The little tigress turned to look over at her best friend Lizzy, who was kneeling next to her on the towel-covered bed.\n\n“What was that all about?” the tiny stoat asked, clearly confused.\n\n“I dunno,” Alex replied with a shrug. She was rather sad that she wasn’t going to get to do any sexy stuff with her father. Maybe later she could ask him about it, she thought, after he’d finished doing whatever it was he needed to do.\n\n“So what do we do now?”\n\n“Mmm...” Alex squirmed a bit, uncomfortable with asking her best friend to do sexy stuff to her. Still, it felt really, really good. “Well, I was hoping daddy would lick my flower, but since he’s got stuff to do... oof!”\n\nAlex fell backwards onto her pillows as Lizzy pushed against her fluffy white chest fur, then spread her legs as the stoat pushed against the inside of her thighs. Lizzy scooted back near the foot of the bed and lay down with her face directly between Alex’s thighs.\n\n“Lift your knees up a bit, sexy kitty.”\n\n“I... umm... okay. Can you stack a few of those pillows there under my cast?”\n\nLizzy didn’t even answer, pushing herself back up and quickly stacking several pillows to one side before flopping back down on her tummy. Even before Alex had gotten comfortable, she twitched as Lizzy’s cold nose poked under her boy bits and pressed up against the top of her flower. Neither of them realized they were breaking one of the five rules.\n\n“Ack! That’s cold!”\n\n“Hush, it’ll warm up quickly. Especially with this to keep me warm.” Lizzy said as she used one paw to gently lift Alex’s fuzzy balls and draped them over the top of her nose. Then she tucked both paws underneath her chin and stuck her tongue out, running it around the outside of Lexi’s flower. She could taste the salty, sweet, spicy scent of Lexi’s girl-juice, and pressed the tip of her tongue further in.\n\nAlex gasped, feeling Lizzy’s smooth, warm tongue touch her girl-bits, then sighed in pleasure. It felt so much better than using her own paw. Feeling Lizzy’s tongue twirl around just inside her, then running up the tiny creases to each side and around her button was absolutely amazing.\n\nAlex lay back, enjoying the feeling, feeling slightly guilty that she wasn’t doing anything for Lizzy at the same time. Her penis had gone soft while she’d been licking father’s, but it gradually began poking back out of her sheath again as Lizzy continued to alternate between licking in and around Alex’s flower and swirling her tongue around that sensitive nub at the top.\n\nLizzy was totally content to simply lay there and lick her best friend’s flower. Lexi had always been there for her when she was sad, and she thought it was only fair to help Lexi feel better. Lexi’s broken leg had to hurt, and she was guessing that this was helping to take her mind off it. As she lay there licking, she watched Lexi’s penis slowly stiffen, then she remembered something Father had shown her to do to Mother.\n\nAlex jerked; Lizzy bit her! No... wait... she was using her teeth to hold her button while flicking her tongue over it. With each stroke, Alex felt her whole body twitch, like tiny sparks of electricity were shooting from her button to deep within her tummy and out through her belly button and the tip of her penis.\n\n“Stop! Stop... too much,” Alex gasped out.\n\nLizzy quickly let go, pulling her nose out from under Lexi’s balls. She’d been able to feel Lexi’s entire body jerk with every lick when she’d done that, and her sexy kitty herm-friend’s boy-bits were twitching like they were about to squirt. She was actually kind of sad to stop; she wanted to see if she could make Lexi’s penis squirt by licking her flower.\n\n“Are you okay?” the little stoat asked.\n\n“Uh... yeah... just don’t do that thing with your teeth for more than a few seconds. That was... just... wow. It was [i]too[/i] good.”\n\nLizzy grinned, then took hold of Lexi’s penis, licking the drop of pre off the tip. Then she got an idea. “Lexi? While Mother and I are doing sexy stuff, sometimes Father likes to just watch, and he puts some lube on his paw and wraps it around his penis and moves it up and down.”\n\n“I was kind of touching my penis when we were rubbing our flowers together... I didn’t think about lube though.”\n\n“Here, let me show you what Father does. Hand me that bottle of lube,” she said pointing to it with her other hand while she licked another drop of pre off the tip of Lexi’s boy-bits.\n\nAlex reached over and grabbed the bottle off her nightstand and handed it to Lizzy. Lizzy popped the top open and tilted it over one hand. Lube squirted out, covering her hand and leaving a trail of slimy liquid across Alex’s tummy. \n\n“Oops! Too much. Oh well,” Elizabeth said, handing the bottle back.\n\nLizzy wrapped her paw around Alex’s stiff penis, slathering it with the slippery goop. Then she pumped her paw up and down a few times, looking up at Alex’s face to see if it felt good. She did this for Father sometimes herself, and he really liked it. Sometimes until he squirted, other times only for a bit before she put his stick in her flower.\n\n“See?” she asked after pumping it a few times. “Just move your paw up and down. Try holding it loose or tight to see what feels best. I wanna watch you do it while I lick your flower, kay?”\n\n“Umm, okay...”\n\nAlex cautiously poured some out on her own paw, careful not to use too much like Lizzy had, wrinkling her nose at the stink of chemicals. Then she reached down and wrapped her paw around her penis, slowly pumping it up and down like Lizzy was doing. After watching for a bit, Lizzy wiped her paw on the towel under them and lay back down on her tummy, once again resting Alex’s fuzzy balls on her nose as she pushed her nose up against Alex’s girl-bits, this time not just with David’s semen on her tongue, but a tiny bit of Alex’s as well.\n\nLizzy pushed her hands under her head as she went back to licking Lexi’s flower, this time enjoying the view as her friend slowly masturbated only a few inches in front of her eyes. It was obvious that Lexi hadn’t done anything like this before. The first few strokes, Lexi lost her grip, but after a few moments Lexi seemed to figure it out. Seeing Lexi’s penis disappear within her fist was kind of like watching Father’s stick going in and out of Mother’s flower. She smiled and continued to lick contentedly at Lexi’s flower while watching.\n\nA couple of minutes passed, the only noise in the room being the squishing sounds of Lizzy’s licking and Alex’s masturbation, heavy breathing, and the faint sound of the shower in the master bathroom. Lizzy was enjoying the saltwater-chai taste of Alex’s girl-juice, and exploring every nook and cranny within her flower. There wasn’t that much to explore, really, since she could feel Alex’s hymen only an inch or so back from her entrance. She thought she could feel a few tiny holes in it if she pressed against it a bit. Still, she knew it would hurt if she broke it, so she didn’t press too hard. Instead, she relaxed and leisurely tongued her friend’s tasty girl-parts, watching as Lexi’s paw moved up and down.\n\n“Lizzy?” Alex asked.\n\nThe quiet question broke the calm trance Lizzy had almost fallen into. “Hmm?”\n\n“I think... I’m close,” the young tiger said.\n\nLizzy grinned to herself. She knew exactly what to do. She brought one paw up under her chin and used her thumb to rub circles around Lexi’s flower while she gripped Lexi’s button with her front teeth again and began rubbing her tongue across it.\n\nAlex felt shocks running through her system once again. Her penis twitched with every stroke of Lizzy’s tongue and she almost forgot to move her hand up and down. One strong shock caused her hips to buck upwards, driving her penis through her fist. It felt like her entire body was being electrocuted.\n\nLizzy pulled her head back slightly as Lexi’s hips jerked upwards, pulling the tiger’s button right out from Lizzy’s grip. She realized immediately what was happening as Lexi’s balls suddenly pulled up tight. Lexi’s flower was spasming, her hips jerking, even her tail was twitching like a snake. [i]Orgasm.[/i]\n\nA thin string of white semen squirted from the tip of Alex’s penis. Lizzy watched it fly in a high arc, nearly touching the ceiling before falling back down, landing on the pillows next to Alex’s head. The second squirt landed on Alex’s face. Several more landed on Alex’s chest, mixing with the lube that Lizzy had spilled. Alex’s hips continued to jerk for several more long seconds, her penis dribbling leftover semen with every twitch.\n\nLizzy leaned forward to lick the sticky treat up off Alex’s tip, then just as quickly spit it out. The astringent, chemical flavor of the silicon lube made her gag. “Yuck!” she yelled, grabbing a towel to wipe her mouth. “Gross. This lube tastes terrible!” the tiny stoat said, jumping off the bed and running for the bathroom.\n\nAlex’s head tilted sideways to watch as Lizzy hopped off the bed. She closed her eyes for a moment, dazed and utterly exhausted from the earth-shattering dual climax she’d just experienced. For the first time since she’d broken her leg, she managed to fall asleep without the aid of the pills on her bathroom counter, drifting off before the various sticky messes on her had even begun to cool.\n\n[center]__________________________________________________[/center]\n\nHikari looked up from the post-it note in his hand. The house number was definitely the one Raenne had written down, and his map app hadn’t let him down before. So why did he feel like this was the wrong address? Sure, it didn’t stand out that much from the other multi-level houses around it, but the tall brick wall around the entire property and the fact that it had sliding security gates at both ends of the semi-circular driveway gave the impression that it was just a bit more expensive. That, and the fact that the house stood on two lots instead of one.