seeing Icha Icha books: Sonic: "Whoa, what is this? These books are... steamy! But hey, maybe I can pick up some new speed techniques from this!" Tails: *blushes* "Um, Sonic, I think we should stay away from those books. They're definitely not meant for kids." Knuckles: *raises an eyebrow* "Huh, I never thought Naruto would be into this kind of stuff." Amy: *covers her eyes* "Oh my gosh, how embarrassing! I can't believe I'm seeing this! Sonic, we need to get rid of these books!" Shadow: *snickers* "I knew Naruto had a soft side, but I didn't expect this. It's quite entertaining, I must say." Rouge: *smirks* "Well, well, well, looks like Naruto has some hidden desires. Maybe I should borrow these books for a little research." Silver: *starts blushing* "Uh, guys? Can we please put those books away? I don't think it's appropriate for us to be looking at those." Cream: *confused* "I don't understand what's so interesting about those books. They seem different from our usual adventures." Big: *innocently* "Froggy and I prefer reading fishing magazines. We should stick to those instead." Espio: *raises an eyebrow* "I can't believe Naruto would read such explicit literature. I suppose everyone has their own guilty pleasures." Vector: *laughs* "Well, well, well, Naruto's got some spicy taste! Maybe we should organize a book club for these Icha Icha novels!" Charmy: *giggles* "Ha, Icha Icha sounds silly! But if it's Naruto's favorite, maybe it's worth checking out!"

Sonic: "Wait, Shadow? You're actually interested in reading the second part of Icha Icha? That's unexpected. I wonder what kind of story it has." Tails: *surprised* "Shadow, I didn't think you'd be into that kind of stuff. I guess even the Ultimate Lifeform has his own guilty pleasure." Knuckles: *raises an eyebrow* "Huh, didn't take Shadow for a romance novel fan. Well, to each their own, I guess." Amy: *blushes profusely* "Shadow! You really shouldn't be reading those books. They're not appropriate! I expected better from you." Rouge: *smirks* "Oh my, Shadow, not only do you have a taste for danger, but now you like some steamy literature too? The dark side just got even darker." Silver: *shocked* "Shadow, I can't believe you would read something like that. It goes against our sense of justice. Please, put that book away." Cream: *wide-eyed* "Oh, my goodness! Shadow, you shouldn't be reading those books. They're not suitable for someone like you." Big: *innocently* "Shadow, Froggy and I don't really understand these books, but we trust that you know what you're doing." Espio: *raises an eyebrow* "Shadow, I didn't expect you to be so invested in reading the second part. I suppose there's more to you than meets the eye." Vector: *laughs* "Ha! Shadow, the Ultimate Lifeform, reading romance novels? Who would've thought? This is too good!" Charmy: *giggles* "Wow, Shadow! I never thought you'd be interested in something like that. You're a surprising guy!"
