Furry search engine

formerly SoFurry search engine

At a class in Montrose Colorado, Mesa college, an engineering class that consisted mostly of anthros indigenous to the country, one figure stood out among the rest.

A small, fluffy racoon dog was studying a manual before working on an engine he had been given for an assignment when something smacked him on the head.

Rubbing the side, he picked up a large lugnut. "Hey sorry, guess that slipped my hand, could you pass it back Kou?" A coyote said amidst some snickering friends, a less than genuine smile on his face.

The racoon dog, Kou, glared before tossing whilst muttering, "jerk, before getting back to his studying until a minute later, a book smacked him in the head, nearly dazing the poor little dog.

"Hey sorry, guess that slipped my grip too. Could you pass my book back as well, Kou?" The same coyote grinned with his hand out.

"You want it back, here," Kou growled, sliding the book across the floor and underneath a tool chest.

Getting up from his desk, the coyote closed the distance between them in one swift motion, "You had better be willing to get that back for me," he said, his chest level with Kou's face, "or else."

"Kou, Dale, is there an issue here?" the tutor said as he came through the classroom door with some spare equipment, seeing the coyote squaring off.

"No sir," Kou muttered with the coyote quickly backing off to his own desk. Though once the tutor's back was turned, he threw a crumpled ball of paper at Kou to get his attention before running his thumb under his neck, causing the raccoon dog to swallow hard.

*

After class, Kou decided it would be best if he walked it home. The relative he lived with was only an hour's walk from the college, and since the bullies took the same bus he assumed it would be the safer bet.

Turning up the collar of his light jacket, having no need for a large one owing to his thick winter coat, Kou set off out of the college gates as fast as his short legs could walk. It would take a little longer than someone of normal stature but that didn't bother him. Despite his roly poly look he was actually in decent shape.

As snowflakes began to fall down from the sky, Kou looked skywards and closed his eyes, feeling the frozen flakes gently melt on his face-fluff, a small smile creeping across his little muzzle. When it snowed, that was when he felt like he was back home. Oh how he wanted to move back home but no, he would need to find money as well as pay back his uncle for the upkeep once he got a job. He would be far from home for some years to come, he reflected grimly.

20 minutes into his journey, his little nose twitched and rounded ears swivelled. He kept telling himself those thugs would be on their way home to get warm in this weather.

But no sooner had he reassured himself when a large arm clotheslined him from the shadow of an alleyway.

Groaning and dazed, a large black bear hefted him up by his collar and shook him out of his stupor.

"You should know better than to mess with us you fuzzball," the coyote snarled in his face. "We can do what we like since our families in part own the college," a familiar, nasty voice sounded from off to Kou's side.

"You must be quite a coward if you need your thugs to help you with one little raccoon dog," Kou gasped, his little feet kicking at the air as, helpless in the bear's giant hand.

Nodding with his head at his friend, the bear dropped Kou onto the ground, letting the little canine gain what he could of his breath.

"Okay, so you think you can take me on huh? Going to show me some kung fu? Some karate?" The coyote laughed nastily.

"T-that's China you dumbass," Kou gasped, looking up at the coyote with a defiant look.

Instead of being outraged by this remark, he just laughed at him.

"Then come at me if you think you're all that," he grinned, standing with arms wide open in invitation.

With a high pitched howl, Kou picked himself up off the ground and flew at him, only for the bully to thrust his hand out, stopping Kou short where his small arms couldn't reach him.

Only his laughter turned into pain as Kou bit down into his hand, until he was kneed in the stomach, dropping him to the snow covered floor.

"Why you, *thump,* little, *thump,* shit!" He howled, pounding Kou's head through the snow until he was unconscious.

"Take his stuff," the coyote barked at the bear.

"But, won't he freeze to death?" he said, scratching his head before he was yanked down by his school tie.

"Listen pea brain, he is from a frozen land, most that will probably happen is his penis freezes off, not that there is much in the first place," he growled, "or do you want ME to castrate you?" he said, placing his claws around the bear's groin.

Swallowing and shaking his head, he quickly stripped Kou of clothing and rucksack before they made their way off into the night.

*

Kou woke up shivering, the snow having covered most of his form in the alleyway. Even with his thick furred coat he was close to hypothermia. "Those...bastards I'll...I'll call the police on them," he trembled through chattering teeth, groggily picking himself up.

By now it was well dark, and few people were around. After all everyone drove everywhere here, why would they so much as notice a pedestrian in need?

He stumbled on for a few more streets before his steps faltered and fell down, the snow falling faster and quickly covering his form back up.

*

"Bye Sonia, see you tomorrow," a kindly looking fox said, his fur starting to grey around the muzzle.

A large, muscular lioness just grunted and waved over her shoulder before pulling her hood up over her head and tying the faux fur lined hood as tight as possible.

