SuryalleeChapter 6
Attraction and musings of the different type of kind.
Three a clock in the night, in the middle of nowhere…
" …And you will not stay with me in the same room!" Leons face had taken a deep shade of angry red in the last 30 minutes. All the time he was jelling at the Tao Tie in front of him and tried to get it across to the beast that he wanted him not, in, his, room!
Completely unfazed by his screaming the beast was still smirking at him and longed currently on Leon's bed.
The red hue on the detectives checks remind Tetsu that Leon had still not told him what he dreamed of.
The beast couldn't resist it; he had to tease the man even more.
" Still not wanting to tell me what you meant with your question from before about dreams?" His voice was sweetly…too sweetly!
When he finished his little question, Tetsu moved up from his current place and strode over to the now gapping human to lean into Leon's space in the end. His face where now nearly on the same level as that of Leon, man did he want to lean forward and to kiss the other now!
Leon had just taken a shower and when he came back, the poor cop realized with horror that Jill had put him Tetsu on the eye! His dammed cousin had taken the fox with her in her room and he had now to baby-sit the stupid goat!
And if this wasn't enough, that dammed brat taunted him all the time and teased him with questions about things Leon really did not want to discuses with the Tao Tie in any kind of fashion.
Currently, the beast tried to get him nervous again about his slip from a few hours before…much to Leon's uneasiness, Tetsu did a good job with that…darn it!
The now fully flustered cop tried to avoid the answer to Tetsu´s question with going around the red head and to question him in return something of that Leon already figured out, the beast did not want to talk about too.
"And you? Care to tell me what Ten meant with his comment to Jill? I mean the entire, they are connected to the other crap!"
…!
Now Tetsu made a good resample of a fish for some seconds…. finally, Leon thought, finally I have some quite to think!
He fished after his trousers for some seconds and begun to change back into his clothes. Suddenly Leon stopped this. Why did he feel so shy all out of the sudden? A short glance in Tetsu´s direction showed Leon that the animated animal was watching him all the time with strangely glinting eyes…a shudder went up and down Leon's spine by the look the beast had in his eyes.
He took his only pair of pants with an embarrassed huff and raced practically back to the shower cabin to change in there instead.
Not knowing exactly why he did so, it was just his instinct that told him to better do this if he wanted not to get in serious troubles otherwise.
Leaning now against the backside of the door, Tetsu panted heavily.
For a moment he nearly lost it! If the cop had proceeded and changed in front of him…he shut his eyes tightly at the thought of what would have happened then. Alone the memory of what Leons all too short towel had hided just barely let his breath hitch and come out in shorter pants, the beast tried hard to calm himself down. It was clear for Tetsu that he better staid in his animal form for the rest of the night! Or he would try to do something in the very end he never wanted to do, well not the way he would do it then!
The beast could feel his soul yearn for the touch of his chosen mate. His blood sings to the blood of the other. Shuddering he brought himself slowly back under his iron grip on himself and changed into his full animal form, paws and fur included
Better safe then sorry Tetsu thought dryly, and snorted almost in the same second at his own thoughts…whom was he kidding here anyway?
He knew that he would never be safe around the golden haired cop ever in his live again!
When Leon finally came back, he found Tetsu already settled down on the floor onto one of the many cushions from the bed.
It seemed the beast slept already peacefully and so he made no new fuzz and simply stepped around the ancient beast and crawled inside the sheets of the bed. Leon was tired beyond words; he was it already before Jill suddenly stopped the car.
After some tossing and turning in the bed, Leon finally realized why the animal had persisted to stay in the same room with him.
But it took nearly another hour to convince Leon to admit it to him self and to accept the truth, even he did not want it.
His body refused it to sleep without to have the beast next to him!
Leon sat up in the bed with a groan that could not really be true or could it? He begged silently to any god who would listen that he was wrong and this was simply a reaction of some kind to all the stress of his of late! Still, the fact did not change. He could not find any peace and rest, as long Tetsu was on the floor and he alone in the bed.
" Your body refuses it to let you find your sleep too, or am I wrong?"