\n\nThe japanese macaque sighed, pocketed the post-it and eased off the clutch, pulling his small Honda Rebel around until he was next to the keypad and speaker on a pole a few feet from the gates. He pressed the button marked ‘buzzer’ and heard a soft chime from the speaker. After a few moments, a soft, feminine voice that he didn’t recognize came from the speaker.\n\n“Who is it?”\n\n“This is Hikari Arakaki,” the monkey said. “Mrs. Andreyev told me that this is where Charlotte Schneider lives.”\n\n“It is. We were expecting you,” the soft voice said. “Hold on a moment while I open the gate.”\n\nThere was a faint humming noise, then with a slight rattle the gate slid open. When he was sure it was wide enough for him to slip past, he drove the old motorcycle past the gate and up the curved driveway, parking it in front of the steps that led up to the front porch. He was thankful he’d decided to wear his beige cargo pants and white tee-shirt instead of jeans and a hoodie. He was getting the feeling that wearing the latter might have gotten him shot by armed security guards hiding in the bushes.\n\nHe was just taking off his helmet when the front door opened, and a pair of weasels, the exact species he could only guess at, stepped out. Mr. and Mrs. Stouffer, from what Sensei Raenne had said. The female, Julia if he remembered right, was wearing a summer dress, and the male was wearing slacks and a polo shirt. He set his helmet down on the motorcycle seat and took his gloves off as he stepped around the bike. Given the kind of place they owned, he figured a bit of formality was in order. \n\n“Hello. I’m Hikari Arakaki,” he said as he walked up to them, holding a hand out. “I presume you’re Mr. and Mrs. Stouffer?”\n\n“Yes,” the man said, clasping his hand firmly. “I’m Terrence, and this is my wife Julia.”\n\n“Pleased to meet you, sir,” he said, “and ma’am,” he continued, giving a softer handshake and a slight bow to Julia.\n\n“Charlotte’s up in her room, resting,” Julia said. “Though I’m sure she heard the buzzer and knows you’re here. Terrence will show you up to her room. Would you care to join us for lunch?”\n\n“If it’s not too much trouble, I’d be happy to,” Hikari said, not being one to pass up a free meal, especially considering how tight money was around his own house.\n\n“Excellent,” she said, turning around and stepping back into the house. “I was going to make some BLT sandwiches. Do you happen to have any dietary preferences or food allergies I should be aware of?”\n\n“Um, no ma’am... That sounds delicious. Thank you,” he said, following both of them inside. The front foyer was incredible, and went all the way to the roof, occupied mostly by a massive Victorian style staircase with a landing every five feet or so. There was even a small stand next to the foot of the stairs with brass and mahogany telephone, complete with a rotary dial on the front which looked like it should have been in a museum. To his left he could see some kind of library room with expensive victorian era furniture. To the right, there was clearly a lounge, with similar furniture, though with overstuffed leather on the seating instead of satin fabric. A huge flatscreen television hung on one wall, surrounded by a picture frame that matched the rest of the decor.\n\nNow that he looked at it, the style wasn’t really Victorian. It was more of a fusion of Victorian and sleek modern, kind of like the house itself now that he thought about it. Now that he was paying attention, the telephone didn’t actually have a rotary dial; just deeply inset buttons arranged in a circle. Julia left through a doorway on the far side of the foyer, under the stair-well’s first landing, while he followed Terrence up the staircase. The second floor started with a hallway that extended both left and right. They went left, down a short hallway with three doors. The second door on the left was open, and Terrence knocked on the door frame.\n\n“Charlotte? Hikari is here to see you. Julia’s fixing lunch; it should be ready in about ten minutes. Do you want us to bring your meals up here, or join us in the dining room?”\n\nHikari couldn’t make out the muffled response, but Terrence nodded. “Okay, we’ll see you downstairs then,” he said. Terrence stepped close to him, quietly saying “She’s rather out of it right now, and in a lot of pain.”\n\n“I understand, sir,” Hikari replied.\n\n“Good.” Terrence nodded, then walked back down the hallway toward the stairs.\n\nHikari stepped up and looked into the room. It was surprisingly ordinary, with a small computer desk and laptop, bed, and dresser. The only thing out of the ordinary were the two full-size bookcases overflowing with manga novels, anime dvds, and figurines. His canine classmate was laying on her bed wearing a white blouse and a knee-length periwinkle skirt. If not for the neck-brace and the swollen muzzle, she’d have been beautiful.\n\n“Hello, Charlotte,” he said as he stepped up next to the bed.\n\n“Hi Hikari. Shorry i’ I don’t get up. My head ish really hurting,” she said, trying to avoid certain sounds, since they caused her chipped front teeth and muzzle to ache. Her missing cuspids didn’t help with her pronunciation either.\n\n“Don’t be sorry. It’s not your fault,” he said, trying to reassure her. “If it’s anyone’s, it’s that other kid’s fault, the one who punched you from behind.”\n\n“I shouldn’t ha’ ‘ade fun o’ him,” she whispered, having remembered snippets of the conversation; enough to realize that she’d provoked Diego.\n\n“That doesn’t matter. An insult is no excuse for attacking someone under any circumstances. Anyway, I just wanted to see if you were okay, and see if you still wanted any help with any translations,” he said looking at the bookshelves packed with anime. “You’ve got a ton of manga and anime. You must really like it.”\n\n“Yeah... i’ ‘y head didn’t hurt, I’d be watching sho’ right now,” she said.\n\n“Mind if I look at your collection?” he asked, pointing at the bookshelves opposite the base of her bed. “There’s a few that I don’t recognize. Looks like you’ve got a few light novels as well.”\n\n“I don’ care. You can borrow... too i’ you wan’,” she said, slurring her words slightly.\n\nHikari stepped over to the bookshelves, feeling terrible that his classmate was suffering. Unfortunately, he didn’t know of any way to help her feel better. He hated feeling helpless, and made a mental note to break the other kid’s nose next time he saw him. If he hadn’t already broken something, that was. “Who was that other kid, by the way? The vice principal suspended me for kicking him, but he never mentioned the other kid’s name.”\n\n“Uhh... Diego Ortega. He wansh to date me, but I keep... I keep telling him no. He shmokesh weed,” she said rambling, “and I think shmoking ish bad. Drugsh too. I think he livesh in the neighborhood. I sheen him riding around in a Cadillac Eshcalade.”\n\nHmm... That wasn’t good. If Diego was willing to punch a girl from behind just for refusing to go out, he wouldn’t put it past the kid to try running either of them over, especially if he’d put the kid in the hospital with that kick like the rumors were saying. He’d have to let the Stouffer’s know, and maybe the police... after he checked out the huge pile of manga in front of him.\n\nHikari recognized dozens of the anime and manga titles as ones that had become popular here in the States: Akira, Angelic Layer, Armitage, Azumanga Daioh, Baccano, Black Lagoon, Chobits, Cowboy Bebop, Coyote Ragtime Show, Daily Lives of High School Boys, Death Note, Dot Hack, Ergo Proxy, FLCL, Fruits Basket... Quite a diverse collection, and that was just the top shelf. He was kind of surprised not to see some of the larger series like Dragonball or Bleach sitting on the shelves. He was also surprised that the collection wasn’t nearly as girly as he’d expected. Angelic Layer was girly, but seeing Akira and Armitage right next to it more than made up for that.\n\nFurther down the bookshelves were the manga collections, most of which he recognized. He knelt down and ran one finger across the shelf reading the titles. He was surprised to see several light novels mixed in with them: Haruhi Suzumiya, The Akiba Labyrinth, No Game No Life, The Devil is a Part-Timer... Most of them seemed to be comedy.\n\nHe heard cloth rustle on cloth and glanced behind himself. Charlotte had propped one knee up, and he caught a glimpse of her white panties beneath her skirt, between her black and tan furred thighs. He quickly looked back at the bookshelf, blushing. “Have you read all of these manga and light novels?” he asked, more to distract himself than anything.\n\n“Shome. Not the light novels. I wash going to read... when I got better at Japanese,” she whispered.\n\n“Huh. I haven’t read any of these light novels yet. They should be funny...” he broke off hearing a voice from downstairs. “Sounds like lunch is ready.”\n\nHe stood up and looked over... Charlotte was slowly sitting up and swinging her legs off the bed. After a moment, she stood up.\n\n“Do you need any help?” he asked.\n\n“No... I’ll jush take the elevator down,” she said.\n\nHikari raised an eyebrow at that. “Elevator?”\n\n“Yeah. Ish like an eshcalator, only without any shtepsh,” She said as she slowly walked out of the room, keeping one hand on the wall as she walked towards the stairs, then right past them towards the other hallway. Hikari followed cautiously, wondering if she was hallucinating... Mr. Stouffer had said she’d be out of it, and she certainly sounded like it.\n\n“Elishabet wash really shick, sho dey got an elevator put in sho dat she didn’ ha’ to go up and down da... uh... dat thing,” she said, pointing at the stairs as they went past them. Then she stopped at the first door just past the stairs and pressed a small button next to it that he hadn’t seen. Surprisingly, he heard a ding from downstairs and a mechanical noise from behind the door.\n\nAfter a few moments, the door slid sideways, showing a tiny room with a metal gate in front of it, no larger than four feet to each side. The gate slid sideways and Charlotte stepped in. He followed, somewhat shocked to find that they actually did have an elevator inside their house, and that it matched the modern victorian style. He wondered just how much it cost to have an elevator installed in a house. She pressed a button on the panel inside and the gate and door slid closed. The panel showed three floors, plus a basement. He shook his head. This house must have cost several million to build.