Chapter 16: Disputes.

Thick, swirling massive clouds from last night dampened and darkened the heavens on an early Wednesday morning; beautifying the sky with its shallow and terrifying smoky waves of blue clouds along with a creamy touch of white. As the atmosphere darkly mystified, tiny shards of ice watery mists crystallized into aquatic beads and wistfully fogged its way down the glacial surface.

Depriving the land of sight and clarity.

Mother Nature ran her course bringing forth of possibly the most unbearable blizzard to come. And despite being so predictable, she allowed the Mystic Ruins community to take precaution as it would seemed everyone will be forced to stay indoors for the next few days.

While residents were getting a head start out of bed to stock up supplies from the nearest market and outlet stores, one particular beige house was completely oblivious to the upcoming snow storm. Namely, one pink hedgehog and her dark companion ignored all signs of warnings while lying tucked away safely in the comfort of their prosperous house.

And still...

...Wide awake in her tiny room.

Highlighting every white walls and corners as the ravishing cerulean rays provided strong abundance of balance and harmony; the beaming ultramarine night-light flooded the bedroom of Amy Rose, frightening even the most savage-looking shadowy beasts that shrieked in anguish and degenerated into nothingness as specs of black petals floated towards the ceiling.

From the far end of the room.

There, dressed only in her long brown sleeveless shirt and black panties. Amy stood in front of the window and aimlessly drew circles on the lucid glass in a sunken daydream. "Did Shadow really mean what he said?" She thought, narrowing her blurry green jewels with a sigh. Thinking, the pink flower gazed really hard at glass-frame in front of her and curled a fragile...sultry smile, pulling her finger away. "Does he really love me?" She pressed her lips tighter and giggled, swaying her head.

'of course, he does' Her heart just spoke.

Gasp.

Startled, Amy.

The pink flower's soft hand padded the left of her bosom and eyeballed down. "You think so?" She contemplated, closing her eyes as she patiently waited for her next answer while standing stiff like a statue.

Waiting.

-tick, tock, tick, tock-

No response was given.

Amy scrunched a face that screamed 'how embarrassing' because it seemed every wall and furniture in her room murmured behind her back thus laughing afterwards. Hearing the boastful chortle within the supposed quiet room, the pink flower stomped her injured leg and grimaced bitterly, knowing full well that stung. But it did manage to stop the laughter coming from every inanimate objects in her room for taking such crude humor to her serious question.

There, silent as it should be.

Heaving an annoyed huff of air and pouting while eyes remained closed, Amy held her breath. "Well," In agitation, her lashes fluttered. "Does Shadow love me or not?" She asked her heart, one...more...

Time.

-tick, tock, tick, tock-

...Waiting.

'sigh'

Hn?

Amy's brows rose and she exhaled.

'he kissed you, right' Her heart groaned.

Oh.

The world faded into white and Amy hazily opened her eyes like she just woke up from a beautiful dream. Placing a heel behind one of her legs and criss-crossing her arms against her bosom, she twirled so magically... so gracefully...to the point her head was starting to swim. Oh, how the pink flower wished she wore her long-lost white gown if it hadn't been torn badly during her recent accident. Then, she'd really feel like a princess.

On her last spin.

She stopped, exquisitely.

Amy stared into space across the wall with her back turned to the window, standing in front of her bed. "That kiss was my first and after Shadow kissed me," She cogitated, placing two fingers on her lips and hung her head low, twinkling her thick eye lashes. "His eyes were very glossy and face so flushed." Her quills draped over her right eye, concealing her hidden beauty. "Whoever thought a man can looked that beautiful?" She gulped, feeling the unnerving saliva hit her stomach.

After deliriously reminiscing her sweet moments of her potential ebony mate, watching that unmade bed with the blankets half across the floor brightened Amy's face. She yawned and tippy-toed her way to bed. "It'll be heaven just sleeping in all day." She hoped, halting her last step and leaned forward, pressing her palms firmly on the mattress with her panties exposed to the window from behind. "You know," She paused and eyeballed the ceiling with only one knee on the bed. "Maybe that's why I decided to come back home with Shadow." The pink flower spoke aloud, displaying a lip-squeezing grin. "For a while, I've always tried to befriend him in any way I could and instead, gained something better. Shadow's the first friend who's ever had any romantic feelings towards me." She lectured herself, coming to her own realization.

"And if a friend says he loves you..." Her sweet, drowsy-like melodic voice trailed off, cupping her head with a girly smile. "You can love him back, too..." Amy whispered, moving her neck down. "...R-riiiight...?" She stuttered, apprehensively.

Tap Tap

Tap Tap Tap Tap!

Rapid tapping was heard.

Huh?

Amy wrinkled her chin and puckered lips, guessing while displaying a weird expression. "That sounded...like..." She averted her eyes, glancing over her shoulders. "...It came from the window." She assumed, struggling to retain her balance while her feet was implanted to the floor. Narrowing her verde spheres, she tried to outline a vague yet unhappy blue silhouette outside from her room through the window...

Shit, nevermind.

It's Sonic the Hedgehog.

Much to her shock, Amy's arms turned jelly and almost gave out. "What're you doing here?" She rasped through the glass-frame and tried to sound clueless. Yet, she knew FULL well why the blue blur was here in the first place.

Amy was supposed to wait for him at the hospital.

Sonic made a face and planted his palms onto the window, gazing hard through the fogged glass-frame. "I should be aski-" He paused and his eyes widened, bashfully. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, AMY!" He cried out and his arms flung in different directions, staggering back. "Where are your pants?" He squealed, forcing his lids shut and wrapped an arm over his eyes.

Eh?

Confused, the pink flower cocked a lazy brow as she was still looking over her shoulders. "What does he mean?" Blinking, her nose slowly moved down to where her exposed buns and she mentally shrieked. "Oh my Chaos, Sonic accidentally saw my panties!" She flushed in madness, darting her eyes up at Sonic through the window. "Sorry about that, Sonic!" Amy apologized, coughing a fake laugh and stood up straight, correcting her posture.

"Just find something to cover yourself, will ya!?" Sonic shouted back through the window.

"Okay, okay!" Amy answered, hurriedly. Looking back down on the bed, her face sparkled an idea when she eyed the wrinkled blanket. "This should do." Showing that pearly white smile, she snatched the covers off the mattress and wrapped it around her waistline. "Alright, I'm good." The pink flower called back and circled her body, facing the window in her makeshift 'long skirt'.

"You mean, it's safe to look?" Sonic still had his eyes closed.

"Ugh...yeeaah." Amy stretched her tone, rolling her eyes at Sonics' bashful state.

Removing an arm from off his muzzle, Sonic opened his eyes and nodded in happiness. "Ah, thanks for that." He gave his gratitude and Amy bowed from the inside in front of him, respectively.

"You're welcome." The pink flower replied, in modesty.

"Could you let me in now, please?" The blue blur asked, considerately.

Amy cheeked an uneasy smile but nodded at his request. "Sure thing." She acknowledged and pulled a poker-face, making her way towards the window. "I bet he's going try to drag me out, kicking and screaming." She imagined and squinted down, fumbling her fingers.

Watching Amy walking on eggshells like she was trying to avoid stepping on landmines, Sonic twisted a suspicious grin at his hammer-using comrade, knowing how this was all going to play out. "Yeah Amy, I am going to try to drag you out of here, kicking and screaming." He technically read her mind and body.

With little bravery, the pink flower made her stop in front of the window and placed both hands over the latch. "Here it comes." She prepared herself and played with the latch until it opened. And in doing so, a full-scale winter air breezed in and Amy backed up just to give Sonic some room to come in.

The azure hedgehog's face shone.

Gripping the bottom part on the window, Sonic bounced up and acrobatically swung his legs over by putting all his weight in his arms, landing smoothly on his feet with a soft thud. Dusting his hands off with a nod of confidence, he turned and gave his attention to Amy who appeared to have both arms wrapped around herself for dear warmth. "I've seen this before." He smiled lazily and familiarity, much to his joy. Sonic stepped closer to the shivering Amy and mildly embraced her, looking down protectively at the pink flower. "You alright there, Amy?" He hummed and pulled closer, squeezing her affectionately.

Feeling the heat engulfed her like a day at the beach, Amy stopped shivering and her cheeks flared. Looking up at the blue hedgehog who winked at her in reassurance. She tweaked a smile. "I am now..." In coyness, she turned her face away, giggling. "Thanks to you." She whispered, turning her gaze back at him.

Even though Amy gradually pushed herself from Sonic to give space between the two of them, to her surprise, Sonic stepped closer again and placed both hands on her shoulders. "Good." He smiled before his face went blank. "Because you're coming home with me like...Now." He confirmed, seriously.

The pink flowers face fell, stupidly. "Crud." Quickly coming to her senses, she back up against the bed and threw her arms at Sonic, trying to him from coming closer. "Wait-no, Sonic. You can't." She shook her head and protested, hastily.

