A/N: OK, now its time for Fox to tell Krystal about what he saw. How will Krystal react? Again, I know I just kind of threw Katt in there and all. Anyway, This chapter is pretty short compared to my last few chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Star Fox, they belong to Nintendo and/or Rare. Any relation to my made up characters in any way is completely coincidental.

Chapter 13-Fox and Krystal

It was close to the sunset now. Fox was contemplating on how to tell Krystal what he'd seen. Shane just wasn't right. What kind of fur worshipped humans anyway? He paced around in front of Krystal's house for a bit, and then the door swung open. "Fox, what are you doing?"

Fox stood there nervously. "Let me come in, there's something I need to tell you."

"First you tell me why its OK for you to run off without a word, but I can't?"

Fox shoved his way in anyway. "Hey!" Krystal pouted, but she shut the door anyway.

Fox had a seat and just looked up at Krystal. He was a little shakey. Krystal had NEVER seen Fox like this before. "I'm not going to lie Krystal. I left to see Shane."

Krystal's eyes went wide. "I knew that there was no way you were ever going to--"

"Trust him?" Fox finished for her. Krystal nodded, and Fox just sighed. "Krystal, Shane isn't what you think he is."

"Why are you saying this?" Krystal started to become angry and clenched her paws into fist.

"I went into Shane's mansion Krystal. The things I saw were not pretty."

Krystal forgot about Fox's antagonism towards humans. "No, it isn't what you think Fox. The statues and the paintings are just because he believes in a peace formed between humans and furs."

Fox shook his head. "I'm not talking about the paintings. I'm talking about the eastwing. The LOWER level of the eastwing."

Krystal sat down. "He said it was forbidden."

"I thought you'd never see what was there." Fox sighed. "I don't want you to get hurt Krystal...and that means that you shouldn't see Shane anymore."

"Why?"

"In the doors, Krystal, were trophies! Almost any animal you could think of! He had a shotgun and human material. All over the lower end of the eastwing."

Krystal was silent for a moment. She didn't want to believe Fox. She wasn't even sure if she did. "Fox...." she slowly began. It was unusual for Krystal to feel the way she was now. "....you're jealous aren't you?"

Fox's eyes widened and his ears perked up. "What!?"

"You're jealous of Shane. I can't believe you'd go so far out of the way to craft up a lie like that!"

"Its the truth! Shane is on the side of man. The paintings and statues aren't to represent peace and love between furs and humans. Its all an act!"

Krystal stood up and opened the door. "I didn't think you'd sink so low. I think you should leave. Shane would never do anything to harm another fur. He's kind and gentle and---"

"A backstabbing asshole! Open your eyes! Did you see what was in there?" Krystal shook her head. "Well, I did. It wasn't pretty. I NEVER want you to see Shane again. Its to protect you Krystal."

Krystal had a tear in her eye. "Get out!" She said.

Fox stood up and slowly walked to the door that Krystal had opened for him. "You've gotta believe me Krystal." After that Fox was gone.

Behind him, he heard Krystal whisper one thing. "All you had to say was that you didn't love me."

A/N: More Drama. I'd like to say its my specialty but its not really. Yes, this chapter was a tad bit short compared to everything else, but I honestly feel like the last few chapters have had strong feeling in them. I'm not sure if it helps the story or just brings it down.
