They got to the lake surprisingly fast with no interruptions or obstacles. The hunters kept coming up with a plan on how to capture a nine-tailed fox, which made Arashi worry a little bit. Maybe the idea wasn't such a good one if they do catch Kyuubi. Highly unlikely, but the blond couldn't help but worry about the kitsune. These were highly skilled demon hunters, and Kyuubi was a demon. They were trained to kill demons. Was Kyuubi even used to fighting against demon hunters? Arashi shook his head. No, Kyuubi didn't say he was going to fight them. He just said he would lead them to the wolves by having them chase him. That was all.
When the hunters grew quiet, Arashi knew they were close. Especially since he hear something moving around in water. The hunters wouldn't let him in front of them, but he could still see over their shoulders. Kyuubi only had his front feet in the knee high water. 'Kyuubi,' Arashi called through the mind link before he saw the kitsune raise his head. 'They here. To your right. I'm right behind them.'
'Okay,' Kyuubi replied before he slowly turned and took a few sniffs. The hunters figured that he suspected someone being where they were, but Kyuubi knew thanks to the blond teen. He growled slightly before one of the hunters left, like he was going to try and sneak up behind the kitsune. 'Get back to the village, Arashi,' Kyuubi advised.
'No,' Arashi stubbornly replied. 'I'm staying with you.' Kyuubi snorted before he snapped around and jumped away, narrowly missing a rope that looked like it was meant to wrap around his neck. The red kitsune roared out loudly before two of the other hunters emerged from the trees. The fourth one, Yashi, stayed with Arashi. Coru pulled the rope back to him before he started to twirl it in his hand. Aku looked ready to tackle, as did Goku. When Kyuubi saw the two running towards him, he leapt into the air once again to dodge. When he saw the rope coming towards him, he bit down on it and yanked it out of Coru's hand.
He landed not too far away, growling dangerously, before snapping around and running off. "After him!" Yashi yelled before all four ran after the nine-tailed fox. Arashi, seeing where Kyuubi was heading because the fox sent him a image, ran at top speed to meet the fox there. Surprisingly, Arashi beat Kyuubi to the place where they were to meet the wolves. Konu was already there in wolf form, a large silver wolf with light yellow marks around his red-gold eyes. Seven fluffy tails stayed group together behind the wolf Bijou, making it look like he had one large tail.
"Kyuubi's on his way with the hunters," he said when Konu was about to advance on him. The wolf stopped before raising his head slightly. Not even a minute afterwards, Kyuubi burst from the trees, skidding to a stop next to Arashi. The four hunters came out as well, stopping in their tracks when they saw the large silver wolf, the nine-tailed fox, and a few other large wolves around. They couldn't see Arashi because Kyuubi was crouched low enough to the ground to hide every bit of the blond.
"I brought you the hunters, Konu," Kyuubi growled to the wolf, who nodded before nudging his head towards the four. Before they had time to think of a new plan, each of the demon hunters were grabbed by a wolf.
"The deal is done," Konu replied before the four wolves holding the struggling hunters disappeared into the forest. "I have a small question about your human, Kyuubi No Kitsune."
"What?"
"You plan on making him your mate and bearer of your kits, aren't you?" Konu asked in a knowing, but warning, kind of voice.
"That is none of your concern!" the kitsune barked. Arashi was wondering what the two demons were saying since all he was hearing were growls and such. "What I plan and what I think about is no business of yours."
"Kyuubi?" Arashi called to the fox, who looked back to the human before crouching to the ground, low enough for the blond to climb onto his back.
"Look at that," Konu taunted with a scoff. "A horse for a human!" Kyuubi growled at the wolf a final time before he turned and walked off. "You know it's forbidden, Nine Tails!" Konu yelled to the fox. "Humans and youkai are not meant to bond! That human will lead to your downfall!"
Kyuubi ignored what Konu had said, but the words still reached his mind and replayed over and over through his thoughts loud enough for him to have to block Arashi from the mind link so he wouldn't hear them. 'Arashi won't lead to my downfall,' Kyuubi thought to himself, his eyes narrowing. 'If anything, he makes me feel stronger because of my urge to protect him from harm. He wouldn't lead me to my death. Not unless he had no choice.'