Sonic refused to comply.

"No, Amy." He anticipated, protectively. "This is for your own good." Sonic grabbed hold of Amy's wrist and jerked himself the opposite direction, struggling to leave out the window with the pink flowers feet dragging on the carpet. "Where's the rest of your things?" He called back and asked, trying to get Amy to come along already.

Though her feet skirmished frantically on the soft carpet. Amy leaned and pulled even further back to the point her buttocks almost touched the floor, desperately trying to find her footing in place. When Sonic gripped tighter, she grimaced. Feeling a bruise ringing around her wrist. "My suitcase was never recovered an-"

"Nevermind," Sonic interrupted and heaved, lifting one foot at a time. Damn, when did Amy get this strong? "I'll buy you new clothes." He said and surprisingly, he staggered back in a halt.

Amy managed to stop him.

"Why are you doing this!?" She flared, trying to shake her wrist free.

"I'm not going to sit here and let Shadow have his way with you again!" Sonic thundered, tightening his grip.

"But y-you don't understand." Amy stuttered, jerking her wrist even harder.

Tsk.

Sonic averted his eyes and jerked his neck around, twisting a crude smirk on his muzzle. "You darn right I don't understand, Amy." He admitted, in slight confusion and cocked a brow. "How could you allow Shadow to take you back after what he's put you through?" He said, disappointingly.

Jumping into action, Amy moved her legs back and stood up straight, snatching her wrist away in before Sonic had a chance to react. "Shadow explained his actions and apologized for what he's done." She heaved, looking down at her bruised wrist, soothing it. "He swears it!" She said, in a low and huffing tone.

In a blink of an eye, Sonic literally zipped in front of Amy's face and his gaze hardened. Much to his surprise, not one time Amy was fazed or startled by his recent move. "So he's a few words and all of a sudden things are back to normal, s'that what you're telling me?" He assumed, directly.

Thinking, Amy's hand cradled the back of her quills and she distractedly turned her gaze, trying to come up with a good story. "When Shadow managed to find me at Wolfgang's Memorial Hospital." She paused, smacking her dry lips and eying Sonic. "He went over some things with me as to why he did what he did. I know it was too soon for me to forgive him, especially with the incident still fresh in my mind. But truthfully, Shadow didn't mean to inflict this amount of pain and grief upon me." She closed her eyes and zoned out, hearing nothing but the sounds of Sonic's breathing.

And because Amy was so distracted with herself, she didn't hear or sense the shadow of the blue blur closing in on her. Feeling the sudden darkness, even though her eyes remained closed, the pink flower snapped her lids open and glanced up at Sonic in befuddlement. Who appeared to have a questioning demeanor along with a look of discontent.

"First off; how did Shadow even know you be at THAT specific hospital?" Sonic asked, using his small voice.

"I don't know I mean-" Amy coughed in a scoff and shrugged, shaking her head without a single clue. "He IS an agent of G.U.N. No telling where Shadow gets his resources from." She expressed, boldly.

Sonic took his gaze away from Amy and looked over his shoulders, realizing this whole time him and his friend were arguing, the window was still opened. "So close to taking her out of here." He lost hope, for now. Circling his heel, he casually walked towards the window and reached out to close the two separate glass-frames together, latching the middle lock. "Can I ask you something?" Sonic trailed off, whispering in question while his back still turned to Amy.

"Sure, go ahead." Amy encouraged and her cheeks tightened, in affliction.

"The way how you described your story before, I thought Shadow may have had some pent-up sexual frustration he intended to release on you." The blue blur paused, dropping his shoulders. "That was one of the reasons why I wanted to take you away him, I didn't want you to be stuck with something like that." Secretly, Sonic narrowed his eyes and cocked a brow, in suspicion. "And now, with this new info I'm hearing since the start of your conversation, my question is, why DID he do it in the first place?" He demanded and his ears flinched when he heard Amy gasp.

...

Was there more to what he imagined?

Amy wrapped both arms around her mid-section and closed her eyes. Already feeling the nervousness where her upper abdomen rested. She can almost feel her insides liquefying the acidity from her stomach and burping its way up her throat. "Because Sonic, Shadow is attracted to me but you wouldn't understand that, now would you?" Her mind wavered and answered, indirectly.

And the thought of telling Sonic what else was said from her ebony roommate; boy, she would not hear the end of it. And that's not all, if she was to tell Sonic how Shadow truly feels about her and how she considered returning his feelings, either Sonic is going to force Amy out the house-For sure.

Or worse,

Start a commotion.

But whatever the case. She can't lie to a guy like Sonic.

Opening her eyes in vigor, Amy stood her ground and mustered the courage to speak with a meek attempt of determination. "...because shadow finds me...attractive, t-that's why." OH, how she failed so terribly at that, the way how she squeaked and sounding so pitifully cute.

"The hell!?"

Sonic stood completely still.

Hearing nothing but silence made Amy feel a bit thrown off by Sonic's silent attitude. "Did he hear me?" Hesitantly, Amy stretched a hand out like she was calling to him but pulled back, averting her gaze where the floor was. "He's just standing there." Her wondering eyes focused the back at him, perking her ears. "May as well continue." The pink flower closed her eyes, clearing her throat. "The feeling was there all along, Sonic. Shadow just didn't know how to express it in words so the only thing he knew how to do was show it physically. That's why things turned out the way it did and we would've continued if I hadn't asked him if he loved me." Gaping, she face-palmed and groaned.

She mentioned the 'L' word.

Yet, refusing to still speak, the Sonic's eyes darkened at her last sentence. "What does she mean, love? Amy never mentioned that from her original story." Trying to keep his cool, he crossed his arms and faintly hummed, closing his eyes as he snorted air through his nose. "Any more info you left out, Amy?" He droned, solemnly.

Amy bit her tongue and made a sour face. Too be honest, the love part was the only thing she DID left out but her 'Shadow the hedgehog-wannabe' friend acted like she was keeping secrets. "No, that was all I kept to myself and if you drop the 'apathetic' attitude, I'll explain more what else happened since Shadow's arrival at the hospital, Sonic." She quipped, boasting her assertiveness.

Sighing, Sonic immediately turned his heel around after hearing his friends aggression and walked away from the window, approaching Amy with a smile of endearment. "I didn't mean to get so uptight." He soothed, watching the pink flower drop her guard. "I care so much about you and what you're telling me now...Hell, I'm still trying to let what happen last time sink in." He added, in honesty.

The pink flower faintly simpered. "As always, you still act as my hero." She giggled, humbly. "But Shadow is my admirer now." Her mind said in secret and she folded her hands from behind. "Well, let me finish the rest of my story." Amy spoke and tiled her head, lively.

The azure hedgehog smirked and nodded. "Sure. So, what else happened?" He questioned, softly and in curiosity.

Amy nodded and hummed, looking directly in Sonic's eyes. "If I remember what else was said; Shadow came to realize that he did, in fact, had a thing for me. He actually enjoyed my time with him but like early on, he sucked at using touching words. And before he even got a chance to tell me, I was already gone and...I'm sure you can figure out the rest." The pink flower remembered, faintly.

"Yeah, I know." Sonic remembered and grabbed a handful of quills from the back of his head, looking the other direction. "And like every story, there's always the good part, right?" He eyed back, raising his brows, brightly and suspiciously.

Oh.

The pink flower was afraid of this but hell, may as well get it over with. Her body stiffened and her tiny hands curled up. She can almost feel a bead of sweat passing through her left brow, leaving a dampened trail coming from her forehead. "When Shadow got the chance to speak more of his admiration towards me, he admitted that fell in love with me and we shared..."

She gulped.

"We shared a kiss." Amy finished.

The world turned black and white.

And at the right moment, time seemed to move forward when Sonics' mouth hit the floor. "Kissing? No, forget the kiss, Shadow loves Amy?" He blinked wide-eyed. "Shadow and Amy, together!?" Thinking, his mind was coming up a lot of new and inappropriate words that shouldn't be allowed in the Mobian dictionary. "Are you really telling me all this, Amy?" Sonic stammered, temporarily disbelieving her. "Shadow said, he loves you!?" He exclaimed, whipping his arms out in hysterics.

If it was possible for anyone to shrink ten times smaller than their normal size, Amy would've done so already. "I know Shadow means well this time otherwise, I would have never agreed to come home with him." Amy meekly said and grinned nervously, trying to ease up the situation.

"What time did Shadow pick you up, anyway?" Sonic asked and crossed his arms, traditionally tapping his foot on the carpet.

"...Oh actually," Amy mumbled and her ears drooped. "He came last night." She squeaked, cutely.

"Last NIGHT!?" He blurted out, somewhat baffled. "What time last night?" Sonic demanded, still psyched out.

Turning her back at Sonic, a shade of darkness cascaded over the pink flowers eyes. "I don't know but when I attempt to follow Shadow out the hospital last night, I figured the night was still young because he promised he'll stay til morning in the lobby if I return to my room before discharge. However when it was time to go, I do remember leaving before 5:20 a.m." She clarified, lifting her head and the shade of darkness washed away from her eyes, revealing her beautiful green jewels once again.