\n\nThe lift came to a halt on the first floor, and once against the door slid open followed by the crisscrossed metal gate. He quickly put his hand on Charlotte’s shoulder to steady her as she wobbled a bit stepping out of the elevator, then followed as she walked through the foyer and under the first landing into a dining room where the two weasels were waiting for them at a large table. It was fairly obvious which spot was his; apparently Charlotte was on a liquid diet thanks to her busted nose.\n\nHe pulled out her chair for her, waiting for her to take a seat, then pushed her chair in. Apparently lunch was an informal affair; the Stouffers were already eating their sandwiches. \n\nHe was rather surprised at just how much bacon there was on the sandwich. Definitely not a meal for herbivores. It was delicious though. So was the glass of sweet tea that was next to it. He was so focused on his sandwich that he almost missed what Terrence said.\n\n“-so we’ve decided that it’s only fair that we offer you legal counsel if you need it. It just doesn’t seem right that the school should suspend you for defending a fellow student who was unconscious.”\n\nHikari swallowed the chunk of sandwich he was chewing on.“Umm... Legal council, sir?”\n\n“Well, yes. I presume you wouldn’t want to be forced to miss the last week of class, what with final exams and such being held during the last week. Since the school administration doesn’t seem likely to back down, my wife and I have decided to offer you the services of the lawyer we have on retainer, free of charge. It’s amazing what the threat of a lawsuit can do to help people see the error of their ways.”\n\nLawsuit? Hikari felt his mouth drop open. They wanted to start a lawsuit on his behalf over a stupid school suspension? I mean, he didn’t think the suspension was fair, but was it worth a lawsuit?\n\nThinking about it for a moment, it was obvious that the school was being unreasonable. The officer he’d talked to yesterday evening, Officer Hoffman or whatever, had said what he’d done was definitely legal under Oregon law, if a bit excessive. He’d said that they had video footage showing the other kid trying to kick Charlotte when Hikari had come flying across the mess hall, saying something about ‘defense of a person’. It had helped that he’d stopped to see if Charlotte was okay before he’d kicked Diego a second time, since that made it a clear case of self-defense in the second kick that had laid Diego out cold.\n\n“Well, a police officer talked to me last night. He was saying that it was a pretty clear case of self-defense,” the young man explained, “and I certainly don’t think that it’s right that a school should suspend someone just for defending themselves or someone else.”\n\n“Good, then it’s settled. I’ll call Richard, our lawyer, and tell him you’re okay with it. Richard, Charlotte, you and I will head over to the school at seven-thirty on Monday morning with papers in hand and see if they don’t see reason...”\n\nHikari blinked as Terrence began to explain a convoluted legal strategy to force the school to change its policy regarding fighting in self-defense, retract his suspension, and possibly pay for their college funds for various hardships they were causing him and Charlotte. Additionally, he learned that they were pressing criminal charges against Diego Ortega for aggravated battery as well as civil charges for pain and suffering.\n\nHe glanced over at Charlotte, who was sipping from a straw and had her head cocked sideways. She was listening to Terrence with a determined expression, one ear up. What in the world had he gotten himself into?\n\n[center]__________________________________________________[/center]\n\nLizzy sighed as she sat down at Alex’s sleek black computer desk, once again wearing clothes. It had taken her like ten minutes to clean the sleeping tiger’s fur and stuff, seeing as she didn’t want to wake Lexi up. Worse, it seemed like no matter how many times she washed her mouth, the foul taste of that silicon lube wouldn’t go away. No wonder Mrs. Andreyev had told them it tasted bad.\n\nAs she sat in front of the big black LCD, she wondered if she would be able to figure out how to use Lexi’s PC, seeing as she used a Mac at home. After a few moments she found a button on it that caused it to beep and start making whirring noises. The screen turned on and she waited a few moments. The sound of the shower in Lexi’s parent’s room was still going, and she wondered if Mr. Andreyev just took really long showers or if he was cleaning the tub or something.\n\nOnce the computer screen changed, she sort of recognized it. It looked kind of like the computers that they had in class, the ones used for teaching them to type and play math games. There was an icon of a penguin on the desktop with the word Starbound under it, and she wondered what it was. She clicked it.\n\nIt was probably ten minutes later when her little bird character died, falling into a dark pit while she was trying to escape some weird six-legged lizard thing. She muttered angrily under her breath, then wondered if she could get the same game on her Mac before turning around to check on Lexi. \n\nThe tiger-cub was still sleeping, naked beneath the towel she’d tossed over her to keep her warm. She also heard the shower still running. It had to be getting cold by now, and she was starting to worry. Was Mr. Andreyev okay? She turned off the computer and stood up, walking across the short upstairs hallway and put her ear against the closed bedroom door.\n\nThe sound of running water was louder, and she could hear muffled noises. Crying maybe? She couldn’t tell. She raised her hand to knock, but stopped. After turning around and closing Lexi’s door so as not to wake her up, then she raised her hand and knocked on the door. “Mr. Andreyev?”\n\nShe waited a moment and knocked again, asking “Mr. Andreyev, are you okay?” After a couple more seconds, she tried the door handle. It was locked. She put her ear to the door again, listening. She didn’t hear the crying anymore. She did hear a faint thump though, and listened. A moment later she heard it again. Slightly panicked, she looked around, then ran downstairs to the kitchen looking for Mrs. Andreyev. It was empty, and she suddenly remembered that Mrs. Andreyev was at some kind of karate thing. She spent a few moments looking around for a phone before realizing that she’d literally never used a phone at the Andreyev’s house. They just used their smartphones... and Alex’s was sitting on the computer desk.\n\nRunning back upstairs, she opened Alex’s room and stepped in, going straight to the computer desk. She picked up the smartphone and tapped the button. Locked, and asking for a password. But Lexi never used a password. She thought for a moment. Did it use a fingerprint sensor? She knew some of the phones had those. Picking it up, she walked over to Lexi and picked up her paw. The sleeping feline didn’t respond, and she pressed Lexi’s finger to the button. The screen shook, asking to try again, and she sighed in frustration, trying another finger and a thumb. Finally the damn thing unlocked, and she quickly pressed the phone button at the bottom.\n\nIt took her a moment, but she finally found Mrs. Andreyev listed under ‘Mom’, and pressed the call button. Smart phones were so stupid sometimes. After a few moments, Mrs. Andreyev picked up, saying “What’s up kiddo?”\n\n“Mrs. Andreyev? It’s Elizabeth. Lexi’s asleep, and Mr. Andreyev has been in his shower an awful long time, and I think he’s crying, and the door’s locked, and I don’t know what to do...”\n\n“Calm down Lizzy, and hold on. I’ve gotta go outside, it’s too loud in the gym here.” Another few moments passed, and the noise on the other end died down. “Okay, Lizzy. Sorry ‘bout that. Now what were you saying?”\n\n“Mr. Andreyev went to take a shower a long time ago, and the shower’s still running, and I think he’s crying. He’s not responding when I knock on the door, and the doors locked, and Lexi’s sleeping, and I don’t know what to do!”\n\n[center]__________________________________________________[/center]\n\nRaenne stepped out of the gymnasium where the tournament was being held over in Tigard, holding the phone to her ear. The tourney was going well, so far. One of her students was in the final elimination round, and she had a feeling that the young woman was going to come in second or third place. It was quieter out here, and she asked Lizzy to repeat herself.\n\nAs Lizzy began to ramble on about a shower and crying and that Alex was sleeping, her eyes narrowed. This wasn’t normal. Not at all. She told Lizzy to calm down and hold on; she’d be there in ten minutes. Then she cut the call and walked back inside, walking over to where the parents of her dojo’s students were sitting. She briefly explained that there was an emergency at home, apologizing that she was going to have to leave. Feeling miserable that she was going to miss Marilyn’s elimination match, she ran back outside and hopped into her SUV, flooring it out of the Tigard High parking lot and onto Durham road.\n\nShe drove down Durham road, past Bridgeport, and then onto the freeway, going well over the posted speed limits. It was one exit to reach Tualatin, then she was speeding past the hospital. She heard a police siren start up as she went past the park, and gunned it into the suburbs where she lived, taking the twisty turns at over twice the speed limit and keeping a sharp eye out for children. As she pulled into the cul-de-sac, she let out a sigh that David had parked on the right side, and hit the garage door opener, pulling in when it was barely above roof level and hitting the garage door opener again before she’d finished parking.