"Well, if you didn't notice I guess that's fine," Jeff smiled before sinking slowly back into his cubicle leaving me with his odd choice of words.
I continued my work before noticing that it was lunchtime, and once again I didn't bring anything. It was an odd thing to keep forgetting considering I didn't have to carry anything else to work as I got up and headed to the lounge.
Once again, it was mostly empty besides a small woman standing in front of the vending machine. I couldn't help but smile as I walked up to her.
"Hey Sara, what was that about not putting garbage in your body?" the moment I spoke she flinched as she turned to face me. Her red eyes scanned me as she crossed her eyes and grumbled.
"D-don't get any ideas. I just forgot my lunch this morning. I wouldn't eat this garbage in any other situation," "Yeah, yeah, you don't have to prove anything to me," I sighed standing behind her as she picked out what she was going to eat. The moment I did I noticed her nose twitch somewhat as she frowned.
"You...smell different," She was the second person who had said that. Still, there was another question that popped into my head. "Hey, did Jeff, tell you?"
Despite continually seeing Sara around the office for the last few months I never actually talked about my relationship with Schwarz and how she felt about the monster and demon thing despite the fact that she herself was a demon.
"Oh, you mean about the monster girl that has been staying with you. Yes, Jeff told me," Sara said before she turned back to the vending machine. "I would have preferred you picking a nice human or demon girl, but in the end, it's your choice."
She didn't seem too bothered by the entire thing, which was a relief. It appeared whatever item Sara got from the machine finally fell out as she picked it up.
"Oh, and one more thing Joseph, you smell closer to a fox than a cat..." that was the last thing Sara said before leaving the lounge as I scratched my head.
The rest of the workday was uneventful, as I finished up my work and headed back to my apartment. I parked my car and noticed the small silver fox standing at the top of the stairs, "I guess Schwarz didn't let you in huh?" I spoke to the fox as I slowly ascended the stairs as it circled my legs.
I opened the door into my apartment to see a rare sight. It was Schwarz over the oven cooking something. At least that is what I assumed with the sheer amount of smoking escaping from the room.
I slowly walked in covering my mouth as Schwarz nearly ran up to me and smiled. "Oh you're home~" she chuckled before pointing towards the kitchen. "Since you're always cooking for me, this time I decided to try to do it for you!"
I laughed nervously. The entire room smelled like burnt fish. I didn't know if I should have laughed at her complete failure or grin and bare just to make her happy.
I looked into Schwarz's eyes. It was as if she was waiting for my approval. It seemed that the choice was made for me. "I-it smells great," I could feel the sides of my lips twitching as Schwarz nodded before her gaze shifted to the fox rubbing up against my shins.
"Seriously, I don't know how you can stand that mutt around you without wanting to gag,"Schwarz's eyes narrowed as the fox turned its head. Perhaps I wasn't giving the creature enough credit. It seemed that it could at least understand basic actions.
"Oh come on, it's not often you see a silver fox, it's not like a cat or dog either. It's a wild animal, so I expect to leave sooner or later," it was a fox after all. They aren't like cats and dogs. Unless they are domesticated, they would wander off after a bit of time.
"Fine, since you seem to like it so much, but it's not getting any of the food I cooked," Schwarz grumbled, most likely not realizing that she was rewarding the fox rather than punishing it.
I went inside as I sat on the couch, she brought me my plate of burnt flesh as she smiled at me before I nodded back. It was clear that she was waiting for me to take a bight as I lifted the for before ripping off a piece.
I was praying to myself that it wouldn't be so bad as I bit into the fish, I flinched for a moment. It didn't even taste like fish. It felt like someone took ashes from the bottom of the oven and shaped it into a fish.
I harshly swallowed before I grinned at her as Schwarz nodded.
"That's a relief I thought it was going to be bad," she laughed nervously before taking a bite herself. "Blegh, what the hell this is terrible!" she nearly dropped the plate as she glared at me. "Is your taste-buds dead or something?" "I-I just said it was good so I wouldn't hurt your feelings, I thought it was awful too," I probably said that far to eagerly as Schwarz pout for a moment.
