Itsune Vows

After waking up in a messy state, I Immediately shed my clothes and went directly into the shower. Still bewildered by the previous night's dream I remember getting an erection just thinking about the impossibly beautiful woman as I washed myself clean. usually great dreams like that usually disappeared when you wake up... like a bubble on a pinhead, But her face seem to be permeated in my brain, almost as if she was linked to me somehow...

I asked myself for a second time; 'Was she real?'

I emerged from my hot shower and immediately dried myself off. Taking the time to do the necessary, grooming and preparation for the date that I had with Aisha. but before that, i decided to do some research...

After showering and donning some fresh clothes, I immediately got out my MacBook and decided to lookup information on what Aisha told me about the 'Inari Kitsune'. With just one search, I had over 100 stories and definitions for what I was searching for. some links led me to stories about how they were beautiful trickster fox demons, who sometimes had more than one tail; depending on their age and power level. Most were gifted with the powers of projecting illusions and fox fire, The most powerful ones actually had powers of pyrokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation. they often feared being close to dogs and would usually flee once their identities as a Kitsune were exposed. some were known for quietly leading young men astray. And sometimes to a bad end; where the man was disgraced by his family, or stripped of their wealth and status... or even a more worse fate like death.

but other stories told of a lighter side of the spectrum, where the female Kitsune were actually devoted companions and even loving wives to the human men they entranced. sometimes staying with their lovers for life and bearing children with their human husbands. and sometimes guiding their husbands into expanding their wealth a hundred fold!

I leaned back in my chair and contemplated what was happening to me.

'Could it be that Toshio was right about that fox being something else? Am I possibly being seduced?.... nah, couldn't be...'

After my early morning online brainstorming I was feeling a little bit peckish, so I decided that I would get some breakfast!

You'd likely be surprised that they actually have a 'McDonald's' nearby! i was easily able to get the breakfast I wanted, Then I headed back to my hotel room just in time to get a call from Aisha. She told me of a famous amusement park in fujikyu highlands, so I agreed to go and spend the day with her. She agreed to pick me up outside the hotel in 15 minutes.

As soon as I put the phone receiver down on the cradle, I immediately heard a voice as clear as crystal right behind me:

"Don't forget me..."

I immediately spun around to see who it was behind me, finding that no one was in the hotel room except for me!

I started to get an uneasy feeling that something weird was going on. I've never been known for hearing things that weren't there, and I wasn't sure if my hotel room was haunted. but I know I clearly heard a woman's voice speaking to me just a moment ago!

After standing there for a moment, I grabbed my room key and my travel wallet with my alternate spending card (FYI, It's never good to carry all your ID's and money while walking around or sightseeing when abroad.) and headed to the door.

As I walked out of the hotel Aisha had just arrived. As I got in the car she seemed to be all smiles and said she would be sure to show me a great time since she was a roller coaster junkie. (Like I wasn't... bring it on!)

From spinning seats to extreme angle drops and speed, the roller coasters there had it all! It was almost as much fun as magic mountain or six flags, and about the same cost wise. I even took time at a toy booth and won Aisha a large stuffed animal! This was the first time in awhile that I had that much fun!

Around close to lunchtime the park was starting to get crowded, so we went to the in-park restaurants... we ended up getting some Yakitori from one place and for dessert we each had a candy apple. I wanted to make sure that I had eaten light in case Aisha had any more secret ride surprises for me.

As we sat and ate lunch, she had so many questions about my life in the United States. What my home was like and what not. She was surprised to find out that I was originally a country boy from a small farming community. I showed her pictures of my family and our farm, videos of our family picnics and archery competitions. Including one where my father and I had a one on one archery challenge against each other for speed and accuracy.

After seeing the video, Aisha was a little disappointed with my dad... mostly because I kept winning, so he kept demanding that we replay the challenge until I let him win...

"Demarco-San, Your father is a sore loser and a cheat..." Aisha said flatly.

"That's true, he's highly competitive..." I replied while smiling. "But you saw for yourself that I won fair and square 3 times... I just let him have the last win so he could feel like he was still on top! But don't let his competitive attitude fool you. other than that, he really is a great dad who has taught me a lot!"

