Episode 051
"Unprepared"
By Darfix
While Darfix is forced to decide where to begin on finding Niktsu and Skylia,
Kyotsu and Edge are still on a course down stream with no one but each other to lean on,
or in this case, cling onto for dear life.
As described, both Kyotsu and Edge discover themselves intertwined with one another as they find it much easier to keep their bobbing heads above water under those conditions. They are still trapped in the white-water portion of the stream and there is no sign that things will ease up anytime soon.
"Whâ�"why did you come back for me?" Kyotsu asks at a mere whisper, nothing else being necessary considering his proximity to the Zigzagoon.
"I don't think worrying about that should be the first concern on your list..." Edge replies, "I'm more concerned with sur..."
Her voice is drowned out as the two are forced under water for a moment, only being thrown back up to the surface a few seconds later, coughing and once again temporarily blinded by the water in their eyes.
"Just thinkâ�"if you didn't infatuate me, we wouldn't be in this mess..." he coughs out to her while trying to catch his breath.
"I don't think placing blame is going to solve our problem," she retorts, letting go of her own coughs, "Besides...I was just doing my job."
Kyotsu sighs heavily at that, what could he say really? It wouldn't be good enough if she felt she had to work for whoever her boss was. Besides, she was right about one thing, focusing on survival was more paramount than arguing the case at paw.
Before any plans can be made the two are forced under once more, this time for an extended period of time, before being tossed back up to the surface for only a tiny bit, enough for Kyotsu to get a breath, but not the Zigzagoon.
As the two are forced back under for a third time, Kyotsu can feel her struggling in his grasp. He forces his eyes open to see her working hard to get to the surface to no avail. It is apparent she did not catch a breath on that last surfacing. Though he feels he owes her nothing, she did come back for him.
He takes a bit of a breath and presses his lips to her own, pushing some of the air from his lungs into her own. This comes as an immediate shock to the Zigzagoon, who only battles him and the water for a short time after, before calming down and accepting the "kiss of life".
The exchange is proven to be barely necessary as the two once again rise to the surface as the current dies down enough not to keep them under.
Kyotsu is quick to tear his gaze from her, feeling as if he had just kissed his worst enemy right on the mouth, "Are...you alright?" he asks in a low voice.
Once again, Edge is interrupted. Before she can get a word off, they crash into a slender rock, forcing the two to lose grip on one another and separate once again. The collision leaves Kyotsu with an impressive gash on his fore head, knocking him out cold. It also sprains Edge's right hind leg as the two of them are torn apart, worse for wear, continuing down stream on a seemingly endless journey of pain.
Back up stream quite a ways, Darfix is seen lifting his nose and trying to get the scent of Niktsu or Skylia. Being a fox and less a dog, his nose was good, but not as good as it could be. On top of things, he is upwind of them, thus not getting their scents while his own scent travels to them without fail.
"Blast," he mumbles, his ears wilting as he thinks of Destiny being held somewhere against her will. What would become of her? Were they treating her alright? He had to focus less on these things and find his target, suck up his guilt and do what he had to to save his mate. Even if it meant breaking a heart, he could not let his litter grow up surrounded by a bunch of criminal Pokémon.
"I wish I had never taken that damn stone," he speaks to himself under his breath, "Maybeâ�"Destiny and I would not be together, butâ�"she'd be free, and I wouldn't be forced to break two hearts to save her..."
Almost as if the Gods themselves were watching Darfix' dismay from up above, he feels his fur start to ruffle in the opposite direction, picking up a bit as the wind suddenly changes course, blowing and strewing leaves in every which way.
The Eevee lifts his head to look up at the sky. It is still very much dawn, the sun has not fully risen and the pinks, reds, and oranges of early morning left the landscape in a beautiful way that only those who were early birds had the chance to appreciate for the most part. Not even thinking about the change in wind direction at this point, he begins to catch the scent of something familiar in the direction the wind was blowing from. His nose wriggles and he closes his eyes to concentrate his senses on his nose.
