Having checked several times for possible surveillance, Hanako activated the secret switch on the shelf, disguised as a doll, and then descended the stairs which opened up behind her desk.  It was a long, dark staircase, but she liked the darkness. It felt like home to her. Finally, she reached her sanctuary in a cave beneath the dorms. It was here she operated as a vigilante of sorts, punishing those who would hurt the weak. A silent guardian. A watchful protector. A 400 pound grizzly bear in a cape.   She swiped a paw at the computer to turn it on, instantly connecting her to a vast network of cameras all around Yamaku. After a few minutes of scanning, she noticed something terrible. Lilly was walking back to campus after a shopping trip with her sister, and she ran into one of the school’s resident villains. A dark haired boy with thick glasses and an absurdly large scarf tripped the girl up, and refused to help or even apologize. Hanako could see her best friend was forced into an unfortunate moment of vulnerability, but she could not help as she normally was. She would have to assume her alter ego, BatBear! A terrible being who strikes from the night with the speed and fright of a bat, and the strength of a bear. With a dreadful roar, she bore her mask, armor, and cape, and dashed out to the grounds.   Lilly was on her knees. Her strange antagonist kept pacing back and forth around her, rambling about how she should have known where she was going, and this was actually her fault. Lilly was usually very composed, but right now she had nobody to rely on, or put on an act for; as such, she was starting to get flustered and could not react properly to the situation. The tall blonde girl, so frequently independent, now wished she had either her sister or her best friend Hanako to comfort and help her out. Luckily, she was not alone for long. A large shadow burst out of a nearby bush, slamming into the angry young man with incredible force, knocking him off his feet and off the path entirely. Lilly recoiled in horror from this new figure, covered in fur and black leather. “Who… who are you?” She asked, trembling.   “GGRRAAAAAAAGH” the beast responded, lifting her into its arms and running off towards the dorms. As they disappeared into the night, Kenji stood up from the foliage he’d landed in, adjusted his glasses, and cursed into the night: “I’LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, BATBEAR! YOU FEMINIST MENACE!”   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   BatBear ascended the dormitory wall skillfully, balancing Lilly over her shoulder. She gently slid a claw under the window latch to Lilly’s own room, and opened it enough to get inside.  BatBear set the fragile girl down on her bed, and made a move back to the window to escape the scene.   “My my,” Lilly interrupted. “Leaving already, my savior?”   “Grrrwl,” she replied, clearly wanting to leave, but hesitating long enough for the blind girl to approach her.   Lilly reached out her hand to stroke her guardian’s face, feeling the smoothness of the leather mask in stark contrast to the stiff and bristly fur sticking out on the sides. BatBear froze, unsure of what to do in the situation. But Lilly continued, murmuring about how hard life must be for someone so resigned to secrecy. The large, hairy girl growled softly in pleasure at her companion’s soft touch; she was soon more surprised when the smaller girl kissed her on her exposed snout. BatBear wanted desperately to stay, and enjoy Lilly’s company, but she knew she must leave, for if she removed her outfit, Lilly might feel a portion of her scarred, hairless skin and know her true identity. However, Lilly maintained the kiss, and continued caressing her face and neck. Finally, BatBear could not resist. She roared, and wrapped her long shaggy arms around the blind girl, her tongue whipping out to return a sloppy kiss. The two of them fell onto the bed, Lilly carefully removing BatBear’s mask, and BatBear’s claws shredding Lilly’s uniform. Soon enough they were both completely nude; BatBear gazing in awe at the beauty atop her, and Lilly running her hands over her hero’s bulky form.   Lilly reached a portion of skin she had felt before, one particularly marred by the fire that had torn BatBear’s parents from her. “Hanako…” she whispered, “I never knew.” A single tear dripped from Lilly’s cloudy blue eye as she contemplated her best friend’s torment, and her unbelievable secret.   Hanako reached a paw up, claws retracted, and wiped the tear from her cheek. “Grrrawwwww” she said, soothingly. The last thing she wanted was for someone to worry about her. She decided to take the lead, as Lilly seemed shocked by this turn of events. She gently pushed Lilly onto her back, and assumed the top position. The massive girl-bear gave one more quick kiss on her face, which Lilly returned, assuring Hanako that this is what she truly wanted, and then she began moving her way down the blonde girl’s body. Hanako’s paws gently massaged Lilly’s ample bosom, her large tongue exploring every inch of her soft skin.  Lilly moaned in pleasure as Hanako finally reached the spot between her legs, the roughness of her tongue combining with the warmth and wetness to create an incredible sensation. Hanako lapped at her crotch like it was honey, and it almost tasted like it. Lilly went wild, grasping Hanako’s paws tighter to her chest, and relishing the feeling of her coarse fur on her inner thighs as the bear continued to orally ravage her.  Finally, Lilly came to a climax, and Hanako eagerly licked up all of her feminine juices.   The two girls cuddled up close together, like they had done many times, only now it was different. They were lovers, not just friends, and Lilly knew that Hanako, as BatBear, would always be there to protect her. That night, they slept better than either of them ever had.
