Tyler flailed a bit as he was kissed. His eyes dilated to dinnerplates and he blushed a red that would make a tomato jealous. I refused to let him go, I wrapped my arms around his neck to prevent him from going anywhere and licked his lips. Our tails, corkscrewed and joined, flicked against one another. I held him for a good thirty seconds. My breathing lungs still had plenty, but I realized that he was probably starting to get uncomfortable. When I let him go, he gasped deeply, nearly hyperventilating, his eyes darting all over. "S-Sylvia! Wh-what are you?" His heart nearly shot from his chest. "Th-this has to be a dream..."

"It's not..." I said softly, one paw ever so gently caressing his ear, the other drawing him closer again. I once again kissed him deeply. He was still in shock, not really kissing back, but I didn't care. He made me feel... so alive, so excited. He gave me a reason to keep going and it felt like my duty to help him. His ears twitched, batting at my forehead when our lips locked again. This kiss was shorter, it was still just as passionate, but I let him go after a few seconds. His ears continued to flick and his stare was directly forward into my eyes, gleaming in the moonlight.

The third kiss was all his. He carefully put his paws on my shoulders and drew me close. I didn't resist at all. A few awkward seconds later for him, and he was once again flush with my lips. I took his arm and gently nudged it up behind my head, hugging my neck, then the other until we were both locked together. I closed my eyes and let out the most content, pleasured purr I could. It was weak at first, but then he echoed it, getting a little louder by the second until we were both in tune with each other. This was the longest kiss of all, nearly a full minute of our mutual love for each other. Every few seconds he moved his lips, pulling away for a second so he could breathe and kiss me in another position, our arms roaming each other. He pulled away, a strand of shared saliva joining us, sparkling in the fleeting light.

Silence, once again. Tyler was panting and shaking violently. "I...I-I've never had a kiss like that before."

I wrapped my arms around him comfortingly. "Calm... you deserved it."

He sighed deeply and stopped shivering. "That was my first kiss..." I looked at him incredulously. "My first real kiss." He explained. "Sure, I've played spin the bottle and truth or dare when I was young, but all of those kisses were just short pecks, they didn't mean anything." He looked up with teary eyes. "It... did mean something, right?"

"What do you think?" I smiled just a little. "Of course..." I whispered in his ear. "It meant everything to me."

There was silence again for a few moments. "For real?" He asked.

"For real Ty..."

"I... I just don't know what to say."

"You don't need to say anything."

He looked away, crickets chirping, frogs croaking in the white noise of night. There was no mistaking the semblance of shame he emitted. It was a few moments before he quietly said "I... used you."

I tilted my head. "I don't follow?"

He was still blood red. "When I took your photo, I had never um... pleased myself. My parents told me before that it was wrong, an insult to God." He looked down at his paws like they were dirty, covered in a soil that would never wash out. "That photo... of your breasts... I stared and stared and stared. Something... took over inside me and I found myself... doing it..." A tear dropped onto the rocky ground below him. "I stroked and stroked, and I felt so alive, it was so strange, but I couldn't finish, I was too embarrassed to. Seconds from ejaculating, I stopped. It hurt, but I couldn't give up everything." He was staring down at the ground. "I'm sorry I used you like that."

I snorted, and then gave a little giggle, then a bit louder until I burst out laughing. "Seriously? You think I'll hate you just because you tried to paw to me?" I nearly doubled over in raucous laughter until I saw his face and I realised he was serious. "Ah...haaaaa...ha...oh..." I was now as red as Tyler and I cleared my throat nervously. "Oh... I'm sorry." I walked over and kissed his cheek. "Aw... seriously, don't worry about it, it's a perfectly natural thing, everybody does it!" I gave him comforting nuzzles, sitting beside him, staring at the moon. "I'm sorry about that Tyler, it's just the way us chakats are raised, things like this are addressed early, our way, and it doesn't leave much room for understanding the way others do things."

He hesitantly grabbed my arm and I turned to him, he was smiling, fresh tears in his eyes. "You understand more about me than any other girl ever could hope to."

I smiled back and ran my fingers through his fur on his shoulders, wrapping a lock around my finger. "I try."

"And that's all that matters." He said to me. He rubbed his neck. "You know... I also, don't have internet."

"Nobody around here does, that's actually what Nightstreak is trying to fix."

He nodded. "And as a result of that... well... I never knew what a..."

"...what a...?" I tried to tease the next word out of him.

"Should I use the slang or be technical?"

"We're friends, slang is fine."

He took a deep breath. "Well, I didn't know what a pussy looked like."

"Didn't... so you do now?"

He nodded. God it was amazing how long he could hold a blush, he must have felt hot as hell. "Y-yeah, because I was climbing up behind you and I had to look up and..." He turned away, coughing once, his eyes unfocused.

"You're welcome." I teased, licking his muzzle. I was about to ask if he wanted to see it again, but he was starting to shake, his eyes shifty, breathing faster. His comfort zone was collapsing. He knew I loved him and he admitted his faults to me, and that was good enough. "Okay... that's enough for now with that... you're starting to get nervous. I'll back off."

He sighed deeply. "Thanks, not sure how much more shock I can take."

We sat side by side, watching the calm waters for some time. Our tails danced around each other, spiraling, locking together, one time they even knotted. That brought a laugh from the two of us and an apology in unison, Tyler shifting back to pull them apart. As he fumbled with the appendages I yawned while sleep tugged at my consciousness. I rubbed my eyes."Wanna sleep with me?" I asked.

