Black Cheetah part 1
Keke ran down the river, her friends right in front of her, the surrounding area was filled with their laughter.
Suddenly she skidded to a halt, her friends disappearing behind a bend in the river. She turned to look at a log that had fallen across the river bank, nearly hidden in shadows for the over hanging undergrowth.
A perplexed look crossed her face, for on top of the log was sitting a dark figure, a boy of at least 18, no older than she. His clothes were in tatters and his fur was ragged.
She could tell he was a cheetah, like she, but unlike her, who's fur was a warm tawny which contrasted beautifully with her black spots, his fur was a solid black.
She cocked her head to one side as she looked at him, he just sat there watching her silently. She reached behind her and into her backpack, which she carried everywhere with her, and, after a bit of searching, pulled out a sandwich.
She pulled half of the sandwich out of the baggy and extended her arm out to him, offering him the half of sandwich.
He closed his eyes and shook his head slightly. She frowned. She could tell he hadn't eaten in days. She took a step forward, closer to him, reaching out farther and more insistent.
He opened his mouth slightly, as if to say something, but then closed it and reached forwards, taking the sandwich.
She smiled, tossing the rest of the sandwich back into her pack, and darted down the river after her friends.
The black cheetah looked after her until she disappeared behind the bend and he noticed that she turned back to look at him. Slowly lifting the sandwich up to his mouth, taking a small bite, he sat there, thinking.
She smiled, catching up to her friends easily, and they continued playing, their laughter once again filling the area, but the image of the black cheetah was still clear and prominent in her mind.
That night as she lay down on her pallet, the moonlight filtering down thru the window to shine on her face. A soft sigh escaped from her mouth. All day, sense she had met that boy, she had been preoccupied, the image of him sitting half hidden on the log in the front of her mind.
She kept wondering what his name was, what his voice sounded like, and why was he there not having eaten for days.
Those questions kept popping up in her mind, keeping her from her chores. Her father had seemed curious, her mother just cast a poorly concealed smirk at her.
A frustrated growl escaped from her throat and she rolled over onto her side, throwing her arm over her head. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't fall asleep, the image of that boy kept appearing and waking her up each time she started to drift off.
She sat up abruptly, her eyebrows furrowed, and jumped to her feet, walking towards the window. She swung her herself out nimbly, landing lightly on the slanted rooftop. slidding down the roof she jumped to the ground and took off towards the river, the chill air cutting thru her night clothes, just a pair of soft, flexible leather shorts and a thin, soft T-shirt.
She leapt off the river bank, landing in the river, water spraying up around her as she started running again, creating a blueish-silver mist that surrounded her.
Soon her thin night shirt was soaked thru and sticking to her body, making it see thru, but she didn't care as she really didn't have much of a sense of modesty.
She skidded to a halt as she reached the fallen tree, her unusual blue eyes flashing in the moonlight as she looked around, searching for the boy.
She jumped up onto the log and sat down, frowning. The boy wasn't there. She looked down at her feet beneath the water and began slowly swinging her legs. It was foolish of her to think that he would still be here, after all the time that had past.
She jumped down and began slowly walking back towards the house, scuffing her feet against the bottom of the stream. It would be dawn in a couple of hours and she should be home before then, but she didn't feel like going home just yet.
Suddenly angry, she kicked a rock as hard as she could, shooting it out of the water and into the surrounding undergrowth. She yelped slightly, falling back into into the water, rubbing her now hurting foot, and angry scowl on her face.
She looked up, startled, as she heard a muffled cry of alarm coming from the direction the rock had flown.
She leapt to her feet, a small gasp escaping her mouth and she darted forward, pushing thru the undergrowth. A dark figure moved up ahead, turning to face her, it's eyes flashing wide in alarm before it started running.
"Hey! Wait!" Keke called out to the figure, hurrying to catch up. She had a slight advantage over the person, knowing the surrounding area and how to move in it better than most others, so she started gaining on the figure.
