#2 of Our Kind Just Don't Get Along.


Aeria groaned as she woke to sunlight streaming through the branches of the tree. A few birds chirped high up in the limbs. Her blanket fell around her as she stood and stretched, she reached towards the sky with a heavy sigh, behind her she could smell breakfast cooking all ready.

Rin prodded the fire with another stuck causing the flames to leap. Werand was still sleeping soundly under the blanket, normally he was an early riser but after last night...Rin smirked as she glanced over at him. He deserved the rest. "Breakfast!" she said cheerfully as Vadan shuffled over to the fire, his hair stuck up in several directions. "Gooooood morning!" she said as she held out his plate.

"What's so good about it?" he muttered as he took what she offered. He had woken up several times that night as he rolled over and his blanket had slipped off of him, each time the blanket slipped off he had been woken from a rather pleasurable dream, the dream though kept him from looking in Aeria's direction that morning.

The young cat strutted over her blanket draped around her shoulders, her skirt swaying slightly as she walked. She took her seat opposite Vadan. She didn't look at him as he shifted uncomfortable.

Vadan chewed on his food thoughtfully wondering if he would be more comfortable keeping her in his line of sight or having her sit closer to him. He shook his head. 'I'd rather have her gone' he thought to himself. "I'm going to get some water" he said grabbing the bucket that sat by the fire. He walked off before anyone could answer him. He could hear the sound of the bubbling water as he drew closer. He smiled as he saw the muddy paw prints Aeria had left behind last night. He dipped the bucket into the water and glanced at his reflection. He left the bucket on the banks of the river and poured some water over his head wetting his hair down. The sun caused the water at his feet to sparkle; something a little further out caught the suns light and shone brighter then the water. Vanda's curiosity came over him and he waded in. His paw dipped into the water and he scooped out the object that had caught his eye. "Lucky me I'm not a cat...otherwise curiosity would have killed me" he laughed as he held the wet locket up in the air; it caught the light of the sun again.

The locket was a simple one, it was gold on a gold chain, a name was engraved onto the back of it in a fancy cursive script.

The locket spun in front of Vadan's mud brown eyes and his smile widened as the name passed his eyes. 'Aeria'.

Werand woke his stomach growling.

"Morning love bug" Rin cooed as she seated herself next to him offering a plate of food.

He leaned in and kissed her passionately their tongues wrestling for a moment. They were both smiling as they broke a part and Werand dug into his food.

Vadan lugged the water back, the locket safely inside his trouser pocket. He placed the bucket back beside the fire and reclined on the ground. A smirk slid across his lips as he thought about what he was hiding.

Aeria took her cup and slipped it below the glassy surface of the water. She pulled it out and sipped her water carefully; the smirk on Vadan's face did not go unnoticed. "You look pleased with yourself" she noted.

Vadan turned to look at her, memories of the night came back to him, but that didn't matter, first Aeria wouldn't find out about his dreams unless he told her, and he was far from doing that, and even if she did manage, he had something of hers, she never took off the locket, it was the one thing that she seemed to value apart from herself. "Maybe I am" he said smoothly as he flipped a wet lock of hair out of his eyes as he met hers.

"And why would that be?" she asked coldly, as she stared at him not blinking.

"It's too early for you two to be fighting" Werand grunted as he stood.

"We weren't fighting" Aeria said simply.

Werand eyed her carefully, they both knew that the conversation would have taken a downwards turn at any moment. "Town isn't to far from here" he said as he started pulling on his clothes. "We should be able to reach there by noon."

"Good...we need to restock anyways" Rin said as she finished packing up her sewing kit. After eating her breakfast she had busied herself fixing the tears in the blanket that Werand had created.

The group cleaned up the camp site dousing the fire and making sure it had no chance of restarting before they left.

Werand lead them out of the forest, Rin right by his side, Aeria came next and Vadan brought up the rear. As they walked Vadan found himself staring at Aeria's swaying hips more and more. When they came to an abrupt hault Vadan ran into Aeria knocking her over, her skirt flying up.

Aeria was hit from behind; she fell to the ground for the second time in less then twenty four hours. She hissed as she pulled her skirt down and Rin helped her up.

"I thought cats were supposed to be light on their feet" Vadan said as she glared at him.

