POV change: Elliot

By now I was beyond used to getting knocked around and out. A quick glance around told me that Rai and Miles were unconscious. Vector's will-o-wisp (something only I could see when he wasn't using me as medium to manifest himself) was floating in between me and Miles. The approaching running footsteps told me that we hadn't been downed long. The details of what happened were too sparse and fuzzy to form a clear picture. Especially with what felt like a freaking concussion and a migraine all rolled into one. The pain didn't seem to at affect my boner though which made me laugh audibly and then instantly regretted it. I wasn't at all surprised about its existence since I did have Dad to compare notes with.

Speaking of...

I didn't fight Dad as he pulled me close cradle me in his arms and place me into lap. Unsurprisingly Dad's first action was to check me for injuries. Something Dad did by touch since moving me wasn't really a good idea. Besides my head: I didn't have anything wrong with me other than the usual soreness pushing one's body past their limits.

Dad stiffened and I heard him take an audible breath when he tentatively checked for my pulse and found one. Surprised me too when I felt it start back again. I watched Dad as he watched me. Watching the multitude of intense emotions flash across his face was somewhat amusing. Our eventually eyes met and I smiled toothily at him before telling him of my earlier revelation. The other adults and others listened intently.

A heartbeats worth of silence followed as everyone let my words sink in.

After a moment Dad said "Dominate and recessive powers huh? Hmm... If we figured out a way to harness this then theoretically we would have a whole new arsenal worth of weaponry to swap from."

I shook my head and replied "Nah I don't think it works like that. All I did was feed the seed that was planted due your fight with Mom during my rebirth. There wasn't enough room so my other halves snuffed out Mom's gift to me. In other words I felt it die." I paused to think about the last part "or more likely the Protege sensed what I was doing and absorbed it. Come to think of it...That's extremely likely since I certainly wouldn't just let someone toss away what wasn't broken just because they didn't need it. Another person's trash is another person's treasure and all that."

Then Blake voiced the question I'd been expecting "So how did seeing my son fight lead to this revelation?"

I shrugged and said nonchalantly "The battle had nothing to do with this. There exists too many parallels drawn between Miles and I to not be intentionally drawn. I just hadn't been able to connect the dots until now because my anime of a life wouldn't allow me to focus on it" a pause then "the fact that I'm fully rested for the first time in like a week helps a ton."

Blake snorts and says "You really like hearing yourself talk doncha."

I smirked at him and shrugged again "Sometimes. You've probably noticed that it's an inherited trait."

Kate suddenly says "Okay so all of this makes sense on paper. But what doesn't make sense is why would our boss allow one of his weapons to run around half-cocked? Why the secrecy? Why allow your past life so much slack on his leash?"

I inhaled sharply as what felt like an ice bucket was dumped on me and was then was replaced with what felt like a heavy blanket. Even though the cloak that I'd been wearing decided that it wanted to be worn by the blur that had come flying out of my body as if launched by a catapult. Which left me wearing nothing but my fur and my surprised facial expression. Then flew over mine and Dad's head.

The greyish silver leash made entirely out of supernatural light gave me a clue on what had came out of me. So when Dad lifted his legs and used an arm to spin us around: I wasn't at all surprised to find my siamese twin hovering above our heads. The other me was standing stock still and had extended an arm towards Mom. Dark matter was building up into his hand which made me believe for several heartbeats that he was preparing a Shadow Ball. However that assumption was proven wrong when I'd spied the energy lines flowing from Mom into the other me's hand.

The other me was leeching power from Mom!

No sooner had I came to that conclusion did a familiar black portal opened up and an equally familiar arm extend. This entrance was accompanied by a familiar suffocatingly intense spiritual presence. My first thought was that Godslayer had come to put a stop whatever was happening. That is until dark tendrils suddenly shot out of the ground coiled around Dad and me; pulling us backward and rendering us so immobile that all we could really do was stare at the sky. Didn't mean we didn't weakly struggle against them.

I could hear the irritation in Dad's voice as called out "I really wish you would stop playing games."

Darkrai's voice replied back with nearly a purr. "And where would the fun in that be?"

A gasp and then my pubescent voice came from somewhere above our heads "So I did read your clues right?!"

