CHAPTER 6

REASONING

Shadow knew why Spike was so mad, but he didn't know if he could talk to him. He jumped out of the way as Spike came at him with his glowing light blue hands.

"Come on you coward! Fight me!"

"Spike, I only want to talk to you. I don't want to fight you."

"Talk? About what? How you broke mom's heart! You left her and now I have to deal with that ass, Knuckles!"

"Spike, I never left her. I died and now I'm sorta an angel."

Spike thought it was some kind of joke, "Is this a joke? I won't believe you. I'll only believe you if you beat me in a battle."

Shadow shook his head, "No, I won't fight you."

Spike's hands glowed again, "Then die!" He held out his two glowing hands at him. "Chaos Spikes!" A blue light in form of a spike had came from his hands and struck at Shadow's arm.

Shadow kneeled to the ground while holding his bleeding arm. He looked up to Spike in anger, "Fine if you want a fight, I'll give you a fight." He stood from the ground and started to have a red aura color around his body. He started to grow transparent wings, claws, sharp fangs, horns appeared on his head, his tail became longer, and he at last he had piercing red eyes. He started to approach Spike with anger.

Spike was a little shocked to see his demon form, "What the hell is that? No matter, I'll kill him anyway." His hands glowed a light blue color again, "Chaos Spikes!" The light made a direct hit at the monster, but he had somehow deflected it.

The monster made an evil smile, "My turn." All of a sudden a circle of fire appeared around them both. "It's too bad you don't believe your own father." Fire came from his hands as he held them towards Spike, "Burn!" The fire from his hand struck and hit Spike with a critical hit.

Spike fell to the ground and moaned in pain. He watched as the monster approached him while adjusting his claws to finish him off. "All right, you win. If you have guts like that to attack your own son then you truly are my father", he smiled.

The demon let out a smile as the flames that was surrounding them faded away.

"Spike!" A female voice called.

Spike slowly stood from the ground and looked behind him seeing his mom and Knuckles startled to see the demon.

"Oh my god", Rouge said softly.

Shadow already saw that she was shocked to see him in his demon form so he transformed back into himself again. The black hedgehog smiled at the white bat, "Long time no see huh bat girl."

Rouge quickly ran over to him and hugged him with tears, "Shadow", she sobbed. "I missed you so much!"

He kissed her forehead, "I missed you too."

Knuckles ran over to them in anger, "Hey Shadow, keep off my wife!"

It made Shadow even more upset that Knuckles had called her his wife, "I should kick your ass for even sleeping with her."

Rouge held Shadow back, "Shadow, no. Knuckles is right. We made a commitment. We're married now."

"Then divorce."

"Shadow, it's not that simple."

He turned away from her, "I knew I shouldn't have done anything. I would only make it worse." He began to walk away.

"Shadow", Rouge said in a sad voice.

Knuckles held her close to him, "Let him go. He doesn't care about anyone except himself."

Spike walked up to Rouge in confusion, "How could you do that? That guy just poured his heart out to you and you turned him down like dirt. I've never been so disgusted with you."

She looked down to the ground with sadness and wished that she had never said that to him.

Later at Vector's house, Vector was sitting on his couch in his living room talking with Charmy and Chloe. "So Charms, what are you working on now?"

"Nothing really. I'm just kicking back and being lazy."

Chloe laughed and embraced on Charmy.

"Yeah, you're doing a super job", Vector said sarcastically.

Then they all heard the doorbell ring.

Vector sighed, "I'll get it." He got up and answered the door and saw a black hedgehog at the door. He couldn't believe it. Shadow was alive? "Sh-Shadow!" He stammered.

Shadow calmly walked into the house, "Nice to see you too, Vec."

"But you died...we all saw Rouge shoot you right in the center of your skull. You can't be alive!"

Charmy and Chloe had their mouths hanging open as well.

"Shadow, you're not dead, but it's been so long", Chloe started.

Shadow sat down in a chair, "Just sit down and I'll explain everything."

After when Shadow explained why he came back to life, everyone fully understood now.

"I knew something was wrong. It was that horrible demon, Deminse", Chloe said.

"So if you don't get Heaven's Light back then...everyone will have to go to hell?" Charmy was a little frightened about that.

Shadow nodded, "That's right. Now I have to stop him."

"Then what are you doing here?" Vector asked. "Why aren't you going after Deminse?"

"Well for one I don't know where he is right now, but I'm sure I'll sense him out soon and now when I met Rouge, she told me straight up how she felt about Knuckles and I completely understand. If she doesn't care for me then why should I!"

Everyone looked to the floor sad to think that Rouge had broke up with Shadow for Knuckles.

Shadow continued while changing the subject, "I came here for a reason. I just wanted to stay here for the night to regain my strength. I just don't feel so well all of sudden."

Vector stood up from the sofa, "You can rest in the guest room." He started to walk down the hallway and led Shadow to a door. "You can stay in here."

"Thanks, Vector."

The crocodile smiled and left him alone.

Shadow opened the door and walked into the room. The first thing he had on his mind was the bed he saw. He closed and locked the door. He fell on the bed and laid his head on the soft comfortable pillow. 'Why do I feel so weak? Maybe it had something to do with my demon form. That's right God said that if I use any of my forms, they would take away a large amount of my power. I guess that would explain it. I think my forms depend on my emotions...somehow.' Besides that he still had his mind on Rouge, 'Rouge, I miss you. How could you marry that guy?' He missed her lips brushing against his and the way she always swayed her delicate hips in a seductive way. As he thought about her, he began to stroke his cock lightly. He let out a soft moan. "Rouge", he said with groan. He then unzipped his pants and threw them on the floor as well with the rest of his clothes. He took his hand, licked it, and grabbed his penis with it massaging it as Rouge had always did. He hadn't had sex for so long. He missed the feeling so much. He even forgot how good it felt. As he started to squeeze his cock a little, he felt a familiar tension that he once had while he was doing Rouge. He felt something inside of him and he wanted to let it out and so he did. The next thing he knew he took his hand away from his cock and saw white liquid all over his hand. He was cumming. He took his sperm covered finger and placed it on his tongue. As the taste roamed his mouth, he realized that he hated the taste. It tasted awful. He looked at the rest of the white liquid covering his hand and decided to rub it all over his body. As he was enjoying his own mess, he didn't seem to care at the time that he had sperm covering half of his bed sheets and didn't think that Vector would probably yell at him for doing it.

N/A: Uh when did hedgehogs start playing with themselves? I'm sorry about the delay. Oh and happy 15th Sonic Anniversary!
