Chapter One: The meeting
#1 of Tails of Fate
Disclaimer: Since my first story was such a bomb, I decided to go with something different, its about a story of a Kitsune and a male. Over time there relationship will grow closer and soon magic will come into there relationships. but that is for another story. I hope you will enjoy the story. As well comments about how you liked the story would be beneficial for the second story.
"Help me" The Kitsune yells up to me.
"I won't let you go" I yell back. When I say that I look beyond her and far below her is a wall of water, and if I let go, it will be her watery grave...
Beep! Beep! Beep! Hearing the alarm I bolt up in bed, I notice that I'm in a cold sweat, but not sure why I am. I also have a sense of dread flow over my mind as if something bad is about to happen. "Was it just a dream?" I say out loud to no one except myself. I then Shake my head, get up out of bed and head towards the shower to cool down and try to understand what the dream was about. Was it real? Or was it just a dream?
{Well that's how it all started... that is how the day my life changed began. Little did I realize but what I had just witnessed in my dream, was a glimpse into the future; It will be a life or death decision that will not only effect my life, but the life of another living being.}
{Now, to start things off, my name is Tony; I live in the city of Chicago where the famous Golden Gate Bridge lies. I guess you could call me the average Joe; I am a Caucasian, 5 foot 8 human male, who has an average job, a run down apartment , and an average dick with pretty much a lonely life. Because at the age of 21... I am still a virgin. Not many people can admit to that mainly because people would think you were a loser, but when you have been laughed at and ridiculed your entire life you get used to it, so its nothing new to me.}
{Before I get any further into the story; I'd like to fill you in on something that has been steadily been becoming more popular. Furries... ever since Y2K anthropomorphic animals have been showing up all across the world. At first they were ridiculed just like I was, but as furries became more popular, laws were passed to make them become citizens just like humans were. After 7 years it isn't odd if you see a furry walking down the street, or have a house of there own.}
Getting out of the shower, I grab a towel and dry myself off; after I put on some clothes I head down the hall of my apartment and narrowly avoid hitting a chair. When I reach the kitchen I see dishes in the sink and smell something rotting. It isn't much of an apartment really, after moving out of my parents home I found it hard to find a job as well as an apartment. This apartment was nice enough but I needed something more.
I open the fridge door and find nothing except some bad milk and left over takeout food. I then close the fridge door and decide to head out for my early morning walk. Looking at the time, it reads 5:10am. I open the front door and head out into the chilly morning; The destination is nowhere in particular but in the darkness of predawn it doesn't really matter...
Meanwhile somewhere not far away, a female Kitsune with a stunning body and 12 tails also gets up and out of bed; however she does not take a shower, get dressed or even eat breakfast. What she decided is she is going to finally end her miserable life so she doesn't have to feel pain any longer. She then heads toward the front door and opens it; She Looks behind herself and sees a mess. not bothering to pick any of it up, she heads out into the predawn and toward the bridge.
{Little did the both of them know, but the actions that they did on this particular morning would seal both of their fates.}
Since its 5 o'clock in the morning, there is little to no traffic which is what the Kitsune wanted, this way there would be no one to see her fall. she finally reaches the bridge and sees no cars in sight, when she decides the coast is clear, she heads to the middle of the bridge where she would take her last breathe.
At the same time, Tony reaches the other side of the bridge and takes a long deep breath of fresh air. He too starts to walk on the bridge, with the Kitsune walking in his direction intent on ending her life.
As the Kitsune reaches the middle of the bridge, she sees the human and freezes dead in her tracks realizing someone might stop her from ending her life. Not knowing what else to do, she turns towards the railing, hops onto it and jumps...
I see a figure walking towards me in the opposite direction, as she gets closer I take note that she's a Kitsune, a beautiful one as well with... what? 12 tails? That's impossible! As thoughts run through my head, she spots me and has some sort of panic look on her face; confused I ask her "is something wrong miss?" She must not have heard me because she turns toward the railing and jumps off the bridge...
As she falls she closes her eyes and doesn't expect what happens next; she feels a hand grab her paw while in mid air... As her weight goes down onto his arm, she hears a loud pop when his arm dislocates. He yells out in pain and almost loses his grip on my paw. She then realizes she doesn't want to die and yells up to him "HELP ME!!!"