She was aware that she intimidated people, which is why she worked in the back of a coffee shop called Starbrew as often as possible as opposed to the front. Towering over most people at 6'5 foot tall and a lithe, muscled physique that would put most guys to shame, would be enough to intimidate most but what really made people weary of her was that she was missing an eye and ear both on the right side.

She gazed up at the night sky, her one good amber eye taking in the stars and that twinkled in the frigid night sky and sighed. "Should have died on the battlefield," she muttered under her breath in a voice that ached with loneliness and pain.

Pulling her coat tight around her body, she started her solemn trudge through the snow back to the little cabin she had been given. Her steps were unhurried and laboured, not really relishing the thought of going back there to be alone, tail low with the tip dragging a line through the snow.

People she came across tended to give her a wide berth, she didn't care though. There wasn't much she did care for any more these days.

That lost and that laboured were her steps that she failed to notice the unusual mound of snow before tripping over something and only just put her hands out to brace her from face planting through the snow.

Snarling, she pushed herself back up before whirling on whatever she had tripped over..."Oh no," she mumbled under her breath, seeing part of a fluffy body uncovered. "Hey, you alive?" she said, gently shaking the frozen form. It was breathing, whatever it was, but laboured. She brushed more snow back to see a sheath lower on the body, marking it as a he. "Well, I can't leave you here fella, you'll die otherwise," Sonia sighed before bending over and scooping him up as easily as if he weighed nothing. "Lets get you inside, luckily I still know my training and have something in to warm you and help ward off pneumonia."

*

Kou dreamed, he was back home in Osaka. He was the youngest of six, and was getting pelted by snowballs from his older brothers and sister before their parents told them to come inside before they catch a cold.

They all raced in with his sister stopping back to help brush the snow off of his fur before they too raced inside, all cuddled up in a furry pile before a roaring fire as their parents told them stories of the old days and old ways.

Wait...the crackling wasn't in his dream...

"Oooohhh," Kou groaned as he woke up from his sleep, groggily opening his eyes to a dimly lit interior before wincing when he felt something sharp pierce his arm.

"Glad you are alive, I thought maybe I found you too late little furball," a deep, husky voice came from his side, the tone of it both thrilling him and frightening him at the same time.

"Wh-where...what?" he groaned before he felt something warm on his aching head.

"I have given you a steroid injection to help fight off your pneumonia, any later and I don't think you would pull through. As for where you are, well, you are in my cabin. For now rest, we'll sort out where you live once you are strong enough to stand," she said, a strong hand rubbing a foul smelling solution through his fur and into his chest before another hand came to stroke his brow, soothing him off back into a recuperative slumber.

Once he had fallen back asleep, Sonia sighed and stood up washing her hands at a simple basin. She debated on turning the generator on for some power but knew it would wake her guest up. Out here there were no modern conveniences, and she preferred it that way.

So, she decided to strip down and do her evening work out. She may have given up on life but she was not about to let a decade of building her body up go to waste.

Stripping down to just her bra and panties, she began to do some warm up exercises as quietly as possible, doing squats and push ups until she felt loose and limber enough. Grabbing a pair of 15kg weights, she placed them on either end of the barbell before doing her reps, curls and pull ups.

Unknown to her, she had a secret admirer. Kou had woken once she had taken her hand away from his head and was looking at her strong, muscled back, her shapely buttocks and toned thighs. 'Wow...I have been rescued by an amazonian,' he thought to himself as he drifted back off to sleep, his dreams taking on a slightly more perverted tone of a faceless lioness on top of him with a body to die for.

*

Kou slept the sleep of the dead, his temperature remained high, though with gentle coaxing Sonia managed to rouse him like a zombie for medicine before he'd pass out again.

He slept through the next day, and was starting to darken by the time he properly woke up.

Sitting up in the cot, the blankets fell off of his nude, furred form whilst he looked around in confusion. The only light that came from inside the cabin was a log fire, the embers giving off poor illumination as the last of the logs started to char and blacken.

The door suddenly swung open. Kou whipped his head to the door to see a towering and imposing figure standing there with a large sack and an axe lofted

Screaming, Kou tumbled out of bed and hid underneath, hoping the murderer hadn't seen him.

"You know, if I wanted to kill you kid I would have left you to freeze in the snow."

Wait, he recognised the voice from before he passed out again.

"S-sorry, you just looked

"Intimidating?" She said with a cold undertone to her voice.

No more words were said, so Kou dragged himself out from under the bed, just seeing her back once again as she busied herself with something in her sack.

"Wh-why did you have an axe in the first place?" He said timidly, trying not to stare at her toned, shapely rear.

"Because, I either cut down old or dead trees for firewood or die from the chill out here," she said, tossing a few logs onto the fire before the flames roared back into life.

She finally turned around to look at Kou, the poor little thing gasping when he saw her with an eye patch and missing an ear.

