The Forsaken Chapter 4, a sonic the hedgehog fanfic

Siren pulled away from Hollow as she moved from his side. He looked to her in a confused mannor, but didn't say anything.

Sabor sighed, "I'd hate to say this, and I really mean I'd hate to say this, but glad to have you back....Hollow..."

Hollow shrugged at the Kitty's words, "Hollows...we're bastards...that are harder than hell to get rid of...."

With that statement said. Both Sabor and Hollow went back to silence between them. Light and Siren sighed, but each for her own reason. Light because, well face it, Hollow and Sabor couldn't stand five seconds with each other and they were starting a fight. Well correction, Hollow WAS starting the fight. Siren just because of the fact that she knew she'd be holding Light back if Sabor got his ass kicked by Hollow.

Zena looked at Zora and sighed, "Geez...Sabor is right...you do look like shit.."

Zora frowned towards Zena, but didn't say anything. He just hung his head and whispered an almost silent: 'shut up Zena.' He was lucky she was busy looking at Siren and Light. Zena sighed as she looked at the two female hybrids.

Siren leaned against a tree as she shook her head a bit as Light asked her something. Light frowned in frustraction. Siren was just as bad as Hollow, she never admitted anything. And even when she did, it was spoken in almost a riddle. Light hated it, but she couldn't complain. Seeing as Siren didn't complain when Light showed traits of Sabor.

"Please Siren..."

"No..."

"But...please," Light said as she used the cute 'Bambi Eyes' on Siren.

"Get away from me," Siren growled in a demonic tone.

"Not until you tell me..."

"Then you'll be waiting until Hell freezes over.." With that said, Siren walked away from Light.

Light huffed in frustraction, "DAMMIT SIREN!!! QUITE BEING A PAIN IN THE FUCKING ASS!!!!"

Siren turned back around and looked at Light with a surprised look on her face. Seeing as she'd never heard that many curse words said from Light's mouth before. She shook her head at Light, "Figure it out...and then you'll have your answer..."

Light growled a bit, as she was now ANNOYED with Siren. She didn't give it much thought as she ran at her and slammed her into body into Siren's. Siren took the hit, causing her to slide backwards a bit. She looked at Light with a twisted smile on her face.

"Well now....Seems I get to have some fun.." a chuckling sound came from Siren as she spoke to Light.

Light backed up, hoping she hadn't done something stupid that would awaken the demon in Siren. But she didn't get the chance as Siren disappeared away from the group.

Hollow growled as he couldn't pick up on her aura. She had killed it down to nothing and now he knew what was happening. He looked at Sabor, "Dammit...Kitty get your......girl..."

Sabor did as he was told with him saying something under his breath about not being Hollow's slave. Hollow's ears twitched to him, "Cuse me..."

Sabor bowed his head, "Nevermind..."

Siren reappeared a few minutes later slamming Sabor into Light. Causing both of them to crash into the object, which was a rock wall. Sabor wrapped his body around Light, at the least second, causing him to take the full force of Siren's attack.

Hollow growled. Zena and Zora bared their fangs at Siren. Since they were Light's Guardians, protecting her was first, then the fact that Siren was their friend. Siren ignored all of it, walking over to Light and Sabor. She knelt to face Light, "You'll figure it out...and once you do...then you'll have your answer..."

With that Siren stood back up. Her red eyes flickered over to Hollow as they changed back to their golden ones. Hollow calmed down some, seeing as she wasn't going to try and kill them. He looked over to see Sabor, once again, almost out of it.

Light turned to face Sabor, "Sabor? Come on....stay with me..."

Sabor shook his head, "I'm not going anywhere..."

"If you say..."

Sabor just nodded his head, as now he had to stand up. Light moved from his quickly and held her hand out to him. Sabor gladly took it as he let her pull him to his feet. Once to his feet, he stumbled a few minutes, but soon had his balance. He looked at Siren and growled a bit, but the look Hollow sent him, silenced him in a few short seconds.

Zora moved over to Sabor and Light and looked Light over, like a worried father. He asked her if she was hurt or if she felt any pain anywhere. Light replied by smacking him in the head, "Not it off...I'm fine Zora!!"

Zora nodded, seeing as if Light could cause him pain, then yeah, she was fine. He looked at Sabor and sighed. Just thankful that he was fine and that Siren's attack hadn't done any real damage to him. He looked over to see Zena talking to Hollow and Siren.

Zena looked at Siren and sighed, "What the hell happened back there, Siren?"

"I'm not sure..."

"How the hell can you not be sure?!"

"It's just like I said....I DON'T KNOW," Siren sighed as her voice rose. She shook her head and went to lean against a tree away from the others.

Hollow sighed, "She's just stressed..."

Zena nodded. She looked over to the other three. She waved them over, "Alright guys...let's get out of here. Besides we still have half a day before we stop again."

Light, Sabor and Zora nodded to Zena. With that Zena started to walk off down another path. Siren waited til she was one of the last ones in the area, then started to walk. Hollow fell in line beside her. He looked at her, "What was that Siren..?"

"If I know better...she ticked off the demon in me...and that was the out come.."

"I figured that much....."

"Then why ask....?"

"To hear your voice," Hollow stated, then froze at what he had just said. He looked at Siren, to see her smiling a bit. He sighed as it had worked.

"Thanks for that," Siren said as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Hollow smiled softly as his arm wrapped around her waist as they walked after Zena, Zora, Sabor, and Light.

