Chapter 11 (Yep...couldn't think of a better title)
Warning: Some languageand a lot of romance/fluff

(Both the authoress' hands cramp) "CHROIST!"

Just don't flame me if this goes a bit past the rating (which I definitely hope it doesn't) or the romance becomes horribly clichéd and MarySue-ish (shudders)

Shadow: (in Sonic's body.) It will go up once we get our hands on you…

Sonic: (in Shadow's body.) …because it will hurt…

OO; Eh…uhm…and I'm going to run screaming now… (Runs from the two hedgehogs) Luckily for me, Sonic doesn't know how to work air shoes!

(Shadow and Sonic crash into each other) AACK! OUCH!

Told ya… anyway, thanks for the reviews so far and enjoy!


3rd Person PoV

It was possibly around eleven at night when Shadow began stirring. Eevee took this, and that it needed a drink of water, as a sign to leave the room and opened the door just slightly before slinking out. The black and red hedgehog opened his eyes just slightly, making out Mona's face in the darkness.

A small smile crept onto his features before he gave her a small kiss and got up, careful enough not to wake her. Shadow picked up both his gloves and shoes before heading downstairs.

Betterhope her parentsdidn't see us together...at least she'ssafe from my nightmare.Shadow thought, making his way to the TV room. Shadow's ears were met with a loud snore after he accidentally dropped one of his shoes and it tumbled down the stairs before smacking into a wall in front of it. SHIT! Allowing his eyes to focus to the darkness, Shadow recognized the father sprawled on the couch, still asleep.

"You're damn lucky Shadow…" Shadow muttered to himself before creeping downstairs and reaching the footwear that was immediately covered by the other shoe and gloves. "Damn lucky…"

No sooner had Shadow walked back upstairs to the top floor he let out a sigh before looking into Mona's room. The hedgehog invited himself in, closing the door behind his back before crawling under the sheets.

Mona immediately shuffled towards him, feeling the warmth of his fur, before putting her arms around his torso. Shadow felt a tickling sensation as she rested her head on his chest fur. He twitched and tried to ignore the fact she had found his soft spot, which she was breathing on. That was his only weak point.

'Damn it…not the fur…God I hate it when people touch me there!' He grimaced and adjusted his position so he was now face to face with Mona. Just the realization that their faces were only a millimeter away had the control over his actions begin to drift in and out and a small grin formed on his features. No Shadow! Don't get THAT CLOSE!

Shadow's eyes started closing as he came in closer, he could feel her breath coming in slow repetitive wisps of air.

No-NO-NO! Shadow's conscious shrieked as he felt his lips brushing against hers. She's going to maul you if you do that!

'Oh shut up…' Shadow mentally snapped before kissing her. This time it had planted itself on her lips, not cautiously though. Mona's eyes opened slightly as Shadow pulled back, not startled by this reaction.

Well, now that she's awake…

'Oh now my conscience agrees with me!'

Don't even start…

"Shadow, what-what time is it?" Mona groaned, getting herself into a sitting position.

"About twelve…your dad stole the couch so I had to come here…" Shadow grinned, moving back so the girl had enough space. Fortunately it was dark so Mona couldn't see how much he was grinning. (I saw a picture of Shadow grinning once…not pretty…)

"…so you could try to pull a sleeping beauty on me?" Mona asked, realizing how mischievous he looked.

"Well, you're not exactly what people would call a beauty…" Shadow said teasingly. The human shot Shadow a dark look after her eyes got used to the darkness of the room.

"Not funny." Mona said as if to say it wasn't going to make her chuckle or laugh.

"But I did pull it off…" Shadow continued smiling. That old evil look in his eye again."You were the one who started it in the first place…"

"No I didn't…" Mona frowned.

"Then explain why you had your arms around me." He smirked before sideglancing. "And WHY your hand is still on mine…"

Mona looked down to see that Shadow was right for once. It wasn't just Shadow's hand, it didn't have a glove over it, and she was actually resting her bare hand on his! Trying to control the blood rushing to her cheeks, she tried to move her hand away.

Tried…only to have his bare hand grab her wrist and pull her close.

"Want to see how I pulled it off?" Shadow taunted, his free arm drawing her in until her front was barely touching his chest fur.

"Eh…c-can't this wait?" Mona stuttered. Maybe if I can reach my sword...I could pry him off… She found that idea futile since Shadow had seen her glance and kicked the sword out of reach. "…aw shit…" Mona's eyes narrowed once she found herself looking deeper into the crimson eyes.

"Hard to believe I actually had the nerve to kiss a sleeping potty mouth…" Shadow smirked, slightly trying to goad her to get closer.

"Hard to believe a prototype like you even had the-" Mona's eyes widened once she realized he had planted a deeper kiss on her lips, resulting in a startled squeak and the blush getting deeper as Shadow's hand made small yet delicate circles on her back. She twitched from the surprise of hearing a purring noise from the back of his throat and tried to pull away only to end up falling onto the bed. Her voice ended up as a mouse-like squeak when she found it. "-nerve?"

