A/N 11/11/2016: Made minor adjustments to this to help polish this chapter a bit. Also, fair warning, there's lemons in this chapter
A Night to Remember
Everything at the Wilde residence in New Otsu was quiet, with the exception of the crickets cricking at the night, and the cawing of the crows and ravens in the trees. The harvest crescent moon shines down upon the great lake beautifully, with there being enough light to shine down upon the lake's clear waters and reflect like a mirror. And on this peaceful night, Tomoe was currently sitting on the back porch tending to a few Iris flowers she had bought from the flower vender earlier that night. The vixen's attire consists of a gray tank top along with a pair of violet hakama sleeping pants. She pauses for a brief moment and turns towards her left, her eyes gazing towards her muscular nephew calmly, a soft smile forming on her face at the sight of her peaceful relative.
Speaking of Matt Wilde, he was currently sitting inside of the house with his attention focused on the fishing equipment he had received from Iizuka earlier that day. My far, he had already organized the hooks, fishing wire, lures, reels, bait, fishing nets to capture and secure the fish, even a GPS device that can help track fish easier with. Either way, he manages to organize everything without any issue, and was currently working on applying some fishing wire through the circular loops of the fishing rods.
The fox was currently dressed in a pair of black pajama pants with green camouflage stripes on the sides of them, giving the pants a slight military style to them. While the pants themselves were baggy in terms of the fit, his dark cerulean blue tank top said otherwise. In fact, the tank top was tight enough to show most of the musculature on his torso, especially the strongly chiseled abs he had. A pair of black samurai bracers were worn on his forearms and covered the back of his hand-paws.
After taking a good several minutes to get all of the fishing lines through the loopholes, along with attaching a few lures onto the ends of the threads, the fox gently places the fishing rods against the wall across from the futon. He walks towards the back shoji doors and walks outside, gazing towards the lake that was roughly a good fifty yards away from the backyard itself. And as he gazes at the beauty of the lake, he notices Jenny sitting on the sandy shores of Lake Erie. He makes his way towards the shores by heading out of the residence through the backward gate, closing it behind him right after leaving the residence.
Within a matter of seconds, the fox reaches the bunny and looks directly at her, seeing the rabbit sitting down in fetal position. He noticed Jenny was dressed in similar clothing much like his own, with a few distinctions. For instance, while her bottoms were black with camouflage stripes on the side, the fox noticed her bottoms were a pair of short nylon shorts. Her tank top was also the same color as his own, yet unlike his, she bore a fox head design on the chest area of her shirt. Though now that the chest area was mentioned, the neckline of her tank top was low enough to reveal a tasteful amount of her DD-cup cleavage. But that wasn't why he was here. No, he came by her with the intention to keep her company. He takes a seat next to her and rests the palms of his hand-paws against the sandy soils, bending his left leg upward before looking up at the crescent moon in the skies above.
"Its been a long time since I've watched the harvest moon, even if its a crescent one", Matt commented softly, a soft smile forming on his muzzle. The rabbit's turns to her left and gazes at the fox for a moment, seeing a peaceful expression on his face, before turning back to face the moon. But her eyes wouldn't stare at the moon for long, her head lowering enough to where her jaw rests on top of her knees.
"Yeah… and now we have the time", Jenny replied following a soft sigh escaping her mouth. Her eyes close for a prolonged moment and turns her head directly at Matt, who was sitting on the left. "Matt, I keep wondering about our living arrangement… how long do you think they'll let us live up here?" she asked, curious and a bit worried regarding the actions of the clan the fox was involved in.
"Until the rebellion is renewed. That's all I know for now", Matt answered before leaning back against the sandy shores like it were a bed, placing his hand-paws behind his head like a pillow. His eyes gaze upward to the night sky and slowly began to close, a content smile remaining on his muzzle. He was in peace right now, with himself and the environment around him. His eyes close within a few seconds and takes a deep breath through his nose. But as he exhales through his nose, the fox felt something rest on his right pectoral, opening his eyes and noticing the rabbit resting her head on his chest. A content sigh escapes his mouth before wrapping his right arm around the rabbit's torso gently.
The two mammals continue to lie down in a gentle embrace for at least a good half an hour, Jenny's arms having wrapped around the fox's muscular torso tenderly. The fox had occasionally took a glimpse with the stars above, especially with how clear the night sky was and how the stars can be seen as clear as day. But that wasn't the only thing that caught his eye. In fact, he occasionally took a glimpse at the sleeping bunny in his embrace. She looked peaceful in her sleep. Hell, he had to admit she looked cute when she slept. If 'cute' wasn't a derogatory term towards bunnies (when other animals call bunnies 'cute' except from each other), he would definitely tell her how cute she looked when she slept. But hey, I guess some things, positive and negative alike, are best left unsaid, right?
When the half hour had passed, the fox slowly leans his torso upward without waking the sleeping bunny. There was no way he was gonna disturb her from her comfortable slumber, but there was also no way he and Jenny would be sleeping outside without a tent. Suddenly, an idea pops into his mind! The fox wraps his left arm under her legs and his right arm under the upper part of her back, standing up onto his feet-paws and taking her back to the house. The way he carried her was almost like a groom carries his bride after their wedding. Wait a sec, why did he make such a comparison? Nevertheless, he chuckles lightly and opens the wooden gate to the backward with the use of his left hand-paw, only to use his tail to close it with a slightly loud 'clank'. Both of them are in need of rest for tomorrow, especially now they have to start making money to avoid suspicion from any possible Neo-Shogunate armies or clans aligned with them.
The Next Day
All was relatively silent at Lake Erie, with the exception of the occasional chirping of the birds. Practically nothing but a two story yacht occupies the great lake's waters, which was roughly several miles away from the shore near Tomoe's residence. The occupants on the medium sized yacht were both Jenny Bunni and Matt Wilde, both of whom were here for one thing: getting their fishing business started to help avoid suspicion from the Neo-Shogunate authorities. But first thing was first, they needed to catch some fish in order to actually get the fishing business going!
Earlier that day, both Jenny and Matt attended their first day at New Otsu High School thanks to Thrandeer having gotten them registered at school sometime while Matt and Jenny were getting settled at the safe house. Fortunately for Matt, he didn't have to serve the suspension he was given at his previous high school thanks to Thrandeer having left that part out during registration (much to Matt's relief). But if anything were to surprise the two was the fact they literally had every single class together, especially gym class. The reason behind that was unknown to the two, aside from the mammal who got them registered for school.
