Foxy Foxy (Closed for musicankane)

[AngelofDeath]

Snow crunched under dainty silver white paws as the kitsune slowly trudged through the snow. She would have been moving faster, but as the red dots that followed her paw prints clearly showed she was badly injured. Minoko didn't know how far behind the hunter were, the sudden kick up of wind had forced them from their snowmobiles, but it was dying down and soon enough they would be on her tail again. She had been shot twice, once in the side and the other in her left for leg. Whimpering she kept waling even as her vision began to get blurry.

Life had been so perfect a few weeks ago, but now? Now it had gone to hell in a rocket launcher. Betrayed by a fellow clan member because she had refused to submit to his advances he had practically gift wrapped and handed her over to the humans. The vast majority of the world though Kitsunes were just myth and legend. That was only half true, many hid themselves around humans, living normal lives and the rest lived in very secluded areas; places no human would ever dare to tread.

She had been sold to a group of men who liked more challenging prey. They also had a whole library of kinks that made the fur stand up on all 7 of her tails. to make matters worse she was far from her home, they had brought her by private jet to the United States, the Midwest to be exact. Minoko stopped to catch her breath and to try and paw the collar from her neck. The leather band kept her from taking her human form and from healing. She was much larger than any ordinary fox and her eyes were a mix of gold and green. From muzzle to tail tips she was silver white.

The wind shifted again and the temperature seemed to drop once more. With the shift in the wind, came more speed as well as more snow. Without her powers she wasn't going to survive the night exposed to the elements so once more, tired, weak and hungry she started to walk. And walk. And walk until she could go no further and collapsed where she stood. The last thing she heard as the already fuzzy and white world went black was the sound of a snowmobile and the smell of a fire going. She had come so far only to die from exposure and have who knows what done to her body when they found her; IF they found her considering how heavy the snow was coming down. The sound of the engine grew louder, just before she lost consciousness.

Marcus Winters was an ex-NAVY SEAL. He had retired and moved out into the mountians of Colorado after he got home from Iraq. On his mantle he had a framed display of the medals he had earned during the war, along with a newspaper clipping that proclaimed him a war hero.

He didn't feel like a hero. He felt like a murderer after what had happened. At night he could still hear the screams and the gunfire. He thought he was a dead man when he heard the explosion, and the only reason he wasn't blind was that he had been lucky enough to be looking the other way when the flash went off. The nuke had been prematurely detonated fifty miles from Bagdad, in a little village he couldn't remember the name of.

After he came home Marcus moved into the woods in order to get away from anything and everything. Then came the gunshots. His body went into alert instantly. He pulled the glock from its holster on the wall and glanced out the window. He saw nothing, and figured it was probably just hunters hunting outside the season.

He opened the door and stepped out. The sounds of snowmobiles hung in the air something that put Marcus on edge. Hunters wouldn't be using snowmobiles they'd be on foot. Marcus sniffed the air and smelt blood, something is wrong.

He stepped out into the forest a bit and almost tripped over it. It looked like a large Fox, except it had a collar on and seven tails. The creature was breathing shallow and had two wounds, one in the leg and one in the side. Marcus tucked the gun into his waistband and sighed.

He bent over and scooped the creature into his arms, it was heavy but managable and he took it into his house. He set it down in front of the fire and ran his fingers through the fur near the wounds. The one in the leg was deep but the wound in the side was just a grazing. He turned toward the collar and looks at it. It was thick with a box on it and appeared to be one of those shock collars people use to keep their dogs quiet. He shook his head and unhooked the collar, then he turned away and went into the other room to grab his first aid kit.

[AngelofDeath]

While he was out of the room, he didn't see the transformation that took place. Now that the collar was off, Minoko's body was free to return to its normal form. Silver white fur was replaced with tanned skin. She looked to be a mix of European and Asian. Her hair stayed white though it didn't make her look old. In fact she didn't look more than 21, 19 at the youngest, though Minoko was much MUCH older than that.

When it was done all that remained of her other self were the fox ears on her head and the tails. The shot to her arm was just under her should and the one on her side just above her hips. Her nipples were the color of berries and while not large they were sizable. Thanks to the chill than lingered they wee stiff and taunt. Just as tempting was her pussy which only had a small strip of white fur upon it. Her lips were full and just a shade darker than her nipples. All in all she was quite attractive.

