Chapter 2

Love thought to be lost

During the couple of hours spent on laying on an uncomfortable hospital bed and having his limbs checked constantly to see if they are reacting properly to his nerve system as well as keeping a full function, the next couple hours was for his parents to spend signing papers and making payments for the bills of the room, the treatments, and of course the pricing on the mechanical limbs, soon enough Kirin was out of the Hospital and back in his home where his beloved couch was, much more cozy than the dreaded beds at the hospital.

"Oh…thank god the couch, how I have missed you so." Kirin spoke freely as though he was floating over clouds with the couch just in front of him, like two lovers finally back together again. Kirin just fell face first into the couch cushions and welcomed their soft pillowy goodness, not caring for the pain to his nose or to his jaw or any other part of his face or body, he just wanted to lay down on something "with" a mattress and not with so many metal springs sticking out.

Zagin started to chuckle at the reaction of his grandson and crossed his arms, he smiled gently down at the resting cerinian boy and turned to his daughter with a questioning look.

"Is he always like that?" Zagin asked Krystal as he eyed Kirin and Krystal back and forth, making Krystal giggle slightly.

"No…sometimes he balances the table on his head." Krystal chuckled, such a response made Zagin now have questions about the strength, let alone the sanity, of his grandson. Krystal got on her coat which was a long dark sapphire furry coat with a lovely black trimming around the neck and sleeve areas, she opened the door and stepped aside, letting Fox, Zagin, and Kira, an elderly cerinian female wearing a soft blue robe with a white sash and her hair let loose around her shoulders. Krystal then snapped her fingers rapidly to Kirin, catching his almost asleep attention and smiled. "Kirin, listen, Fox and me are going to show my parents the town, I want no trashing the place, no over eating, and no destructive behavior outside of this house, okay young man?"

"Can do." Kiring mumbled to her and flopped his head back down on the cushion of the comfy couch.

And with those words they were off and away from the home, leaving it only guarded to their security systems and to their son, Kirin sighed loudly and managed to grab the remote from the coffee table near the couch and turn on the television with the remote's power button, turning the volume to a high level and switching the channel to something more that fitted his needs: MTV. Watching MTV Rock music videos was one of his favorite things to do on an afternoon like this, Kirin loved to listen to System of a down and many other bands, but what angered him of when he was watching videos was disruptions that prevented him from enjoying his rest and there was someone knocking on the door loud enough to be labled a "disruption". Kirin sprung to his feet and snarled, stomping towards the door of his home and took hold of the knob, he opened the door with anger quickly, but then calmed instantly as though he was lost in a trance. There was a brown vixen, long golden hair flowing down her back standing in front of him.

"Kirin?" The vixen asked gently, her voice was gentle and sweet, a real heart warmer.

"How do you know my name?" Kirin asked quickly, no one else would know his name unless they were part of the government, his parents, family, or friends.

"It's me, Katrina." The vixen spoke again, stepping inside his home slightly, giving Kirin to think her over.

Kirin looked closely at the Vixen with a questioning look, he wasn't so sure of who she was yet, or how she knew him, but then like a flash back of memories returning, he knew who she was, Katrina was his first friend when he came to corneria as he turned 7, at that time she was 6, now that the years have passed, he was 16 and she was 15, Kirin was actually standing in the presense of his very first friend from corneria, since his very first friend ever would be Kang from Sauria.

"My god, Katrina! I don't believe it, how long has it been?" Kiring exclaimed with joy, he hugged her tightly and smiled, he hadn't seen her in so long.

"Nine years Kirin." Katrina explained to him, she smiled softly and looked into his red iris eyes with her soft emerald iris eyes.

"Wow…I must have lost track." Kirin chuckled and rubbed his head, he didn't realize how forgetful he could possibly be.

Katrina started to giggle, such a lovely tone that rang into Kirin's ears like the choir of a thousand song birds, Kirin laughed at his own stupidity and smiled down at her, not knowing of the situation to feel insulted or complemented.

"Kirin, you always had a way to make me smile…that why I came back." Katrina spoke softly and hugged around him, resting her head on his chest and looked up at him.

