For yukiobsidian - this is her Sonic & Knuckles request... with a twist.
For fun, I've decided chaos can make a few basic sounds, since it's not very clear in the game if they can ever speak or communicate in any way. So they're like little pets in this fic, with cute 'blurr bur' sounds.
WARNINGS: contains violence, slight chaos abuse, language, yaoi, and a little something else... I can't tell you know since it's the secret surprise, but... well, if you don't like yaoi-related surprises, then don't read. Or at the very least, don't flame me for it later.
I don't own 'em, but please review anyways.
"Blurr?"
Sonic rolled over with a groan, and reached one hand up to rub some of the sleepiness out of his eyes as he squinted over the edge of the small rise in land he had been napping on. A small, dark blue chaos stared up at him, its eyes wordlessly begging for attention as it's tiny wings flapped in a hopeless attempt to rise to it's caregiver's resting place. The hedgehog, however, was unmoved by the small creature's desperate actions.
"Get lost! I already fed you!" he snapped grumpily as he rolled back over. It was easy enough to ignore looking at the small being with his back turned, but it was a little more difficult to pretend it wasn't there when it started crying for him again.
"Blurr? Buurrrr! BLU--"
"SCRAM!" The chaos yelped in surprise as his 'parent', glaring furiously, grabbed the closest rock and threw it at it. Wailing miserably, the creature fled, it's long rabbit ears and lion tail flapping sadly behind it. The hedgehog chuckled and lay back down, a satified smile on his face. That smug expression only lasted two seconds, however. As forcefully as he had thrown that rock earlier, it was unexpectedly hurled back at him, striking the dozing animal in the lower back. Sonic sat up in a flash, eyes narrowed violently as he searched the surrounding area for that damned chaos.
As soon as he located the small, meek being, he frowned heavily. It was trembling noticeably; it's tiny paws wrapped tightly around the shin of one of Sonic's oldest rivals.
"Knuckles!" Sonic spat out as he jumped down from his perch and dashed over to confront the enchida.
The red guardian of the master emerald glowered at the hedgehog in front of him as he slowly crossed his arms over his chest. "Sonic.... " he growled lowly, struggling to control his temper. If they started fighting here, all the animals and chaos that lived inthis garden could be hurt. Still, it was almost impossible for him to keep his cool around stubborn Sonic. Catching the deadly glare the hedgehog shot at the terrifed chaos behind him, Knuckles gave up any hope of a peaceful resolution to their conflict. Scowling, he suddenly spat out, "I saw what you did Sonic! You should be ashamed of yourself! I thought you fough to -save- animals? Don't tell me you really save them just so -you- can abuse them later?!"
"Shut up, Knuckles!" the blue hedgehog snapped quickly. His fists tightened as the enchida made his accusation. "I don't abuse anything! I had already fed it! It wouldn't get lost and let me sleep?"
"So that justifies throwing rocks at it?!"
"What business is it of yours?!"
"I'M MAKING IT MY BUSINESS!"
"WELL, THEN YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE, PAL!" Sonic threatened as he lifted his fists and took a step closer. "'Cuz I don't like people butting into my business."
Knuckles was more than up ot the challenge, and the small blue chaos fled as the two fighters squared off, intent on beating their own beliefs into the other's head by force, if necessary. Sonic, naturally, was impatient and made the first move. Knuckles dodged his spin attack easily and dealt a heavy punch to his opponent's ribs as he rolled by. Cursing, Sonic spun around to make a second attempt with the same attack, but the result was another bone-breaking jab to his rib cage. Hurt, Sonic came out of his ball, and stood a few feet away from the red figure, breathing heavily. Pain was shooting through his ribs. He winced a bit as he started circling his rival. He knew he needed a new technique, or else Knuckles would beat him. He just didn't understand why the enchida was so upset in thie first place.
"It was just a stupid chaos! There are at least 6 of them running around here!" he called over to his opponent. "I didn't even hurt him! The rock missed!"
"That's not the point!" Knuckles shouted back angrily. "You shouldn't have lost your temper like that in the first place! You're supposed to be taking care of the chaos! Is that how you're going to care for your son once he's born?!"
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Sonic demanded, looking both confused and irritated by Knuckles' comments. "I don't have a son, but even if I did, I would be a cool dad."
Knuckles sighed, the fight visibly leaving him. His shoulders sagged, and his head lowered. Sonic had to strain to hear the enchida's next words. "I just don't know, Sonic... and I can't trust you if I don't know."
"Don't know what?" the hedgehog asked quietly as he edged closer. The red fighter wasn't even looking at him anymore; he had sat down on a large, flat rock, and was staring vacantly at the sky. The blue warrior hesitantly sat beside him. "What's wrong, Knuck"
"I....." Sighing, Knuckles sat up, straightened his shoulders, turned to look Sonic in the eye, and, with a deep breath, told him the truth.
"I'm pregnant, Sonic, and it's yours."