This chasing went on for an unknown time before they burst out of the woods and onto a moon-bathed plain. She smiled slightly, darting to one side and circling in front of the figure as it hesitated, taken back at the sudden change in landscape.
She gasped as she skidded to a halt in front of the person, blocking him from moving forward. The dark figure was the black cheetah, the boy from earlier.
He got out of running position, knowing he was caught, but a tinge of fear colored his eyes.
"It's you! From earlier, at the river!" Keke exclaimed. "Why'd you run?" He didn't answer. She cocked her head to one side.
"Don't you speak."
"Y-yes." He said nervously after a moment. She smiled.
"Good! I'm Keke. What's your name?"
"Uhh..." he paused for a moment, "Sh-Shadow."
"It suits you." her smile widened and she sat down, inviting him to sit down next to her. He hesitantly sat down after a moments pause.
"You don't say much do you?" He just shook his head.
"So what are you doing out here anyway? I could tell earlier that you hadn't eaten for awile."
"Um..." he trailed off, not really wanting to answer that question.
"Oh, it's ok, you don't have to answer if you don't want to." Keke said, noticing him tense alittle at her question. He instantly looked relived.
"Nice night hu?" she mused, gazing around her at the surrounding area and at the sky, which was beginning to get light.
"It's not really night anymore." Shadow said suddenly. She looked at him, slightly surprised.
"Hey! That's the most you've said so far!" she exclaimed. He looked at his feet, not saying anything more.
She jumped suddenly to her feet, pulling a slightly startled Shadow up with her.
"Come on, you can come with me to my house!" She started pulling him along after her as she started heading back home.
"But! Wait! What about?" He exclaimed, pulling back, looking very alarmed.
"Hu?" she turned to look at him, puzzled.
"What about your parents?" he said weakly.
"Oh, don't worry about them," she started dragging him along again, "my mother will let you stay. They found me when I was a cub. I had stumbled up to their doorstep, half starved, and they took me in without a second thought." she smiled as she thought about her parents, "they're that best parents in the world!" She let go of him and started bounding along, looking back to make sure he followed.
Before they were even halfway to her house the sun had started raising and she skidded to a halt, looking at the sky.
"Come on, we better start running or I'm going to be in trouble for worrying my mom and dad." She started running, Shadow keeping up easily next to her.
By the time they skidded to halt outside her house it was already past dawn and her father was walking out the door, a slightly worried look on his face. He stopped when he saw her walking up to the door.
"Keke! Were have you been! And who's this you have with you?" Her father called. Her mother came to the door and stood behind her father, a relived smile on her face.
Her father was a raccoon, alittle on the over weight side. He loved to laugh and always looked on the brighter side of everything, no matter how bad things seemed he always knew how to brighten everyone's spirit. Her mother was a beautiful vixen, with a well rounded figure. She was the kindest person you would ever meet. She'll help and care for any creature that needed to be helped or cared for, but she could easily out fight most men.
"This is Shadow!" Keke said once she reached her parents, looking over at Shadow, who was standing there tensely and a poorly hidden fear and nervousness in his eyes.
"Hello Sir and Ma'am." he said, dipping his head politely, trying to keep a tremor from his voice.
Her mother tsk tsked under her breath when she saw Shadow's tattered clothes and ragged fur.
"Come on, we need to get you cleaned up and find you some new clothes." She walked out and pushed Shadow into the house.
"Go take care of your chores Keke, your mother will take care of your friend." her father told her.
"Yes father." She bounded off to change into her work clothes and to start on her chores, a light in her eyes and a smile on her face.
Her father chuckled, shaking his head slightly, and walked around to the barn to care for the horses.
Back in the house Keke's mother herded Shadow into the washing area and turned on the faucet for the tub. Letting the tub fill up she turned to Shadow.
"Ok, off with the clothes." He let out a muffled startled yelp as she slashed at him with her claws, cutting his tattered clothes off him quickly and skillfully, making him blink in amazement at how quickly she rid him of his clothes. All he had on now was the sword held to his back by a strap that ran across his chest and he blushed under his fur as he stood there butt naked.
