Twin Kitsunes: Darkness Falls

⤚ A Hint of Danger⤙

Storm

ARA'S worry spiked enormous lengths when it came to Akiya. She was possessive of him but managed to hide it most of the time, props to her on that. I had a hard time hiding things that I was possessive of big time.

But Ara didn't. Until now. She was slowly beginning to show how much she missed him and how big he was in her life. They'd be the type to keep tabs on each other. For a long time since they had every potential to live for over nine centuries and remain that young.

Kitsunes man. They could outlive me. I had to hold it together for Ara even with my wolf going batshit crazy inside of me as well as taking advantage. With Aki gone and the knowledge that a kitsune had him the chains were weakening and it was taking advantage of it.

Those kitsunes could kill Aki if they desired. And that thought was not settling well with me. They could kill Akiya if they wanted. Ara assured me they wouldn't because Daiki told her they wouldn't. Male kitsunes were rare and having three in the same spot was a bit shocking.

But I was fine with that as fine as they didn't try to fuck with me. Aki got away with a bit more since he is Ara's sister. I got iffy with Daiki and Issei I'd fuck up on a good day on Sunday as well. I didn't like Issei.

I tolerated him, but tolerating and liking were two different things. I had to tolerate Daiki more since he was now officially Ara's boyfriend; her first boyfriend on top of that and she had it bad for him. Very bad. She trusted this nogitsune to insane lengths, and I never understood why.

But if he made her happy and didn't hurt her I was down for the ride. But if he hurts Ara, I would personally tear him apart. Fucking with me was one thing, but my best friend who was so innocent and untainted was another level.

I preferred Ara the way she was when it came to her the way she was right now. But my mind wasn't too consumed with thoughts of Ara, but with Aki and what was happening to him. They could be torturing him. And that thought didn't settle well with me.

I didn't want Aki getting hurt. Even if he was a kitsune which was in my blood of being a werewolf to dislike I didn't want him getting hurt. He was Aki; my friend before he was a kitsune. And Ara's brother on top of all of that.

Knowing that could be what was happening to him infuriated me. I bit my lip unsure of what to say as I walked outside of my apartment complex. Recently the husky mix had been rehomed, he had found a good owner so not even he could distract me anymore.

The outside of the apartment was messy with grass growing high and the trash can recently knocked over from some racoons. Besides my mom and I three other people lived here. An older woman, probably in her late sixties to early seventies, some weird guy, and then the landlord's son recovering drug addict son.

I looked over at the woods as the wolf brushed against my mind. They could be currently flaying him alive. The cruel bitter words seeped into me as I glared at the woods as it targeted the festering wound Aki left behind when he went missing. The wolf searched for weak spots.

It always had and I always had some sort of weak spot in my mind when it came to things such as this one. But this was the weakest spot I had had in the last few years since I began distancing and locking the wolf up in fear of what it could do.

It always scraped against the chains of my mind locked away. And it was a fearsome foe to be reckoned with. And it took pleasure in tormenting others. "Keep it together Storm." I told myself and the wolf snickered as it paced at my pathetic attempts to keep it together.
