A/N: Glad everyone enjoyed that last chapter. Now comes the confrontation of Furball and Danny. This may be a short chapter. Expect Furball to reveal more of his past in this chapter. Also expect some violence and language. Enjoy!
Danny lit a cigarette and paced back and forth in the alley. The place stunk. There was garbage everywhere, used drug needles and broken booze bottles littered the ground. It was disgusting.
"This guy is going to get it good for dragging me here." He muttered. The skunk was also in a very bad mood. First of all, Fifi was missing. She probably ran off to her little pink friend's place for a place to hide.
"That bitch was trouble from day one." He said out loud while blowing a large cloud of smoke. Then there was this guy on the phone. He had the balls to call him a pussy. Danny has put more people in the hospital for less.
He flicked away his cigarette in annoyance. The thought of someone out there with his property drove him insane. Fifi was his and ONLY his. She was too beautiful and sexy for anyone to have but him. Danny recalls breaking a guy's arm because he had the nerve to give her a look over at the beach. He should of kept her locked in the house. His own personal slave for his every need.
The sounds of footsteps were heard and Danny looked over to see Furball walk around the corner.
"You." Danny muttered, his fists clenching tightly. Furball chuckled and came closer. "Yeah, little ole me."
He looked around the alley then back to Danny, sighing.
"Home sweet home. Lot of memories here. I slept in a box in the corner there." Furball told him. Danny snorted a laugh. "You lived in this dump? Man, you must of been one messed up kid."
"Really? I thought you would feel at peace here, with the garbage and crap." Furball joshed. Danny took a swing at him but Furball ducked and pushed him from behind. Danny tripped and fell into a large, dirty puddle.
Seething with anger, Danny leaped up, soaking and all and tackled Furball to the ground. The two rolled around on the ground, trying to get control over one another. Eventually, Danny got control a drove a fist across Furball's muzzle. The cooper taste of blood filled his mouth. Danny then wrapped his hands tightly around his neck, choking the life out of him. Furball's free hand reached out to find something, anything that would assist him. The smooth, glassy touch of a bottle came into contact with his fingers. Getting a firm grip on the neck of the bottle, he brought it up fast and hard. The bottle smashed into a million pieces when in it hit Danny's face.
Furball felt the air return to his lungs and he spat out a wad of blood. Danny staggered to his feet, the side of his head bleeding freely. He was suddenly slammed back down to the ground as Furball elbowed him straight in the back. Danny hit the ground but came back up with an uppercut to the blue cat's jaw. Furball stumbled back a little woozy, leaning against the brick wall.
The sound of steel sliding out of a handle was heard. Furball looked up to see Danny with a switchblade in his hand.
"I'm gonna cut off your goddamn fingers..." He growled. Furball sunk his head and slowly his body began to shake as if he was sobbing. "That's right. Cry you little bitch." Danny said. But his face took on a look of confusion as Furball raised his head. He wasn't crying.
He was laughing.
He tried to speak but had to stop as a fit of giggles overcame him until he finally said, "A knife? That's it? Is that supposed to scare me?"
Danny screamed in rage as he thrust the knife towards Furball. Furball quickly dodge and caught Danny's arm, directing the knife into the wall, breaking it. He then grabbed the back of Danny's head and smashed his face against the wall. Danny crumbled to the ground, a dazed look in his eyes. Furball took of his dirty coat and threw it aside while speaking to the fallen skunk.
"Knives don't mean shit to mean Danny boy. I've seen it all on the streets. Couple of years ago, I owed some guys money from a few loans. I didn't have the cash so I had to hide. Long story short, they caught me."
Danny started to stir but Furball gave him a swift boot to the ribs to keep him on his back.
"The took me to an alley, much like this, and they shot me." Furball continued. "Took a bullet right in the shoulder. Almost bled to death."
Danny crawled up on his hands and knees, only to have Furball's foot connect with his face.
"When I was a kid, I had to put up with prostitutes, gangs, coke heads, drug pushers, you name it. Everyday I had a gun or a blade or goddamn bat in my face. It was a routine. So you do what you have to, to survive. There aren't any rules here Danny boy. There's no such thing as fighting dirty." Upon ending that sentence, he kicked Danny right between the legs. The skunk let out a loud scream of pain.
He fell to his knees and Furball crouched so he was eye level with him. He grabbed Danny by the hair to make him look at him.
"So if you think a knife is going to put some fear in me, think again." Furball hissed. He then rolled up his sleeve and showed Danny the huge scar under his fur on his shoulder.
"Everyday I swore I would never become like them. I would never give in to heavy boozing, drugs or other crap like that. Otherwise I would become someone like you."
Danny stared at him with fiery eyes, blood leaking down his brow. "Your full of shit." He gasped. "You wish you were me. After all, I'm the one giving it to Fifi every night."
Furball's fur stood on end and lifted Danny up so he could drive his face into the wall. Unfortunately, he didn't notice the brick Danny had picked up. When pulled to his feet, he slammed the brick into Furball's head.
He went down and Danny proceeded to beat him down with kicks and punches.
"You think you're better than me! Huh! Where's your smart ass answer now you homeless piece of crap!"
"Danny stop!" Came a female cry.
He looked over to see Fifi standing in the alley's entrance. Smiling, he dropped Furball's nearly unconscious body and started towards her. Fifi stood her ground as he approached. Without a word, Danny slapped her across the face.
"Do you have any idea what trouble you've caused me bitch?" He spat at her. But Fifi stood tall, peering at him with hate filled eyes.
"Go to hell Danny." She said with venom in each word. She received another slap and fell to the ground this time. Danny picked her up by the hair and said, "I'm done with you. I've beaten a lot of useless women and you by far have been the worst. But now I'm going to kill you. Then I'm going to kill your friend over there. And if I have time, I'll kill your bunny friends too."
