Kagome: Welcome to te last chapter of…Untitled. If there are a million errors, gomen. I have to type this all up, AND get it online in three days. I kinda slacked off for a few days. Heh, heh…last thing I typed was five days ago. Some minor OOC Tails bashing. Oh, a random sonic note; While I was reading one piece, I found out that 'rouge' means thief. So, Rouge's name is basically 'Thief the Bat'. If you all knew that, I'm just being my usual oblivious self…

Okay, there is a point to my babbling for once; I've decided I don't want to end the story yet. So, it's up to you! Either the story ends next chappie, or I only get to update once every week or two. Tell me in a review to the chappie. This is what I have done and anything saying it's the last chapter was typed up before I decided this isn't the last chapter.

ShadowIsCool: Fun, aren't they? Exactly; suspence…spelled right! No, stabs are too nice and chains are…well…outta my budget. Can I have my fifty bucks back?

Turquoise is being lazy: Yay! Another reviewer! You know Turquoise? When did I screw up her name? lol. Seriously, sent the c2 invite. Now you are staff.

Turquoise Moonlight: You know, there's someone on this site passing themselves off as you. Their name is 'Turquoise is being lazy'. nods like she's 100 sure she's right It was only interesting? That took me all night to type up! Yay! Someone who knows what their doing. I'll update before school starts.

metaldragon75767: Too bad, you had to wait. Well, the waiting is over! Nyah, I'm not sure if she'll get her memory back, I'm going to be playing it by ear, or whatever…As in I have no clue what I'm doing so I'll type up randomly so it looks like I'm typing a story. Yeah, I was able to pass off as an author for 22 chapters like that and this marks 23! Uh, why she lost her memory was revealed in 'Possible Connections'.

terragirl57: They aren't nice. They're evil! Yea, well, I felt like making fun of Koishikawa-san. Oops…wrong fic…Don't feel sorry for Rouge, read this chapter instead! THEN feel sorry for me because I have the teacher who hates me first period. I know I sound like a little kid say 'my teacher has it in for me', but he has it in for over half the kids he teaches. I had him last year, and I have him again since he's the choir teacher. For my updating, you must learn how to spell 'please', it's not puleze, it's please.

"Rouge, you have to leave?" Knuckles looked worried. Not one of these things again…

"Right now." Rouge walked off, leaving silence behind her. No one said a word for a minute out of shock.

"Amy, get away from me!" Sonic yelled, running by. You could tell he was out of breath 1 "Knux, save me!" Sonic took cover behind his echidna friend.

"Knuckles!" Amy was flaming 2, holding up her hammer "You better move if you know what's good for you!"

Rouge walked away from the mansion slowly. The cold, pouring rain didn't brighten things up any.

"Rouge!" A familiar voice shouted. "Wait up!"

Turning around, the bat found the voice belonged to Knuckles.

"You can't leave! Not right now."

"I'm sorry." Rouge looked down. "I have to."

"But we were just going to…" Knuckles fought back some tears. Yes, you read it right. Knuckles. "And…"

"I don't have much time left." Rouge shook her head. "Some Harima guy is after me, and I have to leave right now."

"Who's 'Harima'?"

"He…I think I got amnesia while fighting him…"

"I'm coming with you, then!" Knuckles said.

"This is too dangerous." Rouge closed her eyes. "He did that to me, and that time I was lucky enough to escape. This time it will be far worse."

"I've been in love with you for a long time now." The echidna responded, not realizing how much he had just told her. "There is no way I'm going to let you get killed when I finally have a chance!"

"Knuckles…" At this point, both pf them were in tears.

"How sweet." A dark figure said; Haruki. Pulling out a gun, he continued. "Too bad you're both going to die soon."

Suddenly, the gun disappeared, reappearing in Shadow's hand, who came out of nowhere using Chaos Control.

"How did you know…?" Knuckles asked.

"We were all watching you two from the window." Shadow responded.

"You were what!"

Now, everyone else was coming out to help. As Tails went to attack, Knuckles punched him down.

"Ow!" The fox replied.

"Knuckster!" Sonic looked at…gimme a minute…Knuckles. "What was that for!"

"You guys stay out of this." He yelled, once again saying something without realizing. "I'm the one who's going to protect Rouge."

"Did Knuckles damage my brain," Tails asked, still on the ground. "Or am I hearing things."

"Neither. He said it." Sonic responded.

"Well, that, and your brain was damaged long before echidna met you." Shadow added.

"If you're all gonna watch, then shut up!" Knuckles yelled. Out of slight fear, everyone obeyed, even Shadow.

Rouge, actually doing something to Haruki, aimed a kick at the man, who simply dodged it.

"This is less impressive than our last encounter." He grabbed her by the hair. "It's as if you've gotten worse, batgirl."

"Let me go!" Struggling, Rouge found herself unable to fall out of his grasp. Knuckles now punched the guy in his stomach.

"Leave her alone!" He ordered. "Rouge, are you all right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine…"

Kagome: The chapter wasn't super short for once. Okay. Review and tell me if I should continue or not. All reviews will be read either Wednesday or Thursday, but no chapter guaranteed.

1 Unlike in the video games, tv show, and several other fics, he can run out of breath. Yes. It's possible.

2 As in so mad she was on fire. A lot of anime do that and I think Sonic X does, but I'm not sure.
