The lines change daily, the people can't give straight answers.\n\n\\\u003eYou had better luck trying to figure out perpetual motion.\n\n\\\u003eBut according to the people that sent you here, you were supposed to pick up and meet a guide.\n\n\\\u003eAn Aardwolf Anthro, whatever that is.\n\n\\\u003eGet them and have them lead you to wherever you're staying.\n\n\\\u003eHopefully the place has working AC and a shower.\n\n\\\u003eJust looking at some of these people made you FEEL dirty.\n\n\\\u003eWhatever.\n\n\\\u003eYou Pull up to a shitty gas Station and look around.\n\n\\\u003eThey were supposed to meet you here.\n\n\\\u003eThere is no way you're getting out of your SUV here.\n\n\\\u003eThat seems like a good way to get raped by a Hyena or something.\n\n\\\u003eSo you sat in the AC waiting.\n\n\\\u003eYou can see a few passerby's, Humans and Anthros looking over your SUV, and hopefully not trying to size you up.\n\n\\\u003eYour SRM 1216 shotgun sits fully loaded and ready to rock and roll if need be.\n\n\\\u003eAfrica has had its shares of trouble along the way.\n\n\\\u003eAnd a thing that puts you on edge is how every other continent has reports of Anons appearing.\n\n\\\u003eAfrica...doesn't.\n\n\\\u003eThe BHA Suspects that they do appear here with the same frequency as anywhere else, but they get killed by the natives for witchcraft or whatever.\n\n\\\u003eSlight knocking on your driver's side window causes you to jump lightly.\n\n\\\u003eYou look out of it and see...A black Mohawk?\n\n\\\u003eYou roll down the window and peer out and down.\n\n\\\u003e\"Heeelo! Are you Anon?\" The small...thing says with a toothy grin.\n\n\\\u003eBefore you is a...Hyena? No... Too thin and small...\n\n\\\u003eTan fur with black stripes along it, and on top of it's....her head... is a tall Mohawk.\n\n\\\u003eThis is an Aardwolf?\n\n\\\u003eShe's wearing khaki shorts and a black polo, a pistol sitting in a holster at her side.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uh... yes I'm Anon, who are you?\" you answer, your right hand resting on your shotgun.\n\n\\\u003e\"I am Akina! I am your guide here!\" She says in a happy voice with a slight Afrikaans accent.\n\n\\\u003eYou look at her for a moment almost dumbfounded.\n\n\\\u003e\"A Child? Why wou-\"\n\n\\\u003e\"I am NO Child! I am 26 Years old! My species is just... Small\"\n\n\\\u003eSmall was an understatement.\n\n\\\u003eShe was maybe 4 foot tall, with c cup breasts and hips that looked just a bit too wide for her small frame.\n\n\\\u003eIf she was taller she could have put super models to shame.\n\n\\\u003eShe looks left and right quickly then digs into the shorts pockets, then pulls out a piece of paper.\n\n\\\u003eShe hands it to you and you look it over.\n\n\\\u003eThey show her credentials, her name and her age, proving she was your guide.\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright, Come on in, let's get where ever while you fill me in on the details\".\n\n\\\u003eYou notice Akina's Mohawk folds down into a sleek black mane.\n\n\\\u003eHuh, neat.\n\n\\\u003eShe strolls around the land rover, partially out of view because of her height.\n\n\\\u003eThe Passenger door open, and she climbs in with a little trouble due to her height.\n\n\\\u003eHonestly if she were any shorter, she would need a booster seat.\n\n\\\u003eShe might need one anyway.\n\n\\\u003eYou shift the SUV into drive and look over at the small girl.\n\n\\\u003e\"Where to then Ms. Guide\" you say with a small smile.\n\n\\\u003eIt's honestly hard to believe this is a full grown woman.\n\n\\\u003eShe points east and directs you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Follow that road, we can get to the ranch from there\" she says peeking over the dashboard.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod and start driving, the looks you've started getting are cause for concern.\n\n\\\u003eThese people and Anthros do not look inviting.\n\n\\\u003e\"So why did you choose to help us out here?\" Akina Asks, her Mohawk poofing up a bit as she looks at you.\n\n\\\u003eShe has so much hope in her eyes, you don't really want to just say you got forced to.\n\n\\\u003eSo you decide to dodge it.\n\n\\\u003e\"I just want to help there be peace between humans and Anthros\" you say with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eWell that wasn't a lie, you did want to see people get along.\n\n\\\u003eShe smiles at you showing her tiny canine teeth.\n\n\\\u003e\"That's good! Also Floor it! There aren't speed limits here! No one would enforce them anyway!\" she says buckling herself into the seat.\n\n\\\u003eYou do as directed and floor it, sending your land rover speeding down the dirt roads.\n\n\\\u003eDust clouds billow behind you as the red hot sun bakes the Savannah.\n\n\\\u003eAkina laughs happily whenever the SUV bounces a bit and cheers as the world zooms by.\n\n\\\u003eShe was a lively one that's for sure.\n\n\\\u003eAs you drive you can't help but smile at her antics.\n\n\\\u003e\"Ok Ok, turn left! There that dirt path\" she finally says.\n\n\\\u003eYou were a good 30 miles away from the \"city\" you had picked her up in.\n\n\\\u003eTurning the car quickly, you follow the dirt trail.\n\n\\\u003eIf she hadn't pointed it out, you would have driven right by it.\n\n\\\u003eThe trail winds through fields of dirt and dust, large bushes sprout occasionally.\n\n\\\u003eYou were pretty sure you had seen that one survival guy point those plants out.\n\n\\\u003eWhat was his name? He was ironically named after an animal even though he wasn't an Anthro.\n\n\\\u003eWhatever.\n\n\\\u003eThose plants were known for huge thorns.\n\n\\\u003eLarge spires, looking like giant chimneys made of clay stick out of the low Savannah grass like dirty obelisks.\n\n\\\u003eDidn't she say ranch? Where were the animals?\n\n\\\u003e\"What kind of ranch is this Akina?\" you ask as you slow down a bit to look at one of the clay spires.\n\n\\\u003eWhere had you seen these before?\n\n\\\u003eShe smiles at you with her Mohawk popping up and her ears flicking.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's a Bug Ranch! I'm an Insect farmer!\" she says happily as she points to one of the obelisks.\n\n\\\u003e\"Those are termite mounds! I harvest those termites and ship them all over the world for insectivores like me!\" she says happily.\n\n\\\u003eYou turn to her in confusion, only to see her stick out a long tongue at you.\n\n\\\u003eThat tongue was ridiculously long for someone her size.\n\n\\\u003eAll of your what?\n\n\\\u003e\"Aardwolves are insectivores Anon! Bugs are the main part of our diet, soooooo I'm a bug rancher\" she says happily as you pull up to her one story house.\n\n\\\u003eThe house isn't much honestly.\n\n\\\u003eA single story dwelling with solar panels on top.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eShe opens the Car door and gets out more gracefully than you would have thought possible.\n\n\\\u003e\"Home sweet home! You're welcome to whatever here! I have running water from a well, electricity from the solar panels and even AC! Just be sure to use mosquito nets at night\" she says as she unlocks the front door.\n\n\\\u003eAs you walk in, you're actually surprised at how modern it looks.\n\n\\\u003eNo outdated technology, no mud floors.\n\n\\\u003eIf you didn't know any better this would look like a basic North American home.\n\n\\\u003eThis might be a decent Base of operations after all.\n\n\\\u003eYou sling your shotgun across your back as you look around the main room.\n\n\\\u003eA basic house in every sense of the word, but with more modern amenities that you thought she would have.\n\n\\\u003eA living room connected to a kitchen where a small table is, her couch sits in front of a TV.\n\n\\\u003eThere is a hallway to your left that leads to the rest of the house.\n\n\\\u003e\"Always packing heat like that Anon?\" Akina says looking over your shotgun.\n\n\\\u003eYou turn to her in disbelief.\n\n\\\u003e\"You're literally carrying a pistol Akina, I'm just trying to protect myself\" you say in disbelief.\n\n\\\u003eShe grips her pistol and draws it out, then walks to a safe where she stores it.\n\n\\\u003e\"Fair enough, you are kind of a target out here\" she says as she closes the door to the safe and spins the lock.\n\n\\\u003e\"Am I?\"\n\n\\\u003eShe nods quickly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Random human here? You might as well have a target painted on you\" she says before going to her fridge \"You Hungry?\".\n\n\\\u003eBetween the flight and the drive to her, you have to say you were.\n\n\\\u003eBut you don't really trust food out here.\n\n\\\u003eMaybe you could trust Akina's food though.\n\n\\\u003e\"Sure, what do you have\" you say as you unstrap your shotgun and lean it against her safe, ready for you to grab if need be.\n\n\\\u003eNot like you were going to let her take it from you and lock it away.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uhm, I've got Meal worms, Termites, Locusts and some beetles\" Akina says happily from the fridge.\n\n\\\u003eYour stomach tightens up.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uh any like...normal food?\" you ask, hoping against hope.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hmmm? This ish normal food\" Akina answers, looking at you with a mouth full of some sort of insect.\n\n\\\u003eNOPE!\n\n\\\u003eYou had at least planned ahead for food but you had hoped your host would have actual regular food.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uh... I'll pass Akina, thanks, I have some food in the car\" you say as you open her front door.\n\n\\\u003eThis wasn't what you had wanted, this was a backup plan.\n\n\\\u003eBut bugs...those were not quite on your menu.\n\n\\\u003eYou pop open the trunk of the Land rover and Grab your luggage and a Box of MREs.\n\n\\\u003eYea MREs aren't the best in terms of health but they are good enough to eat.\n\n\\\u003e...And are better than bugs.\n\n\\\u003eYou pull your box of MREs into the house along with your luggage.\n\n\\\u003eAkina is sitting at a table in her kitchen, munching happily on some Locusts.\n\n\\\u003e\"Ooo Whatchu got there Anon?\" she says with an insect leg sticking out of her mouth.\n\n\\\u003eYou cringe a bit at the sight.\n\n\\\u003e\"I have some MREs, I'm not really a bug kinda guy\" you say as you set the box on the floor.\n\n\\\u003e\"Where can I put my Luggage and gear?\"\n\n\\\u003eYou shake your luggage bag for emphasis.\n\n\\\u003eThe rest of your stuff was still in the Land Rover, so you would have to make another trip or 2.\n\n\\\u003eAkina swallows quickly and hops to her feet with her Mohawk sticking up.\n\n\\\u003e\"Right! You have stuff! This way!\" She says excitedly, leading you down a hallway.\n\n\\\u003e\"You can put you stuff in here!\" she says leading you to a bedroom.\n\n\\\u003eLooking around, one thing catches your attention.\n\n\\\u003eThere is only one bedroom...And only one bed.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uhm... Akina....Why is there only one bedroom?\" you ask with a bit of confusion.\n\n\\\u003eShe shrugs.\n\n\\\u003e\"Welllllll! I live here alone so I only need one bedroom, we're gonna have to share\" she says happily as she looks up at you.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh and look around.\n\n\\\u003eAnywhere else you could sleep? There is a couch in her front room but it's too small for you to lay down on.\n\n\\\u003eBut then again, it's not too terrible, sharing a room with a small Anthro lady couldn't be that bad could it?\n\n\\\u003eShe looks at you with a happy smile\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright then, beggars can't be choosers\" you say as you set your luggage on the floor.\n\n\\\u003eA small desk with a computer sits in the corner of the bedroom.\n\n\\\u003e\"You have internet out here Akina?\" you ask as she leads you out of the bedroom.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mhm! Satellite Internet though, I have to get the bugs I harvest shipped\" she says as she skips along.\n\n\\\u003eWell, that's not bad at all .\n\n\\\u003eYou make one more trip from the land rover to the bedroom carrying your gear.\n\n\\\u003eAmmo, your laptop, sunscreen, and other stuff for self defense.\n\n\\\u003eNever can be too careful here.\n\n\\\u003eAfter, you sit on Akina's couch and take off your boots then pull open an MRE.\n\n\\\u003eBeef brisket, not the best but not the worst either.\n\n\\\u003eAkina sits next to you, sniffing the air.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hmmmm is that any good?\" she says as she watches you eat.\n\n\\\u003e\"Here try it\".\n\n\\\u003eYou cut off a piece for her to try, but when you present it to her, she shies away.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uhmmmmmm I dunno...Maybe I'll try some later\" she says meekly.\n\n\\\u003eYou shrug and continue eating.\n\n\\\u003eAkina's Mohawk stays poofed up as she watches you.\n\n\\\u003eNot wanting awkwardness, you decide to strike up some conversation.\n\n\\\u003e\"So Akina, Why would you want to help the Peacekeepers?\" you ask as you finish your food.\n\n\\\u003eHer green eyes light up.\n\n\\\u003e\"If the warring warlords stop fighting I can ship more bugs!\" she says excitedly.\n\n\\\u003eBut then her demeanor changes \"Plus...Then they might not have so many cub soldiers... Too many children and people have died for nothing\"\n\n\\\u003eYou frown.\n\n\\\u003eOf course you had heard about child soldiers being use by both sides.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eYou recall some guy a while ago trying to get rid of them with this huge donation thing, but that died as quickly as it started.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod and grab your laptop, and boot it up.\n\n\\\u003e\"Well Akina, hopefully I can do something about it\" you say as you connect to the internet.\n\n\\\u003e\"Whatcha doing Anon?\" Akina says as she scoots closer to you and looks at the screen.\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm letting my higher ups know I'm here and that I met up with you. They are going to get a day set up where I can meet with both of the warlords in a neutral area and try to negotiate\" you say as you type up the message.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eWith a quick hit of the \"send\" button, you're all set and ready to go.\n\n\\\u003e\"So what now Anon? What do we have to do?\" Akina asks as she looks out the window towards the now setting sun.\n\n\\\u003e\"We wait until the peacekeepers message me back with a day and location, then from there try to get them to stop fighting\" you say as you close the laptop.\n\n\\\u003eAkina looks at you happily.\n\n\\\u003e\"Ok! This is exciting! I never have company!\" She says bouncing in her seat, her long bush tail swishing behind her.\n\n\\\u003eCute.\n\n\\\u003eSuddenly she bounces herself closer to you, and looks up at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Oh OH! Anon!\" Why don't you help me tomorrow in harvesting some Termites! That is if you're free! I could always use the help of a big strong man!\" she says looking at you with a big smile and her Mohawk poofed up.\n\n\\\u003eHow can you say no to that smile and those bright green eyes, plus you might learn something.