We arrived in front of the bar, Amsterdam at about ten in the evening. The snow was falling at a shower pace. I parked the Yukon about thirty feet away from the front door. The place was packing with people, but the doors were guarded by doormen.

I approached them with my crew behind me; the three men weren't really dressed well. Kursed walked around wearing a short skirt and a low-cut blouse with her fur coat. I smacked Ryan a couple times because I caught him staring at her sexually. Again, I told him 'to show the lady some respect.'

We arrived at the door, immediately stopped by the doormen, a Doberman and a ram. "You on the guest list?" "No. Perhaps though you know a friend of ours? He's very well-known. Franklin?" I said, pulling out a wad of hundred dollar bills.

The Doberman took the money and flipped through it. At the end, he looked up and nodded. "They're good. Let them in." The ram grabbed the velvet rope and lifted it off its hook, allowing us to pass.

We started to walk past them, but I felt that the ram was really eyeballing Kursed. I turned around and approached the ram, immediately standing taller to make himself look tougher. I didn't feel threatened, but something had to be done. "Don't. She's mine."

The ram looked at Kursed, then back at me without any change in his facial feature, but I know he felt saddened by the fact of what I just told him. "Shame." I smiled before I turned around to walk inside the club, seeing that my team already had entered.

We looked around, seeing that the place was lively with dancing, non-stop music, endless drinking, bright and flashing lights. Everything you needed to make a club successful. I scanned the area and saw a well-guarded area.

I turned to my right and nodded at Adrian, as returned the gesture. I turned to my left and did the same to Ryan and Kursed as they did the same thing. We made our way towards the guarded area; the room was protected by two more guards, a hyena and a deer.

"Hey. Is Cyrus home?" I said to the deer, as he placed his hand on his gun. "There's no Cyrus. Get lost." "Geez, take it easy…hey? What's that?" I said, pointing to my left, making sure they looked before I took off running towards the room. Like I predicted, they followed, allowing the other three to follow casually.

I entered the room and the place was full of about ten people, one of those being Cyrus Lector. I wanted to shoot him right then, but I held back as I entered looking friendly. "Hey! How's everyone doing? You Cyrus Lector?"

I heard a gun being cocked from being me, knowing that the guards caught up with me and were threatened to shoot me if I didn't cooperate. "Guess I got no business here. Just wondering if you wanted to earn a little money." "Wait."

I smiled, knowing that Cyrus was a greedy bastard that loved money. Whenever he had to chance to make some, he took that opportunity. I turned around to face him, as he got off his sofa and approached me. He stopped in front of me, but brought his eyes towards the door, as the other three walked in.

"Who are you? Get out." "Chill. They're with me." "I like your blue friend. She can stay as long as she wants." "Don't. She's mine." I said firmly to him, making sure he got the hint.

"Of course. Now, what kind of business we talking here?" He said, turning around to take his seat back on the couch, as two female bunnies went back to clinging back onto him. I took the seat across from him, acting very cool and calm.

"I hear that you are the guy that can get things. Very successfully at it too. Something I took in to account as I did my research." "Well, I appreciate you choosing me out of all the guys you researched. Now, what is it you want?" He said to me, sounding a little stern and annoyed.

I leaned forward in my chair, staring at him directly in the eyes. "Cars and weapons. Something I would I like to have as I can watch you take over Corneria." Cyrus leaned forward, surprised that I knew about the war he was trying to start.

"I am willing to pay six million dollars for the cars and three for the weapons. Here's the list." Cyrus took the list, looking at every item on there. "Looks like to me you know your weapons. The cars, a very good selection if I may say so myself."

(The list of cars:

1.) 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 'Hemi'

2.) 1967 Pontiac GTO

3.) 1969 Chevrolet Camaro 'Yenko'

15.) 2006 Saleen S7)

"So, let me get this straight. You are willing to pay me nine million dollars for this cars and this list of guns?" "I told them it wouldn't be enough." "Oh, this is more than what I was expecting. A list like this, would only cost about four."

"Sounds like it to me that we have a deal?" "What is your name?" "Krieger Aurelius. These are my associates, Kursed Turismo, Ryan Cooper and Adrian Wolf." "And where am I going to deliver this shipment?"

"I will set up a transport to have them get delivered to my ship, the Matchitehew." "Ah, so you own that ship that just arrived. I had my ship, the Allmachtiger do a scan on that ship. Very impressive my friend, but nowhere compared to my ship."

"Let's hope we never have to fight each other then." I said, jokingly, just trying to bring some humor to this room. "Join us for a drink. Tony. Dan. You can go back to your post." "Yes sir." The hyena and the deer said, as they turned around to walk towards the door.

A female, Himalayan cat approached me, asking me what I wanted to drink. I told her a beer, didn't matter what kind. I relaxed in my chair, but was surprised when someone came and sat on my lap. Kursed.

She wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheek, but she was just trying to build the image that we were dating. Cyrus felt for it then brought his attention to Ryan and Adrian, as they were being greeted by two more females, a spaniel and a lynx.

