#7 of Instincts of Justice


The ninja fox awoke on the damp grass curled up against the back of a beautiful wolfess. Her warmth was inviting and a drastic contrast from the cool dew collecting on his clothes. A small spring burbled softly and added to the serenity of the scene. His mask was off, lying on the grass a little bit away, but it didn't matter. Kyra had accepted him and his past. The scar running from his cheek down his muzzle was a badge of honor to her. Hiroto huddled closer to the wolf captain and let his mind wander as he lay in the forest glade.

He never thought he would love again after his first love died tragically defending him from her father. She had wanted him to be happy but until this point he had just been running away and covering up his shame and sorrow. Kyra had shown him that he could love again, be truly happy and honor his first love's memory. At long last the ninja had found a place where he belonged, he had no need to run any farther.

Hiroto's heart warmed to the thought of spending his life with this fiery and fun-loving wolf. They complimented each other perfectly, each the voice of reason to the other. His calm and adventure loving green eyes to her intense and determined brown ones. The fox smiled lovingly as he thought of the first time their eyes had met, he the suspected criminal and she the pursuing officer. He realized then that the first time he saw the determination shining in her eyes that he had fallen in love. His mind only needed to learn that his heart had healed.

The ninja planted a kiss on Kyra's furry cheek and inhaled her sweet scent. The shewolf stirred under his caress and slowly slipped into wakefulness. She felt his body close to hers and smiled. Spending the night under the swaying branches beside the spring huddled close to her love had done much to ease her own heart's ache.

"Feeling better my loving shadow?" Kyra whispered.

The ninja hugged her closer, "Much thanks to a certain beauty among canines."

The wolf turned over slowly so she could look into his eyes affectionately. They lay there staring at each other and smiling for what seemed like several minutes. "Hey stranger," cooed Kyra, "are you gonna kiss me or do I need to teach you that as well?"

Hiroto chuckled and leaned in closer and placed one paw on her cheek. When their lips met passion ignited and they embraced enthusiastically. The ninja snaked his tongue into Kyra's mouth and entwined it with hers bringing a muffled moan of joy from her throat. He gently stroked her back and shoulder and she arched her back automatically under his experienced touch.

The wolfess was not satisfied with gentle kissing, she mashed their muzzles together and kissed him harder. Her paw ran across his side and downward to just above his tail. Using her claws Kyra scratched forcefully making the ninja yip excitedly into her mouth. With a smile the wolf backed her face away slightly.

"I think I found a ninja's weak spot. I must explore this thoroughly in order to learn more ways to defeat ninja."

Hiroto smirked, "I told you those thing only work onc-" He yipped again as Kyra scratched the same spot only a bit harder. The next time she did it brought a moan of pleasure.

"Uh huh, only once eh?" Hiroto's hips thrust involuntarily forward rubbing them against the wolf. It wasn't hard to notice the growing bulge pressing against her. "I do believe my little ninja is getting a bit worked up. Maybe I should do something about that, but this..." she scratched above his tail again and the ninja started panting, "is so much fun."

Quickly the fox regained his senses and before she could hit his spot again he tweaked her nipple through her tunic. Kyra gasped and tilted her head back opening her muzzle. "If it is a battle of domination you want I am happy to oblige." They stopped and smiled at each other a moment before scrambling up and out of the other's grasp.

They stood circling in the glade waiting for one to make an advance. The ninja crouched gracefully and moved swiftly while the guard walked tall with an air of command about her. As the ninja inwardly predicted Kyra moved first rushing in powerfully. The ninja moved under her arm hastily and behind her reaching around and groping her breasts as he tripped her up and fell with her to the grass. She lay there easily since the ninja had supported his own weight on his arms that were now underneath both of their bodies still squeezing her breasts. His covered erection now poked at her backside.

"Give up yet?" Hiroto whispered in her ear affectionately.

"Never," Kyra growled huskily. She locked her legs around his and rolled until the ninja was underneath her and she sat up facing his footpaws. The wolf could feel the raging hard-on begging for release as it jabbed at her butt. Before the ninja could do more than struggle a bit Kyra untied the sashes at his feet and yanked his pants. The ninja jostled out from under the wolf but his pants had come off and his stiff member was now visible to the world. A very nice size, thought Kyra, perfect for her needs.

So preoccupied was she by the fox's shaft, Kyra, still sitting on the grass could not evade the rapid movements of the ninja. He slid in close with a tiny knife cut a line down the side of her tunic lightning fast. He even gave her a kiss as he retreated a short distance, where he held up her tunic like a trophy and then let it fall to the ground. This left Kyra with just her pants left and her firm breasts open to the air.

