Chapter VII Picnic Lemonade

"Well," Kit said. "I'm under instructions to avoid Lord Pink Tail for the day but I'm not going to spend it in this stuffy cabin."

Going to the kitchen Kit started sorting through the cabinets and fridge and soon had a picnic basket made up. He put in an ice block to keep it cold and dispatched it to his ether space pocket. He led Shippo out the back of his cabin to the trailhead leading up into the woods on the mountainside.

He looked at Shippo and grinned, "Catch me if you can." Kit's clothing disappeared and with a shimmering of shadows he transformed into his coyote form. With a yip at Shippo he ran off into the woods. Shippo grinned and with a puff of smoke transformed into his fox form and gave chase.

An hour later on one of the many trails a group of teenage hikers paused as one of the girls pointed into the woods. "Oh look, how cute," she squealed. The others looked in the direction she was pointing to see a fox and a coyote chasing, pouncing and wrestling with each other in time honored manner of wild canines at play. They watched them for awhile until the two disappeared in the distance.

Around noon, Kit emerged in secluded clearing where a spring fed pond was located. The coyote climbed onto a rock outcropping that stretched over the pond and with a joyful yip leapt into the water. The fox looked over the edge as Kit surfaced back in his normal form. Shippo fox yipped at him from above.

"Come on in, the water's fine" Kit yelled at him.

With a puff of smoke, Shippo returned to his humanoid form but unlike Kit, his clothes carried along with his transformations so he quickly shed them before jumping into the pond. They swam and played for a while until hunger drove them ashore. Climbing back up on the rock, Kit summoned the basket from ether space and they ate lunch. After lunch they swam a little more then climbed back up on the sun warmed rock and watched the clouds pass by as the sun dried the water from their nude bodies.

Shippo looked at Kit lying next to him.

"Kit," he said at last, "being with you brings back a lot of feelings I haven't felt in awhile. You know it is a terrible thing when a Kitsune forgets how to have fun. Thanks."

Kit laughed, "No problem `Old Man' anytime."

Shippo looked over at Kit mischief in his eyes. "Old Man huh? We'll see about that."

Shippo leaped on Kit and the two wrestled until at last Kit wound up with Shippo pinned under him.

"You know that rock I told you about where I took the Boy Scout?" Kit asked panting.

"Yes"

"This is it."

Shippo grinned, "Well I'm no Boy Scout."

Kit laughed and making a show of looking down at Shippo's waistline said, "No you're much bigger."

The two laughed and with a shimmer Kit became a girl again. "Are you looking for more of the other night?" she laughed.

Shippo took her chin in his hand and looked deep into her eyes. "No," he said.

The face in his hand shimmered and Kit's puzzled face looked back at him.

"That was a fantasy," Shippo said. "Today I want the reality." And he leaned forward to kiss the young coyote. Slowly the kiss grew more passionate as Shippo pulled the young coyote against him. When they came up for air, Shippo held Kit at arms length and looked into his eyes to see his reaction. Kit suddenly looked very young and almost innocent under the gaze of the much older Kitsune.

Kit in turned looked deeply into Shippo's eyes and saw behind the youthful appearing face the depth of the years and power this fox had over him. He also saw something else, a deep well of emotion that Shippo kept locked away but in this look silently shared with him. Kit was by no means innocent but he had always been a free spirit and never seriously considered committing to a relationship. On a level he wasn't even aware of Kit made a decision. He leaned in and kissed Shippo again this time with none of the surprise of hesitation of the last kiss. Then he turned away from Shippo and dropped on all his knees and elbows, tail raised to the side.

It was Shippo's turned to be surprised. In spite of what he had said to Caitlin before, a lot of pack dynamics still dominated canine spirit relationships. Not only was Kit following Shippo's lead but he was clearly submitting to him, stating clearly that he acknowledged Shippo as the alpha in their relationship. Though Shippo had taken pains not exert his age and power here, Kit's actions not only made it clear that he was aware of it but that he willing gave himself to Shippo. As he prepared himself and his lover, he was tempted to ask if he was sure but that would have been an insult, these behaviors are instinctive to all canine spirits as well as what they mean.

Kit let out a grunt as Shippo entered him. Shippo went slowly at first allowing Kit to get used to him but soon the passions rose and they were both moving faster and faster. With a coyote howl filling the air they found their mutual release and collapsed in and exhausted sweat covered heap on the rock.

A/N: I know I've done a pitiful job of research for this story and I know several folks will let me know that pack dynamics and rank is not normally worked out sexually among males. I used it in this setting as part of point made earlier that the intelligent spirits are not just blind instincts like the animals they are based on and admit it the story is much more interesting this way.
