This is a story based on the anime cartoon Kaiketsu Zorori. This story won't be sex driven but it will be story driven and there's a chance for a sequel to it.

Zorori gets bullied, teased and beaten up by bullies and suffers the brutality of their abuse but than he's rescued by his friends and appears on a talk show where he speaks to people about life, the pain the bullies made him suffer and more. Everyone whose there starts to feel Zorori's pain and Zorori finds out there's a surprise in store for him that will help him heal from his pain.


It was a sunny day in a nearby forest as a young male fox and two male boars were walking around and felt a need to use the bathroom.

"Anyone need to use the bathroom?' asked the male fox curiously. "How about it, Ishishi and Noshishi?"

"Zorori-sensei go big wee wee." joked Ishishi with a blush. "I'm just kidding sensei, of course we have to go use it."

"Me too." said Noshishi. "We just got to find a tree or a bush to go behind."

Zorori was a young male fox who had yellow fur all over his body, he had black eyes that looked like they had so much life in them. He was five feet and seven inches tall which he was over two feet taller than his two apprentices who were also his friends. He was in his early twenties, probably twenty-one or somewhere close to that age, he had a young, soft, deep and calm voice, he wore a sandogasa which was some kind of straw hat with ear hole on the top so his fox like ears can go through them, a long sleeved blue shirt, a blue and white striped cape that had the stripes on one side and a plain blue color on the other side of it, a pair of green forest pants, he was even wearing a belt that helped secure his pants. The three of them felt the need to go urinate.

"If we don't find a private spot to go pee soon, I might as well go in my pants." said Zorori with a groan.

The need to urinate got stronger and put a slight bit of pressure on their bladders, making wet and gurgling sounds from their balls. One of them spotted some porta-potties.

"Hey sensei, we're in luck." said Ishishi as he pointed at the nearby porta-potties.

They all saw them porta-potties, Zorori put his straw hat in his backpack and put his cape in his backpack as well and a look of excitement appeared on Zorori's face as they headed for them porta-potties by making a fast dash for them.

"Last one in is a bed wetter." said Zorori jokingly.

They all went inside the porta-potties and all of them made it inside all at the same time. They made sure they locked the doors to them and it looked like it had plenty of toilet paper in them by about four big rolls, there was see through vents that lead outside which made it look like the screens that some people have on their windows and doors to their homes. Them vents were used to air out the porta-potty. There was even a built in air-freshener in them that was the scent of cotton candy. Zorori sat down on the seat with his pants pulled down and he began to pee, he was letting out the urine that was in his bladder as he felt sweet relief and even the two male boars were feeling sweet relief as they too let out their urine.

"Awww, so much better." said Zorori lazily.

After Zorori emptied his bladder completely, he pulled his pants and underwear up and fastened his belt back on but to his surprise the porta-potty was beng shaken back and forth while he heard loud and evil laughing. Zorori held onto the walls to try and not fall over, what was going on he had no idea.

"Stop it, stop it right now." yelled Zorori.

"Or what loser?' came a few male voices.

Zorori unlocked the door to the porta-potty and jumped out of the porta-potty and landed on the ground butt first, he let out a groan from the impact to his butt. The people who were shaking the porta-potty laughed maliciously at Zorori.

"That's going to be a bit sore on the back door." said Zorori with a groan.

"Hey look guys, the fox is a skinny, scrawny, string bean." joked one of them bullies.

Zorori got up on his feet and turned to see what looked two male wolves with silver fur. One of them looked well toned and athletic and the other looked muscular. Both of them were laughing at Zorori.

"What ever your problems are, they're not my problems so beat it." said Zorori sharply.

One of them came over to Zorori and slapped him hard across the face, leaving a red mark on his cheek, he even flicked Zorori's nose hard caused a slight bit of pain for the young fox as he let out another groan of pain.

"Ouch, don't do that." said Zorori annoyed.

"Oh? You mean this." said the other wolf mockingly.

The other wolf came over flicked Zorori's nose hard which caused the pain to hurt more. Zorori was groaning in pain as he was being bullied by the two mean wolves. Zorori rubbed his nose to rub the pain away.

"Maybe he meant not to do this?" said the muscled wolf as he stomped on Zorori's foot paw.

"Ow, stop that." said Zorori really annoyed.

"No, I think he meant don't do this." said the athletic wolf giggling as he grabbed Zorori's fox like ears and twisted them a little enough to hurt.

"Ow my ears, please stop it, that really hurts." said Zorori as he pleaded for them to stop.

Zorori was getting really mad, being bullied and teased this way was starting to hurt him emotionally but Zorori had an idea in mind to break free. Zorori jumped up once and kicked both of them wolves in the balls and both of them wolves yelled in pain, placing their hands on their aching crotches. Zorori was free from their grip.

"You little string bean." the muscled wolf howled in pain.

"What, you to don't want to play no more?" said Zorori getting sly.

One of them wolves tried to grab Zorori but missed, the other wolf tried to grab him but he too failed to grab a hold of the young male fox.

"Whose the string bean now?" said Zorori as he briefly stuck his tongue out at them.

"Still you." came another male voice from behind Zorori.

Zorori pulled his tongue back in his mouth and when he was about to turn around, he was pushed hard to the ground and when he fell on the ground. It turned out there was a third male grey wolf of the group and he was the biggest one out of all of them.

"Pound him." said one of them wolves looking enraged.

"HELP, ISHISHI AND NOSOISHI." screamed Zorori.

Although Ishishi and Noshishi heard Zorori's cry for help but as soon as they came out of the porta-potty, they were shocked to see that the three wolf bullies were kicking and punching Zorori mercilessly, beating him up like a rag doll.

"Stop beating up our sensei." said Ishishi and Noshishi sharply.

The two boars tried to pull them off Zorori but they kicked them away, they layed one more punch to Zorori' face and from the looks of Zorori condition, he didn't look so good. Zorori had red marks all over his face, he had black eye on his left eye, one of his cheeks looked swollen, he had bruises on him, some of the bruises were on his face, there was no doubt he had bruises on his back and red marks in other places of his body. There were no cuts but poor Zorori even had the breath knocked out of him, he felt an urge to cry his eyes out but he tried to fight off the tears.

