+18 AKA 08

A Kitsune’s Ascent 08:

Zack Learns to Fox Around

“I can’t believe that happened…” Zack said, blushing as she stretched her body back out and tried her best to relax on the couch, her body fixing itself as she did so. “It’s like… Being a fox just felt… so nice…”

“Cover up,” Bobby said bluntly, tossing a blanket over her suddenly and out of nowhere. Simultaneously, he held a hand over Jaq’s eyes. “That ain’t nothing we need to see, girl.”

“Eh?” Zack said, pulling the blanket around herself. “Huh. I kinda forgot I was a chick at this point.”

She got up, keeping herself wrapped up and walked over to her room, a strange scent in the air as she searched for a decent pair of underwear to use. “Huh, is it just me or does it smell slightly damp in here. Like, did someone forget to let the cleaning lady in last night?”

Jaq perked up with a wag of his corgi tail. “Wait, that hot chick from down south… the one we had to turn away for the night because of your state… She’s the cleaning lady? She’s gonna come back?” he asked with a grin.

Bobby facepalmed. “Seriously, Zack? I know you’re rich but do you need a cleaning lady for a dorm this small? It’s like a twenty-minute clean at worst with the two of you.”

“But Booobby! It’s so much nicer when professionals do it, and it helps the economy!” Zack whined, dressing herself in her last pair of Boxers and slipping on a shirt and her modified shorts.

“You’re hopeless,” Bobby shook his head in resignation.

Once Zack was fully dressed and back in the living room, Bobby clapped his hands together. “Okay, time to talk shop. So, we all got the lightning down after the lecture, right? At least the feeling?” he asked, snapping his fingers and generating a small but notable spark. “Still weird to be able to do that, but hey, I got horns and Zack’s got tits now, so not the weirdest thing to happen. Hmm. Feels kinda weak, though,” Bobby finished. “How about you two?”

“Hmmm?” Zack zapped her hand with her tail, causing a noticeable arc of electricity. “I think my tail cheats. It’s so fluffy it builds up static constantly…”

Jaq grinned. “I can control my pc with my lightning. And I can charge the battery,” he chuckled.

“Right. You two have all the luck there,” Bobby leaned back, arms behind his head. Then he seemed to start. “Hey, there is a mystery left here. What was that? I know you got the whole fox theme going, but you transformed into a literal fox on stage. A cute one, too,” Bobby added with a shit eating grin.

Zack puffed up a little instinctively, her tail vibrating as her ears perked right up. “I was cute, wasn’t I?” she asked happily. “So small and fluffy! I wanna try that again.”

“Go for it, I could post pics to Capper,” Bobby said, pulling out his cellphone. “I’d show those pissy cute cat pic supremacists a real cutie.”

“Hmmm~” Zack grins. “Lemme see…”

She tried to focus, to feel how she had changed the first time. But for some reason, no mater how hard she focused, the only thing that she succeeded in doing was making her tail and ears go back into her body instead… the exact opposite of what she wanted.

“Hey! Your tail is gone!” Jaq said with a horrified look on his face. “Hurry and bring it back!”

“I’m trying!” Zack groaned. “I dun know how!”

“Sweet ramen that don’t look right,” Bobby said, slightly green. “It’s like uncanny valley just shot to a thousand with you. I don’t even know what’s wrong, just it ain’t right.”

It took several minutes of panicked flailing, and Jaq patting her on the head for the ears and tail to come back…

But then, Zack had an idea.

“Well,” she said, enjoying her headpats. “I managed to get them back…”

“You did…” Jaq said, “But only after calming down.”

“Hmm. Maybe you need to practice? You did go full poofy fox when you were shocked on stage. Jaq? Got anything that could repeat that with her?” After a moment, Bobby added, “Safely.”

“Got a rack full of just of 18650’s,” Jaq stated. “Pulled them out of my old laptop server rack, so I could see about using them to keep a battery bank for the dorm room just in case of a blackout.”

“Whatever works,” Bobby shrugged.

“Lemme just put together a temporary circuit with a safety switch,” Jaq said. “I’ll be right out.”

“Okay~” Zack stated with a grin. This was going to be fun!

After about an hour, Jaq came out of his room with a suspiciously well built and 3D printed tazer backpack, smirking at her. “Okay, let me just adjust some dials so that it won’t be too much power at the poker~” he grinned, the zappiness slowly going down as he cranked a set of nobs down. “It’s gonna be a lot, though. About as much as a regular tazer. You ready?”