"What?!" He said, scrambling back.

"No no... not that. It's cold out tonight and too late to come back down. I mean do you want to sleep next to me for warmth... clothes on."

He sighed, the tone suggesting nothing other than relief. "Oh, okay... um, sure I guess." He pulled off his coat and started to shiver. "My god, you're right, it is cold."

I put down the bedroll and lied down atop it, patting a point around my lower torso. "Come on... snuggle in, I won't bite."

He gently slid in and I comfortingly wrapped my legs around him. "Good?"

He purred deeply. "You're really warm... thank you."

I smiled softly and yawned. "Good night Tyler..."

"G-good night Silverpaw."

"I love you." He was out of sight in my fur, I couldn't see or tell his reaction. Maybe it was my imagination, but I could have sworn I heard a tiny "I love you too."

________________________________________________________________________

I fell asleep not much long after. Moonbeam was right when shi said that I would be in heat soon, as shi had mentioned earlier that morning. I noticed it when I was talking to Tyler, but I made an effort to make sure it didn't show to him. I think I did a good job.

Chakats have a very rapid heat cycle, which is one of several reasons why we are so promiscuous. We have two phases. A female phase, often referred to as heat (Actually, scratch that, always referred to as heat, unless you are at the doctor's office), and a male phase, called rut. I shouldn't have to explain heat, but in case you've been living under a rock, it's the time where females have nothing on their mind but sex, sex and sex. Rut however is a little different; it is not the male equivalent of heat, but rather just a change in hormones that makes chakats prefer their male side, even if they normally don't. Those that already prefer their male side might feel a wee bit more flirtatious in this phase, but nowhere near to the degree that heat overpowers females. We chakats also have the curious adaptation that we only make sperm during the rut phase, it can be stored for a time, but it will eventually die. This is extremely helpful for helping out each other during heat, because if we sterilise ourselves ahead of time (through obvious means), we don't have to worry about impregnation. Every twelve days, we flip-flop between heat and rut, each lasting for a day, maybe two. One last note, in case you were wondering, a chakat pregnancy lasts exactly 312 days, and yes, I said exactly, don't ask me why, but it never fails. This happens to be 13 complete heat-rut cycles and is about ten and a half months.

In any case, getting back to the story, that night was strange for me, for the dreams of a chakat approaching heat are often as hot as hir insides. I remember little of them except for that they involved a male taur with a face like Tyler's making love to me over and over. Occasionally I would jerk awake with a slight gasp, finding my length erected and pressed against Tyler's stomach. Thank God he was still sleeping soundly.

Eventually I turned away from him, and he subconsciously wrapped his arms around my back. The last thing I wanted was to have a wet dream over Tyler's stomach. I didn't wake up much after that, maybe I was more in peace knowing that I wouldn't ejaculate all over Tyler, a relationship killer for sure. My dreams got deeper and deeper along with my sleep, I remember breathing in my ear, hotness all over my body, closer to my reward. The figure leaned to my neck, nibbling at it, speaking in Tyler's voice, but sultrier than I believe he could ever hope to make it. "Sliverpaw... I'm gonna- RIIIIIING"

I turned, confused. "What?"

"G-gonna!" His face was twisted in rapture. "RIIIIING, RIIIING"

I jolted awake with an "Uwwwaaa!", taking a deep sharp breath as my length twitched and shot a single rope of its cream across the rock as my heart pounded with lust and surprise. I quickly smeared it across the rock with my lower forepaw to disguise it and got up, fishing the cell phone out of my belt. I yawned as Tyler started to stir too, rubbing his eyes. "G-G'day?" I answered, thumbing it open.

"Silverpaw you bloody sheila, where in blazes are you? I went to wake you up and you weren't in your room!" Moonbeam's angry, but worried voice blasted out of the speaker.

I blinked once or twice. "Ah! Moon! I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you! I went up the mountain to spend some time with Tyler." I glanced back at him as he pulled his coat back on, examining the curious stain on the rock. I blushed a little, though he didn't seem to be able to figure out what it was, so he shrugged.

Moonbeam was silent a few moments and, though I couldn't see hir, I knew that shi probably wore a smug smile and was laughing silently to a private joke. "Oh... so that's how it is... you wanted to do it with a boy and you were too embarrassed to bring him back..."

"Moonbeam!" I shouted, shocked and indignant. "We were not doing that! I swear! We just went up the mountain to spend a little time together, he wanted to show me."

"His cock?"

"The sights!"

"Of his member?"

"Of the mountain!"

Tyler stood there confused, not sure what to say, just staring at the spot on the ground. I pressed my paw to my face and whispered to hir, just out of his range of hearing. "Look... I don't know... I love him a lot, but he's not like other guys, he's not going to be able to move into a relationship like that until he's ready... please, if you see him, try to act a little normal? For me?"

A sigh crackled over the phone. "Okay Silverpaw... but you know, I've been tracking your heat cycle... and you'll be in full estrus on Friday, and you're not going to be able to resist. I'd recommend getting him accustomed to the idea that he's going to have to help you every twenty-four days."

The thought never occurred to me. Normally my sister or my parents would be the one to help me during heat, but if he became my lover... then I would have to ask him. Even now I detected just the faintest smell of arousal and pheremones on me. I could mask it until Friday, but after that, I'd be begging. Could I really get Tyler, the shy little tabby cat who was afraid to even masturbate, ready to mate me by Friday?

