...::: Chapter 8 (part 2) The Rain of Light :::...

5:30 PM in the afternoon. The sky was a wash of blue and violet with the orange sun on the horizon.

The little group drove passed the wooded area, away from city limits, towards Shadow's mansion. Emily was driving, Sonic and Tails were in the back holding hands.

There was a little rumbling sound that came from nowhere.

Emily blushed in embarassment. "Heh, heh. I guess I'm a little hungry..."

Sonic looked down at his tummy too. "Yeah I am too...Shadow always have food in his fridge, lets raid his when we get to his mansion!"

Tails smiled with glee. "Yeah, I hope he can share...."

Sonic took out the glowing white needle. His cross necklace started to vibrate a little, but he disregarded it. The car parked on Shadow's circle driveway. Some people from other houses were on the porch, mostly wolf people, looking at the colorful sunset.

The gang all walked up Shadow's porch and rung the bell.

........:::::::::::::..............::::::::::::::::................:::::::::::::::::::.................:::::::::::::::::..............

Shadow rubbed red wine from his mouth. His fuzzy ears pirked up when a wave of bells came from the front door. He walked up to his large door, and opened it.

Shadow's look wasn't surprised nor inpressed. He looked at the group in silence.

"What the hell do you want?", he asked "nicely"

Emily swallowed. She was still scared of her boss. "Well! We would be happy if you could let us in before we freeze to death!"

Shadow grunted and steped aside. He let Emily in first, then Tails afterwards, but his arm blocked Sonic entrance. The blue hedgehog stopped at Shadow's arm, and looked at him.

"Aren't you gonna let me in?"

Shadow smirked at Sonic. He stepped outside with Sonic. He turned around to check on the other two. They were in the kitchen away from them. Shadow closed the door behind him and took Sonic's hand to lead him to his side house bench swing.

The suspending bench was large enough to hold up to four people. It included a top for hot days. The two hedgehogs sat together on the bench and looked at the horizon of the sunset.

Sonic was clueless of why Shadow didn't let him in and dragged him to the side of the house.

"Umm...Shadow? What are we doing here outside?"

Shadow looked at him with actual kindness. "Well now, we can't be alone for once? We tried one time and that got screwed up with some stupid dark spirit."

Sonic was obiously missing something. Shadow reached for Sonic's hand and held it tight like couples do.

Sonic finally remembered that Shadow and he were going out. Sonic looked at the ground in surprise.

Sonic's thoughts:
'How could I forget that I was going out with somebody else?! I can't break up with him now. He just got out of a possession. Oh God...And what about Tails? Aww Man!'

Shadow lifted Sonic's head. Sonic looked at Shadow.

"Why were you looking at the ground?", Shadow asked.

"Oh...I just thought I saw something..."

Shadow shrugged. He smiled and kissed Sonic's neck softly. Sonic quickly blushed red, and scooted back from Shadow. The dark hedgehog looked at Sonic and smirked.

"Oh I see.....", Shadow said softly, " You wanna get a little kinky while we're alone huh?"

Before Sonic could say anything, Shadow pinned Sonic down by the shoulders. Sonic gridded his teeth.

Shadow leaned in and kissed Sonic on the lips. Sonic closed his eyes to try to resist him. Shadow deepened the kiss. He slipped his tounge into Sonic mouth, licking Sonic's tounge.

Sonic was blushing red and was getting weak from his passionous kiss, til he finally gave in. Shadow lifted his head from Sonic and smiled him.

"I would do you right now, but my balls are freezing...", he whispered, "Lets do this in my room after you beat Snog. We'll be all alone together."

Shadow got up from Sonic and walked to the front of the mansion. Sonic was still sitting there. A tear came from his eyes.

"Oh my god...What am I gonna do? Now both of them want to have sex with me? I-I gotta tell the truth...I-It's better to tell them now than later...."

Sonic got up from the wobbling bench, shivering, not because of the cold, but his fear.

