Chapter 4

Interlude or, fly little Toutetsu, fly…

 

A few cups of coffee, a few hundred miles and a few heated arguments of two humans.... not to mention bleats and barks, later, Leon, Jill and two animals gave a strange picture to some strangers who dared to stop at the lonely car stop this night.

It was this comical and strange that the few other occupants of this rest place could not tear their eyes away from this completely strange quartet all the time. The waitress gave it up long ago to tell her /customers/ that animals were not aloud in here.

After bitten twice (from a fox and then nearly the same time, from the strange goat- thing) she just quieted down and stopped it fully.

Who could blame the poor women? You?

 

Now it was nearly 11 a clock in night and these strange people were still debating over something she could not make sense of!

At least they paid well. About that she could not complain…but this goat…. it made her nervous! He looked at her like she ways some steak…Brrrr!

The fox was not better.

At least he left her in peace, to bad thought, that these animals and that women where with the handsome blonde all the time!

Just as the thoughts had crossed her mind a set of golden eyes glared viciously at her and the goat vanished under the table.

The waitress made that she got into the kitchen…fast!

Just in time, because in the very second she got into the kitchen, the goat's talons scratched against the door.

 

Leon paid this all no attention, he just snatched T-Chan by the neck of his fur and brought him back on the same chair, the goat-thing had occupied all the time.

What had the stupid animal this time again anyway?

Shrugging it off, he began mindlessly to scratch Tetsu lightly behind the right ear as he had seen it doing D all the time when the beast got agitated in some way. It seemed to work, because T-Chan calmed down and pffft to the door where the poor waitress hided behind from the crazy animal.

 

Jill, still unbelieving of what Leon told her in the past 3 hours and more, watched the *cute * scenery with a smirk.

Who could have believed that these two would ever go along?

She was also petting an animal, the fox to exact. Still wondering that this beast had really nine tails, the women tried to make sense of what she heard so far.

If Leon was correct, and given that his dream/memory was correct, his sister and her cousin Amanda had some splaying to do!

 

That she and Leon where related was a well kept secret in the presidium.

If someone found out, they would forbid him or her to work as partners. It was a silent ground rule so that no family related problems could come in their work. Married couple could also not work together.

Her mom was the sister of his and so they where too nearly related, end of story.

What made the entire situation nearly comical was that the goat seem to know all already and the fox not.

 

She never had thought that animals could understand humans…now Jill was not longer so sure; these two had too much intelligence in their inhuman eyes to be normal!

And thus that, they belong to D. that alone made her think of it twice before Jill told somebody that they where only animals!

Jill was not dump!

Somewhere in her mind the women remembered stories of her childhood.

Stories about beings like the fox whose ears she scratched now.

 

Kitsune, that was it what others called them.

She also remembered suddenly some myths about these creatures; what did the Japanese myths call them again? Trickster? Yes, that had it been.

Her blue eyes strayed down to meet the two red pools of the beast in her lap.

The fox had made himself home there since they had entered the shop and stayed there all the time.

Jill smiled down at him and scratched a little more forcefully at a spot, she discovered awhile before as a weak spot of the so harmless looking beast.

 

Snickering the women saw him close the eyes and practically purr in his delight to be scratched in that fashion and in that spot.

Then his eyes shoot open again with a halfhearted snarl, only to meet her mischievous grin with a pout like look.

Huffing, the fox tried to look into another direction and refused to look at her again; to get him with something like this!

Jill only smiled and went on to pet the fox, Leon had told her that his name was Ten-Chan.

His fur felt like spun silk and somehow it calmed her.

And amused her to no end to see this creature huffed like this!

 

Ten-Chan would have loved it to bite her this very moment! Luckily for the sly female she was still scratching him in this delicious manner behind his eyes…!

Now really angry with himself, the fox tried not to blush, this was a nasty way to get a fox!

He heard Tetsu snicker at his actions from the other side.

How embarrassing!

To get caught from the damned Tao Ti!

Ten had by now understood as much to put one and one together and now his only silent question in his mind was; how the hell wanted Tetsu manage it to get the thickheaded cop to give into the Totetsus wishes for his ass???

 

Not to mention that he would love to know how his friend wanted to explain this all to Leon in the first place!

