Shadow visited Sonic everyday, but he was always the same. Until one day..
Shadow was sitting down on the sofa in the apartment he and Sonic shared.
The phone rang and Shadow answered it.
"Hedgehog residence. Shadow's here.."
The voice on the phone almost made him drop the phone. "He's.. He's."
"Awake." the voice replied.
Shadow hung the phone up and ran towards the hospital reaching Sonic's door in no time.
"Let me see him." he urge, trying to get pass Dr. Bones.
The doctor blocked him. "Shadow please. I have to tell you.."
Shadow moved his arms and walked inside. "Sonic!" he yelled out running towards the blue hedgehog sitting up in the bed.
Sonic's head turned towards Shadow's voice. "Who are you..? Where are you?" he asked in a raspy voice.
Shadow stopped in his tracks and stared at Sonic. "Sonic." he whispered.
Sonic's head twisted around again. "Tell me who you are!" Sonic demanded, his arms out as if searching like a blind man.
But.
He WAS blind. His eyes were a dull green now and his pupils were now just cloudy gray spots.
Shadow's breath was caught in his throat as he looked at Sonic in blind horror. "How. How." he gasped, taking small steps backwards until he felt a rather large body hit his.
"The fire did it.. Also, his impact to the ground took away his memory."
Shadow turned towards Dr. Bones and gapped at him. "Why.. Why did you."
"I tried to tell you." Bones replied, a stern look in his eyes. "But you were too eager to see Sonic.. He only remembers things when he was about 10."
Shadow gasped. "But that was 8 years ago! He doesn't know me! Nor Amy, Knuckles, or Tails!"
Bones nodded. "Just try to make him remember, but don't force him too much. He'll have some tremors, but nothing serious.." And Dr. Bones was gone.
Shadow sighed and walked back into the room to see Sonic gripping onto the covers of his bed.
"Who's there!? I'll call the doctor! And the nurse!"
Shadow smiled sadly and sat next to him and held his hands.
Sonic's head turned towards him suddenly. "Dr. Bones? Scarlin?" he asked.
Shadow sighed again. "No.. My name is Shadow.."
Sonic's mouth opened and mouthed out Shadow's name. "It seems familiar.." Sonic then said, his eyes starring away from Shadow's face.
Shadow felt tears roll down his cheeks. "Yes.. We were friends.."
Sonic smiled. "Your voice. It seems sinister. Like as if you were a bad person at a time.."
Shadow smiled and tighten his grip on Sonic's hands. "Yeah.. You can say that.."
Sonic look in front of himself and smiled. "I think I'm gonna like you.." he whispered, eyes closing, and soon he was asleep.
Shadow smiled and let his hands go. "Sleep well Sonic.." he whispered and left out of the room.
~~~
Everyone visited Sonic. Amy, tried to convince him that he was her boyfriend. Sonic politely tought otherwise. Tails tried to remind him of their adventures together. Knuckles told him about the time he recovered the Master Emerald. Rouge just reminded him that she was a bat and helped them stop the Eclipse Cannon. And many other people. But Sonic wasn't interested in them. Only in one person..
Shadow turned in his sleep, as the phone rang again.
He picked it up, yawned and rubbed his eyes.
"Hello..?" he said sleepily into the phone.
"Shadow..?"
It was Sonic's nurse. Scarlin.
Shadow was instantly awake. "Is something wrong with Sonic? Is he hurt?"
Scarlin giggled a bit. "No. He just wants to know when are you going to come by.. He's rather interested in you. Not any of his other friends.. I think it's cute.."
Shadow raised an eyebrow and looked at the phone in his hands. "What?"
Scarlin giggled again. "Your little boyfriend kind of remembers you. That's so cute!"
Shadow felt his cheeks heat up. "He's a boy and my friend, but not my boyfriend! I mean! We aren't.. Never in this.. Oy vey.." (A/N: (^^);;;;;)
Scarlin just giggled harder. "Well come down here. Taking care of the world's faster hedgehog besides you IS rather hard if he's not occupied. In fact. You can take him home today."
Shadow smiled. "That's nice.." He hung up the phone and walked out of the apartment and to the hospital.
~~~
Shadow walked to Sonic's room to hear yelling. "Oh boy.." he whispered walking in to see Sonic out of bed walking around, breaking stuff in the process.
Scarlin backed away from the blind blue hedgehog as he swung his white stick around madly.
"Where's Shadow!? You said he would be here and he's not!"
Scarlin laughed nervously as she eyed Shadow.
Shadow smiled and grabbed the stick Sonic was swinging around.
"Hey.. I'm here.."
Sonic smiled and looked up, not directly at Shadow, but close enough.
"Shadow! Thank god you're here!" Sonic cried out. He reached for his face and then to his ears. "'Bout time you were coming to take me out from the mess of stuff.. They were gonna take me to the secret lair and experiment on me!" he whispered with a grin.
Shadow laughed a little. "Very funny.." He led Sonic to his bed made him sit on it. "Just let Scarlin give you your pills and I'll take you home. Kay?"
Sonic tilted his head, a smile on his face. "Kay."
~~~
Shadow pushed Sonic through the doors of the hospital, many of its quests and workers saying their goodbyes to the two of them.
"Friendly people eh?" Sonic said, looking up at Shadow, staring at him with his gray pupils.
Shadow nodded, but then remember that Sonic couldn't see him. "Yeah.."
Shadow continued to push Sonic around, telling him about some of the places he has been to. It felt a bit odd though..
"Sonic.?"
"Hm?"
"How.. How does it feel."
"To be blind..?"
Shadow remained silent.
"Weird. It's like I'm living in a world of darkness. But.. I am.." Sonic sighed after he said this and lowered his head.
Shadow bit his lip. "I should have never try to ask you that question.."
Sonic tilted his head up. "It's alright Shadow.. Whatever I did.. to have this happen to me. was wrong.."
Shadow didn't replied, but just kept pushing him towards the apartment.
'If only you knew Sonic. That it was -my- fault..' he thought.
~~~
Looking on the two, was a sinister person. To be more precise.. Eggman.
"So.. Sonic lost his sight.. Perfect.. I may have saved this planet, but he's still my enemy.. It'll be only a matter of time before.."
He broke off into an evil laughter.
Something was going to go wrong. All so wrong.
