_ Alex _

Alex's Background -

As a child Alex had caused a lot stress for both of her parents. All the time they would spend fortunes upon fortunes in trying to get her a dress so that she would one day marry a fine young man. And all the time her father and mother would find Alex returning home with the dresses ripped, destroyed, and full of mud.

And so one day they did the best thing they could, they raised her as a boy instead. They got her boy's clothes and very often it was safe to say Alex spent more time with her father in the blacksmith then with her mother at home. Besides, Alex loved being in the blacksmith. It wasn't too often that girls were able to create and occasionally use their own swords. The only strange thing was that there was always incense burning in the black smith to hide Alex's scent.

Being a boy (sort of) was the best thing that ever happened to Alex, because in a lot of ways being a guy was a lot better then being a girl. She even made friends a lot easier. Once Alex even grew up believing that If you were a girl in Kirathain the only thing you were good for was marrying a man, feeding that man, and giving that man a child.

And truth be told Alex hated kids, Alex couldn't cook, and she wanted to be far more then just some mans childbearing wife. Back then she wanted to be a man, just like her father. And as for her mother? Well, Alex never actually felt too close to her. As horrible as it was Alex felt her mother was weak and she practically looked up only to her father.

So of course soon enough Alex was completely absorbed into her imaginary identity. She knew how to talk like a boy, she knew how to act like a boy and she knew how to treat women as a boy would. Hell, her favourite thing to do was pick on girls until she reached the age of thirteen. And the guy who she did these things with was Arthur; they did everything together when he was around.

Being young and naïve Alex thought from there that her life would have a clear path. She was going to live the life of a boy and grow up to be a blacksmith, just like her dad. But that was before even more problems came. Often times her parents would argue about what they'd do with Alex because neither of them could hide that she wasn't going to be young forever. Eventually she was going to grow breasts, so how was she going to hide those? And how was she ever going to meet that special someone?

And before that problem could be resolved they were both dead. Alex's father fell ill and as did Alex's mother. They both died the same way and together they were buried under the same grave, perhaps resting together wherever they both were.

Because she had Adam as her godfather Alex was lucky never to be thrown into an orphanage. Following the deaths of her parent's death Alex had coped with her loss by going about with her friends. While Arthur found it amazing how she kept everything together and remained silent about her own problems it was Alexander who comforted her and listened to all of her problems. That's probably why she liked him, while most of her friends were just guys she had fun with Alexander was probably the only one that actually knew her.

Over time the wounds healed and Alex had gotten used to the fact that Adam, a dear friend to her fathers, was now her guardian. And in a lot of respects he was like her father. A lot of the time he would share stories of how the two of them fought in wars and sailed the seas. For the most part they got along perfectly fine but of course there was one drawback.

Adam was a lonely man. He was kind, he was hard working, but none the less he was still a lonely man and one night he couldn't help him self. Even though he was a man in his early forties and even though Alex was the fourteen year old daughter of his dead best friend he had asked her for a favour, just one favour.

After being asked to do such a thing of course Alex was disgusted and she kept her distance from Adam in the house. The two of them lived in an uneasy peace and despite the possibility of him actually raping her things were just fine in the house. She wasn't afraid of him and if things were to ever take a turn for the worse she had a sword in her room.

And actually, Adam never tried to get what he wanted through force; he was playing a completely different game. Each time they were in the same room she could always feel him eying her body. She wasn't ever worried about him jumping on her from behind but eventually he got what he wanted. And the worst part was it was completely consensual.

Adam had threatened her in a way she'd never imagined. He never threatened to beat her, to kill her, or to even harm her. He was far smarter then that, he had threatened to blackmail her.

Adam was her father's best friend. If there was ever a man that knew she was a girl back then it was him. His threat was to spread the word that she was a girl. The very way Alex lived her life was a way in which a girl could not indulge. To have others know that she was a girl was going to end up being treated as one.

What Alex especially hated was how she gave in just like that. It wasn't like he held her down and beat her. No, it was far worse then that. She gave him what he wanted and without even a struggle he got what he wanted. He tasted her, he felt her, and he even tied with her.

And just like when her parents died she hanged out with both Arthur and Alexander to cope with her problems. To both of them she shared that she had sex but she never mentioned who it was or on how she was basically blackmailed.

While Alexander was a saint willing to comfort Alex anyway he could Arthur asked her what sex was like. After all, he didn't know she was basically black mailed by her step father. 'It's warm, it's wet, it's unclean and it ruins the fur.' Alex replied.

It wasn't until she was sixteen that Alex had told anyone besides Alexander that she was a girl. It was around the time she was introduced to Arthur's friend, Toby. One day the three of them spent the day in his house mainly playing pranks on each other and not too long after Toby left she had told Arthur she wasn't a man.