Sonic slapped a hand over the side of his head and glared ridiculously at the back of Amy. "And I came an HOUR after they left because I wasn't sure when or what time Amy was going to be release. Never in my life had I felt so slow getting to anyone. Not to mention how stupid I looked when the hospital clerk told me Amy were accompanied by a 'dark' and 'handsome' individual." He rolled his eyes, admitting to himself in stupidity. "Where's Shadow now?" The azure hedgehog asked, impassively.

Eh?

Amy threw her head back and rolled her eyes, eyeballing Sonic with a half-focused gaze. "Last I checked, I left him hanging in the kitchen." She guessed, twisting a stray quill that hung loose over her face. "Why?" She replied, sleepily batting her lashes.

Sonic shook his head and displayed a brooding gaze. Walking around Amy thus leaving her behind, he headed straight for the door. "Don't worry about it." He said nonchalantly, brushing her off.

Stunned, Amy watched Sonic carefully when his hand grabbed the knob the minute he got to the door, slowly turning it in suspense. Pulling the door open half-way open, a spark of light zipped past Amy's head when she immediately realized what her old crush was up to. "Sonic, you can't be serious. " Amy hinted a tone of warning, feeling edgy about Sonic facing Shadow.

Snorting, half of Sonic's body only made it out in the opening paralleled between Amy's room and the dark hallway. "I'm just going set things straight with Shadow, once and for all." He promised, peeking over a shoulder and flashing a hard glare. "But I gotta say, there's no way I'm leaving you here with him after hearing all what you just told me. Once I'm through with him, you're coming home with me." He ordered, firmly and protectively.

"You can't do this to me, Sonic." The pink flower defied, not believing her own ears when her blue hero still plans to remove her away from Shadow. "I'm staying with him whether you lik-

"Forget it, Amy." The azure hedgehog interrupted, not allowing himself to hear another word of her protests. "I can't accept you with him." He said, using authority.

Fuming, Amy's cheeks reddened and displayed a funny yet angry look. "Stop treating me as if I'm placing myself in danger!" The pink flower shouted and stiffened, placing a hand on her hip. "I can take care of myself!" She flared, defensively.

Oh really?

Sonic gave Amy the most serious, most authority looking gaze he has pulled on anyone. "Where you able to handle yourself then before you ran off?" He whipped, pointing a finger over her bandaged arm and leg. "Let's not forget how you got this too, Amy." Again, he used the same finger to trace the side of his head, reminding Amy how she got her stitches.

...Those delightful, precious green jewels watered and ignited in anger yet in defeat. Amy fell to her knees and her palms rest flatly on the floor, shakily gripping the plush carpet as her frustration started to arouse within. She was mad...Mad because Sonic was actually right when she lost control of things that led to this.

Emerald eyes cringed when he could've sworn he heard Amy growled as his expression faded dreadfully. Sonic truly felt cheap using his friend's injuries as his scapegoat just so she wouldn't talk him into not confronting Shadow. "Guess, I went too far on that." He imagined, regretting his actions but nonetheless, knows he can't go back on his words.

And it's not the first time Amy dealt with Sonic being this difficult to reason with. But to bring up her injuries just to keep her in check? That's hitting below the belt. It only made her fumed more. "You know what?" Amy whispered, staring darkly at the floor with a pained expression. "Go ahead and get this over with but the minute you remove me from this house, I'll resent you forever." She swore, on her Piko-Piko Hammer.

Just perfect...

"It's a risk I'm willing to take." Sonic comprehended sadly, knowing at least she'll be safe around him. "I'm only doing this for your safety." He explained and averted his gaze away from his friend. "Amy, You're an amazing woman and I just think you deserve better other than Shadow." He added, getting ready to walk out completely while waiting for a response from his pink comrade.

…

And Amy remained silent.

No sense of trying to reassure the pink anymore. Carefully, Sonic slither his way out the cracked opening leading out the living room, knowing that it will lead him to Shadow opposite from his room. Eerily, he kept a firm grip on the knob and slowly closing the door shut from behind.

click

The sound of the lock clicked, indicating the door was closed.

After hearing her blue comrade leave, all anger seemed to ground itself from Amy's body down to the floor. She hummed sadly and half-lidded her eyes, knowing what has yet to come. Slowly, she stood on her two legs from off her knees, swaying exhaustively from the drama. "I deserve better other than Shadow?" Face blossoming, Amy shook her head and cracked a questionable grin. "What can be more better than having the Ultimate-Lifeform as your mate?" Shrugging, too tired trying to understand Sonic, she flattened her ears and yawned, stretching her arms out.

It's been a long night...or day.

When she eyed to her left after letting her arms fall limp, she smiled.

That bed looked awfully lonely.

All lights in the living room were out.

Except for one part of the house.

The kitchen's golden glare from the ceiling fan above flared throughout the area, though the fan collected dust and boredom because summer has yet to arrive. With much light, the yellow tidal waves made its way to the living room like water reaching for shore, glimmering the already obscured front room with little attempt.

Sitting down out of his work clothes on the chair in front of kitchen table underneath the light-bulb. Shadow took pleasure as he reached down to grab a handful of cookie's from the bag and tossing it inside mouth, chewing it delightfully. "Since Amy ate all of my Ginger Snaps," He schemed and glanced down, sparking a smirk. "I'll eat the rest of her snickerdoodles." His mind raced with triumph, reaching inside the bag for another round of chewing.

Moments later, sounds of footsteps brisk-walked its way around the corner from the dark hallway. Louder and louder it became, the red sneakers passed the living room until finally reaching its destination at the foot of the kitchen. Without making a noise, the blue figure waited impatiently for his dark rival to notice his presence.

Sensing someone from behind him, Shadow jerked his head and released his hold on the cookies. Whoever was behind him...didn't sound OR even smell like Amy. Flickering his nose in the air, he hissed at the scent of another male hedgehog. "It better not be who I think it is." He antagonized, resting an arm over the head of his chair and eyed to his right, looking calm though not amused. "Ever heard of using the door..." He paused and callously narrowed his scarlet eyes. "Sonic, I presumed?" He sneered, pushing aside Amy's bag of snickerdoodles on the table.

Sonic, looking directly at Shadow's temperamental gaze, snickered. Knowing he was unfazed by the black hedgehog's attitude, he folded his arms and he ghosts a smile of mischief. "No, it's Ronald McDonald." He chortled, in dry humor.

Shadow displayed a mild 'pissed off' look at Sonic's joke and stood up from his chair, jerking his body directly at the smart-ass blue blur who was laughing. "Exactly." He countered, coming up with a 'joke' of his own. "What's missing is that exaggerating looking red and yellow clown suit. And forget about purchasing those big red shoes," He eyeballed down on Sonic's sneakers, raising his brows. "You're already wearing them." The ebony belittled Sonic's sneakers, kicking the chair back from behind.

Secretly, Sonic was a little insulted but continued to laugh. Quite impressed that his rival had some 'humor' in him. "Good one, Shadow." Sonic complimented his 'joke', ceasing his laughter.

"What is the meaning of your presence, blue hedgehog?" Shadow glared and demanded, snorting steam through his nostrils.

Ignoring Shadow's demands, Sonic eyed the cookies from behind the ebony's back that rested on the table. "Did I interrupt you in the middle of breakfast, eh Shadow?" He chuckled, adding more gas into the flames

Shadow wasn't happy at the fact Sonic just ignored his questioned. His eye twitched while he did everything in his power to hold his temper but failed. "Did you not HEAR what I just asked?" He blew a fuse, putting on a mad face.

Shrugging, Sonic avoided his gaze and closed his eyes, behaving nonchalantly. "I heard what you said." He buzzed and opened his eyes, sparking such seriousness in them. "And to answer your first question; I came to save Amy from you." He put in, quite plainly.

A dark foot moved forward followed by the other. Shadow walked up to Sonic and stood face to face, disapproving the azure hedgehog's request by shaking his head. "The hell you won't, Sonic." He declared, crossing his arms in standoff.

Sonic puffed a breath of laugh and shook his head, taking small amusement to Shadow's arrogance. "Uh...the hell I will." He cleared his throat and gritted his teeth, in slight animosity. "You think I'm just going to leave Amy here with you after what you've done?" He creased his brows, frowning.

Shadow crossed his arms and tilted his head. Yeah, he figured Sonic would pick a day like this to bitch and may have attempted to take Amy away from him when he arrived. "Judging from the sound of your obnoxious voice, I'm guessing no." He stated the obvious, lowering his eyelids in aggravation.

Both hedgehogs had a ten second stare down until Sonic hung his head low, wanting to get one thing out the way before he decided to keep Amy out of Shadow's reach once and for all.

The black hedgehog however, just stood with a straight face. Waiting quite patiently on what the blue boy's got to say to him. "What's taking him?" His patience obviously wore thin.