"Yeah, I'm used to that reaction," she said with a sigh as Kou felt guilty right away.

"I-I'm sorry, just it took me by surprise. I know you are not a bad person, you wouldn't have saved me otherwise," he said, looking down before only now realising he had no clothes on.

Quickly wrapping his bushy tail around his groin, he felt his skin heat up from embarrassment before a smaller bag was thrown at his feet.

"Here kid, I took the liberty of getting some clothes for you," seeming totally unfazed by his nudity. "They're nothing fancy and might be either too large or too small, you're hard to judge size wise with your small stature and fluff."

Turning around to take her own thick winter gear off, she kept her back to him as he hurriedly dressed.

"I-I'm done," Kou stammered out.

When Sonia turned around, she secretly admired how she had chosen the right size for him. It was nothing special, just a basic olive green T-shirt and black pants but it gave him modesty. "Well, looks like they fit you fine. Where do you live kid, I'll take you home," she said, jumping straight to the matter.

"Well, there is a matter of those bullies having stolen all my stuff, including my phone. Could you maybe help me...take..." Kou trailed off as her look turned from passive to stone cold.

"Listen kid, I'm helping you this once. But I make it a point never to get involved with someone's business. Got that?" She said, narrowing her eyes at him.

"C-crystal clear," he mumbled, looking anywhere but at her, his tail in his paws.

"Good. Now, where do you live, kid?"

"I have a name you know," he said, bristling at her tone as if he was nothing but a burden. "My name is Kou."

"So the kid has some spine then," Sonia said with a slight smirk. "At least you are not completely spineless."

Clenching his little hands, Kou fumed before crossing his arms and looked off to the side, "23rd street, house 1086," he muttered before he felt her strong hand push him out of her cabin. "H-hey!"

"Sorry kid but I don't care for people, so I'll be dropping you off straight home," she said before noticing he had no footwear and she had neglected that.

Picking him up with a cry of protest, she trudged through the shallow snow and placed him on the passenger side of her jeep.

Starting the engine up with a smokey cough, she pulled out and off down a snow covered trail before hitting tarmac.

"Why did you even bother saving me? It's clear you don't care for people," he muttered off to the side.

"You wouldn't understand kid," she said softly, the pain in her voice was unmistakable but he chose to keep quiet. Chances were he wouldn't see her again after they parted ways.

They sat in silence for the rest of the journey, Kou looking pointedly out of the window and Sonia glancing his way, opening her muzzle and then shutting it and trying to focus on the road.

Pulling up at the driveway to a pretty run down place with a faded looking door and parts that they could benefit from a builder to touch up, Kou opened the door, muttering a quiet thanks. Glancing back, he saw Sonia looking pointedly at the windscreen before he slammed the door and trudged towards the door.

As he vanished inside the doorway, smelling of booze and stale air, before she rested her arms and head on her steering wheel and sighed with a heavy heart.

*

Three days later, the incident came to light and the head of the college launched an investigation into the two that had assaulted Kou. The police were contacted and found his missing satchel but the bullies had already sold his phone and his clothes were nowhere to be found.

The coyote, Dale, was banned for life. When the bear was quizzed on his role he pleaded that the coyote had threatened him and was let off with a ban for the rest of the semester but could re-enroll following a clean police report.

Kou thought that would be that and managed to pick back up where he had left off with his studying to open his own garage in the states.

His uncle had been less than sympathetic with his ordeal.

"If you had died how would you be able to get a job and pay me back for keeping your butt off the streets? Be more careful with that mouth of yours at least until I get my investment back from you," he said. The greedy money grubbing git.

It was only after Kou came to America that he found out why his family never talked about his uncle. But nothing he could do about it but try and make the best of a bad situation. At the very least he could try and start his own business to make enough money to go back home.

Kou had gained a few admirers at college when word got around that he stood up to one of the colleges biggest bullies and lived to tell the tale after being essentially mugged.

Some even wanted to sit next to him on the bus so he could tell them of his tale and mentioned the mysterious lioness who had rescued him. He didn't care much for reliving it but it was nice that others now took interest in him instead of being the quiet foreign student in the corner.

However, that took a turn one day when Kou was trailed home on the bus. No one would have paid much attention to the motorbike tailing a bus after all. Or the hateful stare burning through the visor at the figure sitting at the back of the bus, now with a cute fennec fox at one side and a pretty squirrel.

Hopping off the bus and waving bye, Kou walked to the door to his flat with a happy whistle.

"Oh hello Kou, you seem in a happy mood," his uncle said as he walked into the small living room.

"Yeah, I might have a chance at a good life here after all," he said happily, throwing his jacket onto the back of a chair. "Two cute girls seem to like me and I am acing my tests and practicals. This fennec called Lucy even admits she loves bikes so might be able to open up a joint business if I play my cards right."

"Hah you, with a pretty girl? She'd better be someone rich worth marrying," his uncle said in mirth.

