Just Dying To Meet You Again
By: Sonic Date: June 22, 2019, 4:47 am
---------------------------------------------------------
It was a cold starless night, the sky was a black endless void
save for the moon, providing what little light it could. The
scourge of Mobius's underworld had received an offer for a very
lucrative contract and the client wanted to meet in person.
Karahl was instructed to dress for the occasion as she thought
she would be meeting with one the heads of the city's various
crime families. She had been invited to a ritzy restaurant that
had been hired out just for this evening; it appears whoever
this was liked their privacy when conducting business. The room
was empty save for one candlelit table sitting under a spotlight
hanging from the roof. The darkness was chased away by the
bright light hanging above causing the ice cubes in the metal
bucket to glisten while cooling the expensive wine.
As Karahl wandered into the centre of the room a well-dressed
hedgehog in a flashy silver dinner jacket stepped into the
spotlight. He smiled while fixing up the cuffs of his gloves
then gesturing for her to take a seat. "You are a hard lady to
track down." Sonic said thrilled his plan had worked. The
delight clear in his voice he fixed up his tie and stepped
forward. "Tonight isn't going to be exactly what you thought it
was. There's no multi-million dollar hit and I sure as hell
ain't no greasy crime boss. No tonight a better class of
gentleman is going to be your host. As I'm sure you well know,
I'm Sonic. The Fastest Thing Alive, greatest hero in the world
and all that jazz. I'm kind of a big deal. Don't let the fancy
digs fool you I'm not made of money. Hell, I had to spend my
life saving just to make this night happen. Between renting this
place out and paying for the hospital bills of all the scumbags
I kicked around looking to get a hold of you, I'm broke. All
I've got left is my little shack on the beach but for me, that's
enough."
Sonic dropped the showmanship for the next part and asked her
earnestly. "Seeing as I went to a lot of trouble just to set
this up, could you please just hear me out." His eyes grew wide
and his ears stood on end waiting in anticipation.

And dress for the occasion she did.
It was very seldom that the tigress wore heels but this was an
occasion that seemed to have called for it. The trail of
clacking heels against marble merely echoed just how quiet and
empty this place really was; the longer she was here the more
wary and suspicious about the dinner all together.
Keeping her eyes peeled for some sort of ambush, Karahl stepped
in, holding up the front of her black, silken, floor-lengthed
dress which had hugged her body so snugly and flared out from
the hips-down like a flower. There were no sleeves on this
rather expensive attire but the dress continued to travel up her
neck and rolled up until it sat below her eyes; like a fusion of
a mask and a dress. There was also window of exposed
silver-white fur just above her bust, but it was designed with
such class and elequnecy that it hardly exposed bosom, but left
just enough to the imagination. To complete her ensemble she
wore arms-length silken gloves, leaving for her shoulders to
also be exposed, white fur scarf hung off of her neck and
trailed fluidly behind her and a small white handbag clutched
between her very fingers.
Then the hedgehog appeared under the spotlight and the
temptation to let out a groan was all too tantalizing but she
kept it in and remained composed. She stared at him with an icey
stare and allowed for a pregnant pause to weigh heavily over
them before finally:
"You have my attention."

Sonic was stunned by this very vision of beauty, it was like
Cupid had taken an arrow from his quiver and lodged it right
into the hedgehog's heart. Sonic stared for literal moments
trying to figure out if she was angel cast out of heaven for her
wicked ways, or if she was a demon who clawed her way out of the
underworld who bore the grace of an angel. Her dress, that
figure the elegant mask he was utterly speechless; then at that
moment, he heard the words he had been waiting for. This was the
chance he'd been waiting for he snapped back into reality and
grabbed his chance with everything he had.
"Please take a seat, the heels look styling but they must be
murder on the ol feet." He pulled out a seat for the tiger and
then dropped down into the seat next to her.
"I'll not mince words as you seem like a girl who cuts right to
the point of things. I know your an assassin. You kill people
for money; literally one of the lowest forms of work around.
Even sweeping up shit has a simple honesty to it." He paused for
a moment taking in a large breath before continuing. "I should
hate you but I don't. Truth is I can't stop thinking about you
since our first encounter. Surely you felt it too? That fire,
the primal power of our clash; speed Vs strength. It was wild,
untamed and I loved every second of it. I wouldn't care if you
tossed this table across the room right now and tried to gut me
right here or just sat and ate but I want more of whatever that
was. We're from different worlds but I've always been one to
walk on the wild side. You're a diamond I've seen cut through
lesser men; it's time you stepped up to some real quality."
Sonic said while gesturing to himself before slamming his hands
onto the table. "So whatdya say babe?" He said with a confident
smirk and a proud posture.

Her piercing gaze didn't leave Sonic as she watched him
carefully with wariness and seldom blinked. The tiger took a
seat offered to her and as always listened intently.
Then she blinked with surprise.
"I must admit, I was expecting some sort of ludicrous speech
about how I should see the error of my ways and that you know
that there is 'good' inside me deep down. That I shouldn't be
wearing a former mayor's pelt like a scarf." she chuckled with
the back of her palm over her forehead for dramatic effect.
Karahl then lowered it, "I'm joking about that last part, by the
way." she added.
Either she wasn't joking or the assassin just really didn't tell
funny jokes. Hard to say.
She then leaned back into her chair and smiled slightly beneath
the fabric, "Our duel was exilerating, I agree - certainly among
the most interesting ones I've had in a while. Your proposition
is both flattering and amusing. So much so that I may consider
it in time, who knows where it may lead."
There was another pause before she extended a hand towards him,
"For now though, I am willing to settle with a truce; I won't
accept any more contracts pinned on you - even going as far as
sabotaging others with contracts against you and... you won't
get in the way of my future 'endeavours'. After that, if we're
compatible, we can pursue something much more meaningful."
Karahl was quite the businesswoman, but the list for both casual
social skills and those whom could be called friends was an
exceedingly short list. She then added, "I suppose getting to
know each other would be included in the truce as well."