"Fay. Miyu. Keep those two company." Cyrus said to the two females, as they didn't listen because they were already attracted to the wolf and husky. "I'm Ryan." "I'm Fay." She said to him, being very flirty with him.

"I'm Adrian and I'm going to assume that you are Miyu?" "Good assumption." She said, tugging on him, making him seat in the closest chair, just so she could sit on his lap.

"So, how long have you two been together?" Cyrus asked me, as I looked at Kursed, trying to make the image more convincing by placing my hand on her ass. "Not long ago. Wasn't expecting it to happen, you know?" "I know this is to your benefit. Aren't you the clever one."

"I know what you mean, but things happen for a reason. Like me with trying to take over Corneria. I just feel that it must be done to make the galaxy a better place to live." "Indeed. Why are you?"

"Imagine a world with no rules, government, you ARE your own boss. You can do whatever you want. I dream that. I pretty much own Detroit, but I want more." "People need rules. Mass chaos will emerge if things aren't kept under control." "So be it."

I turned my head to look at Kursed, as I could feel her fear with this guy. She had changed a lot since I first met her. She was all tough and what-not, but now I could feel her true self. Reminded me a lot like Krystal, but at least she could take care of herself.

I turned my head as the waitress brought me my beer, then asked Kursed what she wanted. "Cranberry Martini." "Whoa. Aren't you the feisty one?" "Ryan! Not now!" I yelled at him, putting a dampener on his evening. "Bastard."

"Why do you listen to him?" "I'm afraid of him. You don't want to know him when he's angry. It's like dealing with the Grim Reaper." I smiled when I heard him say that, but then brought my attention towards Cyrus. "When do you think you'll have my shit?"

"A few days. You think you'll have my money by then?" "Have any doubts that I won't?" "I wouldn't think so, my friend." "Then I'll have it then." "Excellent." "Just make sure you are on time for the transaction. I'm never happy when people are late. " I said, as I took a sip of my drink, as Kursed accepted her drink. "I'll make sure I'm there. Don't worry."

"I'll be able to keep the Viper, right honey?" "Absolutely." I said to her, as I leaned in to give her a kiss on her lips, but at that moment, both of us weren't expecting this. It looked like a simple kiss, but to us, sparks flew.

Our lips separated as we just stared at each other, much different than how we used to look at each other. I turned my head and I saw Ryan and Adrian staring at us. "What? Haven't you guys seen a guy and a girl kiss before?"

The two turned their heads back towards their women, but I knew they were going to say something to me at the end. I turned my head towards Kursed, as she continued to stare at me, feeling like all her weight was just lifted off of her. She looked like she felt free.

I brought her close to me, allowing her to rest her head on my shoulder. "Why do you wear those sunglasses? What are you hiding?" "An injury that I must suffer with. It's better than not seeing though." "What is it? An implant, like Wolf O-Donnell?" "Exactly." I said to him, pulling off my glasses.

I could see him bring his focus on the metal implant that sat in my socket. He could see the light grow and shrink as I changed the zoom and focus on it. He was hypnotized by the green light, but one day. He would have to deal with the red.

"Does it hurt?" "Nope. Not at all."

After spending a few hours at the bar, we found ourselves driving home for the night. Ryan was hanging over mine and Kursed's shoulder, acting like a total shadow to us. "If you don't stop staring at us like this, I'll punch you in the face."

Ryan immediately sat back into his seat normally, but still couldn't believe what he saw. "Hey Kursed? How did he kiss?" "Cooper!" I yelled out his last name, threatening to turn around in my seat and punch him. "Alright. Alright. Geez."

I sighed angrily at him, as I continued to drive. It was like this the whole time until we finally got to the front door. I walked inside, having everyone behind follow. "Hey Krieger. How the hell are we suppose to come up with nine million dollars in three days?"

"We'll find a way. We need to find out everything on this group. Because I doubt once we kill Cyrus, everything won't stop then and there. I'm sure there's a chain of command, saying once this person dies, you lead. Our best bet is to keep Cyrus alive and take down his resources, before finally killing him. 'Cause I bet if there's nothing left to attack with, the group will eventually die out."

"Well, let's hope you are right. I'm going to bed. Good work tonight, Aurelius." "You too, Wolf." I said to him, as I shook his hand, followed by Cooper. I watched them walk upstairs, disappearing into their rooms.

Leaving me alone with Kursed. "Look. I know we both felt something tonight in the club, but you got to remember that it was for public image only. Nothing more." "Alright. I guess." Kursed said, as she looked sad and started to walk upstairs.

She stopped about halfway up, looking down the steps, still seeing me standing there. She smiled though, when she looked at me. "You coming or not?" I sighed as I looked down at the ground, making my way up the stairs. "I suppose."

I began to walk up the stairs, looking at each step, but came across something that made me concentrate on that more than anything. Her hand as she reached out so I could grasp onto it. I sighed for a moment, but nervously grabbed her hand.

She smiled when I did, as she continued to walk up the stairs, while I was now looking back at each step that came across my line of sight. I was walking at a slower pace than her, but I did my best to keep up with her.

