Description
I was just wandering into the village. It was late and the sun was beginning to set. As night fell on the village, the store owners began to close and lock up tight. Hm... It was closing hours already? I walked onward through the village, until I came upon a curious sight - a little half-pup whimpering at the side of a building. I can see his red hair, his brown ears and tail, and a black hakama was what he was wearing. I hear him mumble to himself...

"I wish I would have stayed in the woods...The trees were soft enough to sleep in. Here, everything's all hard and noisy..."

He sighed and pulled his knees to his chest, letting out a few whimpers as he closed his eyes, listening to the people around him passing by. There weren't many people around, and even if they passed him, they probably couldn't see him in this dim evening light.

I felt something... different.

It was an unsettling feeling, watching the little one here at this time of evening.

I felt bad leaving him alone.

I felt that I wanted to help this pup.

Is this what sympathy feels like?

I walked up to him from behind. He didn't seem to notice me, until I touched his shoulder. "What's the matter little pup? Are you lost?" I asked him. As he looked up at me, I saw he was distressed. It was in his eyes. His big, blue, timid eyes. He really didn't like this place; it was cold, hard and noisy. He looked up at me slowly, he seemed very shy and hesitated to speak, seeing as he couldn't see me though my cloak, only my gloved (sort of) hand reaching out to his shoulder.

"Y...Y...Yesh I..I am Miss" he muttered out, his shyness apparent as he stumbled on some of his words, a pause coming here and there in this sentences. "I.....I don't live anywhere..an..and now the sun's starting to set...And I can't find a place to sleep for the night." His sadness broke though his shyness for a moment - and from the sound of it, he seemed to have a strong dislike of the night.

I pet his hair trying to comfort him. I notice his brown ears, so clear against his red hair. They twitched a bit at my fingers. For a moment, I paused, not knowing what to say. I took his hand and got him to stand up. "It's okay, little one. I think I know a place where you can stay." Hearing my words, his ears stood up. He looked relieved but he became shy again as I held his hand.

"T....Thank you, Miss ..." He timidly responded, closing his eyes as he followed me, almost obediently as his tail seemed to happily swish behind him.

"You're welcome." I said to the pup as I continued holding his hand. He was actually quite small, but he was tall enough to hold onto my arm. I led him some distance away from the centre of the small village. I knew this place fairly well. It was one of the settlements outside the farmlands where I live. I was about to head home after finishing up on some... secret business, but maybe I'll leave after I find a place for the pup to stay - and I think I know where just to go.

Even as he had no idea where we were going, he was grateful that I helped him. I think he began to trust me... "By the way, little one... What is your name?" I ask him. HIs ears and tail sticking up as his cheeks went a bright shade of pink.

"O..Oh..m..my name, Miss? I..It's Yumes. It means 'dream'." He answered as a warm smile appeared on his face, looking up at me with his big eyes... His pink cheeks making his eyes light up at me. I couldn't stop looking!

Yumes... So that is his name...

"It's nice to meet you, Yumes. You can call me Nicola."

My real name is 666, and I've never used my true name for a reason; I have enemies, as well as followers always looking for me. I've kept myself hidden as I'm quite good at hiding, not to mention that these villages are the last place they would probably look. However, there have been recent attacks on the main road some distance from here. I hope they haven't seen me yet.

I tried to put these thoughts out of my mind for now. Fortunately, Yumes unknowingly helped out; I felt him lean closer to me, as a child would. His cheek against my side, staying close to me as his tail swished about. It seemed he was nervous of his unfamiliar surroundings. I felt bad lying to him, but for some reason, I thought he knew I was lying, but not the reason why...

Suddenly, I felt something else...

I didn't want to endanger Yumes.

I wanted to protect this innocent pup.

Innocent? I've gotten so used to killing in combat that I didn't consider what innocence was like...

I've heard things about parents and their children... Is this what they felt?

We were getting closer to our destination. A small, comfy looking inn sat outside the trees, and it was still open. I saw that the sun has completely disappeared into the horizon, the moon seemed to be waiting patiently behind the clouds. I felt Yumes pulling in closer to me. It looked  like the moon was making him uncomfortable, but he ignored that once he saw the inn.

"Pyuuu... T..There's an Inn miss Nicola!" He said giddily, nuzzling even closer to her as his tail wagged rapidly about. He uttered a curious sound  - a natural pup's sound, I guess. It was the first time I've heard that coming from him, not to mention he was now happy, since the first time he met me.

"That's right, Yumes! Let's go inside. They always have a room."

As we got closer to the inn, I heard a noise that made me tense. The sound of quiet, yet heavy footfalls, and the clattering of belts and metal... Weapons. My suspicions were confirmed, as I recognized those sounds anywhere. I quickly turn around, moving Yumes behind me. I see three familiar figures in the night light.

They are called Gagos. Short, stout minion-like things with ridiculously big eyebrows, dark red armor, advanced weapons, a low IQ and a terribly violent nature.  They pointed their weapons at me.

As I held the pup behind me, I whispered to him, "Listen, Yumes. Close your eyes and hold onto me tight. No matter what happens, don't open your eyes and don't let go." He did just that without a word of protest.

The minions were tensely pointing their weapons, which appeared to be guns. Hmm... Looks like they got the new models this time... Then, one of them spoke. "What's this? What are you doing with that scrawny kid behind you?!"

The second one spoke, "Honestly, you're getting weird, Mistress! First it was the fox, then that yellow tailed wolf, and now this little red pup?!"

I hear Yumes mumble to himself. .."M..Mistress? "

The third one mused, "I think Mistress is getting soft! What say we get rid of the kid, and take her back to the boss!"

They all chuckled in agreement and pointed their weapons right at my little pup.

I suddenly felt furious, and reached into my cloak.

I swiftly threw three daggers at once, one going into each minion's head. They collapsed and died instantly without a noise. I checked behind me. Yumes was still holding onto me, his eyes still closed. I picked him in my arms and tried to comfort him as I went towards the inn. I see Yumes whimpering, his face blushing a cute shade of ruby red. Was it my minions' "Mistress" remark?