\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright Akina, I'll help out but you owe me\" you say with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eThe two of you talk for a while, long into the night.\n\n\\\u003eYou learn about her.\n\n\\\u003eShe bought this land on the cheap because it wasn't useable as farmland, but it was great for insect farming.\n\n\\\u003eHer parents live in South Africa in Cape hope.\n\n\\\u003eAnd in turn you told her about yourself.\n\n\\\u003eHow you are 2nd Generation Anonymous, and prior Military.\n\n\\\u003eThat you served for years in the American military but decided to leave because you didn't want to do that for a living.\n\n\\\u003eAkina gives a long yawn as she talks about Aardwolves and how the name means earth wolf.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mmmf Anon! We should get to sleep! Long day ahead of us tomorrow!\".\n\n\\\u003eYou stand up and stretch, feeling your back pop satisfyingly in a few places.\n\n\\\u003eAkina smiles at you, showing off her tiny canine teeth.\n\n\\\u003e\"Ooo! This is exciting, come come come!\" she says grabbing your hand in her tiny paws and pulling you to the bedroom.\n\n\\\u003eHastily, she pulls off her Khaki shorts and her shirt, revealing simple white lace panties and a matching Bra.\n\n\\\u003eYou're actually at a loss for words as she starts trying to tug your shirt off.\n\n\\\u003eBut you need to say something!\n\n\\\u003e\"Whoa whoa whoa Akina! This isn't the usual thing strangers do when they meet each other!\" you say as you gently push her away.\n\n\\\u003eShe stops and looks up at you, clearly confused.\n\n\\\u003e\"Whatcha mean Anon?\" she says, cocking her head to the side.\n\n\\\u003e\"I mean, we just met, this isn't the normal thing for people who just met to do!\" you say motioning to her scantily clad body.\n\n\\\u003eShe looks down at herself and then at you.\n\n\\\u003eTo your surprise she smiles.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's OK! Aardwolves usually don't interact with other species and you seem nice enough. Besides! Unless you wanna sleep on the floor outside the mosquito net you're gonna have to get into the bed with me\" She says with her tail swishing behind her.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh.\n\n\\\u003eAs appealing as the floor sounded (it didn't at all) the thought of Malaria was even more unappealing.\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright, fine. You win\" you say as you begin stripping.\n\n\\\u003eAkina makes a happy squeaking bark before trying to help you out of your clothes.\n\n\\\u003eShe might be able to help if she wasn't to short.\n\n\\\u003eWhen at last you're in your preferred undergarments, she bounces on her foot paws happily then slides into her bed and holds the mosquito net open.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on! Come on! Hurry up!\" she says as you get into the bed.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh and lay on you back, looking at the metal circular frame as Akina pushes a button on a remote to turn the lights off.\n\n\\\u003e\"Night Anon\" you hear her say cheerfully.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uh goodnight Akina\" you say with a bit of unease.\n\n\\\u003eOk... This was weirder than you thought.\n\n\\\u003eYou're in a bed with a small Anthro woman who has no concept of personal boundaries.\n\n\\\u003eWhat could go wrong?\n\n\\\u003eWhen you feel her snuggle up to you and put her head on your chest, you wish you hadn't asked.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eBefore long you hear tiny snores from your chest.\n\n\\\u003eUpon closer inspection you see Akina asleep, her tongue partly out as she snores quietly.\n\n\\\u003eWell fuck.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eCould be worse.\n\n\\\u003eSure you can feel her breasts pressed against you.\n\n\\\u003eSure you barely know her.\n\n\\\u003eBut it could be a dude.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh and resign yourself to your fate and close your eyes.\n\n\\\u003eTomorrow will be a whole new adventure.\n\nChapter 2: Where I Live\n\n\\\u003eYou wake up to sunlight in your eyes and a wet spot on your chest.\n\n\\\u003eAkina lays with her head on your chest, snuggled up with her mouth partly agape and drooling on you.\n\n\\\u003eIt was actually pretty cute.\n\n\\\u003eYou don't want to wake her, but the sun does as it rises steadily.\n\n\\\u003eShe stirs slowly, and opens her eyes and blinks a few times.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mooooooornin\" she yawns with a groggy smile.\n\n\\\u003e\"Morning Akina, you drooled on me a bit\" you say as you motion to the drool spot on your chest.\n\n\\\u003eShe simply smiles and poofs her Mohawk up.\n\n\\\u003e\"That's cuz you're comfy! I Love having company over!\" she says happily.\n\n\\\u003eShe slides out of bed and goes to her closet as you go to your luggage.\n\n\\\u003e\"Wear something you don't mind getting dirty!\" she says in a sing song voice.\n\n\\\u003eYou peek over at her and see she is fully naked, picking out underwear while her tail swishes behind her.\n\n\\\u003eBlushing, you avert your eyes and stare into your bag.\n\n\\\u003eA black t shirt and jeans? Simple yet effective.\n\n\\\u003eQuickly you pull on your clothes as you head Akina getting hers on.\n\n\\\u003eWhen you finally look back at Akina, she's wearing a brown shirt and khaki shorts again.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on! Let's eat and get out there!\" She says grabbing your hand as she rushes past you out the door.\n\n\\\u003eHow can something so tiny be so strong? She pulls you along like you weigh nothing.\n\n\\\u003eInto her kitchen she goes, and by extension so do you.\n\n\\\u003eBefore you know it, she's digging through her fridge spouting different bugs at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"I got some Meal worms! Or are you feeling like maybe some kinda eggs and ants?\" she calls out from inside the fridge.\n\n\\\u003eEggs?\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003e\"You have Eggs Akina?\" you ask peeking over her shoulders.\n\n\\\u003eShe backs up a bit and rubs her tail and rear on you then stands quickly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Ant Eggs! Want some?\" she says holding out a container full of what looks like weird rice.\n\n\\\u003eYou shake your head quickly and back up.\n\n\\\u003eShe pouts a bit at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"You're no fun! But uhh... I have rice and OJ! Want some of that?\" she says as her ears fold down and she looks at you concerned.\n\n\\\u003e\"I...I guess I'm not a very good host Am I?\" she says sadly.\n\n\\\u003eYou rub her ears quickly.\n\n\\\u003e\"You're doing fine Akina, I'm down for rice I guess, and Orange juice\" you say, reassuring her \"Where do you get Orange Juice and Rice anyway?\"\n\n\\\u003eHer ears perk up as she pours you a glass of orange juice.\n\n\\\u003e\"When the shipping company I use picks up my shipment, I have them bring me things I can't get here\" She says as she put some rice in a cooker.\n\n\\\u003eOh good, that means you can hopefully get some actual food here.\n\n\\\u003eBut for now MREs will have to do.\n\n\\\u003eCalmly you fish around in your MRE box until you find a breakfast one, settling on \"Hash browns and bacon\".\n\n\\\u003eYou carry it over to the table and sit down across from Akina at her circular table.\n\n\\\u003e\"So Akina...\" you start, only to watch as she gets out of her chair, scoots it over to you and sits down right next to you.\n\n\\\u003eShe then grabs her cup of OJ and plops down into her chair next to you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yeeeeesssss Anon?\" she says with a smile before sipping her drink.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uh...what are we doing today?\" you say as you wait for the rice to finish cooking.\n\n\\\u003eAkina bounces in her seat happily and somehow scoots even closer to you.\n\n\\\u003e\"WE are harvesting termites! I'll show you how and then we can get to it! Plus maybe even get to harvest some locusts too!\" she says excitedly, her tail swishing behind her .\n\n\\\u003eIt occasionally whisks itself along you as she looks up at you with a happy, expectant smile.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod and sip your orange juice.\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright then\" you say calmly.\n\n\\\u003eYou offered to help and what else were you going to do? Sit around all day? Go meet the locals?\n\n\\\u003eScrew that.\n\n\\\u003eThe rice cooker dings softly as you sit back in your chair and look out the window.\n\n\\\u003eAkina, stands and walks over to it, and as you stand to help her, she waves a paw at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Sit! You're a guest I got it!\" she says as she reaches for some bowls.\n\n\\\u003eIt's just now you take notice that... Well everything is shorter in the house.\n\n\\\u003eThe ceilings are normal height, but the cupboards are much lower than any other house you've been to.\n\n\\\u003eIt's a bit odd to see actually.\n\n\\\u003eBut then again she is short so it makes sense to have smaller things.\n\n\\\u003e\"Akina? Why do you have a normal sized bed?\" you ask as she as mixes some of those ant eggs with her rice.\n\n\\\u003eLuckily she spares your bowl the treatment and brings over to you with an enthusiastic skip.\n\n\\\u003e\"Just because it was easier to find\" she says as she carries the rice “Plus if I had a small bed you couldn't share it with me!\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Annnnnd Voila! Rice!\" She says as she sets it in front of you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Thanks Akina\" you say with a nod and begin mixing the hash browns into the bowl of rice.\n\n\\\u003eHer ears flick happily and her tail swishes excitedly behind her.\n\n\\\u003e\"You're Welcome! Hurry hurry! We have a lot to do today!\" she says.\n\n\\\u003eShe begins eating her rice and Ant egg combo quickly, practically scarfing it down.\n\n\\\u003eYou follow suit, eating quickly so you can start the day.\n\n\\\u003eWhen you finish you toss the MRE bags in the trash and she takes the bowls.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on then Rambo! Load up!\" Akina says.\n\n\\\u003eShe strolls to her gun safe and opens it up, pulling out her pistol and holster.\n\n\\\u003eYou look at her, confused.\n\n\\\u003e\"We're going into town?\" you ask, strapping your shotgun to your back with its sling.\n\n\\\u003eShe shakes her head.\n\n\\\u003e\"NOPE! There are some very Nasty feral animals out there! We gotta defend ourselves\" she says matter-of-factly.\n\n\\\u003eFair enough.\n\n\\\u003eYou follow your tiny hostess outside and instantly hate the sun.\n\n\\\u003eIt's like that feeling when you open the oven to check on food, just a wave of heat in your face.\n\n\\\u003eExcept it's EVERYWHERE.\n\n\\\u003eIt's stifling to even breathe.\n\n\\\u003eNevertheless you follow Akina, who seems perfectly fine.\n\n\\\u003eShe leads you to a shed, well more like a small warehouse.\n\n\\\u003eInside it, there are boxes and various packaging things including several with a label that says \"Buggin' Out\".\n\n\\\u003eYou look at them and then to her with a raised eyebrow.\n\n\\\u003e\"What!? I ship bugs! Anyway you get this!\" She says slapping her paw down on a leaf blower looking thing.\n\n\\\u003eWhen you inspect it closer, it resembles a backpack with a wand like the ghostbusters had.\n\n\\\u003eNot the new ghost busters, the old school ones.\n\n\\\u003eYou heft it onto your back, noting how light it was.\n\n\\\u003eAkina bounces on her toes happily, causing her breasts to jiggle slightly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yay! It fits! I never get company to help me out with this!\" she says and she begins grabbing plastic containers.\n\n\\\u003eRight... this backpack thing must be made for her to use.\n\n\\\u003e\"So what is this anyway?\" you ask as she leads you out of the warehouse to an ATV.\n\n\\\u003eAs she skips along to it as she answers.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's a vacuum! You're gonna help me suck them bugs outta their mounds!\"\n\n\\\u003eShe gets onto the ATV then turns it on.\n\n\\\u003e\"Sit! Let's go!\" she commands you, patting the seat behind her on the ATV.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eYou climb on gingerly and sit behind her.\n\n\\\u003e\"Grab onto me silly! Otherwise you're gonna fall off!\" she says revving the ATV a bit.\n\n\\\u003eGently you grab her hips, which are a bit low for you to get a good grip.\n\n\\\u003e\"No no no Get a GRIP!\" she says emphasizing the word Grip and she moves your hands to her chest and therefore breasts.\n\n\\\u003eYou're shocked for a moment, but are snapped out of it when Akina guns it towards the nearest mound.\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright Anon! Get to sucking those termite out!\"\n\n\\\u003eYou grab the wand and look at Akina then the mound.\n\n\\\u003e\"What?\"\n\n\\\u003eShe sets the boxes she's holding down then rushes over to you.\n\n\\\u003e\"OK! So first you turn it on!\" she says as she flicks a switch, causing the machine to roar to life.\n\n\\\u003e\"Then you can use the wand to suck up the termites!\" She shows you how the tip of the wand has a long hose that snakes its way into the mound, sucking up thousands of the insects.\n\n\\\u003eShe cheers loudly as you work.\n\n\\\u003eIts actually kinda fun, each hole you stick the hose into gets thousands of termites, then they swarm to another hole to try and escape.\n\n\\\u003elike a weird version of whack-a-mole.\n\n\\\u003eAkina occasionally stops you and empties the backpack into one of the plastic boxes.\n\n\\\u003eTogether you do this, going from mound to mound.\n\n\\\u003e\"Akina...you do all this by yourself?\" you ask as you walk and Akina drives to a fresh mound.\n\n\\\u003eIt seemed odd to you that a ranch would only have one person running it.\n\n\\\u003eShe stares off into the distance for a bit.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uhmm... Just me! Not many people wanna harvest bugs and my parents are too old to help, and I don't have any siblings\"\n\n\\\u003eShe gives you a smile.\n\n\\\u003eBut you had seen that kind of smile before.\n\n\\\u003eA smile to try to tell you it's all alright but has pain behind it.\n\n\\\u003e\"Well I'm here for now Akina, so let's make the most of it\" you say with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eHer tail flicks happily and she gives a toothy grin.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yea! Come on Anon!\" she says revving the ATV, prompting you to jump on.\n\n\\\u003eShe pulls up to the next mound but her smile falls away from her face.\n\n\\\u003eYou look at the mound and see why.\n\n\\\u003eIts half destroyed and torn up.\n\n\\\u003e\"What did this Akina?\" you ask looking around for the perpetrators.\n\n\\\u003eShe sniffs the air quickly and frowns.\n\n\\\u003e\"Feral Pigs! They keep tearing up my mounds! Come on Anon!\"\n\n\\\u003eYou set down the backpack and grasp your shotgun.