Enough with the bios, it's on!
Sonic was getting ready for "The Night" He was trying to figure out what cologne he wanted to wear.
"Let's see… Brut or Obsession… I can't tell, they all smell girly to me!"
While he was deciding, Tails was still coming to grips with the facts of life.
"People actually DO stuff like that? That's disgusting! I am NEVER EVER gonna look at another woman ever again in my life! Maybe I'll become a monk…"
And Sally was deciding what to wear.
"Hmmmmm… I wanna look provocative, but I don't wanna look desperate or like a slut…"
The boy wandered through the undergrowth of the forest on his elbows and knees. He was almost too weak to go on. But his goal pushed him forward despite his deep injuries and fatigue from three days and nights of sleeplessness.
"He's at New Knothole…"
He smiled, thinking of meeting his long lost and only living relative left. The last of a long bloodline of powerful Shamans…
Tonight would be eventful indeed…Tails' ears perked up. He felt something, and it wasn't that nail that poked out of his kitchen chair.
"That's strange… Suddenly I felt like I was in terrible pain…" He said, rubbing his side where he felt it.
He felt scared. The last time he felt pain like that, Sonic had had undetected appendicitis and almost died by the time he actually felt the pain himself.
"Oh, no…"
That's when he realized… THIS person felt far off… A little way out in the forest behind New Knothole, the big house they all lived in.
"Someone's coming…"
"Huh…huh…huh…"The child's breathing was coming in heavy sips this time. He knew he was near death. He HAD to find him soon, or he would not be able to train him once his own powers came out of their dormancy.
"Huh…Huh…Huh"
He was surprisingly peaceful, even as his breathing became more and more labored. His chest felt as if his heart were bleeding.
"Huhh…Huhh…Huhh…"
He felt his chest would burst. The end was near.
"Please let me reach him…""Uncle Sonic? Why are you putting cologne on?"
"Um…"
Sonic did not want to tell Taho what he was really getting ready for.
"I have a 'date' with Sally"
"Why did you put 'date' in quotations?"
Sonic balked for a second. He was in pretty deep now.
"Um… I never passed English class in school…"
"Where is the date?"
By now, Sonic was blushing. If you can imagine the shade your skin turns from a steam burn, that's what color he was turning.
"In… her room…"
"What kind of date is that?"
Okay, Sonic was panicking by now. He figured he'd better cut this fish loose. He'd already explained s-x once today, and DID NOT wanna do it again.
"I tell you what. If you go away, stop bothering me, and DON'T COME IN OUR ROOM until 7:00 in the morning, I'll let you play my video games. Except Halo II."
"Why not?"
"That game's NOT for children."
Taho left, and Sonic continued to get ready for the night.
"HUHH…HUHH…HUHH…"
The boy was close to death. The Laser Cannon wound in his side was pumping a crimson waterfall along his ribs, down to his belly; soaking the burnt-orange colored fur on his sides, and the very light cream fur on his stomach.
"Please… I can't die…" He murmured weakly.
A strange cloudy cast was starting to fall over his large eyes; eyes that started dark blue at the edges an faded to dark green as you got closer to his pupils, which were dilated to the point he had only a thin ring of iris left.
He forced himself to his feet, thinking he just might make it if he ran.
"HUHH…HUHH…HUHH…"
The ground rushed up to him very suddenly.
"Oh, God!"
Tails grabbed his side again, this time he was worried. Something was drawing him to the kitchen window. The fox staggered to the window, looked out and…
"Oh, no! Where's Sonic?"
Forgetting the stabbing pain in his side, he raced off down the hall.
"Okay, are you ready?"
"Ready when you are!"
Sonic was starting to undo Sally's nightgown when…
BANG!
"Sonic, we need to… What are you doing?"
They all paused for a long awkward silence. Finally, Tails spoke.
"Never mind that! There's a little kid outside an' he's really badly hurt!"
"What?" Said Sonic, speeding off as fast as he could.
"Wait up!" said Sally, refastening the top six buttons on her nightie.
As they raced down the hall, one thing went through their minds.
"How did he EVER get past our Laser Cannon defenses?"
They arrived in the yard, where a pudgy little two-tailed kit with dark fur was lying on his back, soaked in his own vermilion blood.
"Shit, I think the cannons got him! We might not be able to save him…" Sonic grumbled.
Tails was frantic. He was rubbing the little guy's black hand.
"That's not a glove, he really does have black fur on his hands." Tails thought, trying to keep his mind off the fact that the boy was dying.
Sally was wrapping the child's torso tightly with torn shreds of a curtain she had accidentally pulled down in her rush to help him.
"If we can stop the bleeding, maybe we can still save him!"
Tails held the little kit's fuzzy hand, chanting a mantra over and over again in his mind.
"Please don't die, Please don't die, Please don't die, Please don't die, Please don't die!"
Suddenly, the boy's eyes opened. He looked like he was blind, his pupils were so huge. His eyes wandered to Tails, and then, almost immediately, his eyes became normal and happy, and he even let out a happy cry, as he used the last of his strength to embrace Tails.
"It's you!" And then he slipped into unconsciousness, still hugging him.
"Huh?"
End Chapter Two.
Sorry it wasn't funny, but Xiaoran's story is NOT a happy one. It will get funny again in the next chapter, I promise.
