Let me know what keywords I missed. Thanks!", "writing": "Friday November 1, 2030 \n\n\t“Onai, come to the living room please,” Fang said over the intercom system. After he finished speaking Fang walked back over to a chair and sat down. A few minutes passed when Onai walked in and saw his dad, mom and two other furs also sitting.\n\t“Yes dad?” Onai asked with a sigh.\n\t“Onai, this is Ms. Porter, she works with CPS,” Vapor said.\n\t“Hello,” he replied, “am I in trouble for something?”\n\t“Sit down please,” Fang replied. Onai rolled his eyes but obeyed.\n\t“It’s nice to meet you Onai, as your mom said I’m Ms. Porter and work for CPS. This here is Hiroko,” she said.\n\t“Uh, hello Hiroko,” he said. She looked up at him and very faintly smiled without saying a word.\n\t“She’s a bit shy, but she warms up to others fairly fast,” she replied.\n\t“Okay. Why am I here? I have stuff I’m working on,” he said.\n\t“Manners Onai,” Fang said.\n\t“Sure dad,” he replied.\n\t“Hiroko’s parents were mugged. They didn’t make it. She’s been told but she hasn’t fully grasped everything yet, she’s still shook up quite badly. We’ve been working on it over the past couple of weeks. She just turned 5 years old, twenty-four days ago. Her parents moved over here and immigrated here when she was just barely two years old, they were, are, full USF citizens. We’ve tried contacting the Japanese Social Services but since they moved to the USF and renounced their Japanese citizenship, the Japanese government have no legal say in what happens to Hiroko, nor do they care. Anyway, since I’ve worked with your grandmother and Copen’s Orphanage, I asked your parents if they would be willing to take care of her, instead of her going into the system. However, your parents think it would be better for Hiroko and you if you were to care for her,” Ms. Porter explained.\n\t“What? No. No way in hell. No, I’m not. I have too much to do and I’m too young to care for a cub,” he said jumping up from the couch.\n\t“Sit down Onai. You have no choice,” Fang said.\n\t“No. I do have a choice and I’m saying no,” he said and started walking away.\n\t“Military school then,” Fang spoke up. Onai stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the floor for a moment in silence. He sighed and dropped his shoulders. He turned around and sat back down on the couch.\n\t“Fine,” he said.\n\t“I’m sure you’ll do well Onai. Your parents spoke very highly of you,” Ms. Porter said.\n\t“I don’t know how to care for a cub though,” he replied.\n\t“That’s not true Onai. You cared for your sisters multiple times, along with Skyler and all of Laika’s cubs. You know how to care for a cub,” Fang said.\n\t“If you mean fu…, screwing up you know what I mean,” he replied.\n\t“Onai, you’ll do well with her. I know you can take care of her. It won’t be any more difficult than caring for yourself,” Vapor said.\n\t“Maybe,” he replied.\n\t“Onai, you best listen to this really carefully and understand. If anything happens to her, you will be the one that faces the consequences. Do you understand?” Fang warned.\n\t“Yes dad,” he replied with a deep and heavy exhale.\n\n\tHe looked over at the young, short, Japanese fox. Hiroko has green eyes, black head hair, and mostly white fur, with only a few exceptions. Her tail is brown with a black tip, and below each eye, she has a pair of black and brown stripes. She was sitting in the chair next to the CPS agent. Her paws sat in her lap. Her lower legs was below her butt, sitting on them. Her eyes was bouncing between all of the adults then stopped on Onai after she saw him staring at her. He gave a slight smile. She smiled then shyly looked down at her legs. He walked up to her and squatted down in front of the chair.\n\t“I guess I’m your uh, dad? Now. I guess,” he said.\n\t“Just her caretaker,” Ms. Porter replied.\n\t“Okay,” he replied.\n\t“What room is she staying in?” Onai asked.\n\t“Your room. She’s new to the house and might be scared and intimated by the size of everything,” Fang said.\n\t“I have to sleep with a 5 year old girl that I don’t even know?” Onai scowled.\n\t“Yes you do. There’s nothing wrong with it,” Vapor replied.\n\t“Whatever,” he replied then looked back at the girl, “I guess I’ll show you where my … our room is,” he said with an unamused tone.\n\t“Okay,” she replied quietly. He stood up and started walking off. Hiroko quickly slid off the chair and rushed up behind him.\n\t“Onai, behave yourself with her,” Fang said.\n\t“Yeah, I fuc… freaking know,” he replied.\n\t“Hiroko, don’t forget this,” Ms. Porter said picking up a stuffed giraffe plushy. The young, little fox girl stopped and ran back up to the Ms. Porter and took the giraffe in her arms and hugged it.\n\t“You be a good girl okay? The Wolfe family is an amazing family and love everything. They’ll take really good care of you,” Ms. Porter said then smiled warmly. Hiroko smiled and hugged her back.\n\t“Thank you for helping me,” she said.\n\t“I’m sorry about your mom and dad Hiroko,” she replied.\n\t“I never see them again will I?” She asked.\n\t“Like we’ve talked about before, no, you won’t,” she replied. Hiroko nodded and inhaled deeply before exhaling, trying not to cry, trying to be strong. Ms. Porter wiped away a few tears and smiled at her. Hiroko hugged her for nearly a full minute.\n\t“Where’s her clothes at?” Onai asked.\n\t“She only had a few sets. They were only going to be in Orion City for a few days, her parents were going to a job interview. You’ll have to buy her new clothes yourself,” Ms. Porter explained.\n\t“Great. Less money for what I want or need,” he said, glaring at a wall, under his breath, but loud enough for everyone to hear him.\n\t“We were going to increase your allowance again,” Fang replied.\n\t“How much?” Onai asked turning around.\n\t“An additional fifty dollars,” Fang replied.\n\t“That’s not enough for anything though,” he replied.\n\t“Then go get a job. You can get hired on at McAnimals, Burrito Bell, Sonic and other fast food places. You’ll work Friday nights and weekends, along with juggling your home-schooling, homework and community service,” Fang suggested.\n\t“Fine, fifty extra dollars will be good,” he replied sighing.\n\t“Good, now go show Hiroko your room. We’ll talk with you later,” Vapor said. Onai nodded and headed to the stairs while Hiroko tried to keep up with his fast walking and longer pawsteps.\n\n\t“Are you sure he’s going to care for her properly? He doesn’t seem too happy about this,” Ms. Porter asked.\n\t“We’re sure. He doesn’t want to end up in Juvi or military school. But, we’ll make sure she’s safe, healthy and happy and we’ll make sure he takes proper care of her. He’s also a bit tired and grumpy from yesterday. He was out on the side of the highway cleaning up trash. Halfway through the day he slipped and fell into a torn open trash bag of rotten food,” Fang replied.\n\t“Okay. I just don’t want to see her hurt anymore. She’s the sweetest girl that I’ve ever met. Cheerful and happy, even though her parents were killed in front of her. Her dad grabbed her and fell over top of her to protect and save her life,” Ms. Porter said.\n\t“That really is sad,” Fang replied.\n\t“Indeed. Okay, I need to head back. I still have another kitten to take care of today. Call me if anything changes or happens,” Ms. Porter said standing up.\n\t“We will. We’ll get her on our medical, dental and health insurance tomorrow or first thing Monday,” Vapor said.\n\t“Good. Thank you again for helping Hiroko. I’m sure she’ll like it here,” she replied.\n\t“No problem. She does seem like a good girl,” Fang replied.\n\n\tOnai opened his bedroom door and stepped inside. Hiroko walked in and stopped, blocking the door, and started looked around.\n\t“Go further in,” he said. She looked up at him then walked in a few more feet. Onai shut the door then got on his bed and stared up at the ceiling in boredom again. Hiroko quietly walked around the large bedroom for a few minutes, eventually she walked up to the bed and looked at Onai.\n\t“What?” He asked.\n\t“I have to potty,” she said.\n\t“It’s through that door,” he said pointing at the open door. She smiled then rushed off. After nearly five minutes without her returning Onai got up and walked into the bathroom. Hiroko was standing on the top step to the bathtub/hot tub, looking down into the empty basin. He walked up to her and stood next to her.\n\t“You know what this is?” He asked\n\t“No,” she replied quietly, shaking her head.\n\t“It’s a bathtub but also a hot tub. It has these jets that spray water out,” he explained.\n\t“Oh okay,” she replied.\n\t“You shouldn’t go near it though,” he said harshly. He took her paw and walked her back into the bedroom. He let go of her paw then laid back down on the bed. She sat on the floor and silently looked around. The bedroom was mostly clean. Some clothes littered the floor near the bathroom door and near the bed. Magazines and comics were tossed on the floor near the desk. At the foot of the bed sat a large chest that extended the full width of the bed. On top of the chest was folded linen, bed sheets, pillow cases and a blanket underneath the rest. There weren’t many electronics in the room, save for the 85-inch TV but it wasn’t turned on. On the nightstand, next to her new caretaker, was a few clear glass cups, all had some type of clear fluid, she guessed water.\n\n\tA couple of hours later Hiroko sat up from the floor and stretched after falling asleep. She looked around and didn’t see Onai anywhere. She jumped up and ran into the bathroom, he wasn’t there either. Her eyes widened and her breathing became labored, scared breathing. She held her paws together against her chest. The room was mostly dark, just a little bit of light coming from a door that lead to the outside. She looked at the door that they came in earlier. She ran to it, her breathing was heavy, tears welled in her eyes. She struggled to get the door open but finally managed. She rushed out into the hallway. It was bright but still, she saw no one. She quickly ran to the stairs and ran down them, her pawsteps barely making any sounds. She stopped at the bottom and finally heard voices coming from the living room. She rushed in still breathing heavy, her eyes were still wide open and showing fear. She saw Onai sitting in a chair. She ran and jumped into his lap, startling him. He jumped out of the chair, sending her to the hardwood floor.\n\t“What the hell is wrong with you?” Onai asked harshly a few seconds later.\n\t“Onai! Don’t speak to her like that and in such a tone,” Willow snapped at him.\n\t“I scared. You not in bedroom,” she said through her sobs.\n\t“You were sleeping,” he replied.\n\t“It was dark,” she replied.\n\t“Onai, you didn’t leave a light on for her?” Vapor asked.\n\t“No, she was sleeping. Last time I checked, we usually sleep in the dark,” he replied with a glare.\n\t“Onai. She’s in a new house and around furs she doesn’t know,” Vapor replied walking over to the two. She leaned down and picked up the crying fox up from the floor and cradled her against her own body. Onai stood up and pulled Hiroko into his arms.\n\t“Don’t take her like that. You put me in charge of watching her, for whatever stupid fucking reason. I don’t need your help nor does she,” Onai scowled.\n\t“Do not talk to me like that Onai,” Vapor replied.\n\t“Then don’t treat me like a fucking pup,” he scowled.\n\t“Stop,” Hiroko said quietly, her words were overpowered by Vapor and Onai’s.\n\t“Then stop acting like one,” she scowled back. Fang, Willow, Elli and a couple of others sat quietly watching the two of them argue.\n\t“I would if you’d stop treating me like one. All of this is your fault,” he scowled.\n\t“No Onai, it’s all your fault. Your choice to steal the car. Your choice to drive it on the roads-” she said being cut off by Onai.\n\t“Stop,” Hiroko said again, still too quiet for anyone to hear.\n\t“I made a fucking mistake. Everyone does. You’re biggest mistake, was having Luna and me so early,” Onai scowled.\n\t“Don’t even go there Onai. I love you both and wouldn’t change anything,” Vapor replied\n\t“Well I would, I’d stop you if I could. I wish I was never born!” Onai scowled.\n\t“Stop,” Hiroko said quietly as the two argued, her tiny voice was once again overpowered by the two. Thirty seconds passed while she laid in Onai’s arms.\n\t“Don’t just force something like this on to me. It’s stupid,” Onai said pointing at Hiroko.\n\t“It’s not stupid Onai. She’s an orphan kit and needs help,” Vapor replied.\n\t“It is stupid. Stupid to have a 15 year old care for a cub that isn’t family,” he replied.\n\t“STOP!” Hiroko screamed, forty seconds after the two started arguing. They both looked down at her in Onai’s arms. She struggled to get loose until Onai sat her down. She looked up at him and kicked him in his shin, hard.\n\t“I was scared in dark. You left me. You’re being mean. You’re not nice,” she said then slowly walked away, her tail tucked between her legs and up to her stomach. She walked over to the sitting room and disappeared behind the round aquarium.\n\t“We made her mad,” Onai said, with guilt in his tone.\n\t“Yeah, you did. Go console her Onai. But don’t leave her alone in the dark, turn a light on for her,” Vapor replied.\n\t“Whatever,” Onai replied walking away, “bitch,” he said underneath his breath.\n\n\tFour hours later Onai lead Hiroko back into his bedroom and shut the door. It was now dark outside. The room was much darker than it was before. She moved against Onai and held onto his waist, causing him to nearly fall to the floor.\n\t“Get off of me. It’s only darkness, nothing can hurt you,” he said pushing her off of his leg then walked away, leaving her near the door. He stood at his bed and stripped down to his underwear then got in bed.\n\t“Where do I sleep?” She asked.\n\t“On the floor, the chair, shower, bed. Wherever you want to.” he replied grumpily. She looked around for a moment then ran to the bed. After almost twenty seconds of her struggling to climb on the bed Onai exhaled turned over and lifted her up.\n\t“Just don’t sleep against me,” he said.\n\t“Night night Onai,” she said then closed her eyes.\n\n***\n\nWednesday November 6, 2030 \n\n\tFive days have passed since Hiroko arrived. She woke up from the night, it was morning. She slid off the bed, used the restroom then sat down on the floor and waited for Onai to wake up. A while later, bored, she walked up to the tall doors leading out onto the balcony. She jiggled the door handle to try to open them, but they were locked with the door handle locks and she couldn’t unlock it due to no key being in the handle to unlock the doors. She wanted to look outside so she pulled the curtains back just enough to look out the door window. She smiled wide upon seeing the deck balcony, the road, a house and then a huge open field behind the house. She pulled the curtain to the side to get a better look. With the curtains fully opened to the side, the room was filled with bright sun light.\n\t“Close the damn curtains and stay away from them,” Onai scowled leaning up and faced her, glaring at her. The bright light had woke him up. She looked over at him, her face puckered, on the verge of tears, until she remembered what her dad once said to her. “Bravery is being strong when in uncertain situations. Go with what you think would be right to help you not show fear and to remain brave.” She smiled, and wiped nonexistent tears from her eyes then pulled the curtains back over the door windows. She walked away then sat down on the floor, in a corner, near the balcony door. She pulled her legs up to her chest then placed her head against her knees. Her blue dress front lifted up, showing her pink panties crotch between her thighs. Onai sighed upon seeing that he had made her sad.\n\n\tHe got off the bed and walked over to her. He leaned against the wall and then slid down coming to rest next to her.\n\t“I’m sorry. I just prefer my room being dark. I didn’t mean to scare or make you cry,” he said. She had remained silent until the door opened up. Vapor walked in with her arms crossed.\n\t“Why did you yell at her? I was going upstairs and heard it from the stairs,” she asked Onai sternly.\n\t“I didn’t mean to. I was woke up and blinded by the sudden sun light filling my room,” he said while he softly rubbed her head. Vapor walked up to the two then squatted down.\n\t“He didn’t scare me,” she said quietly, lifting her head up.\n\t“That’s not the point Hiroko. He yelled at you. You’re new here and don’t know the rules of the bedroom. I suggest that he sits you down and explain what he likes and dislikes and the rules…” Vapor said then looked over at him and glared, “or else”. He sighed and rolled his eyes, but knew his mom was right. He nodded and said that she was correct. Vapor stood up and left the room.\n\t“Look, just keep the curtains closed, or ask me first. Stay off my computer and stay out of my closet. You can do whatever else, I guess. Oh and don’t touch my comics,” he said then stood up.\n\t“Okay,” she replied quietly still balled up. He faintly smiled at her then stood up. He was in his underwear. He quickly got dressed then headed for the door. After opening it, he looked back at the little fox.\n\t“Come on, lets get breakfast,” he said. She smiled, jumped up and rushed up to him. She took his paw and walked downstairs with her new caretaker.\n\n\tFive hours later Hiroko sat in the living room. Next to her sat her plush giraffe. They were watching cartoons, Paw Patrol. She clapped as one of the characters swooped in to save another character just in time. Shayla walked in and climbed up onto the couch next to Hiroko. Hiroko looked over and smiled then returned her attention back to the cartoons. Thirty minutes later Fang walked in and sat down next to the two girl cubs and started watching cartoons with them. After a few minutes he sniffed the air. A smell hit his nostrils. He looked down at the two cubs.\n\t“How are you liking it here Hiroko?” He asked.\n\t“I don’t know,” she replied quietly.\n\t“You don’t know?” He asked.\n\t“Onai is mean,” she replied.\n\t“How is he being mean?” He asked now worried about her even more.\n\t“He yelled at me again this morning,” she said looking up at him, “I looked outside and he woke up. He said close the damn curtains and stay away.”\n\t“He said that to you?” He asked. She nodded.\n\t“Well, let’s go deal with those curtains, okay?” He said standing up. He picked her up to put her onto his back, the stench really overtook his nostrils. He held back a gag and started breathing through his mouth instead of his nose. He walked upstairs and into their bedroom. He sat her down and looked at her.\n\t“Which curtains?” He asked.\n\t“On the door,” she replied.\n\t“Okay,” he said. Fang walked over, grabbed hold of the curtain bar and lifted it off. He pulled the curtains off the two doors and then all of the windows. The room was brightly lit now.\n\t“How’s that?” Fang asked.\n\t“It’s nice now,” she replied. He squatted down and kissed her muzzle.\n\t“When was the last time you had a bath?” He asked.\n\t“I don’t know,” she replied.\n\t“Have you had one since you got here?” He asked.\n\t“No,” she replied.\n\t“How many clean clothes do you have left?” He asked.\n\t“These that I have on,” she replied.\n\t“Any reason why you haven’t taken a shower or bath?” He asked.\n\t“I tried but I don’t know how to work the thing. It doesn’t have handles,” she explained.\n\t“Okay. Well, you smell, kind of bad,” he said. She looked down at the floor embarrassed.\n\t“Don’t worry. You’re okay and not in trouble. You’ll get a really good bath after Onai gets home. Okay?” He said lifting her head up. He smiled at her warmly making her smile back.\n\t“Okay,” she replied.\n\t“I’m going to warn you though, I’m really angry at Onai. There might be yelling, but stick through it okay? Just be brave,” he said then softly booped her nose.\n\t“Okay. I try hard to,” she replied with a giggle.\n\t“We’ll get you some new clothes too. Onai’s been busy with work so he hasn’t really been able to go buy you some. He, we, will tonight though,” he said.\n\t“Can I pick what I want?” She asked with a smile.\n\t“You betcha. Anything you want, Onai will buy it, whether he likes it or not,” he replied. She smiled then hugged him.\n\t“Just keep being nice and cute. He’ll come around and stop being mean… or else I’ll change his mind and his attitude,” he said. He stood up and picked up all of the curtains. The two of them left the now bright room.\n\n\tFour and half hours later Onai and Fang stood outside Onai’s bedroom. They were arguing with each other and Onai was losing.\n\t“I do not have time to make sure she takes a bath or shower every night. I don’t even do that,” he scowled.