He didn't believe her; the bulge in her pants was pretty convincing that she wasn't a girl. And so she showed him her breasts. From the shock of actually seeing a pair of boobs for a first time and finding out that his manliest friend was girl he had done nothing more then look at the floor boards of his room for an entire two minutes. It was a lot to take in all at once. The moments following Alexander would do another thing that would shock him, she was practically begging to keep her gender a secret and she was begging for him to treat her the exact same as he used to.

And for the most part he was just as loyal as she could hope. Besides him asking questions about what it was like being a girl and what not everything was pretty much the same as it always had been. Well, except maybe for the fact that he told Toby that she was a girl. Alex knew because Toby asked. Unlike Arthur Alex didn't have to give Toby any proof. She just said yes and he believed her. And unlike Arthur Toby treated her completely differently then when he thought she was a man. For one, he was a lot shyer around her.

Sixteen was an interesting age for Alex. For one Adam finally stopped using her as a fuck toy and because he couldn't get it up he seemed to finally realize the things he had done. He never really apologized to Alex but she didn't care. He was miserable, quiet, and they hardly acknowledged that the other existed so she was just happy with that. From then on Adam had to live with the guilt that he betrayed his dead best friend and fucked his daughter.

After sixteen years of her life Alex was finally honest with her self. She was a girl. It wasn't because she thought she was a boy that she was stronger then most and it wasn't because she dressed like a boy that she supposedly acted like one. She was a strong girl that dressed like a boy because she was Alex.

Sixteen was also a fun time for her because it was the very peak of when she experimented with her pseudo gender. She went to places only men could go. (Which was pretty much everywhere, her own personal favourite places to go were taverns. From losers to travelers she enjoyed the company she had. Sometimes when she was feeling really playful she'd even hit on the waitresses.)

Heck, during the time Alex even had a girlfriend. Alex wasn't really attracted to girls but none the less it was interesting to say the least. Her name was Danika and she was a sweet little thing. While she wasn't necessarily a beautiful vixen Alex did find she was kind of cute. Her interests were felines, music and she really liked being petted. And all the while Alex would tell Arthur in explicit detail of her relationship with Danika. Not at all excluding the kissing, the fingering and the other things the parents were completely unaware of.

The relationship came to an abrupt end when they hugged each other a bit too close and Danika felt Alex's breasts against hers. Since then they never spoke.

It was at the age of seventeen when Alex started stealing from others. It all started one night when Alexander kissed her on the cheek. At first she didn't know why he had done it and so just moments later as they looked into each others eyes he explained he was accepted into a university and that neither of them were going to see each other for awhile.

And the thing was Alex wasn't even sure whether she was happy that he was accepted, whether she was upset that he was leaving, or if she was scared that he'd come back as a completely different person, that he'd become one of those people. And why yes, just like all the rest of her problems she overcame Alexander's departure by hanging around with her friends. She never mentioned Alexander to neither Arthur nor Toby but simply being around them made it all better.

Then there were the times when she was alone in her house with the man who used to rape her. During these times she was not just an emotional wreck, she was a completely different person. She'd shout at Adam, she'd insult Adam and believe it or not, she'd even hit him. Slapping, punching, pushing, and sometimes even throwing him around. And you better believe Adam was afraid of his adopted daughter. He'd just be sitting down and drinking a glass of water and suddenly she'd come after him.

It wasn't just over Alexander. It was all about everything that went wrong in Alex's life and she took it all out on Adam because he had inflicted the most misery on her. And Alexander wasn't just capable of hurting Adam physically; at times he'd even break down crying afterwards. A grown man in his forties none the less.

Eventually the question came to Alex's mind whether the things she had done to him were far worse then what he'd done to her or not. And so Alex apologized to him before running away and moving to an old abandoned house she called home.

To take her mind off Alexander and the ways she had abused her step father Alex had found a hobby in making lock picks. You would assume this was the first sign in her becoming a thief but really, during her entire life it was written that Alex would make a decent thief.

At a young age if she ever wanted something Alex would never beg her parents to get it. Instead she would simply take it her self. Besides that she would also pick pocket her friends just for the sake of seeing the expression on their faces when they saw her holding something that was there's. Probably the most interesting thing she ever found was a condom in Arthurs pocket and his reaction was priceless to say the least.

What pushed Alex to start stealing was hunger. And from there the need to steal soon became a hobby. Soon enough she'd find her self breaking into houses not necessarily taking things she needed, but things that caught her eyes.

While Toby would eventually become her partner to steal to survive she stole things because she enjoyed it.

Eighteen was probably the last dramatic year she had before her life became more of a routine just like everyone else. Along with Toby and Arthur she was conscripted. On that day Toby had disappeared and it would seem the three friends were now only two. Alex and Arthur often joked on how they were probably going to be armed with rocks, crimson blossoms and gold coins. Kirathain's army besides it's mass conscripted civilians and mass conscripted convicts was pretty pathetic. After all, Kirathain was a commercial city where both pike and spear were pretty much unseen. But none the less Alex was anxious to see the situation through.