Tetsu´s voice sounded strangely drained in Leon's ears. The human refused to look at the beast that currently had laid his head on the side of his bed. The inhuman gaze of two deeply golden colored eyes never leaved Leons face all the time. To Leon's surprise, the other sounded somewhat sad and lonely. Leons gaze meet that of the strange beast next to his bed with silent resignation shown out of his eyes.
Without to let the human another second to rethink over it twice, the Tao Tie crawled hurriedly inside the bed and next to the human.
Well as near Tetsu dared it to do for now, as long Leon was still awake. He did really not want it to startle the man even more as Leon was it already.
Leon could only stare at the mop of reddish brown fur of the Totetsu beside him above the sheets and then he finally gave it up for the moment to think at all. His back hit the cushions behind him in a second after this and another one later Leon was fast asleep already.
Without his knowledge, his arm wound itself around the middle of the body next to his own and hold onto the other for the rest of the night.
Tetsu escaped a content sounding sigh when he felt the male beside him relax finally and then grasp him in his sleep.
His own body had refused it too to let him find some peace for the now, even before they went on this strange trip together, Tetsu had troubles to find some sleep lately. His rational mind had told him that it was a side effect of the beginning of their soul binding.
But never before had the Tao Tie heard of it that it could have these strong effects to both partners when the binding began to work its own magic on them! Then again, he never before mated in his entire live to another living soul on this fucked up planet!
Sighting again, the Totetsu snuggled even closer to the human male beside him and put his snooze in the crock of Leon's bare neck.
He could see perfectly fine in the darkness of the room. The mark on Leons neck had now fully healed, and much to Tetsu´s joy, it scarred out in a full shaped bite mark. The animal went his gaze to the side to look more closely at Leon's relaxed face.
The human looked so innocent, asleep like this.
He wished he could just kiss that cute nose now, or lick along these two soft pillows of flesh that were Leons lips. Instead Tetsu hold himself in check for now and forced his golden eyes to close. With the scent of Leon in his fine nose, Tetsu finally found the needed sleep in the end. He had time enough now to find a way to get what he wanted. The beast realized slowly that what ever Leon did or wanted, his human could not leave him again ever! To scar out like the bite mark had done it, it needed the agreement of the one that received the mark and if it was only his unconscious one!
Leon had unknowingly accepted it already deeply inside his soul to be his mate…all he had do now was to make the brain of Leon accept it too. He knew that this was the hardest of the parts for him! Somehow, Tetsu was suddenly glad that Ten had told Jill and Leons already who he had once been! It took a great problem from his shoulders…a problem that could have cost him Leons trust forever in the end if he had ever found that out from all alone!
Now, with that over and
done with it, the Tao Tie had finally a chance to begin anew.
Only this time, Tetsu
swore silently to himself before the sleep took him; he would not
make such errors again!
Meanwhile the two other occupants from their strange party of people sat facing each other on the bed of their room and played, poker.
"What do you think? Have they killed each other already?"
She played a card out and watched her counterpart furrow his silver brows together at her chose of words and card.
After some seconds the fox tilted his head to the direction he knew Leon and Tetsu had their room and closed his eyes for some more seconds.
When the fox opened his red eyes again he grinned at her.
"Nope, I fear I have to inform you that both are fast asleep now and that I want to see your cards!"
Now Jill was the one who
narrowed her eyes at the sly smile of the Kitsune in front of her.
What had the dammed fox
on his hand now again? She was sure that she had mixed the cards
right this time, with no chance for Ten to change them to his fortune
this time!
With a wry smile, she
finally gave it up and showed him her cards that she had on her hand.
Much to her silent
anger, Ten had again more then her! Darn it! How did the dammed fox
do that all the time?
A big and sudden yawn of her made the silver haired male fox across her smile; he knew she was more tired as she sowed it all the time. Jill was concerned that the two in the other room would go on each other's troths meanwhile she slept so the two had listened to their arguments until they finally silenced down.
And played poker to distract them selves for the meanwhile.
Truth to be told, Ten
had cheated.