\n\n\\\u003eShe guns it and takes off into the brush, following her nose.\n\n\\\u003e\"Get that gun ready Anon! I HATE these piggies!\" she yells over the whipping wind.\n\n\\\u003eYou check the tubes of you shotgun and opt for a solid slug shot.\n\n\\\u003eThe ATV slows to a halt and you both dismount then head into the brush.\n\n\\\u003eAkina leads the way, sniffing quietly and holding her pistol.\n\n\\\u003eQuiet oinking fills the air as you step quietly through the dense African foliage.\n\n\\\u003eAkina points and you follow her paw pads.\n\n\\\u003eA Small group of feral pigs eat at some plants as you nod and level your shotgun.\n\n\\\u003eLooks like male and female pig with a group of piglets.\n\n\\\u003e\"I'll get the big adult male, you get the female\" you whisper.\n\n\\\u003e\"3...2...1...\"\n\n\\\u003eThe shots ring out and the adult pigs fall down dead leaving the piglets scattering.\n\n\\\u003eYou smile and Akina bounces happily next to you.\n\n\\\u003e\"We got 'em! Without the parents those piglets won't be a problem anymore!\" She says, jumping into your arms in a hug, knocking your shotgun out of your hands.\n\n\\\u003e\"Thank you thank you Anon! No more Pig problems!\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eYou actually have to smile at her excitedness.\n\n\\\u003eAnd the thought of Pork made your mouth water slightly.\n\n\\\u003eAs you and Akina approach the kills, you see they were eating some kind fruit but that doesn't matter to you.\n\n\\\u003eThe male was about 40 lbs. and the female 30 lbs.\n\n\\\u003eHmmm must've been juveniles.\n\n\\\u003e\"What do we do with these now?\" Akina says with a frown, kicking the female pigs body lightly.\n\n\\\u003eYou bend over and grab the male's hind legs.\n\n\\\u003e\"How about I treat you to some American BBQ? You're being such a good host after all\" you say with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eAkina looks from you to the pig with a bit of concern.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uhh....ok! Let's tie this piggy up\" She says, dashing over to the ATV.\n\n\\\u003eThankfully she had a small length of rope, you assumed for tying down her termite containers.\n\n\\\u003eThe pig took up too much space on the ATV to also get the containers of termites, so you both decided to make a few trips.\n\n\\\u003e\"OK so! You start getting the piggy ready for eating and I'll get the termites we farmed up!\" Akina says happily.\n\n\\\u003eShe revs ATV and in a flash you're both heading back to the House.\n\n\\\u003eHer cheerful Squeaking barks make you smile as you trek back to her house.\n\n\\\u003eWhen you arrive you pull the pig off the ATV, then she speeds off with a \"Be right back!\"\n\n\\\u003eShe has a table set up beside her warehouse with a few chairs where you decide to work.\n\n\\\u003eYou head inside and grab one of the knives you packed for this excursion into Africa.\n\n\\\u003eTwirling the blade between your fingers, you step back out into the sun and are surprised to see the sun hovering just above the horizon.\n\n\\\u003eHow long had you and Akina been getting termites? You had lost track of time.\n\n\\\u003eEither way, you get to butchering the pig as Akina drives back and begins putting the containers full of termites into her warehouse\n\n\\\u003eShe finishes far before you do and circles you as you cut up the pig carefully.\n\n\\\u003e\"What ya doing, how does that part work?!\" she asks like a small hyperactive child.\n\n\\\u003eIts was actually quite cute to see someone so interested in something so mundane.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eSo you explain what you're doing as you pull out the innards and drain the blood.\n\n\\\u003eAkina takes a big interest in the innards.\n\n\\\u003e\"Gimme those! I can use them to farm up some maggots! I don't eat them but people will pay big money for them!\" She say grabbing a large plastic bucket.\n\n\\\u003eYou shudder at the thought of eating maggots but oblige, placing the gore into it.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eShe then takes a piece of fine mesh and places it over the top of it.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003e\"The flies won't be able to get to the meat so they will lay their eggs on the mesh! We can set this bucket out tomorrow\" she says happily, placing the bucket in her warehouse.\n\n\\\u003eWhatever makes her happy.\n\n\\\u003eWith the pig butchered, you set about making a fire-pit. Luckily there is plenty of dry wood around from Akina's termites\n\n\\\u003eBefore long you have a small bonfire and you place a metal grate over the blaze, held up but a few pieces of metal.\n\n\\\u003eAs you place a few cutlets of the meat onto the grate, Akina is peeking around your back sniffing cautiously.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mmmm it smells good Anon... Lemme get some sides!\"\n\n\\\u003eYour pint sized host runs into her house, leaving you to tend to the meat.\n\n\\\u003eAfter about 20 minutes she reappears carrying a plate of Locusts.\n\n\\\u003e\"I Made Cajun Locust fries! They should go good with this piggy!\" she say excitedly, shoving the plate into your face.\n\n\\\u003eyep, those are Locusts.\n\n\\\u003eYou carefully and delicately push the plate away from your face.\n\n\\\u003e\"Well uh... Thanks, those look....\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eYou look at her smiling face and see her eyes so excited that you can't bring yourself to really say what you think.\n\n\\\u003e\"They look good Akina\" you finally say.\n\n\\\u003eYour hostess bounces happily causing her breasts to jiggle then lets out a happy squeaking bark.\n\n\\\u003e\"YAY! I'm so excited!\" She says happily dancing around you and the fire.\n\n\\\u003eYou smile as you go inside and feel a bit of relief from the AC as you grab 2 plates for the food.\n\n\\\u003eWhen you step back out into the fading sunlight, Akina is waiting eagerly, her Green eyes watching your movements and reflecting the firelight.\n\n\\\u003eYou pull off a piece of the meat onto a plate and give it to her earning a high pitched howl of excitement, then grab yourself a piece.\n\n\\\u003eYou sit at the table and she scoots her chair next to yours then slides the plate of locusts to you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on Anon! Try them, I'm trying your American BBQ\" She says before taking a bite out of the pork to emphasize the point.\n\n\\\u003eShe then gives you a happy smile and pokes the plate of locusts a little closer to you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Tryyyyyy it\" She whispers at you with a big smile before biting into her cut of pig.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh, then pick one up and look at it.\n\n\\\u003eIt was covered in the Cajun spice from the US...\n\n\\\u003eAs well she was trying the food you made so might as well...Right?\n\n\\\u003eYou bite into it and chew quickly.\n\n\\\u003eHonestly it only tastes like old bay seasoning and chicken, albeit more crunchy.\n\n\\\u003eYou eat the rest of the locust and look at Akina, who beams at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's good eh!?\" she says wiggling in her seat happily and scooting closer to you.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's not bad\" you say with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eThat wasn't even a lie, you had eaten worse during your military service.\n\n\\\u003eThe both of you eat and watch the sun set.\n\n\\\u003eIt's actually one of the more peaceful and calming evenings you've had in a while.\n\n\\\u003eFresh air, a light breeze, good company.\n\n\\\u003eYou finish eating and so does Akina, who rubs her stomach happily.\n\n\\\u003e\"MMMM that was tasty Anon! Can you put the rest of the piggy in the fridge in the warehouse?\" she asks.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod and grab the remaining uncooked pieces of meat and carry them into the warehouse.\n\n\\\u003eA quick look around and you see a fridge tucked away in the corner.\n\n\\\u003ePulling it open reveals several types of bugs and what appears to be earthworms.\n\n\\\u003eYou aren't even surprised.\n\n\\\u003eYou carefully stash the meat in her fridge then go back out to Akina, who is bouncing on her footpaws waiting for you.\n\n\\\u003eAs soon as you're within reach, she grabs your hand in her paw and pulls you along.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come come come! We gotta get clean then go to bed! We have another long day tomorrow!\" she says dragging you into the house.\n\n\\\u003eThe cool air is almost a shock to your system as you step inside.\n\n\\\u003eBut you don't have time to think about that as Akina pulls you into the bathroom.\n\n\\\u003e\"Shower time!\" she says happily.\n\n\\\u003eBefore you can even react, she begins tugging her shirt off.\n\n\\\u003e\"Whoa whoa whoa Akina Wait!\" you say shielding your eyes.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hmm? What's wrong Anon\" you hear her say.\n\n\\\u003e\"Shouldn't we shower separately? This isn't a normal thing people do together\" you say, feeling your face turning red.\n\n\\\u003eYou hear impatient claws tapping her floor tiles.\n\n\\\u003e\"We need to save water AND it's ok because we're friends!\" She says tugging on your arm.\n\n\\\u003eYou let her pull your arm away and see her looking up at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"We are friends right?\" she pleads, looking up at you with her green eyes.\n\n\\\u003eHope fills them as she looks at you with a small smile.\n\n\\\u003eIt should be illegal to be this cute.\n\n\\\u003eYou just can't say no to that smile and those big green eyes.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yes...we're friends Akina\"\n\n\\\u003eShe wraps her arms around you and poofs up her Mohawk.\n\n\\\u003e\"I knew it! It's ok then! Besides I could use your help washing my back and tail!\" she says before she continues stripping.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh and begin pulling your clothes off.\n\n\\\u003eOccasionally you take a peek at Akina, admiring her body.\n\n\\\u003eWell-toned Muscles under her fur wear easily visible and her wide hips were breathtaking.\n\n\\\u003eShe peeks over at you and smiles.\n\n\\\u003e\"Good you're ready for a shower! Gimme your clothes I'll put them in the washer while YOU get the shower ready!\" she says snatching up her own clothes.\n\n\\\u003eYou do as directed and give her your clothes then watch as she pushes open the bathroom door and disappears from view.\n\n\\\u003eWell might as well get a shower started.\n\n\\\u003eTurning on the water, you place under the bath faucet and test the warmth.\n\n\\\u003eCarefully you adjust it so that it's a temperature to your liking.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eAkina reappears in the bathroom and smiles.\n\n\\\u003e\"Guests first!\" she says gesturing to the shower.\n\n\\\u003eYou try not to look at her body as you get in.\n\n\\\u003eTry not look at those shapely breasts, try not to stare as her wide hips.\n\n\\\u003eYou step into the water and let it roll over your skin for a moment before you move aside for Akina.\n\n\\\u003eShe steps into the warm water and a lets her fur soak and the dirt from the day wash away.\n\n\\\u003eWith the water soaking her fur, you really can see that she is extremely fit.\n\n\\\u003eHuh, guess running an insect ranch alone will do that.\n\n\\\u003e\"Don't just stand there Mister! Help with my tail and my back!\" Akina says, pressing a bottle of Mr.Worldwides Anthro shampoo into your hands.\n\n\\\u003eWell alright then.\n\n\\\u003eYou add a liberal amount into your palms and start with back and scrub it gently, digging your fingers through her soft fur.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's so nice to have company! I hate being out here alone...\" Akina says as she lathers up her mane.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod, even though she can't see it and continue helping her clean her back, you have to bend down a bit to fully get her tail though due to her height.\n\n\\\u003eAfter a little bit she turns around and puts her hands on her wide hips.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hmpf how rude of me! I should have cleaned you first! Turn around mister!\"\n\n\\\u003eYou do immediately, noting her head was just the right height for...\n\n\\\u003eNO! Don't think like that! She's your guide!\n\n\\\u003eYou feel her nipples against your lower back and tiny paws begin rubbing your back, spreading suds all over.\n\n\\\u003eQuickly, you busy yourself with scrubbing your body and hair.\n\n\\\u003eSure its Anthro shampoo but whatever it'll get you clean.\n\n\\\u003e\"This is fun Anon! Your skin is so smooth! I Like it\" Akina says rubbing a paw across your back.\n\n\\\u003eYou freeze for a moment and then relax.\n\n\\\u003eNothing sexual about that... just an Anthro who lives alone and probably hasn't seen a human before.\n\n\\\u003eBreathe deep, relax, She's just being friendly.\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm all clean Akina, let's get dry and head to bed\" you say, savoring the feeling of soaked fur against you.\n\n\\\u003eYou had grown up with Anthros, after all you were 2nd generation anonymous.\n\n\\\u003eBut you had never bothered getting to know them better.\n\n\\\u003eYour mother had been transported to this world from the other one.\n\n\\\u003eShe found love with a local human.\n\n\\\u003eAnd as such, you were used to having human parents but only dealing with humans.\n\n\\\u003eYour mom even spent the extra money to send you to a human only private school.\n\n\\\u003eWas she a speciest? You would never know because she died years ago.\n\n\\\u003eBut when you were young you never cared.\n\n\\\u003eHuman...Anthro... As long as you got along with them...who cared?\n\n\\\u003eAnd right now did you care?\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eAkina has her soaked fur pressed against you as you reach and turn off the water.\n\n\\\u003eCalmly you grasp a towel and wrap the smol aardwolf up in it, helping her dry herself with a few pleasurable high pitched barks.\n\n\\\u003eShe snuggles against you as you help her dry off, your broad hand pressing the towel against her fur.\n\n\\\u003eBetter you handle her than she handles you.\n\n\\\u003eHer cuteness is adorable.\n\n\\\u003eWhere all female Anthros this cute?\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eYou had never really been around them.\n\n\\\u003eSure a few Males during your military service but nothing like this.\n\n\\\u003eEven when she lets outs few happy high pitched barks and her tail wags against you, you feel unease.\n\n\\\u003eBut when you feel her warm damp fur lean against you.\n\n\\\u003eThe pure trust of those bright green eyes and the snuggle she brings forwards as she wraps her damp arms around your waist.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on Anon, bed time\" She says, a happy smile crossing her muzzle.\n\n\\\u003eIn a way, you can't help but feel a bit happier as the eager aardwolf leads you to her bed and sets-up the mosquito-net up around you both.\n\n\\\u003eIt was like a shield to the outside world and all that matters inside was her.