Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aden noticed that she pulled away from the kiss just before it got to deep. He knew what she was afraid of, and didn't want her to rush into anything. "Well I'm only in my first year at the Academy, so I have three years to go before I get my final test and become a fully fledged Reaper."

"Yeah in three years. I'll be all grown up for the most part by then as well. Should also gain a few inches in height...hopefully." He blushed and laughed nervously with wishful thinking.

"William I wish to speak to you and your and Grell's futures. I know that you're tired and just want to sleep, but what's been on my mind is of the utmost importance. You mind coming with me to my office?"

Aden blushed and smiled warmly at her flirty smile. "That would be really great and all, but the only girl that I really need is you. All those other girls will just have to leave with broken hearts."

William sat down on the other side of his desk as well. "I think I should tell you why I nominated you for that promotion. I may be the king of the death gods, but I still need the approval of the higher council before you can even get it. I nominated you for that spot because I was thinking about the outcome of the war between Heaven and Hell that Satan is planning. Grell being of royal demon lineage, and the only one of two bloods, is the only hope we have to stopping this war altogether. Grell's idea to get the respect of the demons is a great plan, but who knows how long that can take, or if at all? It's a huge risk to take living in the Shinigami Realm. I know what I'm going to say next is going to be something you're not going to like very much. I believe that the only hope we have to succeed is to have Grell on the inside, living in Hell, to make a greater impact on the demons, and perhaps a greater impact on Satan as well. He does have a human heart, and he does have history with her mom. As Grell's last job as a Shinigami after you get that promotion I'm going to order Grell to take Satan up on his Queen offer...Now you may tell me...your honest thoughts. You two can still have your wedding and childbirth here in the Shinigami Realm, as well as your honeymoon together. I'm sure that even Satan isn't that cold-blooded."

Aden thought about it and shook his head after awhile. "Nah...I don't think so. I think my mind and heart are set on you Satrina."

"I know how you must feel William, and whether you refuse or not the final choice isn't up to you. I already got the okay and go ahead for the council. Think about it this way William. Ever since Grell was born he's been an enemy of the Shinigami Realm. Even I considered him a freak and a monster. People talked about him behind his back and to his face, and even his records are blank in shame. What do you think will happen once this realm finds out Grell's little secret? The citizens will be busting down my door to either kill her, or banish her. They only think Grell a hero for now because she got rid of that one demon, but they have no idea what she did to kill him, or what powers she really has. Also if Grell is as smart as I think she is she's thinking along the same lines as me, and might have already done something on her own. Getting close to Satan is the only chance we have to end the war. Win or lose, Grell would be honored to have at least tried. Not to mention that with your promotion you'll hardly get to see her anyways, even if she did move back here for good. With her as queen of hell you'll still get to see her on your vacations, and every year on Halloween. One more thing to think about. If Grell doesn't do this then the war will in fact happen. If that happens then the angels and God will fall. The balance between good and evil will be destroyed, and the humans will destroy themselves as well. We'll not only be out of a job, but the demons will die out as well without a food source. That includes Grell who needs a human soul to live every ten years."

"I never really cared about that. I'm friends with Grell, and she's demon as well. Species never ever really mattered to me, so you're no different."

"William you don't have to go that far. Grell still loves you with all her heart, and even Satan can't take that away from you two. You can still make the relationship work out as long as you two work at it despite the setbacks. You can still see her and your child, and Grell even wrote me a letter hoping that you'll move in with her once Satan is gone....She would be rather sad without her King despite her good acting skills. You are...dismissed...Don't let this stop you from loving Grell. If you hurt her she may never forgive you for it. Demons really know how to hold a grudge."

Xander got things finished up in his office and went off to bed for the night as well.

Aden really loved being on the merry-go-round with her because of how close they were. He also enjoyed talking to her, not knowing the effect he had on her.

Aden leaned in closer to her face from the side and noticed her blush. Being innocent and naive he thought it was because she was cold or something. "Are you okay Satrina? What's with the blush on your face and your stuttering? Want to borrow my coat? I don't get cold that easily, so I really don't need it." He didn't know what was going on in her mind.

Aden sighed, knowing that it was indeed getting rather late even though he didn't want to go home just yet. He wanted to continue spending time on their date together with her. "Alright, but we're walking back home. It's about ten blocks from here, so it's not too far away okay?" Eventually the ride came to a complete stop and he got off to help her off as well.
