Shadow looked up, as the rain poured down on him. "Great day to go off on my own. . ." he muttered, trying to find some kind of place so he could have shelter. "I knew for some reason I shouldn't have left. . ." he muttered under his breath, retreating to a near alleyway. He watched the many people walking, and his eye caught a nearby couple,  who were both escaping the rain. Who does that remind me of. . . he pondered, then shook it off. I shouldn't be thinking about such thoughts, love doesn't even matter to me. . . the only person who I loved was Maria. . .

"Hey there! I knew I'd find you here!" a voice said, startling Shadow out of his thoughts. There Rouge stood, smiling back at him with a wide grin. "How did you fine me?" he asked coolly, trying not to show any emotion of how surprised he was from her unexpected greeting. "Well, you're always here, duh! I guess I know you too well."

"Why'd you come after me?"

"Oh, that. . . I just felt that you needed some help, I don't think that you'd like to stay out in the rain," she said, holding out her hand, which Shadow refused to take. "I don't need help. . . I told you that. . ."

"Aw, c'mon Shads! You know you need help, stop being so damn stubborn!" said Rouge, crossing her arms, then opened her umbrella. "Are you coming or not?" she asked, impatient. Shadow finally gave up, and went under the shelter of the umbrella. Rouge sighed in satisfaction. Maybe there's a way I don't have to turn in Shadow to the President, thought Rouge. Shadow noticed that she was deep in thought. "ell? Is something wrong?"

"Huh? Oh, of course not. I'm fine," muttered Rouge.

"Then what's with the deep thought?"

"Ah. . . just something that happened," replied Rouge, and Shadow didn't bring up the topic again. They finally got to Rouge's house, which was decorated with many gems. "Oops. . ." Rouge said, out loud.

"What?" asked Shadow.

"I only have one room. I didn't actually think that you'd be coming anymore after you fell off ARK. Turned that into a room full of my precious gems."

"So? What do you mean?"

"You have to sleep with me," started Rouge.

"HELL NO! You're gonna try something. I'm not that stupid. You're gonna try and seduce me or something to make me have sex with you."

"I'm not desperate! You can just sleep on the floor, if you don't wanna sleep in my bed, and I'm gonna turn in. G'night."