All the time to be
honest! She was good, he had to give her that. Her reactions each
time he had managed it to have more on his hand as she had it was
priceless to watch! To trick a Kitsune out was something Ten would
never let her do twice! This female had done that much too often in
the last hours for his likening already. He had to keep up his kinds
responsibilities here.
Much to his constant
amusement she gave it never up to try to come after his tricks all
the time but she was too tired to catch him chant under his breath
some of his spells to make the cards give him the higher ones out all
the time.
She looks like a child
when she does that, he thought when he saw her yawn again and then
rub her eyes after it.
"We both should sleep
too. It's already very early in the morning and you have to drive
this vehicle later again." He put down the cards and began to
gather them back inside their box. Then he took them away again in
one of his hidden pockets on his strange black cloths.
A short nod from the
female across him was his only answer this time.
"I will sleep on the
couch, don't worry about that" He grinned at her one of his
famous grins.
"Except you do not
want me sleep here beside you on the bed of course" Ten loved it to
tease her, she made nearly as comical faces as Leon did it all the
time too then! The fox just couldn't resist it to try it; the
moment was too good to pass.
She surprised the
Kitsune with a sweetly smile that showed him some of her blunt but
nothingness hard teeth when she answered him in a rather dangerously
honey sweet voice in the same teasing manner.
"Of course not Ten
Chan! Why should I have something against You in my bed? It is only
your funeral after all that you risk…." The rest the woman let
hang in the air.
Gulping the fox decided
it wasn't good to find out what she meant exactly with this and
scratched his head with a rather nervous smile of his own.
Before he hurried to
replace his body on her bed with the air of the room and went to the
couch, fast!
He maybe was
a Kitsune but she was after all a female, and in Ten's memory it
had never brought him something good when he had crossed the wrath of
one of them!
Teasing was one thing for the fox…but to live out the consequences of them was never a good thing.
After several minutes,
when he was finally sure that Jill was really asleep, Ten got up
again and over to the sleeping female in the bed.
His red eyes watched her
sleeping, as if his mind had a will of its own.He had now time and muse
enough to really look at the cousin of Tetsu´s mate to be
without to fear to get caught from her all the time.The woman had honey
colored golden and not as he had first thought of it, brown hair.
Seems he thought to himself the color gold is a part of the family genetic. Her eyes he knew where blue, just like Leons too and she had a rather appealing body too. Long legs, a small waist and all other in the right places what should be there even more as it was normally the fact by her species.
To his surprise, Ten found this female rather attracting with each passing second. With a smirk on his lips the fox did shake his head at himself for a second.
Well, this was new for him.
To find out that he was
attracted to a female and a human female nonetheless, was something
that happened not very often to Ten.
His species ways of
lovemaking could kill a human.It was never wise for
him to try to bite from forbidden fruits! He found that out a long
time ago…in not the nicest of ways to get that out in the open.
Now smiling sadly at the
memory the fox tried to will these memories away out of his mind.
It was already to fare
gone, his straying hands that meanwhile he was occupied with his
thoughts, had taken hold on one of Jill's long tresses told him
that all to clearly.
Sighting softly the
animated beast got up again and away from the female that slept
peacefully unaware of Tens current problems in her bed.
From the couch he could see her face perfectly even in the dark.
This was indeed an
interesting adventure for him. Even more so since he would now have a
problem to avoid it to fall even more for the female in his currently
view.
He forced his gaze away
from the peacefully sleeping face of the human women.
The only way for an
ancient being like him to have some fun without any problems was to
have partners that could take the among of power he had collected
over the years in his body, mind and soul.
The Tao Tie and he had been lovers for benefits since awhile because they both had the same problems with their own ways of mating another being. Both races where aggressive and dominating lovers and both races had the same tendencies to claw at their partners during sexual encounters or to bite them that dangerously that they could kill them in the heat of the moment. Tao Tie as Kitsune also shared one other similarity in this; they had the tendencies to Eat their partners in the end or to kill them during their so-called Lovemaking!
Totetsus really ate their partner's bodies often after they had their fun.
