Much to Tens annoyance, D gave him not much later a lecture in behaving himself.
Also he told the male Kitsune that he liked the female human much and did not like to see her this upset. In the end he asked the fox what he had thought that he was doing…
Now, hours later, Ten could still not answer D this question fully, he simply had no clue of why he snapped at the female in the first place. To be honest, Ten knew it wasn't her mistake that this all had happened, it was his and his own alone. He had enraged her, he had let her get the better out of him and he should have known it better as to give something about her heated mumblings after Ayoshi had angered her in the hallway!
He could simply not explain it why he reacted this violently to a female he did not even know.
Leons later comment about love and war brought the silver fox finally a clue of what had driven him to anger her in the first place. Much to his embarrassment, Jill had a point when she called him an hormone ruled idiot. Tens live was ruled by such things…especially when it came to interactions between females and males in his live.
He was a animal in the end and now, after calming down a little the fox realized it slowly that he had provoked her because of his hormones!
Groaning at the thought he buried his face in his tails, it was a simple thing, if you looked at it with a sane mind. He had wanted to demonstrate her who was the male and who was here the female…in simpler words told; his animal side had tried it to dominate her. Nothing more and nothing less as that! In Tens little world and sight of things, it was this way and not another around. The females had to obey and the males took care of them in any way possible.
End of story.
The human female must have somehow fueled his primal instincts when she was fighting with him in the room, otherwise Ten could not make sense out of the entire situation. Then there was that thing with her scent…it had been a part to fuel his reactions in the end too.
…to think that this grown and given, beautiful female could be a real virgin…who could have thought of that?! The males of her species must be blind to not get this woman as fast as possible inside their beds!
How old was Jill anyways? He concluded that she must be in the age of the detective…ooops, ex detective now.
That meant she was near to 35 or younger. Now Ten was a curio, how did that woman stay alone and without a male in her live all the time??? The short thought that the female could like her own gender crossed his line of thoughts…only to make him gulp seconds later and curse at nothing in especially.
That could not be true!
So, what did he miss here?
To judge from her clean scent, she could have told him the true…on the other hand, which male with a sane mind did not try to get such a woman as his partner?
Even humans wasn't normally that dense, so why then that clean scent?
Somehow this female grew increasingly to an constant riddle to the fox male, a riddle he could not puzzle out, dammed!
Even Ten had to give her credit about Jill's looks, she was a beautiful female with wits and a sharp mind…if she would have been a female fox, Ten would have been tempted to mate her. The way she stood her ground against him made the fox still shiver pleasantly…to get the better out of him took something more normally as only that. The sight she had unknowingly given him when she sparred with him with words had forever ingrained itself in Tens mind.
Blue eyes, ablaze with an inner fire a softly red tinted face from her anger and flying honey blonde curls around the creamy colored skin of her face and body…that female was a sight to behold! Grinning Ten questioned himself if she would always look that sexy when she was angry. His tongue licked mindlessly over his fur meanwhile the sharp mind was busy with thinking.
No, he thought, she could not have staid virgin with that looks and body until now, never!
But why did she then smell nearly as one…now he did bite in one of his tails, ack! It had no use, he would have to find out what she meant with her statement himself, or go insane with the question haunting him forever. Slowly the realization sunk into his brain that he wanted to make her angry because he had wanted her…to what? To hit him? He gave a laugh, no, not really he thought. To bed her? To see how she would look when she was angry?
Warmer territory, Ten decided while grinning languidly into the nightly darkness of his rooms, much warmer indeed.
Then it hit him finally, his instincts had tested her. Tested her if she could stay up against him and hold her place…blinking red eyes where the only indicator for seconds that he was still a breathing creature. Then a barking laugh filled the air, all right, Ten thought, that was it then!
His mind told him finally the clue to the why this all had happened.
Well, he thought with now half closed eyes, it seems she can do that with ease. His tongue licked over the still slightly sore spot in his mouth. Her hit had made a tiny wound inside of his mouth when her hand connected with his face and so, the inner skin connected with his sharp teeth's. that female could hit Tetsu under a table with that blows!
How long did I had not meet a female that could stand up against me?
Ten was not sure but the last he could remember that could do that without to go down was long dead. She had been a female of his own kind, with eight tails and the mate of his own brother. If she would have not been his brothers Ten would have taken the sly female as his own mate in the end, he was sure. The live of the Kitsune was mostly boring like hell! It gave nothing much that still could surprise Ten Chan after so many years of live.
Or outsmart him more then one time in only one night.
Leon was right, he really had a bad touch with this human female!
