A Wonderful Evening (V, FINISHED)

[nshansen]

Lying down on the warn sand, resting in a comfortable position, Shiro thought about his life. This was the place he wanted to live. He would definitely come here when his journey was over, do doubt about it. Watching the clouds peacefully move. Watching the peaceful tides; watching the sun go down while not worrying about heartless. What could get any better? The question is… When will my journey end? he thought. A good seven months back, his life was a total dump. Always trying to help others not become what he was. He thought his life was a total waste. But now look at him? Shiro was resting on the ground, enjoying life. How did that happen? It wasn’t Destiny Islands at all. It was all V, his love. He was the luckiest man in the world to have such a beautiful and wonderful girl with him. His journey would never end as long as he was with V. Since that was the case, he never wanted his journey to end.

Now only if V was with him, enjoying the warmth, watching the clouds, lying down, hand in hand, what he was doing right then. Maybe… V and I will be together for the rest of our lives... Smiling at the nice thought, he closed his eyes slowly, resting his eyes. He hadn’t seen her all day. Hopefully they would bump into each other before sun down. Then they could at least spend some of their day together. What a wonderful day he had… He learned a lot that day. He learned the name of the place, which was a very good thing. He also learned a few other things. As he rested, Shiro waved his hand in a peaceful fashion, making sand float in the air and swing to a rhythm that was in his head. It sort of looked like he was conducting a piece of music. Before, he didn’t know he could use his powers for something this peaceful. He liked using gravity to do these kinds of things.

His head felt like the beginning of a possible head ache, so he quickly stopped making the sand dance. After a few seconds, the feeling vanished, and Shiro opened up his eyes, which was a bad idea. Sand got in his eye. Quickly, he stopped lying down and forced himself into a sitting position. Then, with a little gravity, he changed the gravity of the small amount of sand which was in his eye. So, after a second, the sand was out of his eyes and was now resting on his legs. Blinking a few times, he looked to the left and the right to see if anyone was there. There was nothing on his right side, but as he looked to the left, he saw a figure in the distance. Squinting his eyes, he tried to identify who it was. First thing he could tell it was a girl. And then, the identity quickly came to him as examined how she looked. It was V. Wonderful. While sitting, he waved at her with a small smile. And with that, he slowly got up and looked to his left to see if V saw him or not.

[ayama]

V yawned as she exited the gummi ship, and made her way our onto the sandy beach of Destiny Islamds. She sighed, 'Awww man...' she thought, trying to keep her ete's open. 'I overslept...and still I feel exhausted!'

She let out another sigh, 'not only that though...but Shiro's gone as well." At this V couldn't help but feel a little sad, if she hadn't watched Shira's fight with Mikhail...she probablly wouldn't be in this situation right now...

But the duel was so exciting, and even if V wanted to pull away from the scene and just sleep, she couldn't! 'Shira and Mikhail...' she thought, picturing a scene of the two in direct combact. 'Their really amazing...'

At this V looked down at the ground sadly, 'oh well...I'll just have to work harder...'

When she looked back up then, she saw a figure not too far away. 'hmmm?' she thought curiously, as the figure waved at her. 'could that be...' Suddenly V felt the figures aura. She smiled, she could tell who's aura it was, and instantly ran towards the figure.

As she got closer, and closer she could see a familiar face. Her lover, Shiro. Her smile grew, as she literally jumped at him, giving the gravity-controller a hug. "good morning!" she beamed happily, as she kissed the man softly on the lips.

[nshansen]

Seeing the excited V run towards Shiro made him smile. Once again, he had to think about how lucky he was to have a girlfriend like her. Though, the thoughts were interrupted by V’s jump and hug. Surprised by the reaction he was, but he gladly accepted it. When her soft lips met his, he wrapped his arms around her. As V started to speak, his arms dropped back to his sides. Morning? How long has she been asleep? It was in the afternoon. Chuckling at her comment, he pointed at sun. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, love, but it looks like you overslept,” he told her. When finished speaking, Shiro stopped pointing at the sun. “But for what it’s worth, good morning,” he said with a small smile as he looked into his love’s eyes.