She was warm and alive, but didn't have the strength or the will to bring herself out of the blackness. Had she woken up she might have changed forms before her savior returned. As it was she was laying sprawled out on his couch when he returned.

[musicankane]

Marcus came back into the living room with the first aid kit. He jumped when he saw her laying there. What had been a fox when he left had become a woman, a strange woman with 7 tails and fox ears. He looked around wondering if this was some kind of joke, but he saw the wounds on the woman and knew it was the same thing.

He took a deep breath and moved to the woman ont he floor. At least he was more familiar with human first aid than animal first aid. He knew he was asking for trouble when he had carried a wounded seven tailed fox into his home. Once a soldier always a soldier he supposed.

He patched up her wounds and then grabbed a heavy blanket off his couch. He draped the blanket over her and then scooped her into his arms again and carried her to his bed. He set her down then went back into the living room to make himself some stew.

[AngelofDeath]

The first thing she noticed when she slowly came too was that she wasn't dead. The second was that she was warm and in a bed, a real bed at that. For a moment Minoko thought it had all been a horrible dream until pain lanced through her body when she tried to sit up. She let out a moan as she opened her eyes. Where was she? Her nose twitched at the smell of food, stew, venison. Minoko licked her lips and her stomach began to growl. It had been too long since she had good food. Pushing the blanket down with her good arm, the kitsune realized someone had dressed her wounds.

Her hand went to her throat, the collar was gone. It didn't help matters that she was still too weak to do anything more than shiver. Pulling the blanket up and around her, the kitsune slipped out of the bed and gingerly walked in search of her savior. Considering it was a small cabin it wasn't too hard. The man was standing at the sink, looking out the window, his back to her. The smell of the stew made her stomach growl again. Loud enough for him to hear.

When he turned , Minoko bowed as much as she was able to, "Thank you for saving my life. If you had not brought me in the snow or those men would have killed me." She wondered just how he was taking all this. North American had its own legends, but none of those creatures that were real came close to the raw power of a kitsune.

[musicankane]

Marcus was stirring the stew when he heard the woman wake up...he assumed she was a woman, despite her tails. She opened the bedroom door and stepped into the room, the blanket wrapped around herself. She thanked him and he poured her bowl of stew setting it on the table.

He made himself a bowl of stew and sat across from the woman and began to eat. He said nothing, he prefered the quiet. He had moved out to get any from trouble and if people wanted this girl dead, he knew she was going to bring him trouble.

He just ate, finishing his bowl and pouring himself seconds. He couldn't stop looking at her fox ears, such things he never seen before. She was something magic he had never known exsisted. Who could believe in magic nowadays?

[AngelofDeath]

Making her way to the table, careful to keep the blanket around her Minoko sat down. After another soft thank you, she dug into the bowl with fervor. When it was empty she used what little magic she could use to refill it and made short work of the that bowl as well before she sat back with a soft sigh, licking her lips.

He hadn't said anything. Didn't ask who she was, what she was, or why she had been shot. He was a soldier, no matter the point in time, they all looked the same. This one looked more battle weary than the others she had met and known. it was obvious though that company was the last thing he wanted.

"Thank you once again for saving me. I won't take your bed from you any longer. I'll go and leave you to your peace and quiet." As she stood, more pain raced through her nerves and she whimpered in pain. The blanket slipped down enough to show the bandage was starting to soak through with blood on her arm.

Her ears folded back into her hair, a sure sign she was in pain as she tried to walk away from the table. "Why now? Why here? Damn you Koji, if I ever see you again I am going to rip your balls off and feed them to you." Minoko muttered through clenched teeth as she limped to the couch. Even though it was just a grazing wound, the one above her hip hurt enough to send her to her knees. Being this weak was humiliating. She sucked back the tears though. The sound of snowmobile engines and the flash of headlights, sent her scrambling back. "No. please gods no." The hunter stopped, their boots could be heard crunching the snow as they looked around the front of the cabin.

Minoko turned her head and looked at the man at the table. Would he give her back to them? She didn't know him, didn't know if she could trust him. For all she knew he was working with them.