"Is that all you think about? You money grubbing-"

Kou was cut off as the door burst open suddenly behind them and a menacing voice followed the break in. "Hello Kou..." the voice said, the sound of a gun cocking following the familiar tone, "payback time."

*

Sonia was working her usual shift at Starbrew, mostly working as out of sight as she could to avoid people seeing her.

She had an earphone plugged into her remaining ear, but it wasn't music she listened to.

She had hacked into the frequency used for the police to radio on, she always found it entertaining to hear the chatter along with talk the public normally was not privy to.

She was just round the back, loading up the dishwasher when she heard about gunfire at a resident's home. It would have interested her little if not for recognising the address.

"Kou..." she gasped, dropping the cup onto the floor with a shatter.

"Sonia, I heard a crash and...is everything okay?" came the voice of the kindly old fox, about the only colleague that actually spoke to her.

"No, something just came up. Can you cover for me? Also can I borrow your Ford truck? I promise I will bring it back before closing time," Sonia just about growled, staring intensely into the fox with her one eye.

He hesitated for a moment before sighing and reaching into his pocket and pulled a set of car keys out. "I don't know what is going on but I can tell this is something you need to do. Just be careful, of yourself and my truck," he said with a wry smile.

She grasped his paws in her large ones, "Thank you Dan," she said before whipping out the back door, not even bothering to take her apron off as she clambered into the old truck and started it up with a cough and sputter. Pulling out of the car park, she headed towards where she knew a certain small canine was up to his head in trouble.

Punching in the coordinates for 23rd street, she pushed the old truck as fast as it would let her go, topping out at only 70mph. That old dog did not like to spend on better equipment it seemed.

She arrived at the house with still no sign of the cops, seemed to be fewer and fewer these days. She saw the door was wide open and the sound of gunfire hastened her steps before going flat against the side of the door and cautiously peering in. More gunfire echoed from upstairs which told her she needed to act fast.

Whipping up the stairs as quietly as possible, she peered onto the dingy landing to see it was just an attic and standing just a few feet away from her was the assailant, wearing a full balaclava to mask the assailants face.

"Bet you thought it was funny, real funny huh Kou? My parents disowned me after they found out I was in with the local gangs running this shitty neighbourhood, but the Tooth and Claw gang don't turn one of their own down. And once I kill you I will be able to sleep easier," he said, his voice sounding borderline insane as he fired another shot under the bed Kou was hiding under, just missing his huddled form.

"I think that is quite enough," Sonia growled from behind the figure, dropping an elbow onto his back, knocking the wind out of him with a grunt. He recovered faster than Sonia expected and it was only her reflexes that saved her from getting a bullet in the head, just twisting out of harm's way behind a wardrobe, hearing the wood splinter as the bullet thudded through and just stopped shy of exiting.

Dashing out from her cover, she grabbed his wrist and twisted, making the masked youth cry out and drop the gun before flipping him over her shoulder.

Rolling from the impact, clutching at his wounded wrist, the figure glared with hatred at both the figure hiding under the bed and the lioness before the sound of sirens could be heard.

"This isn't over," he snarled before rounding and dashing down the stairs and into a waiting car that peeled off before the cars arrived.

"You can come out now," Sonia said softly under the bed before going onto her stomach, only to see Kou shaking and crying from his foetal position, tail wrapped around as though it would shield him.

Sonia let out a frustrated sigh, she was directly involved in this situation now and couldn't just go back to her usual life. And where the hell was that damn uncle of his among this mess?

*

It was only two minutes before the cops arrived, but it was ten minutes until Sonia had been able to convince Kou to crawl out. They had found his uncle cowering in his room with a shotgun in his hand before he started shouting and ranting how his nephew had brought nothing but trouble to his doorstep and wanted him out.

"We'll take him into custody, until we can track down the one gunning for Kou," one of the cops said, though Sonia had a feeling they would soon give up. After all, she knew the local cops were not as fussed about protecting foreigners.

"I will take him in, former Captain Sonia of the 11th armed forces squadron," she said in an authoritative tone.

Kou's eyes went wide at hearing she was former military, and the officers had little issue about handing custody over to the one who had intervened, a former army bigshot at that.

As Sonia drove back to her job to drop the truck off, Kou sat there in mute silence, still visibly shocked from such a traumatic ordeal.

"Hey, you'll be fine kid," Sonia said with as much reassurance as she could muster, going to reach a paw out to him, checking herself, then pulled it back and sighed.

"Thanks for the truck Dan, you should think about getting a better set of wheels sometime though," she said, tossing the old fox his keys.

"You're welcome Sonia but, who's the kid?" he said, peering around her as he stayed a step just behind her.

"He's...a friend," she said, not knowing how to word a delicate situation, "look Dan I need to take some time off to sort something out. Can you cover for me for the next few weeks?" she said to him, laying a strong hand on the wizened fox's shoulder.

