It's a Secret: Chapter 1
He ran. It was just to much, he couldn't handle it any longer. He tired quickly with the weight on his back. The weight of the possessions he had gained, that he saw as rightfully his. After all, it was only minimal compensation for what he had been forced to endure. Tears threatened to overwhelm him. No! He couldn't give in to despair. He forced a cruel smirk to come to his lips. From now on, life would be his to do with as he pleased. But he needed to rest first, he had been running all night. Those memories were still so fresh in his mind.
Flashback
"Wake up fox!" A foot came out of nowhere and struck him hard in the ribs. He toppled over as his eyes fluttered open. "You slept late again you worthless excuse for a Youko! Now get up and get to work."
The messy young boy rose shakily to his feet. He had long silver hair that looked much shorter than it was due to horrible tangles. His eyes were a beautiful shade of gold that showed a boy who had been robbed of his innocence a long time ago. He had to furry silver ears at the top of his head, and a bushy, but very sad looking tail. Though tall, he was a mere slip of a boy. He wore what resembled a magenta colored leather skirt. It was really an old piece of demon hide that he had found by chance in the forest that surrounded them. He shuddered when he pondered where it had come from. It was, however, the only piece of clothing he owned.
He had come to this small village as a small boy after his parents had been slain by soldiers. He had been taken in, but was treated like a slave. The man whom he served was the village elder, Katashi. He beat the Kitsune constantly and fed him only enough to keep him able to work. He was forced to preform a number of dangerous tasks that nobody else would do. At the moment, he was digging a deep hole that was intended to become a well, as the other one was drying out. He shivered as he attempted to dig through the ice hardened earth.
He was working when he felt a small hand rest on his shoulder. He whirled to find a young girl standing behind him. She had silver hair that reached just beyond her shoulders, white ears and a tail and sweet yellow colored eyes. She was about seven years old, when he was the demon equivalent of 15 years old. But despite that she was the only one who was kind to him, and the only person he felt he could call friend.
"Hello Kasumi." he greeted her quietly. "What brings you here?" He rarely spoke, and most of the times he did were to her. She was Katashi's daughter in name only.
She smiled shyly and held up a basket. "I was hoping you would eat lunch with me Youko." she answered, her look pleading. He didn't have a name, so she called him Youko. "Daddy is out for a while, so he won't see you." He hesitated then nodded his agreement.
They sat on a stump that they brushed the snow off of. They ate in silence, Youko savoring every bite. "I'm worried Youko." she said softly. "Daddy's going to do something bad." she stopped and looked up at him before going on. "I think you're in danger. I...I heard him talking to some strange demons. He's going to sell you to them Youko!"
He gasped a little at this. "Kasumi, are you sure about this?" she nodded. Youko sat back quietly, but his eyes showed the panic he was feeling. I can't believe this. No, I haven't been treated very well, but this is home for me. I have to get out of here! But where will I go? Kasumi crept silently away.
Youko went back to work, panicked thoughts racing through his head. He looked toward the treasure hold at the center of the village. It was a round building that kept the treasures they possessed safely lacked away. That's when he decided, he needed to get his hands on them when he left.
His thoughts were cut short when a couple of the villagers spotted him gazing at the hold. "Keep your eyes on your work, you unworthy slave!" one of them shouted at him. Before proceeding to beat him and shove him into the well he was digging. They pulled out the makeshift ladder. "Lets see you get out of there Youko." one of them laughed before leaving after the others.
He was more helpful than he intended to be. Now I can stay down here until nightfall. Youko curled up and whimpered in pain, as he planned his escape.
As soon as night fell, he leapt out of the hole with a grace that nobody had ever seen in him. He crept silently towards the hold. It was surprisingly easy to get in. As he grabbed treasures that looked valuable and stuffed them in a sack, he couldn't help but feel a thrilling excitement as he nabbed the prettiest treasures he could find. Soon he had finished his thievery and took of into the forest.
End Flashback
He collapsed on the ground, his sack of treasures by his side. This secluded clearing was the best he could do for shelter. His eyes started drooping. "Cold boy?" a mysterious voice inquired.
Youko leapt up, his eyes frantically searched for the source of the voice. They widened slightly as a chimera (bat demon) stepped out of the shadows and looked him over. The man before him was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.
The chimera had moved behind him, and captured Youko's arms above his head before he could blink. He blushed when he felt the stranger's body press against his. "You are cold." he said. Then suddenly Youko was on the frozen ground with the stranger straddling his hips. His blush deepened when he found that the area between his legs was significantly larger than usual.
One hand holding Youko's bound, the other holding the back of his head, the chimera looked into his eyes. "Let me keep you warm, foxy boy." With that the chimera's body lowered over his, and warm lips covered his own. Youko tried to resist at first, but he soon opened his mouth under the chimera's persistent tongue.
