Sonic pov

I am not sure how many hours I spent carrying Shadow in my arms. But we finally got out from the dungeon. I let go of the torch as I walked across the temple floor. The building seemed to change each second as if it was falling apart. Thankfully we hadn't stayed much longer to get crushed under it. I had no idea what was going on but whatever it was it wasn't good, Silver is planning something big. Hopefully Shadow know what he is talking about….My eyes widened as I saw a familiar echidna that was standing amongst the ruins.

"Knuckles!" I shouted and waved to him knuckles stomped over to my side, he was anything but happy.

"What the hell Sonic!?" He started and tried hard not to punch me since I was holding the hedgehog. He tightens his fists and was boiling in anger, what had I done to piss him off? Instead he threw his punches at the ruins that just collapsed. Wow he was moody today.

"Are you okay knuckles?" I had to ask but that just caused his violet eyes to glare at me. Okay I have pissed him off countless of times, but this time I had no idea what the fuss was all about. Was he still mad at me for waking him up with a bucket of water last week? I put so much effort into that! I had to get a bucket then I had to go near a river and fill it up! And that took a lot of courage but it was worth it.

"I see a bunch of demons flood out from the holy land, I knew someone had released them…! Of course it was you! You have any idea what you have done!?" He stomped his foot repeatedly as if he was going to break it.

"Wait how did you know there were demons in this place?" He crossed before he closed his eyes and soon sighed. I was impressed that knuckles were trying to calm down, other times he would attack me.

"Tikal the goddess once told me that a strong demon was sealed in the temple of Enchar. My duty was to make sure no intruders' released them…And I have failed her!" Knuckles punched another ruin then another then another into this looked like a wasteland.

"Calm down Knuckles, we will catch that demon." Sonic assured the echidna which calmed him down but was still panting in frustration. His violet eyes turned to the black hedgehog in my arms and frowned.

"Who is that?" I looked down on Shadow who had managed to sleep peacefully through Knuckles rampage fit.

"Shadow the hedgehog. He is the owner of S.E.G.A. industry." Knuckles took a closer look and got disgusted by the dried blood on his pelt.

"I don't see any wounds why is it blood covering him?" I gritted my teeth as I recall the horrible images of the torture Shadow went through.

"The demon…attacked him and used the chaos emerald to heal him I think? I am not sure what happened." I answered and showed the dead emerald in front of the guardian. He simply frowned at its state and snatched it out from my hands.

"You idiot! You went down there with the emerald!? " I smiled nervously as I knew Knuckles wouldn't like the story.

"No no nooo…you got it all wrong..I dropped the emerald and it rolled all the way down to the dungeon." I laughed nervously as I could see fire flare from his body in fury.

"You are unbelievable! Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now!?" He pointed his fists at me ready to strike, I guess he got bored of the ruins.

"Well…Shadow need rest and how can I stop the demon if I am dead or heavily damage…plus you would miss me too much." I grinned as he muttered something to himself.

"By the way where are we?"

"You don't know?" I rolled my eyes and before I shake my head. I wouldn't ask if I did but I didn't bother to point it out. It would only end up with a rampage knuckles again.

"Angel island, how did you get here in the first place?" I recall the prank I did on Shadow before and smiled innocently. I was going to keep that to myself though.

"Accident.. We sort of fell out from the plane." Knuckles started to laugh, it must been the first time he have heard me crash land. I have of course fallen out from the plane before but Tails always managed to save me.

"Ha ha laugh all you want." I frowned and looked down to the sleeping hog again. Why hadn't he woken up yet? It wasn't like he hadn't gotten any sleep in fact he got more sleep than he needed. He was fully healed after all but I did not intend to wake him up, although I want answers.

"I need to go back to the master emerald and try to fix ….this emerald…You should join me. Because you know..you don't look to good yourself." He pointed out, it was now I realized I had bruises all over my body. I had ignored that completely and yes they hurt but nothing was broken.

"Aww do you care about me knuckles?" I grinned and he just snorted at it and walked away without another word. I guess I pressed the buttons and he couldn't be bother with my taunts. I didn't know we were so close the master emerald but I was thankful that we were. And here I thought it was far away considering how Knuckles hadn't met us in the dungeon instead of outside…maybe he is lazy today? Either way I was thankful that he showed up.

