Kirin just held onto his Soul Edge tightly to his chest, the pain he felt in his chest has become so unbearable that everything meant nothing to him now, he was filled with sadness and hate to the brink of his mind, he hated his father over the brink of his mind, just enough courage left inside his broken self to smack him right in the mouth, He still remembered what he said to his father, what he had said to the great Fox Mccloud…he felt proud of himself, the pride that had been blessed upon him by the demon tattoo.

-Bedroom-

Fox sighed slowly as he looked up at the ceiling of his bedrom, lying next to Krystal just didn't make him active, this made Krystal worry as well, every night was an active night to them, they would cuddle with each other, Fox would listen to her giggles while Krystal nibbled on his ear, but oddly it wasn't happening this night.

"Fox, what's wrong?" Krystal softly asked as she leaned over and planted herself on his side, looking at his sad filled eyes.

"Is it THAT obvious?" Fox asked the blue vixen quizzingly, looking her straight in the eyes with those same saddend eyes of his.

"Well, kind of…yes it is." Krystal answered as she snuggled closer, worried for what was troubling him to have such eyes.

"Kirin…" Fox began slowly, slightly choking on his breath as he tried to explain.

"Yes?" Krystal asked, continually edging Fox to tell her.

"He…" Fox continued on slowly, it was becoming hard for him to speak, like his throat was tightening within itself.

"Yes?" Krystal asked again, sounding a little impatient as she began nudging him with her elbow.

"Said…" Fox almost finished, slightly choaking on his voice.

"What?" Krystal asked, now impatient with her husband.

"Fuck you to my face, he just screamed in front of my face." Fox sighed, he felt so full of sadness upon his pride and joy.

Krystal rolled over to Fox's side of the bed and started to bite his ear, trying to catch his attention and comfort him, knowing the right moves and the right things would slowly bring Fox to his senses and onto her favor.

"Krystal…not now." Fox sighed, knowing that he could resist the love of his life so easily.

Krystal didn't stop, however, she just kept biting the tip of his ear, rubbing her fur against him as well as presses to him tightly, their bodies sharing heat as one.

"Okay…now you ask for it!" Fox grinned and chuckled as he turned quickly to his wife.

Fox pushed her down and was right on top of her, grabbing her thighs tightly with his strong paws, pulling her further down towards his waist, she moaned with pleasure and with glee, begging for more from Fox, he began humping her, she looked at her breast and then eyed up at Fox, her invitation to her chest was irresistable as she started to circle her nipples with her fingers slowly and gently, he lowered himself and placed his paws around her breast, then he perched his muzzle around her breast and sucked on her right nipple, biting hard with all his might in his jaws, until finally he felt the pop in his mouth, He fed upon her like a newborn kit. She held him close to her breast, practically hugging him with no space between them, moaning harder and harder with each passing minute, then a quake on the wall stopped them in their little pleasure game. Kirin was, no doubt, the one making the quake.

"KEEP IT DOWN! FOR GOD SAKE I'M A CHILD!" Kirin barked through the wall as he could hear them all the way to his room.

Krystal released Fox and sadly sighed, a night of pleasure now gone, she simply cleaned herself off and went back onto her side of the bed, her fun was over, so was Fox's, before they had Kirin, their nights were full of pleasure and joy between the two, paradise to be precise, but now with the arrival of their child, that time was slowly vanishing into memories.

Fox placed his pants on quickly as his anger flowed through his veins like a quick acting poison, his blood was boiling at this point as he rushed out of his room and went into his son's room.

"Kirin!" Fox barked with pure rage, fangs bared and loud growls.

"Fuck you." Kirin spoke in a mild town, basically not even paying attention to his father as his eyes peered upon the text of the magazine he held.

"My god, what the hell…no…what the FUCK is wrong with you?" Fox exclaimed as he demanded an answer from the teenager.

"Wrong…hmm lets review shall we…you're an ass, I have a demon inside me, you're mom's little toy, yeah I have a lot of problems don't I?" Kirin countered with the same mild tone as he went back to reading the text after his little explaination.

Fox just rubbed the between of his eyes with nothing but frustration, his head hurt with this senseless fighting.

"My god, now your acting like a child." Fox exclaimed with a grunt, his frustration was leaving a headache upon his mind, full of annoyance and anger.

"Oh well sorry, I guess I could never make you proud of me, so you know dad, I think Grandpa didn't leave you behind, he abandoned you for what an ass you are." Kirin growled, now he was beginning to become angered.

And at that moment with those sharp words spoken into the air, a slap came to Kirin's face quite hard, Fox slapped his own son, rage had built up to the brink and was too much to contain as Fox released everything into that one strike of the hand.