"Yes you did" said Darkrai with a note of pride added to his purr.

There was a brief high-pitched giggle then my siamese twin said "Playing Scooby Doo again has been really really fun! I can't wait till the next mystery."

I heard Mom's voice tinged with weakness say "What are you doing?"

The other me's tone was a sneer "What does it look like I'm doing, stupid? I'm taking back what you stolen from me! Now shush!"

I then heard the familiar sound of a Dark Void bubble bursting.

"Are you about done?" asked the Godslayer, now there was a note of impatience in his voice.

"Allllmost" said the other me in a singsong manner.

It was after another twenty-three seconds (I did count them because there really wasn't anything else to do.) when I heard the other me say triumphantly "All done!" A really long intake of air then the sound of someone licking their fingers with wet pops then "hmm that was yummy!" A pause then "So I guess now you're going to put Melina and the other you in another time out but this time for real-zizes?"

"Right again Jr." I sensed a muscle of power being flexed. The past couple statements of the conversation revealing it's purpose.

A pause then "When are you going to let them back out?"

"This lock will only break when one of them is annihilated."

"Sooooo it's the very same lock that Dialga and Palkia put on our doll in our story then?"

"The very same." A pause then "I have to go now before our enemies get curious."

From the tone of the other me's voice I could tell that he was pouting "Do you have time for a quick goodbye hug"

"Always do."

A long period of silence that stretched past a full minute before the one with Darkrai's voice says "Okay now skedaddle scamp"

"5 more minutes..." the other me says with almost a catlike purr and sleepily.

"I wish we had the time...a lot more time."

Another Dark Void bubble popping. A few heartbeats worth of empty silence. Then I gasped again when I felt the other me and cloak settle back into place. Which unsurprisingly felt like I got dumped with another bucket of icewater. At nearly the same time the Godslayer's intense presence vanished and our bindings dematerialized along with it.

We all (excluding Rai and Miles) sat up at the same time.

Blake exhales sharply through his nose before saying "Does that happen often?"

I shook my head and said "The Godslayer usually knocks us out when he visits. So I guess he wanted us to witness the exchange for some reason The Protege has never done that before. Didn't know he could."

Kate walks up to us but remains standing "So what do we do with our pair of siamese twins?"

Dad sighs wearily, closed his eyes, and rubs the bridge of his snout with a claw "The only thing that has actually changed is that we've been informed of something that'd been going on behind the scenes and the primary focus to Elly's training regiment's." Dad lowers his hand "So we continue doing what we've been: survive and wait for orders."

"I thought you said that our past lives would only manifest themselves as strange impulses, strange gut feelings, and the occasional random temporary power spikes in response to extremely high levels of stress." This question had came from Blake to my Dad.

Dad ruffles the fur on top of my head "In normal circumstances yes. However I'm told that my son's necromancy powers has a nasty habit of taking a sledgehammer to normality in the strangest of circumstances with even stranger results. This is one of those times I suppose."

Kate adds onto Dad's statement "The only strange things we've witnessed so far is that those of us that sleep near Elly have been experiencing flashes of memory from their past lives. We don't know whether it's the other Elliot pulling them to the surface intentionally or it's our past lives reacting to his presence."

I exhale a sardonic snort "Well that's a huge load off my mind. About time we see something good coming out of this freaking Twilight Zone worthy crap...other than Miles and Rai of course."

"You...still love...me then?" Rai groaned after his words.

I found myself chuffing before replying in an exasperated tone "Rai for the last time! Just because I get mad at you: doesn't mean I will or even can disown you. Especially over something so petty as our tendency to butt heads together seemingly at every opportunity! So stop asking that stupid ass question or I'll start pummeling you until you do!"

There was the sound of shuffling behind us the same time Kate said "Rai you shouldn't be moving around especially in the state you're in!" Then so soft I barely caught it. "Here I already know where you want to go so let me help."

We were close enough together that it really shouldn't have taken Kate and Rai the thirty seconds that it did to make it to us. So I assume that Kate was just being careful not to accidently hurt Rai. I had to sit up so Rai could climb in Dad's lap. After Rai got settled he pressed his shoulder against mine. He didn't say anything and his white hair hid his face but he was sniffling too much and his whole body was tense and shaky as if he was fighting back tears.