And before she was given the chance Alex was removed from the army. Arthur had told them that Alex was a girl. He was worried what would happen to her if they found out she had a vagina months later in a battle. The two of them spent their last days together talking about death, war and what they were going to do once the war ended. And then there was the thing they had done before Arthur left.

They had sex.

While Alex was a bit mad on how Arthur had spread the word that she was a girl, she was also grateful that he basically saved her from death. And amongst the conflicting emotions she also felt pity. He was probably going to die before he even had a girlfriend. She offered one night without any regrets. At first Arthur was reluctant because he never really saw Alex as a girl. He saw her as a boy that was his best friend. What changed his mind though was the harsh truth that he might not ever have the chance to mate, kiss, or even hug.

For the both of them it was a pretty strange night. To each other they had done things neither of them had ever even imagined doing to the other. The morning after nothing had really changed between them.

In her short life Alex had done it with a lot of men and a few women. Many would consider such behavior slutty but it never really crossed Alex's mind because she actually didn't care all too much for sex. While Reliath did it for enjoyment and he did it often because he nearly always had fucking something or being fucked by something on his mind. Alex did it because she didn't really care. To her it wasn't this sacred act and to her it wasn't this amazing sensation. Sex was just sex, no less or more intrusive then a handshake.

** ** ** ** **

The Cerulean

Very lately Reliath had noticed changes in Toby's attitude. Toby was still fairly shy and still he kept away from the crew but recently he seemed a lot more cheerful, playful and optimistic. Reliath couldn't really blame him either, maybe this was how he used to act before he was shot in the knee and almost hanged. Besides the positives in his sudden change of mood it also seemed he acted a lot different around and towards Alex.

In fact, Reliath found Toby's attitude towards Alex pretty odd. Despite him being more friendlier the two of them seemed to suddenly argue a lot more. And afterwards they often made up by hugging and kissing each other on the cheek.

Red Foxes were fucking weird. Reliath had concluded from his

The fights they had were never bad but fairly often it was started over trivial things. The way they argued were more like friends disagreeing on a certain point as opposed to a couple growing more and more sick of each other. According to Alex Toby was basically being his old self and besides the fighting Toby's days were dull and without too much burden or stress.

The same couldn't be said for Kaida though. At around 7 P.M in the candle lit captain's quarters he was looking down at the very top of a big pile of parchments. And really, who would have thought living in a ship surrounded by pirates would include so much mathematics? Be it numbers or blowing the captain it was fair to say Kaida had a good head on his shoulders.

And were they even pirates? All the time he would hear Hauvin and Arguln talking about 'the good old days' back when they'd raid merchant ships, pillage small towns, and fight off the navy. These days they never did any of those things. Whatever fantastic things the crew of the Cerulean had once done were now forgotten and no longer were they this fearsome scourge of the seas, now they were pretty much just smugglers buying muskets from nations that legalized them and selling the weapons to places where they were banned for three times the original price.

And of course Kaida was the one in charge of ensuring they'd make a great enough profit to buy even more muskets to sell, to get enough liquor to last entire trips, and enough to upgrade the weapons of the crew members. And if he made any mistakes he knew he wasn't going to hear the end of it. If they didn't make a good profit off the weapons Hauvin would be mad and if they randomly ran out of liquor half way through the trip the entire crew would be mad.

So yes, Kaida did a lot more then he was ever credited for. And whether he knew it or not very slowly he was probably dying from all the stress. Even if he basically was a fuck toy with a good head on his shoulders he enjoyed his position in power. Besides, compared to everyone else he was spoiled quite a bit.

Recently though he's had far more troubling things enter his mind then just numbers. It had been four days since the captain had mounted him. It wasn't how he hadn't had sex in four days that bothered Kaida. It was the ever growing fact that Hauvin was losing interest in him and it was all because of that vixen.

And tonight was the night it was going to happen. Just a few minutes ago Hauvin had ordered Arguln to bring him the vixen. There were two main possibilities on how it this situation was going to end up. Either Hauvin was going to stick it in Alex and they were all going to carry on with their lives or he was going to stick it in Alex and like her more then Kaida.

And from there on he probably wasn't going to be the first mate anymore, he was just going to be an accountant. Dear god, hopefully she was going to fight back and get her self killed or maybe fail at pleasing the captain. Who knows, maybe with a little luck she'd end up actually being a man.

Kaida glanced up from the pile of parchments when he heard a knock on the door.

'Come in.' Hauvin greeted and the moments following Arguln entered the room with a Fox to his right.

'Remember Foxie not to speak until you're spoken to.' Arguln snarled as Hauvin stood up and approached the two of them.

