Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story. I just gave names to some of the G.U.N. people.
AN: Konnichi wa! Part 4 is here! I start school in a few days....;____; Woe is me! Ah well. One more thing: my fan comic, 'Kyuuketsuki', is finally out! It's in Neon Chaos' 'Shadow of a Hedgehog' at http://www.planetdreamcast.com/sonic/index.html. It's pretty gorey, so you should be over 15 at least to read it. Thanks!
Home Girl - A Sonic Adventure 2 fanfiction - part 4 by Ly the werewolf
A shaky sigh escaped from the lips of Maria Robotnik as she lay in Shadow's arms, enjoying the light breeze that played with her light blonde hair. She had spotted a house a few minutes back, and now the black hedgehog was determined to get there. ' I wonder if there are people there...' she thought to herself. ' Maybe I'll actually meet some people who don't keep trying to kill us...' " Maria!"
" Yes?"
" Look! We're here!" The young cripple and the black hedgehog stood in front of the large piece of property. Maria arched an inquisitive eyebrow.
" Umm....I think it's abandoned." Indeed, it looked like it too. The weary travelers had come across an old farmhouse with a barn. It was probably once a booming industry, but now....
" Definatly. Maria, look at this - these people, or whoever lived here, were vegetable farmers. All of their land is overgrown, but...." Shadow smiled, a plan formulating in his mind.
" Shadow-san...I know that look...." Shadow paid her no heed.
" I once heard that a small bushfire can be good for plants....Besides, I looked most of these up, and I believe they are called 'weeds'. Useless, parasitic plants that serve no purpose. Stand back, Maria-chan...." Maria ran inside the beaten up shack, watching her surrogate brother begin to run in circles.
Back outside, Shadow was enjoying himself. His tremendous speed had set the dry and brittle weeds on fire. After he was done, the ash-coloured rodent stood back to admire his work. " Hmm...perfect!"
" Shadow-san!!" Maria called from the window.
" Yes?"
" How are you going to put it out!?!" Shadow opened his mouth to speak, but fell short of what he was going to say.
" Um...I knew I forgot something....Heh heh...." Before he could think of anything, a single solitary drop of water landed directly on his wet black nose. " Hmm?" Shadow's gaze greeted the morning sky above, only to find that it didn't look as bright and cheery as it did earlier. Large and menacing black clouds blanketed the desolate lands, while thunder rolled quietly in the distance. Then, the rain came. First a few, than many, that thousands of clear droplets fell from the darkened skies. " AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Shadow screamed bloody murder and dashed inside, the bushfire the fartheset thing from his mind. " MARIA!!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" The blonde teenager gripped his shoulders gently and shook him.
" Shadow!! What's wrong? Are there more G.U.N. soldiers? What?" The black hedgehog's pupils had shrunk in the obvious fear he was in.
" A bad omen, Maria-chan! Water is falling from the sky! It's not supposed to do that! Then, then t-there was n-noise! A loud boom! I think Mobius is falling apart!!" Maria's face scrunched up in confusion. Then, she started to laugh. First, a merry tinkling, then a loud, body shaking laughter. Shadow looked hurt. " What's so funny..?" he asked innocently.
" Shadow-san...ha ha ha ha....Gomen nasai....Ha ha ha ha ha....It's just that....*sigh*" Maria composed herself. " It's called a storm, Shadow."
" A...storm?"
" Yes. On these parts, storms are caused by heat rising from the flatlands...."
Hours had passed, and still the storm showed no signs of letting up. Amazingly, the shack had kept pretty well. Various pots and buckets littered the floor where leaks were, but at least the house stayed together. Shadow had found a pile of old firewood, that was luckily dry. Maria hunted around for some blankets, and, save the occasional spider, they were in pretty good condition. Together, they sat in front of a roaring fire, hudled together in the blankets. Neither one said a word as they both nibbled on rations, contemplating what to do next; or what the future held for the both of them. Sleep came easily for the both of them, the gentle pitter-patter of rain lulling them both into dreamland.

Sorry this part's so short; I just wanted to get something out before school started. Don't worry - the good stuff's coming up. Thanks for reading! Also, I want to give a big thank you to my friends, Willow and Darion, and Lucky Ladybug66, who made me see a better side of Nack the Weasal.
