Chapter 8: Curse-ception

(EDIT: Disclaimer: I don't own Virtual the Gospel Kitsune Cat. Wilbur-Nator does.)

"Now, explain yourself." Sonic kept tapping his foot impatiently.

"I... I thought..." Syra stuttered. Maybe she was reckless and she loved violence, but when she was doing things wrong she was a whole lot different. "I thought a red hedgehog was living here, have you seen her?" She asked innocently.

Rae was as silent as a tomb.

"You could have peacefully knocked the door and me or Tails would have responded you." He said.

"I'm desperate because if I don't get that hedgehog I'll be banished from my clan!"

"It isn't an excuse to break into my house." He said coldly. "Now get out!"

Both of the girls ran out of the house as fast as their legs would carry them.

"Jeez, it seems everybody knows me." Sonic muttered.

(-/-)

"You haven't been able to catch her?" Virtual spoke. He, Syra and Rae where talking through some kind of telekinesis.

"I haven't, she is just too fast for me to catch!" Syra replied defensively.

"You know killing her isn't the only way to return, right?" Virtual spoke. "You just have to ask her to join our clan and she has to accept."

"Really? Well, convincing her is going to be a problem..."

"First we have to focus on finding her..." Rae replied "Wait... She is near! I can feel it!"

"Lets go then!" Syra said. Both Rae and Syra broke up the telepathic communication and went to the place where the red hedgehog was supposed to be.

After a while they arrived... At Sonic's house? So he was indeed hiding her!

"We are going to have to sneak in so we don't attract the attention of Sonic in case she disappears." Rae suggested. They both sneaked in through the backyard, where the pool was.

"That wasn't funny Tails!" They saw the red hedgehog naked on the pool and Tails grinning. It seems he had just pushed her into the pool.

"It was for me" He replied grabbing a bucket of hot water. He passed it to the hedgehog and after getting out of the pool, she drenched herself with the hot water.

"Oh my... I have been facing Sonic the hedgehog..." She gasped. "Well, at least that explains how she got to defeat me so fast."

"Do you think we can defeat Sonic?" Rae asked.

"No, but you have your knowledge about curses and magic tricks."

"What are you trying to..." Rae was going to ask Syra, but as soon as she saw her grin she understood what she meant. Of course they would have to wait until Sonic went to sleep.

(-/-)

Syra and Rae had sneaked into Sonic's room at midnight. Syra held a plastic cup with some water and Rae held a big book containing lots of spells and curses and some "paint" she was going to need for the spell to work, of course she only had a little quantity with herself.

When they entered the room they saw Sonic sleeping, he was a man of course.

"Ok, lets begin." Rae said opening the book. Syra spilled some cold water on Sonic and he turned into a girl.

Rae then proceeded to paint her a spiral-like figure with the paint, it was purple color.

Then she started to whisper latin words in her ear. "Accipere locum habebis novum, amplecti, et omnium rerum oblivisci." That was supposed to mean. "You will have to accept your new home, embrace it, and forget everything else."

After that she drew the same spiral-like figure in her chest.

"Is it done?" Virtual's voice appeared in Rae's mind.

"Yes it is, you may speak with her now." She clapped.

Sarah shut her eyes open.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"Dress yourself, you are going home." Virtual's voice appeared in her mind.

"Ok..." She said picking up her clothes and putting them on. For those who forgot, her clothes consist of a blue skirt with a black belt with a light blue buckle and a blue tank top, and yeah, she was also wearing her blue underwear.

"So will you join us?" Rae asked.

"Sounds good." Sarah replied naturally.

"Lets go then, I have been away for so long I bet those bastards have already forgotten about me." Syra was cracking her knuckles.

The trio exited Sonic's room and went to the front door, but...

"Sonic? What are you doing with them?" Tails asked. He was at the kitchen, but then he heard strange noises coming from upstairs. And when he saw Sonic leaving with them he blocked the door with his body.

"She has accepted our clan, now move!" Syra kicked the fox away. Tails spun his namesakes to land safely on the ground.

"I'll not let you leave with Sonic!" He said putting a fighting stance.

"She told you to move." Sarah said coldly.

"S-s-onic... You- you aren't being serious about this, right?" He stuttered.

"First of all, my name is Sarah. Second..." She spin-dashed the poor Tails on the stomach, and due to her longer and deadlier spikes, she left the guy's stomach with many cuts.

The fox howled in pain as he fell to the ground, clutching his stomach.

"...i'm completely serious about this." She said. " Lets go." She kept walking with Syra and Rae following her.

"I've got... to stop... her..." Tails forgot about his bleeding chest and stood up.

"Hey Sarah!" He caught her attention. "I bet you can't spin dash me a second time!" He said going into the house.

"Just watch me!" She went behind him.

Tails ran into the house and hid in the kitchen. Sarah followed him there, but she soon saw her mistake.

"Gotcha'!" Tails threw a bucket of hot water at her, drenching her and turning her into a male. The paintings he had in his forehead and chest dissapeared.

"Uhh... Tails what happened?" He said confused. "And what the hell am I doing with my girl clothes?" He quickly took them off.

"It looks like whatever they might have done to you, it only works when you are female" Tails explained.

"So damn close..." Syra muttered.

"SO DAMN CLOSE!" She charged at Tails, but Sonic tripped her over and spin dashed her into the pool.

"Those who don't know their history are condemned to repeat it..." He smirked.

Rae started giggling. "I think you shouldn't have done that." She kept giggling.

"What do you mean?" Before Sonic could get an answer, Syra had raised from the pool, but she was slightly bigger and her eyes were acid green.

She relieved herself of her upper undergarment and the metal encasing that was protecting her chest to reveal that her chest was plain.

"You thought you were the one with that kind of curse?" She spoke in a lower-pitched voice. "You were so wrong... Now you are coming with me, you like it or not!" She readied her katana.

"I think i get it, she has a curse that makes her a man when she touches cold water." Tails explained.

"Man or woman, she is going down!" Sonic charged at her with a spin dash. Syra dodged it, making the hedgehog accidentaly splash into the pool.

"Sonic!" Tails was going to grab another bucket of hot water, but Syra had snatched the last one and he used it on himself, turning her back to normal.

"Come on Sarah, we have to return home." She said snatching her bra and the metal encasing she threw on the floor. Sarah slowly exited the pool, the markings had returned to their places.

"Yay!" She said, retrieving her clothes and running behind Syra in excitement.

"Sonic!" Tails was going to follow them, but was greeted by a kick by Rae, knocking him out.

"Sweet dreams, fox boy..." She said following behind Syra and Sarah.

Uh oh! Sonic was kidnapped! Sort of... Will Tails be able to find their hideout? Find out on next chapter!

All of you, thank you for reading and reviewing my story!

And about why Syra, Rae and Virtual are kind of evil? Well, lets say they are being controlled by a more powerful being. But something is for sure, it ain't Dr. Eggman. XD

See ya in the next chapter!