"...think about that Silverpaw, but in the meantime, get the hell down here! You have to begin walking to school in an hour, you're barely gonna have time to get ready!" Shi then hung up.

I closed the phone. "That was Moonbeam." I turned back to him. "We need to pack up and get back home so we can get ready for school."

He suddenly snapped out of his stupor. "Oh my God! School! I totally forgot, we need to get down!"

I nodded in agreement and he turned to leave. "Wait, Tyler... one second." No point in giving him a rude surprise the day of my heat. "On... Friday, we're going to have to do something that you may not like... that might even scare you."

He looked up and tilted his head. "W-what?"

I sighed, I was so afraid of how he might react. "We..." I cleared my throat. "I'm going to need you to mate me."

His eyes dilated to saucers. "What?!" He choked on a whisper.

I stroked his cheek and leaned closer to him, whispering in his ear. "Tyler... I know, I would have liked to have waited a little longer to, but I'm going to be going into heat."

"Heat?" He asked then looked down. "So, when your body will overpower desire for all else, but sex, right?"

"Basically." I said in agreement.

"There's no way to fight it?"

"Do you have a sister?"

"No..." He looked up, wondering why I asked.

"Then you wouldn't know how bad it is." I kissed his neck and looked in his emerald eyes, he stared back intently. "Every single cell of your body is on fire, even if you stand in a freezer, you feel like you're in the deepest pits of hell. The slightest touch sends pleasure so intense it feels like agony, you're so sensitive that you can't even focus. Every single guy you look upon, no matter how uninteresting, looks like the hottest guy in the universe. Your brain melts, and sex becomes the only thing that matters." Apparently my eyes teared over because Tyler quivered. "I need someone... to save me from that..."

"B-but... we're supposed to save ourselves until wedlock."

"Tyler." I grabbed his paw. "I love God." I paused and kissed him passionately, almost losing myself. I broke away from him again. Tyler didn't know what to make of the situation. "But if God wanted us to wait until then, He wouldn't have made heat."

He blinked a few times and started to think, staring intently at the water. "I want you to promise me something."

"What?"

He took a sharp breath and spoke shakily. "I want you to promise me... that you're not using me just for this purpose, and I want you to promise to date me." He strained, like the last thing was the hardest to say. "And... if we've been dating for awhile, and we turn eighteen... I want you to marry me."

I smiled at the first part but my heart jumped at the last. "I know as well as you how it feels to be

used, and I promise you, that I'll never use you, and we'll never do it outside of heat, and of course I'll date you." I thought a long while, it seemed like forever. "If we're still madly in love with each other when we turn eighteen, I'll marry you."

He sighed and then smiled. "Sylvia, you're the most wonderful girl I've ever met."

I giggled and then poked him. "But I want you to do something now."

"What?" He asked, his ears flicking, surprised.

"I want you to say a few words that have been on your mind for awhile."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean... I'll give you a clue, it begins with 'I'."

He was now completely nonplused, but in a few seconds he got it and blushed. "Oh..." He then took my paw and pressed it to his chest. "Silverpaw, daughter of Moonbeam and Nightstreak... I love you."

A tear formed in my eye and I traced my claws down his chest gently. "I love you too, Tyler Hawke."

_________________________________________________________________________

Now officially together, we hurried down the slope back to my house. It turns out that going down was a lot easier than going back up, save for a bit of sliding on the steep sections. It helps that it was mostly daylight and we could actually see where our paws were going. I checked the time on my phone, 5:50 AM.

Tyler groaned. "The house is like a half mile away... we're gonna have to run, and the school is like twelve miles away, we'll never make it."

I smiled. "Get on my back, I'll handle it."

"Um... excuse me?"

I turned towards him, tail down to avoid giving him a gratuitous view, not that I would have minded. "You heard, climb on my back, you can ride me."

He blinked and then shrugged, mounting me from the side, slipping a little and wincing. "Been a while since I rode a horse... forgot how hard it was on... places."

I giggled. "Hold on tight, but careful where." I winked back at him and then trotted off full sprint, around 45 clicks per hour. I flew through the forest, my feet hardly touching the ground, Tyler hugging me from behind.

"Christ! You're insane!" He shouted to me.

"Not insane!" I shouted back. "Efficient!"

I ground to a stop outside my house, the trip took all of a minute or two. "Get off really quick, I need to go get changed then we can get going. Too bad we won't have time for a shower."

"We?" He asked.

I realized my mistake. Chakats would have showered together no problem, there was plenty of room for sure inside the stall, but I realized that showering together would be a completely different deal than just mating once.

"Right, I mean time for the both of us to take a shower, I wouldn't mind if you used my bathroom, I've got two."

He nodded. "Oh, I see. Yeah, we're gonna be late as it is, hurry..."

I pulled on my uniform like clockwork once I got up to my room, only looking in the mirror for a second to straighten it. The torso cover was cooperative for once and I pulled it on in only a minute.

I ran down to the kitchen and threw together a lunch in no particular order, shoving it into my lunchbox. I stepped outside again and Tyler tapped his foot. "Come on... we're gonna get in trouble..."

"What's your rush?" I turned quickly to see Rosecoat standing in the doorway, a pack slung over hir torso. Shi wasn't wearing anything at all and I gulped. Apparently shi was a bit more intent on rebelling against society than I was. Tyler apparently saw this too and quickly looked away, clearing his throat. Shi smirked. "You still have an hour, Silverpaw can manage that easily. With our speed, the school is well within cooee." Shi purred and stroked his cheek. He shivered and gasped a little, hir breasts were only inches from his face and he looked straight at the ground, but Rosecoat was picking his face up, looking deep into his eyes. "He's a cute one... pretty embarrassed too."

