CHAPTER 9

Maybe it was something in the blood, but I had to get away from that tree! I had spent almost 3 days here now. one-and-a-half used for the doctor's, and cleaning a crane. Besides. I wanted to explore. I had heard of all these other strange cities, and (now that I had a way to protect myself), I was eager to visit them, and see just what a DFN agent could do!

I began to wander down, and away from the tree, as my friends took a nap. I soon reached the bottom, circled the large tree twice, and began to walk a small ways into the forest. I sat on a stump a good 20 feet away from the tree, and began to munch on some of the tree's seeds that I had brought along for the hike.
It was peaceful, and quiet, and the air here seemed to have a magical presence. As I sat there looking around, I saw something red, whiz past me near by! I looked in back of myself, surprised. It became quiet again, and I continued to eat, a bit scared now, my eyes darting all over...
"YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAA!!!!!!!"
SOMETHING LUNGED AT ME FROM THE TREES!!! I got up quickly, and imagined a huge dragon. I grew scales and, became at least 25 feet higher. The figure stood below me, and looked up. with an expression, both scared and surprised. It was.....

Inuyasha?

After the surprise he had gotten, he lunged at me still, and stuck that huge sword of his into my foot. I howled in pain, as the veins got punctured, and the blood gushed out in a stream. I looked below, and could see the bone in the cut. He lunged at me again, putting two large scars into my belly. I was weak, but quick this time, and shot a huge spout of fire and ash right toward him. He jumped it, and I grew to weak of power. I changed back to normal, and fell to the ground. My shirt was torn, and blood was gushing everywhere.
He stood above me, and raised his sword.......
"SONIC!!!!!!!!" I yelled with as much strength that I had left, the blood now coming from my stomach, and coming out of my mouth. I breathed heavily.

Meanwhile, Sonic heard my plea. He half-opened an eye, out of sleepiness. He looked around curiously, and saw that I was no longer there. He (wide awake now) went speeding down the tree toward the yelling's direction.

He saw Inuyasha, about to strike! He zoomed over, and began to protect me.
"GET BACK YOU IDIOT!!! YOUR INJURING ONE OF YOUR OWN!! SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!!!"
"Peh....all humans are the same. Besides, I am only half human. If I were whole, I would've polluted the Earth, been under another's rule, and murdered."
"BUT THAT'S WHAT YOUR DOING!!! MURDER!!!"
"She and I are not the same species though. It would be no different then killing a fish for food, or a mosquito for nuisance. Because, that's exactly what she is!!! A nuisance!"
"YOUR INSANE!! HUMANS AREN'T NUISANCES!!!"
"THEY ARE TO ME!"
The argument was interrupted though, by another figure that sped over.
It was Knuckles.
"FINALLY! A Mobosapian that will listen to the right side of things!" growled Inuyasha.
Knuckles took one look at me. and clenched his fist. He then looked at Inuyasha, angered beyond belief.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?!?!?!?!"
Inuyasha looked surprised at Knuckle's rage. "I thought......"
"THAT'S JUST THE PROBLEM!!! YOU DIDN'T THINK!!!!! Unlike us ani types, it takes months, years, maybe even never, for a homosapian to heal from the damage you've given her!!!"
"But, this is what you've always wanted, isn't it?!? For humans to be destroyed so we can once again live in peace?"
"RRRRRRRRRR...NOT FOR THIS HUMAN! SHE SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!"
Inuyasha looked surprised at this. "That's..... impossible! Humans only care for themselves!!"
THAT'S A LIE, AND YOU KNOW IT!!! Sonic butted in, enraged by these comments.

Meanwhile. I was losing blood, by the ounces, and no one seemed to notice. They were too busy fighting over who was right, and who was wrong. The pain was unbearable, sharp, and stabbing, the stomach feeling a lot worse then the foot. The blood was warm, and I felt sick. I threw up. But, instead of vomit, there was lots, and lots of blood, coming out in a spray. This seemed to catch Sonic's eye. He picked me up in a painful way. but in a way so that no more blood was spilling from the organs. The small droplets of blood that were on my body getting on his fur. He ran, fast but steady. As he did this, he spoke:
"Your gonna be O.K. kid,....just please, don't die on me. You shouldn't have run out by yourself. Just hang on."
He ran up the three story flight again, into the hospital.
"HELP HER!!!" He screamed to the lady.
Before she even had a chance to argue, nurses from all over wheeled me into a surgeons room with lights all around, as well as many tools. They shot something into me. and I fell, into the conscious once more.