\n\t“You will or you’ll lose everything in your bedroom. It’ll only be you, your homework, community service and Hiroko. You will care for her as if she’s your own daughter,” Fang replied.\n\t“SHE’S NOT MY DAUGHTER! I DON’T HAVE A DAUGHTER! SHE’S NOTHING TO ME!” Onai yelled.\n\t“Onai! You will care for her properly or I promise you, I will send you to military school and I’ll make sure the instructors drag your ass through the mud the entire time you’re there, until you turn 18. Do you understand?” Fang said.\n\t“Whatever! Just put it all on me, everyone else does. Fuck my life and fuck you!” Onai said, opening his bedroom door. He stopped when he saw the missing curtains.\n\t“What the fuck? Where are my curtains?” He asked.\n\t“I took them down. Next time you yell at Hiroko for opening curtains or anything, I’ll kick you out of the house,” Fang replied.\n\t“Whatfuckingever,” he replied and slammed the door behind him, the door barely missing Fang’s muzzle by just an inch. Onai and Hiroko both heard Fang’s growl.\n\n\tHiroko was sitting on the bed with her legs pulled to her chest. She had been listening to them arguing since Onai arrived home nearly half an hour ago. He looked over at her and shook his head.\n\t“Fucking come on. It’s time for you to get a shower that you should be able to do by your fucking self,” he said. She looked up at him, too scared to move. His eyes glared daggers at her, as if piercing her body to kill her.\n\t“Get up and go to the FUCKING bathroom,” he scowled loudly. Just a couple of seconds later the door flew open and slammed into the wall. Fang took a few steps in with his arms crossed and his eyes glaring at Onai. He only stared at Onai, the stare, the one that his cubs were scared of.\n\t“Sorry Hiroko. Let’s get you cleaned up,” Onai said. She shook her head no and pulled her legs up to her chest. Onai looked at her for a few seconds then walked over to his desk and sat down.\n\t“What are you doing Onai?” Fang asked.\n\t“She doesn’t want a bath. I’m not going to force her to do it,” he replied picking up a comic book. Fang walked up and grabbed the comic and closed it.\n\t“You’re her caretaker. You give the orders and she needs to follow them. Don’t yell at her Onai. She wants a shower and NEEDS a shower. She can smell her own body odor and everyone else can too. Get her cleaned up. Now! Or leave my house,” Fang said then slammed the comic book down on the desk.\n\t“Fine,” he replied. He walked over to the bed and picked her up causing her to shriek. He carried her into the bathroom. She tried struggling to get loose from his grip. Fang walked in behind them and stood in the doorway. He watched Onai turn the shower on. “Bath Onai, she’s not ready for showers with you yet,” he said. “Luna and I were taking showers with you and mom at four, but whatever,” he replied as he pressed the button to turn the shower off. He headed to the bathtub while Hiroko stood there watching while he fiddled with the control panel. After a few minutes the tub was filled up. Onai stripped down and looked over at Hiroko. She shook her head and rushed over to Fang, who squatted down.\n\t“Go on Hiroko, take a bath,” he said.\n\t“No. Not with Onai. He scares me,” she said loud enough for Onai to hear it. His ears folded flat against his head and tail moved between his legs.\n\t“He’s a pup and smaller than you for being so mean and cursing at you. You’re a big brave fox girl who could beat him up in just seconds. He’s only mean because you’re so adorable and full of life and cheerful, while he doesn’t like being happy anymore. He used to be as nice and happy as you are,” Fang said, only worsening Onai’s guilt.\n\t“No. Onai hates me. I don’t want to be here anymore. I want my mommy and daddy,” she said and started tearing up that quickly turned into crying. Onai’s ears flattened against his head once again.\n\t“Hiroko…” Onai said walking up to her, “I don’t hate you.”\n\t“Yes you do. You only yell and be mean to me and… and… and…” she said through her cries. “SHE’S NOTHING TO ME!!!,” she said loudly and started bawling harder. Fang glared at Onai who was just a few feet away now.\n\n\tFang sat down and hugged Hiroko and started soothing and calming her down and getting her to stop crying.\n\n\t“Onai, if she goes back to CPS, the judge WILL put you in Juvi. This wasn’t our choice but the judge to give you more responsibility to see if you can change your ways. If you fail Hiroko, you will go to Juvi and keep those felonies,” Fang said.\n\t“WHAT? THAT’S BULLSHI-” he stopped himself as Hiroko started to cry again. “Hiroko,” he said turning her around, “I’m sorry. I’m just mad at my parents for stuff they’ve been making me do. I took my anger out on you. I’ll do my best not to be mean anymore.”\n\t“You promise?” She asked wiping tears from her face. He smiled at her, “yeah… I promise,” he replied halfway rolling his eyes. He stood up then carried her to the steps of the bathtub.\n\t“You want to take a bath?” He asked. She nodded, frowning and still sobbing.\n\t“Okay. You gotta take your clothes off then,” he replied.\n\t“Onai, don’t screw this up. Your freedom depends on Hiroko’s safety, happiness and health,” Fang said then left. Hiroko lifted her arms straight above her head and waited. Onai squinted his eyes at her, not getting the idea for a few seconds, then it hit him.\n\t“Sorry. But shouldn’t you know how to undress yourself?” he said lifting her shirt over her head. He tossed it over his shoulder and it landed on the floor feet behind him. He reached down and unbuttoned her pants then pulled the zipper down.\nShe stopped him after he grabbed the seam of her pants and started to pull them down. She looked up at him, unsure, remembering what her parents had taught her. Bad touches, not allowing anyone to take her clothes off, not showing others her panties or her privates and a few other things. She breathed in unsure of what she should do. Her paws gripped his paws tightly. Onai could see that she was scared. He watched her lower her head and her ears flatten.\n\t“It’s okay Hiroko. This isn’t bad. I am your caretaker, like a babysitter. Have you ever had a babysitter before?” He said. She looked up and nodded at him.\n\t“Did she ever give you a bath?” He asked.\n\t“Yes,” she replied.\n\t“Did he or she undress you?” He asked.\n\t“Yeah, she did” she replied again with a smile, remembering Ms. Kijjit, a 15 year old Khao Manee, a cat.\n\t“It’s no different with me. You don’t have to be scared,” he said.\n\t“Okay,” she replied then slowly removed her paws from his. He gently pulled her pants down revealing a pair of dirty white panties. He put his thumbs into the bands of her panties and pulled them down. \n\n\tShe sighed and closed her eyes as her nude body was revealed to the scary teenage wolf. Her eyes opened up when she felt body lifting up. She looked at Onai, he smiled at her, even though it was just for a split second. She smiled back and tried to hug him, but before she could her body plunged into the water, landing on the steps. The water came up to her upper chest. Onai joined her just seconds later. He placed her in one of the seats then sat himself down as well. She sat there unsure what to do even after he handed her a wash cloth. He watched her just dip the rag into the water and back out a few times then sighed.\n\t“Mommy or daddy always washed me, it feels weird not doing that,” she said.\n\t“Come here,” he said with a sigh. She looked up at him unsure silently for about half a minute.\n\t“GET O…” he stopped himself and took a deep breath, “come here,” he said holding out his paw. She took his paw then stood up. She took a step and shrieked as she slipped down the angled leg rest. She came to a stop with the water at the bottom of her jaw. She stood 48 inches tall. He pulled her over and lifted her up onto the edge of his seat. She sat there between his legs. He reached around and took the rag from her paws. He dipped it into the water then poured soap onto it. She sat there for the next five or ten minutes feeling him rub the rag around her back, on her neck then her arms. He dipped the rag back into the water then added more soap to it. He reached around and started rubbing the side of her chest. She started giggling and thrashing her body and arms, and inadvertently hit him in the face with her elbow. He lost his grip on her and she slipped underneath the water. She stood up and spun around. He had his right paw over his right eye while his left eye glared at her. She backed up and put her paws to her chest.\n\t“I. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hit you. I tickle easy,” she said and backed up a little bit. He breathed in and exhaled heavily.\n\t“Come here,” he said sternly and beckoned her with his finger. \t“N-no,” she shook her head and stepped backwards.\n\t“Now,” he said. She gasped as if she was about to cry but took a few steps forwards. He grabbed her and pulled her closer to him, his paws on her sides. She had only fear in her eyes and tears forming. With a smile he began tickling her. She laughed and shrieked for the few seconds he was doing so. He stopped and chuckled.\n\t“I’m not mad, I know you didn’t mean to,” he said with a smile. He lifted her back up and sat her down on his legs and continued washing her body off. He lifted her arms up out to the side and ran the rag across each arm, down the sides of her chest and finally her legs. He gently pushed her off his lap. She turned around and looked up at him.\n\t“You can wash your privates and butt,” he said handing her the rag. She took it in paw and looked down at it. She lowered it down and wiped her vulva off then her butt as good as she could. She looked at him then handed the rag back to him.\n\t“You done?” Onai asked.\n\t“Yes,” she replied.\n\t“Good,” he replied then hit a button on the control panel the water started draining for a few seconds until he stopped the draining and let it fill back up. He grabbed her and turned her around then took the bottle of shampoo and poured a large amount on to her head. He quickly and roughly worked it down to her skin and lathered it along her hair to the ends. Her hair came to an end at her shoulders. She whimpered as his fingers roughly scraped at her scalp, but was too scared to say anything about it hurting her.\n\n\tAfter nearly a minute he told her to hold her breath and nod when she had. She took in a deep breath and nodded. He pushed her under the water for a few seconds then pulled her back up and quickly did it a second time and scrubbed her head quickly to remove the remaining shampoo. He told her to hold her breath again and that she would be underwater for longer. She nodded. She sat under the water for fifteen seconds while he scrubbed and rubbed her scalp and hair. He pulled her up and just seconds later she exhaled and took a few quick breaths. “All done,” he said, stood up and hit the button to drain the water. She turned around and looked at him a few seconds before rubbing her eyes. They were both red, not from crying but the shampoo getting in her eyes. He took a towel and dried himself off, leaving her inside the still draining tub. She stood there watching him. After almost five minutes he looked at her, she was shivering. He shook his head and pulled her out of the tub and dried her off. After a few minutes he stood up and looked down at the girl in front of him. Her head came up to his waist. She smiled at him, only for a second, as she caught his gaze.\n\t“Come on,” he said and walked out of the bathroom. He hit up his dresser and got dressed. She stood there watching him. He pushed his hindpaws into his underwear and pulled them up, then his pants and finally a shirt. He walked to the door and looked back at the naked fox girl. She stood there with her paws resting in front of her, covering her naked crotch. He sighed and held his paw out as he walked back to his dresser. He opened one of the drawers and pulled out a shirt. He put it over her head and let it drop. The bottom fell past down and rested between her knees and her crotch.\n\n***\n\n\tA little over an hour later Onai, Hiroko and Fang walked into Targanimals in Greenwood. Onai took a cart and started pushing it into the story. Fang looked at Onai after stopping him.\n\t“Buy her any clothing that she wants, but you know our rules on panties,” Fang said.\n\t“Yeah, sure dad,” Onai replied then headed off. Fang headed off in a different direction, to pick up supplies for him and Vapor, sexy stuff for them. Onai stopped in the little girls clothing section and lifted Hiroko out of the cart.\n\t“Get whatever you need,” he said, unamused about having to spend [i]his[/i] money on this girl that was dropped in his lap for no reason. He exhaled then rested his arms on the carts push handle bar. She looked around for a few minutes before walking back up to him.\n\t“I don’t know how to get clothes,” she said quietly.\n\t“Jeez, can’t you do anything? Can’t bathe your own self, can’t pick out clothing, can’t even dry yourself off. I’m surprised that you can even feed yourself,” He said. She looked at him as her face cringed and tears started flowing, silently crying.\n\t“God dammit,” he said quietly, “and a fucking crybaby,” he said very quietly. He looked around and noticed a sales associate a few aisles over. He took her paw and walked up to the associate and asked for help getting her clothing size. After a few minutes the associate stood back up and looked at him.\n\t“She’s a size five but I’d suggest size six. They’ll fit slightly loose but she’ll grow into them over the next few months,” she said.\n\t“Thanks,” he replied and walked away back to the clothing section. They walked up to the wall of packs of panties and found the size five and size six packs. After telling her to pick out a couple of packs, she couldn’t make up her mind after just barely over a minute. Annoyed, he sighed and ripped a few packs from the wall and tossed them into the cart then headed a few feet down to the socks. He picked up a few packs that seemed like they would fit and tossed them in. He took her paw and they headed to the pants and shorts. “Pick or I’ll do it,” he said. She looked at them and pulled a few pairs from the storage bins and looked at them. They were all solid colors. She dropped them into the cart and looked at more. After a few minutes she looked back up at him, silently. He grabbed around ten pairs of pants and just threw them in.\n\t“So tired of being here and doing this. It’s fucking annoying,” he said quietly but not quietly enough. He looked over at her staring at him as tears formed in her eyes.\n\t“Fucking cry baby,” he said, “get your shirts so we can leave already.” She walked slowly behind him, her tail between her legs. Once they were at the shirts she put her paw on a pile of shirts and pushed them off to the cart, just one made it in.\n\t“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?” He scowled. She walked away and sat down on the floor ten feet away and pulled her legs to her chest.\n\t“Cry! I don’t care. I just want to get home and do my homework so I can fucking sleep. I don’t have time to deal with a fucking baby,” he said. After a few seconds of standing there waiting for her to stop crying a large shadow overcame him. He turned around to his father, arms crossed. Fang then walked over to Hiroko and squatted down and lifted her head up and wiped the tears away.\n\t“You okay?” He asked.\n\t“No he was mean again. I didn’t get to choose anything,” she replied. Fang looked over at him and shook his head.\n\t“She was taking forever to choose. It’s only underwear pick a few packs and go to the next thing,” Onai replied.\n\t“No Onai. I remember you always taking your time to find the awesome underwear that you wanted when you were younger and even now. So did both of your sisters. Even your mom and I take time to choose, even now. How long did you even give her time to look?” Fang replied.\n\t“Like four or five minutes I guess,” he replied.\n\t“No. It was only a minute and eight seconds,” Hiroko replied, catching both Onai and Fang off guard with her reply.\n\t“How do you know that?” Fang asked.\n\t“I co-count seconds for doing things. Daddy taught me that to be able to do math in a fun way,” she replied.\n\t“Then take the clothes out and look for what you want. I told you I don’t care what you get, just do it. I don’t have time for all of this shit,” Onai said.\n\t“You know what Onai?” Fang said standing up. “We’ve given you plenty of chances to change your attitude. You’ve yelled at her, cursed at her, leave her behind when you walk away. You’re impatient with her and all of your family. I’m done. I’m calling Judge Norberg and let him know that you’ve failed to abide by the rules. See you in three to fifteen years,” Fang said.\n\t“Do what you have to. At least I won’t have to care for her anymore,” he said. Hiroko jumped up, “[b]I HATE YOU ONAI![/b]” Hiroko screamed and rushed off.\n\t“Well done Onai. Well fucking done,” Fang said then rushed after her. Onai looked at the cart and kicked it. Sending it onto its side spilling the contents out on the floor. He sat down on one of the shelves and breathed out hard. Just a moment later the sales associate that helped him earlier walked up to him.\n\t“I know it’s not my place to say this, but your dad is right. You were really mean to her. She’s a cute and lovely girl and you were just outright mean and hateful to her. She had a huge smile after she told me that you were caring for her. She likes you, well, liked you. I was waiting to let you finish shopping, I wanted to give you my phone number and maybe ask you on a date cause you’re cute. But now, I’m glad I didn’t. You’re an asshole and whatever your dad meant about that judge, you deserve it,” she said. The sales associate was a sixteen year old squirrel.\n\t“You’re right, it’s not your place to say anything, so fuck off,” he replied standing up.\n\n\tShe scoffed at him shook her head and walked away. He sat back down on the shelf and placed his paws on his head and rubbed his temples. Fifteen minutes had passed while he thought about what his father said, what the sales associate said and what Hiroko said. He looked at the still overturned cart in front of him. He kicked it with his heel, yelped and grabbed his hindpaw. After the pain subsided he stood up with a sigh. He lifted the cart and put everything back into it. He walked over to the panties and looked at all of the designs. He took a pack of each design in size five and six and sat them in the cart. He did the same with shirts as well. He pushed the cart around a bit and picked up a few items and headed up to the checkout.\n\n\tAfter finally getting through the line he pushed the cart out to the parking lot. It was dark out, he looked out in the parking lot and noticed his dad’s car wasn’t there. They had left him behind. Onai nodded his head and took the ten bags in paw and headed down the street. It took him three hours to walk the five or six miles home, not for it being a long walk but for him walking slowly. Trying to figure out how to not end up in Juvi or jail tonight or tomorrow. At the door he pulled out his key out of the lock then stepped inside. It was dark and well past midnight. Only a few lights lit up the house, little nightlights in electrical outlets and the aquariums. He heard a beep from his right and realized the alarm was about to go off. He quickly inputted his code and reset the alarm. He sat the bags down and headed into the kitchen. Opening the fridge he started to grab a coke but noticed his dads alcohol bottle. He looked around, took the bottle and unscrewed the lid and took a drink from it. “Huh, that tastes good,” he said quietly then took another drink. He grabbed one of the little glasses from the cabinet and filled it up.\n\n\tAfter four more shots, his vision was blurred and spinning while his body shook. He nearly dropped the bottle of Vodka. He put the lid back on the expensive, $2,000, bottle of Vodka and grabbed a can of coke. He exhaled and rubbed his eyes, the alcohol had already took full effect. Almost. He shakily headed upstairs. He had to hold onto the railings and look at his hindpaws to keep from tripping. He opened the bedroom door to see Hiroko sound asleep hugging her stuffed giraffe plush. He walked in and sat the bags down and stripped down. He climbed into bed and turned over and stared at Hiroko.\n\t“She is cute,” he said. He rose his paw and brushed her hair bangs away from her eyes. “I’m sorry Hiroko,” he said then rolled over and passed out… blacked out.", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Friday November 1, 2030

