that comes up, something you may find interesting can be done. See, they live by the "keep what you kill" rule. So, if you kill a grunt, you can be a grunt. An admin? You can be one of those too. Or, if you kill the leader..."
"...I can become the leader, and disband the group myself.", you reply, leaning against the counter.
"Yes, but there is a reason he is still the only one to have ever lead Omega. The reason for that is because... he is like you."
"Like me?"
"Yes, he is an Anthro, just as you, and has an ability special to him too, just like yours is Agility. But even with all of our resources, we don't know everything. We don't know what it is, but we just know he has it."
"I really don't have a choice whether to do it or not, do I?", you ask.
"No, not really.", she says grinning.
"Ok then, can I ask a favor then?", you say, standing up strait.
"That depends, what is it?", she replies.
"I want to contact someone... my mate.", you say, smiling. "She's a psychic-type, so you should be able to find her, right?".
"Of course! I could contact someone on the other side of the world if I needed to! How dare you belittle me!", she says, faking taking offence. "I just need her species, name, and the general area of where she is.", she says, closing her eyes.
"Espeon, Ele, and in Petalburg Woods", you say, having this memorized by heart. "Oh yeah, one other thing... Could we have a little privacy?", you ask, clasping your hands together.
"Sure, you at least deserve that much...", she says, eyes staying shut. She reaches out a hand, and says, "Touch it." You oblige, and the same feeling of lightheadedness came over you, and just as before, you ended up in the white room. But the only difference this time is you are alone. "Just a few seconds...", you hear, echoing in the voice of the mew through the room. `Clearing my head, and thinking of what to say is the best thing to do here`. Just then, a fuzzy, light-purple frame of an Espeon came into view, showing that she was able to find her.
"Kuso?", she says, cocking her head. `And here it comes...`. "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?!?!", she screams, advancing to not-but two feet away from you. "I wake up in a bed, and nearly got my ass smacked by a broom from that boy for being in your room when you weren't there!!".
"It wasn't my fault!!", you say back, feeling slightly mad at her reaction, all though you knew it was coming. *Sigh* "I got abducted while I went to the bathroom.", you explain as calmly as you could muster.
"You'd better be telling the truth! If you just left to get away from me..."
"...Then why would I contact you?!", you interrupt. She opens her mouth for a come-back, but none comes out. She just shuts her mouth and looks down at a spot a few inches from her feet. A blush appears on her face a few seconds later, showing what you said to have sunk in. After a few seconds, you feel it safe to continue. "Also, that is not the only reason I contacted you... the other reason is to tell you, I have to go somewhere else, and won't be back for while."
"Where do you have to go?", she asks, keeping her head down.
"Uh, well, I don't know yet, but it will probably take about another week, maybe two.", you say, making an estimate.
"That's ok, I can wait a little longer. I've waited for a year for you to return to me, I think I can wait a little longer.", she says, raising her head and smiling. You lean forward, and grab the back of her head, scritching the back of her ear. Then you pull her in and kiss her lightly on the jewel in her forehead. She smiles when you let her head go back to its original position.
You stand up, and look down at her. "We're done, right?", you ask. She nods, and you nod back. You crane your head up and scream, "WE'RE DONE!!", hoping the mew would hear, apparently she did, as you start to feel lightheaded again. You look down at her, and say one last thing to her, "I love you." She smiles and mouths something, but no sound came out. Instead, you find yourself back in the bathroom, looking at the mew, whose eyes were still closed. But the eyes open in a few seconds, and she looks at you.
"Is that everything?", she asks, sounding exhausted. You nod, and she returns it. A pink bubble appears around her. She waves at you as the bubble shrinks until she is gone. *Sigh* Suddenly, there is a knock at the door.
"What?", you say, rather rudely.
"I was getting some clothes for everyone, and I set yours on the bed in the next room over, ok?", you hear Nagomi say.
"Yeah, thanks!", you say, and the footsteps go off and eventually disappear from within hearing range. You grab the towel again, and wrap it around yourself. You don't even try to tie it this time, you just hold it. You open the door, and bolt from the door to the one next door. It's not like you're embarrassed, it's just a reflex. You shut the door quickly, and walk over to the bed. The room is just as generic as the bathroom, with a dresser, a window above the purple covered bed. On the bed there are a set of blue jeans, and a black shirt. You pick up the pants and find that they already have a hole in the back, so you proceed to dress.
---
*2*
Once everything is on, you walk back out into the living room. The shower has been going for a while, and as you walk out, you find that it's Dylan. Tsune is sitting in the exact same place as last time, only now with a clean shirt and pants. She is discussing something with her parents, but when you walk in, she stops and looks at you, her parents soon mimicking her. Feeling very awkward, you slowly walk over and sit on the opposite end of the couch, their eyes following you the entire way. Finally, they all burst into laughter, lifting a load off of you.
"Hahahaha... oh my god, you looked so scared...", said Tsune, quickly returning to her laughing fit. You just smile. `I'm so glad that's all it was...`.
"That's not very funny", you say, crossing your arms in mock-insult, which just made them laugh harder. `Its amazing how someone's mood can change from a simple change of scenery. I mean, Tsune was just going all emo, but now she's acting as though she doesn't have a care in the world`. You finally smile and laugh with them.
Finally, after the laughter had died down, you ask another thing, "Is it alright if I go out and have a breath of fresh air?".
"Sure, just head out the door you came in through.", says Nagomi. You get up, and just as you do, the Zangoose hops off of the couch.
"Mind if I join you?", he asks, smiling. You just shrug, and walk out the door. Only then do you notice it is already getting late, and the sun has already set, leaving a reddish-purple color strewn across the sky. The only other light than the faint glow of the sky was soon cut off as the door was shut behind you, and Akigashi walks out. "Nice night", he says, making his way over to the right.