As I entered the inn, I put him down. "Okay Yumes, we're safe. You can open your eyes now." The owner of the inn was minding his own business, completely unaware of the frightening confrontation that took place outside. He was a bit startled by my appearance, as he saw me in my cloak; it was red with black patterns as revealed by the light in the room. I take off the hood of my cloak, letting down my big, red hair. It's redness was almost the same as Yumes'! People would probably mistake him as my child... But then I'm only old enough to be something like his older sister...

"Oh, dear! It's only you, Nicola." Chuckled the elderly inn owner. "Would you like to take a room tonight?"

I heard a quiet "Pyuuuuu" coming from Yumes. I glanced at him for a moment, only to see he was mesmerized at my appearance. Oh boy, I think he's smitten with me already... I turned back to the inn owner.

"Room 6 as always, Bert." I took out a small bag of gold coins and place them on the table. "This 'ought to cover it. Come on, Yumes, let's go." I lead Yumes up the stairs and towards a door that had the number 6 on it. For some reason, it was always my favourite room. The inn doesn't have many customers so Bert lets me use that room anytime I wish. I open the door to the room. The decor of this room wasn't expensive, but it was okay for me. The bed was big, though!

I kneel down and turn to Yumes, my hands on his shoulders. "Now, I'll let you stay here for tonight, Yumes. I'll be heading out soon. Take care of yourself, okay."

I knew he was a shy one, but I had no idea he would react like this.

"B...But Miss Nicola....y...y..you leaving already?" The pups voice nearly broke, the sadness vastly apparent as a quiet whimper hid behind his words. "B...But I've only j...just met you...a..and you were so sweet to me...b..but....already you have to go?"

Oh dear, I think he's going to cry (Yep, he does). His tiny whimpering touched me in a way I never thought of. He tried to hold back his tears, but he couldn't hide it completely, his eyes watering as he laid his face against my chest, his arms wrapping around my sides, his fingers barely meeting on my back.

My heart sank at the thought of leaving him all alone here, especially after what happened today.

I guess that's what it also feels like to be a parent.

Perhaps I should stay.

As he held me, I wrap my arms around him and gave him a warm hug. I move back a bit and wipe the tears from his face. "Aww... It's okay, little pup. I don't have to go now, if you really don't want me to." I pick him up in my arms again, holding him like a small child and bring him into my room. I go towards the bed and I lay down on my side onto the bed, with him still in my embrace. "How about I stay here? You can sleep here with me for the night, okay?" His tears dried up and be began to nuzzle me as we lay on the bed.

"Thank you miss Nicola-samas ." He answered quietly, snuggling closer as his tail swished away. "Y...You're an amazing friend..."He smiled then, his ears twitching a bit as he snuggled closer then, giggling. It seemed he thought of something... "B..But you can't sleep in that though, Miss!"

I smile as Yumes blushed - but then he reminded me of my cloak! Oops! He was right. I forgot to take off my cloak! "Ah! Silly me. Hold on Yumes..." I slowly let him out of my arms and I slip out of my cloak. There's a reason why I always wear my cloak...

Almost instantly, a thick blush came over the pup. His shyness kicked in again. His ears followed suit by falling back and his tail swayed slowly behind him. "Y...Y....You look amazing, M..Miss Nicola." He said almost unconsciously, thus causing him to flush a thicker shade of red.

I barely wear anything! Aside from my red and black gloves and stirrups and grey boots, I wear nothing else. My tan body is actually covered by elaborate black markings (including my eyes) which conveniently cover my naughty bits... I keep a consistently healthy and toned figure; I do my exercises almost daily, and my farm home has plenty of healthy food!

I was a little nervous, showing my body to someone - especially a boy like Yumes!

"Oh!... Hehee, Thank you Yumes", I giggled nervously as I put down my cloak. My goodness, the blush on his face was as red as my hair! I mean, I've seduced my fair share of guys before, but now I feel more awkward in front of this young pup, seeing as he finds me beautiful...

At that point, I decide to remove my boots (my feet are killing me now!), then I glanced at Yumes. He was practically frozen in place! My thoughts trailed to a few months back. Remember what the minions mentioned? The fox? The wolf? I had met those two before; they had something in common, and I have a feeling that this little pup may have that too.

I might as well try it. I slowly slip off my boots (I'm still wearing my stirrups mind you; they're flexible, so I can stretch it a bit to remove my boots only), and I let out a long, relaxed sigh, as my tan feet came into view. I flexed my feet and toes, and checked on Yumes to see his reaction. He blushed even more, his ears falling back and his tail rapidly wagging. It seemed he wanted to say something, but was still insecure of how I would react, so he just kept looking as I let my feet down.

The lamps in the room were the only light source, but I could clearly see that despite his efforts to resist, Yumes was definitely looking at my feet. His tail was moving a little faster as I flexed my toes. I can feel his eyes staring at my feet, especially my toes...

I'll do this slowly, seeing as how shy Yumes is. I stretched out a bit on the bed, and I flexed my feet - directing my soles right at Yumes! I hope he can handle this little tease. But you should know, I was testing him... I yawned, moving my feet to the end of the bed. Reclining, I tapped a spot in front of me, calling to Yumes so he can lie there, "Come on, Yumes. You can sleep here with me." I see him quickly shake his head, as if he was shaking off a trance. It did look like he as fixated on my feet again - and he did stare for a little while!

Yumes lay down in front of me, blushing as he usually would as he laid his head beside mine, cuddling next to me as I see his tail swish over the side of the bed. "U...U..Umm...M...Miss N..Nicola...." He said sheepishly. I can tell he was still staring at my feet, his ears twitching. He was still a bit nervous speaking to me, so I smiled at Yumes, moving my hand around his head, scratching his twitching ears. He suddenly fell limp, making more cute noises. It seems I've discovered a kind of... puppy spot. I could hardly tell he was limp since we were on the bed, so I wrap my arms around him, giving him a cuddle.

Yumes continued, "T.....T..Thank you s..so much for helping m...me out today.....I...It means so...so much t..to me....I...I wish I could repay the favor..."

He nuzzled closer to me again as his tail swished, his cheeks pressed against me. But now he suggested that he repay me...

"You are most welcome, little Yumes. So you wish to repay me?"

It was then I decided to put him to the test.

"Well, what would you like to do for me? Don't be shy, you can tell me anything."

Yumes blushed again and gulped hard. Let's see if this proves it...