"Hey, Kyuubi," Arashi spoke. "What did he say that got you mad?"
'Nothing,' Kyuubi replied, reopening the mind link. 'Just forget about that he and I speaking at all.'
"Okay," the blond sighed in defeat. He figured the fox would tell him. "You know I'm going to find out eventually, right?"
'And I will remain to be my stubborn self and not say a word of it,' the kitsune pointed out. The teen just smirked.
"Where have you guys been?" Amana asked when Arashi and Kyuubi walked back in.
"Holding up our end of the deal," Kyuubi blankly replied, sitting down on the floor as he leaned his back against the wall, resting an arm on one of his legs that was bent. "The furs and the hunters are in Konu's possession now, so he won't be attacking this village any time soon unless they do something else to piss off the Wolf Clan."
"Guess that means we can go home," Arashi said, sitting on the chair closest to the kitsune. "Doesn't it, sensei?" he asked, looking over to Jiraiya.
"Since our client is back here safely and we have no further business here," Jiraiya stated. "Then yes, we can go home. He's not coming into Konoha, is he?" the gama-sennin questioned, nodding his head towards the red-head.
"He comes into Konoha everyday, even if others can't see him," the blond pointed out with a shrug. "Mostly at night, though, since I visit him in the forest during the day after training and such. But he comes into the village to spy on me."
"Watching over without permission," Kyuubi muttered. "There's a difference between that and spying."
"'Watching over without permission' is a fancier way of saying spying. So, yeah, you're spying on me."
"Whatever," the red-head grumbled, turning his head a different direction.
"We'll leave in a couple hours," Jiraiya spoke when he noticed that Arashi and Kyuubi weren't going to say anything else. "That gives us enough time to get some supplies." The others nodded in understanding.
'That human will lead to your downfall!' Konu's words ran through my head constantly. I could tell Arashi was worried about my thoughts since this is the third time this week I've blocked him out. He knows when I block him out, I'm thinking about something I don't want him to worry about, but it end up with him worrying anyway. It's not something I want him to worry about. It's just something I don't want him to hear. If he knew that bonds between demons and human were forbidden, who knows how he would react. I don't want him thinking about anything Konu had spoken to me.
Who cares if we're forbidden or not? I care for Arashi and will never leave his side. If demons come between us, I will fight for him. No one comes between Arashi and I.
What's Kyuubi thinking about? I've only seen that look on his face when he hears something that annoys him to no end. And he's even growled a few times. Kyuubi, why won't you tell me what's bothering you? I really wanted to ask him that, but he's been known to either ignore those kind of questions or just plain flat say 'It's nothing you need to worry about.' He doesn't get it, does he? When he doesn't tell me anything and when he blocks me out, I do worry.
Within the next two or three days, the team had made it back to Konoha. Kyuubi stopped following when they entered the forest, not going close enough to the gates to be seen. Jiraiya thought the kitsune would say away for a few days since now other people knew he went into the village. How wrong he was. Arashi saw the fox demon that same night. And was currently trying to get Kyuubi to tell him what Konu had said that made him so upset. "Come on, Kyuu," Arashi whined, placing his hands between his knees that laid flat and spread across from each other on the bed where Arashi sat.
"It's nothing you need to worry about," the red-head stated for the tenth time in the last twenty minutes.
"I don't see what the harm is!" Arashi finally snapped. "What did he say that you're hiding from me? You never hide what anybody says about anything! What did he say that has you troubled?"
Kyuubi sighed heavily before looking over to the blond. Arashi was giving him the 'tell me or else' look, which Kyuubi sometimes feared because the teen came up with very convincing or scary ways to get the kitsune to say whatever he's hiding. "Alright," he sighed before going over and sitting down next to the blond on the bed. Arashi's position relaxed some. He pulled his legs out from under him before tucking his knees into his chest, wrapping his arms around them as well, as he laid his head on his knees, looking at the red-headed fox.