"Yeah, just beautiful...", you say, entranced by the dusks atmosphere. You snap out of it when you hear a click and the crackle of fire. You look over to the noise and see the Zangoose lighting a cigarette, brining it to his lips.
"Sorry... it's a habit I'm trying to break, but I just needed one... because of the circumstances...", he says, the cigarette bobbing as he talks. A few seconds pass, small dissipating clouds of smoke slowly glide idly through the air, before disappearing entirely. "You found my daughter in Petalburg, correct?", he asks suddenly, breaking the silence. You nod, prying your eyes away from the sky once again. "Did she ever explain why she was there?", he asks, inhaling deeply, making the red on the end of the stick turn bright.
"No", you reply bluntly, becoming curious.
"Well, it's an old Zangoose tradition. When your love dies, and if you truly love them, they go out, away from their pack, away from everything and one that would help them.", he pauses, taking a long drag on the cigarette.
"It is a type of extreme mourning, and only very close couples do it. When one of the two dies, the other stays secluded, and away from others. If they can survive for a year on their own, they have proven their eternal devotion to that other person, their mate. It is only done by some Zangoose clans, but I made the mistake of telling Tsune that story as a child. She did it for her so-called "mate", Yane. She left almost exactly 13 months ago, so we were expecting her back soon, but not like this.", he finishes, taking another puff of smoke.
"So is that who you thought I was, Yane?", you ask.
"Yes. You see, there was something about himself that made him feel as though he was better than any other intelligent being, making him feel as though he could belittle them. The only person he was ever nice to, at least as far as I could tell, was Kitsune. She was madly in love with him, as he was with her. The reason that we were afraid you were him was... well, other than you look so much like him, but the other reason is how he treated me and Nagomi. Once, he even went so far as to slice me when I forbade Tsune to go with him.", he says, holding up his arm, revealing a fully healed scar. "But what was odd to me was the fact that you do look so much like him. I mean, he is dead, but you could easily be his twin, if not, just be in his body.", he finishes. By now, his cigarette was at the filter, so he just threw it on the ground and stomped it. "You don't have any siblings, do you?", he asks.
"I do, but none of them named Yane.", you reply. `Could it be...?`.
"Alright, that's good to know. Well, I'm done out here, see you inside.", he says, swinging the door open, then closed behind him. You sigh, looking back up at the sky. `Could it really be true, am I actually in Yane's old body?`. The sky had lost the beautiful shade strewn about it and was now black with the stunning sparkling stars. You turn and head back in.
Dylan and Tsune were now sitting on the couch, and by the water still in Tsune's fur, you'd say she just got out of the shower, also for the fact she was now in different clothing. /Dylan, on the other hand, looked very unkempt. His hair was sticking strait back, his long sleeved white shirt was all wrinkled, as well at the long blue jeans he had on. He had the flat of his thumb in his mouth, and his knees were up to his cheeks, feet on the very edge of the cushion. His two big toes were twirling around each other, almost could be called "twiddling", which you do with your thumbs. He had a much glazed look in his eye, and he seemed very nervous. As soon as you sit down, he jumps, going back to a human's regular sitting position, legs hanging loosely of the end of the couch.
The five of you sat there and talked, though you mostly just listened. According to the clock, when you came in, it was about eight, and when everyone was done talking, it was almost ten. Everyone started to yawn, signaling that sleep was starting to become inevitable. After being shown to your room, you decide to go to the bathroom. You are sharing the guest room with Dylan, and apparently Tsune was staying in her old room.
As you sit on the toilet, you start to hear the voice in your head again.
``Um, hi Kuso...``.
`Uh, hi... You've been awful quiet.`.
``Yes, that's because I wanted to try to let you, ya know, not get to hate me...``.
`Oh? And whys that?`.
``Well, mostly because we're gonna be spending a lot of time together, ya know, with sharing the body and all, but...``.
`"But?"`.
``The other reason is because... because I want to ask you for a favor...``.
---
(Switching...)
You lay in the dark, your chest slowly rising and falling in rhythm. You are staring at the pitch-black ceiling as though there was none there. `Why can't I get to sleep?`. You cover your eyes and roll over, but that does not help. You hear shuffling that crosses your door through the hall, the noise of the bathroom door opening, then closing. You look over onto your bed stand at the LCD clock, reading in red numbers "10:19". You roll onto your back again, your hand falling to your chest. You shut your eyes tightly, and even go so far as to cover your face with a pillow, but nothing seems to work. You just lay there in silence, trying to calm down.
In the last 24 hours you have: escaped being imprisoned, ran for miles, and came back to your parents, who you thought had disowned you. Yep, it was a pretty full day. You roll over and look at the clock again. "10:52". `I could try to read a magazine... no, there's nothing good here, at least not in this room. I could go out to the living room and watch television... no, either the light or the noise would wake someone, and then I would have to turn it off anyway, so that would just waste a trip. But of course, there is always...`. You reach down between your legs, but hesitate slightly `No, I ain't doing that. With the extra noses in the house, I might... heh, I might get one of them sex hungry. So, not that...`.
You hear the bathroom door open and close again. You jump slightly, being jostled out of your thoughts, sitting strait up in your bed. `I totally forgot someone was in there`. You glance over at the clock, inspecting the red numbers again. "11:03". The footsteps seemed different now, almost slower, and more solemn. They pass the next room, the room to your left, but they silence when they reach your door. You pull the sheet up protectively up to your chin. `Could... could Team Omega... have followed us?`. You hear the doorknob jiggle slightly, and then turn. You slam your head back down on the pillow, shutting your eyes, pretending to be asleep. You hear the door opening, then being shut quietly. You can hear soft footfall, making its way over next your bed. All of the sudden your feel a hand brush lightly against your cheek. You fight back the urge to just sit up and slap whoever it was across the face. The perpetrator's hand retracts after a second, then a deep voice replaces it. "Well, it looks as though I have just wasted a trip", the perpetrator said in an obviously male voice. `That voice... its so familiar... but... that's impossible...`.