-------------------

By night fall, the fight had been forgotten and Light was talking to Siren again, with Hollow once again torturing Sabor just for the hell of it. Finally Light had a crazy idea.

"Hey...can we play a game..?"

Hollow, Siren, Sabor, and Zena looked at her. They all replied, "What KIND of game?"

Zora smirked as he figured he knew the answer even before Light said it. Light smiled a bit, "Kinda like truth-or-dare, but more like just asking question. And the person being asked has to answer the question."

Siren looked at Hollow. Hollow sighed, "Might as well...she won't leave us along otherwise.." Siren, Sabor, and Zena nodded at his words. Knowing very well that he was right. So they all swallowed their pride, including Hollow, and decided to play the game.

Light smirked, "Alright I'll go first..." She looked over the small group as her eyes landed on Siren. She giggled a bit, "Siren.."

Siren sighed, "Fine...."

"Do you think Hollow being a smart-ass is cute..?"

Siren looked at her like she was crazy. But she held back what she was really thinking which was nothing short of: 'Fuck off Light.' Instead she answered the question. Then screamed at herself in mind for asking it.

"Yes.."

Zora lost it, but soon quited down with the looks he was getting from Zena, Siren, and Hollow's was nothing short of Satan, himself, ripping into Zora's flesh. Light chuckled, "Okay Siren...ask someone.."

Siren sighed, "Light, do you ever find Sabor's constant whinning annoying to the point you'd rather just kick his ass then listen to it..?"

Hollow and Zena chuckled at this. Knowing that's what Siren always felt. Hell both Hollow and Zena felt like that. But only Hollow spoke his mind on that, Siren normally just bottled it up.

Light glared at Siren, "You expect me to answer that.."

"Seeing as I answered the last one....yes.."

"Fine....yes at times he gets annoying, but not to the point that I want to kick his ass..." Light continued to glare at Siren. Siren just shrugged, "Well...ask again..."

Light sighed, she was beginning to think this had been a bad idea. Seeing as Siren had just turned her own game against her in a short few minutes. She looked as her eyes landed on Hollow.

"Hollow...." She stopped as she couldn't come up with anything to ask him. Saying his name caused him to look to her with a bored expression on his face. All he really cared about was getting her to shut up. Which meant having Siren in his arms quicker. He sighed, "What....?"

"Do you ever get ticked at Siren for not listening....?"

Hollow looked at Siren. Siren just shrugged as she already knew that answer. He usually did, but he didn't yell at her for it. He just asked her to at least try and listen to him. If she could do that. Which she normally did for him, seeing as it tore him apart when she didn't listen, and ended up getting hurt. Hollow sighed as he answered the question, "At times.."

Light sighed, seeing as that wasn't really the answer she wanted. But she went with it anyway, "Alright ask..."

Hollow looked over to Kitty and smirked. He locked eyes with Sabor, "Alright Kitty....How much do you hate being my slave..?"

Sabor growled a bit at the wording. He looked at Light with a look in his eyes. The look stated several things, but all she got was: 'Thanks alot Light.' Sabor looked back to Hollow, "I'm not your slave..."

Hollow chuckled, but didn't push it. Seeing as Sabor had answered, meaning the game would speed up as there was only two lef to answer. Then he'd have Siren back in his arms.

Sabor looked at Zora, "If you had to chose between Hollow as a brother or Siren as a sister...which would you rather have?"

Zora stopped moving as he looked between the hollow male cheetah and the female hybrid. He thought about it for a few minutes then sighed, "Does it count in the question if I kill myself shortly afterwards...?"

Sabor sighed, "No...you can't kill yourself.."

"Then I'd go with Siren..."

Siren cracked up, "You'd be dead in a few minutes...."

Zora looked at her with a dead and dying look. Siren shrugged as she wanted this game to be over with. She didn't even remember why they had started this game. Now that she thought about it.

Light looked at Zora, "Ask.."

Zora looked at Zena. He sighed, "Zena...if you didn't have me as a brother would life be easier for you?"

Zena sighed, "No..."

Siren, Hollow, Sabor, Light, and even a shocked Zora looked at Zena. Zena shrugged, "What I mean is...If Zora wasn't my brother...then who would I beat the shit out of..."

Siren and Hollow chuckled at Zena's statement. Zora bowed his head as he sniffled a bit. He knew it, he was only a punching bag to Zena. Light and Sabor sighed. Hollows and hell demons could never be serious, even when it was a deep question that most hid for years before asking.

---------------

Soon after the game started, it was over. Light smirked a bit as she watched Hollow climb into a tree, and ended up laying in one of the lower branches. Siren soon followed as she laid down in his lap. Hollow wrapped his arm around her, as he rubbed her side gently.

Light smiled as she curled up against Sabor's chest. Sabor smiled down to her as he laid his arm over her waist. With that the snow white female hybrid fell asleep a few minutes later. Sabor falling behind her a few minutes later.

Zora was curled up on the ground. Zena leaned against a rock as she soon had fallen asleep. Zora looked at her, "Why...though...?" He whispered quietly before he fell asleep on the ground.

Hollow looked to see everyone asleep. He looked back to Siren and licked her cheek softly. Siren was awake a few seconds later, she purred lightly as he rubbed over her legs.

"Hollow....later...my love.."

"You're torturing me with that.."

"I know...but not right now.."

Hollow sighed, but slowed down a bit. His claws moved over her side gently, causing her to fall back asleep. Hollow laid his head on her shoulder as he fell asleep shortly after she did. He didn't wake once, as for once in a long while he was completely at peace.