\t“Onai, come to the living room please,” Fang said over the intercom system. After he finished speaking Fang walked back over to a chair and sat down. A few minutes passed when Onai walked in and saw his dad, mom and two other furs also sitting.
\t“Yes dad?” Onai asked with a sigh.
\t“Onai, this is Ms. Porter, she works with CPS,” Vapor said.
\t“Hello,” he replied, “am I in trouble for something?”
\t“Sit down please,” Fang replied. Onai rolled his eyes but obeyed.
\t“It’s nice to meet you Onai, as your mom said I’m Ms. Porter and work for CPS. This here is Hiroko,” she said.
\t“Uh, hello Hiroko,” he said. She looked up at him and very faintly smiled without saying a word.
\t“She’s a bit shy, but she warms up to others fairly fast,” she replied.
\t“Okay. Why am I here? I have stuff I’m working on,” he said.
\t“Manners Onai,” Fang said.
\t“Sure dad,” he replied.
\t“Hiroko’s parents were mugged. They didn’t make it. She’s been told but she hasn’t fully grasped everything yet, she’s still shook up quite badly. We’ve been working on it over the past couple of weeks. She just turned 5 years old, twenty-four days ago. Her parents moved over here and immigrated here when she was just barely two years old, they were, are, full USF citizens. We’ve tried contacting the Japanese Social Services but since they moved to the USF and renounced their Japanese citizenship, the Japanese government have no legal say in what happens to Hiroko, nor do they care. Anyway, since I’ve worked with your grandmother and Copen’s Orphanage, I asked your parents if they would be willing to take care of her, instead of her going into the system. However, your parents think it would be better for Hiroko and you if you were to care for her,” Ms. Porter explained.
\t“What? No. No way in hell. No, I’m not. I have too much to do and I’m too young to care for a cub,” he said jumping up from the couch.
\t“Sit down Onai. You have no choice,” Fang said.
\t“No. I do have a choice and I’m saying no,” he said and started walking away.
\t“Military school then,” Fang spoke up. Onai stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the floor for a moment in silence. He sighed and dropped his shoulders. He turned around and sat back down on the couch.
\t“Fine,” he said.
\t“I’m sure you’ll do well Onai. Your parents spoke very highly of you,” Ms. Porter said.
\t“I don’t know how to care for a cub though,” he replied.
\t“That’s not true Onai. You cared for your sisters multiple times, along with Skyler and all of Laika’s cubs. You know how to care for a cub,” Fang said.
\t“If you mean fu…, screwing up you know what I mean,” he replied.
\t“Onai, you’ll do well with her. I know you can take care of her. It won’t be any more difficult than caring for yourself,” Vapor said.
\t“Maybe,” he replied.
\t“Onai, you best listen to this really carefully and understand. If anything happens to her, you will be the one that faces the consequences. Do you understand?” Fang warned.
\t“Yes dad,” he replied with a deep and heavy exhale.