"Get the fuck out of my room, I don't even know why I left Sauria in the first damn place!" Kirin exclaimed with a snarl, though he showed a great amount of resistance to hold back his rage.

Fox had enough of this nonsense, he almost tore the door off the hinges when he closed it and left the room, it was too much for him to handle, if any longer he would have spilt his sons blood with several blaster shots, now he was the one who was showing resistance.

"Fucking bastard." Kirin growled as he laid on his bed and slept.

-Morning-

Kirin, before anyone else awoke from their beds to ready themselves for the clear day, opened his door quietly and went outside silently, his book bag filled with his possessions held over his shoulder, his coat buttoned up, it was only two minutes after he left his house when his tattoo acted up again, he almost vomited but held it in with great resistance, holding back from the pain that burdened him at that moment as he continued forward into Corneria's Suberbs. He had ran away from everything that he had: His home, his untakeable possessions, and his parents.

Fox awoke second, gazing at the sweet sleeping Krystal, his paw gently rubbed her side and down her hip as he stood up and went down stairs, he raised his brow with confusion as his eyes fixed upon Kirin's open door, the elder vulpine walked over and peeked inside to see his son but he wasn't inside, Kirin was long gone now.

"Kirin?…Kirin!" Fox called out, he ran outside and screamed out into the area his sons name, and yet no luck in finding him.

Krystal, naked, given no time to dress, walked out of the bedroom with concern as she was awakened by her husbands calls, wondering why Fox was screaming out Kirin's name, then she noticed her son was gone, a small gasp left her breath as her concern now turned to to worry, she quickly ran inside, searching for clues to his whereabouts, all she found was a note on his bed.

"Fox!" Krystal called to her husband as she picked up the small paper, scribbled with the texts and handwriting of their teenage son.

Fox rushed up the stairs as quick as he could possible run and looked at the note carefully with Krystal:

Dear mother,

If you are reading this, then by now I am far away from this area, or just hiding at a friends house to be alone and regain myself some inner guidence, these are my final goodbyes to both you and my father, I am not returning home and please, don't go looking for me, as I do not wish to be found or brought home.

-Kirin

Krystal lost her son again, after all these years of keeping hold of him after the Sauria rescue, she lost him once again, Fox just blasted the note into oblivion with his blaster, angered with everything now, but yet tears of sorrow ran down his face, he did not want to feel the pain of losing his son again.

"He can't be far, he left this morning, he is either at his friend's house or at school." Krystal quickly explained to her husband, she was too crushed emotionally to go out and find him.

Krystal sat down on the couch in sadness while Fox ran out and began his pursuit, looking for Kirin; without even trying, he had discovered fresh footsteps, a fox footstep no doubt, Kirin steps, but after following the first couple of steps on the path towards where he was staying, they were changing slowly more and more with each passing meter of travel, they were different now…Demons feet.

"My god…then he's…" Fox thought with horror, it was happening already, the transformation was taking place, and soon, they would lose Kirin forever.

-High School-

Rosita looked outside and noticed Fox looking at footsteps, demon footsteps; she pulled out the whip lance and sighed heavily with her old age.

"So Kirin, it has already manifested into your system too much for you to control, then I have no choice but to stop you- ARAGH!" The teach grunted with pain as she rubbed her arm carefully and gently, the whip lance dropping from her grasp and clanged on the floor. "My joints…guess I'm not like I used to be, But I can't let him run amok in the city, he could hurt someone…or worse."

-Pierces house-

Pierce sat on the couch within the living room of his home, the very same day Fox and Krystal retrieved Kirin was the same day, as they flew from Sauria to Corneria, that they found Fara as well as a star researcher, which had earned her quite the fortune she now possessed, Pierce smiled and look across from the couch and towards the young fennec on the chair, his little sister Fiona was swaying her head, humming a little tune from one of Pierce's CD's in his room, the great band Godsmack and their song "serenity".

Pierce's ears perked up quickly as he heard a knocking at his door, he got up and stretched his flexible body, reaching for the door knob as he walked over to his door and turned the knob, Kirin was on the outside, looking very depressed and full of pain, both inner and outside.

"Kirin…my house?…It's not three yet…why are you here?" Pierce asked his vulpine friend with a raised brow, they would usually meet at Pierce's house at 3 to set up and play several hours of video games that they found much better done in co-op mode.

"Pierce…I ran away from home." Kirin slowly explained, the demon tattoo had already made his eyes look like they had black eyeliner on his lower eye lids.

