Kumori Fox

Chapter 2

I awoke in the tree I fell asleep in. I felt sick, so sick that I wanted to puke. The death of my parents had scarred me in a way that could not be possible to others. I sighed and got down from the tree. I looked at the beautiful scenery that surrounded me. "They really wanted to visit here or even live here." I said to myself.

I headed off to back to Knuckles' house to get a shower and some breakfast. After I was done taking my shower I went into the kitchen to find a quite large pile of fruit. Despite the fact that I was really hungry I just could not eat. The pain of my parents death haunted my mind . I started to remember the good times there were. The time we spent at the beach. That was the day before they died. Sometimes I would just want to kill myself to make the pain go away. Though I knew that my parents would rather see me live my life with or without them. Plus what would my cousin Tail's think, or my best friends Sonic and Shadow. Knuckles snapped me out of my thoughts. "Well man I guess we gotta back Daruk's house. Hopefully you can stay here cuz I know that there is no more space at Chris' house." said Knux, laughing.

"I guess." I groaned.

"Chin up, I'm sure that if you can't stay that Rouge and Shadow will let you live with them." said Knux.

I didn't care I just wanted to be with my parents again. I know that they are watching me from the heavens and are always by my side. Again Knuckles snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Well lets get going." said Knux.

"Sure, just hold my hand." I said.

Knuckles held my hand firmly. "You'll feel a slight pull in your chest." I warned.

"Daruk's House, Angel Island" I thought. I closed my eyes and opened them to see Knuckles puking his guts out.

"Oh, sorry about that. Forgot to mention that you might feel sick afterwards, but don't worry you'll get used to it after a couple of times." I explained.

"Thanks BARF I feel better already." said Knux groggily.

Knuckles spit one last time. We entered the main hall to be greeted by the same blue echidna. " You guys again. You know where to go." he said.

Again we entered the main chamber of Daruk's house. "Hello again, Knuckles and Kumori. I'm sure you are here to see if Kumori can stay on Angel Island. Well my councilmen and I have looked into his situation and decided that he may stay. He will attend Angel Isle High School tomorrow. Now that you know this, Knuckles may you leave I wish to speak to Kumori alone." said Daruk.

"As you wish Leader Daruk." said Knux.

Knuckles exited through the door leaving me alone with Daruk. "So this is the son of my friend Manak. You look just look just like your father when he was a sophomore in high school." said Daruk smiling.

I was shocked to hear the name of my father. "Y-y-you knew my father?" I stuttered.

"Of course he was my best friend. Well I will get back to that later. I have some things to tell you. First I must know do you transform into your wolf form every full moon?" asked Daruk.

"Yes." I answered.

"Secondly I know that a young and growing fox/wolf must eat some meat every now and then, so from now on twice a week you must come see me alone and at night to have dinner with me." said Daruk.

I nodded because he was right. Mom always did the same when she was around.

"Lastly, I wanted to tell you that I am your godfather and that you are allowed to see me at anytime. Well farewell and I will see you some other time." finished Daruk.

I was speechless. All I could do was walk out and think about what I just heard. "A godfather, here?" I asked myself.

"What did you say?" asked Knux.

"Nothing." I answered quickly, "Lets get outta here."

Knuckles grabbed my hand. This time a little tighter than before. I teleported us back to Knuckles' house to relax for the day. "Well so far so good, though, there is one last thing I must do." I said to myself, looking at the cloth sack fill with my parents remains.

I took the sack and walked to a nearby cliff and dug a hole. I emptied the sack into the and filled it back up. I then walked away. "Saraba hahaoya ken otokooya" I said as I walked away, crying.

That was a real tear-bringer. Ashamed to say it, but I even cried while writing this. Well here is a Buddha quote. The reason I give this is because Buddha has taught me many things.

A man is not to be considered a good man just because he is an able talker.

Well I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Stay tuned.