She made it to the top of the stairs, with me doing the same a couple seconds later. She began to walk down the hall, with her hand still attached to mine. I hesitantly followed, but I didn't move fast enough as she tugged on my hand.

She looked back towards me, wondering why I wasn't moving fast enough. "You okay?" "Y-yeah. I thought I saw something." I said, while I started walking again, but I could tell she knew I was lying. I could feel her confusion.

We entered our bedroom, she immediately walked over to the bed, waiting for me to take a seat next to her. I watched her sit down, stretching out her skirt as she crossed her right leg over the left. The sight made me fluster.

I snapped back to reality when I saw her pat the spot next to her, signaling me to sit down. I did, but I could really feel a nauseas feeling in my stomach. I looked at her, as she held my right hand.

She leaned in to kiss me, I accepted, but I almost immediately pulled away when our lips made contact. I turned my head the other way, looking in the opposite direction of her, as she just stared at me, but felt stupid. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have…"

"No. It's not you, Kursed." I said, raising my right hand to my eyes, covering them as I felt so weird. I haven't felt this way since Krystal, and right now. This feeling is biting me in the ass. "Then…" She said, scooting a little closer to me, trying to look at my eyes. "What is it?"

"I haven't had a moment like this with a women in years. I….I'm…..fucking nervous." "Krieger….." She said, trying to turn me. I slowly turned around, looking into her eyes. "I don't want you to do anything that you aren't ready for."

I stood up, beginning to pace in front of her. "That's the thing. I want to be ready now, but the last woman I was with left me…or it was me who caused her to leave." Kursed got up from her seat, standing in front of me, forcing me to look into her eyes.

"Which one is it?" I lowered my head in shame, I knew the answer. "I made her leave." I started to cry, as a lone tear began to fall down my face. Which made Kursed wipe the tear away from my eye, which caused me to look at her.

She smiled, then started to rub my cheek. "I don't plan on leaving you. And I simply don't want to hurt you either. We may have had a rough beginning, but look where it brought us. It brought us together, I mean did you think you were going to be here right now, talking to me about this?"

I shook my head, continuing to look at her. "I know you felt the connection between us too, didn't you?" "Yes. It's just….I'll never forgive myself if anything ever bad happens to you. If something did, I'll end up like how I was when we first met." "Are you willing to take that chance?"

Again, I lowered my head, but this time I was starting to think. I took a chance with Krystal and I blew it, but it was for her safety. I have another woman I could love, but I don't want her to leave. I know I could protect her. I have become a better fighter since I became Krieger.

I raised my head again, looking into her eyes. I could see the glisten from the overheard lights shining into her cerulean eyes. I raised my hand, placing it on the back of her neck, rubbing the bottom of her ear with my thumb. Some of her purple hair came between my fingers, it felt so soft.

I slowly leaned forward, closing my eyes as I knew she preparing for the kiss. Our lips with centimeters apart, I hesitated the last moment, before finally I pressed my lips against hers.

I lowered my hand so I wrapped around her shoulders, bringing her closer to me as she did the same to me. We opened out mouths as our tongues began to explore each others. I could feel her blue fur against mine, also it felt as soft as her hair.

The moment, what I thought was a moment, lasted for close to a minute. Our lips parted from each other, opening our eyes as we looked into each others. She smiled, as she was breathless from the wonderful kiss she had just received. I chuckled.

"Wow. I forgot how good that felt." "See. Aren't you happy now?" "No." I said, smiling as I fell towards the bed, bringing her along with me. I fell on my back, allowing her to fall on top of me. I held her by each side of her waist, as she rested her hands on my chest.

I smiled at her, but soon grew angry. "Son of a bitch." I said, turning my head to my right, looking at the doorway, which stood Ryan. "Alright! This is great! I know you are going to much happier now!" He yelled, causing Adrian to look inside the room a minute later, tired from being disturbed from his sleep. Which only lasted about two minutes

"I'm going to kill you!" I yelled angrily, pushing Kursed off of me as I jumped to my feet, running after Ryan, as he took off running in the direction towards the stairs, his main focus was to reach outside.

Adrian backed up towards the wall, giving me more room to run after Ryan. Once I had passed, he walked into the bedroom. Seeing Kursed smiling and laughing. "I take it you two were having a nice moment and Ryan walked in and ruined everything. Now, Aurelius is after him." "Basically."

Adrian looked to his right, seeing if anyone was next to him, but I was long gone, chasing Ryan, who I caught, as we made it outside. I grabbed him by her collar and threw him to the ground.

I woke up the next morning, but I was holding on to something. I allowed my eyes to adjust and refocus, before I realized that it was Kursed I was holding on to. She was still asleep and she was dreaming.

I decided to probe her mind, just to see what she was dreaming. It looked very familiar to me. Very familiar. She was having a conversation with….Panther Caruso. Then the dream jumped to when he shot and burned me. She had watched from the distance, but she was trying to reach him on time to stop him.

Though, I know why she was dreaming of this. Only one other person could've known about this. I grew very pissed, as I reached around, grabbing my dagger off the nightstand, holding it close to her neck.