His kind could do something nearly similar during the sex already. As he had told them before, his main foot wasn't a normal one so to speak. His soul took simple explained over and then stole every ounce of energy that the partner had in the soul the very moment they found their release in the act…sometimes even earlier as that! And this then killed their partner as surely as the teeth of the Tao Tie or their claws did that to their sexual partners! In this way, Ten had in his younger days already killed many humans who dared it to try to bed a Kitsune in human form!
He was no cruel soul but not a human either, so his way of thoughts about this were highly different of that of a human.
When he was younger he had once wanted to bed one human…. he had really liked the young Samurai. But in the end his powers had taken over against his will and so Ten had killed his much younger lover in the end.
Sighting he closed his
eyes for a minute or two and tried to will the pictures that went
through his mind out of it again.
It gave only one way for
him as it did for Tetsu to mate with a human without to risk this
happen.He had to bind the
chosen human to his own soul and to take the human with this as his
own final mate.His red eyes opened
again.Against his will they
kept straying until they found the sleeping face of Jill again across
the room in her bed.
He was now older then
the most of his kind could dream of to ever come near too be. Many of
his species had tried it without to succeed to gain the interest of
Ten in this kind of way. Some he had been a lover with for longer as
Jill even lived in this world…some others he never even looked at
twice…some others he did just kill. Even other species had tried it
to gain the fox as their final partner but Ten never took one of them
or the others as his mate.
Female, male it did not
matter to him what gender they were only if he found pleasure in them
and with them.
And now…. this!
He grinned dryly at the
female; Ten knew he should have seen it coming in the beginning. Now
it was too late already for him to simply ignore it forcefully and to
stop himself in time to want…more.
Laughing softly with dry
humor at him self, the fox realized why the two bakas had looked at
him and Jill the way they did, when they both had the strange
conversation about his number of tails!
Now their sudden
interest made sense to Ten, both bakas must have feel it beginning
without to realize it fully.
A sudden feeling of
loneliness swapped over the fox in human disguise.
Ten
was tired of living simply alone of his own. That was why he let the
D´s sell him to humans so often. He wanted to distract himself
all the time from feeling lonely and his human masters did
that mostly for a while perfectly for him. As the little girl and her
family did it for awhile…
But if he gave in…and
gave up his solitary stile of living…he would never be alone
again…as long he and his mate lived…. never alone…
His gaze took a
thoughtfully look when the eyes meet the sleeping figure on the bed
again.He popped himself up on
one elbow and looked thoughtfully at Jill from his spot on the couch.Tetsu had taken a human
as his mate, fact.
And Leon was the god's knew, not the easiest person to have as that! He laughs at the thought. The Tao Tie would have his paws full with that man! Or should he better say, hands this time? Again a fit of laugher escaped Ten before he could stop it.
She was interesting
enough for him to distract him for the entire day from his dark
moods. Her remarks were amusing and kept him in suspense all the
time. She knew allot for a human…where he still had no clue of or
how she gained the information's in the first place!
Her laugher was
infectious and when she smiled…. Ten shake his head: with these
kind of thoughts he went nowhere in the moment!
Calm, curios, smart and
deadly.
Jill would have made a good Kitsune or even normal female fox if she had born as one. He could feel her own loneliness all the time coming of out of her soul to call out at his own, it seem to match his own in more then one way only. Why she felt this way was beyond the fox! She was sure attractive enough to even catch his interest, so Jill naturally had to catch that of the males of her own species too. Why was she then alone still? Even human males could not really be that dense…or?
The woman had a great
sense of dry humor and even more fun to tease others as far he saw
it.
Ten did shake his head
again, and yet, Jill was still single.It was nearly comical to
realize that the males of her kind seem to be stupid enough to let
them fool from her tough composure all the time.
Jill was tough and rough if needed but that did not mean from what Ten saw that she was completely so. She just was a little too free-living and a true freedom loving soul, that was all. Jill respected freedom and loved her own more then anything else.
He could understand and
respect that too. After all this had been one of his main points to
avoid until now to let himself get caught from one of his so called
wane be lovers all the time.
He realized that this
was a point they both shared in a way with the other.
Both did not want to be
bound too tightly to another who could not respect that.
He catches himself to sight out for the x-th time this night at nothing at all…. seems, he thought, she had taken over more space in my thoughts as I had thought of that she already had.