"W...W..Well...m...m...m...ma...may...may.." He shook his head then, noticing that he was stammering and pausing far too much. "M..May I pway with your fe...fe..feet some, then? "
His big blue eyes sparkling at me against his crimson cheeks. "A...A..A lot of g..girls I have met in the past s...say it's very relaxing when I play with their feet, Miss Nicola."

Well, that definitely settles it; the cute little pup likes my feet!

"Oh, so you want to play with my lovely feet, do you?" I ask Yumes. I looked down at my feet, wiggling my toes. Although I've had others play, or even worship my feet a number of times before, I've never had someone as innocent as Yumes play with my feet before - and I had no idea of how he was going to do this. I giggle at him upon looking at his eyes, nearly glistening with anticipation. I sup back up on the bed, with Yumes still in my arms. I set him down in front of me. "Well, okay. You can do whatever you like with my feet, Yumes."  I place my feet in his lap.

I can only guess how this pup would feel upon getting a full view of my soles - although I still had my stirrups on...

His tail began to rapidly wag back and forth, and I see his ears twitch a little... His eyes explored every curve, every wrinkle of my feet. His hands moved towards them, as if they had a mind of its own. I feel them laid on my arches, the pup cutely whispering, "Thank you miss Nicola-samas." He leaned forward a bit, He looked so cute as I felt his nose nuzzling my toes. In response, I teased his nose with my toes, rubbing it with the tips.

"Ooohh... Oh my, Yumes, that does feel good..." Yumes started with a sweet foot massage. My thoughts turned to my memories: the times when I met those who had similar tastes for my feet - although they weren't as shy and were rather quick to worship my feet - I particularly loved having my feet wet from being licked... His hands were so delicate in their rubbing, I felt myself drift to sleep - but I wanted to watch Yumes do as he wished with my feet, to see what else he wanted to do.

I see him blush quite a lot now... But then I catch a glimpse of a cheeky smile on Yumes' face...

Before I could figure it out - he already started!

"C....Cootchi-cootchi-coos Miss Nicola-samas! "

There was a smirk on Yumes face as his fingers skitter up and down my arches. "Ahh...Ahhahahaha!! Aagh! Yumes, what are you doing?" My relaxed sighs suddenly turned to surprised laughs. I should have mentioned that my feet are a bit ticklish... However, my laughs quickly subside to (poorly) restrained giggles, as his fingers play with my soles, my toes scrunching in front of him. His fingers were as delicate as his rubbing, so you can imagine how that felt!

I grasp the bed hard with my hands and try my best not to move too much - I didn't want to shove him off the bed with my feet! Besides, I said he could do whatever he wanted with my feet so I just sat back and let him play with my soles... Until I made a rather sudden move: my feet briefly pulled back, his hands still following along, his fingers dancing along my soles - and quickly made their way to Yumes' face, softly landing on his lips.

As my foot pressed against his face, the pup froze for a few seconds as I see him blush even more. His hands fall to the sides of my soles, holding and rubbing it gently. His eyes closed... His tail swished back and forth... And after a few moments of my feet in his face, I felt a warm, familiar sensation.

"Oohhh... Mmm.. Oh, Yumes, that feels really nice..."

It was just what I was waiting for... His tongue was a little rough, but once again, he was as delicate as his hands. He was licking so slowly, I laid back on the bed, placing my hands at the back of my head and watched little Yumes lick to his heart's content. I flexed my toes, feeling his hair brush along them as he continued licking my soles.

"I knew it, Yumes. You love my feet, don't you?"

He timidly nodded.

"Mmmm... How do my feet taste?" I ask him - a quiet moan escaping my mouth.

He stopped licking, but only for a moment as he answered, ..."Y....Y...Yesh..Miss I...I do love feet...a...an..and... and the taste is amazing!"

I begin to moan louder as be licks over and over on my soles (he was doing a really good job!). Yumes cheeks reddened, encouraging him to lick even more - but I suddenly stopped my moaning, covering my mouth with my hand; I didn't want to go that far with such a pure hearted boy like him! He shyly looked over to me, I was a little embarrassed, but then he mumbled, "Y.....Y...You d...d..don't have t..to hold it in, Miss Nicola...I.....I don't mind at all..." With those words, he leaned forward again, closing his eyes as he licked under my toes.

It was driving me wild! It felt so good, with his warm and sensitive tongue teasing my toes. Letting go of my hesitation for a bit, I uncover my mouth and my moans became a bit louder - and more sensual. I felt his ears twitching at my feet - I guess he's hearing them rather clearly. I've only experienced having my feet licked for a short time up to now, but I quickly discovered that I loved it, and it can even bring me to... Well, here's what happened next.

My hands moved slowly, caressing my own body; first my belly, then my legs - and finally, my hands made my way to my breasts, lightly squeezing and caressing them. At this point, the dark markings on my body would disappear at my command, but for little, innocent Yumes (who may not be as innocent as I thought), I decided to keep myself covered during this rather slow moment of pleasure. I peeked at Yumes, who was watching me touch myself with shy embarrassment, but then he returned to licking my feet.

"Oh, Yumes... How long are you going to lick my feet for? I think they're getting wet..."

Yumes stopped again for a moment, and quietly replied, "W...W..Well...w...whenever y...you w..want me to miss.. B...Because...because I..I don't want to stop for a while." He then stuck his tongue between two of my toes. Licking the (likely) delicious and soft skin, his hands kneading my soles as he licked. "Mmmmmmms..."

I guess the sight of me touching myself was a bit too much for the pup to see, so I stopped and let him continue licking my feet. He really was that innocent, no way I'd want to spoil that. And then I answered his response with a smile and a giggle: "Is that so? Well, can you lick my feet until they are really wet? I'd love for you to do that."

O..O...Of course miss! I....I'll even lick them longer if you'd like!" He said joyfully, his tail showing his excitement as he cutely nuzzled my feet. But before I let him continue, I sat up, my feet still in his hands (and on his mouth), and gave him a reassuring cuddle. "Um, Yumes, I'm sorry you had to see me doing that. I won't do that anymore if you don't want me to, okay?"

Suddenly, he looked down a bit at my heels, his ears twitching a bit. "I...I...I... I...I don't m....mind Miss N...Nicola....s..samas " He answered then his tail giving a little swish behind him as he nuzzled my arches. He then shyly nuzzled my toes, closing his eyes as he opened his mouth, and lightly nibbled my toes. I stared at him for a second, slightly nervous as to how far I'll take this; I should mention, that the last few times I've had my feet licked like this, it often led to rather naughty situations, and I'm still not sure if he's okay with this.