\tHe looked over at the young, short, Japanese fox. Hiroko has green eyes, black head hair, and mostly white fur, with only a few exceptions. Her tail is brown with a black tip, and below each eye, she has a pair of black and brown stripes. She was sitting in the chair next to the CPS agent. Her paws sat in her lap. Her lower legs was below her butt, sitting on them. Her eyes was bouncing between all of the adults then stopped on Onai after she saw him staring at her. He gave a slight smile. She smiled then shyly looked down at her legs. He walked up to her and squatted down in front of the chair.
\t“I guess I’m your uh, dad? Now. I guess,” he said.
\t“Just her caretaker,” Ms. Porter replied.
\t“Okay,” he replied.
\t“What room is she staying in?” Onai asked.
\t“Your room. She’s new to the house and might be scared and intimated by the size of everything,” Fang said.
\t“I have to sleep with a 5 year old girl that I don’t even know?” Onai scowled.
\t“Yes you do. There’s nothing wrong with it,” Vapor replied.
\t“Whatever,” he replied then looked back at the girl, “I guess I’ll show you where my … our room is,” he said with an unamused tone.
\t“Okay,” she replied quietly. He stood up and started walking off. Hiroko quickly slid off the chair and rushed up behind him.
\t“Onai, behave yourself with her,” Fang said.
\t“Yeah, I fuc… freaking know,” he replied.
\t“Hiroko, don’t forget this,” Ms. Porter said picking up a stuffed giraffe plushy. The young, little fox girl stopped and ran back up to the Ms. Porter and took the giraffe in her arms and hugged it.
\t“You be a good girl okay? The Wolfe family is an amazing family and love everything. They’ll take really good care of you,” Ms. Porter said then smiled warmly. Hiroko smiled and hugged her back.
\t“Thank you for helping me,” she said.
\t“I’m sorry about your mom and dad Hiroko,” she replied.
\t“I never see them again will I?” She asked.
\t“Like we’ve talked about before, no, you won’t,” she replied. Hiroko nodded and inhaled deeply before exhaling, trying not to cry, trying to be strong. Ms. Porter wiped away a few tears and smiled at her. Hiroko hugged her for nearly a full minute.
\t“Where’s her clothes at?” Onai asked.
\t“She only had a few sets. They were only going to be in Orion City for a few days, her parents were going to a job interview. You’ll have to buy her new clothes yourself,” Ms. Porter explained.
\t“Great. Less money for what I want or need,” he said, glaring at a wall, under his breath, but loud enough for everyone to hear him.
\t“We were going to increase your allowance again,” Fang replied.
\t“How much?” Onai asked turning around.
\t“An additional fifty dollars,” Fang replied.
\t“That’s not enough for anything though,” he replied.
\t“Then go get a job. You can get hired on at McAnimals, Burrito Bell, Sonic and other fast food places. You’ll work Friday nights and weekends, along with juggling your home-schooling, homework and community service,” Fang suggested.
\t“Fine, fifty extra dollars will be good,” he replied sighing.
\t“Good, now go show Hiroko your room. We’ll talk with you later,” Vapor said. Onai nodded and headed to the stairs while Hiroko tried to keep up with his fast walking and longer pawsteps.

