Sorry, I couldn't think of anything to put in the next chapter to make the next chapter fit together. Also finals and Christmas were crazy. Well, no more excuses *cracks knuckles*. LET'S WRITE!

Shadow's pov

I couldn't believe my eyes. Mephiles was here, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! I tried to smile the best I could with the gag. I was so happy, I almost tried to run up to him, but the tugging on my collar brought me back to reality. I looked to Sonic and scooted closer to him. He patted me on the head and my ears folded down. "She seems so happy to see you, Mephiles." Sonic said with a hiss. I whimpered and got closer to the ground that I almost curled into a ball.

"Well, she would be as I treat her with respect and not just as a sex toy." Mephiles stated also with a hiss. He came up to me and scratched behind my ear gently and patted my head. I purred as he did those signs of affection. Sadly, he left my side and sat right in front of Sonic's desk. "Now, what will it take to get her back in my...ownership?" I knew he didn't mean it as it sounded. He just wants me back at his side again.

Mephiles pov

Sonic laughed at what I said. I narrowed my eyes, a growl nearly leaving my throat. I looked at Shadow and saw that she was scared but her eyes showed just how happy she really was with a twinkle in her eye. I looked back at Sonic as he said "Well, I'd hate to give up such a wonderful slave-". He patted Shadow's head, but she pulled away from him. It looked as if she wanted to growl but feared punishment after I leave if she dosen't come with me. "-but maybe I'll let her visit you from time to time. HAHAHA!"

This time I did growl out loud. "Sonic, be serious. I want Shadow back now and I will fight for her if necessary." I growled out. Sonic froze and just stared at me a good five minutes, I held a glare the whole time. Finally, Sonic said "You want her that bad, well, so do I. And yes why don't we fight for her. Right here and now!" I was about to do just that but Shadow moaned loudly, obviously trying to get my attention, but caught both of ours instead.

Normal pov

Both Sonic and Mephiles looked at Shadow. She wildly shook her head and made a 'uh-uh' sound over and over. Clearly saying, no to what they were about to do. "Well, it seems our little damsel doesn't think that fighting is a good idea right now." After hearing this from Sonic, Shadow nodded her head saying 'uh-huh'. Mephiles moved to pet Shadow and move her hair out of her eyes. Mephiles, after giving it some thought, said "Why not joust for her, winner takes her. It would be private and no one would watch except Blaze as a witness." Sonic then took some time to think it over.

Shadow, on the other hand, was scared and hoped that Mephiles won. That was all she could do. Finally, Sonic agreed and both set even conditions. Sadly, soon after that was done, Mephiles had to leave. He kissed Shadow goodbye, scratched behind her ear and left though very reluctantly. However, Sonic soon started leaving, bringing Shadow with him.

Sonic brought Shadow into the king sized bathroom (no pun intended). He started removing both his and Shadow's clothes. Well, bonds in Shadows case. He left the collar and gag in place and Sonic started cleaning them both off. Which was very uncomfortable for Shadow scene she couldn't wash her own privents.

Then she did something she never thought she'd do, she hit Sonic in the face as he tried to clean her privates. She was so shocked that all she could do was brace herself for a slap or punch. So it was shock that all that Sonic did was laugh. "You have a lot of spunk, no wonder Meph wants you back and too bad he won't be getting you back. I'll make sure of that."