He quirked an eyebrow at her before sighing, "Okay, but be careful. Whatever you are tangled up in, don't let it bite you in the ass, okay?"

"Thanks Dan, she said before leaving with Kou following her, still seeming to be in a daze.

As they climbed back into her jeep, she sighed and pressed her head to the steering wheel before Kou finally spoke up, albeit barely above a whisper.

""What now...I am to be fearful my whole life and hide behind you whilst I try to find a job, knowing I could be shot at from a car any time now?" he said, only just choking back a sob.

"I'm working on it," Sonia sighed, massaging her brow with her finger and thumb before setting off down the road. "No, my intent is not to mother and coddle you for the rest of your life. My intent...is to help you help yourself."

*

And so for the next three weeks Sonia put Kou through the grinder. Her cabin was his cabin, he was without TV, internet, and only power to charge his mobile phone up. But the peace gave him some clarity, in between the ruthless training she put him through.

Sonia knew she only had a few short weeks to toughen Kou up, she was met by defiance at first and him just, 'giving up.'

"You don't get to give up Kou, not while I still breathe the same air as you," she growled on one of their first training regimes. A simple enough routine for Sonia but for someone like Kou, was beyond brutal!

"Just...look at me!" He panted from his collapsed position on the floor, "I am small, fluffy and only have short claws. What am I to do, tickle him to death?"

"You think I am only a strong fighter because I'm a lion?" Sonia said in disgust before yanking him up by his scruff so he was eye level with her. "I had to train hard to get the way I am. It isn't about the limitations we think we have, it is pushing past those! Channel your ancestors instincts. Your feral descendants were known to be very adaptable and cunning."

"Yeah sure, I will just use my tail next time to tickle him to death," he grumbled before she dropped him, only just catching himself from landing face first.

"You are small and nimble though; that padding is a good way to throw your opponent off, hiding what is underneath the fur. I can't make you into a fighter in the short weeks we have but I can teach you the basics if you let me!"

And so the training continued, with Kou begrudgingly accepting that she had a point. It was this or fear for his life as a helpless foreigner until by a miracle he made it back to Japan.

It was during his second week that he asked the question burning in his head.

"Sonia...what did happen to make you...well, as you are now?" He said timidly.

"None of your business kid," Sonia growled as she towelled off her sweat matted fur, about to head to get a shower which signalled the end of discussion.

Only Kou was not having any more of it and grabbed her by the tail. "Look, I have been patient and obeyed you for the past two weeks, I think you owe me at least some an-WOAH!" He cried out, just dodging a swipe by Sonia's wicked claws before dodging round her and leaped onto her back. Only for her to jump with her back to bash him into the wall before he quickly let go and winced as she collided with a groan.

He approached her timidly, but with determination as Sonia picked herself up. "Get lost kid, go get yourself killed for all I care," Sonia growled, her eyes looking feral, as though she was barely holding herself in check.

Kou saw just then the hurt she was carrying in her chest and before she could react, he flew himself at her, wrapping his short arms around as much of her as he could.

"Sonia...please. I can see whatever happened is hurting you, poisoning your heart. Please, I have trusted you so please, trust me. You don't have to live this way."

Sonia growled, looking like she was going to fly into a wild rampage before she broke down, sobbing as all her pent up emotions spilled forth.

Letting her go as Sonia slid to the floor, he waited patiently for her to regain some of her usual composure.

"Fine," she croaked out in a raspy voice, raw with emotion, "I'll tell you what happened. The fuck load of good it does holding onto it."

"Myself and the 11th squadron were sent out as reinforcements in an ongoing war, afraid I can't tell you where, top secret stuff. I served the armed forces for about half my life, worked my way up from grunt to captain of my own company. I was given the bearings on the situation by the leader of a supposed ally base. We were to go where the enemy was camped and herd them into an ambush..."

Her paw clenched and her fangs bared as the pain was brought to the fore, only continuing once she had taken some calming breaths. "But the captain of our allied forces hated our country, bore a grudge against us. They made a deal with the enemy to sell us out, and we were the ones ambushed!"

Her hand curled into a fist as she slammed it into the floor, "MY ENTIRE COMPANY OF SOLDIERS WAS WIPED OUT!" She roared, "only I survived, not before losing an eye and ear from shrapnel before I could get the message out back to America that we had been betrayed! Even now after counselling I still have nightmares of all the dead, of the families weeping I had to get in touch with! Every day I look in the mirror and wish I had died with them!"

Sonia broke into tears again, shaking as tears streamed from her one good eye, staining her fur.

Kou who had sat through it all didn't know what to do. She had suffered through something beyond his imagination. But...he could do one thing.

He stood up, wrapped his arms around her furred neck and his fluffy tail around her shoulders like a fluffy scarf. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't have pried," he said softly. "But...I AM glad you made it alive. So please...don't think you are all alone in this life. You have me," he whispered.

