"Ready Sonic?" The two-tailed fox asked his hedgehog friend.

"Ready!" Sonic answered as he got himself ready to run.

"Go!" Tails yelled as he blew a whistle and within the blink of an eye, Sonic disappeared into nothing but a dust cloud.

Sonic laughed to himself as he passed many obstacle courses.

"Hah! This is all too easy!" Sonic sneered to himself after passed another obstacle.

"Not everything is as easy as it seems.." A voice whispered.

"Huh?" Sonic wondered where the voice was coming from then *THUD!* Sonic fell into a hole, one of his obstacles.

"Sonic!" Tails called as he ran over to Sonic who was in the hole. "Are you ok!!?" Tails asked as he observed Sonic's body for any wounds.

"I'll be fine, Tails, really." Sonic smiled at his two-tailed fox friend. Tails smiled.

"We better get home now, its getting late." Tails suggested as he watched the sun slowly set.

Sonic nodded, "Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll finish training in the morning." Sonic replied as he stood up and dusted himself off.

Tails extended his hand to Sonic who was still in that hole. "Need a hand?" Tails smiled. Sonic nodded and took Tails' hand as Tails pulled him up.

After Sonic and Tails walked off back to their hut, a shadowed figure watched from afar. The figure takes shallow breaths as its eyes glow redder.

"I'll get you, Sonic, I swear..one day I'll get you.." The shadowed figure whispered as it appeared from the shadows, Shadow!

Shadow looked around the forest area, snarling at the sight. "Out of all places, I never knew he'd be in this dump!" He growled low and slowly walked to the hut.

Inside the hut, Sonic and Tails are sitting on the couch eating chilli dogs and watching TV. Shadow hisses when seeing Tails next to Sonic.

"Drats, he has company." Shadow growled as he looked once more. "I'll just have to get rid of that stupid little fox." Shadow then grinned and laughed evily to himself.

A few minutes later, Tails goes off into the kitchen to get some icecream, Shadow sneaks around in the shaded areas of the kitchen.

"Why hello, Tails.." Shadow whispered. Tails twitched his ear and turned around to where the voice was coming from.

"Show yourself!" Tails quietly demanded, trying not to sound too harsh.

Shadow grinned, "With pleasure." He whispered as he walked out of the shadows and before Tails. Tails' eyes widened in shock.

"Shadow!? What are you doing here!!?" Tails snapped impatiently, "I thought you died in that explosion!!" Shadow grinned at Tails' hidden fear.

"Oh, I survived, that's one of the best things of being the most powerful being in the world." Shadow chuckled to himself. Tails growled.

"Why are you here?" Tails whispered through gritted teeth, Shadow smirked.

"Why, for Sonic of course." Shadow snickered as Tails growled low.

"Keep away from Sonic, Shadow!" Tails demanded, Shadow yawned.

"Oh? And WHO's gonna make me?" Shadow joked boredly.

'Well, uh..I will!" Tails nervously replied, Shadow laughed.

"Actually Tails, you're going to help me get to him!" Shadow sneered. Tails growled.

"Never!" Tails yelled as Shadow smirked, then grabbed Tails by the neck and turned his body around. After that, Shadow slowly moved his hand up to Tails' mouth so Tails couldn't speak.

"MPHHHHH!" Tails muffled as Shadow's hand completely covered his mouth.

Shadow grinned and slowly kissed Tails' on the neck while Tails shivered.

"Now, you're going to get out of way until I'm done with Sonic," Shadow whispered as he grabbed a bandana and covered his mouth with it.

"MPHHHHHHHHHH!!" Tails muffled again as he began running off. Shadow growled and chased after him, then tackled him to the ground.

Tails struggled to get Shadow off him, as Shadow grabbed a rope and wrapped it around Tails, Tails continued to struggle still.

"Much better." Shadow smirked as he picked up Tails and threw him in the closet and slammed the door shut.

Sonic twitched his ear as he heard the slam, he looked around his room. "Tails? Was that you?" Sonic asked curiously. No answer.

"Tails?" Sonic asked again backing towards the door, but bumped into someone. "Tails, don't scare me like that ok?" Sonic laughed nervously to himself as he turned around to see it was not Tails he bumped into, it was Shadow.

Sonic's jaw dropped as he backed away into a wall. "Shadow??" Shadow smirked and slowly entered the room as Sonic gulped.