\n\nHopping out of the SUV, she ducked under the garage door as it was coming down and walked over to the front door, unlocking it and stepping inside. Lizzy was hopping down the stairs, babbling that the shower was still running.\n\n“Hush, Lizzy, it’s okay. I’m here now,” she said, patting the tiny stoat on the head as she jogged up the stairs. The master bedroom door was indeed locked, and she pulled a multitool out of her pocket, picking a narrow flat-head tool and stuck it into the hole in the doorknob. With a click, the door unlocked. She turned around to Lizzy. “Stay out here, okay?”\n\nLizzy nodded, and the tigress opened the door a foot and slipped in, closing it behind her. She had no idea what she’d find and she didn’t want to traumatize the cute little girl. The door to the bathroom was closed, and there were clothes on the floor next to it. The shower was louder in here, but she couldn’t hear anything other than that. Bracing herself, she gripped the bathroom doorknob and turned. The door opened, hinges creaking. It was cold and humid, water dripping down the mirror, even beading on the walls, clearly he’d not turned the vent on, so she did. The rug was sopping wet and the shower curtain half drawn. David was huddled on the bottom of the shower, not even moving.\n\nShe swore and reached down, turning off the shower, feeling a chill run up her spine. He was soaked and ice cold to the touch and she couldn’t find his pulse. Using one claw, she made a shallow cut on his forearm above his wrist where the fur was thinnest. Blood started flowing, just enough to let her know that he wasn’t dead and hadn’t bled out. She checked for his pulse again, waiting longer this time. It was slow as hell and weak, but there. She sighed in relief, then grabbed him and pulled. God damn he was heavy. He also wasn’t shivering. That was bad.\n\nShe took a moment to strip her own clothes so as not to get them soaked and set them on the counter, then dragged him out of the tub and shoved him into the fur dryer. It took some effort, but eventually she got him into a standing position and she hit the button to start it. She stood there, sweltering as the heating elements turned the air inside hotter and hotter. It felt like she was back in the middle east, on foot patrol at high noon.\n\nAfter several minutes, he’d finally dried off, so she shut off the dryer and looked him over. No visible bleeding, pupil dilation normal, heart rate still slow and weak. A stroke or heart attack was possible but very unlikely with his age and fitness level. Right now the only thing she could guess at was that he’d slipped and fallen and knocked himself unconscious, then lay in the freezing water. She gently felt his skull, but didn’t find any soft spots. It didn’t seem like he’d broken his skull and his pupil dilation didn’t indicate a concussion. What didn’t add up was that Lizzy had said she heard crying. If he’d broken something other than his head he should have been able to call for help or crawl out of the tub.\n\nThe water temperature couldn’t be lower than fifty degrees fahrenheit, so he’d probably just have mild hypothermia. Nothing too serious; he’d just feel like utter shit for a few days. She sighed and stood, swearing and hoping he’d just slipped and hit his head. What the fuck was wrong with people this past week? Alex had busted her leg, Julia had a heart attack, Charlotte had been assaulted, and now her husband had God-only-knows-what wrong with him. She turned the dryer back on, sighing, and went to the door and cracked it open. Lizzy was sitting just outside.\n\n“Lizzy, were you upstairs here the entire time he was in the shower?” the tigress asked.\n\n“Uh-huh,” the little stoat said, nodding.\n\n“Were you doing anything loud at all?” she asked.\n\n“No. When he went to take a shower, Lexi and I were doing sexy stuff, and she’s really quiet when we’re doing that. Then she fell asleep, so I cleaned her up a bit and turned on her computer and played some video games, but kept the volume down so I wouldn’t wake her.”\n\n“Umm... so you did clean up after doing sexy stuff. You made sure you used condoms and everything?” Raenne clarified.\n\n“Uh-huh. Mr. Andreyev brought us condoms and towels and everything.”\n\n“Oh. Good. If David had fallen, would you have heard it? Did you hear anything like a loud thump?” she asked.\n\n“I think so... I didn’t hear any loud thumps, but I did hear two quiet ones. That was just before I called you.”\n\nRaenne narrowed her eyes. That hadn’t helped at all; she had even more questions now than when she’d started. “Um... Close your eyes please. I need to wake Alex up and ask her if she heard anything, and I’m not dressed.”\n\n“Uh... Okay,” the little stoat said, shutting her eyes.\n\nRaenne stepped out and quickly went down the hallway, opening Alex’s door and stepping inside. Alex was lying on the bed under a towel, her broken leg propped up on a pile of pillows. A small heap of towels was stuffed in the hamper next to the closet, and lube and condoms were sitting on the nightstand. Two different colors of condoms. She frowned, then sat on the edge of the bed and bent over Alex, rubbing the bridge of her broad nose and forehead with one hand and covering her breasts with the other. After a few moments, Alex’s eyes cracked open, nictitating membranes sliding to the side.\n\n“Alex, I’m sorry to wake you up, but I need to ask you a question,” she said.\n\nAlex blinked a few times, then her eyes went wide realizing that Mom was naked. Mom never left the master bedroom unless she had clothes on. \n\n“Uhh... what?” Alex asked blearily.\n\n“Your father went to take a shower. Do you remember when he did?”\n\n“Uh... Yeah.”\n\n“After he got into the shower, did you hear any loud noises, like as if he’d fallen in the tub?”\n\n“No. He slammed the door when he went to take a shower, but after that it was quiet except for the shower and the... um... noises that me and Lizzy were making. Then Lizzy got some lube in her mouth and went to spit it out. I think I fell asleep after that.”\n\n“So neither you or Lizzy heard anything,” she confirmed. “What happened before he went into the bathroom to take a shower?”\n\n“Well, he slammed the door...” Alex said, stifling a yawn.\n\n“[i]Why[/i] did he slam the door?” she asked.\n\n“I dunno,” the younger tiger shrugged. “He said he didn’t have time to play with us cause he had stuff to do before you got home, and he ran out of my room and slammed the door.”\n\nRaenne’s eyes narrowed, and she glanced at the condoms on the nightstand.\n\nAlex glanced at the nightstand as well, then saw what her mom was looking at. Suddenly she remembered what they’d talked about, trying to convince Dad to play with them:\n\n‘...It’s illegal...’\n‘...So if we don’t tell anyone about it, it’s fine...’\n‘...I won’t tell anyone...’\n\nAs she realized that her mom had just figured out that Dad had done sexy stuff with them, she was suddenly terrified; her fur fluffed up like she’d been electrocuted. Her mom’s next words confirmed it.\n\n“So, you and Lizzy were doing sexy stuff. David brought in some supplies, [i]including[/i] his own condoms. Then he said that he couldn’t [i]play[/i] with you anymore, ran out of your room, slammed the door, and got into the shower.”\n\n“Mrs. Andreyev?” came a quiet voice from the door. Elizabeth was standing at the doorway, covering her eyes with both paws.\n\nWhy did life have to be so [i]damned[/i] difficult, the tigress thought to herself.\n\n“Yes, Lizzy, you can come in,” she said with a sigh. “Just please don’t look at me. Adults aren’t supposed to be naked in front of children.”\n\n“I see Mother and Father naked all the time though. Being naked isn’t bad, unless it’s in public, right?” the little stoat reasoned.\n\nRaenne frowned, then shrugged. “I guess I can’t argue with that. What did you want?”\n\nThe stoat let her paws fall to her sides, looking at Alex’s mom. “I... um... I couldn’t help but overhear what you were talking about,” the stoat said, before her head drooped, looking down at the carpet. “Yes, that’s what happened.”\n\nRaenne sighed for the third time in as many minutes. “Lizzy, I already know that’s not all there is to it. Alex looks like she jammed her finger in a light socket, and you’re staring at the floor. More importantly, my husband is sitting in the bathroom, practically frozen and isn’t moving. You said there weren’t any loud noises, so he didn’t fall in the shower, and you said he was crying.”\n\nShe took a deep breath, and continued to puzzle things out. “Now, I’m guessing that you two asked him if he would ‘play’ with you while you two were having sex,” she said, throwing up finger quotes. “Considering that he brought his own condoms in here,” she said, nodding at the larger box, “I’m guessing you succeeded in convincing him to play with you. Knowing my husband, I’m guessing that something triggered his sense of guilt, so he ran out, slammed the door, and had a nervous breakdown in the shower.”\n\nBoth the cubs were staring at her now as if she were psychic or could read minds. She wasn’t done yet though. “Only one thing would cause him to have a breakdown that bad, and it’s if he’d actually done something with you two that deeply violated his moral code.” She took a deep breath, shaking with the implications, and said it: “He had sex with you two.”\n\nBoth the cubs immediately denied it, yelling “No!”\n\n“Stop,” she said, holding up both paws. “I know that he did something with you. He may not have had vaginal sex with either of you, but he did something.” She turned to Alex. “Alex, I’ve told you before, I will never punish you for telling the truth. However, I will damn well punish you for lying. Tell me the truth, or I’m going to take Lizzy home and you will be grounded until summer vacation is over. Three months.”\n\nBoth of the cubs gaped at her, shocked that she would make such a threat. Three months was [i]forever[/i]. They glanced at each other, then back to her. Alex gulped, then quietly said “Okay...”\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "WARNING: This story may contain content of an adult nature.

