Kyle motioned for Tokala to come over and sit on his bed. Kyle picked up his paper and sat facing Tokala.
"Today, near about twenty to thirty minutes away from Obsidian, a horde of thirty two squealers appeared and seemed to be on a direct course for the tribe. I, Kyle Hishamie, led a one man attack on said horde, wiping them out completley."
Kyle left out the part of where Ranna followed him and assisted him. Kyle was not one hundred percent sure why, partly was maybe he did not want to admit how much she had helped. Maybe another part was how he was not suppose to have gone off by himself in the first place.
"Recieved minor wounds, nothing fatal, and headed towards the building known as Y-M-C-A. There I found a working generator, hot water, and minimal destruction of property. Could be useful to know that there was no evidence of beasts. Could be they have finally deserted the building."
Kyle flipped his papers and continued.
"This is only the latest in most recent attacks. A few days ago there was a horde of Doom Labs, and before that HellHounds. Suspicious Behavior indeed. My thoughts are something or someone is attracting the beasts somehow."
Kyle finished his report and handed his papers to Tokala.
"Thoughts?"
Tokala sat on the bed and gave his full attention to Kyle. He nodded at each pause and absorbed the information like a sponge. He took the papers when handed them and slowly read through them. He handed them back after a few silent moments and thinking on his words.
"Sounds correct. Your hypothesis on the attacks could be right. However, perhaps they are becoming attracted to the large amount of scents in one area. Maybe a nest of other animals nearby." he tilted his head.
"It should be looked into more." he rolled his shoulders and studied Kyle.
"It isn't a good thing though...massive amounts of them."Kyle nodded.
"It isnt. I dont understand why my grandfather and fathe rnever had problems like this. First we have what appears to be Beasts getting attracted to our tribe, then we get hit by a fireball sent by someone who wants to kill us. Could this get litterally any worse."
Kyle sighed and grabbed the items Tokala brought in.
"What are these by the way?"
Tokala got a sheepish look as soon as the items were brought up.
"The jar has mushrooms. The other container is fruit tree seeds" he rubbed his neck and hoped Kyle didn't notice the seeds were stolen. He had a feeling he would be mad. Then again, seeds would help the tribe a lot so maybe it would be overlooked. He proceeded to avoid eye contact.
Kyle noticed Tokala acting strange and grinned.
"Bet you stole these huh? Damn dude, you realize one of your best friends is the Chief badass right? You didnt have to steal, just ask."
Kyle popped a mushroom in his mouth and offered Tokala one.
Tokala breathed a sigh of relief. Kyle wasn't mad...that was good. He took the other different looking mushroom and popped it in his mouth. The effects for him were almost immediate. The fur on his tail lifted up to where the skin was visible and his pupils dilated. He blinked, then blinked again. He wasn't feeling quite right.
For Kyle it took more than a few seconds for the ffects to hit him. Kyle looked around and at first all was well, but a few moments later everything became....wavy. He felt like he was underwater.
"Yea so....where...where did you....you say you got these."
Kyle tried to get up but the vertigo he felt caused him to stay in his seat, his head leaning on to his shoulder suddenly very heavy.
Tokala didn't even try to get up, he almost didn't want to. He felt all relaxed and like he would tell everything he ever learned if he was asked. He blinked.
"I picked them. Thought the two weird ones would be good too but I only found two. Guess they had side effects" he swayed somewhat and looked around himself with a weird look on his face.
Kyle looked at Tokala, then tried to throw his writing utensil at Tokala, only to fail and have it drop on his lap.
"Tooooooooookaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaa, you idiot. Why did youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu get ussssssssssss this. We have not done stuff like this in soooooooooo long."
Tokala waved his body a bit and stuck his tongue out.
"I totally didn't know...they smelled different" he waved a bit again. [color]andiwantedtoimpressyoubecauseithinkilikeyou"[/color] he felt slowed down but was more sped up.
Kyle could barley hear what Tokala was saying. He could almost litterally hear his heart beating. Or something at least. Kyle raised his right index finger and used his ppowers as a flashlight. Kyle shined his light at his face, the shined it at Tokala.
"Dude......like......we are all.....just dust in the wind. But this light, man, this light......it is a thing of beauty."
Tokala squinted at the light and found himself laughing.
"Dude. Dude. we are so messed up right now." Almot like he couldn't control his body he felt himself inching forward until he was very close to Kyle. He found himself kissing him.
Kyle sat still, completley taken back by what his friend was doing him to him. Or thought he was, Kyle pinched his leg just to be sure he was not hallucinating. Which Kyle found out he wasnt. Kyle tried to fight off Tokala, but he could not find the strength to do so. It was not like he liked this, although he had no problems with anyone who was male and liked males. But Kyle had his eyes set on one side of the fence, and it was not his own. Never the less, Kyle was powerless to do anything.
Tokala kissed a bit longer before jerking back. He snapped out of it and snapped out of it fast. Ears back and eyes wide with realization he nearly flew out of the bed, stumbled and fell face first. There he stayed as if not wanting to stand and deal with what happened.
Kyle was locked in a trance. One of his best friends kissed him. Also while he was never attracted to males.......Kyle put a hand in his pants and smiled. He had no erection. Kyle realized that he was suprised he was glad he was not hard. Kyle took his hand out of his pants.
"So.......was that because of the mushrooms or.....how long have you felt that way?"
Tokala remained face firt on the floor. His mind racing to the point he barely heard kyle. He would have to get up. He should get up. he really really did not want to get up. Ever so slowly he stood. He did not turn around and exhaled.
