A/N:Hey all, and welcome to Chapter two! I'm trying to figure out when I should do updates and all...but I'm not sure. Perhaps some suggestions later on? Although this is only chapter two I know this story is going to be longer than the first year! Hope you all enjoy, I couldn't help but laugh as I wrote this chapter.

Rather obvious disclaimer: I don't own Starfox, only my OC's

Chapter 2

Kyber

Once everything was packed I donned my white hoodie that I had kept the year previously. My nerves were on edge although I did my best to appear calm. The three of us left the dorm with Wolf and my belongings, heading out to the school parking lot. Strangely, Wolf didn't seem as freaked out about this as I was, as though we were all just heading out to visit someone. Lorelei led the way as we neared the lot; two figures stood waiting for them. One was dressed in a familiar red cloak while the other was dressed rather formally, as if leaving for a business trip. I quickly recognized the two as Ember and Leroi, two very close friends of mine.

"Wolf, you still have your car, right?" The question came from Lorelei as she didn't slow down.

"Yeah, it's here in the lot; why?" Wolf sounded somewhat confused. Lorelei ignored the question, tossing her keys to Ember, who caught them without a problem.

"What about the Wolfen?"

"It's in one of the school hangars."

"Ember, you know what to do, take Kyber along the back roads." The young hound nodded, quickly walking to the tigress' own car; I quickly followed. Wolf made to follow me but was stopped by Lorelei. "You're not going with him"

"And why the hell not?" Wolf cried out, ready to throw a fit. I didn't hear more as I put my stuff in Lorelei's car and got in the passenger side, putting my hood up as Ember got in the driver's seat and quickly took off. The city passed by as the two of us sat in silence for a while before a call broke said void.

Wolf

As we left I found myself not caring that none of this seemed normal, I was with Kyber and that's what mattered. As we neared the parking lot I noticed two familiar figures, wondering just what their plans were, since I was never informed. I was interrupted from my thoughts by Lorelei.

"Wolf, you still have your car, right?"

"Yeah, it's here in the lot; why?" I was confused with what my car had to do with any of this. Lorelei ignored the question, much to my annoyance, and tossed her keys to Ember, who caught them without a problem.

"What about the Wolfen?"

"It's in one of the school hangars." The line of questions didn't make sense to me, but I figured I wouldn't be told anyway. I was proven right when Lorelei kept speaking.

"Ember, you know what to do, take Kyber along the back roads." The Ember nodded, quickly walking to the tigress' own car, Kyber walking a few feet behind. I went to go follow the two of them but my progress was halted by a certain white tigress. "You're not going with him"

"And why the hell not?" It took a lot of control not to start throwing a fit like a five year old. Kyber was already out of sight and I heard a car speed off from somewhere.

"We can't have everyone traveling in the same car, and it wouldn't make sense to leave yours here. Leroi will be coming with you in your car to make sure you both get where you need to be, you both will be taking the main roads." Lorelei said simply, bit by bit informing me of what was going on.

"What about you?" Noticing she seemed to have left herself out.

"Yeaaaaah…About that…Gimme the keys to your wolfen." She said.

"WHAT? No way! You'll damage it!" holding the keys close to my body, only one person was allowed to fly it and that was me.

"Wolf, either give me the keys, or I will leave you here . I promise no harm will befall your Wolfen and I will take care of it as though it were my own future child." Her voice left no room for argument, however…

"But.." Lorelei was really twisting my arm here…My Wolfen was the only thing I debatably took more care of than Kyber. 'This shouldn't even need to be a choice..' I thought to myself

'Well on the other hand you could always stay here and be with Fox…' There just had to be that one side who loved playing the devil's advocate… With a sigh I reluctantly gave her the keys to my Wolfen.

"Thank you." She said "Besides, where we're going you'd need clearance to get near the house, which is why Leroi is going with you, and I'm taking the Wolfen. I wouldn't want you to have to leave something behind." I kept my mouth shut, not trusting the words to be kind rather than threatening. As grateful as I was that they were even letting me in on what they were doing I was now worried about what would happen to my Wolfen, the one thing I put almost all my time and effort into over the summer trying to get it ready for the new year.

