It was early evening as Kedo hurried through the colony's large network of metallic corridors that drove their way through the upper surface of the planet.

He was running late, much to the young buck's embarrassment. He hurried as fast as he could, his chest rising to catch gulps of air as he did, his bare feet hammering on the echoing steel of the tunnels as he did. With each step he cursed himself for his lax behaviour - as far as the rabbits of Elklon were aware, the hunt was all. It was the most important date in their calendar. And here he was, running late!

Kedo was well aware of that, and for that purpose he had been training for the last few months. Yet as the day of the hunt grew near, the young buck felt a sense of anxiety growing within his soft belly. He scrambled as fast as he could through the tunnels which continued down into the cool earth, each tumbling in great interweaving networks that allowed nearly three hundred rabbits such as himself to stay cool even in the escalating temperatures of the colony's twin suns.

This year had been especially harsh. Kedo, who was still a youngster, had lived in the colony for all of his years, and had never before seen a year like it. The elders said that the temperatures were warmer than they had been on their home world, but Kedo was a third generation colonist and, like many of the bucks who were his own age, had never known the ease of life back on Earth. He could not imagine the surface being anything other than arid and sparse of nutrients, nor could he picture eating anything that was not grown in the colony's hydroponic bays.

As he sprinted on bare feet past humming light from many flickering bulbs, he muttered quick curses to himself. A soft rumble filled the temperate air, growing louder as the young buck hurried gradually closer and closer towards the audience chamber.

Hurrying into the grand chamber, Kedo slid to a halt. As he did so, almost thirty pairs of eyes turned towards him as the collected elders gave an exhale of relief.

Among the colony, the eldest held positions of respect and high regard. Many of them were survivors of the first to touch base on this new world, although in recent years even first generation offspring, when their ears started to droop and their whiskers grew long, was assured that they would one day earn the position of advisors and guides over the youngsters. "Mister Kedo" pronounced one of the councillors from his seated position atop a tall chair, "We are so glad that you graced us with your presence."

His long auburn ears hanging loosely around his shoulders, Kedo stepped into the towering chamber, his eyes glancing from pillar to pillar. The young buck, dressed as most of his kin were in only a decorate thin loincloth, brushed his paws anxiously over his bare stomach. "Uhh, yes, sorry" he muttered, "I overslept."

A residual murmur crossed from one of the council members to another. The one that had already spoken, a heavy-set white haired buck stroked his beard. "Understandable" he commented. "I see that you have been enjoying your Indulgence."

Kedo glanced downwards, a thin blush crossing his soft cheeks. Since he had been selected to partake in the hunt, the Elklon colony's inhabitants had encouraged his Indulgence. The young buck had been presented with the freshest and juiciest of fruits, as many as he wished for. He had been provided the strongest of their meads and wines brewed from the colony's vaults, many of which had been brought from the home worlds so many decades ago, and offered the favours of as many of the colony's most energetic does and bucks to sate his desires. It was the latter of which that the elder spoke, Kedo was strongly aware that the scent of his sexual conquests carried with him. Tentatively, he nodded. "I apologise, great Elder Tsa."

The council member waved a paw in a dismissive gesture, struggling to raise from his seated position. With back bent under the weight of many years, he shuffled across the austere chamber to the youngster. "Young Kedo" he groaned, "the night of the hunt has come, as it comes every turn of the seasons. By the fortune of our great vizier's forseers, you have been selected to stand in the representation of the colony. Do you understand the duties of this position?"

Kedo nodded, gravely. His appointment had been a great honour - one that had brought him days and nights of pleasure and indulgence. He had been selected by means of a lottery, one in which all of the young bucks of the colony was entered into upon reaching physical maturity. Kedo had been told stories of those who had gone on to be selected before him - those who had served their colony, as he now would do, when the call was given for them to do so. Although he had feasted, drank and rutted well into the night, celebrating and enjoying every moment of it, he was well aware that they were an offering of respect from his colony for the duty that Kedo was about to perform. But the celebrations had been more than that - they served a dual function, that of a test of the buck's endurance and stamina, readying him for the ceremony ahead. And now, with the hunt approaching, the fear that had gnawed at the back of his mind all these preceding weeks had grown into a rumbling growl.

He bowed his head, and the elder rabbit placed around the rabbit's slender neck a string of small metal beads. "Then accept this" he intoned, "knowing that it will mark you as our offering."

The youngster barely had a moment to adjust to the decorative ornaments weight around his neck before the council member reached out. With open fingers, he dabbed a small damp ointment upon the buck. Moving his fingers down, he left a wet black trail as he painted soft markings across the rabbit's chest, stomach, crotch and waist. Kedo squirmed a little at the cold touch of the paint.

Finally, Tsa stepped back, satisfied with his work. The other council member, too, turned their heads downcast, no longer meeting the young buck's wide eyes. Kedo wrapped his arms around his chest, a nervous shiver filling him as he stepped across the echoing chamber.