Fifi started at him hard then suddenly smirked.
"What are you smiling at?" He asked. Fifi reached into her jeans pocket an pulled out a small device.
A tape recorder.
"Freeze!" Came a voice from behind. Danny whipped around to see two policeman with guns aimed, standing on the other side of the alley. Behind them, Babs and Buster stood with worried looks on their faces.
"Son of a bitch..." Danny whispered. They had set him up. Furball and Fifi were the bait while Babs and Buster went to the police. And what's worse, they had all his threats on tape. A jury could use that as evidence of plotting to manslaughter. It would put him away for a long time. Danny ignored the police and pulled her hair tighter.
"How did you get past Jeff! He runs most of the phones in the station!" He demanded.
"Put the girl down and back away!"
"It appears Jeff has a weakness for women with long ears. All it took was for Babs to walk in the station and he was all over her. Buster had no trouble finding another officer or two." Fifi explained with a coy grin.
Danny was boiling with rage. He was caught all because of a stroke of luck.
"I said put her down!"
Danny payed no attention to the police and was ready to give Fifi another slap but was tackled by Furball. The alley cat held him down while the two officers rushed over to cuff him. One of the officers, a cheetah in his mid forties looked at Furball and sighed,
"Getting into trouble again Ryan?" He asked. Furball gave him a tired, bloody grin and said, "Only cause I know your still on the job."
The cheetah checked Furball's wounds while Babs and Buster helped Fifi. Danny was shoved in the back of the squad car as he stared daggers into Furball and Fifi. Fifi latched on to Furball, hugging herself close to him. She felt hot tears fall down her cheek as she sobbed quietly into his blood stained shirt. Furball gently rocked her back and forth to comfort her.
"Here," Furball said, taking the tape recorder from Fifi and giving it to the cheetah. "There's the evidence you need on him. For what he's done to her and anyone else."
"I could of took one look at her and have all the evidence I needed." He said referring to Fifi's cut cheek.
"I'd get to the hospital and check out those wounds. Huge chance of getting infected from rolling around in a place like this." He told him. Furball nodded.
"Thanks Andy. I will."
The cheetah nodded and hopped into the car with his partner and drove off with a enraged Danny in the back.
Furball continued to rock Fifi and kissed the top of her head. Buster and Babs watched from the side. Babs elbowed the blue rabbit in the ribs saying, "Told you they would get together."
Buster just rolled his eyes and wrapped an arm around his wife.
One Month Later
Furball opened the door to his apartment and threw his coat onto his couch. He flopped down on his couch and closed his eyes. The shop had been really picking up business and he was working overtime almost everyday to almost midnight. Today was no different.
He suddenly heard a knock at the door.
Groaning, he got up and opened it only to have his jaw drop seeing Fifi standing in the hall wearing nothing but a robe.
"Well? Aren't you going to invite me in?" She said slyly. Furball gathered his wits and scooped her up and carried her in. He lay her down on the couch and gave her a long kiss.
"Hard day at work?" She giggled as Furball nuzzled her neck. "You have no idea." He sighed and gently stroked her cheek. He then gave her a hard look.
"What?"
"I just thought of something."
"And that would be?"
"How did you know Danny's friend was attracted to long eared women?" He asked. Fifi wrapped her slender legs around his waist and smiled.
"Danny never knew this but I once had a case of identity theft and I went to the station one day. I talked to Jeff about it and saw a picture of him and Danny on his desk from a rugby game. Turns out they've known each other for years. We were going through the proper forms and stuff when all of a sudden this tall, blonde rabbit walks by and he completely drops everything and goes and talks to her for about twenty minutes. So when you came up that plan, I knew Babs would be perfect to send to the police." She explained.
Furball smiled and purred, "Clever girl. I wasn't sure how we would of gotten past him but your always full of surprises."
"As are you. For instance who was that officer that knew you?"
"Just an old friend of mine. When I was still a kid on the streets, Andy looked out for me. He made sure I never got into any gangs or drug rings. He even gave me rides to school." Furball said, getting up and stretching. Fifi got up with him and kissed him softly. She broke away and walked over to his bedroom. She looked back at him with a grin and let her robe fall to the ground as she walked into the room. Furball grinned and followed suit.
Fifi woke up around three am. She let out a yawn and settled back into Furball. She rested her head under his chin and hugged herself closer to him. Furball's arm was wrapped tightly around her as he slept peacefully.
Fifi traced her finger up and down the fur on the blue cat's chest in thought. She was thinking of Danny and how she hoped he was rotting in jail. She thought of when she first saw Furball after all those years. The first time she kissed him. And Fifi even thought of the days at the Looniversity.
Every now and then, she would look at Furball and see that small, scrawny alley cat he used to be. It would break her heart remembering how lonely he was.
Furball snapped her out of her thoughts when he rolled over in his sleep so he was facing her and had both arms wrapped around her. The skunk smiled and gently kissed him on the lips. A small smile formed on his muzzle and started to purr.
Fifi laughed softly and cuddled closer to him, feeling the warmth from his body. She felt her eyelids grow heavier until the closed and she fell into a blissful slumber with him.
The End
A/N: There ya go! Thank you everyone who read this story and put up with the delay, especially Nightw2, acosta perez jose ramiro and Rock Raider. I really enjoyed writing this story because there are no Furball and Fifi pairings out there. I'm not sure why, they make a great pair in my opinion. So I encourage anyone out there to give this pairing a shot and write a story. Even just a Furball story. He was one of the most underused characters in my opinion along with Calamity. Anyway, thanks again and keep on rock'n! Cya!
