#1 of Black Destiny
This is my first furry story ever... I hope everyone likes it. Please don't use the chars with out my permission, they belong to me.
- * * Black Destiny It just seemed all to...well normal for him. Pushing up the small dark rimmed glasses on his muzzle he gives a small sigh and looked up at the night sky. This night was just the same as any other...nothing had changed in the 4 years sense he had graduated, and he didn't know if things ever would. Jahari stood on the porch of his apartment, the wolf ears on top of his head swiveling to hear both the sounds of the outside and inside his small one bed room apartment. Iron Chef was on...a pork battle between two Chinese style chefs, sometimes that show was the only good part in his day by far. Looking back into the apartment at the clock on his wall he sighed again...he could probably get about 3 hours sleep before work. He did love his graveyard shift, mostly it was the only time he'd even get to talk to another human being, and it seemed like people enjoyed talking to him. He did his job very well, and this is what he did have in mind when he graduated. Sure there were better hours, but something about the late night appealed to him. Stretching and giving a small snort he stepped back into the apartment and closed the glass sliding door behind him. Yep...it was all the same every night...well maybe tonight would be different. "Just made it pup...you know if you are going to have any time to prepare...," Ruko was on another one of his rants...and where did he get off calling Jahari a pup...they were the same age. "Look don't start with me tonight please...I got here didn't I," Jahari said plopping down in his seat and spinning in it before pulling up to his desk, "besides, its better to just go with my gut...now what's the theme for tonight?" The black rabbit shifted in his seat on the other side of the glass and rolled his eyes, "Do you ever read any of the schedules I give you? Its lady's night you know that....geese what am I going to do with you? Anyway your on in a minuet I got all the songs you need just work your magic pup." With a growl the wolf circled one more time in his char and put on his head set...another lady's night wouldn't be so bad. As he listened to Ruko count down in his head set he moved close to the microphone with a little smirk. "Your listening to 102.7WUFF Radio with your DJ and guide J-Dub...tonight is lady's night. Any topic on your mind ladies I'm here to help. Besides that we have your favorite slow jams and smooth jazz on the way so sit back and enjoy the ride. Our first single is from Tim Collins newest jazz album called Jazz Cat...this is "On the prowl..." Yep...this night was just like any other night. He'd listen to peoples problems, give the best advice a minor in psychology can give, and played music that would probably produce new life. It went on like this for the next four hours. He'd play and talk, and in between on the news and traffic breaks he and Ruko would laugh about the last caller...you could really get characters in the midnight hours. With a little less than thirty minuets left in the show Jahari was just about to hang it up for the night when he noticed one more caller on the board. Looking into the next room at Ruko he raised a brow...usually the calls stopped about four am. The rabbit only shrugged, and gave Jahari the signal to take it anyway. "Well it seems we have one last caller for tonight. Alright this little lady calls herself 'the shy one' well Ms. Shy you are on air with J-Dub...what do you want to talk about?" The voice on the other end was so soft, so beautiful but so filled with hurt that it hit the wolf hard to listen to the whole story. From what he could tell the caller was young but not too young...he suspected in her early twenties. She explained her now ex-fiancé had been so abusive, but she'd been with him since they were kids. High school sweet hearts and into a bit of college she was determined to spend the rest of her life with him...only he had other plans. First it was just some things he said, but she chalked that up to the stress of school. She her self had lost her temper a couple of times, but she never degraded him. Soon she was a bitch, a hoar, and he constantly accused her of cheating on him. Only it turned out, that the bastard had slept with someone else, and that someone had the belly to prove it. He gave the whole I'm sorry routine...told her he would never do it again...but soon enough he'd gotten another girl pregnant...it was like she was on an episode of Jerry Springer. Well now she was on her own again, broken and wanting to know how she could ever move on from something like this. Blinking the wolf thought for a moment then looked over at the rabbit who gave him another shrug... "Well ma'am...lets see...there are a lot of things you can do. I would suggest finding a therapist, many people used to think that they were only for crazy people, but now you'd be crazy not to see one. If you hold on the line I can refer you to a great place where you can get all the help ya need to move on. Just hold on the line for a few moments and I will give you the numbers. Well, its time for this wolf to be out, everyone have a great morning and remember...When all else fails...love is always on the way. This is WUFF 102.7, I'm J-Dub...OUT!!" Jahari leaned back in his chair and stretched out, so ready to get out and take a nice long nap when he remembered the lady holding on the line. Quickly pushing the button again he almost barked at the young woman on the other line as he said hello. "Um hello?" came the voice on the other side, "I...thanks for your help...I listen to you every night but wouldn't have dreamed of calling in before now." Looking at the papers on his desk Jahari found the one with 'helpful numbers' on the top, "Its ok, I'm glad you called in, though I'm very sorry you've had to go through what you did. Well, I do have some numbers..." "Actually...um, I'm already seeing a shrink...thank you. I've been having sessions since the first time I found out I was being cheated on. I just needed to talk to someone else...a guy for a change...I think I have a bit of a crush on you..." As she started to laugh he did as well, that's when he noticed the soft barks in her laugh, such joy and pain in that laugh, for some reason it seemed beautiful. "...but you probably get that a lot. I just...well I wanted to meet the man behind the voice. Just to have some fun and meat a local celebrity." Waving buy to Ruko who had had already headed for the door, he thought about the proposition. He hadn't had a date in a very long time, and if they only kept it friendly it might be fun. "Hum...well ok I'll be happy to meet with you. Just name the time place, when I don't have to work of course, and I will be there." He could almost hear the faint whapping of her tail against whatever she was standing next to. When she finally selected a time Jahari suggested the biggest mall in town. Sure it was a tourist trap but it was also a lot of fun to be in. They talked until he looked up at the clock and saw that it was six am...he was lucky the morning show used the other studio for their broadcasts. As she hung up a feeling of total joy ran through him. Finally something had happened...maybe something for the better. Forty minuets later he was back in his apartment, watching the sun rise. This was his time to sleep...stripping down to nothing but fur he threw his cloths on the floor and jumped into his large bed. Laying on his back he smiled and thought about the night's events...and then about her. From what he learned she was a fox wolf mix. At twenty two she was only two years younger than he, and now that he was out from under her ex's claws she wanted to really make something of her life and go to school. Her real name she would not tell him...only to call her Shy...well that was enough for him. His tail wagging between his legs he thought about her, letting is imagination flow, thinking of what would transpire in a couple days. Closing his eyes he dreamed of the date...shopping, eating, just having fun. Maybe...just maybe...heh, yeah something new, he could feel it.
