CHAPTER THREE! I am so excited that I got another review! Thank you FallenFan77 you are AMAZING! So just for you and tembella19 enjoy the story!
Shadow was awe stuck as well as everyone else in the room. Rage was no longer there a new girl had replaced her. A female hedgehog with white fur and one long quill that just barely touched the floor. Her eyes… her eyes were a burning Hazel warm and sharp as the summer sun. She had shown fangs and she wore a blue kimono some type of black pants. In the sides of the pants were iron stubs with blood red material. Shadow had heard of these weapons before. It was a bladed fan.
The girl lunged out at Mica, she clawed his right eye and grabbed Shadow by the arm and jumped in the air. She jumped with grace to the ceiling and landed on one of the metal bars. She quickly pulled up Shadow and set him on her back and jumped off once more but this time it was on the ground and it was about 20 ft. from Mica.
?: I told you not to touch him Mica. I told you, you would not like the outcome. Well if you want to fight me so bad. Then you'll get your wish. You get to fight me but I have one question how far are you willing to go?
Her voice was like daggers in the air. It sent shivers down his spine and he looked at the girl once more and spoke softly.
Shadow: Rage?
That deep velvety voice, it sounded so hurt so filled with confusion. She took a deep breath and spoke to him.
Rage: Yes Shadow it is I, Rage.
She stepped out into the middle of the room and stood there with everyone baffled or awe struck.
Rage: Yes, take a good look at me. This is who I really am a monster. A half demon, half dog demon to be exact. Coach this is exactly why I did not want to fight and you pushed me into it any way.
Coach: I don't care you're going to fight. Mica get her.
Mica started to charge and Rage simply lowered her head. When Mica reached her she jumped out of the way. This continued for about three minutes. Soon Mica noticed that his older brother, the blue hedgehog had gotten up and was coming corner of the gym. Mica had gotten an idea and started to speak.
Mica: I get it you're not powerful at all you're just a Monster. That nobody will love nobody not ever. I sure you parents didn't want you either. I'm sure you were such a disappoint to your Father. He probably never loved you ever the minute he saw you.
As Mica was speaking his older brother was sneaking up behind Rage. When she landed she was unaware of the hedgehog near her and as Mica had spoke his last word the blue hedgehog had just enough time to grab Rage from behind and get a tight grip around her. Shadow instincts took control of him and with the speed of sound at his side he tackled the blue hedgehog with full force. Rage was dumbfounded and had little to register what was happening with Mica standing before her. She heard punches coming from one of the two but was too fearful to look who was delivering them. For fear that, Mica would attack her.
Rage: Shadow!?
Shadow: Don't worry about me. I have this punk under control.
Mica: You better watch your mouth. That punk is my brother.
Rage: Shut it Mica your wanted to fight me not Shadow me and to comment your statement. Mica you know NOTHING about my Father and you know NOTHING ABOUT ME. Or what I have went through to become what I am. The sacrifice I have had to make to keep my only family left safe. Why I can never be loved be another unless he is my Yang.
Mica: Like I said you're a monster.
Rage eyes burned with fire she lunged at Mica with all her might. Mica didn't have time to react. Rage pulled out her razor sharp nails she had basically mauled Mica in no time. When she was done she stepped back and looked at her once standing opponent. Mica was on the floor in agony and bleeding thru his new found wounds.
Rage: No…No I…I didn't …No
Rage was shaking her head back and forth and fell to her knees.
Rage: I knew …I knew this would happen and I let him get to me…and I did this. No No NOOOOO!
Rage went into a frenzy. She was changing back and forth. White light began to from around her and the ground shook. Everyone started to get scared someone had even pulled the fire alarm. They all started to exit the gym quickly as possible and the Coach didn't even look back he just ran. As for Mica his brothers had grabbed him and he was very much alive still just blacked out. By Coach's orders everyone was out the doors.
But one person was staying behind. Shadow knew he couldn't leave he had to stay he promised her. He started to head for underneath the bleachers of the gym. When for the second time someone had stopped him. This time is was a familiar red Echidna.
Knuckles: Come Shadow we have to go.
Shadow: I can't go I promised her I would be there for her and I intend to keep. It obvious she needs me right now. I need to do this Knuckles.
Knuckles: You love her don't you.
Shadow: Um…I guess I do. I realize more than ever now. Yes I do love her.
Knuckles: Alright Shads just make sure you come back alive.
Shadow: Will do and thanks Knux.
Knuckles: No prob bro. Now hurry.
They both nodded heads and with a quick smirk from Knuckles and a sprint by Shadow everyone was gone within a few seconds. After Rage had thought everyone left she started to realize what she had done and began to cry.
