A shadowed soul

Shadow. Shadow the hedgehog. Shadow the ultimate life form. Amy just stood there, looking at him. He had just claimed to love her. Amy couldn't react, she didn't know how to. Wait a minute, was Shadow telling the truth?
"Is Shadow just saying that so I don't give you this fake emerald?" Amy asked Metal Sonic.
"Give me the emerald and I'll tell you." Amy looked back at Shadow. He looked different... His eyes, they no longer showed pure hatred. They showed something different. They contained peace? Fear? Amy walked towards Shadow. Shadow pass a hand along the side of her head and through her spikes/hair. Amy managed to get some words out.
"You love me, you actually love me." Shadow nodded. He looked close to tears. This seemed so unlike Shadow. Amy held both of Shadow's hands. She looked him in the eyes. Neither could talk. For what seemed eternity they just looked at each over. They could hear each over breathing. Metal Sonic looked on. He had lost his hope of being given the fake emerald... Or had he? Shadow looked at Amy, sighed and pushed her away. Amy looked confused.
"Amy, please forget about this." a tear well from Shadow's eye. He closed his eyes and tried to bring himself together.
"Why?" Amy felt a tear fall from her eye.
"We won't work." Shadow sniffed. "The only reason I am attracted to you is because you remind me of Maria." Shadow let another tear fall. "I, in reality, don't know that much about you. We just won't work." They were interrupted by Metal Sonic, sniggering behind them. They turned around to see him standing in the distance, with the fake emerald. He had stole it while Amy realised her love.
"Thank you Amy for the emerald, oh and Shadow, I saw your emotions. This is more than a crush." Metal Sonic waved farewell as he flied off. Amy turned back to Shadow, Metal Sonic could wait.
"Shadow...I believe we can work. I bel..." Amy trailed off. Already forgetting Metal Sonic's escape, Shadow and Amy found each over closing in on each other. They closed there eyes. Amy felt Shadows lips touching hers. She put her hands on Shadows face, he did the same. Slowly they pulled there faces apart. Amy stared once again into Shadow's love filled eyes. "If that wasn't enough reason to give us a try, what is." Shadow couldn't deny that he enjoyed that. He hadn't felt anything like that before. Shadow swallowed. As he looked at Amy he saw the Maria in her soul. They were both kind, caring about others, hell, from what he had seen of her she might as well be Maria reincarnated. Shadow sighed. He never realised how much he wanted this. Since Maria had died, he was the only person he looked out for, but now he wanted to keep Amy safe, to protect her...
"Amy," Shadow stopped, he honestly didn't know what to say. "Lets go out sometime." Amy's face filled with joy. She didn't know why she felt so happy, she had only learnt Shadow loved her ten minutes ago. Amy couldn't believe what she was feeling. What she felt was true love.
"Tails, you were completely right." Sonic looked at Rouge's emerald tracker which was held by Tails. They watched as a signal, weaker than the other seven, moved at amazing speed. Tails had predicted that Amy had took the fake emerald for Metal Sonic, she didn't make a good cover story. "Do you think Metal Sonic believes it to be a real emerald." Tails shock his head.
"Eggman made Metal Sonic with the ability to pin point the emeralds, he used this ability when searching for the emeralds in the grand prix. (Sonic R, read the manual) It is unlikely that he can't tell the difference between a real and a fake emerald." Sonic checked the radar again.
"Why would he want a fake emerald." Tails shrugged. He took out a mobile and called Amy. He waited for her to call and then talked into it.
"Amy, you gave a fake emerald to Metal Sonic, didn't you." A voice came from the other end. "Okay." Tails replied. "Okay." Tails sarcastically glanced at Sonic. Tails then acted shocked and shouted down the phone. "SHADOW?" Tails put down the phone and looked a Sonic. Sonic had a confused look on his face. "Sonic, Amy and Shadow have got together." Sonic almost fell backwards.
"Shadow? Amy? Wha... Huh?" It didn't make any sense. That was possibly the biggest mismatch of all time! Amy was a happy free willed girl and Shadow was... gloomy. Sonic decided that could wait for now. "Tails, start up the Tornado, we need to catch Metal Sonic." Tails went to the Tornado's hanger. Sonic followed. Still he couldn't get rid of the idea of Amy and Shadow together. It could only end in tears.
Metal Sonic flied off towards his base. He looked into his hand at the fake emerald. He could see what others couldn't, he knew what it was truly capable. It wasn't nearly as powerful as a chaos emerald, but there was something very important about it that the chaos emerald didn't have. It was manufactured. That may not seem important, but if it could be manufactured... Metal Sonic's sensors picked up something moving towards him fast. He turned around. The Tornado was some hundred miles behind him. They must be tracking him somehow. He looked the emerald over. No tracking devices attached. Then how were they following him? Metal Sonic scanned the Tornado again. Two life forms, one moving machine, one stationary one. Metal Sonic focused on the machine stationary in the plane. It was a... Metal Sonic's systems analysed the machine. It was an emerald tracker. Drat. Metal Sonic looked at the emerald. There was no way he could stop it given off its energy. It would seem that when he gets home he'll have to take care of some rodents. Metal Sonic returned his attention to getting home.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" Shouted Knuckles. Rouge looked down at him from on top of the Master emerald shrine. For a week she had been annoying him. It was getting on his nerves.
"Can't you just admit you like me?" Rouge glided down to Knuckles level. She landed directly in front of him. Knuckles walked backwards and fell down the shrine stairs. He landed with a bump and rubbed his head. Rouge walked down towards him. "Come on, you know you want me." Rouge struck a pose. Knuckles tried to knock her backwards, but she dodged.
"You've become Amy, you know that?" Rouge considered that she may indeed have become an annoying little nuisance which can't take a hint.
"Fine then Knux, I won't bother you anymore." Rouge walked past Knuckles. as she moved past him there eyes met for just a second. Rouge walked off with a happy felling inside herself. He doesn't even know that he practically admitted his love with the look he just gave. As Knuckles watched Rouge walk off he sighed. Why didn't he admit his love for her? Love. Knuckles smirked. What an annoying emotion it was. He wasn't obsessive or anything, it wasn't like his thoughts were engulfed by Rouge, but whenever he saw her, whenever she was near, his stomach would twist itself on itself. He would lose allot of his senses. Knuckles sighed. He should just tell her, what could happen? She seemed to love him? Why did he have to keep so secretive? Knuckles suddenly felt a sharp pain on his back. Knuckles turned around. Chaos was standing behind him. He was the one who probably hit him. Knuckles rose his fists in fighting position.
"Chaos, what brings you out?" Chaos didn't answer, not that he could. Knuckles relaxed and folded his arms. Chaos didn't seem to want to bring him harm. "Something must be up for you to come out." Chaos nodded. He started to moan, soon the moan sounded like actual words.
"More... Chaos..." Knuckles tried to decode what he meant. Whatever it was, it was bad enough to make Chaos talk.
