At Last, Reunion by ImoutoCommissions

Hinoka has not aged a day since she met her husband; she has wanted to 
remain the same cute little fox that he first met, her growth freezing 
in place at that time and never progressing since then. However, the 
same cannot be said for Kaze, and after eighty years together, his 
strength is finally starting to falter. The man is now a century old, 
and though she has used her magic to keep him much healthier than most 
humans, there is nothing she can do to prevent aging.

She stays at his side, tending to him on his bed of straw, knowing that 
he is nearing his end. He has grown frail, and does not have much time 
left. As it is, he already seems to know that his time is upon him, as 
he looks up at her and says, "Thank you for so many wonderful years 
together."

"No, Kaze, don't say anything like that," she protests. "You're going to 
get better, so just save your strength for now!"

"Now, now, Hinoka," his voice already sounding so weak that it is a 
wonder he can speak at all. "At least let me say a proper goodbye to 
you. I've been blessed with more time with you than I ever thought 
possible, so I suppose it's only fair that it comes to an end 
eventually...I love you, I always will..."

She waits for him to say something else, but he doesn't. He will never 
speak to her again, she realizes, as his hand grows stiff in hers. She 
remains with him even until he starts to grow cold, and by then, she is 
composed enough to do her duty, ignoring the ache in her chest, knowing 
that her husband is no longer with her. She calls their dozens of 
children to inform them of their fathers passing, and together, the 
family builds a funeral pyre for him. With her blue fox fire, she burns 
his body and watches as his spirit passes on.

As he is sent on to the afterlife, she is nearly inconsolable, and her 
children gather around her, attempting to comfort her as she watches the 
pyre burn, until all that is left of her beloved husband is ashes. This 
day was always going to come, she knew, but that does not make it any 
easier to handle now that the day is upon her. Soon enough, she has to 
bury his ashes and as she does, she makes a vow to him, and to herself.

"Someday, I will find you again," she says. "Someday, when you move onto 
your next life, when you return to this earth, I will find you again. 
Until then, no other man will take your place. I swear it, my Kaze."

~X~

Years and years pass, until Hinoka does not bother counting them any 
more. She has five tails now, and the look in her eyes is much different 
than the look she had in her youth. Now, she looks sad, with a profound 
look of longing in her eyes, one that set in not long after the passing 
of her husband, as she had to accept what it was like to live without 
him. Other than those changes, she looks the same as she always did, the 
years doing nothing to detract from her beauty, and without having aged 
a day. When she finds him again, she wants to look like she did when 
they met, and when they last saw each other.

In this modern time, she spends her days waiting for him, and now, as 
she looks out over the city of Tokyo, she gets a feeling that she can't 
quite explain. But, somehow, she begins to sense that her wait is 
nearing its end, and that she will not have to live alone for much 
longer. She does not know how to describe the sensation at first, but it 
draws her forward, compelling her to search much more thoroughly than 
she ordinarily does.

The day is February 14th, but that means nothing to Hinoka right now. 
She does not even think about it, as she descends on the city and is 
overwhelmed by a sensation she knows all too well. Now, she can feel a 
familiar ki, one that she has not felt in centuries. Somewhere in this 
city, her beloved is waiting for her, and she follows the feeling of 
that ki, letting it pull her and guide her to where she hopes that she 
will find him waiting for her.

Soon enough, she arrives at a building and ascends stairs, realizing 
that this is an apartment complex, and she has been brought to a 
specific apartment. The door is locked, and when she knocks, there is no 
answer. This does not deter her, and she goes for the nearest window, 
managing to get inside with no difficulty.

The room she finds herself in is rather messy, with clothing, books, and 
papers strewn everywhere. Those books and papers seem to be academically 
focused, but then, she finds what she knows to be manga, something that 
has become rather popular in recent years, and art- paintings and 
drawings everywhere, featuring girls that resemble her in one way or 
another, but always with her petite, girlish body type. Already, this 
tells her that she has come to the right place, but when she inhales the 
scent of some of the discarded clothing, she recognizes it immediately, 
because no amount of time apart could cause her to forget that scent.

This is where Kaze lives now. She has found him.

~X~

Kaze is mildly exhausted after another day of school, and is glad to be 
returning to his apartment. The reincarnation of Hinoka's husband is a 
bulkier, heavy set university student, who knows nothing of the past 
that he possesses, other than some vague feelings of familiarity while 
sketching some of his favorite characters. Needless to say, he has no 
idea that an immortal kitsune is waiting for him when he opens the door.

But that is exactly what is waiting for him, and as soon as he opens the 
door, Hinoka pounces, knocking him to the ground as she lands on his 
chest, her five tails wagging in excitement, almost making her seem more 
like a puppy than a fox.

"Kaze!" she exclaims. "I'm so happy to have found you, my husband! Just 
as I promised, I've returned to your side!"

"Wh...how do you know my name? How did you even get in here?" he asks, 
once he has recovered enough from his shock to speak. "Wait, are you one 
of my neighbor's kids? Did they ask you to play a prank on me or 
something?"