“What?” Bobby looked as if Jaq had casually suggested they eat the mailman. “What are you on about? This is way overkill. I thought you were being paranoid about safety back there, this is, well, bro, it’s a bit much.”

“Nah, the wattage on Professor Oujii’s contraption was a bit higher than what I have this set to. That one went of like thunder. This one will go off like a light zap.”

Bobby looked unconvinced but sighed. “Well, as long as Zack’s okay with it, I guess I am too.”

“It’s fine~” Zack grinned, touching the tazer herself and getting a bit of a shock.

…But nothing happened, other than her tail puffing up like it was fully charged.

“Weird,” Bobby said, looking at the tazer himself. He tapped it and jolted. “Yup, it’s definitely live,” he shook his hand a few times. “Well, if a shock isn’t doing it, what do you think triggered it up on stage? Stage fright or something?”

“I mean, I’ve never really—” Zack began, only for a loud bang to go off next to their dorm room, followed by the sound of heavy guitar riffs and Zombie Rage Metal screaming through like the sounds of the disturbed undead.

And Zack…

She found herself small and on the floor again, her clothes feeling quite big for her. Ah. Her heart was beating very fast…

“Kon…” she barked pitifully, covering her ears.

“Looks like you Foxed around and Found Out huh,” Jaq laughed. “Also, good music, but like, damn bro, why so loud.”

“Eh, I’ve heard louder. Sound proofing’s not too bad in here and the gym goes at least this hard when Ray is hitting the weights,” he said, snapping multiple pictures of Zack who had recovered and was posing for her glamour shots. “I swear, if I can figure out how to monetize this, I’d make a killing. Also fuck you catlover742, get a load of this foxxo,” Bobby said with an odd relish.

~~~~

Bobby slapped his hands in the gym where they’d all met up. Everyone had come for this: Ray, Jaq, Bridget, Zack’s new minion Emo Dude and what a poor fuck he was, and finally Nicole, who’d literally wandered in attracted by the attractive, fit, sweaty people working out and stuck around.

“So, everyone got that? Zack, you hereby consent to being surprised, even, dare I say, bamboozled, over the next week by everyone here using whatever means the good people of this gym deem fit?” Bobby asked, smirking.

“Uh, the way you say that makes me somewhat worried, but sure… What could go wrong?” Zack responded with a sigh, her ears flicking a little.

Bobby’s grin was damn near predatory, and he saw it reflected in everyone there.

Zack, seeing them all grinning at her in such a way, transformed and hid her tail between her legs.

“Oh this is going to be good,” Bobby cackled in the menacing way only long time friends could manage.

~~~~

Bridget waited a day to strike. A fox like Zack would be on way too high alert to properly shock and awe after a conversation like that.

But it came as sure as day.

Bobby and Zack were walking ahead after they’d had lunch in a café and were heading to the gym for a post-meal workout, talking about boxing yet again. Those two were maniacs for the stuff.

Casually, she pulled out her earphone. “Hey Zack, got a new song from Babylon Dunez you might like,” she said.

Zack slowed down and tilted her head cutely at Bridget. “Oh?” she asked. “Okay~”

Bridget put the earphone in Zack’s ear as deep as she could and hit resume.

Snarling, angry dogs barked and growled played through the phone, sounding like they were seconds away from tearing into her.

“Kyaaaaaaaaun!” Zack screamed as she dropped into her arms in fox form, hiding her head in the bunny girl’s clothes.

Bridget held the trembling fox in her arms, blowing a bubble with her gum as Bobby whirled around with a ‘what?’ expression.

“Snarling dogs. I hate them a lot now,” she said, perking her ears for emphasis. “But Zack’s way worse about it. I think I win.”

Bridget continued to pet Zack as Bobby broke out laughing, feeling very proud of herself.

~~~~

Bobby had to give it to Bridget, she got Zack good. But, he’d known Zack a lot longer and had an ace up his sleeve.

All it took was a quiet moment. He pulled his phone and began dialing a number in plain view.

“Bobby?” Zack asked, trepidation filling her voice as she spoke. “Who are you calling?”

“Oh, it’s nothing serious, just an overdue call,” he finished dialing, and turned it around just as it finished dialing.

“Why haven’t you CALLED, ZACK! I Know you’re there! Bobby doesn’t call me for nothing you know!” Zack’s Mom screamed into the phone before devolving into literal geckering.

“Hauuuuuu!” Zack howled, already in fox form at this point and geckering right back.

Bobby watched this a moment, Zack in fox form making… sounds, at his phone and Zack’s mom doing the same even louder over his phone.

He, uh, was going to let them sort this out on their own. Maybe Ray was available for a run?