She opened her mouth to give a venomous reply but was cut short by Werand. "We've reached town!" He called back to the group.

The three of them walked up next to him and glanced down at the town below, the street was busy with furs shopping, stocking up during the weekend for the busy week that lay ahead.

"Oh Werand!" Rin said excitedly as they reached the street. "Do you think we could stay there tonight?" she asked pointing past him at a small Inn. "I haven't slept in a bed in for-ever" she said drawing out the word making it two words.

Werand knew better then to look at Rin when he answered knowing she would just rope him into it anyways, "We are low on money as it is Rin" he sighed. "But I suppose one night wouldn't hurt" he said as he looked at her.

Rin stood on tiptoe and licked the side of his muzzle with a smile.

~*~

They stood at the front desk. "Two rooms please" Werand said placing the money on the counter.

"Three!" Vadan and Aeria said in unison knowing that if they got two rooms they would be left sharing one.

"Two" Werand repeated firmly in a voice where no one wished to argue with him.

"Yes sir" the timid looking mouse behind the counter said. "Just sign right here" he said as he held out the guest registry.

Werand wrote down a name, it wasn't his name though, if he were to get caught a lot of trouble would stir up, and he didn't want to leave Rin with it all.

"Grunewald Stone?" Rin asked curiously as they walked up to their rooms.

"My father's name" he sighed as he pushed open the large oak door that lead to the room he would share with her.

"Oh" she said softly as they discarded their stuff on the bed. Rin slinked off to the bathroom to take a shower as Werand lay down on the bed with a heavy sigh. One more week and then it was his father's �death day'

"I'm going out" Vadan said walking to the door.

"Why don't you stay out...permanently?" Aeria asked as he opened the door.

"Maybe I will" Vadan growled in her direction before slipping out. He glanced back as the door opened again and Aeria slipped out. He gave her a questioning look.

"It's boring in there" Aeria said with a shrug as she moved past him, her chest brushing up against his arm.

He felt his face flush underneath his fur. He shook his head. "I don't mind sharing my room" he sighed. "I just mind sharing it with her" he said and followed her down the hall.

Once they reached the lobby of the inn they went their separate ways, neither of them had an exact destination so they wandered through the crowed taking in the sights as they did. Vadan found himself staring at a young dancer in skimpy clothing; she was doing a suggestive dance. A group of men had crowded around her and were throwing coins at her feet. She would taunt some of them with her tail as she moved by them.

~*~

"Let me go!" she hissed as they grabbed her arms keeping her from fighting back properly.

"Now now" one of them said with a barking laughter, his stub like tail moving quickly behind him. "There is a reason why there are girls like you" he said with a wide grin, flashing his fangs at her. "and it's to please men like me!" he exclaimed as he grabbed one of her breasts.

She hissed causing him to laugh again. "I like them feisty" he said in a whisper in her ear.

As she tried to jerk out of his and his lackeys grasp the key to her room fell to the floor.

"Oh what's this?" he asked his ears perking up. "Perfect" he grinned as he scooped the key up. "Now I won't have to waste my money on a room!"

His lackey gave a cackle. "Now we can spend more on booze" he said gleefully.

Aeria's nose wrinkled. "You smell like you've all ready had enough" she said still jerking. She gasped in pain, her comment had left him none to happy and he had pulled out his knife and cut her side just deep enough to leave a scar there. The lackey pulled away as his 'boss' thumped him over the head.

"Don't damage the goods you idiot!" he snarled. He took Aeria away and out towards the door of the bar. "If you try anything I'll make sure that the next blade you feel in through your heart." he warned.

Aeria was silenced immediately as she allowed the Doberman to lead her through the crowd and towards the inn.

Vadan saw Aeria with him but took no notice of it. 'She probably sold herself for money' he thought coldly. 'I wonder if she would do me if I gave her money' he thought after a moment. He shook his head furious with himself for thinking of such a thing. Aeria always seemed to be able to produce money after they reached a town, and normally on the first night they were in a town she disappeared for the night. He sighed getting bored of the cramped spaces that he was in and decided to head back to his room.

As he climbed the stairs he spotted Aeria with the man, he all ready had half of her shirt undone and a paw up her skirt. Vadan lifted his upper lip in disgust at the sight. He watched as she opened the door. The two of them entered and it shut quickly behind them. Vadan rolled his eyes and walked past the door and over to Rin and Werand's room. He knocked lightly and waited for a moment before he heard a muffled 'come in'.

