I DO NOT OWN SONIC OR SHADOW OR ANYTHING!
I could hear the people screaming as I ran towards the lasers. Everyone else was running away, completely unaware that I was there to save them. More lasers came down, trying to kill me. I hate Eggman. He is so stupid, and his plans never work. I heard someone curse behind me, not Eggman, obviously. It sounded like Shadow. "Why would he be following me" I thought. Another laser came down. I moved to the right, but it hit my foot anyway. I fell down with a scream. I never knew those lasers hurt so much, since I have never been hit by one. A second laser came down at me. "Well shit. There goes my life" I thought.
I felt someone grab my arm and pull me into their arms, cradling me like a baby.
"What's a matter Faker? A little laser too much for ya?" I looked up to see Shadow. "So it was him following me. Interesting."
"Shadow? What are you doing here? Why are you following me? Where…?" I was cut short when Shadow set me down behind a house. I was horrified.
"What are you doing? You can't just leave me here!"
"Tell me Faker? How were you planning on defeating Eggman and his machine of evil lasers, with a hurt foot?" He smirked down at me, and I glared up at him.
"I…" I didn't know what to say. He had me there. Wait, what was he doing? "Shadow? What are you planning on doing, if you're leaving me here?"
"Um. I was planning on defeating him myself. I mean, if you can't walk, how are you supposed to stop him. You never did answer that." I sighed, what could I say. 'I was planning on fighting off the pain and stopping him.' No, that wouldn't work, he'd laugh at me, if Shadow was capable of laughing.
"Exactly. So, here I go, see ya later Faker." He started walking away.
"Shadow! Wait." He turned back, a look of annoyance on his face. "Um, thanks for helping me and…be careful." I looked down at the ground, not being able to look at him. I'd never thanked him before, or ever cared if he got hurt. I always thought that he deserved it, but…things are changing now. It seems that I like him. I heard Shadow walk back to where I was sitting. He knelt down in front of me. He lifted my chin with his head, so that I had to look at him.
"Thanks Faker." He paused, and it was silent for a minute, at least, it would have been without the lasers and people screaming. "Well, I'd better go save the world for ya." He smiled just a little bit, but it was enough. I gasped and my eyes widened. His smile got bigger. He got up to leave, again, but paused. He only said these words, "By the way, Faker, you're blushing." Before I could say anything, he was gone, running out to do my job. I looked after him, hoping he was going to be all right. I muttered out loud, to no one but me, "I love you Shadow."
Sorry for such a short chapter! The other ones are better and longer. There will be 'fluff' (as people call it) in the 7th or 8th chapter and beyond (but not EVERY chapter after words)