Now groaning the Kitsune forcefully slapped himself and closed his eyes fully; he had serous problems to think about now. Concentrating all around a matter he really did not like much to address it with a name for now! Shortly the question of how Tetsu had dealt with all of this all the time crossed his thoughts. Only to vanish shortly after it had come into his focus to make room for other important problems. His sharp mind gave him no other chance to act different as that. Ten lived too long on this earth and was to smart to ignore it any longer that he seem to have chosen a potential mate without to even know that in the first beginning.
Ten cursed lowly under his breath; why had his live always to be this complicated!
The next day woke Jill up with sunshine and an empty spot on the couch the fox had occupied the night before. Paying it no mind for now she just got up and went for a shower.
In the other room of the hotel, Tetsu awoke from pleasantly dreams for the first time since the stupid bite had happened in the shop. Fully contend with him and at ease with the world for once. Pondering over this for some seconds he finally got the conclusion that it had to be that Leon was sleeping beside him still.
Much to his own wonder,
the cop had not tried to get away from him meanwhile he was out. Leon
was still next to him under the covers and slept peacefully his face
buried slightly in Tetsu´s fur.
Smiling softly, the
normally so aggressive animal felt strangely happy. Even if Leon
still hated him to a certain point when awake, his subconscious did
it not.
This here was proof
enough for him to tell so. How could Tetsu make the stubborn human to
accept the truths and to give into his wishes for Leon to be his mate
in the end?
This, along some other
questions, made the Tao Tie sigh out in resignation shortly; he
needed ideas!Suddenly he was up and
out of the bed in seconds. Where was that fox when you needed him!
Leon awoke only shortly after Tetsu´s departure out of their room.
As crazy as it sounds, he had felt it when the beast leaved the room! Now groaning and yawning all at once, Leon stretched his arms over his head to get the kinks out of his back. He had slept well! Even knowing that the strange murderous beast was still beside him in the bed all the time too. Leon could not help it, but he slept better as in years.
He also got out of his bed and found his way to the shower rooms shortly after.
Tetsu searched after the fox all over the place.
The Kitsune was nowhere in sight! Slightly wondering where the heck Ten could have gone, he finally gave it up for the now and went back inside to others who meanwhile had breakfast. Sitting Indian stile on the bed of Leon and him in the moment. With amusement he saw both avoid the meat related things on their plates. Seems Tens question had a kind of reaction of the different kind, huh? Tetsu smirked at them and gingerly took the meat from their plates and ate it.
Good for him that he had not this kind of
emotional troubles all the time!
Leon watched the now in
human form again, Tetsu snatch their meat from their plates and eat
it with a smirk directed at them two.Jill snickered at his
angry look and went just on to eat her bread with margarine and
cheese onto it.
Suddenly a rather loudly squeak could be heard and then the sickening sound of a set of jaws that closed into something living at the nearly same time ended the horrible sound in a mere second again…. forever. The two humans looked instantly up at the open window from where the sounds had come from, the same thought in their minds at the same time. Both thought it was a cat that had caught a poor mouse right outside of it.
Tetsu did not even flinch; he knew all the time that there was a hunter playing with his food outside of it. For him these sounds were rather normal. Something died all the time to hold another being alive, nothing new. Even to play with its food was nothing new to him, most hunting beings did that in a way too, even he when he had to kill for food. For his current human companions it was a sickening thing to hear the normal sounds of live and dead, they were not used to it, as he was it. They never had before to kill directly for their surviving and then to eat it. Jill and Leon where used to see their meat first when it was already dead and sliced into pieces. He shrugged it off and ate another piece from Leon's plate.
After some minutes the fox finally appeared in the door…with a dead mouse in his mouth!
Jill nearly throw up,
Leon coughs madly at a piece of his last bite that stuck now in his
troth and Tetsu just grinned at the fox, half angry half amused to no
end.
Helping
Leon with his currently problem and nearly toppling him over with the
friendly pats on his back, Tet Chan tried his hardest to look
at least angry at the outside at him.
Ten just shrugged it of and began to eat his catch without to pay them all any further mind. Or so it seemed to them.
