Chapter three- to one's heart.
The red Echidna Knuckles walked down the hallway of the school, passing the cream coloured walls covered in posters and lined with green lockers. In his arms was something wrapped in a cloth, it appeared box shaped.
He soon came to a stop outside a classroom door and opened and walked in. The classroom looked liked an oversized kitchen with flat topped benches lining the walls creating small cubicles were sinks and ovens were situated along with the occasional microwave.
He approached a white bat wearing black tight pants and a white top with a heart covering her chest.
"Hey Rouge" he said. "I made this for you in construction".
He handed her the thing wrapped up in cloth and she opened it to find a simple jewellery box.
"Wow thanks Knuxie" she replied with her usual air of flirting.
At another part of school Dragonfire was sitting at a desk, racking her brain for answers. For the past few classes Sonic had made more comments about her than Eggman would at a comedy festival.
Think, why! He has the athletics track to run, the PE classes to exercise and he's surrounded by friends and fans, he's hardly made any comments to Shadow so why me?
It was then that the bell rang, so she picked up her black backpack and headed outside to the combat area for combat training class.
When she got down to the oval shaped concrete stage they would use for practice she was approached by Silver the hedgehog.
"Hey um Dragonfire if we fight could you know, go a bit rough on me?"He asked.
Dragonfire looked at him curiously "trying to impress Blaze are we?" she asked.
Silver grinned sheepishly and nodded.
"Well alright but only because I know she thinks highly of you" she replied.
The rest of the class soon showed up; Sonic, shadow, Broc, Clarissa, Blaze and a few others.
"Hey Dragonfire are you going to fight or are too scared?" Sonic called out.
Dragonfire felt the rage build up, but pushed it down and ignored Sonic.
Their teacher soon arrived.
"Mr Drakeheart! You're our teacher?" Clarissa asked.
Mr Drakeheart grinned. "Yes I am" he replied. "Now then let's all pick a sparring partner and see what skills you have already".
10 minutes later
"I brought you chilli dogs Sonic" Amy said, presenting a plate of chilli dogs to the cerulean hedgehog.
"Gee thanks Ames" sonic replied, accepting the chilli dogs and giving Amy a peck on the check.
"Silver you're up" Mr Drakeheart called out.
Silver walked onto the stage with a grin on his face.
"Who is your sparring partner for today?" asked Mr Drakeheart.
Silver replied "Dragonfire".
Before walking on stage she removed her coat and as she walked on everyone behind her gasped.
Her tail was long and elegant, and last of all;
It was a wolf's tail.
"You're a hybrid?" Tails asked.
Dragonfire turned to the kitsune and replied "Of course, where do you think I got my claws from?"
"Hey guys She's a mutt!" Sonic jeered from the back.
It was then that Silver began to attack. Dragonfire leapt into the air, and astonishingly hovered for a few seconds before diving at Silver and tackling him to the ground, using her claws to tear at him. What surprised Shadow was the fact that she could hover without the use of telekinesis, wings or hover shoes.
Hold on...did something shimmer behind her? Shadow thought as she watched the fight.
When Dragonfire was done she got off silver, who was badly cut, but had no severe injuries, however he gave a small groan in order to give the impression that he was hurt.
"Silver!" Blaze cried out and with the teachers permission, carried him odd to the sick bay.
Dragonfire turned to face the teacher to let him know that Silver would be fine when...
She turned back around at the sound of whirring to find something round and blue hurtling towards her.
WHAM!
Sharp pointed spines dug into her face, tearing at her eyes, and then she blacked out.