We soon arrived to the stairs of the altar for the master emerald. It was now I noticed Shadow groaning in despair and tugged my fur as if he was in pain. Knuckles noticed this and sighed at the signs.

"He is sensitive to master emerald…It will hurt him if you get closer. Sonic I am going to try recovering the emerald and that can take a while. You can take Shadow to my house in the meanwhile….But don't you dare break anything!" He ended before he walked up the stairs and again muttering something.

I shrugged it off, I would rather leave than watch Knuckles meditate with the rocks or whatever he did. So I took my leave and soon found his so called "house" I didn't care to enter it before. Plus the echidna rarely slept in it anyways, and I always went to angel island if I wanted to speak to him or prank him.

I entered the house that only contained toilet,bedroom,livingroom and a kitchen. All he needed I guess, but I doubt he was using it much. To my surprise it was rather clean, I hoped knucklehead wouldn't mind if I put Shadow on the bed. But I was sure he would whine about the dirty sheets later like a woman.

But just as I put him down on the bed he opened his eyes slowly. Did I wake him up? So now when he can sleep on a comfortable bed he wakes up. Maybe he liked to sleep in my arms? I mentally chuckled at that.

"Ah..where am I? Sonic..?" He asked and looked up to me and there it was, his right eye was reptile just as I recall it before he went to sleep. Silver did something to him but I didn't back away even if it looked pretty scary. Shadow groaned as he moved his body to sit up on the bed.

"We are in knuckles home…well it seems we are on Angel island." He looked at me confused maybe he didn't know what that was? But he sure looked tired even after sleeping so long. Shadow nodded and put his hand on his head rubbing it slightly. I guess he had a painful headache judging on his grimace when he touched it.

"Shadow…I am not sure what Silver did to you..but you have a reptile eye." I said and pointed to his right eye which made him close it quickly and look rather scared. That made me frown I didn't get a closer look on it plus what if it was damaged?

"Shadow…let me look at it." I said gently but he just shook his head and brought up a hand to further cover it. I wasn't big fan to use force, but it was for his own safety. I at first gently took his hand that was covering it. Shadows other hand took a tight grip on my wrist trying to pull it away.

"Don't Sonic…" He growled threatening as his black quills rose upwards. I could tell he was much weaker than before, he must be drained out. Since he didn't cooperate I decided to use force. I didn't have to put much effort to it and easily pinned him down. Shadow struggle under me similar like last time. I removed his hand but he kept his eyelid shut.

"Shadow I do rather not pull your eyelid up…So stop being so stubborn and open it. " I said with a serious tone I guess he wasn't quite used to. He open his eye slowly and soon revealed it. I could tell he was ashamed especially when he focused the reptile eyes away from mine. I didn't see any signs of damages but the eye itself was fascinating. Shadow finally met my eyes and looked a bit pained.

"Can you let me go? My back hurts." He admitted and I quickly pulled away. Wait his back hurts? So he was still damaged. He sat up and looked down to the floor avoiding eye contact.

"Show me your back." I said and got no reaction at first but he soon enough turned around. I was surprised to see a pair of tiny wings revealing itself. It took me by surprise, they were black just like Shadow. I reached out and touched them without asking first. Shadow flinched and started to tremble as I gently looked at any signs of damages.

They were so soft and cute actually. But this just added more questions. There were no wounds on them so assumed he was fine and probably just sore. I bet I would be in pain if suddenly wings grew out. At first I didn't thought he could move them but they soon flexed out as my fingers let go of them.

He soon turned and looked away again. Man did it really bother him that much? I mean sure it was weird…but I had seen mobians with wings…Okay I have never seen a hedgehog with wings..But that's beside the point! However they were too tiny to be used. Maybe that's why Silver said it wasn't completed before?

All I knew though was that Shadow didn't enjoy the situation.

"You know Shadow…" I started and finally he gave me eye contact and looked rather nervous.

"Your wings are pretty cute." I grinned as I saw him blush although he glared at me this time.

"Shut up faker!" He growled but still had that cute blush on his muzzle. I couldn't help myself but to enjoy his discomfort, beside I didn't say anything bad neither did I lie. I decided to go further even though I probably shouldn't.

"Come on they are tiny soft and fluffy of course they are cute." I added and his blush just increased before he looked away. His reaction was adorable and here I thought the hedgehog was downright rude.

