Sonic pov
Shadow had been glaring at me for hours now. Maybe I went too far, but he could have pulled away….in the end that is. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it, in fact I loved it. His fur was so soft along with the wings. Even the quills deeper inside was soft, but the outer ones were dangerous. Shame I didn't get the chance to touch that white chest fur though. I blinked as I realized my thoughts have been all about the black hedgehog. Why had I developed this attraction to him? Maybe the emerald was the reason for it, but I didn't mind it. But I really don't swing that way.
I wonder what Shadow was thinking. He seemed pretty innocent to this stuff, that was pretty cute. I shake my head I shouldn't think about this stuff. We had a loose demon on the run that obviously was aiming high. I sighed and let my head rest on the table.
We were sitting in the kitchen, Knuckles had returned without success and he was just as annoyed as Shadow. The only time Shadow had stopped glaring at me was when he introduced himself to the echidna. Knuckles was a bit disturbed at first because of his eye but soon got used to it.
We had finally gotten some food…Well open the fridge pull out everything eatable and eat. Shame there wasn't any chillidogs here, Shadow however wasn't eating much. I guess earlier event was on his mind. Okay….so the plan was to make him feel comfortable but I couldn't even do that. Maybe rubbing his anal wasn't really the best way to make him comfortable. But it made me comfortable… Wait what?…I mentally facepalm at that thought. My brain sometimes…
Knuckles noticed the tension as he shoved down another sandwich.
"Can someone explain what happened between you two?" Knuckles asked while chewing on the sandwich. He leaned back on the fridge and glanced at us. Shadow crossed his arms and just let out an "hmph". Oh I was not going to tell knucklehead what happened! Besides I doubt Shadow wanted that either. So I decided to lie, I am getting pretty good at that.
"We just had a very horrible day in that dungeon…and I guess it was my fault for it." I sighed which actually was true, apart from the fact that it wasn't why Shadow was glaring though. Shadow remained silent , I guess I had to talk to him later. But talking wasn't my strong side I was more for action! And see how that went…
"Tell me the details…" Knuckles said before he picked up another sandwich. How much can he eat!? No wait I can eat more than him…never mind. I cleared my throat before I told him everything that had happen. But I avoided the details of Shadows torture, I was sure he wasn't too keen to hear the story after it had just occurred not long ago. Shadow just remained silent on the chair and looked out from the window. This bothered me, I didn't want to make him upset.
"So Silver is now searching for the other emeralds?" Knuckles groaned as I nodded. It wasn't the first time villains tried to collect them. They were powerful together but why take one each?
"So he is going to use them on….Shadow?" The hedgehog reacted to his name that was mentioned and looked at the echidna. He hadn't kept up with the conversation so I decided to cover for him.
"It seems to be that way. As I said Silver caused Shadow to get wings and a reptile eyes. But the demon also mentioned that it wasn't completed sort of and needed the other emeralds." I said and Shadow looked away again as he felt like he wasn't needed for this conversation. Knuckles scratched his muzzle as he was deep in thought.
"First time I have heard someone using the emeralds in such way." He muttered and sat down beside me and stared at the ebony hedgehog.
"Shadow what are you?" This caught Shadows attention again, he looked like he wasn't sure if he should answer or not. Of course he was hiding something but to force it out didn't feel right. Shadow took a deep breath before he answered.
"I am an angel." Me and knuckles was just staring at him in confusion, he was an angel!? He didn't look anything like an angel! But that did explain why he was immortal, plus recovered quickly. He really was an interesting hedgehog in my taste. He bit his lower lip before he open his mouth to speak again.
"But I guess you could call me a demon…An angel that live on earth is considered a demon. My birth name..is Mephiles but I prefer to be called Shadow. I am not Mephiles anymore, but that's what Silver claims he wants to back." So many questions came to my mind he was an angel from heaven huh.
"Why are you on earth?" Knuckles asked, I was curious to know as well why Shadow was here.
"I killed some angels…unintentionally. So Tikal cast me down to earth, why she choose to throw angels that sinned to earth is beyond me so don't ask."
"Tikal! You have met Tikal?" Knuckles got bewildered hearing that, I didn't know much about the goddess but Knuckles mentioned her a few times. Shadow nodded with a frown I assume didn't like to speak about her.
"She created me…I guess my mother in a sense."
"How old are you?" I had to ask I was more curious about Shadow himself not about the goddess.
"A few centuries I lost count." Shadow answered and I smirked amused with the new discovery. He was confused with my expression and looked uncomfortable again.
"But you are still much smaller than me." Shadow frowned as his size was compared with me. I had to point it out though because it was pretty funny actually. There was quite a size difference between us, I guess he felt insulted but I just thought it was cute. I smiled innocently as he glared at me again.
"Silver is the first angel and the most powerful one as well. But he turned to a….evil demon now." Knuckles nodded understanding while I just kept my smile wide.
"What relationship do you have with Silver?" The echidna asked and I could sense that the question bothered him.
