Snow crunched firmly under the hard steps of a rabbit's feet, breaking the stillness of the night. Quick, ragged breaths joined the footsteps, and the image of a dark-furred bunny turned a corner and planted itself against the wooden exterior of an oriental-themed house. The rabbit pulled the dark hood back and away from his face, shaking out his equally-pitch-black ears and gray hair, sliding down to a sitting position to try and catch his breath.

"Dammit... I couldn't... How could she do that to them?" he took a quick peek around the corner, eyeing the streets for signs of pursuit. Not a soul in sight, but he didn't relax for an instant. This was Kai, a petty thief whose luck had just taken a turn for the worst. He'd been a small-time pickpocket since he was a child, having grown up in the poor section of a city in Dogan, the oriental nation on the coast of an otherwise barbaric and pagan continent. A beacon of civilization amidst savages... or so it was claimed. The poor didn't get much say in these boastings.

One evening, Kai decided that he was tired of scraping by with pocket picking and decided to go with something a little more dangerous: burglary. He started small, sneaking out at night and finding his way into some of the wealthier houses, grabbing only what he figured the owners could go without. He wasn't greedy, after all. Just hungry. Success after success gave the bunny more confidence, bringing him to higher-class houses where the guards were more likely to patrol, having several close calls, but not once getting caught in the act. He'd thought he'd found something to finally say he was good at, and once that thought set in, Kai started to become bold. It was that boldness that sent him sneaking into government buildings--banks, tax offices, weapon stores, officers' cabins. It was this boldness that had gotten him into this mess in the fist place. It was a cold winter's night, and Kai decided he'd go for the grand prize of thievery...

The Countess' palace stood high above the tallest buildings in the city of Rukonda. Kai had scoped the place out for three nights straight, taking note of guard positioning, shift changes and how much cover he'd get from buildings nearby. A gentle dusting of snow had begun in the early afternoon and continued into the night, aiding in masking the rabbit's profile against the prevailing darkness.

"Alright... Now or never." Kai reminded himself as he checked one more time for a patrol. He'd timed his arrival just when the guards would switch their shifts, leaving a hole in their coverage for a few precious minutes. With any luck, he'd be done in time for the next shift, or at least find a nice, quite spot to slip out from before he was caught.

Taking one last deep breath, Kai took the final step past the boundaries of the law. He pulled himself into the window of a dark room, silently padding along the floor and checking his surroundings. This room seemed to be an unoccupied bedroom, with little of note inside, and certainly nothing worth grabbing. From the looks of it, it would probably be used to house servants, whom he'd decided he wouldn't be stealing from. The servants needed their gold. The Countess, however, could spare a little.

Kai made his way up the stairs, avoiding guards along the way and heading toward his prize: the Countess' bed chamber. No doubt she'd have jewelry made of gold and silver, precious gemstones laying about, and gold coins stacked here and there. It was how royalty was depicted in stories, and he really didn't know any better, despite being a (mostly) reasonable adult.

The bunny rounded a corner and headed up another flight of stairs, then stopped short when he saw two guards standing before a large door. He pressed himself against a wall around the corner, trying hard to steady his breathing. If he was caught here, he'd be hurt. Maybe even killed! The weight of his decision to intrude upon a noble's property began to push heavily onto his shoulders, and he began to consider giving up and running home. But it was a long way back down those stairs, and he hadn't planned for an exit strategy that way. He could run into a fully-armed group of guards and be dead before he even knew they'd spotted him. It was do or die now... and he didn't plan on dying.

Kai scanned his surroundings, looking for any possible way past those guards. An open window seemed a likely route around, but the ledges were sure to be slippery and dangerous. He was about to abandon the idea when something caught his eye. A glint of metal reflecting torch light, hanging from a rope. Some sort of potted plant, strung up from the roof above. A closer inspection showed that it had quite a bit of slack, and there was a window off to the right. The window to the Countess' bedroom...

It was worth a try. Given the choice, he'd rather die from a fall than from a guard's sword or boot. He peered around the corner and examined the guards again. They were seated and turned toward one another, conversing idly and oblivious to his presence. It was as good of a time as any to try this. Kai pressed himself against the wall, took a few deep breaths, then took off in a sprint toward the window. He leapt through the frame, grabbing hold of the top of the pot. His fingers slipped and he thought it was over, but his grip found purchase on a couple of decorative hooks. He swung in a wide arc, biting down on his tongue to keep himself from screaming and alerting the whole city to his presence. Once he hit the apex of his swing, he steadied himself and held his feet out in front of him, hitting the wall as soft as possible right next to the Countess' window.

"Sweet Renir, I can't believe I pulled that off..." Kai let out a breath he'd been holding, taking a few moments to steady his breathing again before peering through the window. No one appeared to be inside, much to his relief. The rabbit slowly convinced himself to release his hold on the flower pot, pulling the window open and slipping inside. It was wonderfully warm in the bedroom. Being outside for even a few seconds was enough to chill the lithe bunny to the bone.

