Heya, guys! Long time no see, eh? Yeah, I'm sorry about that. ^^; Y'see, I've been having huge (And I mean huge) writer's block with The Shadow and The Angel. Which is probably 'cause there hasn't been much reviews (Reviews get me inspired to write more, I have no idea why. . . ^^;). So I wrote the first chapter o' this! It's rated M for sex scenes and whatnot. Crap, I'm such a pervert. T3T Enjoy, and review, I beg you! If you dislike Maria Robotnik and/or the Sonic fandom, this story is not for you! Everyone else, please read on. :)

CA-RAAAAAACK! Went the lightning, and Maria heard a deadly familiar scream ring in her ears. Just as the thunder threatened to get ten times louder, just as another bolt of lightning slashed through the sky, Maria opened her eyes and gasped. The blond fox sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Urrrrr. . ." She groaned. She checked her surroundings to make sure that, one, she wasn't dead, and two, she wasn't having that nightmare. Wall? Check. Door? Check. Window? Check. Incredibly sexy black hedgehog sleeping next to her? You know it. Maria sighed and placed her head back on the pillow, but she couldn't sleep for whatever reason. She felt a gentle squeeze on her hand, and she saw Shadow's tired red eyes watching her. The black hedgehog's eyes were also half-lidded. "You alright?" He asked. Maria sighed. "Sure, I'm fine." She didn't want Shadow to worry, but she knew he knew she was lying. "Did you have another dream?" Shadow asked, placing his elbow on his pillow while facing her. There was silence. Then Maria finally nodded. "Yes." "Same house?" "Yup." "Same scream?" "Uh-huh." The blond fox answered. Shadow pulled her closer. "Is it scaring you?" He whispered, only to be answered by more silence. "Y-Yes." Maria whispered in reply as Shadow kissed her forehead. "Don't be afraid. . ." "O-Okay. . ." The two laid on their backs and stared up at the wall. ". . . Shadow, can I ask you something?" Maria asked suddenly. Shadow looked at Maria. Please don't want a kid. He thought to himself. "Mm? Of course, what is it?" "Um. . . Are you really ready to start a marriage with me?" "Why wouldn't I be?" "I-I don't know. . . It's just that I thought. . ." "Maria, look at me." Shadow said. Maria turned her head to face his slightly firm expression. Shadow held her cheek in his hand, looking into his fiancé's blue eyes. "Maria, you are my everything. I would save your life for anything, even if it meant losing my own. I've lost nothing if I haven't lost you. I love you way too much to lose you. Ever." Shadow whispered. "That's why I want you joined in my life, so that every moment is with you." Maria blushed at Shadow's soft-as-velvet words. "Oh, Shadow. . ." "Mm. My angel." The black hedgehog whispered as he dug his face into Maria's neck, and began to kiss it. "Nnn. . . " Maria moaned as she leaned against her pillow. "Shady. . ." "Maria. . . Mmmm. . . Your scent is much sweeter than usual, my Maria. . ." "Haaaa. . ." Maria's cheeks were red as a rose as Shadow gently licked her neck. The blond fox's eyes then widened when she felt her lover's teeth sink down on her neck, right above the territorial marks he did on her a while back. "A-Aaah! Sh-Shadow. . ." "Mmm. . . Maria. . ." Shadow released her neck, licking away some seeping blood. He was on top of his fiancé and he could feel her mounds pressing against his chest, which made him go wild inside. No. . . Not tonight. . . She's not ready yet. Besides. . . We've got time after the wedding. . . I can wait. . . Shadow thought to himself as he kissed Maria. "Goodnight, my precious angel. . ." The black hedgehog whispered in Maria's ear, before his eyes closed. "Goodnight, Shady. . . I love you. . . " "I love you too, Maria. . ." The two fell asleep, Maria still underneath Shadow.
The next day
Maria was out of bed by seven-thirty, but Shadow was still fast asleep. By eight-twenty, Maria had made breakfast; bacon, scrambled eggs, and toast with butter. She walked to the side of the bed where Shadow slept and kissed his cheek softly. "Shaaaaaaadyyyyyy. . . Wake up, breakfast is ready." The blond fox whispered in her fiancé's ear, which twitched, Shadow groaned and turned on the bed like a young child refusing to wake up. "Five more minutes. . ." He muttered. "Shad, it's eight-thirty. Come on, wake up. I made bacon." "BACON?!" Shadow jumped up off the bed and dashed into the closet, getting dressed in just a few seconds, then running into the bathroom, returning with his toothbrush in his mouth. "You were saying. . . ?" "I also made you some coffee. No cream, two scoops." Maria said, her long tail swishing as she stood by the door. Shadow kissed her lips. "Best wife a man could ask for." "We're aren't lawfully wedded yet, Shady." Maria giggled, her cheeks turning pink. "Then why're you acting like we are?" Shadow chuckled, gently tapping Maria's nose. "And don't you have work at nine? Have you ate anything?" "Uh-uh," Maria replied, shaking her head, which caused her long blond hair to sway side to side. Shadow sighed. "Then take my breakfast." "And why on Earth would I do that?" "One, I don't want you passing out; two, because I'm not hungry." Shadow looked at Maria with a silly smirk on his face. "I. Win." "But-" "Uh-uh. Eat." The black hedgehog kissed Maria's forehead. The blond fox pouted a little, then gave a little smile, giving in. "Fine. But at least take your coffee, then I'll feel like a good fiancé, perhaps." "Yes, yes," Shadow said as he took the mug of coffee that said "I heart gun" on the side. Maria hugged him. "Have a good day." "You too, my angel." Shadow was out the door with those words. Maria sighed, placing her hand on the counter. I can't believe we're actually getting married this Saturday. It almost seems like a dream, Maria thought to herself. On the fourth finger of her left hand was the sparkling ring with a glowing sapphire in the center. Just a few more days, that's all that's left.