The wolf growled playfully and smiled as she stood up not taking her eyes from the ninja's. They started to slink around the clearing once again this time Kyra was more cautious. She made a few half-hearted grabs for the ninja who easily evaded her attempts. Slowly she maneuvered the ninja so his back was to the small stream. The wolf charged in watching very carefully for any move from the fox to slip past her. Instead the ninja smiled and rolled backward with her charge, grabbed her shoulders and gave a slight kick to her midsection that sent her over his head. She landed in the stream with a splash and lay there in very shallow water. Hiroto flipped back landed atop her with enough force to leave Kyra gasping for a moment.

He leaned in close and whispered with a grin, "It would seem I am faster in mind and body my fire eyed princess."

Kyra blinked but refused to give up she wrapped her arms around the fox's chest and squeezed him to her with all her strength. She rolled to the side out of the stream still holding the ninja then she rested all of her weight onto the fox. Hiroto's breath became labored and he could not force off her grip no matter how hard he squirmed. "Oh, but I think that I have you outmatched for sheer strength."

With his arms pinned to his side Hiroto came up with a desperate plan to escape his lover's grasp. He lifted his leg a frantically rubbed his thigh against Kyra's groin. The wolf threw her head up and gasped at the surprise attack. With her grip loosened the fox crawled further under her until his muzzle came in contact with the wolf's covered crotch. Immediately he began nuzzling and nibbling at her sending the wolf into a fit of moaning and panting. She lowered her chest to the ground and couldn't help but grind down against the fox's face to feel more of his touch.

She quickly realized that she was losing control so Kyra sat up on her knees with the ninja still rubbing her center through her pants. She reached behind her to the ninja's foxhood and squeezed. The ninja had to pause in his ministrations to let out a loving moan as she began stroking his member up and down.

The wolf captain's paw was quite skilled as it ran along the ninja's length. Fighting his urges the ninja bit into the wolf's pants and ripped a big hole in them. With this new access he licked feverishly at Kyra's clit which sent jolts of pleasure up her spine. He ran his tongue quickly over her already soaked sex. With this new intrusion the wolf had to step it up also, she rose up and turned herself around so she could lean forward and run her tongue over the fox's tip as she started rubbing him again. Hiroto then eagerly continued his assault on her pussy.

Both canines tried to lick and suck the other to orgasm while holding back their own as long as possible. Hiroto thrust his nose into her depths and used his tongue to explore as deep as he could. He grabbed her furry bottom and kneaded it roughly knowing that it would drive his lover wild, while Kyra had taken to deep-throating his foxhood, wrapping her tongue around him and fondling his balls. The glade was filled with moans, pants and slurping as the lovers' passion escalated into an all out frenzy.

In the end the ninja could no longer deny his climax and he thrust himself upward and released his foxcum into his lovers waiting mouth. Kyra gulped most of it down quickly but still some dribbled out of her mouth and onto her chin. A moment later she followed him. Kyra shuddered and screamed with pleasure around the ninja's cock. Her muscles clamped down on his nose and her juices flooded his mouth and ran over his muzzle.

When the wolf had calmed down she stood up with a glint in her eyes. Kyra looked down at her fox and smirked. "Well, well, well, it would seem that I am superior and dominant over a puny little ninja."

Playing his part Hiroto kept his eyes lowered nodded and said nothing. Overjoyed with her power over the ninja Kyra became flustered. "Alright my pet, I made a mess down there. Clean it up." The ninja smiled and rose to his knees in front of Kyra. "Wait! First take off these pants you ruined." He did as he was bid and pulled off her pants and letting her step out of them. "Now you may start." Immediately he began licking up the wolf's dripping pussy enjoying the taste. He certainly has a talented tongue, thought the wolf captain. She ran her fingers through his head fur as he pleased her.

Slowly and sensually the ninja cleaned up his new mistress and making sure that on each lick he ran his tongue over her nub. Kyra was getting really worked up from his mouth so she decided it was time. "Enough." She pushed his head away and threw him to the ground. "I need it now and if you move before I tell you, you get nothing. Understand?"

The ninja nodded. Kyra lowered herself and positioned herself over his member. She took it in her hand and ran the tip of it over her lips eliciting a moan from both of them. The fox lay motionless as she inserted his tip inside her. With a smile Kyra stopped and waited to see if he would try to thrust the rest of the way into her. When he did not move she quickly sat down hilting him in her depths and gasped. Her insides had to stretch to accommodate him, she was tight because it had been a while for her, too long she thought.