"Oh, you have Horses, they're so beautiful!..." Aisha said as the video changed to showing me and my brothers on horseback in our field.

"Yep, we have 8 of them!" I replied. while finishing my food. "Hey, Your Yakitori is getting cold..."

"Oh yes..." she handed my phone back so she could continue eating her food. While she was eating, I began putting the phone into my hip pocket when suddenly, I heard a woman's voice whisper in my ear again:

"I'm waiting for you..."

I spun around quickly, but again Saw nobody was there.

This was not lost on Aisha, who was looking on and began to be puzzled by my actions...

"Is something wrong, Demarco-San?..." she asked. "...you're looking kind of agitated..."

"I'm not sure," I replied. "I think I need to go to the restroom for a minute..." Which wasn't exactly a half truth... my morning breakfast was catching up with me, So I did actually need to use the restroom... But at this point, I think I also needed to splash some water on my face to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

"Oh, sure! The restroom area is right over there, Demarco-San!" Aisha said, pointing in the direction of the nearby men's and women's restrooms.

"Thanks Aisha-chan! I'll be right back in a few minutes!" I said, as I went to the direction of the restrooms.

The first thing I did upon reaching the restroom was splash cold water on my face. I looked at my face and examined my eyes to make sure that I didn't look like I had any type of drugs or weird psychedelics in my system.

Was I tripping out?! What was wrong with me?

While I was contemplating my situation, my original call of nature reminded me of why I was in the restroom to begin with; so I proceeded to the toilet to finish my original business.

As I sat there on the toilet, I had close my eyes and tried to relax for a few moments. But when I open my eyes again, I was back on the beach at the lake that I had met Aisha and the others again!

This time, I was convinced that I was hallucinating, and immediately pinched myself multiple times... But no matter how much pain I inflicted on myself, I couldn't snap out of the hallucination! At that point, I realized that this was not a hallucination on my part... But someone trying to show me something and communicate with me!

"Come back and find me..."

This time I turned in the direction the voice came from, and I saw the woman in my previous nights dream!

As I sat there looking at her, I couldn't believe it! Though she was fully dressed as she was the night before, She looked just as beautiful as she did in my dream! only this time, I was sure it was no dream as I was wide awake! After remembering what I had read online earlier, I knew then that I was being ensnared by her and there was no escape for me. if I didn't heed her instructions, I could probably be driven to the point of insanity with her powers... or worse! A sense of dread came over me, and realizing my position, but in the end... I could only give one answer:

"I'll be there soon,..." I answered to her. "Now please stop the illusions so that I may find my way to you."

"I'll be waiting for you." She smiled and said.

The illusion abruptly ended, and I found myself staring at the restroom stall wall. I hurried up and finished my business in the restroom, then went outside to meet Aisha. I must've still looked disheveled and shaken, because she asked me was I OK when I came back. which I answered:

"Actually, I'm not feeling too well right now..." I answered. "Sorry, but do you think we could cut today short right now? I promise I'll make it up to you..."

"It's perfectly fine, Demarco-San! Besides, I had a great time today, and I want to be able to show you a lot more of our country before you leave! But if you're not feeling good, let's get you home."

And with that, we left the park and Aisha took me back to my hotel. As I exited the car, I turned around and thanked her:

"Thanks Aisha-chan, I really did have a great time with you, and I'm sorry that I don't feel well right now. But I will promise and be sure to make up for today!

"That's okay Demarco-San! Is it okay if I call you later?" She asked.

"Sure! That would make me happy!" I answered. "Until then, Sayonara Aisha-Chan!"

"Sayonara, Demarco-San!" She replied.

I closed her passenger door and she drove off, easily moving into the mid-afternoon traffic. I turned and went into the hotel and went straight to my room and changed clothes. Since I was heading back to the countryside, I chose something rugged rather than the nice casual clothing I was wearing earlier.

