Shadamy: Sooooooooooo sorry, I've been sick and no one was able to do the chapters but my lazy good for nothing so called friends. As I promised I would remake that short chapter and next Saturday the story will be on track again.

Amy was, once again, in the arms of the sick and twisted villain, Hitaro. Hitaro was satisfied with his catch as they walked into the heart of the forest. Amy with all the strength she had left pushed herself off him and looked him dead in the eye only to see lust and amusement shimmer in his dark orbs. Amy shuddered and stepped away in fear.

"What's wrong with you?! Why do you want me to be your bride?" Hitaro just chuckled making her flinch.

" That is not for you to know…"

" I should know and NOW!!!" Hitaro paid no heed to her petty cries as he walked over to the lake and touched in surface of the water with his index finger making it glow a bright red. Amy was confused as to what he was doing and stepped closer to the water's edge and sealed her fate for he pulled her down into the water, hold her down with all his might. He glared as he mumbled some spell.

/Let this maiden of Love sleep forever in peace/

/In the lake of eternal dreams/

/Let only the arrow of pure light/

/Destroy this seal of fate/

/So Mote it be/

/So Mote it be/

Amy's grasp on his arm loosened, as she lay limp in his arms. Hitaro smiled and lowered Amy so that she sunk to the bottom of the deep abyss. Amy merely fainted not drowned because of the seal and was able to breathe underwater like a fish, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not reach the surface. This was his entire plan to rid himself of Shadow the hedgehog and yet at the same time keep his bride in check.

"Now that you cannot leave. I shall destroy that pesky boyfriend of yours." He chuckled but seeing the lake glow blood red he suddenly stopped and looked back at the watery oasis in amusement. 'Does she really think she can stop me?'

" Try all you want, you will never escape my spell" and with that he left and never returned.

With Shadow and Kagome

"Come on Shadow, this way!" praised Kagome as they walked through the human village together. To be honest, Shadow hated when people held his hand or drag him like he was a small child. Shadow closed his eyes and grunted be his ears picked up on nasty human voices.

" It's that dumb human girl and what the hell does she have this time" a village man mumbled. Another man who was working in the field, stopped and whispered back.

" I don't know, it looks like a demon rat…" both looked at Shadow and he shot them both a death glare and shivered in fear. He shook his head and looked back at Kagome.

" Kagome?"

blink

"What is it Shadow?" Shadow looked down with a blush staining his muzzle. He looked up and saw a smile on her lips making him smile.

"Where are we going?" Kagome winked and wagged her finger.

"You'll see, in fact, we are here!" Kagome cried in joy. Shadow on the other hand was confused. All that walking they had done, this is what they come to, an old creaky hut?

"Wait here for a second, k?" again she winked he nodded as she left into the hut, leaving him to his thoughts. ' This is stupid! I should be finding Amy not mingling with humans. Amy….'

'Well maybe she's safe….

'Oh NO!! NOT YOU!!!!'

'OH YES!! It's me and besides Amy's just fine. She's a strong girl you know' then the voice was gone not noticing 6 figures looking down at him. Shadow smirked and crossed his arms.

"Who are all of you?" They all smiled and each told their name.

"That's nice but I must be going?" Shadow turned around and started walking but stopped when his ears picked up on Kagome's voice.

" Why? You just got here?!" utter shock in her voice but her dog friend however didn't seem to care.

"Aww just leave him there. We have shards to find." Shadow turned around and was about to ask when an ear splitting scream that sounded like Amy's came from the forest entrance. Shadow's eyes widened, 'Amy!!!'

"What was that? Do you know Kagome?" asked Sango but sadly Kagome shook his head Inuyasha looked at Shadow and noticed his expression and knew that something wasn't right. 'There's something he knows…'

" Hey rat!! You OK?" shouted Inuyasha. Shadow turned his head and stared deeply and mumbled one word: ROSE

Blink

"Who?" but without saying anything, Shadow sped off leaving the group speechless at his speed. Shippo, who was in Kagome's arms, was the first one to break the silence within the group of friends.

" WOW! He's fast, isn't he, Mama?" said Shippo giving Kagome a puppy-eyed look. Kagome looked down and smiled sweetly at her adoptive son. ' He's soooooo damn cute!!!' her mind squealed while Inuyasha snorted.

" Right, he maybe fast but I'm FASTER, runt!" that got to Kagome and she stormed over to Inuyasha and slapped him across the face…hard…(Ow he's such a asshole) Inuyasha stumbled back a little but didn't say anything to the young girl.

" Don't call my child a runt, dog boy!! Now we have to catch up to Shadow," She looked over her shoulder and gave Sango a signal to call her cat. Sango smiled and nodded.

"Kilala!!" and with a single 'meow' Sango 's companion transform into her larger cat form able for Miroku, Sango, and Kagome to ride on her back. Miroku had to sit in front cause he wasn't trusted to sit in the back BEHIND the women.

"Kagome, do you know where he went?" Miroku asked and Kagome shook her head.

"No, I don't" 'Hold on Shadow, we are coming!'

With Shadow

Heart pumping…. Blood racing through his veins…. And the image of a dead Amy Rose was all Shadow was thinking about at the moment in time. And again the screams came but this time it was much closer to the north. Then he came to a complete stop when he saw a light red hedgehog girl being attacked by a young male bat demon. 'I found the source of the scream…'

"Please spare me…" the bat demon just laughed and picked her by her quills.

"Uhh…" she groaned and shut her eyes fearing to see the bat demons bloody jaws.

"Bitch, you are my dinner tonight and I'm gonna let you off that easy." Roared the bat as he swung his claws at her but the impact never came. Slowly she cracked open an eye and looked around to see the bat but nothing was there…nothing but ashes. 'Ok that's strange…'

"Are you alright?" a voice called out; it was Shadow's. He was no more than two feet away from her, which made her nervous thinking he was out to get her. She nodded and Shadow rushed to give her a crushing hug.

"Oh Amy I'm so glad you are safe…"

"Umm who's Amy?"
