The Fox and the Hound Part 4
Kitsune's mind was a maelstrom of thoughts: 'How did her saviour end up here in the hot springs? What should she say to him? Did he have a girlfriend? Was he rich?' Kitsune's thought process was interrupted by her conscience again as it not so subtly reminded her that Hideki was slipping back into the spring and underwater. 'Crap' thought Kitsune to herself and she tried to drag Hideki out of the spring without much success, barely keeping his head above water. Suddenly, she grinned evilly as she slipped into the water and faced Hideki, she'd wake him up in her own 'special' way.
Hideki's mind was floating in a state of semi-consciousness when he suddenly noticed and felt several things all at once:
First he noticed that he was immersed in water, this wasn't pleasant.
Second he felt a pair of lips softly caressing his, this was certainly much more pleasant.
It was when he got to the third thing that he noticed however, that his mental processes started skipping like a scratched CD as he felt two very soft things on his chest. One part of his mind calmly analyzed the sensation and came to the conclusion that it was a pair of breasts of a rather well endowed female. Another part of his mind, the part that made him the most determined policeman in all of Hinata did the only logical thing it could think of and panic.
Hideki's eyes snapped open and he found himself looking at the face of the girl that he had rescued last night, she was kissing him full on the lips even as she effectively lay on his chest and he chanced a glance down to see that his mind had in fact been correct and that she was rather well endowed.... and that her towel was floating away...
The next few moments were a torrent of shouts and splashing, as Hideki tried to extricate himself from Kitsune's embrace even as the other residents of the dorm finally appeared. The youngest female residents found their eyes being covered by the older ones even as the lone male among them blushed profusely and turned away with a trickle of blood issuing from his nose, only to find himself getting punched skywards following a loud cry of "PERVERT!" from Naru.
Hideki finally snapped back into a fully alert state at the sound of the young man's scream of apology fading into the air and made to try and separate himself from the girl on his chest. Motoko spoke first, unsheathing her blade as she did "Weakling male! I will punish you for taking advantage of Kitsune-san!" and she leapt forward, bringing her blade down, meaning to separate Hideki from Kitsune in the most violent way possible.
Hideki's mind scrambled for a way out of this situation but before he could open his mouth to speak, the girl that was sitting beside him, stood up and placed herself between himself & Motoko. "Stop it Motoko! This wasn't his fault!" Kitsune yelled. Hideki heard nothing more of this conversation, having dunked himself in the hot springs even as Kitsune had stood up, naked as the day she was born.
Motoko snorted "Ridiculous! I saw him trying to grope you and you were both screaming when we arrived!" Kitsune sighed heavily "Motoko, I was trying to wake him up, the reason I screamed was because he startled me when he started thrashing around when he came to. I guess he wasn't expecting my wake up call to him" and she smiled with her trademark grin. Naru looked at her best friend and shook her head "He's a policeman Kitsune, I don't think he's ever had to deal with your type of 'wake up call' as you put it"
Shinobu had by this time wriggled free from having her vision blinded and let loose a squeal of panic that caused the other residents to look at her quizzically. As they followed the hysterical girl's pointing they saw what had caused her to react in fright. Hideki was laying motionless face down in the water and was floating away from the group. Several shouts and splashes later the group retrieved Hideki and brought him into the dorm, settling him into Keitaro's room to rest.
Hideki awoke sometime later, the first words out of his mouth were a mumbled "I'll get you Neptune and Uranus, I'll get out of this hell yet and when I do....." A soft chuckle coming from his left caused him to turn his head. Kitsune sat beside him, now fully clothed, a glass of sake in her hand "Oh now that's just a bit harsh, this dorm may not be a high class resort spa, but it is home cutie pie.... Cheers" and Kitsune downed the glass of sake in her hand in a single gulp.
Hideki blinked and sighed "Sorry, sorry, but my experiences here haven't been all that pleasant so far, between my bike getting blown to bits last night and that dunk in the hot springs tonight...." Hideki suddenly realized that he was covered in blankets up to his chin... and that he couldn't feel his clothes. "Erm, Konno-san, where are my clothes?"
Kitsune smirked "Now, now, call me Kitsune Hideki-chan" Kisune said with a wink of her eye. "As for your clothes, well you were totally soaked, not to mention unconscious, so we thought it was best to get your clothes off you to dry while you weren't able to object" and she giggled.
Hideki blanched and sat straight up, the blankets falling from his chest, revealing a fit upper body that was as advertised, without a stitch of cloth on it. Kitsune giggled again even as she made to fan herself "My, my is it getting hot in here or is it just me?" Hideki could only flush in embarrassment and dive back under the blankets. Kitsune scowled slightly "Spoilsport, I showed you mine" Hideki could only stutter and sputter out denials from under the blankets while Kitsune laughed merrily at his discomfort.
There was a knock on the door and Keitaro appeared, holding a bathrobe "Here Hideki-san, your clothes will be another hour but I have a bathrobe you can use." Hideki smiled gratefully and after Keitaro dragged Kitsune outside, Hideki threw on the bathrobe, so that at least he had some clothing on and a bit of his dignity back.
Hideki emerged from the room he had been placed in coming face to face with Kitsune's smile "So, are you feeling better now Hideki-chan?" Kitsune idly traced her finger along Hideki's chest. Hideki could feel his mental processes start to derail again and slipped into his professional demeanor in an attempt to remain lucid "I'm fine Konno-san, by the way we've never actually been formally introduced. My name is Hideki Matsui, I'm a patrolman in the Hinata district." Kitsune sighed and smirked "You sound just like a cop right now and it's too bad, cause you're kinda cute Hideki- chan" and she patted his cheek softly.
