Right I've only got one review so far but I don't care! I'm going ahead with it, special thanks to Bureizu za Vampire for being the sole reviewer, but seeing as it's only been out a few hours I can't really blame the rest of you, but I'm hyper and somehow I managed to write the second chapter already, have fun with it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters used, Sega does

Chapter Two: Understandings

~Station Square~

As Shadow carried Sonics limp body through the streets of town people gasped and pointed, Shadow ignored them; he just needed to find the others, but first he went straight to the house of Amy Rose, for that was mattered the most; explaining Sonics last wish.

He knocked on her door and patiently waited;

"Wait a second," he heard Amy call from upstairs, when she opened the door she said,

"Oh hi Shadow……" she looked at Sonics body and her voice dissipated into silence, her eyes widened; Shadow just walked inside to explain.

"What happened?" Amy asked with tears welling in her eyes,

"When we were fighting Metal Sonic in the Mystic Ruins we thought he was destroyed but then he tried to knock me off a cliff, so Sonic saved me, but paid the ultimate price, he and Metal sonic fell two thousand feet." Shadow explained, Amy couldn't hold the tears back any longer and burst out crying and hugged Sonics body, she was whispering 'why' under her breath, Shadow heard and said;

"I asked the same question," Amy turned round and said,

"But he did it for you! You should be grateful!"

"I am!" Shadow replied "But it's not my fault what decisions he makes!"

"But if you had taken better care of yourself he might not be dead!" Amy shouted, Shadow was silent, he could see there was no reasoning with Amy.

"I hate you Shadow! I hate you! This is your fault!" Amy's eyes were now dripping with her tears; Shadow saw this and felt sorry for her,

"Then I'll leave you to your grief," he said quietly and calmly then got up and walked to the door,

"Good!" Amy shouted "I never want to see you again!" At the door Shadow turned and said;

"Very well." he then walked out, leaving Amy to mourn for Sonic. As Shadow walked out he slammed his fist on a concrete pillar and said to himself

"Why does she blame me!?" Shadow's eyes burned with frustration "It's not my choice how Sonic decides on where, when and how he throws away his life!" Shadow looked at the ground, exhausted from the day's events, he began to walk home,

"She really hates me, I've lost the only person who has ever shown me kindness or sympathy" he said to himself "But I shall still keep my vow, no matter what!" when he arrived at Rouge's mansion (His current residence) Rouge saw he was unhappy and asked,

"What's up Shadow?" Shadow simply answered;

"Sonic is dead and Amy hates me for it" Rouge's mouth gaped open and she dropped the china plate she was holding, which landed with a crash, then there was silence for a few seconds, until,

"What!?!?" Rouge exclaimed "Did I hear you right? Sonic? Dead?"

"Yes and Amy hates me for it" Shadow replied "Maybe it was my fault for not staying aware…." He sat down and put his head in his hands.

"I've got to tell the others!" Rouge said, then left; leaving Shadow alone,

"Why? Why? Why? Why does it always seem to be me that is hated for everything that happens!? Why?" Shadow shouted into the empty mansion, "Well maybe I should go to bed; I'm tired" and so the exhausted hedgehog climbed the stairs into his room, laid down his head and went straight to sleep, but he had troubled dreams.