Suddenly, Sonic jerked his neck up and displayed a stern gaze, mouthing a displeased expression. "Minutes ago, I was so close to taking Amy out of here..." He darted his eyes, sighing. "I was close taking her out until she told me something." He continued calmly, eying back at Shadow. "What's this with you and Amy becoming an item, huh?" He demanded an answer, relentlessly.

"Dammit, Amy." Shadow's right ear fell and pulled a bored expression. "What exactly did you tell Sonic?" He rolled his eyes, assuming Amy may have exaggerated on her part of the story. "We're not a couple, we're not even together." He clarified, speaking HALF the truth.

Although this was something Sonic hadn't himself heard from Amy except how she explained her moment with the ebony, he already knew there was more to it than it meets the eye. "Then why tell Amy you love her?" He questioned and shook his head, letting his bottom jaw hang in confusion. "Not to mention the two of you already kissed." He said, backing himself up with Amy's story.

For a moment, Shadow had to think as he stared down at his bare-feet. It's true, him and Amy weren't exactly together, yet. He's not going to deny his feelings for her or even in front of the azure fool before him. It's just that...he is not one to go about and spread his business. He rather have others figure things out for themselves. Grimly, he smirked and closed his eyes, thinking of an appropriate answer for his rival in speed and combat.

Somewhat off by his attitude, Sonic blinked at first but then displayed a soft sour-face. "So, what's going on between the two of you?" He asked, offhandedly.

"I am looking forward as having Amy become my mate." Shadow curled a shady grin and wrinkled his chin, snapping his eyes open. "That is as much info I will give you." He announced, deeply and clearly.

Oh no, no, no!

Fuck, NO!

Sonic marched and stumped one foot forward, nearly accidentally stepping on Shadow's toe before the ebony quickly moved away in time. "Like hell you will. I won't allow it, Shadow." He ordered, growling at Shadow.

"One," Shadow hissed and rose a finger. "Don't ever try to step on my foot like that again." He warned, raising his second finger. "Two, what gives you the authority to decide who Amy can and can't be with?" The black hedgehog challenged, haughtily.

"Because, I'm her friend!" Sonic replied, whipping an arm in defiance.

"What kind of friend would in get between another of whom he/she wants to be involved with?" Shadow countered, smoothly and intelligently.

Sonic's face fell.

"A-Am I?" Blinking, the azure hedgehog shook off whatever guilt was surfacing and continued in his defense. "I usually don't get in between who Amy wants to be involved with but when I hear your name, I can't help but be concern of her fragile heart and sanity. She deserves someone better than you." He flattened his ears, huffing.

Running a hand over his quills, Shadow rolled his eyes back and exasperated a tired puff of air. "You sound quite jealous, blue hedgehog." He murmured, eying Sonic and teething a smirk. "It has to be, why else he be this problematic?" He thought, in mild suspicion.

Seeing that ridiculous smug off of Shadow just got Sonic even more steamed. If possible, the steam itself would've been blowing from his ears as he creased his brows. "I'm not jealous, Shadow. Amy's a pretty woman and I'd rather have her feet sweep off by someone else instead YOU!" He boomed and clenched his teeth. "My Chaos, what the hell Amy sees in you that others haven't?" He said, avoiding his gaze and gripped the sides of his hips, puffing angrily.

"What does Amy see in me, he asked?" Shadow crossed his hands from behind and walked past Sonic, pushing him softly aside with the use of his elbows. He already knew the answer but for his satisfaction, he'll just straight-out and tell Sonic.

Shortly.

Sonic looked down on his right and eyed the elbow where Shadow nudged him at. "Was it something I said?" He wondered, gazing back at retreating ebony who already made his way in front of unused fire-place that slumbered within semi dark living room.

"You know what Amy sees in me?" Shadow announced and crackled, looking over his shoulders with a deranged smirk. "A hedgehog who doesn't mind slowing down once in a while just to please his woman in every form and aspect." He pressed, proudly but with truth.

Cringing his hardened glare, Sonic narrowed his emerald spheres to the point a glint of light sparkled at the corner left of his eye. "What're you getting at, Shadow?" He dared, wanting the ebony to finish.

"To put it bluntly, Amy would rather go for a hedgehog who not only slow down for her sake but also know when to stop when she desires even the smallest affection." Shadow's right eye sparked, handsomely and darkly. "Something you aren't very good at, Sonic." He went there.

An animalistic hedgehog hiss was heard from the kitchen. Sonic seethed through his teeth and his nose wrinkled much to Shadow's triumph. "This. Isn't. About. Me." He snarled, ferociously.

Swiftly, Shadow turned his heel around and glowered an expression that rivaled Sonic, only his was more fearsome. "It is now because you hadn't left yet and it's starting to piss me off." He ranted, glaring across the living room towards Sonic. "Get the hell out my house already!" He ordered, pointing a finger at the door angled to his right.

"Not without, Amy." Sonic stiffened and stood his ground, balling a fist and pointing his finger at Shadow. "How do I know you're not going to pull the same shit like last time?" He boomed, meeting his rival's tone of voice and anger. "Right now, I don't exactly trust you with her." The azure hedgehog boiled, in honesty regarding Amy's safety.

Pulling the most outrageous blank expression he's displayed in all his days, Shadow moved his finger away from the door fairly annoyed. "It's clear that you are looking out for your best friend's interest but I assure you," He started and folded his arms, defensively. "Nothing is going to HAPPEN!" He bellowed mildly, trying to convince that dad-blasted blue hedgehog across from him.

Sonic, half-lidded his eyes and cocked a skeptical gaze. "You sure about that, Shadow?" He asked, calmly vibrating his voice and chuckling. "You're not only in it trying to take another crack at sticking your 'man-made' dick inside of Amy?" He challenged fluently, ghosting grin at the corner of his muzzle.

Oh...Shadow wished he hadn't heard that entire sentence coming out of the blue bastard's mouth. His scarlet eyes darkened and burned bloodlessly. "How dare you insult a man in his own home?" His voice deepened and scolded, grimly.

Sensing the malice engulfing the ebony like fire erupting from the ground below, of course Sonic saw this as an opportunity to press Shadow's buttons even further. He displayed a scheming smug with a touch of insolence. "What's the matter, Shadow?" Sonic approached, apprehensively. "Hate to be reminded that you're 'artificial' and not the 'real-thing' like everyone else who was created more naturally?" He provoked, shrugging casually.

Scarlet eyes glimmered in hatred and if closely looked at, each eye had a transparent reflection of the blue blurs devious smug in them. "Take. That. Back." Shadow whispered, in a icy cold tone.

Cocking a smirk, the azure hedgehog eyed the ceiling as if he was reconsidering Shadow's request. "Sure, the minute you hand over Amy to me, I'll take back half of what I said andwe'll be on our way." He replied, not threatened by his rivals voice of warning.

Like a blood-thirsty demon wanting to grab its victim's head just to squeeze the blood and fluid from out the ears. Shadow half-lidded his scarlet eyes and started walking towards his rival with a brooding gaze. "Nevermind him leaving," His mind craved vengeance and snickered. "I'll just kill him where he stands." He swore, getting closer to Sonic.

Sonic's head stumbled, wondering what the hell his rival was up to. "Heh, I wonder what he has in mind." He assumed, waiting for the worse to come.

When Shadow made his way at the foot of the kitchen were Sonic stood, he gracefully stopped in front of him, still maintaining that cold and plain gaze. "If Amy ask; Sonic started this." After that being thought up, the ebony casually swayed his eyes left to right, inspecting Sonic's face.

"?"

The blue blur was left stomped by his actions, poking his head out with his sunken shoulders. "What're you looking for?" Sonic asked, quite puzzled by his actions.

"Nothing I care to be too concerned about." Shadow spoke softly, lifting a brow at one of the blue blurs eyes, hiding his true intentions. "Except, I noticed a dark ring around your left eye." He claimed, cracking his fingers into a fist next to his hip.

"What're you talking about?" The azure hedgehog faltered, scratching his head. "There's n-GH!" Sonic grunted and staggered back as a fist rammed into his left eye, falling against the kitchen chair till finally landing on his back. Followed by a groan, he rose his neck and scowled at Shadow. "That JERK!" His mind screamed, putting a hand over his injured eye. "Dude, what the hell!?" He bellowed and clenched his teeth, nursing his freshly dark ring around his eye.

Leering down at the fallen hedgehog in triumph, Shadow pulled back his fist and stood tall over Sonic as if the battle's already won. Satisfied at the work at what he's done to his rival. "Blue hedgehog, did I not mention that there was a black ring around your eye?" He said, grinning evilly with such crude innocence.

"Bull-shit, you hit me!" Sonic hollered, placing both palms on the floor and moved his hind legs up to his chest, performing the kip-up technique. "Then again..." He dusted himself off and looked at Shadow, threateningly narrowing his eyes. "You want to come at this?" He challenged bravely, leaning one leg in and the other out, bending the knees with both his elbows protecting his rib-cage, fist closed.

