"Did you see him leave?" Tailsko asks Espio while everyone checks their things.
"No. But I would have seen Storm leave with him if he did get caught," Espio explains.
"She kicked all their asses," Kuro says, blinking into the room.
They all jump in shock before seeing who it is. "Oh, good. You made it," Sally says in relief.
"No thanks to the stupid plan. I am still in shock. She went for plan B. You told me to use it if plan A fell through," Kuro says, taking a seat hard on the ground.
"You're bleeding!" Tailsko says and goes to grab some medical supplies. "Should have said something," she scolds while cleaning up his blood-stained fur and clothes before seeing the injury.
Kuro hums before hissing a little when she touches the spot with the alcohol pad. "Yeah. She tried threatening me. Didn't work, heh," he laughs off.
"We may not have been able to capture an egg boss, but this should set us up for the next operation and distract her for a bit," Sally says.
Kuro smirks over to them. "You're welcome, by the way. Yes, thank you, Kuro. How can we help you now? Oh, I don't know. How about a good bed to finally get some proper sleep?!" Kuro plays out and then yells frustrated, which surprises Tailsko enough to stop treating him for a while. "Tell me at least you have a sleeping bag set up," Kuro demands as Tailsko returns to fixing up his wound.
"Yes, we do. Though some of us half expected you to make a run for it," Sally says, not naming names.
"Don't tempt me," Kuro informs, sounding very tired and rubs at his eyes. "If you excuse me, I am taking one of those, and I don't care who has it. It's mine now," he declares before getting up and slapping Tailsko's hands away.
Sally raises an eyebrow as Tailsko walks up beside her with a bloody rag. They both watch as Kuro walks into a large truck without even checking what was inside. "I'll…go deal with him," Tailsko promises and climbs into the truck holding all her workshop supplies to find Kuro already in the only sleeping bag on the floor.
"The one sleeping bag I had to pick…" Kuro mumbles and pulls the covers over his shoulders. He is facing away from her as Tailsko walks up and sits by him. "I can fix myself by the way. I'm sure a cute girl like you can get someone to give their sleeping bag for you," he waves off.
Tailsko stares at him for the longest time, and Kuro realizes she isn't leaving anytime soon. "You do know you only know me for like a few days? Plus, I had a mad woman chasing after me the whole time, so I don't see how…"
"How long have you been alone?"
"…I prefer it that way," Kuro comments, showing he wasn't as asleep as she thought.
Tailsko starts to take out more medical supplies and leave it by his side. "Then why do I hear about you trying to romance and hit on Rouge? I thought, from the sounds of things before you went for the mission, that you like to be alone."
"I'm not trying to romance her. I can already tell she has quite a few partners. Plus, she is also a thief. That kind of match up doesn't end well most of the time," Kuro explains.
Tailsko shakes her head as she prepares what he needs to patch himself up. "And here you are, joining us. I was surprised you came back to us when you wanted to run in the beginning. You have that feeling around you…I guess I can describe it as someone who will push away anyone," she tries to describe while looking thoughtful. Kuro says nothing before feeling a hand on his shoulder. "What happened to make you like this?" Tailsko asks.
Kuro stays silent on the matter and doesn't react, so Tailsko sighs and starts to get up. "You lost someone, didn't you?" she guesses and sees his ears flinch. Tailsko slowly nods to herself before starting to leave. "I'll stay with another for the night. You can have this spot for yourself. I already prepared what you need to fix yourself up too so you can go ahead," Tailsko explains and doesn't see him move an inch. "Good night Kuro," she says before jumping out of the truck, and Kuro can hear her walk away based on the grass being stepped on.
Kuro says nothing as he withdraws entirely into the sleeping bag and just closes his eyes, not bothering with the bandages.
Kuro wasn't seen for the next few days as the freedom fighters set up their new base. It was a bit more cramped than the last one, but it doesn't affect them because there wasn't enough to start having issues yet. On the third day, Tailsko saw Kuro in her lab sitting around. Not stealing, but mostly thinking.
"Hey, Kuro…thinking of another dagger to make?" Tailsko asks, a little excited at learning a new way to make the weapons and anything else of note like the last time.
"You got the ion, right?" Kuro asks while staring at the small coffee table, which was a crate with a metal plate placed on top of it.
Tailsko tilts her head curiously. "Yeah. Why? Need to make more?"
"…I guess I shouldn't be too surprised…" Kuro says, pausing before sighing. "Could you make me something?" Kuro asks after a while.