Man this freaking' kid cried way too damned easy!

This outta snap him out of it though.

"So I guess you want me to explain how you can become what Dad and I are? It's safe to to assume that it should work since the only difference between us was that your light makes you part bear while mine had made me part shapeshifting kitty. "

I was rather surprised when Rai shook his head. Dad tensing and his scent told me he was also surprised. When Rai said nothing I asked "Well why not? No matter how you look at it you're refusing an upgrade since you obviously prefer fighting physically anyway."

Rai's voice cracked a little with emotion but he sounded distant "I used my third eye to keep an eye on you during that fight.Through that I seen and sensed what you did. I don't want that. My light is a Taz's parting gift to me before he wiped himself from existence. Without it I don't have him or my humanity. I refuse to just throw away that gift away for the sake of power." There was a pause that stretched a couple heartbeats before Rai said "I would gladly follow my brother into oblivion before I allowed myself to become Darkrai again." Rai caught Kate's backhand before the slap could make contact then blandly said "It's how I feel Ma...nothing you or Da can do or say can change that."

Kate bit off a snarl and grit her teeth. Then shot me an angry glare so full of heat that I would've staggered if I was standing "Your gloom and doom attitude is starting to rub off on him and I don't like it. Not one bit." Kate suddenly yanks on Rai's wrist then pull Rai up into a fireman's carry and began walking away as if weighed nothing at all "Hopefully some cartoons and time away will snap him out of this funk."

With that Kate and Rai vanished in a flash of light. I also sensed that my stuffed toy had vanished with them. Huh... wonder why Kate took that?

There was a moment's silence that I assume was just us all processing what just went down before Blake said "Did your daughter just Teleport?"

"Yup." was all Dad said

"But that's a Light One trick and only the strongest among them can do it."

"Kate may be neutral but she is more light aligned then dark. She's exactly like her mother in that regard and in many other ways too. It's why Chase chose the Manectric species for her instead of Houndoom."

"Must be difficult to avoid going for each other's throats." Blake says neutrally..

"Neutral remember? So we butt heads no more than any normal group of misfits."

It was at that instant I had yet another startling revelation: I was basically alone with Dad for the first time since his death and our rebirths.

Oh hell to the no!

Dad had me wrapped up in a bear hug and pinned face first into his chest before I could even think about moving. All I could see was black. Consequently Dad's big bass rumble of a voice vibrated my entire body so much that it made my teeth itch. "Finally realized it huh? Oh yeah. The time for our man to man chat is long past overdue." Dad got up and began walking towards the house "Blake can I borrow a shower?"

Oh for the love of God please kill me now. Oh wait that wouldn't fucking help...damned demons and Godslayer resurrection powers,

"If you hadn't asked I would've thrown you in one. For canine's you put out so much sweat I'm surprised your footprints aren't wet with it. It's seriously killing my sense of smell. Towels and stuff are in the closet inside of it. You can borrow my clothes and Elliot is more than welcome to Miles's drawer since we're all eerily at least close to the same size. If you need anything Miles and I will in the washroom next to my room. Nil I'll need you to come along and change me back into human."

"Finally someone uses the name I prefered to be called."

"Maybe I should join in the game..."

"Please don't."

I felt Dad turn his head "Are you joining us Chase? Runt?" then muttered seemingly to himself "Hmm seems Pip is also gone."

Chase's voice "As much as I'd like to: I'm afraid we cannot join. Your boy currently unavailable to run interference. Which means my son and I are free to have our own chat. Though the farmhouse is large: it isn't big enough to hold our discussion."

"Ahh that kind of discussion. Don't get carried too away then. No point in adding more work for our boss if we don't got to." Dad stepped into the house, right after Blake if my senses were on point and then shut the door. We still heard Chase's reply though.

"I'll make damned sure it doesn't come to that."

---

Dad had stopped mid-way through the bathroom threshold. We both watched in absolute wonder as fabric was slowly sucked into the center of my chest if someone was sucking it in through a straw. I could literally feel my Darkrai powers drain away. Trying to hold onto them was like trying to hold onto sand. Until finally there was nothing but demon.

