Our Pasts entwine,and is different from out future17

Lane obviously was smart enough to avoid Shadow...but only when Rouge was around.He actually seemed to be pretty cheerful,despite the fact of who he was.The week was coming to an end,and Sonic felt pretty confident about getting Eggman's soul before the other two weeks were up.Of course,he didn't speak to Shadow about what he saw,but he noticed he himself was a bit easier on the eyes.Amy seemed sinisterly happy,probably because she had gotten to torture the last of the chipmonk soldiers.Tikal was very worried about the plans for her wedding,which were to take place in a month's time.

"No,no,no!This has to be here,and that has to be blue.No,this is going to be red,of course my dress is going to be white!My god,your hard to work with!"Tikal angrily throwed her hands into the air,walking away quickly.Tails came out at the wrong timing,and just got yelled at for the nervous voices inside Tikal's head.Sonic couldn't help himself,he just had to laugh.He had already mentioned to Amy,that Lane was not to be trusted,but didn't tell her the entire truth of the arguement the guys had.

"Hey Sonic!Can I talk to you?"Lane asked,atop the stairs,his arms folded.Sonic shrugged and walked with him down the hall.

"What is it?"

"Your friends are pretty powerful aren't they?"

"Yes,but what are you trying to get at?"Sonic asked,beginning to get annoyed.

"Do you completely trust them?" Lane's eyebrows shifted upward.

"With my very life".Lane noted the tone of pride in Sonic's voice.

"Even if you were to find out something about one of your team mates that could easily bring your down fall?"

"I know all there is to all my team mates,but who I don't trust is you.So unless you have anything important to say,move"Sonic turned around and pushed him aside before walking back to his throne room.

"I know Shadow's origin"Lane smiled slyly.

"As do I Lane,in fact.I was right here the entire time,listening to your filthy words"Sonic didn't even glance back before coming down stairs.Shadow watched him do so,for once afraid that Sonic might fear him.But Sonic flashed a smile,one of his best,saying 'You'll be my best friend no matter what buddy'.Shadow smiled back before turning to a panicing Tikal.Sonic smiled to himself,finally,he knew something about Shadow,that Amy didn't.No doubt Shadow told Rouge,it would make one another distrust eachother.A knock sounded at the door,making heads turn.Getting up,Shadow went and answered the door with caution.A girl with long flowing purple hair pushed past him.

"MINA!"Tikal stood quickly.

"Tikal!Oh,congrats to you and your lucky husband to be"the mongoose laughed shrilly.The high pitch laugh made Rouge's eye muscle twitch.

"And you are?"Sonic asked,one eyebrow arching above the other.

"Oh,sorry my Lord.Sonic,this is my dearest friend Mina Mongoose.She's the maid of honor in my wedding"Tikal smiled nervously.

"Nice to meet you?"Shadow said confusedly,shutting the door.Rouge was looking at Mina with a bit of distaste,the girl's aura was easily absorbed,and Rouge did not like it one bit.She heard Mina's heartbeat quicken every time she glanced in Shadow's direction.

'Oh no honey,he's mine'she growled to herself.

Amy showed Mina to where she was to stay.Tikal was sitting on Mina's bed now,giggling like a little girl.

"So?"

"So what?"Tikal asked confused.

"So tell me where you found your fiance' and how long you've known him,you know,the works!"Mina laughed,sitting next to her.

"Well,I've known Knuckles for a long time,he used to be my guardian when I ruled the enchidna's.Then my father took over with hatred and booted me to the streets,and thats how I'm here"Tikal shrugged.

"Hmmm...your so lucky Tikal.Actually,I've been thinking about settling down myself"Mina blushed.

"Oh?With whom?"

"Well...I just met him...he's the tall dark and handsome type.And he's drop dead gorgeous,but I have no idea how to make him notice me"Mina shrugged,her shoulders then dropped.

"Well...I think you should try to get him alone and talk to him,just the two of you.Then ask him whats his intrests and what types of girls he's intrested in.Its how I hooked Knuckles".

"Thanks...I'll try that the next time I see him"Mina smiled.

Shadow was down in the arena,sharpening his blades,then examining them,making sure the weight was right.Mina walked by,then took a double glance before walking back to the door way.

"Hi"she smiled cheerfully.

"Hi"Shadow didn't look up but instead continued sharpening.

"Sorry about earlier"Mina put her arms behind her back.

"S'cuse?"

"About nearly running you over.I just haven't seen Tikal in a long long time...I never did learn your name"her eyes drifted to the floor.

"It's Shadow...and its ok,people do it all the time"he sheathed his one blade,stood up and stretched,making the quills on his back stand straight then drift slowly downward.

"Umm...Mr.Shadow?...This place isn't...quite my taste,so I'm afraid about walking to my room you perhaps escort me?"Mina gave a small smile.Shadow looked her way and shrugged.

"I suppose I could".Mina had to take either large steps,or multiple tiny ones to keep up with Shadow.

"So...what are your intrests?"

"Not dying?" Mina laughed at his response.

"Not exactly what I meant but ok...ummm...what kind of personality types do you like?" Shadow looked at her confused,he had never been hit on by anyone except Rouge,so it was sort of hard if she really wanted to make small talk,or if she was attracted to him.

"I like the kind of people that can hold their own weight in battle,who don't turn tail and run when things go bad"now Shadow wasn't sure if he just insulted her,but at the moment,better for him to give her the hint,before Rouge did.