The instant school let out for the day, the duo immediately drove back to their safe house and gathered the fishing equipment to start their first day as part time fisher mammals. They change out of the clothes they wore at school and dressed into something more appropriate for the job. For instance, Matt was now dressed in only a gray tank top and a pair of black cargo swimming trunks with cerulean blue stripes on the sides, with a pair of shades covering his eyes to keep the sun out of them. As for Jenny, she was dressed in a purple tank top with a pair of midnight black nylon shorts with white stripes on the sides of them. One thing the two shared in common was the fact neither one of them chose to wear any shoes for their first day on the job. Then again, for this particular case, who would need them when fishing is involved.
Roughly about an hour after they began, the two were not having any luck on catching any fish whatsoever. Although the fishing GPS helped provide a valuable location, none of the fish in the area seemed to be taking any of the bait. Matt was currently keeping an eye on the two fishing rod and reels that were laying against the railing of the front deck. As for Jenny, she had went inside to take care of something. What it was, the fox didn't know.
"Damn… so far we haven't caught a damn thing", Matt spoke to himself softly following a shrug, standing up from his blue reclining beach arm chair and walking towards the left side of the front deck. "Perhaps the nets might have some-" the fox began until his ears flicker to the sound of the boat door opening nearby. He turns to his left and his eyes immediately widen at the astonishing sight before him.
Jenny had just come out of the first floor of the yacht holding a folded tanning sun reflector with her right hand-paw and a glass of water with her left. But that wasn't what caught his eye, however. What caught his eye was the articles of clothing she now wore. The bunny was now sporting a string bikini that bore the UK flag on them. The tasteful top bore the top portions of the flag while her tasteful bikini bottoms bore the bottom portion of the flag. My how that two piece fit her curves perfectly, along with how they pressed against her breasts almost tightly. And as his eyes remain fixed upon her, a heavy blush began forming on his face, one that became noticeable to the bunny almost quickly. She giggles slightly as soon as she saw the flustered look on his face, and she already knew why.
"Aw, is my foxy woxy enjoying what he sees?" Jenny asked with a playful tone before slowly swaying her hips and walking towards her orange reclining beach arm chair, which was right next to Matt's seat on the left side.
"I-I… um…"Matt stuttered, his blush becoming heavier much like his eyes widening when she swayed her hips like that. But when she bent over to set her beverage and the tanning sun reflector next to her chair, his blush flusters heavier at the sight of her perfect, round tush of hers. He quickly turns away from her and grabs a hold of the net by the rope, focusing his attention on the fishing net instead of how his shorts were slowly, uncomfortably tightening around the crotch region. As he pulls the rope upwards, the fox's ears flicker to the sound of playful giggles coming from the bunny.
"He-he, you know I'm just teasing you, right", Jenny replied with a tender chuckle before taking a seat on the recliner, grabbing a pair of shades and placing them over her eyes. He turns towards her with a flustered look on his face while she opens the folded tanning sun reflector.
"Yeah", Matt replied with a calm tone of voice, despite the flustered look remaining on his face. Though now that teasing was being mentioned, a playfully sinister grin began forming on his muzzle. "Though two can play at this game, Jen", he commented, catching the rabbit's attention almost immediately. By the time she removed her shades, the fox had managed to quickly remove his shirt and throw it right at his seat, thus revealing his strongly defined muscular torso to the rabbit.
"MATT!" Jenny exclaimed unexpectedly, quickly covering her eyes with only her right arm. Though she couldn't help but sneak a couple of glances towards the fox's strongly defined muscular torso, something he was able to catch rather easily. And he couldn't help but chuckle teasingly while placing his hand-paws onto his waist, just under his oblique muscles.
"You know you can't resist this, Jen", Matt replied before moving his left hand-paw towards his shades and moving them upward, winking playfully at the now heavily flustered rabbit nearby.
"Do I… know that?" Jenny asked, moving her arm away from her eyes and looking at the fox nearby. Her heart began pounding rapidly inside of her chest as she retains her gaze towards him. And surprisingly enough, she found herself standing up from her seat and walking towards him, a cheeky grin forming on her face and wrapping her arms around his waists. "Yes, yes I do", she added, her sapphire blue eyes gazing directly towards Matt's jade green pair.
As their eyes remain locked on one another, her hand-paws unconsciously move up along the strongly defined abs, soon resting on the fox's fluffy neck tuft. Like Jenny, Matt's hand-paws unconsciously move towards her head and began to cup her cheeks, both of their faces becoming flustered towards their own actions. Jenny soon found herself standing onto her toes much like Matt leaning his head down towards hers, their eyes slowly closing as their mouths drew closer to each other. But when their mouths were only a few inches from one another, Matt's ears flicker upon hearing the sound of fast, repetitive clicking noises coming from one of the fishing rods. Both of them turn towards the right side of the front deck and barely notice the fishing wire from the left fishing pole moving rapidly, and that meant only one thing!
"We got ourselves our first catch!" Matt exclaimed and quickly sprints to the fishing pole, pulling the fishing rod up and grabbing the handle of the fishing reel. The fox immediately began rotating the handle of the reel counter-clockwise rapidly and pulling the fishing rod towards him. At first, the wire was lose due to the catch being far away. But all of the sudden, the wire tightens as soon as the wire was reeled in enough to pull the catch towards him. The front end of the fishing pole bends forward as the fox kept rotating the reel counter-clockwise rapidly, although slightly decreased in pace due to how much harder it became to reel in their first catch. And based on how hard it was becoming, the fox immediately knew their catch had to be a big one.
The closer the fox got to reeling in their catch, the harder it became, and the more effort he had to apply in order to continue reeling it in. The fox began to grit his teeth slightly, and the muscles on his arms began to flex noticeably before the rabbit, her eyes now shifting towards the veins that were bulging slightly on his biceps and forearms. Matt's eyes close and growls began to escape his muzzle, which unintentionally causes the bunny's body to tense at the predatory sounds. She didn't back away from the sounds, however, but had remained standing at the spot she was located. The front end of the rod began arching forward almost a hundred eighty degrees, and their catch was without a doubt not too far from the boat. It was now or never!
Grabbing a tight hold on the middle of the fishing rod, the fox pulls the fishing rod towards him and lets out a predatory growl from his muzzle, the muscles on his arms bulging slightly and the veins on his arms bulged just as noticeably. And after pulling the fishing pole towards him and leaning back as he did, their first catch flies out of the water and right at the middle of the front deck. Both mammals quickly turn towards the fish and were immediately surprised at how big it was.
The fish they had caught was a large common carp with scales ranging from a cream color to light tints and dark shades of green. But the colors wasn't what caught their attention, however, but the size of the damn thing! That fish literally had to be roughly thirty eight inches in length, which was much taller than Jenny's own height, and weighing roughly about seventy five pounds. Regardless, the fox couldn't help but grin towards their first catch, especially with something like this.
