Welcome to Gaia! ::

Blue Bastarache felt her warmth increase the chill he was feeling, somehow. He held onto her, embracing her, feeling her wings warm him up on the outside, but not on the inside.

He felt something piece itself together momentarily on the inside, and felt his wound stop bleeding and patch itself up. He sighed, as his erratic bleeding slowed down and he laid in Raven's arms, feeling tiredness wash over him.

"I'm sorry..." he said, "...about that. And please, let us stay out of that hospital... Everytime we go there we hurt each other."

Blue Bastarache sighed, feeling her comfort surround him like an irressistable drug shooting through his veins.

"I do not know." he said, "This is something new, to me... But, don't burden yourself with it..." he managed to smile, his pain visible in that forced expression, "...It's the same old me.."

Blue Bastarache sighed, sorrow crawling inside. He felt the need to cut his own flesh open for making her feel it.

"I wish I could keep this pain away from you... Raven, I feel so mad at myself for even telling you such a sentence. I wish to know about you, how you feel, what you think..." he sighed, "It's the only way I can... keep my pain away from you." he whispered, almost inaudibly "But not from me."

Shadow smiled softly to himself as he hefted a large piece of wood and set in down on a table that he had made himself. He then backed up and looked at the wood from every angle he could; trying to decide how he should cut it. He was in the middle of building his house and this was a key piece. He had to cut the wood just right so it could be a firm and umoveable support beam.

"I think this will do." he said to himself as he made a marking on the wood and drew his sword. He then closed his eyes and concentrated. He then swung his sword and as he did, it seemed that he was swinging five different sword all at once. Each movement caused a chunk of the wood to fly off until it was cut to the right shape.

Shadow then walked through the front door frame of his new house and brought the beam with him. He smiled happily as he placed in in the hole that was to keep it in place. It fit perfectly. All he had to do was place the roof ontop of the house, secure it and put up the front door.

As he stepped out of the house, he looked happily at the Royal blue house. It was perfect, everything about it. The windows, the hieght, everything. It was the perfect two-story house he had ever seen.

He then closed his eyes as he turned to the roof that he had built earlier in the week. It lay a few yards away. He knew that he could easily lift it with his hands but he would also have to carry it up to the top of the house. So he mumbleed to himself and then shut his right hand up. As he did this, the roof began to rise from the ground as a gust of wind picked it up. He then guided it over to the house and slowly put his hand down. He then checked to make sure that the roof was on right and the walked into the house and climbed the oak stairs.

Once he reached the top, he took out a hammer and a few nine inch nails and secured the roof to the house. HE then walked back down the stairs and back out of the house.

She smiled once more and the Redwood roof shown brightly in the sun. He then picked up the great oak door that he had hand carved and placed it in the door frame. He then secured it into place and made sure that it opened and closed properly. Once he was sure that everything was just right, he walked back into the house and made sure that all of the furniture was in the proper place. The beds in the bedrooms, the chairs in the living room, the kitchen table that had been outside was now in the kitchen with eigth hand made oak chairs around in all sanded and polished. The refrigerator was also in the kitchen along with the sink and everything else. Nothing was out of place. The first and second floor looked amazing. He had never dreamed that he could have done this well.

He then looked out of the window and saw the garden that he had set up and smiled as he remembered how Kira had liked the idea. He Looked at the white picket fence that he had puit up all around their yard and couldn't wait to show everything to Kira. She wasn't expecting the house to be done. He had only started three weeks ago. But with his god-like speed he had done it. And all of this was for her. They would live a happy life here together.

Raven sighed, closing her eyes.
"You are everything...especially to me...Asellas, Blue...whoever you are, you are everything."

Raven lay her head on Blue's chest as he watched the stars.
"You make me feel like I matter...like I'm everything. I love you so much." She sighed and closed her eyes, slowly falling asleep.
((i gtg...*cries* sorry!))

Opening up his eyes to the world, Blue Bastarache felt a painful breath enter his chest. He felt the world stand still, and the stars above were still blinking to him. He felt Raven in his arms, and felt her warmth surround him.

Putting his head back, he observed the stars as they whispered to him.

(She looks so peaceful when she sleeps.) he thought, (So peaceful... It's as if she can sleep despite the pain I am giving her.)

Lying back, Blue Bastarache forced himself to sleep. He felt sleep fall down - it had never been heapier.

(I guess this is what dying is like...)

He felt sleep take over him - as his breathing decreased to a point that it was barely audible.