Chapter 18 – Darker Secrets, Continued.

Saturday, May 30th, 2015

Alex’s face dropped as her father quickly left the room, then she jumped when the master bedroom door slammed shut, pulling her hand out from between her legs where she’d been rubbing her flower. The little tigress turned to look over at her best friend Lizzy, who was kneeling next to her on the towel-covered bed.

“What was that all about?” the tiny stoat asked, clearly confused.

“I dunno,” Alex replied with a shrug. She was rather sad that she wasn’t going to get to do any sexy stuff with her father. Maybe later she could ask him about it, she thought, after he’d finished doing whatever it was he needed to do.

“So what do we do now?”

“Mmm...” Alex squirmed a bit, uncomfortable with asking her best friend to do sexy stuff to her. Still, it felt really, really good. “Well, I was hoping daddy would lick my flower, but since he’s got stuff to do... oof!”

Alex fell backwards onto her pillows as Lizzy pushed against her fluffy white chest fur, then spread her legs as the stoat pushed against the inside of her thighs. Lizzy scooted back near the foot of the bed and lay down with her face directly between Alex’s thighs.

“Lift your knees up a bit, sexy kitty.”

“I... umm... okay. Can you stack a few of those pillows there under my cast?”

Lizzy didn’t even answer, pushing herself back up and quickly stacking several pillows to one side before flopping back down on her tummy. Even before Alex had gotten comfortable, she twitched as Lizzy’s cold nose poked under her boy bits and pressed up against the top of her flower. Neither of them realized they were breaking one of the five rules.

“Ack! That’s cold!”

“Hush, it’ll warm up quickly. Especially with this to keep me warm.” Lizzy said as she used one paw to gently lift Alex’s fuzzy balls and draped them over the top of her nose. Then she tucked both paws underneath her chin and stuck her tongue out, running it around the outside of Lexi’s flower. She could taste the salty, sweet, spicy scent of Lexi’s girl-juice, and pressed the tip of her tongue further in.

Alex gasped, feeling Lizzy’s smooth, warm tongue touch her girl-bits, then sighed in pleasure. It felt so much better than using her own paw. Feeling Lizzy’s tongue twirl around just inside her, then running up the tiny creases to each side and around her button was absolutely amazing.

Alex lay back, enjoying the feeling, feeling slightly guilty that she wasn’t doing anything for Lizzy at the same time. Her penis had gone soft while she’d been licking father’s, but it gradually began poking back out of her sheath again as Lizzy continued to alternate between licking in and around Alex’s flower and swirling her tongue around that sensitive nub at the top.

Lizzy was totally content to simply lay there and lick her best friend’s flower. Lexi had always been there for her when she was sad, and she thought it was only fair to help Lexi feel better. Lexi’s broken leg had to hurt, and she was guessing that this was helping to take her mind off it. As she lay there licking, she watched Lexi’s penis slowly stiffen, then she remembered something Father had shown her to do to Mother.

Alex jerked; Lizzy bit her! No... wait... she was using her teeth to hold her button while flicking her tongue over it. With each stroke, Alex felt her whole body twitch, like tiny sparks of electricity were shooting from her button to deep within her tummy and out through her belly button and the tip of her penis.

“Stop! Stop... too much,” Alex gasped out.

Lizzy quickly let go, pulling her nose out from under Lexi’s balls. She’d been able to feel Lexi’s entire body jerk with every lick when she’d done that, and her sexy kitty herm-friend’s boy-bits were twitching like they were about to squirt. She was actually kind of sad to stop; she wanted to see if she could make Lexi’s penis squirt by licking her flower.

“Are you okay?” the little stoat asked.

“Uh... yeah... just don’t do that thing with your teeth for more than a few seconds. That was... just... wow. It was too good.”

Lizzy grinned, then took hold of Lexi’s penis, licking the drop of pre off the tip. Then she got an idea. “Lexi? While Mother and I are doing sexy stuff, sometimes Father likes to just watch, and he puts some lube on his paw and wraps it around his penis and moves it up and down.”

“I was kind of touching my penis when we were rubbing our flowers together... I didn’t think about lube though.”

“Here, let me show you what Father does. Hand me that bottle of lube,” she said pointing to it with her other hand while she licked another drop of pre off the tip of Lexi’s boy-bits.

Alex reached over and grabbed the bottle off her nightstand and handed it to Lizzy. Lizzy popped the top open and tilted it over one hand. Lube squirted out, covering her hand and leaving a trail of slimy liquid across Alex’s tummy.

“Oops! Too much. Oh well,” Elizabeth said, handing the bottle back.

Lizzy wrapped her paw around Alex’s stiff penis, slathering it with the slippery goop. Then she pumped her paw up and down a few times, looking up at Alex’s face to see if it felt good. She did this for Father sometimes herself, and he really liked it. Sometimes until he squirted, other times only for a bit before she put his stick in her flower.

“See?” she asked after pumping it a few times. “Just move your paw up and down. Try holding it loose or tight to see what feels best. I wanna watch you do it while I lick your flower, kay?”

“Umm, okay...”

Alex cautiously poured some out on her own paw, careful not to use too much like Lizzy had, wrinkling her nose at the stink of chemicals. Then she reached down and wrapped her paw around her penis, slowly pumping it up and down like Lizzy was doing. After watching for a bit, Lizzy wiped her paw on the towel under them and lay back down on her tummy, once again resting Alex’s fuzzy balls on her nose as she pushed her nose up against Alex’s girl-bits, this time not just with David’s semen on her tongue, but a tiny bit of Alex’s as well.

Lizzy pushed her hands under her head as she went back to licking Lexi’s flower, this time enjoying the view as her friend slowly masturbated only a few inches in front of her eyes. It was obvious that Lexi hadn’t done anything like this before. The first few strokes, Lexi lost her grip, but after a few moments Lexi seemed to figure it out. Seeing Lexi’s penis disappear within her fist was kind of like watching Father’s stick going in and out of Mother’s flower. She smiled and continued to lick contentedly at Lexi’s flower while watching.

A couple of minutes passed, the only noise in the room being the squishing sounds of Lizzy’s licking and Alex’s masturbation, heavy breathing, and the faint sound of the shower in the master bathroom. Lizzy was enjoying the saltwater-chai taste of Alex’s girl-juice, and exploring every nook and cranny within her flower. There wasn’t that much to explore, really, since she could feel Alex’s hymen only an inch or so back from her entrance. She thought she could feel a few tiny holes in it if she pressed against it a bit. Still, she knew it would hurt if she broke it, so she didn’t press too hard. Instead, she relaxed and leisurely tongued her friend’s tasty girl-parts, watching as Lexi’s paw moved up and down.

“Lizzy?” Alex asked.

The quiet question broke the calm trance Lizzy had almost fallen into. “Hmm?”

“I think... I’m close,” the young tiger said.

Lizzy grinned to herself. She knew exactly what to do. She brought one paw up under her chin and used her thumb to rub circles around Lexi’s flower while she gripped Lexi’s button with her front teeth again and began rubbing her tongue across it.

Alex felt shocks running through her system once again. Her penis twitched with every stroke of Lizzy’s tongue and she almost forgot to move her hand up and down. One strong shock caused her hips to buck upwards, driving her penis through her fist. It felt like her entire body was being electrocuted.

Lizzy pulled her head back slightly as Lexi’s hips jerked upwards, pulling the tiger’s button right out from Lizzy’s grip. She realized immediately what was happening as Lexi’s balls suddenly pulled up tight. Lexi’s flower was spasming, her hips jerking, even her tail was twitching like a snake. Orgasm.

A thin string of white semen squirted from the tip of Alex’s penis. Lizzy watched it fly in a high arc, nearly touching the ceiling before falling back down, landing on the pillows next to Alex’s head. The second squirt landed on Alex’s face. Several more landed on Alex’s chest, mixing with the lube that Lizzy had spilled. Alex’s hips continued to jerk for several more long seconds, her penis dribbling leftover semen with every twitch.

Lizzy leaned forward to lick the sticky treat up off Alex’s tip, then just as quickly spit it out. The astringent, chemical flavor of the silicon lube made her gag. “Yuck!” she yelled, grabbing a towel to wipe her mouth. “Gross. This lube tastes terrible!” the tiny stoat said, jumping off the bed and running for the bathroom.