"Heh, pretty impressive catch, don't you think-" Matt began, but as he turns directly at the rabbit, he notices the shocked, perhaps terrified look on her face, and she was staring right at him. "Jen?" he asked, his tone bearing a strong amount of concern to it right as he reaches his left arm for her. She unexpectedly jerked back from him as he did that, the fox quickly pulling his arm back from her. He wasn't sure why she acted like this at first, but after taking a moment to think, his eyes widen after he immediately figured out why. The predatory growl he made while reeling in the huge fish was the cause of her frightened behavior. He had unintentionally frightened her. His eyes close halfway and turns his head away from her, towards the direction where their first catch was located. "I'm sorry…" he apologized softly, but with a genuinely guilty tone before walking away from the bunny and towards the fish. The fox kneels down in front of the fish and began unhooking the fish from the hooks, but a pair of arms quickly wrapping around his shoulders quickly ceased his actions.
"You have nothing to apologize for, Matt", Jenny replied with a reassuring tone of voice, the fox's gaze shifting directly at the rabbit herself. "I'll admit it frightened me when it happened, but I already know you didn't mean it", she reassured before resting her left cheek on his right.
"Thanks, Jen…" Matt responded softly, a soft sigh escaping his mouth before closing his eyes. The rabbit moves her head away from his and plants a gentle kiss on his right cheek, making the fox blush gently from the action. But he honestly didn't complain at all, he actually welcomed it, loved it even. He turns his head towards hers and gazes directly into her sapphire blue eyes, which glisten beautifully in the sunlight. He could just stare into her eyes for as long as he wanted, and he would be in pure, peaceful tranquility. But the smell of fish interrupted the moment and causes him to turn his attention towards the dish a few meters away. "Mind fetching me another net to use? We need to contain the fish in something until we get home", he requested.
"Sure", Jenny replied with a nod before beginning to dash towards the inside of the ship for the large net. "Go on ahead and check the other net I'm at it! There might be some other fish inside as it is", she suggested right as she enters the inside lounging area of the ship. Matt nods before jogging at the net and grabbing it by the rope, pulling the net up slowly as he did. But something was up! Nets aren't usually this heavy, which meant one thing.
"Looks like we've caught more", Matt thought and continues to pull the rope up towards him, the muscles on his arms flexing slightly with each pull. Jenny returns with the other net right as the fox manages to pull the heavier net up onto the deck. And holy hell where they both surprised at the number of fish they've caught with the net.
Inside of the large net was a huge number of fish ranging from brown and rainbow trouts, yellow and white perch, Smallmouth bass, alewife, even several smaller sized common carps in the mix. Many of the fish were flopping up and down inside of the net as the fox was closing the net tightly, ensuring none of them escape the net without any trouble. With the net secured within seconds, he turns to Jenny and grabs the other net, wrapping it around the larger common carp securely and turning towards the bunny.
"Do you think this is enough?" Matt asked curiously, the rabbit taking a short glance at the fish they've caught before giving him a nod.
"Yeah, I think so", Jenny replied honestly, since based on how many fish she saw in one of the nets, there was no doubt they've caught at least fifty, but no more than eighty at the most. Matt walks towards the other fishing rod and began reeling in the fishing line, bringing the lure back to them quickly before removing the fishing rod from the loopholes holding it by the foam handle. With the lure reeled in, the fox grabs the other from the ground before walking back inside of the yacht lounging area, placing the rods against the wall inside the closet before shutting the door. With the two managing to make a surprisingly large enough catch, both Jenny and Matt call it a day and began heading home for the remainder of the evening.
As soon as the two arrive home, both Matt and Jenny grab the two nets and bring them inside of the house, with Matt carrying the heavier net with the huge number of fish and Jenny carrying the net holding the thirty eight inch long common carp. They open the gates to the backyard and were suddenly surprised with the sight they bestow upon. Tomoe had already set up the tables they would need to place the fish onto, along with the proper utensils and packaging to cut and package the fish properly with. Thank god Matt's aunt did that for them, or otherwise they would've most likely been up through most of the night trying to set up station, cut and package the fish, and disposing of the nasty bits and bones.
With a pair of gloves being put onto their hand-paws, the rabbit and male fox quickly get to work with tending to the fish, with Jenny and Tomoe skinning the thirty eight inch fish properly on one table while Matt took care of the other fish in the second net. Tomoe grabs a cleft from the set of utensils she had placed on the table Jenny was occupying and uses it to sever the large fish from the tail up to its head, where Jenny grabs a large enough knife to cut the scales and unwanted fats off of the carp. Much like them, Matt uses a cleft to sever the larger fish from tail to head while using another knife to sever the scales and icky fats from them.
Skinning the fish was not necessarily an easy matter due to the oils soaking the bodies of the fish, their severed parts having slipped out of their gloved hand-paws quite a few times. But that wasn't the only reason why it was an easy matter. In fact, Jenny had been a bit reluctant to cut the fish, since being of a prey species herself, the sight of severed meat hasn't been a pleasant sight around predators. However, she knew the job needed to get done as quick and efficiently as possible. So regardless of how uncomfortable the job had made her, she continues to skin the fats and scales from the body and places the meat inside of the large bucket.
Once the fish have been skinned and the meat had been placed inside of the buckets, both Matt and Tomoe take the buckets into the house in order to package the now cleanly cut chunks of fish meat properly. They look towards Jenny and reassure her they would take care of properly packaging the meat themselves, having understood the reason behind her reluctance on skinning the fish. Much to her relief, Jenny hugs the two foxes and plants a soft kiss on Matt's right cheek before entering the house, quickly making her way towards the shower upstairs to rid herself of the smell of fish.
While the bunny was taking a much needed shower, both Matt and Tomoe take a seat at the kitchen table and began grabbing the rounded rectangular, yellow and white colored Styrofoam plates to place the meat on. With their gloves still covering their hand-paws, they place pieces of the meat onto them while keeping in mind of the types of fish they had caught. With the smaller pieces from the trouts, they uses the smaller Styrofoam plates, while placing the larger chunks onto the bigger ones. Organizing the meat via type of fish was fortunately simple, albeit time consuming. But after taking about thirty minutes to place the chopped pieces of fish onto the Styrofoam plates, they were finally ready to wrap them with clear shrink film.
By the time they had began wrapping the fish products with the shrink film, Jenny had finished her shower and was currently heading downstairs, intending on getting some shut eye for class tomorrow. Her attire was rather simple, sporting a red tank top along with a pair of midnight blue, tight fitting workout shorts, and much suitable for sleeping given the warm conditions inside of the house. She enters the living room and her nose was immediately intruded with the scent of fish inside, which to no surprise was the case since it was in the packaging stage. Though what did surprise her was the face they had already organized the fish meat in the proper Styrofoam plates and were nearly close to being halfway done. As impressed as she was with their ingenuity, the rabbit's mind was focused on getting to bed. The instant she arrived to the futon did she flop onto it and quickly shut her eyes, the comforts of sleep soon overtaking her body within a matter of seconds. Moments after sleep overtook her body, Tomoe turns towards the now sleeping rabbit for a moment before shifting her attention towards Matt.
