Maria's Return-Part 8 The fight for the Girl

Shadow and Maria where curled up on the couch together watching "Ring's Of Fortuna" on T.V. "Well stop assing around answer the bloody question!" Shadow yelled at the T.V. "Oh everyone knows that the 2nd Mobian President was Theodore Hedgyvelt!" Maria blurted out. They have been together for five days now. Five wonderful days of talking till late at night, cooking dinner together and undisturbed mind-blowing sex! Shadow never thought that he could love someone as much as he loved Maria, he was happier than he'd ever been before, and he was sure that everyone else was happy for him! And they where all happy for Shadow and Maria's relationship-everyone except Sonic that is! He was jealous of Shadow, he liked Maria too and he wasn't about to give her up without a fight! Tails knew how Sonic felt and he had tried many times to convince him to back down and let Shadow have her. "But he's a menace and he's uncaring and inconsiderate. He doesn't love her and he never will not like I do!" Sonic was on another rant about Maria and Shadow Tails had, had, enough Sonic was slightly drunk too "Sonic look their together now just let it go bro!" "Oh so your on their side now are you!" Sonic spat at him "I thought that you where supposed to be my friend!" He got up and walked away "I guess I need to pick my friends a bit better in the future!" and he sped towards his next destination.

Maria and Shadow where once again in bed together-round 200-"Oh… God that was… amazing!" Maria gasped out Shadow chuckled "Your amazing I love you." "I love you too Shadow! We should probably start dinner it's almost 8:00 pm!" Maria said like it was high priority "Yeah we should" Shadow said climbing back on top of Maria kissing her neck teasing her with his tongue. She moaned she was back under his spell "I guess dinner can wait another hour" Maria giggled. Then they heard a knock at the door. "Ugh Damnit" Shadow started to get up but Maria stopped him "Oh babe just ignore it they'll go away eventually! Just come back to bed" Shadow looked out the window. It was Sonic "Not if I know some people!" he put Maria's dressing gown on again hoping Sonic would get the message. He opened the door Sonic took one look at him and swung a punch at him. Shadow grabbed Sonic's fist in mid air "Whoa Sonic are you drunk what are you doing!" Shadow pushed him away "You don't deserve Maria. She deserves better than you, you fucking scumbag!" Sonic slurred out-Shadow was right he was drunk! "Hey… look… stop!" Shadow had to keep dodging attacks from the drunk blue maniac. "You don't love her, your only interested in the sex!" Sonic spat at Shadow. "HOW DARE YOU!" Shadow was pissed off now he kicked Sonic to the floor. Sonic punched him in the face, Shadow retaliated by elbowing Sonic in the stomach.

Maria heard what was going on she threw on Shadow's dressing gown and ran downstairs. Shadow was on the floor blood dripping from his arm-Sonic had pushed him into the glass coffee table, and he was looming dangerously over him-"Stop Sonic what are you doing" Maria yelled at him "Maria go back upstairs let me handle this creep!" Shadow instructed, but before she could move Sonic grabbed her arm tight refusing to let go "Ow Sonic your hurting me! Stop just let go!" Maria was trying to break free but the more she squirmed the tighter his grip became "Now Shadow you're gonna stay down here while Maria and I go upstairs and have some fun understand!" Sonic was drunk and determined not a good combo! "Let go of her Sonic She doesn't want you and she never will. So I suggest you let go of her…NOW!" Shadow was losing his patience, "Well let's let Maria decide who she wants then!" Sonic said and shoved Maria in between Sonic and himself "Chose!" Sonic yelled at Maria. She ran to him and embraced him she started to cry burying herself into his chest fur "Just get rid of him please!" Maria sobbed how dare Sonic make Maria cry "Well you heard the lady Sonic! Get out" Sonic didn't budge he pulled a gun from the pocket of his own dressing gown that Maria was wearing. He loaded the barrel and pointed it at Sonic "MOVE NOW!" Sonic sped out of the door. Maria was still crying "Is he gone?" Maria asked her voice trembling, Shadow was slowly stroking the back of her head trying to calm her down "Yes my love he won't dare set foot here again, if he does I'll protect you. Shhhh don't cry it's alright I'm here. You're safe now." Shadows words made her calmer "Come on let's go upstairs you must be exhausted." Maria was worried about Shadow as he was slightly bruised and blood was coming from a wound in his arm from where Sonic pushed Shadow into the glass coffee table. "I'm fine Maria I'll be up in a minute just let me clear up this glass and-" he was cut off by Maria-she never liked seeing Shadow in pain-putting her hands over the wound and bruises "Chaos Heal!" she yelled and the next thing he knew the wound and the bruises were gone as if they never happened! "Maria how… how did you do… that!?" Shadow asked he had never heard of Chaos Heal before! "To be honest I… I don't know!" Maria was looking down at her hands. He noticed her Necklace glowing in a way that necklaces weren't met to glow. "Maria your Necklace it's glowing!" "Oh!" Maria gasped out and then she collapsed to the floor!