"Rose! Don't talk that way to my boyfriend..."

"Ha! Day three and you're already up to your old tricks... how many you hoping for this time?"

Rosecoat probably thought shi was being funny, and normally I would have laughed with hir, but shi didn't know how fragile Tyler was. "Rose, that's not funny. Tyler and I met on Monday, he's not just my toy like you might believe. I'll treat him with as much love and respect as a denmate and you should too."

Shi then looked down. I almost never snapped back at hir like that, so shi had to know that something was odd here. "Oh... I'm sorry. I just thought you were looking for a pretty guy to help with your heat."

He gasped and looked back and forth. "You... you promised that..."

"I know... what I promised." I turned to him and then kissed him. "And it's still true. Rosecoat just didn't know about that agreement."

"Making contracts now? That's just one step below pimping." Shi grinned and I gave hir a glare. "Sorry..." Shi apologized softly.

"Tyler... this is Rosecoat, daughter of Nightstreak and Moonbeam, and Rosecoat, this is Tyler Hawke."

"Um... hello." He whispered softly.

"G'day Ty!" Shi smiled at him.

"Can I talk to you...?" I said a tad angrily to Rose and then pulled hir close by hir chest fluff. "Watch what you say!" I whispered, gritting my teeth. "He's really... really embarrassed by the idea of mating. He's a devout Christian and he only agreed to help if I promised him three things, to not only use him for mating, to date him, and to marry him if we're still dating at eighteen... I'll tell you the full story after school today... and for the love of God, put on a fucking shirt you whore!"

Rose, though shi liked to tease me, greatly respected me, and knew when shi did something wrong. "Right right... I'm sorry sis..." Shi then made a little bow at Tyler. "Forgive me for being rude... I was only trying to tease my sister and I didn't know I had offended you." Shi looked down. "One sec... allow me to put on a shirt." Shi came out with one of my uniforms, though not wearing the torso cover. Couldn't argue with hir, I thought it was stupid too. "So... let's get going. Feel free to ask me questions while you're riding on sis' back."

We trotted on the deserted road together, I wasn't paying attention to the natural splendor of the area, but rather to Tyler and Rosecoat's conversation.

"So... you're pink. That's not a colour you see often."

"Not among anthros at least." Shi replied. "But chakats... it happens quite often. Chakat fur is the only thing different among us, save for small differences here and there about our build." Shi took the opportunity to flex, as shi loved to do. "You like me being pink?"

"Oh yes... I think it makes you look quite beautiful."

"Sorry if I don't go 'Awww! Thank you!'... but us chakats are quite used to being called beautiful, though I do appreciate the sentiment." Shi smiled.

"From what I've seen, all chakats are very pretty... how old are you?"

"I'm sixteen, just like Silverpaw there. We're bond sisters, both our parents were pregnant at the same time."

"Do you have any other sisters?"

"Why don't you ask your mate? You are riding on hir back, you could at least spare hir some conversation."

"Mate?" He asked, a terrified tone in his voice.

"Shi doesn't mean it like that..." I replied. "Chakats tend to use the same word for boyfriend or girlfriend and spouse." I leaned back and kissed his cheek. "And yes, I do have another sister, hir name is Windsoul, and shi's bright green and very fluffy. Six years old."

"Wow! Green?!"

"Yep!" I replied, a smile sneaking across my face. "You ever wanna piss hir off, just call hir a radioactive sheep."

He chuckled. "Alright, I will keep that in mind, but I still want to meet the rest of your family."

"Sure, but I'd wait until after Friday... I'll warn them, but they'll still be themselves in front of you."

"What do you mean by that?"

Rosecoat spoke up again. "Meaning don't be surprised if my parents get horny and mount each other in the living room." Shi grinned.

He blanched and then broke out in another laugh. "I almost envy your family... almost."

"Isn't envy a sin?" Rosecoat asked.

"Yes, that's why I said almost." I shook my head. Who ever said devout Christians didn't have a sense of humour?

"So... I take it you're kind of interested in mating, huh?"

I feared the results of this question, but it didn't turn out as bad as I would've thought. "I... guess so. I mean, I am a teenager, I've always wondered how it felt, I mean... if it feels that good just to thumb my tip, it must be indescribable when you..." He trailed off and then just blushed.

"You've never felt cumming?" I gave hir a glare again to tell hir shi'd gone too far, but he answered anyway.

"No... I always felt it was wrong..."

"It's a perfectly natural-" I stopped hir again by interrupting.

"Rose, everyone has the right to their own belief, remember?"

Tyler seemed a little disheartened. "I'm sorry I'm so different from you guys..."

Rosecoat and I looked at each other and shi trotted a little closer to him, patting his back. "Hey... it's alright. The differences among us are what make us great!" Shi smiled. "Don't listen to me... I'm just naturally rude."

I looked back at him too. "Don't worry about your religion... if you decide on Friday that you can't do it... I'll just have Rose help me..."

"No!" He called out and then cleared his throat. "S-sorry... but I made up my mind... I want to help you, you're all I have and I feel like I have to help you."

"There's no need to force yourself to if you don't want to."