He opened the door Werand was sitting up on the bed. "Yes?" he asked looking at Vadan as he collapsed into a chair at the small table in the room.

Vadan shrugged in an answer, not really having one.

"Hello Vadan" Rin said as she stepped out of the bathroom, she had been busy grooming her fur. "Why aren't you busy spending time with Aeria?" she asked with a sly smirk making a slight reference to what she had witnessed him doing be hind the tree last night.

"Because she's busy doing someone in our room" he stated blandly.

"WHAT!?" Rin and Werand flew to the door and were out of it before Vadan understood what had happened. "Where's the key?" Werand growled as Vadan walked out.

"R-right here" Vadan said fishing it out of his pocket. His ears had perked up wondering why Werand was so worked up about it all.

~*~

"Now be a good little kitty" the Doberman growled as he unbuckled his pants. "And please your master...." his pants fell down around his ankles and Aeria saw that his undergarments were all ready wet. She backed away slightly but he was holding onto her by the scruff of her neck and he pulled her forward. With his free paw he pulled his boxers down and shoved his penis in her face. "Suck" he commanded.

Aeria opened her mouth carefully tears streaming from her eyes matting her fur. She saw him as he stroked himself letting out a few low moans as he pulled her closer to it. Precum was coming out and she thought she would throw up.

~*~

Werand finally managed to get the key into the lock after several furious attempts. The door flew open and Werand rushed in, he tackled the Doberman instantly.

Aeria was jerked for a moment, he was still holding onto her fur as Werand nailed him in the side, sending him flying into the wall. She scrambled away as she was let go, her corset like top completely open and her skirt left on the floor.

Rin held the panicked girl for a moment before pushing her into Vadan's arms. "I'll be right back" she said in a rough voice.

Vadan sighed and wondered what was going on. "Wha-" he started to ask as he looked down at Aeria who was huddled against his chest tears still streaming from her eyes. He hesitated for a moment before pulling her into a hug. "Shhhh" he said trying to comfort her. He noticed that she was almost naked. "Uh here" he said shrugging of his jacket and slipping it over her shoulders. "Come on...let's go" he said quietly leading her away from the room and into Werand and Rin's room. Once they were in there Vadan sat on the bed. Aeria sat down next to him still close. She was clinging onto his arm and hiding her face.

"Aeria?" Vadan asked softly as he wrapped an arm around her trying to calm her still feeling confused, but he realized he didn't like seeing her like this. "What happened?"

Aeria sniffed and mumbled something into his chest.

"Aeria...I can't understand you" He said rubbing her back.

She lifted her head and looked him in the eyes. "He tried..." she sniffed. " He tried to rape me." she said as a fresh wave of tears came.

"What?" Vadan asked in slight disbelief.

"He tried to rape me" Aeria repeated wearily.

His jaw was dropped slightly and he found himself struggling for words as he sat there with her. "Wait here" he said carefully removing himself from her grip. He marched out of the room his fists at his side. He burst into the room where Werand and Rin stood with a bedraggled looking Doberman. He marched up to him "you disgust me" he hissed, before they could stop him he had pulled out his pocket knife and sliced off the Dobermans cock.

The Doberman, despite the swelling that had all ready started from his broken jaw, managed to let out a sharp howl in pain.

Rin and Werand were taken back by this and stared at the young Wolf Husky.

"Not even she deserves something like this" He said carefully as he threw the severed ligament to the floor. He turned on his heal and left the room in silence.

Aeria shrunk back onto the bed as she heard the howl of pain coming from the room. She jumped as Vadan came back in; she saw the white fur around his paws was painted with a red sticky looking substance. She shuddered at the thought of what it could be.

He wiped his paws off on his pants before reaching into his pocket. "Here" he said tossing something on the bed. "I found this in the river." His gaze lingered on her for a moment as she reached over and lifted what he had tossed her from the bed.

A small gasp escaped her lips as she saw what it was. She turned and looked at him. "Thank you" her voice was soft.

Vadan just grunted and walked out of the room, closing the door behind himself. "Not even she deserves to be raped" he whispered to himself.
