shadow? “Rouge said as she stood up and walked over to him and helped him moved the rest of the stone away. Her eyes darting towards the markings on the door, once they were done removing the last stone. “What do you think it is shadow?” rouge said as she continued staring at the door. “well if you were at WORK you would know…” shadow said as he placed his hand on the door before quickly removing it. “Rouge…” shadow spoke again as he looked at the bat, her eyes never leaving the door. “Don’t you feel something odd from this door...” rouge nodded before she turned her attention to him. “It’s faint…but I can sort of sense chaos energy from the door…as well as the room behind this door…like a chaos emerald…but it’s different…” rouge said as she mumbled the last part to herself.

*Meanwhile*

After eating the food that was prepared for her, the maid walked maru to one of the guest rooms on the first floor of the estate. “Umm…excuse me…I don’t mean to be rude but…can you tell me what your name is...” the maid, a purple fox wearing the usual maid attire, Her hair in a ponytail with a few strands of hair sticking to the side, her auburn eyes, holding a secret within them. she looked at the girl as she led her to a cherry wood door before she finally spoke. “My name is mitsu…this is where you will be sleeping…the butler Hito will be here shortly to bring you something to sleep in as well as an outfit for today and tomorrow, so please feel free to explore and look around the room alright dear?” maru nodded as she let go of the maids hand. “Umm…could you…stay with me until he gets here…” maru said as she looked at the woman her ears twitched a bit hoping to hear the maid’s reply. “Of course…as long as Arkious doesn’t mind. But I have a question…why are you wearing a blind fold it’s obviously blocking your vision. “Mitsu said as she grabbed maru’s hand once again. They walked into the room; the walls were a maroon color with two large black steel window like doors with blood red and black sheer curtains. The window leading out onto a good sized balcony, a queen size canopy bed, a large ebony chest lined on the wall with a medium sized ebony dresser a few feet away and a ebony chair with scarlet red cushions sat at the edge of the bed. A door leading to a bathroom as well as an ebony night stand that sat near the side of the bed. “Well…I’m unable to take off this blind fold actually…unless there is a wish to be granted by my contractor…and I sense that you don’t have a wish…” maru said as she looked up at the maid. Mitsu giggled as she patted maru gently on top of her head earning a small smile and giggle from maru. Mitsu led maru over to the queen sized bed as she sighed before her smile returned to her cherry lips. “well…do you think you can tell me a bit more about yourself maru? “ maru sat down on the bed as she stared in mitsu's direction. “well…I don’t remember much…to be honest I forgot how I even came to be…all I know is that I was alone in a cold darkness…surrounded by silence… until one day my …former contractor came to take me away from that darkness…I could tell when I first laid eyes on his ruby ones…he had a wish…his eyes were filled with so much sadness yet happiness when he looked at me…but it was short lived…and he locked me away…I guess he didn’t want me to grant his wish because he knew of the price he had to pay… I’m not sure…” maru’s ears flattened at she looked down into her lap and sighed. “That’s terrible maru…I’m pretty sure he had a really good reason, I’m sure of it!” mitsu said as she looked at maru with fire in her eyes and her voice filled with hope. They continued their conversation discussing and talking about their pasts and the things they did until a sudden knock on the door stopped their conversation as mitsu turned her attention from maru to the person who knocked on the door, a somewhat annoyed expression could be seen on her face as she sighed before standing up from the bed and walked towards the butler and her partner, hito. “I was keeping the dear company until you came with the clothes that Arkious had requested. Hito looked at mitsu and nodded in response before walking to maru holding a small pile of clothes in hand. “Arkious told me to give these to you…” maru looked up at hito her ears twitching as she lifted her head in hito’s direction. “Well... I have to go and lock up the house for the evening…Mitsu…could you make sure maru gets dressed in her night clothes ok? “ Hito said as he placed the clothes in maru’s hands before heading out of the room as mitsu sighed before turning around to face maru. “Alright dear…let’s get your pajamas on you, then I can give you a tour of the estate and also Arkious would like to talk to you. “Mitsu said as she smiled at maru before taking the clothes out of her hand and sitting them on the bed.