The rest of the ride was silent, Tyler apparently contemplating the decision rather hard. He looked at his paws, turning them, twiddling his thumbs. We were nearly there when he asked something so quietly I almost couldn't hear it.

"Syl... are you a virgin?"

I blinked several times and nearly tripped. The answer of course was no, but I would have thought he knew that. "No, haven't been for years."

"Then... it won't be so wrong to mate you then, as long as I'm not taking your virginity."

"Tyler... think about it like this. You're not mating me for your own pleasure, I'm not putting myself out because I want to have fun. You're doing it because you love me, and I'm doing it because I have to... and I love you too, and that's all that matters in His eyes."

His manner loosened a little and then he even smiled. "You know... I feel a lot better about this now... thank you."

"No problem, and don't worry, I won't make a habit out of it."

He hopped off my back when we were about half a click from school, after all, riding on the back of a chakat is bound to bring a few stares. We all walked together, joking and laughing with each other. Having Rose beside me made me feel even better. I knew that if something bad happened to me in school, Rose would be there and make life a living hell for that which had upset me. I wondered how Rose would tolerate Mr. Goldman, if shi even had him. Knowing hir, shi would have smacked him. I decided to ask hir about hir classes, I was interested, after all, to see if shi was in any of my classes.

"Who me?" Shi looked over. "Hmm let's see..." Shi pulled the schedule out of hir satchel. "Um... Mrs. Redman for Homeroom. Mr. Franz for English, Ms. Murasaki for Math..." Shi purred for a second. "Ooh, Japanese..." Shi returned to hir train of thought as quickly as it had derailed. "Ms. Gracie for Bio... lunch three." I cursed silently, shi wasn't in my lunch. "...and Mr. Robertson for Geometry."

"In that order?"

"Yep."

"Well that sucks! I'm not in any of your classes!"

"Pig's arse!" Shi swore back to me. "I guess they figured people can't handle two chakats in one room." Shi mumbled. "Maybe if they weren't such prudes..."

I shrugged. "What're you gonna do?"

"Do you want me to do something?" Shi asked curiously. I gave hir an incredulous stare, but in truth I wasn't all that surprised. Shi would have gladly marched straight into the principal's office and smacked each and every one of them.

"No, that's not necessary, I see enough of you at home in a day to last a week."

Shi feigned offense, but shi was horrible at hiding hir grins. Turning to Tyler, shi asked. "What about you cutie? You in any of my classes?"

If he was at all embarrassed by being called cute by Rosecoat, he hid it well. "I think just the math class with Ms. Murasaki."

Shi seemed delighted that Tyler was in one of hir classes and they'd get the chance to talk. Tyler seemed to register this and unconsciously walked a little closer to me. "Take it easy on the poor kid, Rose..."

"I know I know...I won't get too personal..." I gave hir another glare. "Alright! Not personal at all, but I'm not promising anything if it pops up in casual conversation."

I sighed and rubbed my temples. Rosecoat, though I loved hir, was one of the most stubborn chakats I had ever known. I wondered if it would have been better off to have hir help me this heat and then approached Tyler on the next one, but it was too late now. As if he sensed that something was his fault, he shied away a little, looking down at the ground.

By then we were only metres from the entrance. I turned to him, lifting his chin with my right paw, stroking his ear with the other. "Nothing's changed..." I promised him before leaning in and giving him a kiss like the night before. Our tails twitched and we purred in harmonic unison as our tongues danced between us, tying in our mouths. We both sensed people were watching, after all, we were within cooee of the main entrance, so we made it brief, pulling apart after only five or so seconds. "I love you Tyler..."

"I love you too Sylvia..." He turned and then walked into the school briskly, his creamy fur blending in with the interior walls of the hallway until he looked like a set of floating toffee stripes.

"Well well well..." I turned to Rosecoat, whose tail made figure eights in the air with wide, brisk strokes. "He is different..."

"Rose! That was mean!"

Shi just smiled. "He isn't different", Shi explained "but what he is to you is."

"W-what do you..."

"Silverpaw... you've never kissed anyone like that before, at least in public, I can't vouch for your actions in bed." Shi smirked. "But to make out with someone like that in front of a school?" Shi patted my upper back lightly before walking inside. "Good luck sis... I'll see you later, I need to take a Captain Cook of this place."

I was the last one to walk inside and suddenly I felt everyone staring at me, so I quickly rushed in. I headed straight to my homeroom. I was about to walk into the room and wait for the bell, rejoicing to myself as Mr. Goldman wasn't in the room. Suddenly I heard his voice and I cringed. "Wait! Silverpaw... we need to talk."

"Oh... what now..." I grumbled then turned. I then noticed the door across from my homeroom for the first time, Mrs. Redman... Rosecoat's homeroom. As if on cue, Rose strolled down the hall, holding hir schedule then noticed me, giving a wide smile and a wave.

I couldn't respond, he started to talk. "We need to talk about outside, I saw you blatantly french kissing another student outside the school. That's a gross violation of the schools PDA policy, I'm giving you a--"

Rosecoat overheard and came to my rescue in hir teasing Australian accent that seemed to make everything funnier. "Aw... what's the matter mate? Jealous that Silverpaw got a boy and you din'?" The hallway was silent then burst out in raucous laughter. Shi had not only insulted him, but called him gay too, only shi could manage that.