"I told you to shut up." He muttered loud enough for me to hear, I rolled my eyes before I gripped his jaw gently and pulled him to look at me. I wanted to see more of that blush for some reason. I know I was a bit to close but I personally didn't mind.

"Those cute wings suit you." I said honestly and smiled as I could see his embarrassment. I felt his muzzle getting warm under my touch and I decided to let him go. Now he had something interesting to think about instead of pain. I would rather wait to ask him questions since it wasn't long ago he was tortured after all. Shadow sat nervously and rubbed his fingers against each other.

I didn't expect him to say anything, he was completely speechless. Damn why was he so cute? I didn't even mind that eye. He flinched as my eyes looked up and down on his body.

His pelt was still covered in blood and so was mine because I had carried him. Shadow looked away again but remained silent.

"Shadow let's take a spa." He looked up at me in confusion. I wanted him to feel comfortable he needed it more than anyone at the moment. And I couldn't come up with a better idea than that.

"A spa? Here?" Shadow asked curious where that was located. I nodded and sat down beside him this made him feel uncomfortable though. Not my intention but I couldn't help he was still embarrassed with my words before.

"Yes like..Iceland..Blue lagoon have you ever been there? But this one is natural and not handmade"

"I see.." He answered and I surprised him by pulling him up to his legs. Shadow was still weak and was slightly shaking when he took a step. I felt sorry for him but he soon yanked his hand from me and growled.

"Warn me next time you pull that stunt." And this time made eye contact making sure I knew he was serious. I put up my hands and smiled.

"I will keep that in my mind. Now follow me!" I said and slowly walked towards the spa, I looked behind me making sure he kept up with me. In worst case I would have to carry him. I actually wasn't a big fan of water in fact I hate it! But the spa was pretty shallow…Plus I did it for Shadow I owed him that considering what pain he went through because of me.

"Do you want me to carry you?" I asked and received a growl again, I guess not. I mentally chuckled and soon arrived to the pool of water. The steam was enough to tell that it was hot, but not too hot of course. Shadow observed the water and looked insecure again, did that torture affect him mentally that much? I had to ask him later but not press into details. Clearly it was very sensitive subject.

"So do you need help to take off your…cloths?" I couldn't help to grin when the blush returned again. Was I going too far with this?

"Of course not!" He hissed before he crossed his arms in frustration, Yep I was pressing the buttons. I knew this water wasn't exactly clean as a shower but a hot water spring felt so much better.

"Fine with me, I am just going to pick up some stuff be right back!"

Shadow pov

The mortal suddenly ran off leaving me here in this steaming water. I went down to my knees and touched it. It felt comfortable and I would actually like to take a bath in it, much better than a lake. I slowly took off my rings and put them aside I knew I had to wash those too but I didn't want to do it in this hot water.

I pulled off my skates and gloves and was completely naked. Not that it was much of attire really, but I wasn't used feel so exposed. I have been a bit disturbed of the fact that I couldn't change my green reptile eye. Something prevented it probably whatever Silver did to me. My small wings also refused to fully grow out when I commanded them to. Silver always had a reason and why he wanted me to get back my form was beyond me. I also suspected I needed the chaos emerald to be able to change back.

Suddenly Sonic was back he was holding some bottles I assumed were shampoo and conditioner. He scanned my body causing me to blush once more, what the hell? I hadn't even entered the water but I already felt warm. My heart was pounding faster as he was taking off his gloves and sneakers. I was getting sick? But that shouldn't be impossible! I am an Angel immortal! Maybe Silver did something to me? That must be it. But my blush soon faded.

"Like what you see?" He asked me suddenly, I didn't even realize I had been looking at him longer than I should. I frowned at his question and shake my head in frustration. Was Sonic always like this?

"Who would like to see you faker!?" I growled before I went down to the water hoping it would calm down my nerves. I relaxed in the water and let my eyelids fall down. The mortal soon joined me much to my dislike.

"You don't look to bad as well Shadow." Great my blush returned again why do these words affect me? I looked down to the water and felt much warmer than the water itself. I could tell he was smirking did he enjoy it that much? He soon dipped his head under the water and came back up. I did the same and felt most of the dried blood leaves my fur. I relaxed and just sat there, Sonic suddenly sat up on the edge.

