Chapter Three: Emotions Ablaze

The next day, Shadow and Rouge were dropped off by a GUN ship in a region with some flat, grassy areas and short hills. Every now and then, a small group of trees could be seen next to each other.
"There's supposed to be a green Chaos Emerald here" Rouge said. “It’s getting a little dark, so that should make it a little more of a challenge!"
“This isn’t fair, you know" Shadow said, crossing his arms. "You have a natural instinct for this sort of thing!"
"Aw, come on, Shadow!" Rouge said teasingly. "It'll be fun! I'll give you a head start, huh?"
Shadow was silent, brooding.
"Shadow, come on. Try and have a good time, okay? That's what we're here for."
Shadow sighed, and nodded. "All right, let's go" he said. “Just don’t cry when you lose.”
Rouge smirked at him. “I never cry. And I won’t need to!”
With that, they took off.

     Shadow ran through the area, only looking here and there for the Chaos Emerald.
‘This is a waste of time’ Shadow thought to himself. ‘I could be battling Eggman’s mechs, or at least filing some reports and getting some paper work done but nooooo, I’m freaking hunting for some damned Emerald! The only value they have to me is Chaos Control...’
Shadow sighed. ‘But maybe Rouge is right... maybe I DO just need a break to chill... and if this turns out bad, I simply won’t do it again.”
Shadow took a deep breath, his mood lightened a bit. Then he started to look more thoroughly for the Chaos Emerald.
Finally, he spotted it on a hill.
"Ah!" he said with a small smile, and ran forward.
Suddenly, an explosion went off right in front of him, stopping him in his tracks.
Rouge then soared down towards it.
"Hah!" she said, grabbing the Chaos Emerald and landing in front of Shadow.
Shadow then realized Rouge had thrown one of her special grenades to throw him off...
Shadow stood up. "You cheated!" he said, still a little surprised.
Rouge shrugged. "Whatever gets me the win" she said with a devious smirk.
Shadow smirked back. "Very well" he said, ran forward, and knocked the Emerald out of her hands.
"Hey!!" Rouge said. "You're cheating!!"
Shadow grabbed the Emerald and ran off, Rouge flying after him.
"You can't do this!!" she yelled, a little frustrated at Shadow.
"Whatever gets me the win!!" Shadow yelled back, enjoying this little bit of payback.

     After chasing Shadow down for nearly a half hour, Rouge finally caught him. Shadow gave her the Emerald, knowing she’d need it more than him.
Shadow would be sure to make sure Rouge didn’t lie and tell everyone she played fair, though.
They stood on a hill now, Rouge observing the Chaos Emerald and holding it with the care of a maternal mother holding an infant, making Shadow roll his eyes.
"Such brilliantly shining treasures..." Rouge said, gazing into it's depths.
Shadow shook his head with a smirk, and contacted GUN.
"We're ready to go, now" he said. "We have the Emerald."

     The ship took them back to H.Q. It was late, about 1:00 in the morning.
Rouge still held the Chaos Emerald lovingly.
They stood outside Shadow's room now.
"Well, that wasn't so bad, was it Shad?" she asked with a smile.
Shadow shrugged. "... I guess so" he said. Then he amended, "Actually, it was pretty... pretty..."
"Fun?" Rouge offered.
Shadow nodded.
The two of them were silent.
"I don't think I've had this good of a time since... well, since... Maria, actually" Shadow said.
Rouge didn't say anything, but just looked at him.
Shadow looked back.
"I had a good time too" Rouge finally said.
Shadow smirked.
The two of them just stared at each other.
Shadow couldn't escape her large, luminous eyes. They held his gaze... her pupils gleamed as brilliant a green as the Emerald she still held.
Rouge saw peace in his strong, resolute, dark red eyes for once...
Shadow put a hand on her cheek, hypnotized by the moment...
Rouge put her hands on his strong shoulders...
And they leaned forward at once, their lips meeting.
Cares melted, worries faded away, and only blissful, light emotions ran between the two.
Shadow felt like his soul was ablaze with... something... something new, but whatever it was, he enjoyed every second of it.
As for Rouge, she'd always felt towards Shadow, but had not until now openly expressed them in such a manner.
Rouge felt her flirting had paid off.
Finally, the passionate kiss ended.
They were silent, staring into each others' eyes.
"... well, good night Shadow" Rouge said, starting to leave. "I'll... see you tomorrow."
Shadow nodded, and went into his room.
It took him an hour to fall asleep.
Well, here it is. My Shadouge contribution. XD
To be honest, I kinda got the treasure expedtion from rouge 11's FanFic, so sorry if I kinda yoinked it... I didn't have much to go off of for this particular part. I'll try not to do it again. I'll give you a great deal of credit for this idea, rougey.
Again, sorry if I overstepped a boundary