He was taken aback, stumbling a bit, his eyelids fluttering in shock. "I-I'll have you know that I have a wife, and that's besides the point, Silverpaw broke a rule knowingly and she-"

"Shi!" Shi hissed. "...didn't break any rule, at least not by our standards, not sure about you anthros' conchy standards!" Shi then pressed hir face to his. "We chakats have a different sort of way of doing things, we're not as prudish as you deros. Observe." Shi then pulled me close and kissed me deep on my muzzle, I returned the kiss, though I was just as surprised as Mr. Goldman was, but I figured Rosecoat had a plan. It was held for a good few seconds before shi broke it, wiping the strand of drivel that hung from hir muzzle and mine. I almost burst out laughing from the look on his face. "Now, yes, shi's my sister, yes, shi has a boyfriend, but guess what? Shi kissed back, you know why?" Shi poked him in the chest repeatedly as shi spoke, making him back up into the board. "Because we're chakats, and that's the way we do things, we have multiple mates, we do our sisters, big deal!" Shi then turned and walked out of the room, stopping one last time and turning hir head back a little. "And if you don't honor that, I'll sue you and this school for everything you've got for violation of cultural rights." Shi then opened the door to Mrs. Redman's room and slammed it shut.

Mr. Goldman was in shock and he just stayed there, back against the chalkboard for the whole homeroom as I went back to my spot. Valentina was there beside me.

"Damn! Vitriolic!"

I chuckled sheepishly. "That's my sis for you..."

"Shi was right though, bastard got what he deserved."

"That's for sure..." I mumbled. "I hate him."

"Everybody does... though... I had to admit, that kiss was kind of hot."

I blushed, rubbing my lips. "Felt hot, that's for sure. Shi certainly knows how to plant one."

"I think it had the same effect on everyone." Shi smirked, as most of the boys in the room had crossed their legs, sitting awkwardly, occasionally giving a little cough.

"So I see..." I remarked bluntly.

"So... I overheard you french kissed a boy outside school?"

"Yeah... he's my boyfriend."

"Really, already? Who?"

I turned slightly. She was the first person besides Tyler to talk to me like a friend, it wouldn't hurt her to know. "You promise to keep it secret?"

"Of course."

"Well... you know Tyler Hawke?"

"Oh him? Awww... that's so cute, he's so shy."

"He's a wonderful guy if you get to know him."

"I'm sure he is. I've been meaning to talk to him, but I've never gotten the chance."

"What about?"

"Nothing in particular, sometimes I just like to talk to people to try and understand them better. I like to talk to people like Tyler, who are very likable, but too shy to make friends. They're honest, loyal and will do just about anything for you." My look must have been a tad shocked as she had blanched. "Not that I use them or anything like that!"

"No no, I know what you mean Val."

She brushed off a couple wrinkles in her blouse. "Hey... Silverpaw? I don't mean to be rude, but is the rumor true?"

"What rumor?" I asked, tilting my head.

"That you let Tyler take a picture of your..."

"My breasts? Yes, that's true. His family is desperate and he needed the money to pay for food."

"Wow, I mean, that's nice of you, but even I wouldn't do that just to give him money."

"It wasn't that big of a deal for me. I mean, most of the time we walk around naked, it doesn't make that big of a difference if someone takes a picture of it. Besides, I trust Tyler."

She just smirked at me. "I wish you two the best of luck." Shi pointed quickly to the clock. "We have to get going."

To emphasise her point, the bell rang at that exact moment and we walked off to Bio together. She asked me a few more questions while we were working, nothing very consequential, I don't remember the conversation. Then, just like that, I was off to Mr. Wells. Today was a test day, I was confidant, he'd drilled the information deep into my head and I could recall it without much difficulty. I nodded to him as he entered. "G'day John."

"Shir Silverpaw." He smiled. "How are you today?"

"Heh... anxious sir..."

"Oh come now... you'll do fine."

"Not about that... it's just, a bit of..." I coughed nervously, not sure if Mr. Wells would want to hear about my relationship. "...well er, I'm in a relationship, and I want to see him again."

He let out a hearty chuckle. "Oh! You mean Tyler? I saw him and you in the parking lot. You two love each other a lot, I could tell by the way you kissed."

"Oh that! It was just a mistake Mr. Wells... I just went a bit over--"

"Relax... I'm not going to admonish you. Sure, it was a public display, but I could tell by the way you did it that it was tasteful."

"Um... you might need to explain a bit here Mr. Wells..."

"John." He reminded. "And what I mean is that you were just sharing your love. I'm good at reading faces and expression, whatever was passing through your minds was love, not lust, and you ended it early. Hence, you weren't really doing anything wrong." He handed me a test absently. "Though I've been hearing the fallout of your sister's tirade on Mr. Goldman for the entire first period. He deserved it without a doubt. I just had no idea Chakats could be so... forceful."

"Shi speaks hir mind for sure."

"Hmm, about time somebody decided to stop being a sheep here." He mumbled under his breath going back to his desk. "School system... stifle creativity... too many rules... not enough variation... Roger Waters had it right." He looked up. "Oh right right, the test, go on, it'll take the whole period."

The Pink Floyd reference surprised me, but only to a point, from how open minded he was on other things it didn't strike me as odd he would like progressive minded rock music. Another Brick in the Wall was stuck in my head for the entire duration of the class and I couldn't help tapping my forepaw in beat to the song as I answered questions.

Soon I was at Lunch again and Tyler was there waiting for me. "I'm sorry I can't come over today." He started as I came over to the table. "My dad wants me home to help with some things, and he was a bit mad I never came home last night."