“So, where were you yesterday?” Shiro asked as he turned around and started to pace around on the warm sand. Finding a random tree, he rested his back against it and looked at V. He wanted to start a conversation with her. He hasn’t talked to her all day. Also, he was quite curious on what she did while he was sleeping in the gummi ship. He noticed the wind was stronger than it was earlier. It was pretty windy. As he felt the wind blow through his hair, he simply looked at V, the only one in the universe that he really cared about, while waiting for her answer. A peaceful world they were in, and he was quite glad that they could spend the rest of their day here. There would be no heartless. There would be no nobodies. And more importantly, there would no violence.

Though, there was something that could end his day badly, and he was planning on taking a risk after their conversation to make sure that they could have a good time.

[ayama]

V looked up, as the gravity controller pointed at the sky, chuckeling he said. "Im sorry to dissapoint you, love, but it looks like you overslept."

At this the girl pouted. If there was anything she hated, it was sleeping in. For to V, sleeping was just something to waste the day. If only she could stay awake 24/7 like Shira could...but trying how she could do that was a mystery to V. Perhaps she drinks lots of coffee?

In her thoughts, V's attention was then drawn back to Shiro as he spoke once again. "But for what it's worth, good morning." he said smiling.

The girl couldn't help but smile back at her love, V was always glad when Shiro smiled. It gave her a sort of happiness, just knowing that he was happy. And if that was the case, then she was too. She then watched as he moved to a tree to lean against it. V getting tired of standing, sat on the ground, bringing her legs up to her chest, as her arms wrapped around them.

"So where were you yesterday?" Shiro asked.

V looked at Shiro with a blank look, she played with the some of the sand with her hands and smiled. "Im sorry!" she said, bowing her head. "I know I shouldve probablly waited until you were awake, but the sky looked so beautiful and...well I got curious and decided to explore the island a bit."

At this, V looked up and laughed embarassly, scratching the back of her head. "Anyway...while I was exploring...I bumped into this guy named Mikhail, I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going...heh...We talked for a bit, and he explained to me a little bit about this world. Well then, Shira wanted to fight, and I probablly wouldn't have overslept if she hadn't forced me into asking Mikhail to a duel."

Pausing, V sighed, "oh well...watcha gonna do? No use in complaining about it now."

She looked back up at Shiro, then taking a deep breath she continued. "The fight was amazing! You would've loved it Shiro! Mikhail and Shira were really going at it, and it was just really great! Words can only discribe little of what it was like." At the end of her sentence V yawned, "And skipping forward, after the end of the fight, I literally dragged myself back to the gummi ship...I was so tired..."

At this V let out a short laugh, "And getting myself onto one of the gummi ship chairs, I fell asleep...and well...here I am!" The girl put her hands in the air, as if she had just performed some type of magic trick. Then smiling, she dropped her hands to her side, and looked at Shiro, waiting for a response.

[nshansen]

Chuckling at her first statement, he quickly replied, “I’m not surprised,” in a humorous tone. He, even though he hated to admit it, would have a hard time staying with his love if their positions were swapped. Sure, he’d probably stay with her, but it would be damn convincing to just leave the gummi ship and walk on the warm and soft sand and enjoy the peaceful winds.

So Mikhail was here? What was he doing here…? He dismissed the thought, knowing that it would distract him from V’s words. He was listening with full attention. Though the thought did make him a little bit curious… No! Shiro quickly snapped out of it, continuing to listen to the beautiful girl that was talking to him. It didn’t surprise him that Shira was involved. Whenever a fight is ever in a situation, Shira would always be watching or fighting. Fights seemed to be the only thing that interested her.

Shiro chuckled at V’s excited tone as she spoke. “I bet it was…” he commented after the battle statement. As V let out a laugh, he did the same. She must’ve had a blast the other day. He had an interesting one. Walking over towards V, who was sitting in the sand, he said, “Sounds like you had a blast,” with a smile. Like V did before, he sat on the ground cross-legged.