"Hey Tikal,I just learned my mysterious guy's name"Mina smiled.

"Oh?He's a soldier?You will have to introduce me.What's his name?"

"Shadow".Tikal choked on the air within her lungs,it hurt to breathe for a second.

"Your in love with my General!"her jaw dropped.

"Thats your General?I figured he'd be older,like an old man"Mina laughed.Tikal shook her by the shoulders.

"Stay away,from General Shadow".

"Why?Does he like to kill people?"

"Well...yeah,that and...Mina,he's already taken".

"Well,I'm pretty good about getting what I want.Then I'll just split him and who ever he's with.Is it that pink girl?To bad she seems nice"Mina flipped her hair aside.

"No...that's Commander Amelia,and she's with Lord Sonic.Amelia is like a little sister to the General.But if you value your life you WILL stay away from him".

"Oh,she's with the blue one.Pink and blue,such nice colors blended together,they make purple you know".

"I know that,I'm not stupid.Just do me a favor and stay away from the General,ok?"

"Why is a monster going to come after me?"Mina laughed.

"Rouge damn well could.Unless your fond of vampire fangs in your throat...just don't be stupid ok?"

"Please Tikal its me".

"Thats exactly my point".

"I don't like her"Rouge said from the ceiling of Shadow's room.She said it to no one in particular,then a pair of eyes appeared from the darkness next to her.The eyes were dark black.

"You really think with another girl who is intrested in Shadow here,really think he'll stay with you?"Lane asked.

"He chose me last time,it'll be no different this time"she folded her arms.

"Then how come I saw him flirting with her?"

"Lane...your supposed to be my best friend,why are you tryig to turn me against him?"

"I just don't want to see you get hurt again.Last time you got your heart broken by this guy,you winded up in a blood seal crystal" Lane stood up and jumped to teh floor.Rouge followed.

"You damn well it was for a few good reasons".

"Yes yes,question is,do you know what those reasons were?"

"Yes I do,now please get out of Shadow's room.I have no need for him to try and kill you".

"Whats the matter Rouge?He doesn't trust you?"

"He doesn't trust you,no leave.I will not ask of you again"Rouge pushed him out of the room.After bolting it shut,she went and sat on the foot of the bed.He had better not have been flirting with her.

'This is stupid.Shadow loves me,and I love him.He will chose me,just like last time'only this time when she thought these words,she didn't feel oh so confident.She leaned back and stretched her arms above her head.She closed her eyes and let her wings expand.A soft knock made her open them.Grumbling,she got up to see who dared to disturb her when the door was locked.

Mina stood at Shadow's door,looking very pretty.She hoped he was in,but instead light blue eyes looked at her.

"What do you want?"the voice was female and cold.Thinking up something quickly Mina opened her mouth.

"Are you the one they call Rouge?"her hands twisted around her back,'Lets just see how pretty this girl is'.She smiled to herself at the thought of her surpassing Rouge's beauty.Rouge opened the door completely,and Mina's eyes widend a bit.Even though Mina was completely straight,it didn't take just guys to know that she was drop dead gorgeous.

"Something you need to talk to me about?"Rouge's eyes made Mina feel as though she was on fire.

"Nope,just wanted to meet you"Mina smiled,a bead of sweat tumbling down from her scalp.She began to walk away but stopped as Rouge began to speak to her.

"Mina...don't kid yourself in thinking you can try to split Shadow and I.Little girls need to learn they don't always get what they want.Do not toy with me mongoose,or I will be sure you suffer eternally and internally".

"Your threatening me?"Mina tried to sound tough,but was failing miserably.

"Foolish girl,I'm a vampiric sorceroress,I can read your mind just as easily as I can hear your pulse.Don't...toy...with me.Because you will live to regret it,friend of Tikal's you may be.But I'm sure its not her fault your stupid.Mercy is not something I dish out,ok princess?"Rouge then slammed the door shut,hissing at it as though it were the cause of all her problems.Two very strong arms wrapped around her waist.

"Babe,you really need to relax"Shadow purred into her neck.

A/N:I CANNOT stand Shad/Mina pairings...so,like Sally,that bitch is gonna die.This time Rouge is going to have fun.Any ideas my oh so wise reviewers?And also,don't you think she deserves to die?Told you earlier,not for Mina,or Sally lovers.What really sickens me is that when people do put Shad/Mina pairings,and he's never even met her!WTF!Anyway,hope you liked the chapter.Oh,umm anybody have any objections to this preview?

'Two worlds seperated by law and hatred are only meant to collide.For centuries,Vampires and Demons have always been against one another.Long ago it was said that the two nations were signing a treaty to join forces,after a hand shake and a few trusting words,both nation's leaders turned to leave.No one knows which one turned and striked back.But,it has been the root for all problems.Now what happens when the Princess of Vampires falls for the ruthless Prince of Demons,will sparks fly between the two of them together?Or will blood fly first for the deep hatred. Shadouge,Sonamy,KnuxTikal'. I plan on making it after I'm done with this story,which the thing is,this story's end will probably in the next 5 or six chapters.First I must think of the best possible ending,find picture for profiles,this way you can see what everyone looks like.Well,are you intrested in my new one?

A/N 2 :And the award for the top two reviewers goes to Entoxica,and Xenoxanga (cheers and applause).And our third place is Hidgeeatgrapes,although I'd like to hear from them.I'm leaving Wensday and not coming back till thursday night,so you can hold out for an update till friday right?