"I tried so hard too..." she looked towards the ground before her gaze shifted back to me, "I would prefer you just tell the truth, you don't have to worry about hurting my feelings or anything like that. I rather you be honest then me trying to cook for someone else and be embarrassed,"
She had a point, then again, I doubted Schwarz was ever going to cook for anyone besides me. "Yeah, sorry about that, if you do something stupid or make something awful I'll make sure to tell you right away," I held back a laugh as Schwarz crossed her arms.
"Oh, thanks...anyway, what are we going to do for food? I guess we're going to order out now huh?"
"Well that's obvious, what do you want to eat...?" While me and Schwarz chatted about dinner plans, I noticed the fox continually examining the main room, even entering the small closet in the corner of the kitchen. I just chalked it up to the animal looking for a place to rest for the time being.
After a few minutes, we just decided on pizza as I called the order in. I jumped back onto the couch as Schwarz looked at me, before putting her hand on my chest. "You know, we have some time before it gets here..."
Before I could even give an answer Schwarz lips pressed against mine as her arms wrapped around me. We embraced one another as I slowly felt her tongue against my cheek as she slowly removed my shirt.
She got off of me for a moment as she took off what little clothing she had on before she froze for a moment, staring at something in the corner of the room.
"What's wro-" I cut myself off as I stared at the fox just glaring at us. I frowned as Schwarz bit her lip.
"You don't have to kick it out, but you have to move it to another room," she was blunt with her demand as I sighed. I would have tried to argue the point, but the fox was acting kind of creepy. I slowly got up as I went to pick up the small creature. The moment I did it jumped towards the window and left the apartment as if it was insulted.
"I guess it got bad..." I had no idea considering I couldn't read an animal's emotions well as I heard Schwarz scoff. "Don't worry about that thing, come on let's get back to what we were doing before~" Schwarz insisted as I hopped over the couch as she laughed.
We resumed where we left off as I grabbed Schwarz, pulling her towards me. I slowly grabbed her tail as she let out a small cry, "hhey don't do that so suddenly..."
"If I didn't do that I wouldn't be able to hear that voice of yours," I responded as we kissed again, my head slowly lowered to her breast as I started to nibble on her nipple.
She let out a loud moan as I lifted her tail slightly as my hand slowly slid down her as before finding the spot that I was interested in. I slowly slid my finger inside of her asshole as Schwarz held her breath.
"O-oh, we're doing that today," she entire body was shaking as I flipped her over on her stomach and smiled. I couldn't let her do all the work all the time. Even if what happened last night was just a dream I would have felt bad if I didn't return the favor. Her as was facing me as I noticed her pussy slowly dripping, I slowly pressed my mouth to the lips of her pussy as I felt her body stiffen.
Her fluids tasted somewhat salty as I let my tongue travel towards her clit. I dragged her body towards me as I gripped her. I could feel her squirming with pleasure as I increased my speed. I noticed fluids pouring into my mouth. It seemed that Schwarz barely was able to contain herself.
"I-I'm about to..." She flinched as she came into my mouth, m
y eyes widened for a moment as I took a deep breath as I removed my mouth from her pussy. I slowly pushed her body down. Her asshole was right there. I circled the rim with my finger as Schwarz quivered for a moment.
I slowly pressed the tip of my penis against the small hole as I took a deep breath before forcing my way in. Schwarz gave a harsh moan as I felt her insides tighten around me again. It has been awhile since we've done anal and considering how tight she was it showed.
"I-I can barely move..." I winced, perhaps we should have used some lubricant as I felt Schwarz take a deep breath as she loosened up slightly.
"Oh...Schwarz, have you've been practicing this by yourself?" It was a hunch as Schwarz remained silent, I smiled as I was finally free to move as I slowly started to pull in and out. I often forget how different it felt compared to a vagina as I felt the tip of my penis began to twitch.