"Now... to claim my prize." he fixed his hood and started to rummage through drawers and boxes. The room was fancy, but not piled high with treasure like he'd imagined. Perhaps the writers had exaggerated a little. He did start to find some things of value in jewelry boxes, coin pouches and sitting on dressers, however. He knew of a few people who would buy the non-currency items off of him and push them onto someone else who wished to look like royalty. The Countess wouldn't miss a few earrings and necklaces, right?

Kai's sensitive ears picked up on footsteps approaching the door. Had he been caught? Was the Countess retiring for the evening? He didn't want to stick around to find out. The rabbit looked left, then right, finally deciding to take shelter in a wardrobe. It was a tall closet filled with fine silk outfits, made of a sturdy, expensive-looking wood, and surprisingly spacious on the inside. He shut the drawers he'd gone through, climbed into the wardrobe and closed the doors, praying that the Countess would find no reason to search that particular closet.

"Good evening, my lady." he heard one of the guards outside say. A muffled whimper from another entity reached the bunny's ears, and the guard spoke again, "More interrogations tonight? My lady must be exhausted. We could handle some of them, too, you know."

"You know how I work, Ko. I much prefer a personal touch with these loyalists." this voice was feminine, and presumably belonged to the Countess. She did not sound pleased. "If we are to make them fear us, we must show them that even those they perceive as weak can bring them to their knees."

"Of course, my lady. I didn't mean to imply..."

"No, of course not." the voice softened a little, and she seemed to address someone else, "Leave us. I wish to be alone with these two instigators."

The door opened. One set of footsteps plus the sound of two bodies being dragged inside were heard, followed by the door slamming. Cloth shuffled, and the two captives, male by the sound of their voices, each took a breath and began to beg for mercy.

"We're not loyalists... Please, you have to believe us!"

"We were just doing what we were paid to do!"

The Countess laughed a malicious laugh, the sound of her paws hitting the floor now circling around the room. The steps stopped somewhere in the middle, and she addressed the two prisoners, "You think you can fool me, you naughty, naughty boys? Many have made that excuse in the past... so even if you were telling the truth, I've grown quite tired of separating the truth from the lies."

Kai couldn't stand not seeing what was going on, and he felt he might jump out of his skin if he didn't at least get a glimpse. He decided to risk opening the door just a crack, a tiny column of light entering the wardrobe as he got a view of the situation. Nine white, fluffy tails bounced before his eyes, and he was relieved to see that the Countess was facing away from him. Countess Izumi Kito was a kitsune with a wide range of contacts and well-versed in the intricacies of political intrigue. This had brought her straight to the top of the food chain in the nobility, putting her in charge of the respectable city of Rukonda before long, with the prestigious title of "Countess" to add to her already impressive resume.

Now she stood with her back facing Kai, her white fur as radiant as he'd been told, if not more so. He'd never seen her in person before. Long locks of auburn hair trailed down from her head, with two white-furred ears poking out and listening attentively to the world around her. She wore a vibrant blue kimono that stopped just above her powerful-looking paws, long sleeves trailing down her arms and obscuring all but her hands. Kai both admired and feared her, watching as she gloated over the two supposed loyalists--followers of the old king of Dogan.

"Do you have anything else to say before I deliver you to a far more pleasant place?"

"Please don't kill us!"

"We'll do anything, just please let us go!"

The two men begged and pleaded, nearly to the point of tears, and the Countess stepped around them once more. Kai could see the men now; they were faced away from him, but he could tell that one was a mouse and the other some kind of feline. He saw the Countess begin to turn toward him, so he shut the wardrobe door as quickly and quietly as possible. His desire to see the goings-on was nothing compared to self-preservation, and if those two were in deep, he could imagine he wouldn't be much better off if he were to get caught now. Countess Izumi stopped before the two men, or at least that's as far as Kai heard her walk. She began to murmur strange things to them in a voice that sounded almost... seductive.

"Look closely, naughty boys. Look into the light." the tiniest tendril of blue light leaked through the crack in the wardrobe doors, and Kai found it oddly relaxing to watch. He turned his attention back to the sounds from the outside, trying to get a sense of what was going on.

"That's right. Good kitty. You, too, my sweet little mouse..."

"N-No... What are you doing to him? Let us go..!"

"Shhh..." Izumi cooed to the mouse, her tone a complete opposite of the threatening, imposing one she'd taken on originally, "It's ok, sweetie. You don't need to be afraid. All you have to do is look, and you'll be so much happier."

The mouse whimpered, continuing to plead for her to stop, to let them go, to cease whatever it was that had somehow silenced his feline companion. Soon, however, his whines and pleas turned to soft, curious murmurs and coos, and the room grew silent for a long few moments.

"See? That wasn't so bad, was it?" the Countess asked.

"No..." the two boys answered in unison, much to Kai's confusion and concern. How had she subdued them so easily? She could have been threatening them with something, but the air about the room had changed somehow. It didn't seem heavy with tension or sorrow like it had mere moments ago. Somehow, things felt significantly more... relaxed.