Alex’s head tilted sideways to watch as Lizzy hopped off the bed. She closed her eyes for a moment, dazed and utterly exhausted from the earth-shattering dual climax she’d just experienced. For the first time since she’d broken her leg, she managed to fall asleep without the aid of the pills on her bathroom counter, drifting off before the various sticky messes on her had even begun to cool.

__________________________________________________


Hikari looked up from the post-it note in his hand. The house number was definitely the one Raenne had written down, and his map app hadn’t let him down before. So why did he feel like this was the wrong address? Sure, it didn’t stand out that much from the other multi-level houses around it, but the tall brick wall around the entire property and the fact that it had sliding security gates at both ends of the semi-circular driveway gave the impression that it was just a bit more expensive. That, and the fact that the house stood on two lots instead of one.

The japanese macaque sighed, pocketed the post-it and eased off the clutch, pulling his small Honda Rebel around until he was next to the keypad and speaker on a pole a few feet from the gates. He pressed the button marked ‘buzzer’ and heard a soft chime from the speaker. After a few moments, a soft, feminine voice that he didn’t recognize came from the speaker.

“Who is it?”

“This is Hikari Arakaki,” the monkey said. “Mrs. Andreyev told me that this is where Charlotte Schneider lives.”

“It is. We were expecting you,” the soft voice said. “Hold on a moment while I open the gate.”

There was a faint humming noise, then with a slight rattle the gate slid open. When he was sure it was wide enough for him to slip past, he drove the old motorcycle past the gate and up the curved driveway, parking it in front of the steps that led up to the front porch. He was thankful he’d decided to wear his beige cargo pants and white tee-shirt instead of jeans and a hoodie. He was getting the feeling that wearing the latter might have gotten him shot by armed security guards hiding in the bushes.

He was just taking off his helmet when the front door opened, and a pair of weasels, the exact species he could only guess at, stepped out. Mr. and Mrs. Stouffer, from what Sensei Raenne had said. The female, Julia if he remembered right, was wearing a summer dress, and the male was wearing slacks and a polo shirt. He set his helmet down on the motorcycle seat and took his gloves off as he stepped around the bike. Given the kind of place they owned, he figured a bit of formality was in order.

“Hello. I’m Hikari Arakaki,” he said as he walked up to them, holding a hand out. “I presume you’re Mr. and Mrs. Stouffer?”

“Yes,” the man said, clasping his hand firmly. “I’m Terrence, and this is my wife Julia.”

“Pleased to meet you, sir,” he said, “and ma’am,” he continued, giving a softer handshake and a slight bow to Julia.

“Charlotte’s up in her room, resting,” Julia said. “Though I’m sure she heard the buzzer and knows you’re here. Terrence will show you up to her room. Would you care to join us for lunch?”

“If it’s not too much trouble, I’d be happy to,” Hikari said, not being one to pass up a free meal, especially considering how tight money was around his own house.

“Excellent,” she said, turning around and stepping back into the house. “I was going to make some BLT sandwiches. Do you happen to have any dietary preferences or food allergies I should be aware of?”

“Um, no ma’am... That sounds delicious. Thank you,” he said, following both of them inside. The front foyer was incredible, and went all the way to the roof, occupied mostly by a massive Victorian style staircase with a landing every five feet or so. There was even a small stand next to the foot of the stairs with brass and mahogany telephone, complete with a rotary dial on the front which looked like it should have been in a museum. To his left he could see some kind of library room with expensive victorian era furniture. To the right, there was clearly a lounge, with similar furniture, though with overstuffed leather on the seating instead of satin fabric. A huge flatscreen television hung on one wall, surrounded by a picture frame that matched the rest of the decor.

Now that he looked at it, the style wasn’t really Victorian. It was more of a fusion of Victorian and sleek modern, kind of like the house itself now that he thought about it. Now that he was paying attention, the telephone didn’t actually have a rotary dial; just deeply inset buttons arranged in a circle. Julia left through a doorway on the far side of the foyer, under the stair-well’s first landing, while he followed Terrence up the staircase. The second floor started with a hallway that extended both left and right. They went left, down a short hallway with three doors. The second door on the left was open, and Terrence knocked on the door frame.

“Charlotte? Hikari is here to see you. Julia’s fixing lunch; it should be ready in about ten minutes. Do you want us to bring your meals up here, or join us in the dining room?”

Hikari couldn’t make out the muffled response, but Terrence nodded. “Okay, we’ll see you downstairs then,” he said. Terrence stepped close to him, quietly saying “She’s rather out of it right now, and in a lot of pain.”

“I understand, sir,” Hikari replied.

“Good.” Terrence nodded, then walked back down the hallway toward the stairs.

Hikari stepped up and looked into the room. It was surprisingly ordinary, with a small computer desk and laptop, bed, and dresser. The only thing out of the ordinary were the two full-size bookcases overflowing with manga novels, anime dvds, and figurines. His canine classmate was laying on her bed wearing a white blouse and a knee-length periwinkle skirt. If not for the neck-brace and the swollen muzzle, she’d have been beautiful.

“Hello, Charlotte,” he said as he stepped up next to the bed.

“Hi Hikari. Shorry i’ I don’t get up. My head ish really hurting,” she said, trying to avoid certain sounds, since they caused her chipped front teeth and muzzle to ache. Her missing cuspids didn’t help with her pronunciation either.

“Don’t be sorry. It’s not your fault,” he said, trying to reassure her. “If it’s anyone’s, it’s that other kid’s fault, the one who punched you from behind.”

“I shouldn’t ha’ ‘ade fun o’ him,” she whispered, having remembered snippets of the conversation; enough to realize that she’d provoked Diego.

“That doesn’t matter. An insult is no excuse for attacking someone under any circumstances. Anyway, I just wanted to see if you were okay, and see if you still wanted any help with any translations,” he said looking at the bookshelves packed with anime. “You’ve got a ton of manga and anime. You must really like it.”

“Yeah... i’ ‘y head didn’t hurt, I’d be watching sho’ right now,” she said.

“Mind if I look at your collection?” he asked, pointing at the bookshelves opposite the base of her bed. “There’s a few that I don’t recognize. Looks like you’ve got a few light novels as well.”

“I don’ care. You can borrow... too i’ you wan’,” she said, slurring her words slightly.

Hikari stepped over to the bookshelves, feeling terrible that his classmate was suffering. Unfortunately, he didn’t know of any way to help her feel better. He hated feeling helpless, and made a mental note to break the other kid’s nose next time he saw him. If he hadn’t already broken something, that was. “Who was that other kid, by the way? The vice principal suspended me for kicking him, but he never mentioned the other kid’s name.”

“Uhh... Diego Ortega. He wansh to date me, but I keep... I keep telling him no. He shmokesh weed,” she said rambling, “and I think shmoking ish bad. Drugsh too. I think he livesh in the neighborhood. I sheen him riding around in a Cadillac Eshcalade.”

Hmm... That wasn’t good. If Diego was willing to punch a girl from behind just for refusing to go out, he wouldn’t put it past the kid to try running either of them over, especially if he’d put the kid in the hospital with that kick like the rumors were saying. He’d have to let the Stouffer’s know, and maybe the police... after he checked out the huge pile of manga in front of him.

Hikari recognized dozens of the anime and manga titles as ones that had become popular here in the States: Akira, Angelic Layer, Armitage, Azumanga Daioh, Baccano, Black Lagoon, Chobits, Cowboy Bebop, Coyote Ragtime Show, Daily Lives of High School Boys, Death Note, Dot Hack, Ergo Proxy, FLCL, Fruits Basket... Quite a diverse collection, and that was just the top shelf. He was kind of surprised not to see some of the larger series like Dragonball or Bleach sitting on the shelves. He was also surprised that the collection wasn’t nearly as girly as he’d expected. Angelic Layer was girly, but seeing Akira and Armitage right next to it more than made up for that.

Further down the bookshelves were the manga collections, most of which he recognized. He knelt down and ran one finger across the shelf reading the titles. He was surprised to see several light novels mixed in with them: Haruhi Suzumiya, The Akiba Labyrinth, No Game No Life, The Devil is a Part-Timer... Most of them seemed to be comedy.

He heard cloth rustle on cloth and glanced behind himself. Charlotte had propped one knee up, and he caught a glimpse of her white panties beneath her skirt, between her black and tan furred thighs. He quickly looked back at the bookshelf, blushing. “Have you read all of these manga and light novels?” he asked, more to distract himself than anything.

“Shome. Not the light novels. I wash going to read... when I got better at Japanese,” she whispered.

“Huh. I haven’t read any of these light novels yet. They should be funny...” he broke off hearing a voice from downstairs. “Sounds like lunch is ready.”

He stood up and looked over... Charlotte was slowly sitting up and swinging her legs off the bed. After a moment, she stood up.

“Do you need any help?” he asked.

“No... I’ll jush take the elevator down,” she said.

Hikari raised an eyebrow at that. “Elevator?”