"You don't remember me, do you?" she asks, looking a little forlorn 
before brightening again. "Well, I thought that might happen! Don't 
worry, I can tell you everything!" And then, without waiting for a 
response from him, the girl launches into a story, introducing herself 
as Hinoka in the process. The story she tells him is one of a samurai 
named Kaze, one that she once fell in love with and married, and spent 
many happy years with and had many children with, before he eventually 
passed. Now, she claims to have met him again, in a new life.

Namely, she thinks the Kaze she is sitting on is her husband that she 
has waited nearly three hundred years for. Allegedly.

Gently, he nudges her off of his chest so he can sit up properly, and 
say, "Alright, you're very convincing. Tell whoever sent you that they 
got me good, and get points for creativity. Still, kinda mean to use a 
little girl for a prank like this."

"I am no little girl! I already told you that I'm a kitsune, didn't I?"

"Come on, your tails will come right o-"

"Ow!" She lets out a yelp of pain when he pulls on one of her tails, 
trying to remove it to expose her costume. For a moment, he can only 
stare at her, as it dawns on him that this really isn't a little girl.

"You can't seriously be..."

"Still don't believe me? Very well," she says, and with a wave of her 
hand, a small tornado suddenly kicks up in his room, stunning him even 
more. However, the tornado does no harm, and instead simply tidies up 
the mess he left, that he still hasn't had a chance to get cleaned up. 
Well, now it looks like he doesn't have to.

It takes a moment for the shock to wear off, but once it does, he says, 
"Alright, alright...so you're an ancient kitsune. Still not sure about 
me being your samurai husband, but...I guess the least I can do is let 
you stay here, since you came all this way for me."

He decides to simply go through the motions and take this as it comes, 
because if he allows himself to think about it too much, he will 
probably drive himself insane. Instead, he gives her a tour of his 
apartment, and she is appalled at the mess, saying, "Allow me to clean 
the rest! And to cook for you as well! I must perform my wifely duties, 
since you...have very clearly needed that for a while."

"Uh...okay, if you insist. I can show you where the vacuum cleaner and 
the washing machine are," he says. "Oh, and the kitchen too. I don't 
have much to cook, but you're welcome to anything that you find."

Hinoka simply stares at any of the appliances and electronics that he 
shows her, struggling to understand how the modern devices work. The 
vacuum simply coughs up dirt when she tries to use it, and the washing 
machine spills water and soap over, leaving even more of a mess for her 
to clean up. She tries not to let her lack of success get to her.

Her fox magic does a much quicker job of cleaning, she decides, and she 
soon ignores them in favor of doing it herself. Kaze watches in 
amazement, still hardly believing that any of this is real, as she 
cleans his apartment before his very eyes, all without the use of any of 
his appliances; all with the use of her own magic.

Soon enough, the messes are all cleaned up and his clothes are hanging 
to dry- he makes a note to put them in the drier later, because he 
doubts they will dry at the rate she thinks they will, hanging in his 
home like this- and she sets her mind on making him dinner. Whatever he 
has in his kitchen seems to be enough for her, though she says, "I won't 
be able to use my magic for this, not if I want to give you the meal you 
deserve. I will figure out your kitchen in no time!"

She assures him out so that she can figure it out for herself, and he 
has a bad feeling about it, but decides to wait it out. He has never 
before seen anyone struggle this much with such basic appliances, and he 
wonders if she really is as old as she claims. Her claim of being a 
kitsune with powerful magic was true enough, so, at this point, he sees 
no reason not to believe that as well.

He is snapped out his thoughts by a loud sound, followed by a wail, and 
he jumps up, hurrying in the kitchen to make sure that she is okay. What 
he finds is his kitchen in complete disarray, and Hinoka, though fine 
otherwise, completely covered in soot. Kaze is not entirely sure how she 
managed such a disaster all on her own, but when she sees him, she 
starts crying even harder, and he quickly runs to her side, wanting to 
make her feel better as soon as possible.

"Hey, it's fine," he says. "You did your best, we can...we can get all 
this cleaned up, and maybe order in? You've already done a lot, so you 
don't have to worry about cooking for me or anything."

"B-but I....but I...just wanted to be your wife again!" she sobs. "I did 
everything I could, but I'm just...I'm just no good at this!"

"Hey, that's not true at all. You're better at housekeeping than I've 
ever been, and the kitchen doesn't look much worse than it did before I 
cleaned it last week, you should have seen it," he lies, hoping to cheer 
her up. "Do you want me to help you get yourself cleaned up now? I don't 
know if you'll know how to work my modern bathroom either, so..."

His bathroom is very small, definitely not intended for two people to 
share, but they manage, both of them cramming into the tight shower. 
Though Hinoka was very down about her failings, she immediately 
brightens as she marvels at the things that seem very mundane to him. 
She is not at all familiar with modern plumbing, and Kaze's "ability" to 
control the temperature of the water impresses her to no end. Even when 
he insists that he isn't doing anything special, she insists that he is, 
and that even with her foxfire, she struggles to make the water feel 
just right.

