"(sigh) I hope she doesn't get mad at me for leaving her alone hopefully she'll find my note" thought the red and black hedgehog as he sat on a bench watching things happen. I don't understand love but what is this feeling when I'm with her? It's like nothing else matters but her at the moment is it love? I want to understand. I want to now do I love her? Stop with the whole "I don't understand emotion thing" already Shadow looked up to see a purple hedgehog with a red hoodie and black leggings standing in front of him. What do you want Ayane? He asked before he turned his head to the side. You should take your hood off it makes more approachable. What do you want girl?

Oh nothing just thought I'd take a stroll…tease you a bit. So you want to get stronger? She said as she sat down next to him. No I want to understand emotion. You're still on with that? You understand emotion you just don't want to face it. Shut up whispered Shadow. You love her you just don't want to admit it because your own fear of getting too attached gets the way. Shut up he said more clearly. You want to get stronger so another "Maria" situation never happens again right? Shut up he said out loud. The thought of anything happening to those you care about just cuts away at your insides doesn't it? I SAID SHUT UP! Shadow was holding Ayane by the collar of her breathing angrily and heavily.

They sat there in silence for what seemed like minutes until Ayane broke the silence. There is no one stronger than a man in control of his emotions. She put his hands down and stood up. You want strength look inside yourself. Meditate power is increased severely when mind and body are in sync. Well I'm gonna get going. Wait! She stopped but didn't look back at him. I know you better than you know yourself I can even read your thoughts Shadow. You want to know how to get even stronger. Learn to play an instrument it'll help you focus and will gradually make you stronger. Also, What? Shadow asked eagerly. It's super obvious when you stare at my butt. I wasn't staring! Course you weren't. Anyhow if you need more advice just hit me up I'm always free. And we can always hook up if it doesn't work out with bat girl she said in a sultry tone. Like I would ever hook up with you! You're already mine Shadow you just don't know it she said as she walked away.

Man I hate her Said Shadow but she does have a nice ass. I heard that shadow! Stop reading my mind damn it! He sat back down and thought about their conversation. Ayane is right I need to get so I can protect her. Well I might as well get started who knows when something will go down.