As he left, one elder - the aged tonalist - began a soft but sombre song. The notes drifted through the tunnels through which Kedo walked, before it was joined by other rabbits that added their voice to their melody. The buck was aware of the song, having heard it many times in his short life. It was a song of mourning, one that readied the souls of the after-world for the arrival of a newcomer. The elders sang it for Kedo, as tradition taught them to do at times when there was risk that one of the colony may not return home.

Kedo, inhaling with each step, hoped that it would not be needed.

Emerging into the light, Kedo winced at the biting heat of the suns. Its embracing warmth settled around the buck's bare shoulders and slender chest. He looked around, ears high, flickering to and fro. The air smelled dusty, as it always did, but mercifully free of threat. Tentatively, he made his way to the south, following the well-worn route that wound steadily up from where the colony had settled so many decades before and up, out of the safety of their warren-like tunnel network, to a large rocky outcrop.

Nervously shuffling his way onto the plateau, he took a seated position. There, Kedo began to wait. His fear started to ease gradually as the silence of the planet started to surround him. All, for the moment, seemed at peace. The buck found himself hoping that it would remain so.

In all recorded history, the hunt had continued without pause, echoing the turn of the year, since the time of the first landing. Gently he slid onto his back, staring up into the vast sky. He found himself wondering about the predator that would soon come. In his youth, the tales of the creature that would hunt the inhabitants of the colony instilled within him a sense of terror. But now, older as he was, he did not feel so much in the way of fear - instead, it was replaced with a sense of resigned acceptance.

The day waned, twin sunlight heat ebbing into a peaceful cool. As the light started to dim, the buck felt his senses heighten. A soft scent caressed his senses, and he sat quickly bolt upright. His nose pulsed, ears arching upwards. With the instinctively speedy reactions of generations of rabbits, he turned towards the unfamiliar presence.

It slunk close to the ground as it approached, sleek shoulders rippling as it stalked on all fours. Moving silently on deceptively large paws, the creature's coat seemed to almost reflect the dawning night. Kedo froze, paralyzed as the fear that sat at the back of his heart leaped into his throat. All he could do was stare into the puma's amber eyes. Slowly, savouring the approach, it drew close to the outcrop.

Then in a blur it was before the rabbit, rising up onto its hind legs. The creature's vast height blocked out the setting sun. Tight, hefty muscles moved beneath the onyx fur, and Kedo's body screamed at him to run.

The puma's eyes examined the rabbit, assessing it as one would a banquet. Its whiskers bristled, and in a smoothly velveteen voice it said "In my day, they sent out fat rabbits."

Rumour had it that the feline colonists had arrived on the planet first, long before the rabbits. Perhaps in that time, he thought, they had grown quite so large. Kedo had no idea if there was any truth to that, and as he stumbled against the rocks, his feet scrambling this way and that until he was seated facing the puma, he found that he didn't care. His fluffy chest hammered with the heartbeat that pounded in his breast.

The puma, however, replied only with a toothy smile. He moved closer, placing one of his hefty paws atop the rabbit's trembling chest. "If you don't calm down" it said with a rumble, "you'll exhaust yourself. And then where will the fun be?"

Quickly the buck nodded, struggling to catch his erratic breaths. Hungrily, the puma moved. Wrapping a paw around the buck's ankle, he tugged the squirming rabbit back closer towards him. Kedo gave a soft whine. The feline, however, barely seemed to notice, pressing his nose closer. He inhaled against the rabbit's leg - then, with a tempting speed, brushed his coarse tongue across the rabbit's foot.

The buck squirmed, his thin toes flexing. The predator's amber gaze slid down over the rabbit's form. "Relax" he said. "You're a good offering. Quite delicious, in fact. I think I'm going to enjoy this."

A sense of relief washed over Kedo. Exhaling, he was glad that he had met the puma's approval. Shakily his lips turned into a smile with the knowledge that the colony would be safe for another year.

Kedo had only a few moments to consider the thought before the puma tugged his legs further apart. Flopping onto the rocks, the buck whined, feeling his thighs spread. A second later, a hot wash of exhaled breath crossed over the rabbit's sensitive inner thighs, and he felt once more the urge to flee. The urge was stopped, abruptly; as the puma's wet tongue began to caress the rabbit's delicate crotch.

Whimpering and bleating in unrestrained enjoyment, the rabbit let his head lay back atop a mass of his own nestled ears while the puma tasted him. The feline's hot tongue wetly caressed its way atop the buck's sheer loincloth, lapping over his rump, his soft orbs, and his thighs. Kedo moaned unabashedly.

With a simple flick of its claws, the puma sent the rabbit's loincloth flickering away, arcing through the twilit air. Kedo gave a timid little cry, his soft fur rippling as the puma tasted him, lapping his pert and eager crotch and leaving the rabbit's thin cock slick and damp.

The puma released his grip on the rabbit's foot, and the buck slid back to rest on the ground. His chest rose and fell with residual enjoyment. Kedo caught his breath, eagerness burning in his chest.

