Chapter 4 ~ Return of the Werehog
-separater-
A/n:
There is gonna be a major time skip in this chapter. I thought I would clear that up now. It'll be kind of confusing otherwise. I don't feel like reading reviews that say 'I'm confused cause the time line is weird.'

It has been six months since I found Onyx in that burning building. Since then I've been trying to keep my feelings in check. I know there is something, but I don't want to believe it. He's my friend, and I don't want to lose him. He's an android, but who knows if he swings that way …
I sat next to the blue hedgehog at the table in the kitchen. It had been so long since I'd first met him, I thought I had known him forever by now. The rest of my memory was fucked up still. It was proving much harder than anticipated to get information about Sinistra Robotnik. I had also been unable to hack the file on Sonic. Both facts were frustrating, but because I had Sonic there it was better.
How exactly did I feel about Sonic? Was the warm feeling I got when around him affection? Love? It could even be something more …
I have been fighting my programming since I was able to function well enough. I had managed to not kill Amy Rose, but it'd been close a few times. That stupid bitch just wouldn't leave Sonic alone. Regardless of how I felt about him, he was not interested in her, and she should back off. But, alas, she does not know the meaning of "back off."
The cell phone Tails had bought for Sonic vibrated on the table as the blue one prepared breakfast. I growled and tapped a button. Written in pink was a message from Amy.
"Sonic, you might want to read this." I said. He turned off the stove and came to look at his phone.
"What does she want now?" he muttered as I held up the device.
"'angel island … Knuckles and I tried to stop it … chaos is dying … the balance is corrupted … Must fix … Sonic … We need you …'"
"And what does she mean by that?" I asked. The hedgehog had explained about the chaos emeralds and the master emerald but this made no sense. From what Sonic had said, Amy barely understood the concept in the first place.
"That's a good question. It was bad the last time this happened." Said Sonic. I gave him a questioning look.
I sighed and put down my phone. I placed the food I'd cooked onto two plates and shoved one to Onyx.
"This has happened a few times. The first was when Shadow appeared." I said. In all the time he'd been here Shadow had only been mentioned once. It had been by an angry Amy, and I had thrown her out of the house afterward. Considering the way I acted when she mentioned the black hedgehog Onyx had thankfully not asked.
"Shadow?"
"Shadow … he was my clone … for a lack of a better word. He was created by Eggman's grandfather Jerald Robotnik to be a cure for his daughter Maria. Unfortunately she was killed along with the rest of the colony." I said.
"Colony?"
"They lived on a space station called ark. An organization called G.U.N. killed them. I don't know much else about his past …"
"Why not? If he was your clone …"
"Onyx he was supposed to be the ultimate life form … and he was …"
I blinked and tilted my head to the side. Ultimate life form? Wait ...
"Ultimate life form? As in Project Shadow?" I asked. There was no answer. I glanced at Sonic and saw that his face was grave. It was almost as if someone had died. Like this 'shadow' was dead.
"Sonic?"
"… he was my rival. Calling him a friend would be a bit out there. It was more like ally when it fit him. I never wished him to …"
"Is he dead?"
"I don't know. His body was pretty much destroyed though. Eggman's robots took it with them and I haven't seen him since."
"How long ago was that?" I found myself asking.
"Eight months ago I think …"
I looked down and couldn't meet his eyes. I busied myself with the food he had made and forced some down my throat. It wasn't that it tasted bad, but there were times I didn't want to eat. The food gave me little energy, but I did so to make Sonic and Tails feel better. A few minutes later the blue hedgehog started eating, and I smiled across the table at him.
"I'm sure if he were here he'd still want to race with you." I said. He hadn't mentioned racing but if Shadow had been his rival …
"You remind me a lot of him actually. He wasn't a bio-creature though. I think you might be a bit faster than he was too. You've actually beaten me a few times." He said with a smile.
"When I'm low on chaos or dead tired you can still beat me." I said. He nodded and finished the food on his plate.
"I guess so." He said, grabbing my empty plate and putting them both in the sink.
"Maybe." I said, running a hand over the scar on my left arm. It had become a habit, to run my hand over that scar. I got up and made my way to the bathroom for a shower. Sonic went in after me and I walked to the bedroom we now shared.
I pulled on the black gloves Ibought and modified. I decided to make it a bit easier to control my chaos energy by placing silver rings into the fabric. It had taken quite a while to make it work but it was a great asset now. I slipped on my black boots and leaned against the wall. These boots had been something I'd found the design for in a file on my 'hard drive.'