Now snickering madly himself, Ten was sure that his friend better should think twice about his *betrothed* before he did something stupid. Because the cop would shoot him surely a second time if he ever got that out!

His snickers turned into howl like laughs; this was Priceless!

 

Now it was Tetsu who glared at the fox.

 

Argh! He would never live this down!

Not only the stupid nine tail knew now his secret, no, he also laughter at him…. Tetsu simply wished he could sink into the ground below him!

Now would be a good time…and to make it even worse, the cursed fox tried to hide his madly chuckles under the females shirt!!!

Suddenly the thought of telling that women What tried currently to hide under her shirt was more and more appealing for the Totetsu every minute the fox laughter more.

His teeth grind dangerously on each other, one minute more and he would eat him!

 

Leon looked clueless down on the agitated animal next to him.

What had he now again?

Shrugging his broad shoulders and calling for the waitress to pay, he got up and took wisely the beast with him. You could never know where his thoughts, maybe the beast would eat someone in his fury if he did not hold him by his pelt!

The waitress refused to come near Leon or the beast, not that he could blame her; snarling and trashing like Tetsu did it momentary. Finally it was Jill who paid the bills and they all where off and out of the truck stop.

 

Jill shook her tresses at the funny picture the beast and her cousin made outside the truck stop.

The beast seemed almost content to lie in the long arms and with its snout buried into Leon's neck and shoulder.

She could feel the fox shake from its laughter, with a curios side look at the beast in her arms; Jill snickers to herself and opened the doors to her car for all of them.

 

Suddenly the beast known as Tet-Chan was out of Leons grip on him with a mad sounding growl and so was it the fox out of Jill's.

Within seconds both humans could only look stunned after the fast chasing and seemingly gone crazy animals and shake their heads in unison.

It seemed that T-Chan tried to bite Ten one of his tails off in his fury, Leon doubled nearly over in seconds from his laughter at the comical picture the two gave Jill and him meanwhile Jill tried her hardest not to do the same.

 

The fox did a surprisingly good job in avoiding the sharp teeth of the Toutetsu all the time.

The Tao Tie on the over hand made a good work on chasing the smaller looking fox around a tree currently, snarling and hissing all the time like mad! Leon and Jill could not understand what Tetsu hissed angrily all the time at Ten, the fox could it all too clearly!

The other ancient beast cursed him to hell and back with curses even Ten did not know so far. He decided that Tet came too near for his liking slowly and jumped up in the tree to catch his breath; man, he had not soo much fun in ages!

 

Tetsu glared at the stupid tree in that the fox now sat and grinned mockingly down at him from.

He slowly began to hate botanic live!

He hit the tree trunk with a paw in his anger, dam…

 

Suddenly a still laughing Leon caught him by his neck efficiently and throws him not too gently in the backseat of the car.

He licked his lips in waiting, and just as he thought of it; Ten followed only seconds after.

Same fashion.

And the chase where on again…only to be stopped from the female that dared to grasp the fox just in time and to put him out of the reach of his fangs! Dammed!!!

But Tetsu had no time to complain for long. Because, she showed Leon instead in the backseat next to him and the fox on the passenger seat next to her.

“ I do not like bloody stains on my seats! Got that?”

After a short nod, coming from all the other occupants of her car, the four where on the road again and off to their destination.

 

Ten decided that he would be thankful to her for the rest of his live for that!

Against all others meaning of his mind state, the nine tail loved his life!!!

The Tao Tie would have made sushi out of him this time…. Ten shuddered but could not help it; it was too comical to pass.

So, only a few minutes later he raised his head in the intend to tease the Toutetsu again, only…

 

” You know, it's not too late for me to throw you in the backseat again….”

 

Tetsu licked his chops in the awaiting; maybe this female had some brain after all?

But ten only gulped and glared at Jill next to him and then decided it was now a good time for a nap.

After he saw the stern look of the women who drove the car currently, he thought it would be better for now to behave.

This female would do That!

 

Leon could only snicker at this all, as it seems, Jill had all under control here.

He closed his eyes in fatigue; man was he tired!

Only to open them again a short time later because a certain animal made itself at home in his lap…what the heck?