You hear the footsteps start to retreat back to the door. `Damn... if that is him, then why don't I just ask? Well, for the obvious reason that if it isn't him, it might be someone from Omega. But, if it is...`. "Yane?", you ask, taking a shot in the dark. You hear the footsteps stop, and slowly turn around.
"Oh, so you are awake.", he says, the footsteps approaching you again. You shut your eyes again, hoping for the best. You feel him sit on the bed, making it sag a little.
"Is it really you, Yane?", you ask again, sitting up.
"Yes its me.", he replies, putting a hand to your cheek again.
"But how?", you ask, nuzzling subconsciously into his hand.
"That, I cannot explain. But, I have come back to tell you something...".
"Wh-what is it?", you ask, stammering.
"I, uh, left something for you up in the attic. You probably forgot about it because of my... current predicament. But, it is still there... I just wanted to make sure you remembered.", he said, getting up from the bed rather quickly.
"Wait!", you say softly. The footsteps stop again. "Is that it? Is that all you wanted to say?"
"Well, no. there are more things I was hoping to say, I just... am not sure how to say them...", he says, the footsteps traversing to the side of the bed again.
"Just say them, please, just stay a little longer.", you say, reaching out for his arm. You quickly find it, and pull it hard 'til you hear a grunt and the bed sags again. "I just want to be with you again, to have you hold me in your arms, to embrace me, to love me."
"Alright, I'm guessing that you're not giving me much choice in the matter...", he says, his arms wrapping around your shoulders and hugging you close to him. Your fur intermingles with his, white with black, even in the perfect darkness, you know the feeling. The way he has you, the perfect amount of force and affection that only Yane, your mate, could ever have perfected. The two of you just sit there in silence once again, contradicting the very reason you convinced him to stay, but you don't care. The feeling is just too perfect. You take a quick glance at the clock. "11:24". You shut your eyes again quickly, just savoring ever moment as if it was the best in your life, which it almost was. "Kitsune?", he says, his deep voice rumbling the chest behind you.
You just reply with an idle, "Mm?". He rests his head on yours, taking a sigh.
"I was never good with words, so don't blame me if this sounds unoriginal, but... I am sorry for misunderstanding, for taking your happiness with me when I died, but mostly, I am sorry for leaving you lonely and heart-broken in this world.", he says, tightening his grip. You just nuzzle into his chest fur again, then rubbing your head into his shoulder fuzz.
"Mm, this was worth it", you reply. "I would have given up every thing I owned, everything I had, just to spend five more minutes with you.".
"Well, I don't think you need to give up anything for tonight, only a night of restless sleep.", he says, slightly loosening his grip. You pull lightly from his grip and turn to face him. Even in the dark, you could see the eyes. Those pure emeralds floating beside each other in the darkness. Your mind was set, this was Yane, and those eyes sealed it. You reach a hand out, and wrap in slowly to the back of his head. You pull him forward, and your lips meet. It was not a lustful kiss, but a passionate one. Your mouths did not open, nor did your tongues intertwine, but your lips being force together in the loving embrace was more than any other type of kiss could rival. As your lips peel away from each other, you look into his eyes again, and he into your blue ones. Then, you get an idea. It has been something you have been wanting for the past year.
"Yane? Do-do you think I could ask you for something?", you ask, hoping he would indulge you.
"Hm?", he says, and, finally after a few seconds, you muster up the courage to ask it.
"Yane, do you think we could... um, well, have...", you start, but you are interrupted by a furred hand against your lips. You immediately quiet yourself, and, even though it was dark, you could see him smiling. He presses his lips up against yours, but this time he had his mouth open slightly. As your lips met this time, he started to lick your lips. You happily open them up for him, letting him run his tongue over your teeth, and eventually make it to your own tongue. This is when you start to fight back. You lash your tongue out, rapidly hitting his. By this time, both of your lips were firmly locked together, and your bodies were brought even closer by your arms hugging each other tightly. Your crotches rub against each other, getting you both extremely hot. Meanwhile, back in the tunnel of your mouths, the wrestling of your tongues was continuing. Eventually, the both of you needed air, so your lips part reluctantly, connected by a light trail of saliva. You both gasp, but quickly recover. He pounces you, leaving you face-up on the bed, with him right on top of you.
He licks your neck as you feel something hard rubbing between your legs. You already know what it is, but you know your about to get very closely acquainted with it. You feel him get into position, and make the first, hasty thrust. The rest of the session is a flurry of thrust, licks and friction. Everything blurs together until you hear him moan quietly, and you feel his seed being implanted deep into you again. This signals your fourth orgasm, and leaving you excruciatingly exhausted after it ends. He falls down on top of you, panting heavily. You hug him, bringing him the closest two people can be. `His knot will keep him from leaving... For a while`. "Please... don't leave...", you manage before your eyes fall shut, throwing you into a deep, satisfying sleep.
The next morning, he is gone.

Holy fucking mother of god! I finally finished this chapter! I am so sorry it took so long, it's just that... well, actually I can't make any excuses. I was just too busy beating Silent Hill 2 and Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time to type it up, but now it's done: Ha ha... ha ha. Oh, yeah, the contest. Alright, if you did not notice, it is the part of the story in between the "/". If you can give me the name of the series he is from, and his name, then I will let the person who gets it right have a cameo in the next chapter. Just post your answer in the reviews, or send me an e-mail. Whoever gives the answer first will get the prize, so hurry people! Time is running out!