Rage: I knew that this would happen. Why… I still can't control myself why? Every time this happens and every single time I end up hurting someone.
Rage's sobs grew louder and Shadow could no longer stand to wait any more. He speed off out of the bleaches and stood just a few yards away from Rage.
Shadow: Rage.
Rage knew that voice instantly. It sounded upset, confused, and… concerned. She didn't turn to look at him she couldn't bear to see the look upon his face. She continued to cry but the frenzy and stopped somewhat and she was in her demon form.
Rage: Shadow why did you stay behind? It's not safe for you and I don't want you hurt. Now you know why I didn't say anything. Why I can't control my emotions and feelings very well. Mica was right I am just a monster that no one will love.
Shadow: Rage that's not true. You can't control what happened or how you feel about it.
Rage: But Shadow that's the thing I can't control my feelings for two reasons and that's what caused everything that happened.
Shadow: What are those two reasons?
Rage: The first one is that my feelings control when I change, because I was not made to control them someone else was. That is the other reason. My Yang is the only one that can control me. Shadow I can call upon my demon side whenever I need it. But it I accidently summon it with my emotion I got into a frenzy just like you saw earlier. And until I find my Yang I will always had to try and control myself. Always go thru the pain I went thru when I was turned into a demon. Constantly reminded of what I am and who I am destined to be.
Shadow looked at Rage with complete astonishment. He felt her pain and could hardly keep it to himself he walked closer to Rage and picked her up, and brought her into a hug and slowly let her crying come to a stop. When they were just small whimpers Shadow spoke one more trying to calm her.
Shadow: I told you I always be here for you and don't you ever forget it. Please don't cry any more Rage. I can't explain it…but your pain is my pain.
Rage froze at his last sentence. She scrambled through her memoires and realized something that would change her life forever. She stopped crying and looked at Shadow.
Rage: Shadow… that line.
Shadow: What line?
Rage: Shadow the sentence you just said. It is the phrase from the prophecy.
Shadow: Rage what are you talking about?
Rage: The Prophecy it came true…
Shadow: Rage before you go on…there is something I need to tell you.
Rage: What Shadow.
Shadow leaned in quickly and pressed his lips to Rage's. Rage was stunned by his actions but she quickly closed her eyes and began to kiss back. The kiss was timeless and could hold them forever. Shadow pulled Rage closer to deepen the kiss and Rage wrapped her arms around him. Then suddenly Rage felt a change run thru her body. She felt light as a feather. From her toes, it traveled up her body to the tips of her ears. What was happening was that white light had engulfed Rage once again only this time is was a happy feeling. Then the light turned red and began to grow brighter. At once it separated Shadow and Rage.
Shadow: Rage what is going on?
Rage: It's the prophecy Shadow. I believe you are my Yang. But it needs to know…I need to know that you are.
Shadow: How can I prove it too you?
Rage: I don't know Shadow. The prophecy says that you know that answer.
Shadow thinks about this for a second and then he finally figures out the major question. That he needed to know and answer. He knew what he had to do.
Shadow: Rage Yin Eval I love you and want to become you Yang. If I may I wish to show you how I can prove this.
Rage: Shadow I give you my permission.
Shadow walked over the Rage and pulled her close and whispered.
Shadow: I wish to control you demon side to take away your pain. To share whatever pain may come and to be by your side. I choose a kiss of my choice to control you demon side and that will forever keep you by my side.
Shadow leaned in once again and gave Rage a soft kiss. White spheres appeared and began to spiral around Rage and from her head to her feet. Rage slowly changed back into her Hedgehog form. When she was done she pulled away from Shadow and looked at him and awe and smiled. Bestowed upon his neck was what seemed like an ancient necklace. It was the other half of her necklace. It was her Yang after all. She smiled and took hold of the small pendent around his neck and spoke.
Rage: Shadow you are now my Yang.
Shadow: So does that mean that you or my Yin?
Rage: Yes Shadow I am and like you said the kiss of choice is the one that can change me. But now my emotional feelings do not control me, I can still call upon it if I need it. Your fate is sealed. You now feel my emotional pain and I feel your physical pain. We are together forever… oh and Shadow.
Shadow: Yes Rage?
Rage: I love you.
Shadow smiled this time and leaned closer.
Shadow: I love you too Rage.
Shadow leaned in to kiss Rage once again and for once in her life Rage felt happier than she had ever been. Shadow could here in the back of his head Maria cheering him on. They both forgot about these thoughts and just focused on the kiss. They stayed there for a while until the final bell rang.
I Hope you guys enjoy it the next chapter will either be up tonight or tomorrow early morning!
