Innocence Destroyed
#4 of An Assassin of my Heart
Chapter 4
Innocence Destroyed
Sonic was home by the time I arrived. I had gone out to buy groceries to prepare dinner with, but I figured Sonic would not wish to eat. As I walked into my apartment, I saw him staring out the window. He looked so alone, so abandoned. I went over to him, and he asked, "Why?"
"Sonic, you did the right thing.," I replied in the softest voice I could muster. How guilty he must have felt. What could I do to help him? I then asked, "Maybe if you tell me what happened, you might feel better."
"I...I guess so." was his response. I could tell he was very hesitant to open up to me, most likely because I forced him into his first kill. He soon began his story, "Well, when you looked at me, I knew that I should not question you. You gave me a glare, the kind that makes people do what they need to without question. I reached for the knife in my bag. And Taro's face lit up in fear, he knew that he was going to die. He ran for his life. I do not know why he thought he could escape the inevitable...I do not understand why I committed this homicide..." I reached out with my arm and placed it upon his shoulder.
"I watched him coldly, I was down on one knee. The dagger was in my left hand which I held out slightly to keep it away from my body. His run was an odd one, he swayed back and fouth, clumsily. He looked back at me with his pudgy hand stuck out from his body. I then said to myself 'Ready, set, go.' At that very moment, I sped off after him." He shivered as he said that. He was on the floor and I was sitting in my chair next to him. He stopped there and looked out the window.
"Then what happened?" I questioned. I prayed that this would not be pressuring, but I also knew that holding things inside is very unhealthy.
"I sprinted after him. My feet clapped against the stone floor. The flames swayed as I passed them at my high speed. He looked back again and this time, I knew was the moment. I threw the knife straight at his face. He barely had time to think again before it lodged itself in his head, and he screamed in pain." I could not recall a scream. I realized that I truly did float into my own world on this mission. I worried that I may do that too often. But he still had more to tell, "And so, he fell back and pulled the knife out of his head. Blood drizzled from the cut and down his cheek. I felt so cold, but I still couldn't stop myself. I picked up the knife that he had threw aside."
He came into me, just then, and hugged me. He held tightly, and I placed my hand onto his head. "He . . . he asked me to show mercy. I could feel my eyes narrow at his request. I kneeled down beside his head. He kept telling me that this was wrong, and that he did not deserve to die." My stomach lurched. I felt responsible for this, all of it. "I was just sick of his talking. I called him a liar and slashed his throat. He threw up blood and then kept trying to talk, but it came out hoarser due to my cut. I slashed him again so that he would stop saying his lies. He coughed up more blood and could speak no more, never again." His eyes spilled tears onto my dry fur, causing it to stick together messily. He held onto me tighter, and I got out of the chair and sat next to him. "I...I slashed his face, but he was not dead, so I slashed his again, and again and again and..."
"Enough." I said to stop his pain. I heard all I wanted to. He had to have relieved himself of enough pain by now.
"And then . . . I remember where . . . where blood flows. I stood up. He stared at me through his right eye, since I had slashed the other one open. A clear liquid flowed from it, which was more metallic than water, but not at all gray or dense. I threw the knife at him one last time and watched it sink into his chest. It was an eternity until it pierced his heart and he became motionless. I feel into his crimson blood, remembering who I really am, not a murderer. And then you came."
"Sonic . . . I am . . . " I began to whisper into his ear, but again he interrupted me.
"No Shadow . . . You saved my life . . . If I had failed this mission . . . I'd be dead now. Thank you." He began to hug me tighter, and he said words I have longed to hear since I met him, just earlier today, which seemed like an eternity. I knew him so well, and no matter how much I wanted it, I could have never prepared myself for it. He said, "Shadow, I love you."
A/N I feel this was needed before my "spicy" chapter. Also, I have some bad news, we are already half way through the story. Sad I know, but, I already have these last few planned out, so I am going to post their names here:

Let Us Be One
My heart kept pounding in my chest. He was watching out the window into the gray sky, the clouds forever moving. No sun to be seen, just a dull gray light sweeping over the city below it. "Shadow, I really mean it. I had fallen for you long ago, but you..."
