Chapter five. Romanticide.

"It was all MY fault" the orange vulpine claimed while tears danced down his cheeks.

The crimson guardian could not believe the sentences that came from the fox. He became speechless, shuddering in confusion. "What do you mean it's your fault?" he spoke in an accelerated tone.

"It was!" the kit pleaded. "If it wasn't because I'm so weak, Sonic would still be here!!" he claimed the moment he stood from the grass. Traces of slight anger came to him, notable as he was standing in an impatiently manner; it was painful to say this, but he was still annoyed at himself for the whole fact.

"Eggman and I were having a though confrontation, in our robots, but that treachery man, he sent a sneak attack from behind" the fox continued his monologue after reaffirming his voice. "The next thing I remember... is being tied up aboard the Egg Carrier".

The guardian of the Master Emerald was carefully listening to every word, while still posed on the soft ground. His legs were crossed one over the other; his eyes, staring down at his stretched palms. He seemed ashamed to be listening at the threatening story the vulpine was enouncing.

The other one continued "Of course that the evil doctor's plan was for me to fulfill the role of bait for... Sonic" his voice broke a moment before pronouncing that name, appearing as if he was ashamed of holding his name with his lips. "With no doubt, he rushed to take me away from that dreadful grasp... but with a high cost"

Tails took a hold of a shinning object in his hand. Staring deeply at it; dripping a single tear over the golden wrist ring. He continued "After ensuring me into safety, he turned back, and simply said smiling:

I'm making sure that this does not repeat itself ever again. Wait for me... my love". As the kit cited these final words, his soul could not take it anymore, and began to flow out of himself trough those sapphire eyes.

"The next vision was only that of the carrier exploding to millions of pieces". The two tails fox gave the message for the echidna to infer, but at the astounded expression of this one, he finally said "He... died together with Eggman" breaking his voice, lowering the intonation every second.

The scarlet one was still wondering his thoughts out, but suddenly realized something. "But wait, how do you know for sure that he is dead?"

"He is!!" the tearing kit responded hastily. "I... I looked for him for such a long time; until..." he was silenced by his own sorrow; his voice was dimming gradually; as his eyes were sore from crying.

"Until?" the echidna questioned gently, not wanting to place more pressure over the pained soul before him.

"I found Eggman's corpse laying in a shore... and..." he stopped again, staring at the grass, sapphire tears dropping to the ground, spreading into the air. "Not too far... was... also... Sonic's"

The crimson being hated himself for having forced the vulpine into saying that. That wasn't necessary to state, and now, because of him, the kit was suffering even more. "But how do you know he was dead?" he asked shocked at the whole situation.

"I checked him myself!!" the vulpine cried out load while turning around to meet the curious stare of the echidna, as the tears that where falling from his eyes went off drifting into the air. Returning to his former position, glancing at the grass wet his own tears, loosing himself to nothingness.

The darkness within the afflicted vulpine soul was growing thicker as he spoke. The guilt, the shame, the weakness of spirit that had now a reign upon his entire being in these moments of total despair. His entire self could had easily be torn into infinite shards, but just an instant before this happened, a strong but gentle embrace held him from behind.

The guardian was there, holding him lovingly; speechless at the entire situation, but he still was there. At a certain moment, he began to lament himself for being so unconnected with the vulpine in the past; his conjectures were, that if he had been there, nothing of that would have happened, and the orange furred creature would not have gone trough such pain.

Nevertheless, if that incident had never happened, the fox would also never have reached his arms. His mind twisted in confusion over these thoughts. He could not determine what that he was feeling really was. If Sonic hadn't died, the vulpine would not have gotten that load of sorrow, and wouldn't have come to him. Until some point, he was thankful that had happened and that an opportunity with the kit had been granted to him. But that same though disgusted himself from the inside out, as he would never wish for such pain to be caused to the fox between his arms.

But for him, it was not the proper time to be thinking about his own problems; he urgently needed to help the spiritually injured two tailed fox, in any way possible. "Tails, I... I apologize. I hadn't even the slightest idea this was such a delicate matter".

The kit just continued tearing himself along. He was now wordless. The moment had grown darker every second; even the moonlight seemed to have dimmed; the melody of the sea turned into an unpleasant one; the sound of the wind became threatening and intimidating.

The echidna tried to pull himself together as well. "And what happened to Sonic? I mean, his..." he suddenly realized the imprudence of the interrogation.

"After that... I just... came here" he turned around and pressed his arms against the echidna. "I was so scared... I did not know what to do!!"

"What! You just left him like that!?" the crimson creature asked with disbelief; after all, the hedgehog was his friend too. "We can't leave him like that". His desire was to stay in the angel with the vulpine, but he couldn't leave Sonic behind like that; mainly because he was very important to the fox ´Even more that me´ he thought.

"I know... but I just can't" the kit said with a sore voice. Pressing back against the chest behind him

"I understand this is hard for you. But you won't be alone; I am going to be there right beside you" the other one spoke while holing the orange furred soul between his arms. "I promise"

There it was. Didn't like it? Not my problem. I just apologize for taking so long in updating.