"I've been thinking about two things, really," Kyuubi admitted. "One was why did I really save you from that wolf all those years ago." He half expected Arashi to make some sort of smartaleck comment, but the blond stayed silent. "Foxes, wolves, and other demons, when they mate, they mate for life. But very few demon clans can actually sense who their true mates are. I always found that a little confusing and how can one know who their true mate is. I thought nothing of it because it's never really happened to me. I never took in any mate, nor slept with anyone.
"But when I saw you and sensed that wolf nearby, I felt this tug on my instincts to protect you, even if I got hurt in the process. Then my entire mind was consumed by nothing but you for years, and still is now. I think I understand the whole 'sense who the true mate is' thing now."
"So you protected me before because you sensed I was your true mate?" Arashi summed up as a question. "But I was only eight then."
"Age doesn't matter, nor does species or breed," the kitsune stated. "You would have grown older, and you have. All these years, I've just been trying to act like a older brother would, so that would be all I was to you. But my thoughts didn't want to think of you as a younger brother. And my instincts said you never truly thought of me as your older brother either. It was just that little voice at the back of my head that I never really listen to."
"No one really listens to it," the blond laughed. "What was the second thing you were thinking about?" he asked, getting his laughter under control. "Was it something Konu said?"
"Yeah, and about something I've thought before," the red-headed fox replied. "When I first realized why I did save you from the wolf, my thoughts started to get really confusing. I always thought 'No, my true mate can't be a human. Demon and human bonds are forbidden.' And Konu pointed that out to me last time we saw him. He asked me if I was going to make you my mate, and when I ignored what he said, he yelled out that it was forbidden as we were walking away."
"Why is it forbidden?" Arashi asked, blinking a little bit as he sat up a little straight, lowering his legs to sit Indian style.
Kyuubi sighed, scratching the back of his head. "Demons have never truly trusted humans before, and most tell why with a long ancient story," he explained. "All demons tell it to their kits so they would know to avoid humans. Basically, demons have always been on this planet, even before the humans. When the humans came into our world, we demons have agreed to help them thrive and grow. But eventually, the humans, growing greedy and wanting to take over more of the world, started wars with each other, and involved the demons.
"The demons were always put at the front line. They never truly wanted to fight against others of their species or any other clan, but they allied themselves with the humans of their realm. With every demon that had lost his or her life, the humans didn't show if they cared or not. They just sent in more demons. They used the demons so that they themselves won't lose their lives."
"That completely unfair and selfish!" Arashi exclaimed, an angered and annoyed look on his face.
"That's what the demons thought, too, eventually," the fox pointed out. "They started to believe that all the humans cared about was themselves. That they didn't care for other life…the forest…the demons…nothing other than killing others. The demons grew tired of all the wars and being used by the humans. And when they finally realized that the humans were just using them, not caring if they died or not, they abandoned the humans during the wars so the humans had to fight themselves. The demons were at peace with each other again, knowing that they did not want to fight each other.
"The humans, on the other hand, kept fighting and killing. When humans asked for demon assistance, the demons just ignored them and walked off. The lesson that story teaches everyone is that humans are not to be trusted. That every human that forms a bond with a demon will lead to that demons downfall."
"But there are some humans that wouldn't if they cared enough," Arashi pointed out. "Like me! I care for you enough to not want you to die or leave me."
"And there are some demons that realize that not all humans are like the stories say," the fox stated. "You, for example, are not like humans in the stories, and I know that. But to other demons, you are." He sighed, his shoulders giving a small shrug when he did. "Arashi, being with me will be putting you in danger. Demons try to keep to themselves, remember? Meaning demons try their hardest to stay away from humans."
"I don't care!" the blond snapped. "I love you! And I don't want you to leave me because of what others would say! Let's think about the others of this village for a minute. You saw how Jiraiya-sensei reacted when I told him I've been around a demon since I was eight. He didn't like it one bit. If the other people of Konoha find out, then they would start trying to get rid of you to protect themselves or try to keep me away from you. They would tell me lies and such to convince me that you're evil. But I wouldn't care! I don't care what other people say if they find out about us! Why would you care about the other demons?"