He picked up the bottles and squeezed out the shampoo on his palm before rubbing it into his fur. I sighed before I was up beside him, he handed me the bottle and so I could do the same. Sonic was quickly done with both shampoo and conditioner, I was still rubbing in the shampoo. It was kind a hard since there was still blood stuck to it. My front was soon covered with white shampoo. But I was struggling to get my quills since I was still weak.

"Care if I help you with your back?" Sonic asked and gently smiled, I looked at him suspicious but I didn't see any signs of double meaning so I nodded. He went behind me and pressed out some more shampoo into my quills. I relaxed as his fingers skillfully dig into my quills, it felt wonderful. He soon moved his hands to my shoulders and pressures them slightly and began to massage me? I didn't complain and sighed content with the feeling. He did that for a while and suddenly stopped and leaned towards my right ear.

"Now I am going to take your cute wings." My eyes widened and blushed again damn that hedgehog! Why did he mention them all the time was they really that cute!? I was speechless once more and felt his hands gently pull one wing upwards to reveal its feathers. His fingers carefully rubbed in the foam into my feathers, it made me flinch. It didn't hurt at all instead felt quite pleasant actually.

His attention turned to the other one and did the same. But what I didn't notice was that my tail started to wag. I only heard Sonic chuckle behind me but didn't bother to ask. Soon the wings was finished and he began to rub it into my back this is where things was getting uncomfortable.

My body froze as he went lower. I tried to relax my body but it proved to be harder than I thought. I felt his finger finally reach my tail and began to rub in the shampoo. I didn't resist and would let him finish. He had covered the upper part of the tail before he began to play with it between his fingers? I clenched teeth and tried not to be affected by his touch. It was only the tail left after all…I could endure but did he really have to drag it out? Soon he gently pulled the tail upwards and rubs under it. I was getting very uncomfortable now. His right arm suddenly warped around my chest and pulled me back.

"What are you doing?!" I yelled and tried to get out from his grip. My eyes widened as I felt his finger rub against my butthole. I yelped as he kept me still, never had I experienced this. What the hell was the mortal thinking!? What was worse was that I couldn't throw spears at him, my energy was to low! My hands gripped his arms trying to pull them away.

"Calm down I am just cleaning you." He said gently like he wasn't crossing the line but it did for me!

"LET ME GO FAKER!" I growled and tried to headbutt him but didn't reach. My legs were splashing into the water and I dig my nails into his arms. It hurt him for sure but he didn't let go.

"I CAN CLEAN MYSELF DOWN THERE!" I yelled and just heard him sigh. He had stopped rubbing me but still had his arm wrapped around me.

"Can you see yourself down there when you clean it?" I was taken aback from the question and wasn't sure if I should continue to yell at him.

"I..eh..no…I cant.." I answered confused with the situation.

"And you said I could clean your back and that includes that." He added which made me shake my head.

"I guess..BUT! It's up for me to decide! And besides! Why did you wrap your arm around to prevent me from moving?! You knew I wouldn't like it!" I countered and heard him sigh.

"Yes, but you are so stubborn. Plus I would have done it quickly." I remained silent and looked down to my reflection. Damn that hedgehog for making me so embarrassed.

"Will you allow me to finish?" He asked waiting patiently for my answer. Was this really Sonic? He was known to lose patience quickly. Question was did he like to do this or was this just for cleaning? I wasn't sure anymore.

"Fine…" I growled and knew that I would regret this decision. But it was already too late Sonic had already touched me down there. I felt his arms let me go to my relief, it didn't feel forced anymore and I could pull away whenever I wanted to. I gripped the edge of the pool tightly waiting for him to continue.

"Could you move your tail upwards for me?" Yep he enjoyed this and it took all willpower to not kill the mortal right now. But he was just cleaning me right, it was pretty harmless. But who on earth would do this to someone? Maybe it was because of the torture and he wanted to help me? Yeah must be it.

I turned my tail upwards and blushed as I felt his fingers again. I tried really hard to not show my discomfort as he rubbed against it. I can pull away I can pull away I CAN PULL AWAY! I started to shiver nervously as I let this go on. I remember back in the past where Silver would rape me but this was completely different.

"Okay done." He suddenly said and I didn't hesitate but jumped down in the water. I was under the surface for a while trying to not think too much of what Sonic had just done. My blush still remained on my muzzle and I tried to rub it away. I soon got up as I needed oxygen, Sonic was sitting on the edge looking at me.

"It's the last time I allow you to wash my back!"
