Kitsune End Of The Beginning

Chapter 2

I was woken the next morning to by Kasai bursting into Joshua and my bedroom, babbling excitedly about hunting with me today. I sat up quickly, my ears twitching, pulling Joshua up in the process and waking him.

"What's…going on?" he mumbled sleepily, yawning as he spoke.

"Morning, Mom! Morning, Dad!" our youngest chirped as she climbed onto our bed. "Ready to go hunting, Dad?" she asked me eagerly.

"Yeah, just let me get your brothers up first," I yawned, and stretched until my back clicked. My tail fluffed up as I flexed my spine, and then I climbed out of bed. Kasai followed me eagerly. "How did you get so much energy…?" I wondered aloud to her.

"I dunno. I'm just like this~" she giggled, and I smiled. I knocked softly on Kabu and Kito's bedroom door before opening it.

"Good morning, guys," I greeted, walking in. Kito sat up slowly, yawning widely, while Kabu groaned and tried to roll over for more sleep. "Come on, guys, you gotta get up. You need to take care of your mother while Kasai and I go hunting. Wake up."

"Wake up! Wake up!" Kasai cried out, jumping onto Kabu, who was attempting to hide under the covers.

"Kasai! Get off!" Kabu whined, trying to throw her off.

"Nope, you gotta get up!" she squealed, her silver tail waving excitedly. "Come on, Kabu! Please? I wanna go hunting with Dad, and you and Kito need to take care of Mom while we're gone!"

"Fiiiiine, just off of me so I can get up," he grumbled, and she quickly jumped off, allowing him to sit up. "Happy?"

"Yep!" she grinned cheekily. Kito crawled out of bed, his orange and silver striped tail drooping and his orange and silver ears were flattened out to the sides from his tiredness.

"Gah, tired…" he mumbled, making his way out of his room to get something to eat from yesterday's hunt.

"You'll live," I chuckled, and walked back out with Kasai once I saw that Kabu was out of bed. I looked at my youngest with a smile. "Ready to go?" I asked.

"Yupyupyup!" she chirped, and ran outside. By the time I joined her, she was already in her fox form. I shifted to my own fox form before bounding into the forest, my daughter right behind me. "So, Dad, where are we going to hunt?"

"Just near the river. Your mother has been craving fish lately, and it sounds good to me, too, so we're going to fish this morning," I told her. Her eyes brightened at the mention of fish.

"I haven't had fish in forever!" she squealed. "It's so yummy, and we don't get it often, so it's always a nice treat!"

"Exactly my thoughts," I grinned. "Just be prepared to get a bit wet."

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll be fine!" she huffed, puffing out her small chest slightly.

"I know you will be, or else we wouldn't be doing this," I chuckled, nuzzling her.

We soon reached the river, where I could already see the faint shadows of the plump fish swimming about lazily in the water. I silently padded to the edge of the water, Kasai following me just as quietly, and peered into the depths. Patiently, I waited until a fish came close enough to the surface and bank, and then flashed my paw out, snagging the fish in my claws. I swiftly yanked it out and dragged it onto the grass with my teeth, waiting until it stopped moving before looking at Kasai.

"Now it's your turn," I told her.

"So, how do I do this?" she wondered.

"Wait until a fish comes close to the bank and surface of the water," I instructed. "Then, once it's close enough, immediately strike out with your paw and snatch it. As soon as you feel the slightest tug, pull it out, and you'll have it. You have to drag it onto the grass, though, or else it might try to get back into the water."

"Wow…sounds kinda hard, Dad," she mumbled.

"You can do it, I know you can," I assured her, nuzzling her again. She nodded determinedly, and then looked at the water. She watched carefully for about 13 minutes, and then her paw darted out and she snagged a large silver fish in her claws. She tugged it out of the water, and managed to drag it over to where I was. Surprisingly, it was larger than mine. I looked at her proudly.

"Great job, Kasai!" I praised. "You actually caught one bigger than mine!" She grinned widely at this.