"He was my master." Shadow replied quickly and didn't think through his words. I was trying hard not to laugh it sounded so wrong. I hunched over and quietly laughed.
"Not like that!" Shadow snapped as I struggled to stop laughing. Knuckles gave me a hard punch out of the blue, I fell off the chair and landed on the floor painfully.
"What the hell!?" I growled and glared at knuckles who just shrugged innocently.
"Don't mind him he is always like this." Knuckles said to shadow who nodded. I guess I deserved that punch though.
"I will call Tails…we need the plane and the tools to fix your skates." I pointed out and left the kitchen to search for the phone.
Knuckles pov
I wasn't sure what to think of this angel or demon. He looked more like a demon though but didn't seem to be lying. Tikal never mentioned him to me, why did she keep such important information? But I haven't heard much from her lately guess she couldn't be bothered with us mortals at the moment. Plus I couldn't really force her to show up.
"Do you know what Silver is planning?" I asked because I couldn't come up with a reason why the demon would gather up the emeralds to bring out the angel side of Shadow? It didn't make sense at all.
"I have an hunch.." Shadow said low in deep thought. I crossed my arms waiting for his response it was important. Because if Tikal sealed that demon then Silver must have a pretty good reason why he is gathering the emeralds.
"I think he wants me to change into my crystal form." I blinked confused not quite understanding what that meant.
"What is that?" Shadow sighed and tapped his finger to the table. I assumed wasn't the easiest thing to explain then?
"You have a paper and pen?" He asked, it was a confusing request but I went to get the material. I gave it to the angel and he quickly started to draw? He soon finished and showed me. My violet eyes widened at the drawing. It was a hedgehog who was covered in crystals on its quills hands and legs. It had blood shot eyes and reptile orbs. It didn't have a mouth and just screamed "EVIL" So that was his crystal form. It was the most terrifying drawing I have seen.
"Why would he want that?" I asked trying to pretend that the drawing didn't disturb me. Shadow shrugged and just looked at his drawing he made.
"It is a very powerful…form. I am not aware of its capability…"
"But how do you know that it's powerful?" Shadow gritted his teeth and soon closed his eyes.
"I killed tons of angels in that form, I was not conscious when that happened though. Silver is one of the angels that survived and saw my crystal form in action. That's when I was casted down to earth."
I felt pity for the angel, it all seemed like a mistake. But Tikal wasn't known to make mistakes, or maybe I just didn't know her well enough. But then again maybe Shadow kept something from me?
Sonic returned to the kitchen and stretched his arms before he spotted the drawing.
"Oh man! That's cool! Looks pretty creepy, who made it?" Sonic asked eagerly as he picked up the paper and took a closer look at it.
"Shadow." I answered since the ebony hedgehog didn't seem like he was going to answer. I can understand that why he was pissed with the hero, I couldn't imagine being stuck in a dungeon with only him as company.
"Shadow draw me!" Sonic suddenly said and sat down on the chair making retard poses. I shake my head in disbelief.
"I don't have time with this." I muttered and left the two hogs alone.
Shadow pov
I gritted my teeth I didn't want to be alone with the hedgehog again. He stopped his ridiculous poses and just looked at me with a cocky smirk…Why me? I tried think of anything than what happened before but I couldn't. The thought of Sonics fingers touching me came back to me like a bullet. I felt the blush return damn it! I put the paper in front of me trying to pretend I was watching the drawing I just made. Why did knuckles leave now!? I needed some distraction not from the blue idiot! Luckily it soon faded as he suddenly pulled down the paper in front of me.
"Don't you have to see me to draw me? Or maybe I am on your mind enough, so you have memorized my good looks?" Sonic was enjoying this tease, why didn't it end? But then again this shouldn't affect me in the first place. I sighed and tried to recollect my senses, the hedgehog was testing me.
"I didn't say I was going to draw you." I pointed out and put down the paper on the table. He just leaned back and observed me. What was he looking for? He smiled innocently but I knew that innocent was the last thing he is.
"Well…we could do something else." I didn't want to know what he was going to suggest but took the paper quickly and started to sketch. He chuckled at my reaction but remained silent for once, but that didn't last for long. I hadn't looked at the hero once and he suddenly decided to speak.
"So you don't need to see me. You already have a good picture in your head of me." I realized my mistake and blushed at the comment. I tried to ignored it and continue with the drawing.
"Don't give me the silent treatment…It's cute that you think of me." I snapped the pen in half and glared at him. He was unfazed with the anger I was trying to contain.
"One thing for sure hedgehog I am not cute! And it's hard to avoid thinking about an idiot that have been following me ever since we crashed on this damn island!" I pointed the remaining pen at him and he simply rolled his eyes.
"Did you like it?" I looked at him in confusion, I didn't expect that question and crossed my arms. Why was he so curious of my thoughts?