"I think the baby is going to cry." teased one of the wolves.

"Cry baby, cry baby, baby's gonna cry, he's such a wittle baby." teased them three wolves in a sing song voice.

"You leave our sensei alone." said Noshishi as he demanded them to stop.

"ENOUGH." screamed a female voice.

They all turned to see a tall and well trimmed bodied female mouse who was probably a little taller than Zorori. She had a very stern look on her face and she did not look amused.

"Stay out of this lady." said the large wolf.

"I saw what you three did to him, three against one is no fair." she said to them looking pissed off.

She walked over to them three wolves as she stormed over to them.

"Listen lady." said the muscled wolf.

"Shut up." said the mouse lady as she slapped the three wolves hard across the face.

"Ow." said the three wolves in groans of pain.

"Picking on someone is half your size, the three of you are bullies and you should be ashamed." said the mouse lady. "Oh girls."

As the mouse lady called for some people to come over, suddenly, a dozen or more female police officers came out of nowhere and some of them jumped out and cuffed the three wolves in a fast and rapid fashion and the three wolves ended up hand-cuffed together while guns were pointed at them. Them three wolves knew they were out numbered and had no choice but to surrender.

"Your coming with us boys." said one of the female officers.

The three wolves began walking forward as seven officers were leading them to an armored squad car.

"And it looks like you three boys are going to maybe hear this from your mothers." said another female officer.

"No, not our moms, please don't tell our moms." said the three wolves looking alarmed.

"Just keep walking, bozos. Let's go." said another female officer.

As the three wolves were being taken in, the remaining female officers and the female mouse turned their attention to the beaten, battered and bruised fox. Ishishi and Noshishi were trying to help Zorori up but they managed to have him sit up. The mouse lady walked over to Zorori and she looked him over, she even placed her hand on his swollen cheek, she looked like she was worried like how a mother worries about their kids.

"You poor thing, where else does it hurt?" asked the female mouse.

"They were so mean." said Zorori as he sheds so many tears.

The mouse lady wrapped her arms around Zorori and hugged him gently as she knew he was not just in physical pain but even his heart felt broken, she rubbed his back gently and kissed his cheek.

"Let out honey, let out your pain." said the mouse lady kindly. "What's his name?"

"His name is Zorori, ma-am." said Ishishi and Noshishi in unison.

"Will you two come with me and Zorori, we're going to take him to see a doctor." said the mouse lady.

"Okay." said Ishishi and Noshishi in unison.

The mouse lady had gotten up and carried Zorori in her arms bridal style, she walked over towards the remaining female officers while Ishishi and Noshishi walked by her side so they can be with their friend Zorori. They all walked down a trail that lead them to a town where the officers and the mouse woman were probably from. They continued their way over to the town.

"Where are we going, ma'am?" asked Ishishi curiously.

"There's a hospital area in town, we got doctors there to treat Zorori of his boo boos." said the mouse lady. "I'm Cassidy but some people call me Mrs. Cassie."

Zorori was silently crying out tears and Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi could see Zorori crying from the pain he felt and they knew that Zorori needed comfort or someone to care for him. They made it to the hospital and Zorori was taken to see the nurses while Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi waited in the waiting room for him. Some of the police offcers went back to the police station while some of them remained at the hospital to make sure they can explain everything to the doctors about what happened. As Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi waited in the waiting room, Cassidy was curious to ask Ishishi and Noshishi something or two.

"I didn't catch your names." asked Cassidy.

"I'm Ishishi." said Ishishi introducing himself.

"And I'm his twin brother Noshishi." said Noshishi introducing himself as well.

Cassidy looked like she made a note of that as she took a minute to think and turned her attention to them.

"I'm glad you and the officers came to help us out and to help our sensei." said Noshishi kindly.

"Your welcome. Is your sensei Zorori, you know?" Cassidy said to them quietly at first.

She looked around and leaned in towards their faces as if to whisper something to them.

"Is he the king of pranks?" asked Cassidy as she finished what she said.

Ishishi and Noshishi were at first looking a bit surprised to hear that Cassidy asked this and they knew they had to tell her this because they wouldn't be able to lie to her, they nodded once.

"When did he become the king of pranks?" asked Cassidy curiously.

"About a few weeks ago. Zorori was working on a prank that was his best one and some people noticed how good it was, than they asked him if he wanted to compete in the prankster games where the winner would be known as the king of pranks." explained Ishishi at first.

"It was down to Zorori, Professor Gaon and one other person as the finalist, than it was down to Zorori and Professor Gaon, but just when it was down two of them, there was an incident that nearly ended the world, but me, Zorori and Ishishi took on what was causing this incident which was an evil demon, it wasn't easy to take this demon down but Zorori, me and Ishishi took him down and sent him back to hell where the demon will stay forever." explained Noshishi as he finished the rest. "Than Zorori and Professor Gaon continued their competition and Zorori won, making him the king of pranks."

Cassidy was looking amazed yet surprised to hear this, she remembered there was an incident that could've resulted with the end of the world but she had forgotten or didn't hear about who prevented the end of the world from happening, now that she knew who, she felt intrigued about this.

"And what happened at them porta-potties, them three bullies beat up Zorori without mercy looked like they did that on purpose. Somehow, someone called the police about the incident and who ever it was that called somehow got video recorded evidence of the brutal assault. Someone gave us the tape so we could testify." said Cassidy as she explained how the police found out about the incident.

Ishishi and Noshishi understood and knew how help had arrived when even they tried to help Zorori, they had wondered how help had arrived and knew about what was going on but now they know.

"Poor Zorori, does he have any family he can stay with?" asked Cassidy curiously.

Ishishi and Noshishi fell silent at the question, knowing that this was a question that had a grim answer, they knew someone would ask them this but never new it was going to be this soon.

"His family?" said Ishishi looking like he couldn't come up with a good answer.