"Whoa man sorry to hear that, well…um…oh what the hell…you can stay with me and my family 'till your ready to get back on your feet again." The gargantuan pierced Fennec replied and smiled as he welcomed the vulpine into his home.

"Thanks Pierce." Kirin slowly smiled as he dragged himself inside the wonderful home.

Kirin moved his head to look at Fiona, who still continued humming Serenity with her content voice, her body still swaying left to right with her ponytail like a pendulum on a clock.

"Is she okay?" Kirin asked slowly, wondering what this young fennec was doing.

"Yeah, but when she hears one of my CD's I can't get her to stop humming to them, she's like a broken record." Pierce sighed and shook his head, the rings on his face, lip, and nose jingled like christmas bells, dangling with expensive jewelery.

"That explains the Godsmack T-shirt…your mom lets her where that?" Kirin asked with concern, his brow raised as he awaited Pierce to answer.

Pierce looked at the Shirt as he looked away from Kirin, a man's face was motioning through someone's skin, like thin plastic, this was a cover from Godsmack, and a great hit as well, those who would not get this album were either too religious or just poor.

"I don't know why she did, maybe she was having a massage when she asked if she could where that." Pierce explained and shruged his shoulders, not knowing what to tell about his mother, what could he tell? She was living the good life without anything to hold her back.

Kirin was a little freaked out, actually he was far beyond freaked out, he was purely in awestruck; Fara, from his point of view, always had massages that she had without a shirt or bra on, just bare fur, and yet, he found it, in his best oppinion, the kinkiest thing he ever imagined about.

"Your mom, I have to say, is…kind of creepy." Kirin lied slightly, knowing that apart of him was still attracted to Fara when she was clothless.

"I know, she was crazy about your dad." Pierce chuckled and countered, knowing of Kirin's minor "want".

"Yeah then my mom bitch slapped her, then she bitch slapped her back, and then I yelled out "CAT FIGHT!" Kirin finally countered, his cheeks began to hurt as he could not prevent himself from unleashing a fit of laughter, neither could his colossal companion.

The two laughed as hard as they could, they had always found that moment the funniest in their lives, they grew silent then slowly stared at Fiona, who was still humming the song made by Godsmack, she must have been addicted to that song and band, but then again, who wasn't?

"Okay, I know that the song is only 3 and a half minutes long, she has been humming for over twenty god damn minutes." Kirin pointed out a simple fact, knowing that such a song was indeed only that long, but to constantly hum it over would make someone lose faith in listening to it again.

"Once again, she is not right, okay." Pierce also pointed out a fact, but it was more of a majority than a minor fact.

Kirin walked up the stairs to get himself settled into a free bed or an unused room while Pierce went to talk to his mother in the backyard, preparing himself to ask if Kirin could stay. She was having her Massage, this was the perfect time to take a shot.

"Uh mom?" Pierce called out to his mother, hoping that he would win her attention quickly.

"Yeah Pierce?" The fennec replied, eyeing him through her sunglasses as her massagist worked on her shoulders.

"Kirin ran away from home and wanted to know if he can stay with us." Pierce simply asked, knowing that, in a state of relaxation such as his mother was in, the question had won the majority.

"Of course but he has to pull his weight too." Fara smiled and snuggled into the table, her chest squished into the soft table as her massagist worked his fingers down to her spine.

"Alright, I'll give him the news." Pierce smiled and walked away, as soon as he was out of sight, he released from himself a violent shiver from seeing his mother slide across the table clothless.

Kirin flicked Pierces lamp on and off, finding odd entertainment in seeing its lights and colors flash before his eyes, it was a seven colored lava lamp labeling each color from the rainbow in different spots of the lamps, it was beautiful how it lit up his room with a bright glow from such magnifiscent colors.

"You can stay…on one condition." Pierce explained as he entered and watched Kirin play with one of his prized possessions, he felt nervous that, due to Kirin's self nature, he would break it without even putting effort.

"Shoot away." Kirin replied, removing his paw from the area around the lava lamp, Pierce released a sigh of great relief from his muzzle, knowing that the good lamp was safe from harm.

"20 credits each week." Pierce announced, hands behind his paws clasped tightly, like some businessman presenting a chart for his superiors.

"Can do." Kirin replied, like the simpleton that fell under a businessman's vulture like tricks.

Pierce left the room quietly to leave his vulpine friend so that he would better settle in by himself and went back down stairs to check on his little sister, leaving Kirin to think as well.

"Why?…Why does my dad hate me?" Kirin frowned upon himself and turned onto his side, slowly falling into a nap as such a sorrowful thought floated in his head like an unanswer question, longing for answer. The room became silent, the only possible noise was the beat of the tattoo growing in strength, soon it would be too late.
