Summary;
Ever wondered too why Tetchan never seems to bite Leon in the neck?
Well, this is my little opinion of why Lets say, he made a fatal error this time.
Special note, Please Read!
I am native German! Therefore, naturally I am not so good with my English as a native person. Please beware of grammar and spelling errors and such in the none Beta versions! I have now a beta for this story and Ratromp san will work as fast a beta can, so please be patient and wait until I have the chapters back and will change them then. I will do that as soon I have them as I did it already with my other one-shot, The Mask and the Heart, here.
Short note the one above, my other beta is on vacation momentary,

Chapter 4 Interlude or, fly little Toutetsu, fly…A few cups of coffee, a few hundred miles and a few heated arguments of two humans... not to mention bleats and barks, later, Leon, Jill and two animals gave a strange picture to some strangers who dared to stop at the lonely car stop this night.
It was this comical and
strange that the few other occupants of this rest place could not
tear their eyes away from this completely strange quartet all the
time. The waitress gave it up long ago to tell her /customers/ that
animals were not aloud in here.
After bitten twice
(from a fox and then nearly the same time, from the strange goat-
thing) she just quieted down and stopped it fully.
Who could blame the poor women? You?
Now it was nearly 11 a clock in night and these strange people were still debating over something she could not make sense of. At least they paid well. About that she could not complain…but this goat…. it made her nervous! He looked at her like she ways some steak…Brrrr!
The fox was not better.
At least he left her in
peace, to bad thought, that these animals and that women where with
the handsome blonde all the time!
Just as the thoughts
had crossed her mind a set of golden eyes glared viciously at her and
the goat vanished under the table.
The waitress made that
she got into the kitchen…fast!
Just in time, because
in the very second she got into the kitchen, the goat's talons
scratched against the door.
Leon paid this all no
attention, he just snatched T-Chan by the neck of his fur and brought
him back on the same chair, the goat-thing had occupied all the time.
What had the stupid
animal this time again anyway?
Shrugging it off, he began mindlessly to scratch Tetsu lightly behind the right ear as he had seen it doing D all the time when the beast got agitated in some way. It seemed to work, because T-Chan calmed down and pffft to the door where the poor waitress hided behind from the crazy animal.
Jill, still unbelieving of what Leon told her in the past 3 hours and more, watched the cute scenery with a smirk.
Who could have believed that these two would ever go along?She was also petting an animal, the fox to exact. Still wondering that this beast had really nine tails, the women tried to make sense of what she heard so far. If Leon was correct, and given that his dream/memory was correct, his sister and her cousin Amanda had some splaying to do!
That she and Leon where related was a well kept secret in the presidium.
If someone found out, they would forbid him or her to work as partners. It was a silent ground rule so that no family related problems could come in their work. Married couple could also not work together Her mom was the sister of his and so they where too nearly related, end of story.
What made the entire
situation nearly comical was that the goat seem to know all already
and the fox not She never had thought
that animals could understand humans…now Jill was not longer so
sure; these two had too much intelligence in their inhuman eyes to be
normal!
And thus that, they
belong to D. that alone made her think of it twice before Jill told
somebody that they where only animals!
Jill was not dump!
Somewhere in her mind
the women remembered stories of her childhood Stories about beings
like the fox whose ears she scratched now.
Kitsune, that was it
what others called them.
She also remembered
suddenly some myths about these creatures; what did the Japanese
myths call them again? Trickster? Yes, that had it been.
Her blue eyes strayed
down to meet the two red pools of the beast in her lap.The fox had made
himself home there since they had entered the shop and stayed there
all the time.
Jill smiled down at him
and scratched a little more forcefully at a spot, she discovered
awhile before as a weak spot of the so harmless looking beast.
Snickering the women
saw him close the eyes and practically purr in his delight to be
scratched in that fashion and in that spot.
Then his eyes shoot
open again with a halfhearted snarl, only to meet her mischievous
grin with a pout like look.
Huffing, the fox tried
to look into another direction and refused to look at her again; to
get him with something like this! Jill only smiled and
went on to pet the fox, Leon had told her that his name was Ten-Chan.
His fur felt like spun
silk and somehow it calmed her.
And amused her to no
end to see this creature huffed like this!
Ten-Chan would have
loved it to bite her this very moment! Luckily for the sly female she
was still scratching him in this delicious manner behind his eyes… Now really angry with
himself, the fox tried not to blush, this was a nasty way to get a
fox!
He heard Tetsu snicker
at his actions from the other side.
