Chapter 12

"WHAT!?" She asked again.

"Darkrai." I repeated.

"They want us to fight the strongest dark type in the world!? And for what reason!?" She asked.

"Says here that he has been found looming near here and is causing problems with his nightmares. He must of induced mine last night." I told her.

"We should get ready for this, it's time you learned a new move Angela." I told her as I activated the switch that lead to my secret basement.

A panel moved out the way and a small crawl space revealed a ladder that went down. I crawled in and she did to and we both went inside. It was way bigger than my house was. Their was a firing range, a storage area and a training room. We finally reached the bottom of the stairs and we walked down the hallway that lead to the training room.

"What move do you plan on teaching me?" Angela asked.

"Focus blast." I told her, it was one of the few fighting type moves she could learn, a blast of compacted energy that shot out at foes.

We walked into the large room and I walked over to the far wall and pressed on the panel that opened up the wall and revealed a large tv. I typed the move "focus blast" in and it changed to a video of the move being used, Angela watched and studied it before we tested out the move.

"Forget fury swipes and learn focus blast." I told her, she nodded and aimed towards the wall with a large fighting dummy stood.

She pressed her paws together and closed her eyes tightly and an orange ball of energy appeared In her paws, she shot it outward at the dummy, hitting it and obliterating it.

"Good job angel!" I told her with a smile.

She turned to me and gave me a big hug.

"It's been a while since you've called me that." She told me.

The reason I had stopped was because she was fully grown now and it seemed childish at the time to call her that. Now it felt like I was flattering her by calling her that.

"Yeah, it has been." I said as I rubbed my head lightly.

We returned to the living room and thought of what we should do.

"Hey, I know this is off topic but can I ask you something?" Angela asked me.

"Sure what is it?" I asked her.

"When you first found me, it was just me and my mother right? My father wasn't there?" She asked sadly.

"No, he wasn't." I told her as I patted her head and rubbed her ears lightly.

She laid her head in my shirt and I held her there, thoughts of her family made her sad and it made me feel terrible seeing her sad.

"Don't worry about that." I told her gently.

"I'm all alone." She told me.

"You've got me, I'll never leave you." I told her kindly.

"Rick, Is it weird that something is between you and I?" She asked as she pulled away.

"Some people might, some people don't, personally I think that if you love someone, you love someone." I told her.

She looked away and laid down on the couch in silence, when it came to family, she had no one and it made her lonely. I walked over to the couch and sat down beside her, she got up and laid her head against my chest and laid back down.

"Do you think that I could of had siblings?" She asked quietly.

"I'm sorry to say this but, no, if you did they would of been next to you when I found you." I told her sadly.

I quickly tried to think of something that would make her cheer up or be happy.

"You can always make a new family." I said quickly.

"What do you mean?" She asked anxiously.

"You know, have kits and a mate." I told her, scrambling for anything to cheer her up.

"Kits? My own?" She asked quietly as she continued to lay against me.

"Yeah, I would like that." She told me after a brief moment of silence, a small smile had crept onto her face.

"And who will I have them with?" She asked mischievously as she glared at me.

"Um..." I said nervously, the situation had turned on me entirely.

"She's sharp, clever little fox, I've taught you well." I thought to myself.

"He's handsome, strong, and smart. He always comforts me when I'm down, he's always nice to me, and he is always there for me." She told me as she turned to me and pushed herself on top of me slowly.

"And who might he be?" She asked as she looked down upon me.

"Me?" I said nervously.

"Yep! Why are you so nervous, is it that you don't want it to be that way?" She asked sadly.

"No, it's just that... We would have to you know, If you wanted to have kits." I told her nervously.

"Yeah, I know, but I love you and I would be okay with it. Would you?" She asked me.

"Kinda, it's just that we are kinda jumping the gun here." I told her anxiously.

She laid back down onto me with her head on my chest and sighed loudly.

"Also, we would have to retire, it would be too dangerous for them If I was still a mercenary." I added.

"Yeah." She agreed, a little sadness in her voice.

"When will we?" She asked.

"I'm not sure, we have a large surplus of money so maybe soon." I told her as I hugged her.

We laid there for a while until we eventually both fell asleep. I woke up a couple hours later and looked outside, it was now around evening time so I slowly crawled out from beneath Angela.

"Where are you going?" She asked me, half asleep.

"I'm going take a shower." I told her quietly.

"Good, you don't smell very good." She said with a smirk.

As I walked away, I lightly slapped her butt and she let out a little squeak in surprise.

"Like you smell any better." I told her as I walked out.

A shower was something I definitely needed, something to help me think. I went to my shower in my bedroom and I undressed and got in. I turned it on and let the warm water pour down onto my head and down the rest of my body.

"Since I was part of the government, they might just pay me to shut up on the whole mercenary deal, don't want to be too bold about it cause they might just kill me or threaten me to keep me quiet." I thought to myself.

I stood still for a while, thinking and mostly just because I was feeling lazy.

"So thats what It looks like?" I heard someone say.

I jumped in surprise, Angela was staring at me from the outside of the shower, added onto that she was staring at my crouch region.

"Don't look!" I said as I covered it with my hands quickly, my face feeling hot from embarrassment.

"I'm gonna see it sooner or later." She said with a grin as she returned to my bedroom.

I sighed in relief and got to showering so I could get dressed and get out.

"Darkrai. What would he be doing around here anyway?" I asked myself.

"Guess we will find out around midnight tonight." I added.