"Good boys. See? I'm a nice Countess. I'll make all the pain, all the fear, all the doubt go away." the blue light seemed to intensify as she spoke, shadows dancing around the room and obscuring bits of the light through the crack in the wardrobe doors as the source of the glow apparently bounced and moved around. Izumi continued, her words sending chills up Kai's spine, "Relax. Fall deep into my voice and relax. You're so happy, gazing into the light. So sleepy and happy and relaxed. It would be so nice to just give in to these feelings and surrender to the light."

The two loyalists murmured their agreement to her suggestions, and Kai felt himself nearly swoon at the sound of her voice. It was as if that soft, commanding tone was being whispered right into his head, bypassing his ears and going straight to all the places that made him warm and safe and...

"No!" he thought to himself, shaking his head briskly and squeezing his eyes shut to block out that eerie blue glow, which had been distracting him just a little as he listened to Countess Izumi's soft, enchanting voice, "Gotta focus. I don't know what's going on, b-but..."

"Such good boys you are. Fall into me." she let out a little 'ooh' as the two apparently did just that, continuing without missing a beat, "That's right. You're so sleepy. Far too sleepy to sit upright as you were."

Kai once again began to sway in place. There was something just so compelling about her words.

"Feel yourselves begin to drift off, your minds slipping away into a blissful land of dreams."

The two captives let out happy little whimpers and coos, and Kai nearly joined them. He silenced himself at the last moment, blinking his eyes and trying his best to remain awake. Oh, there was that blue light again. So distracting...

"And as you feel me shape you to my desires, know that your true purpose in life is about to be granted to you. Within a mere dream's time, you will find true purpose."

Shaping them to her desires? What could she have possibly meant by that? Was she seducing them? Controlling them somehow? Kai licked his lips unconsciously, practically feeling the Countess' muzzle at his ear, whispering soft truths to his sleepy mind. To be shaped to her desire would be just so...

Izumi's tone changed from that soft, smooth and seductive murmur for just a split second, the enchanting Countess issuing one firm command to her attentive listeners, "Sleep!"

Kai's mind blanked out for a second too long, and he felt himself fall forward, eyes slipping shut as the world went dark around him. The wardrobe doors gave to the weight of his body slumping forward, and he landed flat on his face. His head spun, awakened abruptly from that voice-induced sleep, and he looked up to see a startled Countess Izumi staring down at him.

"Well, well... It would seem I haven't lost my touch, seeing as I can enthrall even those beyond my focus." she said with a sly smile that practically oozed malice. Even with that soft tone in her voice, it was evident that she was not pleased by his presence.

Kai shook his head to try and knock out the fog that had settled over his mind, not quite lucid enough to remember to be afraid yet. He sat up and righted himself, rubbing the sore spot on his face and glancing between the two captured foxes, then to the--

Wait... foxes? He rubbed his eyes and blinked them, looking at the two captive boys once again. Bright white fur, pointed ears, a fluffy fox tail... What the hell had she done to the cat and mouse? Upon closer inspection, he could see that some of their original features remained; small patches of their old fur, the muzzles not looking entirely fox-like. But the tail, the white fur, the pointed ears... They all reminded him of the Countess standing before him.

The Countess. His mind suddenly remembered how to be scared. Kai jumped to his feet and backed away, only to run into the wardrobe and stumble, "W-What the hell did you do to them?"

"I improved them." Izumi said with a matter-of-factly grin, "Just as I am about to improve you, little bunny. Do your Countess a favor and look here..."

Kai's eyes widened as the kitsune's tails fanned out behind her and their tips burst alight with dazzling blue flames. He was entranced, staring into the light slack-jawed and trying fruitlessly to turn his head away, "N-No... No, please..!"

"Now, now." Izumi slowly approached, smiling serenely and reaching out for his cheek to stroke his soft fur, "Don't fret, my sweet bunny. It'll be over soon. I'll make you into such a beautiful fox..."

"W-What?" Kai's eyes managed to flick over to the two captive boys, still half-changed and sitting obediently in their mesmerized state. Some part of him remembered how scared they were, how much they wanted to escape, and this reminded the rest of his brain to try and fight. He squeezed his eyes shut and thrashed his arms out in front of him, connecting a sloppy punch with the kitsune's chin and throwing her for a loop, "No! I'm not letting you change me, you... you witch!"

Kai didn't give her a chance to react. He ran for the window, ears catching the irate shouting of the Countess to her guards, orders for his capture leaving her lips just as he made it out of hearing range. He climbed down the side of the building as quickly and carefully as possible until he could see a safe distance between him and the roof of the next tier of the building below. He continued this way, climbing down and taking momentary rests at each roof until he reached the final awning over the street. He'd escaped immediate capture, but the guards would surely be looking for him.