"...Niktsu," he whispers to himself, still in this state of scent gathering. He then detects the familiar, canine aroma of Skylia, the young Poochyena. It becomes clear to him that the two had obviously left him to go off on their own for whatever reason. Though curious and feeling slightly betrayed by this, a smile does form on his maw for now he knows he can finally retrieve Destiny back from the blasted Noctowl and repay his debt once and for all.
It doesn't take much more thought for him to open his eyes once more and start in the direction the wind is coming from, a new string of confidence added to his mien for the time being.
Before long, the scent is beginning to become even more detectable and the Flareon's noticeable fur color comes into view behind a few leafy bushes. The Eevee's glee perks up as he draws closer, assuming Skylia to be nearby. As he pokes his head through the bush, however, he notices that Niktsu is asleep, and next to him is Skylia, also sleeping. From a distance and covered by flora, he appeared not to be on his side in rest, cuddling the Poochyena girl in the process. But not that he stood mere feet from them, things soon began to fall into place.
His nose is bothered temporarily by the intoxicating aroma of the now drying orgasmic fluids from both participants in last nights ground breaking session of intercourse. Of course, such a smell only held alarming qualities for so long before it became arousing. He tries to grab together his sanity and survey the situation a little before passing judgment.
Taking a few trips around the two, he discovers several spots of matted fur around both Niktsu's and Skylia's loins. Even Skylia's tail was caked in the drying fluids. What had happened here was pretty obvious, but he could not help wondering why? Niktsu did not seem the cheating type, nor did Skylia seem easy. Perhaps she was extremely desperate like she was with Darfix last night, but that still didn't solve the issue as to why Niktsu would cheat on Tiasha, and for an adolescent at that.
Something didn't smell right to the Eevee and it consumed his curiosity so greatly that he didn't even realize at first that Niktsu did his job for him. Before much more detective work can be completed, Niktsu's ears begin to flick as they pick up the sounds of Darfix' movement.
Darfix' alertness had been lowered significantly, giving the chemical effects the current fragrance was having on his psyche. He does not notice Niktsu's aural movement.
Now that Darfix had taken a moment to stop, this gave Niktsu the chance to attack whoever was bothering his and Skylia's peace. He rises rapidly and without taking the time to discover who this potential foe may be, leaps upon him and pushes him to the ground.
Niktsu's larger paws slam into the Eevee's chest, forcing Darfix' back to slam against the ground, jogging his mind free from the grasp of arousal. Niktsu presses his nose right into Darfix' and growls defensively, only now noticing that the alarmed Eevee was his friend.
"Darfix?! What theâ�"hell?" he speaks in a surprised state, slowly letting off of the Eevee to let him get back up.
Darfix, however, had had the wind knocked out of him, among other things. He rolls onto his side with one paw to his chest as he breaths slowly in attempt to recuperate from the attack. "Iâ�"had I know you would have reacted soâ�"I would have kept my distance..." he whispers.
"Sorry, sorry! Iâ�"sort of worried it may have been Skylia's designated mateâ�"from her pack. I justâ�"reacted."
"Clearly..." Darfix retorts with only mild vexation, "...sorry, the smell of the fun you two had last night drew me in...besides, falling asleep next to two and waking up alone tends to leave one quite a bit confused, you know?"
Niktsu slouches a little, blushing some, "Well, we..."
"Speaking of which," Darfix adds, sitting up now and dusting off his shoulder some, "Justâ�"what brought this on? I think Tiasha is going to be pissed..."
Niktsu growls a bit and bares his teeth at the mention of Tiasha, "I couldn't care less, in fact, it would have been better had that bitch come along instead of you..."
Darfix is thrown another curve ball with Niktsu's previous response. He nods slowly and takes a breath, turning his gaze over to the sleeping Poochyena, "...I see."
