Me: LOOK DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN?!? I DON'T OWN ANY ONE HERE, OKAY!!!!!!????? (excluding Pluto, Cherry, and Dao)
Tails: You're continuing this?
Me: Yup I got so many good comment I'm putting in another chapter
The young fox slowly opened his eyes. He yawned and noticed the hedgehog he fell asleep hugging was still snoring silently. He slowly crawled out of bed, careful not to wake up the blue one. He put on his shoes and gloves then tip-toed out of the room. He closed the door quietly and walked down into the kitchen to get something to eat. I suppose since I'll be living here, it would be okay for me to have at the fridge. Tails thought and opened the fridge. It was pretty empty, there was a few chili dogs in tub aware containers and a bag of apples in the bottom dower. He opened the dower and grabbed one of the red apples. He put it near his mouth to take a bite but paused when a bad memory came back to him.
He was sitting behind a trashcan, eating the scraps of bread he had found in it, when a white female cat walked by. She was holding a red apple that hadn't been bitten into yet. Miles quickly hid behind the trashcan out of fear of being hit, as some did when they saw him. The cat stopped next to the can and bit into the apple, the kitsune could hear how juicy it was. His mouth started to fill with saliva and he couldn't help peeking out from behind the can. As he saw the cat chewing the apple he started to drool at the sight.
He was so hungry and the bread scraps were not filling him. The ivory cat glanced in his direction and he quickly put himself out of sight, but she had already saw him. "Hello there." she said warmly. Tails stayed out of sight hoping she would leave. "It's alright. Come on out." she said, knowing he was there. Miles crawled out, but revealed only his head and not his twin tails. "You can have it if you want it." the feline said offering him the apple.
He looked at the apple then up at her. Her emerald eyes looked kind and loving. The fox was hungry and emerged himself completely to get the fruit. But, as soon as the cat saw his two tails, her eyes turned from kind and loving to full of shock and fear. She took a step back, violently threw the apple at the kitsune and took of in the other direction. Tails thought he heard her scream something about a demon as she ran away. Tails gabbed the apple and retreated behind the trashcan. He hungrily ate the apple, core and all. while tears streamed uncontrollably down his muzzle. Why do they hate me so much? he asked himself. Sure kitsunes are uncommon, but they aren't unheard of.
Thoughts of that day made his eyes water. He suddenly gasped as he had a good thought. Wait a minute...maybe now that I'm with Sonic people will like me! he took a bite of the apple and smiled. Footsteps were heard behind him he turned around to see Sonic stretching sleepily. "Mornin' Tails" he said through a yawn "Good morning Sonic!" Tails greeted.
He took another bite of the apple and noticed for the first time it tasted sour. "Uh, how long have you had these?" he asked. "'Bout six months, why?" he said. Tails made a "bleh" sound as he stuck out his tong and threw the expired apple in the trash. "You're not supposed to keep things that long you know." the fox told him. "Yeah, whatever." the hedgehog said waving of the comment. "How would you know anyway?" Sonic asked.
"Because I have-" Tails stopped as he remembered something. "Sonic! I have to go back to my tree in the park!" he nearly screamed. "Huh, why? You forget something?" Sonic asked. Tails nodded "It's important!" he said. The blue hedgehog gave a cocky grin and said "Aright. Let's go!" he picked the fox up and ran out the door.
He raced to the park, it wasn't raining but there were still a few puddles from the previous day. He was running to the park woods when he saw his only weakness: a chili dog stand. "Get 'em hot! Get 'em, while they're hot!" yelled the vender who was a male dark green walrus. Sonic stopped in his tracks and licked his lips. "Uh you can find your way, right?" he asked Tails as he set him down. Miles nodded and headed to the edge of the woods meanwhile Sonic headed to the stand saying "Time for breakfast!".
Tails made his way thought the trees he knew so well until he came to the hollow tree he once called home. He got on his hands and knees and crawled halfway in. He saw what he had come for, a large red book the cover reading The Book of Everything. "There you are." he muttered and reached for the book. But before he could grab it someone grabbed him.He gasped as he was dragged out by his twin tails. "Well if it isn't the little demon." said the one who was pulling him. Tails looked behind himself to see the male indigo hippo, nicknamed Pluto for his size and shape.