She chuckled and literally pushed him into the tub, slipping his sword off his as he fell into the water. He yelped again as he hit that water and sat up, the water streaming of his fur, and looked at Keke's mother as she looked at his sword.
"This is a nice blade." she remarked as she slid the blade out of it's sheath, swinging it experimentally. "Excellent balance and a good weight, seems to almost form to your arm." she slid the sword back into it's sheath, setting it up against the wall.
"Ok, now to deal with this fur of yours." She dumped a bucket of warm water on his head, making him duck down slightly. She then began to massage the water, mixed with soap, thru his fur, ruffling up his fur so the water soaked down to his skin, making him shiver as he didn't like the feel of the water on his skin.
When she got to his back she paused and ran her fingers lightly down the scars on his back, making him flinch and cringe. She didn't say anything and continued
She started running a comb thru his fur, tugging out all the knots and globs of dirt. He started tensing and blushing as she ran her hands thru his fur in a very over familiar way, massaging close to his sheath, making him try to not get hard.
When she was finished she dunked him under the water, scrubbing his fur to get the soap out. He came up gasping and shaking his head to get water out of his ears.
"Ok, get out now and dry yourself off." He got out and started to shake the water off his fur but she threw a towel at him. She walked at of the room, shaking her head slightly, and came back several minutes later carrying clothes.
"I hope these fit." she said, setting the clothes down next to his sword. "Oh, once your dressed Keke should be in the barn or somewhere around there." she said over her shoulder as she walked out of the room again.
He buckled his sword onto his back then pulled the loose white shirt on, buckling up the leather vest overtop, the supple leather trousers left for him fit his slim form nicely.
He walked outside, blinking in the bright sunlight after being in the dim house. He walked to the barn and poked his head inside, seeing Keke's father raking up hay.
"She's in the back." he said without looking up from what he was doing.
"Thank you." Shadow dipped his head and backed out.
"No problem." Keke's father grinned.
Shadow saw Keke behind the barn, pouring water into a trough and he leaned against the wall and watched her.
She wore pretty must the same thing he wore, except the shirt. All she had covering up her breasts was a short leather vest, that didn't reach down to her trousers, which were cut off at the knee.
She set down the bucket, wiping the back over her forehead before she turned and saw him.
"Shadow!" she bounded over to him, "you look good, a lot better than before!" she smiled at him and he gave a slight smile back.
"When I'm done with my chores I'm free to do whatever, k?" She picked up a rake and began raking animal dung into a pile.
"Want me to help?" he asked after a moment. She glanced around.
"Sure, hmm..." she leaned against her rake, thinking, "you could do this for me while I gather the eggs from the chicken coop." She handed him her rake.
"Okay." He began raking while she disappeared into the chicken coop. She came out about five minutes later, carrying a basket of chicken eggs, brushing feathers off her.
She walked into the house and set the eggs on the counter.
"Oh Mom, could me and Shadow take breakfast to go?" Her mom rolled her eyes slightly.
"Fine, but I hope you got that boy helping."
"Yes Mom, of corse." Keke walked back out, grabbing another rake, and helped Shadow.
By the time they were almost done the chores Keke's mother called out to them that breakfast was ready.
Keke dropped what she had in her hands and darted for the house, Shadow following slower.
Her mother tossed her a bag, then tossed Shadow a bag as well.
"You two go now and eat your breakfast."
"But were not done the chores yet Mom." Keke said.
"I'll finish the chores for you. You go run along, but try and be home for dinner."
"Thank's Mom!" Keke kissed her mom on the cheek and darted away.
"Thank you Ma'am" Shadow said before darting after her. Keke's mother shook her head.
"Young love, I won't be surprised if they mate soon."
"But dear, don't you think it's a bit early for them?" Keke's father questioned, sitting down at the table.
"Oh come on, you remember when we met." She sat down next to him, smiling. He chuckled.