'I was beginning to worry that you weren't into women anymore, Captain.' Arguln joked.

'Funny you're one to think that. Mind telling me how your night was with that Fox Reliath?' Hauvin replied. And after such a response even Arguln had his trap shut.

Hauvin who stood looked down at the Fox who was around 5'7'' tall.

'You brought me the wrong Fox.' Hauvin stated.

'What do you mean?' Arguln didn't speak in the usual intimidating tone of voice he was known for. Instead he sounded like a rookie making a mistake at work.

'I mean this Fox doesn't have a cunt.' Hauvin placed his paw against Toby's nipple as he spoke. Toby shot him a confused look as Hauvin spoke. 'Do you see that Arguln? No breasts either, you're losing your bloody sense of smell! This is clearly not a Vixen. Leave and bring me the right Fox. Do whatever you want with this one though, I don't care.'

Arguln smiled darkly as he grabbed Toby's paw forcefully and just before they left the room Hauvin spoke once more.

'Wait! Forget it Arguln, Don't you fucking kill him! Just lead him out of the room, get me the Vixen and pay Farun a visit. Understood?'

'Yes Captain.' Arguln replied and the slamming of the door was heard. Once more Hauvin and his first mate were alone. Hauvin sighed as he sat down on the bed and Kaida joined him. Kaida sat down on his knees and he massaged the Ocelots shoulders.

'He can't even tell the difference between men and women anymore. Can you believe this?'

'Oh I'm sure Farun will fix the problem, whatever it is. If Arguln listened to your advice sooner he'd probably be better by now.' Kaida said as he continued rubbing Hauvin.

'I also think we should have kept that other Fox here.' Hauvin muttered

'How come captain?' Kaida asked clearly annoyed.

'We could have had our selves a show or maybe a foursome. Now wouldn't that have been interesting? Having two Fox sluts doing whatever we wanted?'

'Maybe.' Kaida replied, somewhat interested and incredibly angered at the thought of Hauvin mounting even another Fox. Once again Arguln entered the room and just like the last time there was a Fox beside him standing at around 5'7'' tall.

'I made sure it was the girl this time captain.'

'That's nice to hear, leave.'

Arguln left without saying good bye and it would seem both Kaida and Hauvin had their attention completely set on Alex.

'Um . . . hi.' Alex greeted and Hauvin bowed his head slightly in response.

'So why did you want me here if you already have your own little pet tiger?'

'I'm a Margay!' Kaida replied and Alex chuckled.

'Just get on the damn bed already, Fox!' Hauvin shouted and without hesitation Alex did as she was told. Good, at least she wasn't stupid. Hauvin licked Alex and she felt a weird sensation on her neck, one sort of like sand paper.

'So you're not going to fight back?' Hauvin asked as he looked at the vixen. Alex was scanning the room for liquor. The last time she tried to steal them they were moved elsewhere's.

'Why would I fight back? You have yourself a nice little pet tiger so I'm sure you don't need another boy for anything uh . . . vulgar.' Alex wasn't really paying attention, the search for booze had not yet ended.

'Hah! Nice try, Arguln made sure you've got what I want.'

'You sure he wasn't lying?'

Hauvin extended his paw and squeezed her right breast. Alex was a bit alarmed with just how direct he was. Then again, he was a pirate so he probably never worried about how he got what he wanted.

'One hundred percent sure, actually.' Hauvin replied with a smile that showed his fangs.

'And what do you plan on doing with your little pet tiger around?'

Even with her current circumstances Alex was a bit pleased in seeing that she angered Kaida.

'Everything that needs to be done to teach a thief like you that stealing is wrong. Isn't that right Kaida?'

'It sure is captain!'

Alex was about to speak but very quickly Hauvin interrupted. 'And don't you dare deny that you've stolen from me. But enough of that, I'm sure you have a beautiful body so for a start why don't you take those rags off and do your body some justice by showing it off?'

Alex started to take her top off but Hauvin shook his head.

'Save the best for last. And Kaida, did I tell you to stop massaging me? You're acting like you've never seen a girl before!'

'Sorry captain.'

Alex kicked off her shoes and took off her socks as Hauvin and Kaida watched. Hauvin didn't seem all too intrigued meanwhile Kaida kept looking up every ten or twenty seconds. After Alex took off her shirt Kaida had his attention set on her. From what the two of them could tell her breasts weren't large nor were they small, they were around average sized and held by a brown bra.

'You're a fine looking young lady, so why is it you go about dressing up like a boy?'

'Do you want me to strip or answer questions?'

'Why not a bit of both for a jolly ol' pirate?' Hauvin asked with a very fake smile.

'Being a girl is boring. Sometimes it's just fun to be the opposite sex.'

'Ah yes, sometimes I feel quite the same about my first mate.'

