Healing a small fox
The chirping of the birds mixes with the sound of footsteps going through the forest calmly, carefully as a dark purple haired woman descends through its slopes to access the most quiet and beautiful part of it: its lake.
Sara then stops and closes her eyes for a moment to take a deep breath, enjoying the fresh smell of the morning dew as the sun gets out of its hiding place to bathe everything with its bright rays and make the colors of the nature surrounding her more vibrant if possible.
A soft smile graces the always stoic general's lips upon the peaceful and pleasant sensation, before a frown appears on her features, opening her eyes to scan the area around her upon the sound of a faint whimper.
She takes small and quiet steps around, before she finally finds the source of the whimpers: a small pink fox curled at the base of an old tree.
Confused, she crouches to take a better look at it noticing its disheveled and dirty fur as well as some scratches, before she notices its wounded leg. As she's about to touch it, the small fox hisses at her, wriggling out of her reach.
- Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you.
She tells the small fox softly, seeing it narrowing its eyes at her, before letting her get close again. Sara can't help then but notice the blood coating its pink fur as the little creature shivers, so she decides to take her haori off to wrap it around the fox hoping it can help it to stay warm and stop shivering.
- Better? – she asks with an amicable smile on her lips, before she hears the fox grumbling, letting her take its small leg in her hands to examine it – I think it'd be the best if I take you to the healers.
As soon as she ends saying that, the fox hisses harder at her as if it was somehow disagreeing with her.
- Then to the Gran Narukami Shrine? I'm sure Lady Guuji, or any of the other shrine maidens can heal you.
Sara says getting an even more violent reaction from the small creature, surprising her.
- Then… huh, to my house? – she asks the fox more than affirming it, hearing the little creature grumbling reluctantly, yet settle down with it – Then it's decided, I'll take you to my house to heal you.
The general states as she takes the small bundle in her arms, making sure to not cause the little fox in it any pain, before she spreads her wings ready to fly.
- Hold on tight, little one.
She tells the small creature softly, pressing the fox against her chest as she begins to plough through the skies, feeling it curling up more against it and in her hold, nuzzling her chest while purring.
A soft smile draws on her lips as she crosses the skies to finally reach her house, entering it through a window to carefully place the creature on her bed.
- Wait here, and please, don't escape. I'll be back in a bit.
Sara pleads the small fox, before she hurries away. Soon enough, she's reappearing through the door to unwrap the bundled creature of her haori and take the small fox in her arms once again to head towards the bathroom.
As soon as the fox sees the bathtub full of water, it starts to hit Sara's chest with its paws trying to break free from her hold, but it's futile, the general is stronger and already introducing it into the hot bathtub for a nice bath. The small fox can't help but yelp and grumble, sinking further into the warm water as it glares at Sara.
- I'm sorry, but I need to get you clean before taking care and disinfect your wounds.
She apologizes, stroking the fox's wet fur as the small creature allows her to wash it with her shampoo, smelling like sandalwood while purring at the light scratches and massages from Sara.
Sara's giggles fill the air and the fox can't help but enjoy the melodic sound of it, enjoying the rare sight of the always stoic general's carefree and sweet smile.
Once the dark purple haired woman finishes washing and rinsing the fox, Sara dries its fur, giggling harder at the amusing sight, before she gets a glare in return and as she quickly starts to disinfect the scratches and wounds on the fox's leg, bandaging it carefully.
As soon as she ends, she notices the wary look on the small furry creature's face, placing its wrapped leg on the floor to begin walking tentatively, before Sara takes it in her arms.
- It'll be the best if you don't do that, you need to rest so it heals properly.
She tells the small fox as she carries it back to her bed, placing it on her mattress to see it wriggle on it until it's over the upper part of her haori, eliciting a giggle from her as well as a soft smile.
Sara strokes the fox's fur for a while, hearing the creature purring calmly, before tucking it in her haori and then in her dark sheets hoping that being warm helps the injured furry creature with its recovery.
- Sleep for a bit, it'll do you well.
She whispers, leaving another stroke on the fox's soft fur, before she attempts to leave, but to her surprise, the small creature takes her hand in between its little paws, grumbling at her and making her chuckle.
- I guess I'll stay with you.
She says softly, hearing the fox grumbling contentedly, its tail wagging under her sheets thumping the mattress loudly, before the furry creature closes its eyes to fall asleep.
Sara can't help but watch the small fox sleep peacefully for a while, before her eyes begins to feel heavy and she falls asleep too beside it with her hand still captive in the fox's paws.
She wakes up a couple of hours later with the feeling of somebody stroking her face, jolting startled as she finds herself staring into a pair of mischievous yet soft amethyst eyes looking at her.
- You finally wake up, my general.
A cheeky voice says, before Sara realizes of the state of nakedness of the woman beside her in bed, quickly turning around and shutting her eyes tightly.
- L-l-lady Guuji! What are you doing in my bed!? And naked!?
Sara squeals high-pitched, eliciting a laugh from the Guuji who can't help but smirk at her reaction.
- Ara~ you don't remember the small cute fox you took home with you? How cruel my general, I'm deeply hurt.
Yae teases Sara, noticing her ears growing red.
- I-I apologize l-lady Guuji. I didn't know it was you.
Sara apologizes still not looking at the pink haired woman naked in her bed, only her sheets covering her. Yae for her part, can't help but grin wider as she scoots closer to hug Sara's body from behind, hearing her gasping as she turns completely red upon the feeling of her breasts against her back.
- Thank you for taking care of me and healing me – Yae thanks her softly, kissing the space under her ear as the general places one of her hands over her bandaged one.
- Y-you're welcome!
She squeals still embarrassed, making Yae's smirk return to her lips, before she decides to keep teasing the general a bit more.
