CHAPTER 9
THE DISAGREEMENT
Later that day Shadow and Rouge left Neon City and headed for Ivor City. It would be a while because it was very far from where they were.
Rouge felt sick all of sudden, "Shadow, I don't feel well."
Shadow looked back at her, "It's the sunlight it'll weaken you, but you'll eventually get use to it."
Rouge nodded in agreement. Then Rouge thought since Shadow was her master, who was his? Who made him a vampire in the first place? She wanted to know, "Hey, Shadow? I was wondering if you made me a vampire that makes you my master right?"
Shadow nodded as he continued walking.
"Well I wanted to know who is your master? Is he the reason why you wanted to go to the west? To find him?"
Shadow stopped walking and faced his lover, "I told you before I don't want to talk about my master."
"Come on, Shadow."
"I said no!" His voice hardened in the air as he yelled.
"I'm sorry, Shadow."
"Don't ever discuss matters about my master, understand?"
Rouge crossed her arms, upset with him, "What's with you anyway?"
Shadow gritted his teeth, "Just stay out of my business and you won't get hurt."
Rouge looked at him with anger in her eyes, "What does that mean?"
Shadow turned from her and began walking.
Rouge slowly followed behind him.
That night Shadow and Rouge found an old barn to stay for the night.
Rouge was laying in a pile of hay looking at the stars appearing in the dark sky.
Shadow decided to join her along with an apology, "Rouge, I want to talk with you."
Rouge didn't face him, "Now you want to talk?"
"Look I'm sorry for what happened and..."
"I don't want to hear it! You wanna wait until the end of the day to apologize? You should've said something earlier." She stood from the pile of hay and began to walk into a field full of white flowers.
Shadow followed her, "Rouge, wait!" He caught up with her by grabbing her arm.
Rouge jerked away from his grip, "Leave me alone!"
Shadow grabbed her arm again, "Listen to me."
Rouge then out of nowhere hit Shadow. Since she became a vampire her strength had developed a lot. She hit him, she actually hit him. She hit him so hard he fell to the ground.
He stood from the ground with blood coming from his mouth looking at her with anger, "You wanna play that way huh?"
Rouge stood in a stance, "I'll take you down."
Shadow came at her and grabbed her by the neck and tried to suffocate her.
Rouge easily got out of his grip by kicking him in his stomach. Which caused him to let go of her. When he was on the ground she quickly took his arm and bit into it, trying to inflict pain into him. She never really cared for the blood, all she cared about was making Shadow pay.
Shadow yelled and pushed her back.
She fell to the ground, but got back up ready for more.
Shadow held his bleeding arm in agony, "You bitch, you bit me."
She licked his blood around her mouth, "And it tasted great."
Shadow smirked, "This is how you wanna play huh? You want it you got it." He tackled her to the ground and quickly bit her in the side of her stomach.
Rouge yelled loud as he bit harder and harder each second. She punched him off her and tried to bite back, but he ended up getting back on her.
When the clouds moved the bright moon shone in the dark sky, shining on the fighting couple.
Once Shadow was about to finish her off he noticed that Rouge was looking into his dark red eyes and started laughing. He was very confused at the moment, "What's so funny?"
Rouge tried to stop laughing, but some laughter still slipped her mouth while she was trying to talk, "You", she laughed again.
"What about me?"
"When I first stared into those eyes of yours, I was scared to death, but now I feel like I can take you on anytime. Ever since you made me a vampire that is. Now we're biting each other's arms off because of some stupid argument", she continued to laugh.
Shadow didn't really get her joke, but he smiled anyway.
Later they were back at the barn sitting in the hay together, looking at the bright moon in the night sky.
Rouge was leaning on Shadow enjoying the view of the sky, "I'm sorry for what I did to you, love. I don't know what came over me. It must have been when you killed Jimmy. I was really pissed at you that day, even when he was the last member of my family."
"The last member of your family?"
Rouge nodded, "Yeah, when all my family members planned a housewarming party for me. Some guy placed a bomb in the house and blew it up along with everyone I knew in it the only one that survived was Jimmy and me. We weren't even there at the time. When we came back the house was completely destroyed", she almost had tears in her eyes.
Shadow may had no shame when he killed Jimmy, but hearing that story just now he felt awfully guilty, "Christ, Rouge I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"Things like that always happen to me. I should get used to it by now", Rouge leaned over to the other side trying to hide her emotions from Shadow.
Shadow then noticed the bite mark in her side that he made and felt sorry for doing that. He touched it lightly, "Are you okay?"
Rouge faced him and nodded, "Sure love, I'm fine. What about your arm?"
Shadow looked at his arm still bleeding a bit, he licked some of the blood off to clean his wound, "Better than it was."
Rouge pulled him over to her, took her tongue and licked the blood away from the side of his mouth, "Better now?"
He smiled, "A lot." He held her close to him and kissed her down into the hay.