"Hmm... Okay, Yumes, if you insist... And sure, you may lick my feet a lot longer, heehee!"

Although I'm still uncertain of this, one thing's for sure - Yumes is going to see a lot of new... experiences tonight.

I slowly fall back onto the bed, continuing to sigh and moan with pleasure as he shyly nibbled my toes. Without hesitating, I continue touching and squeezing my breasts as he continued worshiping my feet. I think I lost myself in the moment, as the dark markings on my body slowly shrink away, fully revealing my breasts. I fondle my nipples with one hand and moan again, occasionally checking on Yumes, to see if he was watching. Sure enough, he got curious.

"Mmmm... Ah... Ooooh... Yumes? Got curious, hm?" I caught him glimpsing at my nude figure as I continued touching myself. His dark blush returned to his face, and he stared for a little while. I keep my crotch area covered by my other hand, though. I feel his fingers massaging my feet, his now warm tongue snaking between my toes as he nibbled.

"Pyuuuuuuuu..." His cute noise is uttered once again.

I really hope he's okay with this. So young, and yet so curious. If he keeps going like this, my feet aren't going to be the only thing that's wet...

His tongue wrapping around my toes really got me going - and I finally lost all inhibition. Without warning, I started rubbing my crotch with my fingers, and my sighs and moans got a little louder.

My self-fondling got steadily heavier as his fingers rubbed against my feet. "Ahh.. Aaahh.. Oh, Yumes... Go on, lick my soles again... Lick them until... Ohh... they are soaking wet! Mmmm..."

It was then I caught a hint of Yumes'... other nature.

Shyly he blushed nodded and said..."Yesh, Mistress..."

Mistress? It seemed that he has a curiously submissive nature. I mean, sure I sternly led my own minions in battle - but I wasn't much of a dominating type, despite their insistence of calling me "Mistress"... I was about to say something, but I was interrupted by Yumes' lavishly thorough licking, making my self-fondling even more intense! He slowly licked up and down my right arch. His tongue travelled up my entire right foot up to my toes.

His way of worshiping my feet was very different this time. He really did think I was his Mistress...

My soles were becoming a little more wet as he obediently licked my foot. (I guess he didn't mind the stirrups...). I gasped in pleasure as he licked back down my soles from my toes. Finally, I caught my breath, and got to talk to Yumes. "Mistress? Oh my, Yumes... You don't have to call me that... I can already tell you're in love with me and my feet, so why don't you do what comes to you naturally?" I sighed in relaxation again as he continued licking, I sure hope he's listening... "I mean, I love that you're licking my feet, but you could be doing so much more. If it's okay, Yumes, tell me... What do you really want to do with my feet?"

He answered timidly as he looked up at my toes. "W...W...Well Mistres - I...I..I mean Nicola-samas.....I....I.......I do love tickling a..and...one other thing t..that I haven't tried yet." His eyes locked on my toes as he sat at my feet. "A...A..And the other thing is.....is..." He looked too shy to say it - perhaps he wanted to show me instead... For a moment I thought he would go back to nibbling my toes, his hands moving to my arches, massaging them again.

"Pyuuuu..."

"What are you doing now Yume-- Aaaahhh! Ooh.... Oh, my... That feels wonderful!" He was sucking my toes - I also love that, second only to having my soles licked wet. He sucked my toes rather gently, but given that my feet were recently wet from being licked before, it felt so slippery in his mouth. I wiggled the toes in his mouth, and that made him suck even harder! I moaned a little louder...

Since Yumes was rather small compared to me, he couldn't get all of my toes in his mouth, so while I was massively aroused, I stared at my other toes  - and I just went for it! I was pretty limber and flexible, leaning towards Yumes (who still had some of my toes in his mouth) and slipping in the remaining toes in my mouth. I instantly moaned in my mouth as I tasted my foot. Oh my... I've never tasted my own feet before - and now I can see why he was licking them for so long! He was right... The taste of my feet was amazing! I kept moaning with my toes in my mouth. I flexed my foot, I was flexible enough for my tongue to reach my soles and I lapped at my own soles. My eyes were closed, intoxicated at the taste of my feet.

Then I felt something teasing at my other arch... It was Yumes' finger, curiously wiggling up my arch. I giggled a bit, my mouth muffled by my toes.

"Hmhmhm!" I briefly slipped my toes out of my mouth. "Hehehee! " My laughter... He must really like it, as it spurred him to tickle my feet even more!

"Oh Yumes..." I decided to give the pup a little reward for this amazing time I'm having. I reached my head out and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. It stopped his tickling for a moment, though the both of us were holding my wet feet. I see his head heating up as he put his hand where I kissed. I see his soft sparkling blue eyes again...

"Pyuuuuu..." He squeaked, wagging his tail.

I'm getting a little tired now. I think we should finish up for the night, but first... I gave another kiss on the his forehead. "Thank you so much, Yumes. I had a great time with you." I pet his hair again. "But I think we should finish up for now. It's getting kinda late..."

"O....O..Okays, Miss...I..I understand. " He said cutely, closing his eyes as I kissed his forehead. Suddenly, as knowing our playtime was finished, the pup lifted his arms up at me (he looked so adorable when he did that!), waiting to be picked up, his tail swishing slowly behind him.

"I...I'm ready for bed, Miss Nicola-S...Samas."

"Okay, little one. Let's go sleep now..." I picked him up, and prepared to lay down onto the bed. He then opened his mouth and let out a tired yawn. I giggled hearing his voice squeaking as his yawn reached its peak. "Oops, hold on a moment..." The dark markings that had once disappeared from my body returned to their respective places, covering up my body as it was before. I took a seat on the bed, still cuddling Yumes in my arms.

As I lay down on the bed and covering ourselves with the blanket,  put my head on the soft pillow. I feel him blushing heavily, the pup nuzzling close to me, rubbing his cheek against my neck. he must have enjoyed the feeling of my body - as he was using my body as a pillow!

"Good night, Yumes..." I pet his head as I closed my eyes.

"G.....Good night, Nicola-Samas."

