The Fox and The Cat (Lesbian Story, OLD)

Chapter 11

I blinked finding myself in the same position I had fallen asleep in. Akeno's arms were still wrapped tightly around me and I was laying on the Goddess. Her fluffy tail was draped over my back like a blanket.

I raised my head from her shoulder and looked around the room finding that Minerva had left the room, probably right after I had passed out. She was a nice vampire at heart I suppose.

However when I looked down at Akeno's face I found myself frowning. Dried tears streamed down her cheeks.

This Goddess shed tears for me. She cried over a thief like me, who called her a demon and who had no trust for her. She claimed to be able to outsmart the wolf, and yet she gave herself a weakness by creating an attachment to me.

I pulled my arms free from her grasp and touched her face gently with my fingertips. I ghosted across her flawless skin, before wiping away the tears on her face. Her eyes a little red telling me she had been crying for hours.

"Akeno. Did you fall for me?" I asked in a whisper, hoping not to wake her.

Her fox ears twitched at my voice, and her hands gripped the back of my shirt hiding under her tail. My own tail wrapped around her waist, holding her close. When her eyes flickered open, she took notice of my expression and a frown crossed her face too.

"Does it still hurt?" She asked.

"You cried over me? Why?" I asked, ignoring her question. She gripped my wrists gently and watched my expression.

"Am I not allowed to cry over you?"

"I am a thief, and you're a Goddess. What I've done shouldn't be forgiven so easily." I growled. "I can't justify my actions with a few good deeds."

"I wouldn't call preventing children from starving a few good deeds. More like a very big deed that has a huge effect on morality." She shrugged.

"That's not the point! You're a god, and you're supposed to hate me for what I did, and instead you're crying over my headache? Can you really just forgive me for everything I've done?"

"Yes!" Akeno smiled. "I can see your personality, your emotions. I can sense them like my own and so I know the kind of person you are. I know that you are trustworthy. I don't have to guess. I know you're a good person and you're worthy of my tears."

"Is it really just so easy to cry over me?"

"Your pain was my fault. I have every right to cry."

"I am a thief and you are a Goddess. We shouldn't even be working together." I narrowed my eyes. She only smiled up at me.

I rolled my eyes and got off her, pulling my boots on before walking out of the room. Akeno caught up with me after a few seconds, and her ear twitched on her head before she pulled her hood over her head and took my hand.

Five guards were standing in the main room of the orphanage, looking around at the kids who stood or hid as far away from them as possible.

"There was a commotion in the street last night and a witness says you were there." The guard growled.

"I was here last night, tending to the sick children." Minerva answered. "I'm trying to get on the King's good side, so why would I mess that up by causing shit in the street?"

"Dunno, why don't you tell us 'Fangs'." Another guard teased, getting several of the heads of the orphanage to hiss in protest. I guess Minerva has a lot of Vampire buddies.

"Look. If I wanted to cause trouble, I'd kill you for saying that. And look at that, you're still alive." Minerva growles. "Now can you please leave?"
