Chapter three
Shade was half way down the stairs when a very ticked Midnite appeared at the bottom of the stairs. "Oh boy here we go again." Shade thought as Midnite's hands started glowing. Donning an evil grin Midnite launched her attack at Shade. Shade's answer was a front flip over the attack, freezing it on her way by. The attacks were cancelled out resulting in a flood of water down the stairs. Shade landed and, slipping on the water started rolling down the stairs. Midnite jumped straight up so Shade rolled harmlessly beneath her. Yami had just enough time to get wide eyed before Shade rolled right into him taking his feet out from under him as she went. Shade rolled to a stop and looked up into Jacinth's face. Shade immediately started laughing. Yami sat up rubbing his face where it got smacked into the floor. Growling Midnite went after Shade again. First she used Yami's head as a springboard rendering him unconscious. Jacinth sweatdropped and yanked Shade to her feet before turning tail and diving over the couch. Shade threw up a shield of ice. Midnite latched onto the ice with her claws and flipped over it. Shade blocked Midnite's fist with an arm covered in ice. Midnite hissed and rubbed her hand. She charged at Shade. They both ended up in a stale mate, arms crossed in front of them, powers colliding, each trying to push the other back. Jacinth looked on as the puddle of water forged by heat and ice colliding got bigger. He nearly jumped out of his skin when the doorbell rang. " Jacinth, get the door! " Shade yelled as she struggled against Midnite. Jacinth ran to get the door. He turned the knob and barely had time to jump out of the way as the door was shoved open. Jacinth studied the new comer. He was a black hedgehog with big wings and two tails. Both tails were whip-like with a deadly red blade on the end. There were also red blades on his elbows. His ears were red and his eyes, solid red with cat-like black pupils were looking right at Jacinth. From what the new comer saw this strange hedgehog in front of him was older then he is. The other hedgehog was gray with black ears and streaks up the topsides of his spikes. He thought this was weird as his red streaks ran along the undersides of his spikes. The other hedgehog also had a strange white mark on his chest. His eyes caught attention because they were blue where most eyes were white, with white irises and normal black pupils. The two of them kept staring at each other, Jacinth keeping a close eye on those tails. A piece of ice hit the black winged hedgehog causing him to glance in Shade and Midnite's direction. He sweatdropped and pushed them apart. They were both panting slightly. " Hi ShadowBlade. What's up? " " I think I should be asking you that question. There's some new hedgehog in here, Midnite's apparently trying to kill you. " He continued as he and Shade dodged various heat attacks from Midnite. " And, Yami is apparently sleeping through all this." Shade laughed as she continued dodging attacks. " Midnite knocked him out. She took a flying leap off his head. " "I see. Be nice purple hobbit. " ShadowBlade teased drawing Midnite's attention away from Shade. After he'd led Midnite away from Shade a safe distance He took to the air and got behind Midnite. He picked her up pinning her arms to her sides. Soon you could see heat shimmers around them both. " Midnite I'm not letting go. I am a master of fire. Does that ring any bells? " Midnite growled at ShadowBlade and tried to bite him. Shade decided she'd had enough and launched an extra cold breeze in their direction. " If you two don't knock it off you'll catch my house on fire! " " Okay, what I want to know is, WHO is THAT? " " He's My adopted brother Jacinth. He just came to hang out for a while. " " Oh, okay then. Midnite why are you after Shade? " " I'm in a bad mood. Don't ask. " Shade sighed. " Jacinth, I put the food in the kitchen so it wouldn't get knocked over. Just reheat it. " Jacinth nodded and headed for the kitchen. ShadowBlade half threw, half dropped Midnite on the couch. Her fur was still standing straight out and she crossed her arms and growled. Shade tilted her head to the side then walked over to her c.d. player and looked through about four cases before finding what she was looking for. She put the c.d. in and hit play. Midnite Layed her ears down against her head and tryed to ignore everybody. That was difficult to do. The first song that came on was "I'm not in Love" . Then ShadowBlade drug Yami to the front of the couch where Midnite sat and shoved Yami under it. Her ears perked up a little after watching that and hearing the song. After the next song Shade walked over to Midnite and pulled her off the couch. " Shade-" " C'mon M.C. " " I don't wanna- . . . HEY MAMA!!! I LOVE THE BLACK EYED PEAS!!!! " Shade grinned and started dancing. ShadowBlade rubbed his ears. " Ow. . ." The girls danced to the whole song, then Shade hit the repeat button and tried to get ShadowBlade to dance. He turned red as he tried to tell her that he does NOT dance. Jacinth came out of the kitchen and pumped a fist up in the air. " YEAH! It's the Black Eyed Peas! " Jacinth yelled turning the volume up. " Yes Jacinth, we know. Shut up and dance. " The three of them danced for a while then Jacinth wandered over to ShadowBlade. " How Come you're not dancing? " " One, I don't dance. Two, I'm happy watching. " " Is that, you can't dance or, you're stubborn and won't dance. " ShadowBlade's ears twitched. Jacinth grinned and pulled him off the couch. " NO NO NNOO!!! " " Oh come on, it's not that hard. I'll show you. " ShadowBlade did really well and was grinning the whole time he was dancing. Since everybody was tired Shade turned the volume down and took Midnite upstairs with her.
