Kitsune Lina

Connecting

Lina dropped back towards the bed, and was surprised when Xellos turned them around as they fell so that Lina ended up on top. Lina pulled back from their kiss a moment and looked at him confused. He smiled, reaching up to rub the thin skin of her black furred ears. Lina sighed, almost crooning, as Xellos' face came up to meet hers again.
"You have a tail," Xellos whispered into her ear, blowing softly as he did so.
"Oh, right," Lina muttered, as she loosened Xellos's cloak, and began hastily working on his tunic. She nipped at his ear, as the mazoku's hand began moving down her back.
"Its not so bad is it?" Xellos asked as he stroked the shock of red fur about her tail. The light scrape of claws trailing up his back were accompanied by a soft canine croon that answered his question.
"Stop talking," Lina breathed roughly. Xellos had to stop a moment to let her pull the tunic over his head, but only for a moment.
Lina gasped as Xellos started tickling the fine fur coating her breasts, she closed her eyes and relished the exquisite feel of each fiber pulling lightly at the flesh underneath. Like a soft breeze brushing across her skin.
Lina straightened her back as Xellos worked his lips down from her neck to her hardened nipples. The were-fox reached down Xellos's back and pulled his breeches down past his hips while her partner's hands were split between dancing along her spine and caressing the soft fur between her legs.
Xellos let Lina carry his head back up to hers and they both locked lips as the mazoku kicked his pants the rest of the way off. Their hands moved to each other's backs as they crushed there bodies against each other. Lips and tongues ranged over ears, necks, and mouths while their lower bodies realigned.
Lina gave short cut off yelp as Xellos entered her and her claw fingers dug shallow furloughs into his back. Xellos' face laid by Lina's nibbling on the tip of her ear. Lina's tail swished smoothly and rapidly as she and Xellos adapted to each other's rhythm. Periodically a sharp yelp or grunt escaped from between gritted teeth. Lina's claws dug more furrows into Xellos' back as the earlier marks healed.
A small amount of pain on both sides had triggered natural stimulants to be released for accelerated healing and activity. Already superior senses were hyped as the intensity came to a boiling point. The yelps, sighs and grunts were more constant than periodic now.
Their eyes spent more time locked than roaming, each delving the other's soul for something to cling to. For a brief moment they were in total harmony; physical, emotional and spiritual. Lina cried out, almost a howl, and her eyes opened wide as she then pulled several quick breaths in. Lina cried out twice more, and then finally arched her back almost double as she and Xellos cried in one combined voice.
Xellos fell back against the bed as Lina slumped forward, supported by her arms on either side of the mazoku's head. Their eyes remained locked as they caught their breath and let there bodies come down from the intense sensations they had just experienced.
Lina let herself fall forward and encircled her arms around the mazoku, Xellos cradled the fox-girl in response. They wearily kissed deeply one more time, and then Lina slid off Xellos and snuggled against his side. The were-fox softly fell asleep gripping the mazoku, who closed his eyes and relaxed into a guarded sleep of his own.

Xellos woke up before the sun rose, and saw Lina still sleeping next to him, snoring loudly as usual. He wondered at the connection he had felt with the new therianthrope earlier, that momentary joining of souls. He had felt traces of it before with Lina, the tendency to think along similar lines for instance. Last night had been different, more complete and intense. It reminded him somewhat of the bond he owed to his master, Zelas.
He couldn't see the sun rising, but he did watch enrapt as the fox-like features retreated from Lina's form. This transformation seemed much smoother and obviously without pain than the other. Xellos thought he knew why. Awake, Lina was afraid as the change approached, she fought it and the change was difficult, painful. She was much better off to go through the change asleep. That conclusion brought a twinge of guilt for waking her up just before sun set.
The mazoku gently disengaged himself from the still sleeping Lina, and he stroked a stray lock of hair away from her face. A trace of silver was starting to show at the roots of some of the hairs. Lina was going to have a silver streak a little off center of her forehead. He imagined what it would look like and smiled as he collected his clothes. The woman was beautiful, that was all there was too it.
Shuffling around, he found her gear, and a pile of discarded clothes. The hooded cloak sitting off to the side seemed fine, but the rest were mostly bloody rags and some ill-fitting, for Lina, garments that she had probably snatched as replacements. He was no longer confused as to why Lina had been sleeping naked.
He shuddered when he saw them, the pain, despair and humiliation oozing from the remnants were the very sort of nutrition he required, but he didn't like the source. Xellos glanced over at Lina again, no wonder she was so tired. She was crashing from the regeneration.
The mazoku dug a little further and found some coins, looking back at Lina he estimated that she would be asleep for at least another hour. That decided he teleported away.

Lina woke up to the sight of a half-empty bed, she snapped to a seating position.
"Xellos?!"
"I'm here," the mazoku responded from her right. She rose from the bed and embraced him.
"Don't leave," she said. "Everybody else left."
"I'm not going anywhere, yet," Xellos answered. "But tomorrow I'll have to leave, annoying Zelas won't help either of us."
"I know, I know," Lina sighed. "I just..."
"Need somebody?" the trickster smiled.
"Yeah, how'd you guess?"
"Sore wa himitsu desu," he waggled his finger at her playfully, and she rolled her eyes. "I have a surprise for you." He pointed towards the bundle next to him. Lina released him and picked up the bundle, intrigued. Unwrapping it she found a pile of clothes, breeches dyed a deep-reddish brown and a loose tunic of dark green leather. Next to the chair on the flor was a pair of black riding boots.
"These are for me?" She asked.
"Well I used your money," she rolled her eyes at him again in mock irritation, and then giggled at his innocent smile. "The coloring should be useful when travelling through the wilderness."
"Thank you, I needed some new clothes," Lina said.
"One more thing," Xellos lifted his amulet over his head and handed it over to her. She took it reluctantly, a little confused. "You'll always be able to contact me as long as you have that. And I'll always know where you are."
"Let's not turn this into a farewell," Lina demanded as she started getting dressed in her new clothes. "I have you for one more day, I want to enjoy that."
"As you wish," Xellos laughed, feeling pleased at the substantial upswing of Lina's emotions.
