She opened her eyes and gasped. Shadow was standing right next to her bed.
"What the heck, Shadow!" she exclaimed.
"What was Sonic doing here?"
She rubbed her temples, "Why do you keep asking me that?"
"Just answer the question," he sighed.
"He was looking on my laptop," she admitted.
"For what?"
"He was looking at some stuff I wrote," she said.
"What stuff?"
"H-he, promise you won't kill him?"
"Fine."
"He was trying to find out what happened to us at the testing facility," she exclaimed extremely quickly.
"What! I told him not to-"
"Don't kill him!" she begged.
"Fine, but he'd better explain himself," he growled, stalking out of the room.
She sighed with relief and climbed out of bed. She pulled on her slippers, walked down stairs, and saw Sonic getting chewed out by Shadow.
"Look, I was curious!" he said trying to get away.
"I told you it didn't matter! You're going to cause her more stress than she needs!" he growled.
"Boys, calm down!" she exclaimed, "Shadow, it's fine. Sonic, just quit snooping!"
Shadow began to walk away, then shot one last glare at Sonic, "If you ever do something like that again..."
"Shadow," she groaned.
He ran outside, "Thanks, Kayla," Sonic said gratefully.
"This doesn't mean you're off the hook," she warned.
"Heh," he gulped and ran outside.
She smiled and grabbed a granola bar. After she'd finished that, she went outside, and knelt next to the flowers. She held the petals of a white rose.
"So pretty," she muttered.
"What's your obsession with roses?" Shadow asked.
She jumped, "Would you quit doing that?"
He smirked, "So what's with the flowers?"
She blushed, "Th-they're just r-really pretty."
He knelt down next to her, "I don't see what's so special."
She moved away, "I-i...nevermind."
She stood up and walked to the other side of the house, "You didn't have to leave."
She jumped and saw Shadow leaning up against the wall, "Again?"
He smirked again, "Yes."
She sat down in the shade and looked at her hands, "Shadow..."
"What?"
She bit her lip, "Back at t-the facility...y-you...nevermind."
"What is it?"
She blushed, "D-do you..."
OMS! Is she really gonna ask him! Read the next chapter, review, and find out! ~tfflv
