Sonadow - The girl next door.
Chapter two
Sunrises and trouble
It was about 5am when a bang on the door was heard by black ears, causing those ears to fold backwards due to being sensitive to noises. Shadow growled and the irritation of the noise and did her best to ignore it but it was becoming harder and harder to do as the bangs grew louder with every hit. Shadow ruthlessly got out of bed and stormed down the stairs in anger.
"Who the hell goes around and bangs on other peoples doors at what...5 in the morning...this better and I mean better be a life or death situation or chaos help me I'm going to..." Shadow said in rage as she walked up to the door then opened it causing her to stop talking.
"What's the idiot from next door doing here I wonder?" Shadow thought as she stared at Sonic who looked nervous at being at her door.
"H-hi...I know its early and all but I-I was kind of wondering if you would erm...that is if you wanted to err...I mean you don't have to, I just thought it would be nice if you wanted to watch the sunrise with me..." Sonic nervously asked as he watched Shadow's facial expressions change from angered to annoyed backed to angered then stopping at shocked.
"No one has ever asked me to watch a sunrise with them...should I go or slam the door in his face which by the way is so tempting considering the damn time...Oh shit I better answer him..." Shadow thought then her expression changed to a slightly softer look.
"So you're telling me you woke me up at 5 in the morning just to watch the sunrise with you...you have guts I'll give you that but I guess it won't do any harm in watching it with you. Although you do realise the sun won't rise for another 45 minutes." Shadow gave him her answer in a friendliest tone she could master up.
"I understand...maybe another...wait did you just say yes?" Sonic replied then gave a huge smile as Shadow nodded to his question.
"Just let me get something...err more appropriate on." Shadow suggested with a light tint of red going across her muzzle as she remembered she was in her thin strapped sky blue nightdress that was almost see through and short in length.
"...C-can I come in and wait...I won't touch anything." Sonic asked as he allowed his eyes to roam over what Shadow was wearing and a blush made its way to Sonic's muzzle, Shadow's muzzle darkened a little as she noticed Sonic 'checking her out'.
"I-I guess you could." Shadow replied, stepping to one side and allowing Sonic to enter her new and completely clean house then closing the door gently after he had entered.
Across the road from where Shadow and Sonic were just talking, Amy was at her window with an angered look. She had just witnessed everything including, chaos only knows how, Sonic blushing. Tears of anger fell down her face as she once again witnessed the two leave Shadows home and walk off somewhere.
She saw what Shadow was wearing and she glared in hatred. Shadow was dressed in a short'ish dark purple dress that has a sparkly silver belt going around her thin waist, she was wearing sliver coloured boots that were flat and had wearied nozzles on the soles of them both.(NA I've decided that all of Shadow's footwear will be hover skates but in different designs.) Her quills were neatly groomed and resting on her forehead was a pair of black sunglasses.
"That new girl has got to go. I've spent a hell of a long time getting Sonic to be with me and now this boyfriend stealer thinks she can just take him...well she has messed with the wrong hedgehog." Amy said to herself through gritted teeth and clenching and unclenching her fists as she watched the two walk out of her sight.
"But how am I going to drive her away...I'm not good with thinking of ideas...Rouge is perfect with that stuff...but she will never help me do something like this unless I say something to her about the new girl trying it on with Knuckles...Rouge has gone away and won't be back until tomorrow afternoon so she will have to believe me." Amy thought to herself as she laid down on her sofa and stared out of the window with a devious grin.
Meanwhile Sonic and Shadow had just arrived to the spot Sonic was leading them to, which was a cliffs edge that had a perfect view of the sunrise and the ocean that stretched out for miles. They sat side by side on a bench facing the view that was yet to come. Sonic started to feel nervous over the silence that was between them and he felt that if a conversation didn't strike soon, he was going to bolt for it.
"So...do you come here often?" Shadow asked in a calm voice as she looked out towards where this sun was going to rise.
"Y-yeah almost every day actually, no one else knows I come here and they kind of don't know about this place." Sonic replied in a friendly tone and he could feel his nerves slowly disappear as they talked.
"I see well I won't tell them, whoever 'them' are." Shadow replied as she glanced over at the blue male with a smirk.
"Especially not Amy...this is the only place I can go without her throwing herself at me and squeezing me half to death...Oh you've never met Amy she's..." Sonic announced but was cut short when he was about to describe Amy.
"A pink hedgehog with a sickeningly sweet tone of voice when excited, a horrid red dress with boots and quills pinned back by a kiddie hair band...she came to my door yesterday with a white bat in an outfit that looked as if she just came back from working at a strippers club for spies. With that tight jump suit on and with her breasts on display like that, talk about have some dignity in your appearance." Shadow stated with an annoyed tone at the two girls then looked over at Sonic as he laughed then added with a confused tone and look, "What's so funny?"
"What you said about Amy and Rouge...ha...that is exactly what I think." Sonic admitted with a smile in Shadows direction.
