Beyond Passion

Chapter One

Eggman's Base

The Dark laboratory stood quiet in the building of Eggman's Base. The only sounds that could be heard were the whirring noises of wires and the working of a capsule standing in the middle of it, glowing blue, inside lay a silent still figure.

The capsule used to be the solid frozen prison of Shadow the Hedgehog, but it now held another creature, another Ultimate Life Form created by Eggman. In it lay a black and grey wolf, its snout stood not yet sniffing the air, not twitching, not moving a muscle that showed any sign of life. The wires that were connected to its head whirred and buzzed as it kept it alive.

Although the creature lay peaceful and motionless in the capsule, there was something more that lay beneath the skin of it. Although it looked so peaceful and harmless, it would soon be awakened, and soon walk the planet like another average Mobian, but with a desire, and hunger. Yet it was unknown what this creature would desire then it finally awoke.

At the bottom of the capsule was a polished sign, a sign where above it were some buttons with letters and numbers ready for some fingers to type in a password that would awaken it. On the sign, were some letters that would describe the creature, a name. A name that one day Mobians would all fear. A name that would be a new name in the history of Evil.

RAZOR THE WOLF

The Cruise Ship

The rocking motion of the ship awoke Rouge, she opened her eyes and she felt soft fur stroke against her skin. Her fingers stroked through a thick patch of white fur, she lifted her head to see Shadow asleep with his arms around her; he was stroking the top of her head with his hand.

As she moved, Shadow too arose, "hello sleepy head" he smiled as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead; Rouge smiled and nuzzled her husband's muzzle. She remembered they were on a cruise going towards their honeymoon destination on the Exotic parts of Mobius.

She began to smile remembering when Shadow had surprised her the morning after their wedding night, he had taken her to the balcony, he had then turned into his super form and had carried her towards the sea port:

Flashback

Rouge opened her eyes as she felt a cool breeze wash over her face, she then saw the muslin curtains billowing across the room from the large French windows leading to the balcony. She then looked up again to see her husband still sleeping soundly. She sighed happily remembering the passion they shared last night.

She lay back down next to him and snuggled closer to him, as she did Shadow opened his eyes and smiled at Rouge "hey love" he said softly, reaching his hand up to caress her hair. Rouge laughed, she snuggled closer to Shadow and wrapped her arms around him, Shadow also wrapped his arms around her and began to kiss her.

"Yesterday was amazing!" Rouge said happily as she nuzzled her nose against Shadow's "yeah!" said Shadow kissing her nuzzle sending little butterfly kisses up and down her cheeks and her nose. "I couldn't dream of anything better!" Rouge smiled. Shadow then smirked. "What?" Rouge asked.

"It just got better Rouge!" he laughed, he sat up and pointed towards the small table in the middle of the room, Rouge sat up and looked at the small table, then she gasped. It was set with silver and china, with some silver trays of food, the warm scent of sausages filled her nose.

"Shad?" she said with surprise, "What, How?" she looked towards the black hedgehog who grinned again, "while you were sleeping so soundly" he said "I called room service and asked them to have this set up" Rouge looked at the table, then back at Shadow grinning.

She then put her arms around her husband and hugged him, "you're so sweet Shadow" she whispered "this isn't like you at all!" she kissed him passionately and Shadow returned the kiss. "Come Rouge" smiled Shadow "shall we tuck in?" Rouge nodded.

Shadow then climbed out of bed pulling on a red and black silken dressing gown, Rouge then picked up a short silk purple robe that was hanging by her side of the bed. She slid out of bed with Shadow. Shadow then lead her to the table and pulled out the chair for his lady, "Oh Shad" said Rouge "this really isn't like you" Shadow grinned again and sat down on the other side of the table. He then lifted the lid of one of the trays where is showed some sizzling and tasty sausages, crisp dripping bacon, and some mouth-watering fried eggs.

Rouge gasped again "Shad" she cried "you ordered all of this?" Shadow nodded and stroked her hand, "the best I can offer for my dear wife" he smirked, he then caressed her cheek. "You deserve the best Rouge" he said. Rouge smiled and looked down at her food, her mouth was watering.