"Kind of a mixture........I dont know" Damn this was awkward.
"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllll it is really sweet. But I do not like men......plus," Kyle said trying to whisper.
Kyle leaned forward and fell flat on his face. Kyle slowly cralwd over to where Tokala was.
"I kinda.........like am already sorta spoken for.....I think I proposed to Ranna that new girl."
Tokala sighed. He knew that...he did and yet his body went for it anyway. Damn body. He flicked his ears as he heard kyle fall. He then looked puzzled as kyle crawled to him and blinked. Ranna...the one that caused him to smack into a forcefield. Well damn. He managed to force his ears to rotate up and chuckled. It sounded somewhat hallow, but he wasnt going to be that friend that hated the signifigant other.
"Nice. Though..it shouldnt be a think on that. You should know." he also liked Alexandra....so...yea screw you and your thoughts brain.
Kyle laughed and rested his head on Tokalas lap.
"Buddy buddy buddy.....she has amazing boobs dude. Like for real. And she is a great kisser. I say I think because I was joking and some stuff was said but I think she might have taken it seriously. I say joking as in....you know...i was doing my theatrical thing."
Kyle coughed and looked up at Tokala.
"So are you....purely gay or....I mean ive never seen you with a women before."
Tokala looked down and rolled his eyes.
"Dude you are screwed. like seriously and completly fucked" he shook his head. He then blinked at the question and snorted.
"I swing both ways. which gets both awesome and weird" He gave a smile at that, bit really....most of the flings he has had were because the interested party was purely fascinated with the idea of being with a fox man.
"Whats it like, having sex as a fox man? I mean, what is it like from your perspective? I am sure most people would find it fascinating!"
Kyle decided enough was enough. Kyle sat up shakily and planted a firm kiss on Tokala's lips and held it for a few seconds, letting go and breaking the kiss.
"Ok that was my apology, for not noticing it sooner buddy. I know how hard it must be, to be friends with someone as hot as me and not be bale to have me. So tonight you can have that little kiss to do with however you please."
Tokala shrugged.
"I mean i have all the same parts...just...a tail. so its basically normal" he shrugged again.
"I think most of the time they expect more craziness because of the whole animal thing" he looked up deciding that was enough of that answer. His focus was pulled back to kyle as he stood and was taken off guard when he got kissed. A blush spread on his face and he blinked several times. He opened his mouth to say something witty...or sarcastic...or something...but couldnt manage to get words out.
Kyle laugehd and fell on his ass, grinning widely.
"SO i mean besides me, who else do you like? What about Mackenzie, that blonde farmer? Slightly muscular, amazing tan. Or what about Susan, the clothes washer? She is pretty cute with an awesome rack! Or is it men that you like in particular?"
Kyle sighed.
"I dont know man. I mean did you know Alexis kissed me dude? Then she tried to sleep with me. I tell you trying to not fuck until marriage now that I am leader is harder than ever. But Ranna.....she is slightly easier to be around. She can be bossy, but never tries to hide her emtions not like Alexis. Alexis though...we have known each other for a lot longer time."
Tokala shook himself out of it a bit and stuck his tongue out at kyle. he then tilted his head as he listened to the list of elegible people.
"I have someone in mind. Shes..different but that is what makes her amazing" his eyes then held some emotion when he heard about the kiss and the rejection. he blinked and tried not to betray how he felt about alexandra now that he was getting to know her when they train. he did manage to chuckle.
"You are royally screwed man. But, i think the woman who makes you happier is the one you should try to be with. And that sounds like...Ranna" at least thats what he hoped kyle was thinking.
Kyle completley missed Tokala's sublte hint. Kyle shrugged and sat up.
"Maybe.....and of course I am pissed at Alexis right now. She fucking disobyed my direct order, nearly died in the process, probably never even went to work with Mark the librarian, and if she did she was probably late/ But when she almost died....I dont know man I felt something. I dont want her to die man.....she has this fire in her you know. That give em hell attitude that no one can stand up to."
Tokala watched kyle stand and followed suit. He tilted his head and whispered.
"Yea i do" he shrugged and crossed his arms.
"She is certainly a handful. If you want I can keep more of an eye on her. Make sure she doesnt do anything dumb" mental face palm because he made that very obvious.
Kyle slapped Tokala's shoulder.
"That is GREAT idea man. Listen as Tribe cheiftan I order you to follow Alexis. You are to stay by her side and keep her out of trouble and following her punishment. You are to stay on her like a hawk man. No letting her out of your sight for even a second. Dude bro you are captain of my guard, I give you full authority of her person."
Kyle shook his head, trying to clear it but the mushrooms were too strong. He would be fine in an hour since his system dealt with this stuff better than regular peoples systems do. In fact all super powered people shared this trait. But Kyle ended up falling in his seat.
Tokala blinked as he got a slap on the shoulder. Not what he was fully expecting, he was expecting kyle to figure it out and have a mess with each other feast, but this works. He felt his mouth twitch into a smile as kyle went along with the idea and put him in charge of alexandra's person. She would probably hate this. He would probably not survive the experience, but it would certainly be interesting. He nodded.
"You got it" He watched kyle fall into his seat and chuckled. He helped kyle back up and nudged him into his bed.
"You need a nap. Take one."Kyle did not even try to fight it. Kyle muttered one "Thanks bro" to Tokala and passed out, not to wake up for another hour.