"I can't guarantee your survival once we start, Sonic." Shadow cautioned, standing sideways and bending one arm in with the other sticking out, crouching his knees in his own fighting stance. "Also, it's been awhile since I sent anyone to the hospital." He sniped cynically, circling his wrist and waving a 'come on' hand gestured at him.

Sonic grind his teeth dispassionately whilst Shadow just smug and 'hmph', much to the blue blurs frustration. "Heh, bring it on!" He burst and charged at the ebony, dashing forward.

Shadow spread his arms out and brightened his smug, ready to get a piece of the blue fool. "With pleasure!" He shouted and charged at his rival, leaping forward.

CLASH!

The beige house took cover.

In unison, both rivals in speed and combat locked fingers and tightly gripped at one another. Arms stretched out and body tensed, feet heaving backwards and forward that's almost identical to the game of tug o' war but in reverse. Due to Shadow's strength, it was quite obvious he was dominating by gripping harder and pushing Sonic further back with ease. Sonic tried not to show his resentment while at the same time, made sure the black hedgehog's strength didn't get to him, it was becoming difficult to keep from falling back.

"Freak-show!" Sonic scorned, lowering his head and trying to keep his footing in check.

"Interesting, your mother called you that after she dropped you on your head." Shadow insulted and snickered when Sonic's cheeks reddened at his comment, pushing him further even more.

Running out of time, the azure hedgehog closed his eyes and creased his brows, thinking a way how to get out of this position. "He's too strong." He thought and opened his green spheres, eyeballing down to where Shadow's stomach's located. "Got an idea." Sonic beamed ideally and glanced up at Shadow. "Shadow, aren't you stronger than this?" He sneered, loosening his body so Shadow can push him further back.

Having no idea what Sonic had something up his sleeve, Shadow pulled a sour-face and snarled. "Perhaps, I wasn't giving my all!" He bellowed and heaved another shove with all his might. Sonic was NOW sliding backwards.

Perfect!

"Now, I got you." The blue blur lips deviously pressed together and brightened his eyes, letting go of his hands and chuckled at how surprised Shadow looked when he fell forward.

And unfortunately for the black hedgehog.

Boom!

Instead of landing on the floor, Shadow was kneed DIRECTLY on the stomach by Sonic.

Scarlet eyes bulged and coughed, feeling the sudden ache on his mid-section as he fell sideways on the kitchen floor with minor difficulty of breathing. "...Pretty good, blue hedgehog." He secretly complimented his rival's efforts and wrapped his arms around his stomach, cringing his eyes and glancing at Sonic. "You're going to wish you neve-ARGH!" Shadow grunted when he felt a sharp kick planted in his rib-cage, rolling on his back with his arms spread out.

Waving his foot around proudly, the blue blur half-lidded his gaze and grinned handsomely. "Wish I never did what, Shadow?" Sonic quipped, leering down at the fallen ebony with a half-angry smile.

Sensing another kick coming, Shadow used his super speed and grasped Sonic's ankle, pulling back his right arm in which caused the blue hedgehog to fall backwards with great force until he heard a 'thud' followed by a groan afterwards.

In a split second, Shadow got on all fours and began crawling towards Sonic who was still trying to recover from his fall. "You're mine!" He declared hatefully, climbing on top of his rival and sat on his chest, using his legs to securely pin his arms.

Sonic's face dropped when Shadow pulled a fist back and growled ferociously. Looking closer, he saw the ebony sneaked a sadistic smile through his teeth as if he's been wanting this moment for a long time. "Dude, not the face." The azure hedgehog opposed, in a small tone.

Everything that made Shadow so pissed off up to this point from Sonic's homosexual jokes to trying to steal Amy away from him surfaced. He didn't hesitate his first move. "This is for hanging up on me couple weeks BACK!" He barked and his fist came flying towards the azure hedgehog's face.

Pow!

A bruise formed on the left side of Sonic's cheek.

"This is for trespassing on my property after I warned you the first time!"

Pow!

Blood spewed out from Sonic's mouth after the other side of his cheek was hit.

"This is for trespassing on my property, the second time!"

Pow!

Sonic's already bruised left eye from earlier got blacker and puffer.

"And this is for trying to take Amy away from me!"

Pow! Pow! Crack!

The entire time Sonic was getting repeatedly punched only made him angrier. He mentally cursed at every punch he received from Shadow but getting elbowed in the nose actually crossed the line. As blood leaked from out his nose and the red was staining his teeth "Okay, he wants to fight dirty?" Thinking with one eye closed along chortling, he folded his lips back and aimed his chin at Shadow's eyes, spitting out sprinkles of blood from his mouth.

Smooth, warm liquid splattered onto the black hedgehog's face and he immediately averted his head away when his vision blurred in red, using a free arm to wipe the blood off his face. "Errr….you fiend." Shadow droned, having to hate ceasing his punching.

Now that Shadow's guard was down, Sonic took the opportunity to slide his arms from underneath his rival's knees and managed to wrap a leg over his neck, swinging him sideways from off his chest with whatever determination he had. Shakily, he got up on his feet and his upper body swayed in disorientation, trying to regain his vision back.

Looking to his right, Sonic watched Shadow and stammered when he was already on his knees. "How to keep him down?" Hewondered and looked left, spotting the unused kitchen chair next to him and teethed a smile. "This might work." He swallowed his own blood and extended an arm, gripping the chair.

Although Shadow was one step away from getting on his two legs after kneeling with one hand implanted to the floor, he hadn't begun to rose up when a shadowy figure overcast him from behind that made his ears flickered. And before he even had a chance to turn around to see what his rival was up to...

CRASH!

"Erag!" Shadow arched his back in numbing pain and fell flat on his stomach as the kitchen chair debris scattered over the place. Cursing to himself, the ebony got on his elbows and looked over his shoulders. "You son of a bitch." He yelled, giving Sonic a hateful glare.

"WOOOOOO!" Sonic whooped in triumph with his fist in the air and tossed whatever's left of the chair across the living room. "In your face, YEAH!" He jollied, wiping the blood from his nose with his glove and leaving a red stain on it. "So, you're gonna let Amy come with me now?" He looked down and grinned as best he could, trying to ignore the swelling surrounding his face.

Swiftly, Shadow got up on his feet and stood up straight, circling his body around to meet the gaze of his rival. "Sonic…." He spat out his name, in distaste. "Let us settle this like hedgehogs?" He said, wrinkling his expression and removing his gloves.

Knowing where this was going, Sonic nodded and looked down with a smirk, removing his gloves as well. "I won't go easy like before, though." He said, throwing his gloves down on the carpet and cracking his knuckles.

Shadow placed both hands on his hips with his eyes closed, cracking his neck sideways. "You won't have too." He said, opening his eyes and smug. "Because you'll be dead before you try anything else with me." He declared, arrogantly.

"Alright, let's do this!" Sonic complied, in aggression.

"Hmph." The black hedgehog brushed off his comment.

Again, Sonic and Shadow clashed at one another but this time, things got fiercer. Shadow ducked sideways to avoid Sonic's first punch and swiftly erected his body, upper cutting Sonic's chin. The blue blur grunted and stumbled backwards; shaking his head to rid whatever confusion he experienced, frowning. He dashed forward and twirled around; landing an ax-kicked Shadow's left shoulder's and smiled when the ebony's entire side had a numbing effect because the force of impact from his heel.

"Ergh!" Shadow closed his eyes and creased his brows, growling agony while regaining his composure, rubbing his injured shoulder. "Got something for his ass." He thought of a plan. A sick, awful plan.

Taking a moment to recover from his last attack, the ebony saw a fist fly towards him and dodged his head professionally out the way and swiftly grabbed the azure hedgehog's left wrist. Surprising the blue blur, Shadow cracked a faint grin and twisted his rivals wrist at an angle it shouldn't be, smirking psychotically at the sound of Sonic's wrist popping.

"AHHH!" Sonic screamed, snatching his wrist away and eying down at it, loosely shaking it painfully. "I'll get him for that!" He vowed, getting bent on vengeance.

Shadow the lunged forward at the unguarded blue hedgehog, moving in for the kill. That was until Sonic stepped forward sideways a little 'faster' than the black hedgehog and struck his leg out, jamming a foot into Shadow's face.

"Hrnk!" A simmering, burning sensation erupted from Shadow's muzzle and his eyes widened when his back hit the wall on impact. He groaned and sunk between the front door and couch. "Teh," He panted, rubbing his lower jaw. "He's impro-" Shadow's eyes went white and he gaped!"OooAAAAH!" A blue kneed harshly connected to the black hedgehogs...

Genitalia.

Sonic smirked and took a step back, taking little pride in watching Shadow's expression hinting of pain and astonishment as a stream of saliva trailed down to the carpet went through his clenched teeth. The ebony heaved tremendously and his eyes were white, closing his thighs together. It's like his testicles were trying to bleed out through the skin but can't so it had no choice but to suffer on the inside. Next thing happened, Shadow felt his rivals foot pressed firmly on his mid-section and looked up in a spiteful glare, pinning him there.