"Matt, go ahead and get some sleep. I'll take care of the rest", Tomoe said to the male fox, who had just finished packaging a pack of common carp meat with the shrink film. He looks directly at his aunt and was about to protest calmly, but after thinking about it and turning towards Jenny, he nods with understanding and steps away from the table. But before he can get some sleep, there was one thing he needed to do before he could head to bed.
Before he steps out of the kitchen, the fox removes the disposable gloves off of his hand-paws and throws them into the trash bin, walking towards one of his suitcases and grabbing a pair of sleeping clothes from it. With a spare change of clothes in hand, the fox walks upstairs and into the bathroom, placing the articles of clothing on the rack next to the toilet. He turns to his right and opens the cabinet door where the towels were placed in, grabbing a hold of a crimson colored towel and placing it on the rack in front of the shower stall. Quickly removing the clothes he wore while at the lake, he steps into the stall and turns the two knobs to the left, the hot all the way and the cold about a quarter of the way. With the sizzling sounds of the shower head dispensing mildly hot water, and with shutting the door behind him, his shower had begun.
About twenty five minutes pass after his shower had begun, and now Matt was stepping out of the bathroom with a fresh pair of clothes being worn on his body. His clothing consists of a cerulean blue tank top with a pair of low rise black pajama pants, this time bearing orange carrot shaped pattern on parts of his pants. Like all of his tank tops, they were of a tight fit enough to show his torso's muscle definition. To complement the tightness of his top, the fox's pants were of a baggy fit and not showing any of the definition on his legs. He walks down the stairs and towards the futon where Jenny was sleeping, climbing on the left side of the futon mattress and resting his back against the firmly soft material. Sleep soon began to overtake his body, and his eyelids became heavier with each passing second. But before the comforts of sleep overtook his body, the fox rolls to his left and gently wraps his right arm around the rabbit's waist. Now that the bunny was being held in his arms, the fox drifts off into a much needed sleep.
The rest of the week had practically been slow for the two mammals. Between school and working as part time fisher mammals, both Matt and Jenny were practically bored out of their minds. Business had been going rather slow for them as well, not even selling half of their products before the weekend had come. Although they had made quite a bit of money from the sales, it wasn't enough to call it a stabilized source of income. But hey, everything has to start slow, right?
The second and third weeks have gone by a bit faster, much to the relief of both Jenny and Matt. Not only had school been passing by faster, but business had also been progressively getting better with each passing day, much in their favor. Their source of income was now becoming much more stable now that they have been managing to get larger number of fish during the two days they gather the fish. Of course, the Wildes did keep a few packs for themselves and ate them for dinner a few times, which they were fortunately able to afford such a thing since the income had become stable enough to do so.
The forth week had come rather quickly, thanks to spending enough time on fishing at the lakes after school along with spending most of their time selling the products in the New Otsu shopping district. Since they've began their business in the middle of October, not a single Neo-Shogunate army had come looking for the assassin. After all, working as a successful fisher mammal definitely helped keep the suspicion off of Matt. To add to the good times, both his and Jenny's Income had become stable and interestingly large enough to where they began buying some new clothes for themselves along with more fishing and packaging equipment without any trouble. Man, since the day they've fled Kawasabus under the behest of Thrandeer, life couldn't get any better than this.
Now it was the late evening of November the twentieth, particularly in the late evening, and Thanksgiving break has begun for all of the students across the US. Unfortunately for Matt and Jenny, rain was pouring rather heavily in New Otsu to the point where they couldn't go fishing that evening, which pretty much sucked for them both since they could do anymore business until the rain subsided. But hey, I suppose getting a break from work every now and then couldn't hurt, right?
Speaking of breaks, both of them were resting inside of the living room dressed in clothing they deemed comfortable. Matt's attire consisted of a dark cerulean blue tank top and a pair of solid black pajama pants. Jenny, on the other hand, was sporting a dark crimson tank top with a pair of short, tight fitting, dark cerulean blue colored nylon shorts. But while they were resting inside of the living room, they weren't the only occupants at the residence.
Just several minutes ago, Iizuka had arrived to check on both Matt and Jenny regarding their status, along with giving the two an update on Kawasabus. By far, although things seemed to be calming down a bit in the chaotic town, battles were still being fought and some of the homes were being ravaged by many of the Neo-Shogunate armies, whom were having a difficult time searching for the Ishin-Mirkwood assassin. And although he was told about the radical portions of the clan trying to formulate a plan to kill the head of the Neo-Shogunate party, Iizuka told the fox to wait until the order for him to return is given out. If Matt was told about this a month ago, he would've protested the tanuki's decision, but now…
"I don't mind waiting", Matt said to the tanuki with a calm tone of voice, a soft, hardly noticeable smile forming on his muzzle.
"Are you sure about that?" Iizuka asked with an almost doubtful expression. "The life of a fisher mammal isn't as exciting as the one you once lived", he commented, which caused the fox to nearly scoff scoff upon hearing this. However, he refrains from doing so even though he lost the hardly noticeable smile on his face and had turned away from the tanuki.
"I never killed for the excitement, and to be honest, this is a welcome change of pace", Matt replied while shaking his head a couple of times, looking back at Iizuka with a soft smile on his face. "Besides, I'm having no trouble finding things around here to keep me occupied. So I'm not getting bored at all", the fox reassured, a slight chuckle leaving the tanuki's mouth as he stands up.
"Well, I'm glad you're happy. Just make sure your skills don't languish in the interim", Iizuka responded, grabbing his katana and placing it on the left side of his body before walking towards the front door. "See ya later!" he replied while opening the door and closing it behind him, a soft smirk forming on his face. "He's weakening. Ha", the tanuki said softly under his breath before grabbing his keys and unlocking the door to his car. And while the tanuki was leaving, Tomoe enters the living room from the kitchen and takes a seat on the futon Matt and Jenny weren't occupying, a soft sigh escaping her muzzle before turning to face her nephew.
"Forgive me, Matt, but I don't feel good when that mammal's here", Tomoe began, the sound of an engine roaring momentarily before the car Iizuka came here with starts pulling out of the driveway. "I hate it when he's around", she claimed, right at the moment Iizuka starts driving at the direction where Kawasabus was located.
"She's right", Jenny claimed in agreement, turning her head to face Matt with her sapphire eyes gazing towards his jade green ones. "I don't know what it is, but there's something about him I don't like about him. Its just a weird feeling I have…" the rabbit commented before turning away from the fox, with Matt giving both of them a soft, understanding nod. Tomoe soon stands up from the futon and heads for the kitchen, making the male fox look at his aunt with a curious expression on his face.
