So... I do believe it's time to update... nothing much to say here but
here's Chapter 6... Yay! Halfway done with the story! ^^
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Well you should be completely healed." Gem stated removing the wraps from the kitsune's chest and paw.
"Wow, you healed almost perfectly. That's good. Well I'm gonna go take a bath, I'll be back pretty soon." She scratched him behind the ears and then retreated to the bathroom.
*********** *Fully healed? Perfect now I can leave that wrech and get back to my thieving life... although I am gonna miss those cooked meals, and this cabin, and... no, I won't even think it.
Yoko had almost allowed his mind to think that his heart had become soft enough to find feelings for Gem.
*No, before that woman does anymore damage to my mind, I must leave now. She wouldn't care about a low-life thief like me anyway. But when I do go back to that life, it will be awfully lonely, do I really want that...
The fox then pranced over to the door and looked up at the doorknob.
*Damnit, the things too high and last time I tried the window I almost injured myself again. I could always try... yes, I will. She already said I was fully healed.
The fox's spirit energy began to rise and slowly his bones began breaking and changing. The silver paws were then changed into hands and feet.
The pain was almost unbearable. The fur disappeared and his blood red eyes were replaced with dazzling golden ones. Silver tresses flowed down his back as did a matching fox tail that reached to his ankles.
Whereas the transformation was almost through, the bones were not completely settled yet... the splintering and cracking of his skeleton continued...
**************
As for Gem...
"Finally, that fox is healed and I can relax... but I still wonder why he had human hands that one day." The female pondered aloud slipping into the warmth of the water.
"Oh well, tomorrow I'll let him go and that will be that."
At first her voice sounded happy but slowly she realized that she would be alone again.
*These past six weeks with him have been great, do I really want him to go...
With those thoughts rested in her mind she began finishing up her bath.
"I'd better just enjoy the time while he's still here."
Wrapping a warm, clean, towel around her figure and another on her head to dry her hair, she stepped out of the bathroom to walk to her bedroom... but something else distracted her... in the den...
*******************
*Am... am I finished changing? Yoko silently thought standing up fully.
"I-is my voice back? Good now I can talk rather than bark."
Starting towards the exit, Yoko heard a screech from behind.
Just as he was turning around, he was hit over the head with a book and was laying on the floor out cold.
Gem, being surprised rather than frightened, had hit the kitsune over the head with a dictionary... a Japanese/English one too making it extra heavy.
"That'll teach that crook... hey wait a minute."
The female leaned over and picked up the foxes limp tail and began lightly stroking his soft ears.
"Oh... my... uh oh, the fox I was just helping was a spirit fox, not an animal fox... that means this must be him...ohmygosh!" the auburn haired girl gasped quickly placing both hands over her mouth.
*I gave him a bath... no wonder he was trying to avoid me. Well, live and learn.
Her face began slowly glowing at the thought of her mistake.
*I hope he's alright... maybe he'd like to stay.... No! give it up Gem, there is no hope for you in your love life.
As she was debating these thoughts in her head, the fox began to slightly moan.
"Oh gosh, better tend to him first."
She lifted him up and carefully placed him on the couch then went into the kitchen to retrieve a warm compress.
"There ya go buddy... this should slow some swelling down, so sorry."
*Why am I talking to him... he's knocked out... well this really proves how much I really need someone here to talk to... grrr, get those damn thoughts out of your mind... it-is-hopeless
"Although," she began thinking aloud again, "he is... kind of cute... that's it I'll ask him if he would like to stay or not... and if he doesn't oh well and if he does... that's his choice... besides I bet he'd like to stay here anyway, not that I like him or anything. Oh look at me I'm talking to myself again... heh, time to shut up now."
As she began exiting the room to go to bed, she took one last glance at him and had one more thought.
*I really hope he chooses to stay...
With those thoughts, she blew out the candle and left.