"Selfish bastard just stole it all..." Dad muttered while continuing to whisper a few more curses under his breath that tickled my ear.

I shook my head and replied softly "It's not technically stealing if you are just taking back what someone stole from you." I took a few moments to ponder on my feelings before finally articulating them and registering that my own voice carried a note of surprise." Im...so very relieved. There is some finality of this. Means I can finally stop relying on someone else's strength and find my own."

There was a heartbeat's worth of pause which Dad filled by stepping inside the bathroom and shutting the door. Then Dad said "I guess that means that you are planning on taking advantage of our unstable DNA to take on a new species like Taz did?"

I allowed myself to chuckle half-heartedly before replying "I like being a Houndour too much to change my species. It's what I'm comfortable as. But that doesn't mean there aren't other useful ways to take advantage of shapeshifting. Like what Miles did with his kni-"

The smell of us in the confined space chose right then to slam into me all at once like damned freight train. The combined cocktail of our half a day worth of BO was mixing too well with the smell of earth and blood. It was creating a chemical response that I couldn't stop. I only winced slightly when my new fangs tore into my lip in the hopes that the resulting pain would stop the harbinger of disaster from escaping it's prison. An act that was in vain.

Dad's chuckle and tone were both filled of high levels of mischief and self satisfaction "Now what have you gone and done that for? It's just us in here so you don't have to fight the hard-on you're getting for your old man. Discard those silly morals holding you back from enjoying what you've quite obviously wanted for a while." I tensed and Dad chuckles again "Oh yeah I've already translated the mixed signals you've been putting out into the only conclusion that makes logical sense. The fact that you think I haven't is adorable. What you feel is more than okay because -let this be your first lesson to what we are my son- morality doesn't exist in the eyes an animal. After all the curse of the beast-"

Hands turned me around and I saw a standard bathroom set-up but it'd been bigger and it was a lot sleekier than I expected. The ceramic tile was so clean and shiny that I would actually feel guilty if I'd gotten it dirty. Most of the room was taken over by the glass walled shower that looked like could fit at least three people. Given the enormousness of the farmhouse and it's just been built condition: this place must have costed many pretty pennies.

My attention was pulled away from my poor last ditch effort of a distraction and last chance to pull a last second escape attempt when one of Dad's arms relocated underneath by butt so he could lift me to be eye level. Dad's muzzle smashed into mine when I'd turned my head for a reason that was instantly forgotten. I melted into it just as I knew I would.

Would this finally put an end to the dreams? I sure as hell hope not...

Dad finished his statement in my muzzle and the delicious vibrations the words brung seemed to reverberate across my body like an echo "-is being a slave to its instincts."

POV change: 3rd person

"I have nothing to say to you. Move!" Runt snarls venomously while matching Chase's forward advance with a slow backward retreat.

Both hound's hackles were raised but only Runt appeared malevolent. Chase just appeared wary and sad. At least until Chase's expression hardened it into a stony mask as he lowered himself to sit upon his hindquarters and ask with a tone booming with authority: "Why does my beloved son continue to bare his fangs at me?"

Runt flinches and his jaws suddenly shuts with an audible snap. Runt appears to be considering something. A few heartbeats pass and calm blankets his features when he closes his eyes and breathes in and out slowly several times.

Understandably very confused about this sudden dramatic change in composure: Chase's tone is inquisitive as he asks "Son?" while taking a step forward. The instant that happens Runt's body melts into the shadows. Chase is so surprised that he almost lets Runt get past him.

Almost.

His father's Iron clad Tail slapping him across the face connects hard enough to send Runt sprawling just steps away from the wooden steps of the porch that lead to his objective. Consequently the pain and surprise of the blow destroys Runt's concentration on the already flimsy hold on the parallel world of shadows. Runt's horns are the first to gain purchase and get caught on the tall grass of the desperately mowed lawn. Thus yanking Runt's head to a stop hard enough that he felt the telltale signs of whiplash. Something that was better than getting brained by the ominous looking giant rock just a mere inch away from his head.