"His mother, Zororeene, she's not with Zorori no more." said Noshishi looking grim. "We had once spoken to her spirit but she's in heaven now. Zorori really loved her and she really loves him."

Cassidy was a bit taken-aback, she had never knew that Zorori's mother was deceased.

"And his father?" asked Cassidy.

"We don't know, we've encountered him before, even when Zorori needed his help." said Ishishi. "But your going to have to ask Zorori about it, if he wants to that is."

Cassidy was starting to feel bad for Zorori now, knowing this made her feel like she had to do something, but she felt like she needed to ask Zorori for permission first because she didn't know if Zorori would want help or not, but she felt like she knew that Zorori needed help, as if it was an instinct.

"Okay, although I do hope that we hear how Zorori is doing soon." said Cassidy looking worried.

Thirty minutes have gone by. It was showing it was "12:15 P.M." on a clock they saw, they would hear people saying something over the loudspeaker from time to time about a doctor having a call waiting for them or telling them something else, they would see doctors or patients heading for the cafeteria to eat and some patients chatting with one another. Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi were hoping that Zorori was going to be alright when the doctor would come back to tell them the news.

"Cassidy, Ishishi, Noshishi?" called out a female voice.

They got up from their seats and saw a female doctor who called out their names, the doctor was a female wolf with orange fur. Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi walked over to the doctor who called their names and the female wolf saw them came over to her.

"How is he?" asked Ishishi and Noshishi.

"Luckily for Zorori none of his bones are broken, he's had red marks on him, a few bruises, some parts of his body are swollen mildly, some minor cuts that we had to tend to and he's got no damage to any of his organs. He'll be okay." said the wolf lady.

They let out a sigh of relief as they heard this but the wolf female wasn't done telling them the news.

"You can see him but..." she paused.

The feeling of relief had faded from them a little as they knew there was more to be said.

"Zorori is kind of feeling emotionally vulnerable, he'll need someone to be his care taker for a while. Does he have any family?" asked the doctor.

The three fell silent and knew that this was not a very happy subject at the moment from what the three have been speaking about earlier.

"His family, well, that might not be an option at the moment." said Ishishi nervously.

"Oh, in that case, than it's up to the three of you now. If you want to see him, just follow me but when you see him, try to be as gentle as you can, maybe make a funny face to make him laugh or tell him a funny joke." said the doctor while giving them a suggestion on how to handle the situation.

The orange female wolf motioned them to follow her and the three followed her to go see Zorori, they were worried about how the poor male fox was feeling since the doctor said he was emotionally vulnerable and that only made them think of how they should approach this when they see him. They arrived at the elevator and walked inside it. The nurse pushed the button and they felt themselves being lifted up and they reached the fifth floor. The doors of the elevator opened and they all walked out of it. The nurse than lead them to a room that read "Room 225" and they stopped.

"Now remember, be gentle with Zorori since he's emotionally sensitive at the moment." said the wolf lady.

They nodded and opened the door. Cassidy, the nurse, Ishishi and Noshishi walked inside while the two boars covered their eyes as they walked in, afraid of what they were going to see.

"We can't look, how is he?" said Ishishi and Noshishi in unison.

Cassidy looked at Zorori and the young male fox was looking like he was someone who survived some minor injuries. Zorori had some small band aids on his face, one on his left eye-brow one on the right of his chin, two of them on each cheek in different places of the cheeks and one on his nose. He had bandages wrapped around three fingers on his right hand and two fingers on his left hand, bandages wrapped around his whole right forearm, his whole left humerus, around his feet, around his whole lower legs from his ankles to his knees and even though he was wearing hospital patients clothes that were a white long sleeved shirt and white pants, they knew he probably was sore or bruised but all of his bruises and cuts were covered in band aids that had medicine in them to help his body heal faster and the bandages had the same medicine in them too. He had looked like someone who had been to the doctor after he survived falling down a hill. Zorori was sitting down in a wheelchair that looked like it was made to feel like sitting on a comfortable bed as it had soft, pillow like cushioned padding on the arm rests, leg rest, foot rest, and on the seat where it would make it comfortable for his butt and back.

"You guys can look, it's not bad." said Cassidy reassuring the two male boars.

Ishishi and Noshishi uncovered their eyes and saw Zorori, they were relieved to see he didn't look too bad but Zorori didn't look very happy at all, he had a look of sadness on his face, looking down on the floor.

"Zorori?" said Noshishi softly.

Zorori was silent, he didn't move or look up to see the people in the room with him. They could tell this was definitely a hard time he's going through. Ishishi and Noshishi had an idea to make him try to laugh and smile as they knew something coming to mind.

"Zorori, take a look." said Ishishi.

Zorori looked up to see Ishishi and Noshishi and the two boars started to make silly faces at him. Noshishi crossed his eyes and stuck out his surprisingly long, thick, wide and broad sized tongue out of his mouth and made silly noises and Ishishi pulled his mouth apart a little bit and he too stuck out his surprisingly long, thick, wide and broads sized tongue out of his mouth and he too made silly noises. They were trying to make their beloved friend laugh but it didn't work as it was to no avail. Zorori didn't laugh or smile and the two boars stopped as they pulled their huge tongues back in their mouths and made their faces look normal again.

"He usually laughs when we do that." said Noshishi a little surprised.

Cassidy walked over to Zorori and she gently placed her had on his head, knowing he was vulnerable and sensitive right now. Zorori didn't seem to mind her doing this.

"I think what them bullies did to poor Zorori has taken away his peace of mind or his usual disposition and made him depressed or something other than that or all of the above." said Cassidy as she gently hugged him. "Even though them bullies got their punishment, still, the damage a bully can do mostly can never be undone, it's like going through the stages of healing from injuries, they go through denial, anger, depression, fear and more. It's hard to heal from such heart-breaking pain."

Zorori's voice started to break from hearing this and he looked down again as he shed a tear and suddenly began to shed more tears as he was silently crying as he really did feel hurt from what happened to him. Cassidy seemed to have guessed the truth or knew how the situation always pans out. Zorori began to suddenly cry bigger tears and this looked a bit more serious than ever. Cassidy hugged him a bit closer, rubbing his back with one hand while rubbing his belly with her other hand.

