Tao And Takiro Ryn: © Me~


Tao watched as the now frightened fox paced back and forth across the bedroom. She was currently sitting on the bed, frowning as she thought while her eyes followed Ryn.

"What am I going to do...? I can't go back to him, he'll kill me for sure if he or Neil ever finds me..." The fox was muttering, mostly to herself as she had wrapped her arms around herself while her tail bristled with fear. Tao didn't really know exactly what Takiro has gone through with Evan or Neil, but she can see it in the fox's panicked eyes that it wasn't anything good. She was surprised that the fox was still in good shape, but from a brothel, she would have had to keep up her appearance.

As Tao watched the fox pace, she noticed that the bandages that were usually around Ryn's wrists were removed, revealing a ring all around her wrist of healed skin that she could barely see through the black fur. The other small scratches and bruises had long healed over the few weeks Takiro has been here.

"Alright, calm down before you give me a headache." Tao spoke, standing up from her seat on the bed. "You travelled pretty far from where his place is, so he's probably looking around in the area around his home." She tried to explain, attempting calm the fox.

"But he might be searching here! They were transporting me through this town before I escaped." Taki whimpered with distress, finishing off her pacing before she sat down on the bed, pulling her legs up against her chest to hug them tightly to her.

Tao sighed heavily, sitting down on the bed next to Takiro. "Well, you haven't been out much, so not really that many know you're in this town, much less where you are." She muttered, but thought back to the day she dragged the fox to the gym with her, and trying to embarrass Takiro actually brought a lot of attention to her. But she wasn't about to bring that up anytime soon.

"So, lets not worry about it too much, you've been here most of the time, and it's a bit difficult to find this house because of the trees." She continued to ramble, now pacing in Takiro's spot before she pulled her phone out and started texting a few of her friends around town, hoping to find some information on if two guys were looking for a silver fox with a marking on her left hip. Her friends were mostly party-goers, hanging out in clubs almost every night.

Tao actually felt like going clubbing with her friends, but she didn't want to leave Takiro alone in the fearful state she's in. The poor fox was still shaking slightly as she sat on the bed, looking down at the floor with a distant look on her face, probably trying to convince herself there was nothing to worry about.

After a few minutes, a couple of her friends had texted back, saying that there wasn't anyone looking for a girl in that description in the past few days. This made Tao relax a bit. "Why don't we get out of the house for a bit, maybe go somewhere relaxing?" She asked, putting her phone away and standing from the bed.

"Like where?" Ryn asked, her voice sounding hesitant as if she was afraid to ask. Tao didn't really blame her after all the stuff she did to the poor fox, but the she-wolf really needed to get out of the house.

"Just somewhere to have some fun and forget about all of this. C'mon, I'll get you something to wear. And here." Tao spoke, pulling a second phone from her pocket and handing it to Ryn. "Take this with you just in case. It has Kane's and my number in it. All you have to do is press the green button and press on either name that appears." She explained, showing the fox exactly what to do before turning and walking out the door.

Takiro stood there for a minute, the phone in one hand while she held her tail with the other as her mind was trying to calm itself down before she freaked out about all of this. She finally moved from her fetal position on her bed to move around her room. She glanced at the phone in her hand, then remembering that guy Leon had given her a number to call him with when she needed. She went to the corner where she had begun to throw her clothes in, until she found the sweats she wore that day at the gym. She dug into the pockets to pull out the slip of paper that had the numbers written clear on it. She glanced back to the phone. Now she had to figure out how was she supposed to put his number in the phone so she can just pull up his number when needed like Tao's and Kane's.

She continued to frown at the phone, pressing buttons and once accidentally calling Leon. When she heard the brisk "Hello?" On the other end, she quickly pressed the red button repeatedly in a near panic. She let out a sigh of relief when the call ended, and managed to finally put his number in the phone.

Tao came back, clothes in hand, even though she looked like was all ready and set to go. She wore a purple corset top and a simple black skirt with an accented belt along with a studded collar around her neck along with a few other necklaces.

"Here, put these on and I'll help you with the rest." Tao said while handing Ryn the clothes in her hands. The fox frowned but done what she was told. The clothes fit pretty well, but seemed a little more form-fitting than what Ryn would've liked. After the clothes were on, Tao slipped a few bracelets around the fox's wrists and a necklace around her neck. After a few assessments from Tao, she nodded her approval. Ryn's clothes were similar to Tao's except her top was a purple tank top along with skinny jeans that had an open corseted slit along the sides and a simple black belt.

Ryn's face was slightly red from the way the clothes snuggly fit her body, but Tao didn't seem to notice Ryn's discomfort. "Time to go then!" She announced, walking out with a hesitant fox behind her.