Tony then replies back "I won't let you go, just hold on!!" But with each passing second she feels him losing his grip on her paw so she decides to jam her claws into his hand so she won't fall any further.
When I see her jump I rush over to the railing, plant my body firmly against it, and throw my hand out to catch her before she falls any further. But when I hear the popping sound my arm makes feeling like it just got ripped out of the socket, I yell out in pain and almost lose my grip,thankfully I don't lose my grip and manage to hold on. Shortly after this happens I feel her claws enter my hand, increasing the pain. I bring my other hand to her paw and grab it "Hold on miss."
She nods and I then try to pull her up with all my might. I barely manage to get her feet onto the bridge so she can get her footing. When she does she slowly climbs over the railing and the both of us collapse onto the bridge ground, breathing heavily.
A few minutes later I ask her "why did you jump?"
She turns to me and replies "Because I have nothing left to live for..." She then starts to cry and lower her head onto my shoulder. After a couple of minutes of her crying, she opens her eyes and sees my arm all twisted and bleeding. "Oh god... I'm so sorry"
I then look down at the arm and try to smile "don't worry about it, a trip to the hospital will make it all better."
She looks at me and shakes her head "no I have a better idea, lets go to my place; I have just the right thing to heal it."
All I can do is nod, she helps me get up and leads me off the bridge towards her home where she claims she will be able to fix my arm.
As we are walking, I look over at her and say "by the way, my name is Tony" I extend my hand towards her.
She then looks back at me and says "my name is Jasmine" she extends her paw and shakes my hand with a strong grip. I can't help but smile at her strength; she sees the smile and asks. "what are you smiling about?"
"You have nice strong hands, I like someone that takes good care of their body. She looks at me and starts to blush "Thank you."
A while later we stop in front of a drive way. "here we are, my home; I thought I'd never see it again to tell you the truth." I nod and we head to the front door, she opens it up without even unlocking it. "I didn't bother to lock the door either" she explains.
As we step into he bungalow I look around and see a neat little hall way, there's a picture of her, her mate and two children, I take note and will ask her about it later. As we exit the hallway and into her living room; I notice she has a beat up old couch, 20 inch screen T.V. a recliner chair and a night stand. I also notice that there are more pictures of her, her mate and two children.
After we both take a seat on the couch, the first thing I ask her is. "Jasmine, what happened to your mate and children?"
she looks at me with wide eyes and shock when I mentioned her family. when the shock wares off she sighs with a few tears in her eyes. "They were killed..." she looks down and away from me. Shocked at what I heard at first.
I then understand why she did what she did and ask her "what happened to them?"
She looks back up and looks into my eyes."Well my mate decided that he wanted to take our children to the circus; however on this day I was too tired to tag along so I stayed home... this is one decision I will regret for the rest of my life. So they left and headed across town; As they came to a stop light which was green for them at the time, they went through just as a transport truck went through the red light on the right hitting the car, instantly killing all three..."
She stops talking and looks down, breaking into tears and crying hard. I take my good arm and hold her close to me, letting her cry. A few minutes later she stops crying and sees my broken, bleeding arm "I'm sorry, I've been so caught up in my emotions, I completely forgot about your arm."
I smile at her and say "its alright, I'm used to pain."
She takes my arm in her paws gently "just relax, this won't hurt at all."
At first I was a little confused at the comment, but I try to relax, as I am, I see her hands start to glow, the glow then goes over to my arm and spreads all over it. I start to feel my bones mend back to the way they were as well as the cut in my hand start to close up. After a bit the glow starts to fade away and my arm is all fixed up and back to normal. the only sign of the injury is four scars on my palm where her claws went through.
"Thanks... but how did you do that?"
She just smiles at me and says "well I'm not sure if you know this, but the more tails a Kitsune has, the more power and abilities they have. I have the ability to heal, which is what I just did to your arm."
"Wow I said, you must be very powerful since you have 12 tails."
She giggles and nods "well after you've been around for a thousand years you get pretty knowledgeable..."