She growled lovingly and raked her claws across his chest leaving tears in his clothing. She rose up until he was barely inside then plunged down again. Still the fox resisted the urge to thrust into her. With slow movements Kyra used the fox to pleasure herself. She would rise gradually then plunge down again and grind on him before staring again. Her paws fondled her breasts forcefully. The wolf had her head back and she moaned as she rode the ninja. At last she felt she was ready and couldn't stand her smooth and slow movement she rose and fell on his foxhood hurriedly her butt slapping against his thighs each time.

Still Kyra needed more. "Take me HARD!" she demanded. Hiroto was only glad to comply he swiftly pumped into her on her down strokes. Their flesh and fur slapped together loudly as they began moaning and panting again. Knowing what she wanted Hiroto put his paws on her hips, sped up his pace and slammed into her harder.

The wolfess tossed her head from side to side in ecstasy, she moaned and whimpered loudly. She tweaked and pinched her nipples gasping and panting. The ninja was really getting her hot and driving her wild pounding her hard and fast. She felt her climax approaching fast as he flicked his fingers over her clit. Hiroto too was getting closer and his knot was forming at the base of his cock. It slammed against her entrance each time he pumped up into her. With a few more strong pumps his knot pushed past her lips and locked them together. Kyra threw back her head and shrieked her orgasm. The ninja felt her clamping down on his member and with some more short thrusts he pumped her full of his cum. Exhausted the wolfess fell onto the ninja's chest still tied to him.

"I let you win," he whispered into her ear bringing a loving smile to her face.

After a few minutes Hiroto's knot receded and he pulled out of Kyra's leaking pussy. Together they lay on their backs happily as the sun began to descend in the sky. They both were exhausted and just wanted to lie and rest in the forest glade. They huddled against each other looking at the clear blue sky. Hiroto for the first time in his life since felt like he belonged. He was accepted with Kyra and he would give anything to feel that way for the rest of his life. Finally he had found happiness and love again.

The wolf captain was just as happy. She could let herself fall in love without worry. She knew that the ninja would never hurt her and that he would not get caught up in her work as part of the City Guard. Murderers and thieves would never even come close to her mate to hurt her knowing he was a ninja.

Fate had brought the lovers together and beside the spring they forgot about worry and regret. Life's problems would never bother them because they had each other to help deal with them. They would never part because they love they shared was unbreakable.

Or so they thought. As the sun dipped into the west the lovers were still silently cuddled up on the soft grass. Hiroto was daydreaming about his future with his new mate. They were laughing and sharing stories of adventures that had shared. In his daydream Kyra reached over to him and pricked his side with her claw. A slight pain hit him and the dream Kyra repeated the action. The pain was sharper and more noticeable that time. He asked her what she was doing but she clawed his side harder.

The vision of Kyra laughed sadistically and slowly changed into the form of a small mouse. The dead assassin Padfoot laughed at the ninja coolly. He had a small knife in his hand which he used to cut at Hiroto's side.

"Ow!"

"What is it lover?" asked Kyra dreamily.

"My... my side it... ow! It's on fire."

Confused Kyra sat up, "What?"

The ninja lifted his torn shirt and looked down at his side and saw what was wrong. When he had killed Brunin's assassins Padfoot had thrown his blade and nicked his side. Too late Hiroto realized the problem. Padfoot was a poison specialist; of course his blades were poisoned!

Kyra also saw the cut on his side it was a deep blue and looked very unhealthy. They hadn't noticed because it had been covered by his shirt and then they were too occupied and in the throes of passion when it was off.

"Poison," the ninja gasped. "Must have been... slow working."

It was working fast now the fox's skin was burning up and he was in intense pain. In truth the poison was one of the late assassin's favorites. It spread slowly and unnoticeably at first then when the victim thought it was safe it turned painful and deadly.

"Oh no! We have to get you back to Karyd!" She stood up and threw some torn clothes on and helped Hiroto to his feet where he doubled over with pain. "Come on!" she urged him, "Don't you even think of leaving me!"

Together they hobbled out of the forest glade in the direction of Karyd.

Gurda the bunnywife sat at her kitchen table watched a young raccoon boy gobble up his lunch when there was a polite knock on her front door. She excused herself from the table and wiped her paws off on her apron. When she opened the door a plump otter with blue grey eyes in a fancy brown tunic stood politely on her doorstep.

"Yes? Can I be of assistance?" Gurda asked.

"Beggin' yer pardon ma'am I don't mean ta interrupt but I'm a lookin' fer someone," he said with a bow.

"Oh? Well who might that be sir?"

"My name be Skein an' I was lookin' fer a friend o' mine. A very quirky an' animated fellow. I heard say he visited you time ta time."

Gurda smiled and stepped back from the door, "Mayhap I know someone like that. Please do come in and have a cup a tea."