\n\n\\\u003eBut why would you feel this for her? You barely knew her.\n\n\\\u003eWas it because she was different? A wildcard in the sea of random human woman? Or because she was the only one genuinely caring and friendly?\n\n\\\u003eWide green eyes, full of hope and promises of things to come.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anon, I've missed company, thank you\" she says with a yawn and snuggling against you.\n\n\\\u003eShe calmly nuzzles into your chest and begins breathing deep.\n\n\\\u003eIs she snoring?\n\n\\\u003eDid she really fall asleep that quick?\n\n\\\u003eIt felt odd to be snuggling a near total stranger while naked.\n\n\\\u003eBut it also felt warm and peaceful.\n\n\\\u003eYou close your eyes and listen to the wilderness outside and think about your job.\n\n\\\u003eAnd curse when it was over and you would have to leave....\n\n\\\u003eBut that is a thought for another day.\n\nChapter 3: Heartburn\n\n\\\u003eDays have gone by quickly as you helped Akina at her Ranch, checking on the termite mounds, seeing if they were ready for harvest or just leaving different types of woodchips around for flavoring.\n\n\\\u003eGranted this isn't what you were here for, but it gave you something to do.\n\n\\\u003eAnd the delivery day was today.\n\n\\\u003eThat is the day that the Shipping company would come and pick up Akina's bug shipments, as well as bring her food and drink from all over.\n\n\\\u003eYou had been surviving on MREs and the wild pig you killed, but GOD you needed a bit more.\n\n\\\u003eSure, you were occasionally eating the bugs Akina offered you, but there was a point where you had to draw a line.\n\n\\\u003eAlthough, she was able to cook up locusts pretty good...\n\n\\\u003eRight now though, you were in her little warehouse, helping her count up the boxes of termites, locusts and maggots.\n\n\\\u003eYea, the maggots were a bonus for her you guess.\n\n\\\u003eThe pig guts you weren't gonna eat attracted the flies she wanted, and she was able to harvest them.\n\n\\\u003eThings don't gross you out easily, but the smell of rotting flesh was disgusting.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anon! Help me move these boxes!\" Akina cries out to you, breaking your mental tangent.\n\n\\\u003eYou shake your head, brushing aside the random thoughts and rush over to her, finding her struggling under the weight of several boxes.\n\n\\\u003eQuickly relieving her of several of the boxes, you shoot her a questioning look.\n\n\\\u003e\"Why would you try to carry this much Akina?\u0026nbsp; I doubt you can carry it\" you say as you look at the labels.\n\n\\\u003eShe answers as you begin sorting out the boxes to their respective places.\n\n\\\u003e\"Having you around is a blessing!\u0026nbsp; You're bigger than me, so I try to work harder to keep up\"\n\n\\\u003e\"You're gonna hurt yourself, don't push it Akina\" you say calmly, moving the boxes.\n\n\\\u003e\"You might drop a box and release a bunch of these bugs\"\n\n\\\u003eShe smiles half hearted at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"You promise it's ok that you're doing so much work?\" she says as she carries a box to the pallets for shipping.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod with a smile.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's the least I can do for you Akina, besides all if I didn't help, all I would do is sit around waiting for the peacekeepers\"\n\n\\\u003eShe gives you an uneasy smile and looks like shes about to say something, but is interrupted by the sound of high pitched beeping.\n\n\\\u003e\"OH!\u0026nbsp; The trucks are here! Come on!\" She says, brushing aside your earlier conversation.\n\n\\\u003eThe roll-up door opens as Akina pulls it up with a chain, revealing a few 18 wheelers.\n\n\\\u003eA few men, well, anthros, stand there waiting.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey Akina! What do you have for us today?\" An anteater anthro says happily, looking at her with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eFigures.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hi Jeff! I got Termites, Locusts and Maggots! You got stuff for me and my friend?\" She says happily, showing the boxes to the group of truckers.\n\n\\\u003e\"Friend?\" one says, looking around.\n\n\\\u003eThey spot you and frown a bit.\n\n\\\u003eFrown? Why?\n\n\\\u003eThe ant eater however is totally unfazed.\n\n\\\u003e\"We got it for you!\" he says happily.\n\n\\\u003eHe disappears for a moment into the back of his truck and reappears with a pallet of various goods.\n\n\\\u003eThe pallet jack he has strains audibly as the pallet of various foods is presented to Akina.\n\n\\\u003e\"Little bit strange seeing you order ground beef, but seeing as you have a helper now...well, I guess that's normal\"\n\n\\\u003eAkina might not pick up on it but you do, there is a sense of disappointment in his words.\n\n\\\u003eEven as you look at the other truckers, you see them disheartened.\n\n\\\u003e...Why?\n\n\\\u003eHappily, Akina bounces around the pallet looking at the foods and other things.\n\n\\\u003e\"Perfect! Anon, help them load up all this stuff! I'll start getting all this stuff into the house!\" She says as she gets a pallet jack out of the corner of her warehouse.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod quickly and begin helping the truckers load up the bugs.\n\n\\\u003eHonestly they probably could have managed just as well without you, but still they seemed to appreciate it.\n\n\\\u003eBut as you walk into the back of the truck with a few boxes, the anteater, Jeff you think his name was, attempts to corner you.\n\n\\\u003eYou push past him, eager to get to the food, but he calls out to you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey now Human, I got a question for you\"\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh and turn back to him in annoyance.\n\n\\\u003e\"What?\" you say with a slight frown.\n\n\\\u003e\"Now why you here buddy? Best not be taking advantage of lil' Akina!\" he says frowning, well you can't really tell if he has a frown or not \"She's our lil' girl and we aim to keep her happy\"\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm here on business, that's all\" you say, turning and walking away.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yea well, you best take good care of her while you're here!\" he calls after you.\n\n\\\u003eYou think of the Pistol Akina always has strapped to her ample hip.\n\n\\\u003eYea, she really needed you to take care of her.\n\n\\\u003eBut with that you leave the truckers to do their thing, not like this was your job anyway.\n\n\\\u003eYou head inside and find Akina happily storing food in her fridge.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anon! I didn't think you would be done so quick! look at all these meats and stuff! Do you really need to eat this much?\" she says holding a package of bacon.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod and begin helping put the food away.\n\n\\\u003e\"They didn't really need my help, and I like a variety of foods, tonight I'll make you a special meal for being so nice to me, and yes I eat this much\" you say as you store some beef jerky on the upper shelves of her cabinets.\n\n\\\u003eHer ears perk and her Mohawk Poofs up adorably.\n\n\\\u003e\"Awww I'm just happy to have you around Anon! You don't need to make something special!\" she says happily before hugging you around the waist.\n\n\\\u003eShe's a hugger it turns out, every time you give her praise or well, do anything, you get a hug.\n\n\\\u003eIt was adorable, although it did get a bit awkward when you were showering with her.\n\n\\\u003eWell, not awkward for her, more for you.\n\n\\\u003eFeeling her furry breasts and nipples poking against your stomach was, invigorating, for lack of a better word.\n\n\\\u003eYou don't know if she was doing it on purpose, or if she was just so innocent and unaware that she just thought of you as a non-sexual object.\n\n\\\u003eBut something in you kept you smiling at her happy innocence.\n\n\\\u003eYou busy yourself with helping put the food away, as well as the extra goods.\n\n\\\u003eAnthro shampoo, ant eggs, extra boxes for packaging and even some body wash for you.\n\n\\\u003eBefore long, one of the truckers pokes their head into the dwelling, looking for you and Akina.\n\n\\\u003eHe frowns when he sees you helping Akina.\n\n\\\u003eA frown of disappointment? Like he expected you to be holding her down and raping her so he could come to her rescue.\n\n\\\u003eYou frown right back because fuck him.\n\n\\\u003eAkina, of course is oblivious to him frowning at you, but that doesn't matter.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey Raffy! You guys all done?\" She says in her usual cheerful manner.\n\n\\\u003e\"Raffy\" Frowns at you one last time, then looks at Akina with a warm smile.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yep we're all done out here, and hey lil' missy com'ere a sec\" He says beckoning her to him.\n\n\\\u003eShe walks over to him in a cheerful bouncing step with a simple \"What's up?\"\n\n\\\u003eHe leans to her answer whispers something into her ear, which she recoils from.\n\n\\\u003e\"What? Why WOULDN'T I be safe with Anon? He's really cool and helpful! Who cares if he is a human?\"\n\n\\\u003eThe trucker looks at you, alarmed, like you would somehow pull out a machete and chop his head off.\n\n\\\u003eInstead, you give a sigh and look at him in disbelief.\n\n\\\u003eAkina continues berating the trucker.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anon is helpful and good company and has helped me so much! Don't you be mean to him!\" she squeak barks at the trucker, who looks genuinely alarmed that Akina would yell at him.\n\n\\\u003eHe nods furiously with a \"Sorry sorry Ms. Akina!\u0026nbsp; We'll be going!\" then scrambles out the door, leaving you alone with Akina once more.\n\n\\\u003eShe has an angry scowl painted on her muzzle as she looks out the window at the Offending trucker.\n\n\\\u003eWhen at last the trucks drive off down the dirt driveway of Akina's ranch, she turns to you and gives a sad smile.\n\n\\\u003e\"Sorry Anon... He asked if I would be safe here alone with you...Humans and Anthros don't quite get along very well in these parts\" Akina says, looking up at you.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod slowly and give her a warm smile.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's fine Akina, the warlords here have been stressing the relationships between Humans and anthros anyway, but that's why I'm here\" you say, beckoning Akina into the kitchen once more.\n\n\\\u003eShe follows you with a slight skip and then wraps her arms around your waist as you grab a few ingredients and begins making dinner for the two of you.\n\n\\\u003eWhile it is a bit of a hinderance to work with the tiny aardwolf attached to your side, there was no way you could complain about it\n\n\\\u003eWhy would you anway?\n\n\\\u003e\"What're making Anon? I've never had this stuff before\" she says from your side, looking at the ground beef you're forming into patties.\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm making us some burgers, an Old American tradition, and I suppose a bit of a stereotype too\" you say as you hold out one of the patties to her.\n\n\\\u003eShe gives it a quick sniff and frowns before looking up at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's not a bug though\" she says, narrowing her eyes at you and poofing up her mohawk a bit.\n\n\\\u003e\"You don't have to eat bugs all the time Akina, come on, you know what a burger is, they are really good\" you say as you lead the small aardwolf to the fridge.\n\n\\\u003eYou open it up and peer inside, seeking a few alcoholic beverages to ease the grip Akina has on your side.\n\n\\\u003eTruthfully, you aren't looking forward to leaving your guide behind.\n\n\\\u003eYes, you wanted to leave Africa behind, who wouldn't? AIDS, malaria, botflies, and just shitty people in general.\n\n\\\u003eSeriously who would want to stay in a place where they thought white people were evil wizards?\n\n\\\u003eEven if you weren't white, black or any mix of those, who couldn't see that this place was a mess.\n\n\\\u003ebut you didn't want to leave Akina to deal with any of those problems, she deserved better.\n\n\\\u003eWell, Akina didn't see the problems, but you suspect that just because she was so engrossed in her bugs.\n\n\\\u003eHonestly, she had close to no hobbies besides working on her ranch.\n\n\\\u003eWhile you had to admire her dedication to her work, it was also quite sad.\n\n\\\u003eall this land, all this friendliness, and it was wasted on bugs.\n\n\\\u003eYou almost frown as you grab 2 beers from her fridge and pop that caps off them.\n\n\\\u003e\"Special treat Akina! Beer from Germany! The good stuff!\" you say with a smile, giving a bottle of dark beer to Akina.\n\n\\\u003eShe parts from you, letting you go from her tight grip and grab the beer with both paws, only to stare at it with uncertainty.\n\n\\\u003e\"I just uh... drink it?\" she says, looking at you as you take a deep swig from your bottle.\n\n\\\u003eYou can't help but chuckle at that innocence.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yes, you just drink it Akina, its good\" you say before taking a quick sip from her bottle to show its safe for her to drink.\n\n\\\u003eHer eyes light up and she grabs the bottle and starts chugging it quickly, holding the bottle between her tiny paws.\n\n\\\u003eAfter about 20 second, she sets the empty bottle down and gives a content sigh.\n\n\\\u003eDam she just put just about every college frat boy to shame.\n\n\\\u003e\"Ooo that WAS good! Gimme!\" she says happily, before grabbing your bottle and beginning to drink deeply from it.\n\n\\\u003eYou don't even try to keep it from her as you click on some music with your phone. Sure, the internet was slow, but it still allowed for some music streaming.\n\n\\\u003eShe was cute, gripping to bottle that looked a little too big for her tiny paws, yet giving you some relief from the constant clinging from the tiny aardwolf.\n\n\\\u003eYou take the momentary release from her to grab a few slices of cheese and another beer for yourself.\n\n\\\u003e\"Good huh?\" you say as Akina puts down the glass bottle that was formerly yours with a satisfied \"Ahhhh\"\n\n\\\u003eShe poofs up her mohawk and gives you a quick frantic nod.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's SO good! I've never had beer or alcohol before!\"\n\n\\\u003eYou can't say you're totally surprised at that statement, after all she probably never went to college, never had that experience of freedom from her parents.\n\n\\\u003eTo you it looked like she left her parent's house, only to quickly start up this ranch.\n\n\\\u003eYou sip from your new beer, keeping it up on a shelf away from her tiny grabby paws, pondering it all.\n\n\\\u003eEventually your own curiosity takes hold.\n\n\\\u003e\"Say Akina, you've lived here and supplied bugs for the world, but have you seen anywhere else in the world?\" You ask as you turn on her stove, watching the electric coils start to glow red underneath a frying pan.\n\n\\\u003eShe grabs herself another bottle and drinks deep before answering; her mohawk fully poofed up as she answers you.