Lol, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w71V2E3VC5s"

*1*
You puff out air heavily as you continue forward. The rain had stopped about an hour ago, leaving the air full of the heavy smell of mildew. "Kuso...", came a voice from behind. It was Kitsune, panting deeply. "Please... we need to rest. We've been running for... hours. You might not be tired... but we're exhausted.", she says, leaning against a tree. You just nod. `I can't believe that I got this far, and I really can't believe they followed`.
Dylan and Tsune release a sigh of relief simultaneously as they flop down in front of two trees respectively. You sit down in front of another, leaning against it. The tree was cool, almost making you want to sink into it. You were drenched in sweat, as well as the other two. ``You really shouldn't stop yet...``. *sigh* That voice has been following you. You thought you left it behind with the problem of being imprisoned, but that was not the case. It's been making crude remarks, and just overall not shutting up.
The other two are breathing slowly, finally catching their breath. Your chest stops heaving, relaxing your muscles. You start to count. `One, two, three, four, five...`. You continue this up until one-hundred, and then stand up. "Okay, ready?", you asks.
"Yeah, but...", says Dylan, slowly getting up.
"What?".
"Uh, where are we going?", he asks, finally up. `That's a good question...`. You really don't know where you are going, you were just, kinda, going.
"I'm... not exactly... certain", you say, rubbing your arm. The three of you stand there, trying to think of something. Tsune keeps looking over at you, sort of half way, then back at the patch of grass in front of her. "What is it, you got something?", you ask, locking your fingers behind your back. She tenses up when she hears you, every inch of her body going stiff as a board. Her eyes shoot to yours, her mouth starting to quiver, and she to mouth something. Air comes out, but no words. "Uh, Tsune?", you ask, walking over next to her. The rain from the previous night had washed away the stuff in her fur, but she still looked terrible. Even through her facial fur, her cheek bones stood out, as well as her shoulders. She just, well, looked ghastly. (No pun intended)
"Y-Yeah, I've got a p-place...", she says, lowering her head. `Where ever it is, it sure looks like she doesn't want to go there`.
``Great deduction, Mr. Obvious...``.
`*Growls* Shut up. Not now`.
"Where?". Luckily, Dylan asked before you had to. She looks over at him and smiles.
"Well...", she starts. The smile fades as her lip starts to quiver again, and she finally says it. "My parent's house".
---
The three of you have started again about an hour ago. You find no more reason to run; it looks as though they have given up chasing you down. Your little troop is walking in a line, not by choice, but it just kinda, happened. Kitsune is in the front, head down, dragging her feet, and apparently trying to delay herself. You are in the middle and Dylan is in the back. You quicken up your pace so you are right on her heels. Avoiding her tail, you slink up to her left, and grab her hand. She looks up at you, her eyes glazed over, staring blankly back at you. She just smiles, and puts her head back down. You look strait forward, and see a trail strait across your line of vision. You feel her embrace your hand in a grip, which was uncomfortably tight. With her squeezing your hand, she takes a right on the path, and continues on.
You look back, making sure the boy was keeping up. He was doing just fine, looking around at the scenery. The three of you could have looked like some kind of family, the mother and father, holding hands, and the child behind, looking at the scenery. But, as you know, that's far from the case. `It was amazing that the kid was this trouble-free, especially after what had just been happening to him`. You are pulled out of your thoughts by a rough tug from your hand. Your eyes quickly shoot back to Tsune, who was just staring blankly at the area ahead. Her eyes were so wide, you thought they were going to roll back in her head. You look forward, seeing what she was looking at. It was a rock, maybe up to your knee, for which there was words carved into, and the road forks off to the left and right around it, off in their respective directions.
Tsune quickly lets go of your hand, and runs over to the rock. She almost skids to her knees, and puts her hands on the front of the rock, taking care to not touching any of the words. You slowly walk up behind her. Her eyes are closed, and her mouth is moving silently. You look up, and read the rock. All there was was one sentence, "Rest in Peace, my love." You just look blankly at it, and then read it again. And, just as before, it just read, "Rest in Peace, my love." No one says anything, the moment becoming completely silent. Dylan has walked up next to you, looking at the writing.
After a few minutes, Tsune stands up, and nods at the two of you. "Sorry, lets go...", she says, walking off onto the left path. You and Dylan look at each other, then hurry after her.
---
Some more minutes of walking, your trio finally finds its destination. It was a beautiful house, (you know, strait from a generic 60` sitcom?) with the white fence, white paint job on a red roofed, one story house, the same path you are on leads right up to the door. There is someone on the left hand side of the house, crouched over doing something. You look over at Tsune. Her eyes are calm now, but then grow wide again. "Oh shit...", she mutters. If you didn't have canine ears, you wouldn't have been able to hear her. You look over, and just as you are about to ask "what?", you hear a high-pitched scream. You look back over at the person on the side of the house. A look of pure terror was pasted on the face of a woman. She was looking strait at you, eyes bulging.
"Y-Your d-d-dead! W-Why... no, HOW c-can you be here?!", she screams backing up, eyes piercing strait into yours. `Huh?!`. You look over at Tsune, who sighs, and walks over to the woman. "Tsune! How?! I thought he was dead!", she says as Tsune puts her arms around her. She whispers something in her ear, and she gets a look of mild shock on her face, and looks strait at you, pushing Tsune away lightly. She walks up to you, stomping with each step, eventually reaching you and looks up into your eyes angrily. "Fine, if your not him...", she says, going around your back. You stay still, hair standing up on your neck. You can feel her making her way around you. Finally, you feel two fingers jab right below your left shoulder blade. You slightly flinch, but keep perfectly still. She comes back around, looking into your eyes again. "Okay, fine, you not him.", she says, walking back over to Tsune. "Ok then, who is that?", she asks Tsune.
