{At school, 3:00}

Shadow was in the principle's office, and Tikal was on the floor, tied up, bloodied. Shadow smirked, and he grabbed the intercom, turning it on.

"Everyone in this cruddy school, lend your ears."

Everyone noticed the voice.

"Rouge the Bat, the one you fools have but sympathy for, has a big secret she's been hiding." Shadow explained. "I was the only one she told, and now, I will generously give it to you."

Shadow smirked, more evilly than ever. A strange silence went around the school.

"Hmph. You think Rouge is little Miss Perfect and sweet because I tap her a little and she acts like a drama queen and acts hurt, but things aren't as black and white as they seem.", Shadow ridiculed," You're all fools for that, and recently Rouge has cheated on me. None of you have sympathy for me, do you? I am perfect, and I don't know why she would cheat on me."

Shadow heard some people screaming "Ignorant punk!" and "Stupid pig!".

Shadow also heard footsteps running on their way to stop Shadow.

"Now, Rouge the Bat has a secret that she's been hiding for a long time." Shadow explained.

Shadow grinned one more time and got ready to tell everyone. As mad as they were at Shadow, many people have been curious of why Rouge stayed with Shadow and heard rumors of blackmail.

"Rouge the Bat …" Shadow began

"Rouge the Bat!" screamed Rouge's mother.

"What?" Rouge jumped from a nap she was taking.

"Rouge, we were having a conversation and you just started drifting off. Also, it's time for you to go to work." Rouge's mother said.

"Mom, stop it. You know I haven't found any jobs willing to take me."

It was a cold, dark night in an eerie alleyway. There was a door that led to a private room of a store. The door was locked by Rouge and her mother, who lived there in filthiness and broke. They had no money. None. Rouge went to a beat down school on welfare. She pretended she had no parents. Deliveries of food and money came into the store on hours the storeowner left, which is when they'd unlock the door and grab it. That was the same way they survived on food. Rouge's mom and Rouge had been visited by Rouge's father, who stole everything in their little apartment including all of the money. All of it. They were kicked out when they couldn't pay the bills, and Rouge's mom was fired from her job. She slacked due to depression and stress from the robbery of her own husband, who had left to fight in the war. So, here they were. One day, she met Shadow at the old school, and they liked each other. Shadow was cocky and arrogant but had a soft side for Rouge. The night of their first date was magical to Rouge, and they became an official couple. Weeks later, Rouge woke up in the morning knowing she would see Shadow, so she was happy. She went on her way to the shower in the old room. She didn't know why there were showers in an old storage room, but she didn't care enough to find out, and assumed this was once a house. When she was in front of the shower room, a purple haired fox barged in with a bunch of boxes. Rouge jumped, wondering why he had come in when nobody had been coming in months since people barely came. Nonetheless, he saw her, and looked across the room to her surprised mother .

"Dirty street rats!" he yelled, and grabbed a baseball bat from the floor and walked toward them.. Rouge and her mother tried to run, but when they began to open the door lock, he grabbed them both and threw them down. "You're dirty, but you are beautiful young ladies. I can make use of you before I finish you. He creepily reached down and reached for their clothing. Rouge screamed, crying like her mother was. They screamed for help, but no one came. He pulled off Rouge's top, leaving her in her bra and pants, and began. Rouge's mom got up and ran to the phone, but the man ran over and kicked the phone down, grabbed Rouge's mother, and groped her. He squeezed her breasts as Rouge cried out again for help.

"NICE AND ROUND, JUST HOW I LIKE 'EM!" the deranged fox exclaimed.

"AAHHH!" Rouge's mother screamed, blushing from the feeling.

Then, the door busted down and someone struck the man on the back of the head.

It was none other than Shadow. After that, he nonchalantly walked away trying to look tough and Rouge yelled thank you. Rouge's mom was on the floor trying to get up and hitting the fox, who was unconscious. A day passed, and Rouge and her mom were found out again and the man who found them was angry, but after hearing about the fox, he just kicked them out and threw them on the street. Now there was nothing else. All that was left was a snack in Rouge's jacket, and they waited hours before eating it. They sat there and found a cardboard box to sit under on the cold night.

"Oh no. I'm becoming a stereotyped hobo" Rouge tried to lighten the mood with a joke, which didn't work.