So there he sat, curled up against a random house, panting heavily and shaking from both the cold and fear. There was no way they'd give up on finding him so easily. It would only be a matter of time before the guards came this way and found him if he didn't move... and yet there he sat, petrified by the things he'd seen at the Countess' palace. She'd done something to them... Possessed them or bewitched them or something.

"A witch... The Countess is a witch!" he pulled his hood over his head, whimpering and probing his mind for a solution, "A witch... in Rukonda... And she's running the whole damn city! How did the chapel not..."

That was it. The chapel! He'd run to the chapel of Renir and inform the hunters! There was just one problem with that: The chapel was half-way across town. Would he make it that far before being captured? He would certainly have to try, as he heard heavy footsteps running in his direction. He could see torchlight reflecting off the houses nearby, and decided that it was time to go. The bunny picked himself up, tightened his hood around his head and started off in a sprint toward the chapel.

The guards rounded the block behind him and one shouted something. He couldn't pick up what exactly was said, but he didn't care. All he had to do was keep running, find a witch hunter, and seek protection from the Countess until this was all sorted out. Assuming he survived the trip there.

"Dammit!" he whimpered between quick breaths, racing through the streets, hearing the shouts of the guards fade out behind him as he put some distance between them and him, "Why'd I have to shoot so high? Why not some rich tax collector's house? Why not a jewelry store? Why the damn Countess?"

He cursed himself over and over for being so stupid, turning corners randomly to try and elude the guards further. He was already faster than them, and if he could just get them off his trail, he could relax a little. Slowly the profile of the chapel appeared over a line of buildings, and Kai could practically taste freedom. As luck would have it, though, he felt something slip under his foot, tripping him up and sending him tumbling to a stop, his coat tearing and scuffing as it dragged him to a stop atop the cobblestone street.

"F-Fuck..." Kai groaned and started to sit up, freezing in terror when he opened his eyes and saw Countess Izumi standing over him. His body went into fight or flight mode. He crawled backward, his muscles aching from the fall he'd taken, a trickle of blood leaking from his nose to his lips. He spat out the coppery taste and tried to get to his feet, but the kitsune quickly approached and planted a strong paw on his chest, holding him in place, "No! No, please!"

"You've caused me far more trouble than you ought to be worth, loyalist spy." Izumi said with that stern grin, "But I've got you... and this time you aren't getting away."

"No, wait! I'm not a loyalist! I was just... just...!"

"Just what? Explain yourself quickly, while I still have some semblance of patience."

Kai's ears drooped behind his head. Better to admit the lesser crime of burglary than to be accused of being a spy. He sighed pitifully and whimpered out, "Just... looking for some things to take and... sell..."

Without a pause, the Countess commanded, "Empty your pockets."

Kai did so with enthusiasm. Perhaps she would let him go this time? Even if not, a night or two in the city dungeon would be pleasant compared to what she'd done to the loyalists she'd captured. Bits of jewelry and gold coins were tossed out into the snow, relieving the bunny of the payoff for all his hardships. He sighed again and cast his gaze to the side, "That's everything. Please, can I go?"

The kitsune's expression shifted into one of pondering. She eyed the bits of gold and silver, wiggling her fingers and causing them to levitate up and into a pocket in her kimono. Finally, she smirked at him, looking left, then right, then straddling his waist and fanning out her tails, "You've seen a little too much, little bunny. I'm afraid I can't let you go."

"No, please... I swear I won't tell anyone!" Kai shut his eyes, remembering what the tiniest bit of that ghostly blue light from her tails had done.

"You're right about that." the kitsune leaned down and gave a long, seductive lick to one of his ears, sending a chill down his spine, "Now just relax, my little bunny. Relax and listen closely."

"N-No... No...!" Kai tried to squirm out from under her, but her hands gripped his shoulders firmly, legs locked around his waist to keep him secured in place. He took a deep breath and shouted out, "Help! Help me!"

"Save your breath, my dear. No one can hear us, or even see us." the Countess' tails glowed softly, encircling the two in a magical sphere, cutting them off from the world around them. The tips of her tails once again burst into blue flame, the light showing through Kai's closed eyelids and begging for him to open them and look. The magical kitsune crooned into his ear, her warm body pressed against his, providing a wonderful contrast to the snowy ground against his back, "Relax, my sweet bunny. Open your eyes... Open them... You know you want to look..."

Oh, did he ever. The edges of his mind began to agree, whispering to him, compelling him to open his eyes and bask in that beautiful blue glow. His eyelids relaxed, losing tension as he went from squinting to simply holding them shut. Gradually one eye began to open, his eyes turned to the side in one final attempt to avoid being enthralled by the vixen again. No matter how far he turned, however, there was always a tail right on his peripheral, flickering and beckoning to him with the enticing blue flames.

"Look at me." Izumi commanded in that firm tone of hers.

Kai couldn't resist. He turned his gaze toward the Countess, both eyes opening wide as he took on the full brunt of the hypnotic display. Her tails bounced and waved in the air behind her, framing her perfect body and piercing amber eyes. Those eyes... As mesmerizing as her tails were, those eyes could only be doubly so, even without any magical aid to them. He couldn't decide what to stare at, and that indecision only helped to further confuse his muddled mind.