By now his nerve endings told the fox all too clearly and pleasantly that it was not healthy for him to think about certain parts of Jill's body more closely for now, because lower parts of his body reacted much too much to it for his own likening!
He got up and went to the rooms of the female cats. His plans could wait for later, now he had a problem to take care of. Some of the occupants of that rooms would be more then happy to romp through the sheets with him.
After all he had his charms not for nothing!
Meanwhile Ten amused himself with the cat girls, Jill sat finally in her tube and soaked.
Why in the name of god did she react this much to the teasing little asshole in the room? Her memory had finally told her that it have been him who was nice to her that day…the only one she could remember of to do that to her in that passed days.
Her second step father told her one day, years later that his partner and he only found her in that tree because they followed a young silver haired punk who told them that he saw a fox run after a little girl and her cat in the garden.
Now feeling slightly guilty and still angered at the same time, she could not put this all together in her mind.
Her body sunk in the water until her breasts vanished under the bubbles of the same bath she was soaking in. he looked rather cute when he was that angry, Jill found.
Never the woman had let someone talk her down before in her live. The nerve of him to try to subdue her with that little act! What did that fox boy thought he was? Superman? His long braid had flown through the air when he snapped at her angrily. That eyes…she shivered slightly in the warm water, not even Michael had such a look in his brown ones all the time they had a fight.
Frustrated, huh? She snorted, and then closed her eyes. Michael Glover, her former partner, before she got Leon and nearly ten years older as Jill when they met and grazed with an equally bad temper as Leon! With one important difference, Michael was only her partner and not a brother like friend to her like Leon was it since their both childhood days.
The older police detective and Jill where lovers for nearly two years and wanted finally to settle down with each other…only, it never came to that.
Michael glover died in an accident one month before their marriage.
That was now more then ten years ago… shortly after that, she and Leon put up as partners and then count D and all happened.
Jill had more then once in the last years an invitation to a dinner or more. That was it not. She just did not want someone else again in her live.
When she got the urge to have sex with someone, the woman went out and found every time one more then willing male being that gave her exactly what she wanted.
No strings attached, just like Jill wanted it to be. deep inside her own mind, Jill knew, she only fleet the nearness with others, but her soul had broken when Michael died. His sly humor, his never-ending patience and calm hell even his temper tantrums when they both had a fight with each other…the man never made her feel bored or alone. She mused about how long she had not slept with someone else…nearly a year, her brain told Jill. The last romp in the sheets had blond hair and if her mind told her not wrong things, the name Andrew.
Scowling now, Jill decided that she could have use for a round in the next days.
Frustrated, she…only to live a carefree live did not automatically mean that she had to feel frustrated!
Fifteen minutes later, she sat on her bed and brushed her hair out.
In her mind busy with planning for tomorrow night. She gazed at the nearby clock, it was almost morning, too late to call Leon and ask him if he wanted to come with her…then her brain told her suddenly that he now was with D. Laughing Jill decided to forget the last though and to go alone then.
Maybe Chris and his grumpy friend would want to come with her?
The next afternoon found the honey blonde haired woman in the pet shop next to an apologizing D. Smiling she told him that she was not mad any longer and reassured the poor Kami that she was feeling really fine. Later Jill found the red head and Chris in the kitchen of this strange place, making together the cleaning up in the very same one.
Jill nearly doubled over when she saw Tetsu wearing an apron, amused to no end! It brought her a glare from the horned red head and a amused smile from Chris. Soon the agitated beast calmed down and told Chris that he would go out tonight. He did not tell the young blonde why or where he wanted to go…Jill found that rather strange. She took the opportunity to ask the two if they wanted to accompany her tonight in Hong Kong's streets. To her utter surprise both blanched slightly and tried to tell her excuses of why they wanted to go alone. After some minutes, Christopher gave it finally up and told Jill that she would not like it to know why Tetsu wanted to go alone.
Much to the red heads seemingly unease.
She regarded the two with her famous, I think you two hide something, look for some minutes then turned to leave. Tetsu´s hand came up and stopped her before she could leave the through the door. He asked her rather bluntly what she knew about him anyway, after her soft shrug of shoulders, the red head told her a story that Jill would not have believed if she had not been, Jill.
She sat on the table for some minutes in silence, thinking all the time about what she just heard.
Then she told the surprised Tao Tie that she did not care as long he held himself on subjects like drug dealers and such. She was too long a cop to not hate them. Jill also knew too much already to longer care, her childhood had teacher her that all too well.
She wasn't dump, even if she saw him now as a humanoid person did not automatically mean that he was one! His horns gave him as an animal away all the time. To her surprise Chris did not seem to mind his strange friend his eating habits, the young man rather seem to agree with her in the matter to take only on victims that would not missed much from the police or the world. To take only on the violent members of her race would spare her police partners in this land a lot of troubles with them.