Keke ran across the plain were she had Shadow were last night, until she came to a large rock that over looked the area. Placing the bag in her mouth she climbed up the rock, sitting on the flat top, her legs dangling over the edge, Shadow climbing up after her.
"This is my favorite place to eat or just sit." she remarked as he sat besides her.
"It's beautiful here."
"I know." she giggled and searched thru the bag of food, finally dumping all the contents out on her lap. She started eating, trying, but not succeeding, not to giggle as she noticed how Shadow tried not to attack the food.
"This is delicious!" he mumbled, his mouth full. She giggled.
"Well it would be." They both finished eating quickly and Keke took the trash and put it in a crack on the side of the rock that had several other pieces of trash in it. She looked at Shadow.
"Why don't you take off the white shirt, it's just going to get messed up." He unbuttoned the vest and pulled off the shirt, which she took from him and put it on a sheltered ledge. He then, after a moments hesitation, unbuckled his sword, setting it beside him. A small gasp escaped Keke's mouth as she saw his back.
On his back, hidden before by his sword, was a long set of claw marks, running from his shoulder to his opposite hip.
"What happened!?" She reached over and touched one of the long scars. He flinched away from her touch, cringing, his ears laying back.
"Please. Don't..." he begged, his eyes pleading. She didn't say anything but instead picked up his sword.
He buttoned up the vest again, his eyes filled with relief.
"You know how to use a sword." She glanced at him, her eyes flashing.
"Well enough," a boasting tone in her voice, "I'm guessing you know how to use one as well." She gave him a sideways glance. He smirked, taking his sword back and buckling into onto his back.
"I'm pretty good."
"Pretty good, hu?" She smirked as well and leapt down from the rock, tapping him on the shoulder before she jumped.
"Tag! Your it!" she yelled up and started running. He smiled and jumped down as well, chasing her.
"Your not going to catch me!" She yelled.
"Yeah I am!"
"You catch me ya got to kiss me!" He smiled and picked up his pace. Them he leapt, landing on her.
He kissed her cheek and leapt, running away.
"Your it now!" She chased him, laughing.
They ran together, walked together, or just sat together for the rest of the day, starting to head back towards the house as the sun started to sink towards the horizon.
"Your home in time for dinner for once." her mother remarked, handing her and Shadow a plate of food.
"Were going to eat outside, kay?"
"Of course." her mother said, smiling slightly.
Keke and Shadow walked outside and she climbed up a ladder at the barn, Shadow behind her. She sat on the roof, Shadow beside her, and they ate while watching the sun set.
When they were done Keke put their plates down on a ledge beneath the roof, and looked at the setting sun while Shadow leaned slightly against her.
She smiled and wrapped her arms around him, making them both role down the slightly slanted roof and fall down onto a pile of hay.
They both smiled, the setting sun outlining everything in flame. They kissed each other deeply then Keke got up, pulling Shadow up with her. They bounded out to the plain, standing so close they touched and holding each others hand tightly.
Keke's mother looked out a window at them, smiling, her eyes glowing.
Keke and Shadow, laughed and bounded around each other across the moonlit plain. They had shed their clothes, but the night was beautiful. A warm breeze blew, the grass was cool, and the moon was full, there couldn't have been a more perfect night.
Keke pushed him over, rolling to the ground with him, and kissed him deeply before getting up again. They bounded around each other, their tails twining together, before they both rolled to the ground together, him on top of her, laying in the soft grass.
She smiled up at him, her eyes glowing. He smiled down at her, his eyes glowing as well. She reached down and rubbed at his sheath, making him start to become hard.
He started purring and ran a claw lightly over the lips of her clit while nipping at her neck. She started to purr as well as she became wet, rubbing more at his sheath, coaxing all of his cock out. She then wrapped her arms around him, nipping at his neck.
He thrust slowly halfway into her, making her buck her hips forwards, a soft moan escaping her throat. she curled her fingers in his fur, closing her eyes in pleasure.
He pulled out at a maddening slow pace, moving his head to kiss her on the lips, in an almost apologetic way, then thrust back in hard all the way.