"Hey, hey..." Niktsu cuts in, noticing where Darfix' eyes are heading, "I know what you're thinking, butâ�"she needed someone to take care of her problem, andâ�"she helped take care of mine. Iâ�"also kept you from being unfaithful to Destiny. Iâ�"assume you're a little upset that I deflowered her...well, I don't want you to feel cheated out of her, I doâ�"love her, butâ�"if you two had something going I will..."
"Woah, woah!" Darfix responds quickly, interrupting Niktsu before he can say more, "Iâ�"love Destiny, and I would be lying if I said I was not attracted to Skylia's beauty...but, Iâ�"the only reason I came close was because..." he pauses some as he wonders. Was he suppose to mention Yukon and his gang? He could not recall. They certainly seemed to have eyes everywhere, perhaps it was not best to tell the truth?
"...hmm?" Niktsu cuts in while Darfix trails off and wanders into thought, "What was the reason?" he asks, pressing one of his paws into the Eevee's chest in attempt to revive him.
Darfix bites his tongue a bit and shakes his head, "...well, sheâ�"like you said, she needed...someone to solve her problem. Sheâ�"was really fond of me, butâ�"I could never satisfy her after she had a taste ofâ�"you..." he whispers, looking away.
Secretly, that sounded like Darfix was admitting to his lack of size between his hind legs. Niktsu has to smile some and shake his head a bit, "Come onâ�"when you evolve it'll grow, I pr--"
The Eevee jolts and snaps his head to Niktsu quickly, "Hey! I've been an Umbreon beforeâ�"and I'm not a kit or anything, I KNOW it's..."small" because I am an Eevee...I just..."
Niktsu grins a bit, nodding his head. Seeing the Eevee embarrassed like that was certainly cute, though the topic obviously upset him, so he was okay with letting it die.
"For what it's worth, I think she would have enjoyed you more than me for her first time..." the Flareon adds.
Darfix closes his eyes and rapidly shakes his head, "Please, Iâ�"cannot talk about it any further, my mind is already going haywire thinking about the scent. But I do have one problem on top of that..."
"What's that?" Niktsu asks softly, tilting his head out of curiosity.
It is at this point that realizing, to prove to Yukon that he had done the job would be difficult without having Skylia's scent all over him. But what was he going to do? Ask Niktsu if he could spoon his girl? It is then, that it hits him. If Niktsu and Skylia were serious, she could possibly join the pack. This would prevent her from ever mating with that son of the male Mightyena that Yukon despised, thus keeping him out of power within the tribe.
Darfix grins a bit as he thinks about it for just a moment more. The plan would surely work, Niktsu would be none the wiser and everyone would still be faithful in the end. Of course, patching things up with Tiasha would be far from easy, but the way he figured it, there is no pleasing that Mightyena in the first place.
"Darfix?" Niktsu speaks, once again nudging the Eevee with his paw, "What problem do you have yet?" he asks.
Sporting a confident grin, Darfix lifts his head to gaze up into the eyes of his larger friend, "...well, its pretty simple, actually. Now that you're a daddy to be as I am, we should probably focus less on wandering and find ourselves a place to settle down at for awhile. I'm sure your mate would be most appreciative..."
"You're right..." Niktsu whispers pathetically after that thought crosses his mind. He transiently gazes in the sleeping canine's direction as he realizes he was not thinking about the future very well. On top of that he also remembers that Tiasha is upset with him. Surely bringing this younger variant of her kind into the pack would not make her any happier. Now Niktsu was left with quite the burden and responsibility that he had not prepared for.
Darfix quirks a brow as he witnesses Niktsu doze off into a period of thought that left him oblivious to his surroundings. Right now his thought was on telling Yukon the good news and getting Destiny back. He smiles happily at the thought of reunification as Skylia's tail begins to twitch a little, indicating she is slowly coming to.
As the female raises from slumber and proceeds with the post-wake up stretches, Darfix' mind continues to wander in his state of happiness, "Let's just hope she doesn't have a sister." he thinks to himself while carrying a contented smile on his muzzle.