Runt was still seeing stars so he only vaguely registered his Da's approach and words "That was reckless of the both of us. You for assuming a rat's ploy would work on me twice. Me for not being more mindful of the environment." A pause then "Now I will repeat myself-"

Runt yelped as a jolt of pain bit into his side. Runt's gaze is pulled first to his Da's retreating tail that now hang in the space between them; unmoving yet stiff and menacing with its ominous glow. Then Runt's eyes locked onto that cold, steely gaze and expression as the Houndoom shouted with voice clipped with anger "-why do you bare your fangs against me?"

The last thing Chase expected was to hear Runt laugh, look him dead in the eye, and say with a sneer: "You really are as arrogant as Elly says if you really believe any animosity between us exist because of a personal vendetta. I simply bare my fangs at anyone and anything that gets in-between me and my mate. Nothing more, nothing less."

Chase raises an eyebrow and calmly inquiries "How exactly am I getting in your way?"

Still sneering; Runt exhales a sardonic snort through his nose before saying "By doing what you're doing now: standing in my way when I want nothing to do with you."

This time Runt is ready for the tail and manages to catch it in his jaws. Chase's mask of fury vanishes in a flash as his maw parts slightly as his facial expression changes to that matching surprise. It hurts Runt to bite down on something harder than his teeth in order to hold it firmly in place; but he chooses to use the pain as fuel his vindictive enjoyment he gleans from the payback of his previous mistreatment when the bite of flame enters his teeth.

Although muffled and sounding a bit pain; Runt's laughter can almost be heard over Chase's howls, yips, and whimpers of agony.

POV change: Miles

"BLAAAAAAAAAAKE! WHY ARE THERE TWO VERY EERILY FAMILIAR LOOKING HOUNDOOMS TRYING TO TEAR EACH OTHER'S FACES OFF IN OUR YARD?!"

I heard big footsteps stomp away from me and Papa's equally angry-ish sounding reply "Politics CC don't worry about it!" Door slamming then "Geez can't a guy get a break in his own house?"

"BET YOU WON'T BE SAYING THAT WHEN YOU SEE HOW MUCH BLOOD THEY'RE SPRAYING ALL OVER THE PORCH!"

Sound of a more far away door opening and the sounds of running feet and then two different voices saying at the same exact time "SOMEONE BETTER BE FUCKING DYING!"

"I'VE ALREADY KNOCKED THEM OUT! DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!"

Sound of footsteps slowing then stopping then turning around to head back the way they came. Both sighing in...relief?

Sound of Nil and Papa also sighing but I don't think it was in relief.

Where am I? Too much...everything! Wet...why am I wet? Did I wet the bed again? Why do I hurt...everywhere? Why am I so thirsty? Wait...maybe instead of wasting time asking all those other questions...I should've just asked why does my body hate me so much?

I didn't mean to make the noise that came out of my throat. A groan I think it was called. It just kinda happened..

"On good you're awake." This time Papa's sigh was that of relief "If you'd been comatose for days again: I don't think I would've forgiven myself for letting my excitement get the best of me." A pause then "Can you move at all?"

I tried shaking my head to answer. Because of the hurt that came afterward I'd thought I'd done it.

"Did he fall back asleep?" asked Nil

"I dunno." replied Papa.

"No I didn't" My voice was but a whisper to even my own ears. My head was in water so maybe I could fix a problem before trying. With a quick sniff to make sure it wasn't pee -it wasn't thank...um...err...I dunno just thank someone?- :I had myself a few swallows before trying again. "No I'm not asleep anymore. I can't move for some reason. Everything hurts"

"Damn...well with how hard you were fighting earlier that doesn't surprise me. Maybe this will help." There was a swishing sound of some sort of wet stuff in a holder of some kind." Can you open your eyes at least? Not only don't want you falling asleep again but you kinda need to see for this."

I opened my eyes and quickly shut them again while my mouth made a hissing sound. "The light hurts too much" I said

"Keep them open. They just need to adjust." Papa said gently.

So I did. They didn't hurt as much and I could see that I was facing something white and red. I felt Papa's touch my face and side before he began to lift me up so I was sitting on my but then...withdrew. My first...impulse was to look around.