How embarrassing!
To get caught from the
damned Tao Tie!
Ten had by now
understood as much to put one and one together and now his only
silent question in his mind was; how the hell wanted Tetsu manage it
to get the thickheaded cop to give into the Totetsus wishes for his
ass?
Not to mention that he
would love to know how his friend wanted to explain this all to Leon
in the first place!
Now snickering madly
himself, Ten was sure that his friend better should think twice about
his betrothed before he did something stupid. Because the cop would
shoot him surely a second time if he ever got that out!
His snickers turned
into howl like laughs; this was Priceless!
Now it was Tetsu who
glared at the fox.
Argh! He would never
live this down!
Not only the stupid
nine tail knew now his secret, no, he also laughter at him…. Tetsu
simply wished he could sink into the ground below him!
Now would be a good
time…and to make it even worse, the cursed fox tried to hide his
madly chuckles under the females shirt!
Suddenly the thought of
telling that women What tried currently to hide under her shirt was
more and more appealing for the Totetsu every minute the fox laughter
more.
His teeth grind
dangerously on each other, one minute more and he would eat him!
Leon looked clueless
down on the agitated animal next to him.
What had he now again?
Shrugging his broad
shoulders and calling for the waitress to pay, he got up and took
wisely the beast with him. You could never know where his thoughts,
maybe the beast would eat someone in his fury if he did not hold him
by his pelt!
The waitress refused to come near Leon or the beast, not that he could blame her; snarling and trashing like Tetsu did it momentary. Finally it was Jill who paid the bills and they all where off and out of the truck stop.
Jill shook her tresses
at the funny picture the beast and her cousin made outside the truck
stop.
The beast seemed almost
content to lie in the long arms and with its snout buried into Leon's
neck and shoulder.
She could feel the fox
shake from its laughter, with a curios side look at the beast in her
arms; Jill snickers to herself and opened the doors to her car for
all of them.
Suddenly the beast
known as Tet-Chan was out of Leons grip on him with a mad sounding
growl and so was it the fox out of Jill's.
Within seconds both
humans could only look stunned after the fast chasing and seemingly
gone crazy animals and shake their heads in unison.
It seemed that T-Chan
tried to bite Ten one of his tails off in his fury, Leon doubled
nearly over in seconds from his laughter at the comical picture the
two gave Jill and him meanwhile Jill tried her hardest not to do the
same.
The fox did a
surprisingly good job in avoiding the sharp teeth of the Toutetsu all
the time.
The Tao Tie on the over
hand made a good work on chasing the smaller looking fox around a
tree currently, snarling and hissing all the time like mad! Leon and
Jill could not understand what Tetsu hissed angrily all the time at
Ten, the fox could it all too clearly!
The other ancient beast
cursed him to hell and back with curses even Ten did not know so far.
He decided that Tet came too near for his liking slowly and jumped up
in the tree to catch his breath; man, he had not soo much fun in
ages!
Tetsu glared at the
stupid tree in that the fox now sat and grinned mockingly down at him
from.
He slowly began to hate
botanic live!
He hit the tree trunk
with a paw in his anger, dam…
Suddenly a still laughing Leon caught him by his neck efficiently and throws him not too gently in the backseat of the car.
He licked his lips in
waiting, and just as he thought of it; Ten followed only seconds
after.
Same fashion.
And the chase where on
again…only to be stopped from the female that dared to grasp the
fox just in time and to put him out of the reach of his fangs!
Dammed!
But Tetsu had no time
to complain for long. Because, she showed Leon instead in the
backseat next to him and the fox on the passenger seat next to her.
" I do not like bloody stains on my seats! Got that?"
After a short nod,
coming from all the other occupants of her car, the four where on the
road again and off to their destination.
Ten decided that he
would be thankful to her for the rest of his live for that!
Against all others
meaning of his mind state, the nine tail loved his life!
The Tao Tie would have
made sushi out of him this time…. Ten shuddered but could not help
it; it was too comical to pass.
So, only a few minutes
later he raised his head in the intend to tease the Toutetsu again,
only…
" You know, it's not too late for me to throw you in the backseat again…."
Tetsu licked his chops
in the awaiting; maybe this female had some brain after all? But Ten only gulped and
glared at Jill next to him and then decided it was now a good time
for a nap.
After he saw the stern
look of the women who drove the car currently, he thought it would be
better for now to behave.
This female would do
That!
Leon could only snicker
at this all, as it seems, Jill had all under control here.