She abruptly woke up, feeling the cold steel against her skin and fur. She winced in fear when she saw that it was me. "Krieger? What are you doing?" "What am I doing? You think you could play me…..Krystal?"

She gasped when she heard her real name being spoken, how did I know who she was? "Go ahead. I know you want to probe my mind. You'll be surprised when you find out."

I could feel her telepathy enter my mind, as I lowered my mental barrier. She covered her mouth with her hand. I could see tears rolling down her fur, as she tried to look at me. "Fox?"

I smiled at the corner of my mouth. "Think you could have Panther kill me, didn't you?" "No. You don't understand. I just wanted to be with you, but when you told me to leave. I felt hurt. I never wanted your incident to happen. I still care about you."

"It happened, now Fox is dead and Krieger is born. Everything about you was a lie. How do I know last night wasn't a way to mess with my head?" I said to her, pulling back on the dagger a little bit, just enough to let her breath better. "What about you?

"What?" "Your best friend never knew who you really were. He never knew you were Fox McCloud." "You don't understand. After I was betrayed by you and Falco…" Falco?" She interrupted me, wondering what Falco did to me.

"He left the team…again and took the Great Fox from me. Then Panther almost killed me, only thinking it was you that sent him. If only you were there. I would've loved to kill you too." "I was."

I turned my head a little, looking at her more closely. "Where were you?" "I was inside the restaurant we were all at. Only I was eating by myself. Away from Panther. I saw you approach him, slicing his neck with the very same dagger you hold against me now."

"Shame I didn't know you were there. You realize the pain and suffering you put me through. All I wanted from you is to understand that I wanted you safe. Is that so much to ask?" She lowered her closer to her chest, feeling the guilt from my words I told her.

"No." "No. I didn't think so." "I still do love you." "Yeah I bet." "Remember what you said last night? You said, 'you made me leave.' You feel guilty. Like I feel guilty leaving you in the first place. I want you back….and from what your mind is telling me. You want me back."

"I don't know if I can trust you, Krystal." "You trusted Kursed. Why am I so different? You loved both of us, didn't you?" She said to me, sounding very firm with me. "Yes." "Then, you willing to start over again?"

I looked at her, still having the blade in close range of her neck, I could still feel the uneasiness from her, just for that reason. I pulled it away, allowing her to relax. "Remember what I said before? 'You betray me and you'll be the first I kill?"

"Yes?" "You'll still be the first, because I never killed Falco and I never like Panther so that was a bonus." A heard footsteps approaching the room as I quickly hid the dagger underneath the covers.

"Hey! Good morning! Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes. Start getting dress, lovebirds." "Don't make me kick your ass again, Ryan." Without hesitation, he took off running down the hall. I lowered my head to stare at Krystal.

She leaned forward to plant a quick kiss on my lips. "I do love you, Fox." I sighed at her, more of a growl than I sigh. "I always loved you, Krystal. Just make sure you make the right fucking decision this time. As for Cooper and Wolf, we are still Krieger and Kursed. Got it?" A dark voice erupted from my mouth, causing her to flinch in fear. "Yes." "Good." I said, kicking the covers off of me, and swinging my legs from off the bed and onto the cold wood floor.

I began to scratch my white fur, getting the morning itching out of me. I walked over to the bathroom, while putting on a pair of pants. I walked over to the sink, splashing cold water into my face, causing me to wake up a little faster than usual.

I could hear footsteps behind me, as I looked into the mirror, seeing Krystal standing right behind me. "What do you want?" "You aren't the only one that needs to use the bathroom. I don't know about you, but I like to piss in private."

I growled at her, as I turned around and walked out of the bathroom, leaving myself alone in the bedroom. I heard the door close behind me, but something was different. I could feel a new presence in the house.

I heard laughter, a couple of female voices and I started to probe those minds. It was those chicks that Adrian and Ryan picked up last night, Fay and Miyu. I gave my white fur one last scratch before I started to walk towards the stairs.

When I made it to the first floor, I looked in the kitchen and I saw everyone standing there, having a pleasant conversation. Ryan saw me coming and decided again to be a smart-ass. "Hey! Where's your woman?"

I entered the kitchen, standing next to the counter, which had a fruit bowl on it. I grabbed an apple and chucked it at him, hitting him directly in the head, knocking him backwards.

He fell on the floor, immediately being scooped up by Fay, as he laid there feeling dizzy and had a headache. "What the fuck was that for?" Fay yelled at me, sounding very angry with me.

I slowly walked towards them, Ryan got up from his spot on the floor and backed up from me. "Will you shut…the fuck up about me and Kursed already? Or you'll receive worse next time." "Alright. Jesus." Ryan said, rubbing his forehead, which absorbed the blow from the apple.

"Why the hell you working with such an ass?" I slowly shifted my eyes towards Fay, the similar look like you were staring at the Grim Reaper. I could feel her fear rise a little, but she tried to remain tough. "Don't act tough. I sense your fear in me." I said to her, turning around to grab a cup of coffee, which Adrian was holding up for me.

