Shadow Fire

As Lusca nodded at Evan's answer, Belbet came around the corner. Upon noticing the lawyer, he hung his head. "You must be the one called Lusca..." he said softly. "I must apologise for what happened to Guys. I kinda... scared him."

Len stood first, before lifting Haru into his arms bridal-style. "Let's go..." he said softly. "My Haru..."

Glancing around the crypt, Link shivered, sensing the death and decay. This is a bad place...

Shadow slowed. "D-did you want me to stop?" he asked. "Because I will if you want..."

The lawyer's face stung, having whammed it into someone. Giving a groan, he looked up to see Evan. "Evan..." Lusca blinked. "I'm sorry... I heard about what happened to Guys. I wanted to see if he was okay... but... how are you?"

Silver pulled out of the embrace, calling out his Alakazam. "Alakazam..." the red-haired boy said softly. "Can you teleport us to New Bark Town, please?" The psychic Pokemon nodded, before glowing, moments later, vanishing with Ethan, Cynder, Silver and Snappy in tow.

Belbet nodded, silently thanking Shion before heading out.

Slowly, Shadow pushed inside his lover. His eyes widened in pleasure, before looking back down at the former Chao. "How does this feel, Sheko?"

Pulling away from the kiss moments later, Silver reached a hand up, cupping the younger boy's cheek. "If you're returning home..." he began. "Let me come too. There's something I must do."

Silver shook his head softly, clinging back. "It's okay..." he said softly. "I'd have waited beyond the end of time. You made me a better person. Stood by me when I was cruel. I love you Ethan, and now, I'm going to shut up and kiss you." Smile widening, the older teen brushed his lips over Ethan's.

A triumphant grin came to Snappy's face as he heard Ethan whisper his love for Silver. He glanced over at his trainer to see the smile he hoped would light up his face. It wasn't there. Instead, the red-haired teen was crying. "Master..." Just as he was about to pull his trainer away, he noticed the small beginnings of an upwards curl on the human's lips. Silver stared up at Ethan through teary eyes, a shaky smile on his face. "Ethan..." the teen breathed out, cuddling against the other male. "You sure took your time... but... I don't mind... You already know this... but I love you too."

Silver hesitantly pressed back, pulling away moments later for air. "I don't know what I did to deserve that..." he said softly. "But... it wasn't unwelcome." Snappy's eyes also narrowed, the Feraligatr remaining hopeful. If you break his heart... I'll have to break your bones...

Link made his way through the temple, remaining silent, except for the battle cries he gave when vanquishing monsters. I want to get this done quickly...

Shadow inserted a second finger, then a third. After a brief few moments of stretching, it was decided that Sheko was ready. Gently removing his phalanges, he positioned himself at his mate's opening, staring into the other male's eyes. "Sheko-chan..." the hedgehog purred. "I love you..."

The blond stared back, his eyes moist. "I... do... love... Evan..." he choked out. "I didn't... want..." Staring out the door, Belbet went silent again.

The hedgehog gave a slight breath, before gently slipping a finger inside his mate. "Sheko..." he said, slight worry in his voice. "Are you okay?"

Belbet blushed, getting a little flustered. "You're putting words in my mouth!" he shot back. "I never said that I... love... Evan..."

The blond shook his head. "I'm not really upset with Midna..." he mumbled. "After all, she didn't put all this twilight over Hyrule. Let's... just get the second Fused Shadow."

The red-haired trainer let out a cry of surprise, Snappy raising an eyebrow. "E-Ethan?" Silver stammered out as he found himself pinned. "A-are you...?"

Shadow's eyes gleamed as he let the liquid spread over his fingers, before placing some on his member, giving a soft hiss of pleasure at the sensations he was getting. "Sheko..." he purred. "Are you ready?"

The blond glanced away, taking a few steps towards Guys. "It's because of me..." he muttered. "It's my fault Jake is gone, because I didn't go with him. It's my fault that Guys was shot... because I scared him. Evan is... I don't want to get him hurt too..."

Link scowled at Midna's tone, giving an exasperated breath. Well, excuuuse me, princess... Taking Diggs' hand, Link began walking through the room. You won't interrupt me once this is done, Midna. Like it or not, Diggs is my soul mate, and I am bonded to him. When we get Fused Shadow number 2, Diggs... I want you... again.

"Over here..." a voice suddenly said. "Right behind you." Silver stood right behind Ethan, giving a slight smile. "You did it, Ethan..." he murmured. "I knew you could."

Link smiled, before breaking out into a cheeky grin. "I also have something else..." he chuckled, grinning wider at the older boy's perplexed expression. "I have this." Pressing his hand onto Diggs' chest, he smiled once again, before brushing his lips against Diggs'.