“Yeah. Ish like an eshcalator, only without any shtepsh,” She said as she slowly walked out of the room, keeping one hand on the wall as she walked towards the stairs, then right past them towards the other hallway. Hikari followed cautiously, wondering if she was hallucinating... Mr. Stouffer had said she’d be out of it, and she certainly sounded like it.

“Elishabet wash really shick, sho dey got an elevator put in sho dat she didn’ ha’ to go up and down da... uh... dat thing,” she said, pointing at the stairs as they went past them. Then she stopped at the first door just past the stairs and pressed a small button next to it that he hadn’t seen. Surprisingly, he heard a ding from downstairs and a mechanical noise from behind the door.

After a few moments, the door slid sideways, showing a tiny room with a metal gate in front of it, no larger than four feet to each side. The gate slid sideways and Charlotte stepped in. He followed, somewhat shocked to find that they actually did have an elevator inside their house, and that it matched the modern victorian style. He wondered just how much it cost to have an elevator installed in a house. She pressed a button on the panel inside and the gate and door slid closed. The panel showed three floors, plus a basement. He shook his head. This house must have cost several million to build.

The lift came to a halt on the first floor, and once against the door slid open followed by the crisscrossed metal gate. He quickly put his hand on Charlotte’s shoulder to steady her as she wobbled a bit stepping out of the elevator, then followed as she walked through the foyer and under the first landing into a dining room where the two weasels were waiting for them at a large table. It was fairly obvious which spot was his; apparently Charlotte was on a liquid diet thanks to her busted nose.

He pulled out her chair for her, waiting for her to take a seat, then pushed her chair in. Apparently lunch was an informal affair; the Stouffers were already eating their sandwiches.

He was rather surprised at just how much bacon there was on the sandwich. Definitely not a meal for herbivores. It was delicious though. So was the glass of sweet tea that was next to it. He was so focused on his sandwich that he almost missed what Terrence said.

“-so we’ve decided that it’s only fair that we offer you legal counsel if you need it. It just doesn’t seem right that the school should suspend you for defending a fellow student who was unconscious.”

Hikari swallowed the chunk of sandwich he was chewing on.“Umm... Legal council, sir?”

“Well, yes. I presume you wouldn’t want to be forced to miss the last week of class, what with final exams and such being held during the last week. Since the school administration doesn’t seem likely to back down, my wife and I have decided to offer you the services of the lawyer we have on retainer, free of charge. It’s amazing what the threat of a lawsuit can do to help people see the error of their ways.”

Lawsuit? Hikari felt his mouth drop open. They wanted to start a lawsuit on his behalf over a stupid school suspension? I mean, he didn’t think the suspension was fair, but was it worth a lawsuit?

Thinking about it for a moment, it was obvious that the school was being unreasonable. The officer he’d talked to yesterday evening, Officer Hoffman or whatever, had said what he’d done was definitely legal under Oregon law, if a bit excessive. He’d said that they had video footage showing the other kid trying to kick Charlotte when Hikari had come flying across the mess hall, saying something about ‘defense of a person’. It had helped that he’d stopped to see if Charlotte was okay before he’d kicked Diego a second time, since that made it a clear case of self-defense in the second kick that had laid Diego out cold.

“Well, a police officer talked to me last night. He was saying that it was a pretty clear case of self-defense,” the young man explained, “and I certainly don’t think that it’s right that a school should suspend someone just for defending themselves or someone else.”

“Good, then it’s settled. I’ll call Richard, our lawyer, and tell him you’re okay with it. Richard, Charlotte, you and I will head over to the school at seven-thirty on Monday morning with papers in hand and see if they don’t see reason...”

Hikari blinked as Terrence began to explain a convoluted legal strategy to force the school to change its policy regarding fighting in self-defense, retract his suspension, and possibly pay for their college funds for various hardships they were causing him and Charlotte. Additionally, he learned that they were pressing criminal charges against Diego Ortega for aggravated battery as well as civil charges for pain and suffering.

He glanced over at Charlotte, who was sipping from a straw and had her head cocked sideways. She was listening to Terrence with a determined expression, one ear up. What in the world had he gotten himself into?

__________________________________________________


Lizzy sighed as she sat down at Alex’s sleek black computer desk, once again wearing clothes. It had taken her like ten minutes to clean the sleeping tiger’s fur and stuff, seeing as she didn’t want to wake Lexi up. Worse, it seemed like no matter how many times she washed her mouth, the foul taste of that silicon lube wouldn’t go away. No wonder Mrs. Andreyev had told them it tasted bad.

As she sat in front of the big black LCD, she wondered if she would be able to figure out how to use Lexi’s PC, seeing as she used a Mac at home. After a few moments she found a button on it that caused it to beep and start making whirring noises. The screen turned on and she waited a few moments. The sound of the shower in Lexi’s parent’s room was still going, and she wondered if Mr. Andreyev just took really long showers or if he was cleaning the tub or something.

Once the computer screen changed, she sort of recognized it. It looked kind of like the computers that they had in class, the ones used for teaching them to type and play math games. There was an icon of a penguin on the desktop with the word Starbound under it, and she wondered what it was. She clicked it.

It was probably ten minutes later when her little bird character died, falling into a dark pit while she was trying to escape some weird six-legged lizard thing. She muttered angrily under her breath, then wondered if she could get the same game on her Mac before turning around to check on Lexi.

The tiger-cub was still sleeping, naked beneath the towel she’d tossed over her to keep her warm. She also heard the shower still running. It had to be getting cold by now, and she was starting to worry. Was Mr. Andreyev okay? She turned off the computer and stood up, walking across the short upstairs hallway and put her ear against the closed bedroom door.

The sound of running water was louder, and she could hear muffled noises. Crying maybe? She couldn’t tell. She raised her hand to knock, but stopped. After turning around and closing Lexi’s door so as not to wake her up, then she raised her hand and knocked on the door. “Mr. Andreyev?”

She waited a moment and knocked again, asking “Mr. Andreyev, are you okay?” After a couple more seconds, she tried the door handle. It was locked. She put her ear to the door again, listening. She didn’t hear the crying anymore. She did hear a faint thump though, and listened. A moment later she heard it again. Slightly panicked, she looked around, then ran downstairs to the kitchen looking for Mrs. Andreyev. It was empty, and she suddenly remembered that Mrs. Andreyev was at some kind of karate thing. She spent a few moments looking around for a phone before realizing that she’d literally never used a phone at the Andreyev’s house. They just used their smartphones... and Alex’s was sitting on the computer desk.

Running back upstairs, she opened Alex’s room and stepped in, going straight to the computer desk. She picked up the smartphone and tapped the button. Locked, and asking for a password. But Lexi never used a password. She thought for a moment. Did it use a fingerprint sensor? She knew some of the phones had those. Picking it up, she walked over to Lexi and picked up her paw. The sleeping feline didn’t respond, and she pressed Lexi’s finger to the button. The screen shook, asking to try again, and she sighed in frustration, trying another finger and a thumb. Finally the damn thing unlocked, and she quickly pressed the phone button at the bottom.

It took her a moment, but she finally found Mrs. Andreyev listed under ‘Mom’, and pressed the call button. Smart phones were so stupid sometimes. After a few moments, Mrs. Andreyev picked up, saying “What’s up kiddo?”

“Mrs. Andreyev? It’s Elizabeth. Lexi’s asleep, and Mr. Andreyev has been in his shower an awful long time, and I think he’s crying, and the door’s locked, and I don’t know what to do...”

“Calm down Lizzy, and hold on. I’ve gotta go outside, it’s too loud in the gym here.” Another few moments passed, and the noise on the other end died down. “Okay, Lizzy. Sorry ‘bout that. Now what were you saying?”

“Mr. Andreyev went to take a shower a long time ago, and the shower’s still running, and I think he’s crying. He’s not responding when I knock on the door, and the doors locked, and Lexi’s sleeping, and I don’t know what to do!”

__________________________________________________


Raenne stepped out of the gymnasium where the tournament was being held over in Tigard, holding the phone to her ear. The tourney was going well, so far. One of her students was in the final elimination round, and she had a feeling that the young woman was going to come in second or third place. It was quieter out here, and she asked Lizzy to repeat herself.

As Lizzy began to ramble on about a shower and crying and that Alex was sleeping, her eyes narrowed. This wasn’t normal. Not at all. She told Lizzy to calm down and hold on; she’d be there in ten minutes. Then she cut the call and walked back inside, walking over to where the parents of her dojo’s students were sitting. She briefly explained that there was an emergency at home, apologizing that she was going to have to leave. Feeling miserable that she was going to miss Marilyn’s elimination match, she ran back outside and hopped into her SUV, flooring it out of the Tigard High parking lot and onto Durham road.

She drove down Durham road, past Bridgeport, and then onto the freeway, going well over the posted speed limits. It was one exit to reach Tualatin, then she was speeding past the hospital. She heard a police siren start up as she went past the park, and gunned it into the suburbs where she lived, taking the twisty turns at over twice the speed limit and keeping a sharp eye out for children. As she pulled into the cul-de-sac, she let out a sigh that David had parked on the right side, and hit the garage door opener, pulling in when it was barely above roof level and hitting the garage door opener again before she’d finished parking.