"Really?!" She looked at our fish, and when she saw the difference in their size, she hopped around happily. "Awesome!"

"Yup, and you can either have that one for yourself or give it to your mother," I told her.

"I'll share it with him," she replied, and I smiled.

"That's my girl!" I laughed, nuzzled her again. She suddenly went into a playful position and pounced at me, knocking me down. She laughed as she stood over me, and I smirked before getting up quickly and bounding around her.

"No fair, Dad! You're bigger and faster!" she whined.

"True, true," I chuckled, slowing down to sit in front of her. "So, ready to head back? Or should we catch a couple more fish?"

"Can we catch two more? One for Kabu and Kito each?" she asked. I nodded with a warm smile, and her bright blue eyes shone. "Cool! I'll catch them!" she said eagerly, and waited patiently by the river again.

Another half an hour passed, and she caught two more during that time. Once we were finished, we collected up the fish and walked home, feeling closer as a father and daughter should. When we arrived home, I heard Kabu and Kito scrambling to come outside, and then saw Joshua follow them out slowly.

"You guys went fishing?!" Kito yelped, glee evident on his face.

"Yep! And Mom and I get to share the big one," she told her brothers. "But I caught you guys each a fish, too!"

"All right, thanks, Kasai!" Kabu said gratefully, grabbing one of the smaller fish. Kito grabbed one, too, and then I grabbed mine before heading inside. Joshua trailed inside after Kasai, and she shifted back to her human form as I started the fire. I shifted back into my human form as well, and then grabbed some sticks to cook the fish on. While we waited for the fish to cook, I sat next to Joshua while the kits chatted about Kasai's hunt this morning with me.

"So, are you excited about tonight?" I asked him in a low voice, a sly grin on my face. The silverette immediately blushed bright red.

"Neku! Not around the kits!" he hissed. "…And yes, I am."

"That's what I thought," I smirked. I quickly changed the subject, though, so as not to anger my mate. "Kasai's getting pretty good with hunting," I remarked.

"It certainly seems that way, especially if she caught a bigger fish than you," he giggled.

"Don't start, or you'll pay tonight," I warned, and he instantly shut up, his face crimson. A sudden knock on the door alerted us to Sanae.

"Come on in, Sanae," I called, and he walked in, smiling slightly at everyone.

"Morning everyone," he greeted. We all responded in kind, and he sat down with Joshua and me. "Are you two eager for your alone time tonight?" he asked with a knowing look.

"Sure am," I chuckled as Josh blushed again. The silverette placed his hand on his swollen stomach, making me look at him. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. They're just moving a bit is all," he told me, and I kissed his cheek. We chatted idly about this and that until the fish was done cooking, and then I pulled the fish out of the fire. Kabu, Kito, and Kasai stared eagerly at their fish, and then Kasai walked over to Joshua to share with him. The silver haired male ruffled her hair and ears affectionately before thanking her for the fish.

We ate in peace, Sanae enjoying his own breakfast of a small bird he had caught on the way here, before the raven haired kitsune got to his feet.

"All right, you three, you ready to hang out with me today?" he asked, and they all smiled and nodded. "Okay, then. Let's get going." They quickly got up and hugged both Joshua and me before heading out with Sanae. As soon as they were out of earshot, I pounced on Joshua, being careful of his belly, my tail waving eagerly. I kissed his neck and nuzzled his cheek.

"Ready for some quality time?" I asked, my voice husky. The silverette pecked me lightly on the lips in reply.

"Of course I am," he purred, and his violet eyes darkened slightly with lust. I quickly picked him up and ran into the bedroom with him, laying him out on the bed, all the while kissing his soft lips. While he yanked off my clothes, I swiftly unbuttoned his shirt and planted several butterfly kisses on his swollen stomach, making him moan quietly. I nipped and sucked on his neck, and then bit hard enough to leave my mark on him.

"N-Neku…just…hurry and fuck me already…" Joshua panted as I licked the bitten spot better. I raised my head slightly to look at him, one ear back.

