*Nothing really to warn here, just that it's a yaoi and it has a small bit of gore.*

Shadourge

They won't look at me. None of them. I'm a freak. I'm a walking demon. I'm cursed. I was something dark and tainted. I've had this ability ever since I was born; it wasn't my fault. My older sister told me it was a gift; something unique and sent from God himself. How wrong she had been. How stupid I was to believe such an obvious lie.

I walk through these halls alone. A school that people who had special abilities came to, to harness and control their gifts… and also a school where people with dangerous gifts came to so society could hide them from the general public. I was one of these dangerous gifts, but what they didn't understand is that I had complete control… most of the time. No one has ever gotten hurt, but the few before me who had this gift did do harm. Lots of it. So, I'm kept in constant supervision.

Necromancer, that's what I am. Definition: is a claimed form of magic involving communication with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge. The term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.

In simpler terms, it's somebody who can raise the dead as zombies and control them. They can also summon spirits and communicate with them. It is seen as dark magic and a sign of the devil.

I've used my powers over many occasions; we have to use them here. The only way to control our powers is by using them and the zombies I conjure make the perfect targets. I rejected the idea; these were once living people. They were people who had families, feelings and emotions. How could they even think of raising them just for target practice? However, I didn't have a choice. This is where I live and eat; they controlled me just like I controlled these people that I summon.

I have no say in my situation. I'm like a puppet on strings and this is how it will stay… forever. I've heard plans by the headmasters of making me a teacher or a grounds keeper when I graduate this year. The Familj won't do anything about this; after all, they were the ones who brought me to this place ten years too early.

*I Will Not Bow*

"Shadow and Sonic the Hedgehog, please take your positions in the arena," the teacher called out over the loud speaker in the arena. The arena was the class where the students would fight against each other by using their powers in battle. This was the last class of the day since the teachers didn't want kids to be hurt and exhausted by the time they got to the indoor, classical classrooms.

A black and red hedgehog leaning against the corner of the outdoor, football-like arena pushed himself off of it. Another hedgehog, this one a bright cobalt, got up from the ground where he was surrounded by his many admirers.

Each one of them took their positions on the opposite sides of the large battle field. The teacher called out that a random battle environment would be chosen and to stand back as the field changed. Just as she finished her words, the ground started to shake violently and large lava pits squirted out of the previously grassy area.

Several cheers and shouts of encouragement echoed through the arena, all of which were directed at the cobalt hedgehog. The ebony hedgehog, Shadow, narrowed his eyes and analyzed the situation as his opponent bathed in encouragement of his friends. Inwardly, Shadow was rolling his eyes at his rival, Sonic. The other hedgehog should have been watching and thinking of a way to defeat him, but, instead, he had to stroke his ego. Just like he always did.

He knew Sonic's main strategy was to use his excellent use of wind magic to run at supersonic speeds to attack his opponent. However, with these lava pits spewing heat and fire every few feet, it would be difficult for the other to do that. Oh, well, that was Sonic's problem to worry about not his.

Making sure to keep a very close eye on the cobalt hedgehog just in case he suddenly attacked, Shadow kicked a small rock into the closest lava pit. The rock melted immediately just like he thought it would and Shadow smirked. He knew just the people to summon for this.

Shadow took and deep breath and started his chant that he knew since birth. "Lussu meo invocavi ad vitae sensum et iterum relinquo. Si audieritis verbum meum omni terra tua vita sua. Placet, venire ad me, Silver et Blaze!"

The ground in front of him cracked in two places and brittle, yellow bone reached out of the arena's field. Two figures creaked out of their places in the ground and stood up. Their bodies, completely made out of bone, quivered for a second before tendons and ligaments snaked across their bodies. Nerves clicked together and red and blue blood vessels weaved randomly around their bodies.

Organs grew at a rapid pace and beat in rhythm as they started to function. Amber eyes moved like jelly until they got into their respected positions and, finally, skin and fur traveled around and attached to the underlining systems. Shadow had seen this sequence happen so many times before that he no longer got sick every time he watched it.

He couldn't say the same as his classmates and even his teachers as they looked away from the graphic scene. Sonic turned away from his friends and faced Shadow with a strange look in his eyes. He had only seen that look from Sonic whenever he did this. The cobalt had never given anyone else this look and Shadow had a sinking suspicion that Sonic hated his guts. Not that he blamed him, Shadow would hate himself too if he was in a different situation.