Hopping out of the SUV, she ducked under the garage door as it was coming down and walked over to the front door, unlocking it and stepping inside. Lizzy was hopping down the stairs, babbling that the shower was still running.

“Hush, Lizzy, it’s okay. I’m here now,” she said, patting the tiny stoat on the head as she jogged up the stairs. The master bedroom door was indeed locked, and she pulled a multitool out of her pocket, picking a narrow flat-head tool and stuck it into the hole in the doorknob. With a click, the door unlocked. She turned around to Lizzy. “Stay out here, okay?”

Lizzy nodded, and the tigress opened the door a foot and slipped in, closing it behind her. She had no idea what she’d find and she didn’t want to traumatize the cute little girl. The door to the bathroom was closed, and there were clothes on the floor next to it. The shower was louder in here, but she couldn’t hear anything other than that. Bracing herself, she gripped the bathroom doorknob and turned. The door opened, hinges creaking. It was cold and humid, water dripping down the mirror, even beading on the walls, clearly he’d not turned the vent on, so she did. The rug was sopping wet and the shower curtain half drawn. David was huddled on the bottom of the shower, not even moving.

She swore and reached down, turning off the shower, feeling a chill run up her spine. He was soaked and ice cold to the touch and she couldn’t find his pulse. Using one claw, she made a shallow cut on his forearm above his wrist where the fur was thinnest. Blood started flowing, just enough to let her know that he wasn’t dead and hadn’t bled out. She checked for his pulse again, waiting longer this time. It was slow as hell and weak, but there. She sighed in relief, then grabbed him and pulled. God damn he was heavy. He also wasn’t shivering. That was bad.

She took a moment to strip her own clothes so as not to get them soaked and set them on the counter, then dragged him out of the tub and shoved him into the fur dryer. It took some effort, but eventually she got him into a standing position and she hit the button to start it. She stood there, sweltering as the heating elements turned the air inside hotter and hotter. It felt like she was back in the middle east, on foot patrol at high noon.

After several minutes, he’d finally dried off, so she shut off the dryer and looked him over. No visible bleeding, pupil dilation normal, heart rate still slow and weak. A stroke or heart attack was possible but very unlikely with his age and fitness level. Right now the only thing she could guess at was that he’d slipped and fallen and knocked himself unconscious, then lay in the freezing water. She gently felt his skull, but didn’t find any soft spots. It didn’t seem like he’d broken his skull and his pupil dilation didn’t indicate a concussion. What didn’t add up was that Lizzy had said she heard crying. If he’d broken something other than his head he should have been able to call for help or crawl out of the tub.

The water temperature couldn’t be lower than fifty degrees fahrenheit, so he’d probably just have mild hypothermia. Nothing too serious; he’d just feel like utter shit for a few days. She sighed and stood, swearing and hoping he’d just slipped and hit his head. What the fuck was wrong with people this past week? Alex had busted her leg, Julia had a heart attack, Charlotte had been assaulted, and now her husband had God-only-knows-what wrong with him. She turned the dryer back on, sighing, and went to the door and cracked it open. Lizzy was sitting just outside.

“Lizzy, were you upstairs here the entire time he was in the shower?” the tigress asked.

“Uh-huh,” the little stoat said, nodding.

“Were you doing anything loud at all?” she asked.

“No. When he went to take a shower, Lexi and I were doing sexy stuff, and she’s really quiet when we’re doing that. Then she fell asleep, so I cleaned her up a bit and turned on her computer and played some video games, but kept the volume down so I wouldn’t wake her.”

“Umm... so you did clean up after doing sexy stuff. You made sure you used condoms and everything?” Raenne clarified.

“Uh-huh. Mr. Andreyev brought us condoms and towels and everything.”

“Oh. Good. If David had fallen, would you have heard it? Did you hear anything like a loud thump?” she asked.

“I think so... I didn’t hear any loud thumps, but I did hear two quiet ones. That was just before I called you.”

Raenne narrowed her eyes. That hadn’t helped at all; she had even more questions now than when she’d started. “Um... Close your eyes please. I need to wake Alex up and ask her if she heard anything, and I’m not dressed.”

“Uh... Okay,” the little stoat said, shutting her eyes.

Raenne stepped out and quickly went down the hallway, opening Alex’s door and stepping inside. Alex was lying on the bed under a towel, her broken leg propped up on a pile of pillows. A small heap of towels was stuffed in the hamper next to the closet, and lube and condoms were sitting on the nightstand. Two different colors of condoms. She frowned, then sat on the edge of the bed and bent over Alex, rubbing the bridge of her broad nose and forehead with one hand and covering her breasts with the other. After a few moments, Alex’s eyes cracked open, nictitating membranes sliding to the side.

“Alex, I’m sorry to wake you up, but I need to ask you a question,” she said.

Alex blinked a few times, then her eyes went wide realizing that Mom was naked. Mom never left the master bedroom unless she had clothes on.

“Uhh... what?” Alex asked blearily.

“Your father went to take a shower. Do you remember when he did?”

“Uh... Yeah.”

“After he got into the shower, did you hear any loud noises, like as if he’d fallen in the tub?”

“No. He slammed the door when he went to take a shower, but after that it was quiet except for the shower and the... um... noises that me and Lizzy were making. Then Lizzy got some lube in her mouth and went to spit it out. I think I fell asleep after that.”

“So neither you or Lizzy heard anything,” she confirmed. “What happened before he went into the bathroom to take a shower?”

“Well, he slammed the door...” Alex said, stifling a yawn.

“Why did he slam the door?” she asked.

“I dunno,” the younger tiger shrugged. “He said he didn’t have time to play with us cause he had stuff to do before you got home, and he ran out of my room and slammed the door.”

Raenne’s eyes narrowed, and she glanced at the condoms on the nightstand.

Alex glanced at the nightstand as well, then saw what her mom was looking at. Suddenly she remembered what they’d talked about, trying to convince Dad to play with them:

‘...It’s illegal...’
‘...So if we don’t tell anyone about it, it’s fine...’
‘...I won’t tell anyone...’

As she realized that her mom had just figured out that Dad had done sexy stuff with them, she was suddenly terrified; her fur fluffed up like she’d been electrocuted. Her mom’s next words confirmed it.

“So, you and Lizzy were doing sexy stuff. David brought in some supplies, including his own condoms. Then he said that he couldn’t play with you anymore, ran out of your room, slammed the door, and got into the shower.”

“Mrs. Andreyev?” came a quiet voice from the door. Elizabeth was standing at the doorway, covering her eyes with both paws.

Why did life have to be so damned difficult, the tigress thought to herself.

“Yes, Lizzy, you can come in,” she said with a sigh. “Just please don’t look at me. Adults aren’t supposed to be naked in front of children.”

“I see Mother and Father naked all the time though. Being naked isn’t bad, unless it’s in public, right?” the little stoat reasoned.

Raenne frowned, then shrugged. “I guess I can’t argue with that. What did you want?”

The stoat let her paws fall to her sides, looking at Alex’s mom. “I... um... I couldn’t help but overhear what you were talking about,” the stoat said, before her head drooped, looking down at the carpet. “Yes, that’s what happened.”

Raenne sighed for the third time in as many minutes. “Lizzy, I already know that’s not all there is to it. Alex looks like she jammed her finger in a light socket, and you’re staring at the floor. More importantly, my husband is sitting in the bathroom, practically frozen and isn’t moving. You said there weren’t any loud noises, so he didn’t fall in the shower, and you said he was crying.”

She took a deep breath, and continued to puzzle things out. “Now, I’m guessing that you two asked him if he would ‘play’ with you while you two were having sex,” she said, throwing up finger quotes. “Considering that he brought his own condoms in here,” she said, nodding at the larger box, “I’m guessing you succeeded in convincing him to play with you. Knowing my husband, I’m guessing that something triggered his sense of guilt, so he ran out, slammed the door, and had a nervous breakdown in the shower.”

Both the cubs were staring at her now as if she were psychic or could read minds. She wasn’t done yet though. “Only one thing would cause him to have a breakdown that bad, and it’s if he’d actually done something with you two that deeply violated his moral code.” She took a deep breath, shaking with the implications, and said it: “He had sex with you two.”

Both the cubs immediately denied it, yelling “No!”

“Stop,” she said, holding up both paws. “I know that he did something with you. He may not have had vaginal sex with either of you, but he did something.” She turned to Alex. “Alex, I’ve told you before, I will never punish you for telling the truth. However, I will damn well punish you for lying. Tell me the truth, or I’m going to take Lizzy home and you will be grounded until summer vacation is over. Three months.”

Both of the cubs gaped at her, shocked that she would make such a threat. Three months was forever. They glanced at each other, then back to her. Alex gulped, then quietly said “Okay...”