Shadow smirked at that and continued to look out as the skies started to brighten from the rising sun. Shadow's eyes grew wide at how beautiful the skies had become in such a short space of time. They were a mixture of oranges, pinks and reds, all blended as one. Then came the sun in all its glory, rising from the horizon above the sea, causing the sea to reflect all the wonderful colours in the sky.
"It's beautiful...it's like someone has painted a master piece in the sky and ocean...but it hurts your eyes after a while, better put my sunglasses on." Shadow thought then sliding down her sunglasses over her eyes.
"It's wonderful isn't it Shads..." Sonic whispered out in a calm tone as he watched with a peaceful expression.
"Yeah I guess it is...and my name is Shadow not Shads." Shadow admitted in the same whispered tone then corrected Sonic in a more firm tone and she gave him an annoyed look.
"Ok, ok...Shads." Sonic re-corrected in a joking manner and grinned in Shadow's direction, causing Shadow to glair back at Sonic.
"Don't make me tell you a second time blue." Shadow warned with a playful smirk.
"I'm sorry Shads..." Sonic said with a smirk of his own.
"That's it..." Shadow shouted out then pounced on Sonic, sunglasses flying off her face as she pinned Sonic to the ground beside the bench they were just on.
Sonic wasn't expecting this and also wasn't expecting Shadow to be this strong and fast. They both glared into each other's eyes while on the ground. Sonic started to blush at the position they were in. Shadow was sitting on Sonic's waist line with her legs firmly holding Sonic's down and her hands were holding Sonic's upper body to the ground.
"I dare you to call me Shads again." Shadow challenged in a whispered tone in Sonics ear while also giving off a playfully smirk, making Sonic's nerves rush back at full force.
"..." Sonic was just too speechless and slightly embarrass at their current position to even think about calling her the pet name he had given her, which caused a silence between the two.
"I'm glad you have finally seen the light Sonic...and if..." Shadow started to say but was cut short by Sonic whom managed to flip them both over so Shadow was being pinned instead.
"Sorry Shads but rule number one is...never let your guard down." Sonic said with a grin at the shocked and slightly confused Shadow.
Shadow came out of shock and cursed in her mind for letting her guard down and now she was the one being pinned against her will. Shadow frowned at the hedgehog above her and tried to wiggle out of his hold. She squirmed and wriggled but was having no luck, she even tried to push him off but Sonic had her fully secured to the ground.
"GET OFF ME NOW!" Shadow shouted in rage as memories of her passed relationship flooded her mind.
Let's just say her X-boyfriend was highly controlling and would force Shadow to do things she didn't want to do and it would always end up with Shadow helplessly pinned down with no escape.
"P-please let me go..." Shadow slightly whispered as tears fell down her cheeks from the intense feeling of those memories.
Sonic was off of her as fast as lighting as soon as he noticed the tears rolling down Shadow's cheeks and instantly felt guilty for making her cry.
"I-I'm so sorry Shadow, I didn't mean to make you cry." Sonic announced with a sad look and ears pinned back from all the guilt.
Shadow sat up and wiped away her tears then looked up at Sonic with puffy eyes, giving him a soft look and smile. She stood up and brushed her dress down, wiping any dirt away from the ground then picked up her sunglasses and put them over her head. She looked back at Sonic with the same soft smile causing him to suddenly become confused.
"It's not your fault...m-my X-boyfriend...well he used to pin me down whenever I refused to do what he wanted and I would always end up getting hurt..." Shadow admitted in a low tone then all of a sudden she growled in anger then added, "because of him I lost every ounce of my innocence, dignity and respect for others."
"I'm not like that...I'll never make you do anything you don't want to do. I totally respect you as a being and a woman. I'm sorry you had an ass for a boyfriend I truly am. I just don't understand how he could ever treat you like that. I know we have only just met but I can already see how wonderful you truly are Shadow and I do hope we can be great friends." Sonic announced in a warm tons causing Shadow to calm down from her rage. Then thought, "I hope we can be more then friends...I am in love with you..."
"You really mean that Sonic...thank you and I would love it if we were friends...well the sun is up now so should we go home?" Shadow answered Sonic in a friendly voice and smile.
"Sure we could take a relaxing walk back home if you like." Sonic suggested which earned him a nod from Shadow.
"Oh yeah by the way if you say anything to anyone about what I've told you and what you've witnessed then I will chaos blast you to hell and leave you there." Shadow threatened in a scarily sweet tone, making Sonic gulp then froze from walking.
"Wait you, you have chaos abilities?" Sonic asked in a slightly surprised tone then thinking, "I knew I felt something powerful coming off of her yesterday."
"Oops...Err yeah but please don't tell anyone, I kind of like to fit in around here and I don't want too much attention otherwise my X might find me...again." Shadow somewhat explained as she slightly turned her head to look at Sonic.
"You can count on me, I won't tell a sole about your powers and if your X does show his ugly butt then I'll kick it back to where he came from." Sonic promised with a warm smile.
Shadow smiled in return and the two newly acquainted friends took a relaxing walk back to their homes, both hoping to avoid a cretin pink hedgehog on their travels.
