Love Comes in Different Shapes
Part 1: Denial/The Pain of Lost
A 14 yrs old boy named, Gungho and his mother were living peacefully on their farmer, everything was moving around smoothly and they didn't a drop of trouble, until a strange woman appeared one day. Gungho and his mother also saw this strange woman, she was walking around looking at all the livestock. When Gungho's mother asked could she help her, the woman just put her head down and quickly ran outta the farm.
The next day a pack of Wild Houndours and Houndooms, lead by a Houndoom appeared, and were seen scavenging throughout the farm. The lead Houndoom then ordered the Houndours to raid the farm; they stole many of the farm's livestock.
Gungho and his mother didn't know how to defend their farm, the Pokemon just seemed to came outta nowhere. It didn't take the Houndoom and Houndour very long to take full control of the farm.
This ordeal had now been going on for weeks now and Gungho's mother was fed up, so she tried fending them off, but she end up being mauled by the dogs instead. She had to recover in the hospital, which left Gungho alone at the farm to fend off the Pokemon by his lonesome.
Gungho was really timid, and didn't know what to do against the savage Pokemon, but he also knew he couldn't let the Pokemon get away from hurting his mom, so he decided that he at least had to try to do something about the infest of Houndoom and Houndour.
Gungho had to think, he had to figure out what Houndoom were weak against, so many days went by and he was finally he able to teach himself how to ward off the Pokemon. He would strike them around with thing he saw lying around the farm or he would blast them with huge amounts of water. (Super Effective)
Many months went by then, anytime a Houndour would try entering the farm, Gungho would always stop them before anything horrible happen. However, what Gungho didn't know, a young female Vulpix named, Mikoto, was watching him. Mikoto was a special Vulpix, she had the power of to take the shape of a human for deception, but since she was young and really inexperience she didn't know how to turn all the way well, she would always leave her ears and tail showing.
Every time Gungho would defend his farm, Mikoto, in her human form, would sit up in a tree not too far way from him and watch him for hours, she didn't know why or the reason for doing this, something deep inside her use to tell her to watch him.
Mikoto lived among the Houndours, along with her stepfather, who was the lead Houndoom, and her elder sister, which was a Ninetails and two younger sisters, who were also Vulpix. Mikoto's sisters also shared the ability, Mikoto's younger sisters were just as inexperience as her, only her elder sister knew how to transform successfully.
The lead Houndoom would use Mikoto's older sister special power to infiltrate inside human villages, steal their food and then attack them. You see the lead Houndoom had a deep hatred for humans, and especially Gungho.
Now our story begins inside The Vulpix's den, where Mikoto was getting ready to celebrate her birthday, since she had a body of a child when she was in her human form, I'll say she's about 13 yrs old. "Uhh…I'm sorry I'm late guys!" Mikoto huffed, rushing into the den. "I was out sightseeing again…" she said, while slowly approaching her sisters.
"Mikoto? Mikoto? What took ya so long, sis? How could you be late for your own birthday?!" sighed Kohima, the youngest of Mikoto's sister. Kohima was a cute, small Vulpix, smaller than both Mikoto and she is 9 yrs old.
Mikoto looked at Kohima and started stammering. "Well you see…I was um…I-I was…"
"I know why." Koko snickered, while interrupted Mikoto. "I bet you were out there staring at that human again, huh?" Koko, Mikoto's younger sister, teased. Koko was also the second oldest Kyubi, 11 yrs old. Koko was also a cute little Vulpix as well, and was smaller than Mikoto.
Mikoto blushed, while angrily replying. "For your information, Koko! I was out getting some fresh air; unlike you I happen to know how the outdoors looks like."
"Enough bickering, you two." Their elder sister scolded. Mikoto's elder sister name was Matoya, she was a shiny Ninetails, her tails were longer than usual. Let us say she looked very different from a normal Ninetails. She was a very kindhearted Ninetails and hated when the lead Houndoom forced her to use her powers for deception.
"We're sorry, big sis." Both Vulpix said in unison.
Matoya then turned toward Koko and huffed. "And Koko, you should really be ashamed. How could you tease Mikoto on her birthday?"
Koko just put her head down. "Sorry, big sis…" she muttered.
Matoya just sighed. "Oh, don't worry about it; let's just finish enjoying the rest of Mikoto's birthday. Oh, yeah! That reminds me of something." she then turned toward a small hole in the cave and walked inside of it.
"I wonder what big sis's going to get." Kohima muttered, while staring inside the hole. "I'll bet it's a present for you, Mikoto." she giggled, as she turned to Mikoto.
"You think?" said an excited Mikoto. "Big Sis, always seem to get the best stuff."
"Yeah, that's true." Kohima said, while nodding. "Do you ever wonder where does she go to get all that stuff?"
As Mikoto and Kohima continued to giggled, Koko just stared at Mikoto. Quickly noticing this, Mikoto turned to Koko and said. "What's wrong with you?"
"Admit it, Mikoto, the only reason you're always outside, because you want to look at that human boy. You're in love with him, aren't you?" Koko said, glaring at Mikoto. "You know it's forbidden, right? There's no way that a human and Pokemon can coexist with each other, let alone be lovers."
