Diary of Jane

A/N: First off, Jane isn't an oc, it's just a name for a reason I'm not going to explain. Secondly, This may be the last Sonic fic I will write before I go on hiatus.

Shadow's POV

To my displeasure, I awoke at six o'clock, apparently this is the fourth time I've woken up early. More importantly, my new partner is lying on my chest like we're a pair. After Rouge married Knuckles and Omega went on to persue his dream of being an accountant. I was the only one left inside the Ark, until I adopted an seven year old cat. Well, as you can see the rest of the story is currently lying on top of me, whimpering and gripping my arms. After our case was over, she didn't want to go back to her parents, so I took her in.

Sighing, I push her off me and get up, just to check on Cassie. "Stupid Female." I mutter while walking down the hall. I open the door halfway and peek inside, to Cassie yawning. I smiled as her brown eyes rested on me as she waved at me. Fully entering her room, I ask "What are you doing up so early?"

She smiled back at me, replying "Good morning, Papa. I woke up because I felt Mama's energy spike."

Even though Jane isn't the same species as her, she grew custommed to calling her mother. I stepped over to her and ruffled the white tuffs of hair protruding out of her nightcap. While leaving, I thought 'I still don't understand why she wants us to call her Jane if it isn't even her real name. I guess something happened that made her change it.' my thoughts were interrupted when I stumbled from a brown mass crashing into me. Looking down, she ran her fingers through my fur, making me shudder.

I pulled her hand away, saying through clenched teeth "Don't do that, you know it's my weak spot. Why weren't you on the couch like you're supposed to be?"

She looked up at me, a weary expression etched on her face, my stature drooped as I raised an eyebrow, I turned away from her and asked "Cassie told me about a diary you had. I know it's none of my business, but what's contained in it?"

Her frown was evident as she crossed her arms over her chest, she replied "I still have it, and there ain't nothing important in it."

I knew she was lying due to her tail not flicking from time to time. Obviously she was hiding something that greatly impacted her life, big enough to make her change her own name at the least. I sauntered over to her, saying "Clearly, it's important if you're dodging my questions."

She gave me no response, and just walked away. I rolled my eyes at her action and decided to get dressed, walking over to my drawer, I searched for a casual red t-shirt. I turned around and clenched my jaw, I sighed as I stepped up to the lab's door. I should really control my force, seeing I almost tore the door from it's hinges with a simple knock. As soon as the door opened I said "Female, give me my shirt back."

She shrugged and handed it to me, I looked up at her saying "You're already wearing a shirt, yet you still stole mine." sliding the shirt over my head, I waited for her response. Her emerald eyes shined, when she replied "It's not my fault a thistle like you doesn't live in a warm enviornment. Besides, I didn't want to take it off due to me freezing."

My jaw clenched again as I walked away from her, I muttered entering the living room "Good thing you have that convention in England."

I sniffed the shirt to check if my scent was still on it, unfortunately it now has traces of a cinnamon scent mixed with my natural vanilla scent. I don't care what other people say opposites do not attract, more importantly if its a squirrel and hedgehog with two completely different natural scents. I emitted a fustrated groan and threw the shirt in the washer, I turned and walked back into the room to get the only black shirt I had available. I caught a small book out the corner of my eye on Jane's side of the bed. I phased over to it and slipped in my back pocket, before Jane could come out of the lab.

As the moon rose, I turned over and closed my eyes halfway asleep,until my upper torso was engulfed in an embrace. I let out a weary sigh and fell asleep nonetheless. My only question that night was "What's in this book that Jane doesn't want me to find out?"

A/N: Any guesses on what Jane is holding inside her diary? Also diary entries will be in italics. Reveiw please.