By the time he stopped talking, his body was shaking before he lowered his head, his shoulders shaking as small sniffs were heard. Kyuubi reached over, wrapping an arm around the blonde's shoulders, before pulling Arashi to his chest. The teen raised his head and moved fast enough that his head was on the kitsune's chest within a second. "I care only because of what they would do to you," Kyuubi spoke after a minute. "If it were just words, I wouldn't make much of it. But they aren't just words. Demons that form bonds with humans are not accepted very well, and the human usually ends up dead."
Arashi didn't say anything, just gave a small little sniff. "Arashi, I would do anything to protect you, and I've told you so countless times. But if it means for me to leave to protect you, then I will."
"No!" Arashi yelled, gripping Kyuubi's shirt tightly in his tense fist. "I don't want you to leave! I want you to stay here! I want you to stay with me!"
The kitsune shushed Arashi quietly, holding onto the blond a little tighter. "I would do anything to protect you, and anything to keep you happy," he stated. "I'll stay. I won't leave. Not unless I have no choice." Arashi made no sign of acknowledgment. Kyuubi gently raised the blonde's head up with his finger. "Don't you see, Arashi? I would do anything for you." He leaned down slightly, kissing away the small droplets of water on Arashi's face. "Anything," he repeated before capturing the blonde's lips with his own.
Arashi returned the kiss, the hand that was clutching onto Kyuubi's shirt loosening up before slowly trailing up to the kitsune's neck, get tangled in the red locks. Kyuubi's fangs nipped at Arashi's bottom lip, begging for entrance, which the blond granted with a moan. The tongues fought for dominance, which Kyuubi won within seconds. Arashi pulled Kyuubi closer, deepening the kiss. They broke apart for a few seconds to take a breath before their lips attached again. Kyuubi's hands lowered to Arashi's hips before trailing back up, slipping under the white shirt that the blond wore.
His lips left the blonde's before he licked and nipped his way down to Arashi's collar bone, his hands still slowly rising up the shirt. Arashi gave a small gasp when the kitsune's clawed fingers found his hardened nubs before playing with them slightly. Kyuubi pulled away long enough to remove the shirt that he found in the way before he lowered his head, nipped at Arashi's neck again. He gently laid the blond on his back on the bed, one hand on Arashi's waist and the other on his leg. The fox stopped nipping at Arashi's neck, butterfly kissing his way down to the harden nipples on the teen's chest.
When he reached his destination, he licked at the hard nubs before playing with them with his fangs, suckling on them every other bite. Arashi moaned loudly, both his hands getting tangled into Kyuubi's red hair as his back arched up, pressing onto the kitsune's body. The kitsune felt Arashi's hand leave his hair and slid down his back, scratching up little by little of his shirt since he wasn't able to reach the bottom of the clothing. Kyuubi pulled back again before Arashi sat up a little, pulling off the fox's shirt, before laying back down on the bed, tossing the clothing in a random direction.
He smirked at the red-head, who smirked back before kissing Arashi on the lips for a few seconds. When he pulled back, he stationed himself between the blonde's legs, kissing down the teen's chest then stomach until he reached the waist line of Arashi's pants. His thumbs slipped under the waist line, slowly pulling down the article of clothing that was in the kitsune's way, leaving Arashi only in his boxers. "You seem to get excited very easily," Kyuubi commented, stroking the bulge that was plainly seen.
"So what?" Arashi asked with a smirk.
"Hm, never mind," the fox stated with a low hum. "Forget I even spoke," he added lowering again to the blonde's neck, nipping playfully at the flesh. Arashi gave a low moan his arms wrapping around the kitsune's shoulders again as Kyuubi lowered down the teen's body, his hands slowly sliding Arashi's boxers until they were completely off. Kyuubi licked around the area close to the blonde's aching erection, teasing the teen.