Rouge's mother was crying. She hadn't taken the joke seriously, because Rouge barely saw dried tears that were obviously there already. Rouge's stomach growled and she felt dirt all over her tattered jacket. "I'm sorry Rouge…" Rouge's mother managed to get out of her mouth before breaking into uncontrollable sobs.

"It's not your fault mom. We didn't know that someone so close would rob us to help out his stupid war buddies." Rouge said, tears forming in her eyes. Rouge then wiped the tears away and decided that she had to be strong for her mother.

Hours passed at nighttime. People would come by and kick the cardboard box furiously and laugh. Rouge was fuming with anger, but after it happened, the people would run away.

Rouge closed her eyes sadly, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Rouge's eyes fluttered open as slight sunlight came in through the holes of the box. Rouge felt like an animal. She had no home, no money, no friends(not counting her mom),no happiness. Rouge got up and dusted off her dirty jacket. Rouge found that they were in a dark alley in their own boxes, so Rouge had more space. Rouge knew it had to be her mom who did it. Rouge walked around, walking by the park, snatching hot dogs when no one looked, but usually ony two. Rouge felt so guilty, but it was the only thing to do. Sometimes she was caught and chased, but Rouge could barely fly away, considering the fact that her wings were worn out and tired now. Rouge couldn't take this any longer. The random beatings they'd get on the streets, stealing,, being dirty and living in cardboard boxes, and even people trying to sexually abuse them sometimes. She couldn't take it. Moreover, she could see her mom breaking, and she couldn't stand it. She couldn't even think straight.

"Mom, I'm going out" Rouge said.

Rouge ran into a clothing store. She needed new clothes. She needed some.

Rouge ran up to the store manager and screamed," SOMEONE OUTSIDE IS BEING BEATEN DOWN, HE'S ABOUT TO BE KILLED, PLEASE HELP!"

The store manager ran out to stop the fight that he thought was going on. Many employees followed.

Rouge took this opportunity and saw a tight outfit with a heart shaped design that goes over her chest and high boots. She couldn't believe she was wearing such an inappropriate outfit. Rouge then ran out of the back door with her old clothes in her hand. It was night, and she ran all the way to a building with some scissors. She cut the legs off so it looked nearly like a swimsuit. She looked like some kind of hooker. She looked at herself on a broken piece of glass.

"I don't even know why I'm doing this… I just…I feel like I should wear these. Maybe then someone will give me money because they think I'm beautiful, like in those movies I used to see on our old TV… Or maybe Shadow will think I'm sexy and he'll love me even more…then he'll give me money like a good boyfriend… but he's so arrogant…I guess I'd better stop watching those stupid movies." Rouge said.

Rouge saw a man with a suitcase who was eying her, and she covered herself up with her hands.

" Don't cover up." The man grinned.

Rouge blushed as the man touched her arm and she started to get scared. He was a handsome black furred bat in a business suit and a fedora matching it. He looked like some kind of hitman at first sight.

"Hey…. You're a beautiful young woman. You shouldn't be here with tears in your eyes…" the man said reaching for his suitcase.

"Oh my goodness! It's actually working! I'm getting money just by … looking like this…" Rouge got down on the last part as her physical appearance began to shred away her dignity. But once it was over, she could buy real clothes and go back to school and her and her mom could live happily ever after, and it was about to be handed to her.

The man pulled out 9,000 mobians! She couldn't believe this. It's not fair for people who don't need it to have that much money! She had starry eyes as the man started to hand it to her.

"Now my end of the bargain, first." He said as he began to touch Rouge's butt. Rouge blushed frightened and then jumped against a wall

"What are you doing?" she exclaimed, jumping away from the man.

"Come on , don't play dumb. You know how it goes. It will only take about an hour, then you can have 1,000 mobians!" He pulled her closer to him and then backed her against the wall and began kissing her neck

Rouge pushed him away and screamed no. He then grinned.

"I've seen you before, sitting around and then inside a cardboard box. You obviously took these clothes, which I can turn you in for, and you obviously need money, now it won't take long." The man explained.

Rouge's tears swelled in her eyes as the man continued to kiss her neck, and rub her body in uncomfortable ways, and her got red every time he touched her in embarrassing places. He began to get rougher and led her to a warehouse that he said belonged to him. He continued where he left off and caressed Rouge more, while Rouge had tears running down her cheeks.