She looked at Ryan, who was still rubbing his head. "He's a telepath, Fay. You'll get used to it." Adrian said, taking a sip of his coffee, while holding Miyu's hand. "Wolf. I like your woman better." I said to him, turning around to stare at him.

"Thanks…I think." She said, as she gave a childish smile at me. "You could've put a shirt on, ya know? Have you no respect for the ladies?" Ryan said, already backing away from me as I started to walk towards him.

"Will you ever shut up?" "You have to excuse him. He gets upset when he doesn't sleep well at night." Krystal said, while she was walking into the kitchen, wearing only nothing, but shorts and a tank top.

I growled at her, giving her a mean look, as she ignored it, but tried to keep the image going. She approached me and leaned in for a kiss on the lips. "I think we need a new mattress." "The mattress is fine. It's something else that's bothering me."

"And what's that?" She said, smiling and acting like I wasn't mad at her. "That husky over there." "Oh come on! I'm not that bad." "Want another apple thrown at you?" "Alright. I'll shut up." "Good boy." I said, as he shut up for the first time. "This never gets old." Adrian said, smiling as he enjoyed watching this.

"You know. I have to ask you this. What happened to you?" Miyu asked, as she finally asked the question of what happened to my body. "I got shot eleven times and burned. This is the aftermath of my recov…." I said, before I coughed up blood for the one and only time of the day.

The pain was more severe this morning, as I collapsed to the floor, falling to my knees. Krystal came to my side, holding me as I continued to cough up the blood that was exiting my mouth. "Stop acting like you care." "I do care, you asshole." We said to each other, telepathically. I was slightly stunned she called me an asshole.

"I'm good." I said, spitting out the rest of the blood as I stood up straight now. "What the fuck was that?" Fay asked, shocked at what she had just saw. "Part two of the recovery process."

"You know, it's strange. You had a similar incident like Fox McCloud had, he was shot and burned by Panther Caruso. We heard he killed him because of it." "There's one difference between our incidents." "What's that?" Miyu asked, as she cocked her head to the right slightly. "He's dead. I'm not." Krystal looked at me, looking a little sad by what I just said. I looked at her, but I was smiling, proud that I just said that out loud. It felt kind of good for some reason. "Yeah. That is a major difference." Miyu said, as she leaned back into her chair.

I turned my head towards the window, seeing that it was slightly snowing outside. "Son of a bitch. How often does it snow in this city?" "Very often." Fay said, as she took a sip of her coffee.

I placed my mug on the counter next to me, before I started to walk out of the room. With Krystal following me in close range. "What?" I said to her, not looking around as I made my way upstairs. "We need to talk."

"I'm not going to talk to you." I could feel my body straighten itself out completely, as I felt something against my back. Krystal…had pulled a knife on me. I turned around to look at her, but a smile came across my face.

"I never knew you had it in you." "I do, so fucking talk to me." "With this kind of motivation, I can't refuse." I continued my way to the room, with her still following me with the knife in her hand.

I closed the door behind her, as we entered the bedroom. I still had the smile on my face, as I turned around to look at her. "So. What do you want to talk about?"

"Okay. I can understand that you are extremely pissed at me, but you got to stop being the selfish fuck you are and grow up." "I'm….the selfish fuck? Who the fuck left in the first place?" "Who the fuck grew up?"

"Who the fuck says 'fuck' in every fucking sentence?" "Apparently we fucking do. There any fucking problems with that?" "Of course not. We're fucking grown up." "Wrong. I fucking grew up. You walk around being a fucking, big, bad tough guy with fucking issues."

I grew very angry with her, as I walked over to her, threatening to choke her. "Okay. Here we go." She said, as she was embraced with my hand around her neck. Though, the choking didn't last long when I felt a pull on my ears. For a fox, that's very painful.

I tried to toughen out the pain, but my ears were too sensitive. I released her and held my ears, rubbing them trying to get the pain to go away.

"I know how to defend myself. Even it's a dirty, childish way." "You whore." I yelled at her, but I received a new sense of pain across my face. She fucking slapped the shit out of me, sending me to the floor.

I looked up at her, but she kneeled over me, with her knife in my throat. "Feels good, doesn't it?" I growled at her, trying not to move, the blade would slice the skin if I did.

"I've become a new person, Fox. I'm stronger than when you first met me and my telepathy has gotten a shit load better. And I've grown up. Maybe you should start too, then we can end this feud because I love you too much to be fighting with you like this."

I stared at her, my eyes locked onto hers. I was listening to everything she was saying, and I couldn't believe she was talking to me like this. It really wasn't the Krystal I first met. It was a whole new vixen. It turned me on, actually.

"Jesus. We go from fighting to now your getting turned on by the new me? When was the last time you were with a woman?" She said, pushing herself off of me. Disgusted that she read the part about this being a turn on. "Too long. I can't remember the sensation of any romantic gesture anymore." "Really?"

She kneeled on top of me again and leaned forward, beginning to kiss me on my neck. I could feel the chills passing through my spine as I enjoyed the pleasure I was feeling from her.

