The Awakening

The Memories, They Come Flooding Back

(I'm a procrastinator and a lazy butt and it does not mix well. So I either be lazy and write it like this or wait forever to write the days.)
Shadow and Sonic spent the last few days going out and speaking about his life, or at least what Sonic knew. Rouge would go with them sometimes and fill in some information as well or reteach him what he knew and he learned it pretty fast. 'Learned pretty fast' as in a day of training or less. So Shadow learned everything he needed in a short time. Sometimes Rouge insisted they were dating but Shadow could care less since he was falling for the blue hero. And sometimes he'd freak out when Sonic would randomly do something. Like if they were talking and Sonic would just hug him, and once he even pinned the dark hedgehog, but Shadow was always bubbling and bursting with happiness and butterflies in the inside.
Sonic and Shadow sat under a tree next to a pond. "The water looks nice." Sonic stated, playing with it with his hands. "Why don't you go in it?" Shadow asked as he read a book on a murder, it was titled the scariest book. Shadow threw it to the side. "That book was boring." Shadow stated. "You barely even read more then half of it." Sonics pointed out as Shadow sighed and shrugged. "I already know the killer. I've read way too much to make sure." Shadow said as Sonic looked at him with a face reading 'are you serious?' "I'll make you a deal, if you promise to read it all then I learn how to swim." Shadow thought about this. "Deal, I promise. Now let's go swimming." Shadow said getting up and taking off everything but his inhibitor rings. "Wait, right now?!" Sonic asked alarmed. "What? Are you a chicken or a girl? I thought you told me I was the uke but now I'm starting to think its the other way around." Shadow said in a teasingly matter. (Obviously I mean no offense to girls considering I'm one.) "I'm neither of them! I'll show you, I'm Sonic the hedgehog!" Sonic said as he stood up and took off his gloves, socks, and shoes. Sonic walked into the water before stopping dead cold. "My and my big ego." Sonic groaned before looking at Shadow. "I can't do this Shadow!" Sonic said as Shadow was in the middle already. "Yes you can! Here, I'll show you how to swim in only a few minutes!" Shadow insisted.
Shadow was right, in only a few minutes...... Of half an hour. "You promised to read it all, now you have to!" Sonic said as Shadow grumbled, they now were back on dry land again. "But I already know who the killer is! It's the librarian!" Shadow said as he grabbed the book and pointed at it. "You still have to read it! If you read it and get it right then we'll do whatever you want." Sonic said as Shadow rolled his eyes. "Fine." They were seated under the tree again. The sun was slowly setting. Shadow read the rest of it in a couple of hours. "The killer was the librarian! I told you! Now I get to chose what we get to do." Shadow said as Sonic just smiled. "That's why I love you." Sonic said as Shadow looked at him. Sonic slowly started to move forward to Shadow. Shadow didn't know what to do. He felt like if he kissed Sonic then Sonic would be kissing someone else instead of him. He also almost felt like he had someone else's memories but he also felt like he knew them. Shadow backed away until he fell into a patch of flowers. He had the fluttery feeling again. He looked at the flowers and recognized them immediately by the description Sonic and Rouge gave him. They were the 'Love Flowers' or something. He received another headache as he remembered falling into another patch. Before Shadow knew it, Sonic had him pinned to the ground. "Sonic?" Shadows voice was fearful. Sonic planted a kiss on his lips.