She gasped in pain, her eye flashing open, breaking away from his kiss, her fingers tightening their grip in his fur as he broke thru her hymen.
He kissed her deeply, apologetically and she kissed him back, unconsciously bighting his lip, drawing blood. The pain was soon drowned out by the feeling of him pulling out again and thrusting back in.
His blood dripped into her mouth and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he began to thrust faster.
They both broke away from the kiss, she kissed down his neck and he lowered his head and began to run his tongue over her hard nipples, making her moan again in pleasure. He then began to suck on one of her nipples, brushing it with his tongue.
He was slightly surprised when he coaxed a drop of sweet milk from her nipple and he moved to the other nipple, sucking on it as well and playing with the other one with his hand, all the while thrusting faster and faster.
Soon she was crying out in pleasure, Shadow not far behind her. He began thrusting faster, she tightened the walls of her cunt around his cock and he slammed his cock into her all the way and holding it there as he reached climax.
They both arched their backs as they both hit climax simultaneously, both crying out in a near howl as he sprayed his seed deep within her. They gripped each other tightly, kissing deeply, as their first climax rushed over them.
They rolled over, so they were laying on their sides, hugging each other tightly. They fell asleep like that, their bodies tangled tightly together, tawny mixed with black, his cock still deep in within her cunt.
She woke up in the pre-dawn light, her body untangled from Shadow's and she felt an odd feeling of emptiness.
She turned her head to look for Shadow and found herself being kissed deeply bye him.
"Did you sleep well beautiful?" he purred after he pulled up from the kiss. "You sure look it." He kissed her again.
"So do you." she purred after the kiss. She stood up, "maybe we should start heading back home."
"Probably, but we should wash up a bit first." She nodded her head and they started off in the direction of the river.
At the river they both jumped in together. Keke grinned and dunked him underwater and he grabbed her feet, pulling them out from underneath her.
They both came up laughing and began splashing each other, their laughter ringing thru the forest.
After they were good and soaked they climbed out, shaking the water off their fur, and began searching for their clothes. They soon found them and, after dressing, headed back towards the house, hand in hand.
When they got to the house Keke's mom and dad were still asleep, so they snuck inside and Keke lead the way up to the loft, were she slept. There was already a pallet layed out for Shadow, and it was right next to hers.
They lay down and soon fell asleep again, laying so that the were touching each other.
It was around midday when they woke up again, then they realized that they were awaken by a commotion going on downstairs.
Keke leapt up and darted down the steps, looking around for her parents, Shadow right behind her.
"What is it Keke?" he asked.
"I don't know." she shook her head and ran outside, nearly running into her mother.
"Good, Keke, your awake. There's trouble, go talk to your father."
"Kay. Come on." she and Shadow darted to the barn were her father was.
"What's going on Dad?" she asked.
"We just heard that there is a large ground of slave traders and raiders headed this way. You need to ride to the nearest town and ask for help. Here, take Bolt." her father lead the horse named Bolt over to her.
"Okay, but can't I just run?"
"No, it's two long a distance and you won't be able to make the return trip."
"Kay." she leapt up onto Bolt and gripped his mane, as there was no reins or saddle.
Shadow started to get on after her but her father gripped his shoulder and pulled him back.
"No, you need to stay here and help, and Bolt can't run with two."
"But!" he growled in frustration and walked over to Keke, who slid off Bolt. Grabbing her head in his hand he kissed her deeply then stepped back. She jumped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck, he wrapped his arms around her waist, and they kissed each other deeply before gripped each other tightly, their heads resting on the other's shoulder.
"Come back okay?" Shadow muttered.
"Kay, I promise." She stepped back from Shadow and kissed her father on the cheek.
"Hey, at least you finally get to ride Bolt hu?" her father said, smiling slightly. She attempted a smile but failed, instead she leapt up onto Bolt, gripping his mane, and kicked his sides lightly.
Bolt broke out into a run and they were out of sight in a matter of seconds.