Kohima just stared at Koko. "Koko…" she murmured.
"How dare you speak to me that way, I am your elder sister!" Mikoto snarled, growling deeply at Koko.
"There's no way that I'm in love with a human, I have my reasons for going outside all the time!"
"Come on, stop it, you two." pleased Kohima. "Didn't Big Sis tell you two to stop bickering?"
"You have reasons for always going out?! Please!!" Koko sneered, while growling back at Mikoto. "What are they then? I'm dying to hear it!"
"What do I look like?! I don't have to explain myself to you!" Mikoto snarled, approaching Koko.
Koko just smirked. "You see. This just proves my point; you are in love with him. You're just too pigheaded to admit it." she then shook her head. "Uh, uh, uh…I'm really appalled by your behavior, Mikoto." she chuckled, mockingly.
"What's your problem, Koko?!" Mikoto sneered, while walking up to her.
Koko had a stern look on her face, as she said. "My problem is you! How are you setting a good example for me and Kohima, if you're out there falling in love with humans?"
"What is wrong with you?! Didn't I already tell you, that I'm not in love with any humans?!" Mikoto shrieked, loudly.
"Oooh, you're so lying. Why are you so much in denial, Mikoto?!" said Koko.
"I'm not lying, and I'm not in denial!" Mikoto yelled.
"Yes, you are!" countered Koko.
"Take that back, right now!" seethed Mikoto.
"No! Why should I, when I know it's the truth." Koko smugly, huffed. "Oh, oh, you and that human gonna make some many cute babies, I can't wait to see how they'll look like…Hehehe…"
"Alright, be that way, and don't take it back, Koko." Mikoto then ran over to Koko and smack her across the face with her tail. "That's what you get for always trying to talk big, especially when you know you can't beat me!" Mikoto was staring angrily at Koko.
"Ow…That really hurt." Koko whimpered, while rubbing her face. "You think I can't beat you? Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you're wrong, and I'll just have to show you!" Koko then pushed Mikoto back, and tackled her to the ground.
"Err…" Mikoto grunted in pain. "Oh, yeah?! Take this!" she then lifted her paw and raked Koko in the face.
"Uhh…My face…" Koko grunted, stumbling backward, holding her face. "I've had just about enough of you." she then quickly countered Mikoto with a scratch of her on.
Kohima watched as her two sisters continued to fight. "Stop it! Stop fighting, you two!!" she screamed.
Suddenly Matoya came walking back into the room, she was dragging a lot of sweet food back inside, it seemed that all the commotion had caught her attention. "What's going on in here?!" she then saw that her two oldest sisters were fighting, and the youngest crying, loudly.
"What are you two DOING?!" Matoya yelled, while running up to the two Vulpix and then pushing them away from each other. "Why are you fighting each other?!" she angrily said, glaring at both Vulpix.
Koko then blurted out. "Big Sis, this is all Mikoto's fault, if she would just admit that she's in love with that human, that's always messing with daddy, then this fight wouldn't happened."
"In love with a human?" Matoya muttered.
"She's lying! I'm not in love with that human or any human…" Mikoto yelled, while looking at Koko. Matoya then turned and looked at Mikoto. "Uhh…You do believe me, don't you…" she muttered.
Matoya just stared at Mikoto and said. "No…Not really…" Mikoto just turned her head, and sighed, while blushing slightly.
"Ya, see…I told you, Mikoto, nobody believes you!" Koko boasted. "Now, tell her, Sis. Tell her what dad always says, he says humans and Pokemon can never coexist with each other, it's just impossible." she said, walking over to Matoya.
Matoya looked at Koko and smiled. "That's not all entirely true, little sis…" she said, rubbing Koko's head.
Mikoto, Koko, and Kohima all stared in sheer disbelief at their older sister. "But, whaddya mean, Sis?" asked Koko. "I thought dad always said that humans are nothing, but an infest and a nuisance to existence?"
"You're wrong, Koko." Matoya chuckled, while placing the food in front of her younger sisters. "Unlike, Houndoom, I don't think poorly of the humans at all, as a matter of fact, I'm glad the humans are around, if they weren't I wouldn't been able to get this food, now wouldn't I?" she smiled.
"Big Sis?! Are you telling me that you went into your human form and brought this food from a human village?!" asked a surprised Koko. "I thought dad said he didn't want us to make any contact with humans?"
"Why do you keep calling him, FATHER?!" shrieked Mikoto. "He's not our real father, you know?! It's his fault why we can't even go walking around freely anymore."
"Calm down, Mikoto." said Matoya. "I know what Houndoom said; it will just be our little secret, okay. Plus, if it wasn't for a human you all probably wouldn't..." she then nudged the food toward them. "Forget about it; just eat the food I got for you all, okay?"
"Alright, Big Sis." All the Vulpix said in unison.
As Kohima and Koko ate their food, Mikoto couldn't help, but to stare at her older sister. "I wonder what big sis was about to say…" she muttered.