"Kyuu, you're such a pain in the ass," the blond growled under his breath before he gasped when Kyuubi's tongue flicked at his tip.
"I'll be a pain in your ass in a moment, Ara-koi," the kitsune purred, sitting up slightly before licking at his fingers. "Question is: do you want me to?"
"Answer to that is 'hell yes'!"
Kyuubi chuckled slightly, pressing his now saliva coated fingers against the teen's entrance, causing the blond to gasp before sliding a finger inside. Arashi moaned loudly as the kitsune added another finger, scissoring both to stretch his entrance, before adding the third. Kyuubi lowered his head again, engulfing the teen's harden cock. Arashi's hands dug tightly into the red locks of the fox from both actions that Kyuubi was doing. He felt the red-head's tongue running up and down his erection with little nips near his tip when Kyuubi raised his head up enough to have very little of the organ in his mouth.
The kitsune smirked when he felt Arashi yell out in pleasure as his fingers brushed against a bundle of nerves before the blond arched his back upwards again, pushing more of the erection into Kyuubi's mouth. The teen groaned in displeasure when Kyuubi pulled away, removing his fingers as well. The fox chuckled from the faint glare he could see in Arashi's bright blue eyes. "Don't worry, koishii," Kyuubi whispered into Arashi's ears as he pushed the blonde's legs apart with his own. "It'll get much, much better in a minute."
Before he could register what happened, Arashi had flipped them over so that Kyuubi was on his back and the blond was straddling the kitsune's waist. "I haven't got a chance to tease you yet," Arashi pointed out with a coy smirk on his lip.
"You've defiantly been around me too long, love," the red-head chuckled as Arashi kissed at his neck, slowly trailing down until he was at the kitsune's hard cock. He looked up at the fox, smirking, before kissing it from tip to base. Kyuubi moaned as the blond sucked on the skin his way back up before licking the erection. "Damn, you're good at teasing," Kyuubi moaned while Arashi continued to kiss and lick at the hard organ. Eventually, Kyuubi couldn't take it anymore. He pulled Arashi back up, kissing him harshly on the mouth, which Arashi returned just as fierce, before flipping them back over.
The fox grabbed Arashi's leg, wrapping it around his waist, as he pressed himself against the blonde's entrance, causing Arashi to gasp. "This may hurt for a moment, Ara-kun," he warned.
"I can handle anything you throw at me," the teen replied with a coy smirk, wrapping his arms around the kitsune's neck. "No matter how big it is," he added, looking down to Kyuubi's harden cock.
Kyuubi chuckled slightly, setting himself into a better position, before quickly sheathing himself into the teen's body. Arashi yelled out, throwing his head back as his nails dug into Kyuubi's shoulders. The kitsune stilled, waiting for Arashi to get used to him being inside of the blonde's body. After a minute, Arashi bucked his hips into Kyuubi's signaling him to go. The red-headed kitsune bent his head down, kissing Arashi on the lips for a second, before pulling back. He slowly pulled himself out of Arashi before thrusting back in, hitting the teen's prostate, which earned him a loud pleasurable yell.
The fox pulled out again, thrusting back in quicker than the first time. Each time, faster than the last. The fox was enjoying the sounds that his human was making with each movement. Every sound just kept getting louder and louder. He felt Arashi's ankles digging into his lower back as the teen's nails kept digging into his skin. Kyuubi grabbed the blonde's erection and started to pump it in time with each thrust. Arashi's moans grew louder. Eventually, Kyuubi felt the blonde's walls tighten around him before Arashi came onto their stomachs. A couple more thrust and the kitsune climaxed inside of the human teen.
His fox ears twitched, hearing the human under him panting slightly while he himself managed to support himself on his hands. Kyuubi lowered his head again, nuzzling Arashi's neck before kissing the teen. "My human," Kyuubi lowly said. "My mate. My Arashi." Arashi just chuckled slightly from the possessiveness in the fox's voice.
Me: there is the lemon everyone has been waiting for. Now review and you shall get the next chapter soon! The mpreg part won't be until later on in the story, so you'll have to b patient with that part.