\n\n\\\u003e\"No... No...Just here, my parents said no one else would care about us insectivores, so...I just did this instead\"\n\n\\\u003eYou frown as she talks, feeling a bit of sadness for her.\n\n\\\u003eWhat was it like to grow up not knowing your own dreams and desires? Or rather, simply ignoring them.\n\n\\\u003eSure, there was the freedom of wondering \"what am I going to do in life\" but at the same time, what if that's not what you wanted to do?\n\n\\\u003eYou recall a seeing a show of a man who was an 8th generation hotel owner in Japan.\n\n\\\u003eWhat if he never wanted to own that hotel?\u0026nbsp; What if he wanted to be a UFC fighter, or an author or a policeman? Instead he had to be what his family asked.\n\n\\\u003eThe pity you felt for him and by proxy for Akina, was unreal .\n\n\\\u003eAt that point your life is not your own, at least that's what you thought.\n\n\\\u003eYet here was Akina, small and very clingy, but happy regardless, albeit lonely.\n\n\\\u003eYou could feel that loneliness in her when she snuggled against you at night, Clinging to you like you were going to disappear in a puff of smoke, and when she tried her hardest to always be in physical contact with you throughout the day.\n\n\\\u003eEven worse was the thought of leaving her behind when this job was done; you had suspected that she joined the peacekeepers and offered up her home as a guide simply to have some company.\n\n\\\u003eBut for now, you push those thoughts out of your head as you cook a burger for the tiny, eagerly waiting aardworlf.\n\n\\\u003eWith one paw grabbing your waist and the other holding a beer bottle, she watches intently as you cook for you, occasionally sniffing the air.\n\n\\\u003e\"It... It smells good Anon, but I'm not sure I wanna try it\" she says, looking up at you with a concerned frown.\n\n\\\u003e\"Tell you what Akina, you try this, and I'll do anything you ask ok? Any bug you want me to try, or dig up a new termite mound, just trust me ok?\" you say, looking down at her as you flip the burgers calmly.\n\n\\\u003eHer green eyes light up as she looks up at you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anything?!\" she says with a bit more excitement than you anticipated, in fact it caused you a bit of concern with how she answered.\n\n\\\u003eBut she wouldn't ask the impossible right? She understood there were somethings you just couldn't do.\n\n\\\u003eYou hoped she understood that when you agreed.\n\n\"Anything Akina, just eat up with me and let's enjoy our time together\" you say as you tend to the food.\n\n\\\u003eShe nods happily and sips her beer, all while wrapped around you.\n\n\\\u003eHer mohawk stays poofed up as she sips her drink and watches you cook.\n\n\\\u003eOccasionally you see her nostrils flare up as she sniffs the air happily, interested in what you're doing and what you're making.\n\n\\\u003eBefore long, you finished the burgers for the both of you and the patties slide off the frying pan onto a plate in front of your tiny hostess.\n\n\\\u003eSure, you could have barbecued them for her, but this was a new enough thing for her to eat, so having just a basic burger was, in your mind, the best choice.\n\n\\\u003ePlus, it was hot as fuck outside.\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright Akina, dinner is served\" you say with a smile as she eyes the platter you have set out.\n\n\\\u003eIt's nothing special really, burgers, buns and some left-over bacon from those boars.\n\n\\\u003eAkina doesn't eat vegetables, so it was no use trying to convince her to try some, but the spread you have set out in front of her has captured her interest and her tiny sniffing nose.\n\n\\\u003e\"It....It smells good Anon! Is this what America is like?\" she says, preparing a smaller burger for herself; you had made different sized burgers, some for you, some for her.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod as you prepare a burger for yourself, noting how Akina still sniffs the food with a bit of apprehension.\n\n\\\u003e\"America is uh... like anywhere else, despite the ravings otherwise, people just want to be happy\" you say with small smile\n\n\\\u003eShe looks up at you, torn away from her burger to focus on you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Even you? What would make you happy Anon?\" she says as she separates from you to pick up her plate and go to her tiny kitchen table\n\n\\\u003eThis question gives you pause.\n\n\\\u003eYou always knew the \"normal\" lifestyle of your generation wouldn't make you happy.\n\n\\\u003eGo to school, get a job you hate, get married and have some kids you don't even like.\n\n\\\u003eWhy? Because society said so?\n\n\\\u003eNah.\n\n\\\u003eYou joined the military to skip that, then the peacekeepers to avoid it even more.\n\n\\\u003eAkina didn't need to know that though.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod slowly \"all I want, is to do what I like\" you say with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eSure, there was no real feeling to that smile, but she didn't need to know that.\n\n\\\u003e\"Me too Anon\" she says before looking at the burger on her plate.\n\n\\\u003eAll of her previous enthusiasm fades away as she looks at the burger.\n\n\\\u003e\"Are... are you sure it's ok to eat?\" she says as she pokes the buns with her eyes narrowed, like the burger would attack her.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod and look around, noting a bag of pretzel sticks she ordered for herself as a snack.\n\n\\\u003eYou pull open the bag despite Akina's little outburst of \"Hey!\"\n\n\\\u003eCalmly, you grab a few pretzel sticks and shove them into her burger to make tiny pretzel legs, making the burger look like some strange insect.\n\n\\\u003e\"Viola, it's a bug\" you say with an exaggrated flourish of your hand.\n\n\\\u003eShe scrunches her nose at you in a silent laugh as you roll up the pretzel bag and set it aside.\n\n\\\u003e\"Fine! I'll munch it but! BUT! I'm making Cajun locusts for a side\" She says letting go of you to get some food from her fridge.\n\n\\\u003eHer tiny frame moves nimbly, going from her fridge to one of her cupboards as she cradles a tupperware container of locusts.\n\n\\\u003eYou watch as her hips sway and her body moves her along.\n\n\\\u003eSure, she's small, but her body was amazing, it would put Aphrodite to shame; despite her tiny frame, Akina's wide hips always leave you awestruck.\n\n\\\u003eAny other guy would love her body.\n\n\\\u003eBut you aren't there for her, you had a job to do here in this sunburnt continent.\n\n\\\u003eAlthough other thoughts about your tiny aardwolf guide sometimes distracted you from that.\n\n\\\u003eYou found yourself gazing at her tiny wondrous body as she dug through a termite mound to check on the queen.\n\n\\\u003eAnd often in the mornings, she would be pressed against you, one of her short legs wrapped around yours, words didn't describe the feeling.\n\n\\\u003eAt first it was awkward, sleeping in the same bed as a tiny woman.\n\n\\\u003eBut now it was a welcome feeling, one of...something... but it was something good.\n\n\\\u003eYou watch as Akina happily prepares the Cajun locusts, humming along with the music playing while swishing her tail side to side with the beat, all while sipping her beer.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eAdorable to say the least.\n\n\\\u003eShe places a baking sheet of locusts covered in some spice blend you don't know in her oven before looking down at her clothes.\n\n\\\u003eShe was wearing her usual, a black shirt and khaki shorts, which were both a bit dirty from moving boxes and being out in the dusty savannah.\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm gonna change into something more comfy!\" she says finally, looking up at you with a determined look.\n\n\\\u003eQuickly, the small canine dashes out of the kitchen, leaving you to sit down and listen to the music playing while you slowly eat your burger and savor your beer.\n\n\\\u003e\"Make sure the locusts don't burn\" you hear her call out.\n\n\\\u003eHow were you supposed to know when locusts burn? the smell?\n\n\\\u003eYou shake off that and eat slowly, thinking about Akina, the trucker and the job you had to do.\n\n\\\u003eWhat would these warlords be like? How receptive would they be to your peace talks?\n\n\\\u003eAll things that made this job dangerous.\n\n\\\u003eIf they got into an all-out brawl while you were there, what would you do? Run? Fight?\n\n\\\u003eShould you bring Akina? She was your guide, but what if there was fighting?\n\n\\\u003eSure, she carried that pistol and could use it...but it takes a certain mindset to use a gun against a person.\n\n\\\u003eIt takes thinking of them not as a person, but as something else.\n\n\\\u003eA threat, an insurgent, a thing; doesn't matter what you think of them as you aim and pull the trigger.\n\n\\\u003eCould she get into the headspace? Were you willing to put her in that situation?\n\n\\\u003eThose thoughts about Akina are broken by the small Aardwolf herself as she pounces from around the corner into your lap.\n\n\\\u003e\"YAY! Best Chair!\" she cries happily, snuggling against you.\n\n\\\u003eYou look down seeing the bright green eyes looking at you happily as she not-so-subtly grabs your bottle of beer in her tiny paws.\n\n\\\u003eShe's wearing one of your t-shirts, a few sizes too big for her, yet being ample coverage for her tiny body.\n\n\\\u003eA smile crosses your face and she sips from the bottle, rocking side to side with the beat of the music while she waits for the locusts to finish their cooking.\n\n\\\u003eSure, she stole your beer (again), but you don't mind as you smile at her, feeling her soft tail swish against you.\n\n\\\u003eIn fact, now that you think about it all, you needed the company from her as well.\n\n\\\u003eYou joined the peacekeepers right out of the military, determined to no longer be a soldier but a man to bring peace, not war.\n\n\\\u003eBut in your determination to save the world from itself, you forgot about yourself.\n\n\\\u003eSure, you had been in relationships, but they feel by the wayside as you pursued your dreams.\n\n\\\u003eIn the end, you were a man who was filled with success in his dreams, but empty in terms of everything else.\n\n\\\u003eNo family, not any that counted anymore anyway, not wife or even girlfriend.\n\n\\\u003eJust you going to remote locations to try to broker peace amongst people who didn't want it, but want nothing more than their own goals fulfilled and the \"enemy\" left with nothing.\n\n\\\u003eTo your chagrin, most of these peace talks ended in more war, as both side of whatever conflict thought their enemy would give infinity while they gave an inch.\n\n\\\u003eThe oven timer beeps suddenly, letting both you and Akina know her \"fries\" are done.\n\n\\\u003eShe slides out of your lap, which lifts your shirt up slightly revealing she has no panties on underneath it.\n\n\\\u003eOut of instinct, you look away.\n\n\\\u003eSure, you had seen her naked but still, it's impolite to stare, and this was different.\n\n\\\u003eYet her tail keeps the shirt lifted a bit, letting you see her lightly furred slit and ass.\n\n\\\u003eIt was impossible not to look in that split second, and you can almost hear Akina's sly smile as she bends over to pull her fries out of the oven.\n\n\\\u003e\"What's wrong Anon? Something you saw?\" she says coyly.\n\n\\\u003eWhy the sudden shift in dynamics?\n\n\\\u003e\"Nothing Akina\" you say still looking elsewhere.\n\n\\\u003eYour burger! Focus on that! Not the tiny seductive woman in front of you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Oh ok!\" she says as you hear a baking sheet hit her stove and a weight against your lap.\n\n\\\u003eAkina has once more sat in your lap and it is looking up at you, her tail hiking up your shirt that was draped around her.\n\n\\\u003eShe grabs her burger from her plate and begins eating it.\n\n\\\u003eHer tail brushes against you as she grinds side to side with the beat of the music.\n\n\\\u003eHer tiny body snuggles against you as she eats, no longer complaining about how different the burger is from her usual food.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh contently and attempt to get your beer back from her, only to have her grab it up in her paws and drink the rest of it before giving you a happy smile.\n\n\\\u003e\"This food is SO good Anon! is this what all American food is like?\" she says, spinning around and straddling you.\n\n\\\u003eYou feel her lower lips spread slightly against your thigh and she shivers slightly.\n\n\\\u003eblood rushes to your face and you try to avoid eye contact with her, and she leans forwards, pressing her breasts against you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Uh Yea it's all good\" you say looking away.\n\n\\\u003e\"What's Wrong Anon? you're blushing\" she says with a knowing smile.\n\n\\\u003eThis little Mohawk cheeto.\n\n\\\u003e\"it's just you're being awfully seductive tonight Akina, I'm not used to you doing stuff like this\" you says, favoring being direct over coy.\n\n\\\u003eyou look at her and she gives a smile, before burying her head in our neck.\n\n\\\u003e\"Oohhhh Anon, you're so nice and such good company, can you leave me with a treat at least?\" She says nuzzling into your neck with her muzzle.\n\n\\\u003eHer words are accompanied by slight grinding and wrapping her legs around you.\n\n\\\u003eHow do you react to this? Reject her advance? Accept it? Delay it?\n\n\\\u003eDelay!\n\n\\\u003eWhile sure Akina was a great host and sexy as hell, cold you bring yourself to do anything with her, knowing you had to leave?\n\n\\\u003eNo...\n\n\\\u003e\"Akina, you just aren't thinking straight from the beer, let's get you to bed\" you say calmly, scooping up the tiny aardwolf in your arms.\n\n\\\u003eShe gives a slight giggle as you carry her to her bed.\n\n\\\u003e\"Oooh my hero! So virtuous!\" she says as you lower her into her bed.\n\n\\\u003eWith those words, she wraps her arms around your neck and her legs around your waist.\n\n\\\u003e\"But ready for me to take him\" she says, locking her ankles behind your back.\n\n\\\u003eYou struggle in vain to get her off you, until you hear a soft whisper from her.\n\n\\\u003e\"Please Anon, I need this, I just want to feel loved...\"\n\n\\\u003eYou feel your heart break a little from those words.\n\n\\\u003e\"Akina, tomorrow if you still feel the same when you wake up, then its ok\" you say calmly, arguing against your rising erection.\n\n\\\u003eYes, she was sexy; Yes, she was fun; Yes, you wanted her; and even if she cried rape, here it wouldn't matter.\n\n\\\u003eBut you cared about this tiny woman too much to do this to her.\n\n\\\u003eThe walk to the bedroom is quick as you carry her.\n\n\\\u003eYou feel her nuzzle into you, her paws feeling your skin under your shirt and her tail swishing side to side.\n\n\\\u003e\"Promise?\" she says worriedly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Promise\" you say calmly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Ok then\"\n\n\\\u003eWith that you lay next to her, causing her legs to slowly unwrap from around you and to just having one leg over your calf as she begins to snore softly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Maybe she'll forget about this\" a part of your brain says softly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hopefully she won't\" says another part more loudly.