*Meanwhile at the cathedral ruins*

“You’re sure about that rouge...” shadow said as he looked at the bat as she nodded. “I’m sure of it…besides whatever that WAS in there…it’s gone now…” shadow looked at the door his expression never changed as he placed a hand on the door once more before slowly opening the door. “Be careful shadow “rouge said as she watched him before her attention darted towards the door again.”There’s nothing to worry about rouge” shadow said bluntly as he peered inside the dark and dimly lit room. “There doesn’t seem to be anything in there…but it does look like some or something was in there look…” rouge said as she looked into the room and pointed to an old and torn blanket and a small burlap bag. “Seems like it…” as he looked in the directions rouge pointed to. ‘Just what are you planning Arkious….’shadow thought to his self as he let out a sigh before turning to leave. “Wait shadow!” rouge said as she walked up next to shadow. “You do remember Amy’s birthday is tomorrow right? “Rouge said as she looked at the hedgehog that appeared to be in deep thought. Shadow snapped out of his thoughts as he looked at the bat before stopping as they made their way to the entrance. “Yes, I remember that rose’s birthday is tomorrow. “Shadow said before he continued to walk and exited the building heading towards his parked motorcycle rouge following behind. “Well if you come up with anything shadow give me a call alright?” rouge said as she opened her wings and took off into the sky. Shadow sighed as he started the motor cycle and placed the helmet over his head before taking off back to his apartment. ‘I’ll pay my old friend arkious a visit…later’ shadow thought to his self as he drove towards his apartment in moon lit city. His friend Arkious had gotten him an apartment when he had found out that he didn’t really have a place to stay. As much as shadow refused and threatened the man, he just wouldn’t back down! Talk about persistent. Shadow had eventually sighed and gave in to his friends’ offer of getting him an apartment and a few things to start off with.
A top of the old cathedral a red bat stood, her medium length hair swayed in the breeze as if they were dancing. She smirked as she watched shadow and rouge go their separate ways. “well now…I have a feeling things will get interesting…beware hedgehog for you do not know what trouble you are getting yourself into…” her two toned eyes focused on him as he rode away. She let out a soft sigh as she opened her wings and took flight.

*Arkious’s estate/ Main hall*
Mid day/Evening 6:50PM

“So this is my new sister?” a gray and scarlet hedgehog said as she looked at maru. She wore a cream colored Lolita dress that stopped a little below her knees and a pair of cream Lolita shoes that held a medium sized bow on each shoe. Mitsu nodded as she looked at miru who wore a dress the opposite color and style than the girl in front of her that stared at her with her teal eyes and a kind smile on her round face as she tilted her head to the side her semi short hair that perfectly framed her face bounced. She appeared to be 13 years old. “Yes, your father found her all alone…and decided to adopt her, maru this is karu and karu this is maru. “Mitsu said as she let go of maru’s hand. She guided them to the indoor garden of the estate as maru looked around her ears twitched as karu stepped closer to mitsu and whispered to her. “Any reason she has that blind fold?” karu whispered to mitsu. “I’m afraid I’ll have to tell you later miss karu…”mitsu whispered to karu before she lead them to a nice white steel garden table set that held three chairs that surrounded an elegant and flowery oval shaped table. “I’ll go and tell Arkious where you two are and he will be here shortly, and I will be back with dinner alright?” mitsu said as she bowed before walking out of the flower and planted filled room.
“So, Maru did you have a family before my dad found you and adopted you?” Karu spoke up after several minutes of silence as she stared at Maru as she fiddled with her dress to adjust it. Maru sighed as her ears twitched. How was someone supposed to answer this type of question when you barely knew the answer yourself and you weren’t probably human or animal either? ‘Hello I’m your new sister and your father didn’t find me he rescued me from my imprisonment because my previous contractor locked me away for some reason that even I don’t know? ’

and after a minute of silence and tossing the ridiculous thought that had crept its way into her head it was quickly tossed to the side maru looked in karu’s direction. “I’m unsure of that myself…I’m sorry…” maru stated as karu sighed. “Oh well…so how do you like the place so far?” karu said as she looked around the room. “Well…I can’t really tell…” maru said as karu finished her sentence. “The blind fold right? “Karu said as maru nodded her answer. “Now, now karu… I will, you’ll find out more about your sister later, for now it’s time for dinner. “ the both turned around to see Arkious walking into the room a warm smile on his lips as mitsu walked in behind him wheeling a medium sized silver tray with several plates with silver bell like covers on them.

“I was just getting to know my new sister better is all dad.” karu said, as she walked up to her father and hugging his waist, as he patted his daughter on her head. “Dinner is ready. Everyone” mitsu said as she prepared the table, placing a few plates on the table in front of each of the seats as karu sat down and Arkious helped maru into the other chair before he hat down as mitsu placed the food onto each
