Chapter 2

"Sarin... honey? It's time to wake up." Her mother's voice... "Sarin. Sarin!" "Sarah!" The fox stood over-top of her, her fur hit all ends at the sight of his face "S - Sarah?" The fox put his fingers over his eyes and rubbed them before throwing Sarin some jeans and a shirt. "That is what your I.D tells us. We just ran a proper diagnostic." "O - Oh!" Sarin was suddenly worried now and quickly dressed "You pretty much have an empty data bank. I guess you really are one of the early solider models." "Huh?" "Yeah you need to be trained by hand so it seems. So... Ta-da..." He seems utterly sarcastic... "I have to be your combat trainer from now on." "What?" Sarin's eyes sunk her memory was on the young child suddenly. I have to be trained by him? She gulped down. "A - Are we starting today?" The fox gave a humorous look "I love your attitude! No, but we need to find you lodging within our home here." The fox let a paw out to present it; a huge facility with the reaches of the night space crawling around. "This here used to be the first massive colony outside of earth, originally built on mining purposes with the full ability to move and constantly mine asteroids and other space-rocks to find material. Many, many useful things can seemingly come from this huge floating city. Here we have everything, almost every tested H.I.A race and most of the humans too!" "... You seem different today..." Sarin swallowed hard "Oh, my apologies. In field I tend to turn into a real hard-ass, here though is home and I calm down a helluva lot." The fox helped her out of the landing-craft. "Yep home sweet home." Sarin gave him an awkward smile "You're very different today." "The chip deactivates within a place like this unless an alarm is called, it was a failsafe for human safety." Human safety? "Are there humans here?" "A few handfuls running around, if you don't count androids that is" He said. Sarin and the fox passed into what looked to be a pressure chamber "Quarantine. Please remain calm, we will run diagnostics now." The machine repeated running again and again until the chamber filled with a soft stinging spray "What is this stuff!?" Sarin coughed and hacked it out "This stuff kills most harmful pathogens and bacteria it's a pain to get in a wound." The fox then took Sarin by the paw and she walked into something she passed out on. The lamps, the sky, the air and the sounds, it was almost as if they were walking through a city. "Huge work on the holographic systems really, I always guessed that being in space and away from earth so long; one would miss some of the basic sights of a true home" Sarin marvelled at all of it, the night sky and clouds looked so real to her. She swore that she could touch them. "Keep up Sarah" She would never get used to his suddenly calm voice. "If you're wondering where Mick and Chase went off to, they had some business to attend to; Mick's an engineer believe it or not." "An engineer?" "Yep, lucky bugger has two chips. One for combat and the other for mining and engineering; lucky shit's personality stays the same though..." The fox continued to chatter on, his tail swaying tenderly behind him and a happy spring in his step. Sarin (Now Sarah) felt a cold shiver dart down her back. His sudden personality change was terrifying. Her mind went back to the young infected child. He looked about twelve years old... A bitter swallow hit the air. She was about to question him - getting mad when somebody ran into her. Sarah felt her blood boil. The male wolf was wearing a crisp-white apron and held up his paws defensively - submissively. His eyes, fur pattern and color - everything... It was Sonika. "You..." The slim wolf paused, she noticed his thin muscles stiffen. "Fucking little SHIT!" Sarah got a good quick jab in before the sergeant dragged her off laughing so hard that she swore he couldn't breathe. Sonika just stared - damn near terrified and holding his jaw. "First day and you're already bitching at Sonny." He chuckled more, wiping a tear from his eyes. Sarah was stunned by his strength. "We're gonna get along just fine!" "His name is Sonika." She threw his grip off "I'd recognize that ass-hole anywhere" and stared at Sonika, still standing - frozen in place. The fox laughter quickly died and a disturbed look came to his face. "What's your name?" "Sarin." She replied promptly. "..." His eyes went wide. "Sonny, come with me." Sarah snarled as he walked by. "We need to see Chase and his team now." The sergeant nearly escorted Sarah, watching her cautiously. The three of them walked for about forty minutes. She'd yet to see any humans...

"What do you do here Sarge?" Sarah played the question off casually. He grinned in response "I'm actually part of the police force." The fox sent his gaze to a group ahead of them. "Believe it or not we have gangs and even reformist groups that try to take us out; those who don't agree with the heads of the military." He sighed as the small group dispersed. "Just like any city on earth there's the slums and the rich." "Most of the cities on earth are gone. Mossy, destroyed and every now and then you'd find a body or two... those who couldn't run from the war." The fox picked up his pace "I'm stunned that you can remember all of this even after the DNA integration. Not to mention over four-hundred and fifty years of Berovo-stasis. You might be able to avoid direct field work..." Sarah's eyes sharpened, she'd be able to stay here? "What would I need to do!?" She nearly exclaimed it and the fox sharpened onto her. "Well we are missing a lot of data on earth; cities, histories and such. Depending on how much you know and are willing to learn, you may be able to become a scholar." "A scholar? I like the sound of that." "But, you may have to do runs to earth for data and that can be just as dangerous" Sarah didn't care; the thought of home was like a light that brimmed into the darkness of her cold new heart "Where can I sign up? There was an old library near my home on earth; I'd go there all the time... I..." Sarah cut her words off, hesitant to say any more. "What?" "I learned how to read. It was my secret..." The fox stared up to a building - all of them more or less looked the same but this one was different. It was a clean white unlike the grey, or brown, or even black colored buildings. "This is the medical hall. Chase is going to hook you up to some machines and scan your brain." "Like an EEG scan?" The fox stopped again. "Your chip was definitely empty when we checked. You may just be our massive step forward." "Why am I here?" Sonika finally spoke. "We're scanning you too Sonny, now shut up and follow." He snapped to attention and followed the Sargent in. Sitting at the counter a brown-haired, green--eyed fellow looked at them from down the lined way. Sarah's breath was taken away. A human. The fox stepped up casually. "Yo." "Officer Amador." "Chase in? We need a full Devera scan for these two ASAP." The fox put a paw in one of his pocket and smirked to the human across the counter. "I'll call it in right away Officer Amador." His eyes adjusted to Sarah. "You must be the newest edition to our Mining facility. Welcome, I am Andrew, Serial number seven, six, eight, X." Sarah paused for a minute "Oh. Artificial right?" She studied him closely - he sure as hell didn't look artificial. "Correct. But I'm as human as you." His tone did have a bit of a metallic ring, but even with her canine hearing she could hardly pick up on it. "I understand." She said with a smile and Andrew went back to his business, for whatever reason he seemed happier from that. After a lengthy talk on a communicator Andrew sent all of them upstairs. That's where Sarah saw Chase again. He looked a little worn out and tired. His walk and the look in his eyes remained unchanged from when she first saw him. Her eyes began to fill with worry - he looked like hell "I can tell what you're thinking of." The fox appeared to her left. "They don't turn off his chip at all, its overkill if you ask me. It's all because he's the medical professional - one of the best in fact." He sighed and Chase took a sip of coffee before meeting his eyes with hers. "You want her under a full Devera scan?" "She can remember her name and the place she lived before all of this." Chase dropped his coffee cup. The stainless steel clanked on the floor. "Alright, I guess she remembers him too right?" "Hell she tried to rip his head off." "Not surprised. It's Sonny after all. Come with me, the two of you." Chase led them to a room in the back. The place looked like a hospital (Except the walls were intact, same as the floor unlike what Sarah remembered) They came into one room with two machines - they looked like some kind of bed, encased in glass. "Undress entirely; both of you and go into the Devera-scanners across from one another." "What?" "Did I stutter Sarah?" The rabbit adjusted his glasses "for the scan to work properly there can't be any material covering your body. You too Sonny" He barely questioned Chase and began undressing - facing away from Sarah. Shortly after she did the same and Chase went to the machine without a second look. "Now lie down, relax and just let the machine work. It'll flood the air very lightly with a sleeping mixture. Just a whiff can knock you out for about half an hour which is perfect for the test." His voice came over a small speaker in the glass case - they were entirely soundproof. Sarah shifted a bit and closed her eyes - letting a sudden sweet scent overpower her.