"I managed to brew some sake earlier today", Tomoe said before picking up the tray holding a bottle of the freshly brewed alcoholic beverage along with two shot glasses, carrying the tray to the living room and setting it down on the coffee table. "Y'all are more than welcome to have some, just keep it to a limit", she added prior to turning around and walking towards the stairs, stopping right before stepping on the first stair step. "I'll be in my room if you both need me", and with those words, the vixen starts walking upstairs and heads towards the master bedroom upstairs.
After the vixen headed upstairs, the fox grabs a hold of the glass bottle of home brewed sake along with one of the shot glasses. The bottle was already opened thanks to Tomoe having opened it earlier, which was convenient for him to pour the drink quicker. He pours a bit of the beverage inside of the shot glass he held and hands the glass to Jenny, who gently took it and allowing the fox to grab the other one. Pouring a similar portion into the glass as he did, the fox sets the bottle down and raises his shot glass towards the front of his muzzle, drinking the alcoholic contents quickly and lowering the glass away from his mouth. His eyes widen slightly with surprise upon tasting the flavor of the alcoholic beverage.
"Its good…" Matt began, bearing a genuinely surprised expression on his face. "This is the best tasting sake I've ever had", as soon as the fox said that, Jenny's eyes fix themselves towards him with surprise.
"Wait, are you serious?" Jenny asked and shifts her gaze back at her glass, raising it towards her mouth and quickly drinking the contents inside. And like him, her expression became genuinely surprised at the taste. "You're right", she said with a soft smile, retaining it for at least a few seconds before losing her smile. Her eyes close halfway and a soft sight escapes her mouth, turning away from the fox and looking directly at the coffee table in front of the futon. Matt catches this almost quickly and places his right hand-paw onto her left shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked out of concern, the rabbit turning towards him for a moment before shaking her head a couple times.
"Its nothing", Jenny claimed right before she turns away from him, her eyes closing and letting a soft sigh escape her mouth. She may have claimed there might be nothing wrong, but knowing Jenny, the fox knew better to assume it was nothing. Matt gently cups her cheeks and turns her head towards him, the rabbit blushing slightly from his actions with a pair of fully open, curious eyes.
"Jen, tell me what's bothering you?" Matt asked calmly, but with a genuinely concerned tone as well. She closes her eyes and cups his left hand-paw with her right gently, unsure of how to begin the discussion with him. But in all honesty, she knew she had to talk about this at some point, and I suppose now would be the right time to discuss this.
"Well, I have a lot on my mind at the moment, to be honest", Jenny began. "For one, you never ask anything about my family..." she softly continued.
"Huh?" Matt asked with a curious tone in his voice, cocking a slight, similarly toned brow as he did.
"You really don't ask anything personal about me", Jenny answered while reopening her eyes and gazing directly towards his. However, Matt slightly turns his head away from her and releases his hold on her cheeks and placing them inside his pockets.
"To be honest, and I'm not even sure why, but I never really thought about it", Matt replied.
"What do you mean?" Jenny asked curiously, a soft sigh escaping his muzzle before he began speaking.
"I lost my aunt by the hand-paws of other assassins when I was only nine years old. As for my father, he ran out on us about five months before my aunt's death. I don't know if my dad ended up remarrying another vixen or if something happened to him", Matt began, his gaze shifting back towards her face as he explained. "You also told me your parents were murdered when you were in eighth grade. So since we're stuck here, if I asked you about them, it wouldn't change a thing", he explained, the bunny soon curling up into fetal position and resting her head onto her knees.
"That may be true… but I haven't told you the full story about it", Jenny said following a soft sigh, the fox now looking at the rabbit with a pair of curious eyes. "And its a memory that still haunts me to this day…" she claimed, the fox scooting closer to her gently with the intention to listen to everything she had to say about it. "I was living in Savannah Central District in Zootopia around the time it happened. I got into a heated argument with them because they found out about a jack rabbit I was dating at the time", she explained, only pausing for a moment to let out a soft sigh. "I left the house after the argument became to much for me to bear, unaware that it would be the last time I would ever see my parents alive..."
Savanna Central, Zootopia, May 10th, 2006
The stars in the night sky glisten beautifully upon the city of Zootopia, many of its citizens walking around the downtown part of the city for a night of entertainment. From the biggest of predators to the smallest of prey, all of them began heading out to the bars for a drink, to the arcades to play games, or even eating at the fanciest of restaurants with their friends, family, even mates. All seemed to be pleasant throughout the city, almost as pleasant as Pleasantville in the movie of the same name. Although this was the case for almost all of the citizens of Zootopia, that didn't seem to be the case with one mammal in particular…
A fourteen year old female English born bunny by the name of Jenny Bunni was currently roaming the darkest alleys of the city, her emotions bearing a mixture of anger and sorrow. Her attire consisted of a pair of jeans, T-shirt, a slim fitting hoodie, and Chuck Taylor shoes, all in black to match the bunny's current mood.But there was an exception to that, however, with the bunny'sblack T-shirt bearing 'Venom: Welcome to Hell' imprinted on the front of the shirt in gold. The hood was covering her head to the entirety, where the only thing that can be seen is parts of her dark brown/dark blond mixed bangs and parts of her face. While hidden for the most part, the parts of her face that were exposed bore enough detail to show hints of black, damp mascara lines running down her cheeks. That made it clearly evident she had been crying fairly recently.
Roughly an hour ago, she had left the apartment she and her parents were staying in after a heavily heated argument in response to finding out their daughter had recently began dating a fifteen year old jack rabbit they clearly didn't approve of. She tried to convince her parents he wasn't any trouble at all, but her parents had claimed otherwise. Despite trying her best to being calm and collected, arguing with her parents proven that this approach would never work. The argument became aggressive unexpectedly quick, shouts were heard throughout the entire complex within a matter of seconds, and tempers were flaring like wild fire. And before they knew it, Jenny immediately rushed out the door and into the dark streets of Savanna District.
All of that happened within a mere hour ago, yet to the young rabbit only felt like fifteen minutes for her, and now she was currently walking back towards her apartment complex.. She wasn't sure if venting in the alleyway several blocks away from her home helped pass the time, or if it was all of the crying she had did while she was out of the apartment. She honestly didn't know, and she honestly didn't care. Her mind was completely blank with the exception for one thing: she needed to get home, and right away before she got caught in the wrong crowd.