He feels a bit odd about washing this girl, who is practically a 
stranger to him, but being in a tight space completely naked was already 
odd enough, she takes it all in stride, seeing no problem with it. To 
her, she is just bathing with her husband, like she always used to.

But before, they didn't have such luxuries as body wash and shampoo. His 
products aren't particularly fancy, but since she has never seen 
anything of the sort, that makes no difference to her, and once he 
begins to wash her body, she melts under his touch, moaning happily and 
inspiring even more questionable feelings in him. He knows that he 
shouldn't take advantage of his situation, but he finds that he can't 
help exploring her body thoroughly as he washes her, leaving no place 
untouched before he shampoos her hair and her tails.

Once she is completely showered and rinsed off, he dries her and wraps 
her in a towel, carrying her in his arms to lay her down on his bed. "Do 
you want me to brush out your hair? And, um, your tails?" he asks, and 
Hinoka eagerly agrees.

As he does so, making sure to be extra gentle with her, she peacefully 
murmurs, "You always used to do this for me. Any time we came upon a 
hotspring..."

He isn't sure how to react to a statement like that, so he simply 
finishes brushing her and when that is done, he pets her for a while, 
amazed at the softness of her tails. While he idly pets her, Hinoka 
becomes unable to ignore her growing arousal. She has spent centuries 
without him and without any other man to fill the void, and he has been 
so kind to her despite her struggles in adjusting to his modern life, 
and even pampered her after. She can't help but invite him to have his 
way with her, raising up to support herself on her elbows and knees.

Her tails fan out as she murmurs, "Now, Kaze...aren't you going to have 
me? I noticed those paintings...there were so many girls who resembled 
me, weren't there? It's because, even if you don't remember our love, 
your soul still remembers me."

Her statement and her actions are a lot to take in, but Kaze is weak. No 
matter how farfetched her claims of reincarnation may seem to him, the 
fact remains that he has fantasized about this too many times. He would 
be absolutely insane to turn down an adorable loli- and a fox girl, no 
less!- offering herself to him. Or maybe he already is insane, and his 
loneliness this Valentine's Day has lead to him conjuring up this 
perfect hallucination. But, hallucination or not, he needs this, and he 
gets in position to fuck her, only for her to speak softly to him.

"Please be gentle," she says. "It's been hundreds of years since I was 
last penetrated. I never betrayed you, my love."

"Uh, right, so I should..." He pulls back, kneeling behind her so that 
he can first press his tongue inside of her. Without any proper 
experience with this, it is hard to tell if he is doing it right, but 
judging by the way she whimpers and moans, grinding back against his 
face for more, he thinks that he is doing just fine.

Perhaps too good, because, as he eats her out, Hinoka begs him to get on 
with things, saying, "You've teased me enough! Please, just take me 
already!" Eventually, her demands become too much for him to resist, and 
he is soon back in position, the tip of his cock pressed against her 
small pussy.

As he buries himself inside of her, he is amazed by how tight she is, 
nearly floored by the sensation of it all. Like this, it is hard to 
believe that she has ever done this before. He would have assumed that 
she was a virgin, had she not told him she wasn't, and he definitely 
finds it impossible to believe that she has really had several children, 
been with him in a past life, or anyone. There is simply no way that 
Hinoka is not a virgin.

But she takes him as if she has experience, crying out for him and 
pushing her tails back, wrapping them around his pelvis as she does. 
Some of her cries are easy to understand, as she begs for more or says 
his name, while others are more incoherent, and some are outright 
animalistic, more than proving her status as a kitsune. He is 
overwhelmed with desire for her, quickly losing himself in each thrust, 
desperate for more.

Together, it is not long before they have both lost themselves entirely, 
coming at the same time. For him, it is hardly his first orgasm, but 
there is something very different about finishing while buried inside of 
another, and for her, it is her first in so long that she had nearly 
forgotten what pleasure felt like. It is mindblowing for the both of 
them, and when they finally come to their senses, Kaze has moved so that 
they are laying on their sides, spooning up behind her.

"If I'm going to be honest," he says, once he has caught his breath, 
"I'm still not sure I believe you about being your dead husband. I don't 
know if you're mixed up or not telling the truth, or if I really just 
have some deep memories locked away. But...if you'll have me, I'm pretty 
sure I'd be able to love you just as much as Kaze the samurai did."

With that, he tilts her head back so that he can kiss her on the 
forehead. In response, Hinoka rolls him, getting on top of him as she 
says, "I can live with that!" She straddles him, and already, he can 
feel his cock stirring in response.

"I just hope you can live with this! I'm going to need you to make up 
for the centuries I had to go without, after all!" With that, she lowers 
herself onto him, wasting no time as she begins to bounce up and down on 
his cock.