Shadows eyes widened. His pupils shrunk to the size of a pea almost and he froze. Shadows view was different from what it appeared. He looked shocked and in a way he was. But not because of the kiss. Instead, in his view, he was like traveling through a tunnel of memories. The memories, they all came flooding back. He remembered everything. You could almost see them in the shine of his eyes. Shadow kissed Sonic back forcefully. Sonic pulled away to suck on Shadows neck. "Sonic. Sonic, wait!" Shadow said. He moaned as Sonic continued. It was the flowers, it was what was making Sonic like that. Shadow had an idea on how to stop Sonic, but he was embarrassed to say it. Blushing, Shadow finally said it. Shadow moaned loud purposely before he actually said the sentence. "S-sonic. Take me!" Shadow said, his face extremely red. His plan worked, Sonic stopped and pulled away from his neck. Sonics tail started to wag. "Sonic, are you listening?" Shadow asked as he tried to get up. Shadow got out of Sonics grip and got into the lake. "But uh, you have to try and catch me first?" Shadow asked, seeing if Sonic would take the bait. Luckily for him Sonic did, but his mind was so blank that he practically jumped in. Shadow then got out of the lake and ran into the house which was a few minutes away and Sonic followed after. Shadow's rocket shoes left the grass a little burned as he was hurriedly trying to get inside. He hid behind the couch, hoping that Sonic wouldn't find him. But thanks to his scent and the fresh coat of the smell that drives Sonic crazy, gave him away. Immediately after the blue hero ran through the door, he pounced behind the couch that tipped over from the action. "Sonic!" Shadow said, hoping to snap him out of it. No avail. Shadow got up before Sonic could pin him again and grabbed the phone. Dialing a number, he ran into the bathroom. "Rouge! Come over quick!" Shadow said in a worried tone. "Shadow! Are you okay? Is Sonic scaring you? How'd you even get my number? Sonic doesn't even know it." Rouge said thoughtfully. "Rouge! You won't believe it. I got my memory back!" He said as he ran his right hand through his top quill as the other held the phone. "Really hun? That's wonderful! You'll need to tell me how it happened!" She said excitedly as you could hear her walking. "Me and Sonic were at the pond by his house. We made a deal I'd finish a book that I knew the ending to and didn't want to finish if he learned to swim. I taught him to swim then finished the book." Shadow said as she was heard, knocking on something. "Keep going." She said as Shadow glanced at the door. Sonic was trying to get in. "And I was right then he kissed me. That's how I remembered everything." Shadow said. "Hold on hun. Commander, I'm pretty sure you've been informed that Shadow's been brought back to life and he's had amnesia. Well he's recently just got it back and I'm going to go check on him, can I leave early?" She asked as Shadow listened. "Yes. Try to get him back to work as soon as possible." Shadow then listened to Rouge say 'Aye Aye Captain' that was followed by her laugh and the Commander's sigh. "Keep going." She said as he heard her walking again. "And when he kissed me, I had fallen into another patch of Love Flowers and Sonics doing the same like last time except it happened faster. I tried to tell him I have my memory back but he wouldn't listen. I made the dumbest mistake." Shadow admitted. "What'd you do?" Rouge asked, interested. "I thought of a way to get his attention so I did it, but I now realize I screwed up pretty bad." Shadow said. "What'd you do?!" Rouge asked again, the suspense of what he did killing her. "I uh told him the wrong sentence at the wrong time. My exact words were uh, 'Sonic. take me'." Shadow stated as Rouge gasped. She cracked up. "You actually told him that Shadow?! I can't believe it! And what he do? Did he listen?" She asked as Shadow was getting worried. Sonic seemed to be almost getting the door open. "Yeah. He stopped...... But he went back to the way he was. I didn't get to tell him because I was running from him but now I'm hiding." Shadow admitted as he was embarrassed.
Rouge was flying to Sonic's as fast as she could. She was on the phone with Shadow still. "Ok. I'm almost there." She stated. Shadow said a 'Ok' back before it was silent. She heard him about to say something before he yelped. "Rouge!" That was all she understood before his voice kept being cut off between sentences, his voice disoriented.
Shadow was in panick mode at the moment. He was about to ask Rouge how far away was she before Sonic bursted in, the phone flew out of his hand and into the toilet. Shadow looked Sonic, scared. The blue speedsters face was devilish as he smirked. Shadow let out a small, terrified yelp.
Rouge had kicked into overdrive hearing the phone go disconnected from what seemed as a struggle. She landed at the front of the house, the door was wide opened. She proably would've been curious but something else had that place, the door just made her suprised. What did make her curious were the loud moans coming from inside. "Chaos Sonic!" Shadow screamed in pleasure. Rouge froze. A small smile played across her lips as she almost laughed a little. She didn't know why but she felt the need to. He'd only been alive for a few days, and it was only a few hours since he got his memory, yet Shadow was doing it. She knew exactly what he was doing so she left the house but not before closing the front door.
Shadow panted as he was trying to regain his breath. His fur was all sweaty and messy. He was too exhausted to do anything but lay there. He was tired. He wanted to get up and take a shower but sleep over ruled his mind and body.