It was settled after this short interlude, and the nightly sky found them three later on the streets below.
When the beast finally vanished, Jill and Chris had a fun time together in a small bar until he came back. Nothing gave away that something happened to him meanwhile he was gone…but somehow Tetsu seem to have more calm in him when he finally came back. Before the beast had practically paced next to them two all the time and growled at all that came his way.
When they finally decided to take a look in one of the big dance temples here, he even agreed to come too.
Jill did not really want to know what Tetsu did when he was away somehow it seem not to matter to her I any kind of way. His comments amused her all the time and she felt at ease in the presence of the beast. The only thing that wondered Jill was that no one seem to see Tetsu´s horns all the time. The others seem to see him as an harmless red haired man and not like she and Chris saw him, as a golden cat eyed inhuman male being with curled horns sprouting out of his skull.
In the dance place, Jill soon lost the two out of her eyes in the mass of people. It was so full inside of it that she could not move in some spots!
Cursing she tried to reach a higher spot, to look at the crowd below and to search from it for Chris blonde locks in the mass of black around her.
That was finally where Ten spotted the female and how he found out that Jill was in the same dance temple as he was in.
He saw her searching after something in the mass of humans below her slender form and soon spotting someone in the crowd she seem to have searched after. To Tens surprise it was Chris and Tetsu.
Fast he went over to the others and so, Ten finally reached them at the same time as Jill did it.
After a short time of ark ward silence all four leaved the much to filled place in order to find a less crowded one.
Ten asked himself if she did know what Tetsu was in real for seconds. He discarded the thought rather quickly when he heard him tell them all to go to another place as the one Chris had in mind first. Her soft question of why not this one, the grumpy Totetsu answered with, I was here before to Tens surprise, Jill did not argue with the animated beast and they all simply went for a silent part in the nearby park instead
When they passed the place Chris had wanted to go, there was an ambulance car and many police folk that gave no illusion to Ten of what the Totetsu had spoken of in his former comment. Jill shrugged it off after she heard one of the officers tell another that a criminal was found in the alley, dead and half eaten.
Ten grinned at her nonchalant shrug and followed them simply all the way to the park.
She ignored him all the time.
Did not even cast a glance in his direction or gave otherwise away that Ten existed. Chris and she talked happily the most of the time meanwhile the red head grinned at him all the time with an; No luck today, look. It unnerved the Kitsune immensely to see Tetsu give him that smug look. Suddenly the red haired Tao Tie nodded at him and took hold on Chris arm and brought him with him out of the place, not even hearing the blonde protesting at this act of him, just walking on in the direction of the shop.
Ten nodded back at Tetsu and did the same thing with Jill , only she protested much louder as Chris at the Kitsunes sudden move and ten took the opposite direction of Tetsu.
It had no use, the strength of the animated beast was two times more as hers, he easily dragged her away with him. The beast stopped first when he reached a deeper part of the nightly park with her in tow.
There he let go of her arm and turned away from her, facing the trees before him. His back to the fuming female behind him, he began to apologize for his behavior from the night before.
For a while there was nothing as the two beings breathing to hear, then she finally told him,
"Fine! I was not much friendlier also, so, sorry from me here too."
"Why have you been this angry at Ayoshi anyway? Ok, it was not nice from him to ask D like that, but some others did so before too and you seemed to be ok with them. Why where you this angry with his question?"
This was something that wondered him since he came back to his rooms the last night. That Jill had reacted this harsh when Ayoshi asked D if he could have her. Now after some thinking it made no sense to the white haired fox. All the time he knew the other Kitsune, never a female had turned Ayoshi down. Or snapped like Jill had done it at the black kit. Ten hated Ayoshi with vigor, but even he could not come around the pesky fact that the other kit looked handsome and had that kind of charms that could melt a frozen mountain!
They where rivals, all right, but Ten was the older one of them and the more powerfully Kitsune too. He knew, with time Ayoshi would gain his last tails and then both would surely have a real fight.
Until then, the black kit went out of everything that could anger Ten too much and tried to embarrass the silver kit all the time as much as he could without to foolishly challenging the nine tailed fox accidentally.
Ten was not a cruel soul, unlike the black Kitsune, he did not every time he was sold to a human kill them when they broke their contracts. The most of his contracts ended without to be broken from his human owners.
He never laid a hand on children, unlike Ayoshi who had killed some before too. Suddenly the unbidden memory of a little child with honey blonde curls and blue eyes like Jill's hairs and eyes filled his inner vision for some seconds.