I knew that I only had a short amount of time before the presence that currently haunted me would grow impatient that I had not arrived yet. So I immediately changed clothes and went to my rental car that I still had in my possession. after locking in the map on my phone, I was headed back to the lake I was at the previous day. Within minutes, I was on the freeway and homing in on my destination.

It took me roughly 45 minutes to reach the lake I visited the previous day. I immediately parked as close to the edge of the parking lot closest to the lake. I then walked down to the lakeside volleyball court and picnic area I had visited the previous day. Considering that it was a public area and looked like it was used fairly often, I was surprised to see that no one was there at that moment.

I wandered around the area for a bit until I realized I was standing in a spot that I recognized in my dream and recent visions. I had started to feel foolish and impatient for being there and decided to call out:

"Okay, I'm finally here like you wanted... where are you?"

I waited for a few moments but got no reply, nor did I see anyone. I appeared to be completely alone.

I then repeated my announcement of my arrival three more times, still not getting any responses. I was all set to turn around and head back to the car, but as I did so, I once again heard a weird bark!

I turned around to find the fox that I had seen yesterday! She had appeared again near a small stream that fed into the lake. After a few moments she bolted to my side appeared to be happy to see me again! We continued where we left off the day before with belly rubs and petting her.

After awhile she kept going back and forth between us and the mouth of the stream. I wondered why she was doing this and got the feeling she wanted me to follow her. After the third time that she came back, I said to her: "No, I can't go yet... I'm trying to wait for someone..."

I looked away for a moment, only to feel something tug at the front pocket of my shorts. When I looked back, I saw that she had grabbed the squeezable floatation tag that was on my car keys and was holding them in her mouth! She ran away a short distance and stopped once again at the end of the stream to look back at me.

'Oh, god no!...' I thought to myself. 'This isn't a game I wanna play! If she runs into the woods with those car keys, I'll NEVER find them! How am I going to get back to town then?!... better yet, how am I gonna explain this to the rental company?!'

I tried calling to her to get her to come back, but she stayed there by the stream with her fluffy tail wagging. After a few moments of waiting, I tried moving to her. But when I was within a few feet, she bolted away from me, heading up the stream!

"No, NOOO! COME BACK!" I called and immediately gave chase. I HAD to get those keys back! But this was like 'chasing the family dog running away with its favorite bone...' you're never gonna catch them!

But I had to get those keys back, my phone was locked inside the car! and otherwise it was going to be a choice of a long walk back to town... or a long wait for a tow truck back to the rental office, and a longer explanation as to why I no longer had the keys to the car. So for another 30-45 minutes I continued to follow my four legged playful tormentor around further upstream.

As we progressed with her leading me further in, I noticed that in some of the spots, the water looked like it was steaming. I read that there were natural hot springs, but I never thought I would see one! The fox had led me to a small grotto with a steaming hot pool large enough to bathe in. You would have thought that it would have been part of a resort, if it wasn't surrounded by trees in the middle of a forest.

But I was so preoccupied with the scenery I had forgotten about the task at hand... getting my keys back from that fox!....

I turned back, only to find that she was gone! She completely disappeared without a trace! Dammit! Where did she go?!

I looked around for the fox for another twenty minutes, then resigned to the idea that she and my keys were long gone. I sat down on the short grass next to the hot spring feeling completely defeated. I mean, here I was... stranded in the middle of the countryside of a foreign country after being led here by a voice that was in my head. I'm At least fifty miles from the nearest city and at least ten thousand miles from home. And to boot, my phone was locked in the rental car...

...I'm screwed! How could I have been such a fool?...

As I sat there, cursing myself for my stupidity for even coming out here in the first place, I didn't even notice my surroundings and that I was not alone until I heard a female voice coming up from behind me...

"Might I be up assistance?..."

I jumped straight up to my feet in shock and surprise! I couldn't believe how someone could have gotten so close to me without making a sound!

"You scared me!" I retorted, doing my best to convey my anger at being surprised...

"My apologies, young sir... my intention was not to make you feel frightened..." she softly replied in a familiar tone...

"That's okay," I said as I turned around to face her. "I should have been paying more attention to what was happening around...." I stopped short of finishing my sentence because when I turned around, I was eye to eye with the beautiful woman from my dream!