In his mind he knew all the time what they did now. His main focus was on the female beside Tet and Leon. Jill recovered soon and instead to yell or to make nasty comments at his dare to eat in their room a mouse, she just tried to avoid to look at him meanwhile he did that and after some seconds, tried even to eat her meal to an end.
Leon glared for seconds
at the beast on the floor, momentary in its animal form, and then
tried also his hardest to ignore Ten for now.
Tetsu on the other hand
watched the entire drama with interest written clearly in his eyes.
Even D once had told the animals to eat such food in their rooms please, he did not want to scare the other occupants in his shop too much with their natural eating habits. Normally, humans reacted not this calm when they where confronted with this. More the other way around, and then again, now here they all were and nor, Jill or Leon did yell!
Their reactions had been normal if you thought about it twice, then Tens outburst from the night before came across his thoughts and suddenly the two made a sense in their reactions to Tetsu.
He could clearly see how pale Jill was in the moment and how much Leon seem to restrain him self from jumping up and throwing Ten just out of the window. He decided against it to laugh for now and let them simply be. It was already hard enough for the humans to accept some facts as to make it worse for them now by trying to offend them even more.
Ten in the meanwhile found their reaction almost pleasingly.
To be telling the truth, he had thought Leon would throw him out of the window with his dead mouse together in his fury! Or that one of them would run to the toilettes already…nothing of that happened.
Surprise, surprise, as it seemed the two learned faster as he had thought they would. With humor in the red eyes Ten saw Tetsu finish off everything that looked like meat from their both plates. Trying his hardest not to laugh now, Ten finished his own meal and stretched out full length on the floor in contentment to have a full belly.
The not eatable
leftovers of the former mouse still lay beside him all the time.
With
a big and toothy yawn the fox went to lie on his back and played dead
fox to the others, hanging tongue and upwards-rolled eyes
included.
Tetsu snickered at the
playfully mood of the Kitsune, a longtime used now to his friends
sometimes crazy jokes.
Leon snorted and tried
it to ignore the stupid acting thing on the floor.
Jill
rolled her eyes at Tens dead fox act next to the dead and
eaten mouse and throws a pillow at him while shaking her head.
Finally they all moved out of the rooms and back to their car.
A room cleaner found long after their departure from the motel the leftovers of the mouse in a corner of the room. Cursing the man put them away to the trash and mumbled something about crazy people all the way out of the rooms.
They sat as before now
in the vehicle again.
Leon and Tetsu sitting
in the back, and Jill with the Kitsune in the front.
All the time she drove the car in the direction Mr. Adkonellys house, the women saw the fox lick his chops in the seat next to her. Much to her constantly growing unease. She knew he did that only to tease her all the time…. but it make her as angry in the same way as it would have without the knowledge of it.
Suddenly Ten changed
back to his human form and grinned a foxy grin at her. He knew
exactly how much she wanted to kick him for his teasing all the time!
Simply closing his red
gaze and leaning back in the cushion of the seat he occupied, the fox
was still much pleased for now.
Without to know it, Jill
just had passed a test of Ten and that with ease He had wanted to see
how she would react and Leon too. Now to some other things, the fox
thought.
"When do we arrive at the old mans house?"
He felt it more as he did actually see it when Jill shrugged her shoulders at him.
"Maybe I a few minutes. If I remember correctly his house should be around the next corner of this street. Why do you ask?"
"I am bored!"
Ten opened his eyes
again and lay his head to the side to watch the women drive the car.
Out of the corners of
his eyes Ten could see Leon sit next to a snoring Tetsu in the back
and staring off into space.
"Jill, are you sure he can know something important? I mean the last time I saw that guy was when Dad had died."
Leon gave her a curios look. His voice had woken the Taotie up from its slumber next to him in the seats. Tetsu also now looked curiously at the female in the front seat, or more at her hair.
Jill nodded without to look in the back.
"Yes, I am. When I
remembered him I also remembered that he had called you never Leon
Orcot the entire time you where in his office to hear what father
told us all through the testament.
He addressed me with my
last name all the time, Amanda also with her last name and so did he
address the rest of the sisters of you too. Only Chris not, but he
was a baby back then and you not too.
