Chapter 2

At The Cost Of An Emerald Pt. 1

Espio was at the Chaotix agency in his room. He was hanging from a rope tied to the ceiling and was hanging upside down. "I don't know how the heck this is supposed to add 10 years to your life. But if Keith Richards can do it, I can too."

Espio was almost sound asleep when a rock hit his window. He turned his head to his window. He quickly cut his rope, sprang to his window, opened it, and he did it all in less than a second. He was at his window, no one was outside.

Wondering what just happened, he turned around to try to get to sleep, only to walk right into Rouge's chest. "Hello, Espio." She was wearing an attarctive ninja jumpsuit and she had a sword on her belt and a mask over her face except her eyes.

"Easy with the horn, big guy. You won't want to hurt anybody."

"Is that you, Rouge? What are you doing here?" Espio asked in slight fear she may want something from him.

"Tell me, Espio, have you ever been with a girl before?" Rouge said in an attractive tone while taking off her mask revealing her goddess-like face.

"N-No. Why? And what exactly do you want?" Espio said slowly backing up to his bed.

"I know Ninjas don't hardly use beds, like normal people, but how often do you use your bed?"

"Um...you mean for sleeping?"

"I mean other than sleeping."

Espio was sweating a waterfall right now. "Rouge, why are you showing this sudden interest?"

"Listen, Espio. I know 'what you want' and I can give it to you." Rouge said as she sat Espio down on the bed while touching his face softly. "And I can give it to you...at the cost of an emerald." She said as she suddenly kissed him. The kiss could have been stopped by Espio at any time, but Espio was enjoying himself too much.

It could have lasted about a few minutes, maybe a few seconds. It didn't matter. "At the cost of an emerald? You mean my Chaos Emerald? Why?"

"You know how much I love jewels. I would love the jewel as a present more than a payment."

Espio rose from the bed and went to his closet. He pulled out a box and opened it, pulling out a Chaos Emerald. It was the pink one. Just like Metal Sonic said.

Espio handed the emerald to Rouge and then Rouge locked Espio in a hug and then kissed him passionately without saying a word.

About 30 minutes later...

Espio was asleep after being knocked out with knock-out gas when Rouge escaped very silently. As Rouge left the Chaotix Agency, she said silently to herself, "Hmm, well, he was suprising. First suprise I've had in a while."