"I know... I'm sorry I kept you up there for so long."

"It's alright, it was more than worth it... being close to you." He blushed softly and turned away.

"Tyler, be honest with me for something, did you actually have a crush on me before we met?"

"I did... from the moment I first saw you, but I was afraid to ask you. Not only am I shy, but what I knew about chakats and your... lifestyle, I thought that it would call my beliefs into question." He sighed. "There aren't many devout Christians around, so a lot of people tease me, tell me to loosen up."

"I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable by asking you to..." I cleared my throat, knowing he'd fill in the last word.

"You brought up a good point. As much as I love God, He also made heat, if He truly did not want us to make love before we are joined in marriage, then He would not have made that."

"You don't have to, the more I think about it, the more that I think that I was rude to make such an enormous request from you."

He was silent for a few moments. "It's a tempting offer..." He smiled a little. "But after a lot of thought, I'm going to do it. You've made the promises, you've made that point, and I've talked it over with my dad." I coughed and choked on my water. "He's alright with it, as long as I use a condom... it took a lot of convincing." He took another drink. "Oh, and tomorrow, he wants to meet you to make sure he knows what I'm getting into."

"Why would your dad agree to that? Isn't he religious just like you?"

"Of course he is." He sighed. "But all and all, he just wants me to be happy and have a better life, if that life involves you, well, he's willing to make a few compromises so I can keep you."

"You don't have to do anything for me Tyler!"

"I know I don't, but my dad doesn't know that!" He sighed deeply then whispered. "Look... if I back out now, my curiosity is going to kill me."

"Curiosity killed the cat." I quipped.

"Yes well... " He rubbed his arm absently. "Part of any good relationship is making concessions to your mate. You've already done so much for me, you made those promises, you gave me money so my family can eat, you've offered us surplus food if we need it. The least I can do is do one thing for you."

"I don't need restitution Ty... I'm just doing that out of the goodness of my heart."

"I know I don't have to do anything for you, and I thank you for that. But... God forgive me, I want to mate with you."

Everything seemed to get unnaturally quiet then, I could think of nothing else meaningful to say. Thankfully Tyler continued. "I... love you Sylvia, and I love God too, there's a time where I'm going to have to tell a teensy tiny lie to one of them..." He chuckled softly to himself. "I'm not taking your virginity, we're mutually in love, we're not doing this just for our own pleasure and we're not having a child, I don't see how He could judge me that harshly... I'm sure He will understand."

I smiled. "I promise you, just this once then."

He blushed softly and whispered in my ear as he went to throw out his trash. "If we get married though, I promise you I'll do it as often as you want." I widened my eyes and let out a seductive purr. That was a thought I could get used to. Already with that comment my eyes attempted to see under his clothing and I had to shake my head violently to snap out of it... and there were still two days to go. I quickly finished up my lunch and left the room, waving goodbye to Tyler.

Mr. Robertson, as oblivious as ever, simply droned on about logical proofs, the various laws and stuff and I frantically tried to absorb the information long enough to do well on the test. Thankfully with such a merciless barrage of information the period passed by seemingly in minutes. Then I was off to the dreaded last class, English with Mr. Goldman.

He seemed to be doing everything in his power to make me miserable, calling on me, calling out my mistakes, inciting the other students to laugh at me for some of my blunders when he gave me a particularly difficult problem. I found though that I only needed to give him a glare and remind him of my sister to make him shut up. I would not take any more from him, from anybody at that school. I was reading when the bell rang and I marched out of school. My sister waited outside and joined me for the run back to the house. "So, how'd it go?" I asked hir.

"Pretty well I reckon, 'cept everyone's brains went cactus when they saw I wasn't wearing a lower cover, equivalent of not wearing pants I guess."

"Anybody give you trouble?"

"A couple teachers tried to harp on me for not wearing it, but I gave 'em a good piece of my mind and they shut up." Shi chuckled. "How 'bout you? That Goldman bloke giving you anymore trouble?"

"He tried to make my life miserable, but I just reminded him that you were my sister."

"You're welcome." Shi grinned. "I heard from a few of the students that Goldman is a real conch, that true?"

"You have no idea, you're lucky you don't have him for any classes."

"You're right about that, I'd probably end up giving him a good backpaw." We laughed together, about half home.

"So, anybody give you any trouble?" I asked hir

"You mean dare to give me any trouble." Shi looked over to me. "Yeah, a couple of times. They kept talking about how they wanted to fuck me behind my back." Shi sneered. "So, one time, I just turned around and said 'Well if you wanna do me so bad, why not just ask? If you dare.' That shut 'em up. Still, one guy, think he was a jock, came over and told me that he had the biggest cock in school."

"You're serious?!" I blurted out.

"Yeah! Can you believe it? So, I dragged him out, bailed him up against a locker and gave him a good mule kick to the nuts."

"How the bloody hell do you get away with this stuff?"

"Nobody tells when they're afraid of you but attracted to you at the same time. Boys like a girl with spice."

"What about the girls?"

"They didn't particularly care, they thought the dude got what he deserved. Not to mention that I got quite a few of them gossiping."

"About?"

"A couple of them asked that if I was a herm, how endowed I was..."

"Oh Rose..."

"...so I told them. Man did that cause some hilarity! One girl even gave me her number."

"Say what you will, I still think you're more of a root rat than me."

"I'm not gonna call her, especially when you're going to need me on Friday."

"I've got Tyler to do that."

