Title: Connection
Author: Blu Evermind
Summary: When Sonic and Shadow went Super, the combined power of the Chaos Emeralds connects Sonic and Shadow to each other. A year after Shadow's disappearance, Sonic still can't let go. What could it mean?
A/N: Yes, this is a yaoi. Get it through your heads.
Chapter One
"Syanora, Shadow the Hedgehog."
There was a bright light. Shadow squinted his eyes because of the brightness. Maria had died, and didn't when you die, you see a bright light? Shadow made for it, wanting to see his Maria more than anything at that moment. He'd done what she told him to do, Earth was protected, now what about him? What did he get? Shadow wanted to see Maria very badly but when he tried to lift a foot, he found that he couldn't move anything.
Shadow was sure that Maria was in Heaven, hopefully waiting for him. But did Heaven even exist to Shadow? He was made, not born. He was sure God had no hand in his existence. A wave of depression came over Shadow. If he was dead, and he couldn't get into Heaven, would he have to go to Hell? No, Hell was full of brimestone and fire--and this sort of place of nothing didn't seem like Hell. What would happen to Shadow now? Would he stay like this forever, lost in a place that wasn't really a place, a soul wandering nothingness? He'd have to wait and see.
So he waited.

It was a crisp, cool, summer day. Tails had got Sonic out of the house with the help of Amy Rose and the group decided to go to Twinkle Park for the day. Well, Sonic didn't actually say anything--but the majority won and they set out for the walk. Sonic had told them that he just wanted to say home. He said he was feeling tired lately and wanted to get some sleep. Amy didn't take this answer and pulled him out anyway.
After half an hour of trying to have fun and having Sonic ruin it with his heavy quilt of depression, Tails and Amy left him on a park bench and went over to a snack stand to get some drinks.
"What's wrong with Soniku? He's been acting like this for some time." Amy said, worried about her blue hero. No pun intented.
"It was like a year ago, after the ARK accident. I don't think he's been able to forgive himself for Shadow dying. But he couldn't save him, it wasn't possible, even for him." Tails explained, "At first, it was just looking like a teenage emotional roller coaster ride, depressed then happy...but its gotten worse."
"You don't think he'd do something crazy like suicide, do you?" Amy quickly asked.
A cold chill went down Tails' back, "N-no. Not Sonic." Tails said quickly, not wanting to worry Amy and trying to make himself believe that also. He looked over to the bench where Sonic was. The hegdehog was deep in thought, bent over with his arms on his knees with his hands propping up his head.

Some hero I am. I can't even save one person. I should have died for him or something, its like I shouldn't even be living right now. Maybe if we'd both have died, I wouldn't be feeling this huge pile of doubt that breaks away at my spine and my soul.
My soul?
Sometimes, if I'm really concentrated, I feel like I don't have a body. And then a fresh wave of loss and confusion comes over me. I can't go somewhere, I can't see someone...what does it mean? The feelings I have, they aren't mine to feel but I do.
And then I get to thinking about him. About Shadow. And then he's not dead suddenly. But he's dead. Dead dead dead dead. And I can't bring him back. I don't get a second chance, there is no continue, no extra life. But I feel as though he's alive again and I just....I'm at a fork in the road.
I can't keep going on like this, I can't live any longer if I can't accept the truth when I know its the truth when something else--something that's not even mine is stopping me.
DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD....

The day of doing nothing passed really fast with Tails and Amy. And before Sonic knew it, he was back at his apartment in Station Square, looking out a window up at the starry sky. The moon was still in pieces, an object of reflection on the chaos that was witnessed only a year ago. Sonic sighed and followed a falling star as it made its golden way across the sky. Then it began to fall.
As it fell, it got bigger and bigger, until Sonic's keen sight noticed its odd, smooth shape. Like a golden gem, falling. Sonic did a double take. Gems do not fall from the sky. For a fleeting moment, Sonic was reminded of the fake emerald that Tails had created. Whatever happened to that? But the moment he thought it, he doubted it. But that feeling that didn't belong to him was taking over and before he knew it, he was outside, running at supersonic speeds towards the landing site.

Okay, so what do you think? This is the new improved "Connection" with which I believe is way better...I've improved the plot.