It was Sonic's turn to leered down on him triumphantly.

"Let's see how you handle getting kicked repeatedly vs. how much you liked punching my face, Ultimate-Lifeshit! "The azure hedgehog said, drawing his leg back and flung his foot towards the ebony's exposed abdomen.

Baam!

The heel of Sonic's's foot imprinted on Shadow's lower abs left a staggering bruise. Although the pain in his groin was keeping him from fighting back for now, the black hedgehog started chuckling that soon turned into a villainous laugh. "Hehehehahaha," Scarlet eyes darkened, menacingly. "You Down-Syndrome looking ass, hedgehog." Shadow taunted his bruised and battered face, ceasing his psychotic laughter. "Is that all you got?" He challenged, mouthing a 'fuck you' at Sonic.

Sonic threw his head back and gasped, psyched out by Shadow's behavior. But due to his request, he brought up a foot back again and gritted his teeth in determination and frowned. "I was just getting started!" He fused and his leg went flying towards Shadow's mid-section once again.

Baam!

The left side of Shadow's ribs cracked.

Boom!

The ebony had to cough out his own blood when Sonic's knee cap hammered his mouth.

BAAM!

A hook-kick, infused by Sonic's own blue power 'Sonic wind', slashed the right cheek of the black hedgehog's face. A nasty bruised tainted his mysteriously handsome face a s slit of blood seeped out.

The red sneaker went further back this time.

...

In a blink of an eye.

...

BOOOM!

A crack appeared on the wall from behind Shadow.

(()Meanwhile.())

A wave of blankets rose from off the bed.

"Okay, I heard that one!" Amy Rose swung her legs over and implanted her feet onto the soft carpet, slouching over with a seemingly worried expression. "I knew a fight was going to break out but I didn't think for a second those two would get this violent." She said, quickly getting up out of bed and turning herself around.

Needing to cover herself, the pink flower hurriedly snatched the same sheet of blanket she use to sleep with and wrapped it around her waist, turning it into a makeshift 'long skirt'."Perfect, now to head out." She cogitated, looking to her right and ran straight for the door.

Stopping, she made it to towards door with her palms rested flatly on the smooth surface, shakily trying to turn the knob. "C'mon Amy, hold it together." She got her grip but unfortunately hadn't even twisted the handle all the way because a shriek was heard from the other side of the wall, jumping much to her horror.

Ahh!

Amy stood frozen, eyes wide-eyed.

Thump.

The pink flower shut her eyes and flinched, lowering her ears.

Someone just got body slammed.

"Oh no, that sounded like Sonic!" Amy startled, staring awkwardly at the knob, biting her bottom lip. No more wasting anymore time, the pink flower pulled a heroic yet an uncertain face and twisted the door handle open. Slipping through the smallest crack, Amy could clearly hear the shoving and punching going on from the living where she stood and dashed out completely, closing the door behind her shut.

Those two have been fighting way too long

And it's time to end this.

(()()()()()()()())

The living was a disaster!

Drops of blood were sprinkled in from one direction to the next and the 60 inch flat screen television was flipped over...Broken. From one area where the front door and sofa was located, a nicely shaped dent imprinted on the floor where Shadow had grabbed Sonic by the neck and torso, falling forward with him when he performed the rock bottom finisher.

Near the floor on the dent was the cracked wall where Shadow was brutally kicked repeatedly early on. Lastly, chair debris was still scattered on some parts of the kitchen and the foot of the living room.

Even so, the recent 'renovations' that was done to one part of the house wasn't enough to stop Shadow and Sonic from beating one another. Despite how seemingly obscured the living room were, the black and blue hedgehog had no trouble seeing in the dark as blows were still being exchanged.

Shadow bared his sharp teeth and hissed wide-eyed like a vicious hedgehog ready to kill another, seething as his rivals fangs sank deep into his knuckles. "Release me, you fiend!" He ordered and wrinkled his brows, putting his nails on Sonic's cheeks, scratching him down to his neck.

Feeling a mixture of stinging cold and hot liquid searing down towards his neck. Sonic squawked his head in discomfort but bit down harder on Shadow's fist, grimacing as the warm blood searing down to his chest. "M-make me!" He mumbled, refusing to let go Shadow's hand after he had tried to punch him.

They pulled apart at the same time.

In a standoff position.

From one side of the living room up against the lifeless fire-place. Sonic had his elbows readied up against his ribs in case of a next attack, bending his knees defensively though ignoring the twinged of his cracked wrist. "Not leaving until Amy comes with me, safely." He flashed his emerald eyes, glinting of danger and determination.

On the other side of the living room at the foot of the lit-up kitchen. Shadow's knees were crouched lower than his rivals though his fist guarded his chest, elbows angled protectively."Why won't he go down?" His mind stated the obvious, pulling a blank and impassive expression.

"Shad-"

"Soni-"

"STOP!" A delicate, terrified voice called.

Both hedgehog's ears flickered and paused, hearing the shrill of an alarmed alarmed female.

Gazing to his right, Shadow saw a beautiful pink figure wrapped in a blanket, running down the hallway and approaching him in distraught. "Amy?" He caught on and softened his gaze, lowering his guard.

Trying his best to look to his left, Sonic eyes followed Amy and displayed an unhappy gaze when she stood by Shadow's side, hunched over and panting due to lack of sleep. "What is she doing!?" Sonic wondered, dropping his guard as well.

After Amy caught her breath, she saw the mess Sonic and Shadow had done to themselves and to eachothers. She stared in horror and placed a hand over her mouth at the amount of gore she's seeing. Not to mention how much of a MESS the house looked. "You guys," She rasped, looking from Shadow to Sonic. "What have you done?" She groaned, sickly.

It was proving to be difficult to stand on two legs now. Panting, Sonic managed to keep his vision from blurring out, sneezing his own blood on the carpet. "Amy," He sniffed and spoke breathlessly at the pink flower. "Your boyfriend's gone crazy." He accused, eying bitterly at Shadow.

The area where Sonic had repeatedly kicked Shadow from his face to his lower region started to get tendered. Resting a hand where his genitalia were, the ebony crouched over and flattened his ears, glancing defensively at the blue blur. "No Amy," He grunted and a drool of blood fell to the floor, looking at Sonic dead-ahead. "Your dumbass of a friend makes me crazy." He uttered, coughing after his speech.

"Well," Sonic closed his eyes and swayed, almost falling back before he shook himself. "You threw the first punch." He replied, tirelessly.

"I threw..." Shadow gritted his teeth and closed an eye, padding his ribs affectionately. "I threw the first punch because you started off insulting me." He groaned, wrapping his arms around his entire inflamed abdomen.

"Well, I don't care who started it!" Amy nagged, giving Shadow to her left a dirty glare and eying nastily back at Sonic. "I want you guys to stop fighting before you both end up dead." She screamed, erecting her quills towards the ceiling much to her anger.

Sonic's left brow twitched and gave Amy a soft, dismissive stare. "Amy, let's go already." He murmured, sniffing his own blood and letting it slide down his throat. "Let's get going now and leave this idiot Shadow behind." He ushered, almost sweet but bland.

Abruptly, Shadow ignored every inch of pain throughout his body and rose up straight, mouthing a disgruntled gaze. "Stop treating Amy as if she's your ward, blue hedgehog." He scolded, flattening his ears.

"Sonic," The pink flower whispered, displaying tearful smile even though she's not in tears. "I'm staying with Shadow." She murmured, lowering her eyelids. "He loves me and if something is there, I want to return his feelings." She said, barely in a whisper.

Shadow's heart jumped.

"She do?" Delightfully, he hoped but in silent.

"Amy, Shadow doesn't know a thing about love. He only knows pain." Sonic said, trying to discourage his pink comrade from staying with his rival.

"Chaos, just shut up already!" Annoyed, the black hedgehog rubbed his aching head, sighing at Sonic's ramblings.

"Sonic, why are you so against this?" Amy asked, fidgeting her fingers, nervously.

"I already told you." Sonic replied, quickly.

"Not in detail." The pink flowered disagreed.

"Admit it, I'm far more superior than you, is that it?" Shadow smirked, arrogantly.

"Now you're just full of shit, Shadow." The blue blur barked, blood hissing from his teeth.

"The feelings mutual, Ronald McDonald." The ebony dropped his gaze, flatly.

"Alright, ENOUGH, both of you!" Amy thundered, as her voice echoed throughout the house.

In exasperation, Sonic threw his arms up in the air and slapped his palms against his hips, flinching after harming his injured wrist. "You know what, Amy?" He broadcast, gaining the attention of one baffled pink hedgehog and her unfazed ebony. "The reason why I don't see you and Shadow together because he's not cut out for LOVE." He paused, huffing in dry breaths. "I mean, what does he know about-affections, kissing and, sharing his life with another?" Sonic questioned, believing that Shadow isn't cut out what he just mentioned. "All Shadow knows is pain, murder, and grief. Something he's already done to you, recently." He reminded Amy, much to her sadness.