Jenny continues to walk along the dark alleys as quickly as she could, occasionally looking behind her along with the other pathways to ensure nobody was following her. Fortunately for her, nobody did. Along with the fact nobody followed her, it was also relatively quiet within the neighborhood despite being within the downtown portion of Zootopia. Completely silent with the exception of the faint sounds of dispatch radios a few blocks from her current position. Wait, dispatch radios? Whatever the reason, that didn't sound good at all. As she drew closer to the complex, now jogging to get their faster, she notices flashing red and blue lights within the distance, on the same street her complex was. Now without a doubt she knew something had gone down, and she had to find out. Her street came into view and immediately turns towards the left, unprepared for the scene she was about to bestow upon.
Her eyes immediately widen with pure shock and her hand-paws immediately cup her mouth, a loud 'gasp' escaping her mouth. There, right in front of their front doorstep were her parents, laying dead in a pool of their own blood. Roughly two dozen bullet holes from the upper left parts of their shoulders to the right side of their torso were obviously apparent on their bodies, which meant they her killed in a drive by shooting or a plotted murder. Which one it was she did not know. Yellow tape was placed around the scene of the crime, and several officers of various predator species, along with roughly eighteen residents within the complex, occupied the scene. Her eyes began to water at the grisly scene of the crime, and she began shaking her head erratically.
"No…" Jenny whimpered softly, tears threatening to stream down her face at any given moment. She was in a pure state of denial. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She could not literally believe what the fuck she was seeing. "No. No. No. No!" she whimpered much louder this time, but not enough grab the attention of the officers on the scene. Her lips start quivering involuntarily, and her brows were pointing upward in sadness. She suddenly shuts her eyes and immediately sprints towards the bodies of her parents. "NO!" the bunny shrieked very loudly, immediately grabbing the attention of the cops and all of the residents in the area. "MUM! DAD!" the rabbit wailed. One of the cops tried to stop her from passing the yellow line, but the rabbit was surprisingly too fast for the officer to catch. She immediately slides onto her knees in front of her parents, leaning her body forward and finally letting out the loud sobs and the tears she had held back after first seeing the horrific scene.
She didn't know how long she was crying for the loss for her parents, nor did she know how long she wailed for her parents, longing for them. But within the next several minutes that pass, she had been placed inside the back seat of one of the police cruisers on the scene. The rabbit wasn't placed under arrest, but was being taken to the station to help her get situated. But to Jenny, who was no longer sobbing despite the tears that continue to stream down her face, merely looked down at the floorboard of the cruiser. Her eyes were half open, puffy and red, and hurt from all the crying she had done, and the tears had, and still continue to smear black mascara onto her cheeks to a certain extent. But that wasn't what had hurt her the most.
What had hurt the bunny the most was the fact her parents were no longer of this word. They had unexpectedly been taken away by the hand-paws of an unknown organization, whether it was a local street gang or a huge crime family. Which one it was, she honestly didn't know, and at this given moment, she didn't care. She was hurting from the fact that not only will she never see her parents again, but from many things regarding them.
Never again will she be able to see the smiling faces of her parents, or to look into the sapphire blue eyes she had inherited from the two bunnies face to face. Never again will she taste her mother's cooking, or receive any help with her homework or any random 'word from the wise' from her father. Never again will the rabbit be able to go out to the park and have fun, go out to eat dinner with them, watch a movie, or whatever else. Never again will she hear the laughs, cries, basic chatter, even the arguments surprisingly enough. But what truly hurt her to the very core was two major facts…
She will never again be able to hug and tell her parents how much she loved and cherished them. And she would never have the chance to tell them how sorry she was for her wrongs, nor will she ever have the chance to set the wrong things she's done to them right…
Tomoe's residence, November 20th, 2009
"After I was taken to the station, I ended up being assigned a foster home for the rest of my eighth grade year…" Jenny began softly, her eyes half open and tears threatening to stream down her face any any given moment. "I didn't stay with my foster parents for long, though, because as soon as I finished eighth grade year, I immediately got the hell out of Zootopia and wandered across country during the summer, hoping it would do my mind some good. When the summer came to an end, however, I settled down in Kawasabus shortly before I began my freshmen year in High School", the bunny further explained, her arms clutching around her legs tighter and pressing her face onto her knees. Tears almost immediately began running down her cheeks and onto her legs. "Even if it happened over three years ago… it still hurts so much…!" the rabbit with a cracked voice, her shoulders quivering and now sobbing openly next to the fox.
"Jen…" Matt spoke softly with sympathy in his voice. He recalled Jenny having told him about her parents being dead over a month ago, but never did he expect them to die at the City he had been born and partially raised in. Either way, he needed to comfort her immediately.
The fox slowly wraps his arms around the bunny and pulls her into a tender, comforting hug. Whether or not this would help, he wasn't entirely sure. But hey, its a start. Fortunately, the bunny returns the hug by tightly wrapping her arms around his waist and planting her face onto the bottom part of his chest and the upper part of his chiseled abdominal muscles. His tank top was soon getting stained by the tears being shed from the rabbit, but the fox didn't care one bit. He closes his eyes and gently tightens his arms around the bunny's torso, her sobbing, although becoming less frequent, remain just as loud as when her sobs began. His head rests on top of hers began rubbing the upper part of her back gently with his left hand-paw, and rubbing the back of her head with his right.
This continued for at least another five minutes before the bunny's sobs began to stagnate, the sound softening until they could no longer can be heard. Matt pulls back a bit and moves his hand-paws off of her upper body, reopening his eyes and looking down at her now tear stained face.
"Matt… thank you", Jenny spoke softly, her eyes closing halfway and her head tilting from his face towards her left, gazing directly at the futon mattress with her right hand-paw moving to the left side of her chest. "Why does it hurt so much…?" she choked, closing her eyes before. "To know the fact you'll never be able to apologize to your own parents for your actions… to know they carry a grudge against their own daughter to the grave. Why does it hurt so much…?" the rabbit sobbed softly, her voice cracking and a couple tears streaming down her face shortly after she began speaking. Her left hand-paw covers her eyes and her lips began quivering again.
"Jen…" Matt began, the fox cupping her cheeks gently and turns her head towards his, his jade green eyes staring directly at her sapphire blue colored pair. "No parent would ever hold a grudge against their own child, not even in death", the fox continued, his voice bearing a soothing tone the bunny couldn't describe. "Even though I've never met your parents, I know without a doubt that they've would've forgiven you, no matter the severity of your actions", he claimed sincerely, the rabbit closing her eyes and tilting her head towards the ground.
"But, I-"
"Listen to me!", Matt exclaimed calmly, tilting the rabbit's head up towards him and gazing directly at her face, her eyes reopening a little over halfway. "Regardless of the fact you never had the chance to apologize, they still would've forgiven you no matter what", the fox continued. "Even in the afterlife, your parents still love you", he paused for a moment, his eyes gazing towards hers as his heart began pounding a bit faster inside of his chest. "Just as much as I do, too…", that immediately caused the bunny to perk her ears towards his words.
