Disclaimer: Kill them....kill them all. Oh, and I don't own Sonic and Co.
Chances are the buncha people who do are sitting on their fat butts
somewhere laughing at me.
Okay, when you get threatened, you just know it's time to update. So here's a really (and I mean REALLY) short chapter. Next one'll be longer cause well...it's the last. Then the epilogue, if we want that in. ^-^
Here you go.

"SONIKKU!"
The limp form slipped away from his neck and into his arms easily, almost like a rag doll. Shadow shook the blue form's shoulders and green eyes opened just barely to stare blankly up at him. He smiled and hugged the hero to himself, relieved tears welling up in his eyes.
It didn't last long.
Though there were no marks on Sonic's body, Shadow knew, he just knew, that something was terribly, fatally wrong with the hedgehog in his arms. Sonic weakly placing a hand on the black doppleganger's cheek confirmed his suspicion. Shadow felt himself choking on a sob.
"Shadow? Daijoubu ka?" Sonic blinked heavily, as though trying to push away sleep from his emerald eyes.
"Sonikku..." Shadow felt tears spill over onto his cheeks, and felt as though his heart was being shredded into bits. "Sonikku...why...?"
Sonic laughed, but it came out as an almost silent hiss. "Why...do you think?"
Shadow stared, watching Sonic's calm face. He didn't seem bothered at all! Just so accepting. Sonic's eyes closed slowly...
"Sonikku--!" Shadow was quelled when a finger was laid on his lips.
"Shh..." Sonic murmured, watching him though tired slits. "Onegai, Shadow..." He reached up and brushed one of the tears away. "...no more crying...." He settled back into Shadow's arms and leaned his head against his koi's chest with a small sigh. "It just doesn't suit you..."
Then he went still.
"Sonikku? ...SONIKKU!!" Shadow held the hedgehog tighter, refusing to believe that the shell in his hands was Sonic; refusing to accept that Sonic might really be gone...
'Please be okay! You can't...you can't just go! You can't!!' He clutched the lifeless form to himself, unable to grasp the frail strands of meaning that were quickly fleeing him. 'I can't lose you too...'
"Sonikku...."
She watched, confused. Of course she couldn't really comprehend true love. Not in this form. Lust she knew, she could understand. But something so pure and selfless was beyond her appreciation. So automatically, she rejected it.
"That was stupid..." She decided out loud. Shadow turned and glared at her, but she didn't stop there.
"How could he have just given up his life like that?!" She looked on Sonic's prosaic form with disgust. "He just threw it away!"
Shadow had never felt rage until now. He had been angry, yes. He had been upset, but this, this was something that had never come before.
"Now you've pissed me off..."
Everything flared up at once.
The world erupted in a blaze of silver and golden flames, burning ten times as hot as any normal fire. He was surrounded by it, yet not a hair on his or Sonic's body was touched. She however, shrieked, and tried to back away from him, only to find she was circled.
"You killed him..." His eyes burned brightly, fiery red, devoid of pupils, and shining with his fury. His arms went up, palms outstretched.
"That...I will never forgive."
A massive sphere of energy appeared, and he reared back his hands.
"Take this you BITCH!"
She was engulfed in the light.
***
Shadow fell back exhausted. The world around him seemed hazy and strange, but familiar. He reached out and gripped Sonic's cold hand in his shredded glove, the one that had been stained in the hero's blood from trying to stop the flow.
'A lot of good that did...'
He stared out at the world with his quickly clouding eyes.
'Don't worry Sonic...I'll be there soon...'
Still, as he lost consciousness, Shadow could've sworn he heard a voice calling him...