[musicankane]

Marcus heard the snowmobiles coming. He didn't like that way these guys were hunting this girl. They were using too much equipment for the hunt of a alone fox girl. If that was what she was....a fox girl. He glances at her as she curled up in fear on his couch.

He rose from his chair slowly, listening for the men outside. He calmly grabbed his pistol from the table and tucking it behind his back. He gave the woman on his couch a look and put a finger to his lips. She nodded slowly and clenched the blanket to her chest closer.

Marcus opened his front door and stepped outside. The hunters turning to him quickly with weapons raised.

Marcus put his hands up. "Can I help you gentlemen?"

The hunter leader stepped forward and gave him a look. "We are looking for a rare white fox. We've tracked it to somewhere around here."

"Well it's not hunting season and this is private property so I'll have to ask you all to leave." Marcus said.

The hunter glared at him. "We hunt whatever and whenever we please."

Marcus shrugged, "Then hunt somewhere else, I'd like you people gone."

The hunter looked into Marcus's eyes for a long time, then gesture to the men. They all moved back to the snowmobiles and began to leave.

When they were gone Marcus went back inside, locking the door behind him.

He looked at the girl on his couch, "You should get back in bed." He said calmly sitting back to his bowl of stew.

[AngelofDeath]

Minoko let out the breath she had been holding. for a long moment she had truly believed he would hand her over. When he hadn't, her like of the human went up several notches. When he mentioned sleep she yawned and shook her head, "I may be injured, but its poor manners to take your host and savior's bed. I'll be fine on the couch." It wasn't as soft as the bed, but it was still better than her previous accommodations.

"Thank you, you have a clue what the had planned for me if they caught me. Death would have been far too easy. If I were just another dumb animal I am sure I would be dead, but only a fool would kill a Kitsune, just because she made for a better hunt."

Her eyes fell on the collar where it lay on the floor. She was glad to be out of it. Even with rest and food it would still be two days before she was capable of doing anything more than just small bursts of power. Getting up she began to look around the small living room of the cabin. There were a few pictures here and there, mostly of him in uniform. His medals and the newspaper article proved her earlier thought, he had seen and been through much. "Marcus...nice name. Less of a mouthful than Minoko is."

She pulled the blanket more tightly around her. The kitsune was glad her back was to him, because she didn't want to see her succumbing to the build up of emotions she had ignored since this had all started. Minoko couldn't return to her clan, Koji would more than likely kill her this time and she had no clue as to where she would go. Never before had she been so far from her clan or other kitsunes.

[musicankane]

Marcus was quiet for a long time while she looked around the room. Her hands clung to the blanket and he sensed that she was out of places to go. Her concern for taking his comfort made him smile. He had slept for quite a while on the hard desert ground where even the couch would be a great improovement from what he was used too.

He finished his third bowl of stew and washed her bowl and his in the sink then cleaned the pot. "Don't be absurd. You're wounds will not heal correctly on the cramped couch. Please go take the bed."

[AngelofDeath]

Minoko nodded, wiping her face before she turned around, though her eyes were still a bit red. "They would, but they would just take longer, human speed to heal. I suppose you are right though. I can't take your hospitality though without repaying you in some way though. I'm no djinn, but there is plenty I can do that they cannot. Think about it."

She then slowly made her way back into the bedroom and curled up on the bed atop of the blanket, her tails draping themselves over her as she lay on her uninjured side. The long and thick appendages covered up most of her body from view.

"Good night Marucs," She called out to him before sleep claimed the kitsune and dragged her down. In her sleep she would toss and turn here and there.

[musicankane]

Marcus turned the fire down and went to lay on the couch. He closed his eyes and was asleep instantly but because of his training he remained alert. In the silence of the night he could still hear the snowmobiles buzzing around a few miles away. It left him wondering what exactly this girl was. She was unlike anything he had ever seen and the way she spoke of magic and strangely named creatures confused him. He had been a militry man and in the military the enemy was always very human if probably insane. To think there were people who could actually become animals was strange.

He woke with the sunrise and made a pair of four egg omlets with ham and cheese with a portion of hashbrowns. The sound of the gridle woke the fox girl, he heard her stir in the bedroom.