Just before he could scream murder at the Toutetsu Leons brain suddenly realized the nearly identical looks of D´s pet and the beast of his memory.

He caught the goat under his short frond legs and held him up to his eyelevel for several minutes.

Tetsu gulped visibly, seems the stupid had found out after all what he had figured out already when he was still in the shop…oh shit!

 

“Naa, first I thought you two are the same but now…. I think the same species but not the same beast. What are you anyway? D told me you're a Toutetsu, what the hell is that anyway?” Leon fell silent, his mind tried to absorb what it just put together. He brought the pet down to its former place in his lap and began mindlessly to pet it. Still wondering in a side part of his mind that T-Chan had not bitten off his hand by now.

Was that stupid goat not supposed to do that normally?

 

Jill looked at the entire scene in her back mirror and mused over Leons new out found fact. So, she thought, the beast look like that one of his dreams? He was not older then as 8 or nine…. it would have looked much bigger then to him.

If those two beasts were really from the same species, why in the nine hells is it then in D´s pets shop?

Toe…Tet…su? As in Tao Tie?

Why is that word so familiar to me?

 

She tried to dig out the memory to that the strange sounding name belonged to, out of her many memories about myths.

Her grandmother from her father's side had always told the little Jill from former myths and stories from all over the world.

The old lady was a storyteller and used that to gain money still in her age. She had known tons of old stories and even after soo many years, Jill could sometimes still hear the old lady speak in her memory…

 

…Toutetsu also called Tao Tie.

Mystical ancient beasts of the Chinese mythology, man-eating creatures of great power and strength with the face of a man, body of a sheep and horns like a goat. With paws like a tiger and the same sharp claws, they are holy for the people of china and often called two faced, because they can play the harmless animal and then when they have lured you into safety, they attack you and eat you! They are highly dangerous beasts from great power that have even a humanoid form and mostly tend to appear as a harmless sheep. Mostly in the mythology they are known to eat children. They are also known for it to help artists with fueling on positively their imagination and that they eat very much and to love to eat well. Belonging to the so-called spiritual beasts that can be helpful and dangerous at the same time. Also these beats are known to be seductive and alluring, they can easily seduce any being, female or male if they want to. Set in the line of Kami, goddess alike beings in the Asian mythology…

 

Jill blanched rapidly at the memory.

 

Her feet hit the stop pedal right in the middle of the road.

Ten was thrown unpleasantly from his rest place in the front of the car, Leon's head hit the passenger seats neck holder and Tetsu practically flow in the window in the process of the sudden stop!

Within seconds only, Jill had caught the animal by the neck and thrown him out of the car. Closing her doors she sung back in her seat and panted heavily…”Jill? What the hell has gotten into you?”

Ten who had watched the entire scene in silence saw in the look of the women that she knew what Tetsu was in reality. He decided it was time to let some illusions fall away, he knew this women was not to fool!

 

Still dazzled from the entire event, T-Chan tried to get his brain back to work.

What had gotten into this female!?!

Suddenly he could hear the voice of her telling Leon and Ten in the car what he was…his hairs on the neck began to stand up by the chilling tune her voice held when Jill told her cousin this all.

It was the very same that she told Leon what her grandmother once had told her, when she was a child.

 

Tetsu closed his eyes; he knew he was blown up this time!

 

For a long while nothing as the breathing of all four and the sounds of the wild live could be heard around them.

Then suddenly a shriek sounded through the night and Tetsu heard Tens human voice address the women;

 

“Uhm, you wouldn't believe me if I told you it gives for all of this a good explanation…or?”

Two unbelieving blue sets of eyes and one golden cat slit one from outside the window called him silently with unknown agreement to the owners, an idiot at the same time!

Ten grinned sheepishly at them all and laughs nervously at the three faces all directed at him in the moment; what could he say?

He never said it would be easy to explain it, or?

Ten-Chan scratched his silvery head haired nervously and tried to look as harmless as a suddenly fox gone human in a passenger seat, could look in the eyes of two, with guns armed cops in this confused situation. Not to mention as charming as only a Kitsune could muster it to do in such a situation!

 

Sighting in silent defeat, the nine tail began with a very loooong explanation of the things in general and the shop… on the middle of the road, in the middle of the night..