Sarah felt awake but something told her she was asleep. The city - her city enveloped her; welcomed her with open arms and endless - timeless shards of dust that hung over her. Like spirits and ghosts the dust just floats - still; lost in time. Outside of the scan one would only see her closed eyes barely twitching, but here she ran. She ran through the streets on her own two legs, ran through the buildings she once knew and listened to the radio boxes that swam by her. The familiar songs - the scents and the wolves somewhere down the way. She turned around and she saw herself... It was the day before she blacked out and woke up an H.I.A There was Sonika and Kiro. Sarah stared and listened to them. There was nothing but growls and vicious barks... She couldn't understand them anymore but for whatever reason she wanted to hear Kiro again. After a while Sonika left and Kiro did too with Sarin. Sarah followed them both, tailing them - running after them. She was home; with the pack - her family and den. Sarah sat down next to Sarin watching her slip into depression; hardly touching the food that was in front of her. In truth the scent of a fresh kill felt too overpowering for Sarah, she felt like throwing up. She watched and looked around at all of the people she once knew - the people she grew up with. These are memories Sarah, just memories... She kept up with herself after that, following her through the woods like some sick puppy. A few hours passed... From the forest to the city and back around again - Sarah was reliving her final moments as Sarin. Just this time she was experiencing it all on her own two legs. The sun was dropping quickly and Sarah could see her breath catch into the win*d and flutter away to the orange - green looking horizon that stared dauntingly back at her. It was the first time she'd ever seen that color so vibrantly - the green and the orange. It didn't feel right; it didn't look at all natural. The chill was starting to catch up with her, dropping in temperature faster and faster - for a dream it even felt real. Something was rubbing against her legs and Sarah figured out that it wasn't anything living. The entire earth felt like it was rumbling - shaking, sounds were somewhere in the distance. The scent of burning oil The roar of a machine that sounded quieter than anything she'd heard before The trees howling and casting the wind further into the forest. It was time, Sarah bolted down the way - going to where the wind was coming from. Almost there, the machine was in sight. She was almost there when everything went dark and stayed that way.

The next time Sarah woke up, the lights were dimmed and the room was dark. She shifted looking around the glass sarcophagus she was nestled in for the time being. Wait is the scan done then? Another few moments to look around and she took in a long and calm breath. Everything was fine. Her ears perked Voices? They were coming from a light further in the room. She couldn't hear what the voices were saying. Slowly she pressed her paws against the glass and pushed, a hiss touched the air and it quietly opened. Sarah grabbed her clothes, dressed and then snuck over to the light. "Sure most of the results are inconclusive but they have detected a lot from time to time." Officer Amador's voice brushed against her ears "The results are skewered." Chase, he suddenly moved in front of the ajar door "I hardly get the chance to properly identify any of the readings before they're sent back to HQ" Amador sighed bitterly "Just keep finding a way around it." "What do you really think I've been doing over the past year? Fucking around?" With clear agitation in his tone, Chase stepped away from the doorway - letting Sarah see again. "I've been researching the software in my precious spare time and I've found nothing. If we had a proper hacker everything would be easier." "That's why we need to know what we can about her - if she really remembers everything from before she can beat the system." A strong scent whipped across her nose - cigarette smoke. Amador took one from Chase. "I haven't seen an empty chip before, they're always programmed, and the number of fail safes... It just makes them harder to crack." A trail of smoke came from the fox's muzzle; he took a drag in before looking at the bright light above him. He seemed tense as he studied the roof. "You're entirely sure that this floor is soundproof right?" "Camera's, audio-tech, and any microphones disrupt the Devera scan. Hell you could kill somebody from technology interference." "For the future and shit we really haven't advanced much, have we?" Amador chuckled and coughed before taking another drag, Chase followed almost by example. "We never will, we're practically human afterall." Chase crushed the cigarette and stood up from his chair. "The test should be done by now." Sarah took that as a notion to move back. She took her stance by the scanner and quickly threw off her shirt. Slowly she started to casually put it back on, right when Chase left the room. "Chase?" He seemed quiet before checking a computer, the key tapped for a while before he looked back at Sonny. "Christ he's a lightweight." Chase's paw brushed against the back of his head as he sighed and opened the scanners hatch. Sonny was still out like a light. After a moment he came back - leaving Sonny in the next room, asleep. Chase came back, adjusting his huge floppy ears before turning Sarah's way. "The results will take a while to decode, but for now why don't you go with Sargent Amador for now; he'll show you where you can sleep for the night." "Y-Yes." She spoke quickly, throwing her shirt back on and grabbing her shoes before leaving with the fox. Outside the air from the hospital rushed behind her - she noticed it before, while walking in but didn't take any notice. "It's a change of pressure caused by the ventilation. Nothing to worry about." Amador dug his paws into his pockets and began heading further into the city. "We've got the national library next, I bet we can fit you in." "Isn't... being a scribe supposed to be something really important?" Amador flashed a note "I got permission from the doctor" He said with a smirk "You are right, only chosen people are allowed. But... with a few words from Chase that changes pretty quickly. Afterall having the top recommendation of our best medical specialist is a force to be reckoned with."