"That's a good boy." the Countess praised him, and the words alone sent a rush of excitement through his body. She stroked his ears, rubbed his chest fur through his jacket and leaned down to gently kiss his lips, "Drift on a cloud of pure comfort and relaxation. Sail away on waves of absolute bliss. So easy to just let your mind wander."

Yes, so easy. So easy to just slip away with her. With that light. Kai's mouth hung agape, words hanging atop his tongue but lost to him entirely. All he could do was stare, listen, obey. "Obey." That word resonated in his head with such intensity, such importance... It played over and over again in an endless chant, "Obey. Obey. Obey. Obey. Obey."

"Obey." the word found its way to his lips, and he managed to express it with clarity. The utterance of the word brought on another surge of pleasure.

"Feels so good to obey." Izumi repeated. Wait, had she repeated it? She must have. It felt so familiar, so right in his mind. The kitsune giggled softly and traced her finger along his lips as he murmured his agreement to her, "That's right, it does feel good. Feels so nice to do exactly what your Countess tells you."

"F-Feels... good to..."

"Sleep. Feels good to sleep." she finished his statement.

"...sleep."

"Yes, my little bunny. Sleep. You're so sleepy, aren't you? It's so hard to keep your eyes open." the flames on her tails began to fade, and as they did, the bunny's eyelids began to droop, "It's perfectly fine for you to sleep, my sweet bunny. You're so tired... so weary. So ready for a happy little dream and a good night's rest."

A dreamy smile formed across Kai's lips. She was right. So totally right. How could he have ever doubted a single word that flowed from her perfect lips? He was so sleepy, so ready to drift away into her voice, her eyes, her light... Her fading light. It was ok, though. The light would surely be back. He had plenty of time to just... sleep...

He felt soft fur against his back. Two warm bodies pressed against him, holding him in a gentle embrace, caressing his sides, his belly, his back... It was so nice, so relaxing, and it took him a while to even remember what had happened. Kai slowly opened his eyes, yawning and stretching his legs out in front of him. His nude, uncovered legs... and waist... and chest. Heat rushed into his cheeks, and he pushed himself forward, away from the two forms cuddled up behind him. He was back in the Countess' chamber, stripped of everything but his fur, totally lost and confused. The bunny spun around to get a look at whoever was holding him, growing cold when he eyed two nude, identical white foxes sitting on the floor, watching him.

"Oh gods, it's... you. The loyalists she captured!"

The two foxes blinked in unison. There was something unsettling about just how similar they were. One spoke up to break the creepiness of their complete twin-like demeanor, "We are Mistress Izumi's foxes. Not loyalists."

"We were told to comfort you while Mistress prepared. You were so cute, sleeping in our arms like that!" the other giggled, swishing his big, fluffy tail behind him.

"B-But you were... You were a cat! No, maybe a mouse. I can't tell anymore, but you weren't a..." Kai eyed the window, which was now bolted shut. The Countess wasn't stupid enough to give him that way out again, and even if she had, he'd freeze to death without proper garments to protect him from the cold.

The foxes just looked at one another, his words meaning nothing to their subjugated minds. The one on the right smiled and crawled forward, prompting Kai to inch away from his approach, "There's no need to be afraid. Mistress only wants what's best for you."

"Like hell she does!" Kai kicked at the fox, chasing him back a few feet, "Stay away from me! You're... different! Not right! You've been cursed or enthralled or... The Countess is a witch! Don't you see that?"

The fox pouted and rejoined his twin, sitting cross-legged and staring across the room at the bunny, "Mistress will decide what to do with you. Until then, you will remain here."

Kai sighed and curled up in a corner, hugging his knees to his chest and looking around the room. The only way out was through the door, and there would certainly be guards posted there to prevent his escape. He was stuck... for now. He'd simply have to figure a way out before he was turned into a mindless fox.

Speaking of foxes, the two across the room were still staring at him. Pale, glassy blue eyes watched him ceaselessly. It was more than a little disturbing, and Kai decided to break the awkward silence with some conversation, "So um... I'm Kai. What are your names?"

"We don't have names yet." the one on the right said with a smile, "When Mistress has time, she will name us, as she does for all her foxes."

"Until then," the one on the left continued, "We are merely 'boys'."

"All her..." Kai's eyes widened. How many people had she done this to? How many mindless fox slaves wandered the halls of this palace at any given time? Most importantly, how was she keeping all this hidden from the chapel hunters?

The sound of footsteps at the door quelled any idea of pondering those questions. Countess Izumi stepped inside without a word to her guards, shutting the door behind her and glancing to her two foxes, "Where is he?" she watched them point to the corner, turning slowly and smiling down at Kai, "Well now, what are you doing way over here? Were my boys mean to you? If so, I'll have to punish them."

