and then italicized letters that means it's a flashback. bold and italicized letters are narrated parts.

VIO

I slowly opened my eyes smiling and reached an arm out for Shadow. My smile stopped when I felt nothing but ice cold blankets. I sat up and looked around, it seems he had left way earlier. Why would leave without telling me? Maybe he went to talk with Yami…that still doesn't explain why he left so early though. I'll have to ask the others if they've seen him. I then noticed another odd occurrence, my outfit was folded (not very neatly) on the end of the bed. Shadow never did that…what's going on?

~~~~~~(Shadow)~~~~~~~

"Hahaha! That really was fun!" A partially drunk Shadow was hanging onto Vio's shoulders while walking through the fire temple. The violet hero just nodded and supported his weight. They made their way up to Shadow room, so he wouldn't fall down the steps. Suddenly the dark teen tensed up and walked faster out of Vio's arm. A frown was barely visible from his turned back.

"Goodnight Vio." it seemed forced but the violet teen passed it off as drunken mood swings, and headed back down stairs to his own room. Shadow waited until he was gone to listen to the person in his head.

"Hey Nagi, he's cute. why don't you go down there and drink his blood?"

"Shut up idiot. I wouldn't do that to Vio." Shadow locked his door and lay on his bed with his eyes closed. Bad idea. His mind's voice sent very dirty pictures of him drinking from Vio and giving him pleasure at the same time. The unbearable look that his face he would make as he couldn't decide between the hurt and the sexual tension. A low growl came from him.

"Don't call yourself an idiot, weirdo"

"You aren't me! shut up and stop with the images!"

As the teen shouted, the real shadow shook his head as the memories' image faded away.

Shadow had made his escape far away. He had made it to Lake Hylia not ten minutes ago. He could feel him coming out again and he couldn't risk it. The voice was what he had sensed after Vio came out from the shadow temple, he just wished he had realized it sooner. It made him feel like his heart was going to be ripped out when he realized he couldn't be near Vio anymore. Not if there was even one percent of a chance that he would come out. He hated that name, the one his birth parents had given him. He hated his transformation into the demon he didn't want to be. Most of all he hated himself for not telling anyone what he is, Yami isn't even his real brother. He had been 'adopted', his horrible snooty parent had abandoned him because he hadn't been a girl to carry on the pureblood line.

A little boy with purple hair who looked to be ten was dragged across a castle hallway by his hair. A maid had thrown him out of the castle and into the arms of another parent. There stood a twelve year old version of Yami and his parents. This would be his new family.

He could still remember the large gray walls that had once been his room inside the castle.

"Green!" Vio yelled through the door, before opening it. Vaati was sitting on the end of the bed while Green was rummaging his closet. "Shadow's missing, I think something happened to him." The fear and worry was very evident in the teen's eyes. Vaati looked surprised but stayed silent Green poked his nose out from the closet.

"Maybe he went to look ahead in the next area."

"He always tells me if he going to do something like that. I woke this morning and he was gone! He had been for hours!" In his panic attack he failed to notice Yami and Dark peeking in through the open doorway. Yami had a deep frown on his face.

"He never just up and disappears for no good reason, I'm sure he's ok. I'll bet he's looking into something and didn't want you to know or worry about it. For all we know he just went to the nearest town for shopping or getting a book or whatever." Yami explained "He could've just been going to get a surprise book or gift for you and didn't realize he'd be gone until late." Everyone could tell that Yami's explanation was seriously calming him down

"I guess you're right but…"

"But nothing. I know you're going to be worried no matter what, Vio he'll be back by at least tomorrow. Just be a little patient, if he isn't back by lunch tomorrow then we can go look for him. Ok?"

Vio sighed, "Alright." He decided to sulk for the day until his precious shadow came home.

A few thoughts crossed Yami's mind, 'I wonder if he told Vio about where he's really from. If I can guess right, he's run off because of that. I hope he doesn't go back,they're probably looking for him. His time for growing up away from his true home has expired. Oh Shadow, will he learn your real identity? Will you ever reveal that you're really Prince Nagi? I don't think I can keep such a thing in for so much longer'