Shadow pulled her back into his embrace. Seeing her blushing had a chuckle escape him.

"I pulled it off just like that…and don't call me a prototype, I feel like that lizard…" He replied, one of his hands going through her brown hair as he held her with the other.

"Fine…I won't…" She replied.

Although Mona found this hard to admit, she wanted him to continue. Just his touch had her pulse race faster……but she didn't want to tell him that.

'You're enjoying this aren't you?' Shadow smirked, reading her mind. Mona suddenly had caught herself resting her head on his chest.

What--ME! No-no! I just got caught in the moment! Mona shivered as a grin of embarrassment crossed her features.

'So you don't like it…' The hedgehog sighed, letting her slip out of his grasp and turned so his back was facing her. 'I should've guessed…'

I didn't say it like that! Mona backtracked, not noticing Shadow's grin as he figured she'd fall for that guilt trip. You just caught me off guard when you…

Wait a sec… Mona paused to herself. I'm not going to fall for THAT trick… time for some tricks of my own…

Shadow smirked and unconsciously ran his tongue along his top lip, savoring the taste he had recently enjoyed as the human embraced him from behind, letting her brown hair rest on his shoulder. Shadow had it planned out and was about to turn around only to find that Mona had him first, suddenly catching HIM off guard with her own kiss as she maneuvered herself to his front, both her arms around him.

"What the fu-URGHPFF!" Shadow managed to gasp out, his ear twitching as it felt her hand rubbing against it. Of course he didn't expect her to figure his littleschemeout.'DAMN SHE'S QUICK!'

You didn't think I was going to fall for THAT, did you? Mona asked.

'You know…actually I did…' Shadow grumbled. 'I've got you either way… 'He separated before moving in, claiming her lips with his once again. Mona leaned in, not intending to be eager about it, as Shadow embraced her. The human unconsciously began to start messing with the white patch of fur on his chest causing him to twitch but settle down from the ear scratching and deepen the kiss.

'Okay…this doesn't feel all that bad…it's actually quite enjoyable…I could do this forever…' Shadow felt the rumbling purr noise come from the back of his throat once again, showing his content from the fact he was enjoying himself and his animal instinct taking control, although he was having partial control over his actions.

Inter-Species Dating! Shadow's conscience pointed out.

'Shut up…' Shadow grumbled.

W-who were you talking to Shadow? Mona asked, still with her fingertips playing with his right ear as her other arm draped around his shoulders.

'Ah…nobody…'The hedgehogreplied, breaking the kiss off for a moment of air before resuming, seemingly delighted at hearing a small response in the form of a hushed sigh signifying she was enjoying it as much as him.

One could sense the sudden chemical imbalance in the room before both human and hedgehog began teetering, lost their balance, and fell off the bed. This was unfortunate for Shadow's lust to continue his exploration (but the story must continue before it goes too far…).

THUD!

Well of course they were on the edge of the bed…

("Good way to end fluffy scenes…" is nailed by a random object "Hey! I was kidding!" KOed by flying shoe)

Shadow shook his head to clear his mind, he felt fuzzy all over as he remembered how close they were. If it weren't for that fall…

He looked towards Mona who had slowly gotten onto her feet. Still lightheaded she struggled to keep balance via using the wall as the support before slipping and her hand lost its traction. Swiftly, Shadow got to his feet and caught her, cradling the human in his arms.

"It's really late…" He sighed, stating the obvious, still feeling red on his face.

"Yes…I know…" She nodded, not helping the fact she enjoyed his embrace. Shadow got back into a sitting position on the bed, still holding her in his arms before he gently caressed the side of her face like he did before. "Shadow?"

"Yes Mona?"

"Do you mind holding me like this for a while longer?"

"No…I don't mind…" Shadow replied before giving her a light kiss before she got into a comfortable position, still holding onto him.

"Ashiteru…mai harinezumi…" She whispered before falling asleep in his arms. Shadow smiled as he continued stroking the side of her face with a free hand.

'Ashiteru Mona…' Shadow smiled, before getting into a lying down position and holding her in front of him. Enjoying the added warmth, the teenager scooted in closer to him until she sighed in content. "Jinmirai…" He whispered before closing his eyes and drifting off.

Eevee had returned from downstairs and stood in the doorway. Its beady black eyes scanned the room before it saw the two figures asleep. Curiously, it hopped onto the bed and paused, seeing how close the two were.

"Vee…" It smiled before moving towards its trainer and settled down in her arms. In reaction, Mona held onto the Pokemon and nuzzled it for a moment before settling down. Eevee sniffed and tilted its head before shaking it off and falling asleep as well.

The trio was being watched by the hybrid as he stood on the roof outside. A smile crept onto Hiro's features before he flew off in another direction.

"Cute…"


So...did I do good on this? I suppose you all know who's winning. Let's just say Hiro's not going to give up that easily. Okay, until next chapter!

Shadow: Read and R-(BLEEEP!). What th-(BLEEP!).