Kai didn't answer, quickly turning his head to give her no chance to mesmerize him with her tails. This left him unprepared for her more physical display of power; she grabbed him by his shoulders and lifted him seemingly effortlessly, carrying his squirming, struggling body over to her bed and dropping him onto his back. With a quick gesture, she ordered her fox boys up to the bed with her, having them restrain his arms while she sat across his legs like before.

"Let me go! Get off!" Kai whined and struggled, but nothing could pry the foxes away from his arms, nor could he manage to push the kitsune off his legs.

"You've got a lot of fight in you. Far less than the loyalists who became my latest servants." Izumi grinned and pet her boys' ears, the two slaves rumbling out in unison at the affectionate touch, "You'll be so fun to break..."

"You see? She turned you into slaves! Don't you even care about that?" Kai knew he was grasping at straws at this point, trying to convince two utterly ensnared victims of witch magic to try and find some reason to resist the ecstasy that now undoubtedly filled their empty heads. But what more could he do?

"We love Mistress." one said with a happy little murr.

"Mistress gave us purpose. Our purpose is to serve." the other nuzzled the kitsune's petting hand with worshiping adoration.

Izumi giggled, her lips curling into a victorious, almost mocking grin as she gazed down at Kai, "See how happy they are? You can be this happy, too, you know. All you have to do is submit."

That word... "submit". It sent a rush through his body, reminding him of the chant in his head. "Obey. Submit. Obey. Submit. Obey. Submit." More and more words were added as she took him deeper, as she toyed with his vulnerable mind. "Obey. Submit. Relax. Obey. Submit. Relax. Give in. Obey. Submit. Relax. Give in. So weak."

Kai felt a tingle between his legs, and before he could do anything to suppress it, an erection was sliding out from his furry sheath and rising up just in front of Izumi's waist. He blushed furiously and squeezed his eyes shut, wanting so badly to just stop existing. Humiliation on top of fear and helplessness. Gods, he felt pathetic.

"Aww, there's no need to be embarrassed, little bunny." the Countess grinned and shrugged one shoulder, then the other, letting her loosely-tied kimono slip off her delicate arms and slide down to her waist, revealing a perfect set of C-cup breasts, pink nipples already excitedly perky.

This display did nothing to help calm the shy, fearful rabbit. He squirmed around to try and free himself once more, but to no avail. He was trapped between three foxes, naked and with a quickly-growing hard-on. His eyes fell upon Izumi's breasts and remained there for several long moments. Every part of her seemed to possess this mesmerizing quality, and the longer he stared, the more it seemed ok to do so. His breathing began to steady, though still in deep, excited gasps as his cock grew harder and stood at attention. It was only when the Countess took hold of his member and gave it a squeeze that he awoke from his breast-induced daze and cry out in pleasure, arching his back and gazing up at her with desperate eyes, "Please stop... I'll do anything, just please let me go..!"

"I already told you, little bunny." Izumi's tails fanned out behind her, tiny sparks beginning to flicker at their tips, "You've already seen too much. You'd go straight to the hunters and send them on my trail... and I've worked far too hard to let my legacy be destroyed by some fanatical priests."

Kai whimpered and let out a defeated sigh. She was right, of course. There was no way he would be able to keep this a secret. He'd go straight to the chapel and warn them, and the Countess would be dead by the end of the week. As much as he hated it, she was absolutely right in her assumption and decision to keep him here. At least, from her point of view. The bunny tried to avert his gaze from her brightening tails, but it was too late. The mesmerizing blue flames appeared again, and he was instantly transfixed.

"Remember from before, boy. Remember how nice it is to submit. To obey, submit, relax..."

"...give in." Kai finished the thought, his eyes once again glazing over, a mindless smile forming along his lips. She had reinforced these sensations of pleasure in his mind and associated them with that commanding chant. All she had to do was recite one part of the verse, and he would be locked in an endless loop of mind-melting pleasure.

"That's right, my good boy." Izumi slowly slid off of him, her glowing, shining tails curling around his body and lifting him into her lap with surprising strength. Those long, fluffy tails coiled around his arms, legs and waist, relieving the two slave foxes of their restraint duty. Izumi's four unoccupied tails continued to float and bob around in the air, still glowing with those enticing flames, "Relax, my sweet bunny. It's time for you to embrace your true purpose."

Kai gasped and squirmed when he felt her hand around his cock again, slowly sliding and stroking over his sensitive flesh, bringing mindless, helpless moans from his throat. He felt so good, so peaceful and so needy. The fleeting bits of fear within his mind were quickly being swallowed up under a haze of lust and pleasure. He panted out his response, tongue lolling to the side as he lost all sense of dignity, "Please... give me purpose..."

The Countess grinned at this, curling her tails further around his body. She used her free hand to pinch a nipple, bringing a sharp gasp from his lips, her voice reassuming that commanding tone she'd displayed earlier, "Accept me as your Mistress, and I will do just that."

The tiny bits of resistance left within Kai's mind seemed to scream at his weakening subconscious. "Don't give in! Don't say it! Don't let her win!" they seemed to say, begging the mesmerized parts of his mind to fight, to resist. They were little more than noise at this point. With a mindless smile, Kai murmured the one word that would seal his fate, "...Mistress."