"I don't like to think about you!" I growled and he shakes his head as if I misunderstood him. He gave me another one of those cocky grins. I hated them already, it made me feel like he knew something I didn't.
"No what I meant did you like the bath?" I blushed as the thoughts returned again, damn that hedgehog! I swear that he is not going to die by old age if he keeps this up. Why did he even ask it to begin with? He should already know the answer, did he need it confirmed or something?
"Of course not! What do you think hedgehog?!" I glared at him but didn't see anything else than that smug smile. He stood up and approached me, I wasn't sure if I should get up. I didn't want him near me again but he didn't seem to care.
"I think you are lying." he replied and put a hand on the table and blocking an escape route. I looked up to him with a glare. What was he planning now? He wasn't going to touch me again was he?
"Are you going to tell me the truth?" Sonic tapped his finger on the table and still had that damn smug smile on his lips.
"I already told you the truth mortal!" I hissed and yelped as he put his other hand on my shoulder and rubbed it slightly. I froze, was he serious? I gritted my teeth but kept my glare intact.
"Either I find out what you liked or you tell me now what it was, your choice." Okay he was serious, I looked away and tested my energy but it was still to low…damn it. I really didn't want him to touch me again and I don't think I could push him away. I knew I would regret it but I did it anyways.
"I liked it when you rubbed my head, but I loved it when you touched my wings!" I forced out and felt the blush creep up again. He removed his hand from my shoulder but instead patted my head gently. Why did he have to be so damn…annoying!? Sonic soon stopped and went back to his seat. He put up his sneakers on the table and leaned back.
"You loved it huh." My eyes widened, I used my words wrong again! Our eyes met and I could tell he was satisfied with my answer. I felt uncomfortable and warm again, what was up with the temperature today!? I tighten my fists as he observed me for a while before he suddenly chuckled.
"You know….I was not going to touch you I was just messing with you." He smirked and I felt tricked, he made me say those things and it was all a joke!? I growled at him but this just seemed to further amuse him.
"Don't get me wrong I wanted to know. Plus I guess you wouldn't mind if I touch your cute little wings again." I know it's pitiful but I did it anyways, I threw the pen straight in to his face taking him by surprise. He yelped as it hit his forehead before it fell to the floor. The mortal rubbed his forehead but didn't attack me noo… Sonic just smiled at me.
"And here you are trying to convince me that you are not cute."
"That's it!" I stood up in haste and was just about to attack him but was interrupted by a pink hedgehog. She just ran in to the kitchen and without warning glomped the hero.
"Sonikkuu! I missed you so much why did you leave me!?" She yelled although she was just beside him. He was trying to push her away but for some reason couldn't, he just smiled nervously. Who was this hog? Sonic hadn't mentioned this hedgehog so assumed it wasn't his girlfriend or was she? What I do know is that I was enjoying the show. Sonic was uncomfortable with the clinging hedgehog and turned his eyes to me like bleeding for help. A wide smirk spread on my lips, HAH! Revenge! He frowned with my reaction before he looked back to the female.
"Amy…I was busy." The pink hedgehog just pouted in childish manners. Yep I now understood why he didn't mention her.
"Why didn't you call me?" She whined with her so annoying pitchy voice. Someone put a gag on her! Why didn't he just push her away? Was this hedgehog really that strong?
"I don't have a phone you know that." He tried to calm her down but without success. Her green eyes scanned Sonics body and suddenly a hammer appeared in her hand.
"Who dare to hurt my SONIC?!"She yelled out of the blue I assume she saw the bruises on his body. Sonic tried to calm her down but she started to swing the hammer around like that would help. She needs serious help…
The hammer was going towards me but I just put up my left hand and stopped it. I yanked it out from her hands easily and glared at the female.
"Stop playing with toys its annoying." I frowned before I dropped it to the floor, Sonic gave me a thankful expression. Damn I shouldn't have interacted I liked it better when he was in her mercy.
"Who are you!?" She yelled and pointed at me like I hadn't been here all along. I didn't want to answer the female hog. But she was interrupted by Tails who couldn't have chosen a more appropriate time to show up.
"Hey guys! Look what I got." Amy frowned as Tails appeared out of blue and crossed her path with a plastic bag. He picked up what looked like a watch and some familiar tools I needed.
"Sweet bro you got the emerald detector!" Sonic ruffle his hair, Tails nodded as he activated it and moved it for Sonic to see. I shrugged it off and instead pulled off my skates to fix them.
"WHY DOES EVREYONE IGNORE ME!?" Amy screams to a point I had to cover my ears. Attention freak much.
"Sorry Amy…" Sonic scratched behind his ear, he actually apologized! My eyes was wide in shock, why did he act like that in front of her and to me….Not even sure what to call it.
"Come Sonic I found some beautiful flowers before can't you pick them up for me?" Is she serious? If she wanted the flowers why didn't she pick them up herself? She pulled him out from the kitchen and I didn't see any resistance from the hero. That was very odd...And why did I suddenly feel angry?