\t“Are you sure he’s going to care for her properly? He doesn’t seem too happy about this,” Ms. Porter asked.
\t“We’re sure. He doesn’t want to end up in Juvi or military school. But, we’ll make sure she’s safe, healthy and happy and we’ll make sure he takes proper care of her. He’s also a bit tired and grumpy from yesterday. He was out on the side of the highway cleaning up trash. Halfway through the day he slipped and fell into a torn open trash bag of rotten food,” Fang replied.
\t“Okay. I just don’t want to see her hurt anymore. She’s the sweetest girl that I’ve ever met. Cheerful and happy, even though her parents were killed in front of her. Her dad grabbed her and fell over top of her to protect and save her life,” Ms. Porter said.
\t“That really is sad,” Fang replied.
\t“Indeed. Okay, I need to head back. I still have another kitten to take care of today. Call me if anything changes or happens,” Ms. Porter said standing up.
\t“We will. We’ll get her on our medical, dental and health insurance tomorrow or first thing Monday,” Vapor said.
\t“Good. Thank you again for helping Hiroko. I’m sure she’ll like it here,” she replied.
\t“No problem. She does seem like a good girl,” Fang replied.

\tOnai opened his bedroom door and stepped inside. Hiroko walked in and stopped, blocking the door, and started looked around.
\t“Go further in,” he said. She looked up at him then walked in a few more feet. Onai shut the door then got on his bed and stared up at the ceiling in boredom again. Hiroko quietly walked around the large bedroom for a few minutes, eventually she walked up to the bed and looked at Onai.
\t“What?” He asked.
\t“I have to potty,” she said.
\t“It’s through that door,” he said pointing at the open door. She smiled then rushed off. After nearly five minutes without her returning Onai got up and walked into the bathroom. Hiroko was standing on the top step to the bathtub/hot tub, looking down into the empty basin. He walked up to her and stood next to her.
\t“You know what this is?” He asked
\t“No,” she replied quietly, shaking her head.
\t“It’s a bathtub but also a hot tub. It has these jets that spray water out,” he explained.
\t“Oh okay,” she replied.
\t“You shouldn’t go near it though,” he said harshly. He took her paw and walked her back into the bedroom. He let go of her paw then laid back down on the bed. She sat on the floor and silently looked around. The bedroom was mostly clean. Some clothes littered the floor near the bathroom door and near the bed. Magazines and comics were tossed on the floor near the desk. At the foot of the bed sat a large chest that extended the full width of the bed. On top of the chest was folded linen, bed sheets, pillow cases and a blanket underneath the rest. There weren’t many electronics in the room, save for the 85-inch TV but it wasn’t turned on. On the nightstand, next to her new caretaker, was a few clear glass cups, all had some type of clear fluid, she guessed water.