They were as blak as my eyes but held silver as well. Silver seemed to conduct chaos energy better than gold, at least for me anyway. I closed my eyes and imagined … something green … something blue ... a combination of which fit perfectly together …
Before I could figure out what my brain was trying to tell me Sonic walked into the room. He tossed his towel onto the bed and sat down. The water slid down his body, making it seem shiny. I couldn't take my eyes off him, and found myself grabbing the towel.
"Having trouble?" I asked. He shook his head, getting water droplets on the sheets and on me. I gave him a playful glare and started to dry his quills.
"Amy send you another love message …?" I whispered into a blue ear. He shivered and leaned back into me.
Anyone else would probably be freaking out from my behavior, but this was normal for us.
"No … just stressed. There are other possible explanations for her message. That is if she's not just doing that for attention again …"
"She's done it before?" I asked, horror in my voice.
"There was a time when she'd do anything to get my attention. In the last year she's just tried to beat you at practically everything. It's ridiculous."
"No fucking kidding. The only person I would concede defeat to is you." I said, rubbing the same ear I'd spoken into. He shivered again and sighed.
"What else do you think happened?" I asked a few minutes later.
"Once Eggman tried to destroy the world with the chaos emeralds. It could be that. Shadow's friend Maria Robotnik wanted him to get revenge for her death. The seven chaos emeralds would allow the ark to fall to earth, which would destroy a large part of it. That wasn't what she meant, but with his drive for revenge and amnesia that's what he tried to do."
"And?"
"It nearly worked. Rouge convinced him otherwise and I helped him to return the ark to earth's orbit." He said. He'd told me about Rouge once, when he'd told me about Knuckles. Amy'd mentioned the achidna and I was curious.
"There is another possibility right? With this 'shadow' gone it can't be that …" I said.
"… there is another …"
"Yes?"
"Eggman was behind it too … He used some strange ray to render the chaos emeralds useless. Then he awakened Dark Gaia to destroy the world. His plan was to force people to be his slaves or something in return for their safety I think. It's kind of hard to tell with him." Said Sonic.
"Dark Gaia … what exactly did 'it' do?"
"Dark Gaia split the earth's continents further than they already are. In short, it split apart the world. Eggman ruled from his 'base' Egg Land or what is now England. He has no creativity." The blue one said with a laugh. I chuckled as I finished drying off his quills.
"What else did Dark Gaia do?The world isn't like that now. There must have ben a way to stop it right?"
"There was-"
A tremor wracked the house, stopping any response he might give. I rushed to the window and saw that the street outside was fucked up. A few buildings were now falling apart, and there was debris in the street. It was uncertain whether our house had been affected in the same manner.
What is the status of this area?:
:With all of the technology I can just answer your question … The surrounding buildings are pretty much totaled, and the inhabitants dead. The security system and superior architecture of the building you and Sonic are in prevented you from being killed.:
Can you tell me exactly what caused that … quake?:
:Not for sure. The house will not be able to take much more …:
"Sonic?" I asked, seeing the hedgehog frozen to the spot. He blinked and then grabbed my hand.
"We have to get out of here." He said.
"Where are we going to go? It's not going to be safe anywhere in this city. That quake hit the surrounding buildings, and if it happens again we may not survive."
"I know, that's why we're leaving the city." He said. What?
"Then where are we going?"
"Angel island." Was the simple response.
"How exactly do we get there?" Onyx asked from beside me as we ran at high speeds. I remembered just then that he'd never been there.
"That's what this emerald is for." I said, pulling the blue emerald from my quills.
"You had this the whole time and didn't say anything? I should hit you." Said the red hedgehog.
"Try catching me first Onyx." I said with a mischevious grin, upping my speed. He growled and increased his own speed as he followed me.
We made our way through a cave and came out on the other side. Once we'd cleared it I grabbed onto him and stopped.
"How're we getting there from here?" he asked.
"That's right … I never told you how to use an emerald before … Just watch me." I said as I held the emerald in my hand.
"Chaos control!"
I disappeared ina flash of light and waited to gauge his reaction.
My eyes widened as I heard him say those words. They struck something deep inside of me, something that wanted to be released. I clutched my head and then fought back the pain. Sonic appeared behind me and shoved me. I turned around and gripped his wrist so hard he nearly dropped the emerald.