"Matt…?" Jenny began, her sapphire eyes gazing directly at his jade green pair. A brief silence filled between them shortly after Matt said those words, but those weren't the only words he had to say… needed to say. He took a deep breath and gently grabbed her hand-paws, his fingers intertwining with hers even as his gaze remained locked with hers.
"I love you, Jen. I fell in love with you since the day I first laid my eyes on you", Matt confessed, finally telling her the feelings he had developed for her since the day he had met her, the same, genuine feelings that have grown stronger from that day up to this point. Jenny's eyes shot wide open and her mouth instantly became agape, both of which were full of genuine shock. Her heart began pounding both quicker and harder inside of her chest, just like how her face began flustering in pure shock.
She honestly didn't know what to say about it, for the words couldn't form in her mouth. She lowers her head slightly and gently clutches the left side of her chest where her heart lies, her breathing becoming faster and heavier with each passing second. The bunny's gaze shifts back up to him, then down, then back up at him again. The fox's hand-paws remain cupped on her cheeks, soon finding himself leaning his head towards hers. Jenny soon found herself inching towards him willingly. Their eyes began narrowing, much like the gap between them became narrower. Their eyes close at the precise moment their lips connected with one another for the first time since they've met.
It started off as soft and gentle at first in order to get used to the fact this was happening, but with each passing second, it gradually grew more passionate. Matt's arms wrap around her waist gently into a tender, almost tight hug, with Jenny's arms wrapping around the fox's neck as an attempt to pull closer towards him. Jenny's DD-cup breasts press almost tightly against the bottom half of his pectoral muscles and the upper portion of his two uppermost abs. Matt's head twists to the left in correlation with Jenny's twisting towards the same direction, both of them becoming lost in the increasingly passionate kiss.
The kiss deepened almost quickly as the two mammals got used to the motions of their actions. Jenny soon moves her right leg over his legs and rests her booty on his lap. Matt's arms tighten around the lower portion of her waist and presses further into the passionate kiss, the rabbit's right hand-paw moving to the back of his head and pulling his head towards her. The predator and prey pause for the briefest of moments to catch their breaths before resuming the kiss, both of them pressing their tongues inside of each other's mouths and brushing against one another rapidly. Jenny's left hand-paw began exploring the fox's muscular torso, starting from the well built chest muscles of his and soon tracing her fingers along the heavily chiseled abs.
Matt's hand-paws soon began to explore her body intimately shortly after Jenny's began exploring his body. His left hand-paw moves to the back of her head and pull it towards his, further deepening the increasingly passionate kiss between the two while his right began stroking her left thigh. The two pause the kiss again only for a brief moment to catch their breaths before continuing to explore each other's lips tenderly. The rabbit moves her right hand-paw from the back of the fox's head and began exploring the muscular built torso of his to the fullest, much like Matt moving his left down to her right thigh and began stroking it back and forth slowly, but intimately. But they didn't stay at her thighs for long. No, they wanted to explore her body much further! Both of his hand-paws quickly move towards that perfect, round booty of hers and give both of her firm cheeks a tender, slightly hard squeeze. Jenny immediately breaks the kiss and arches her back from his intimate, increasingly erotic touch, her crotch grinding against the hardening package inside of the male's pants. A soft moan escapes the bunny's mouth before she leans her body forward and wraps her arms around his neck kissing the left side of his neck tenderly, taking the occasional sniff of his fox musk.
As the bunny was kissing the fox's neck (and sniffing his scent on occasion), Matt's hand-paws slowly trail from her perfectly rounded booty up along the sides of her torso, their target being the busty bosom she bore on her chest. He grips the tender mounds gently and gives them a soft squeeze, another moan escaping her mouth as her face quickly became heavily flustered. Their eyes open halfway and look into each other's eyes, both pairs of eyes glistening with love, passion, and hints of primal lust. The two quickly press their lips together and began kissing each other with fierce passion, their eyes now closed and their hand-paws continuing to explore every part of their bodies without hesitation.
It wasn't long before the two found themselves inside the shower stall within the second floor bathroom, the hot water pouring heavily down upon their nude bodies. Jenny's back was pinned against the ceramic wall and her thighs were being held in the grip of Matt's hand-paws. Her arms were wrapped around his neck for the extra support, though thanks to Matt's grip and her being pinned against the wall, it wasn't really necessary. Their mouths continue to explore each other tenderly much like the fox's exposed flesh between his legs began sliding back and forth against the rabbit's wet lips between her thighs. A soft, needy moan leaves the bunny's mouth before looking down at the red, veiny rod between the fox's legs. And holy hell did her eyes widen at the sight of his member.
She wasn't surprised to the fact foxes would be big downstairs, especially to the fact she was small than him due to being a rabbit. But holy hell, it seems Matt was rather big even for foxes, the thick rod being a good ten inches in length and slightly over two inches in thickness. That was something she honestly didn't expect, not that she was complaining anyways. But the longer she gazed at the rod, the faster her heart began pounding, and the more her cotton tail twitched in anticipation. Hell, the lips between her thighs began dripping eagerly with anticipation, wanting, no, needing that thing inside of her.
The rabbit wasn't sure how long she had been starting at Matt's throbbing member between his legs, but a lustful, predatory growl from the fox snaps her out of her trance. Her mostly open eyes shift directly towards Matt's jade green pair, noticing the once circular black irises bearing a thin, diamond shape to them. Seeing those slit shaped irises in his pupils meant one obvious thing: he wanted her badly, and he wanted her now! A soft moan escapes her mouth before grabbing his long hair and pulling his head towards hers, planting a deep, lustful kiss on his lips. She immediately wraps her legs around his waist eagerly and began grinding her wet lips against the hot, throbbing flesh of his. And to Matt, that meant it was time for him enter the main course.
Grabbing a hold of the throbbing member with his right hand-paw, while retaining his grip on her right thigh with his left, the fox began rubbing the tip of his eager member against the opening of her nether lips. Soft, eager moans start escaping her mouth the instant he began teasing her with his length, arching her head back and curling her fingers around his fur matching hair. She desperately needed him, and she needed him NOW! With a pleasing moan, the fox immediately complies with her request by lining the throbbing rod with her sex and presses it inside of her, his cock slowly entering the inner walls of her tender, virgin pussy. Her mouth opens wide and a lets out a loud moan from the male's foxhood entering her inner walls, moaning his name as she began grinding back and forth almost involuntarily.