"Why does every bad thing happen to me, people are so mean, having no regard for anyone's feelings but their own, I'm just trying to make my mommy proud, is that so much to ask." said Zorori crying his eyes out.

"Come on Zorori, it's alright, you know that nobody hates you." said Cassidy in a motherly tone.

"Yes they do, everytime I even find a girl I like, they don't even give me a chance to be their man. I may be nineteen but I have feelings too." sobbed Zorori as he was feeling so broken.

Cassidy, the nurse, Ishishi and Noshishi were surprised but a bit shocked to see Zorori this way, he's been through some bad days or tough situations and he usually makes sure it doesn't get to him or makes sure it doesn't get in the way of his path of achieving his goals but it looked like he's probably not made of armor and nails as he tries to be, he was looking like he's as fragile as glass. Cassidy was even rocking him slowly back and forth to comfort him which was doing little help, it made his sobs a little softer but not fully helping the situation.

"Should I go get something for him to eat or find someone to maybe help him feel better? We got some doctors here that try to make our patients heal with the power of laughter like a clown or something." said the nurse.

"Something to eat and drink will do but maybe someone who can try to help him stop crying might be an option." said Cassidy.

"I'll be back than." said the nurse as she left to go get what they asked for.

From somewhere in the room was the ghost of Zorori's mother, she was floating above the ceiling as she saw how her heart-broken son sobbing his eyes out from all the misery he's been through, even she had a look of sadness on her face. She floated over to Zorori and Cassidy and saw someone was doing what they could to comfort him but with little success.

"My baby, my sweet, sweet baby." said Zorori's mother Zororeene in a motherly tone.

Zororeene floated closer to her sobbing son and planted a kiss to his forehead, suddenly causing Zorori's sobs to stop or soften up, making Zorori feel strangely warm but comfortably fuzzy inside.

"Mommy." said Zorori softly with a sigh of relief.

"I think Zorori might be starting to feel better, I think." said Noshishi.

The two boars came over to join in hugging Zorori gently to help him feel better which was starting to work. Zororeene floated over to Cassidy and even though they couldn't see her, Zororeene started to whisper in Cassidy's ear.

"Cassidy, help my son, there's got to be a way to show him that people do love him. He needs someone's love and their help now more than ever." whispered Zororeene in Cassidy's ear. "Show him the power of motherly love."

Cassidy felt like she was being told the right thing to do, she might not have known where it was coming from but knew that it had to be a voice in her head and she suddenly got an idea that could work.

"Zorori, I know something that could help but it's probably new to you." said Cassidy keeping her voice soft and loving. "Have you ever heard of a talk show that goes by the name of "The Care Corner" ?"

"I have, what do you want me to do?" asked Zorori softly.

"Well, maybe I can get you on there for a today's show. The talk show specializes in letting the world know that a broken spirit needs to be loved in order to help them heal from the ordeal that has been done on them. It's like bringing the world and people in it together to help people like you heal from the pain and it's actually brought family and friends together to become better, stronger and kinder people." explained Cassidy.

Zorori's heart raced from fear as he was a bit worried and nervous, being on a live show on television, in front of millions was probably something he never expected but it wasn't just them things that got him nervous.

"I don't know if I can, what if the people there say or do something mean to me? I don't think I can take that again." said Zorori shaking from fear.

Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi were hugging Zorori and rubbing his body to help him relax and feel comfort which was helping with his body shaking to stop.

"No one does or says anything mean to anyone there, it's full of people that care and love those who need it, it's kind of like therapy but with healing love. It's like the show's motto says, everyone deserves to be loved, no matter what and no matter how old or young they are." said Cassidy showing him reassurance.

"I hope your right, I can't take anymore mean people, I just can't." said Zorori shedding a tear.

"If anyone does and says anything mean to you, than I'll show them what for." said Cassidy rubbing Zorori's head.

"And we'll be right there with you." said Ishishi and Noshishi in unison.

Zorori started to feel comforted by the idea, even if he is feeling emotionally vulnerable and fragile, he wanted to smile but something about his body inside felt like it didn't have the strength to show a smile. The nurse wolf came back with a cart that had some styrofoam boxes that appeared to be full of food that they were waiting for and some bottles of orange juice to go with it.

"How's our patient?" asked the female wolf nurse.

"He seems to be doing a bit better but still a little fragile." said Noshishi informing the nurse.

The wolf lady walked in and she hooked a table like tray on Zorori's wheelchair and placed a box of food on the tray for Zorori in front of him, she even gave him his bottle of orange juice, than she handed the rest of them their food and drinks.

"Should I bring in the clown?" asked the wolf lady.

"Zorori?" said Cassidy.

Zorori looked at her and blushed, he knew clowns help people laugh and feel good but he didn't know if he was on much for the clown making him laugh at the moment, than he looked down again and began to grow curious of what there was to eat.

"I think we'll call for one in case we do need one in here." said Cassidy.

"I understand, and if Zorori needs anything, let us know." said the nurse wolf.

Zorori opened up his box of food and to his surprise, his favorite food was in there, Anpan. He had felt like someone knew he needed this and he began showing down slowly on his food, he even had some of his orange juice. Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi began to eat too and have orange juice too. As they drank and ate, Cassidy knew that there's a way to set things up for Zorori to be at this talk show and she had already had an idea on how to do it but she knew that they had to be gentle with Zorori.

Three Days Later

As Zorori has been recovering from his injuries, he was still emotionally vulnerable, almost all of his swellings went down but he was still having to have the bandages on him where his cuts and bruises were still healing. Zorori, Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi arrived at a huge building where the talk show is filmed and performed. Zorori was feeling so nervous that he had been slightly clumsy. They were inside the building while Zorori was sitting down back stage with Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi by his side. The young male fox was shaking like he was cold but it was out of nervousness, even though he didn't feel cold when his body felt rather warm and comfortable.

"So whose the host of the show here?" asked Ishishi curiously.