~~~~

At this point, Ray was sure people had been using their phones to mess with Zack a little too much. So of course, he decided to go old school, and give a little bit of an analog scare instead.

He waited until it was 3am during the Gym’s annual movie night, where he would usually put on a show with the owner about all the things people did over the year — professionally edited this time by Jaq, the bloody genius — and where they would show off the gains people had made. And at just the right point in the movie, where the boxing match was about to get good, he dropped a lead pipe near where Zack was perched on Bobby’s arm.

And what would you know? Zack really did transform when startled enough. Heh, kinda cute really.

He slipped Bobby a high-five, and gave the cute little fox some bacon while he wrapped an arm around his boyfriend.

This was the good life…

~~~~

Emo Frankfurter Dude was really shit at surprising people unless it was revealing the black hole of disappointment that were his parents.

So, after brainstorming several days, he had a plan he knew was proper shit but he had nothing else.

He passed the flask over to his self-proclaimed “boss”, Zack, while they were hanging out after studying together.

“Hyrrrm?” Zack asked, sniffing it and taking a swig. “…Emo Dude? Did you run out of Alcohol already? That was supposed to last you until the next shipment came in….”

Emo Dude sighed. He’d failed. As usual. “Yeah,” he admitted, taking the flask back and willing the apple juice to become alcohol with his mind alone. It didn’t work. “I had a family reunion. Imagine my parents. Now imagine forty people who share values and brain cells with them.”

“Ah,” Zack nodded. “I’ll have our supplier ship up an assortment that you might like…” she patted him on the legs. “Also some good snacks to go with them.”

“Thanks,” Emo Dude nodded. His life really sucked, but meeting Zack had made it better even if by better it enabled him to drink enough to forget his family once in a while.

~~~~

Jaq smirked, clicking on the familiar trucker hat of the Capper app, and sending a small little masterpiece to Zack.

Heh, he still got a chuckle over Zack’s name. It was so edgy LMAO. Like, it had a ck instead of a q in it. His parents were nerdy As.

Kek. Welp. All he had to do was wait—

And Zack sent her response immediately.

“That’s a Dead Meme Jaq!” Zack squeaked in fox from her room as she somehow typed exactly that out on the phone.

He giggled. Menacingly.

She nosed his door open, wiggled when she saw him, and then pounced.

Honestly, that was his first time realizing getting too excited would turn him into a Corgo.

~~~~

Zack was tired from all the capital E Excitement going around. So when Nicole walked up to her, wearing a sexy teacher’s outfit, she was prepared for the worst.

But then, Nicole simply smiled a sexy smile, pinning her to the wall of the girls locker room as the Succubus caressed her jaw with her finger.

“Well Zack~? Are you ready to have your breath taken way?” Nicole asked, leaning forwards, her deep purple eyes looking into Zack’s with a hypnotizing stare.

“Um, I, uh,” Zack squirmed, unable to say a word.

“All you have to say is yes, Zack,” Nicole purred into her ears. “And I can show you— The World!”

Space expanded around them, and they were surrounded by cherry blossoms, foxes, and cute demon girls playing together in a strangely comforting scene straight out of ancient times. And in that scene, she was being straddled by Nicole, petting her and smiling.

“Shall we kiss, while no one is watching?” Nicole asked, enjoying the look on her face.

Zack nodded, and thus they kissed. Deeply, slowly, and oh so intensely they kissed.

The magic of Nicole’s kind flowed through her, and the scene changed, going through all the things she would have to learn as a Kitsune as well as a lot of lessons on Swordsmanship and Battle that she never knew she had locked away, deep in the recesses of her soul.

Even such things as Courtly Manners and Magical Arts were laid bare to her as they kissed, and when they finally broke free, they were back in the locker room, and she was panting. And more than a little wet down below.

“Yummy~” Nicole grinned. “And it seems like my experiment worked. Hope it helps, little fox~”

With that, she was left there, in a puddle of her own femcum.

She wasn’t able to move for another entire hour.

AN:

Kitsu: Ar nar! The foxxo has been lewded!

HiddenMaster: Indeed. That be the danger of a succubus in the setting. But, could be a bit of a reward after the voluntary torment she went through that week to try and get a feel for her fox transformation.

Awfully strange, what happened with the world near the end. Wonder what’s going on there?

Kitsu: Indeed. I admit, I may have been memeing on a couple different bad anime fanfiction tropes, and making a Jojo reference at the same time.

If you know, you know, lmao.

Also, Jaq is based on someone we know on Discord, loosely. He actually talks like that, yes.

HiddenMaster: Indeed.