........:::::::::::::..............::::::::::::::::................:::::::::::::::::::.................:::::::::::::::::..............

Emily and Tails was scarfing down food that you wouldn't find in a regular grocery store. They are gormet foods from Shadow's fridge. Shadow was sipping the rest of his red wine calmly.
Sonic walked into the kitchen quietly. Tails looked up at Sonic.

"Hey Sonic, want some of this gormet chicken? It's really good!", Tails chewed.

"yeah!", Emily added while stuffing her face.

Sonic shook his head and looked at everyone.

"Tails...I-I have to tell you something, you two Shadow"
, Sonic said out loud.

Tails and Shadow looked at Sonic. Emily was still stuffing her face so she didn't.

Sonic walked to Tails and held up Tails' hands along with his. "Please Tails...This isn't easy to tell you this...Your a wonderful person, you make me smile, and I love you..."

Shadow narrowed his eyes at Sonic in anger.

"B-But...I...I'm with Shadow. We were going out before Snog attacked him. When he acted mean to me, I had be with someone else, and when I met you...you were so cute and adorable...I fell for you...you took care of me when I needed caring...This is so hard to do because part of me wants you to be happy...and..." Sonic turned his head away from Tails's sight. Tails looked at the floor without any emotion in his face.

Shadow slammed his wine glass down in anger." YOU CHEATED ON ME?!"

"YOU WERE POSSESSED! WHAT THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO!? You were being abusive to me!! You even raped me!"

"Sonic. That wasn't me! That was Snog! If you were my boyfriend you wouldn't cheat on me because of anything!"

Sonic turned away from Tails, letting go of his hands. "If you were MY boyfriend, you wouldn't have gotten yourself possessed by some dumb spirit!

"or cheat on you..." Tails's voice whispered.

Sonic and Shadow turned to Tails, whom was facing the floor. He lifted his head up.

"Sonic...You need to break up with me because....I went behind your back..."

Sonic tilted his head in confusion. "W-What?...."

Tails backed up from Sonic. "Yes that's right. I did it with Shadow when I was supposed to get the sperm from Shadow."

Sonic covered his mouth, and tears flowed out. He turned to Shadow who was standing against the wall with his arms folded, and was staring at Sonic with no emotion.

"OH MY GOD! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME!", Sonic shouted to Shadow.

Shadow just stood there and looked away from Sonic in silence. Sonic's eyes were soom red and sore with tears he has wailed on so much these past few days

"STOP!"

Tails, Shadow, even the crying blue hedgehog turned a little. Emily stood there in a straight look. "Don't you see what Snog has done? He has fulfilled his duty in breaking hearts....our hearts....from each other...."

Emily walked in the center of them. "We must not get mad at each other for what we have not goten out of others, but we must forgive our selves."

Sonic, Tails, and Shadow exchanged looks, then looked back at Emily.

Shadow scratched his head. "I-....I-...I'm.....sorry.....for what I have caused.....There I said it."

Sonic clapped his hands together in joy. "Oh...my...goodness! S-Shadow said sorry for the first time in his life!!! He said it to me!!! I'm so happy!!!"

Shadow shot his eyes at Sonic, and raised his sleeve. "DON'T MAKE ME HURT YOU."

Sonic covered his smile and hid behind Tails.

"Sonic....", Miles said.

Sonic looked at Miles. "Please forgive me for what I did....I feel like shit now...."

Sonic walked around Tails to his front. He held Tails's hands. "Miles...I forgive you. I'm thankful that you came up to me and confessed."

Sonic hugged Tails tightly and kissed him on his neck lightly.

Emily smiled and folded her arms. "See. Isn't this better?"

The group looked at each other with nothing to hid form each other.

~DONG!~ ~DONG!~ ~DONG!~ ~DONG!~ ~DONG!~

The clock rang 9:00PM sharp.

...............::::::::::::::::::::::..................:::::::::::::::::::::::...................:::::::::::::::::::::::::...................::::::::::::::::::............