"That would be Yolanda Foster, she's the lady whose usually wearing something that gives off a positive vibe to everyone, which from what I saw today she'll be wearing something in sky blue color." said Cassidy.

"Oh, so your not the host?" said Noshishi a bit surprised. "We kind of suspected the host was you."

"If I was the host, many of the paparazzi would be following me everywhere." said Cassidy as she was letting them know who the show host is.

Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi actually suspected Cassidy to be the host of "The Care Corner" but now that they know Cassidy isn't the host, that explained why no one was going up and seeing her as the host or why the paparazzi wasn't hounding her.

"Five minutes till the show starts, where's mister Zorori?" said a male cat who had wavy hair.

"He's right here, Kenneth." said Cassidy to the wavy haired cat.

"Got it, just making sure we know where he is." said Kenneth as he was listing things down on a clip board.

People who worked there were getting everything ready for the show to start, some would be getting the lighting right, some prepping up the cameras and others doing their jobs there. Zorori still felt like his heart was broken as he could barely speak a word, his face didn't look cheerful, he looked more depressed than cheerful.

"Three minutes till show time." came Kenneth's voice.

"I don't think I can do this guys, it's still hurts inside knowing that people will see me like this, I already know someone is going to mock, tease, bully and be so mean and make things worse. I don't even know if I'm ready for something this big." said Zorori letting out a saddened sigh.

"Come on Zorori-sensei, we're doing this to help you, even get help ourselves if we need it. But we'll be by your side the whole time." said Ishishi trying to inject some reassurance in Zorori.

Kenneth the wavy haired cat came back and came over to Zorori, Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi, knowing this, it was very close to show time for the show to begin.

"Less than two minutes till show time, would mister Zorori want to enter in by walking in or by wheelchair? This show is wheelchair accessible." said Kenneth as he was giving them some options.

Seeing as Zorori was still in a wheelchair, they already knew he'd feel comfortable entering that way.

"He'll come in by wheelchair." said Cassidy.

Cassidy took hold of the wheelchair by the handles to steer Zorori onto the stage as Ishishi and Noshishi walked with him onto the stage. Zorori could see that there was a lot of people in the seats where the audience sat, it literally looked like a full house. Some members of the audience recognized Zorori from him becoming the prankster king and saving the world as some of them waved at him, a few of them blew him a kiss. The show was starting to begin as the lights started to go on and the cameramen got ready for the cameras to start filming. Zorori, Cassidy, Ishishi and Noshishi saw the host of the show sitting down in a seat and she was a tall and slendered bodied mouse with long red hair and was wearing the sky blue uniform that Cassidy mentioned earlier. Ishishi and Noshishi sat on the far left of a couch on stage, Cassidy sat in the middle while she helped Zorori sit down next to her, the young male fox sat on the fair right of the couch, even though there was a few other seats on stage, Zorori lay his head in Cassidy's lap while Cassidy placed one hand on his shoulder and her other hand on his head. The host, Yolanda was in a separate seat that was next to Zorori.

"We're live in five, four, three, two." came a female announcer's voice from what sounded like it was coming from the intercom somewhere around the stage.

The show began and the cameras were rolling, the lights were on in the studio and the audience began to clap as the show started. The clapping eventually died down.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome The Care Corner. I'm Yolanda Foster." said Yolanda as she had an sweet and southern accented voice.

"Hello Yolanda." said the audience.

"That being said, we've got what seems one of our most broken hearted tales we've ever heard of and to ever know. Our guest on our show today has suffered a great deal of pain, both physical and emotional. It hasn't been too long since he's suffered what finally made him go through his breakdown. The cruel teasing, taunting, and the sheer painful beating that he's suffered which he's now in bandages. The king of pranks, Zorori, his two friends, Ishishi and Noshishi and the rescuing yet kind hearted soul who saw poor Zorori needed the love he desperately needs, Cassidy." said Yolanda as she introduced the guests of the show.

The audience clapped as they welcomed the guests that are appearing on the show today. The clapping soon died down again.

"Cassidy, could you tell us what happened when you found Zorori suffering the cruelty from those who beat him up?" asked Yolanda.

"Well, I was assisting local police when I was informing the police about a domestic disturbance but they found out that was a misunderstanding, it turned a loving husband was rushing his wife to the hospital to give birth to her first baby. But than some of the police officers were on patrol from some mysterious lady who called about what Zorori was going through, we arrived there immediately and that's when we saw three big male wolves beating up Zorori and bullying. Zorori tried to defend himself but failed, even his friends here tried to help, still didn't work, that's when me and the police officers stepped in and put a stop to it. Them three bullying wolves were arrested. But poor Zorori not only was hurt physically but he was hurting emotionally." said Cassidy as she told them of the situation. "We got him to a doctor and luckily there were no damages to his organs and no broken bones, just cuts, bruises and some swollen parts."

The audience let out a sympathetic "Awww" and it was a reaction to how the situation sounded to them.

"Did you ever find out who it this unknown lady was who made the call?" asked Yolanda.

"We don't know who she was, never even saw her." said Cassidy as she had no idea who this lady was they mentioned.

Yolanda looked at Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi and it was obvious they never learned who this mysterious lady was that made the call either, no one knew who it was which got them curious.

"But we have found out who ever this lady was, she showed some evidence to prove these three male wolves were doing what they did to poor Zorori. Somehow, one of the officers were given this video evidence to the police officer's station by someone who kept their appearance hidden, someone who wore a black trench coat, a bucket hat that covered their eyes and that was it." explained Cassidy. "They said this was probably the lady but she dropped it off to the police station sometime after Zorori was taken to the doctor. This video shows what them bullies did."

Yolanda knew that this video was proof that the three bullies beaten up Zorori but knew it might be a bit graphic if anyone watched it.

"Do you have the tape now?" asked Yolanda.

"Yes, but it's kind of, well, you know." said Cassidy looking like she was nervous about telling them more about it.

"A bit violent?" guessed Yolanda.

Cassidy nodded and that answered everything, she pulled out a copy of the video from a bag she had with her and gave it to Yolanda.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what your about to see may be a bit extreme, if anyone is doesn't like to see anything that is graphic, than you have permission to leave the room or you can cover your eyes." warned Yolanda.