She kissed the general area of the right side of my neck for about thirty seconds, before finally pulling her head away. "Enjoy?" "I don't know? I think I need another example." "Really?" She said, looking down at her chest. "Maybe this will help."

She grabbed the bottom of her shirt and lifted it over her head. Still on top of me, I had the prefect view to stare at her breasts. She then leaned forward, laying on my chest, her breasts pressed against my ribs.

I couldn't help, but wrap her around me, bringing her even more closer to me. I stared at her cerulean eyes, but then something changed. My tail had wrapped with hers. Soon, the white and blue tails started to play with each other, like they were playing tag.

I looked back into her eyes, feeling the anger leaving me. "I'm glad I can feel your old self again. I missed you." I sighed at her, but I started to rub her hair as it wanted to cover her eyes. "I missed you too."

She leaned in, pressing her lips against mine, I opened my mouth before her as our tongues explored each others, most of the time, it found the other's tongue.

The world seemed like it healed itself, but something ended this romantic moment. I started to cough, ending the kiss right there. I covered my mouth, as I continued to cough, but when I pulled my hand away. Both of us started to worry.

Blood stained the white fur on my hand. I looked back at her, she was scared, as well as I. "I thought it was suppose to happen only once I day?" "It does. So, something is new. Change is good. Fuck it."

"Fuck it? You lazy bastard. What if this is serious?" "Then I'll die for real then." "Fox…" She said to me, I could see tears starting to build up. What I just said to her hurt her dearly. "I don't want to lose you again. I won't be able to go on without you. I thought I could once, but you never left my heart. My life wasn't the same without you."

A tear fell on my face, I wiped hers first before I wiped the one on my face away. "Krystal. I'm not going to die. I'm not going to lose you. I already made that mistake and fuck if I'm going to allow a second time to happen."

"I hope. I really love you, Foxie." I heard what she said and I hadn't heard that nickname in years. It put a smile on my face, as I leaned in closer to kiss her on her lips. When I pulled away, I rubbed her cheek with my thumb, feeling the soft, blue fur. "I love you too…Krys."

I pulled her in and gave her a reassuring hug. I could tell that she missed me a lot. I missed her too. Knowing that we were together again, made us both happy, but we still had a mission to do. And I have to find a way to come up with eleven million dollars in three days.

It was going to be tough, but I think I have a couple people that would be willing to help me. I still have to keep the name Krieger just because it would spread far knowing that Fox was still alive. So far, that's just mine and Krystal's secret.

I got up from the floor, staring down the blue vixen, who still had a couple tears in her eyes. I pulled her up and wiped them away. She put on a smile, but I knew she still found it weird to look at me, in white fur.

"I don't know, Krys. I kinda like it." "Just promise you'll wash it off when this is over." "Hmm. I'll think about it." I said, as I started to walk away from her, walking over to my duffle bag to put on a clean shirt. I had chosen a white long-sleeve shirt, almost matching perfectly with my fur. I then put on my camouflage pants, winter style. It looked like I was ready for a winter battle.

"General Hare? This is Krieger Aurelius. My team and I are in need of your help." "What can I do for you, Mr. Aurelius?" "We need nine million dollars in three days." I heard a choking sound on the other end, figuring Peppy lost his breath when he heard.

"You shitting me? Why?" "We made a deal with him. Part of the mission." "Your mission to find out what he wants to do, then kill him." "That's what we are doing, sir. Though, we are trying to get close so he can tell us his plans."

"Have you got anything that can be valuable to us right now?" "He has a battleship, bigger than the Matchitehew, called the Allmachtiger. I haven't done any scans on it, but it looks like it means business. This fuck has money, but is very greedy so if we give him the money. It'll look like we'll be on his A-list."

"Still nothing that is impressing me." "Look. You want this guy done for, right?" "We all do." "Then let us do our job, and get us nine million dollars so we can finish what we just began."

Peppy thought for a moment, no one has ever been this demanding to him except Fox. It brought a smile to his face. "Okay. We will send the money over right away. Don't make us regret this." "I won't, sir." I said, before hanging up the phone.

Everyone was staring at me, hoping that we will get the money. I tossed the phone on the table, sighing angrily as I tried to make everything think we weren't getting the money.

I smiled as I got out of my chair. "We're getting the money. Wasn't too pleased about us needing that much though." "Who wouldn't? That's a shit load." Ryan said, as he took a sip of his beer.

"When are we getting it?" Adrian said, as he leaned back into his chair, waiting for the answer. "I don't know." "You asked for money and you don't know when we are getting the money?" "Nope." "Idiot." "Go fuck yourself."

I walked out of the kitchen, heading for the front door, unknowingly that Ryan was right behind me. As I stepped outside, hearing the crunching of snow underneath every step I took, I heard a second set right behind me. I turned around and I saw the husky. Then continued walking.

"What do you want?" "You think we can do what it is we are trying to do?" I stopped my walking and turned my head to stare at the husky, thinking for a moment. "We got no choice, this needs to get done."