Sarah followed Amador as he pointed out different points of his home away from home, he often took time to talk about his skirmishes to earth - they fascinated her even though she had lived there for her entire life. There was so much she wanted to learn about - the creation of HIA's and the story behind the infected. Just thinking about it made her feel sick and scared, the fact that they were once living breathing people. "Yeah I've fought plenty of the outlanders, some are still alive and some are dead - the host simply overtook the nervous system. There isn't much to them, other than the fact that there have been rumors about very smart parasites... such as the disappearance of one of the mining facilities a long while back - the UNSOR Kyoto... It had a huge amount of important mining information before a sudden hostile takeover." Amador sighed bitterly looking down the street names. They were cutting through a section of the city that the Reformists had politically demanded for. A damp looking narrow alley was what it really felt like, the city above seemingly crushing the one below it. The nightlife here picked up from the sights of nightclubs towards bars and even illegal gun shops. Amador couldn't be bothered to deal with the voice of the people "The police are here to serve and protect the public, believe it or not there aren't as many murders or fights as one would believe. The worst I've dealt with was a group of people trying to claim that they're species were the greatest... talk about a bunch wannabe Aryans why don't you. We were forced to round up leaders of that skin-head gang and arrest them - those orders came straight from the top." "Did you kill anybody from doing that?" Sarah was a little concerned about asking the question "No no, we just had to deal with a group of people trying to ignite racial war. I mean turning half human, half animal is bad enough... but also having people try to become the greater 'race' as well, it's really foolish." After a long while of walking alongside him, Amador stopped by a building with a large front door - it looked like some old abandoned police station Sarah remembered from earth. With steps leading to the front where wood-like doors would invite curiosity in. Sarah followed him up the steps, he knocked on the door. "This is the library, it's the only place the team wanted that's why it's so far from the normal city." "So this... library is this part of the Reform?" "Yes... actually it was the first thing they wanted to start - none of the people wanted to just abandon earth, even those born up here." "I thought you said you've only seen a child HIA twice before?" Sarah brought his words back up; it was sour to talk about... "Yes an HIA, but a human child... I've escorted about five or six of them to the main human installation." "Wow!? Really? You've seen a human being - like a real one?" Sarah couldn't hold back her excitement, given her past Amador couldn't blame her and began laughing. "You're a lot like I was; I want you to know that." The fox smiled warmly and Sarah found that she was starting to blush, thinking about her childish behaviour. The moment they walked in they were met with the sounds of gunfire - Sarah froze and dove after the third spasmodic sound rang in her ears. Amador started howling in laughter 'Why the hell is he laughing!? We're getting shot at!' He opened a door the sounds grew louder "YO MAVERICK!" Amador yelled in his parade voice. A Red Panda fell out of a chair with a controller

"HOLY SHIT!?" he yelled as his chair nearly fell back - he muted the TV "A - Amador? Hi, I wasn't expecting you today..." He smiled softly. Sarah looked at the black controller for a moment and skimmed over the flat-screen TV. "Thought you'd be busy researching..." He stood seriously and Maverick let his eyes stray to the floor. "I took a break about an hour ago... I made some lunch and decided to chill..." The panda replied nervously - he was a little chubby, adjusting the small. Thin - rimmed glasses on his face. Amador started laughing "You should've seen your face!" He said before howling in more laughter, the Red Panda blushed furiously "YOU JACKASS!!" He barked back "I really thought I was in trouble..." "Well you got a new member of the team." Maverick looked over Sarah curiously, he smirked playfully after and Sarah rolled her eyes "Alright cool, my name is Maverick." His paw reached out openly and Sarah shook it "Sarah." She replied and gave a friendly smile, somebody else walked into the room - a Lioness with thin beige fur, she was dressed for a fight - her face had its dignified scars. Sarah skimmed over the Lioness's muscle shirt until she came to her combat's meeting off to a pair of combat-boots. "Sargent?" She came to attention as she noticed Amador. Amador came to attention as well "Master Corporal" He replied accordingly "Rest Easy" She didn't take a normal drill stance and instead rested against the wall. "I heard the racket and then some voices over my stereo. I wanted to check up on Maverick, it's nice seeing you again." The Lioness looked over to Sarah "Who's the new meat? If you don't mind me asking..." Amador smiled "Not at all" The fox flashed the note Chase gave him "On doctors' orders, Sarah here is going to become a Scholar." "She remembers earth?" "More than anybody else really... We were surprised with the readings" Amador lied - they were still decoding them, Chase told her that... Sarah kept quiet. "Awesome, my name is Jaylin - but call me Jay." "What do you do here... Jay?" Sarah asked with a friendly smile "Glad you asked, I'm the Scholar's private escort - I go down to earth with you guys every time we make the skirmish... All the stuff in this building comes from Earth." Jaylin said, looking over the somewhat-modern looking living room. "We try to make it look as much like earth would've." Sarah looked over Maverick "What do you do Maverick?" "I study and put together field notes and such... I also love to refurbish broken things found on earth" He looked to the TV "Like that flat-screen or even the gaming console. I'm also a wicked radar technician." He slid that in with a smirk, Sarah ignored the smile "It's good to know we have somebody who knows their way with technology." Jaylin rested her large - broad arm over Sarah's shoulder "So what do you do?" "I have an empty chip actually..." Amador nodded "That was another thing I forgot to mention, she was in Berovo-Stasis for at least four-hundred and fifty years. She has a blank chip so I need to train her - if you'd like to help with that Master Corporal that would be much appreciated." Jaylin looked blank and perplexed before she nodded "Of course Sargent, I'll assist with training her." "I'll help her with the tech work!" Maverick said quickly "I mean, she'll need to learn how to at one point." Amador nodded and laughed "Of course Maverick, just don't talk too technical to start alright." "Sure thing..." Maverick turned the TV's volume to low and continued playing. It looked like some random war game. "Alright, if you don't mind Sarah... I'd like to test your physic" "My physic?" "Yes, I have an entire gym in the other room. I'd like to test the basics so I know what I'm working with." "Oh, well sure." Jaylin took Sarah's Paw "You better be off break before I'm done Maverick!" The Lioness called and Maverick nodded with a whine. Amador was busy chatting on his radio by that point. "I'll be back later - be sure to fit her in with the other members later, and find her a room for the night!" He left outside, still talking on his radio before disappearing into the city.

"Alright Sarah, we're going to start with chin-ups. Try for twenty." Jaylin said, bringing her to a bar in the room. It was a huge room with mats and machines and a huge weight rack. The room was air-conditioned and fairly bright. "But first" She tossed Sarah a pair of sweats "Put those on, it'll be better than wearing jeans." Sarah took her pants off, switching them out with the sweats - Jaylin stared at her as she did. "Alright!" Sarah clenched a fist "Let's see what I can do!" She took her spot under the bar and lifted herself up - the strain wasn't bad after the first two but it started to burn after the third. "Four...Five...Six..." 'Alright maybe I'm not amazingly strong...' "Eight... No try that again your arms need to pass ninety degrees. Again... Eight... Nine..." Sarah let go of the bar "Sorry. I can't do any more..." Her arms were numb and starting to throb - her chest felt strained just as much... "No that was fine - you're allowed to fail training, just not field work." Jaylin chuckled "Now let's do some crunches - I want about forty to start and we'll see from there." Sarah lay down on a mat below her.

After about twenty five of them - proper and controlled, Sarah started to really feel the burn lock up her abs. "You're at twenty-eight, don't stop now." She hit thirty-three; there was no way she was going to back down. Once Jaylin said forty, Sarah did one more for 'luck' and stopped. "Okay, that's all I can do." She laid all the way back, thinking for a minute. "Well you're under the minimum for both." "What?" "The minimum is beyond that" "..." She swallowed "Who invented that!?" "The same people who made our chips, but Amador is right... you will need to be trained by hand..." Jaylin sighed and flipped to her feet, walking over to a counter. "So.. what's the nex-" Something suddenly flew by her face, a knife. "Hmmm... your reaction seems norma-" "WHAT THE FUCK!?" Sarah suddenly jumped after, realizing what had really happened. Jaylin felt her paw hit her head. "WHA WHA WHA WHA???" "I was wrong..." Jaylin put the other throwing knife down. Sarah stayed dead quiet "Alright... I'll have to work with that too. Why don't you take a break for now" Sarah nodded and quickly walked out of the room before collapsing on the now vacant couch.