He closed his eyes in
fatigue; man was he tired!
Only to open them again
a short time later because a certain animal made itself at home in
his lap…what the heck?
Just before he could
scream murder at the Toutetsu Leons brain suddenly realized the
nearly identical looks of D´s pet and the beast of his memory.
He caught the goat under his short frond legs and held him up to his eyelevel for several minutes.
Tetsu gulped visibly, seems the stupid had found out after all what he had figured out already when he was still in the shop…oh shit!
"Naa, first I thought
you two are the same but now…. I think the same species but not the
same beast. What are you anyway? D told me you're a Toutetsu, what
the hell is that anyway?" Leon fell silent, his mind tried to
absorb what it just put together. He brought the pet down to its
former place in his lap and began mindlessly to pet it. Still
wondering in a side part of his mind that T-Chan had not bitten off
his hand by now.
Was that stupid goat
not supposed to do that normally?
Jill looked at the
entire scene in her back mirror and mused over Leons new out found
fact. So, she thought, the beast look like that one of his dreams? He
was not older then as 8 or nine…. it would have looked much bigger
then to him.
If those two beasts
were really from the same species, why in the nine hells is it then
in D´s pets shop?
Toe…Tet…su?
As in
Tao Tie?
Why is that word so
familiar to me?
She tried to dig out
the memory to that the strange sounding name belonged to, out of her
many memories about myths.
Her grandmother from
her father's side had always told the little Jill from former myths
and stories from all over the world.
The old lady was a
storyteller and used that to gain money still in her age. She had
known tons of old stories and even after soo many years, Jill could
sometimes still hear the old lady speak in her memory…
…Toutetsu also called Tao Tie.
Mystical ancient beasts of the Chinese mythology, man-eating creatures of great power and strength with the face of a man, body of a sheep and horns like a goat. With paws like a tiger and the same sharp claws, they are holy for the people of china and often called two faced, because they can play the harmless animal and then when they have lured you into safety, they attack you and eat you! They are highly dangerous beasts from great power that have even a humanoid form and mostly tend to appear as a harmless sheep. Mostly in the mythology they are known to eat children. They are also known for it to help artists with fueling on positively their imagination and that they eat very much and to love to eat well. Belonging to the so-called spiritual beasts that can be helpful and dangerous at the same time. Also these beats are known to be seductive and alluring, they can easily seduce any being, female or male if they want to. Set in the line of Kami, goddess alike beings in the Asian mythology…
Jill blanched rapidly at the memory.
Her feet hit the stop
pedal right in the middle of the road.
Ten was thrown
unpleasantly from his rest place in the front of the car, Leon's
head hit the passenger seats neck holder and Tetsu practically flow
in the window in the process of the sudden stop!
Within seconds only,
Jill had caught the animal by the neck and thrown him out of the car.
Closing her doors she sung back in her seat and panted heavily…
"Jill? What the hell has gotten into you?"
Ten who had watched the entire scene in silence saw in the look of the women that she knew what Tetsu was in reality. He decided it was time to let some illusions fall away, he knew this women was not to fool!
Still dazzled from the
entire event, T-Chan tried to get his brain back to work.
What had gotten into
this female!
Suddenly he could hear
the voice of her telling Leon and Ten in the car what he was…his
hairs on the neck began to stand up by the chilling tune her voice
held when Jill told her cousin this all.
It was the very same
that she told Leon what her grandmother once had told her, when she
was a child.
Tetsu closed his eyes;
he knew he was blown up this time!
For a long while
nothing as the breathing of all four and the sounds of the wild live
could be heard around them.
Then suddenly a shriek
sounded through the night and Tetsu heard Tens human voice address
the women;
"Uhm, you wouldn't believe me if I told you that it gives for all of this a good explanation…or?"
Two unbelieving blue sets of eyes and one golden cat slit one from outside the window called him silently with unknown agreement to the owners, an idiot at the same time!
Ten grinned sheepishly
at them all and laughs nervously at the three faces all directed at
him in the moment; what could he say?He never said it would
be easy to explain it, or?
He scratched his silvery haired head with the long braid nervously with a clawed hand and tried to look as
harmless as a suddenly fox gone human in a passenger seat, could look
in the eyes of two, with guns armed cops in this confused situation.
Not to mention as charming as only a Kitsune could muster it to do in
such a situation!
Sighting in silent defeat, the nine tail began with a very loooong explanation of the things in general and the shop… on the middle of the road, in the middle of the night..
End of chapter 4