"I was playing around Onyx. No need to attack me." He said.
"If I was trying to attack you wouldn't you be flat on your ass right now?" I asked, remembering the last time we'd sparred. I had liked seeing him on his ass way too much …
"Sure … Onyx?"
"Huh?"
"What's wrong? What did I do this time?"
"That … those words … it's like I've heard them before …" I said.
"Heard them before? It's not like I mumble 'chaos control' in my sleep or anything right?"
I decided not to tell him that he did. It had happened a lot actually.
"Let's just go." I said.
"How do you plan on getting there? I don't know if I can take more than one person with this …" he said, holding up the blue emerald.
"No problem," I said with a smirk. He smirked back and shouted out "Chaos control!"
I closed my eyes and found the core of chaos energy in my body.
"Chaos control!" I said as I followed him. This 'angel island' better not be inhabited by crazy pink hedgehogs …

When we landed I had a really bad headache. It was so loud here, which was probably not normal. I opened my eyes and blinked.
"Sonic!" I shouted as a robotic arm nearly slammed him to the ground. With my warning he managed to dodge just in time.
"Thanks," he said.
"Let's take these robots down." I said.
"Robots? I only see one." He said. I gestured toward the forest as three more robots appeared. He groaned and prepared for a fight.
A quick scan of my systems told me that I'd be fine to fight. I took two and Sonic took the other two. In five minutes flat all four robots were either destroyed [in my case] or completely off line thanks to Sonic.
"Not too bad." He said.
"You didn't do too bad yourself Sonic." I said, rubbing one of his shoulders. He tensed and then relaxed when nothing moved in the trees.
"There are no others in the immediate area." I told him, licking one of his ears. Watching him fight had been amazing, and I wanted more robots to come so I could watch him do it again. It made something below my waist hot … and I did not understand why …
When he leaned into me I nearly fell over.
"Onyx?"
"Huh?" I managed, trying to keep from repeating the previous action to his ear.
"You okay?"
"I think so … just confused …"
"About what?"
"I … I'll tell you later. There are still robots here, and if Amy is here I'm sure we're going to need to make earplugs." I said. He grinned and ran a hand threw the quills just below my neck.
I couldn't hold back the soft growl that came from my lips. He stared at me, with a questioning look, and then he surprised me. He turned around, gripped my shoulders tightly, and pressed our lips together. For a moment I just stood there shocked, but as he leaned into me I begun to respond. The little information I had about a relationship like this didn't really help me right now, so I improvised. That's what most people did anyway … right?
It had to end a lot faster than I would have liked. Unfortunately non-bio-creatures still needed to breathe. I could do so myself, but it wasn't really that necessary. I mostly did so to seem 'normal' and not have to anser a lot of annoying questions.
"… Onyx … I'm sorry …"
"Why? You've wanted to do that for a while now haven't you?"
"What?"
"You heard what I said. I can't deny that I feel the same way, and I am not just talking about what some call 'lust.'"
"Onyx … are you sure? I mean … we don't have to-"
"Shut up." I said, pushing him against a nearby tree and crashing our lips together once more. He gasped into the kiss, but responded immediately. I wound my claws into the quills on his back as he circled his arms around my waist. I pressed into him, which made him start purring in the back of his throat.
I found myself growling again as he rubbed my neck. When we drew apart I growled loudly.
"Onyx?"
"Raise your quills." I said.
"Why?"
I didn't answer verbally, rather opting for a Chaos Spear instead. The robot that had tried to creep up on us fell to the ground with a muffled thud.
"You heard it … while we were …?" asked the blue hedgehog. I nodded and closed my eyes.
I couldn't feel any robots but that didn't mean they weren't there. I hadn't noticed that one until it was almost upon us.
"Sonic? Have you fought any of Robotnik's robots in the last eight months?"
"No, why?"
"What if they're made to be undetectable, or maybe not made by him at all …"
"What are you trying to say?" he asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"What if another … Robotnik is behind it?"
"Another Robotnik? I thought he mentioned a cousin or two once … That's not possible …"
"I think it might be." I said.
"Huh?"
"I recognize the symbols etched into the armor of this robot. I think the same was on the robots I fought. They're scrap metal so we'll have to check the ones you put off-line." I said, checking the other two mostly intact robots. Sure enough the same symbol was there: the sword. The very same sword design [less ornate] that was scarred into the flesh of my right leg.
