Hiro was making everyone some Cloudberry Tea, with the help of Giselle of course, after 15 minutes he was done with it, he poured the tea in cups, placed them on a serving tray and walked into the living room.

"Tea's on everyone" said Hiro as everyone proceeded to grab a cup

Everybody took a sip and they all had smiles on their faces

"Excellent tea, Hiro" complemented Sonic

"I never had Cloudberry tea before, it's great" said Tails

"Yes I must agree, it's very delicious" agreed Cosmo

"Yummy!" chuckled Amy

"Yeah, it is good" said Knuckles

"Well good to see a smile on his face" Hiro thought to himself as he sipped his tea

"Hiro...can we see your eyes?" asked Cosmo

Hiro was hesitant at first, he really didn't want to

"Sure, why not?"

And Hiro took off his blindfold, and revealed his eyes. They were a beautiful light blue and his left cornea was crossed to the right.

"Wow Hiro, you have beautiful eyes" said Cosmo

"Well, thank you I wish I could see them" chuckled Hiro as he sipped his tea

Rouge was still looking for that Chaos Emerald, when she came across Hiro's cottage

"So this is where they are, heh! Finding that Emerald will be a piece of cake" Rouge said proudly as she flew off in search of the Emerald.

The day started to turn to night and the gang grew tired

"Well, I guess we should all head off to bed eh? I have spare pillows and blankets, but you guys are gonna have to share" said Hiro as Giselle guided him to his closet to gather the spare pillows and blankets.

"I'll be with Cosmo!" exclaimed Tails and Cosmo had a giggle

"I'll be with my Sonic!" exclaimed Amy as she embraced Sonic...tightly

That just left Knuckles

"Hey Knuckles, you know you can share my bed with me" offered Hiro

Knuckles gave Hiro a strange look

"Well, unless you want to share the cage with Giselle, but she really doesn't take kindly to strangers in her cage" joked Hiro

"It's alright, I'll just lay here" said Knuckles as he lay on the floor

"Well, I'll at least bring you one of my pillows and a sheet so your comfortable" replied Hiro

"Thanks Hiro" Knuckles replied gratefully

"Anytime Knuckles, and in the morning after a hearty breakfast, we'll venture for that Chaos Emerald" said Hiro as Giselle guided him to his room so he could grab a sheet and pillow for Knuckles

Hiro then grabbed the sheet and pillow and guided by Giselle into the living room, gave it to Knuckles

"Well, good night everyone!" said Hiro

"Good night Hiro!" everyone said in unison

"OK come on Giselle, lead the way" said Hiro as Giselle flew next to him, guiding him to his bedroom.

"Man Hiro really is a great guy, I mean t was nice of him to take us in" said Sonic

"I can't believe I didn't trust him" said Knuckles

"What do you mean there Knucks?" asked Sonic

"Well our first encounter with him, I thought he was working for Eggman and feigning blindness, but I guess I was wrong" replied Knuckles

"DARN RIGHT YOU WERE!" exclaimed Hiro from his bedroom

"Damn, that's some good hearing he has!" chuckled Tails

"I'll say bro!" replied Sonic

Cosmo and Amy were fast asleep, as Knuckles and Sonic decided they should get some shuteye as well.

Everybody was fast asleep and grateful that Hiro put them up for the night.

During the course of the night Hiro heard a noise

"What the hell?" he wondered to himself

"TWEET!!!!"

"GISELLE!!!" exclaimed Hiro

He got up and felt around her cage, she was gone. He felt that there was a piece of paper in her cage, everybody rushed right into Hiro's room

"What happened?!?!" exclaimed Sonic

"Giselle..." Hiro cried, Knuckles noticed the piece of paper in Hiro's hand, he took it and read it aloud;

"If you want to see your stupid bird again, you'll find me that Chaos Emerald! You have 4 days or else the bird gets it! Signed Rouge"

"Damn that stupid bat!" exclaimed Knuckles

"Who the hell is Rouge?!" exclaimed Hiro

"She's a jewel thief and all around pain in my ass!" exclaimed Knuckles

"Well, right after we find that Emerald, I'm gonna kill that bat!" exclaimed Hiro

Meanwhile, on the roof of Hiro's cottage, Rouge had Giselle in her hand.

"Well... you're worth a lot sweetheart!" taunted Rouge

Giselle bit Rouge's finger

"OW YOU LITTLE-!" screamed Rouge in agony

Giselle flew into Hiro's room through the open window

"GISELLE YOU'RE BACK!" exclaimed a teary eyed Hiro

All of a sudden Rouge flew into Hiro's window

"Gimme the bird!" exclaimed Rouge

"Over my dead body!" exclaimed Hiro

"Don't give me any ideas!" exclaimed Rouge

Now Rouge thought this was gonna be an easy fight, she grabbed Hiro and the both of them fell out of his window, which was a good 4 feet off the ground so they weren't hurt. Everyone

jumped out with them. Rouge charged at Hiro but, he smacked her straight in the face with his bamboo stick.

"Grrrr.... THAT'S IT!" exclaimed Rouge

She charged at him again going to kick him, but Hiro threw his bamboo stick right at her, and hit her left wing, right on the money.

"OW!!! YOU SONOFABITCH!" exclaimed Rouge in worse pain than ever, she was pinned to the wall.

"Now for kidnapping Giselle and threatening me and my friends, you die" said Hiro as he drew a Samurai Sword from a chest that was next to his garden. Everyone watched in awe as Hiro took the blade and with no remorse, stabbed Rouge in chest, killing her instantly.

Hiro panted but he and Giselle were OK

"Come on all, let's head back to bed" he said as if nothing had happened while Rouge lay dead

"Bury her" said Knuckles

"Fine" replied Hiro as he buried a shallow grave for Rouge, everyone knew the adventure was far from over.

Just like this fic, it's far from over! Sorry all fans of Rouge for me having her killed off, but hey had Hiro let her live you know she would've done worse. Well there's gonna be more, PLEASE R&R!!!
