Well, I know what I'm doing now so before I forget my ideas, I'll put them on paper

-However, if you want chapter 7, you're gonna hafta tell me this time!

*I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog, Fury and Ryu are mine*

-Now that we've got that established, on with the story!


Fury's POV

"What happened...to me?" Shadow asked weakly.

"You're alive!" I shrieked in happiness. "...And I don't know what happened to you, I thought you would be able to tell me!" Shadow looked at the ceiling and let go of my wrist. "You don't remember anything that happened do you?" I asked quietly, sitting back down on the coffee table. Shadow shook his head. "Are you hurting anywhere?" "All over." He said. I nodded slowly.

After thirty minutes, I left. Man it was late...and it was getting kind of cold for a summer's day.

On the way back to Rotic towers, I thought I heard footsteps behind me, but when I turned around, no one was there. After about a block of walking, I noticed that the footsteps stopped when I stopped and slowed down when I slowed down. Once again, I turned around to see no one there. "Hellooo?" I asked.

No response.

Of course. I thought. Well, that's it for me, no more late night lunches. I continued to walk home.

The footsteps inched their way closer. I whirled around to see...nobody. Now, I was annoyed. I was pretty sure I wasn't going crazy, but if this footsteps buisness continued, I just might be!

"Shadow?" I called down the dark street. When there was no response, I stopped and turned all the way around. "Who's there?" I asked. No response. I grunted. "If you're following me, you should just come out." I said. "But I don't have any money." Again, no response. It must be me, or maybe they're hiding. I sighed. I think I just need some sleep. I turned back around and came face to face with a hedgehog.

"EEEEK!" I screamed, jumpping back, taking fast, unsteady breaths. The hedgehog was a deep shade of purple and had long spikes that resembled Sonic's but they hung down to maybe his shoulders. He had bangs over his right eye. I think his eyes were royal purple. He was dressed like a normal civilian, but hey.

"I'm sorry." He said. His voice sounded familiar. "Did I scare you?" My fear turned into confusion. Noooo. I thought. People just scream EEEEK when they feel like it. "Oh, um...not really." I said. "What's a pretty girl like you doing out here so late at night?" Pretty? Why, I'm flattered. "It can get dangerous at night." He continued. "Well I was-" I quickly shut myself up. I noticed that this guy had on the same necklace as Midnight. This guy could be a creep... I thought. "I was just...I was heading straight home!" I said, slowly walking by him. "Nice to meet you, bye!" I said, sprinting down the street.

I didn't stop running until I got safely to Rotic towers and was panting at the elevators. Never...again. I thought.

Amy was sitting in the living room reading a magazine. "Hey!" She said when I walked in. I couldn't respond, because I was still panting. "Fury?" She asked, worriedly, putting down her magazine. "What's wrong? Are you okay? Do you have asthma or something? What happened?" "...Fine..." I said. "I'm fine..." Amy stood up. "No seriously...I just need...to sleep..." I made my way over to my room.

I collapsed on my bed. For a while, I was staring blankly at the ceiling. Then I turned my head over to my nightstand. My script was sitting there. I stared at it. "This is all your fault..." I said, reaching over and picking up the script. I was flipping through it when I heard the sound of my phone recieving a text message.

I reluctantly picked it up from the floor, (that's where it fell when I collapsed onto my bed) and checked my inbox. The message was from Ryu. So he finally decides to text me. I thought, smiling a little.

Ryu: Is he dead?

Well. That was a rather weird question. Assuming he was talking about Shadow, I wrote back saying: No, he's very much alive, but he doesnt remember wat happend 2 him.

Ryu: Okay...


Me: Hey, what happened with him N E way? I saw U sittin there.

There was no text messages for about ten minutes. I guess he had to go? I thought, getting ready to put down my phone. *ding diding ding*

Ryu: I can't tell you.

Me: ? but y?

Ryu: It's complicated, C u in skool?

Me: ...Yeah, I guess.

Ryu: Cool

Me: ...BTW it's spelled "school."

Ryu: Shut up!

Me: XD G-night!

I put the phone on my nightstand and shoved the script under my bed.