She began moving her hips up and down along the first five inches of his thick rod, with lustful, guttural growls leaving the fox's muzzle and eager whimpers fleeing the rabbit's mouth. Her legs tighten their hold around his waist securely before looking at the fox's eyes, closing her own and giving him a deep, lustful kiss on the lips, She presses herself upper body against his with pure bliss, her breasts pressing against the male's pectoral muscles as she attempts to deepen the kiss. Matt's hand-paws grab a tight hold of her waist before bucking his hips back and forth against hers, his foxhood sliding in and out of her sex tenderly. At first, his thrusts started off slowly in order to let the rabbit get used to the size of his member, but the pace of his thrusts gradually quickened enough to stimulate the sexual excitement between one another.
Matt's lustful growls were almost constantly leaving from his mouth as the intercourse continues to progress, and the passionate, primitive kiss between him and the rabbit began to deepen tenderly. His thrusts gradually continue to quicken at a pace both lovers were comfortable with. Not too fast, nor too slow; not too gentle, nor too rough. Just the way they wanted it. The fox's left hand-paw moves from the right side of her waist and to the ceramic tile wall behind the bunny, pressing his hand-paw against the wall and scratching the paint gently with his claws. Moans were constantly escaping the two with each passing second, their bodies grinding against one another in perfect synchronization with each other's movements.
As the minutes continue to pass quickly, the fox breaks the kiss and lowers his head towards the left side of her body. He flashes his fangs with a predatory, lustful snarl before leaning towards her left shoulder, nipping at her furred flesh gently enough to send shivers down her spine. In most cases, the prey would be trying to flee from the predator the instant he began nipping her shoulder. But in this particular case, however, the rabbit embraced this with pure, lustful pleasure. The way that Matt did it felt really damn good, ways she had never thought possible
Both lovers were being driven closer to the edge of climax as the minutes continue to pass like seconds. Matt's thrusts remain in complete synchronization with the grinding of Jenny's hips. The rabbit was constantly whimpering in pure bliss, her need for the fox growing stronger as the intercourse nears the peak of climax. Matt's knot soon formed at the base of his foxhood and began hitting her nether lips in correlation with his thrusts. His primal urges began to overtake his mind and quickly presses the thick knot deep inside of her inner walls, the rabbit squealing loudly with pure, sexual bliss.
And before either one of them knew it, both the fox and rabbit lock their lips in an everlasting kiss as they began to explode with pure passion. Thick ropes of the fox's ripe seed starts shooting deep within the safety of the rabbit's womb, the bunny squirting plenty of her juices on his foxhood while he filled her. They break the kiss at least a minute after they started kissing, which was roughly a good few seconds after their climax had abated. Their lust was sated, and now the two have grown tired from the intercourse they've had. With Matt's knot locked inside of Jenny's sex, the two gently slide down against the wall and hold each other in a tender embrace.
"I love you, Jenny…" Matt softly said to his new lover, planting a soft kiss on her forehead as he held her in his arms.
"I love you too, Matt", Jenny replied, bearing a soft smile on her face, resting her head onto her lover's chest while the hot water continues to cleanse their bodies from the smell of sex. They knew they couldn't stay in there forever, but to them, that's how it felt, and they embraced the moment for as long as they possibly could.
One hour after the interspecies lovers had finished engaging in intercourse, along with waiting for the knot to deflate, the two lovers exit from the second floor bathroom with the clothes they wore… for the most part. Jenny had asked Matt to exit the shower without his shirt, with the fox asking the bunny to do the same, with only a black and crimson colored lace bra containing her bosom. The lovers walk downstairs and lay down onto the futon they slept on, the fox laying down first before the bunny lays right on top of him.
"Talk about one hell of a way to end a night, that's for sure", Matt commented with a soft grin on his muzzle, the bunny resting her head on his chest tenderly. The fox's right hand-paw moves to her head and soon began stroking her dark brown/dark blonde mixed long hair, his fingers brushing through parts of her hair.
"Mmhmm…" Jenny replied softly, her arms wrapping around her lover's neck and planting a tender kiss on his cheeks. "I'll always cherish this night, Matt".
"As will I", Matt replied tenderly, his eyes half open and looking directly towards her. His hand-paws cup her cheeks gently and causes a soft blush to form on the rabbit's head. "I love you, Jenny", the fox added softly, making the rabbit smile tenderly towards her new boyfriend.
"I love you too, Matt", Jenny replied with a similar tone of voice before planting a gentle kiss on her lover's muzzle. She moves back a bit enough to rest her head on his muscular chest while keeping her arms wrapped around his neck. "My handsome fox".
"My beautiful bunny", Matt replied softly, retaining the soft grin in his muzzle before closing his eyes, thus letting the comforts of sleep overtake his body on this rainy night… or that would've been the case of his phone didn't start going off! "Shit…", he cursed, losing the grin he bore on his muzzle immediately after his phone began ringing unexpectedly. "Who the hell's calling at this time?" he groaned, obviously annoyed to the fact his phone had went off out of nowhere. He grabs his phone from the coffee table and pulls up the caller ID, his annoyed expression immediately turning into one full of unexpected surprise. "Thrandeer?!" he exclaimed, both the bunny and fox siting up upon the fox revealing the person who was calling. He hits the answer button on the touch screen and immediately places his phone on speaker. "Thrandeer, you're still alive!"
"I know, Matt, and its good to hear you're still alive as well", Thrandeer replied over the phone. "As much as I want to catch up with you, but I'm afraid we have a problem in our midst", the buck said almost bluntly.
"Wait, what's going on?" Matt asked calmly, but genuinely curious about the problem at hand.
"I had been recently made aware some of the radical factions of both the Ishin-Rivendell and Orimaku clans had fled Kawasabus and escaped to the east coast and are planning to secretly spread the power of the Neo-Shogunate government in the underground", Thrandeer began over the phone, both Matt and Jenny briefly looking at each other before turning their attention towards the phone. "But that's not the only thing that concerns me".
"What do you mean?" Matt asked, his eyes furrowing only the slightest.
"As of fifteen minutes ago, I've also been made aware some of our own had recently betrayed our clan and sided with the radical factions of the enemy clans who fled Kawasabus", Thrandeer explained. "If we were made aware of this sooner, I would've sent some of the other members to dispose of them, but only a few of us remain in town and no one else is available to take the job", the buck continued. "I know you're trying to adjust to your new life as a Fisher Mammal in New Otsu, but I must ask for your services once again", the deer finished, the interspecies couple looking towards one another for a moment before the bunny gave him an understanding nod. Matt nods back to his girlfriend before shifting his attention back to his phone.
"Alright, I'll lend you my skills for the time being", Matt answered, hearing a sigh of relief escaping Thrandeer's mouth on the other side of the line. "Where have the enemy clans and rough members of our own fled to?" the fox asked, bearing the same facial expression he had during the time he was working as an assassin. But while he may have been prepared for all of the missions he was given, nothing could've prepared the fox for the answer he was about to hear, one he would never had expected to hear from the clan leader's own mouth.
"Zootopia..."