Sonic gave a nervous laugh when the tiger made her terrible joke
about wearing the mayor like a coat. "Honestly, that's part of
the excitement. I know somewhere inside of you there's a better
person but with age, you learn people never really change." He
popped the cork on the wine and poured the tiger a glass;
setting it before her he smiled while shaking his head. "A
truce? I'm sorry but I'm not going to let you kill whoever you
want; it's our opposition that makes this all so exciting. The
fact you said we can pursue something much more meaningful is
what I wanted to hear."
Sonic raised his glass to hers and spoke putting on a slightly
harsher tone than normal. "Forget the truce. Let's just say alls
fair in love and war and go from there. An attempted murder here
a spindash there and our moments fall somewhere in between."
Sonic was Karahl's exact opposite unprofessional, unbusinesslike
he was an impulsive hippie who followed his heart above all
else. He couldn't bare seeing his affection for this primal
predator be twisted into a compromise that allowed her to do as
she pleased while sucking the fun out of their dynamic. "The
getting to know you part I am still very much open to. So tell
me, kitten what makes you tick? I'd say I'm all ears but I've
only got one good one." While both ears functioned fully it was
clear it all who gazed upon him his left ear was hideously
scarred. It was clear Karahl was cold and calculating seeing
this as an opportunity to get the world's greatest hero off her
back but there was no way Sonic was going to be manipulated that
easily.

Karahl accepted the wine poured into her glass as she llistened
with amusement. She then raided the glass slightly as if giving
a toast and chuckled, "Can't blame a lady for trying, but I can
also see what you mean." she said simply, before pulling down
the fabric about her face slightly to take a sip and then
continued formally, "As for what makes me tick? What fun would
there be if i shared you my most intimate thoughts right now,
Sonic the Hedgehog."
"However, what you may know of me is that my name is Karahl, I
take a lot of pride in my work, any rumors of me being able to
ground ships from the sky with my bare hands are true and I am
very devoted to my family. My youngest sibling is a fan of you
in fact." the tigress answered, albeit rather quickly as if to
get it out of the way but she also had no doubt he wouldn't have
missed any of that, "What about yourself? What makes the Fastest
Thing alive tick? Is there more than going fast and chillidogs
to you? Does the world always move in slow motion? How did you
get that scar? I've heard stories about some police canine
firing a stray bullet..." she then squinted slightly for closer
inspection before shaking her head to dismiss it, "From the
looks of it, it seems unlikely? It was just a rumor after all;
in another lifetime perhaps."

"Karahl." He let her name hang in the air before his famous ego
flared up. "Who wouldn't be? Tell ya what, tell the little
tiger, I said hi." He said signing a head shot before sliding it
towards the elegant vision before him. "Oh there's much more to
ol Blue here than simply running fast and junk food. Like my
charming personality for one." He gave a cocky grin before
tapping the table offering a hearty chuckle. "Family huh? So the
big bad tiger has a heart after all. That's adorable honestly,
mostly I find maniacs that do the things you do are crazed
loners."
Sonic sank into deeper thought, reflecting upon the horrid six
months of torture he endured upon the orbiting death station.
Reaching up to his injured ear he ran his fingers over it while
he spoke; his voice lowering an octave and his tone changing to
stern and serious. "Let's just say it was a gift from your
former employer and leave it at that. You'd do well to avoid
dealing with Robotnik. Think of the bigger picture; what are you
going to do with all the money you get from killing me when the
planet is overrun with his robotic slaves and he comes for you
and your brother? Sure you'd be able to fight them off, but even
you have to sleep. What he's after isn't conventional like
revenge or money. He won't be happy until everybody on Mobius is
made of gears and wires, singing his robotic tune. The trees
will die, lakes will be polluted and soon after it'll make
existence for all organic life impossible. You're from the east,
you can't tell me you don't enjoy the splashing of a stream or
the cool breeze through a bamboo forest."
Sonic firmly planted a finger on the table and said earnestly.
"That is why I fight! Others lend a hand but I'm the only one
who can push it all the way. That bastard took my Uncle Chuck
and erased everything that made him who he was. So trust me when
I say, that fat shit is enemy to nature and family alike."

For now the tiger left the signed autograph on the table as he
slid it over to her then she chuckled at the next thing he said,
“Oh, there’s much more to ol ‘Maniac’ here than simply executing
fast and ‘acquired tastes’.” she sassed, breaking that cold
demeanour for a brief period of emphasis. Karahl then took
another sip of wine and her usual formal way of speaking
returned, “I think you will find that there are much more to
most people – even the ones who deal in the same business as I.”
She then cast him a sharp look, “You assume I am alone.” the
tigeress pointed out before she returned her gaze to her glass,
“I have no loyalty towards the Overlander and am very aware of
what he is capable of and intends to do. I agreed to work with
him at the time simply because he was winning and had
practically taken over; until by some miracle the lot of you
somehow overthrew that at the last minute. The moment I knew he
was losing, I fled, along with some of his tech, weapons and a
handful of plans. That’s why I had the rail guns which were
designed to track you when we first met.”
That was probably the most she had said in one sitting at this
point of knowing each other.
His earnest gaze was met with a harsh and unblinking one… yet it
was somehow different, like she had decided that he was somewhat
tolerable now, “Your motivations and actions are admirable but
trust is so easy to destroy and so difficult to gain. I hope you
understand that.”