"Yes, but he's going to be using a condom, or at least I hope. You need liquid to end heat, I've been pawing off to make myself sterile for you so that after he's done, and the burning returns, I can end it for you."

"Oh that's right, never thought about that." And it was true. To end heat, regardless of species, you need actual semen in your womb, or else it will just return and you need to please yourself again. Of course you can just wait it out with toys and non ejaculate sex, but this takes a couple of days and can be extremely frustrating.

We arrived back at the house and the car was gone. "Night is out working the night shift, so we've got the house to ourselves." Rosecoat explained.

"What about Moonbeam?"

To answer my question, shi stepped out of the house wearing a black suit top. "There you two are! I'll be gone for most of the night, I'm going to some job interviews around Wellings and Helena. Go make some food and keep an eye on Windsoul." Shi gave us both a kiss. "Bye you two." Shi set out in a jog towards the road we just came from.

"Why didn't you tell me that?" I shouted to hir.

"You weren't home." Shi shouted back.

Rose patted my shoulder. "I'll make dinner, you keep Windy occupied."

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door I was tackled by the little chakitten. "Silvy! Silvy! Moon told me you're gonna be going into heat again, can I help, can I help?!"

"One thing at a time Windy!" I said, sweeping hir off hir paws and nuzzling into hir, making hir giggle. "Have you had anything to eat today?"

"I... had a sammich for lunch."

"I got it!" Rosecoat called from the kitchen. "I'm making hir some Mac and Cheese."

"Yummy!" Shi raised hir arms in approval. Shi thought for a second. "Hey! You still haven't told me if I could yet!"

I kissed hir cheek and tickled under hir arm pits, making hir squeal in laughter. "I'm gonna be having a friend help me, but if I need to have more help, I'll ask you."

I would actually probably mate with hir a couple hours after Tyler finished and I wasn't in a lot of need. When you're a cub chakat, mating time is really bonding time between sisters and parents, to show hir what shi's doing right, what shi's doing wrong, how to make someone feel really good and when or when not to do it. It was one on one time and it would be the anthropomorphic equivalent of playing with your little sister or daughter. Someone that small would not be able to satisfy me in heat, but it was our responsibility to teach hir so that someday shi would be able to. By satisfying the curiosity about hir body early, we were teaching hir how to be a more calm and caring person. The same thing would happen in hir pubescent days, when hir vagina first opens and shi first starts to feel heat. The principle of family unity rules every part of chakat life.

Shi smiled and hugged me tightly. "Thanks sis."

"No problem. Hey, you wanna draw? You wanna play with markers?"

"Yay!!!" Shi called out happily and immediately ran over to hir stash, pulling out some paper and markers, doodling shapes and making crude but touching sketches. "That's Moon... that's Night, that's me, that's Rosy and that's you Silvy!" Shi took out a pencil and neatly wrote our names (or rather our nicknames) beneath each of our images.

"Great job! Let's go hang this on the fridge." Shi pranced after me, swishing hir tail as we walked into the kitchen.

Rosecoat was standing there, stirring a pot quickly. "Mac and Cheese for all of us." Shi saw the drawing in my paw and smiled. "Did you make that?" Shi set the pot down and scooped up Windsoul, kissing and nuzzling into hir. "That's so good! You're like Picasso!"

As they were playing I gave a warm smile, hanging it up on the refrigerator, the first drawing to go into the new house. They were still wrestling and nuzzling so I put out some noodles onto each of our plates. After a minute or so, Rosecoat put Windsoul down and stood by the table, taking out a fork and eating. The table was too high for Windsoul, so we put out a stepping stool for hir and we all ate in peace as shi prated on about all the cute boys and girls in hir class and how everybody had been so nice to hir even though shi was so different. In a way this made me glad, it was nice to see that the extreme youth still had manners.

Rosecoat asked. "So, did the teachers tell you to say anything about Chakats?"

"Uh huh! She told me to tell about us in a nutshell. So I told them that we walk on four legs, are boys and girls at the same time and that we're really nice to other people."

"You didn't tell them anything about mating habits... did you?"

"Nope! Night told me that I shouldn't say anything about my private places or what I do with them."

"Did you make any friends?"

"Yep! Alota' them were really nervous, but the teacher told them there was no reason to be afraid of me, then I gave everyone a hug."

"So did you have fun?"

"I had lotsa fun! I can't wait to go back tomorrow." Shi had been shoveling in food and burped loudly when shi finished. "Oops! Sorry..."

"Go wash up, and then Rosecoat will play Wii Bowling with you." I reminded hir gently.

Shi nodded happily and the sound of running water was heard. We had both finished too. Rosecoat gathered up my dishes and set them on the counter to be done later. "It's around seven, do you want to go to bed early tonight since you'll be hitting heat soon? It's a lot easier to deal with when you're asleep."

"Yeah, but I gotta do homework."

"No problem, I'll take care of Windy tonight, you just rest up when you're done."

"Thanks Rose."

"No problem."

I went upstairs and plopped down on my bedroll, scribbling down some answers to worksheets for Bio, reading over a chapter introduction for Global, doing some bookwork drills for Geometry and then doing an ungodly amount of grammar for English. All in all it took me an hour as I heard the sound of crashing pins from downstairs and occasionally a cheer. I rubbed my hind legs together and moaned under my breath, wincing softly. It was beginning very soon, probably in the middle of the night the next day it would be in full swing. I panted softly, opening a window before I fell asleep.