Getting fed up with this nonsense, Shadow gave Sonic a nasty look and disrespectfully sneaked a middle finger next to his thigh at him. "I am giving you one last chance to get the hell out of my house or I'll have you out myself in a body bag." He threatened, dejectedly.

Amy, shocked that Sonic would say such thing after years of teaming up with Shadow, gaped and shook her head in disbelief. "It's like I said before, Sonic." She sighed, mouthing an uneasy smile. "Shadow put his pride on the line just to ask me to come back in his life and for someone to do such thing, was more than enough to forgive him. To give him another chance." The pink flower said, adding sadness and tiredness to her tone.

With his good hand pressed against his temple, Sonic rolled his eyes and half-lidded them afterwards in discontent. "I swear..." He mumbled, picking his quills and looking at his hand afterwards, flicking his fingers. "...If it hadn't been Maria taming Shadow way before her time was cut short, he'd be in worse shape with the rest of us." He spoke nonchalantly, using irrational thinking.

Amy's face fell like a sack of potatoes.

Shadow's inhibitor rings sprung off in opposite directions.

Sonic froze.

Realizing what he just said, the blue blur widened his eyes and hung his jaw low when Shadow came flying towards him. "He-hey, Shadow," He stuttered, waving his good arm at the ebony to stop him from coming. "Hang on for a-" An uncomfortable sensation gripped Sonic's neck as his eyes banked out in surprised. "GAH! He was lifted in mid-air and before Sonic knew it...

CRAAASH!

crackle, crackle, crackle...

...

The fire-place, now in shambles, crumbled and fell into pieces as tiny debris piled on top of one another, creating miniatures broken bricks of mountains that lied underneath the red sneakers belonging to the Hero of Mobius. The feeling of being choked and hoisted from off the floor, wedged between against the wall where the fire-place once were proved to be unbearable to Sonic.

"C-can't br-re…athe." The blue hedgehog gasped and shut his eyes, using only his good hand trying to break free from Shadow's grip. It was getting harder to breath and the blood that naturally flowed throughout his body was getting slower.

Swirls of crimson waves and snake-like magenta wrapped itself into a sphere as Shadow was beautifully coated with his apocalyptic powers of Chaos. His naturally scarlet eyes disappeared and his once white eyeball sockets turned pink, looking grisly at the battered blue hedgehog he got hoisted above him.

"It's one thing to remove Amy from my house but to think hypothetically how better I would've been raised if my caretaker hadn't died?" The black hedgehog whispered, sickened by his rivals previous actions. "I'm disgusted with you, Sonic." He finished, keeping a tight grip around his rivals neck.

Amy's pupils shrank and her face from the neck down turned morbidly white as she was absolutely terrified of Shadow's sudden strength and aggression towards her old crush. Her legs buckled and she got slightly jittery. "Sh-shadow…let go of Sonic, please." She stuttered and broke out in a cold sweat, fearing for Sonic's life.

Even if Shadow heard what his potential mate was saying, the state of mind he was in made it difficult for him to comprehend Amy's pleas. He heard her voice but it was like trying to listen to a broken down headphones that echoes past your ears. No form of lucid hearing or at least, it didn't sound to crystal clear.

From where Amy stood, she watched Sonic's muzzle fading into white. It's only a matter of time he'll eventually pass out if his brain isn't receiving enough blood and oxygen. And at the end...her blue friend would end up dying where he was.

No.

Verde eyes flared in beauty and justice, pouting beautifully through her tempting lips. "Shadow, I want to be with you but I won't allow you to kill Sonic." Scrunching up a face of love and protection, Amy let all the fear rinsed down from off her body to the plush carpet below and started walking towards the black hedgehog...Carefully. "Shadow, let go of Sonic." She said, her voice sounding clear and firm.

Shadow didn't responded.

Sigh.

Amy kept walking.

Lowering his eyelids in desperation, Sonic's breathing was becoming shallower and…shallower. Shit, chocking underwater got nothing on him. "Shadow must really want me dead this time." The blue blur believed and was beginning to see black.

When his rival hacked a cough, it wasn't long until sonic was started to lose conscious as his eyes began to fluttered. Shadow sneered so darkly at this that his fang sparked when it became visible. His eyes became more narrowed and his body vibrated due to the amount of Chaos energy he was using. "Starting to see a white tunnel yet, Sonic?" He hoped, atrociously and squeezed tighter.

pat

Huh?

When a pink hand rested on the very arm Shadow was using to keep Sonic hoisted in the air, he turned to his right crookedly and stared at the eyes of the somewhat calmed and mellow Amy Rose. Standing curved and angled next to him, she looked sad and worried but not just for Sonic...For him as well. "Shadow, let him go." Amy pleaded, cringing her eyes painfully and squeezing his arm.

Although the crimson and magenta swirls of magnificent powers was present, Shadow's darkened fur turned redder and brighter, hinting much malice and destruction to the point the floor beneath him was sinking into a crater. Soon, the house was starting to rock back and forth like...an earthquake was happening but in-doors.

And again, Shadow only stared at Amy but hadn't full-filled her request.

Amy lowered her head and closed her eyes, sighing while displaying a blank face with a loving, reassuring smile. "Shadow, I know what Sonic said was completely out of line." She informed, averting her gaze with a solemn expression. "You weren't the only one. I got a taste of it too before he confronted you afterwards. Sometimes, he can't help but be who he is and I admit, he can be too forward. But believe me when I say this; when Sonic knows what he's done wrong, he usually feels bad for his actions and jokes about it later on." The pink flowered whispered and eyed back, cheeking a weird grin.

Sonic cracked his good eye open and smiled, trying his hardest to loosened the grip the ebony has around his neck. "….Y-y..ea…l-ligh,,,n…up." He croaked, struggling to say every word in his sentence.

Okay, the ebony heard that one.

Shadow flipped his head back around at Sonic with a snarl. "Why you-" He snarled, flexing his arm as if he was threatening to do away with him this time.

The entire beige house walls and roof was cracking now. The ceiling couldn't hold much longer and dancing energy fumes coming from Shadow's apocalyptic chaotic powers was blowing like the Tsunami, wanting to destroy everything from the inside and out. Whipping and hissing through the ears of Amy Rose, she furrowed her brows when the hot air became heavy and but kept her cool, knowing she only has a few minutes before the house falls on all of them.

Not much time left.

"I'm not trying to justified Sonic's actions on what he's started but all this aggression and hostile he had towards you was out of protection, for me." Amy bellowed, looking worriedly to her right as her old crush eyes kept rolling back. "You would've looked out for me almost the same way he did. Matter of fact," She remembered, looking back at Shadow with a soft gaze. "Remember you've taken care of me a while back when I was too sick to hold my own? You would scold me if I didn't ask for your help in terms of carrying me to the bathroom or kitchen." She reminded him, petting Shadow's arms and leaning down, rubbing her lips on it.

Blinking an eye, Sonic's face puffed out and cough, looking from Shadow's sadistically blank expression to Amy's pleading gaze."…Shadow looked over Amy when she was sick?" In the back of his mind, he wondered, was he wrong to think so awfully of his rival's affections towards Amy?

Even though Shadow kept his hardened gaze at the injured Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy still spoke to Shadow as if his attention was still on her. She continued, knowing this is her last shot. "And lastly, Shadow..." She trailed, darting her eyes left to right, sadly. "The reason why Sonic was so worked up about us being together because he felt like a failure on his part for what has happened to me these past couple of days. It would've put you on edge too if it was the other way around!" She exclaimed, closing her eyes and grimacing.

The wave-like crimson and magenta aura that danced hauntingly around the black hedgehog simmered down transparently, fading into nothingness though Shadow still glowed bright like the sun. Softly, he turned his neck and his pupils became visible. "Amy…" He whispered, sounding much like his smooth voice.

Unable to hold much longer, Sonic gasped his last breath and trembled uncontrollably. "D-d-yi..ng…h…." His eyes rolled back and his head fell sideways, giving out.

...

Sonic's body went limp.

Immediately looking to her right, Amy's eyes bulged out and her pupils shrank down to size, glancing back at the ebony in panic mode. "PLEASE, I'm begging you. Forgive Sonic for his actions just this one time!" She begged, shaking her head frantically. "...I don't want him to die..." The pink flower shook her head and whispered, sounding tearful.

When Shadow saw a tear threatening to slither down Amy's cheek, right then and there, he wanted to kiss those unwelcoming crystal clear gems away and just hold her close. He has hurt her too many times and the ebony can't afford to break her heart again while she was in the middle of recovering. "...I shall grant your wish, Amy." Shadow complied, and his body transparently reverted back to normal, dropping the semi-conscious blue hedgehog in the process on the piles of destroyed bricks beneath him.

