"Yasha!" Shadow shouted as he slammed open the door to their hideout abd he walked in.

"Well looks like you came to me," Yasha said from behind, "as I knew you would."

Shadow turned around and he faced him, "Yasha, you were right. My father did kill your father, but only because your father tried to kill me. All this time this has been nothing but a big circle of revenge! It's got to end!" Shadow shouted and held out a gun. "and it will with me."

"Oh you think your some tough shit now don't you!" he said with a smirk.

Shadow didn't respond he just held the gun.

"You can't kill me," Yasha said and started to walk towards him, "you never even held a gun before."

Shadow placed his finger on the trigger and pulled it, the bullet missing Yasha by less then an inch. Yasha smirked.

"you have guts," he said, "of course, you are his son."

"Shut up!" Shadow shouted.

"You look just like your father!" he continued as he walked closer to Shadow, Shadow backed away slowly, "did you know you have a brother?"

Shadow nodded, "yeah I knew."

"Did you know he that he was a leader here as well?"

Shadow gasped, "dark…"

Yasha laughed, "you can't trust anyone!"

"You're wrong!" Shadow said and Yasha growled, "I do trust someone and he trusts me! He's the one I love!"

Yasha flinched, "what? Now you're in love with him?!"

"I am."

Yasha chuckled evilly, "wow! That's interesting!" Yasha kicked the gun out of his hands and he ran up to Shadow, kicking him in his stomach.

Shadow fell to the ground, but quickly forced himself to stand, 'fuck!' he thought. He ran up to Yasha and began to throw a punch, but the sound of gunfire echoed the room. He gasped when Yasha's blood flew all over his body, 'who…' he thought and slowly looked up, "So…Sonic?"

Sonic lowered the gun and he nodded, "I figured as much."

Tears formed in Shadow's eyes and he ran up to Sonic, jumping into his arms, "I'm sorry!" he wept, "I had to do it!"

"I know," Sonic soothed and hugged him tightly, "it's over, shads."

"No," he said, "there's still one thing I have left to do."

Shadow stood up and he pulled out the lighter from Yasha's pocket. Lit it and dropped it on the body. He turned to face Sonic, "all evidence is gone. Yasha is gone and the cycle of revenge has ended."

Sonic walked up to Shadow and he put a hand to his shoulder, "it's done. You can return and live normally now."

"Can I live a normal life with you?" Shadow asked and Sonic nodded with a warm smile.

"Live with me as long as you wish."

Shadow smiled, "forever."

"Come on, lets go," Sonic said and Shadow nodded and he followed Sonic out. He stopped in his tracks and he looked back into the burning building.
