"L-Lyla? Hey... what's wrong?"
Aveline noticed something off. Not only was Lyla not listening, her appearance was strange. Her usually russet hair and tail had become a blazing red. Her tail had also multiplied, set at nine separate tails. Her tattered clothing was reformed, now a knee length yukata hanging off her shoulders. Somehow, it was supported by breasts alone.
"This can't be good..."
Aveline took a step back, only to grab the approaching fox by the wrists. Her fingers wriggled and flexed as she attempted to reach for Aveline.
"S-stop! I don't want to hurt you!"
["Oh, have fun! Those damn foxes."]
As Aveline felt herself being pushed back, she channeled her Fire Aura. It coated her arms, increasing her strength. Lyla suddenly had a different look on her face. Aveline realized the underlying issue, causing her face to turn red.
"This... are you serious?! You're horny!?"
Channeling Earth Aura, Aveline let it flow into her legs. She stabilized her footing, feeling the ground sink in slightly. Her hands began to tremble slightly as Lyla stepped closer.
"Dammit!"
Aveline shoved Lyla back, the fox quickly jumping back towards Aveline. She pushed her back, slamming the smaller girl on the ground. Struggling, Aveline used her legs to throw Lyla over her head. She got back to her feet, dashing into the brush. When she looked back, Lyla seemed confused. She seemed lost.
"What the hell..."
She began to sniff the air, her eyes glowing a devilish red as she locked onto Aveline. A cold burst seemed to coat her shoulders as she timidly crawled out.
"Stay! I won't forgive you if we get hurt!"
Lyla seemed to understand a little, her face calming a little. She walked slowly, ignoring Aveline after a moment. As she got closer, she looked directly down at Aveline. Her lips curled up into a seductive grin, revealing her sharp teeth.
"Aveline..."
The way her voice trailed off, as well as how she dragged Aveline's name, came off even stronger. She reached for Aveline, only have her ear grabbed.
"Stop!"
She whined and leaned towards Aveline's hand.
"L-let go..."
Aveline rolled her eyes, pinching the fluffy ear.
"You made me feel like I'd lose my innocence, so hell no!"
The pitiful look on her face made Aveline flinch, releasing her ear. This made Lyla smile as she latched onto Aveline.
"Damn. Let me go!"
Lyla nipped down on Aveline's neck, causing her to struggle away from her. She felt a tearing pain, causing her to grit her teeth. As soon as she tasted blood, Lyla released her neck with shock on her face. Her eyes kept looking back and forth until she leaned in and licked Aveline's neck. Soft whimpers kept coming from her.
"S-sorry. I-I can't control myself!"
Aveline sighed, laying flat on her back. She reached up, rubbing the fox's ears.
"Are you back?"
She felt a soft nodding before she pulled Lyla's face towards her.
"Stop licking. It tickles."
The tears in her eyes made her more adorable in Aveline's eyes.
"So... this outfit permanent? It looks nice."
Lyla's tail and hair returned to it's natural russet, yet a pair of extra tails remained. Her tattered clothes reappeared, leaving her in the form of a disheveled beauty.
"I guess not? Erm... Aveline, could you let me go? I don't really mind, but uh... you grabbed my butt."
Her hands flashing over her head, Aveline's face turned scarlet. She attempted to apologize in vain, the fox sneaking in and sealing her lips. To keep Aveline from struggling, she grabbed both of her hands and kept them against the ground.
["Ah. She got you, though this is not exactly bad. She's in love with you, after all."]
Aveline didn't struggle, besides freeing her bound hands. Lyla began to pull away, her eyes apologetic, but Aveline slid a hand behind her neck.
"I won't let you get away with that. I'm not one to be dominated!"
She pulled Lyla back down, rolling the fox onto her back. As she sat up, sitting on Lyla's lap, she gave a smug grin as she stared down at the blushing fox.
"W-whoa..."
Aveline leaned over her, her shadowy hair draping the fox's face.
"The way I see it, I'm keeping you. Good luck losing your collar."
Aveline teased Lyla, slipping her finger underneath the collar and tugging it lightly. To her surprise, it came free and crumbled.
"Huh!? How the hell did that happen?"
Lyla looked a little guilty.
"So here's the thing... I may have broke it. Ya know... the whole crazy attacking you thing? I was gonna keep it secret for a while."
Aveline brushed the remains away, slipping her hand against the newly revealed skin.
"M-maybe you can... uh... get me a new collar? I'd wear it, but only for you."
Her face grew redder as she spoke. Aveline trailed her fingers across her neck as she sat back up.
"It's a deal. I'm not letting go of such a wonderful... friend."
Aveline winked as she got to her feet.
"I think we can get out soon. You ready to go?"