"I have to do this" Rouge thought extremely sadly.

"You're so beautiful, this will be worthwhile, then maybe you can live better than you are on the streets being kicked around… don't you think?" he whispered in her ear, which only made her cry more.

Rouge cried harder as the man began to take the heart accessory off of her chest, but she felt like it was her real heart being ripped out as she killed off her dignity and pride, and gave into dirty, indecent actions for money, and it felt as if she had sold her soul to the devil…

Rouge ran the streets, and ran into Shadow, who was walking at night. She cried even more as Shadow held her.

"What's wrong?" Shadow asked.

Rouge just cried even more violently, as she began to let it out of her mouth.

"I've been living as some kind of female hobo for weeks, and weeks. Me and my mom are kicked around and treated like DIRT, and we live in CARDBOARD BOXES. Yeah, you fell in love with some dirty fool." Rouge cried.

" No, I fell in love with you. " Shadow said, looking Rouge in the eye. For a minute, Rouge lost herself to his eyes, and then flashbacks of what she had done came to mind

"NO, you can't love me…." Rouge said. "I'm a big fat dirty hooker! I don't deserve your love!"

Shadow looked puzzled for a minute, then noticed what she was wearing and how she had a short limp. Rouge noticed him noticing.

"Rouge… you didn't… " Shadow began.

"I did…" She cried violently and threw herself to the ground.

Shadow grabbed her and held her, and nothing else was said. They just stood there and held eachother in tears. Rouge faintly heard the words "You're mine"

The next morning, Rouge went to the cardboard boxes and told her mom to get up. Rouge happily lead her mother somewhere that her mother didn't know. They soon arrived at an average sized house on a hill. The porch was beat down in some spots, but it was fine. Rouge rung the doorbell and Shadow answered. Rouge's mom was confused and remembered his face from the time at the store, then thanked him again. Shadow just signaled them to follow him and showed them to two rooms in the house.

"All yours" Shadow said, smirking.

Rouge and her mother had tears welling in their eyes and Rouge jumped at Shadow and embraced him. Shadow could barely breath, but it was a good kind of suffocation…

Rouge lived happily in Shadow's house, with his stern father and his understanding mother. Rouge and Shadow used the money Rouge had.."earned"..to enroll them in a nice school, and Chaos Emerald Junior High School, and the rest was used for bills. Rouge happily used the money. Then, one day, while they were only sophomores, the same man from months back appeared. He started flirting with Rouge when she was alone, and shoves her against a wall.

"Stop it!" Rouge yelled, failing to shove the man away.

"You said the same thing a last time, but you came around." the man said, flashing 2,000 mobians. Rouge began to let tears well up, and she began to scream, muffled by a kiss from the man, as he led her to a private spot in the woods.

"Why… why… I keep doing this every month to help Shadow pay the bills to prove my worth… and it feels even worse every time." Rouge thought.

Shadow ran in the woods, looking for Rouge, only to see her beginning to take off her clothing as the man held the money out, as if taunting her. Shadow was angry, and now knew how Rouge had kept being able to pay the bill. She told him she had a job… but this…no…

He ran and slugged the man in the face, and jerked his head to rouge, walking toward her. Rouge stood there crying, trying to explain that she was sorry. Shadow walked closer… and closer… and then just stormed past her, furious. Then, in an instant, Rouge felt a force hit her in her back, and she hit the ground. Turning over, nearly unconscious, she saw that face full of fury. Shadow simply looked at her and said "I forgive you… because you ARE mine…". But this wasn't the usual Shadow, in a loving sense, and a sad grin, feeling sorry and wanting to make her feel better, the look that encouraged her that everything would be alright. It was not the Shadow she knew, but could she blamed him? She sold her body for money. As her vision faded, she realized what she felt coming from Shadow. It was an evil, yet furious accent. Ownership. He had ownership over her now… and she was his.

The school was in shock as they heard what he said, wondering if they heard correctly.

"That's right. She's the one who sold her own body for money, and for that I can never forgive her. I had to make sure that… she would always be, and would stay…

Mine…" Shadow's voice echoed through the school, as he told the school of Rouge's past in one sentence… no… one word explained everything.
