Wahoo! I'm finally finished, I guess it's time to update since I've already
got people emailing me asking where it is... (thank you person who I will
not name for reminding me about this story) ^^
So far we have an injured fox, a caring girl, and two lovesick people... or
at least a fox and a person. So anyway here's chapter five...
**************************
Three weeks later, Yoko was feeling much stronger and was now prancing around the cabin but was still limited to only indoors. (As in he was only allowed to stay inside)
*Pft, why do I have to listen to this girl... why DO I listen to her? Yoko pondered lying down upon the floor.
"Alright, I'm going outside for some firewood... be right back." The auburn haired female stated stroking the fox's silky fur. She then stood up and exited the room to the outdoors.
*Why do I stay here? I believe I'm plenty strong enough to go out and be on my own... although that roast does have a distinct taste that continues to hold me hostage.
Yoko raised his head at the sound of a robin landing on the outside windowsill. He allowed himself to cautiously raise to all fours and wander over to the area underneath the window where the bird was.
*Damn it, even the robin mocks me with his freedom and ability to be outside... well I'll show him.
The fox then rose to his hind legs with his front one's on the bookcase next to him. Next, he proceeded to try jumping.
*Just... a... little... HIGHER
The last leap caused him to come down on his injured paw and tumble to the dusty floor.
*O.k. jumping doesn't work... how about climbing? But the bookcase is also too high to leap upon. Why don't I try building something?
He glanced around and then spotted a whicker chair off in the distance and next to it a foot rest.
*That'll work perfectly.
He then continued to stroll over to the wooden piece of furniture and drag it with his teeth to the place that he needed it.
*Now for the foot stool.
The kitsune bit into the leg of it and discovered much to his surprise that it was made of Styrofoam.
*What? Why would she keep this if it's made of Styrofoam?
He then proceeded to open his maw and a mouthful of little white circular pieces of plastic covered his tongue. He spat all hundred-or-so flakes out and continued his search of something to climb upon to escape.
*My god! This girl doesn't own anything that is of use to me...
The cabin was small and obviously couldn't hold much. A chair, a kitchen table, which was also too big, and few other items which were also useless at the moment.
*Three weeks... I should be healing longer but being in this futile fox body makes me feel worthless, although I shouldn't risk that girl seeing me as Yoko.
As the silver fox was inside, Gem was outside with the ax taking care of the logs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well he is a fox... I could show him. No, you can't, you swore no one would ever penetrate your love life and that's a promise."
As she as thinking out loud, a deer appeared over in the far woods and a small blue jay landed on the cedar tree above her.
"Why would I need a mate? I'm happy with these animals and my freedom... but, he isn't bad looking..." She then proceeded to slam the sharp blade down into the wood causing it to split in two.
"Forget it, the second he's better he's out of here."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Why wait till I'm better? I'm out of here.
Carefully, he began trying to morph into his true form. His tiny paws began changing into human type ones and his fur was almost finished being replaced with his normal white silk outfit when...
"Sorry it took so long." Gem's cheerful voice rang as she entered the room once more.
The fox immediately stopped his transformation and retorted back to his fox- type form.
*Damn that woman.
"Well we won't freeze tonight..." She finally noticed the footrest was missing part of the leg.
"Are you hungry or something? Here, eat up." She threw him a slice of fresh venison that had a bite already taken out of it despite the fact that it was raw.
*D...did she eat that? I didn't think she'd eat raw meat.
"That's all you're getting for now, I'll fix up some cooked meat and we'll have that tonight."
*Is that all she eats? Meat? I'm not complaining but what type of girl is this?
Right before the female turned to the kitchen, she noticed the last bit of his hand just regain some fur.
*That's strange, I could have sworn he had a hand like mine for a second...
Finally they were both suspicious of who the other was.
*What is her demon type any way? Yoko silently pondered.
*What is his name? Gem quietly questioned.
*Who are you? ...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Wow! Gem might actually be developing feelings for Yoko but Yoko's becoming suspicious. I am SO sorry it's been forever since I last updated but that was chapter 5. I'll try to make the wait for chapter 6 shorter but school's been in the way. Maybe after we're through with the whole school play thing I'll have more time.