Rising to his full height, the feline looked down over the rabbit, his thick shaft jutting plumply from between his thighs, every bit as strong and full and powerful as the puma itself. The muscular feline cupped the organ, gripping its heft with his large paw. Kedo grinned, and turned around, resting on his stomach and spreading his sun-warmed thighs. It was good to be bunny, he decided.

Wrapping his powerful fingers around the buck's spread ankles; the puma slid them further apart, sliding to his knees between the rabbit's thighs. Kedo whined, his fingernails clasping for purchase against the rocky outcrop as the heat of the puma's arousal pressed against his soft rump. The puma released his grip on one leg, moving his thumb and forefinger to squeeze temptingly against the rabbit's gentle cheeks. He clutched one, parting it, exposing the buck's tender entryway.

The rabbit gasped, his shoulders rising and back arching as the puma slid the tip of his heavy cock between the boy's spread cheeks. As he worked his way in, Kedo bit down on his lip, straining at the considerable size. His ears flopped back, hanging down on either side of his shoulders, swaying as the big cat's girth forced the young buck's entire body to rock against his penetrating thrusts.

Whining heavily, Kedo's gasping quickly turned into loud, sharp little yelps of raw pleasure, as the pair writhed beneath the rising moonlight. The puma wasted no effort, his strength claiming the young buck with every movement, every inch and motion. With each thrust, his muscular fingers explored the young rabbit's body, sliding their way across his waist and teasing light tufts of fur against his chest. Kedo cried out in ecstasy, beads of perspiration dotting around the soft down around his body. Harder, he thought, harder. And almost as though reading the buck's mind, the feline strengthened his heavy thrusts, slamming into the rabbit's form with rampant enthusiasm.

Kedo threw back his head, moaning loudly as the puma claimed him, satiating his predatory hunger on the young buck. He feasted his lust, feeding his considerable sexual appetites on the rabbit. The youngster lay his head down against the ground, letting his body be used, his own urges hungry for more.

The puma's speed hurried frantically, his blade-like teeth clenching and shimmering in the moonlight as he pounded his heavy cock to its hilt into the rabbit's tight, hot body. Each thrust drew a desperate loud gasp from Kedo, his ears flapping as his head rolled to and fro in ecstatic rhythm. The puma drew close, straining to hold back his imminent climax, but it was all for naught. His sexual eagerness overtook him, as the feline drove his full considerable length inwards, squeezing every last ounce of pleasure from the buck's sweltering form. His orgasm hit hard, thick spurts pounding into Kedo's trembling tightness with just as much force as the puma's lovemaking.

The buck slid down, his chest rising and falling in over-exertion. His body slumped down into a hot pool of the puma's fluid, his rump feeling worn and exhausted. Kedo turned his gaze, glancing up at the puma. The aquiline feline wiped his brow with the muscular cuff of his paw, his amber eyes shining.

"You were a good meal" breathed the predator, his voice laboured by his weariness. He slid his hand down to brush the wetness from his plump, still-juicy member, flicking it dry of his seed. "It's been a good hunt."

"Uhh" stuttered the rabbit, struggling to find his words. "Uhhnnn."

With that, the puma leaned down, rolling his fingers against the rabbit's brow. Kedo's head flopped wearily against the gesture. He was worn, deflated, utterly exhausted - and very, very satisfied.

"Send another one next year" said the puma, "and I'll come and claim it. Make him as good as you."

Kedo struggled to sit up. As he did so, he slipped a little in the leftover wetness, his bare long feet struggling for purchase. When he looked up, the puma was gone - the feline's powerful onyx form having become one with the night's shadows.

As the buck looked around the site of the hunt for the ruins of his loincloth to cover his modesty, he tried not to think about what might happen if he - if any of the colony - failed to uphold their part of the bargain. The Elklon rabbits had satisfied it for many a year and, in doing so, ensured that the feline would not indulge his other hungers. Finding the loose scraps of torn fabric, Kedo began to tie it around his slender hips.

With a soft limp to his walk, Kedo wove his way down from the plateaux, journeying back to the colony. As he drew near, two other bucks rushed out onto the plains to meet him. Eagerly they cupped their hands around his shoulders, cheering for him. Kedo was too worn out to speak much, his body aching from the hearty sex that he had experienced.

Stumbling into the colony, a new song swelled to fill the grand chamber. The tonalist began a hymn of celebration, one that was joined not only by the lips of all of the elders of the colony but throughout the tunnels and caves as it was echoed. Each of the rabbits would, for that year, remember Kedo's name, and savour the safety that he had earned them. He had endured the hunt.

All the while, the puma watched from the shadows. He savoured the feel of the rabbit's warmth, the pleasure that the buck had brought him. A grin spread on his face, for it was a worthy offering. But then, thought the puma, the Elklon rabbits always were so delectable.

Glancing up, the puma checked the position of the stars. In two night's time, he would hunt the rabbits of the Krylsse colony, two miles to the south. And then three nights following that, he would travel to the east and take his offering from the colony there. And so on and on, for the course of the year, and the year that would follow after that.

He licked his lips. He loved those little bunnies.