Hideki blinked, he'd been called many things in his life, but 'cute' wasn't one of the more common things he was called. "I'm truly flattered Konno- san" he managed to stutter out. Kitsune sighed "Please, it's Kitsune, Konno-san is my mother..." Hideki nodded "Understood Kitsune-san, I'll just wait here for my clothes to dry and..." Kitsune suddenly smiled and grabbed Hideki's wrist "Follow me Hideki-chan" and she dragged him to her room, Hideki stumbling to keep up with her enthusiasm.
The others who had been hiding in the shadows listening, emerged as the pair left. "Will Kitsune-san be all right with that... male? He may be a member of the local police force but still..." Motoko was scowling as she said this. Naru nodded and smiled "Kitsune can take care of herself Motoko, don't you worry" Keitaro laughed "If you want to worry about anyone Motoko-san, pity poor Hideki, I'm sure he's never dealt with anyone as lively as Kitsune"
Kitsune pulled Hideki into her room and giggled before speaking "Welcome to Kitsune-land, please have your tickets ready!" Hideki could hardly believe this, last night he had discovered this girl on the edge of being raped and tonight she was dragging him to her room like he was a long lost friend. Hideki managed to steer himself to the futon and sat down sighing.
Kitsune was right in his face smiling "Can I get you a drink Hideki?" Hideki looked around the room for the first time and blinked in utter shock. 'This girl's room is better stocked with liquor than half the bars in Tokyo' he thought to himself. Kitsune snapped her fingers in front of his face "Earth to Hideki, Earth to Hideki, how about that drink?"
Hideki dragged himself back from his musings "Um, would you have some water Kitsune-san?" Kitsune's face flashed with dissapointment briefly "Water? Oh, yeah I've got some here, need something to mix the liquor with after all" and she went over to a miniature fridge, after a minute of searching she came up with a bottle of water that she underhanded to Hideki. Hideki caught the bottle easily and opened it, bringing it to his lips. Kitsune smiled "Straight from the bottle? My kind of guy, even if it is only water, Cheers!" and with that she brought a glass of sake up in a toast before throwing it back in a single shot.
Hideki said nothing, but noted to himself that this was the second glass of sake that Kitsune had downed in less than half an hour, each of them thrown back like she had been doing this for a long time. Suddenly Kitsune was in his lap, her breath smelled slightly of the sake she had just consumed, but she didn't appear to Hideki to be hindered in any way, which made what she said all the more surprising.
Kitsune smiled and spoke "Thank you Hideki, if it wasn't for you who knows what would have happened last night" Hideki made to speak but Kitsune put a gentle finger on his lips "Please, let me finish. You did something last night that no one has done for me in a long time. You stuck your neck out for me and whether you were a cop or not, it was a dangerous situation. You could have been hurt, hell, if either of those jokers had a gun, you could have been killed" and she kissed him on the lips with all her passion behind it.
Hideki's mind was exploding, he'd never experienced a kiss like this, he felt like his entire body was on fire. As they finally broke the kiss Hideki took the opportunity to breathe and then to speak "Kitsune-san, you make it sound like you have no one that cares about you and I know that's just not true. All your friends here in the dorm were very worried about you when I brought you back last night..."
Kitsune's smile sagged a bit "Yes, they're friends, hell, the only true friends I've ever had, but you did something for me that even they might not have done in your shoes and I'm in your debt for that. Most men when they look at me only think of one thing when doing something for me and it shows." With that she sighed and put her head on Hideki's chest.
Hideki put his arms gently on Kitsune's shoulders and she snuggled into his chest. 'Poor girl' Hideki thought to himself 'Last night must have affected her more than I could have imagined....' Hideki found his eyelids dropping even as he heard the soft snoring sounds coming from the girl resting on his chest and he fell asleep a contented smile on his face.
But his was not a restful sleep...
Hideki found himself tied up in a chair, in room with a single spotlight in it 'What the hell?' he thought to himself as he struggled against his bonds. A coldly familiar voice rang through the room. "Yet again you dissapoint me, taking up with such a low class woman. I'm ashamed to call you my son" Hideki growled even as he continued to struggle against his bonds "What the hell is the meaning of this? What's this all about?"
A second spotlight blazed into existance revealing Kitsune's limp form, being held up by two figures that Hideki couldn't make out for the glare of the spotlight. "Yet again I have to clean up after you Hideki. Until you learn your place this is the only way to get through to you." Hideki called out "Kitsune-san, KITSUNE-SAN!" and the girl began to stir. Kitsune blinked "Wha? Where? Hideki-chan? Hideki-chan! HELP ME!" and the girl struggled against her captors until she was silenced by one of them striking her on the temple, causing her to fall limp once more, a trickle of blood issuing behind her right ear.
Hideki howled in fury and redoubled his efforts against his bonds. "You ASSHOLE! Not again! You leave her the hell alone, it's me you want to control! Let her go father!" The voice laughed coldly "You're in no position to bargain 'Hideki-chan' take her away gentlemen and dispose of her as you wish" and the pair of figures dragged her off laughing, leaving Hideki alone in the room yelling curses and finally crying when his voice gave out.
The rising sun in Hinata the next day was the sole witness to the strange sight of a pair of figures on a futon, one with a contented expression on her face and the other with tears on his face, holding her as if his life depended on it...