It was now time to make their night perfect. Looking to the right of him, he looked at the sky as he spoke, “Peaceful world isn’t it? How often do we come across these?” As soon as he said that, his mind said “never”. Looking back at V, he spoke again before she could answer, “Since this is a rare occasion, and I know we’ll probably leave tomorrow, I was thinking about the possibility of us spending the night together alone. You know nothing fancy or anything like that. I just want to spend the remaining hours of complete peace with you. It’s not often when we come across these kind of worlds.”

Though, V probably didn’t understand what he meant by “us”. Before she could answer, he told her, “And when I say “us”, I mean just us. Since you overslept and probably won’t be tired for a while, could we have a “Shira” free night? I know it’s a lot to ask, but I just want to spend the rest of our time here with you and you only.” After finishing his question, he felt a sudden guilt. What he had said was probably rude and probably offended Shira or maybe even V. Looking quickly at the ground, he said, “Um... Never mind, that was very rude and selfish of me…” Still looking at the sand, he waited for his love’s response.

[ayama]

V laughed at her love's embarrasement, "Not at all!" she exclaimed, "Im sure Shira wouldn't mind...though I'm not sure if she can fall asleep as easily as I can."

V let out another laugh, but she did have to wonder...was it possible for her to do something without Shira? Afterall she was her guide. Through the years that she spent with the darker personality, there was never a decision where she didn't ask Shira for help. But then again, those were the days she was uncofident about herself.

Now, V was starting to act more independantly. She wasn't afraid to go with what she thought was right, and ever since Shiro and her became a pair, she was beggining to feel like a real person again. She didn't need to lie anymore, cause she knew that her friends would always be there to help her. And that made the girl feel really happy.

She smiled at Shiro then mentally contacting Shira said. "Hey! Good afternoon!"

There was no reply at first, but then after a few secounds she heard a sigh. "Good afternoon V...what's up?"

"Nothing much." V replied. "Hey listen, could you idk..."

"Spill it."

"Well I was wondering if you could you know, disappear for awhile...You see, Shiro is planning something and...ugh well...he only wants him and me to spend the time togeather...so...could you fall asleep or something? I'm sorry! I don't mean to sound rude."

"Not at all..." Shira replied, "Ill go to sleep for a bit...I need to think about somethings anyway..."

"Are you sure your ok with this?" V asked.

"I hope you two have a good time." Shira responded, a strange tone in her voice.

"Wait Shira-" V tried to say, but then Shira broke the mind link. Confused, V looked down at the ground. Was it just her...or did Shira actually sound...kinda sad?

She was about to connect the mind link again, but soon decided against it. Perhaps she just wanted to be alone. Looking back up, she smiled at Shiro. "She says it's ok...she'll soon be asleep."

At that moment V took ahold of her lover's hand, "so! Lead the way!"

[nshansen]

Damn, he felt guilty, even after V told him it was okay. Though, no matter how much he wanted to tell V that it was alright, and that she wouldn't have to do it for him, he didn't like the idea that someone was watching every single thing that they did. So, he remained quiet, waiting for a response from his love. To pass the short amount of time, he did the same thing he did when he was resting earlier. Making the sand jump up and down made the man smile, just because of the fact that he could do peaceful things like what he was doing. Though, the thought of the destruction and pain he could do still lurked in his mind. He didn't know what to call his gravity powers. A curse? Or a gift? That debate often appeared in his complicated head. Though, when V was with him, all the thoughts of misery and pain went "poof".

Smiling as V spoke, he thought, Thank you, Shira... Then, as she took his hand, Shiro stood up, helping V up to her feet. Now what should they do first? Explore the wonderful and peaceful island? That sounded like a plan. But where would they go first? He didn't know about V, but he pretty much knew nothing about the island besides some "facts". Turning his head a little bit, examining his surroundings. Something caught his eye. It was a beautiful waterfall... And as his eyes blinked once, he knew where they were going to go first.

As he led V to the handmade path, which led to the waterfall, he decided to spark up a conversation. As they walked on the warm sand, he asked, "So how do you feel? About this world? Do you miss the action that we find on the other worlds? Or do you like the break from it?" He surely didn't miss it. He didn't miss it at all. But he was curious on what V thought. Perhaps she missed it. Shiro guessed that Shira missed it. But V was different from Shira. Though he didn't know if she felt the same way as him or not.