Little did I know the shock I was in for the next day.


I woke up early the next day. Amy had already left for school. (I just don't understand how she's always up before me, even if I'm up at like 3:00 in the morning!) I put on my school uniform and grabbed my lunch. However, I didn't wake up early to get to school on time...

*Ding Dong*

I sat on the steps of Shadow's house and waited for him to open the door. After ten minutes of no response, I knocked again. "Shadow? Are you in there?" I put my hand on the knob and turned it. Surprisingly, the door wasn't locked. That was defenitlely shocking.

I slowly opened the door. "Shadow?" I asked in a mouse voice. "Are you in here?" I opened the door wide enough to come in. When I came in, I just stood in the entrance of Shadow's home and stared. It was pitch dark in there! It felt like 9:00 at night, even though it was 7:00 AM and the sun was shining. Curtains covered the windows. The curtains were made out of heavy material that blocked out the light. That was the first sign something had gone wrong.

Suddenly, I felt saw a yellow blur fly by my face and the door slammed. I jumpped and turned around to see Shadow. Was Shadow always that fast? I thought. That was the second sign something had gone wrong.

Shadow stared down at me. His look wasn't very friendly. In fact, he looked fairly mad. I was surprised I was able to even see him in this darkness. "What are you doing here." He demanded in an icy tone. I stared. "Uh..." I said after a few minutes of awkward silence. "School..." I said dumbly. "I'm not going today." He said sternly. "So you can get out."

I didn't budge. I folded my arms and raised my eyebrow at Shadow. "I'm not joking." He said. "Get out." "I'm not going to let you sit here and play hooky." I said stubbornly. "I'm not playing hooky, I don't feel well." Shadow said, still glaring at me.

For a while, it was a stare down between Shadow and I. Eventually, I just gave up. "Fine, I'll leave." I said. "But don't think I won't come back." I turned around and reached for the door handle. Shadow took his hand off the door and let me out.

I stepped out onto the steps, and Shadow slammed the door behind me. I jumpped and looked back at the door for a minute before continuing to school.


Silver met up with me at the school doors. "Hey Fury!" He said. "What's up with the sad face?" "I-I'm not sad!" I said, holding my head up. "...yeah...okay." He said. "You're surprisingly early today...did something happen?" I shook my head and walked past him into the school. He follwed.

"Were you able to find out what was wrong with Shadow?" He asked. "No...actually." I said. That was the truth. I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what his problem was. "I tried calling him and texting him this morning, but he had his phone turned off I guess." Silver was concerned. I could tell. I guess we were all concerned though. "Do we have practice today?" Silver asked, changing the subject to a lighter note. "Actually, I was thinking." I started. "I'm going to cancel the play."

"You're going to WHAT?"

Lunch time. Sonic, Silver, Amy, Rouge and Blaze were all around the table, amazed at the news I'd just told them. "I'm cancelling it..." I said again, taking a sip of my sprite. "But why?" Rouge asked. "I liked it!" Silver said. "Yeah, it gave me something to do afterschool!" Sonic said. "Sorry guys." I said, throwing the empty bottle into a trach can. "But I want to wait until Shadow gets better." Everyone looked at each other and sat down in their seats. "Darn." Amy pouted. "I was just starting to get into it too..."

"Well!" Sonic said, instantly cheering up. "Now that we have nothing to do, who wants to do something later today?" "Like what?" Blaze asked, poking at her (cheeseburger?) "We could go to that new pizza place that opened a few blocks away from my place." Sonic said. "Pizzatown?" Rouge asked. "Yeah, yeah, that one." "Okay!" Amy said instantly. Everyone else agreed that they would be gathering at Pizzatown.

"If it's okay guys, could I pass? I don't feel very well today." I said, shaking my head. Everyone stared at me in complete shock. "You wannt ditch the play AND the pizza?" Rouge asked incredulously. "Sorry..." I said. I don't know why, but I just wasn't feeling well at all. After looking at my lunch...well what should've been my lunch, I knew why. Whatever they were serving for lunch had just made my stomach very unhappy. I guess I was so busy thinking that I forgot lunch was served straight out of the trash


After school ended, I went to all of Shadow's teachers and collected his homework. My stomach was running and I felt nausious. WHY! WHY DID I HAVE TO EAT THAT STUPID LUNCH? I thought, banging myself on the head. "Fury?" Ryu came from behind me and put his hand on my shoulder. "What...are you doing?" It just now occured to me that I hadn't seen Ryu all day. "I'm punishing myself for eating that lunch." I said, heading for the door.