"You want me to fuck you already, huh, Josh?" I said teasingly with a smirk on my lips. The silverette growled and suddenly bit my hip roughly, showing he was definitely impatient. "Okay! I get it; you want me to fuck you!" I laughed, and claimed his lips with my own again.

I carefully leaned over him and yanked off his pants and boxers in a single fluid movement, making him flush slightly. I stared over every inch of Josh with lust darkened blue eyes, making his flush deepen, and he tried to cover himself up.

"Oh, no you don't," I said, pulling his hands away. "Don't even think about hiding any part of your sexy self from me." He gave me a pitiful look, and I kissed him deeply, moving my tongue smoothly against his, tasting him. When I pulled away, I placed three fingers at his lips.

"Suck," I ordered gently, and he obeyed, coating my fingers thoroughly in saliva. I felt myself go from semi-erect to completely hard in a matter of seconds as Joshua's tongue swirled around the digits. When he finished, I pulled my fingers out of his mouth and stuck one inside of him, and he squirmed a bit from the sensation.

When he had stopped shifting on my finger, I slipped in the second and began to scissor his entrance. Joshua whimpered quietly as I stretched him, and I kissed his inner thigh to comfort him. Soon enough, he began to rock his hips back on my fingers, and I slid in the third.

Again, I scissored and stretched him, making him whimper until the pain apparently turned to pleasure for him. I could tell he was enjoying it when he started to moan and rock his hips back on my fingers. I withdrew my fingers, making him whine at the feeling of emptiness, and smeared my pre-cum on my cock to slick it up before positioning myself at his entrance.

"Ready?" I asked softly, kissing the hollow at the base of Josh's throat. He nodded once, and I began to press into him. The silverette hissed softly at the pain that went up his spine, but I didn't stop until I was fully sheathed within him. Calmly and patiently, I waited for him to adjust to the mass inside of him. Eventually, he looked up at me, his violet gaze still dark with lust, and nodded to me. I pulled out almost completely, but before he could miss the sensation of me filling him, I snapped my hips forward, slamming right into Joshua's prostate, if his howl of extreme pleasure as anything to judge by.

"H-holy sh-shit, Neku!" he gasped, his ears twitching madly. "There, again!"

"With pleasure," I growled, and began to thrust into him quickly, keeping a rapid pace that satisfied us both. Joshua moaned and mewled loudly and high-pitched, unashamed in his sounds of our love-making. I moaned as well, the pleasure of being inside my mate feeling amazing, for he was so hot and tight that it was…simply awesome.

"Neku…N-Neku…!" Josh gasped and moaned as I thrust into him harder and faster.

"I'm here," I breathed, kissing him deeply. Our tongues battled for dominance, the slick muscles sliding against each other. I won easily, and we soon broke apart for air. I could feel my release approaching, and I knew Joshua could, too.

"I…I'm gonna…" he stammered, and I reached down between us to pump and stroke at his neglected member. Joshua cried out, the pleasure coursing through him, but the cry turned into a scream of ecstasy as he came. His cum splashed onto our stomachs, and, biting on his collarbone gently, I groaned loudly as I came, too, my hot seed filling him completely.

Carefully, I pulled out, and collapsed next to the silverette, panting. I tugged him close to me and wiped the cum off of us with a ratty old towel, and then pulled him into a soft, chaste kiss. We pulled back, smiling widely and tiredly at each other.

"Did I make you feel good?" I asked teasingly, and Joshua managed to blush brightly in his tired state.

"Yes, you always do," he mumbled, embarrassed. "Do you think you'll be up for more after we rest?" His ears were perked up at this, and his tail curled around himself to prepare himself for a nap.

"Of course I will. I'm always ready, Josh, you know that," I smirked, and he smiled shyly.

"Good to know," he yawned, and rested his head on my shoulder before closing those beautiful violet eyes of his. "I love you, Neku."

"Love you, too, Joshua," I whispered, and kissed his cheek before closing my own eyes and going to sleep with my mate.