About an hour had passed since the Vulpix had started eating. The Lead Houndoom and the other Houndoom came barging inside the cave. The lead Houndoom was bigger than the other Houndooms and had a deep scar over his left eye, he also knew about Mikoto's little escapades.
"Damn, that human! Another failed attempt." Houndoom muttered. He then looked down at all the food. "What's going on in here?! Where did you get all this food?!" he roared.
"Um…Well…I found it when I was walking around the forest…" Matoya said, while smiling nervously.
"All of this food?" Houndoom said, staring at her, strangely.
"Well…Yes." Matoya smiled.
"Daddy!" Koko cheerfully shrieked, as she ran over to Houndoom. "We're celebrating Mikoto birthday. Do you want some of this food?"
"Birthday?" Houndoom then turned and stared at Mikoto. "Starting tomorrow, you'll be hunting with the pack for now on."
Mikoto looked at her mom and then back at Houndoom. "Me?" she muttered, nervously. "B-But…"
"But nothing, you're old enough now, so you'll be coming." As Houndoom turned to the other Houndooms, he smirked sinisterly. "C'mon, we've gotta finish making preparation." he then started to exit the room, with the other Houndooms slowly following behind him.
Matoya quickly ran in front of Houndoom. "Please reconsider; Mikoto isn't experience enough to go hunting with your pack yet."
"No. There's nothing to reconsider about." he sternly said. "She'll be with us when we kill that…human and finally seize control of his farm. Now, if you would please excuse me." The Houndoom then left the Matoya's den.
Koko walked over to Mikoto. "Humph. How are you gonna get yourself outta this one, Mikoto?" she smirked, while whispering in Mikoto's ear. "You know you're not up to in hurting the human you love. Do you think dad's honestly gonna understand that?"
"Shut up! I told you I'm not in love with any humans." Mikoto said, pushing Koko away. "Just leave me alone." she then ran out of the cave.
"Oh…Mikoto…" Matoya muttered, while staring at Mikoto.
The Next Day
Mikoto slowly walked out of her room and into the main part of the den. "Today's the day, I guess I should be happy, but I can't help, but to feel regret." she muttered.
As Mikoto walked around, she noticed that the den was completely empty. "I wonder where everyone went to." Suddenly she noticed Koko running toward her, she was breathing heavily. "What's wrong, Koko, why are you in such a rush?" she asked.
"It's Big Sis…" Koko muttered, tears coming down from her face. "She's…She's dying…"
"WHAT?!" Mikoto shrieked.
"C'mon!" Koko shouted, grabbing Mikoto.
Koko and Mikoto ran all the way to their oldest sister's room. "BIG SIS?!" Mikoto yelled, running into her sister's room.
Mikoto looked around and then saw her sister lying on the ground; Kohima was right next to her.
"Please don't leave us Big Sis…" Kohima whimpered.
"Ma…Matoya…Are you okay?" Mikoto murmured, slowly walking to her. But, she didn't responded back whatsoever. "No…Please, no…"
Koko walked over to Kohima and Mikoto. "She was walking around the forest, when that human you're in love with, attacked her for no reason." Mikoto turned and stared at her. "Dad told me."
"…Mikoto…" Kohima muttered, turning to Mikoto.
"Uh…I…Uh…I don't know what to say." Mikoto then turned and ran outta the den.
Mikoto ran all the way to the tree where she goes and stares at Gungho. "Why…" she muttered, turning into her incomplete human form. In her human form, Mikoto wore a red kimono with flora patterns on it and white footies, she had long brown that stop at her back, but like I said before, it was incomplete, her fox ears poked out her brown hair and foxtail poked out her…um…butt.
Mikoto climbed up the tree and sat in the same spot she always sits in, to watch Gungho. "I should hate and despise you." she said, watching as Gungho cleaned around the farm. "But yet…I still feel compassion toward you." suddenly Gungho slightly turned his head toward the tree. "Eeeeeek!" she shrieked, falling outta the tree. "D-Did he see me?" she was so embarrassed, that she found herself blushing. "Uh…I-I'm blushing?"
Suddenly Mikoto found herself surrounded by the pack of Houndoom and Houndour; they were looking down at her. "What're you doing, girl?!" sneered The Lead Houndoom. "We would have attacked you if I didn't recognize your scent…" he was looking at her up and down. "Why are you in that disgusting human form?"
"Well…I…Um…I was thinking, I could use my human form to trick that human." Mikoto said, but Houndoom just stared at her. "Well…Um…I could seduce him, and when he let's his guard down, that's when you all could get your chance to finally kill him…"
"Hm. That's not a bad idea, at all, just don't let us down." Houndoom huffed, while walking passed her. "By the way, I've heard about your sister, now you see why the humans should be eliminated."
Mikoto just placed her head down. "Yeah…I guess."
"Well, C'mon." said Houndoom. "We have a human to destroy!"
"…Okay…" Mikoto muttered, slowly followed behind. "Big Sis, please watch over me…" she said to herself.
As the Houndooms and Houndours walked in front of Mikoto, The lead Houndoom turned toward the others and whispered. "Listen, the girl can not be trusted, if she lets us down, don't hesitate, kill her."
"Yes, sir!" The dogs muttered, while nodded.