Ryu followed. "Blaze told me you were quitting the play...is that true?" He asked. "Yeah." I said. "Well that sucks..." He said. "But anyway, where are you headed?" "I'm going to see Shadow to give him his homework." Ryu cringed when I said Shadow. "YOU WERE SERIOUS WHEN YOU SAID HE WAS ALIVE?" He shrieked. I jumpped. "Yeah! Why would I lie about something like that?" I looked at Ryu as if he had three heads. "That's impossible." Ryu said. "I don't believe you." "Fine, you can see him yourself." I said.


Ryu's POV

After all THAT, he was still ALIVE? What the heck was WRONG with this...guy?

I followed Fury to Shadow's home. When we got there, the door was already open, so we went in. It was dark in his house- dark enough for me to take of the necklace I had on. "Shadow?" Fury asked when we were both inside.

FWISH- SLAM.

Shadow had blown by me and slammed the door. "Would you stop leaving the darn door o-" Shadow stopped and glared at me. I glared back. "You..." He said at the same time. "Oh, not NOW, come on you two!" Fury whined. "What do you WANT?" Shadow asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "I just came to give you your homework." Fury said. Shadow was hesitant, but he took it. "Thanks." He mumbled.

"Do you have some stomach medicine?" Fury asked. "I ate the hotlunch today and...well..." "Wait here." Shadow said. He left and strolled into a room which I presumed to be the kitchen. Fury went over and sat on Shadow's couch. I was taking a look around, still amazed that Shadow was alive.

Shadow came back a few minutes later with ibuprofen and water. "I hope you ate before you got here." He said, tossing Fury the water bottle and medicine. "Thanks." Fury said.

While Fury was trying to put the pill in her mouth, it slipped and fell into the couch. "Whoops!" She said, turning around and reaching her hand down to grab it. "You'd better find it. That was my last pill." Shadow said. "Itai!" Fury yelped, instantly snatching her hand out of the couch.

"...Something smells good..." Shadow said, looking around the room. "Yeah..." I said. Both of us turned towards Fury. "Are you wearing perfume Fury?" I asked. "Huh? No!...Can one of you get me a bandaid or something? I hate blood!" I then realized what I was smelling wasn't perfume...

"Uh oh..." I said, instantly turning away from her. "Fury...I think you should go now..." Shadow said hesitantly, taking a step away from the couch. "Hm? But..." She started to protest and stood up. "Fury!" I said in a sharp tone. "J-just go!" Why is this happening? I have the necklace on, so why... I thought.

Fury grunted and walked towards the door. "Fine." She said. "But Ryu, I'm not leaving you two alone." She said. "I'll wait right here by the door." She leaned against the wall, clutching her hand. Fury's "perfume" was driving me crazy. I think it was driving Shadow crazy too. "WOULD YOU JUST GET OUT?" Shadow yelled. "NO!" Fury yelled back. "BECAUSE EVERYTIME I DO, YOU TWO END UP FIGHTING!" Well, she had a point.

"Well could you at least wait OUTSIDE?" I asked, resisting the urge to walk towards her. Fury thought for a moment. "Okay okay." She said. "I'll leave, but only because my stomach is killing me, and I need to cover up this cut..." "Yeah. You do." Shadow said. "You two...play nice." And with that, she was gone. When she left, so did the sweet scent.

I sighed in relief and fell onto Shadow's couch. "That was too close." I said. "Ryu." Shadow said in a warning voice. "What did you DO to me?" "Well," I said. "Since you're still breathing, I don't really know." I looked towards the ceiling. "I TOLD you not to come near me, but your head is so thick-" "I DON'T CARE ABOUT YESTERDAY, TURN ME BACK!" Shadow yelled, grabbing me by the collar. "CALM DOWN!" I yelled back.