[AngelofDeath]

When Minoko came out she was wearing a thin silk robe. Her tails seemed to float behind her as she sat down at the kitchen table. Marcus had that look on his face when any human ran into one of her kind. They knew she was real, but didn't know how to handle it all. Throw in magic and their heads nearly exploded. As he cooked she yawned and stretched.

"I won't bother to ask how strange you all find this, because I know you do. So let's start with this; I'm not some science experiment gone wrong, or a random freak of nature. I'm a kitsune, Japanese fox spirit to some. Normally I would be back home with my clan, but unfortunately for me I said no to the wrong male. He sold me to them, and they brought me here. Fully healed I can do all sort so things. At the moment though simply making this robe, made me dizzy. When out in the woodland areas we tend to go about as you found me. That form is more easily thought by humans as just a figment of your imaginations."

She watched his face, "We're really no different than you, though at times more petty and vengeful."

[musicankane]

Marcus set her food in front of her at the table and turned back to the stove to make his own plate. He sat across from her and began to eat, still not saying anything as she finished talking. He took a sip of his orange juice and looked up at her.

"Japanese spirit fox." He said simply. "Now, you are being hunted because you pissed the wrng person off." He snorted, "For a magical spirit you sound like you've got a lot of problems."

He turned his attention back to his plate and focused on eating.

[AngelofDeath]

Minoko reached over so quickly that when he blinked one second she was on the other side of the table and the next she was next to him poking him in the chest. "Does this feel like a spirit to you? Oh and gee the next time some idiot who I have no interest in tells me, get that TELLS me not asks, that I am going to be his mate no ifs ands or buts, I will simply nod my head and say yes."

She moved away from him, growling softly under her throat. "My was not the most forward thinking clan. Most couples wee from arraigned matings. Mind you the vast majority are happy. Koji disgusts me, the idea of letting him rutting at me like some bloated bull makes me sick to my stomach. Telling him that is part of why I am here, but there is no excuse for this kind of betrayal. Female kitsunes outnumber males 3 to 1. Its not as if I was the only one around."

Minoko's tails flicked in annoyance and s she walked out of the kitchen. Carefully she looked out of the window, making sure no one could see her. Her kitsune nature was getting the better of her, because now she wanted to know what had made him so withdrawn.

[musicankane]

Marcus let the woman rant at him. He had learned a long time ago that every woman, no matter if they were part magic or not, needed to be left alone when they went on a rant. If anything was said, or any arguement came from your mouth things only would get worse.

So Marcus was silent until she stepped away from him. He watched her head to the windows and he began to do the dishes.

"Get away from the windows. They are still probably watching the house." He said simply. He made no apologys to her. He owed her nothing, and he was never one to be pushed around.

Then again he also was never one to butt into someone elses problems, but with this girl he may have stepped into a big pile of shit.

[AngelofDeath]

"No one is out there," she did turn away from the window and returned to the kitchen. Minoko fished her food before she carried the plate to the sink. "Don't worry I'll be out of your hair soon. You can go back to avoiding the world and forget that kitsunes even exist. Everyone else has."

Turning she sat in the living room and the fire. In her head she tried to think of any clans who might be willing to take her in. If not Minoko was going to have to do without the company of her own kind. The idea scared her to death. Being alone was agaist everything a kitsune was so the idea thtMArcus had come up this far from people by choice made her shake her head.

"What or who are you hiding from Marcus?"

[musicankane]

Marcus finished the dishes and began drying his hands in a rag. "How can I forget something exsists, if I was never aware it exsisted in the first place?" He asked her.

He stepped between her and the fire and toss the rag aside. "For the record, I'm not hiding from anything. I like the peace of being out here. I have been shot at, nearly blown up by roadside bombs and a nuclear weapon. You overstep your bounds by accusing me of anything." He growled.

He stepped closer to her. "You are welcome to stay here as long as you like. But don't try to fish out my demons, you wont like what you find."

[AngelofDeath]

Minoko tried not to smile as he was clearly trying to intimidate him. Even injure it would be a matched fight. "Tell yourself what you wish, Marcus. You are hidinh, from the world, yourself, whatever but you are. There is peace and quite and then the middle of nowhere. Guess where you are. And don't let the face fool you, I've seen things you can only read about in history books and story books."