Lorelei quickly bounded off towards the hangars as we strode over to my car. I tossed Leroi the keys and he gave me a confused look but got in the driver's side anyway. I didn't trust myself to be able to think straight… Within moments we were off, traveling down the main roads of Corneria City, a call patched in from the Wolfen.

"Hey guys, no trouble here…I'll be waiting for you guys when you get to your destination, everything should be ready by then." Leroi just nodded softly while a widespread grin danced across Lorelei's features. "Wolf you have got to let me fly this thing some more later!"

"You're flying it now, that's enough time."

"Aww you're no fun!" She pretended to pout for a little bit before going back to her normal self. "The drive may take a while, so why don't you try calling your "chew toy"?" She playfully suggested. My face went a deep scarlet as I started sputtering in embarrassment. Leroi seemed to be suppressing a snicker as a ghost of a smile touched his features. Before I could reply Lorelei had cut the transmission.

"Chew toy?" Leroi asked, there was no possible way to disguise the amusement in his voice.

"Fuck you…" I mumbled, crossing my arms, my face still crimson as I tried to regain myself.

"I'm sure you'd love to, but I'm afraid Kyber's your boyfriend, not me." He quickly countered, clearly enjoying the fact that I was thrown off by the "nickname" that they seemed to have assigned Kyber. I gave a small growl in annoyance and that ended to conversation for a little bit. As we drove on more of the city passed us by. At the moment we were stopped at a red light waiting for it to turn green. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Leroi hit a button, it was the call function that was put into every car that allowed for hands free communication. It rang a few times before the other end picked up.

"Hello?" I recognized the voice immediately; it was Ember's.

"Hey, we're on our way; almost there, in fact. What about you guys?" Leroi stated, making casual conversation.

"Taking us a bit longer but we shouldn't be too long…Hold on let me turn on the video feed." After a few moments a small holographic image appeared before us. Kyber was sitting back in his seat, his muzzle the only thing really visible in terms of his face. The light turned green at that moment and Leroi continued to drive, while during the rest of the way I got a few questions answered. I was told that we were heading to Lorelei's father's house and that he would be more than happy to let us all stay. I had also found out that the house was where Kyber had stayed over the summer, and that it was one of the absolute safest places for him to be.

A few moments later and we had finally arrived at our destination, just passing the gates that led to the house. I saw Lorelei's car already waiting yet no sign of the Wolfen and wondered where it may be. Trying to push the thought aside I tried to take in the details of the house. It seemed fairly unordinary, a few windows with the curtains drawn to keep the light, and prying eyes, out. The walls were a pristine white that nearly shone in the sunlight. A small flight of stairs led to an arched doorway with wide metallic double doors. Not much gave off the fact that this house belonged to someone of the upper class, the house even looked to be only one story, and not even large enough to host all of them. When the car came to a stop I got out and quickly grabbed my stuff before heading over to Kyber who finally took down his hood and flashed a small smile at me.

"Ready to see the inside?" He inquired, his tone sounded as though I'd be fairly impressed but I wasn't too sure.

"I guess so." I shrugged. With that Kyber led me inside, the rooms were Spartan at best, void of most furniture.

"Okay, just what are you trying to pull here?" I asked, suddenly seeming to find myself on the receiving end of some big joke.

"Just be patient and follow me." Kyber replied as he continued to drag me around the house. Leroi and Ember accompanied us once we wound up in a rather spacious room filled with bookcases, appearing to be someone's private study.

"You sure we should be in here?" I asked sounding unsure.