"This is the work of Sinistra Robotnik." I said.
"Who?"
"The one who created me. If she was able to create me with chaos energy these robots might …" I said. There was a loud whirring noise as something big cqame from the sky. I knocked Sonic to the ground as it passed over our heads. No matter what that was, and it was likely the enemy, it was a good idea to be cautious.
The noise got louder as something landed behind us. I got up and growled, helping Sonic up as I did so. I saw an orange-ish-yellow figure coming toward us but did not relax.
"Sonic?"
"Tails?"
"I was looking for you. I got a message from Amy and tried to finish the upgrades to the Tornado as quickly as possible." The fox kit said. I relaxed a bit but did not lower my guard completely. There could still be something trying to kill us.
We got into the Tornado and started to fly around the island in search of Knuckles and Amy. Tails was a good driver, but I would have probably been more comfortable if I were driving. He was just a kid, and even though I didn't know how old I was, it didn't matter. I was programmed to fight, fly airships, and most importantly to follow orders. But as I have been doing, I can disobey programming and ignore orders.
It was two hours later when something exciting finally happened. I had been lying against Sonic's shoulder, relishing in the warmth and feel of his body against mine. Tails had given us weird looks but dismissed it quickly. First it was a burning smell and then the Tornado tilted dangerously.
Before either Sonic or I could ask what was going on another tilt sent us spiraling. Tails tried to get a hold of the controls but it was no use. We were falling, and were going to crash. No amount of trying would stop that.
I grabbed Sonic and got on top of him. He squeaked but shut up as something made the Tornado explode. My body was slightly singed but I was mostly alright. Sonic was blushing but fine and we could not see Tails.
"Tails?" asked Sonic.
"I'm … okay … Get out of here and find Amy and Knuckles. I'll see if I can fix anything." Said the fox. We both nodded and tried to get out of the ruined plane.
This proved much harder than it should. The wall nearest to us had been turned into scrap metal, with sharp edges, and was still smoking. I shrugged and threw Sonic over my shoulders. I jumped, and managed to clear most of the metal. What I couldn't clear I destroyed with my claws. We emerged, myself with bloody claws, but otherwise fine. I sighed and let Sonic down, scanning the area for possible enemies.
I tossed Sonic onto the ground as a robot fired at us. He smiled at me in thanks, and I nodded. Six robots surrounded us, and I could almost see the chaos energy that fueled them.
"Sonic punches and kicks probably won't do a whole lot." I warned. He nodded and got into a fighting stance beside me. I faced the robots and glared. This was going to be fun, and I wanted to relish every fucking second of it. Fighting was what I was created for.
We fought like crazy. I had been right, most physical attacks didn't do much. Our quills could cut through the metal, but there were only a few attacks we could do with them. Not to mention the robots were fucking fast. It almost seemed like they were warping reality or something. What the fuck?
I grit my teeth as another robotic claw cut into me. I was covered in slashes, but that's only because I don't care about getting injured. As long as the robots were destroyed why try to keep my body intact? It'll just heal itself anyway … It's not like these things can kill me.
I cringed as I saw Sonic get slashed by one of the robots. I was doing okay, but Sonic wasn't built to get slashed up. I slammed my fist into a robot and stole it's gun. The design seemed vaguely familiar but there was no time for analysis. I fired the gun at the closest robot, searing a gaping hole in its neck. The other robots noticed and aimed their weapons at me. I smirked and fired the laser gun again.
They all fired, and all missed. I jumped into the trees above them and fired at them. Sonic seemed stunned for a moment and just stood there. Then he dodged as a laser almost hit him. It had been from the stolen gun I held, but as long as he could dodge that was all that mattered right now.
I growled and dodged as a robot fired at me. It was a good thing too because Sonic was now in trouble. Under normal circumstances he would probably have been fine, but he was losing a lot of blood. I pushed him to the ground and stood in front of his aching body. I raised the gun and fired as a robot came toward me. I had been a bit off because its arm was the only thing that was seared by the laser's beam.