Wide eyed the silver kit suddenly knew where he know the female in his back from!
When Jill's soft voice begun to fill the air Ten was just about to turn and to look at the woman again, more closely this time. What she told him about the entire event that finally lead straight to her family's demise and later to her cats dead, let the hairs on his back stand up.
No wonder that Ayoshi was fuming when he came back to the shop!
Squeezing his red eyes shut Ten finally realized it fully how the other had gained so much energy in the last years…her cat had been right, it was forbidden to the pets to allure their masters to break their contracts! Or to harm the ones who did hold them in!
A nasty grin began to spread over his features when he finally opened his fathom red eyes again.
Finally Ayoshi had made an fatal error, finally!
It gave a silent but never less existing rule for all the pets that lived in the shops of the D´s or in other Kami´s pet shops; never, ever, harm another pet!
More so not if said pet was trying to hinder the pet shop pet to break a rule or to guard their innocent human masters. It happened not much often that a pet defended their human master against the pets of the D´s, but if so, they where left in peace…like the female dog from that nasty girl in Japan, that had staid with her even after all what she did to her in the first place.
Simply as it sounded, it was forbidden to D´s pets to harm another without a point or out of rage.
Ayoshi had broken this rule.
He killed Jill's cat that only tried to defend the innocent girl, as old as she was. The woman did not know about their rules, she was still a human but Ten knew much to good what this meant for Ayoshi in the next hours. Would the cat girls in the shop still like the black kit's charms when they heard what he did to one of their elders? Ten highly doubted that!
When he had his features finally back under his control, and turned around to the female that sat on a nearby bench, all the Kitsune could think of was how he could bring Jill to it to tell this all D or Sofu D in the shop.
In his mind well remembering that his rival had wanted her when she was younger to probably raise her in the shop to make her later to his play toy or mate. It made a sense to Ten, she had grown into a rather beautiful and smart woman. No wonder that Ayoshi had wanted her…he did not wanted to know what else the other would have done if she had let him in her rooms when he was still her family pet. He knew of this tendencies of his rival and did not like this one bit!
It was one of Tens main reasons to hate the other Kitsune.
Kneeling next to her down, Ten finally began to talk her into coming back with him to the shop and to tell this all Sofu, who; he added, had no clue about this all either. Jill had never thought of it that the older Kami maybe did not know anything about Ayoshis behaves when he was sold to someone.
The silver Kitsune was currently as nice as he had been when she saw him the first time in Sofu´s shop that day.
Still in her nightmare memories of once, the crying woman did not even realize it that she wept. She let Ten simply lead her out of the park and then to the shop. There the fox lost no more time and woke the shop keeper up.
One hour later, Jill found herself back, tucked securely under a soft blanked in one of the inner rooms of the shop. Leon had brought her here under the watchful gaze of several occupants of the shop who had awoken from the following ruckus her story caused in the front rooms of the pet shop. Especially the cats in the shop had made it sure that she was fine and snuggled into the finest blankets of the shop.
After Ten had told him what she told him just a short while before, D practically stalked to the rooms his grandfather was in and vanished for several minutes inside of them. Then Sofu´s doors flung open and the Kami came out with his grandson in tow. All Sofu did was to gaze intently at the still softly crying Jill in Leons arms for some minutes, eyes glowing in the darkness of the shop. After some more minutes the eyes of the older Kami held a reddish tint inside of them before he sharply turned and leaved the front room in the direction of the Kitsune quarters.
Ten followed him silently after a short wink of Sofu at him and for some more minutes nothing else was to hear as the silence of the shop. An unnatural silence if you knew how many animals inhabitant the dark halls of it. Not a single one of them made a sound and all seem to hold their breaths. Sofu looked scary when he was mad! Not one of them wanted to face the wrath of the angered Kami by accident now.
Suddenly a ball of black fur crossed the stunned group and darted out of the shops doors in a matter of seconds only. Soon followed from another ball of fur in the color of silvery white that took snarling the same path!
Tetsu identified the two animals soon as Ayoshi and Ten in their natural animal forms and snorted at Sofu´s chose of punishment. Clear as the day that the Kami would chose the silver fox to carrier out the punishment this time. Ten had told D that he had warned Sofu on that day about Ayoshis tendencies after he spotted the little girl.
No wonder, knowing how much the nine tail hated the seven tail that Sofu would let Ten punish Ayoshi.
Jill only saw two blurs suddenly appear in the room, one silver and one black. The silver one had a red tinted snooze and the other did bleed in several spots. Soon after their sudden and fast departure out of the shop, Leon brought her in this room to get some rest.