.
"Well, his name is Kuso, and his...", pointing to the boy, "is Dylan".
"Ok, good, but... what happened to you?!", she says, finally seeing Tsune's condition.
"Well, I was hoping we could rest here for a while...".
"Of course! Why wouldn't we?!", she says, wrapping her arms around Tsune, then two of them make their way to the door. You and Dylan look at each other again, and then hurry in after them. Almost the second that you entered, you hear a small squeal. You look over and see a Zangoose standing in a hallway on the other end of the room. His face looked like almost an exact replica of the woman's face when she saw you. *Sigh, shakes head* The woman walks over to the Zangoose, kneels, and says something.
All you could hear was his reply, which was, "Are you sure?". She nods her head, and stands back up.
"Come, sit.", she says, gesturing to the couch. You and Dylan both sit on the couch, which Tsune had already sit on. The Zangoose hops up onto the part of the couch next to Tsune, on the far right side. The two of them started to talk, well; it was more of a shower of "what have you been doing?" 's from the Zangoose. She just drooped her head sadly and kept saying "sorry". For what, you have no idea.
After a few minutes, the woman comes back with a tray with many different types of food, ranging from berries, to bread and meat. She sets the tray down on the table in front of the couch, and says, "Go ahead, you guys look starved". You immediately reach down and grab a piece of meat. It was a good chunk of pork, and was all in your maw in a second.
You look over to the right, and all three of them were looking at you with a look of astonishment on their faces. "Whrt?", you ask, trying to chew it. Finally swallowing, the woman brings out some water. She sets three glasses with ice on the table, and a silver pitcher with water. She pours water into each, and sets them in front of each of you. Almost as if synchronized, the three of you reach out, and drink the entire glass. Sighing, the glasses hit the table with just a single loud clack. You reach out again, this time grabbing a chunk of bread. You look to your right, then hand it to Dylan. He takes it, and starts to rip at it with his teeth. You hand another piece of bread over the now hunched Dylan, to Tsune, who gladly accepted it.
---
"Ahh", the three of you sigh, leaning back. The plate brought in was long emptied, as well as two others, the fourth being slightly picked from. "Thanks for the food and water", you say, nodding slightly at the woman.
"It is no problem, really. I can see that you were starved, so, I did what any caring citizen would do.", she says smiling. She then gets up and grabs the plate. "By the way, my name is Nagomi, and him, the Zangoose, is Akigashi, my mate.", she says, smiling. `Interesting... she refers to being his mate as anyone would refer to any courtship. Its just such a... primitive way of saying it... and for a human to say it that way... is just... unusual`. "And, as you may have already guessed, we are Kitsune's parents.", she finishes.
"Hey, um, do you think that we could get washed up? Ya know, because... well, as I'm sure, you can tell why.", you say, leaning your head back.
"Sure, the bathrooms down that hall...", she says, pointing down the hallway, "... and is the first door down".
"Does anyone else want to wash up first?", you ask, looking at the other two.
"Mm-mmm," Tsune says, shaking her head. "I want to discuss something with my parents". You look down, finding Dylan shaking his head as well. Sighing, you stand, and go down the hallway. You grab the door knob, but turn your head back to the living room.
"Hey, uh, thanks again for being so nice to us...", you say, smiling.
"Really, it's no problem", said the Zangoose, Akigashi. You just nod, and open the door. `Oh my god... their bathroom is just... just so... generic`. You shut the door behind you and walk into the white tiled room. You throw the shorts off into the far corner, and walk over to the shower. You pull the sheet back, and put your hands towards the knobs, and turn the one with an "H" to the right. Water starts to emerge from the showerhead, hitting the bottom of the bathtub, steam coming up from the bottom. You step into the shower, and the sizzling water hits your fur, almost burning the dirt off. You reach for some shampoo, and after lathering it in your paws, you rub it into your fur. The shower is just doing wonders on your aching muscles, soothing them, ceasing the cramps. As soon as every inch of your body is covered in soap, you step back into the shower's torrent, washing off the foam, and then proceed to do it again.
Once every part of your body is rid of dirt and smells, you turn off the water, and step out of the shower. You quickly grab the towel that's on the counter before a puddle forms under you. You wipe off, drying every inch of your body from head to toe. Once your as dry as you can get, you set the towel back down on the counter. Then, you hear a noise from behind you... a giggle.
You quickly spin around and, just as you suspected, there was that mew again, sitting on the toilet. *Sigh* "What are you doing here?", you ask, reaching for the towel again.
She giggles again, and replies, "Oh, I just came to admire the view.". She winks at you as you try fruitlessly to tie the towel around your waist.
"I meant other than that", you say, giving up and throwing the towel back on the counter.
"Well, my superiors have another, uh, "job" for you...", she says, kind of dazing out.
"Which is...?", you say, getting a little intolerant for this now.
"... Oh, sorry. We need you to find the leader of Team Omega...", she says, crossing her legs.
"And do what?", you ask.
"We need you to... "convince" him to disband Team Omega.", she says.
"And how would I do that?", you say, already having an idea.
"Well, if you can't convince him peacefully, then you may have to use a more, vulgar method. Also, if that comes up, something you may find interesting can be done. See, they live by the "keep what you kill" rule. So, if you kill a grunt, you can be a grunt. An admin? You can be one of those too. Or, if you kill the leader..."