I woke up! I was in my bed...strange... It seemed as though, I had scratched my belly on something, as well as my foot, for the pain stayed. I looked at both, to find out that I had been sleeping (and scratched upon) by a pencil under the covers. I chucked the pencil across the room, and looked at the clock. 3:00! I went back to bed with no difficulty.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I awoke! Dr Hibbert was standing over me again
"Well, hello!!! A-HE-HE-HE-HE-HE!!!"
'Whathappenedtome? Andwhyamlslurringmywords?"
"Your slurring your language, because of the medication! It will stop in a few seconds. In the meantime, you have visitors! A-HE-HE-HE-HE-HE!!!!!"
The doctor went to the door of the room to let in the visitors. I now realized I had been transferred to a hospital bed. There was a small I.V. pumping a bag of blood into my arm. Sonic rushed in, and took a good look at me.
"You feeling any better?"
"Uhh.....yeah. A bit weak though". I struggled to get up, but Sonic quickly pushed me down again.
"No getting up for you! You've lost a lot of blood, and are looking quite pale."
More people came into the room. Tails, the Dr., Knuckles, and....lnuyasha?
They all stood over me. Tails gave me a tight hug, and began to bawl.
"OW........OW......."
His hug was mangling my stitches.
"Erm....I think that's enough hug for today..." said Sonic, seeing that he was hurting the operation, and pushing him away.
"Oh! I'm soooo sorry! This is probly going to push your medical bill through the roof!" I whined.
"Aaaaaaaa..... don't worry about it. We have insurance." said Knuckles, reassuringly (he was being surprisingly nice).
"By the way....who donated the blood here?" I asked poking at it.
"A-HE-HE-HE-HE-HE!!!! Well, while it rather not be said, why don't you take a guess?!?"

My first guess was Sonic, but he shook his head.
"Not the right blood type." I looked around the room. Everyone averted their gaze, and whistled....all except for Inuyasha, who had turned around completely.
"You!" I said almost in shock, pointing to lnuyasha. "You donated the blood!!!"
Inuyasha looked at me through the corner of his eye, but said nothing.
"A-HE-HE-HE-HE-HE!! Well, I hope your prepared. Tomorrow, your going to court!"
"Court?!? What for?"
"Well, the country thought of it fair to give you a trial, because of your injuries, it should be most interesting. I can see it now!: "Inuyasha vs The segregation rights of realistic homosapians!" A-HE-HE-HE-HE! I'll be watching it from my television!"
"WHAT?!?! We're suing?!? My blood donor?!? You've gottah be kidding me! Donating blood is generous enough! There must be some other way he can... OW!!"
I had been protesting so hard, I had mangled my stitches again. Inuyasha glanced at me through the corner of his eye once more.
"Come on guys have a heart!"
They looked toward Inuyasha, Sonic pondering.
"Well....he did hurt my pet... err.. I mean friend..." He said quickly, seeing the threatening look on my face. "But... he has had a long relationship as a pal of Knuckles... How do you guys think he should pay for the surgery?"
There was more pondering, and then. Knuckles looked toward Inuyasha with an evil grin on his face.
"Why don't we put him through the same crap I'm having to go through! Welcome To the club agent #2!"
"Wait....what?" Inuyasha suddenly looked up at Knuckles, confused.
"OH! Yea...didn't you hear?!? You just slaughtered a poor, defenseless,...A-Him!... DFN agent..." Knuckles sputtered.
"WHAT?!?!? I HATE humans! I loath humans! Please! PLEASE!!! Reconsider the trial!!! I rather pay millions of dollars, then spend a portion of MY life working for that!!!" he said, pointing towards me, rudely.
"Well, it's settled then! I think that'll be enough punishment for ya'. You seem to be hating it well enough."
Inuyasha gogged with his mouth open, but said no more.

WEEEEE!!!! Another chapter!
Just so that you guys know, after this part of the dream occurred, I was feeling ill, so I went to the doctors' to see what was wrong,...and he was quite surprised to see that I had somehow gotten a cut on the inside of my stomach!!!...yeah.

GIVE YOURSELF A PAT ON THE BACK!!! Because of you guys, this has become my most popular fic. on ff .net!!!! YEY!!!

On another note, I've been getting a lot of e-mail and reviews asking if I can "visit dreams" or , that someone is having a similar dream then I. Here's a list to check off to see if these statements are true based on personal experience:

1. (most importantly) You have the dream as a continuous story EVERY NIGHT

2. You begin to crave strange food, and not just MASH ether, here's a list to some of my strange cravings:

peanut butter and oatmeal
raw sardines
cans of tuna
bowls with nothing but sugar
spoonfuls of honey
Chinese soup noodles
pickles and vanilla ice cream
sushi
tofuti
carnation breakfast
spinach
cucumbers (just as they are)
tic-tacks
(the list goes on and on)

3. you fight something in your dream, and wake up with scars that weren't on your body before.

4. No one believes you

5. you laugh at strange times of the day...like when you are scared, or sad

6. You hear dream personnel talking about the same cities I mention in this story

7. You wake up exhausted every morning

8. You feel like you never went to sleep when you wake up from the dream.

9.ect.,ect. (you get the idea)

Anyway, I own a c2 for Sonic crossovers now. I would be much obliged if anyone wanted to become a member!
(e-mail me if you do!!!)
