Ghost

Warnings: Sonic's mouth

Disclaimer: I do not Sonic or Shadow

Sonic couldn't believe it.

One single misstep and he had ended up in some sort of limbo. What's worse is that 'Death'(dude in a long black hood with skeletal hands, big ole' scythe, points condemningly at you and says 'There are no chilidogs in the afterlife'; yeah sounds like Death to Sonic) told him the only way out was either to move on, or to find someone who could see him and have them bring him back.

Well Sonic found that person; too bad that person just so happens to be the one person who doesn't want him back by any stretch of the imagination. And the bastard was grinning at him!

"Well, well Faker," Shadow drawled, grinning evilly at the semi-transparent, floating hedgehog, "You've certainly got yourself into a mess." The dark hedgehog circled Sonic, that damn grin never leaving his face. "God Damn it, Shadow! I really need your help and you're the only one who can help me!" Sonic hated to admit it, but Shadow bwas/b his only hope.

Sonic stared at his dark counterpart imploringly, Shadow stared back at thoughtfully before he shrugged and began to walk away, tossing a parting remark over his shoulder, "Nah, I've got better things to do."

Sonic could only gape as the project walked, with oddly lighter step, "Oh no you don't!"

Crimson eyes blink as the ghost of his rival appeared in front of him and began shouting at him. "SHADOW! You can't leave me like this! Look at me! I'm a freakin' ghost! There's nothing to me!" Sonic proceeded to pass through Shadow, the black hedgehog shivered a bit as his stomach churned from the odd feeling. "And look!" The blue ex-living hero pointed to his lower half, which basically looked like swirling blue smoke where the hero's legs and feet had been.

"……Well look at it this way Faker; you always were a bit on the chubby side~"

Sonic swore loudly at the obsidian hedgehog's smirking red eyes as the punch he threw passed right through the hedgehog.