A big screen came down from the ceiling and Yolanda put the copy of the tape in a tape player, they all watched and as the video played, they all saw it all. They saw how Zorori was being bullied on the video, them wolves calling him names, teasing and taunting him and how they were hitting and beating him up. This shocked them all as Zorori didn't look, he couldn't bare to watch that painful event in his life again. After the video was over, the big screen went up and Yolanda looked just as shocked as everyone else. Cassidy rubbed Zorori's head and his fox like ears to comfort him as he shed a tear.

"I can't believe it, why anyone would pick on and bully someone whose smaller than them is about as mean as adults who yell at children." said Yolanda turning to look at Zorori with sympathy.

"Poor Zorori." said the audience.

Even Ishishi and Noshishi knew this wasn't easy for Zorori but knew they were there for him.

"And this was happening while Zorori was traveling. Has Zorori been through this kind of pain before?" asked Yolanda curiously.

At first, their was silence for a moment. Cassidy didn't really know how to answer this but Ishishi and Noshishi seemed to know it.

"I'm afraid so." said Ishishi grimly.

"Sometimes people have treated Zorori unfairly, some have tried to cheat him out of something he earned, some have blamed him for something that wasn't his fault, some of them even said and done mean things to him." said Noshishi as he knew it wasn't easy to tell them this. "We would do what we could to help him yet sometimes it would happen again."

Zorori let out a voice breaking sniffle as he knew what they meant, he was remembering the times when people were so mean to him from what they said or did to him in the past, even when he fought back, he tried to remain cheerful in those times but he knew that what was said and done still hurt him. The audience let out another sympathetic "Awww" again.

"So people have screwed him over for no reason? That's just, evil." said Yolanda looking sympathetic towards Zorori.

"Even girls he fell in love with did the same." said Noshishi as he knew they had to know more.

"Unrequited love, how did that turn out?" asked Yolanda.

Zorori shed another tear and let out another voice breaking sniffle as he knew this wasn't a happy subject for him. His friends knew it but they knew that they had to tell them so everyone could understand since they're all hear for him.

"Them girls were beautiful, but many of them turned Zorori down. Some didn't notice his affection towards them and ended up with someone else, some rejected his affections harshly, some of them even showed interest in him but still ended up with someone else. That made Zorori feel nothing but pain." said Ishishi as he explained to them how it turned out.

The audience let out another sympathetic "Awww" as they knew that falling in love does have it's bad ends. Zorori shed a few more tears as he remembered all of them girls I fell in love with but never loved him back. Cassidy was rubbing his side to comfort him.

"Was there at least one girl that loved Zorori?" asked Yolanda.

Zorori shook his head slowly as he gave them their answer. Zorori was feeling like he would burst into tears right than and there but he was trying not to break which he was doing good so far.

"Oh my, I can understand how painful that is, many people have had that happen to them before. I've heard of people who had dated so many girls that it was like they all just made-love and nothing else but this is something that can affect people." said Yolanda as she knew how love life is.

"Those who have suffered through unrequited love pains have lead to depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and rapid mood swings between depression and euphoria. Men who suffered through this often felt unloved or have had their lives affected tragically which of course, Zorori has been through and what's worse is that the rejectors don't realize how cruel, mean and insensitive they've been to them. It's enough to make an old man break down." explained Cassidy as she told them how this affects people.

Everyone there understood as many murmurs were heard from the audience. They al knew how Zorori must feel about this since he's been through it many times.

"Usually people who suffered through this can heal from the love and support or family and friends, does Zorori have any family?" asked Yolanda.

"That's a bit of a touchy subject for Zorori." said Noshishi.

"We're all here for Zorori in his time of pain, we want to understand so we can help him." said Yolanda with a supportive look.

They knew this was correct and Zorori knew this too. They let out a sigh of breath.

"My mother died, it happened when I was coming of age, I loved my mother so much and she loved me so much." said Zorori softly.

"Awww, poor Zorori." said the audience sympathetically.

"And your dad?' asked Yolanda.

"He's still around, I see him from time to time, he travels around like I do, he comes to me when ever I needed his help on anything. Although, sometimes I wouldn't mind seeing him a bit more. The only way we keep in contact is by sending letters or other ways of contact." explained Zorori softly.

Ishishi and Noshishi knew this was true when Zorori told them bit more about his dad but also knew that Zorori wouldn't mind seeing him a bit more. The audience seem to know and think this was some cheerful news.

"Where is your father right now, do you know?" asked Yolanda curiously.

"He's closer than you think." came a male voice.

Everyone turned to see who it was that spoke and the audience, Cassidy, Yolanda, Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi all turned to see the one who is speaking. It was Zorori's father, Zorondo Ron. Zorondo walked down over to Zorori and was on the stage quickly, he was standing next to Zorori.

"And who are you, sir?" asked Yolanda and Cassidy in unison.

"Zorondo Ron, my dad." answered Zorori for them.

The audience looked amazed to see this. Zorori was sitting up straight now.

"I heard my son on the radio and I knew that right now, I had to be there for him when I heard about his ordeal. I heard everything." said Zorondo.

"How long have you been listening?" asked Cassidy.

"I heard everything from when my son's name was mentioned, I was able to find the building to this show thanks to some people in town who informed me." said Zorondo. "When I heard of my son's emotional break down from all the times he's suffered, I felt angry at those who made my son feel pain."

Everyone knew that Zorondo was having every right to feel this way, he even helped Zorori get up on his feet and embraced his son in a hug, making Zorori feel like the weight was being lifted off him. The audience let out an adored "Awww" as a reaction.

"It's like an emotional reunion when we had reunited an army hero with his family after he was lost at see, but this one of our most emotional moments when it comes to family and love." said Yolanda as she shed a tear. "Zorori, if all of those people who had hurt you in the past were here right now, what do you think would happen?"

Zorori probably didn't feel very hopeful about that at all, he was thinking that all of those people who hurt him in the past probably wouldn't be very nice to him at all, he let out a sigh of sadness.