The atmosphere was completely perfect. He never would've imagined that his eyes would see a place like this. Taking a deep breath of the fresh and relaxing air, he waited for V's response.

[ayama]

V stood in awe, as Shiro led her to a most beautiful waterfall. "wow!" she exclaimed happily, her smile widening. She rushed towards the water, and taking her shoes off put her feet in the water. It felt nice, the cold liquid surrounding her feet and going through her toes. She sighed, then looking up at Shiro she listened to his questions.

"So how do you feel? About this world? Do you miss the action that we find on the other worlds? Or do you like the break from it?" he asked.

V looked up at the sky, of course the answer was obvious. She tilted her head back to look at her love, so that it looked like he was backwards, then smiling she answered.

"I love it here...The atmosphere is just perfect for me, and the fact we get a break from fighting makes my view of this world even better."

At this she looked back at the water, seeing her reflection looking right back at her. "Its nice that a place such as this actually exists..." she continued. "It sort of gives me hope in a way...like saying peace might actually be possible in the universe...we just need to keep fighting for it. You know?"

At this she looked up at Shiro, and waited for his response.

[nshansen]

Shiro nodded at V's words. What she said definitely made him think. He never thought about that before. Perhaps the rest of the universe could be like this world if they fought for it. He probably wouldn't see it in his lifetime, but maybe the future generations would. Oh that would be perfect. Watching peace throughout the universe in heaven. Damn, he would feel accomplished seeing that.

"Yeah, it kinda does give you that thought, doesn't it?" he said. He thought about joining V in the water, but something caught his eye. Shiro, was a observer. He examined almost everything he saw, so when he looked at something, he looked at every detail. And right then, he saw a small little hole to the left of the water hole. The average human would never see it from a distance. "Hey, V, look," he told her as he pointed at the hole. His instincts told him to go into it. So he decided to go into it. "Lets see what it is." he told himself and V.

He walked over to the small passage way, and then he knelt down. Brushing few of the leaves away, he crawled into it. It wasn't a long way to crawl, because the top quickly got higher. He was able to stand up, but not all the way. He still had to keep his head down, otherwise he'd hit his head. Shiro found himself in a area where drawings were all over the wall. It was quite odd... The gravity controller looked at each and every drawing. It looked liked kids drew them. Turning his head a little, he looked to see if V had followed him into the place. "Weird, right?"

[ayama]

V was surprised as Shiro pointed out a small hole nearby, nowhow did she miss that? She immediately got out of the water, and followed her love as he entered the small cavern. Bending slightly so not to hit jet head against the hard rock cieling. Good think she was short!

As they followed the small pathway into an area full of childrens drawings all around, V couldn't help but laugh.

"Wierd right?" her love said turning his head towards her.

V shook her head, "No, it's cute!"

She then went to a nearby wall and touched the scratch marks of a drawing, Suddenly something caught her eye, she turned her head to see a large round door, with gold lining on the edge.

"Whats that?" she asked, moving from the wall to the door. She turned towards Shiro with a curious look.

[nshansen]

Shiro smiled at V's response and knelt down next to one of the walls. There was an odd drawing at the bottom. It showed a boy and a girl giving each other something. It was a... Star? No, he remembered this. He learned about it earlier. It was a paopu fruit. According to legend, if two people shared one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each others lives no matter what. Huh, he never would've guessed that kids would want to share one with each other. It sounded like a thing that kids would dare each other to eat. Wait, that kid... The hair... Didn't he meet one with the same kind of hairstyle? Before he could think about it anymore, his love interrupted his thoughts.

"Whats that?" she asked him. He turned his head a little bit to see what she was talking about. It was a door? Now that had his attention. Shiro stood up and walked over to V.