He was only known to Tails as the ten-year-old that would beat him regularly. He could never fight back because of his size and age so he never even bothered to try. His grip loosened for a second and Miles was able to get up and back away. He looked at the hippo, and unfortunately he had brought his friends. Cherry the female crimson mink and Dao the male gray panda, they all eyed him with hatred. "Where'd ya get the shoes and gloves, freak?" Cherry asked in a threatening voice "steal 'em again?". The kitsune trembled at her tone of voice, it was the voice she always used before beating him.
"I didn't steal them I never steal anything. People just throw them away." Miles explained. "Besides they were given to me by my..." Tails hesitated to say the word "...brother." he said finally. At first they were dead silent, but it wasn't long until they all burst into a cruel fit of laughter. "The demon think it's got a brother!" Dao said in between laughs, Cherry simply held her sides from amusement. Pluto chucked and said "If you got a brother were is he?" Tails was silent.
"HA!! I knew it you were lying, that or you've just gone insane!" the hippo taunted. "Enough talking!" Dao shouted. "Yeah, let's just kick his butt already!" Cherry agreed. They started to move towards him, ready to attack. Stall them a little longer. Just a little longer! Tails yelled in his head. "He'll come soon, and-and he'll-" Tails started but was cut off by Dao "What? Beat us up?" "Yeah right!" the mink said. Pluto was only a couple feet away from him. He bent over and pick up a good sized rock. He tossed it up a few times, then threw it straight at his face. The stone would have left a large burse on contact, hadn't it been caught by a blue blur; who had gotten in between the fox and the hippo.
He put the stone to his side and dropped it on the ground. "I don't appreciate you bullying my brother." Sonic said coolly. They simply stared at the hedgehog in confusion. "...The demon was...telling the truth?" Pluto said disbelief. "Don't call him a demon!" Sonic shouted, angrily eyeing the hippo. The hippo snapped out of his disbelief and laughed at the hedgehog in a mad(crazy mad) way. Dao and Cherry looked to their friend in confusion "What's so funny?" the panda asked. "Yeah what's with the weird laugh?" Cherry asked.
"Don't you dare defend that monster!" Pluto yelled. Tails was surprised He's never called me that before. He's called me a freak and a demon but not a monster he thought. There was silence between the five mobians. "That thing killed-" the hippo was cut off. "PLUTO!" Cherry yelled trying to stop her friend. Pluto eyed the mink with a cold and series look that made her shiver. "H-Hey man, let's just forget the fox and go home 'k?" Dao said trying to calm him down. He growled then suddenly blurted out what he needed to say "That thing KILLED MY YOUNGER BROTHER!!!".
There was silence...
"Wh-Wha!?" Tails stuttered. "Pluto don't!" Cherry yelled "You don't know that for sure!" "I know what I saw!" he yelled back. "I was there when he was murdered!" he said to Sonic and Tails. "It was dark but I saw something yellow with two fox tails butcheringhim!" The hippo started to shiver at the memory. "If you don't want to be slaughtered, you'll get rid of that thing!" he said pointing to the fox. "That's not true, Sonic! I'm just a kid how could I kill someone?!" Miles pleaded. Sonic didn't say anything "Sonic..." Tails said.
Sonic had to think. I haven't even known this kid for a full day yet, can I really entirely trust him yet? Though at the same time Pluto seems like the kind of kid that would lie to get what he wanted. But to he sounded so serious. Cherry and Dao seem really serious as well. I know...I know for almost certainPluto is telling the truth, or at least believes he is. When I really think about it, there must me a hundred reasons to get rid of Tails...I can only think of one real reason not to...But...
"I think you're being honest about what you saw, Pluto." Sonic said finally, Tails looked terrified. "But...I am notgoing to give up my little brother!" he said bravely. Everyone, including Tails, seemed very surprised at the comment. The only reason Sonic had not to get rid of Tails was that they were brothers. But that was more than enough reason for him. The hippo scoffed "Fine then. If you won't hand it over, we'll take it force!" he declared. "You'll have to get though mefirst!" Sonic said getting into a fighting stance. Dao chuckled at the thought "There are three of us and only one of you, STUPID!!" he said. "I know, I feel sorry for you." he said with confidence. Pluto smirked and cried "Get 'em!".