Ryan turned his head towards the direction of an oncoming car, driving rather slowly in the heavy snow. "I just don't want to die. That's all I can say." "Like I said before. You stay focus and listen to me, you might survive. That rule has been very successful with myself."

"It be kinda weird if you didn't listen to yourself." "You'd be surprise." I said, walking away from the husky, as I put on a pair of sunglasses over my eyes. The husky watched me walk away, before heading back into the house.

As he walked up the steps, Krystal and Adrian were standing at the front door, watching me walk away. "Where is he going?" "I don't know." "You don't know either? Why doesn't anyone ever ask these kinds of questions?" "I'll find out." Krystal said, as she put on her coat and ran to catch up with me.

I continued to walk down the sidewalk, away from the home, focusing on my thoughts. My mind was troubled, finding Krystal, the mission was taking an interesting turn. It made me wonder.

"Fox?" I thought I heard my name being called, but I wasn't sure. It could've just been me thinking my name, but it sounded like a woman's voice. "Fox!" I finally snapped back into reality, this time, knowing it wasn't me, but someone from behind.

I turned around, to see the familiar blue vixen running to catch up with me. "What?" "Where are you going?" "I don't know. I needed to get out of the house and think." "You okay?" "Again. I don't know."

I began to walk in the direction I was before, with someone now walking parallel with me. "You're having doubts about the mission?" "This is just new to me. I don't know." "Relax. Everything will work out." "It better. Otherwise we are going to have a lot of explaining to do."

The snow fall now became a blizzard, making things hard to see out the windshield. Plus driving around in a rear-wheel drive car with a strong engine made things a bit more fun. (Never drove in that kind of car, or in these conditions so I can't tell you how fun it is. Sounds fun though, doesn't it?)

Adrian was accompanying me as we were off to a bar, just to clear our minds. Something wasn't feeling right though. Something was feeling out of place. I mean I looked around and everything seemed fine, but there was something my telepathy was picking up that wasn't normal.

"You alright?" "Don't know. You?" "Good as to be expected I suppose." The wolf said, looking out the sideview mirror, seeing a pair of headlights behind us. "So, where is this bar we are going to?"

"About five minutes away. Nice place too. Mainly because it's not run by Lector. Just a normal bar." "As long as I get some vodka, I'm good."

I gave a slight chuckle, but still was unsure of the situation. Something still felt out of place and I turned my head towards Adrian, trying to read his mind. It was at peace. I turned my head towards the front of the car, calming down thinking it wasn't him, though something caught my attention.

As I was turning my head, I saw something no one ever wanted to see. A red dot, moving in my direction. Took a moment to allow the threatening feeling sink in me, that dot was a laser sight from a weapon. "Duck!"

I ducked as low as I can, just in time because as soon as my head disappeared from behind the seat, a stray bullet passed through the rear window and out the windshield, sending a few shards of glass on top of me.

"What the fuck was that?" "Someone is shooting at us! The car behind us. Hang on!" I said, as I raised myself so I was now sitting straight. I turned the wheel violently to the left, immediately feeling no response in the steering.

I pulled the E-brake, allowing the rear-end to break loose, helping me with the turn. As the car made the wide, drift turn left, the car behind us tried to do the same, but the car looked a lot bigger so it had a more difficult time trying to negotiate the turn.

I released the E-brake and stomped on the accelerator pedal, spinning the tires faster than they were a moment ago. I counter steered so now the front tires were turning towards the right, trying to straighten out the car.

I looked in the mirror and saw the larger vehicle barely able to make the turn, but did it much safer than we would. Though the front tires weren't catching grip very well and slid right into the side of a parked car. Though it hit it at a low angle, maybe ten, fifteen degrees so it helped with the turn, without slowing it down.

All four tires of the Monte Carlo were now parallel with each other, as I did my best to drive away from these bastards, but they continued shooting at us again. "Damnit, Adrian! Fire that fucking cannon of yours at them!" "Alright!"

Adrian leaned out the window, aiming his Glock 9mm at the approaching car. He fired once towards the windshield, but the uneasy driving I was doing made his aiming a little off, he shot one of the headlights.

"Hang on!" I said, slamming on the brakes, also while shifting into reverse. The front tires immediately stopped spinning, while the rear started spinning in the opposite direction, shooting snow at Adrian.

This action caused the Chevy to start slowing down significantly, but the rear end started to kick out from underneath me. I tried to counter steer, but over corrected. The car first was drifting right, but now was drifting left, just as the pursuing car was passing us.

Our front ends collided, pushing the front of the car back towards the right. I tried to straighten us out as I looked to see that the pursuing car was an old Lincoln Continental. A 1964 to be exact.

I shifted back into drive and floored the accelerator pedal, spinning the tires dramatically. "Shoot, you fucker!" I said, yelling at Adrian, who aimed his 9mm very carefully.

He fired, once, twice, three times. The fourth shot made contact with the driver of the Lincoln, hitting him in the left shoulder. He yelled in pain, as blood started flowing out of his skin and down his clothes and fur.