Me? Could I have frightened him, or had I done something to make him realize he loved me? Wait. Do . . . do I love him? Well . . . Do I not care for him? Does he not make my heart pound? Do I not care for him deeply? I did indeed. "I love you also." I admitted without another thought.
I did not think he heard, until he pulled back and stared into my eyes. I then wondered what he saw there, because he pulled himself on top of my leg. His arms were holding his body so that his head was just in front of mine.
I think I was the one to kiss him, and he kissed back. I pushed my tongue into his mouth and fought, licked at his teeth. He pulled them apart and fought back against the intrusion. He attempted to push my tongue back into my mouth which I allowed, feeling that I had crossed some dreaded line, but no, instead, he pushed his tongue into my mouth, and it was my turn to fight. He sat on my legs, which were together. His were apart and draped over the side. I rubbed his cheek with my right hand.
His tongue licked over my teeth and took special care to lick my fangs. The intruder then retreated into Sonic's mouth, and then he pulled away and gasped for air. I began to breathe heavily as my tongue ran over my own teeth on its own. Excitement began to affect my thigh region, but I was trained to have complete control over myself, or . . . I thought I did.
For the first time since I arrived at my residence, I noticed that he was still wearing the leather from the mission earlier. He had some blood on the glove, and I looked to the table beyond him, where a bloody knife lay along with his book bag. But why did I notice these now? Could I have been so caught up in Sonic's feelings that I did not check my surroundings before coming in?
But these thoughts distracted me from what Sonic was doing. I finally glanced back at him just in time to find him sleeping, leaning against my chest. He looked so beautiful, with his spines turned down, and his eyes shut. His small frame held onto me desperately. I came to a true realization that I loved him, more than I have ever loved anyone. I wanted him to be with me always...
My partner was shifting uncomfortably in his sleep. His, my, shirt was torn. I knelt down and pushed my arms under him in order to pick him up. I stood up with him and noticed how light he was. I carried him to "our" bedroom and laid him on the bed.
I went off to the kitchen and began cooking dinner for myself. I made a little extra in case Sonic woke up. This turned out to be a very fortunate happening as he came in an hour later, to find me reading my a book, while my dinner became cold. I decided not to eat, but as he sat down at the table, my appetite rushed back and my stomach growled. I looked at Sonic who was dress again in just his blue fur. I gazed into the green orbs of his eye. I could feel myself longing for him, wishing for him, needing him...
"This is wonderful." he commented, breaking the almost awkward silence. I was taken aback to this at first, but I was snapped back to reality once more.
"Thank you Sonic."
"Did you mean it?"
Shocked, I answered, "Mean what?" I knew full well what he meant . . . or I thought I did. I decided to play safe and act dumb.
"I...I wanted to know . . . Shadow . . . do you love me as I love you?" Sonic asked, turning his beautiful eyes away from my own.
"Of course Sonic, I will always love you.," I said, a tad annoyed with the need for repetition. "Sonic," I began, getting up and walking to the other side of the table, "I will always be there for you."
Sonic pushed the white fur in my chest, abruptly causing me to fall upon my back. He came tumbling down with me and kissed me deeply. I fought back with my tongue and pushed his back into the hot cavern of his mouth. I slid my tongue over teeth and toyed with his tongue a little.
I suddenly broke the kiss and gasped when I felt his paw searching for my slit. The heat of his hand caused me to become erect, and my cock came out from my furry sheath. I then noticed Sonic's own member press against mine, and he began toying with it slightly. He soon lowered himself from my view, causing me to push my head up to see where he went.
I looked up just in time to see him at our bedroom door, waving his finger in a most seductive way. I felt as if I had no choice but to follow, and so I did. I walked cautiously into my bedroom and found him laying out on the black comforter atop my bed. He began to stroke himself as I came walked forward, closing his eyes. I pulled myself onto the bed, and he reopened his eyes slowly. His hand stopped its pleasing motion and came and touched my own prick. He massaged it lightly.