"I guess she threw the knife at you?" Sarah nodded and looked over to Maverick; he was busy typing on a computer. She could hardly follow the Red Panda's fingers as they clicked on the keyboard. "Yeah that's one part of the testing... this weird psychological bullshit" "I guess you don't like it either?" "I hate it." He spoke with this passion behind him and Sarah found herself smiling a little. "So... what are you doing?" "I am uploading the most recent findings we had of earth." Sarah immediately bounced over and leaned in to watch the screen. Maverick looked over to her chest for a moment, Sarah didn't notice. "What did you all find?" Maverick took a second to respond "Oh! Uhm we found possible evidence of survivors - which is very good and we researched a little more into some of the forests around the city for toxicity levels. Everything has been going great so far." Sarah looked over the pictures he brought up on the computer screen. "The forest has definitely been taking back the city..." "Yeah and best of all there isn't as much damage to the ecosystem from the cities degrading as we originally predicted." Maverick looked back up to Sarah, looking at her face this time. "So with the time we've had away from earth and the fact that everything has been healing nicely all of us might be able to make it back." A set of footsteps came into the room and Maverick turned, Sarah looked to the Dingo right after. "Mick?" The dingo looked her way "Well I'll be damned." "You know each other?" "Him and Amador were the two who helped me out... Along with Chase, of course." "Yep ran into her after an infected caught her" "D - DON'T SAY THAT!!" Her face went completely red, it reminded her instantly of Kiro, when he started touching her tail. Mick smiled teasingly "What? I'm amazed you could control yourself at that point. I mean the hormones and being escorted by three males" She started to blush furiously "Well I got a little turned off by all the blood and gunfire." "So you were into at least one of us..." "N - Not true!" Maverick shifted uncomfortably. "C - can we stop..." His face was flushed through "Oh right, sorry Maverick." Mick chuckled and glanced at Sarah. She looked over Maverick. "What's with him?" The red panda was quiet and focusing strictly onto his computer screen. Mick urged her to follow him and she did, going into the next room over, alone with him.

"Maverick has a few chip faults... His training protocols were practically fried after a risky rescue operation but his emotional basis also fluctuated terribly. Luckily there really is only one noticeable fault." "What's that?" "He gets turned on... really easily. Especially around females." Mick smirked "Don't screw with me" "I'm being literal; his chip is literally broken it has no point. He's actually supposed to be dead but the chips failsafe was shocked at the same moment." "Alright so what does this mean?" "Well... he's going to try and hit on you, that's a definite. The guy doesn't get any action so he's gotten desperate. Hell he'd spent his time begging Jaylin before..." "I have a feeling it didn't end well..." "No no, she simply told him off. Jaylin is pretty calm and all but she isn't much into guys." No wonder why she dragged me into that gym so quickly... "Well Jaylin was just doing some fitness testing with me." Sarah was about to walk back into the room and Mick stopped her. "Ahhh... give Maverick a few minutes..." Sarah paused for a minute before getting the image "R - Really!? There!?" "Probably... unless you want to go in there and help..." "Ew god no!" "See, how about I just show you your room alright. We have a bit of a... buddy system." "Buddy?" "Yes you stick with buddy during trips to earth and live with them and whatnot... unfortunately there are three choices." "Don't tell me Maverick is one of them." "Yes he is." "Fuck." "That and our Android Jerry... or BT-81. It's an advanced recon android... it has a very small room." "Alright..." "And lastly you can stick with our final addition... you met him before..." "Wait Sonny? Really? No, no bloody way, no." "That was my reaction" Sarah started to laugh. "I can't stay with an Android if it's a tiny room..." "Well it's a closet..." "Thanks... I guess I'll stay with Maverick for a while." "Alright, it'll help the guy's confidence anyways"

"Glad... I could help..." Mick showed her around - in total there were twelve groups of two, plus three extra people. Now there was going to be thirteen groups. The place did look very earth-like, it wasn't like the hospital with its pitch white walls but here everything was detailed and there were mistakes in the structure. Mick pointed a few of them out but that didn't let Sarah think of it any less. Finally he opened the door and she half-expected some filthy room but It was actually one of the cleanest rooms in the entire place. It had a small outside balcony. Unfortunately there wasn't much privacy - it was a large round-like room with two beds pushed away from one another, there was a washroom on her side. "Maverick has the largest room ironically enough; it used to belong to one of our Special Forces... a Wolf by the name of Ky. Maverick nicknamed him Hunk, something from a video game of some sort apparently." A computer desk with a laptop caught her eye it was sitting next to a dresser. "I have the slightest feeling that two different sexes staying in a room together is common?" "Of course, it's common on every colony." Mick started "Right." "Oh and here you go." It looked like a PDA "What's this?" "A credit holder, instead of the traditional cash we all have digital credits. That little device has about two hundred on it, enough to get you clothes." Sarah looked over her outfit. "Oh okay." "We may be stuck out here but we still get paid and we still need to buy food and other necessities." "Alright I'll figure it out..." "You literally just pick out clothes, try them on and scan this at the door. The PDA registers the number and the data between purchases is sent instantaneously " "Thanks." Sarah retrieved the credit holder from Mick and he gave a small little salute with his two fingers. "I should get back to the engineering deck." "Why did you come anyways?" "Maverick messaged me." He gave Sarah a wink and walked down the hall. She didn't know if she was confused or upset.

Did that little tech geek plan this!? She snarled softly and ignored it - he only met her that day. Instead of caring about it, Sarah looked at the PDA. It was an interesting little piece of technology - complete with a map of the city. She opened up the map and a section on the room opened up with a holographic outline. She was staring at the entire colony in a single hologram. The door opened and there was Maverick. "What... are you doing in my room?" Sarah sighed and turned off the map "We are now roommates." Maverick stared at her for a moment "R-Really?" "Yes, just roommates." "Okay... you had your map open?" "Yes, I'm trying to figure the city out." "... Well I'm actually going to be doing some shopping; I need to pick up some important tech so you could come with me if you want to..." Sarah sighed bitterly, looking over the Red Panda for a moment. "Fine." She said as a mixture of feelings started brewing inside her. After a while of walking alongside the younger male she really began to think to herself. This whole world was new and different - she didn't need to be the person she was before there wasn't much to hold her down... "Are you shopping for anything specific?" "Clothes mainly, I only have this outfit..." As she was talking her eyes met with a store "There's one." 'T- That's a lingerie store..." "So? I need all of it, shirts, pants, underwear." "R - right." He smiled nervously and Sarah rolled her eyes and grabbed his paw "Just come on, I need you to help me figure this whole PDA thing out..." she dragged the Red Panda into the store with her and sat him down. After a moment she started picking out some clothes. It made her feel a little dirty really but it was a wild and crazy idea to start. "Uhm.." "What? See something you like?" She teasingly presented a few of the panties to him and almost giggled with the way he squirmed. It's definitely different here... I might just end up having more fun than I think. The thoughts of her pack came to mind as she was picking something out; there she was pestered to find a male but here... She felt like she had authority, it was empowering. Grinning she continued to pick clothes out as Maverick simply watched, confused and flustered all the same. Her eyes skimmed over the change rooms, on earth most of them had some kind of door - she remembered walking through the mall in the city before being chased off by... something. "Isn't there supposed to be a curtain or something?" It was just a light blue digital screen - like a hologram that said Vacant rolling on the front. "Uhm no, when you walk in the hologram turns into a solid red wall... it's a sensor" Sarah put her hand into the room; it turned red the moment her fingers passed the sensor. She couldn't see anything but a thick bright wall. After stepping in she turned, the wall stayed red on the inside too. Being confident in the technology she started to undress before putting on a new bra and a slim fit pair of panties, both of them were black and white trimmed - the only color she really thought that matched with her brown and black fur. She was about to take them off again before stopping. "Hey Maverick?" "... Yeah?" "Can I just wear these out?" He went silent for a moment, she thought about what she said. "Obviously under my other clothes" She added as if it were an afterthought "O - OH! Y - yes you can, the scanner will pick it all up." She got dressed and stepped out of the small room. The Red Panda was sitting on a chair outside, his jacket was now zipped up and covering down past his waist. As she was about to walk out, getting what she wanted - Maverick stopped her. "Okay you have to pay at the door, so simply hold the PDA up and face it's sensor to the door" She did and the second it was even remotely close to being as high as her chest, the light on the door was green. "You can now walk out, you just paid." "It's that easy?" She looked at the PDA, it said that it now had 185 credits left. "Yep, that's all you need to do" "That is so cool!" Maverick started to giggle "I guess it is."