\tA couple of hours later Hiroko sat up from the floor and stretched after falling asleep. She looked around and didn’t see Onai anywhere. She jumped up and ran into the bathroom, he wasn’t there either. Her eyes widened and her breathing became labored, scared breathing. She held her paws together against her chest. The room was mostly dark, just a little bit of light coming from a door that lead to the outside. She looked at the door that they came in earlier. She ran to it, her breathing was heavy, tears welled in her eyes. She struggled to get the door open but finally managed. She rushed out into the hallway. It was bright but still, she saw no one. She quickly ran to the stairs and ran down them, her pawsteps barely making any sounds. She stopped at the bottom and finally heard voices coming from the living room. She rushed in still breathing heavy, her eyes were still wide open and showing fear. She saw Onai sitting in a chair. She ran and jumped into his lap, startling him. He jumped out of the chair, sending her to the hardwood floor.
\t“What the hell is wrong with you?” Onai asked harshly a few seconds later.
\t“Onai! Don’t speak to her like that and in such a tone,” Willow snapped at him.
\t“I scared. You not in bedroom,” she said through her sobs.
\t“You were sleeping,” he replied.
\t“It was dark,” she replied.
\t“Onai, you didn’t leave a light on for her?” Vapor asked.
\t“No, she was sleeping. Last time I checked, we usually sleep in the dark,” he replied with a glare.
\t“Onai. She’s in a new house and around furs she doesn’t know,” Vapor replied walking over to the two. She leaned down and picked up the crying fox up from the floor and cradled her against her own body. Onai stood up and pulled Hiroko into his arms.
\t“Don’t take her like that. You put me in charge of watching her, for whatever stupid fucking reason. I don’t need your help nor does she,” Onai scowled.
\t“Do not talk to me like that Onai,” Vapor replied.
\t“Then don’t treat me like a fucking pup,” he scowled.
\t“Stop,” Hiroko said quietly, her words were overpowered by Vapor and Onai’s.
\t“Then stop acting like one,” she scowled back. Fang, Willow, Elli and a couple of others sat quietly watching the two of them argue.
\t“I would if you’d stop treating me like one. All of this is your fault,” he scowled.
\t“No Onai, it’s all your fault. Your choice to steal the car. Your choice to drive it on the roads-” she said being cut off by Onai.
\t“Stop,” Hiroko said again, still too quiet for anyone to hear.
\t“I made a fucking mistake. Everyone does. You’re biggest mistake, was having Luna and me so early,” Onai scowled.
\t“Don’t even go there Onai. I love you both and wouldn’t change anything,” Vapor replied
\t“Well I would, I’d stop you if I could. I wish I was never born!” Onai scowled.
\t“Stop,” Hiroko said quietly as the two argued, her tiny voice was once again overpowered by the two. Thirty seconds passed while she laid in Onai’s arms.
\t“Don’t just force something like this on to me. It’s stupid,” Onai said pointing at Hiroko.
\t“It’s not stupid Onai. She’s an orphan kit and needs help,” Vapor replied.
\t“It is stupid. Stupid to have a 15 year old care for a cub that isn’t family,” he replied.
\t“STOP!” Hiroko screamed, forty seconds after the two started arguing. They both looked down at her in Onai’s arms. She struggled to get loose until Onai sat her down. She looked up at him and kicked him in his shin, hard.
\t“I was scared in dark. You left me. You’re being mean. You’re not nice,” she said then slowly walked away, her tail tucked between her legs and up to her stomach. She walked over to the sitting room and disappeared behind the round aquarium.
\t“We made her mad,” Onai said, with guilt in his tone.
\t“Yeah, you did. Go console her Onai. But don’t leave her alone in the dark, turn a light on for her,” Vapor replied.
\t“Whatever,” Onai replied walking away, “bitch,” he said underneath his breath.

\tFour hours later Onai lead Hiroko back into his bedroom and shut the door. It was now dark outside. The room was much darker than it was before. She moved against Onai and held onto his waist, causing him to nearly fall to the floor.
\t“Get off of me. It’s only darkness, nothing can hurt you,” he said pushing her off of his leg then walked away, leaving her near the door. He stood at his bed and stripped down to his underwear then got in bed.
\t“Where do I sleep?” She asked.
\t“On the floor, the chair, shower, bed. Wherever you want to.” he replied grumpily. She looked around for a moment then ran to the bed. After almost twenty seconds of her struggling to climb on the bed Onai exhaled turned over and lifted her up.
\t“Just don’t sleep against me,” he said.
\t“Night night Onai,” she said then closed her eyes.

***

Wednesday November 6, 2030

\tFive days have passed since Hiroko arrived. She woke up from the night, it was morning. She slid off the bed, used the restroom then sat down on the floor and waited for Onai to wake up. A while later, bored, she walked up to the tall doors leading out onto the balcony. She jiggled the door handle to try to open them, but they were locked with the door handle locks and she couldn’t unlock it due to no key being in the handle to unlock the doors. She wanted to look outside so she pulled the curtains back just enough to look out the door window. She smiled wide upon seeing the deck balcony, the road, a house and then a huge open field behind the house. She pulled the curtain to the side to get a better look. With the curtains fully opened to the side, the room was filled with bright sun light.
\t“Close the damn curtains and stay away from them,” Onai scowled leaning up and faced her, glaring at her. The bright light had woke him up. She looked over at him, her face puckered, on the verge of tears, until she remembered what her dad once said to her. “Bravery is being strong when in uncertain situations. Go with what you think would be right to help you not show fear and to remain brave.” She smiled, and wiped nonexistent tears from her eyes then pulled the curtains back over the door windows. She walked away then sat down on the floor, in a corner, near the balcony door. She pulled her legs up to her chest then placed her head against her knees. Her blue dress front lifted up, showing her pink panties crotch between her thighs. Onai sighed upon seeing that he had made her sad.

\tHe got off the bed and walked over to her. He leaned against the wall and then slid down coming to rest next to her.
\t“I’m sorry. I just prefer my room being dark. I didn’t mean to scare or make you cry,” he said. She had remained silent until the door opened up. Vapor walked in with her arms crossed.
\t“Why did you yell at her? I was going upstairs and heard it from the stairs,” she asked Onai sternly.
\t“I didn’t mean to. I was woke up and blinded by the sudden sun light filling my room,” he said while he softly rubbed her head. Vapor walked up to the two then squatted down.
\t“He didn’t scare me,” she said quietly, lifting her head up.
\t“That’s not the point Hiroko. He yelled at you. You’re new here and don’t know the rules of the bedroom. I suggest that he sits you down and explain what he likes and dislikes and the rules…” Vapor said then looked over at him and glared, “or else”. He sighed and rolled his eyes, but knew his mom was right. He nodded and said that she was correct. Vapor stood up and left the room.
\t“Look, just keep the curtains closed, or ask me first. Stay off my computer and stay out of my closet. You can do whatever else, I guess. Oh and don’t touch my comics,” he said then stood up.
\t“Okay,” she replied quietly still balled up. He faintly smiled at her then stood up. He was in his underwear. He quickly got dressed then headed for the door. After opening it, he looked back at the little fox.
\t“Come on, lets get breakfast,” he said. She smiled, jumped up and rushed up to him. She took his paw and walked downstairs with her new caretaker.

\tFive hours later Hiroko sat in the living room. Next to her sat her plush giraffe. They were watching cartoons, Paw Patrol. She clapped as one of the characters swooped in to save another character just in time. Shayla walked in and climbed up onto the couch next to Hiroko. Hiroko looked over and smiled then returned her attention back to the cartoons. Thirty minutes later Fang walked in and sat down next to the two girl cubs and started watching cartoons with them. After a few minutes he sniffed the air. A smell hit his nostrils. He looked down at the two cubs.
\t“How are you liking it here Hiroko?” He asked.
\t“I don’t know,” she replied quietly.
\t“You don’t know?” He asked.
\t“Onai is mean,” she replied.
\t“How is he being mean?” He asked now worried about her even more.
\t“He yelled at me again this morning,” she said looking up at him, “I looked outside and he woke up. He said close the damn curtains and stay away.”
\t“He said that to you?” He asked. She nodded.
\t“Well, let’s go deal with those curtains, okay?” He said standing up. He picked her up to put her onto his back, the stench really overtook his nostrils. He held back a gag and started breathing through his mouth instead of his nose. He walked upstairs and into their bedroom. He sat her down and looked at her.
\t“Which curtains?” He asked.
\t“On the door,” she replied.
\t“Okay,” he said. Fang walked over, grabbed hold of the curtain bar and lifted it off. He pulled the curtains off the two doors and then all of the windows. The room was brightly lit now.
\t“How’s that?” Fang asked.
\t“It’s nice now,” she replied. He squatted down and kissed her muzzle.
\t“When was the last time you had a bath?” He asked.
\t“I don’t know,” she replied.
\t“Have you had one since you got here?” He asked.
\t“No,” she replied.
\t“How many clean clothes do you have left?” He asked.
\t“These that I have on,” she replied.
\t“Any reason why you haven’t taken a shower or bath?” He asked.
\t“I tried but I don’t know how to work the thing. It doesn’t have handles,” she explained.
\t“Okay. Well, you smell, kind of bad,” he said. She looked down at the floor embarrassed.
\t“Don’t worry. You’re okay and not in trouble. You’ll get a really good bath after Onai gets home. Okay?” He said lifting her head up. He smiled at her warmly making her smile back.
\t“Okay,” she replied.
\t“I’m going to warn you though, I’m really angry at Onai. There might be yelling, but stick through it okay? Just be brave,” he said then softly booped her nose.
\t“Okay. I try hard to,” she replied with a giggle.
\t“We’ll get you some new clothes too. Onai’s been busy with work so he hasn’t really been able to go buy you some. He, we, will tonight though,” he said.
\t“Can I pick what I want?” She asked with a smile.
\t“You betcha. Anything you want, Onai will buy it, whether he likes it or not,” he replied. She smiled then hugged him.
\t“Just keep being nice and cute. He’ll come around and stop being mean… or else I’ll change his mind and his attitude,” he said. He stood up and picked up all of the curtains. The two of them left the now bright room.