Tailsko smiles gently. "Sure. What do you need?"
"…I am hesitant to ask this because you need to know the specifics of my power to make this…" Kuro says, taking a deep breath as if bracing himself.
"Hey," Tailsko interrupts, stopping him cold to see her staring at him with a slight frown. "If you don't want to tell, that's fine. I mean, I can see you are troubled enough. Just tell me how much room you need, and I can give," she assures and promises. She then sits down by the workbench on the wall as Kuro gives a brief once over of the room. It wasn't so much a workshop around here or a hanger. It feels more like the crampest bedroom around fitted to be a workplace and a place to live a person's life out at the same time. Just to walk around from side to side is just a few feet of walking space. But to the end of the room is ten feet. It seems too small for Tailsko to work in, but she already made it work repairing some clothes and items the other fighters brought in.
"No, it's fine. I need something that can feed me info about places and calculate distance from current location to another and for things like how thick walls are and all relevant data," Kuro informs.
Tailsko tilts her head curiously. "Is that…how your powers work?" she questions and wonders how to make something that measures distance beyond and through walls.
"Yes. Tell me a direction and how far and I will show you," Kuro says, closing his eyes and soon hears a tape measure.
"Hmm…" Tailsko hums before she marks a spot. "Ten feet in front of you," she says and steps away from the place before gasping as Kuro suddenly appears in front of her. "Whoa."
"So, it doesn't matter if I can see or not or if something is in the way. I just need distance and direction," Kuro informs, opening his eyes and sees he and Tailsko were looking at each other's eyes.
"Wow…" Tailsko says in awe as she keeps staring back at him. "So…what's your limit?"
"I am unsure if I have a limit range wise, but every time I do it, it eats away at my energy," Kuro informs as Tailsko blushes, realizing she was staring into his eyes.
Tailsko breaks eye contact and nervously scratches at her cheek fur. "Right…let's see what I can come up with," she quickly says while moving to the workbench.
"Probably would be easiest if it was eyewear or a mask…you have been starting to include shielding on everything, right?" Kuro asks, recalling how he lost his communicator and glad he still remembered Abyss's number.
Tailsko smiles and reaches into a nearby bag on the table to pull out another communicator. "Here you go. We stole a few things from those guys still chasing us," she offers and holds it out to him.
"And hidden the location part so they can't triangulate its location?" Kuro asks.
Tailsko smirks. "What do you take me for? An idiot?" she asks jokingly and holds up a microchip. "This saves you a few months of being tracked."
"Want to say hi to one of the egg bosses?" Kuro asks, starting to add Abyss's contact info.
"'Sexy squid'?" Tailsko asks, and Kuro stares at her. "Rouge brags," she waves off with a screwdriver.
"So, you want to?" Kuro asks, hitting the call.
Tailsko smiles. "I'm here, aren't I?"
"What is it?" Abyss asks, not really looking at the communicator and very distracted.
Kuro massages his throat a bit before speaking in a slightly different voice. "Uh…boss, the system is messing up again. We weren't supposed to receive Sonica, right?" Kuro asks.
Tailsko freezes up and looks at him, shocked at what he is doing. "No. Of course not," Abyss starts and looks at the camera where Kuro is waving at her. "She is supposed to be…you!" she yells threateningly to the camera.
"Oh, please go on, captain. I am all ears," Kuro jokes. "So, how are you doing?" Kuro asks more casually.
Abyss hisses and clicks her teeth as he talks. "You caused so much trouble!" she accuses.
"No, that was Storm who was chasing me who did that. So from the looks of it…they are slacking again, aren't they?" Kuro asks.
"I see she hasn't caught you yet," Abyss comments.
"You see an altar in the background?" Kuro asks.
Abyss clicks her teeth, annoyed, which Kuro smiles at. "Don't smile. I haven't forgotten you were here last time."
"Speaking of which, you prefer scotch or beer?" Kuro asks, surprising Abyss.
Abyss groans. "Would you stop fucking around and flirting with me?" she complains.
"I can't help it. You have a charm to you that I can not resist, and I made you a promise," Kuro says, reminding her.
Abyss screams, which make Tailsko slowly lean away from the screen. "Wait…" Abyss says and looks closer at the screen. "That background is new…" Abyss realizes and tries to see any discernible detail.
"So you want to see me again? I can arrange to meet up in Casino Park in nearly a month," Kuro offers.
Abyss growls before slamming the call off hard enough that Kuro and Tailsko heard something crack before the line was cut off. "I don't think she is coming," Tailsko says after a while.