Sonia's sobbing and shuddering subsided with Kou clinging onto her before her sobbing turned into a sad chuckle. "I guess...I am not all alone am I huh? Glad to have met you...Kou."

*

After their heart to heart, Sonia stopped treating Kou like some kid and with more respect, and Kou had a newfound admiration for the strong willed Lioness. In their last week, Kou and Sonia worked properly together to instil her lessons of combat into him and gave him routines to keep practising, both making a promise to check in with each other once in a while.

Kou's uncle was made to take him back under threat of being deported back to Japan.

His bedroom still sported scars from the gun, but he was a practical person and managed to get the damage repaired or at least covered.

At college things got better and worse. The Fennec who had been getting close to Kou confessed her feelings to him which he accepted, but the squirrel seemed to harbour the same, unspoken feelings and after finding they were dating, distanced herself to Kou's regret.

Lessons continued with Kou actually making a lot of progress now he didn't have to worry about being bullied in class and life continued as if nothing bad had ever happened.

But Kou knew it couldn't stay that way for long.

Getting off at his stop, just a short walk from his home, he gave the fennec a gentle kiss on the muzzle.

"See you later Kou," she said to him in a soft voice which only made Kou's heart hammer more in his chest.

"S-see you l-later Riana," Kou stammered bashfully as the door closed and the bus trundled off.

He was that flustered, he didn't pay much attention to the traffic as he crossed and had to neatly dodge a car or two to their blaring horns at him.

"Damn it Kou, how am I going to take things further with her?" He muttered to himself. "You've seen plenty of porn but never actually been with one before. Damn it, man up!" He said, hitting himself in the head.

He was just about to turn for his street before he noticed something, or someone in a hoodie, following him home.

He sighed and worked up the nerve. Undoubtedly it was his assailant from before. So instead of heading home he carried on walking, going to where there was a closed store. He heard a rustle and something metal click, knowing his stalker was probably getting his gun ready before he legged it, streaking up and over a closed side gate and into the wide, back loading area.

His assailant hurried up, vaulting over a few seconds after him but couldn't see his target.

"Damn, where did that shit get to?" He growled from under the hood before Kou sprung out from behind the old dumpster and before his assailant could react, slid under him, taking the legs out from underneath and soon as he went over, grabbed the gun and tossed it onto the roof of the building.

"Damn you! You think you are some hot shit huh?" snarled a familiar face.

"Dale...I knew it was you. You just couldn't try turning over a new leaf could you?" Kou said as he stood over him, leaping back as the coyote tried to grab his leg.

"With or without my gun I will kill you. You have taken everything away from me and now you will pay!" Snarled the enraged coyote as he leapt to his feet and charged at Kou, swinging at him with the Racoon Dog keeping just out of his reach. "Stand still you shit!" He howled out before grunting as Kou snuck in after dodging a swing, punching Dale in the gut with surprising force winding him.

Not giving him a chance to recover, Kou wrapped his fluffy tail around his ankles and tugged hard, sending him crashing to the floor before dodging a switchblade knife.

"You are not leaving alive, if not for you I would still be in college and part of the gang. Now I have NOTHING!" He howled and swiped frantically, managing to nick Kou's ear and draw a little blood.

"You did it all to yourself Dale, wake up to the truth!" Kou cried out, just narrowly avoiding his eye from being taken out before remembering a move Sonia had taught him.

Waiting for the next swipe, Kou managed to dodge to the side before whipping his hand out, grabbing his wrist and twisting hard.

A sickening crunch followed with Dale dropping the knife but Kou was done being merciful. Keeping a tight grip, he pulled on him, staggering the coyote towards him where he thrust his elbow with the momentum and cracked it under his jugular, knocking the last of the fight out of him in a breathless, whimpering heap.

"I should be thanking you I guess?" Kou said softly, standing over the coyotes' beaten form and breathing hard. "If not for you mugging me, I never would have grown stronger.

"Wow," Sonia said the next day as Kou sat by the roaring fire, recounting his tale to her. "Looks like my little Kou is all grown up now," she smiled warmly, sipping from a hot mug of tea. "And you've been bragging to all your school mates?"

"Nah, not really if I'm honest," Kou said as he drank from his own mug with his tail curled up in his lap. "To be honest I'd rather people NOT hear of this. I'd hate for people to start challenging me like in those 80's karate films," he said with a half laugh.

"Well, you certainly have a better head on your shoulder than when I was your age," she said as the snow blew outside, hearing the odd whistle as the wind picked up and stirred the snow into a flurry. "It seems really bad out there, you had better sleep here tonight. I'll give you a lift in the morning Kou," Sonia said before pausing as his face fur seemed to fluff from a blush and noticed the tip of his tail was twitching a lot. "Is something the matter?"

