A/N: OK HERE IT IS! What's behind those doors that we visited for the first time in chapter 5? Krystal never found out, but Fox is about to...and What Fox is about to see will change his perspective on Shane entirely....

Chapter 11-Fox's Surprise

So far, in Fox's eyes, Shane seemed like a decent fur. He was a great artist. The only thing eerie was all the human art and statues that Fox saw. He didn't really care much for that "Human/Furry" peace painting. He still found humans to be pretty bad to him.

Fox walked into the eastern doors to find...a storage? Nothing but boxes piled up. Fox was a bit puzzled. 'Of all the doors, why was this one locked then?' Fox looked in the box and found gloves. These gloves were strange though. They were big...much too big for a furry to wear. Below that were boots. Again, much to big for a fur to wear.

Fox continued to look around. Another box had lots of stories. "The Three Little Pigs", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Peter Pan", "Beauty and the Beast". Fox had never heard of these stories before. He looked and saw more books. "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". What were these? Surely no fur had ever heard of these before.

Fox continued to look through the boxes. It was now getting interesting. He opened up one box to reveal another book. "Being a Furry". This one interested Fox. 'Why would a fur want a book on being a furry?' Fox asked himself. The author almost looked familiar though: Mia.

Even more things came up. There was a chalk board covered with dust. There were several math equations on the board. Ones that had never been finished. This was getting weirder and weirder for Fox.

Fox found another box of books. "Super Mario Brothers", "Metroid", "The Legend of Zelda". There was much more where that came from. "Secret of Mana", "Final Fantasy", "Chrono Trigger". No fur had ever read these books before. "What the hell is this?" Fox asked himself out loud.

There was another box. This one had a fur hat. It was a nice fur hat. Fox almost admired it until he looked closely. "A raccoon tail?" Deeper in the box was a bearskin rug. "Is this fox sick!?"

There was another door. Fox didn't know if he wanted to see what was behind this one. This stuff was all foreign to him. He walked through anyway.

This room was full of fur coats. As with the boxes, they were covered in dust. But Fox coudln't tell what animal they were made from. They HAD to have been made from animals. There was yet another box in the corner. Fox removed a pair of bunny slippers from the box. Fox remained dumbfounded on the whole aspect.

Again, there was another door. He walked through this too. In this room there wasn't much. There was a mantel and a couch in the center. The problem was that over the mantel was a shotgun. Fox gasped when he saw this. "Why would any fur need a shotgun?" Fox asked outloud. As a fur you weren't really too reliant on guns. Fox took the shotgun off the mantel. He was careful on what he did. His father had been shot with a shotgun before. Fox pulled the trigger. CLICK! It was totally empty.

There was one last door. This one had Fox frightened. If the shotgun was here...then Fox didn't want to know what else he kept in the back room. Fox set the shotgun back down. His heart was beating hard agaisnt his chest, and sweat dripped down his face. He suddenly felt a little more faint. His legs became jell-o suddenly, and he could barely hold himself up. 'Its not like you've never opened a door before!' He told himself.

He finally stood up straight and jiggled the doorknob. Locked. Fox took out his lockpick once again. Hopefully this would be the last time he'd have to use it in here. This mansion was suddenly scary for Fox. He felt discomfort in undoing this lock, and it actually took him a little longer to undo. Was it because he froze or because he didn't want to see what was behind?

He finally got the door open! Part of him was excited...the other nervous. The room was completely dark! Fox didn't know where the light was. It was scary at first. The door still open behind him. It wasn't too late to go back. But Fox was sure that whatever it was, he'd faced worse.

Fox finally found the light. When he turned it on he almost died with horror at what he saw when the room was illuminated. What kind of sick fur was he!? All over the room were trophies. Of almost any animal you could think of. Mostly deer and foxes. This made Fox sick. A tear welled up in his eyes. All over the room were trophies of animals. Tigers, Lions, Bears, Foxes, Deer. There was even a stuffed bird in the corner. Fox looked below his feet to see he was standing on a bear skin rug. He quickly hopped off with a scream. He wanted to cry. This was HORRIBLE!

Fox was then pounced from behind and pinned to the ground. He was pinned by no other than Shane. Shane was upset and let out a rather long and uplifting growl. He was griting his teeth and stared down at Fox. His eyes weren't blue, but red. He'd gotten his rest, but his eyes were red with anger. Fox struggled to get loose but that only made Shane unsheathed and dig his claws into Fox's shoulder. "WHY DID YOU COME HERE! TRESSPASSER!" Shane screamed in Fox's face.

This was the first time Fox had ever seen Shane, and he was raving mad! Fox remained calm...all except for what he'd seen. "What is all this Shane? Tell me."

Shane was surprised that Fox new his name. He let up a little, but still dug into Fox's shoulder. It was antagonizing pain, and Fox felt like he was being stabbed with the world's sharpest knife. Shane was still furious, his eyes still burning.

He let off of Fox fully, and came to a stance with his claws still unsheathed. "GET OUT!" Shane screamed at the top of his lungs. "GET OUT NOW! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE HERE!" It was the most upset Shane had ever been. Fox didn't move. "LEAVE!" Shane screamed. Fox still didn't move. Shane kicked a nearby box open and out popped a second shotgun. He grabbed it and pointed it at Fox. "LEAVE OR ELSE YOU'RE HEAD WILL BE UP THERE WITH THE REST OF THEM!"

Fox still didn't move. "Pull the trigger!"

Shane softened his look. He set the gun down. "Its not even loaded."

"I know. This stuff is dusty as hell, if the other one wasn't loaded, I didn't think that one would be."

Shane was still furious, eventhough it didn't come out as much now. "Fox, just leave! I think you've seen enough for one visit."

Shane just sat down in the middle of the room and let a tear drip down his muzzle.

"What is all this for?" Fox asked as he cautiously walked over to Shane.

"What part of leave did you not understand!?" He was close to crying. "Forget about everything you saw here and go!"

Fox almost didn't want to go. "Shane...."

"GO!" Shane pointed.

Fox left the eastwing. As he went to the door in the main hall to leave he suddenly heard his name called. He looked back as Shane was dashing after him. He'd locked the door before he came rushing out. "Please don't misjudge me." Was all Shane said.

Fox hadn't opened the door yet, but he was still upset. Shane was still crying. "Why Shane?"

Shane looked up. "I can't tell you....you'd never understand."

"No you don't understand! What kind of fox are you!? You really are a Dark Fox. You don't deserve to live with what I've seen!" Fox shouted to Shane. "You little bastard! Krystal obviously doesn' t know about it!"

"Please don't tell Krystal!" Shane begged. Maybe Fox would show some mercy. "I love her too much."

"If you love her so much, then why doesn't she know!?" Fox stood tall. "You sick bastard! I hope you burn in hell for what you've done! How long have you been holding that secret out! How long have you been on the side of man!?"

Shane was a little hurt. "Fox..."

Fox waved a paw to blow him off, "If you won't answer me, then I've got no choice. Shane, I don't EVER want to see you in the village EVER again. If I so much as even THINK that you're around, I'll be back here and I'll have YOUR head on a trophy!" He opened the door and was about to walk out.

"Fox don't!" Shane screamed. "You really don't understand!" But it was too late. Fox had slammed the door shut. Shane collapsed to the floor. Shane had stopped crying but finally realized that it was all suddenly over., everything he had with Krystal was now going to be over. "Fox...."

A/N: Now we know what's behind those doors. But what will Krystal think when she hears? Yes, I used names of other videogames and such, but I wanted to make it more interesting. I really like this chapter lots. If you want to know the rest let me know in a review and perhaps I'll keep going.