Kuro smirks and sets a timer for forty minutes and waits when the timer hits zero, his communicator rang. "Yes, Abyss?" Kuro asks.
"Casino Park, was it?" Abyss asks.
Kuro smiles and leans on the bench while watching Tailsko's reaction. "Yeah. One month. Hope to see you there in something beautiful, sexy. At hotel Tricolor. It will be under Storm's name," Kuro informs.
Abyss takes a deep breath before sighing. "Fine," she agrees before cutting the line.
"Abyss gets mad easily, but you give her a bit to cool off, and she will come around," Kuro informs the shocked Tailsko, who was still amazed how he made manipulating Abyss look easy.
"So…that's what sleeping with her gets you…" Tailsko says offhandedly, and Kuro still looks surprised at her knowing this stuff. "I am not that dumb," she says, seeing his expression. "I can guess based on how you named her in the contacts."
"Sally thinks you are too innocent and young to know love like that," Kuro says, shrugging, putting the communicator away. "I fully suspect she is calling Storm at this moment to bait that information in front of her at this moment as well. Got a bit of a rivalry going being a ninja and a pirate," Kuro comments.
Tailsko sighs while still working away. "Well, while you get your showdown going, this will take a while. I don't know exactly, but I will have it soon for you," she says, working intently on the circuit board.
"So, what is Sonica like?" Kuro asks, right out of left field for her as he takes a seat.
Tailsko hums and keeps working away. Yet, Kuro can see her tails stiffen and wave around. "She's…a party girl. She tends to have fun when she visits new places, but when it comes time to relax…she sleeps. Like anywhere you can relax, she will take that spot," Tailsko tries to relax.
"And…what about you?" Kuro asks.
Tailsko peers closer at something she is working on. "Well, I am busy most of the time. Though I do try to make time for everyone, it's good to have fun once in a while and run with Sonica even. She would take you by the hand and help you run," she says, smiling at the memory.
"Would you like to get to know each other better?" Kuro asks, making her head raise and look at him.
Tailsko slowly looks to the side nervously and chuckles. "Well…I…don't know," she stutters.
"Take all the time you need to think it over," Kuro says, using her own words.
Tailsko clears her throat before trying to continue working. "Right…got to continue working," she says, keeping her eyes on his new technology. After a while, she flicks her gaze to Kuro once in a while and notices him watching her intently, with his gaze wandering over her body and tracing her curves. She hums in her throat as she tries not to make it visible that she noticed him, but it was slowly failing as her tails told the whole story. Kuro seems to smile as he watches the two tails move around and wiggle around like a dog would wag their tail.
After a few minutes of torturous silence, Tailsko sighs and places her work and tool on the table before hanging her head. "What do you have in mind?" she relents, wanting this silence to be over as she leans on the workbench.
Tailsko hears Kuro get up and walk over to her before placing his hands on her shoulders, making her tense up at the sudden touch. "You are too tense to be working like this. You might mess up, and I could end up in a wall somewhere," Kuro says softly over her ear as he steps up behind her with him almost touching her fur with his chest.
Tailsko looks down at her work and realizes he might be right. As already, she can count ten mistakes she missed while working, and it could have cost him his life, worse since this main circuit board would be buried among the rest of the parts needed for this machine. "I…guess you're right."
"Come on," Kuro whispers as he runs one of his hands down her arm and the other along with her chest before grabbing at one of her small breasts with a pink nipple that was barely peeking out of her white fur. Tailsko shakily moans with her tails waving against his chest, almost trying to split itself around him. "I'm guessing you have had dreams of being treated at your workplace? With someone coming up and pinning you here?" he teases while whispering into her ear.
Tailsko blushes heavily at the implication and shuts her eyes not to let him see her response as quickly as he can tell. She hears Kuro give a deep chuckle that rumbles in his chest and against her back. "I see. Let's see about making it real, shall we?" he asks and nips the end of one of her ears. Tailsko clamps a hand over her mouth and stifles a moan that comes out of her. Kuro snickers are quiet enough that she only can hear him for her attempt to stay quiet about what's happening to her.
Kuro's tail wags behind him as he slowly moves his hand to maneuver Tailsko's arm off the bench and behind her back. Tailsko groans while using her free arm to brace herself against the counter. Tailsko tries to stay upright before feeling his hand move from her chest and up to head. She moans while feeling him press up against her and pin her in place against the edge. Kuro moves her head and turns her to the side where he is and kisses her. Tailsko moans with a squeak in his mouth and slowly leans back against him, feeling him pin her arm against her back, leaving her helpless against his whims.
