Welcome to Gaia! ::

after jumping out of her office shadow came here and curled up by herself, her eyes looked as if she was about to cry. why did he have to come back now? she thought to herself as her eyes changed fire red, she took a deep breadth and layed on the grass as the wind wirled around her and the waves crashed against the nearby beach.

ikuto looked at her with oving eyes"you 18th birthday is next week..." he said smiling.
shadow finally got the courage to speak"im not ready, i cant, not yet!" she screeched in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry.
ikuto looked worried"i have seen you kill the ghouls of east asia and conquer the akuma tribe of south africa, you have travelled the world and made a name for yourself, what more do you want?" he asked still looking worried.
shadow looked upset as she hid her face in her hair"i..i...i..........i havent done enough, he wouldnt be proud of me yet"she said as a single tear fell done her cheek.
ikuto released her from the bubble and hugged her"your father was always proud of you, why cant you see that"he asked her in a soft voice, he let her go and smiled"i'll leave you to think and prepare" he said before disappearing into mist.
shadow curled up and tried to calm down.she changed back to normal and stood up and disappeared into the mist.

shadow re-entered the dimension with a spliting head ache, her instincts as a hunter going crazy, she felt a need to hunt, to attack,to fight.
ikuto suddenly appeared like a mist into the realm.not knowing shadows mood until he was there"o crap..."he said quietly trying to slowly back away.
shadow heard and felt a presence behind her and mistook this for an animal that had been created, she lunged towards ikuto and speared him to the ground,biting his arm.she suddenly realised that it wasnt an animal and she flushed and sat up"ikuto im so sorry!!!!!" she said blushing.
ikuto laughed"your instincts are going mental, whats wrong?"he asked grinning slyly.
shadow looked unsure"im not sure, something feels off, i felt it in my room and made my escape."she said laughing and standing up, giving him a hand to help him up.
ikuto took her hand and smiled"your just lucky i dont scar or by now i would look like a torture victim"he said laughing.
she looked embaressed,she punched him in the arm"uda-sai"she muttered before flushing again"i mean shut up"she said quickly.

when the music ceased they both smiled and sat down,quiet tired.the 'moon' made everything in veiw glow a beautiful silver.
shadow smiled and said"well that was fun"in a quiet voice that seemed to loud after the moments silence.
ikuto continued smiling affectionally"thats something i thought i'd never get to do with you, you kept running away"he said smiling and remembering.
shadow looked down"i just didnt think i had become great enough.....i wanted him to be proud of me...as i've said before" she said sighing, her father was always a touchy subject for conversation.
ikuto hugged her around her shoulders and smiled"i know he was...as i've said before"he said smiling before looking on the gorund, there was some ashes laying on the grass, he raised an eyebrow, she mutterd the words"the shadow tracker"before they both snickered.

shadow appeared suddenly and the entire view changed, it was sunset in a garden full of wild flowers with the sea washing onto the shore at the end of the garden, ikuto was standing at the front near a make shift alter with a 'minister' created from elements and light though he looked human.shadow walked down to them in her dress,something she had been dreading.
ikuto smiled"you look amazing"he said before the minister began.the ceremony was very short,and because there were no guests the place seemed peaceful,quiet.when they finally read their vows and said "i do" shadow had actually begun to smiling though tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes.ikuto placed the strange silver ring on her finger,it seemed to emit a small light and a small blood garnet colluored diamond lay in the silver. she smiled and put a ring on his finger before the kissed passionately but sweetly,it didnt last very long but everything faded away and changed back to normal senery when they broke the kiss.
ikuto smiled"your finally a mrs"he says laughing slightly,his face was filled joyful emotions that couldnt be put into words.
shadow smiled"your never going to let me forget that"she siad laughing as he grinned"not even for a second"he said before grabing her hand and bringing her back to the dorm,hoping his surprise had arrived.