Izumi laughed a low, arrogant laugh, squeezing his cock again to reward him, holding her glowing, mesmerizing tails close to his face and flooding his mind with their hypnotic power, utterly crushing the tiny specs of resistance that remained and blanking out all thoughts except those she implanted, "Say 'please Mistress, give me purpose'."

"Please Mistress, give me purpose..!" his eyes went wide as those lights drew in closer, a little tendril of drool trickling down his muzzle. The world outside of his Mistress faded away. She was all that mattered now. She, who would give him purpose.

The kitsune stroked his cheek gently, gazing into his eyes with her powerful amber stare, framed by those enthralling tail flames. She gave a satisfied nod, stroking his cock firmly for a few seconds before once again leaving him craving more of her touch, "Very well. I believe you have earned it."

"Oh, thank you Mistress..." an overwhelming sensation of joy joined the absolute ecstasy that already overfilled his mind. He would have purpose. True purpose, given to him by the only person in the world who mattered to him.

"Hold still now, my boy. The first step to attaining purpose is perfection... and to be perfect, you must be improved. Only Mistress knows how to truly improve you." Izumi's glowing tails touched themselves to his body, and Kai began to feel a little strange. The blue flames turned into orbs of pure magical energy, still shining in that luminous blue color. It tingled where it touched, and as the energy seeped into Kai's fur and skin, he began to... change.

His pitch-black fur glowed and brightened, turning all the shades of gray before ending at a pure white. This effect radiated outward from the kitsune's tails, a tingling warmth following in the wake of the new fur color, making Kai whimper and squirm in her grasp.

"Shhh, hold still." she reminded him, constricting her tails tighter around him to emphasize. She slowly, ever so slowly "painted" him with that energy, her tails sliding down his arms, across his ticklish belly and producing giggles, up the arch of his back, altering his dark fur to match her own pure white coat. The effect began to bleed out from the spots her tail touched, spreading over his fur like ink and lightening the entire tone of his body. Izumi smiled and kissed his muzzle, murmuring encouraging compliments to keep him placated, "See how pretty you're becoming? You're going to look like Mistress. And Mistress is perfect, right?"

"Mistress is perfect." Kai breathed out the answer in a happy sigh, bowing his head as one of her tails brushed up and over his cheeks, painting them in the same brilliant white as the rest of his body. The kitsune topped off his head and his ears, making his hair a lighter shade of gray to match her other boys.

"That's right. And you will be perfect, just like Mistress' foxes." Izumi slowly began to uncurl her tails from his arms and legs, filling his limbs out with that beautiful white color and checking her work for thoroughness, "Mmm, not bad... In fact, I'd say your palette change is complete. You are one step closer to perfection, boy."

"Thank you, Mistress." Kai felt a surge of pride rush to his head. To be even close to his Mistress' perfection was a dream come true. He moaned out again as her hand retuned to his cock, stroking and squeezing, coaxing gasps and huffs from his lips.

"I think I'll save this little detail for last." she gently flicked her finger over the tip of his member, giggling at the needy whimpers that followed. Her tails went back to work, coiling firmly around his upper body and beginning to glow from tip to base, "Now that you've been properly colored... it's time for some remodeling..."

Kai felt his body grow warm, soft, almost liquid-like as she worked her magic over him. His lithe, thin body began to expand a bit, putting on muscle tone and shaping out his almost feminine frame into something more fitting of a male. His arms thickened slightly, as did his chest and midsection, the curve of his hips growing more subtle. Delicate hands were reshaped into vulpine paws with a firm grip, little black nails extending from the tips. The whole procedure made him feel lightheaded and weak, but as he felt himself solidify again, he could immediately sense the strength in his new core, giving an experimental flex to his new muscles.

"Do you like them?" Izumi asked, her tails moving higher up his body and beginning to mold the upper part of his chest to a more masculine shape.

The answer was obvious, of course, and Kai was all too eager to announce it, "Yes Mistress..!"

"Good." she cooed, breathing into his ear as she whispered, "We're about half-way done. Not long now until you experience perfection."

Kai resisted the urge to squirm with excitement, holding himself still for his Mistress. He shut his eyes as he felt her tails coil delicately around his neck, head and face, enveloping him in their soft, fuzzy embrace. That softening feeling came again, and he could feel his muzzle being stretched out, lengthened and pointed slightly. He could feel his teeth growing sharp, little bunny tongue growing long, flat and wide, and his little button nose growing slightly larger and pointing out in front of his muzzle. The overall shape of his head turned more and more vulpine, ending off with his long bunny ears, which shrank down in length and grew pointed tips, fully converted into fox ears.

"Not much more, now." she unwrapped her tails from his head and poked one between his eyes, making him go cross-eyed for a moment, changing his iris color to a pale blue. Her tails drifted lower, moving down to his lower legs, deciding to save the sweetest spot on him for last, "How do you feel, my little fox?"

