This just came to mind, and I thought it was brilliant! So, I turned it into a story and blah blah… I think it'll actually be really cute. Minor flames, unless bigger ones are necessary, and please review!
Summer is known for it's beauty. Many people say it's the most beautiful season. Some like it for it's actual beauty; others like it for they get to sit on their ass all day and do nothing. Shadow the hedgehog wasn't like typical people. He didn't think summer was beautiful, but pretty. Winter was the season that struck him as magnificent. The hedgehog loved how you can see your breathe, drink hot coco, and he even was patient enough to sit in front of a window and watch snow flakes take shape on it. Now, Shadow, as you know, isn't a guy who'd be saying 'pretty' and 'beautiful'; or at least on average occasions. Well, what could possibly make such a dramatic change to the lost soul?
The ebony hedgehog made official arch enemies years ago. Now, it was typical for him to be enemies with someone, for everyone was, but no, she was special. Like 'you're at the top of my people I want to kill list' type special, and vice versa. They both loathed each other with a passion so deadly, people thought impossible. But they didn't stop there. Their hate level increased so much, that eventually they got into a fight where they tried killing one another. Thanks to the whole gang, they got the two to calm down enough to just walk away. But then… A little detour took place, causing them to switch directions. No longer arch enemies, just enemies. Not enemies, but acquaintances. A few giant leaps, and they're considered friends. More giant leaps, and they were such good friends that they weren't seen without one another. But no, they didn't stop there. They are where they are now, which is a deep, deeplove. They complete one another. Think of… earrings. You need to have both of them, or it just wouldn't be right. Blaze was the greatest thing that happened to Shadow, as he is to her. They both made each other slightly carefree and outgoing. But alas, something had to come and hit you in the back of the head. They also made each other more stubborn, like they needed that… Even a few times, Amy and Rouge were jealous. No, not about Shadow, but they were jealous of Blaze of how she had someone who would risk their life for them, and cared as much as Shadow did. But then they look past their selfishness, and see how much good things has happened to them, and they need each other…
He swooped her up into his arms, and they were both laughing about some small joke. Their laughter seemed like the cause of the sun beaming down on them, the birds chirping, and the delicate breeze that ruffled Blaze's hair slightly. Shadow and Blaze were in their precious place; the clearing in the woods. The wood itself was magical, but the clearing made it all the better. When the couple first found their place, it looked exactly as it does now, if not, better. The clearing was lined with birch trees, tall and proud. Small hills and bumps had hair of dew scented grass that swayed in the wind. Then in the very middle was the two cypress trees that shaded their special spot in their special place. Everything was naturally beautiful. That's what Shadow thought of Blaze. She didn't wear makeup, didn't fuss if she broke a nail, and she didn't try to be beautiful; she just was. She was a girl like no other.
"Doesn't it feel so wonderful to be free?" Blaze asked, still in Shadow's arms.
"Yes, it does. And I'm always free when I'm with you." He said, and looked down at her.
The couple just came back from a perilous mission ordered by GUN, so they were still in uniform. Shadow had a simple one: black baggy pants, black boots, a gray T-shirt with a black jacket, and topping it off was his black shades. Of course GUN's uniforms aren't really designed that way, Shadow picked it out himself. But can you really say no to Shadow? No, you probably can't, or at least you could, but you wouldn't live to tell about it… Now Blaze was slightly a mixed, some of her own choice, and a bit of GUN's: Her main part was the black suit, Rouge's without the heart, but it had dark purple trim and a funky purple design on her back, black high heels with a purple stripe up the front, fingerless black gloves that covered her arm up to her elbows, and also like Shadow, black shades.
The feline slightly turned pink at his comment.
"Shadow?" She asked quietly
"Hmm?"
"…How much… do you love me?"
A moment of silence. He sat on the grassy ground, then leaned back so he was laying on it, with Blaze laying the other direction with her head on his chest; forming a T.
"Where to start? I love you more than Amy loves Faker." Shadow started
She giggled.
"I love you more than the moon loves the stars." He said, quieter.
Blaze sighed, for she thought he had poetic ability.
"I love you so much that it's not possible for me to fit all my feelings into the words 'I love you'." He went on.
"I love you so much that it'd never be possible for me to show it physically all to you in millions of lifetimes." He finished.
Again, heat rose to her cheeks.
"Oh Shadow…" She was speechless.
Her face was buried in his jacket. He stared up at the bright, empty, blue sky; deep in thought. They stayed like that for a while, thinking of one another; of their feelings. Their moment was disturbed when Blaze's ears perked up, making her jump to her feet in the matter of seconds. Shadow was easily up just as quick.
"I hear movement…" She said, concentrating.
They were on guard for the slightest sound or movement.
"Look-" Blaze was cut off by a large purple light blasting them both backwards.
Shadow couldn't easily get up, but he managed, and Blaze couldn't move. He shakily stood and scooped Blaze into his arms.
"You know, you two make a perfect couple," said a familiar voice, "and I hate that."
From the woods stepped out the all too well known Mephiles.
"Mephiles! What are you doing here!?" Shadow raised his voice, but not quite yelled.
"Well, I thought you'd be glad to see me. And if you must know, I'm here to hurt as physically and emotionally possible," He started, "and to take something of yours that I'm fond of." He looked at Blaze, who was passed out in Shadow's arms.
"Touch her, and I'll rip your insides out!" He spat.
The clone of Shadow laughed "I don't think you'll have the chance to."
He clapped his hands and disappeared, only to reappear right behind the unaware Shadow. Mephiles jumped up, and with one leg shot forward, gave a nasty kick in his back. Shadow moaned, and fell forward, dropping Blaze. The silver striped hedgehog walked up to the feline and picked her up into his arms. Shadow shook his head, and attempted to stand, succeeding on his fifth time.
"PUT HER DOWN!" Shadow yelled and charged.
"Ah ah ah! You wouldn't want to hurt her, now would you-"
Blaze's eyes jumped to life, and she punched Mephiles with a fiery fist, square in the jaw. He dropped her and held the bruised area.
"Little bitch!"
Blaze ran quickly to Shadow when she got her chance. But Mephiles didn't waste time, and he charged up a bigger purple ball, aimed straight for Shadow. Unfortunately, it was a direct hit.
"SHADOW!" Blaze screamed.
Dark rain clouds cast overhead, and the hedgehog fell to the ground. While Blaze was trying to mend Shadow, Mephiles came up from behind and tied her up with non flammable ropes.
"Let go!" She shrieked.
Shadow screamed her name, and with a bloody nose, twisted ankle, and broken arm, once again got up. But he wasn't fast enough. Mephiles already had her, and they were being sucked into a purple liquid. The last thing said by her was "I love you".
Tears streamed down his face, mixed in with the pouring rain. Shadow yelled and screamed, banged and punched the ground where she was taken. All to get him no where… And the rain poured harder.
I think this will be a pretty coolio story! Yeah, already Blaze is taken. But I'm not rushing; it's suppose to be like that. The whole story is based off of it. Review please!