Kirin couldn't say anything as he was in too much of a happy and shocked mood that he has seen her after such a long time has passed, he just looked deep into Katrina's emerald eyes, her medium fox ears slightly like a fennecs but shorter, and just by poking them made them twitch and flick.

"Katrina…I missed you for so long." Kirin gently spoke down to her and sighed, he felt it was his fault for not keeping in touch with her after such a long period of time.

"We have been apart for a long time, so why don't we try connecting?" Katrina smiled, a hint of something confusing to Kirin was in her eye, he didn't understand her meaning quite clearly.

"I don't understand your-" was all that got pass Kirin's lips as Katrina pressed her lips to his gently and let out a gentle noise of satisfaction, it seemed like that kiss had lasted forever between the two foxes. Like instinct had taken place within his heart and mind, Kirin pulled her close to his body and kissed her as well, then started to work his way to her neck, tasting her neck gently.

"Oh…Kirin." Katrina begged and leaned her head back, exposing her neck fully to Kirin.

Kirin loved the sound of her begging voice, instinct taking more and more control of his mind, he continued his work on her, advancing on her, tasting and feeling. A soft trip over the arm rest of the couch and they fell over onto the couch gently, Kirin just looked up at her with his ruby eyes fixed on her emerald eyes, a soft smile on her face as now it was her turn to make her move on him, she made her way down to his chest and pressed the side of her head to his soft, furry, exposed chest, rubbing her cheek against him, listening to his heart beating fast like the drums of war.

Kirin slowly crept his paw towards Katrina's strings on the back of her leather vest like corset, untying the knots slowly so that he wouldn't ruin them or get them stuck, slowly sliding the leather corset vest off of her body and exposing her soft breasts cupped by a tight pink bra; she did the same with his red coat, unbuckling the two belts on the front of his jacket that held the coat close to his body but letting the back flutter freely through the wind whenever he walked, and threw it across the room onto the chair.

Kirin then started to move his paws toward her glittery pink pants and took hold of them by the thighs gently, slowly sliding them down her beautiful legs and off of her, then proceeding by throwing them behind him onto the nightstand close to the couch for drinks and food for movie nights, Katrina just crawled up through Kirin's shirt and poked the tip of her muzzle out, the two kissed each other again gently and tasted each other again.

Instinct forcing down onto him, Kirin took hold of his shirt and ripped it clean off of his body, it was an old shirt anyway and he was going to get rid of it sooner or later, and moved down her form, away from Katrina's lovely warm neck down to her soft but D cup sized breasts, he rubbed his cheek against her, rubbing against them warmly, her warm body becoming hotter by the second, she placed her paws on the back of his neck gently in a hug like fashion and leaned back with him, falling backwards on the couch. Now Kirin was on top of her and it was his turn to make his move.

She started to slowly pull her self towards Kirin and pressed her muzzle to his neck gently, tongue squished to the fur, she slowly licked his neck up to his lips and retracted her tongue back into her mouth, tasting him was a very, very fun activity to her.

"Delicious." Katrina spoke softly, nuzzling Kirin's nose with her own and smiled.

Kirin crept his paws again behind Katrina and took hold of the clipping that held her bra to her soft breasts, his fingers worked like magic as he was successful with unclipping her bra from her lovely form, and gently placed it to the side of her, and he rested on her breasts like they were soft pillows, gently placing one paw on her thigh and his other paw onto her breast. Like a lustious reaction, she placed her paw over his paw that was on her breast, clenching it hard enough to make him grope and squeeze her, she whimpered softly with pleasure, but she loved it all the better, she slid through his legs and started to kiss his chest gently, her soft lips pressing to his fur and skin, Kirin slid down as well and cuddled with her, the two gave each other a soft look, her emerald eyes, his ruby eyes, they couldn't stop looking at each other with the same soft look, until they broke the minor silence by giving another long kiss.

"Kirin…I love you." Katrina hugged and pressed to him, letting her feelings for him out pass her lips, she pressed her warm body to his, wrapping around him gently but with a soft tight grip.