She was just barely shorter than him. It ws enough to make her lift her head slightly to look up at him. Minoko blinked and looked away. She shouldn't have pushed. The man was entitled to his privacy. She could see that it was snowing again. "Well at least my tracks will be covered."

Minoko knew the men would stay in the area, intent on finding her. "We should probably toss the collar out into the snow far from here. Maybe they will give up if they think I managed to somehow get it off and flee."

[musicankane]

Marcus dismissed the thought. "I already took care of that collar. The hunters will find it in a tree a few miles south of here. I did it last night while you were sleeping." He said when she gave him a look of disbelief. "We soldiers have a bit of magic to us too darlin'."

He stood up and grabbed his heavy coat from the rack. Then took his car keys off a hook. He drove a military class Hummer, powerful enough to drive in any snow.

He turned to the kitsumeadon girl thing and asked her, "I have to go into town and get some groceries. Would you like anything specific?" He offered. "I'd offer to let you come along but I think the seven tails would tip people off."

[AngelofDeath]

"Yes I am sure they would if I couldn't do this," Minoko said softly as she concentrated. Slowly the tails faded from view. Her hair became darker and her fox ears were replaced with human ones. With the except of her eyes she looked very human and she could always say she had contacts in. "So how do I look?"

Even as accommodating as he had been so far, Minoko was fairly sure Marcus was trying to get away from her even if it was just for groceries. "But I don't think I can maintain this for long so guess what? You get to go with out me. Some green tea would be nice."

As she moved to sit down the tail and her normal ears came back. When she sat down she curled her tails around her. "I'll make sure to stay out of trouble."

[musicankane]

Marcus nodded and smiled. Then he was gone. At the store Marcus took his time, letting himself get anything that cuaght his eyes and despite himself he found his basket was full of not just things he wanted, but also things he thought that she would like. He bought japanese trail mix, and ramen, and japanese ice cream with a rice candy coating called Mochi balls. He even got her the green tea she had asked for.

When he came back he kicked open the door with seven bags of goreceries. "Lucy I'm home." He called.

She gave him a questioning look and he shook his head. "I always wanted to say that."

[AngelofDeath]

Minoko shook her head, "Humans are so strange." She watched him kick the door behind him before heading into the kitchen. She had thrown more wood on the fire and whipped up a few candles, leaving the air smelling like vanilla. Getting up she followed him into the kitchen and began to investigate just what he had bought. "Seven bags huh? I thought you only needed a few things."

When she pulled out the Mochi balls her eyes lit up and Minoko thre hersel fin his arms. "Do you kno whow much I love this stuff? Most of my clan hates human junk food, but this stuff is great." Deft fingers had the box open in a second and the first ball popped into her mouth. The kitsune moaned softly, her eyes half closing as she chewed.

"I could almost sleep with you for this," she was already grabbing a second.

[musicankane]

Marcus raised his eyebrows. "You could sleep with me for ice cream but not for saving your life?" He asked. "You Kitsune are a strange bunch." He began to put the goreceries away and forgot about the playby he had bought sitting underneath the mochi balls.

As he put the stuff in the ice box when he heard her give a snickering sound and pull the magazine out of the bag. Marcus spun around his eyes wide. "Hey that's not for...I read those."

[AngelofDeath]

"Sure you do. And as for saving my life I do remember telling you to think about what you wanted from me in thanks. Sex is simple, but you've got a powerful creature standing in your kitchen holding your porn and ready to hop on you just for junk food. I could make you wealthier than you ever imagined. Women would throw themselves at you, want you in all way and men would envy you, wish they could be you."

Minoko set the Mochi balls down and began flipping through the magazine, "I suppose they aren't ugly, but they aren't really stirring. Then again if you haven't had the real thing for some time I can see how this would be stimulating." A small smirk came to her face as she set the magazine down and looked at him. "Tell me Marcus do you really think you could be turned on by me or would any pussy do for you right now?"

Walking over to him, the robe fell open and off her shoulder, letting him see more of her breasts before she pressed herself against him, her tails curling around him.