Description
I was just wandering into the village. It was late and the sun was beginning to set. As night fell on the village, the store owners began to close and lock up tight. Hm... It was closing hours already? I walked onward through the village, until I came upon a curious sight - a little half-pup whimpering at the side of a building. I can see his red hair, his brown ears and tail, and a black hakama was what he was wearing. I hear him mumble to himself...

"I wish I would have stayed in the woods...The trees were soft enough to sleep in. Here, everything's all hard and noisy..."

He sighed and pulled his knees to his chest, letting out a few whimpers as he closed his eyes, listening to the people around him passing by. There weren't many people around, and even if they passed him, they probably couldn't see him in this dim evening light.

I felt something... different.

It was an unsettling feeling, watching the little one here at this time of evening.

I felt bad leaving him alone.

I felt that I wanted to help this pup.

Is this what sympathy feels like?

I walked up to him from behind. He didn't seem to notice me, until I touched his shoulder. "What's the matter little pup? Are you lost?" I asked him. As he looked up at me, I saw he was distressed. It was in his eyes. His big, blue, timid eyes. He really didn't like this place; it was cold, hard and noisy. He looked up at me slowly, he seemed very shy and hesitated to speak, seeing as he couldn't see me though my cloak, only my gloved (sort of) hand reaching out to his shoulder.

"Y...Y...Yesh I..I am Miss" he muttered out, his shyness apparent as he stumbled on some of his words, a pause coming here and there in this sentences. "I.....I don't live anywhere..an..and now the sun's starting to set...And I can't find a place to sleep for the night." His sadness broke though his shyness for a moment - and from the sound of it, he seemed to have a strong dislike of the night.

I pet his hair trying to comfort him. I notice his brown ears, so clear against his red hair. They twitched a bit at my fingers. For a moment, I paused, not knowing what to say. I took his hand and got him to stand up. "It's okay, little one. I think I know a place where you can stay." Hearing my words, his ears stood up. He looked relieved but he became shy again as I held his hand.

"T....Thank you, Miss ..." He timidly responded, closing his eyes as he followed me, almost obediently as his tail seemed to happily swish behind him.

"You're welcome." I said to the pup as I continued holding his hand. He was actually quite small, but he was tall enough to hold onto my arm. I led him some distance away from the centre of the small village. I knew this place fairly well. It was one of the settlements outside the farmlands where I live. I was about to head home after finishing up on some... secret business, but maybe I'll leave after I find a place for the pup to stay - and I think I know where just to go.

Even as he had no idea where we were going, he was grateful that I helped him. I think he began to trust me... "By the way, little one... What is your name?" I ask him. HIs ears and tail sticking up as his cheeks went a bright shade of pink.

"O..Oh..m..my name, Miss? I..It's Yumes. It means 'dream'." He answered as a warm smile appeared on his face, looking up at me with his big eyes... His pink cheeks making his eyes light up at me. I couldn't stop looking!

Yumes... So that is his name...

"It's nice to meet you, Yumes. You can call me Nicola."

My real name is 666, and I've never used my true name for a reason; I have enemies, as well as followers always looking for me. I've kept myself hidden as I'm quite good at hiding, not to mention that these villages are the last place they would probably look. However, there have been recent attacks on the main road some distance from here. I hope they haven't seen me yet.

I tried to put these thoughts out of my mind for now. Fortunately, Yumes unknowingly helped out; I felt him lean closer to me, as a child would. His cheek against my side, staying close to me as his tail swished about. It seemed he was nervous of his unfamiliar surroundings. I felt bad lying to him, but for some reason, I thought he knew I was lying, but not the reason why...

Suddenly, I felt something else...

I didn't want to endanger Yumes.

I wanted to protect this innocent pup.

Innocent? I've gotten so used to killing in combat that I didn't consider what innocence was like...

I've heard things about parents and their children... Is this what they felt?

We were getting closer to our destination. A small, comfy looking inn sat outside the trees, and it was still open. I saw that the sun has completely disappeared into the horizon, the moon seemed to be waiting patiently behind the clouds. I felt Yumes pulling in closer to me. It looked  like the moon was making him uncomfortable, but he ignored that once he saw the inn.

"Pyuuu... T..There's an Inn miss Nicola!" He said giddily, nuzzling even closer to her as his tail wagged rapidly about. He uttered a curious sound  - a natural pup's sound, I guess. It was the first time I've heard that coming from him, not to mention he was now happy, since the first time he met me.

"That's right, Yumes! Let's go inside. They always have a room."

As we got closer to the inn, I heard a noise that made me tense. The sound of quiet, yet heavy footfalls, and the clattering of belts and metal... Weapons. My suspicions were confirmed, as I recognized those sounds anywhere. I quickly turn around, moving Yumes behind me. I see three familiar figures in the night light.

They are called Gagos. Short, stout minion-like things with ridiculously big eyebrows, dark red armor, advanced weapons, a low IQ and a terribly violent nature.  They pointed their weapons at me.

As I held the pup behind me, I whispered to him, "Listen, Yumes. Close your eyes and hold onto me tight. No matter what happens, don't open your eyes and don't let go." He did just that without a word of protest.

The minions were tensely pointing their weapons, which appeared to be guns. Hmm... Looks like they got the new models this time... Then, one of them spoke. "What's this? What are you doing with that scrawny kid behind you?!"

The second one spoke, "Honestly, you're getting weird, Mistress! First it was the fox, then that yellow tailed wolf, and now this little red pup?!"

I hear Yumes mumble to himself. .."M..Mistress? "

The third one mused, "I think Mistress is getting soft! What say we get rid of the kid, and take her back to the boss!"

They all chuckled in agreement and pointed their weapons right at my little pup.

I suddenly felt furious, and reached into my cloak.

I swiftly threw three daggers at once, one going into each minion's head. They collapsed and died instantly without a noise. I checked behind me. Yumes was still holding onto me, his eyes still closed. I picked him in my arms and tried to comfort him as I went towards the inn. I see Yumes whimpering, his face blushing a cute shade of ruby red. Was it my minions' "Mistress" remark?