"Love?" Kirin asked, something he hadn't really "experienced" yet, and yet this is a cerinian who put his life on the line twice, got kidnapped, became a hero of a planet, saved a city from destruction, and yet this was the one thing he knew nothing about.

Katrina's face froze with confusion and she looked up into his eyes with her brow raised, Did Kirin know what love was at all? Didn't he ever think about what it is lke to feel love? To experience it?

"You don't know what that is?" Katrina asked him with concern in her voice.

"I've heard of it, but I thought I never feel it." Kiring replied to her and scratched his head.

Katrina smiled again and let out a sigh of relief, she wrapped her arms around him gently and smiled softly up at him, slowly rolling him onto his side so that she wouldn't feel so crushed.

"Well then let me help you with that." Katrina smiled and spoke again.

Katrina pressed her lips to his again and gently slid her tongue along his, Kirin moved both his paws to her back and started to massage her spine and several muscle areas, she pulled herself closer to him, pressing flat to his body and her muzzle reached for one of his ears, she started to nibble on his ear gently like a kit, Kiring smiled at her and he returned the nibbling with nuzzling her face gently, she just spoke a soft "awww" and pulled him closer to him, like she was falling into him and she didn't want to resist.

Kirin started to rub her back again and worked his fingers into her spine and muscles, she couldn't believe his massage work, his right arm felt nice but his left arm felt like a professional, Katrina moved up like a worm and held Kirin's head to her shoulder, her paw gently placed itself on the side of his face, turning him to her for another soft look at each others eyes.

"I never want this day to end." Katrina spoke softly to him and smiled softly.

"Neither do I, Katrina." Kiring spoke to her and smiled softly as well.

Kirin's soft smile then turned to a sad look on his face, he felt depressed about a certain matter he had not spoke of to Katrina yet, involving his limbs and the incident from this morning. Of course Katrina wouldn't know of this, but she wouldn't even look at his limbs since her gaze was too fixed on Kirin's eyes, but then again, his arm and leg wrapped in a special cloth that really could hide the features of his limbs.

"Did I fail at something…it was the nuzzling that killed the moment, wasn't it?" Katrina asked him gently, she also started to become sad, drawn by Kirin's sadness.

"No it was nothing, everything you did was great, wonderful actually, it's just…I've been trying to hide what happened to me from you that now I feel...terrible for keeping it from you." Kirin told her and looked to the special clothes that wrapped his arm and leg, slowly he took off the arm cloth he wrapped around his left arm and revealed its metallic form, then at the same time removed the other special cloth and revealed his left leg, also metallic; Katrina looked at Kirin with fear and concern, her face just asking how this happened to him. "I tried something that I should've thought through first…and I had a price to pay when it was a successful cast."

"…Now I know why your left paw was so cold." Katrina rubbed her lip and finally spoke, what was labled, an "obviously coming statement".

"You don't know how many time I hear that." Kirin replied to her and chuckled, she giggled with him and kissed him again, and gave Kirin another full body hug.

Katrina then stood up, collected her cloths and put them back on of course, not many would agree with a beautiful, yet naked, vixen running around the city, too many religious types an all that, Kirin did the same, but with no shirt since he tore it from his body and the "just coat" attire gave him a cool look, keeping this appearance like that, after taking a breather, he laid back down onto the couch.

"Well my house is on the high street near the electronics market, come visit sometime…when no one else is home, okay?" Katrina giggled and waved to him as she opened the door to the outside.

Kirin just nodded his head and smiled, he didn't have many words to say, let alone any words, and with that Katrina was off and away from his house to her home, leaving the address to her house on the coffee table near the couch for Kirin to see and read later; Kirin actually felt what it was like to feel for someone else with the same feelings that his parents felt for each other, how any couple felt for each other, what Fox and Krystal felt that was the most special thing in their lives, is this what love felt like?

30 minutes later

"Kirin, were home." Krystal's voice spoke from the door as it opened and the four foxes stepped inside to the warm and lovely home.