"I don't think they'd want to see me, they'd probably make me go through the pain again and I can't bare it again." said Zorori sadly.

"Actually, that might be the opposite." said another male voice.

Everyone turned to see who spoke and it was more people. There stood Professor Gaon, Zorori's rival whom Zorori defeated in the prankster king competition, some of Zorori's friends he made over time that have helped him and who he helped out as well, Nelly, her sister Milly, Roger, Naj?, Puppe, all of Zorori's friends he has made and those he has helped and those who have helped him, all of the girls that Zorori had fallen in love with but got rejected by, all of the males who have ended up with any of the women that Zorori got rejected by, even all of the people that have said and done mean things to Zorori that hurt him were all there. Zorori looked away from them.

"Zorori." said the male who spoke and it was Professor Gaon.

"Can you explain to us why you and the other new arrivals are here?" asked Yolanda.

"We heard about Zorori's recent break down and well, we're all the people who in the past have said or done something that hurt him." said Professor Gaon looking guilty.

The audience fell silent and they all looked like they had a firm look on their faces as if they were letting them know that what they did to Zorori was mean, evil and wrong. Professor Gaon and the rest of them who arrived just now all had guilty looks on their faces.

"Do you have anything to say to Zorori?" said Cassidy looking like she was in the same vote with the audience.

"If Zorori is willing to listen, than yes." said Professor Gaon.

The audience was listening and so was Zorori, Yolanda, Cassidy, Ishishi, Noshishi and everyone else. Professor Gaon was the first to speak.

"Zorori, I've said and done things that hurt you, I've even brought your mom into this when I didn't know you lost her a while back, I've even caused you nothing but trouble and I'm so sorry. After realizing you had a break down from them bullies who hurt you, I know that I'm just as guilty as they are and I hate myself for what I have said and done. I'm so sorry." said Professor Gaon. "I hope you can forgive me, even though I don't deserve it, looks like you win and I lose."

"Zorori, we should've given you a chance with us, knowing you were in love with either one of us, we should've known about your affections for either one of us. We rejected you, we said and done things that hurt you, we never even tried to get to know you so you could let us know how much of a good guy you are, even when either of us married someone else, we know now that hurt you even more and we're all very sorry Zorori." said all of the women that Zorori ever fell in love with. "We hope you can forgive us, even though we don't deserve it, looks like you win and we lose."

They all had guilty looks on their faces, the audience, Zorondo Ron, Zorori, Cassidy, Yolanda, Ishishi and Noshishi and everyone else all looked like they were convinced and even Zorori felt his spirits lifting, the look of sadness from his face was disappearing, it was if he was back to his old self again.

"Zorori, we're sorry if we ever said or done anything that caused you pain but we want to be here for you to support you, we hope you can forgive us." said all of Zorori's friends.

Zorori was definitely feeling much better and he looked at them all, he knew that if they were not looking at him in the eyes than it would be a lie and all of them were looking him right in the eyes, facing him.

"We want to become better people and change for the better so we never hurt Zorori again, or anyone." said Professor Gaon and they all nodded.

"I think I can forgive all of you if you were to hug me, just to let all of us feel the love and to help me feel loved." said Zorori.

"That we can do." said Professor Gaon.

One by one they gathered and Professor Gaon gave Zorori a hug, all of Zorori's friends that were male gave him a hug, all of Zorori's friend that were female gave him a hug and kiss, all of the women that Zorori fell in love with hugged and kissed him, all of them who arrived that have said or done things that hurt Zorori hugged him, all of those who helped Zorori and all of those Zorori helped hugged him. This was all making Zorori so happy that he shed a tear of joy. The audience let out an adored "Awww" and it helped them feel the love too. Cassidy, Yolanda, Zorondo Ron, Ishishi and Noshishi hugged Zorori and this was helping Zorori heal from all the pain.

"Zorori, this is one of our most touching moments through this show's history, is it okay if I ask you something out of curiosity for the audience?" asked Yolanda shedding another tear.

"Anything." said Zorori.

"Is there any reason why you and your friends were traveling together, I've heard some rumors and stories and we want to know the truth so we can confirm anything or find out if any other rumors were false." asked Yolanda.

The audience looked at him and were interested too. Zorori knew he could tell them which was something he suspected he would do eventually.

"To fulfill my mother's last wishes and make her proud, even teach my friends Ishishi and Noshishi everything I know. So far I accomplished one of my mother's wishes, become the king of pranks. The last two wishes is to have my own castle and marry my dream woman as my bride, I want to try and succeed on those on my own if that's okay with everyone?" said Zorori as he revealed the answer. "I'll only accept help in them departments if I need it or if anyone wants to assist me which I will accept when I need it."

The audience let out an adored "Awww" as they knew that Zorori doing this for his mother was like how a mom and dad would successfully raise their kids to become good, kind, brave, strong and better people who will do good for the world and everyone in it.

"Well Zorori, we can understand that, although, if you ever need assistance with either of those, you can always ask for assistance, everybody needs help from time to time, there's nothing wrong with it." said Cassidy proudly. "Even if you need a place to stay, my home is always open, even for your friends."

"Thanks Cassidy, that makes me feel like there's hope, even when I need someone to lean on." said Zorori with a smile.

Just as Zorori and everyone heard that, a bright gold light was being seen floating around. Zorori and everyone saw it floating lower and lower towards Zorori and when it got closer, it formed into a person and a few other people. One of them formed into a light yellow furred female fox and both Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi recognized her, it was wearing nothing but white and a gold halo was floating over her head and white wings were on her back. She was now standing in front of Zorori, it was his mother, Zororeene. The others were angels who helped Zorori from time to time.

"Mommy." said Zorori happily.

"My baby boy." said Zororeene sweetly.

Zororeene pulled Zorori in for a hug and she kissed him on his forehead, causing him to smile and feel warm inside. Zorori hugged her back.

"Is she?' said Yolanda surprised.

"Yes, I'm an angel from heaven and I'm Zorori's mother." said Zororeene.