Tailsko slowly feels Kuro slips his tongue into her mouth and explores everything he can reach, pinning her own tongue in place as she loses the kissing match. Tailsko groans while he pushes her body down against the bench, making it harder to breathe for her sale before he breaks the kiss. She pants for needed air and sees the string of saliva between them and her drooling mouth. Tailsko then notices what position she is in and feels something throbbing between her tails before a warm liquid drips on her lower back. She lets loose a low moan and clenches her free hand against the workbench to brace herself.
Kuro slowly moves back and lets Tailsko feel every inch of Kuro, including the knotty bump that slips through her tails, which makes her wonder how it would feel inside of her. Though, she doesn't have to wait long as he positions himself at her dripping snatch and pushes himself inside a few inches. Tailsko yelps and bites her lower lip to quiet herself. Kuro pushes the arm on her back up a few times and distracts her as he drives in a few more inches. Tailsko finally gets some groans out and pushes her hips back and bumps against his knot, stopping. Tailsko pants slowly and tries to catch her breath before yelping as Kuro pulls his hips back and slams back into her.
Kuro groans and grips her arm and the hair on her head tighter, finding a better grip as he repeatedly saws in and out of her. Tailsko grits her teeth and tries to stay quiet, not to be found out by the others who could hear them through the door. Kuro leans down to her as she feels his knot threatening to split her apart as it batters against her. "Go ahead. Moan. I'm sure you need to," Kuro whispers into her ear before biting it. Tailsko makes an audible moan that echoes throughout the room and leaves Kuro to chuckle at her reaction.
As Tailsko whimpers and tries to keep up with his motions, she let her tails wrap around his waist, holding him in place. Kuro smirks and yanks her back hard when he pulls back enough, and she yips in surprise and some pain as the knot presses against her before slipping through. Tailsko pants deeply now with her free hand trying to find some grip blindly somewhere, yet can't as Kuro returns to humping against her ass and leaves her ears to ring with wet slapping noises. She hasn't even noticed that with all that is happening, her legs and ass have become drenched, and her fur soaked. Tailsko lets out a needy moan as she feels the throbbing wolf cock inside of her and moves her hips back to meet his thumps, wanting him to finish her already.
Kuro leans down to her again and kisses her cheek. Tailsko smiles and tries to lean up for a kiss, which he gladly returns while his balls clench up against him. A deep grunt comes from Kuro as he holds the kiss, starting to pour his cum into Tailsko, pressing himself as deep as possible. She moans in return while feeling him tighten his grip and moves her head and arm more as his cock twitched inside her with every spurt of his jizz. Tailsko pants while they partially break the kiss, leaving her breathless and still moving her hips against him to get what she can. Kuro smiles at her as she looks up at him before he lets go of her and lets her fall onto the workbench. Tailsko grunts as she hits the table and braces herself again before yelping when Kuro gives a tug. He places his hands on her hips and grips tight before giving a few tugs that make her moan and yip with every movement. Tailsko sees what he is doing and pulls her hips back when he tugs again to let him pull out with a pop before moaning at the empty feeling.
Kuro smiles and rubs at her ass and back as she is left on top of the workbench with her legs hanging off of it, a stream of white cum leaking down her legs and hitting the floor. Tailsko slowly tries to push herself up before Kuro grabs her by the waist and carries her to the makeshift bed in the corner of the room. Tailsko was so tired and exhausted at that point; she doesn't bother resisting his attempt as he carries her against his chest while he lays down. Kuro gives a small nuzzle to her neck and head as he sets her on his lap and covers them up.
Tailsko sighs and breathes out deeply while leaning against his soft fur chest. Her hand blindly tries to find his hand but instead finds his side, so she grips that instead in an attempt to steady herself. "That…was…"
Kuro smiles and gives a small kiss to her cheek. "Fun? Wasn't it?" he asks, taking a nip of her ear to make both of them twitch. His hand travels down to her ass and squeezes her there a few times as his other hand goes up to her chest to take hold of one of her breasts. "I can tell based on how you are reacting."
Tailsko moans and grips at his fur. "Yeah…" she voices and slowly closes her eyes. Kuro gives a few taps to her ass before hearing her snore quietly while she and her tails curl up on his lap. Kuro shrugs and leans back into the bed while drawing the blankets over them to at least get some sleep with her as well.