\tFour and half hours later Onai and Fang stood outside Onai’s bedroom. They were arguing with each other and Onai was losing.
\t“I do not have time to make sure she takes a bath or shower every night. I don’t even do that,” he scowled.
\t“You will or you’ll lose everything in your bedroom. It’ll only be you, your homework, community service and Hiroko. You will care for her as if she’s your own daughter,” Fang replied.
\t“SHE’S NOT MY DAUGHTER! I DON’T HAVE A DAUGHTER! SHE’S NOTHING TO ME!” Onai yelled.
\t“Onai! You will care for her properly or I promise you, I will send you to military school and I’ll make sure the instructors drag your ass through the mud the entire time you’re there, until you turn 18. Do you understand?” Fang said.
\t“Whatever! Just put it all on me, everyone else does. Fuck my life and fuck you!” Onai said, opening his bedroom door. He stopped when he saw the missing curtains.
\t“What the fuck? Where are my curtains?” He asked.
\t“I took them down. Next time you yell at Hiroko for opening curtains or anything, I’ll kick you out of the house,” Fang replied.
\t“Whatfuckingever,” he replied and slammed the door behind him, the door barely missing Fang’s muzzle by just an inch. Onai and Hiroko both heard Fang’s growl.

\tHiroko was sitting on the bed with her legs pulled to her chest. She had been listening to them arguing since Onai arrived home nearly half an hour ago. He looked over at her and shook his head.
\t“Fucking come on. It’s time for you to get a shower that you should be able to do by your fucking self,” he said. She looked up at him, too scared to move. His eyes glared daggers at her, as if piercing her body to kill her.
\t“Get up and go to the FUCKING bathroom,” he scowled loudly. Just a couple of seconds later the door flew open and slammed into the wall. Fang took a few steps in with his arms crossed and his eyes glaring at Onai. He only stared at Onai, the stare, the one that his cubs were scared of.
\t“Sorry Hiroko. Let’s get you cleaned up,” Onai said. She shook her head no and pulled her legs up to her chest. Onai looked at her for a few seconds then walked over to his desk and sat down.
\t“What are you doing Onai?” Fang asked.
\t“She doesn’t want a bath. I’m not going to force her to do it,” he replied picking up a comic book. Fang walked up and grabbed the comic and closed it.
\t“You’re her caretaker. You give the orders and she needs to follow them. Don’t yell at her Onai. She wants a shower and NEEDS a shower. She can smell her own body odor and everyone else can too. Get her cleaned up. Now! Or leave my house,” Fang said then slammed the comic book down on the desk.
\t“Fine,” he replied. He walked over to the bed and picked her up causing her to shriek. He carried her into the bathroom. She tried struggling to get loose from his grip. Fang walked in behind them and stood in the doorway. He watched Onai turn the shower on. “Bath Onai, she’s not ready for showers with you yet,” he said. “Luna and I were taking showers with you and mom at four, but whatever,” he replied as he pressed the button to turn the shower off. He headed to the bathtub while Hiroko stood there watching while he fiddled with the control panel. After a few minutes the tub was filled up. Onai stripped down and looked over at Hiroko. She shook her head and rushed over to Fang, who squatted down.
\t“Go on Hiroko, take a bath,” he said.
\t“No. Not with Onai. He scares me,” she said loud enough for Onai to hear it. His ears folded flat against his head and tail moved between his legs.
\t“He’s a pup and smaller than you for being so mean and cursing at you. You’re a big brave fox girl who could beat him up in just seconds. He’s only mean because you’re so adorable and full of life and cheerful, while he doesn’t like being happy anymore. He used to be as nice and happy as you are,” Fang said, only worsening Onai’s guilt.
\t“No. Onai hates me. I don’t want to be here anymore. I want my mommy and daddy,” she said and started tearing up that quickly turned into crying. Onai’s ears flattened against his head once again.
\t“Hiroko…” Onai said walking up to her, “I don’t hate you.”
\t“Yes you do. You only yell and be mean to me and… and… and…” she said through her cries. “SHE’S NOTHING TO ME!!!,” she said loudly and started bawling harder. Fang glared at Onai who was just a few feet away now.

\tFang sat down and hugged Hiroko and started soothing and calming her down and getting her to stop crying.

\t“Onai, if she goes back to CPS, the judge WILL put you in Juvi. This wasn’t our choice but the judge to give you more responsibility to see if you can change your ways. If you fail Hiroko, you will go to Juvi and keep those felonies,” Fang said.
\t“WHAT? THAT’S BULLSHI-” he stopped himself as Hiroko started to cry again. “Hiroko,” he said turning her around, “I’m sorry. I’m just mad at my parents for stuff they’ve been making me do. I took my anger out on you. I’ll do my best not to be mean anymore.”
\t“You promise?” She asked wiping tears from her face. He smiled at her, “yeah… I promise,” he replied halfway rolling his eyes. He stood up then carried her to the steps of the bathtub.
\t“You want to take a bath?” He asked. She nodded, frowning and still sobbing.
\t“Okay. You gotta take your clothes off then,” he replied.
\t“Onai, don’t screw this up. Your freedom depends on Hiroko’s safety, happiness and health,” Fang said then left. Hiroko lifted her arms straight above her head and waited. Onai squinted his eyes at her, not getting the idea for a few seconds, then it hit him.
\t“Sorry. But shouldn’t you know how to undress yourself?” he said lifting her shirt over her head. He tossed it over his shoulder and it landed on the floor feet behind him. He reached down and unbuttoned her pants then pulled the zipper down.
She stopped him after he grabbed the seam of her pants and started to pull them down. She looked up at him, unsure, remembering what her parents had taught her. Bad touches, not allowing anyone to take her clothes off, not showing others her panties or her privates and a few other things. She breathed in unsure of what she should do. Her paws gripped his paws tightly. Onai could see that she was scared. He watched her lower her head and her ears flatten.
\t“It’s okay Hiroko. This isn’t bad. I am your caretaker, like a babysitter. Have you ever had a babysitter before?” He said. She looked up and nodded at him.
\t“Did she ever give you a bath?” He asked.
\t“Yes,” she replied.
\t“Did he or she undress you?” He asked.
\t“Yeah, she did” she replied again with a smile, remembering Ms. Kijjit, a 15 year old Khao Manee, a cat.
\t“It’s no different with me. You don’t have to be scared,” he said.
\t“Okay,” she replied then slowly removed her paws from his. He gently pulled her pants down revealing a pair of dirty white panties. He put his thumbs into the bands of her panties and pulled them down.

\tShe sighed and closed her eyes as her nude body was revealed to the scary teenage wolf. Her eyes opened up when she felt body lifting up. She looked at Onai, he smiled at her, even though it was just for a split second. She smiled back and tried to hug him, but before she could her body plunged into the water, landing on the steps. The water came up to her upper chest. Onai joined her just seconds later. He placed her in one of the seats then sat himself down as well. She sat there unsure what to do even after he handed her a wash cloth.  He watched her just dip the rag into the water and back out a few times then sighed.
\t“Mommy or daddy always washed me, it feels weird not doing that,” she said.
\t“Come here,” he said with a sigh. She looked up at him unsure silently for about half a minute.
\t“GET O…” he stopped himself and took a deep breath, “come here,” he said holding out his paw. She took his paw then stood up. She took a step and shrieked as she slipped down the angled leg rest. She came to a stop with the water at the bottom of her jaw. She stood 48 inches tall. He pulled her over and lifted her up onto the edge of his seat. She sat there between his legs. He reached around and took the rag from her paws. He dipped it into the water then poured soap onto it. She sat there for the next five or ten minutes feeling him rub the rag around her back, on her neck then her arms. He dipped the rag back into the water then added more soap to it. He reached around and started rubbing the side of her chest. She started giggling and thrashing her body and arms, and inadvertently hit him in the face with her elbow. He lost his grip on her and she slipped underneath the water. She stood up and spun around. He had his right paw over his right eye while his left eye glared at her. She backed up and put her paws to her chest.
\t“I. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hit you. I tickle easy,” she said and backed up a little bit. He breathed in and exhaled heavily.
\t“Come here,” he said sternly and beckoned her with his finger. \t“N-no,” she shook her head and stepped backwards.
\t“Now,” he said. She gasped as if she was about to cry but took a few steps forwards. He grabbed her and pulled her closer to him, his paws on her sides. She had only fear in her eyes and tears forming. With a smile he began tickling her. She laughed and shrieked for the few seconds he was doing so. He stopped and chuckled.
\t“I’m not mad, I know you didn’t mean to,” he said with a smile. He lifted her back up and sat her down on his legs and continued washing her body off. He lifted her arms up out to the side and ran the rag across each arm, down the sides of her chest and finally her legs. He gently pushed her off his lap. She turned around and looked up at him.
\t“You can wash your privates and butt,” he said handing her the rag. She took it in paw and looked down at it. She lowered it down and wiped her vulva off then her butt as good as she could. She looked at him then handed the rag back to him.
\t“You done?” Onai asked.
\t“Yes,” she replied.
\t“Good,” he replied then hit a button on the control panel the water started draining for a few seconds until he stopped the draining and let it fill back up. He grabbed her and turned her around then took the bottle of shampoo and poured a large amount on to her head. He quickly and roughly worked it down to her skin and lathered it along her hair to the ends. Her hair came to an end at her shoulders. She whimpered as his fingers roughly scraped at her scalp, but was too scared to say anything about it hurting her.