Kaida's ears dropped down. 'You're not being the least bit funny, captain.'

'You think I'm trying to be funny? You're girlier then she is!'

'I am not!'

Hauvin patted Kaida's head. 'You're being silly, you've got more curves then she does! Can't you see I'm only trying to compliment you?' Kaida purred as Hauvin continued to pet him and Alex gave the two felines a very awkward look.

'So if he's got what you want why am I here?' Alex commented.

'He's a good looking boy but still, he's a boy. Now why don't you show us your legs?'

Alex unbuckled her pants and just like her bra her underwear was a beige ish brown.

Alex had more muscle then a lot of girls Hauvin had seen but he found she was attractive none the less. It must have been her body. Most girls starved them selves and tied corsets around their waists to make them seem skinnier meanwhile Alex actually did seem to take care of what she had.

'Are you ever complimented on your looks?'

'Only by women.'

'Never by men?'

'Well, I was once or twice.' Alex replied. The one guy that came to her mind was Reliath. And even then the only reason he ever complimented her was because she looked like a boy.

'Can you continue already?' Kaida asked clearly impatient, both Hauvin and Alex looked at him.

'He's right. The bed's more comfortable anyway so why don't you come on up?'

Alex sat down on the bed beside Hauvin and she looked down at the floor while Hauvin looked at Kaida.

'Kaida, can you disappear for just five minutes?'

Kaida climbed off the bed and walked to the door, turning his head to Hauvin as he opened it.

'You sure five minutes will be enough cap'n?'

'Are you implying I might be wrong, marqueer?'

'No, not at all Captain!'

'Good, now get out.'

The slam of the door was heard and the two of them didn't move nor did they speak. In the room there was only the sound of Alex scratching her head fur.

'No, I'm not going to fuck you, not yet anyway.' Hauvin said as he inspected his claws.

'Then why did you want him to leave?'

'Stand up and you'll find out. The two of them stood up. To Alex's surprise Hauvin handed her a knife.

'With that knife you can do whatever you'd like to me. Just keep this in mind; anything you do to me I'll do back to you.'

'What if I kill you?'

'You'll wish you hadn't when Arguln gets a hold of you.' Hauvin replied smirking. Alex unbuttoned the top of his naval jacket and right away she saw a scar across his chest.

'There's going to be more of these aren't there?'

'Why don't you go ahead and find out?'

Alex unbuttoned another part of the naval jacket. This time she saw a scar on the right side of his body that kept going down to the next button. Needless to say, she unbuttoned the final button and the scar continued even down his pants.

Alex couldn't help but wonder how big the damn thing was. No, not how big his cock was, the scar!

'Well, I'm afraid you're not going any lower then that, Fox, so how 'bout we see how brave you are with that little knife.'

Alex placed the knives blade against his left nipple, if only to see his reaction. Hauvin didn't seem to mind; instead he kept that stupid smirk on his face that Alex hated. And hell, he probably knew she hated that smirk of his.

'If you really want to use it there just imagine where I'm going to cut you.'

'Would you cut my nipple?'

'Actually, I'd go for your entire breast, you said you wanted to be a boy, didn't you?'

'Oh so that's what this is about, huh? Because you've got your boyfriend Arguln you really think I won't do it, do you?'

Almost in response to his stupid ass smirk and his constant taunting Alex had cut him, almost. Instead she brought the knife down to his balls. She was hoping that he'd break apart like most men would and probably panic, but he didn't.

'Scared the big bad Doberman might hurt you?'

'What makes you think I won't snip them off as a reflex or by accident?'

'Go ahead, jeer.'

And just as he smirked a final time she had done it. Hauvin was lucky enough not to lose his jewels but he was however surprised when he felt a sudden jolt of pain and a fist against his nose.

He wasn't a masochist and he certainly didn't enjoy being punched in the face . . . but he always got quite a thrill when he was in a dangerous situation. It wasn't being hurt that excited him; it was the peculiar thrill of possibly being hurt.

'You gonna try and punch me back, kitty?' Alex replied as Hauvin wiped his muzzle with his paw. To his own surprise he was bleeding and instead of doing anything he just looked back at Alex.

'Hah, I don't hit girls.'

'Really? Well, shit. I wouldn't have punched you if knew that!

'That's the thing. I don't hit girls, I cut them.' Hauvin revealed his claws as he spoke. He was definitely pleased when Alex looked at his claws in amazement.

'You never knew felines have claws that retract?' Hauvin asked.

'I never met a feline before . . .'

'Well, look at this then.' Hauvin's claws disappeared in to his paws. Alex continued to look at his paws as if some sort of miracle had happened.

'Go ahead, you can feel my paws.'

And so Alex did. She squeezed his right paw and once more the claws came out. While she was distracted with his right paw Hauvin snuck his left paw behind her back and cut her bra off. It fell to the floor and before Alex could voice her discontent with him destroying her only bra he wrapped his left arm around her back, forced her body against his and he clenched Alex's paw in his right paw.