"Huh? No, well yes...maybe," Kou stammered before sighing and placed his mug down on the oak carved table. "I...don't know how to come out with it," he said, looking at the floor and his feet, feeling foolish what was going around in his head.

Sonia stood up and knelt down by Kou's side before cupping his chin in her hand, forcing him to raise his head so they locked eyes.

"Oh," Sonia said with a smirk, seeing his discomfort. "My little Kou is in love huh?"

Kou pulled his face out form her paw before glaring at her.

"Oh I'm sorry Kou, just your reaction was so precious I couldn't help but tease. I am sure the girl will be lucky to have a stud like you," she said with more warmth.

"That's just it," Kou muttered under his breath, "I have never had a girlfriend before. I'm not sure I could please someone like Lucy...I'm worried my lack of experience will show."

"You're only young. How old are you, 16, 17? Not everyone has to be in the sack soon as they gain sexual awareness you know," Sonia chuckled.

"I'm 18 actually," he said in a huffy tone. "I was hoping...well...that maybe you could give me some pointers," Kou said, feeling himself heat all the way to the tips of his ears.

"Hmm, so you're 18 huh? Then that makes you of age," Sonia said in thought before standing up and nodding before picking Kou up with a cry of protest.

"H-hey, what do you think you are doing?" Kou cried out as he wriggled in her grip, only to find himself deposited gently on her bed.

"You want experience, and I have seen your glances at me, you find me attractive don't you? So, maybe I could give you some hands-on experience whilst sating an itch. It has been a good while since I had a bed mate."

Poor Kou just opened his muzzle in disbelief, unable to say anything. Words failed him a few times before shutting his muzzle, unable to find his voice.

Sighing, Sonia shook her head, "I'm sorry, forget I said anything," she said in a tone that spoke of loneliness, "I'm 40 years old, it is creepy for me to try and take advantage of you like that."

As Sonia made to stand up, Kou seemed to finally find his voice. "No," he said quietly, grabbing her fingers with his hand, "please...I want this as well."

"Kou...there is over 20 years between us both. Are you okay with that?"

A nod from him made her muzzle twitch in a smile, it HAD been nearly five years. And she would be helping him prepare for his girlfriend. "Just don't mention this to her, that will be the fastest way of ending things between you okay?"

"Noted," Kou said with an audible swallow.

"With that said," Sonia said, her tone turning husky as she guided Kou into laying down on her double cot. "Want to still go through with this?" She said, teasingly unbuttoning his cargo trousers.

Kou ended up swallowing, he felt as if he would combust from the heat flooding his body. "Hey relax, I'm pretty sure a boy your age has seen his share of magazines," Sonia said, her tone teasing.

"I, w-well," Kou swallowed, looking away from her before he felt her grab his hands and guide them towards something warm and soft.

He whipped his head up to see she had already taken her bra off and stood there bare chested, guiding him to feel up her generous rack. "How do they feel, better than just looking at pictures right?" she said in a breathy growl, her own needs after so long and so much hardship starting to rise.

Kou tried to talk, but the poor dog couldn't get his words out. His mind told him to run away, but he wanted this as much as Sonia did. He could feel his innate shyness giving way to his lust and a want to explore her. She was built like an Amazon and he couldn't lie, she was very much the desire of his dreams before he got into a relationship.

His little paws began to wander without her encouragement, squeezing a good handful of her chest, hefting and rolling. Getting more and more into it as she guided them down onto the bed, his trousers quickly tenting.

He was so distracted he didn't know she was unfastening the fly of his boxers before she gasped and he paused, suddenly feeling very exposed again.

"I, um I-I can explain," he began to stammer, thinking she found him a freak as his orbs hung like golf balls and his member was an impressive six inches, much larger than she thought possible for his build.

"When they say you are the real live Tanuki's they are not kidding," Sonia said, her voice becoming more lustful.

One hand came to wrap around the spellbound Kou's length, running her hand over his length, causing a whimpering moan to escape from him. Just that one motion from her seemed to have him nearly ready to cum, having never had anyone else touch him like this.

"A girl expects to be complimented, you know," Sonia said in a teasing voice.

"W-well, you're very beautiful. You have a-a n-nice body and..."Kou stammered before SOnia sighed and rolled his eyes, leaving her admiration of his genitals before leaning in to kiss him firmly on the muzzle.

"You..." he breathed after the kiss, "are also a good teacher," he moaned before leaning up to kiss her muzzle back, his confidence growing as she let him take control, his little paws roving her body, feeling her large rack up and running down her sides.

"Mmh look who is getting confident," Sonia moaned once he broke the kiss, wiping their combined saliva from her muzzle.

Breathing hard, Kou looked at her with admiration before seeming to realise she had at some point during their making out, completely undressed him and herself to just their fur.