Its other arm slammed into me, shattering the bones in my left arm. The dominant. Fuck! I staggered and tried to stay upright as pain lanced through my body. It hurt so much, and I couldn't even tell a single person why. None of the cuts hurt this much, hell, none of the burns had even hurt this much …
My energy was fading fast, and a quick scan told me I shouldn't even be fighting right now. I hissed in pain as one of the remaining three robots tossed me to the ground beside Sonic. I reached over to my left shoulder and pressed down on the skin. The shoulder had been pulled out of its socket, and short of a medic there wasn't a lot I could do. Then I remembered something. I pressed harder against my shoulder and heard the bones snap painfully. If I could just damage it enough I could get that ring out …
It was all I could do to keep from crying out. A gold ring appeared, the size of the silver rings that adorned my gloves and boots, and it would help. With my condition though, I would be even worse than Sonic right now.
"Sonic?"
"… yeah …?"
"Can you still fight?"
"I think so …"
"I am nearly out of chaos energy. I need you to take this." I said, holding up the ring. He slid it onto his wrist and stood up. Power seemed to flow around him, and I marveled at the sight. He pulled out the blue emerald and held it tightly. Then he did something I wasn't expecting.
He put the emerald beside me and leapt into the fight. I clasped my good hand around the gem and held onto it. Its power might help a bit, but I really needed to rest and sleep. I watched Sonic lazily, as a azor sharp piece of metal speared my forehead. The fur and skin split, dripping blood into my eyes.
Sonic slammed the last robot to the ground and came back to me.
"… Onyx?"
"Yeah?"
"You alright?"
"I used up too much energy. How I managed to do that without even using a Chaos Spear I don't know. There must be something about those robots. They seemed to know most of what I was going to do before I even tried."
"…"
"The reason you were able to defeat them is most likely because Sinistra does not know anything about you." I said. He nodded and gently pried the emerald from my grip.
"Did this help at all?"
"No. It's bonded to you. It's not going to do any good. I would need to bond with my own emerald in order to gain its energy." I said. Another nod and the blue emerald was stashed away in his quills once more. His arms wrapped around me and he helped me to my feet.
"How bad is your arm?" he asked.
"At least two bones were shattered and the shoulder was pulled out of its socket." I replied.
"I should fix that first right? As fast as you heal that'd be what gets the most fucked up."
"Yeah." I said. He propped me up against a tree and gripped my wrist in one hand while the other held the area near my shoulder. He pushed, forcing the shoulder back into its rightful place, and causing me a whole lot of fucking pain.
"You okay?" he asked as I shut my eyes due to the pain.
"I've never felt so much pain in my life. It was worth it though …"
"What?"
"I was fighting for and with you …" I said, as everything started to go hazy.
"Onyx don't pass out on me." He said, an almost frantic tone to his voice. I tried to stay conscious, but it was no use.
-separater-
When I awoke it was almost dark outside. Sonic was next to me, trying to bandage the wounds he could get to.
"How bad?" I croaked.
"It could have been much worse. Other than a few exceptions I look a lot worse."
"Really …?"
"Yeah. Most of your minor wounds have healed, but I still have all of mine."
"Where's Tails?" I asked, reaching out and grasping one of his hands. He rubbed slow circles into my ungloved hand and smiled at me.
"He's still trying to fix the Tornado. It'll probably be a while."
"No sign of the achidna or Pinkie?"
"No … thank whatever god exists that we haven't found Amy yet."
"Why? Isn't she your friend?"
"Honestly … Not really ... after the schemes she's tried she's more like someone I can't stand, but also slightly admire for their persistence. Kind of like Jet." He said. I shifted closer to him, wanting to feel him against me. Getting the message he took me into his arms, rubbing the parts of my flesh that weren't so marred by healing wounds.
For some reason physical contact had become important for us. Even before earlier it'd been what could calm me down. It seemed to be something similar for the blue hedgehog. Why that was is hard to figure out, but it makes a bit more sense now. With what we did earlier, it just feels even more right.
"Sonic?"
"Yeah?"
"Does this make us …?"
"Well … what do you want earlier to mean Onyx?"
"… I don't want to make a decision without your consent." I said, hoping I was going about this the right way. I really had no experience at all …
"What do you want it to mean?"
"I … Sonic I can't deny how I feel. That'd be stupid, ridiculous, and get me nowhere."
"And that means what exactly?" he asked, a playful smirk on his lips.
"… Sonic …?"
"What?"
"I … love you. Trying to deny it anymore … it just doesn't work. I have no problem with being … what was it called again … gay?"
"Yeah that's what people call it. You sure?"
"If you ask me again I'll hit you."
"Really …?" he asked, kissing me softly. It was just enough to make me forget why I was slightly irritated.