'You could have just ask-' Hauvin forcefully pressed his muzzle against hers before she could finish and as they kissed she could feel his rough tongue against hers. It didn't seem to be as wet as Toby's or Arthur. When he broke the kiss Alex did nothing more then look at him until Kaida entered the room.

'You're right on time Kaida.'

'I always am Captai- Did the bitch hurt you!?'

'Settle down, Kaida. I've been thinking about what I should do to this Foxy, got any ideas?'

'You can always give her a bottle of wine and a pat on the back for the kiss.' Alex suggested. When his grip on her lessened she sat down on the bed and watched the two of them. Kaida ignored her and continued regardless.

'I don't know Captain. I think she should be punished for thinking she could steal from a pirate as great as your self and punished again for your injury!'

'Sadism is Argulns thing, not mine. I'm thinking she'd make a good trophy, wouldn't you?'

'You want to hang her on the wall? I thought you jus-'

'You misunderstood; I mean a trophy for you.'

'Really Captain?' Kaida asked as if he had just received a Christmas gift and very appropriately his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.

Hauvin chuckled. 'Would I lie? Now go get her. Oh, and Foxy, if you hurt my first mate we're going to have a problem, understood?'

Alex barely nodded and the moments following Kaida practically jumped on her. He had a great number of things he was planning on doing to her . . . but well, when Kaida reached out to grab her she grabbed his arm and forced him down on the bed twisting his arm behind his back.

'Ow! Stop, stop! Captain, please tell her to stop!' Kaida cried out and Hauvin just stood still as he watched the situation unfold. Seriously, he had to have a few moments to take this all in. This had to be the most pathetic thing he had ever seen. And even though he was thirty four he was quite unsure if he was ever going to see anything top this, even if he lived to be a hundred.

'All right, get off him!' Hauvin shouted and Alex did as she was told. She let go of Kaida and sat down on the bed.

'Hand me my sword, one finger less should put her in place!'

'She twisted your arm, Kaida. Big deal, try one more time and if you fail it'll be you pleasing her instead.'

'What?!'

'What?' Did I just hear what I think I did? What are you afraid of, Kaida? Are you telling me you can't take a single girl down?'

'No sir, you didn't hear a thing. You're just imagining things. I was merely caught off guard, that's all!' Once again Kaida tried and . . . Dejavu occurred. Alex threw him down on the bed, he cursed and Hauvin laughed. Kaida usually liked Hauvin's laugh because It had a friendly carefree quality to it. But he couldn't say he enjoyed that same laugh when it was directed towards him.

'So, what's Alex short for, Alexis?' Hauvin asked paying absolutely no attention to Kaida's current predicament.

'Yes, actually it is.' Alex lied. Her real name was Alexandra and she hated it, so to hell if she was going to tell him her real name.

'Captain!' Kaida once more cried.

Hauvin sighed. 'All right, leave the lad alone, Lexis.' Alex let go of Kaida and sat up yet again.

'He's kind of cute but I don't think he's fit for this pirate thing.'

'He's got a good head.' Hauvin replied, of course referencing to all of Kaida's talents.

Hauvin gazed at Kaida and considered the many different ways this could turn up. Kaida had a really great tongue too so for starter's maybe he could show the vixen what felines were capable of. That would be a good start, Hauvin him self had no plans in joining in until later anyway. He wanted to watch them, if only to see if he was better at it then they were. Yeah, there was no need to rush things.

If there was one thing Hauvin found odd though it was just how willing Alex was. She just accepted the position she was in and she never fought back, even though she threw a pretty good right hook. It made him feel just a bit guilty but none the less it made him all the more excited.

12:00 AM

If any of the three Foxes that traveled on the cerulean was a drama queen it was probably Toby. Even though as of lately he was far more playful and kind he still panicked the way he always did. Reliath knew this from first paw experience. Very randomly Toby ran up to him while he was inspecting the condition of his weapons and

it would turn out Toby asked - practically begged - for Reliath to do whatever he could to make sure Alex was okay.

When Reliath asked why Toby thought Alex was in danger he shared on how Arguln brought him to the Captains quarters. And so right now Reliath was sitting down on the ships deck right next to the Captains quarters with his legs crossed. Toby him self wanted to be the one to ask Alex what was wrong but he knew she wouldn't give him a direct answer, not right away anyway. And by the time she'd be willing to share it with him he wouldn't be able to find her unless she was sleeping.

If anything happened to her it was more likely she was going to share it with the person who had more in common with her. Toby wasn't stupid so he knew Reliath was living the life Alex wanted.

