Foxhunt - Part 4 Story by 2BIT There was no time to fool around with the weasel. Tails had to run, quickly, before more hunters could turn up. Nack saw him running away out of the corners of his eyes as he tugged at the bear trap, trying to get it off his tail. "Little bastard. I'll kill ya for sure, now!" he growled, wincing at the pain of having his tail ensnared. There were some footsteps approaching, and Nack looked with alarm. "Caught in a trap. What a failure you are..." This was the voice from the PA earlier, the weasel recognized it when he spoke. "J-just get me outta this... C'mon... Failure? How much prey have I brought you for this creepy hunt?" Nack stammered. The individual approaching scoffed at him. "Anyone can accomplish that for me. And anyone who gets caught in a trap here..." the voice trailed off darkly, and Nack began to panic. "No, please! I-I'll do anything you want! Stop!" He yelped as he felt the bear trap roughly yanked off his tail, and whimpered nervously in his employer's presence. "...is a fox." the dark figure finished, his hand raising and a light surrounding Nack the weasel. "Wait! Wait!! No, stop, NOOOOOOO!!" As he fled, Tails found his way to a calm lake within a clearing of the forest. He sat on a rock by the edge of the lake, looking around and listening. Confident he was safe, he sighed. "Alright...what's next?" he asked himself. That was quite a question. He had no idea as to the size of these hunting grounds, the lay of the land, or how many foxes he had to rescue. His ears twitched as he heard motion in the water, and he turned quickly, his heart beating rapidly as he thought that maybe it was a hunter. Instead, he found the face of another fox poking out of the water. His heart beat faster. It was a female. He couldn't see much while she was underwater, but it seemed apparent that she was at least mostly naked. The female spoke first. "It's you... Tails... The hero that runs with Sonic!" she said with relief. Tails blushed lightly, looking at the ground awkwardly. He didn't feel much like a hero right now. "Y-yeah, that's me..." he said. The female crept to the shallow end of the lake, closer to Tails. As she rose out of the water, he saw that her privates were covered by makeshift, leafy garments. Those bastards. They stripped her bare. It infuriated him, but at the same time...the view was quite a sight. He blushed deeper as she approached. "I'm Zooey." she said, sitting on the rock beside him, "I see they took your clothes, too..." she murmured. Tails looked down with a loud gasp. Then a relieved sigh. No, his dick wasn't still out. He nodded, and turned his gaze away from her. He wanted to avoid getting a boner around her. The way he felt... He thought he was gay since he gave his virginity to Charmy. What did this mean? Was that an isolated incident? He had so many questions for himself. But...this was not the time for such questions. "So, what are we going to do?" Zooey asked, drawing his attention back to her, "You have a plan, right? I've heard you're a genius!" she said, taking his hand and gazing at him admiringly. His heart was thumping rapidly again. "Get ahold of yourself, Tails..." he thought. Tails felt Zooey's head rest on his shoulder. His blush had to be glowing now. "It's such a relief, finding a brave fox who can help me to safety..." she said softly. No pressure, right? Tails took a deep breath, gently nudged her off himself, and stood up. "There's n-no time to rest. I left a hunter not too far behind me. He's caught in a trap but we shouldn't linger." he explained. Zooey gasped. "Oh, my! Which way do we go, Tails?" she asked anxiously. He had to admit, she was so cute. And having her depending on him, it created a bit of a high for his male pride. Not to mention, filling him with other urges... He shook his head and bit his lip. This was not a good line of thought to have now. "Ahh... We need to head for the border to this hunting ground. We have to try to find a way out." he reasoned. Zooey nodded. "I'll follow your lead! Which way do we go?" she asked. Tails looked around in several directions. He wished he knew. He could just end up going in circles if he wasn't careful. He decided it was best to head in a direction that veered away from Nack, but also swerved a bit so he wasn't travelling a straight line. "That way. Come on, let's move fast!" he said, taking Zooey's hand and running back into the woods with her. He