Kitsune of the Blue Sun

Chapter 175- Steam and Fox

[Keeno POV]

Our little tea party lasted until about noon when Fu and Moco got up to leave after saying something about another party they were attending. Hresvelgr also decided to leave with the reasoning of she didn’t want to impose on our limited time any longer, which we appreciated. Once it was just the two of us, I scooted my chair closer to Ama’s and wrapped one of my tails around one of hers.

“That was fun.”

{Yes.  It’s been a while since we had a good get together with others.}

“Yeah, though I’m also quite happy it’s just the two of us now.”

{Hehehe.  Feeling needy for attention, are we?}

“From you?  Always.”

Ama waved her hand and the small gazebo we were sitting under vanished.  She replaced it with a large hammock that was connected to several trees close by.  Honestly, it was more like a super comfy trampoline than a hammock, but potatoes tomatoes, semantics can die in a fire right now.  I gently slid into her open arms, resting my head in the crook of her neck.

{You really like that spot.  It’s the first place you go when we get this close, and you aren’t resting in my lap.}

“It’s the perfect spot. My head fits perfectly, I get to be close to you, and I get to breathe in your scent entirely.  Plus, I like the way your hair tickles my ears a bit.”

{Hehe.}

I closed my eyes and breathed deep, Ama’s calming, citrus scent almost lulling me to sleep when I felt a slight tugging sensation on on of my tails. Moving a bit to see what was going on I saw that Ama pulled out a brush and was having her way with one of my free tails.

{All this ash is getting matted in there, Keeno.}

“I know.” I said as I buried my face back into her neck and hair. “I’ve been trying my hardest to take care of it, but there isn’t much I can do. It’s not like I can protect my tails with some kind of space barrier.”

{True.  Guess I just have to take meticulous care of you then.}

“Would you say you have to inspect every single inch of me?”

The seductive tone in my voice seemed to have the intended effect as Ama’s free tails began to wave.

{I’ll gladly do so soon.  First though, I think we need a bath.  You so you can get this ash out of your tails, and me so I can enjoy the view.}

“It’s funny you think you’re the only one getting a nice view.”

{Fufufu.}

Ama picked me up bridal style and floated us off the hammock.

“I see you’re putting that new spell you came up to good use.”

{Naturally.}

Gently landing on the ground our clothes vanished and a boiling pool appeared under our feet.  I was gently laid into the hot stone floor before Ama eased herself down as well.  We both let out contented sighs.

“This is nice.  You always know the perfect temperature, Ama.”

{Of course.  I know you are tired of those freezing ones you have to take down there, so I like to indulge you in the finer things.}

“Hehe.  Now then, as much as I’d like to take this opportunity to add steamy to this hotness, I think we should start working on my tails before we run out of time.”

{True.}

We got to work washing out my tails which, with out powers combined, took a surprisingly small amount of time.  Once we were finished, we both relaxed, spreading out as much as we could.

{Ash…so annoyingly persistent.}

“And sticky.  No wonder civilizations in ancient times used it to make cement.”

Ama wrapped one of her tails around my arms and pulled.  I willingly let myself fall into her, my face landing on her literal heavenly pillows.

“Ama, you’re playing with fire.”

{Oh.  Let’s see if I get burned.}

The pillowy flesh encompassing my face was a tempting target, I decided to save those delicacies for later.  I moved up until I was straddling Ama’s lap, my arms wrapped around her neck, and our foreheads pressed against each other.  Staring into her eyes, the ember of desire in my chest started to become an inferno.

Her glowing orange eyes.  Her lips ever so slightly parted.  Her breathing even and hot.  The anticipation in her expression, the look of longing and impatience.  Everything about her made my body hot.  Every action made my mind fill with the sole desire to have her.  She was mine.  I was hers.  Our bodies and souls made perfectly for one another.  I know everything she likes; she knows everything I like.

“It’s not enough, Ama.”

{Keeno?}

“It’s never enough.  Every time I see you, I want more.  I want YOU more!  Your body, your soul, your time, your EVERYTHING!”

I didn’t have to look back to know my wings had appeared, and I could see my horns reflected in Ama’s eyes along with how my pupils had shrunk to the thinnest black lines possible.  I could hear the water start to boil even more and I could feel my tails light, the blue from the fires reflecting everywhere, giving our surroundings a blue hue.

{Keeno, don’t let the dragon instincts take over there isn’t time for me to satisfy you if you do.}

The coolness of her words broke the trance I was in.  I moved slightly back.

{Are you back to me, Keeno?}

“What was that, Ama?”

{Dragon instincts.  You usually let them take over when we are together, though you were more aware of them this time.  You’re spending too much time around dragons.}

“Is it going to become a problem?”

{Not particularly, I actually find it quite nice, but if you let them take over completely now, we’ll keep going until the sun sets, and I don’t want to miss the pillow talk.}

“Hehe.  If that’s so, then how about you teach me to let my foxy instincts lead?”

{Then we’d be here even longer, how about an even mix of both.}

“I’m up for that.”

I let go of Ama and picked her up in the same kind of bridal carry she held me in earlier and leapt up, landing back on our hammock.  We superheated ourselves to dry off.

{Shall the goddess valiantly fight off the foxy dragon, or will the foxy dragon successfully manage to subdue the goddess today?}

“I think the foxy dragon has the advantage today.”

{Hehehehehe.  Then prove it.}

Chaos Realm:

Luna: I’m upset.  She’s becoming more and more dragon.  Don’t get me wrong, dragons are cool and all, but kitsune are better.

Don’t worry, we should get more than enough kitsune influence soon.

Luna: Good…that was rude of me.

It’s fine.  She has been focusing on her dragon aspects a lot and neglecting her kitsune side.  It’s because she only has Amaterasu as a fellow kitsune to learn from.  With the amount in the city she’s about to go to, it should be able to even out her imbalance.

Luna: So, it’s just an imbalance?

Yep.

Luna: Is there more to it than just face value?

Not really.  And even in this sense it’s more of a metaphorical imbalance.  Remember, the only other interaction between Keeno and other kitsune, aside from Amaterasu, were the two that brought her physical body into the world.  She hasn’t run into any others very often, so she only really knows abuse.  Once she interacts with more kitsune mortals, she should get a small shift.

Luna: I see.  Guess all that’s left is to wait and see then.

Indeed.