When the Captain's quarters doors had opened Reliath's ears perked up and he turned his head to see Alex leaving the room. Thanks to the moon light Reliath had seen her perfectly. Her fur was messed up and Reliath could tell she had breasts a lot easier. And there was another thing; the smell of seawater was a lot less noticeable then the smell of sex from two felines. And given that Reliath had never spent a night with one the scent was very apparent.

'Do you think you could come here, Alex?' Reliath asked and Alex turned her head in surprise, she never even noticed he was there. Alex approached Reliath and there eyes met.

'What are you doing here?' Alex asked as she rubbed her right arm.

'Quick version, before you were sent to the quarters Toby was mistaken for you. Toby knows something has happened to you. Toby wants' to know if you're all right. And right now you can't lie to I.'

'I'm all right.' Alex replied. Reliath had very much so expected her to say this but he was surprised at just how convincing she sounded. And in return she noticed his reaction.

'Kaida is weird and Hauvin is even weirder. Besides that we had sex, that's all.'

'Was it rape?' Sure, being straight forward over such a grim event was fairly insensitive, but Reliath needed a straight answer, an honest straight answer.

'I never really fought back; I just gave him what he wanted. But to answer your question, no, I don't think it was. And if it was I'd rather not think of it that way.' Alex's reply left Reliath just a bit confused and so the topic was dropped, if only for awhile.

'So, how about we get you cleaned up?'

Alex only nodded her head and the two of them walked beside the ships railing and continued down to the ships middle. Hanging on the other side of the railing and over the water was a bucket which Reliath lowered into the water and raised out of the water. The moments following with a bit of trouble he unhooked the bucket and grasped it with both paws.

'Want to take your clothes off?' It took Reliath an entire five seconds to realize just how unintentionally perverted the request sounded.

'No thanks. They could use a wash too.'

'I wouldn't mind lending some of mine.'

Alex stripped her self of her clothes for a second time that night. She was however pleasantly surprised to find that Reliath wasn't staring at her private parts.

'Should I just splash you or is it best I lift it above your head and pour it on top of you?'

'Whatever you feel is best.'

And so Reliath splashed Alex with the water barrel. This way was quicker and besides getting her clean as much as they possibly could getting her dressed as quickly as possible was the most important thing.

Alex shook a bit of water off her and while Reliath hanged the barrel back where it was she stood closely behind him.

'I just realized, isn't all your spare clothes downstairs, where everyone sleeps?'

And the moments following her revelation quite a few interesting things had happened. First of all, Reliath cussed. Up until that particular moment Alex never really thought that Reliath knew the F word. Second of all, Reliath stripped (Which Alex found just a bit amusing because basically everyone seemed to end up naked that night) and lent Alex his clothes with the exception of his loincloth. And third of all Alex accidently looked down at Reliath's package. Honestly, it was an accident.

While Reliath was taking his clothes off Alex was leaning on the railing and thanking him for lending his clothes. No perverted thoughts what so ever. It was when he had taken his pants off that her eyes travelled beneath his chest. The corner of her eye had caught sight of this peculiar type of clothing that she had never seen before and without thinking she looked down to see what it was. And boy was it awkward for the two of them when Reliath noticed where she was looking.

'I um . . .' Alex paused as she rehearsed her explanation in her head. Being wrapped up in her mind she barely noticed that Reliath's ears were slightly perked down and that he was blushing.

'I'n - I'se . . .' Reliath randomly shook his head and Alex shot him a confused look.

'Getting clothes!' Reliath blurted out before he ran off into the ships hull. Alex picked the clothes up off the ground and changed into them. To help hide her breasts Alex always wore loose clothing. And while there was no doubting that what Reliath wore was very comfortable, it wasn't nearly as loose as what Alex usually wore.

Reliath returned wearing his usual probably extravagantly priced attire.

'About what happened five seconds ago . . . ' Alex began.

'Yes . . . ?'

'You were wearing it really tight so I saw everything perfectly. Nah, I'm just kidding. I never saw clothing like that before, so I was just looking down to figure out what it was you were wearing.' Alex didn't really think Reliath was going to believe her but oh well, it was worth a shot.

'How much did you see?'

'Just a slight bulge. Whatever that thing was you wore it was black so I couldn't see through it even if I wanted to.'

'Good. And just so you know it's a loin cloth, probably the most used undergarment in the world. But never mind that, what are we going to do with those?' Reliath pointed a finger at both of Alex's boobs. If anything those two troublesome jugs were only going to invite danger.

'Until we reach the next port probably nothing . . . well, maybe not.'

'You have a plan?'

Alex nodded in response. 'Haida wears pretty loosely fitting clothes. You think he'd lend me them?'

'I think Haida would ask you for a favor in return. Besides, there's no guarantee the clothes will hide your . . . '

'Fox tits?'

'Yeah, why not Fox tits.'

Randomly Alex walked down the staircase to the ships hull.

