Chapter Four

I Should When I'm Not.

Everyone was hoping that the deceased's lover would show up. They knew it must have been hard on him too lose the one person who he cared about more in the world. But the crowd thought he would at least be there for the funeral. To see his beautiful image once more. But, then again, no one really knew how hard he really took it.

No one except one little six year old girl, who knew their love was deeper than any love she has seen. Katana had seen their affection wrapped around the two that night at the graveyard. She knew they were unbreakable. But once this happened, she didn't know what to think. She took this pretty hard herself. Sure, she could see, touch, and speak to the living dead, but she hasn't seen her older brother at all at this funeral. It was beginning to worry her.

She began to walk away from the crowd as they were too preoccupied with the speech that the yellow mutated fox, Tails, was giving. She crossed the street and made her way to the bank, seeing if the spirit was still there. It took her a few minutes, but she made it there quickly. She crossed under the yellow caution tape and made her way into the sight.

The blood of her brother was everywhere. She felt tears start in her eyes, but she quickly blinked them away. She looked around the bank, and it looked like no one was here. Then she turned, and was startled to find a little boy staring at her. She remembered him on the train that night, the little boy Sonic was talking to. She couldn't place his name, but she knew him. Knew him very well in fact, he was raped and killed by an old, stinky, middle aged man who drove a train. Katana remembered how angry the cobalt hedgehog was when he heard the story. Nearly drove her to tears.

She smiled and waved to the boy, who copied her movements after her. After he put his hand down, he looked beyond Katana. She turned and saw her elder brother staring down at her. She smiled and ran to him. She clutched his leg and held on for dear life. Katana turned to thank the young boy, but when she turned, he had disappeared. Then she felt a hand touch her shoulder. She looked up at her brother, who knelt down and hugged her.

"Why aren't you at your funeral?" she asked. Shadow let go and stared into her eyes.

"I can't see Sonic, Katana." He managed to say. "I would go crazy. I would want him even more. We have to get used to the fact that I'm dead…and we can't be together." His head went down with sadness as he said those words. Katana couldn't believe it. She knew his brother was dead and was going through a tough time, but from her standards, he was being stupid.

"Shadow" Katana started, "I'm sorry to tell you this, but you need to pull yourself together!" she suddenly smacked him in the face and his head snapped to one side. "Sonic is out there somewhere probably confused as shit, right now! He isn't at the funeral Shadow. And do you know why? Because he is to damn afraid of seeing your face again! He is probably a mental wreck and the only one who can save him right now is you. Now are you going to just sit here for the rest of your nonliving life to let him work it out on his own, or are you going to be his boyfriend and help him! What are YOU going to do!"

As Katana waited for an answer, Shadow sat there with a blank expression on his face. Five minutes of silence passed, then he looked at her with ruby orbs. "I…I don't know…" he muttered. "You don't know. Well, I'll tell you what you're going to do. You're going march out there, like the man you are, and you're going to find Sonic and you're going to tell him it's going to be okay! You tell him that you and him are going to find some way too bring you back and everything will be alright!" Katana could tell he was agreeing every word that spilled out of her mouth. He stood up and made his way towards the door. He turned and nodded before disappearing.

Katana stared for a moment and muttered "Good luck, Shadow Graves. Glad to be of help."

YAHOO! Okay all done with that chapter.

So tell me what you think?

Was it Excellent? Was it Good? Was it bad? Was it Horribal?

Tell me! Or…don't…if you want. Lol.

So yeah. Please don't be harsh. If you heard about what happened,

You should know I hate to be called lazy and I will flip out on you if you do so.

But I really don't think you guys would do that to me…hopefully.

So yeah R&R! Bye! Thanks!