\tAfter nearly a minute he told her to hold her breath and nod when she had. She took in a deep breath and nodded. He pushed her under the water for a few seconds then pulled her back up and quickly did it a second time and scrubbed her head quickly to remove the remaining shampoo. He told her to hold her breath again and that she would be underwater for longer. She nodded. She sat under the water for fifteen seconds while he scrubbed and rubbed her scalp and hair. He pulled her up and just seconds later she exhaled and took a few quick breaths. “All done,” he said, stood up and hit the button to drain the water. She turned around and looked at him a few seconds before rubbing her eyes. They were both red, not from crying but the shampoo getting in her eyes. He took a towel and dried himself off, leaving her inside the still draining tub. She stood there watching him. After almost five minutes he looked at her, she was shivering. He shook his head and pulled her out of the tub and dried her off. After a few minutes he stood up and looked down at the girl in front of him. Her head came up to his waist. She smiled at him, only for a second, as she caught his gaze.
\t“Come on,” he said and walked out of the bathroom. He hit up his dresser and got dressed. She stood there watching him. He pushed his hindpaws into his underwear and pulled them up, then his pants and finally a shirt. He walked to the door and looked back at the naked fox girl. She stood there with her paws resting in front of her, covering her naked crotch. He sighed and held his paw out as he walked back to his dresser. He opened one of the drawers and pulled out a shirt. He put it over her head and let it drop. The bottom fell past down and rested between her knees and her crotch.

***

\tA little over an hour later Onai, Hiroko and Fang walked into Targanimals in Greenwood. Onai took a cart and started pushing it into the story. Fang looked at Onai after stopping him.
\t“Buy her any clothing that she wants, but you know our rules on panties,” Fang said.
\t“Yeah, sure dad,” Onai replied then headed off. Fang headed off in a different direction, to pick up supplies for him and Vapor, sexy stuff for them. Onai stopped in the little girls clothing section and lifted Hiroko out of the cart.
\t“Get whatever you need,” he said, unamused about having to spend his money on this girl that was dropped in his lap for no reason. He exhaled then rested his arms on the carts push handle bar. She looked around for a few minutes before walking back up to him.
\t“I don’t know how to get clothes,” she said quietly.
\t“Jeez, can’t you do anything? Can’t bathe your own self, can’t pick out clothing, can’t even dry yourself off. I’m surprised that you can even feed yourself,” He said. She looked at him as her face cringed and tears started flowing, silently crying.
\t“God dammit,” he said quietly, “and a fucking crybaby,” he said very quietly. He looked around and noticed a sales associate a few aisles over. He took her paw and walked up to the associate and asked for help getting her clothing size. After a few minutes the associate stood back up and looked at him.
\t“She’s a size five but I’d suggest size six. They’ll fit slightly loose but she’ll grow into them over the next few months,” she said.
\t“Thanks,” he replied and walked away back to the clothing section. They walked up to the wall of packs of panties and found the size five and size six packs. After telling her to pick out a couple of packs, she couldn’t make up her mind after just barely over a minute. Annoyed, he sighed and ripped a few packs from the wall and tossed them into the cart then headed a few feet down to the socks. He picked up a few packs that seemed like they would fit and tossed them in. He took her paw and they headed to the pants and shorts. “Pick or I’ll do it,” he said. She looked at them and pulled a few pairs from the storage bins and looked at them. They were all solid colors. She dropped them into the cart and looked at more. After a few minutes she looked back up at him, silently. He grabbed around ten pairs of pants and just threw them in.
\t“So tired of being here and doing this. It’s fucking annoying,” he said quietly but not quietly enough. He looked over at her staring at him as tears formed in her eyes.
\t“Fucking cry baby,” he said, “get your shirts so we can leave already.” She walked slowly behind him, her tail between her legs. Once they were at the shirts she put her paw on a pile of shirts and pushed them off to the cart, just one made it in.
\t“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?” He scowled. She walked away and sat down on the floor ten feet away and pulled her legs to her chest.
\t“Cry! I don’t care. I just want to get home and do my homework so I can fucking sleep. I don’t have time to deal with a fucking baby,” he said. After a few seconds of standing there waiting for her to stop crying a large shadow overcame him. He turned around to his father, arms crossed. Fang then walked over to Hiroko and squatted down and lifted her head up and wiped the tears away.
\t“You okay?” He asked.
\t“No he was mean again. I didn’t get to choose anything,” she replied. Fang looked over at him and shook his head.
\t“She was taking forever to choose. It’s only underwear pick a few packs and go to the next thing,” Onai replied.
\t“No Onai. I remember you always taking your time to find the awesome underwear that you wanted when you were younger and even now. So did both of your sisters. Even your mom and I take time to choose, even now. How long did you even give her time to look?” Fang replied.
\t“Like four or five minutes I guess,” he replied.
\t“No. It was only a minute and eight seconds,” Hiroko replied, catching both Onai and Fang off guard with her reply.
\t“How do you know that?” Fang asked.
\t“I co-count seconds for doing things. Daddy taught me that to be able to do math in a fun way,” she replied.
\t“Then take the clothes out and look for what you want. I told you I don’t care what you get, just do it. I don’t have time for all of this shit,” Onai said.
\t“You know what Onai?” Fang said standing up. “We’ve given you plenty of chances to change your attitude. You’ve yelled at her, cursed at her, leave her behind when you walk away. You’re impatient with her and all of your family. I’m done. I’m calling Judge Norberg and let him know that you’ve failed to abide by the rules. See you in three to fifteen years,” Fang said.
\t“Do what you have to. At least I won’t have to care for her anymore,” he said. Hiroko jumped up, “I HATE YOU ONAI!” Hiroko screamed and rushed off.
\t“Well done Onai. Well fucking done,” Fang said then rushed after her. Onai looked at the cart and kicked it. Sending it onto its side spilling the contents out on the floor. He sat down on one of the shelves and breathed out hard. Just a moment later the sales associate that helped him earlier walked up to him.
\t“I know it’s not my place to say this, but your dad is right. You were really mean to her. She’s a cute and lovely girl and you were just outright mean and hateful to her. She had a huge smile after she told me that you were caring for her. She likes you, well, liked you. I was waiting to let you finish shopping, I wanted to give you my phone number and maybe ask you on a date cause you’re cute. But now, I’m glad I didn’t. You’re an asshole and whatever your dad meant about that judge, you deserve it,” she said. The sales associate was a sixteen year old squirrel.
\t“You’re right, it’s not your place to say anything, so fuck off,” he replied standing up.

\tShe scoffed at him shook her head and walked away. He sat back down on the shelf and placed his paws on his head and rubbed his temples. Fifteen minutes had passed while he thought about what his father said, what the sales associate said and what Hiroko said. He looked at the still overturned cart in front of him. He kicked it with his heel, yelped and grabbed his hindpaw. After the pain subsided he stood up with a sigh. He lifted the cart and put everything back into it. He walked over to the panties and looked at all of the designs. He took a pack of each design in size five and six and sat them in the cart. He did the same with shirts as well. He pushed the cart around a bit and picked up a few items and headed up to the checkout.

\tAfter finally getting through the line he pushed the cart out to the parking lot. It was dark out, he looked out in the parking lot and noticed his dad’s car wasn’t there. They had left him behind. Onai nodded his head and took the ten bags in paw and headed down the street. It took him three hours to walk the five or six miles home, not for it being a long walk but for him walking slowly. Trying to figure out how to not end up in Juvi or jail tonight or tomorrow. At the door he pulled out his key out of the lock then stepped inside. It was dark and well past midnight. Only a few lights lit up the house, little nightlights in electrical outlets and the aquariums. He heard a beep from his right and realized the alarm was about to go off. He quickly inputted his code and reset the alarm. He sat the bags down and headed into the kitchen. Opening the fridge he started to grab a coke but noticed his dads alcohol bottle. He looked around, took the bottle and unscrewed the lid and took a drink from it. “Huh, that tastes good,” he said quietly then took another drink. He grabbed one of the little glasses from the cabinet and filled it up.

\tAfter four more shots, his vision was blurred and spinning while his body shook. He nearly dropped the bottle of Vodka. He put the lid back on the expensive, $2,000, bottle of Vodka and grabbed a can of coke. He exhaled and rubbed his eyes, the alcohol had already took full effect. Almost. He shakily headed upstairs. He had to hold onto the railings and look at his hindpaws to keep from tripping. He opened the bedroom door to see Hiroko sound asleep hugging her stuffed giraffe plush. He walked in and sat the bags down and stripped down. He climbed into bed and turned over and stared at Hiroko.
\t“She is cute,” he said. He rose his paw and brushed her hair bangs away from her eyes. “I’m sorry Hiroko,” he said then rolled over and passed out… blacked out.", "pools_count": 1, "title": "Onai's New Responsibility - Part 1", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "application/msword", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "1", "rating_name": "Mature", "ratings": [ { "content_tag_id": "2", "name": "Nudity", "description": "Nonsexual nudity exposing breasts or genitals (must not show arousal)", "rating_id": "1" }, { "content_tag_id": "3", "name": "Violence", "description": "Mild violence", "rating_id": "1" } ], "submission_type_id": "12", "type_name": "Writing - Document", "guest_block": "t", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "12", "views": "596" }