"You don't have as many partners as I have had without learning how to be dexterous," Sonia smirked down at him as he suddenly sat up, feeling very exposed as she looked over his fluffy form. Only to realise she was in full nudity and tried to avert his eyes from her crotch, only to find it drawn back to it.

"Kou... if this isn't helping you we can stop," Sonia sighed, feeling she may have pushed things too far. She was trying to help him but she also had a desire needing to be sated and that might have clouded her judgement.

"I...no," Kou said, grabbing her hand as the lioness made to get off the bed and pulled her down with surprising strength. "I want to continue, I...also want to repay you for all the help you have given me," Kou said, giving her a determined look. Without even waiting for her reply, he pressed his hand to her pussy, feeling how soaked she was already and slipped a finger inside, making her give the cutest moan, something that made him smirk.

"Wh-what are you smirking at?" Sonia said, trying to sound angry but the pleasure that was starting to build was making it hard.

"Just didn't expect how cute your moans would be, this is the clitoris yeah?" he said, moving his finger to rub the nub of flesh poking from its hood. He was rewarded by an increase in scent and moisture from her depths before rubbing and pinching the sensitive node, making the much older lioness squirm. "Wow, you are really needing this huh?" he said, the urge to jump her right now began fighting for dominance in his mind as he grew bolder with his exploration of her body.

Sonia wasn't going to let someone more than half her age take charge, so she used her strong legs to wrap around his body and with a squeak of surprise from Kou, flipped them over and went tail nose to tail with him.

"I'm sure you know what this position is called, right Kou?" Sonia smirked in their 69 position before grabbing his shaft. "Allow me to show you what a woman of experience can do."

With that she proceeded to gently caress him to full hardness, her fingers stroking near his base, caressing and hefting his heavy balls whilst her tongue flicked against his glands and coiled around the top before suckling, tasting as he began to spurt pre into her muzzle.

Kou did his best to match her but his efforts were clumsy and distracted until Sonia slowed down her efforts, feeling he was nearly ready to blow already and instructed him in the art of cunnilingus. She told him to use a finger to help stimulate her clit whilst using his tongue to lick inside her tunnel and to give her vulva the odd suckle and nibble.

He was a quick learner and soon had Sonia matching his moans with her own.

"Ah K-Kou, wait!" Sonia moaned, feeling he was getting a little too into it as she gently pushed his head away from her.

"We need to save some stamina for the climax little man," she said, turning around on the bed to gently press his head into her passage.

"I-I must be dreaming," Kou moaned as he felt her hand wrap around and then her vulva spread with his girth, feeling the tip sink in, seeing Sonia in all her glory with her heavy chest drawing his eye, and then her face. To him, the missing eye and ear just lent a savage beauty to her as she began riding him.

She placed her hands behind her, lending her support, surprised at how well he filled her out as she took more and more of his six inches inside, her one good eye half closing in pleasure as she went down on him. She needed this as much as Kou did after five years of denying herself.

"Don't just stare Kou, we're bed partners for tonight after all," she moaned as her chest bounced more as she got into it.

Swallowing, Kou let go of any restraint and groped them, pinching her large nipples and hefted them, loving their warmth and softness but also the muscle underneath. Rolling them in his hands, Sonia rolled her neck to the side, moaning long and deep before she took him up to the knot, stopping there as even though she wasn't in heat, she didn't fancy tying and running the risk.

Kou seemed to understand as he stopped his own instinctual thrusts upwards into her and let the older lioness take control.

She hefted his sack as it pulled taut to his base, feeling as his shaft began to throb inside her.

"Don't hold back Kou!" She moaned as he gave one last arch of his hips, one last thrust onto him before they both cried out in a shared orgasm.

He pumped and pumped her full of his young, creamy seed, filling her passage as her walls clamped hungrily around him.

Wrapping her arms around him, she held him close, letting him feel the softness of her chest against his thickly furred body, feeling him thrust and pant heavily in her ear. Kou gritted his teeth before opening his muzzle, only to let out the oddest screech she had ever heard from a canine as he lost himself to the feeling.

Once his high began to fade, he opened his eyes to see Sonia staring at him with a confused expression.

"Wh-what?" He said, panting hard, moaning as he pulled out with a last spurt of seed onto the bed covers.

"Well," Sonia said in a husky tone, panting in turn, shivering as she felt all that seed run out into a sticky, messy puddle between them, "I've never heard what a raccoon dog sounds like. Guess I was taken by surprise there," she said with a soft chuckle.

"Ah yeah. G-guess I should have warned you about that," he said, looking at his crotch suddenly bashful before he felt his head pressed between those warm breasts of hers.

"You're okay Kou, just maybe warn your girlfriend yeah? And Kou, thanks for giving this gal a good ride, it had been a while," she said, her voice full of warmth.

"No, thank you Sonia," Kou said softly, feeling safe in her warm embrace, finally feeling ready to take things further with his relationship and with his life after graduating. "Thank you for everything."