After a few more shops Sarah felt like a totally different person; she picked up at least four outfits, mainly pants with a shirt of some sort. She also picked up a jacket and a pair of boots that she found comfortable; shoes just didn't feel like her. As they came around a corner, Maverick tugged at her jacket. "That's the shop I need to go to." Sarah looked over to it, the place was just a small corner shop - it reminded her of a comic book store on earth. Maverick walked in and she followed. The place was a crisp white on the inside, everything was in glass displays as if it were a gunshop - all with bright lights illuminating various pieces of tech, specific boards and even liquid chips. Sarah took a moment to look around. Maverick talked to the owner about picking up a delivery. Sarah looked over a specific android device It looked like a pet dog, small enough to fit in a school bag and poofy. Its small tongue sat just past its face and it looked at her with motionless eyes. She found it unique but creepy... "Oh that, it's an old android model It was designed originally for everyday civilians to use for internet, GPS, basic assist... hell some were made to defend humans, that was before the synthetic human line came out for the war." Sarah looked at the owner, a snowy rat with deep red-brown eyes. "That right there is made from fake fur and underneath it's a full mechanic shell. It contains a small solar reactor - which is great for the general vicinity around here. I personally upgraded the system to work here and on earth... unfortunately nobody's decided to buy it." "How much is it?" "Right now it's old... I'll give it to you for 75 credits, hell I'll even throw in the manual and set it up for you." Sarah looked at her PDA, 125 credits left... and she was done her shopping for the day... "I'll buy it." She said, looking over the small, red-furred Pomeranian like dog. The rat nodded and took it out of the display, after a while he came back, the unit was on. "It's in a basic mode, no voice yet - once you get home just read the first few pages of the manual and you can set it up." She smiled and watched as the dog jumped off of the counter. The rat gave Sarah a small uplink computer unit with a dual USB cable and the manual. It barked twice at her, sitting down by her feet - it looked, sounded, and moved like a real dog. Sarah noticed that it even blinked making it seem not so creepy. As she was walking home with Maverick, she carried her new android. "Name it Ren." Maverick grinned before chuckling as if it were some inside joke. "Ren? That's weird." Sarah frowned a bit, looking over the red Pomeranian. "I don't think Ren suits him" "Are you even sure its male?" She was skimming through the manual as he was talking. "According to the manual he is male; he doesn't have any female voice settings or anything." She stared at the Pomeranian for a while; it was a thick dark red color. "Whisky?" Maverick shrugged. "I would've named him Ren but it is your android." Sarah sighed "I don't get... nevermind" She ignored that conversation. "So what did you pick up?" "Just boring old tech that some people picked up for me... just computer motherboards and other things like it... I just feel a bit lazy today that's all." He started to chuckle "I didn't want to spend all my time doing code and other stuff that keeps me stuck in a chair all day..." "Like playing videogames?" "That's better than rotting my mind out with code" He started to laugh, Sarah felt her stomach nip at her and Mavericks did the same. "That and food" The Red Panda grinned, listening as Sarah stomach rumbled "Why don't we grab a bite to eat?" With a smile Sarah nodded "Sure, that sounds like a good idea."