"...I can become the leader, and disband the group myself.", you reply, leaning against the counter.
"Yes, but there is a reason he is still the only one to have ever lead Omega. The reason for that is because... he is like you."
"Like me?"
"Yes, he is an Anthro, just as you, and has an ability special to him too, just like yours is Agility. But even with all of our resources, we don't know everything. We don't know what it is, but we just know he has it."
"I really don't have a choice whether to do it or not, do I?", you ask.
"No, not really.", she says grinning.
"Ok then, can I ask a favor then?", you say, standing up strait.
"That depends, what is it?", she replies.
"I want to contact someone... my mate.", you say, smiling. "She's a psychic-type, so you should be able to find her, right?".
"Of course! I could contact someone on the other side of the world if I needed to! How dare you belittle me!", she says, faking taking offence. "I just need her species, name, and the general area of where she is.", she says, closing her eyes.
"Espeon, Ele, and in Petalburg Woods", you say, having this memorized by heart. "Oh yeah, one other thing... Could we have a little privacy?", you ask, clasping your hands together.
"Sure, you at least deserve that much...", she says, eyes staying shut. She reaches out a hand, and says, "Touch it." You oblige, and the same feeling of lightheadedness came over you, and just as before, you ended up in the white room. But the only difference this time is you are alone. "Just a few seconds...", you hear, echoing in the voice of the mew through the room. `Clearing my head, and thinking of what to say is the best thing to do here`. Just then, a fuzzy, light-purple frame of an Espeon came into view, showing that she was able to find her.
"Kuso?", she says, cocking her head. `And here it comes...`. "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?!?!", she screams, advancing to not-but two feet away from you. "I wake up in a bed, and nearly got my ass smacked by a broom from that boy for being in your room when you weren't there!!".
"It wasn't my fault!!", you say back, feeling slightly mad at her reaction, all though you knew it was coming. *Sigh* "I got abducted while I went to the bathroom.", you explain as calmly as you could muster.
"You'd better be telling the truth! If you just left to get away from me..."
"...Then why would I contact you?!", you interrupt. She opens her mouth for a come-back, but none comes out. She just shuts her mouth and looks down at a spot a few inches from her feet. A blush appears on her face a few seconds later, showing what you said to have sunk in. After a few seconds, you feel it safe to continue. "Also, that is not the only reason I contacted you... the other reason is to tell you, I have to go somewhere else, and won't be back for while."
"Where do you have to go?", she asks, keeping her head down.
"Uh, well, I don't know yet, but it will probably take about another week, maybe two.", you say, making an estimate.
"That's ok, I can wait a little longer. I've waited for a year for you to return to me, I think I can wait a little longer.", she says, raising her head and smiling. You lean forward, and grab the back of her head, scritching the back of her ear. Then you pull her in and kiss her lightly on the jewel in her forehead. She smiles when you let her head go back to its original position.
You stand up, and look down at her. "We're done, right?", you ask. She nods, and you nod back. You crane your head up and scream, "WE'RE DONE!!", hoping the mew would hear, apparently she did, as you start to feel lightheaded again. You look down at her, and say one last thing to her, "I love you." She smiles and mouths something, but no sound came out. Instead, you find yourself back in the bathroom, looking at the mew, whose eyes were still closed. But the eyes open in a few seconds, and she looks at you.
"Is that everything?", she asks, sounding exhausted. You nod, and she returns it. A pink bubble appears around her. She waves at you as the bubble shrinks until she is gone. *Sigh* Suddenly, there is a knock at the door.
"What?", you say, rather rudely.
"I was getting some clothes for everyone, and I set yours on the bed in the next room over, ok?", you hear Nagomi say.
"Yeah, thanks!", you say, and the footsteps go off and eventually disappear from within hearing range. You grab the towel again, and wrap it around yourself. You don't even try to tie it this time, you just hold it. You open the door, and bolt from the door to the one next door. It's not like you're embarrassed, it's just a reflex. You shut the door quickly, and walk over to the bed. The room is just as generic as the bathroom, with a dresser, a window above the purple covered bed. On the bed there are a set of blue jeans, and a black shirt. You pick up the pants and find that they already have a hole in the back, so you proceed to dress.
---
*2*
Once everything is on, you walk back out into the living room. The shower has been going for a while, and as you walk out, you find that it's Dylan. Tsune is sitting in the exact same place as last time, only now with a clean shirt and pants. She is discussing something with her parents, but when you walk in, she stops and looks at you, her parents soon mimicking her. Feeling very awkward, you slowly walk over and sit on the opposite end of the couch, their eyes following you the entire way. Finally, they all burst into laughter, lifting a load off of you.
"Hahahaha... oh my god, you looked so scared...", said Tsune, quickly returning to her laughing fit. You just smile. `I'm so glad that's all it was...`.
"That's not very funny", you say, crossing your arms in mock-insult, which just made them laugh harder. `Its amazing how someone's mood can change from a simple change of scenery. I mean, Tsune was just going all emo, but now she's acting as though she doesn't have a care in the world`. You finally smile and laugh with them.
Finally, after the laughter had died down, you ask another thing, "Is it alright if I go out and have a breath of fresh air?".
"Sure, just head out the door you came in through.", says Nagomi. You get up, and just as you do, the Zangoose hops off of the couch.
"Mind if I join you?", he asks, smiling. You just shrug, and walk out the door. Only then do you notice it is already getting late, and the sun has already set, leaving a reddish-purple color strewn across the sky. The only other light than the faint glow of the sky was soon cut off as the door was shut behind you, and Akigashi walks out. "Nice night", he says, making his way over to the right.