"Thankee ma'am, very kind o' ye," replied Skein as he stepped into the bunnywife's home. Lassun looked to the big otter briefly before he returned his attention to his plate.

Sitting down at the table the otter started as Gurda fetched a cup and a pot of fresh tea. "Now then, me friend is an odd mate, shows up when he pleases an' leaves as quick. Name a Hiroto."

The raccoon boy's ears perked up. "You know him?" the boy asked.

The otter guffawed. "I knew I got the right place. Course I knows him, I taught him all about city life."

"Goodness me, but he has some pleasant friends judging by yourself sir," the bunnywife complimented as she filled the otters cup.

"Oh an' loverly ones too by the look o' ye," Skein winked to his hostess. Gurda giggled and held her apron up to cover her flushed face. "The reason I come here is to have a talk to our mate."

Lassun, his lunch forgotten, piped up, "He been gone since yesterday."

"I'm afraid he's right. He brought a certain naughty child back before vanishing again," Gurda confirmed.

"Ah, well I hope my beautiful host don't mind the presence of an ole seadog whilst I wait for him ta get back then," Skein said pleasantly.

The bunnywife smiled, "Oh not at all dear."

An unexpected knock on the door roused an oversized weasel from his favorite relaxing chair in his study room. He wore ornately designed green robes that covered his enormous bulk and expensive jewelry hung off his fur and on his fingers. As he rose up the padded chair creaked in protest. High Elder Brunin walked to the door and upon opening it saw two figures standing in the hall way. The first was a large muscular lion named Rostern. He was the leader of the slavers and Brunin's second in command of the underground slave movement.

The second was Brunin's servant, a small and businesslike feline, Cassius. He handled many of the Elder's legitimate busywork as well as helping to handle some of the illegal finances. Both wore serious expressions and Brunin knew that something was wrong.

The giant weasel ushered his underlings into his study room silently and the returned to his chair. Brunin indicated to Cassius to start with a grunt. The cat bowed low, "Milord the search for the ninja is not going well. It is believed that he fled the city some time during the night. We lack sufficient fighters able to confront him in any case."

Brunin took this news with nary a blink. He brooded silently and both of his servants knew he was close to exploding. "I don't care for your lack of enthusiasm. I want that renegade found. He must be brought to justice for slaughtering my best assassins."

Cassius gulped. "But Milord we do not have the manpower to apprehend him if he has fled."

The Elder pounded his fist onto the arm of the chair, "I don't care!" he roared. "Hire any cutthroat or murderer you can find. Have them scour every crevasse of the city and its surrounding area! The ninja must DIE! GET OUT!"

Scurrying from the room the cat slammed the door in terror of his master's wrath. Rostern however smirked at his companion's cowardice. He still stood unmoving under Brunin's dangerous glare. "What have you to add my general?"

The lion liked the sound of that title. "Sir several ships are overdue for their arrival. We believe foul play is involved. At least one ship was attacked and sunk, the Bird of Prey's remains were found washed onto shore not far south of here."

"How fares my army?"

"They already number more than the City Guard and each one is loyal to you alone," Rostern replied.

The weasel nodded, "Good your techniques are paying off Rostern, are they ready for battle? Have they been drilled in the tactics of war?"

Rostern smiled coldly, "They are willing and able to take the city for you. Even without further... recruits we can still carry out your plans."

"Excellent we may have to step up the schedule. I don't want anything to interfere with this operation." Brunin paused and folded his hands in front of him. "What do you think of this deadly ninja?"

The evil slaver waved his hand dismissively, "A minor annoyance."

"One that has already taken out the best assassin in the city," Brunin reminded him. "And he is suspected to have infiltrated the caves."

"Security has been taken care of, he will not easily get past my best guards. Should he show his face underground again he will never again see the light of day."

The smile on the High Elder Brunin's face could have frozen a river over. "Excellent."

It was well past dark when Skein decided it was past time to head home. The ninja would come to see him soon enough he thought. He respectfully thanked Gurda for the dinner she had served him and for the company. The bunnywife led him to the door.

"Don't be a stranger now. Come by anytime you feel like a good home cooked meal or some conversation."

The otter smiled, "Don't ye worry now, I'll came an' say hello soon."

He opened the door and what he saw stopped him in mid-stride. Outside on the doorstep Kyra was bent over from the weight of the ninja on her back. Her breath was ragged forced and when the door opened she collapsed in the doorway. Hiroto was in worse state. His breathing was very shallow and he had passed out some time ago. They were clad in dirt smeared rags that barely hung on their beaten bodies.

"Poi...son," the wolfess gasped before she too fell into unconsciousness.