"So good, Mistress. So good to be perfect..." Kai's body was alight with tingling pleasure, residual effects of the transformation still exciting his new nerves. He truly felt as if he was ascending to some form of submissive greatness in servitude to a goddess of ecstasy. Gone were the voices that screamed for him to resist, to look away, to run as fast as he could from this witch. Only the chant she had placed within his mind continued to ring within his ears, "Obey. Submit. Relax. Give in. So weak. Obey. Submit. Relax. Give in. So weak."

Izumi's tails went to work on his paws. The long bunny feet decreased in length and grew slightly wider, toes molding together into the foot and then separating again, forming four clawed fox toes on each paw. Soft, textured pads formed along the bottom of his paws to complete their reshaping. Further up, his legs lost and gained some muscle mass in places, balancing the distribution evenly to remove the strong rabbit leg muscle and make him more fox-like. Again, his muscles filled out a tad, providing a healthy helping of masculinity to his former feminine frame. The kitsune grinned when her tails curled upward and around his pelvis, the soft fur caressing his bubbly butt and needy cock, "This is the last bit we have to change. Tell me, boy, what is your name?"

"It's Kai, Mistress." the bunny-turned-fox tried so hard not to buck his hips against those sinfully soft tails, his eyes wide with need and desire as he gazed up into his Mistress' amber ones.

"Not anymore." she said, cupping his chin and treating his subservient mind to a hard, powerful stare, "You are 'boy' until I decide to give you a name. Understand?"

"Yes Mistress." Kai needed no convincing. His name slipped from his mind just as easily as everything else had when she'd stolen his will away. "Boy" was more than good enough, so long as he could remain in his Mistress' good graces.

"Such a good boy you are." the kitsune vixen grinned, and without further ado, she began to work that last bit of magic on his body to complete his transformation. His bubbly bunny butt shrank a little, becoming less bouncy and slightly more firm to the touch. His tail, short and poofy, lengthened and grew outward until it poked out from between Izumi's own tails, ending in a pointed tip. She worked a little more on his hips to match them with her work on his lower body, then focused on the grand prize.

Kai--or rather, boy--gasped out loud as one of her tails slowly coiled itself around his cock, starting at the base of his fuzzy balls and ending at the tip of his member. That tail took on the familiar glow of her magic, and the boy's nerves came to life. He couldn't help but squirm and writhe as the tingling reached his genitals, producing an effect akin to a near-constant climax, dragging moan after moan from his lips. He couldn't cum until she was finished, though, her magic preventing him from releasing the quickly-building pressure within. His breaths became ragged, labored, quick. He needed to cum and had no way of doing so... and his Mistress sure was taking her time.

Izumi was having a ball, grinning a playful grin as she tormented her new slave. Her tail slowly reshaped her boy's sheath into that of a canine, filling out his plump ball sac and then focusing all her attention on that cock. The base grew thicker and more sensitive as a knot formed, the flesh growing slightly wider all around until she reached the tip, which was slightly flattened at the top with a cute little taper at the end. Her tail stopped glowing, and her boy kept squirming. His improvement to perfection was complete.

"M-Mistress... Please..." the newly-made fox begged her, holding tightly to her body and arching his back over and over again, "Can boy cum please..?"

The seductive Countess smirked, slowly laying him down on the bed and tracing a finger over his new, needy vulpine dick, taking a sample of his precum to her lips and savoring it before motioning to her other two slaves, who had sat patiently while she worked on the former Kai, "Finish him."

The twin foxes murred joyously and practically leapt upon the newest boy in the Countess' harem. Their tongues went to work, licking and lapping at his member with enthusiasm. The former bunny arched and moaned out loudly, bucking his hips against their attentions, his gaze never leaving that of his Mistress, who kept a close watch on the whole scene. It didn't take long for him to finally climax, crying out in ecstasy as he spilled seed from his newly-made balls for the first time, making a sticky mess of his brand new fur and collapsing onto the bed after three full loads of vulpine cum had been expelled. He could hardly think of a better way to have his new body broken in. As a matter of fact, he could hardly think to begin with, especially after such a powerful climax.

"Good boys." Countess Izumi said with a smirk, rising from the bed and disrobing briskly, showing off the wide curves of her stunning, perfect form to her new slaves, "Clean him up, you two. I'm going to take a bath... and I would like to have three clean boys ready for round two when I get back."

"Yes Mistress!" the twin foxes called out in unison as she departed for her bath, then quickly got to work on the fox who used to be Kai.

Kai, now drained of all he ever was, could only lay there with a big smile on his face as his fellow servants of perfection cleaned his equally flawless form with their tongues. He loved his Mistress. His Mistress gave him purpose, and his purpose was to serve. That certainly sounded better in his mind than... Oh, what was it he'd originally come here for? Ah, it wasn't important. After all, his Mistress would be back soon, and she sounded eager to try all three of them out. There were far more important things to worry about right now.