Everyone there was surprised to see this as many of them never saw an angel from heaven before, it was like seeing God in person.

"I'm hear to help my baby heal from the pain and all pain that he's suffered from. Even when a loved one is deceased, they still watch over their loved ones and love them forever." said Zororeene to everyone.

Zororeene than turned her attention to Zorori as she rubbed his head and his back slowly up and down to comfort him. She rocked her son back and forth slowly in her arms which was working to comfort and heal him.

"Zorori, I know that no matter how many times you had something happen to you, there was somehow a way you would pick yourself up again and again but I see now that this time, you need someone to help pick you up and heal the pain." said Zororeene softly.

"Mommy, you always knew what to do when I felt down." said Zorori softly.

The audience was letting out an adored "Awww" as Zororeene was comforting her son, even Cassidy, Zorondo, Ishishi and Noshishi were remaining close by to Zorori the whole time.

"Zorori, you know I'll always be watching over you, that's the thing about angels in heaven, we're always watching." said Zororeene. "Zorori, your doing so well in what you're doing, you've become the king of pranks, although, when you find the woman of your dreams who becomes your bride, make sure she truly is your dream woman and not someone who turns out to be a fake, sometimes looks can be deceiving so always make sure it truly is your dream woman."

"I will mommy." said Zorori letting out a comforting sigh of relief.

As Zororeene was comforting her son, she knew there was more to tell to others.

"Cassidy, when ever my son and his friends need a place to stay, make sure your door is always open." said Zororeene to Cassidy.

"I will." said Cassidy.

"Ishishi and Noshishi, always make sure you help my son when he needs both of you, he'll always help both of you two as well." said Zororeene.

"We will." said Ishishi and Noshishi in unison.

"Professor Gaon, your rivalry with my son will have to end if your going to change for the better." said Zororeene. "And no more saying and doing anything mean to my son."

"Yes ma'am." said Professor Gaon.

"And to all of those who know Zorori as a friend, all those who arrived here that have apologized to my son and all those here who are going to change for the better for my son's sake, you are to keep your promise and if Zorori needs help in life, you are to assist him and he will do the same for you." said Zororeene out loud to everyone else.

"Yes ma'am, we will." they all said in unison.

Zororeene and the rest of angels who were with her all embraced Zorori in a group hug, they all gave him a kiss to his forehead and his cheeks, making him blush, smile and feel so arm all over inside.

"I'll always love you, Zorori baby, I love you." said Zororeene softly. "There may come another time when I'll help you again Zorori, when you really need it."

"I'll always love you too mommy, I love you too." said Zorori softly.

Zororeene and the rest of the angels started to place their hands on Zorori and their hands were starting to glow bright gold all over him. Zorori felt strange, his whole body felt warm like he was warming up in a warm and comfortable bed.

"Zorori, let the power of love heal your pain from inside and outside of you." said one of the angels.

Everyone was seeing something that they figured was possible in the movies but this was no special effects or computer generation. They could see all of the injuries that Zorori had on his body slowly disappearing, even the pain that he felt inside was healing as well.

"They're healing him." said Professor Gaon looking surprised.

"It's alright Zorori baby, just relax and let the power of love heal you from all pain." said Zororeene kindly.

Eventually, the gold light disappeared and the angels let everyone see that all of the pain and injuries that Zorori had on his body were completely gone as if he was never hurt, he was completely healed by quite a miracle. Zorori and his mother hugged each other happily.

"Oh mommy, thanks for healing me, thanks to you and the angels, I feel so much better." said Zorori feeling better.

"Your welcome Zorori." said the angels.

"Your welcome honey." said Zororeene.

As Zororeene released her grip from Zorori along with the other angels, that's when Cassidy, Yolanda, Zorondo, Ishishi and Noshishi embraced Zorori in a group hug and Zorori hugged them back.

"Zorori my baby, I know I'll have to go back to heaven but remember what I've said, angels are always watching over those they love till one day they're together again. I'll always love you." said Zororeene as she gave Zorori one last hug and kiss.

The angel even gave Zorori one last hug and kiss too as they were slowly rising back up to heaven and slowly disappearing. Zorori, Cassidy, Yolanda, Zorondo, Ishishi and Noshishi, waved at the angels and Zororeene as they waved back.

"I'll always love you Zorori, I'm always watching over you." said Zororeene as she faded from view.

As Zororeene and the angels disappeared from view and went back to heaven, Zorori knew that everything was alright. Cassidy, Yolanda, Zorondo, Ishishi and Noshishi went back to embracing Zorori lovingly as those who have apologized to Zorori knew that they will change for the better for Zorori's sake. Cassidy made sure that Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi always had a home to live in when ever they needed a place to stay and it was at Cassidy's own house. Zorondo found a way to make sure that both him and Zorori can stay in contact with each other and they would see each other from time to time when ever they need each other or when ever they want to. Zorori even learned that Duke Bururu, Koburu, Duke Bururu's assistant and Mayor Porks have been arrested for their crimes and were put away for good, Zorori figured that this was karma and probably God's way of punishing Duke Bururu, Koburu and Mayor Porks for the cruel things they have said and done to him. Zorori did find out that someone has cleared both his, Ishishi and Noshishi's record completely of all acts of crime because both Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi were proven innocent all along of everything but Zorori, Cassidy, Yolanda, Zorondo, Ishishi, Noshishi, Zorori's friends and everyone else had something on their minds. Who was it that told the police about the bullies who hurt Zorori, who showed them the video evidence of the event to put them bullies away and to prove that Zorori needed help, who cleared Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi's records and cleared their names of anything and everything to prove they're innocent the whole time and who was it that seemed to be doing the miracle that helped Zorori so much to help him feel better, heal from his pain and convinced everyone to change for the better for Zorori's sake? No one knew who it was, all they knew was it was a mysterious woman that none of them knew. Who was she and where was she, no one knew but she was probably somewhere watching Zorori or doing what she could to help the young male fox. For now, Zorori, Ishishi and Noshishi decided to take a few days or weeks to rest and relax at Cassidy's loving home.

The End