"CHARGE!!!" Cherry yelled. The three ran full speed at the one. The hedgehog curled into a ball and began to spin in place rapidly. After a second he flung into the group at an incredible speed. They were pushed back a few feet and the hedgehog said to the fox "Tails! Get some were safe!". The fox obeyed and ran for shelter in the hollow tree. The three quickly stood up and immediately searched the ground for something to use as a weapon. Pluto and Cherry got good sized branches, but Dao was able to find a piece of wooden board someone had discarded. They ran at the hedgehog, their weapons at the ready, while he used another spin attack and went for them as well.
Pluto gave a good swing and was able to knock Sonic back, and he crashed into a tree. He let an "ow" escape his lips as he stood back up, and touched the back of his head. He felt blood, but he didn't let that stop him as he ran head on at Pluto, attempting to punch him in the face. But Pluto ducked at the last second and hit Sonic's legs, sending him face first into the dirt and leaves. He moaned as he pushed himself up only to be knocked down again by Dao's board. At this point the three pounded on the poor hedgehog with their makeshift weapons. The blue one tried to crawl away, only to be pulled back from his legs by Cherry.
The kitsune, who was watching from his hiding spot was shaking with terror. Not only because once Sonic was unconscious they would come after him, but for his poor brother. Who was being beaten harshly, simply for defending him. Soon Tails was covering his eyes and sobbing to himself, unable to even watch the horrible event. He desperately wanted to do something, but what could he do? He was just a little kid fox who was curse with a second tail. Then suddenly Tails gasped, as he remembered something Sonic had told him when they met.
It was a long shot that, in Tails' opinion, wouldn't work. But if there was even a slight chance he could help him he would gladly take it...so he tried. He crawled in front of the tree and spun his twin tails in a helicopter type style as fast as he possibly could. None of the other kids noticed him lifting off the ground and rising up to the top of the tree trunk. Once he was at the right angle he swooped down to were Sonic laid and took hold of his hands. With all his might he lifted Sonic off the ground and flew a safe distance away.
"Heh, told ya you could fly." the bloody and bruised hedgehog said weekly. The fox got tired quickly and set him down only about ten feet from the bullies. They stood stunned, and opened mouthed at the kitsune who had just flew over there heads. Pluto soon snapped back to reality and growled. "Fine! You wanna be killed by that demon," he pointed a Tails "then go ahead!". "C'mon let's go." the hippo half said, half muttered to his friends. He attempted to say it like he had chosen to retreat on his own decision, but everyone saw right through him. The three walked away, defeated.
Sonic and Tails were both silent for a moment. "Well?" Sonic said breaking the silence. "Huh?" Tails said looking up at him. "Aren't you gonna get the thing you came for?" Sonic asked. "Oh yeah!" He said, nearly forgetting what he had come to get. He ran to the tree and crawled inside, he grabbed the large book and crawled back out. "The Book of Everything? Never heard of it." Sonic commented. "This book is why I know so much." Tails said looking at the dirty, red cover. Sonic simply shrugged and said "Let's just go home."
As Sonic walked away Tails saw that he was covered in burses and blood. He had only gotten that way from defending him, Tails felt an over whelming guilt inside of him. He decided he had to get stronger and more useful. The fox smiled and then nodded at the thought. "Hey you comin'?" Sonic asked him from were he was. "Y-Yeah!" he called to him. He caught up with him and they walked home.
When they were just near the house door Sonic heard a familiar yet annoying voice. "SONIKKU!!!" It cried. Sonic winced at the sound and muttered "crud". A second later a pink female hedgehog ran up to Sonic nearly tackled him as she hugged him. "Owowowowowww!" Sonic yelped. The pink hedgehog just then noticed his wounds and released him. She said "Oh my goodness, Sonic I'm so sorry! What happened?!". "L-Long story." he replied weakly.
"U-Um..." Tails stuttered shyly. The pink hedgehog, noticing for the first time the small fox clutching the book said "Oh you must be a friend of Sonic's!". "Let me introduce myself, I'm Amy, Amy Rose." She said slightly bowing at him "I'm Sonic's girlfriend!".