You where already over
18 at that time, he should have addressed you in the same fashion as
us all too. Hell, I was even younger then you!"
Leon nodded at this and
went back to his thoughts then.
Tetsu laid his head in
Leons lap fully knowing that the man would probably remove him from
there in the next minute again.
But Leon surprised him,
the human did not even try to do this, just let him stay there and
even began to scratch him behind his ears after awhile.
Tet could practically
hear the questions that run currently through Leons mind.
Without to think he
licked at Leons hand to distract him from his current problems for
the moment.
Leons gaze meet that of
the beast for a second then he sighted out and closed his eyes. It
had no use to let his thoughts run amok inside of him.
Another lick at his hand brought him again back to the reality. Softly petting the beast along his fur Leon suddenly felt happy for the first time that he had the animal here with him. Tetsu seem to know it instinctively when Leon was about to drift deeper into his thoughts as he wanted it.
The two sets of eyes meet each other again. Only this time they did not break away from the look again for a while.
Leon had suddenly the strange feeling of being tied to Totetsus gaze to drown into it. He wasn't even aware of it that the animal suddenly changed shape and that he now had the Tao Tie practically sitting in his lap.
It was like he was spellbound.
For the mystical beast
it was nearly the same, with only one difference; he knew what slowly
was happening here to Leon.
He could hear the blood
pound in his ears, not even really seeing for longer something other
as the blue eyes of the human he wanted soo badly to bed and have for
himself.But before he could go
any further and even kiss Leon, as he suddenly wanted it to do more
then anything else…
"We are here!"
Jill's eyebrows went nearly up to the beginning of her hairline when she got an unsuspected sound from the two in her backseat to the announcement that they had reached the Adkonelly house, as an answer.
Both male behind her groaned loudly out at the same time!
The old man watched a strange group of visitors enter through his garden doors.
Not that Arthur Adkonelly had not awaited it sooner or later to see two of them again in time…but the two others with the two humans where a surprise, even to him!
Silently chuckling, the old man asked himself if these two beings knew that he could see their true forms all the time.
The grey eyes looked more closely at the beast that was held by Leon Orcot.
Its reddish fur/ red hair had a color near to fire or blood. Arthur knew this kind of beasts but had never before seen one with that color in his entire live!
He knew that this beast was something akin to royally under its own species. How had the boy come in the company of a beast like that in the name of the seven hells?
And then the rather amusing fox that the little Jill held there…. he identified it as a Kitsune on the spot.
One, two fife… nine tails? A nine tail? Even he had never before meet one with this amount of power!
These two were rather dangerous beasts and they knew it.
In his human appearance, the fox had silver colored hair and phantom red eyes…Arthur's mind spun around some of his memories to find the name that the strange sight in his garden told him that he knew of.
Ten-maru.
A spirit fox, a trickster, the only nine tailed Kitsune he had ever heard of from Sophia that had this kind of color in eyes and hair or fur. Next to their symbolic goddess in the Japanese religion this one was the only one, as Arthur knew of, that looked this way.
Oh how much he did now miss the old friend of him that had been Jill's grandmother…
The old women had known soo much more of this all as he ever did.
The young girl had grown into a beautiful woman indeed; it was not that he could blame the spirit fox for it to look so contend to be in her hold. Chuckling to himself, Arthur went his eyes again back to Leon and the Tao Tie in his arms.
The boy had also grown into a handsome man.
His younger brother would do the same with the time, Arthur was sure. After all it would have wondered him if it had been otherwise…with that father? No, no wonder he decided.
Chris was better of with his brother, Arthur Adkonelly knew this for certain. Leon was surely here because of his lost memories…how often had Sophia tried with him together to talk some sense into Gareth…he had lost to count a long time ago.
He knew he was out there somewhere, and even now as he was thinking about him, the father of the boys was searching after his sons!
To do such a thing as to try to fool a.it had no use! Arthur knew he could not tell Leon everything for now. Soon, soon enough the young one would come behind his true self all alone, until then he could only tell him and Jill the basics and hope they would all three make it through the rest alive!