"I don't know how to change you back because I didn't think you'd still BE here after yesterday!" I said. "I'm STUCK like this?" Shadow shrieked. "For now." I said. "I can't go out in the sun, I break things when I don't intend do, I run faster then I ever did to begin with, and I suddenly took a liking to people's cuts...WHAT DID YOU DO?" Shadow yelled. "Well, I have bad news and good news." I said. "What." Shadow demanded.


Later: 9:30 PM

Silver, Sonic, Amy, Blaze and Rouge were sitting around a giant table outside of Pizzatown talking.

"It's getting kinda late." Amy said. "Aw, what's the rush?" Sonic said, reclining on his chair. "I'm getting kinda tired." Amy said. "Aw come on, another hour?" Rouge pleaded. "I'm having fun." "If you want Amy, you can nap until we're done." Blaze said. "Or, we could slide ice down your shirt!" Silver said. "Ha ha. VERY funny." Amy said sarcastically. "I'll be fine." "Anybody want anymore pizza?" Sonic asked. "No way, I'm full!" Amy said. "Me two, I'm gonna have to excercise all this extra weight off..." Rouge said, poking at her stomach.

Whoosh

"Sonic? Did you just run somewhere and back?" Blaze asked. "No. Why?" Sonic asked, sitting up from his reclining position. "I thought I felt something." She said. "Must've been just the wind." Silver said.

"Hello."

The five turned around to see a kid they'd never met before. "Hi!" Blaze said politely. "Can we help you?" "Actually," The kid said. "Yes, you can."


Fury POV

The next morning, I woke up to find Amy again not in the house. Must've ran off to school again. I thought, getting out of bed and performing the usual, boring school routine.

Oddly enough, I didn't find Amy at school. I didn't see Sonic, Silver, Rouge or Blaze either. That's a little strange. I wonder where they went? I thought. I stopped pondering about their locations long enough to notice Shadow walking into the school...With Ryu. My jaw dropped and I ran over.

"Shadow!" I said. Shadow turned around. "It's just you." He said. "Hey Fury." Ryu said. I noticed something glimmering catch my eye and realized Shadow had on the same necklace as Midnight. And I just realized Ryu had on the same necklace too. "Hey, is that a token of friendship?" I asked, eyeing the necklaces. "Ha." Shadow said, turning around and going back into the building. "Not even close." Ryu said, following Shadow into the building. "Hey! Hey! Wait up!" I said, chasing after them both.

"Are you feeling better Shadow?" I asked when I finally caught up to him. "Yes. Much better." He said bleakly. "Wow, you sound just SO convincing."I said sarcastically. I turned to face forward, and then stopped dead in my tracks.

"Fury?" Ryu asked, looking towards my gaze. He also stopped in his tracks. "What's wrong NOW?" Shadow asked, looking towards both of our gazes.

I couldn't believe my eyes. Lo and behold, there was the kid that had supposedly followed me two blocks to my house. The dark purple hedgehog...and apparently, he had friends. Five of them. Three hedgehogs, a bat and a cat...

"Hello dear." He said. "I never expected to be seeing you here." I blinked. "And Ryu," He said, facing Ryu. "Long time no see." Ryu also blinked. "I don't wanna know." Shadow said under his breath.

"I don't think I got to properlly introduce myself last time we met dear." The guy said to me. "These are my friends. Bloom," He pointed to a dark red hedgehog with straight hair all the way down to her ankles. "Dash," He motioned to a dark dark blue hedghog with green eyes. His spikes were curved slightly upward. "Masa," He motioned towards a gray hedgehog with yellow eyes with his hair over his right eye. "Flare," He motioned towards a dark purple cat with an extremely long ponytal extending to maybe her knees. "Crimson," He motioned to a black bat with hair that went about up to her shoulders. "And I," He said finally. "Am Trick. And who might you be dear?" I didn't get to tell him-

Because I fainted.


How does Trick know Ryu? What happened to Amy and everyone else? Who is Trick anyway? Was Fury just hearing things? Tune in for the next episode of FURY'S WORLD!