They sat down at a place that offered a mixture of food, and at the end of the day she got a hamburger, Maverick got himself one too. Halfway through eating outside, her Android sitting on her lap _something_happened. At first she thought it was just a fire alarm, the loud blaring sound made her android bark before beginning to whimper. Maverick stopped eating. "Awe FUCK." He grabbed Sarah by the paw and dragged her off, her Android followed. "What's going on?" "Human Officer on deck; just follow me I'll run you through basic drill really quickly." Maverick pulled her into a washroom nearby - it was empty. "Why do - " "Everybody's chip is active now and it's against protocols to have somebody's chip inactive, like mine and yours. Learn quickly - marching, attention, at ease." He sighed "This is easy, and you won't get in trouble." Maverick quickly showed Sarah the basics, attention, at ease, stand easy; a few turns and marching. It happened so quickly that before she had the chance to question anything Maverick started to leave. "Follow me and keep in step. Your Android will follow." He began to march off, following a line of other furs and Sarah fell into step all the same, it was harder than it looked. As she did she noticed a handful pass a salute, she noticed a human in a dress uniform - an older man. They were already near the center and suddenly, after a moment of marking time (She was just marching in place with everybody else) He called, in the loudest voice she ever heard 'Mining Colony Three Halt.' She stopped, standing next to Maverick who was relaxed and standing at attention - she did the same, keeping her arms to her side. Something came up to the humans left, it looked like a large bug - Sarah froze, the insects wings sprung past and it wore a terrifying mask that matched the stretchable armor that layered it's body. It made her think of an ant, but something about it told her that it wasn't one. In a hissing like sound it stood beside the human, obviously taller like every H.I.A is but it was still taller than Sarah. "Ssssssir. It hissed looking over a mechanical clipboard. Weee have onnnne dissssabled chip aannnd aaa neew comer." It whispered to him but Sarah could pick up on the sound "Very good, where are they located." "Maaavveriiicck annnd the neeew comer issss bessside him." His eyes narrowed to Sarah and she stayed at attention, looking through the person in front of her. "Who brought her in?" "Chaaaasssse annnd Ammmadddor." It trilled and Sarah felt a shiver run through her body, it's red eyes glowed past its gas-like mask that covered its entire head. "What was she doing as she touched down?" "Acccordding to ssssoourcessss Ssssir. Aaamador bbbrouuught hhher tooo the ssscchollarsss" "Very well, bring me Chase, Maverick, Amador, and the new comer. I'd like to investigate this personally." Sarah froze stiff, hardly blinking but she swallowed trying not to sweat nervously. The bug was even larger and everybody seemed to split to the sides, she almost went to follow but Maverick tugged at her pants to keep her holding. "Maaavvverrricck annnd..." He looked at the clipboard "Ssssarrahhh" He came at attention again and Sarah mimicked him by instinct "Sir, r" Her voice was slightly ajar from his but the timing was nearly perfect. The winged insect came up to them both. "Thhheee Offficccccer wantsss tooo chaaattt..." He urged them to follow and Maverick went first, Sarah marched behind him. Behind her Whisky stepped along, staying close to her as if to not be lost in the crowd. He led them to a room and told them to step in, soon he took flight and Sarah marveled at the insects powerful wings, he swung past the city like it was nothing. She stepped in the door and the Sargent was there, along with the rat from before. "Maverick!" He replied with 'Sir!' "And you must be Sarah." "Sir!" She replied in the best drill voice she could mimic, it made the older human smile "I trust everything is up to standards?" "Yes Sir!" She replied instinctively. He nodded "Excellent." He had brown hair that was thinning grey and a unshaven shadow that hung across his face, His eyes were a cool green color. His forehead was broad and his eyebrows bushy. His chin was relatively square, rounding near the end and the age could be seen riddling his face and arms. His eyes skimmed to the Android. "Quite the interesting device, Earl?" "I sold it to her precisely forty minutes ago Sir! She didn't explain her reasons for the purchase" The rat perked up and she had to think of a lie and quick. "Sarah?" She took just the slightest delay "I believe that an Android with the knowledge of Earth before our relocation could assist in the Scholars Skirmishes Sir!" She felt her body quake on the inside. The officer seemed to tilt his head "An excellent idea." He seemed to be considering it "An older device with the GPS capabilities of cities on earth beforehand could prove useful. Earl?" "That is true Sir! The device has only been modified with a larger data bank, all previous data was relocated and the ships map was downloaded onto it, any data on earth has been left on the device" He smiled "It's great to know that our newcomer is willing to think outside of our norm..." Chase walked in, the bug behind her. "Ah the Medical Major" He grinned Chase was at attention. "Sir!" The rabbit chimed, he was still wearing his lab coat - it was lightly speckled with fresh blood. "Were you in the middle of work?" The man appeared concerned "An accident on the engineering block Sir!" He disregarded it "I trust the patient is fine then, how is our newcomer Sarah?" "Perfectly healthy given her time in Stasis Sir, she has a unique ability and an amazing memory of earth hence why she was recommended to become a Scholar." Chase filled him in quickly and he nodded "Very well, everything appears to be in order." After a while of the Officer talking to Maverick he left, stating that there was other colony's he must check. After another twenty minutes he was gone and everybody's chips were deactivated. Before she really knew it Sarah was back at the table outside of the place with Maverick. Her food had gone cold by then... "What just happened?" "Every now and then a human officer checks out the colony's luckily he was just doing a check on chip status... you did well." Maverick smiled brightly and Sarah looked down at her android, Whisky. It sat with its cute pink tongue rolled out; it was exhausting quite a bit of heat. "Don't worry, the mechanics can get really hot on the inside, its normal for that old of technology. Sarah nodded, looking at Whisky as he panted. Once they stepped back inside her new home, Maverick went to his computer with a small screw driver, he seemed to have been replacing or upgrading parts. Sarah went to her room and but her clothes into the drawers on her side, after she put Whisky on the bed and red through the manual. *Pet Android Model 7TX1* Was what the title said and she opened it, reading the first few pages in detail. 'Using the dual cable, find the cable input on both the APH device and your android model.' Sarah hooked them both up together, Whisky laid down on the bed as she was getting everything set up. Her eyes skimmed over the Pomeranian, it had a sheath like any dog would and she took a moment to realize that maybe the company made the Android a bit too life-like. 'Then follow the instructions on your APH or Android Pet Handler.' She looked at the screen. *Language: English (Default), Accent: American (Default) Settings, Advanced. Owner, Sarah. Prime Directives, Assist in all matters, Defense of Owner, GPS/Map Configuration, and Personal Enjoyment. Known Language Translation: All major languages* The APH continued to chatter on, Sarah kept putting on the settings as Whisky stayed still, lying down on the bed. *Sexuality* She continued to look at the word, they were intent on making a full android - she realized that it may have been a test to make human Androids as real as possible. *Bisexual (Default), Courtship with Owner: Yes (Default)* Sarah couldn't change that part, she rolled her eyes. *Pet Name, State it now.* "Whisky" *Whisky* It stalled for a second "Thank you for purchasing and completing the setup for your model 7TX1, the system shall now reboot; any personality configuration will occur next." Sarah waited and noticed Whisky stir awake. "Hi there." It spoke in a crisp, clean voice. "My name is Whisky." She smiled "Hello Whisky, How are you?" "I'm doing fine, thanks." The Pomeranians ears perked up and it seemed to smile "You must be Sarah?" "I am Sarah and your owner" Whisky popped up and put a paw on her thigh "Then it's wonderful to meet you Sarah." He gave a tender lick to her pants and then nuzzled her thigh, she petted him for a while but she had to admit that it felt odd. She looked to the APH, his personality was on Default. She kept it that way.