"Yeah, just beautiful...", you say, entranced by the dusks atmosphere. You snap out of it when you hear a click and the crackle of fire. You look over to the noise and see the Zangoose lighting a cigarette, brining it to his lips.
"Sorry... it's a habit I'm trying to break, but I just needed one... because of the circumstances...", he says, the cigarette bobbing as he talks. A few seconds pass, small dissipating clouds of smoke slowly glide idly through the air, before disappearing entirely. "You found my daughter in Petalburg, correct?", he asks suddenly, breaking the silence. You nod, prying your eyes away from the sky once again. "Did she ever explain why she was there?", he asks, inhaling deeply, making the red on the end of the stick turn bright.
"No", you reply bluntly, becoming curious.
"Well, it's an old Zangoose tradition. When your love dies, and if you truly love them, they go out, away from their pack, away from everything and one that would help them.", he pauses, taking a long drag on the cigarette.
"It is a type of extreme mourning, and only very close couples do it. When one of the two dies, the other stays secluded, and away from others. If they can survive for a year on their own, they have proven their eternal devotion to that other person, their mate. It is only done by some Zangoose clans, but I made the mistake of telling Tsune that story as a child. She did it for her so-called "mate", Yane. She left almost exactly 13 months ago, so we were expecting her back soon, but not like this.", he finishes, taking another puff of smoke.
"So is that who you thought I was, Yane?", you ask.
"Yes. You see, there was something about himself that made him feel as though he was better than any other intelligent being, making him feel as though he could belittle them. The only person he was ever nice to, at least as far as I could tell, was Kitsune. She was madly in love with him, as he was with her. The reason that we were afraid you were him was... well, other than you look so much like him, but the other reason is how he treated me and Nagomi. Once, he even went so far as to slice me when I forbade Tsune to go with him.", he says, holding up his arm, revealing a fully healed scar. "But what was odd to me was the fact that you do look so much like him. I mean, he is dead, but you could easily be his twin, if not, just be in his body.", he finishes. By now, his cigarette was at the filter, so he just threw it on the ground and stomped it. "You don't have any siblings, do you?", he asks.
"I do, but none of them named Yane.", you reply. `Could it be...?`.
"Alright, that's good to know. Well, I'm done out here, see you inside.", he says, swinging the door open, then closed behind him. You sigh, looking back up at the sky. `Could it really be true, am I actually in Yane's old body?`. The sky had lost the beautiful shade strewn about it and was now black with the stunning sparkling stars. You turn and head back in.
Dylan and Tsune were now sitting on the couch, and by the water still in Tsune's fur, you'd say she just got out of the shower, also for the fact she was now in different clothing. /Dylan, on the other hand, looked very unkempt. His hair was sticking strait back, his long sleeved white shirt was all wrinkled, as well at the long blue jeans he had on. He had the flat of his thumb in his mouth, and his knees were up to his cheeks, feet on the very edge of the cushion. His two big toes were twirling around each other, almost could be called "twiddling", which you do with your thumbs. He had a much glazed look in his eye, and he seemed very nervous. As soon as you sit down, he jumps, going back to a human's regular sitting position, legs hanging loosely of the end of the couch.
The five of you sat there and talked, though you mostly just listened. According to the clock, when you came in, it was about eight, and when everyone was done talking, it was almost ten. Everyone started to yawn, signaling that sleep was starting to become inevitable. After being shown to your room, you decide to go to the bathroom. You are sharing the guest room with Dylan, and apparently Tsune was staying in her old room.
As you sit on the toilet, you start to hear the voice in your head again.
``Um, hi Kuso...``.
`Uh, hi... You've been awful quiet.`.
``Yes, that's because I wanted to try to let you, ya know, not get to hate me...``.
`Oh? And whys that?`.
``Well, mostly because we're gonna be spending a lot of time together, ya know, with sharing the body and all, but...``.
`"But?"`.
``The other reason is because... because I want to ask you for a favor...``.
---
(Switching...)
You lay in the dark, your chest slowly rising and falling in rhythm. You are staring at the pitch-black ceiling as though there was none there. `Why can't I get to sleep?`. You cover your eyes and roll over, but that does not help. You hear shuffling that crosses your door through the hall, the noise of the bathroom door opening, then closing. You look over onto your bed stand at the LCD clock, reading in red numbers "10:19". You roll onto your back again, your hand falling to your chest. You shut your eyes tightly, and even go so far as to cover your face with a pillow, but nothing seems to work. You just lay there in silence, trying to calm down.
In the last 24 hours you have: escaped being imprisoned, ran for miles, and came back to your parents, who you thought had disowned you. Yep, it was a pretty full day. You roll over and look at the clock again. "10:52". `I could try to read a magazine... no, there's nothing good here, at least not in this room. I could go out to the living room and watch television... no, either the light or the noise would wake someone, and then I would have to turn it off anyway, so that would just waste a trip. But of course, there is always...`. You reach down between your legs, but hesitate slightly `No, I ain't doing that. With the extra noses in the house, I might... heh, I might get one of them sex hungry. So, not that...`.
You hear the bathroom door open and close again. You jump slightly, being jostled out of your thoughts, sitting strait up in your bed. `I totally forgot someone was in there`. You glance over at the clock, inspecting the red numbers again. "11:03". The footsteps seemed different now, almost slower, and more solemn. They pass the next room, the room to your left, but they silence when they reach your door. You pull the sheet up protectively up to your chin. `Could... could Team Omega... have followed us?`. You hear the doorknob jiggle slightly, and then turn. You slam your head back down on the pillow, shutting your eyes, pretending to be asleep. You hear the door opening, then being shut quietly. You can hear soft footfall, making its way over next your bed. All of the sudden your feel a hand brush lightly against your cheek. You fight back the urge to just sit up and slap whoever it was across the face. The perpetrator's hand retracts after a second, then a deep voice replaces it. "Well, it looks as though I have just wasted a trip", the perpetrator said in an obviously male voice. `That voice... its so familiar... but... that's impossible...`.