"Of course, don't worry." Kyber immediately wandered over to the books, pulling certain ones off the shelves and placing them back. I began to wonder just what he was doing when two of the bookcases started to move, pushing outward and then sliding to the side, revealing a hidden passageway. I didn't have much time to wonder what was down there as I was once again dragged by my black lupine lover. Once the four of us were descending a flight of hidden stairs I heard a small click, presumably the bookcases sliding themselves back into place. A dull green light illuminated the stairway as we walked, providing just enough light to see. Once we reached the bottom I couldn't believe what I saw. We were in a large spacious room that appeared to be an underground living room. The walls were made of some sort of metal, along with the flooring; White lights pulsed underfoot and overhead, illuminating the room, revealing a room with a rather long U shaped couch, an ornate glass coffee table that sat on a rug which all sat before a rather large screen T.V, the kind you might see in a high tech briefing room. I was pulled from my fascination by the sound of footsteps coming from a hallway. It was revealed to be Lorelei, along with an older looking orange tiger behind her.

"Hey guys, glad to see you could make it." She beamed.

"Yes, so nice of you all to come. Your rooms should all be ready for you." The older tiger said behind her. "Oh where are my manners? Lorelei dear, would you be so kind as to introduce me to your new friend?" He asked, pointing a clawed finger towards me.

"Dad, this is Wolf O' Donnell." She said, introducing me.

"Ahh, so you're the famous "Wolf" I've been hearing so much about." His words caused Kyber to look away slightly as his tone was slightly amused.

"Wolf, this is my father, Professor Isaac Cefire." Taking a look at her father, I noticed that although he looked to be in his 50's. His body, from what wasn't hidden, revealed rather muscular limbs. His black hair was swept back, aside from a small section that seemed to angle outward and back over one of his amber eyes.

"Nice to meet you," I said.

"Oh no, it's a great pleasure to meet the one who's put a smile on Kyber's face. I look at him as though he were my own son, and so it warms my heart that he's found someone such as yourself," He said with an easy smile.

"Kyber, why don't you show Wolf around?" Kyber nodded and I set my stuff down before allowing myself to be shown around.

Kyber

I was glad to have Wolf finally show up at the house and was excited to show him around. Professor Isaac…or "Dad" as I sometimes called him, depending on the mood I was in, seemed to have taken a liking to Wolf, which was a good thing. I smiled as I showed Wolf around the house. The house before was somewhat of a distraction, to keep away prying eyes. The real house was underground by the secret passage we had taken. It took a little while to briefly show Wolf most of the house, I could show him in detail tomorrow. I showed him the kitchen, rec room, "Dad's" laboratory, the training room, the underground hangars, where wolf seemed to become very relaxed after seeing his Wolfen sitting peacefully next to a silver and gold jet fighter. After a while we had finally gotten around to the bedrooms, indicating Lorelei's, Isaac's, Leroi's, Ember's and then finally my room.

"Where am I sleeping?" Wolf asked, his tone indicating that he was not entirely aware if he were staying with me or not as we stepped into my room.

"With Kyber of course." Lorelei's voice could be heard from the doorway "Why wouldn't we let you sleep with your chew toy?" She grinned and now it was my turn to go scarlet as I tried to find interest in anything around the room, embarrassment radiating from my being.

"Anyway." She continued, "The rooms are completely sound proof, no one can hear what is going on from above or below, or from the next room over that is. The house also has a signal jammer, which hides us from scanners so long as we stay down here and don't go up to the top house. Each of the rooms can however hear and see what is going on above so long as you tell dad's home system to do so. You both will be sharing a bathroom, though I don't think that will be a problem. As for clothes, well, you have your own but if you ever need more, Kyber has plenty here that you can borrow." She said with a grin "Oh, before I forget, give me your phones." Kyber handed his over without hesitation, I did the same. "Sorry, Kyber knows the rules; we'll be replacing these with ones that can't be tracked and pre-program all of our numbers into them. But I'll leave you two alone now." And with that the tigress sauntered off.

I gave a small sigh and looked at the time on the clock perched on the nightstand by my bed. I hadn't expected it to be so late. I took off my shoes, hoodie, and pants leaving myself in an undershirt and boxers before padding over to my bed, Wolf following my lead shortly as he now lay next to me. I turned so I could face him, wrapping my arms around him and giving him a small kiss before drifting off to sleep.

A/N: I'm considering once a week like last time...Fridays I think this time though. Anyways...hope you all enjoyed! Odds are I missed something in my repetitive looking over of the chapter, if so, please point it out!