After a moment she had to ask "Do you know where I am right now?" "On a mining colony off of the planet Earth... I" He frowned "Earl... programmed me with some new things..." His voice seemed to crackle "Just give me a few moments to adjust please Sarah..." She nodded "Of course Whisky, don't strain yourself." He laid his head on her leg again, somewhat close to her crotch she leaned back on her bed, popping her shoes off of her feet. After at least a few moments of looking at her APH state *One moment please* again and again in a soft quiet voice it stated that the data check was complete and that no data was corrupted. After that a small status screen appeared showing Sarah his core temperature and his emotions, they seemed to fluctuate normally and she felt the slightest flutter when it said that he was feeling loved. Skimming through the settings in her APH it stated a section, all giving his sexual information. Apparently the little Pomeranian was dominant with a mate... Sarah felt her face fluster as she read through the settings before backing out to the main screen of her APH. "How are you feeling Whisky?" "Awesome" He replied in some hyper tone and it made Sarah giggle a little "My data core and basic ram protocols have at least four times as much space as they did before, I feel so relaxed... and my core temperature is venting very, very nicely because of it... in fact it's a little cold, which is ideal for me." "If... it gets too cold?" "It won't, but if it would my systems would slow... nothing bad would come out of it." She began to think about her talk with the officer. "You're very deep in thought, I have a wireless sensor hooked to you now..." He said "Don't strain too much" "H- How much of earth do you know? Take your time please." "Well the current worldwide time is about 25:58, based off of the Jeiichi method of course. Locally in about new York it's about 9:43 PM earth time." "Jeiichi?" "Oh, back in 2027 some corporations on Earth made contact with extra-terrestrial life... it wasn't announced until the late 2047 when the war had started with Outlanders... Jeiichi's are an intelligent lifeform that stopped around earth for a while, or so they say - the company that made me found them... They're a Reptilian like species..." Sarah looked at the little Pomeranian before flipping him about, looking for his cable input - right above it. DivDyne Institutional LTD "They make most of the Androids from what I know of." "Then most of the older androids..." "They may have a better recollection then I do... other than that I have the GPS coordinates for virtually every section of the planet... but" "But what?" "The satellite I'm running off of... it's offline, all of them are..." She smiled and nuzzled at the Pomeranian... Sarah hesitated for a moment before doing so. "You've done a great job, if you need to tell me anything ju - "An alarm started to blare again and Sarah bounced to her feet. She went downstairs with Whisky. "What's going on Maverick?" "It looks like an unidentified object is coming for us." He threw a jacket on "Follow me, I need to get to the radar room ASAP." He bolted out of the door and she and Whisky followed. After a moment of running, and watching soldiers mobilize as they passed by, she ran into Amador and Jaylin. Maverick popped into the room. "What do we have?" "It looks like an escape shuttle, the last sent coordinates came from the last ship you, Mick and Chase were on." He registered his rifle. "Can you track it in?" "It's traveling to our landing dock, it's automated to..." The Sargent growled "I want a team down there now!" A different soldier came by, standing next to Sarah "Already done Sargent" Amador made his way down and Sarah decided to follow, hanging back when suddenly somebody handed her a gun. "You need this if you're crossing by." It was a thick sub-machine gun; shaken Sarah registered the firearm and continued walking. She followed Amador to a large doorway That's where I came in? She recreated her thoughts and stared behind her. The shuttle was landing in the hanger beyond the door ahead of her, she watched a team mobilize and Amador gave a hand signal to hold. On the radio a voice rang out "It looks human from the security feed, watch your fire until further notice." "Confirmed." The door started to hiss steam, maybe from the change of atmosphere. Reluctantly Sarah lifted the gun to her shoulder and glanced at Whisky, his ears were flat - he didn't like the situation at all. The door swung open and suddenly everybody's gun clicked, red dots littered the shadow that stepped out. He held a hand up - keeping the lasers from touching his eyes. "Is that really how you people treat others?" A child, about fourteen walked in - human. The lasers dimmed off, Amador walked forward. "Sargent Amador, who are you?" "Edward Dive, Son of Richardson Dive." "Edward Dive? The son of the owner of DivDyne?" The boy shrugged "Sounds about right, most importantly -" "Your father was the head researcher for the H.I.A project, we know... How are you alive?" "Stasis, like all of you - the war is over right?" The fox sighed "No, sorry..." "My machinery was hooked up with our Civilian H.I.A... It was supposed to unlock after at least a few hundred years..." "Civilian?" Amador looked to Sarah she had the gun pointed downwards and the safety on now. "She's a civilian?" "We didn't make HIA's to be soldiers forever..." He seemed to pout. "All the chips have a backup civilian protocol, for after the war... Military didn't like that so they tried to overrun the project but they needed my father's intelligence... and he needed my lucky intuition." He stuck his tongue out like some child. Sarah looked over the boy. I'm a civilian? Whisky walked past the group of people and nosed at him. "No way!" He picked up the dog "I can't believe you all are still using the pet models! This is great!" He was grinning brightly and looked at Sarah for a moment. "My idea, I talked to my father about it and it made us into a huge Cyber genetics company!" The fox urged Edward to follow. He nodded and went through the disinfect process before finally getting the chance to see everybody up close. He was squinting before he finally checked his pocket and pulled out a case. The boy needed to wear glasses - he didn't have a chip. Grinning the blond-haired boy looked at Sarah. "You're our Civilian model alright I'd recognize your face anywhere."

"I - I am?" "Yep, there are three in total one blank chip, one with a career of choosing, and one more that has a military codec." Something hovered by... Sarah and Amador looked up. It looked like a small hover bot. "It looks like everything went smoothly." Edward frowned "Not quite dad... The war isn't over yet..." "Still I'm glad you're safe." "DAD?" Both the Fox and the Coyote-wolf stared at the hoverbot. "Yes I uploaded my personality shortly after the war really took off and put my son in stasis along with our three models. You were his favorite; he enjoyed taking care of you when you were a feral... I created myself as a machine - one of the most complex AI systems the world has ever known in order to take care of him after my body passed on..." "I want to stay with my Civilian model, Sarah." Edward crossed his arms "Anyways I need to make sure everything about her is how it should be." Whisky perked up after Sarah and Amador shrugged. "Alright, Alright, I'll make the arrangements. You don't mind having a plus one for a night, do you Sarah?" "No not at all, I'll figure something out." She nodded and Edward came right next to her. Sarah decided to take a walk home and Edward spent his entire time marveling at the city lights. After a while, leaving everything to Amador Sarah felt exhausted... "Who's this?" Maverick stared at Edward for a moment. "W- w - wait a second! Y - You're Edward!" "When did you get back?" "Well the Radar guys told me they didn't need me there so I came back." Maverick stared at the human for a minute before going back to work. Sarah made her way up the stairs to her room, Edward looked in "It reminds me of the hotel me and my dad stayed at years ago" Sarah looked at the bed "It's a huge bed so we can share it for the night." He seemed to blush "Sure, will your pet sleep on the bed too?" "Of course, I don't have a spot for him yet but there should be plenty of room." Sarah yawned, looking at her PDA; the credit holder told her it was 8:25 PM. going into the washroom Sarah took off her clothes and put on pajamas she had picked up from a store. "Going to bed?" "Yeah, I'm exhausted..." Edward stretched a little "I probably should too; being in stasis is very taxing on the body." Her eyes went wide "Wait the adrenaline, you co-" "Not with my stasis device, it's a little different." The hoverbot landed on Sarah's dresser, shutting down for the night. Whisky jumped onto the bed and Sarah climbed in just deciding to believe the boy, after a moment Edward did too - he took off his pants but kept his boxers and his shirt on. Shortly after Sarah found herself in a deep sleep...