As I entered the inn, I put him down. "Okay Yumes, we're safe. You can open your eyes now." The owner of the inn was minding his own business, completely unaware of the frightening confrontation that took place outside. He was a bit startled by my appearance, as he saw me in my cloak; it was red with black patterns as revealed by the light in the room. I take off the hood of my cloak, letting down my big, red hair. It's redness was almost the same as Yumes'! People would probably mistake him as my child... But then I'm only old enough to be something like his older sister...

"Oh, dear! It's only you, Nicola." Chuckled the elderly inn owner. "Would you like to take a room tonight?"

I heard a quiet "Pyuuuuu" coming from Yumes. I glanced at him for a moment, only to see he was mesmerized at my appearance. Oh boy, I think he's smitten with me already... I turned back to the inn owner.

"Room 6 as always, Bert." I took out a small bag of gold coins and place them on the table. "This 'ought to cover it. Come on, Yumes, let's go." I lead Yumes up the stairs and towards a door that had the number 6 on it. For some reason, it was always my favourite room. The inn doesn't have many customers so Bert lets me use that room anytime I wish. I open the door to the room. The decor of this room wasn't expensive, but it was okay for me. The bed was big, though!

I kneel down and turn to Yumes, my hands on his shoulders. "Now, I'll let you stay here for tonight, Yumes. I'll be heading out soon. Take care of yourself, okay."

I knew he was a shy one, but I had no idea he would react like this.

"B...But Miss Nicola....y...y..you leaving already?" The pups voice nearly broke, the sadness vastly apparent as a quiet whimper hid behind his words. "B...But I've only j...just met you...a..and you were so sweet to me...b..but....already you have to go?"

Oh dear, I think he's going to cry (Yep, he does). His tiny whimpering touched me in a way I never thought of. He tried to hold back his tears, but he couldn't hide it completely, his eyes watering as he laid his face against my chest, his arms wrapping around my sides, his fingers barely meeting on my back.

My heart sank at the thought of leaving him all alone here, especially after what happened today.

I guess that's what it also feels like to be a parent.

Perhaps I should stay.

As he held me, I wrap my arms around him and gave him a warm hug. I move back a bit and wipe the tears from his face. "Aww... It's okay, little pup. I don't have to go now, if you really don't want me to." I pick him up in my arms again, holding him like a small child and bring him into my room. I go towards the bed and I lay down on my side onto the bed, with him still in my embrace. "How about I stay here? You can sleep here with me for the night, okay?" His tears dried up and be began to nuzzle me as we lay on the bed.

"Thank you miss Nicola-samas ." He answered quietly, snuggling closer as his tail swished away. "Y...You're an amazing friend..."He smiled then, his ears twitching a bit as he snuggled closer then, giggling. It seemed he thought of something... "B..But you can't sleep in that though, Miss!"

I smile as Yumes blushed - but then he reminded me of my cloak! Oops! He was right. I forgot to take off my cloak! "Ah! Silly me. Hold on Yumes..." I slowly let him out of my arms and I slip out of my cloak. There's a reason why I always wear my cloak...

Almost instantly, a thick blush came over the pup. His shyness kicked in again. His ears followed suit by falling back and his tail swayed slowly behind him. "Y...Y....You look amazing, M..Miss Nicola." He said almost unconsciously, thus causing him to flush a thicker shade of red.

I barely wear anything! Aside from my red and black gloves and stirrups and grey boots, I wear nothing else. My tan body is actually covered by elaborate black markings (including my eyes) which conveniently cover my naughty bits... I keep a consistently healthy and toned figure; I do my exercises almost daily, and my farm home has plenty of healthy food!

I was a little nervous, showing my body to someone - especially a boy like Yumes!

"Oh!... Hehee, Thank you Yumes", I giggled nervously as I put down my cloak. My goodness, the blush on his face was as red as my hair! I mean, I've seduced my fair share of guys before, but now I feel more awkward in front of this young pup, seeing as he finds me beautiful...

At that point, I decide to remove my boots (my feet are killing me now!), then I glanced at Yumes. He was practically frozen in place! My thoughts trailed to a few months back. Remember what the minions mentioned? The fox? The wolf? I had met those two before; they had something in common, and I have a feeling that this little pup may have that too.

I might as well try it. I slowly slip off my boots (I'm still wearing my stirrups mind you; they're flexible, so I can stretch it a bit to remove my boots only), and I let out a long, relaxed sigh, as my tan feet came into view. I flexed my feet and toes, and checked on Yumes to see his reaction. He blushed even more, his ears falling back and his tail rapidly wagging. It seemed he wanted to say something, but was still insecure of how I would react, so he just kept looking as I let my feet down.

The lamps in the room were the only light source, but I could clearly see that despite his efforts to resist, Yumes was definitely looking at my feet. His tail was moving a little faster as I flexed my toes. I can feel his eyes staring at my feet, especially my toes...

I'll do this slowly, seeing as how shy Yumes is. I stretched out a bit on the bed, and I flexed my feet - directing my soles right at Yumes! I hope he can handle this little tease. But you should know, I was testing him... I yawned, moving my feet to the end of the bed. Reclining, I tapped a spot in front of me, calling to Yumes so he can lie there, "Come on, Yumes. You can sleep here with me." I see him quickly shake his head, as if he was shaking off a trance. It did look like he as fixated on my feet again - and he did stare for a little while!

Yumes lay down in front of me, blushing as he usually would as he laid his head beside mine, cuddling next to me as I see his tail swish over the side of the bed. "U...U..Umm...M...Miss N..Nicola...." He said sheepishly. I can tell he was still staring at my feet, his ears twitching. He was still a bit nervous speaking to me, so I smiled at Yumes, moving my hand around his head, scratching his twitching ears. He suddenly fell limp, making more cute noises. It seems I've discovered a kind of... puppy spot. I could hardly tell he was limp since we were on the bed, so I wrap my arms around him, giving him a cuddle.

Yumes continued, "T.....T..Thank you s..so much for helping m...me out today.....I...It means so...so much t..to me....I...I wish I could repay the favor..."

He nuzzled closer to me again as his tail swished, his cheeks pressed against me. But now he suggested that he repay me...

"You are most welcome, little Yumes. So you wish to repay me?"

It was then I decided to put him to the test.

"Well, what would you like to do for me? Don't be shy, you can tell me anything."

Yumes blushed again and gulped hard. Let's see if this proves it...