The normally so calm and controlled woman snuggled into her covers in her childish fears and slowly drifted into a restless sleep.
Outside the shop, on the cost side of the boarders of Hong Kong, Ten watched his former rival fade out of live with impassionate eyes.
He had ripped the other fox into tiny pieces and then absorbed Ayoshis stuffed energy until nothing more as small amount was left in the other Kitsunes bloody body. It was his species way to eat, they absorbed others energies to survive.
Ayoshis soul would need several live spans to regain enough power again to be reborn in a halfway intelligent form!
The rather deep wound at his side healed in an inhuman fast rate until nothing more as a scratch was left. The seven tail had proofed to be a rather hard opponent for even him. The end was the same thought. In the very end, Ten was still much stronger as Ayoshi had it ever been and so killed the other slowly with his lethal hits and bites.
A rather cruel smirk graced his features when he finally had bent down to the dying black Kitsune and had told Ayoshi that he would take a good care of his former price for him. The howl of utter anger and hate that accompanied Ayoshis fading out of live made Ten smirk even more smugly. He had made certain that his rival knew what the nine tail had in mind for Jill before he died.
With Ayoshis dead, Ten was now the only Kitsune with more then five tails in the shop.
All the other where much younger as him. The next powerful one in the shop to him was now a female called Mitsuki. And this Kitsune female was much smarter as Ayoshi had it ever been. At least she did not constantly anger Ten.
He turned his back at the spot that bloodily marked Ayoshis dying place that would stay like this for a long while. The humans would never find a way to clean the place from the other Kitsunes blood. Their magical blood would color the formerly white stones for at least two centuries in a blood red. To mark Ayoshis dead here and warn every animal that saw it to not break the rules! If it wanted not to end like him.
His left hand turned sharply upwards and his red gaze watched a ball of energy form inside of it out of the air. A bright blue and red colored ball of pure soul energy, that brightly glowed in the nights darkness around his slender form for seconds and then vanished again in the palm of his hand.
His smile held no cruelness this time, only a softness you did not see much often on his features.
The energy that feed the ball from before marked a new power level for the silver Kitsune, and something more was with the ball itself too. It was made out of a part of Ayoshis former live force and energy. This strange energy ball could grand someone a real wish! It was what his kind mostly did, they used their energy to grand wishes and dreams and made them reality, like the Kirin could do that too.
Only, Kitsune could not grand such big wishes as the Kirin could do it, and only a certain amount of them for a certain time span.
Where the Kirin took the blood of the innocents that died as their price for their help, his species took live energy for their work. Or even the lives itself if they wanted it. The humans never learned it, they always came to them to get their impossible wishes fulfilled and never thought about their price twice.
Just as her family had done it.
To bed a being like him or Ayoshi came never without a price!
Between such encounters his species acted like an vampire and took the humans live energy from them. In repay, the humans got the time of their lives. Not such a bad exchange if you was wise enough to not want more after that.
Mostly this was exactly what the humans wanted then.
It gave one time every month where a human better staid away from Tens kin. The nights of the full moon.
In those nights his magical powers where on their highest levels and so the Kitsune mostly killed their partners in them when they where dumb enough to bed them then. Not that this really mattered a little bit now, this ball could grand Ten one wish for himself.
They normally could not grand themselves their own wishes.
Ten like all the other Kitsune had to lend on their human masters or their Kami caretakers to make them wish their wishes for them. From time to time when the Kami found they deserved it, they gave their Kitsune pets the opportunity to get one of their own wishes granted.
Even a nine tail as Ten could not grand his own desires with his powers.
Sofu had given him an unbeatable opportunity to make one wish he had reality. What ever it was, Ten now could wish for it with this energy ball in his hold. For now it was put away into the depths of his own soul where it would stay dormant until Ten called for it to make his wish.
The Kitsune ´s feet brought him slowly away from his fighting place and back to the shop. In the front rooms sat Sofu with his grandson and D´s mate Leon and sipped on their tee. They had awaited his return he realized fast and it was no wonder for Ten. He had nothing else thought that they would do. He sat down next to Sofu after a bow and told them what have happened then the fox changed into his natural form and went to his own rooms.
He wanted a bath!
Later in the same night or better said early morning hours, his feet brought him to the room in that Jill slept.
The fox entered without to make a sound the small room sat down next to the sleeping woman on the bed. In his mind Ten could still see her smile and hear her softly giggles when he first met the now grown woman. After a short while of watching Jill sleep, Ten plopped his body down on the bed right next to her body and curled up, nose in his tails. He was fast asleep, lulled to pleasant dreams from her strong scent.
End of chapter three.