We were in the bathroom. A different one than Nil and I visited earlier by the looks of it. I was sitting in a... bathtub. Papa bent down a little and retrieved a jug full of blood instead of milk. The beast screamed for it but our body was too weak to reach for it. So we had to wait until Papa tilted it into our mouths. With each swallow I began to feel better. Eventually I felt better enough to take the jug from Papa's hands. Or at least tried to since Papa wouldn't let me have it. I was going to complain but then I felt funny and I was breathing kind of fast and loud. I could still hear Papa chuckle a little and say "Slow down and take a breath every now and then. It isn't going anywhere. You can even have what's left of mine if you're still thirsty afterwards.

So I did. When I finished and while Papa put down the half-full jug on the floor: I noticed I was feeling a lot better and the redness was gone from my eyes. I also noticed that the bathtub was fully white and not any at all red. Must have been my eyes then. My arms began to felt itchy as much as they hurt (which was alot) so I scratched them. I could only scratch them for a moment before Papa slapped hands away and said:

"Stop that. You'll scratch off the bandages and remove the medicine if you do that. Better yet-" Papa pulled my arms -they were covered in rough papery looking cloths- out of the tub and held them there. "-keep them here while I bathe you. Close your eyes and don't open them until I tell you to."

I did what I was told. Papa began rubbing this funny but good smelling stuff into my hair. It felt good to have Papa's fingers in there for some reason. Wasn't long before I was making happy squeaky sounds.

My ears twitched at Nil's squeaky chuckle and voice "I think he's enjoying the attention."

Papa also chuckles before a tone that I couldn't understand enters his voice "In more ways than one if my nose isn't lying."

How can a nose lie? Why was my wiener getting all hard and stiff? Questions I couldn't bring myself to care about with those wonderful fingers working all sorts of magic on my head. I got to enjoy this for a little while longer before Papa said:

"And now we rinse. I'm going to dunk your head in the water now. So hold your breath and try not to snort water through your nose son."

I did as I was told. My cheeks were puffing out so I must have looked funny. The mental picture made me smile a little as Papa dunked my head in the water, rubbed the top of my head a little, then pulled me back up.

We did this a few more times before Papa stopped and said: I don't trust myself with this next part. Hopefully the both of you can do it without any issues. Nil show Miles how to scrub himself then hop into the tub yourself. Have Miles change into a Noibat then-.."

Papa's got quieter and quiter after the word 'change' until he just stopped talking. He got a funny look on his face. The only way I can describe it is the face he made once while asking "Really?" when AunC wouldn't tell him where she was getting because she said it was a surprise. Then...suddenly Papa hit his own face with his hand! Well that was a rather funny and dumb thing to do. Anyway then Papa's next words were a bit...muffled because he spoke into his hand:

"Well that was stupid of me. I should've waited after the bath to patch up Miles. Now they'll have to be reapplied because the and the bandages won't stay on when he transforms and the bath water will wash off the medicine. Ah well no use crying about spilled milk I suppose" Papa lowers his hand and says to Nil "Be quick about bathing yourselves because I have to clean myself up as well. Then Miles and I will be getting a haircut after I bandage him up again."

"Aye aye sir."

With that Papa left the room. My heart skipped a beat for some reason when I realized he'd been naked this whole time. I could only see his back and butt though...boy he sure was hairy all over the place. Wonder if I'll get that hairy when I grow up.

A chirp caught my attention and I'd turned to face Nil. Nil was sitting on top of the toilet seat's lid. Which of course meant he was just using it as a place to sit and not using it to poop or pee.

At least I hope he wasn't. Papa might be get a bit mad about that mess.

Anyway Nil appeared to be fighting a smile and laugh. Before I could ask what was so funny: he pointed the cloth thing hanging at the side of the tub with his left hand and the bottle of a green-ish looking stuff with the right hand. Then Nil said "Put two globs of that stuff inside of the washcloth. Don't use too much though. Two globs about the size of two of my hands should do it. Then rub the green stuff into the cloth until it becomes white then rub every bit of your skin with it besides the parts covered in bandages. We're going to be ignoring that part entirely until it heals."

I blinked at him and then looked at my arms still hanging out of the side of the tub "How do I keep them dry when my body is in the water."