I bit my lip. I didn't need to give any warning. I came inside of Schwarz ass as she let out a small cough. I slowly pulled out, letting the semen drip on to the couch. I gave a massive sigh as I collapsed on my back.
The moment I did Schwarz grabbed me before placing her head on my chest she then looked up and smiled at me. "Why don't we stay like this fo-"
She couldn't even finish her sentence as we heard a loud knock on the door. I had completely forgotten about the pizza we had ordered as both me and Schwarz scrambled to get our clothes back on as I ran to answer the door.
"Huh?" I looked over at the window to see a familiar fox glaring through the glass. I quickly shook my head before looking again. It was gone.
"What's wrong, hurry up and answer the door, I'm hungry!" Schwarz yelled as I tapped my lip.
It must have been my imagination. We got the pizza and ate it as the day slowly drew to a close. The fox didn't try to enter the apartment anymore that day as both me and Schwarz went started to crawl into bed before Schwarz turned to me.
"Oh, by the way, could you leave some money here for me...I want to try going shopping," she said that like it wasn't a big deal as I felt a small knot in my chest.
"W-what? You want to go shopping?"
She just nodded before tapping her lip. "Don't worry, I won't waste it on clothes, I want to buy groceries for you since you work a lot,"
I was taken aback by her statement. It seemed despite her overall lazy attitude at times she did care, but still... "Will you be alright by yourself, you'll have to walk, and you're not the best at hiding your...features," my eyes wandered to her ears and tail. I couldn't help but wonder if she would be alright without me reminding her to keep it hidden.
"I'm not stupid," Schwarz shot back, "I know that you humans have trouble comprehending tails and ears for some reason. I'll do what I will always do, plus I'm not going to the supermarket, just the dollar store to pick some stuff up that we're missing,"
I couldn't say no, plus it seemed simple enough for her to do alone..."Okay, I trust you, I'm not your parent after all," I laughed to myself, but it was something I met.
If we were going to be living with one another, I needed to relax and depend on Schwarz. I couldn't treat her like a caged animal that was only able to go out of the house when I was around. "Good, night~" it seemed that she was satisfied with that as she threw the covers over her body and closed her eyes, despite that, I just stared at the ceiling of my apartment thinking about the fox.
I remembered a fox like that when I was still in high-school, it used to hang around outside of my house and waited until I got home. It even still had Heterochromia like this one. Of course, it was ridicules to think a fox from over four years ago would follow me to a completely different state.
It was absurd, to say the least, I didn't even know why the thought crossed my mind.
Still, it was still a nagging feeling in the back of my head.

Don't you remember me?
Schwarz saw me off as I left the apartment again, I knew chances were that she would be leaving a little after me as I tried to keep myself calm. As I walked down the stairs and towards my car, I noticed the small fox staring at me again.
Our eyes met as I frowned slightly and scratched the back of my head. "Hey, I don't know you do I?" It was a really stupid thing to say to an animal, then again two months ago I would have said that demons and monsters was just fantasy...
The moment I said those words the fox's ears perked up as it quickly jumped around giving out small whines and yelps. It seemed that it was happy for some reason as the same thought from the night before entered my mind.
"No...that can't be right," I bit my lip as I took out my cellphone, before quickly dialing a number.
I let my phone ring not taking my eyes off of it as the other person on the other end picked up.
"Eh, Joseph...you know what time it is right?" It was Jeff, most likely just waking up, it made sense considering it was his day off. "Hey, I need you to call in and tell them I won't be able to make it today, something came up," I was blunt as Jeff just grumbled. It seemed that he understood that it probably wasn't something he should question.
"Fine, but you owe me for this," with that I heard a click before I sighed and stared at the fox. I was wondering if I should tell Schwarz about the entire thing, but I realized she'd probably just say to toss the fox out or not think too hard about it.