\n\n\\\u003eAs you lay next to her, you see your laptop blaze to life on the bedside table.\n\n\\\u003e\"In 2 days, you will meet the local warlords Nasa and Kub, at this location\"a message says, showing a map with a highlighted spot.\n\n\\\u003eYou frown as you look at it, then look to the small snoring aardwolf.\n\n\\\u003eHow long these negotiations went determined how long you got to stay with Akina.\n\n\\\u003eCould you draw them out longer to stay with her? you're sure you could.\n\n\\\u003eA sudden realization hits you as you lay in the bed looking at Akina.\n\n\\\u003eYou were willing to extend a war to stay here with her? why?\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eMaybe it was because you were slightly buzzed from the beer.\n\n\\\u003eYou chalk it up to that and shut the laptop, then snuggle into Akina, pulling her body against yours and earning you a content sigh.\n\n\\\u003eDo you want to leave? Yes. Leave this continent and this sunburnt world.\n\n\\\u003eDo you want to leave her?\n\n\\\u003e.... No.\n\n\\\u003eHer soft snores and the feeling of her fur against you are the last things you feel.\n\n\\\u003eBesides a small bit in you, that hurts in your heart.\n\n\\\u003eA bit telling you not to leave\n\n\\\u003eNo... Just a bit telling you not to leave her.\n\nChapter 4: Stay with Me\n\n\\\u003eSunlight pours through the window, making you angrily squint your eyes as you wake up.\n\n\\\u003eSo much for waking up peacefully.\n\n\\\u003eAn odd weight is on your chest and pelvis as you blink your eyes slowly then rub the sleep away from your eyes.\n\n\\\u003eToo hot!\n\n\\\u003eWhy are you so hot?\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eAlso, what is this uncomfortable weight on you?\n\n\\\u003eSure, Akina likes to sleep snuggled up but this was more than that.\n\n\\\u003eYou throw the covers to the side and see Akina.\n\n\\\u003eHer face is buried in your crotch, her knees are on either side of your chest and her tail is raised, showing her glistening wet pussy and quivering asshole.\n\n\\\u003e\"Ooo you're finally awake!

She really wanted you like that?\n\n\\\u003e\"A-Akina?\" you call out only to have her tail stop wagging.\n\n\\\u003eYou feel tiny paws rubbing up and down your morning wood as she waves her ass side to side happily.\n\n\\\u003e\"What do you meeeeea-\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eYour words are cut off as you feel a warm tongue lick the head of your engorged cock.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mmmm Just like I Imagined, I woke up and saw this monster and couldn't let it go to waste\" she moans she her tiny paws pump up and down your shaft.\n\n\\\u003eYou can't see her head past her warm wet pussy in your face, but you feel wetness envelope your manhood and a long wet tongue attempt to wrap around your shaft.\n\n\\\u003eDo you fight this?

The \"Space of AIDS\" and Ebola!\n\n\\\u003eOther than being with Akina there was no plus side.\n\n\\\u003eYou would rather a small space in the US Midwest, tending to a ranch there.\n\n\\\u003eHere, you didn't worry about the large animals.\n\n\\\u003eYou worried about the people; the Anthros who hated humans, that would find you here with an Anthro, torture you and rape her till she was dead.\n\n\\\u003eOr the humans that hated Anthros who would kill her and rape YOU till you were dead.\n\n\\\u003eBecause AFRICA!\n\n\\\u003eBut here with her you were secluded and away from everything.\n\n\\\u003eMaybe you could stay here with her.\n\n\\\u003eIn the meantime, you run your fingers through her Mohawk, earning happy small yips from her.\n\n\\\u003e\"I'll think about it Akina, but understand it's a big life choice\" you say with complete honesty.\n\n\\\u003eLeaving behind your life in the US would be a huge choice, sure this country didn't even regulate immigrants (because who would wanna move here) but also you would need to end the lease on your apartment, leave the peacekeepers, Etc.\n\n\\\u003eA ton to do for someone who you've known less than a month.\n\n\\\u003eBut then again you do miss the rains down in Africa....\n\n\\\u003eShe lets out a sad little \"Hmpf\" but snuggles into your neck regardless.\n\n\\\u003e\"You're the only person who doesn't see me as some child, and you're just so nice\" she says, her Mohawk poofing up and brushing your chin.\n\n\\\u003eHeh you would never get used to that you guess.\n\n\\\u003e\"And youre nice too Akina\" you say Absentmindedly as you continue you to pet her.\n\n\\\u003e\"We have so much to do today, so many chores I don't wanna do\" She sighs unhappily.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on then you little Cheeto, let's get ready for the day and knock those chores out, plus we have to meet the warlords tomorrow\" you say as you give her one last pet and slide out of her bed and the mosquito netting.\n\n\\\u003eAs you start getting ready to turn to see Akina still in bed, still naked and looking at you, and her ears folded against her head and a sad look on her face.\n\n\\\u003e\"T-tomorrow? Already?\" she whimpers softly, looking at you.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod as you pull on a pair of pants.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yea tomorrow, and this is just the first meeting, sometimes these negotiations can take months, so don't worry, I'm not going anywhere for a while\" you say calmly.\n\n\\\u003eShe lets out a small sigh of relief \"More time to convince you to stay then! But for now! We have to tend to the Termites!\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eShe happily bounds out of her bed and like a small fuzzy whirlwind gets ready, throwing on her usual outfit.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on! let's eat and get going!\" she says bounding out of the bedroom.\n\n\\\u003eHer enthusiasm is amazing and a bit tiring.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eAs you follow her, you notice her hips swaying a bit more than usual.\n\n\\\u003eWas she shaking them more? Or were you just not noticing it? You also notice thin line of fabric running over her shapely hip bones.\n\n\\\u003eHer underwear? What was it they called that? A whale tail? Was she seriously wearing a thong? And how did you not notice that?!\n\n\\\u003eYou tear your eyes away and busy yourself in the fridge, preparing breakfast.\n\n\\\u003eNo need for anything fancy, Rice and a few eggs with garlic powder.\n\n\\\u003eYou learned a few things abroad and it was a great meal that was easy to prepare.\n\n\\\u003e2 eggs, 2 cups of rice and a bit of soy sauce and garlic powder; good for an on the go person like yourself and easy to make.\n\n\\\u003eAkina has toast with Ant eggs mixed in the butter.\n\n\\\u003eYou eat together, with her basically latched onto your arm.\n\n\\\u003eThrough the day of giving different types of woodchips to the various termite mounds, she barely lets you go.\n\n\\\u003eEvery time you looked at her, you could basically see little hearts in her eyes and tiny happy yips constantly.\n\n\\\u003eIt was extremely cute although a bit distracting.\n\n\\\u003eThe day flew by, you and her, working, snuggling and her hugging you constantly.\n\n\\\u003eAffection beyond anything you've ever had with any of your previous relationships, with humans or Anthros.\n\n\\\u003eAkina's unbridled want of contact was both amazing and sad.\n\n\\\u003eHow lonely had she been through the years.\n\n\\\u003eYou had read up that wild Aardwolves have tiny packs they forage with, and yet here was Akina, the lone little forager for everyone else.\n\n\\\u003eBecause of that, you didn't push her away; not that you would have anyway.\n\n\\\u003eInstead you would wrap and arm around her earning quiet little \"A-hmm A-Hmm A-hmm a-ahmms\" of happiness.\n\n\\\u003eThe day begins drawing to an end as you help her finish up the daily list of things needed to be done.\n\n\\\u003eFeed the termites, check the perimeter, scare off or shoot any while hogs.\n\n\\\u003eLuckily (or unlucky?) there are no boars for you to shoot and then eat.\n\n\\\u003eTime jumped quickly to you making dinner with Akina, her arms wrapped around you as you prepared an old favorite of pizza, half pepperoni and half termite and chrysalis of some butterfly you don't recognize.\n\n\\\u003e\"OOOO it smells good!\" Akina said excitedly as you pulled the concoction out of the oven.\n\n\\\u003eBugs on pizza... At least it was better than pineapple...\n\n\\\u003eAs you pull it out and check it, she's wrapped around your waist in a happy hug.\n\n\\\u003e\"I've never had pizza before! Is it good?!\" she says, sniffing the hot dough.\n\n\\\u003eYou have to put your hand between her nose and the hot pan to keep her from burning her nose on the hot metal.\n\n\\\u003e\"It should be very good, although I've never made pizza with bug on it before\" you say calmly, checking the underside of the crust to see if it is done enough.\n\n\\\u003eSatisfied with the crispiness of the crust you sit down, and immediately have Akina in your lap snuggled against you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anon, I know you have a life back in the US, but here... we could have enough other and a life of peace\" she says, leaning back against your chest.\n\n\\\u003e\"I know Akina it's just... I'm here got fix a WAR, a literal War between 2 factions, that doesn't exactly say Peace\" you say calmly, putting your arms around her.\n\n\\\u003eShe wiggled slightly, loosening your grip before turning around to straddle you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Once we fix that we have all the peace in the world, no bills, no lack of food, just...US\" she says with a sad smile.\n\n\\\u003eShe was right of course. If you solved this warlord problem, the only thing you would have to worry about is lack of demand for insects to eat.\n\n\\\u003eAnd god dam, Asia never lowered that demand.\n\n\\\u003e\"Let's see how the warlords react Akina, I'm sure if they see a Human AND an Anthro as negotiators they would be more willing to listen, but they still might not want to listen\" You say, thinking about the other failed attempts at peace you had been on.\n\n\\\u003eIt was always like that one muse songs.\n\n\\\u003e\"You always give an inch, while I am giving infinity\"\n\n\\\u003eNeither side wanted to give, neither truly wanted peace; but both wanted to go back to their people and say \"I tried but they rejected it\" to rally their troops further.\n\n\\\u003eYou were sure that was what would happen this time.\n\n\\\u003eBut if you didn't succeed the peacekeepers would either just send you out again, or would put you at a desk job.\n\n\\\u003eYou smile and look down at Akina, whose tail wags happily between your knees.\n\n\\\u003e\"Just think about it Anon, you're fun to have around!\" she says finally, nuzzling into your chest.\n\n\\\u003eYou smile and rub her back gently feeling her soft fur beneath her shirt.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mmmm! One sec! Lemme change outta this!\" She says suddenly, bolting out of your lap and out of the kitchen.\n\n\\\u003eThis again?\n\n\\\u003eWell whatever, might as well cut up the pizza up into slices.\n\n\\\u003eAkina doesn't own a pizza slicer (go figure), so you opt for a regular knife, carefully cutting through the warm dough.\n\n\\\u003eYou don't want to be eating Pepperoni only to have a nice big chunk of butterfly pupae.\n\n\\\u003e\"Readyyyy!\" comes a happy voice and your hit by a small fuzzy missile.\n\n\\\u003eIt nearly knocks the wind out of you, but you look down to see Akina latched onto your side once more, wearing one of your t-shirts again.\n\n\\\u003eOne of your old band T-shirt with the words \"StexKnok\", but it looks much cuter on her than it ever did you.\n\n\\\u003e\"OK Anon! Let's try this pizza!\" the small aardwolf says happily, looking over the pizza and sniffing it earnestly.\n\n\\\u003eYou grab 2 plates and hand her one, earning a small reprieve from the death grip.\n\n\\\u003eShe gets 2 slices of her pizza and waits for you to sit down before bouncing into your lap once more.\n\n\\\u003e\"MMMMMM Smells goooood Anon!\" she praises happily, sniffing deep.\n\n\\\u003eYou feel her scooch slightly back more into your lap, pressing the fabric from her thong into you gently, letting you know it was still there under the loose-fitting t-shirt.\n\n\\\u003eIgnoring it, you pick up a slice of pizza and are about to dig in when her voice stops you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Oh uh.... Anon, one more thing\" you hear.\n\n\\\u003eyou turn back to look at her with an exacerbated look, but instead feel her muzzles meet your lips in a gentle kiss.\n\n\\\u003eHer paw rubs the side of your face gently and she pulls away.\n\n\\\u003e\"I feel I did everything in reverse, Kiss first then blowjob! Not the other way around! I goofed it up!\" she says sadly.\n\n\\\u003eYou hug her close.\n\n\\\u003e\"Its ok Akina, I enjoyed it either way\" You say softly into her ear.\n\n\\\u003eSmall happy Yips are heard from her as she snuggles into you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Let's Eat and get to Bed Akina, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow\" you say as you wrap one arm around her and use your free hand to grab some of your homemade pizza.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mmm! It's goopy and good!\" Akina says happily, poofing her Mohawk and wiggling in your lap.\n\n\\\u003eYou can see the cheese on her piece of pizza stretching as she bites into and tries to pull away.\n\n\\\u003eCute to say the least.\n\n\\\u003eYou bite into your own piece and think about the upcoming day.\n\n\\\u003eMeet 2 dangerous African warlords, establish peace between them and leave.\n\n\\\u003eSounds simple right?\n\n\\\u003eIf only it was that simple.\n\n\\\u003eYou eat in silence, pondering tomorrow.\n\n\\\u003eWhile yes, choosing to stay with Akina was a huge life choice; meeting the warlords might be life or death.\n\n\\\u003eIf either felt slighted, insulted or just outright didn't like you, you were dead; and by proxy Akina was as well.\n\n\\\u003eYou needed to play the Anthro warlord, saying you weren't strictly rooting for the humans, that's why you had Akina there.\n\n\\\u003eAnd Akina would need to play the humans as your opposite.\n\n\\\u003eSomehow you needed to convince both sides that you were out for both of them and not biased.\n\n\\\u003eThe only way to really do that would be to not be either human or Anthro, but of course that was impossible.\n\n\\\u003eAs such you would need Akina there to help talk to the Anthro warlord.\n\n\\\u003e\"ANON!\" you hear her yip, breaking you out of your thoughts.\n\n\\\u003e\"I know you're worried about tomorrow, we will handle it then, besides it's like you said; \" it usually takes more than one day\"\" Akina says happily.\n\n\\\u003eWas she happy that it would take more than one day? If that was the case it would mean more lives lost.\n\n\\\u003eBut something told you she wasn't thinking of that, she was thinking of more days with you...And you were thinking about more days with her.