'Where are you going?' Reliath asked as he followed Alex, unfortunately waking up some of the sleeping crew members.

'To find Haida.' Alex whispered back. When they found Haida it wasn't the loveliest of sights. The poor Margay was lying down against a wall with his head drooped down and a bottle of rum in his right paw. Reliath felt pity for him if only because no one else seemed to drink as much as he had and no one else seemed to pass out as often as he did.

Alex turned around and sighed while Reliath crouched down and approached the Margay.

'Never mind, I'll just ask him tomorrow after the hangover.'

Regardless of what Alex said Reliath gave the Margay a soft tap across the face with his paw.

'Huh?' Haida opened his eyes groggily and looked at Reliath slightly confused.

'Hi.' Reliath greeted and Haida blinked once or twice before closing his eyes not to far from dozing off into sleep once more. Poor guy, it seemed all he ever did was black out. That aside though Reliath was kind of hoping Haida would be so tired that he'd say yes just so he could delve off into sleep once more. Alex finally turned her head and watched the two of them.

'Felines look really adorable when their asleep. Can I borrow your clothes?'

'What?'

'Nothing. Can you just say yes? I'll leave you alone if you do.'

'Yes?'

'Thanks and good night Kai- I mean, Haida.' Reliath petted the drunken Margays cheek and he smiled back.

'Are you sure he won't mind? I wouldn't really consider that asking him.' Alex asked as Reliath got back up on his feet.

'Well, I did ask him if I could borrow his clothes, didn't I?'

'Yes, you did.'

'And he did say yes, didn't he?'

'Well . . . yeah.'

'Besides, he's drunk. Even if we asked him properly and even if he said yes he still wouldn't remember what happened, I just did what was most efficient.'

'Makes sense to me!'

A slight thud was heard and both Reliath and Alex turned around to find Haida was now lying on his side down on the floor. Alex walked up to Haida and wrapped her arms around his body to pick him up.

'What are you doing?' Reliath asked.

'I figure the least we can do is help him rest a little easier. I'm going to carry him to his bed.'

And just like that the gears in Reliath's head had begun to turn and a plot was at work.

'So you know where his bed is?'

'Yes. I know where everyone sleeps.' Alex boasted.

'Then you have a good idea where he keeps his clothes. It's best to hand him over to I. I'll find him a place to sleep meanwhile you can change into his clothes without having to worry about waking him up.'

'I guess that works, but why do you want to carry him?'

'I'm Just in a good mood. Really, it's not for my own benefit. After all, I'll have to worry about him throwing up.'

Alex handed the sleeping Margay to Reliath, Reliath nearly dropped Haida on his head and the two of them walked talked to each other quietly as they made their ways past the numerous beds.

'Oh, and I found out something pretty neat today.'

'What would that be?'

'Did you know felines have claws that retract?'

'Actually, I didn't. I never really worked with one before. Anything else?'

'Their tongues are really rough. And . . .' Alex remembered just how odd the two felines cocks were, they were very different from what Toby had. If any good came out of what the two felines had done to her at least it was educational. Reliath seemed to take an interest in science and he seemed to enjoy learning things. But, Alex didn't want to share what she had seen below the belt. 'Actually, we're right at your bed so never mind. Good night Reliath.'

'Good night.' Reliath replied back as Alex walked away. You'd probably be surprised to hear Reliath wasn't planning anything sexual with the Margay and he wasn't actually feeling too perverted at the moment. (Emphasis on too perverted because Reliath was touching Haida's ass while he held him and this was completely intentional.)

Very carefully Reliath sat the Margay down on his bed atop of the pelt which once belonged to Aiser and soon enough he joined Haida and upon lying on his bed he closed his eyes nearly instantly doing a surprisingly good job in warding off the sexual thoughts which came to his mind.

The only problem was Reliath had one thought which kept disturbing him. After an entire thirty minutes he opened his eyes and he examined the sleeping Margay. It was true though, a drunken feline was a pretty cute and after giving the Margay appreciation for his finer features (Which no, wasn't his cock. Really, Reliath had his attention on the felines face.) Reliath had his attention turned on the one thing keeping him up tonight.

He was looking at Haida's paws and ever since Alex had told him on how felines have claws retract that little fact was bothering him greatly. Finally after growing far too impatient to care Reliath extended his arm and played with Haida's left paw, soon to discover amazing results.

And of course Reliath was greedy, so he went far overboard with this discovery. Feeling one paw just wasn't good enough, he played around with all of them including the Margay's feet. Reliath did however stop completely though when he heard Haida moan; Reliath was worried he might have woken the Margay up. And just as Reliath was about to sleep his eyes travelled down to the bulge in Kaida's pants.

Really, Reliath must have been cursed or something.

Hurrah, a chapter that's mainly centered on Alex! Um . . . I really don't have much to add.
