At the very word coming into play, Shadow crossed his arms and faced away from them both, brows knitting together and eyes squeezing shut. Sonic had died, apparently... yet now he was alive and well, surely revived by some means. To know that he even skirted death at all, however, left his heart sinking so deeply into his stomach that he felt like he was going to be sick.
That thing, Mephiles, it killed him, it hurt him...
He needed to protect him. The thought entered his head without any difficulty, as if he was reacting on instinct, just as he did Maria. He had to protect him from this Mephiles, from whoever wanted to do him harm, to ensure that he lived a long, happy life by his side. He didn't want to fail Sonic like he'd failed her.
All he gave his rival was a minute nod. Should either of the two be looking at him closely, they may notice his tail was beginning to dip between his legs, a sign of fear.

He was afraid of losing him.