"I don't know..." he said, staring at the door. "It has no knob. Maybe its not meant to be open. Stand back." Perhaps he could open it? It wouldn't be a problem, would it? Aiming his hands at the door, he concentrated. He wanted to tear it out of the ground. Shit! He quickly stopped concentrating. That door was in there for good. He couldn't even make it shake before his head started to hurt. "Yeah, its not meant to be opened," he guessed, shaking his head. Changing the subject, he quickly scanned all the drawings on the walls.

"I kinda envy these kids. You know, seeing these drawings, seeing the peaceful lives they had." he said as he paced around. While he paced, he looked at his love for a response.

[ayama]

V nodded her head slightly as a response to Shiro, though her attention was still towards the door. She was kinda dissapointed that her love couldn't open it, but perhaps he was right...there were some doors that were just meant to be closed, and not worth trying to open. But that still didn't mean she couldn't curious about what the door could hold right?

Veering her attention back at Shiro she smiled, "Im sort of jealous too..." she said walking to the side of him and taking his hand. "But...we musnt hold any spite in our hearts...we were just unlucky is all...our lives started off on the wrong foot...however,"

She cut off to look up at her loves face, "Id say it's gotten better dontcha think?" at this the girl smiled, and letting out a short laugh poked the man's arm. "Your it!" she shouted, and suddenly dashed out of the cave.

[nshansen]

He nodded at V's response. She was right. Their lives did start off on the wrong foot. Though, now that he thought about it, he was glad that they did. Otherwise, if he did have a nice childhood, he wouldn't be who we was right then. There was also the possibility of him never meeting V. Even if he had all the best stuff in the universe, his life wouldn't be complete without her.

Shiro just had to smile at V's next words. Hell ya it did. And with that single thought, he went along with the game of tag that she had just started. Normally, he wouldn't do it in public, but what the hell, he was in a good mood. Darting after her, he exited the cave. Though, he accidentally hit his head on the way out. Stepping outside of the tunnel, he felt his head. That hurt... Quickly snapping back to the game, he looked to where his love had went.

(make sures to run over to crooked tree XD)

[ayama]

V ran as fast as she could as she exited the cave, she wasn't sure where to go, and stopped for a moment to look at her surroundings. There were many places to run to, but what caught her eye was a crooked tree, that was just in front of her, except on higher ground.

She heard footsteps quickly follwing behind her out of the cave, 'might as well.' she thought, and without hesitating started to run again. She went to the nearest ladder she could find, then turning her head to face Shiro stuck her tongue out at him.

"you can't catch me!" she shouted jokingly, and so not to get caught went up the ladder. Once she got onto higher ground she immediately ran to the crooked tree, jumping ontop of the room of some sort of shack, to crossing a bridge.

Finally, she reached her destination, and trying to find a good hiding spot, climbed ontop of one of the palm trees. She duck her head low between the leaves, and trying to hold back a laugh thought. 'he won't find me!'

Now many people would consider this sort of action very childish, but what could V say? She basically was a child! Though her age didn't really agree. She smiled, and keeping herself quiet awaited to hear the footsteps of her love Shiro.

[nshansen]

"You can't catch me!"

Eyes widened, Shiro quickly turned his head towards the noise. And there she was, beautiful as ever. And with that thought, he sprinted towards her. Now Shiro was a fast runner, though before he could get to her, she was already on a higher level. He thought about using gravity to quickly get up, but he decided not to. He wasn't in a rush to end it soon. Shiro then climbed up the ladder and then headed towards V. When he got to the shack, he quickly jumped just like V did before.

Though, the bad part was that he didn't land in the right place. He landed too close to the ledge and lost his balance. And then "Boom", Shiro fell. He got up of course, since he did land on sand and nothing was injured. But his eyes weren't on V anymore. He had lost her. Oh well, he guessed he would have to find her the hard way.

To make up for the lost time, he altered his gravity a little bit to just get himself onto the roof a little faster. When done, he walked over to the bridge. Now where was she, the question that went through his mind as he scanned the beach. He was dead smack in the middle of the bride and was now looking for the love of his life. Hmm... An idea came to the gravity controller's mind and instantly, Shiro yelled, "Marco!" And with that, he waited for "Polo".