His grey eyes closed for a second.
He just hoped that Leon would be ready when his father found him and his brother.
When the old mans eyes opened again, they focused on the two beasts in the human's arms.
These two, Arthur realized it suddenly, could make sure of that.
As powerful as they both where, this beasts could proof to be a big problem for Leons and Chris father or his friends to get a hold on his sons.
Or on Jill too, to speak from the rest also that was there.
She wasn't their real sister, nor was she a normal human either. Just like Chris and Leon too, she was something else.
Only, the girl knew nothing about her upcoming, Leon knew at least, something.
To him it wasn't a wonder how near the two had grown to each other…how often must have both of them felt like outcasts and utterly alone!
And that was completely Gareth's fault!
Chris was another problem that became slowly more as even that.
Thanks to Amanda's ignorance of the truths!
She was just like her father had it been, ignorant to it to the last!
If only his daughter would have been still alive…another sight left his lips and faded out into the nothing around him.
With her dead and later following the dead of Leons mother and his mothers sister duo her drinking, Leon Jill and Chris where now the last next to their father who still where existing.
Jill's father never got it aware and died by a shoot two years after the two had split up for good. Her mother never found with her feet back to earth and died on the following problems of drinking too much into a too short time.
Jill never knew anything.
Leon on the other hand had once known it, at least a little bit of what he was.
Chris was also completely clueless why he had soo many problems with other humans all the time.
He was sure the beasts must have smelled it already on them or noticed it otherwise that something on these two humans wasn't right. Why should they otherwise be here with them?
They both surely belong to one of them and as such their caretaker already should know it also that these humans where no normal ones.
Maybe it was this D Chris always spoke of? Arthur was not sure but he would have bet his live on it if you asked him without to think about it twice.
If this D was the one that two belonged too, then Arthur was more at relived, as he was it for the last 25 years!
He knew a little about these D´s in general and that told him now that these beings could take care of all of them and surely would do that, if he ever became aware of it what these three children really were!
After all, his kind did practically search around the entire planed all the time after them since now a looong time. Arthur knew that even running from them for centuries now, the last of their kind would be safer with a being like D, as they would ever be with the humans with! As much he hated it to practically hand the three over to them, it was their only chance to survive!
For his father it was already too late.
Leons father was not to rescue any longer. He had grown too dangerous and found even more dangerous company with the years…what was why Leons mother had taken their two sons, one born and the other unborn and finally gave in to Gareth's begging's and went to America with them all.
She had hided them here, from them, from their father and from themselves too.
Jill's mother never understands enough of it to realize it how special she really was!
And Amanda, well Amanda grew jealous with the time that her two half brothers where something she never would be. Plus that, the girl still blamed Chris for it that her mother had died by giving birth to him.
Sadly the old man in the end of his 72-year of live realized with sorrow that he had no longer the time or else to prevent what finally would happen anyway in the end. For the sake of these children he loved all so dearly, it was the best to give them over in the hands of others now. Leon would not like this, Arthur was sure, Jill would also not be very pleased when she found out what he intended to do and Chris? Chris was probably the only one of the three that would accept it all at first and without problems.
He could hear them coming near to his front doors.
The eyes turned hard and the entire composure of the old man in the wheelchair straightened a little until his frame showed no longer any sign of it that he had even thought something that concerned them in the slightest.
The two came here to get some answers…well, he would give them both some. Even he was sure they would not really love to hear them.
Somehow this chapter had a mind of its own… and was the hardest to write from all the others before. I originally wanted to write it in a different way…but it came out this way. Makes that any sense?
In the beginning of this story I originally had a complete other story in mind for the two…somehow this entire story begins to have an own live!
As I told before, I also write currently on a Ten / Jill story at the same time…. somehow that seems to occupy my thoughts lately a little too much. Even it is a complete different story as this one here.
Well, now I have two romances running in this…. lets see who I can also pair with who in this…or maybe not? ; Scratches her head; don't know that yet. But it seems this two couples are on a crazy trip here, ne?
I wonder what the old man could tell them…. lets see if I get that soon on paper, err in my computer…. how ever! Until next time,