You hear the footsteps start to retreat back to the door. `Damn... if that is him, then why don't I just ask? Well, for the obvious reason that if it isn't him, it might be someone from Omega. But, if it is...`. "Yane?", you ask, taking a shot in the dark. You hear the footsteps stop, and slowly turn around.
"Oh, so you are awake.", he says, the footsteps approaching you again. You shut your eyes again, hoping for the best. You feel him sit on the bed, making it sag a little.
"Is it really you, Yane?", you ask again, sitting up.
"Yes its me.", he replies, putting a hand to your cheek again.
"But how?", you ask, nuzzling subconsciously into his hand.
"That, I cannot explain. But, I have come back to tell you something...".
"Wh-what is it?", you ask, stammering.
"I, uh, left something for you up in the attic. You probably forgot about it because of my... current predicament. But, it is still there... I just wanted to make sure you remembered.", he said, getting up from the bed rather quickly.
"Wait!", you say softly. The footsteps stop again. "Is that it? Is that all you wanted to say?"
"Well, no. there are more things I was hoping to say, I just... am not sure how to say them...", he says, the footsteps traversing to the side of the bed again.
"Just say them, please, just stay a little longer.", you say, reaching out for his arm. You quickly find it, and pull it hard 'til you hear a grunt and the bed sags again. "I just want to be with you again, to have you hold me in your arms, to embrace me, to love me."
"Alright, I'm guessing that you're not giving me much choice in the matter...", he says, his arms wrapping around your shoulders and hugging you close to him. Your fur intermingles with his, white with black, even in the perfect darkness, you know the feeling. The way he has you, the perfect amount of force and affection that only Yane, your mate, could ever have perfected. The two of you just sit there in silence once again, contradicting the very reason you convinced him to stay, but you don't care. The feeling is just too perfect. You take a quick glance at the clock. "11:24". You shut your eyes again quickly, just savoring ever moment as if it was the best in your life, which it almost was. "Kitsune?", he says, his deep voice rumbling the chest behind you.
You just reply with an idle, "Mm?". He rests his head on yours, taking a sigh.
"I was never good with words, so don't blame me if this sounds unoriginal, but... I am sorry for misunderstanding, for taking your happiness with me when I died, but mostly, I am sorry for leaving you lonely and heart-broken in this world.", he says, tightening his grip. You just nuzzle into his chest fur again, then rubbing your head into his shoulder fuzz.
"Mm, this was worth it", you reply. "I would have given up every thing I owned, everything I had, just to spend five more minutes with you.".
"Well, I don't think you need to give up anything for tonight, only a night of restless sleep.", he says, slightly loosening his grip. You pull lightly from his grip and turn to face him. Even in the dark, you could see the eyes. Those pure emeralds floating beside each other in the darkness. Your mind was set, this was Yane, and those eyes sealed it. You reach a hand out, and wrap in slowly to the back of his head. You pull him forward, and your lips meet. It was not a lustful kiss, but a passionate one. Your mouths did not open, nor did your tongues intertwine, but your lips being force together in the loving embrace was more than any other type of kiss could rival. As your lips peel away from each other, you look into his eyes again, and he into your blue ones. Then, you get an idea. It has been something you have been wanting for the past year.
"Yane? Do-do you think I could ask you for something?", you ask, hoping he would indulge you.
"Hm?", he says, and, finally after a few seconds, you muster up the courage to ask it.
"Yane, do you think we could... um, well, have...", you start, but you are interrupted by a furred hand against your lips. You immediately quiet yourself, and, even though it was dark, you could see him smiling. He presses his lips up against yours, but this time he had his mouth open slightly. As your lips met this time, he started to lick your lips. You happily open them up for him, letting him run his tongue over your teeth, and eventually make it to your own tongue. This is when you start to fight back. You lash your tongue out, rapidly hitting his. By this time, both of your lips were firmly locked together, and your bodies were brought even closer by your arms hugging each other tightly. Your crotches rub against each other, getting you both extremely hot. Meanwhile, back in the tunnel of your mouths, the wrestling of your tongues was continuing. Eventually, the both of you needed air, so your lips part reluctantly, connected by a light trail of saliva. You both gasp, but quickly recover. He pounces you, leaving you face-up on the bed, with him right on top of you.
He licks your neck as you feel something hard rubbing between your legs. You already know what it is, but you know your about to get very closely acquainted with it. You feel him get into position, and make the first, hasty thrust. The rest of the session is a flurry of thrust, licks and friction. Everything blurs together until you hear him moan quietly, and you feel his seed being implanted deep into you again. This signals your fourth orgasm, and leaving you excruciatingly exhausted after it ends. He falls down on top of you, panting heavily. You hug him, bringing him the closest two people can be. `His knot will keep him from leaving... For a while`. "Please... don't leave...", you manage before your eyes fall shut, throwing you into a deep, satisfying sleep.
The next morning, he is gone.

Holy fucking mother of god! I finally finished this chapter! I am so sorry it took so long, it's just that... well, actually I can't make any excuses. I was just too busy beating Silent Hill 2 and Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time to type it up, but now it's done: Ha ha... ha ha. Oh, yeah, the contest. Alright, if you did not notice, it is the part of the story in between the "/". If you can give me the name of the series he is from, and his name, then I will let the person who gets it right have a cameo in the next chapter. Just post your answer in the reviews, or send me an e-mail. Whoever gives the answer first will get the prize, so hurry people! Time is running out!