Kirin had fallen asleep on the couch with Katrina's address number in his paws, he seemed happy while he asleep, no doubt he was dreaming something good or perhaps remembering the great afternoon he had with Katrina, Fox wondered what happened inside the living room since many of the pillows was a mess and there seemed to be minor signs of struggle, not to mention the smell of a buttery fragrance that lingered in the air, he knew that Krystal was always using a more attractive scent of blue roses, but this scent was different, far different than anything that Krystal, or even Kirin, would use, though after such a thought, he prayed his son wasn't going transvestite. Fox didn't like whatever Kirin did here, not one bit, it was filled with too much suspision.

"Computer, show me what happened one hour ago." Fox commanded and a couple beeps could be heard as the security system prepared a small screen for the events in the previous hour, Fox waited for the screen to be done loading the information, he wanted to know exactly where this scent came from and why it involved Kirin, then his face was filled with shock as to see Katrina and Kirin and their "Session", Krystal looked away with a red shading around her cheeks, she couldn't believe what she saw, and thankfully Zagin and Kira didn't see this.

"Well fox…he was bound to do it sometime." Krystal sighed and spoke to fox softly, gently rubbing his back

"I know! But why in the living room?" Fox scratched his head, he couldn't think clearly of this matter, he defeated andross, TWICE, saved dozens of planets, and destroyed the aparoid queen, yet he wasn't prepared for this at all.

"Well don't go jumping down his throat when he wakes up, he had his pants on, that's all that matters, right?" Krystal asked fox and gently rubbed his cheek with her paw, soft blue fur caressing slightly rough white and orange fur.

Fox just went back to watching, though he didn't want to at all, but many of the things that occured in this video seemed familiar, some of these moves Kirin was using was learned off of him…and some Fox didn't even know about, some he never even thought about.

"He can do that? That can be done?" Fox slightly mumbled, as old sayings say that the teacher teaches the student, now it seems that the student must teach the teacher.

"What Fox?" Krystal asked him when she couldn't really interpret what he mumbled.

"Oh nothing." Fox simply shrugged and rubbed his muzzle, the teacher was learning.

Fox thought for a while as he examined the tape, as a teacher learning new things, a teacher would want to test out those that he has learned; Fox slowly turned and looked at Krystal, he had a smile on his face, more of a grin actually, indeed the teacher wanted to try out what he learned, and what better than the blue vixen that stood that stood within his presense.

"Say, why don't you go up stairs and I'll be right up with you, ok?" Fox asked her and smiled, patting her shoulder gently and rubbed the muscle with his thumb.

Krystal looked at him with a gentle but confused fast, but then she just shrugged and went up the stairs as he asked, heading for the bedroom to change out of her stuffy coat and into her night gown, Fox soon following behind her with a grin upon his muzzle.

As their door closed behind Fox, Kirin awoke from the couch and stretched, almost every part of his spine cracked and joints popped, a smug look on his face as he looked at the stairs, the entire time he was on the couch, all a fake.

"Dad, I know the fake sleep always works, you think she's going to get a good time tonight, don't you?" Kirin chuckled and rested upon the couch again, however he wasn't aware of the things he was about to hear in the very near future.

5 minutes later

The sounds of loud moans erupted from the upstairs room that was occupied by the two lovers, the room creeked and the bed slammed on the floor rapidly, such thin walls could not hold their sounds within the room, it spread out into the house, unstoppable and mind blowing; Kirin just curled up tightly into a puffy fur ball with his tail wrapped around him, he was terrified of what ever was happening behind that door that contained his parents, he couldn't stop listening, his ears wouldn't allow him silence nor would the noise above either.

The sound, the eerie sound that shot through his ears, his mothering screaming through desire and pleasure, it shot through his ear drums like a gun just went off right beside him, deafening and painful, his ear drums rung and the pain was unbearable, Kirin cupped his ears quickly and as tightly as he could possible get, trying so hard not to listen his mothers screams of pleasure, but it was impossible, hopelessly impossible, it slithered through his fingers and into his ears.