When Sonic landed on his back, all life was restored to him once he made contact on the ruined floor and rubble. Amy raced towards him, stopping and kneeling down next to him by helping her old crush back up against the ruined fire-place so he could catch his breath. She lifted Sonic's chin and displayed a scared face.

"Are you okay?" Amy asked, pushing his back and placing a hand over Sonic's head.

...Shadow's body trembled.

As Sonic started coughing up a storm, he hacked sprinkles of blood and the pink flower hugged him and the blue blur forced himself to smile. Pulling his pink savior a 'thank you' hug. "T-th-anks...A...mes." He struggled his words, resting his head on Amy's shoulders.

While cradling Sonic, Amy whipped her head around and glanced up at the towering Shadow. Squeezing her cheeks up to where her eyes were and pulling the most wondrous smile she displayed in a long while. "Oh thank you so much, Shadow." She appreciated, tilting her head and beaming a dazzling smile.

But then her smile faded.

"Shadow?" Amy called, blinking at him…What the-?

Shadow just stood completely still in his place since he released Sonic but something wasn't right about him. While gazing hard at those beautiful green jewels that sparkled in angst and dismayed. Trembling, the ebony used whatever energy he had left and half-lidded his eyes as a small grin appeared on his muzzle.

"She's smiling again..." Scarlet spheres clouded into dark red and black, lifelessly." Th-that's goo..." Gaping, Shadow rolled his eyes and fluttered his lids, finally giving in to closing them. "Uhnnn." Swaying his head in circles, the ebony fell backwards like he was being pulled under underwater from behind, landing hard on his back with his arms spread out, head tilted to his left.

"Oh no!" Pushing Sonic off her by the swift of her hand up against the rubble and ignoring his harsh cries. Amy got on all fours and frantically crawled her way towards Shadow's stiff body, disregarding every piece of wood and bricks piercing through her hands. "Please, be okay!" She hoped, clenching her teeth and placed her hands on Shadow's chest. "Shadow?" She cried, shaking him. "Shadow, please wake up!" Amy begged and her face turned blue, shaking Shadow uncontrollably as his head bobbed up and down by her force of movements.

"Amy?" Sonic croaked, looking directly at the back of his pink comrade.

"Huh?" Amy responded, whipping her neck with a look of panic on her face at Sonic.

Leaning against the crumbled fire-place, Sonic pushed his legs back and sat up straight, wiping the last remnant of blood from off his nose. "He's going to be okay." He reassured, breathing in deeply with a troubled grin. "Shadow was already injured from the fight and just using the power of Chaos would add more stress." He concluded, tilting his head sideways and lowering his eyes, vaguely.

That kind of didn't make sense to Amy. One would believe the Ultimate-Lifeform could take more punishment but perhaps Sonic was right, whenever Shadow removes his inhibitor rings, he risked over-exertion. "Whatever you say, Sonic." She agreed, drooping her ears and averting her eyes, timidly.

Sonic, closed his eyes and sighed, opening them up again just to eyed Amy across from him with a blank face. "You know when you were standing up for me before I was a goner..." He paused, taking a deep breath. "You didn't have to do that, Amy." The azure hedgehog emphasized, disappointed in himself. "Especially the way how I acted from start to finish." Sonic apologized, looking down on the ground with drooping ears.

Amy, turning her gaze back at Shadow and looked down at him worriedly, sitting on her knees after being on fours for so long and placed a hand over his forehead. "Most of the time, you don't mean any harm." She muttered, petting Shadow's head like she has tending a kitten. "I know you only mean well when it comes to looking out for people you care about but you really crossed the line when you brought up her name." Amy frowned, narrowing her eyes preciously.

"Yeah, forgot how touchy Faker gets about that." Sonic hummed and pointed his nose towards the ceiling, coughing a laugh of relief. "By the way, you're not entirely off the hook being together with Shadow." He announced, centering his head and reopened his eyes, sternly.

"I can't believe you're still on that, Sonic." Amy grumbled, thinking drearily at the thought of Sonic might give her a much harder time in the future. "For Chaos sake, you almost died. I wish you understood better." She blew a fuse, looking over her shoulders, grimacing at her old crush.

"Well, I regret not understanding now." The blue blur spoke, casually.

"Hmph!" The pink flower folded her arms, shutting her eyes.

"But the way how you actually stopped Shadow from killing me..." As much as Sonic didn't want to admit this, he rolled his eyes at the next thing he's about to say. "It's a start." He griped, shrugging aimlessly but flinched when his injured wrist twinged.

This time, Amy didn't have turn her gaze around. But to herself, she sneaked a gracious smile and lowered her lids, eying back. She knew what Sonic had meant and it made her happy. "I think I can work with that." She vibrated, knowing that Sonic's willing to back off-for now.

It was then when Sonic got up on his two leg and sat up straight. Looking to his right at an angle, he crookedly...limply, walked his way towards the door. "I'm leaving now, Amy." He droned, head hanging down with a shade of darkness across his eyes as he brushed past the confused pink flower like the breeze.

Nodding, Amy could only stared the back of Sonic the Hedgehog limping his way towards the door as she rose a brow when his good hand reached for the doorknob. "Are you going to be okay running in super-speed in your condition?" Gently, she muttered, watching Sonic opening the door half-way and from where she kneel.

Feeling that strong gust of winter air slithering through his blue fur that screamed 'freedom', practically made Sonic closed his eyes and flipping his front quills almost sensually. "I'll be fine, I think." He replied, without looking back at Amy. "And remember," He looked back, plainly. "You're my best friend and no one is not going to protect or love you the way I do, Amy." Sonic vibrated, friendly, warmly and, caring.

Amy's eyes went big.

"What?"

The pink flower wanted to stand up and ask the blue blur what did he mean by that. But her heart and conscious advised her to stay next to Shadow, knowing that she prefer his company over anyone now. "Sonic, what exactly are you saying?" Surprised, she extended her hand and reached out towards him, wanting to hear more of what he thinks positive of her.

Regrettably, Sonic winked with his black eye and flinched but made that up with a smirk, even if his bruised and battered face was looking worse than shit. He rather not answer her question. "Take care, sweetheart." In a heartbeat, he slipped out and closed the door behind him shut.

WHOOOOOOOOOSH

From outside,

The speed of sound took off.

Sonic was gone.

Now, the house was occupied with only two people, like it always has been. Amy let her arm drop and she hung her head, sighing. "Nevermind." She looked up and whipped her head from left, right, top, and bottom...The house was a nightmare. And due to Shadow's recent Chaotic powers, now there's cracks on some parts of the walls from the kitchen to the living room. "Sonic and Shadow REALLY did a number on themselves and the HOUSE!" Chaos forbids she take a look at her own room and Shadow's. "This is horrible." Amy also darted her eyes where spots of blood where seen and she refused to look over the fire-place again.

Softly, Amy looked to her right and eyeballed Shadow, scratching his white fur that was stained with blood. He didn't move but a soft whine...emitted from his throat. The pink flower mused a plain grin. "You...poor thing." She mumbled, stretching her legs out and extending one arm, lying sideways next to Shadow.

And like magic, the blanket that was wrapped securely around Amy's waist for censorship lifted off from her body and danced in the air, falling down symmetrically on top of one pink and black hedgehog. Smoothly, the pink hand in control spread the covers protectively for warmth and endearment.

After tugging herself and Shadow in, Amy scooted over closer to the ebony and tucked herself in underneath his right arm, lying on top of his blood-stained white fur chest with a heartfelt giggle. "Don't worry Shadow, I'm here." She promised and leaned her head up, looking down on his face.

She awed

The black hedgehog didn't even look like he just fell into unconsciousness. No...when Amy narrowed her eyes and moved in to got a better look, it was more like he was sleeping. Normally, she would notice a frown or a hardened glare in his slumber but this time...he was sleeping peacefully. Handsome wasn't the right word for it...It was...rather cute. This was the most innocent expression she's ever witnessed from him.

Lowering her eyes like a princess waiting to kiss her prince, Amy cupped a hand on the open wound of Shadow's face. "Are you having a good dream?" She asked and her answer, was when the ebony flicked an ear and snored very...delicately, almost mumbling.

Closing her eyes and withholding her laugh, Amy pulled Shadow's lips closer to hers and implanted a kiss. Merging her saliva with his blood, she moaned and traced her tongue around his lips, tasting a mixture of old copper and spice that ignited the primal sex urges she has for the ebony. Unable to contain herself, Amy brushed her leg up to his thigh and felt tickled by his fur. "You're truly wonderful, Shadow. I'll stay by your side." She swore, ending the lick with a kiss and removed her now bloodied hand from Shadow's wound.

Closing her eyes, Amy lied down on Shadow's messy white fur chest and soon relaxed, providing natural heat for both him and herself. "Just like you stayed by mines." Her eyes fluttered and the last thing she did was sigh in happiness.

And she too...fell into slumber.