"You're gonna have to stand up in order to do this. But do so slowly and carefully. The bottom of the tub is slippery and you're exhausted so it's gonna be a tad more difficult than it usually is. If you fail to do so then you'll fall flat on your face and likely hurt yourself more."

Well that didn't sound very fun...

I had been working on myself for little while when Nil said:

"Make sure you get in between your buttcheeks. Your dangly bits and the space where the legs and arms connect to your body. A lot sweat and stuff gathers there."

"Okie-dokie" I replied.

While I got myself cleaned up I noticed that Nil's weiner was a lot bigger than it was when I'd first really noticed it when we peed in the toilet together before the rest of my family showed up. Also there was this clear stuff dribbling out of it...hmm it smelled kinda good...

"Master do us both a favor and focus on getting clean for now. We can take care of our little problems later" a pause then Nil said softly "well there is nothing little about yours." Nil licks his lips and he began to give me a look that told me that he was hungry and I was the food. Well my wiener was anyway. Not going to happen, my weiner was going to stay where it was. Anyway Nil's next words were said with a soft hiss. "Nothing little at all."

I did and didn't like the way he was looking at my wiener. That hungry look was just making me uncomfortable and harder and it was as if that clear stuff that was leaking out of my wiener a lot faster and more now. As if...encouraged by the look Nil was giving me. Either way it was making it really hard to focus on what I was told to do.

A word came to me then when I decided to turn my front away from Nil. A laugh came out as I said with a smile and jokingly "Pervert!"

Nil blinked apparently a little surprised then he said with a small grin while lifting up his chin to the ceiling "So what if I am? What of it? I know what I like and want and there is no shame in being truthful." A pause then. "Do you know the meaning behind the word you just said my Master?"

I shook my head and stood still. "Nope. The word just now came to me as they all do."

"Just checking" was Nil's reply. A pause then "You done?"

I nodded as I sat on the tub and shifted into a Noibat. The bandages did fall off just like Papa thought they would. Which left really bad smelling gunk behind. It also itched like ton more than it had before. But I was a good boy and didn't scratch. Maybe the water would help it.

Nil stood up while he said "Good." Nil took a few steps back until his back was up against the large square part of the toilet, then he ran a few steps then jumped while yelling "Cannon ball!"

Nil landed in the bathtub with a big kersplash! I wasn't expecting that at all and the whole silliness of the act combined with him humming while swimming lazy laps around the tub sent me straight into a laughing fit. I was still laughing even as I fell into the tub and landed with own splash. I wasn't laughing when I got a face full of owwy and a nose full of water. The beast took control then. Before I knew it I was kicking and swimming with Nil. We chased, splashed, dunked each other, and wrestled with each other in the bath together; laughing the entire time.

Eventually Nil said with a sad sigh that playtime was over and we really should get down to business. I wanted to get out of the tub anyway because the water was getting too cold for my liking. So we quickly did the thing then climbed out of the tub. Then we toweled ourselves off. I had to do it twice since I had another body to dry off. Afterward I turned back into a Noibat again.

We were about to leave the room when I'd seen the puddles of water at our feet and seemingly everywhere I'd looked. I booped Nil and when he'd whipped around to complain: I talked over him. "Shouldn't we clean our mess up first?"

Nil looked around, shrugged, and kept walking out the door "We're going to need a lot more towels than that and help. I say leave it and come clean...that's means we admit to our mistake."

Fear gripped me then and I whispered "Will we get spanked for it?"

Nil chuckled and shook his head "If anyone will get spanked for the mess it would be me. I'm the one that started it after all. I should've knew better and at least make an attempt to minimize the mess ."

My shoulders drooped as I said softly "But I don't want you to get spanked"

Nil turned on his...heel and patted my shoulder "I did say if. As in I don't know if your Papa will get mad or just get mildly irritated. Besides-" Nil nuzzled into my shoulder and breathed in and out before saying softly "-seeing that smile of yours and making you laugh would make any punishment worth it." Nil withdrew before I could hug him. "Now enough being sappy. I do believe I said we would do some-"

Our stomach rumbled at the same time.

"-thing after we have a snack."

