Confused Hearts

Chapter 1

The sun was bright in the light blue sky, while a few clouds floated across the horizon. There was a soft breeze blowing throughout the air when out of nowhere it turned into a small tornado as a blue streak went speeding by. The blue figure stopped at an old maple tree stretching his legs and taking a deep breath of the fresh air.

"Sonic is there any way you could slow down just a little" yelled a two tailed fox flying over to him.

"Sorry about that little buddy I just got excited by how nice the weather was" said Sonic with a huge grin on his face.

"That's okay I know how much the weather affects your running mood" laughed Tails.

"So what do you want to do now?" asked Sonic. "We could always go for a walk in the Mystic Ruins".

"Okay than let's go," said Sonic making his thumbs up sign.

As Sonic and Tails took off for Mystic Ruins they did not notice the little robot cam following them.

"Wow it's been a while since we've been here" said Sonic taking in all of the jungle that surrounded him and Tails.

"Yeah the last time we were here it was when Chaos got to his final form," said Tails.

Sonic remembered battling Chaos and saving the world from a horrible flood. He had just finished an adventure about a month ago when Eggman had tried to mess up time and space. The only cool thing about the whole thing was that Sonic got to work with his past self, who was way past, cool. Sonic and Tails walked around for a bit when the eventually came to Big's hut.

"Hey I wonder if Big is home," said Tails.

They walked to the back of the hut and saw Big fishing in a little pond.

"Yo Big what's up" asked Sonic.

"Look Froggy more friends have come to visit us" said Big with Froggy sitting on his head.

"Was Amy or Cream here" asked Sonic.

"Nope it was that black hedgehog fellow".

"Shadow" said Sonic and Tails in unison.

"What was he doing here" asked Tails.

"He said he was looking for one of the pretty gems" said Big.

"Sounds like there might be a chaos emerald around here than, what do you think we should do Sonic".

"Sonic" Tails looked over at Sonic who was staring into space.

Sonic had not heard a word Tails had said because he was too busy thinking about Shadow. He had asked him to come to his birthday party that Tails had set up for him before all the time and space nonsense had started. Sonic had been wanting to spend some time with Shadow and show him what having a friend was like. He only showed up when Sonic was in trouble though. Sonic could not understand why Shadow had not come. He then felt a sudden tap on his shoulder. He looked over at Tails who had a worried expression.

"Sonic are you alright".

"Yeah just zoned out I guess, come on Tails lets go see what that faker is up to now" said Sonic speeding off.

"Bye Big" said Tails flying after Sonic.

It had been about five minutes of them wondering around when they spotted Shadow near the temple ruins.

"Hey Shadow" called Sonic running up to him.

Shadow looked up from where he was kneeling down.

"Oh great it's you" sighed Shadow.

. Sonic stopped dead in his tracks why had that offended him so bad.

"Nice to see you to Shads".

"Shadow is it true that there is a chaos emerald around here" asked Tails walking over to him and Sonic.

"I don't think so; I only came because of the rumors I heard".

"Oh well I guess there is no reason to check than" said Sonic crossing his arms.

"What were not even going to look around" said Tails shocked.

"Yeah I think Shadow can handle it from here".

"Was that a complement faker" asked Shadow.

Tails than felt the tense in the air between the two hedgehogs, he was about to say something when out of nowhere a huge tail came out of nowhere and sent him flying over the trees.

"Tails!" yelled Sonic.

The ground began to shake as Sonic and Shadow saw a huge robotic snake came out of the jungle it was a dark purple with red glowing eyes.

"I knew this was a trap" muttered Shadow.

"Wait what do you mean you knew this was a trap".

Sonic did not get an answer due to Shadow speeding away to fight the snake. Sonic sighed, way did Shadow always think he had to do everything all by himself. Sonic heard his com link ringing on his wrist. He opened the metal flap and saw Tails on the screen.

"Tails are you okay".

"Don't worry Sonic I managed to get airborne before I hit the ground".

Sonic sighed with relief.

"Hey Tails I think we are going to need the tornado for this one" Sonic looking back at the robot trying to catch Shadow.

"Already on it Sonic, Tails out". Sonic closed the com link and raced into battle.

Sonic jumped into the air and went for a spin dash at the side of the robots head. As Sonic made contact he noticed that he just got bounced right back off. Sonic landed on the ground and noticed a shield around the robots head. He then attacked the tail but the same thing happened, it was like the whole robot was in the shield. As Sonic thought of a plan he did not notice the missile that the robot had shot at him. When Sonic saw it, it was too late even for him to get out of the way. Sonic was than roughly pushed to the ground. Shadow had grabbed him and pulled him out of the way. Sonic opened his eyes to see Shadow laying on top of him. Shadow lifted himself up with his hands and was hovering right above Sonic's face their noses almost touching. Than it was as if all time stopped as the two hedgehogs looked into each other's eyes. Sonic felt his cheeks beginning to grow hot and his heart was beating faster than he could run, Shadow's eyes were so calm and collected as they gazed into his own. His heart than started beating faster when he realized that Shadow's hand was on his own.

"Um Shadow, you can get up now".

Shadow snapped back into reality as he got off of Sonic.

"Oh sorry".

Sonic than thought the moon was on fire, did Shadow just apologize to him.

"No… it's okay thanks for saving me," said Sonic.

Shadow only glanced at him before he went back to attacking the robot.

Sonic just stood there still trying to figure out what he had been feeling when he was staring at Shadow. He knew what the feeling was he just did not want to admit it.

Could he be falling in love with Shadow?