felt her squeeze his hand as they started to run. He glanced back at her briefly. That beautiful yellow fox was counting on him. He had to save her. Then...he could sort out his feelings for her. Feelings? He turned his attention back to the path ahead, blushing hard. He liked her. That much was clear. That would sure make focusing tricky... Shadow and Espio had been traveling for a while. Despite Espio's best efforts, Shadow was hot on Tails' trail. They came to the place where Nack had been caught in that trap, and they were surprised by what they found. Nack was there, tending his wounded tail. His big, bushy wounded tail. Well, it had to be Nack. He wore his hat, he wore his belt, and he wore his purple fur. However, Nack had somehow transformed...into a fox! "Well, this is a new wrinkle..." Shadow scoffed. Nack pointed his gun at them. "I'm no prey... I'll bite back!" he warned. Espio grunted, tossing a shuriken which plugged the barrel of Nack's gun with its expert aim! "How'd you end up like this?" the chameleon asked intently. Shadow shrugged and started walking off. "Punishment for doing something wrong, I take it. Hmph... I only want Tails. Breaking him will teach Sonic a lesson he can't smirk away." he said, glancing back briefly, "You can have this one, Espio. Break him, kill him, it's all the same to me..." he scoffed. As Shadow walked away, Espio took his words to heart, pinning the former weasel to a tree and making him drop his gun. "H-hey, wait! I-I can help you! I know things!" he stammered. "Oh, you'll help all right... But first, you'll atone for your crime... Kidnapping Tails, how low can you get?" he grunted, his hand grabbing below the belt, groping at Nack's crotch! He gasped and blushed softly, his fox ears drooping at the molestation. "W-wait... yer a mole...!" he whispered, only to be silenced as Espio groped his crotch again, fondling his balls! "Oh, I'm a hunter, in my way. You're going to lead me to Tails before Shadow gets him... And if I don't like how you're behaving..." he said, grabbing at that purple fox ass and groping it roughly, "I'll punish you..." Nack's face was red. He felt his cock stiffen a little, and he felt ashamed. Espio began to stroke it gently, and he gasped softly. "You're cute like this, you know..." the chameleon mused. "D-damn you... S-stop... I'll help! I'll help!" Nack groaned. Espio removed his hand and reached down for Nack's gun. "I thought you would..." he whispered, leading him off. Nack would be safer this way, after all. A hunter wasn't to shoot another hunter's catch... Tails and Zooey continued on through the dense woods. Somehow, Zooey had started walking ahead of him. Not only was this a logistical problem, as he couldn't watch for danger before she walks into it, but it served another problem. His eyes were fixed on her fluffy tail as it swayed side to side, her cute butt showing behind it. He gulped softly. He could feel his arousal building the longer he was around her. Maybe it was so strong because she was mostly naked, maybe it had to do with the fact he'd fucked earlier. Regardless, it was tough to ignore, and he was filled with shame as he thought about what she'd think if she turned and saw his dick hanging out. Maybe there was a way around that awkward situation. Maybe he could fashion himself some sort of underwear out of leaves and branches...would his boner just poke through it, though? His ears flattened as he thought about that. "Z-zooey... Do you have to walk up front? What if you're walking into danger?" he murmured nervously. Zooey kept going, fidgiting with her ponytail a bit. "I'm too anxious, I wanna be up front. Besides, you'll save me if there's any trouble, right?" she asked. Tails gulped. "I-I'll do my...best..." he babbled. That was a flimsy excuse on her part. Did she...have the same problem as him? Was she checking him out when he was in front? His eyes widened at the notion, and he had to lightly slap himself. "Unlikely..." he thought. Still, he had to figure something out. He couldn't just fuck her...right? Besides, he'd never been with a girl. It'd likely just be a huge mistake...right? What should Tails do? 1. Be brave and tell Zooey he's attracted to her/ask if she's attracted to him. 2. Attempt to hide his arousal. (any suggestions?) 3. Try to take his mind off lust & focus on escaping. 4. Pull rank and force her to walk behind him. 5. Be creative and come up with your own idea!