I jerked slightly as I heard a noise. Sonic turned his head from me to the side to try and locate whatever had made me jump.
"… it's an achidna." I said.
It was probably that Knuckles Sonic had told me so much about. I've talked to him over the phone, but never face to face.
"Sonic?" asked the achidna. Sonic rubbed my ears in comfort and then laid me gently on the ground. He stood up and stared into the eyes of a red figure.
"What happened to you?"
"I … we were fighting some robots created by a cousin of Eggman's." I said, listening for any threats.
"You're so twitchy. What's your problem?" asked Knuckles.
"We were attacked in the forest. Onyx is good at tracking and finding hidden creatures and robots but he couldn't sense them at all." I said. I nearly jumped as Onyx snarled from the ground. I looked down to see his eyes had turned red, and they reminded me so much of Shadow at that moment.
"… pink hedgehog …" he growled, trying to stand. I was at his side immediately, one arm around his waist to keep him upright.
"That's right red hedgehog. It's me." Said a crazed voice. I glanced over in the direction of the voice to see Amy, clad in dark purple, and with twigs in her fur.
"What happened to you?" I asked.
"She wanted me to train her. It made her kind of crazy though …" Knuckles said, a hint of regret in his voice.
I looked to the sky and saw that it was nearly dark.
"Do you have a safe place for us to stay Knucks? I'm alright but cut up, and he's down for a while." I asked.
"Yeah, my hut is still intact. Would you like to be useful and show them where it is Amy?"
"… sure …" the girl replied, her voice that of a person bordering on insanity.
"… What about you?" asked Onyx.
"I am going to find some herbs to help heal you guys. It shouldn't take too long. Sonic?" the achidna asked as he started to walk away.
"Yeah?"
"Do you still have that blue emerald Chaos gave you?"
"Right here." I said, pulling the jewel out of my quills.
"If she gets too crazy feel free to use it on her. She responds rather well to them when she's trying to kill everything." He said and then left. Kill everything? What the fuck happened to her?
As we came to the place I knew Knuckles' hut was a shiver went down my spine. It wasn't like the ones I felt when I was around Onyx either. That's impossible … it can't …
I dug my claws into Sonic as we got to the hut. I did not like it here, and being around Pinkie was not helping. Something was very wrong here, and I wanted to take him away from here, even if I had to drag him kicking and screaming.
"Sonic we cannot stay here." I said.
"Wha …?"
He pried my hands away and bowed his back. He screamed, writhed, and then fell to the floor. I watched in awe as his limbs began to convulse and then mutate. It was painful just watching him, not to mention the screams and sobs that wracked his body. I wanted to comfort him, but I could barely stand up. I would do no good.
After what seemed like an hour, but was probably only a few minutes he stopped screaming. The screams turned to howls, and then he stood up. He was taller, [almost by a foot] had longer, shaggier fur, and he … he looked like some kind of wolf.
"Sonic?"
"… Onyx …?" he asked, the question sounding more like a demanding growl. I walked over to him and leaned my head against his chest. I pulled back for a moment, not wanting to hurt him with my raised quills, but they didn't seem to bother him.
"Sonic what …?"
"… Onyx … you should run …"
"No. I am not leaving you here with that pink bitch. She's psycho, and what am I supposed to do anyway? You think I can run like this?"
"… chaos …"
"Are you nuts? I try that and I'll either kill myself or knock myself out. The second, you told me not to do earlier."
"… run …"
"I am not running." I said firmly, meeting his lips with my own. I started a passionate kiss, but my limbs went numb almost instantly. I broke the kiss and sagged against him.
"… Onyx?"
"… too low on energy …" I muttered, cclinging to him. He moved us to the ground and held me in his lap. I snuggled into the soft fur of his chest and felt a spark. It wasn't just warmth either. Chaos energy?
I wasn't dreaming, he was full of it.
"Sonic?"
"Yeah?" he growled in that voice I was beginning to find kind of sexy.
"… just hold me …"
"Okay. You haven't lost your mind have you?"
"Your body has so much stored chaos …" I said, trying and failing to hold back the small moan of pleasure that came from me. I nuzzled into his neck, feeling more sparks. It was intoxicating, and I was barely touching him.
Amy came toward us as I stroked the sharpened quills on his back. I growled deep in my throat and glared at her.
"What do you want?" I asked, my voice a feral sound.
"Sonicu?"
"Fuck off Amy."
