Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't updated for such a long time. I love now inuyasha as much as I love sonic x. so I've been reading around. Anyway here's the next chapter of unknown gift. It will be finished soon!-

She landed hard on her feet, back on the ground and gently approached the strange rock as though jumping 100 feet and landing safely on the ground was nothing new. She inserted the crystal into the gap and what would have been a bunch of boulders became a cave entrance. Amy peered through its dark, eerie entrance. Huge stalactites and stalagmites hung from the walls and floors. Water dripped from the ceiling with a soft pit-pat on the floor as Amy slowly stepped into the cave.

Her footsteps echoed off the cave walls as she walked into the dark emptiness. The leather bands on her arms slipping from the humid air inside the cave but she tightened her ponytail and kept walking. She finally reached a dark oak door engraved with pictures of phoenixes and dragons. She pushed the door open and walked in.

Back with Sonic, everyone was preparing to catch up with Amy. Rouge came over to help out and was teasing Knuckles when they heard a scream from upstairs. Shadow came rushing down the stairs holding a note.

"That fucking bitch! She stole my spare rocket shoes!" yelled Shadow waving the pink note around.

Sonic snatched it up and read it ignoring Shadow's waves of outrage.

"To everyone, please understand that I had to leave, I couldn't stand seeing Tails or everyone else in pain. I have not been truthful to you all and I intend to fix that mistake. Do NOT come after me, I promise it will all be over soon. Amy" Sonic read

"Oh Amy!" squealed Cream hugging her pet chao

"I don't understand, why?" asked Shadow finally calming down

"I do" replied Knuckles.

Everyone stared at him. "Well that's a first Knucklehead" replied Rouge in a smartass tone

"Amy has run off because she wants to resurrect someone, there is a legend that says one day each millennium there will be a person that can resurrect the dead, tales of people walking into the ancient forest with such power never come back " continued Knuckles turning even redder because of Rouge's comment

"But who?" asked Shadow

Sonic uttered a single word "Cosmo"

Several minutes there was much scuffling and running around the house as everyone prepared for the journey ahead. Sonic saw Cream with a yellow backpack stuffing chao food inside it.

"Cream, where do you think your going?" asked Sonic raising an eyebrow

"I'm coming with you!" said Cream indignantly

"Oh no your not! It's far too dangerous!" said Sonic temper getting to the best of him

"But I want to go!" said Cream tears swelling up in her eyes

"Sonic's right Cream, stay here" said a familiar voice. Vanilla.

Some two hours later Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles and Rouge were walking down the driveway in silence. They all heard the shouts of a little girl and mother in distress.

"They'll be ok" whispered Knuckles to Rouge putting an arm around her

'I hope Amy's ok' thought Sonic

Amy stepped into the dark room with Shadow's stolen shoes hitting the floor like high-heels. 'I guess it's the way I'm walking' thought Amy taking notice. She took out a cigarette lighter and lit it. There wasn't much light as it was a large room so she couldn't see anything. She held it against a wall which looked like cracked dirt. Suddenly the fire from the lighter lit up a line of fire connecting every now and then to an oil lamp. 'Just as I thought, there is methane here' thought Amy quite proud of herself 'I could give Tails a run for his money' she stopped and shook her head remembering what she was here for. Amy started to gaze around the room marveling at its beauty when her head started to hurt again.

So how was it? Please R & R! Until next time!