"W...W..Well...m...m...m...ma...may...may.." He shook his head then, noticing that he was stammering and pausing far too much. "M..May I pway with your fe...fe..feet some, then? "
His big blue eyes sparkling at me against his crimson cheeks. "A...A..A lot of g..girls I have met in the past s...say it's very relaxing when I play with their feet, Miss Nicola."

Well, that definitely settles it; the cute little pup likes my feet!

"Oh, so you want to play with my lovely feet, do you?" I ask Yumes. I looked down at my feet, wiggling my toes. Although I've had others play, or even worship my feet a number of times before, I've never had someone as innocent as Yumes play with my feet before - and I had no idea of how he was going to do this. I giggle at him upon looking at his eyes, nearly glistening with anticipation. I sup back up on the bed, with Yumes still in my arms. I set him down in front of me. "Well, okay. You can do whatever you like with my feet, Yumes."  I place my feet in his lap.

I can only guess how this pup would feel upon getting a full view of my soles - although I still had my stirrups on...

His tail began to rapidly wag back and forth, and I see his ears twitch a little... His eyes explored every curve, every wrinkle of my feet. His hands moved towards them, as if they had a mind of its own. I feel them laid on my arches, the pup cutely whispering, "Thank you miss Nicola-samas." He leaned forward a bit, He looked so cute as I felt his nose nuzzling my toes. In response, I teased his nose with my toes, rubbing it with the tips.

"Ooohh... Oh my, Yumes, that does feel good..." Yumes started with a sweet foot massage. My thoughts turned to my memories: the times when I met those who had similar tastes for my feet - although they weren't as shy and were rather quick to worship my feet - I particularly loved having my feet wet from being licked... His hands were so delicate in their rubbing, I felt myself drift to sleep - but I wanted to watch Yumes do as he wished with my feet, to see what else he wanted to do.

I see him blush quite a lot now... But then I catch a glimpse of a cheeky smile on Yumes' face...

Before I could figure it out - he already started!

"C....Cootchi-cootchi-coos Miss Nicola-samas! "

There was a smirk on Yumes face as his fingers skitter up and down my arches. "Ahh...Ahhahahaha!! Aagh! Yumes, what are you doing?" My relaxed sighs suddenly turned to surprised laughs. I should have mentioned that my feet are a bit ticklish... However, my laughs quickly subside to (poorly) restrained giggles, as his fingers play with my soles, my toes scrunching in front of him. His fingers were as delicate as his rubbing, so you can imagine how that felt!

I grasp the bed hard with my hands and try my best not to move too much - I didn't want to shove him off the bed with my feet! Besides, I said he could do whatever he wanted with my feet so I just sat back and let him play with my soles... Until I made a rather sudden move: my feet briefly pulled back, his hands still following along, his fingers dancing along my soles - and quickly made their way to Yumes' face, softly landing on his lips.

As my foot pressed against his face, the pup froze for a few seconds as I see him blush even more. His hands fall to the sides of my soles, holding and rubbing it gently. His eyes closed... His tail swished back and forth... And after a few moments of my feet in his face, I felt a warm, familiar sensation.

"Oohhh... Mmm.. Oh, Yumes, that feels really nice..."

It was just what I was waiting for... His tongue was a little rough, but once again, he was as delicate as his hands. He was licking so slowly, I laid back on the bed, placing my hands at the back of my head and watched little Yumes lick to his heart's content. I flexed my toes, feeling his hair brush along them as he continued licking my soles.

"I knew it, Yumes. You love my feet, don't you?"

He timidly nodded.

"Mmmm... How do my feet taste?" I ask him - a quiet moan escaping my mouth.

He stopped licking, but only for a moment as he answered, ..."Y....Y...Yesh..Miss I...I do love feet...a...an..and... and the taste is amazing!"

I begin to moan louder as be licks over and over on my soles (he was doing a really good job!). Yumes cheeks reddened, encouraging him to lick even more - but I suddenly stopped my moaning, covering my mouth with my hand; I didn't want to go that far with such a pure hearted boy like him! He shyly looked over to me, I was a little embarrassed, but then he mumbled, "Y.....Y...You d...d..don't have t..to hold it in, Miss Nicola...I.....I don't mind at all..." With those words, he leaned forward again, closing his eyes as he licked under my toes.

It was driving me wild! It felt so good, with his warm and sensitive tongue teasing my toes. Letting go of my hesitation for a bit, I uncover my mouth and my moans became a bit louder - and more sensual. I felt his ears twitching at my feet - I guess he's hearing them rather clearly. I've only experienced having my feet licked for a short time up to now, but I quickly discovered that I loved it, and it can even bring me to... Well, here's what happened next.

My hands moved slowly, caressing my own body; first my belly, then my legs - and finally, my hands made my way to my breasts, lightly squeezing and caressing them. At this point, the dark markings on my body would disappear at my command, but for little, innocent Yumes (who may not be as innocent as I thought), I decided to keep myself covered during this rather slow moment of pleasure. I peeked at Yumes, who was watching me touch myself with shy embarrassment, but then he returned to licking my feet.

"Oh, Yumes... How long are you going to lick my feet for? I think they're getting wet..."

Yumes stopped again for a moment, and quietly replied, "W...W..Well...w...whenever y...you w..want me to miss.. B...Because...because I..I don't want to stop for a while." He then stuck his tongue between two of my toes. Licking the (likely) delicious and soft skin, his hands kneading my soles as he licked. "Mmmmmmms..."

I guess the sight of me touching myself was a bit too much for the pup to see, so I stopped and let him continue licking my feet. He really was that innocent, no way I'd want to spoil that. And then I answered his response with a smile and a giggle: "Is that so? Well, can you lick my feet until they are really wet? I'd love for you to do that."

O..O...Of course miss! I....I'll even lick them longer if you'd like!" He said joyfully, his tail showing his excitement as he cutely nuzzled my feet. But before I let him continue, I sat up, my feet still in his hands (and on his mouth), and gave him a reassuring cuddle. "Um, Yumes, I'm sorry you had to see me doing that. I won't do that anymore if you don't want me to, okay?"

Suddenly, he looked down a bit at my heels, his ears twitching a bit. "I...I...I... I...I don't m....mind Miss N...Nicola....s..samas " He answered then his tail giving a little swish behind him as he nuzzled my arches. He then shyly nuzzled my toes, closing his eyes as he opened his mouth, and lightly nibbled my toes. I stared at him for a second, slightly nervous as to how far I'll take this; I should mention, that the last few times I've had my feet licked like this, it often led to rather naughty situations, and I'm still not sure if he's okay with this.