The group ran outside to the porch. There was rumbbling like an earthquake but it wasn't. Other farmers and locals stepped out on their porches to see what was the noise.

The rumbbling was comming from the road. The trees shook, and the cows tipped over. A black ink-ish blot ran down the road. The black ink-ish figure was none other than Snog.

The group ran out to the center of the lawn and watched Snog swoop towards up to the group. Snog flew up 10 meters away from them. Snog smiled evily in the dark blue moonlight.

"So....which one of you is gonna stop me?"

Emily jumped out from the back of the group and raised both of her hands. A sudden concentration of blue aroma started to glow in the air and slammed Snog down to the ground.

"Ngh...heh. So your ancectors must have banished me. To bad they wern't strong enough to destroy me!"

Snog clenched both of it's fists and blasted the blue aroma off him and sent the group flying into the air.

Shadow managed to land of his feet and ran towards Snog. He pinned Snog down and tried to bite him with his fangs.
Snog dodged every bite. "You think you can return your vampire traits to me by biting me? You got another thing commin'!" Snog clenched his right fist and small thorns popped out of his knuckles. He punched Shadow in the stomach, hard. Shadow pupils shrunk, and coughed blood. Shadow's shirt slowly oozed dark red blood. Snog shoved Shadow off him, and levitated up to a stand. He turned to look at Shadow curled up.

Snog laughed. "Look at you. Your weaker than I thought. It was so easy to tear your friends and the people you love apart. And it's goona be better because the so called "big company" is gonna get into some big bankrupt problems."

Emily gasped. "Your gonna bankrupt the company?!"

Snog turned to her. "Hell yeah. I'm ruining this stud's life, and now all of your's and all 700 people's jobs and stock markets sales are going to be in the sewers, and it's all gonna be Shadow's fault and there's nothing you can do about iiiiiiittttttttt AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

A golden needle stuck out of Snog's chest. The needle started to turn red like Snog's eyes.

"Ah...eurgh...." Snog fell to the ground, shivering, and still squeeling in pain. A blue hedgehog was behind Snog as it fell. Sonic standing there with tears of anger in his eyes.

Tails looked up at Sonic. He and Emily were about 15 meters away from the scene. The farm folks were still on their porch, seeing everything.

Snog looked up from his pain and looked up at Sonic.

"You...you...son of..."

Sonic snarled. " Go back to your Hell hole...."

Snog started to fade away. "You earthlings got lucky...", then with one last breath he laughed evily like he got the last laugh. And then his whole body just faded away into pure nothing.

Tails ran to Sonic. "Sonic!....Sonic!" He turned to Tails and held his arms out. They locked hugs. Tails had a tear in his eyes. "Don't ever do that again...", he said. Sonic smiled.

"Uhh...hey I'm bleeding! Coughing blood out of my mouth! Not normal!", Shadow shouted out in his typical anger.

Emily rushed to Shadow and lifted him to his feet. "You okay?"

Shadow narrowed his eyes at Emily with annoyance. A sweat drop went down her head. "Oh yeah...the bleeding thing..."

"Hey. Ya'll need a ride to the hospital?", a voice said.

The group turned to a big group of the farmers and people who lived out in the hills. There were a mixture of wolves to foxes to crows; most of them had cigars in their mouths. The one who was speaking was the old short wolf woman that Shadow waved at earlier.

"I called an abulance. Is it true that that shadowy thing was possessing you?"

Shadow nodded. The old wolf woman hmm'd at him. "Well we should be thanking you. All of you cause we were losing cattle cause of that thang. So we thank ya'll for stopping that a cursive spirit."

There were many thank you's comming from the croud of farmers and folk. Emily smiled.

There was a sudden howl of noise comming from the trees. The ambulance was speeding up toward the croud of people.

The ambulance people got out and got Shadow into the abluance and headed down the dirt road, along with the group in Emily's car following it.

10:20 PM and the moon was shinning in the blue night as the next day awaits.