"Well, if you are the same fox I need to take you to a few places," I mentioned off hand as I opened the back door as the fox just looked at me as I frowned. "Fine then...how about this,"
I opened the passenger side door as the creature jumped in, I grumbled. It reminded me of a certain cat I knew as I got into the driver's seat, thinking about how I was going to even start investigating the matter.
I really had no idea what I was doing as I glanced over to the fox who was sitting properly in its seat as if it had something to prove. I rode around town before stopping at the side of the road. I sighed looking at the fox trying to piece together my memory of it from before.
I wasn't that close to it back then, I fed it and petted it and spent time with it, but I realized it was a wild animal that could vanish at any time. Which it did, I wasn't hurt by that fact, which is why it was so shocking to see the same fox appear to me.
"Hey...if you cared so much why did you vanish in the first place?" It was kind of weird as the fox remained silent, it was probably pointless to try to have a conversation with it as I remembered the one other person that might be knowledgeable about this entire ordeal.
I pulled out as I started driving down the road a bit before stopping at a small house. I said that but it was rather nice for its size, it was perfect for one or two people, and it was perfect for someone of a small stature like Sara.
I picked got out of the car and opened the passenger side door as the fox jumped out. It walked next to me as we went up the steps, I rung the doorbell as the chime echoed through the air.
"Who the hell...coming~" A voice came from the other side. I was pretty sure I wasn't supposed to hear the first part as the door opened to reveal Sara in what appeared to be pink pajamas.
"Oh, don't you have work today?" Sara rubbed her eyes and yawned. It seemed that she wasn't too surprised to see me as I shrugged.
"I took off, for a very specific reason," the moment I said that Sara's entire body stiffened as she brushed her hair to the side.
"O-oh this is so sudden..."
"Yeah, sorry about that...but could you take a look at this fox for a moment," The moment I said that, Sara frowned as she glared at me. I was wondering if I said something wrong as she just sighed before glancing over at the fox. The moment she did the entire mood change, I felt something threatening emulating from her.
"Where did you find this fox?" Her red eyes had a light glow to it. It seemed that she didn't need to hide anything anymore considering I knew that she was a demon.
"I-I found it outside my apartment. It was just wandering around..." The moment I did Sara nodded before motioning me into her home. Both
me and the fox walked in as I noticed pictures of what appeared to be abstract art and vases scattered around. This was probably the second time I have ever been inside of Sara's home.
"Huh, never took you for the artsy type," I laughed as Sara grumbled before walking into the kitchen. Despite it being a house, I'd say it was only about twice as big as my apartment, maybe three times as big if you stretched it.
There was undoubtedly more rooms, just from the entryway I was able to see a kitchen, a bathroom, a living and a dining room. They were small sure, but I'd say it was far too big for a single person to be living there.
"Do you want a cup of coffee?" Sara asked as she walked into her kitchen, she stood on her toes to reach the counter as I held back a chuckle.
"No, I'm fine, I'm not too fond of coffee anyway," I stated as Sara pouted as she sat on her couch before staring at the fox. "You don't notice anything odd about that fox?" She asked me a similar question as I scratched the back of my head.
"Well, it's a lot smarter than a lot of other animals I've met before," it reminded me of Schwarz before she revealed herself to be a monster. "I'm more interested in finding out if this is the same fox that I met as a kid,"
Sara's eyes narrowed, "how the hell am I supposed to know that, I wasn't hanging around you since childhood. The only one who would know if that fox is the same one, is you or the fox,"
"You have a point, I was just hoping that you would have a spell or magic potion that would make it talk or something..." thinking about it, it was even sillier now that I said it out-loud.
Sara sighed, "I can do something like that, but..." Her eyes shifted back to the fox once again, "that won't be necessary, right?" I didn't know if she was talking to me or the animal as the fox gave a low growl before letting out a noise that sounded like a sigh.
"You are correct,"
...
...
It took a moment for my brain the process what had just happened, "w-wait, you can talk?!" "Yes, it appears that I can, really I am so disappointed in you Joseph, not knowing it was me," the fox had a feminine voice as Sara crossed her arms.
