Rouge ran out of the building she didn't get too far for Shadow was calling her.

" Rouge!" he manage to catch up with her " Rouge wait what's.."

" JUST STOP!" She turn around screaming at him " I SMELL, I GET IT! I SMELL LIKE THE LOU!" she turned away crying " it's been the same in every school..." she let tears fall " No one want to get to know me, then just assume I'm just a bimbo, slut, hooker, prostitute..." she wiped her eyes.

Shadow felt sorry for her, it must of been hard adjusting into a new school system, the hedgehog slowly approached her, she gasp as she felt his arms wrap around her.

" I don't think that" he told her " granted I had no idea you spoke fluent English but I understand why your faked it".

Rouge didn't even realize she slipped up the bat let her ears pinn the back on her head.

" I've been down that road too" Shadow spoke " when I was a freshmen every one assumed I was a psycho, someone ready to kill... No one wanted to get to know me... But I met Silver, Knuckles, Blaze and Perci... They got to know the real me" He let her go

" And now we would like to get to know the real you" . Rouge turned around wiping her eyes. Shadow couldn't help but find her to be very beautiful.

Unexpectedly she dove into his arms and gave him a hug. The hedgehog hesitated but found himself hugging her back.

On the second floor looking out form the window Glory saw the two interact, she was so mad that she snapped her pencil in half.

The school day was coming to an End rouge was feeling bit better she was accepted among Shadow's friends and was feeling more comfortable around them.

Rouge was about to take off but Shadow stopped her " how about I give you a ride home" he offered.

Glory was ear by them nearly dropped her phone when she heard Shadow offering the bat a ride.

Shadow never offers rides. The brunette hedgehog was getting real irritated with the bat!

Shadow lead Rouge over to his motorcycle, he pulled the helmet from the saddle bag and handed it to her. as the bat placed the helmet over her head Shadow got on the motorcycle and started it up.

The sound of the bike made the bat jump a little , Shadow could help but chuckle, he backed out of the parking space and pulled over so Rouge can get on.

" Hang on tight" he told her, Rouge nodded and secured her arms around his waist, the hedgehog twisted the handle and let motor go loud before taking off.

From the bushes where the two were Glory stood up, she was clearly spying on them and was very angry at the situation.

The bike ride home was quiet for 2 reasons, one the motor was loud and 2 they couldn't talk much. Rouge able to direct him to the street she lived on the motorcycle slowed down thus two two were able to speak to each other.

As Rouge told him to pull up to her house, a nice yellow house with a grey roof . The moment the bike stopped and rouge got the helmet off, the door to the house flew open, a grey male bat who appears to look around Rouge age leap into the air.

"Watashi no musume kara nigemasu! (Get away from my Daughter)" He cried out and prepared to strike Shadow but Rouge stopped him by placing her self between the bat and Shadow

" Otōsan! Sore o katto! ( Dad! Cut it out!)" Rouge spat back in Japanese. Shadow was a bit impressed, Rouge could speak 3 languages but who was this bat and why was he planning to attack him?

Rouge sighed "Kare wa gakkō kara no watashi no yūjindesu( he's my friend from school)".

The grey bat looked over to the hedgehog, He appears to have the Same turquoise eyes as her.

" I see" he spoke in english, he took a step forward to inspect the hedgehog, Shadow stood still not wanting to make a move. That when the grey bat death glare turned into a friendly expression.

" Nice to meet you" he gave Shadow a pat on the back " I thought you were just one of them street thugs in those TV movies".

" Dad " Rouge spoke getting his attention. Shadow eyes widen, this grey bat was her father! No way he mistook the grey bat to be her brother or something, he looks way to young.

Rouge's father wrapped his arm around Shadow's neck " Say come on in boy" he suggested " you must be thirsty"

Rouge step over to Shadow " just do as he says" the bat told him " My dad won't kill you".

Shadow looked over to the her father then back at her, he sighed in defeat and accepted the invite.

" Splendid!" The male bat let him go " I'll tell your mother to put more food on," he turned around and marched into the house " We've got company"

Rouge turn to her friend and giggled " don't worry my mother's not crazy like him" she said . Shadow look back at his bike but he ended up following Rouge into her house to meet the rest of her family.

Those who been following me on Deviant art... Yup it's him! Shiro the Bat!