"Hmm... Okay, Yumes, if you insist... And sure, you may lick my feet a lot longer, heehee!"

Although I'm still uncertain of this, one thing's for sure - Yumes is going to see a lot of new... experiences tonight.

I slowly fall back onto the bed, continuing to sigh and moan with pleasure as he shyly nibbled my toes. Without hesitating, I continue touching and squeezing my breasts as he continued worshiping my feet. I think I lost myself in the moment, as the dark markings on my body slowly shrink away, fully revealing my breasts. I fondle my nipples with one hand and moan again, occasionally checking on Yumes, to see if he was watching. Sure enough, he got curious.

"Mmmm... Ah... Ooooh... Yumes? Got curious, hm?" I caught him glimpsing at my nude figure as I continued touching myself. His dark blush returned to his face, and he stared for a little while. I keep my crotch area covered by my other hand, though. I feel his fingers massaging my feet, his now warm tongue snaking between my toes as he nibbled.

"Pyuuuuuuuu..." His cute noise is uttered once again.

I really hope he's okay with this. So young, and yet so curious. If he keeps going like this, my feet aren't going to be the only thing that's wet...

His tongue wrapping around my toes really got me going - and I finally lost all inhibition. Without warning, I started rubbing my crotch with my fingers, and my sighs and moans got a little louder.

My self-fondling got steadily heavier as his fingers rubbed against my feet. "Ahh.. Aaahh.. Oh, Yumes... Go on, lick my soles again... Lick them until... Ohh... they are soaking wet! Mmmm..."

It was then I caught a hint of Yumes'... other nature.

Shyly he blushed nodded and said..."Yesh, Mistress..."

Mistress? It seemed that he has a curiously submissive nature. I mean, sure I sternly led my own minions in battle - but I wasn't much of a dominating type, despite their insistence of calling me "Mistress"... I was about to say something, but I was interrupted by Yumes' lavishly thorough licking, making my self-fondling even more intense! He slowly licked up and down my right arch. His tongue travelled up my entire right foot up to my toes.

His way of worshiping my feet was very different this time. He really did think I was his Mistress...

My soles were becoming a little more wet as he obediently licked my foot. (I guess he didn't mind the stirrups...). I gasped in pleasure as he licked back down my soles from my toes. Finally, I caught my breath, and got to talk to Yumes. "Mistress? Oh my, Yumes... You don't have to call me that... I can already tell you're in love with me and my feet, so why don't you do what comes to you naturally?" I sighed in relaxation again as he continued licking, I sure hope he's listening... "I mean, I love that you're licking my feet, but you could be doing so much more. If it's okay, Yumes, tell me... What do you really want to do with my feet?"

He answered timidly as he looked up at my toes. "W...W...Well Mistres - I...I..I mean Nicola-samas.....I....I.......I do love tickling a..and...one other thing t..that I haven't tried yet." His eyes locked on my toes as he sat at my feet. "A...A..And the other thing is.....is..." He looked too shy to say it - perhaps he wanted to show me instead... For a moment I thought he would go back to nibbling my toes, his hands moving to my arches, massaging them again.

"Pyuuuu..."

"What are you doing now Yume-- Aaaahhh! Ooh.... Oh, my... That feels wonderful!" He was sucking my toes - I also love that, second only to having my soles licked wet. He sucked my toes rather gently, but given that my feet were recently wet from being licked before, it felt so slippery in his mouth. I wiggled the toes in his mouth, and that made him suck even harder! I moaned a little louder...

Since Yumes was rather small compared to me, he couldn't get all of my toes in his mouth, so while I was massively aroused, I stared at my other toes  - and I just went for it! I was pretty limber and flexible, leaning towards Yumes (who still had some of my toes in his mouth) and slipping in the remaining toes in my mouth. I instantly moaned in my mouth as I tasted my foot. Oh my... I've never tasted my own feet before - and now I can see why he was licking them for so long! He was right... The taste of my feet was amazing! I kept moaning with my toes in my mouth. I flexed my foot, I was flexible enough for my tongue to reach my soles and I lapped at my own soles. My eyes were closed, intoxicated at the taste of my feet.

Then I felt something teasing at my other arch... It was Yumes' finger, curiously wiggling up my arch. I giggled a bit, my mouth muffled by my toes.

"Hmhmhm!" I briefly slipped my toes out of my mouth. "Hehehee! " My laughter... He must really like it, as it spurred him to tickle my feet even more!

"Oh Yumes..." I decided to give the pup a little reward for this amazing time I'm having. I reached my head out and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. It stopped his tickling for a moment, though the both of us were holding my wet feet. I see his head heating up as he put his hand where I kissed. I see his soft sparkling blue eyes again...

"Pyuuuuu..." He squeaked, wagging his tail.

I'm getting a little tired now. I think we should finish up for the night, but first... I gave another kiss on the his forehead. "Thank you so much, Yumes. I had a great time with you." I pet his hair again. "But I think we should finish up for now. It's getting kinda late..."

"O....O..Okays, Miss...I..I understand. " He said cutely, closing his eyes as I kissed his forehead. Suddenly, as knowing our playtime was finished, the pup lifted his arms up at me (he looked so adorable when he did that!), waiting to be picked up, his tail swishing slowly behind him.

"I...I'm ready for bed, Miss Nicola-S...Samas."

"Okay, little one. Let's go sleep now..." I picked him up, and prepared to lay down onto the bed. He then opened his mouth and let out a tired yawn. I giggled hearing his voice squeaking as his yawn reached its peak. "Oops, hold on a moment..." The dark markings that had once disappeared from my body returned to their respective places, covering up my body as it was before. I took a seat on the bed, still cuddling Yumes in my arms.

As I lay down on the bed and covering ourselves with the blanket,  put my head on the soft pillow. I feel him blushing heavily, the pup nuzzling close to me, rubbing his cheek against my neck. he must have enjoyed the feeling of my body - as he was using my body as a pillow!

"Good night, Yumes..." I pet his head as I closed my eyes.

"G.....Good night, Nicola-Samas."