"Sonicu! C'mon! You know I'm the one who should be in your arms. I'm the one you want!"
"You're delusional." I said, pulling Onyx a bit away from me. He made a displeased noise, but shut up when I started rubbing the fur on his chest. His eyes closed, and my werehog ears picked up the faint sound of purring.
"Sonicu!"
"… Look at this Amy. I am the only one who can make him feel like this. Do you think I would give that up? No, especially not when I feel the same way."
"Sonicu! He's cast a spell on you!"
"Do you know how ridiculous you sound Rose?"
"You think he'll want you when he feels better? You think he'll want to be with someone who … looks like that?"
"And you would?" I snapped.
"… yes … Sonicu! I would want you no matter what!"
"Then why is there fear in your eyes? Scratch that, everything you do?"
"What?"
"I can smell the fear rolling off of you in waves. You're lying too." I said in a flat voice.
"Sonicu! I would never-"
"Stop lying." Onyx said, a blazing fire in his black orbs. That gaze was on me for a moment before it swiveled to her.
"… Sonicu! He will never want to be with a werehog." She said. Amy …
I blinked in confusion as the girl said 'werehog.'
"Werehog? What is she talking about?"
"That's what Dark Gaia did. I am pretty sure I'm the only one who was affected by it. I am like this at night. Why this is happening again I don't know."
"Sonic? Are you okay with it?" I asked. He nuzzled my chest and gave me a toothy grin.
"There's nothing I can do about it. Besides …" he said, nipping my left ear,
"… it's not like I can hurt you …"
I moaned, unable to stop myself. It seemed he was even more irresistible as a werehog. I latched my fangs around his throat and bit down hard. Instead of a cry of pain there was a growl that made me feel so hot. So dizzy … It was awesome …
I found myself growling in pleasure as he bit down on my neck. In my hedgehog form this would hurt like hell, but right now, it was entirely the opposite. If I didn't stop him I would keep this going. With his low energy and my cuts that would still be healing in the morning that was not a good idea. Although … we could definitely make Amy jealous. I would love to see what she tries to do when she sees us. It's not like she can actually hurt me, and especially not while I'm like this. Knuckles … even Shadow would have a hard time hurting me right now.
I laid the dark red hedgehog gently on the ground and latched my fangs onto his neck. I was trying to be careful anyway, but the sight of the blood that pooled around my fangs stopped me.
"… don't stop …" Onyx said, the sound of his voice making me want to claim him right there.
"I'm hurting you." I said.
"Nothing you can do is gonna be worse than what those robots did. I have actually been through worse than that. I have been through even worse than the first time you met me …"
"Onyx …"
"No. I said I'm not leaving, and that means not running off because there's a little more blood. Stop freaking out and keep going …" he said, licking his lips in a way that made me feel hotter.
I groaned and let my claws begin to rub at his chest fur. I licked at the blood on his neck and then bit down once more. This time there was less blood, and a lot more pleasure. The attention to his chest fur was making him squirm and purr, the action and the sound driving me mad. I gave his neck a rest and nipped at his left ear. He started growling, which made me even hornier. This was why I stayed away from others during the Dark Gaia incident before …
I pulled him into my arms and attacked his mouth with my own. He took a few seconds to respond but when he did it just made things even better. After a moment I licked at his bottom lip, asking for entrance. He eagerly opened for me, sliding his good hand along my stomach. As the kiss progressed it traveled lower and lower …
I gasped when we drew apart, his hand nearly to my groin now. He smirked and sunk his teeth into my collarbone, and then slid his hand down a few more inches and touched my length. He stroked me, slow, but not too gently. A ferl growl escaped me as he played with my cock. It felt so good, and he was only wearing my control even thinner. I had to stop this …
I made a disgusted noise in the back of my throat as he gripped my wrist tightly.
"… no …"
"As much as I would like you to continue we shouldn't. You're injured, and so am I. The transformation helps heal me, but I'll still have injuries tomorrow."
"So …"
"I am a lot stronger like this. With the condition you're in-"
"I get it. I'm not angry, but there is a 'certain' person I would like to be away from."
"Yeah, Knucks will be back soon. I can protect you right now anyway. Even Shadow couldn't beat me like this." The werehog assured me. I nuzzled into his furry chest as he stood up. He adjusted me so he could carry me comfortably and glared at the pink hedgehog. She glared, but not at Sonic. She glared at me, and I ignored it.