\n\n\\\u003e\"I am thinking about tomorrow, but still, we have work to do tomorrow Akina, they could kill us for not liking us, or kill me and rape you or any combination of those\" You say frowning.\n\n\\\u003ethe Small canine snuggles deeper into your lap.\n\n\\\u003e\"Don't worry about that Anon, worry about snuggles and the night after\" She says with a happy smile, her Mohawk tickling your chin .\n\n\\\u003eYou nod calmly and stand, wrapping your arms around her so she won't fall and her tiny footpaws won't hit the ground.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey!\" she chimes as you carry her to the bedroom.\n\n\\\u003e\"If I'm going to negotiate, I need sleep, and you get to be my snuggle bud\" you say calmly, laying in the bed slowly with one arm wrapped around her.\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm not a... wait, you wanna snuggle to go to sleep?\" She half protests before realizing what you are saying \"I want to be your snuggle bud\" she softly yips, turning around your arms to wrap her arms around you.\n\n\\\u003eYou carry her to the bedroom while her Mohawk tickles your chin, and she hugs you.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eIt was honestly flattering how much she was enamored with you after such a short time being together.\n\n\\\u003eBut you couldn't lie and say her company wasn't appreciated.\n\n\\\u003eBack in the US, you didn't have much in terms of a relationship.\n\n\\\u003eThe military left you broken, unable to serve anymore but with the odd aloofness that came with being deployed too many times and never really readjusting.\n\n\\\u003eBecause of that you were a person that spoke his mind clearly and honestly, without fear of repercussion or other people feelings.\n\n\\\u003eWhy care about that?\n\n\\\u003eAnd because of your bluntness relationships didn't last.\n\n\\\u003eGirls would ask \"do I look bad in this?\" and you would answer honestly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yes, you look awful\" or \"you look like an overdue kangaroo\" were answers that stuck out to you.\n\n\\\u003eAs such, you were mostly left for a better, more caring guy who lied to them for the sake of vanity.\n\n\\\u003eAkina hadn't cared much about your opinion when it came to stuff like that.\n\n\\\u003eShe usually just stated what she wanted and told you to do it.\n\n\\\u003eWearing your T-shirts wasn't something she asked to do, she just...did it.\n\n\\\u003eThat independence was refreshing, her not needing the positive enforcement and simply doing what she wanted when she wanted to.\n\n\\\u003eIt was beautiful to you.\n\n\\\u003ehow could it not be?\n\n\\\u003eThere were so many women who couldn't cook, clean, or even use a washing machine nowadays.\n\n\\\u003eYou recall in the military barracks, a few girls who were so spoiled by their parents, they didn't know how to use a washing machine; and as such, they had used dish soap to clean their clothing.\n\n\\\u003eThe result was a flood of bubbles and froth.\n\n\\\u003eAkina wasn't like that though.\n\n\\\u003eShe was able to do so much on her own and still keep a smile on her face.\n\n\\\u003eIt was refreshing and she stood out so much out of everyone you had met, which was ironic considering her height.\n\n\\\u003eBut as she snuggles you and wraps her legs around your waist, you don't care.\n\n\\\u003eUnder the mosquito nets and under the covers, you and her lay together.\n\n\\\u003eYour hands rubbing her fur and finding each little spot that brings her comfort.\n\n\\\u003eHer laying on top of you and nuzzling softly into your chest.\n\n\\\u003eParadise could be a word for it.\n\n\\\u003eIt's not long before you and her fall asleep, forgetting about what is to come tomorrow.\n\nChapter 5: Some Things Fall Apart\n\n\\\u003eYou wake to the break of daylight, Akina sleeps nuzzled against your chest, with tiny humming snores.\n\n\\\u003eWith a bit of regret, you wish you could move without waking her, but you have places to be.\n\n\\\u003eTime made fools of all men though, and you couldn't be late for this meeting.\n\n\\\u003eIt was the day to meet the warlords, Nasa and Kub, the anthro and human warlords respectively.\n\n\\\u003eGetting there before them, setting up and greeting them before the set time was necessary.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eGently, you rouse Akina from her sleep, although regretting having to do so.\n\n\\\u003e\"Akina, come on little lady\" you say, gently shaking the tiny Aardwolf.\n\n\\\u003eShe barely opens her eyes, then wraps her arms around your neck, pulling you close and pressing her chest against yours.\n\n\\\u003e\"Noooo, sleepy\" She whines sadly, still half asleep.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh and hold her gently, petting and scratching the little place between her ears.\n\n\\\u003e\"Come on, time to wake up\" you coo softly as her foot paws shake in uncontrollable happiness.\n\n\\\u003eAt last her eyes open and she looks to you with blurry half-asleep eyes.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mornin 'non\" she says with a sleepy nuzzle, her Mohawk rubbing the bottom of your chin.\n\n\\\u003eYou scritch a bit more and hold her close.\n\n\\\u003e\"Morning, ready for this today?\" you ask calmly.\n\n\\\u003e\"If I say no, does it matter?\" she says indeterminately, scanning your face with her great beautiful eyes.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh.\n\n\\\u003e\"No, it doesn't Akina, but I feel better asking, I can always just leave you here th-\"\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eA tiny balled fist of a paw hits your chest, barely hard enough to make you gasp, in fact it's more out of surprise than anything.\n\n\\\u003e\"I will not be left behind Mister!\" she huffs angrily, a determined look on her face.\n\n\\\u003eYou smile and give more scritches, having recovered from the shock of the tiny punch.\n\n\\\u003e\"I know, but I just want you safe\" you say dreamily, looking at the ceiling.\n\n\\\u003eYou feel Akina snuggle closer to you, her fur snuggling to your bare chest, the soft tips of her breasts rubbing you and sending waves of want through you.\n\n\\\u003eBut now was not the time for that, stay focused.\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm gonna shower, wanna get breakfast ready for us? No bugs for me though, just eggs and cheese?\" you grunt, as you sit up, holding Akina gently and rubbing her soft fur.\n\n\\\u003eShe snuggles into you for a moment, then sighs and casts the mosquito net aside.\n\n\\\u003e\"Right! Eggs and cheese! But you said nothing about ant eggs\"\n\n\\\u003eBefore you and try to redefine what you want, the tiny aardwolf has run off, naked and unafraid.\n\n\\\u003eGoddammit, she would be a good lawyer.\n\n\\\u003eRegardless, at this point food was food.\n\n\\\u003eYou step into the bathroom and step into a cold shower, not wanting to waste warm water that could be saved for Akina, but also trying to ward off any perverted thoughts about her.\n\n\\\u003eThe cool water is a contrast to the hot air of Africa.\n\n\\\u003eNo, the water is not cool; it's freezing, literally you have NO warm water turned on.\n\n\\\u003eIt saps the breath from you, and instantly gets rid of ANY arousal.\n\n\\\u003eFuck, it barely left you able to breathe, left alone to fantasize Akina's wonderful body.\n\n\\\u003eFocus.\n\n\\\u003eCold showers were something you were used to; the military had gotten you used to them; FOBs rarely had warm water.\n\n\\\u003eYou clean yourself quickly, the cold water oppressive and stifling.\n\n\\\u003eCold showers might be a bastard, but they wake you up quick and set you on edge.\n\n\\\u003eYou get out and dry yourself quickly, then get dressed, the hot air helping minimize your shivers.\n\n\\\u003eIt only takes a minute or two for you to no longer feel the chills from the water.\n\n\\\u003eFeeling the shivers subside, you walk out of the bedroom to find Akina in her tiny kitchen, wearing nothing more than an apron as she makes food for the two of you.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey Handsome! Your food is on the table! sans ant eggs\" she says as she notices you walk in.\n\n\\\u003eA steaming plate of eggs and cheese lay on the table, lovingly prepared by Akina, who is humming to herself as she prepares food for herself.\n\n\\\u003eYou sit down and wait patiently for Akina to finish preparing her meal before you dig in yourself.\n\n\\\u003eAfter all it's more polite to wait for the host.\n\n\\\u003ePlus, you get a view of Akina's thicc body as she prepares her meal happily.\n\n\\\u003eIt was a view you weren't willing to pass up.\n\n\\\u003eShe smiles happily as she sets her plate of ant eggs, cheese and ant eggs next to you plate.\n\n\\\u003e\"Such a gentleman and here I thought you were just going to look at my ass\" she says with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eShe gives you a mischievous smile as she says that.\n\n\\\u003e\"I WAS looking at your ass Akina\" you say before shoveling some eggs into your mouth.\n\n\\\u003e\"I Know\" She hums happily before digging in herself.\n\n\\\u003eThe two of you eat hungrily, knowing this might be the last meal you have for a while.\n\n\\\u003eThese peace talks usually take a while, and it's only until both groups agree to a food break that they actually stop for food.\n\n\\\u003eIt's an odd battle of wills usually, try to go longer than the other even though both groups are suffering.\n\n\\\u003eYou had even been in a moderation where one side soiled themselves trying not to be the first to ask for a break.\n\n\\\u003eYou shudder involuntarily thinking about it, it wasn't a pretty sight or smell.\n\n\\\u003eOddly enough, Akina finishes her meal first; you chalk it up to smaller portions.\n\n\\\u003e\"Lemme get ready\" she says, all eagerness gone, replaced by a solemn even tone.\n\n\\\u003eThat told you she knew how dangerous this would be.\n\n\\\u003eAs you wait for her to get ready, you busy yourself for the upcoming meeting.\n\n\\\u003eFirst off was firearms.\n\n\\\u003eThe SRM 1216 Shotgun has 4 barrels, and they rotate like an old school phone.\n\n\\\u003eFire, rotate, fire, rotate.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eBecause of that they hold 16 shots and are very legal in every state.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eEven Commiefornia.\n\n\\\u003eAs such, you ready your gun and a large combat knife which you had used during your military service.\n\n\\\u003eThis would not be safe; it would not be pretty.\n\n\\\u003eYou wanted to leave Akina here, let her farm up her bugs for others while you dealt with the warlords.\n\n\\\u003eIt was better to leave the tiny insectivore in this place, this middle ground neither side wanted to claim.\n\n\\\u003eAfter all most humans can't use land filled with termites, and at the same time, neither could most anthros.\n\n\\\u003ePlus, they just don't want to deal it them.\n\n\\\u003eAkina Catered to a VERY small group of anthros and an even smaller group of humans.\n\n\\\u003eMost humans regarded insects as vermin and NOT food, even though they were better in terms of protein and land use than most forms of livestock.\n\n\\\u003eBut the tiny aardwolf had a ton of determination to stay with you throughout the peace talks.\n\n\\\u003eYou regard her getting her handgun ready, noting its model; a 1911? She's got a quality gun there.\n\n\\\u003eAnd surprisingly, she also pulls out a sawed-off double barrel shotgun, which she affixes to her back happily.\n\n\\\u003e\"a shotgun? Can you handle that much recoil?\" you scoff at her.\n\n\\\u003eShe gives you a sour glance as she pulls a few shells out of her gun safe and stuffs them into her khaki pockets.\n\n\\\u003e\"It's a bit tough, but I figure we need firepower for this\" she says earnestly\n\n\\\u003eFrom the look of the shotgun, it's only been fired a few times.\n\n\\\u003ePlus, she's right, you could be walking into a firefight.\n\n\\\u003e\"Makes sense Akina, let's go\" you say with a calm smile.\n\n\\\u003eTruthfully, you're screaming inside, this was dangerous and you were ok going alone to put just yourself in harm's way.\n\n\\\u003eBringing Akina meant A. keep track of her, B. Make sure she's safe. And C. Don't let her accidentally spark a war.\n\n\\\u003eHeading out, you feel the still rising sun already begin pounding heat against the arid landscape.\n\n\\\u003eFuck this place is hot.\n\n\\\u003eYou get into your land rover and watch as Akina literally climbs in, grumbling to herself about \"tall human vehicles\"\n\n\\\u003eFor comfort, she pulls the shotgun off her back and leans it, barrel down, against her seat on the floor while she buckles in.\n\n\\\u003eSatisfied, you start the vehicle and head off, letting the BHA provided GPS guide you to the neutral location for these negotiations.\n\n\\\u003eThe lives of so many hang in the balance of these negotiations, so many anthros and so many humans.\n\n\\\u003eAll you want is for them to live in peace.\n\n\\\u003eThe ride goes by in silence, but you feel a slight tension from Akina, usually bubbly and happy, but now quiet and solemn while staring out a window.\n\n\\\u003eThe calm before the storm, heading someplace that was full of possible danger.\n\n\\\u003eYou place a hand on Akina's thigh and give a gently squeeze, earning a surprised \"YIP\" from her\n\n\\\u003e\"It's ok Akina, I'll keep you safe no matter what\" you say with a smile, staring at the \"road\" as you drive\n\n\\\u003eYou can feel her scowl\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003e\"I want us BOTH safe! Don't go playing Mr. Hero! I can take care of myself!\" She squeaked; her voice much higher than usual.\n\n\\\u003eNerves you suppose.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eThere is a difference between living on the outskirt of proverbial lion's den and climbing down into it.\n\n\\\u003eYou can see Akina's Mohawk poofed, and can see through her clothing the hackles on her back raised in some ancient defensive posture.\n\n\\\u003eSure, anthros were evolved and logical now, but getting the hairs on the back on one's neck raised was universal it seems.\n\n\\\u003eSeeing Akina so visibly concerned sets you on edge, fearing the worst... but after an hour of driving you reach the location for the talks, A Protected international park full of endangered species, do you calm down.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eThe security into the area only let you pass with your weapons because you were with the Peacekeepers and the negotiators.\n\n\\\u003eThey assured you that any other group would be stripped on any weapons, regardless if it was guns, bows, swords, or spears.\n\n\\\u003eYou felt confident you could deal with the kinds of threats unarmed people had against guns.\n\n\\\u003eYour GPS leads you DEEP into the reserve, to a hidden building made of Ivy, Overgrowth and half rotting wood.\n\n\\\u003eThe building looks like an odd camp lodge, oval in shape, but made of strong swamp wood to avoid the mold.\n\n\\\u003eNo power sources beyond an old generator attached to the electrical system.\n\n\\\u003eYou get out of the Rover and Akina follows suit, jumping down and sniffing the air pensively.