Soon after they had finished their breakfast, Rouge dabbed her mouth with a napkin wiping some of the fat off. Shadow had piled the plates up and had put them on a tray ready for when the maid would come in to clean.

"I'll just go into the bathroom and change" said Rouge standing up and stretching, "ok" said Shadow standing up too and brushing the crumbs off his dressing gown "I showered earlier Rouge" said Shadow "before I ordered the breakfast" Rouge walked up to her husband and put her arms around him.

"I love you so much Shadow" she whispered, "You really are romantic!" she smiled, Shadow then kissed her again. "If I could make a wish Rouge" said Shadow "it would be still last night, when we were together, in each other's arms". Rouge nuzzled her face against his fluffy chest. "I wish it too" she whispered.

Rouge then let go of Shadow and said "I'd better have a wash" she said, "ok" said Shadow, he let go of Rouge and she walked over to the bathroom to change. Whilst she was in the bathroom Shadow quickly walked over to one of the suitcases that was on the sofa and began rummaging in it to look for some clothes.

He found a pair of leather trousers, a black shirt and his long leather trench coat; he then picked up the crumpled wedding dress and tuxedo that were on the floor from where they had thrown them last night. Shadow packed the last of the stuff in the suitcases and then after making sure they were all together, he pulled a green chaos emerald from his pocket and chaos controlled out of the room with the luggage.

In the Bathroom Rouge had a nice long shower and then began to change into her clothes. Some black leather trousers, and a purple top that showed her ample cleavage, she admired herself in the mirror. She preened a little bit, then walked out of the room. As she did she saw the suitcases were gone and Shadow was standing by the balcony waiting for her.

"Where did everything go?" she asked confused, Shadow just smirked, "come here Rouge" he said, Rouge walked over confused. Shadow then smirked again, "close your eyes" he said. Rouge obeyed and shut her eyes still confused. Shadow smirked again and pulled the chaos emerald out again.

The emerald then began to glow then Shadow's fur began to glow, his leather coat fluttered about from the emerald's energy. He then touched Rouge's hand, Rouge flinched a bit, he felt so surprisingly warm. Shadow then walked behind her and held her waist.

"Hold on" he whispered, lifting her arm to wrap around his neck, Rouge then clasped his shoulder, she let out a nervous chuckle, "I've got you" Shadow whispered in her ear. He then leaned down and lifted her legs so he was carrying her bridal style. "It's ok" he whispered "you're safe, do you trust me?" Rouge nodded "I trust you".

Shadow then slowly lifted off the ground and began to float above the balcony. Rouge felt herself get lifted up, she clasped tighter to Shadow. "Ok" whispered Shadow "Open your eyes" Rouge slowly opened them, she then found herself in Shadow's arms in the sky above the hotel and above the city of Mobotropolis.

Rouge gasped "Shadow!" she cried, she looked at Shadow who was glowing a beautiful milky gold colour, "Are you ready for the honeymoon Rouge?" he asked smiling. Rouge smiled and nodded excitedly. "Hold on!" said Shadow, and he began to fly over the city towards the Mobotropolis docks.

As he flew, Rouge held on tightly to Shadow and giggled as she watched the city fly by; Shadow flew over the large city until he saw the sparkling sea ahead, and a large cruise ship was standing on one of the docks. Rouge then saw it, "oh wow!" she cried "that's an amazing ship!" Shadow just smirked.

End Flashback

Rouge smiled again "he really surprised me there" she whispered to herself. She snuggled closer to Shadow and Shadow lowered his head to kiss her neck. Rouge giggled as she felt his hot breath from his nose tickle her skin and his lips delicately touch her neck. She looked up to the window from where bright sunshine was pouring in.

Shadow then stopped kissing her neck then pulled himself out of bed, Rouge climbed up behind him and put her arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder. "I feel so happy that we are able to do this Shadow" she said "We've been on missions together as partners, but never anything like this as lovers"

Shadow stroked her hand, "I have to agree with you" he said "I never thought it would be like this" Rouge smiled again, "we don't need Eggman at all Shad" she said "it was alright working with him for a while, but we don't need him" Shadow smiled, "Yeah, just us, leading our own lives and fighting our own battles" Rouge giggled and hugged her husband.