Only in my dreams had I envisioned such a beauty, and here she was in real life right in front of me! I was instantly captivated by her golden hazel colored eyes and beautiful lips! Her beautiful and sexy body clad in the brown kimono with golden orchid prints all over! it looked just like it did in my dream!

I admit, my 'cool' was turning into 'drool' before I realized it but I got my composure back! I shook my head, came to my senses and straightened myself up.

"Uh, konichiwa, miss! Have you seen a fox around here just now?" I asked.

"Why yes, I just saw it on the other side of the hill a few moments ago..." she answered.

"I've got to go catch up with it, it's got my car keys!" I said frantically.

"Do you mean, these keys?..." she asked holding out her right hand. As she did, to my surprise and delight, there were my keys to the rental car!

"Oh thank goodness you have those keys! but how did you get them back from the fox? I've been chasing her for almost a mile now..."

"I have my ways," she replied with a seductive smile. The more I looked into her eyes, the more entranced I was becoming. I shook my head slightly, trying to keep focused.

"Well, I still thank you for retrieving my keys back. You can't imagine just how much you've saved me today..."

As I reached out for the keys, the woman smiled and quickly snatched her hand back in a playful manner.

I looked at her while she maintained her smile and extended her hand with the keys again. But as I reached out for them, she once again snatched her hand and the keys away.

Already being tired from playing 'Catch Me If You Can' with a fox earlier, I was in no mood for a game of 'keep away'...

"May I please have my keys back, Miss?" I politely asked.

"Mmmm, Of course you can... she replied with a seductive look and tone in her voice. "...but I'm curious as to how badly you want them?..."

She then reached back behind her neck for the collar of her kimono. After lifting and pulling it back from her neck, she immediately dropped my keys inside her kimono behind her back!

"Wait!" I exclaimed. "what are you doing?!" I hurried to her back, but the keys were already being concealed deep inside by all the cloth of her kimono.

There was only one way to get those keys back now...

"Please forgive me for what I am about to do, miss..."

"And what might that be?" She smiled and looked up at me.

"Something that my mother would probably smack me in the head for if she saw me doing this..." I answered "She firmly believes that she raised me as a gentleman..."

I gave her my answer as I loosened her obi on the waist of her kimono. As I began to disrobe her, she just smiled at me until it loosened up and fell open, I realized that she was completely naked underneath it! No underwear to be seen at all!

"You scoundrel!" She said, acting shocked and looking at my eyes still with a smile.

after realizing what i had just done, I hurriedly closed her kimono back and stepped away as i began quickly apologizing!

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to act so disgraceful towards you!

"Oh, such an innocent minded young man, even though you are not a stranger to a woman's body! You still haven't lost your shyness... I like that about you... I think I'll keep you for myself!"

What do you mean?" I asked. But as I opened my eyes and posed that question, her right hand was on my chest and we were again looking into each other's eyes.

"Oh, I already know your thoughts young man." She said softly as she looked at me. "I know that you hunger for my body right now! And If this is not true, Look into my eyes right now and tell me I'm wrong...."

She was completely right, and there was no way I could deny it. as this mature and perfect woman was moving in closer. I couldn't free myself from her spell I felt coming over me, but I also knew I didn't want to escape it any more than I did in my dream! I could smell her strong sweet perfume like magnolias and cherry blossoms, along with some kind of musk smell she was wearing even more. As I anticipated her touching me, My temperature rose, my heart began to race and my mind started to fog. All I could think of was my need to be with her! Before I knew it, her left hand had reached my neck and she had pulled me close until our lips met.

My thoughts were like fireworks upon contact! I kissed her softly and she returned it by kissing me more deeply. The more we kissed, the deeper and more passionate we became. When her kimono opened up again while we kissed, I slowly reached around her waist with my right arm and my left hand was placed on her right breast. She moaned as we continued to kiss. after a few minutes, I realized that she had shed her kimono and it had completely fallen off and was just laying on the ground in a small pile with my keys behind her, both had been long forgotten now.