I laughed into my hands while we made our way towards the stairs of doom. When we got there:

"Hold it." Nil said while tapping me with a green glowing claw. Light consumed me and I grew into a human again. Nil climbed on my shoulder. "Now go."

"But I'm naked." I replied while using a hand to move the damp hair out of my face.

"So you are." Nil said with almost a purr similar to that of a kitty-cat. "Not to worry. I was going to tell you to turn back into a Noibat when you finished crossing these stairs of doom."

I chuckled "You call them that too?"

Nil chuckles too "I have been ever since you fell down them that first time. Now mush! Go! Undela-undela!"

I giggled into my hands again and did as I was told. When I shifted back into my cuddly form: Nil tilted his head and wiggled his ears. Apparently he'd been listening to something because he'd snorted and said "No freaking way! This I gotta see."

Nil began walking away. I was... admittedly very...curious to what had caught his ears. So I followed with only a few steps separating us. Wasn't long until I began hearing the noises too. A lot of grunting, groaning, moaning, and skin slapping. Elly and Dad's voices could barely be made out so I assume they were making those noises. I couldn't make out what they were saying though. We got to the bathroom door. The noises were coming from the inside.

Nil whispered in my ear "Cross your fingers and hope that they left the door unlocked."

How do I cross my fingers? Before I could ask: Nil flew onto the door handle, turned it a little so slowly that the door only opened with a soft click that I could barely hear, then fell back onto the floor. I did my part by tip-toeing to the door and slowly pushing it open. I could feel Nil behind me as hot air and a white cloud blocked our vision of what was inside. It quickly went away though and we could finally see what was inside the...shower? I think Nil that's called the square glass box thing anyway.

The source of the cloud was apparently Dad and Elly because it rose from them in the spots where the water touched their naked human skin. They were hugging and kissing in a weird way. The beast told me that Elly and Dad shouldn't be doing this. But this was exciting the beast a lot because of that very reason. Apparently my wiener was just as excited it seems because it became all hard, stiff, and drooly again. Maybe because what they were doing was fun was why Elly and Dad were doing naughty things?

Dad was way hairier than Papa that was for sure. Though Dad's hair was blonde instead of dark brown. For some reason my eyes followed the drops of pinkish water that fell down Dad's chest and body before falling onto Elly or the floor. Dad was bleeding I... realized. For some reason one part of me felt bad that Dad was hurt someplace. While the other part shivered with a new jolt of excitement.

Also on a funny but...unrelated note: there was a lot of dirty water going into a drain. Apparently Elly and Dad were very dirty when they got in. I'm pretty sure Papa wouldn't... approve being so dirty; especially since they'd been on and off the brand new couch. I know I'm not very smart. But even I know without being told that if they had accidently made the couch dirty: they would've been in a whole heap of trouble. Maybe they would've even been spanked! For some reason picturing Dad and Elly getting spanked inside my head made a the beast scream a happy"YES!" and a laugh come out before I could swallow it.

Why is it that everytime I listen to animals they always get me into trouble? I thought as Dad stopped pushing and pulling out his wiener out of Elly's butt seemingly as fast as he could. Elly also stopped helping him. They both turned to face us at the exact same time. They just kinda froze as if someone hit the pause button on their remotes. Both of their eyes got really big as they both stared at us as if we were the scariest things ever! Which was... doubtful because how small, cute, and fluffy we were. I should as heck wouldn't be scared of us. Maybe the fear was from us catching them in the act? Yeah that had to be it.

I felt as I'd had when I finally believed Papa and Nil that I'd wet the bed. My face heated up and everything else that happened then happened now. For some reason I felt as if I had to get out of there as fast as I could and hide. So I did and hid underneath the couch.

This house was so big no one would ever find me!

Well except for Nil because he'd been right behind me.

I turned around and hugged him close. Our still hard wieners then touched and we both gasped at from I guess at how surprisingly good it felt. I had to fight the urge to rub them together more because I was scared that we would move our hiding place with us if we weren't careful enough and we would get found that way. Now wouldn't that be dumb? Despite my fear; when I felt Nil trying to...muffle his laughter with my body : I couldn't help but muffle laugh along with him.

We'd been so naughty and it'd felt so... awesome!