The sound became too unbearable, striking his ears like an assault from sonic cannons, it was finally time that he would have to escape the sound, any longer and surely enough, out of such agony, he would go deaf, instantly Kirin shot to his feet and ran out of the house as fast as his normal speed would take him, he couldn't stand it anymore, the sound nearly made his ears bleed.

"Jeez dad, steal my moves then use them on mom…bastard..." Kirin shuddered at the mere thought of his father taking his ideas and using them for himself, but as long as he was away from the area of the sexual noises taking place, he couldn't really care whatever happened now, a brand new evil could strike corneria and he would be grateful just as long as he was away from the noise.

Kirin thought that it would be easier to find peace and quiet at anothers house, and what better than the peace and quiet of the O'Donnel home, where his good buddy Connor lived. It didn't take Kirin very long to make it over to the O'Donnel home, since they lived next door, but this wasn't just any house of course, no, this was a four story house, Connor's father, Wolf O' Donnel, was rich a very rich man after immagrating to corneria after the final confrontation with the aparoids, but Connor wasn't as successful as him and his design plans as well as formation strategies, but his skills in such things teenagers are best at made him just as equal, tournaments that required the most greatest gamers was his area of expertise in conquering those around him, that was his trade of profit, and he was very well trained in it.

Kirin knocked on the door gently, seeing how that such a house would have a good echo system even to a stomp, slowly his attention turned towards his home and saw through window of his parents room, it was wide open but the curtains hid them, only their silouettes could be seen like a horrible shadow puppet show, the sexual scent that flew from that room as the two positioned on each other only to unleash more feminine moaning from his mother as the silouette couldn't hide the sexual assault upon her chest; Kirin nearly threw up and forced himself to turn back to the O'Donnel door.

"…Dear god save me from those two." Kirin thought grimly, as long as he could get his peace, then nothing else would matter if he could be free from that sound.

Connor opened the door, revealing his plump wolfish form to kirin, wearing his white pants with black chains and a long baggy black tanktop to help cover over his big gut, several ear piercings hung from his ears, and his black hair with a crimson tips hung around his head, he lifted his head and looked at Kirin with an almost asleep face. A yawn came forth from his muzzle.

"Hey Kirin, what's-"

Krystals moaning voice shrieked over them, like a howl of the wolf to the full moon, full of lust and satisfaction. Connor turned his gaze towards the window of the two Mcclouds, quickly pulling Kirin inside his humble home and away from the disturbing images of that window. Connor looked at his Blue Vulpine friend and placed his paw on his shoulder, unable to show expression as he always looked tired.

"I feel your pain, my blue brother." Connor spoke and proceeded to follow up his statement with a loud yawn.

"How?" Kirin bluntly asked the fatigued wolf, still feeling disturbed by the images of the silhouettes

"I don't know…I'm just being supportive…and I think I'm just gonna..." Connor slowly fell asleep, standing up straight and snoring quite loudly.

Kirin snapped his fingers to wake Connor up, that didn't work; he smacked Connor upside the head, that didn't work either; as a last resort, He gave Connor a swift kick to the nuts, and to put it bluntly, yeah, that woke him up, leaving Connor in a state of pain with eye shot open and blood shot.

"For gods sake, Kirin, what the hell are you trying to do?!" Connor roared in agony as he slouched over and held his crotch in pure pain.

"Connor, you won't believe who I saw today." Kirin finally spoke as though he was waiting for a turn to speak, easily gaining Connor's attention, who finally let go as he felt no more pain.

"Who?" Connor asked with another yawn and scratched his head; Kirin just gave a look to Connor that can basically tell an entire story in one gaze, and then his dull, fatigued face became amazed as well as shocked. "Katrina?"

"Yup." Kirin replied instantly.

Connor laughed, "She's back in Corneria, eh!!" He snorted as he laughed and rubbed his nose, then smirked slightly. "And you must've had some fun with her, I can smell it all over you, my blue brother...she did as well without a doubt."

"And the thing is Connor." Kirin softly spoke, rubbing his chest over his heart.

"Yeah?" Connor asked as he, once again, itched his head.

"Is that I might get a second chance to be with her."