He had summoned two of his favorite spirits, Silver the Hedgehog and Blaze the Cat. These two had been friends before dying in a freak accident years ago at the school. Something about Blaze heating the beaker of a science experiment with her fire elemental powers and lost control.

Blaze crossed her arms across her chest and her tail flicked behind her in amusement. Silvers' eyes glanced around the lava filled arena with slight fear and lifted himself off the ground using his own powers so he could avoid the heated ground. When he summoned someone they didn't feel pain, but it would be quite hard to move if one of your legs was burned or blown off.

Across the arena, Sonic got into a fighting stance and muttered an incantation under his breath. Shadow had been mistaken when he thought Sonic wasn't forming a plan in his head. He had seen the battle field they were given and immediately started to form a backup plan.

He couldn't do his regular attack of running at supersonic speeds; so, in secret, while he had looked like he was talking with his friends, Sonic had started to power up his elemental wind. This allowed him thousands of opportunities of how to use his wind. Shadow wouldn't know what hit him.

Flames appeared in Blazes hands and she ignited flames under her feet so she could easily stride over the lava pits. Silver effortlessly glided overhead and picked up flaming rocks on the way to use as projectiles against Sonic. The duo had fought the cobalt hedgehog before and had enjoyed each battle that happened.

Against popular belief, most of the people Shadow summoned were more than happy to come back from the dead and rejoin the living for a few moments. Shadow had never asked if there was an afterlife once you died, he didn't even want to know the answer. What if there wasn't something to look forward to after death? He didn't want to know if that was true.

Shadow had once asked Silver and Blaze if it was painful to be brought back, but the only answer he had gotten was that it felt like you were being reborn. Whether that was a good feeling or not, Shadow did not know.

The ebony hedgehog was about to bark an order to the freshly summoned spirits until he suddenly got interrupted by a green blur leaping into the field. Sonic stopped in mid-chant, a very dangerous thing to do, and was blown backwards by his own wind. Silver caught the sudden movement by the cobalt hedgehog and quickly caught him before he was blown back into a flaming lava pit.

A whistle sounded through the arena and everyone turned to glare at the green newcomer. "Looks like I came at the wrong time, huh?" He flicked his red shades down over his eyes and let a fanged smile creep across his face.

Shadow sighed and rubbed his temples. Sonic may annoy him to no end, but he was no comparison to his younger twin brother, Scourge. Where Sonic was a 'hero' in a sense of words and took the code of chivalry to heart, his brother was the complete opposite. Scourge broke every rule known to man and waved it off as if nothing.

Where Sonic held him in distaste most of the time, Scourge had taken an… interest in him. On more than one occasion Scourge had asked him to raise one of the dead and even once suggested that he make a zombie army and take over the world. Like that was ever going to happen.

Scourge's shaded baby blue eyes turned to the ebony hedgehog to his right and made his way over. "I've been looking all over for you, Stripes! This was the last place I thought you would be!" Shadow rolled his eyes; oh yeah, the last place he would be was in class where he was supposed to be in the first place.

Shadow crossed his arms across his chest, "What do you want, Scourge? I'm in the middle of class."

Instead of answering Shadow's question, Scourge turned to the teacher watching them across the field. "Hey, Teach! The Headmaster wanted to talk to Stripes here." He pointed at Shadow and the teacher nodded, understanding why the green hedgehog had interrupted their class.

The teacher then turned to Shadow's other classmates and shouted for Knuckles to join the arena in the ebony hedgehog's place. Smirking, Scourge grabbed Shadow by the arm and dragged him out of the lava filled field. Silver and Blaze exchanged glances and followed after the hedgehog duo.

Shadow glanced behind him and motioned with his head asking if they wanted to go back. Silver and Blaze exchanged another glance and nodded in agreement. "Vincla dimíttam vobis ab, Silver et Blaze," Shadow muttered under his breath. Silver and Blaze went completely still for a moment before collapsing into a pile of flesh and blood. The ground cracked open underneath them and their body parts slid in before closing over.

Shadow turned his attention back to the green hedgehog leading him through the complex of hallways inside the school. He sighed, "The Headmaster didn't ask for me did he." It wasn't a question, it was a statement since Shadow noticed that Scourge was taking him in the completely opposite direction of the Headmaster's office.