At around 11:30 when Maverick had gone to bed, Whisky found himself awake and so did Edward. He looked over Sarah's APH. With a curious grin he noticed the settings... "So it's one of those models... if only she knew..." Playfully the boy ran a little program and laid back to enjoy the show. After a few moments of stirring the Pomeranian like dog got up getting closer to Sarah; the dog snuggled with her. Soon after Edward noticed Whisky start with the licking, first under Sarah's chin before leading to her neck. Sarah stirred a little but was far from waking up. Whisky kept going and finally reached the lip of her shirt, before anyone really could realize her shirt was up exposing her chest for Edward to see. Whisky started licking, rolling the tufts of fur that layered her tender chest until her nipples stuck out in the light. That's when the little Pomeranian started nibbling softly on the head, teething at her. She moaned in the night; barely moving and still in a fast sleep. Slipping his boxers off the boy took a moment to stare at his now hard dick. The uncut head was caught in the light and he started to rub his hands against it. Whisky kept going, kneading his little soft paws into her softly - ensuring that she wouldn't wake. After a while her head tilted to the right and the Pomeranian put his sheath against it, his cock was like any other dog. The red tip stuck past, softly slipping into Sarah's mouth; all the while she was still sleeping soundly. After a few daring humps the dog had his cock at full length, stuffed in her mouth she nearly woke and he froze while she slipped back into unconsciousness again. Panting his tongue softly dripped fluids down her chest, he softly pulled away leaving her to squirm before he found a different attraction. Edward was still busy thrusting himself off watching as the Android indulged himself. With his fangs Whisky began nibbling at her thighs, pulling away her pajama bottoms to show off her sex... As Sarin squirmed her mind was set afire by her dreams. "K - Kiro." She squealed girlishly watching as the wolf nuzzled under her chin and casually pushed her over in the midst of an all too familiar road in an all too familiar city. Her eyes skimmed at the dusty sky as the sun prickled at her fur illuminating his shadow that loomed lovingly over her. "You're right Sarin." He whispered in a tone that made a lull echo through his broad chest, she froze stiff but her body shook involuntarily. His teeth nipped at her neck and she quivered through and through. Without warning a sudden burning feeling came from her abdomen... The yearning grew larger and larger consuming her body and setting it ablaze from the passion. "We can run away together." Another tender shiver rocked her body with a heat that made her pant. Cherry-red cheeks and glazed eyes stared back at Kiro's face and her look was filled with longing. "Y - you want to?" His maw nuzzled under her chin once more as she was the dominant one. "Of course I do." Kiro's large paws pressed against her chest and his strong tongue took the time to lick at Sarin's tummy. Her body was pulsing and she realized that her legs gave way - her tail briskly scratched at the pavement nervously. The large feral stood atop her smiling with something that captivated her heart. It was a smile that she wanted to see again so badly. "You'll never leave me... will you?" With flat ears and her eyes softly watering Kiro pressed his nose unto hers "I'd never leave you." He whispered ever so tenderly and continued with his little show, licking at the nubs that hid underneath her tummy fluff. A tender whine slipped from her lips she couldn't move, couldn't protest. Her body was shocked by the feeling. Softly her paws finally moved pressing against his forehead. "W - W - Wait..." She panted squirming as the dirt softly scratched at her backside. "I-I-I I don't know what to do..." With his warm smile Kiro stared at her eyes, the Coyote-Wolf felt her ears go flat... "All you need to do is relax." His smile and soft, burning eyes made her heart flutter all over again and the emptiness in her stomach, as if a void was growing inside of her, suddenly felt like it would overtake Sarin. She swallowed and rested her head against the pavement beneath her. The next time she felt Kiro licking her was the inside of her legs, right above her crevice. With a racing heart her body continued to quake and suddenly she felt it, the hot-wet tongue slide against her. For Sarin it was terrifying yet oddly riveting. As her lips spread apart for the Wolf-Dog above her she felt the slightest tingle of pain yet the pleasure sparked in her soul. His nose breathed heavily against her labia, pressing up past her hips with a hot breath. Her fur stood on ends as he continued and she started to squirm and wiggle from the odd feeling beginning to slither within her body. She could hardly tell if his tongue was burrowing in her and suddenly she felt it press deeper, her head seemed to jolt. "It's okay I'm just pressing a little more." He pulled away and she noticed the sticky strands that kept his maw connected to her sex. Sarin felt suddenly embarrassed. She wanted to apologize for it but before she could even open her mouth he went back to work. Every lick made her nethers quiver and she felt the slightest rush stem from her body. The pleasure was overwhelming "K - Kiro!" With a sudden jolt her body arched and he pulled away, licking his lips and taking whatever juices he had away from his face. Her ears were perked and her eyes were a mixture of... everything to her. Without having the chance to move he climbed onto her, pressing his chest against Sarin's. She couldn't think and could hardly breathe. Sarin felt her heart hammer against her chest yet at the same time she could feel Kiro's heart race. It was beating so fast... Sarin's ears flattened once more, he licked her face and the scent of hers and his own mixed in Sarin's nostrils. She looked between their chests that were so close together. It was the first time she'd really seen a male, the first time she really decided to study it. His sheath seemed to sway, pulsing stiffly in the air and the tip of his cock was showing. She felt disgusted... but suddenly the dirtiest of things raced through her mind. With his sack sitting before her entryway and without too much of a warning his slick cock slid against her. It was hotter than his tongue and the wet shaft seemed to only slide about, making a mess of things. "You're so hot and wet..." He murred loudly, the sound growled in her ears. "I didn't think a female could be sticky either..." "I-I I'm sorry..." "There's nothing to be sorry about." Kiro replied and softly prodded her, Sarin felt her body jolt- her pelt stiff like a porcupines quills. Suddenly, slowly and softly it happened. The head slipped in, passing inside her doorway and sliding further into the hallway. She whined and started to pant, her eyes closing sharply as his shaft pressed further and further inside her. Surprisingly the pain was hardly there but the pleasure ignited her body. Feeling the pressure build against her insides Sarin whimpered before starting to shyly moan. Kiro gasped tenderly in reply, resting a moment with his member throbbing inside her. With fluid paws they softly seemed to run through her fur, one pressed harshly on the pavement and the other seemed to caress her body. "I'm going to start okay?" He sighed passionately, nearly growling to assert his already confirmed dominance. "B - Be slow please..." Sarin seemed to beg and he gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I will." His hips softly started to rock and she clenched her teeth together, it was sliding inside and out. The pressure was there and her body seemed to clamp on him "Y - You're gripping too tight." He quietly said, shrugging off the pain. "S - Sorry" She froze, trying to breathe "Relax Sarin." His voice coo'd and she took a soft gasp in before taking a moment. Nodding and finally returning some affection by nuzzling his cheek, Kiro began again. This time it slid in and out a little more easily. Sarin felt her paws press against him by reflex It was as if she was instinctively defying him. With the slightest growl his body sped up. "You're so beautiful." He moaned continuing his rhythm. Only soft hot whines replaced Sarin's voice her walls quivered against him and she felt her body tighten. Kiro's murring became louder as his body quietly slapped against her hips. Within the midst he suddenly dug his tongue into her mouth, without any warning her body froze again helpless to the pleasure and the sudden need to please him. It filled Sarin's mind, her position in his life. She wanted to belong to him... Her shy moaning echoed in his ears before she gave in, submitting entirely to the motion of the larger Wolf's body. "Kiiirroo..." She whined feeling his member thrust in and out of her. Every time her moans echoed easily throughout the old city but there wasn't a living soul to interrupt them. It was wild, the feeling spread throughout her body like wildfire; the passion beat her soul as if it were a drum. The music's beat rocked her soul and that beat was passion. Sarin knew the lust had overtaken her and just in time for her to feel Kiro thick knot press against her lips. She felt it spread her open and with a loud yet delicate cry the knot slipped in her. Sarin was chained to the male she wanted her whole life; tied against him with a bond stronger than any other, as if Hercules himself tied the knot between them now. She felt his body give way for the slightest of seconds, Sarin was panting heavily - she came too.

Feeling the grind Sarin looked up to Kiro, he twisted around leaving her hips to rise up - still stuck to him. Her body was quivering as his hot cream kept pouring into her body. The heat radiated throughout Sarin's body and the most love-struck feeling came over her. She was going to have Kiro's pups; Sarin knew that for a fact. Her paws swam over her tummy, matted down from the juices that mixed between them hardly moments ago. A smile grew across her face and Kiro turned his head to smile back. Sarin's rear was practically in the air and she started to giggle "You're just... so much bigger than I am" A small hint of praise rang through her voice; Kiro was a large, strong healthy male... but that wasn't the reason why she loved him so much. That wasn't the reason why she missed him. Kiro cared about her more than anybody did in the world. Morning came without a second thought and Sarah woke in her bed alone - her scent practically drowned her. Looking around she noticed her android Whisky sleeping at the edge of the bed and Edward was already gone. A sigh stirred in the room. If only dreams would come true.