From my point of view, he was having a hard time keeping his car steady. I pulled out my revolver, aiming carefully at his right rear tire. I turned on the laser sight, enhancing the view of my optical implant.

From what I could see, the green dot was pointing steadily at the spinning tire. "Take the shot, boss." Adrian said, continuing to fire at the speeding car. I squeezed the metal trigger, allowing the plasma round to escape the barrel.

Took only a second before the heat disintegrated the rubber tire, the car immediately started to spin sideways. With very little reaction time, not that braking would do any good.

I pulled Adrian back into the car, while stepping on the gas, allowing the car to speed up. I braced myself, as the front of the Monte Carlo t-boned the crippled Lincoln. The impact was hard enough to lift the rear wheels of the Lincoln off the ground, sending it to the left.

As the rear landed back into the snow, it immediately started spinning out of control, until the crashed into a parked car, flipping onto its lid. No sparks flew as the car slid through the snow on its roof, until finally coming to a stop.

I slammed on the brakes, seeing the car behind us. The tires slid to a stop, as I shifted into park. "Son of a bitch. I'm glad this ain't my car." I said, as I opened the door, embracing my fur for the harsh winter blizzard.

I started to walk towards the totaled Lincoln, having Adrian walk parallel with me. We could hear the slight rumbling of both engines through the blowing wind and the crunching of snow under our feet.

I lifted my pistol towards me, switching the setting from Plasma to bullet rounds. We stopped a couple feet away from the car, seeing the passenger trying to escape the vehicle. I left him for Adrian as I walked around the car, seeing the condition of the driver.

As I stood next to the driver door, I kneeled, looking through the broken glass, seeing the driver had died. "Hold it! Don't kill him yet!" I yelled to Adrian, as he was just about to pull the trigger on his pistol.

He lowered his weapon, just as I walked around the front of the car, kneeling next to the passenger, a komodo dragon. "Who sent you?" "No one sent us. This was at our free will." "Who do you work for?" "Cyrus Lector."

I turned my head towards Adrian, who had done the same. I turned my head back towards the injured komodo, who was struggling to breath. "Does he know you guys are here?" "Yes."

"Shit. We're fucking screwed." "Adrian, relax." I said to him, as I slowly looked back towards the injured passenger. "He's lying." "I am not." "I'm telepathic, my friend. No one knows you're here. You're all alone." "Wait…..don't…." I raised my revolver, as Adrian raised his 9mm, squeezing the triggers.

Numerous rounds canceled all other noises for a moment, before all we could hear was the wind and the running engines. "I thought your gun was plasma rounded?" "Has options." "Sweet." The wolf said, smiling, as he walked away from the Lincoln, leaving me there for a moment.

I took one final look at the dead komodo, blood oozing out of this head, turning the white snow red, reading his final thoughts. "Oh shit." I said quietly, stunned to find out what he knew. He was standing right there when he heard my name be called….Fox.

I read his thoughts a little bit more, but the only other person he told was the dead driver. I sighed with relief, knowing that my secret was still a secret. I walked away from the scene, hoping I can get out of here.

I approached the damaged Chevy, seeing the front end was all fucked up. Though, it was still running. "Come on. Let's get out of here." I said, as I took a seat inside the heated vehicle, putting on my seatbelt.

I shifted into drive and accelerated out of there. The tires spun as they tried to catch grip through the slick snow, but having a hard time, but I still managed to get out of there, before anyone saw anything.

Krystal and Ryan were outside the house, trying to have a little fun while we were gone. Their idea of fun however, was just to sit in lawn chairs with a couple drinks. Though, all Krystal was drinking was hot chocolate. Ryan, was drinking his favorite, Jager.

They looked up when they heard a car approaching, only to stand up when they saw the Chevy. I slid to a stop in front of the house, a few feet behind the Yukon, before I finally shutoff the ignition and got out of the car.

"What the fuck happened?" The husky yelled, as he approached us. "Some assholes chased us, but in the end. We kicked their asses." Adrian said, sounding very proud of himself. "What the fuck for?" "I don't know. They worked for Cyrus so maybe they had some personal vendetta at us."

"You guys okay?" "No! I never got my vodka." Adrian said, shaking his head. He was very pissed off that he didn't get his vodka. "Come on, man. I got us some booze. I'll call up Fay and Miyu and all will be good." "Alright."

The two male dogs walked towards the house, until the wolf came to a stop. "Hey Krieger?" I looked up at him, seeing him nodding. "Nice driving." "Nice shooting." He gave me one final nod before turning around, entering the house two seconds later.

"Krystal. We got to talk." "What the fuck did I do now?" "Those two guys I killed, knew who I was." "So they know you're Krieger. Big deal?" "No. They knew I was Fox."

"What? Does anyone else know?" "The dead driver. They were too stupid to tell anyone." "You sure about this?" "Pretty sure. I only can get so much in a short amount of time." "Then all I can say is that I'm glad you're okay." "It was fun." I said to her, as I walked past her towards the house.

She quickly followed suit as now I had to bring back my focus on the mission. I had less than three days before I had to make the transaction. Hopefully I get the money soon. We'll see.