Scourge smirked, chuckled and flung an arm around Shadow's shoulder. "Come on, lighten up Stripes. Ditching one class with me isn't gonna kill ya." The ebony hedgehog shook his head and tried to push off the offending appendage, but Scourge seemed determined to keep it there, so Shadow gave up.

"What exactly do you want, Scourge?" The green hedgehog was one of those people who you couldn't beat around the bush with. You had to say it outright, or he would never get it.

Scourge smirked and stopped them in their tracks. He unlatched his arm from Shadow's shoulders and stood directly in front of him. "I just want you to go on a date with me, Stripes. Is that too much to ask for?"

Shadow took one look at the close proximity of the other hedgehog's face to his and kicked Scourge right where it counted. The green hedgehog's face scrunched up in sudden pain and fell to the ground clutching his private area. However, to Shadow's distaste, Scourge wasn't down for long.

Scourge rose up from the ground and placed his arm back around Shadow's shoulders. "This wasn't the first time someone kicked me there, but," Scourge chuckled, "your kick, by far, hurt the worse, Stripes."

Shadow huffed and crossed his arms across his chest. He didn't even try to get the other hedgehog off him this time. "I was serious, Scourge. What do you want?"

Scourge shook his head, "You really do need to lighten up, Stripes." Without another word, he removed his arm and continued to walk down the hallway expecting Shadow to follow him. The ebony hedgehog sighed and rubbed his temples. Yes, Scourge was much harder to deal with than Sonic was and he followed after the younger twin brother.

*I Will Not Bow*

Scourge knew him more than he thought he did. Half an hour later, Shadow and Scourge arrived at Shadow's favorite hide out place. It was a small and out of place graveyard located on the outskirts of the school. No one but Shadow ever visited this place since everyone buried here had long been dead and there was no one left to visit them. How Scourge had known this was his favorite place to be alone and away from everyone was beyond him.

Scourge walked around the rotting graves and took great care not to knock into any of them. "So… how many of these old guys have you talk to, Stripes?" Shadow just shook his head and watched as one of the 'old guys' flipped Scourge off. Shadow had actually talked to all the lingering spirits in this graveyard. Most of the people buried here he had helped depart for the afterlife.

This graveyard was filled with the students that had died at the school while it was an orphanage. A serious fire blazed through the school and killed many of the kids there a long time ago and most of them had last wishes they wanted to fulfill. Shadow had taken it upon himself to slowly pass them on… That and they wouldn't have left him alone until he had agreed to do so. However, Shadow didn't blame them. What were the chances of finding someone who could see, talk and help you with your last wishes?

The green hedgehog stopped when he didn't get an answer and turned around. They locked eyes, "How do you know about his place, Scourge?" If the green hedgehog had known about this place, what else did the troublemaking hedgehog know?

Scourge smirked, "I saw you come down here a couple times and decided to follow you on one of your trips." He bent down and brushed off the dirt clinging to one of the old graves. "You came down here so many times that I was starting to think you were… having 'fun' with some of the people down here."

Shadow flinched; he knew that Scourge was weird sometimes, but this was beyond even him. How could Scourge even think he would have sex with a corpse?! That was just plain disgusting. "That's absolutely disgusting, Scourge." A thought suddenly occurred to him, "And if you ever ask me to rise a spirit so you can have sex with him I'll do more than kick you in your family jewels," Shadow growled.

Scourge's smirk faded from his face as he studied the grave before him. "That won't happen considering I'm already in love with someone." Scourge looked up at the ebony hedgehog above him, "Oh and, just for your information, this person is very much alive."

Shadow's eyes widened; Scourge was in love with someone? "Scourge the Hedgehog, the biggest playboy in school, is in love? What next? Are you going to suddenly tell me that Sonic doesn't actually hate me?"

"I've actually been in love with this person for a very long time. The only reason I became a playboy was because my love would forever be unrequited." Scourges' eyes sparkled with something that Shadow couldn't put on finger on and… was it just him or was Scourge checking him out?

Putting that thought aside, Shadow crossed his arms and turned away. "You're Scourge the Hedgehog, the younger twin of the most popular guy in school. Why would your love be unrequited?"

He heard Scourge get up from the ground and make his way over to him. "Oh, because this person is very powerful," Shadow furrowed his eyes, "very easy to make angry," Shadow shivered, "and very, very beautiful." He froze as Scourge's mouth whispered the last part into his ear. "And he's here with me at this very moment."

Shadow's eyes widened dramatically as everything finally clicked into his head. Scourge's interest in him, why the other hedgehog would always seek him out and how he knew so much about him. Bottom line, Scourge was in love with him.