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anything?\" you ask, keeping your eyes down the barrel of your gun, prepared to shoot anything that moved.\n\n\\\u003e\"Nothing, Just trees\" Akina answers finally.\n\n\\\u003eSatisfied with the answer, you sling your shotgun to your back and tend to the generator.\n\n\\\u003eFull fuel, in good condition; someone must have dropped it here because of the occasion.\n\n\\\u003eAfter a little tinkering, you get it started and see lights turn on inside the lodge.\n\n\\\u003eNodding to yourself, you go to the door and open it, then hold it open for Akina.\n\n\\\u003eThe sight that greets you looks like the 2nd Jurassic park movie, or was it the 3rd?\n\n\\\u003eWhatever, the place is overgrown and vines creep into every place, even over some of the ceiling light fixtures, casting odd shadows.\n\n\\\u003eBut the place would suffice.\n\n\\\u003eA long oval table sits in the center of a large conference room; Chairs line all along it.\n\n\\\u003eThey are in mostly good condition, well better condition than you would have thought for furniture that sits in an abandoned game lodge.\n\n\\\u003eYou get your laptop, and plug it in, opening a voice chat with the peacekeepers servers for recording the entire negotiation process, as a local recording for the sake of redundancy.\n\n\\\u003eYou can hear other vehicles begin pulling up to the lodge, and the chatter of voices speaking in a language you don't recognize or understand.\n\n\\\u003eSounds like barks and yelps mixed from various sized dogs; must be Nasa and her group, err pack? Or was it a cackle like wild hyenas?\n\n\\\u003e\"Doesn't matter\" you mumble to yourself as you set up an HD camera to document the whole process.\n\n\\\u003eThe sounds of claws tick-tacking along the hardwood floor of the game lodge becomes audible.\n\n\\\u003eA moment later a score of various Anthros, mostly consisting of hyenas, enter the room you're in and you feel Akina shrink down next to you in fear.\n\n\\\u003eYou stay upright, head held high as they pour in, eyeing you with general disinterest and giving Akina a someone perturbed look.\n\n\\\u003eThey wear black modern military gear, dark green berets on their heads.\n\n\\\u003eAkina's hackles and Mohawk poof up in nervousness, she looks at the towering figures and gives a quiet whimper.\n\n\\\u003eThe whimper is drowned out by heavy thudding footsteps, slow and rhythmic, like the footstep of the T-rex from Jurassic park.\n\n\\\u003eWhy does this day have to remind you of Jurassic park? Next thing you know someone is going to be saying \"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should\".\n\n\\\u003eThe maker of the footstep lumbers in, a huge Rhino anthro, standing at least 10-foot-tall, ducking slightly to get through the doorway, the horn scraping the low wooden frame.\n\n\\\u003eIs this Nasa? Your reports said she was a Hyena, but they have been wrong before.\n\n\\\u003eThe rhino stomps its way over to you slowly, a look of annoyance on its face.\n\n\\\u003eYou wait to speak to it until it's right in front of you, leering down.\n\n\\\u003e\"Nasa I assume?\" you say, trying to sound confident in the face of this behemoth.\n\n\\\u003eThe rhino grunts then turns around, showing that he was actually carrying a backpack like contraption, carrying a figure in it.\n\n\\\u003eThe hyena on the Rhinos back was faintly beautiful, well built in terms of muscles and colors; however, that beauty looked like it had been beaten down continuously.\n\n\\\u003eThe toll of years of bloodshed.\n\n\\\u003eBut that wasn't the only toll, everything below her waist was gone leaving only her torso and arms for a body.\n\n\\\u003eShe smiles at you pleasantly.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mr. Anon I presume?\" she asks in English with a Belgian accent.\n\n\\\u003eYou extend a hand to her.\n\n\\\u003e\"Nasa?\" you probe, looking confused as you study her.\n\n\\\u003e\"Yes, that's me. Not what you were expecting?\" she responds with a jovial laugh and a handshake.\n\n\\\u003e\"No not really, sorry\" you say politely, pulling your hand back and setting it on Akina's shoulder.\n\n\\\u003e\"Landmine in 98, I'm afraid, but it helped me lose weight quick\" She says with a chuckle.\n\n\\\u003eYou only smile in response to her words before you introduce Akina.\n\n\\\u003e\"And this is Akina, my co-negotiator\" you say motioning to the still poofed up Aardwolf.\n\n\\\u003eNasa peers down and smile, \"Ah an Aardwolf? How rare but makes sense to have a human and Anthro Negotiator, now if you allow me to get situated.\"\n\n\\\u003eShe taps the hulking rhino on the shoulder and he slowly and carefully begin removing the carrying harness, swinging Nasa to the front so his stubby fingers can take her under the arms and set her into a seat.\n\n\\\u003e\"Very good\" She says once she's set down, pulling out a pen and a notebook.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eShe looks like she is about to address you further but her ears swivel suddenly and her nostrils flare.\n\n\\\u003eA frown crosses her pretty face and you see several of the anthro skirt behind their leader.\n\n\\\u003e\"They're here\" comes a scowling voice from Nasa, who looks outraged at whatever she was sensing.\n\n\\\u003eBefore long the smell reaches your Human nose and you nearly gag.\n\n\\\u003eA stench like the mix of ammonia, bleach, and other heavy industrial chemicals hits your lungs like a hammer.\n\n\\\u003eYou're nearly to the point of retching when Nasa hands you a small vial of ointment.\n\n\\\u003e\"Rub it under your nose, the Cariotis tribe cover themselves in chemicals to fuck without noses\" Nasa says sharply, putting a generous amount of clearish gel under her nose and seemingly breathe easier.\n\n\\\u003eYou note the other anthros doing the same, with one of the taller hyenas helping the Rhino.\n\n\\\u003eFollowing their example, you apply some to Akina's tiny nose and then some to yours.\n\n\\\u003eInstantly the smell goes away, and the faint smell of cinnamon and mint fill your senses.\n\n\\\u003eYou look to Nasa in surprise, who winks at you coyly.\n\n\\\u003e\"I know a few chemist friends from my schooling in Belgium Mr. Anon, they help me out\" she says with a smile.\n\n\\\u003eYou're about to answer her when you hear footsteps, not footsteps like shoes hitting the hardwood, but bare feet.\n\n\\\u003eA head peers into the room, a human head of a black man, which looks around and then frowns\n\n\\\u003eWithout a room it disappears, and you hear shouting in some language that again, you don't recognize.\n\n\\\u003eThen about 30 Humans, pour into the room, slapping their bare feet against the floor purposefully.\n\n\\\u003eThey wear nothing but tattered loincloths and have their entire bodies covered in crusty white paste, which you assume is the \"chemicals\" they used to hurt the anthros smell.\n\n\\\u003eYou eye them calmly, feeling secure in the shotgun on your bad and the tiny armed aardwolf at your side.\n\n\\\u003eThrough the group a humans comes a white male, much to your surprise.\n\n\\\u003eHe wears jeans and a red polo shirt and a lanky overly tall man follows behind him.\n\n\\\u003eThe white man meets you first, thrusting out a hand.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hi there, Henrik Eriksson, call me Henry, Nice to meet you, I'm the translator\" he says as you accept the handshake.\n\n\\\u003eYou blink a few times, \"translator? My files said the leader could speak English\" you ask in confusion.\n\n\\\u003eHenry scratches his head nervously. \"Yeah\" he says before leaning towards you with a low whisper.\n\n\\\u003e\"He refuses to speak in a language the \"Dogs\" speak\" he says using air quotes, and you swear you see Nasa give a smug chuckle.\n\n\\\u003eYou give a silent nod to Henry in acknowledgement then turn to the tall lanky man.\n\n\\\u003e\"Nice to meet you, I am Anon, the negotiator\" you saw extending a hand to the man.\n\n\\\u003eHe, in turn, spits on the floor and says some kinda gobbledygook to Henry.\n\n\\\u003e\"He says he will not shake hands with someone who keeps anthros as company\" Henry translates sheepishly, motioning to Akina.\n\n\\\u003eWonderful, this is all going smoothly already.\n\n\\\u003eYou sigh and sit down at the head of the oval table, and motion for everyone else to sit if they want.\n\n\\\u003eAkina scoots into your lap, giving Kub a frown, Kub looked back with eyes burning full of hate.\n\n\\\u003e\"We are co negotiators and we only have one chair\" you say pointedly, drawing the ire from Akina to you.\n\n\\\u003eThe black man frowns but says nothing.\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright, Let's get these negotiation underway\" you say calmly and forcefully, \"First off, no interruptions while another party is talking, secondly, any attempts to assassinate or cause harm to an opposite party will be met with extreme prejudice, or in simpler terms, I'll kill you\" you assert, resting your hand on your shotgun.\n\n\\\u003e\"Third, this is all being recorded and broadcast Live to the peacekeepers headquarters, so any treachery will be known and while the Peacekeepers might be peaceful, they have many friends who are not\" you continue, looking around the room, making eye contact with everyone you can.\n\n\\\u003e\"My name is Anon and this is Akina, Let's Start with opening demands, Nasa since you were here first we will Start with you\" you say calmly to Nasa with a curt nod, which she returns.\n\n\\\u003e\"We demand the immediate stop to All hostilities towards anthros, the stop of Pillaging Anthro owned agricultural areas, and for the\u0026nbsp; Cariotis to cease the consumption of Anthros\" Nasa glowers towards Kub, who stares with an almost amused look on his face.\n\n\\\u003eYou keep your face neutral in light of what you just heard, all reasonable demands, but that last part hit you like a ton of bricks being thrown in your face one by one.\n\n\\\u003e\"Consumption of Anthros\"?\n\n\\\u003eYou turn to Nasa and give only the slightest of frowns; which she returns with a slight nod, and with that Nod Akina tries her hardest to shrink into your chest.\n\n\\\u003eShe should have stayed behind...but no time for that now.\n\n\\\u003e\"Alright, what are your demands Kub?\" you say without missing a beat, looking at the man.\n\n\\\u003eHe spits on the floor again and scowls, sliding a piece of paper to Henry.\n\n\\\u003eThe white man picks up the paper and begins reading it aloud.\n\n\\\u003e\"The removal of all anthros from this region, reparations to the families of those killed by anthros, and uh... Nasa's head on a platter\" Henry says with a disgusted scowl.\n\n\\\u003eThis time you don't hide your annoyance.\n\n\\\u003e\"What are your realistic demands, there is no way to remove every anthro from this region, no way to PROVE what families deserve reparations and we don't trade lives\" you say with an incredulous look on your face, to which Kub Simply crosses his arms.\n\n\\\u003eYou spend the next 6 hours, attempting to get reasonable demands from Kub; while Nasa attempts to give a little, pulling out maps and charts to show which land they were willing to give for peace.\n\n\\\u003eKub refused to talk at all, simply shaking his head to everything.\n\n\\\u003eIn the end, Nasa slammed her paws onto the table and barked at the Human \"THIS IS WHY I CAN BACK HERE FROM BELGIUM, BECAUSE OF IDIOTS LIKE YOU\"\n\n\\\u003eKub Looked fearful for a moment, then regained his smug stone face, while his men rustled around him, making chiding war chants.\n\n\\\u003eThe anthros, while unarmed, were still more than a match for the humans in the room and were beginning to bustle, hackles raising and teeth bared.\n\n\\\u003eAkina jumps onto the table from your lap between the two sides.\n\n\\\u003e\"Enough! Both go your separate ways, with will attempt these negotiations on a different day!\" She squeak barks at the groups.\n\n\\\u003eYou stand up and unsling your shotgun as the human group looks like they were about to Attack Akina, then chamber a round of 12 gauge buckshot.\n\n\\\u003eThe distinct CLICK-CLACK of a shell entering the chamber makes the humans do a double take.\n\n\\\u003e\"I suggest, both parties leave.\" you say calmly, indicating to doors on opposite sides of the room.\n\n\\\u003eSeeing a shotgun in your hand really discouraged them from fighting, as they were unarmed.\n\n\\\u003eReluctantly though, both sides filter out until, only Nasa, the rhino Akina and you were in the room.\n\n\\\u003eYou begin packing up as the rhino gets Nasa into her harness.\n\n\\\u003e\"I am Sorry Mister Anon, I thought that by calling you peacekeepers, we could Show Kub that we were serious for peace, but it seems they are not\" she says, her accent making a few words hard to understand.\n\n\\\u003eYou nod, \"we might get somewhere next week, let tempers fade on both sides, Kub was paying attention to your offers, I saw him looking at each; he might just be holding out to see how far you'll give though\"\n\n\\\u003eNasa's turn to nod \"maybe, stay safe Mr. Anon and Ms. Akina\" she says before patting the Rhino, who stomps out of the building.\n\n\\\u003eAkina looks at you as you rub your eyes.\n\n\\\u003e\"Do all negotiations go like that?\" She asks, snuggling next to you as you put the equipment away.\n\n\\\u003e\"Just about; one side wants peace or neither do, problem is both sides need to want peace.\" you answer ruefully.\n\n\\\u003eWith a sigh you grab your bags and carry them outside, no sign of either group besides tire marks and footprints.\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey Akina, can you shut off the generator while I load up the truck?\" you call out as you go to the land rover.\n\n\\\u003e\"Mhm! One sec!\" she says happily before hurrying off.\n\n\\\u003eYou load up the land rover and place your guns in their racks.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anon Catch\" you hear over your shoulder; you have just enough time to turn around to catch a tiny hurtling fuzzy body.\n\n\\\u003eAkina flung herself at you, and the impact knocked you back into the Land rover.\n\n\\\u003e\"Good catch! Let's get out of here\" She says with a happy squirm in your arms.\n\n\\\u003eYou set her down and she scurries quickly to the passenger side door and climbs in.\n\n\\\u003eGetting in and starting the land rover, you speed out of the reservation, trying to leave that day behind.\n\n\\\u003eAkina hums happily to a song on the radio until she sees you frowning.\n\n\\\u003e\"Anon what's wrong?\" she asked, cocking her head to one side.\n\n\\\u003e\"That negotiation almost went south REAL quick, and the whole \"Consumption of Anthos\" thing is just sick\" you say with a frown, looking straight ahead.\n\n\\\u003eOut of the corner of your eye, you see Akina's ears droop a bit, but then perk back up.\n\n\\\u003e\"OK I know what to do!\" she says with unexpected cheer.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eYou see her begin unbuttoning her shirt as she looks at you with lust and longing in her eyes.\n\n\\\u003e\"I know you had a bad day Anon\" she says, pulling her bra off and tossing it aside.\n\n\\\u003e\"But I bet I can make this night a whole. Lot.