I groan allowed, much to Sonic's pleasure. He released his grip and pressed into my mouth with his tongue. When he released from the passionate kiss, he rolled me over and pulled himself over me. He took my cock into his mouth and began to suckle it gently. In this position, I was able to take his into my mouth as well. My member pulsated in his mouth, pushing me ever closer to the edge.
He let go of me and then slowly licked the head while massaging the rest of its length with his hand. Rubbing it slowly. I released his from my mouth, with some difficulty, and pushed him off. Though I most certainly enjoyed giving my new lover oral as he did the same, I had other things in mind.
He looked at me and gave me a sheepish grin, realizing what I wanted. He laid back on the bed and lifted both legs. I closed my hand in a fist except for my index finger and rubbed Sonic's entrance, causing him to become more aware of what I was doing. I noticed his dick started to throb slightly, which made me more aware of the ache between my own legs.
I carefully penetrated the tail hole and pushed into him, searching. As I found my mark, his prostrate, he moaned loudly and pleaded, "Shadow . . . please . . . continue, I need you in me . . ." His voice was soft and needing, begging for me to move faster. I massaged his prostate again, rewarding me with more moans from my lover's mouth.
I kept in mind that I needed to stretch him more with my probing to ease the eventual pain from my own cock. The ache was becoming almost unbearable and I feared that my release would come too soon. As the worries crossed my mind, I added a second finger to speed up the process.
He gritted his teeth and sucked in air as I did so, but I relieved his pain by using both fingers to rub his prostrate again. This led to an odd groan of pleasure and pain.
As I continued to slide at my fingers in and out of his tight hole, I could see that he wanted to be fucked even harder. I pulled my fingers completely out and lined the tip of my prick with his tight cavern. I draped his legs over my shoulders and then looked deeply into his eyes, which looked much like long lost emeralds. I could see he was anxious for me to continue.
Sonic bit his lip as I pushed my head and a few inches through the tight ring of muscle. Sonic panted wildly, as if to somehow ease the pain of his stretched opening. He soon growled in contentment, ready for me to push myself completely into him. I obliged and pressed further, pushing my pulsing member into his tight, wet opening.
I allowed the blue hedgehog to become more accustomed with my rough intrusion. I had my hands on his thigh through the initial penetration, but I allowed one to reach out to his face, in a way to tell him, 'Everything is okay.'
At the touch of my caressing hand, he wrapped his arms around my neck, pulling me towards him. He licked my face and begged me to continue, telling me how we wanted me. He released me so that I could pull out, and I came almost completely out of him, before I plunged harshly into the depths of Sonic. He groaned, "Harder...faster..."
I only needed an order once before following it, so I picked up speed to go as fast as my hips could, grinding him into the plushness of my bed. I could feel myself go deeper and deeper with each trust, hitting his prostate, forcing him to moan at each hit.
I could feel that he too slid down on my rigid prick. He growled, wanting, needing. He continued to slam his body against my strong, quick thrust.
My climax was building, and I excitedly grasped Sonic's dick. I pumped him hard and fast, in rhythm with my thrust. Due to pumping his large cock and slamming into his prostate, Sonic began to spray his seed, fangs bared. Sonic's creamy essence coated our chests.
As this event occurred, I could feel his inner muscles tighten around my pulsing, engorged cock. I thrust into my lover one last time before exploding into him. I screamed his name to the cloudy heavens above. He did the same, except in turn, he shouted my name.
My lungs emptied, and I fell upon him, having already pulled from inside him. I pulled myself next to Sonic and looked at him tiredly. He was already asleep, so I just watched him, his careful breathing. He rolled onto me, pushing his head into my chest, seeking warmth. I held my arms tightly around him and whispered into his folded-down ear, "I love you too."
A/N: DAMN YOU TIME LINE! I find it hard myself that this could all happen in a day, at the same time, I feel it rather believable...(Thanks reviewers, but keep them coming!)