"So… what's your answer, Stripes? Will you return the feelings I have for you?" Shadow's body quivered at the feel of the others' hands roaming over his body. "Well Stripes? I'm waiting," Scourge teased, reminding Shadow so much of Sonic.

"Wh-what do you w-want, Scourge?" Shadow stuttered as Scourges' hands reached lower and lower with every second.

"I want you, of course," Scourge whispered sexually into the ebony hedgehog's ears and his exploration of Shadow's body increased with his words. The thump of Scourge's jacket hitting the ground pulled Shadow out of his surprise. However, it was too late as the green hedgehog turned the ebony hedgehog around and kissed him passionately on the lips.

Shadow melted under the kiss; he had never realized until now how much he had wanted this. To feel needed; to be loved by another. Scourge pushed him down on the ground and Shadow let out a small moan. Scourge must have heard his moan since the other seemed to suddenly be more daring with his actions.

They heatedly made out for what seemed like hours before Scourge removed his mouth and placed it at his neck. The green hedgehog bit down on the heated fur and flesh, drawing blood.

Shadow didn't know what to do; things like this never happened to him. Everyone had always stayed as far away from him as he could. He hadn't felt the touch of someone in so long that he had forgotten how comforting it was. How it drew you in like a moth to the flame and… Scourge was willing to give it to him.

However… did he really feel anything back or was he just craving the touch of another so much that he would resort to the local playboy for it? On that note… did Scourge really feel anything for him? He had heard so many stories about Scourge having sex with someone and dumping them the moment they were done… Why was Scourge doing this to him when he was like this? Using his need of being with another person to his advantage… it could only mean one thing… Scourge didn't really love him; he was using him like so many others before.

"Get off me, Scourge."

"Huh?" Scourge said as he stopped trailing kisses across Shadow's neck. "I thought you wanted this too, Stripes. What's wrong?"

Shadow's face darkened, "What's wrong? What's wrong! What's wrong is that I'm just another victim of your playboy desires!" Shadow shouted.

"What?! What are you talking about, Stripes?!" Something dripped from Shadow's face and caught Scourge's baby blue eyes. The green hedgehog lifted one of his hands and placed it on Shadow's chin. The ebony hedgehog shook it off, but Scourge, determined to see if what he saw was true, replaced it there and pushed up Shadow's head.

Scourges' eyes widened as he saw that his love's face was streaming tears… tears that he had caused. "Oh, Stripes…" The green hedgehog didn't know what to say. Whether Shadow knew it or not, he was scared too. This was a new experience for him; he had always been the one to break off relationships, but now… he was afraid Shadow would reject him and break his heart. Ironic considering how many hearts he had broken in his lifetime.

"Shadow…" The ebony hedgehog's eyes widened; Scourge had always called him by the nickname 'Stripes', so… why was the other using his real name now? "Shadow… please, just trust me. I love you, Shadow. I love you. So please…" a small sob escaped the green hedgehog, "don't reject me…"

Shadow was beyond stunned, but placed his head on Scourge's shoulder. If there was one thing he had learned in his life was that sometimes you had to take chances. "Okay… I'll… give you a chance…"

If Shadow hadn't buried his face into Scourge's shoulder he would have seen the large, bright smile that flashed onto the green hedgehog's face. Scourge gently lifted Shadow's face to his own and gave him a long kiss. One that hadn't held any lust in it, just love.

*I Will Not Bow*

Shadow's ruby eyes slowly cracked open and he saw that he was held in the tight embrace of Scourge the Hedgehog. He blushed as yesterday's events rushed back into his head. A giggle sounded to his right and Shadow looked over at the noise.

A small group of ghosts hovered not a few feet away and one of them slowly glided over so she could be right in front of Shadow and the sleeping Scourge. "So…, she started off, "the other ghosts and I were wondering if you guys will give us another show sometime."

Let's just say, Shadow would never return back to that graveyard in fear of the yaoi crazy ghosts that Scourge and him had created that day.

"Hey, Stripes?" Shadow turned to greet his boyfriend, "I was wondering if we could give those ghosts another show, huh?" Not that his boyfriend had minded when he had told him what had happened while the he was passed out. Scourge had proven to be one big pervert, but- Shadow watched as the green hedgehog grabbed his bags and started to carry them for him- it was a small price to pay for having Scourge as his boyfriend.
