On with my sequel!

Shadow sighed. Her rhythmical breathing is so… musical to my ears… He sighed yet again. I can't believe she let me stay in her house… she's really nice… not like Rouge… who kicked me out right after she found out that Amy let me stay with her.

(A/N- Shadow is supposed to stay w/Rouge in Shadow2Dark… remember?)

I still can't believe this… I love you, Amy… you care about me so much… Shadow stood up and sat on the chair next to the window. He heard the wind whistle. Was that the wind? It kinda sounded weird…

Suddenly he saw something moving in the darkness. Shadow took out his gun and jumped out the window. He saw the mysterious figure moving around near the trees. Shadow followed it. He finally caught up with the figure. He was as tall as Tails.

"Who are you? And why are you snooping around here at 3:00 in the morning?" Shadow asked.

It was a triple-tailed fox. Except… his tails… were engulfed in black flames. Around his hands were the same black flames. Even his eyes, showed the black fire and the hatred he showed.

"Get the HELL away from me! It isn't your business!" the small fox said.

The small fox ran away from him. Shadow was curious about that small fox. "Shadow? Are you okay?" Amy called out through the window.

She cares about me so much… "Yeah… I'm okay…"

Later…

Shadow sat up in bed. He couldn't sleep. His mind focused on that strange triple-tailed fox. His tails, hands… and even eyes… had black fire surrounding them… I know I can summon up a black fire… but only for a short while… that small boy must really be powerful and evil to do that…

He took out his Chaos Emerald and put it under his bed. He yawned and finally closed his eyes.

The next day…

The bright light coming from the opened window near him blinded Shadow. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and reached under the bed for his emerald. He gasped. It's not here! Where the hell can it be?

He jumped off of his bed and searched under his bed. No sign of it anywhere…

He was nervous. He ran downstairs where Amy was. "Ames… do you know where my emerald is?" he asked nervously.

"Umm… no… I'm baby-sitting today… so I'm awake early!" she said.

There was a ring of a doorbell and Amy answered it. A little boy came walking in with Tails.

"Hey, Shadow… meet my new friend! He just moved in and stuff! I helped him get to Amy's house… and now I gotta go! Eggman's plotting something using the Chaos Emeralds…" Tails said.

"What? What is it?" Shadow asked.

"Umm… we don't know yet…" Tails said. "Well, good bye!" he said, running out the door.

"You're Flame… right?" Amy asked.

The small boy nodded. He took of his jacket… to reveal… 3 tails.

Doh! I forgot to suggest that name to V.B.! Oh well, too late now… review please!
