Pathway and Pavement Areas

*Iori watched her then stood in the way of the wind, blocking it from hitting her, a=then gave her a weird look*
My my, how old are you?
You seem mighty smart for your age.

Shizuka felt the wind get completely cut off and turned her face to look up at Iori, relieved the powerful winds dispersed. She blushed at his question and turned her gaze to the bottom left, tilting her head down modestly. "F-Fourteen..."

*he knelt down by her, still blocking the wind, and kissed her forehead lightly and quickly*
You have the intellect of a...17 year old.

"That's... tremendous praise coming from you. Thank y-you..." she softly spoke in a coo, feeling her cheeks heat up, her skin color still a porcelain cream. She moved her eyes to look back up at Iori and a heart melting smile appeared on her delicate lips.

Your welcome, but i only speak the truth.
*he shrugged, still smiling as he admired her smile*
But, its what I'd expect from a Yakumo.
*Iori patted the top of her head*

"You expect things from a Yakumo?" she felt her heart drop an inch closer to her stomach, completely devastated at the fact that she could disappoint Iori in any way at any time. Her face dropped to one of anxiety as she swallowed slowly, her body subconsciously beginning to tremble.

*his eyes widened abit and he took her shoulders into his hands*
No, its just that..
*he swallowed*
Ive seen you and Sakurai, and you both seem to have such high intelligence.
Thats all i meant by it.
*he though for a moment*
I remember you said that you have a brother, and even though i havent met him, i bet hes just as smart as the two of you?
*Yagami showed a reassuring smile, moving a hand to her chin and looking deep in her eyes*

Shizuka listened to Iori and how frantic he had become to explain to her what he meant. She was here wallowing in self-pity while he was trying his very best to clear anything that would affect her negatively. She hated herself for doing that and not realizing it, enough to make her eyes sting slightly at the feel of her eyes watering, but not a single tear shed. "Yeah, Kukai is... the more level-headed one... I'm so sorry if I overreacted... I just don't want to disappoint you." she watched his firm and honest eyes with her own, her face becoming less anxious, her muscles and figure relaxing back to it's delicate composure.

*his hand went over to one of her pigtails and he played with it while speaking to her*
It would take you alot more than that for me to be mad at you.
*his other hand moved to her jaw as his thumb ran across her soft lips*
So cheer up please.
*he gave a ^-^ face to her, then spoke again*
You know, if you're sad, im sad as well.

Shizuka nodded to his explanation, his voice melting away her insecurities of upsetting him. His reassuring touch to her jaw then her lips made Shizuka give a fragile smile, one that looked as if it could have shattered with the slightest of pressure. She placed a small, petite hand over his and kissed the tip of his thumb tenderly. "I'm sorry, I'll be happy so you can be happy. Is that alright?"

*he smiled at her tender kiss and nodded*
Very alright.
*smiling at her, then toward the amusement park*
What...is that?
*he narrowed his eyes toward the ferris wheel*
Its gigantic.

Shizuka kindly took his hand in hers and turned her attention and body towards the ferries wheel, seeing the colorful lights flash designs on it, almost like never ending fireworks. "That's a ferris wheel. It carries many small cars for normally two people and all of Hokkaido can be seen from it. It has breathtaking views and it stops at the top for a couple of minutes." she finished her explanation to the best her knowledge and turned back to Iori with a childish smile. "Would you like to go?"

Yes, im very curious about it.
*Iori stood up, Shizuka's hand in his as he looked at the Ferris wheel, his eyes turning a gark, dull red*

Shizuka didn't have enough time to notice Iroir's eyes change color as he stood up, towering over her. She bowed her head slightly and lifted it back up, walking down the walkway in the direction of the ferris wheel, staring at it's glittering lights.

*he followed behind Shizuka, tracing the contours of her with his eyes dully*

*walks in with a mirror in her hand looking at her appearance*
"I look different, might as well get use to this new look."
*giggles and then walks around on the pathway, headphone in ears and ipod in hand*

*starts dancing randomly, singing to the music, just having fun*

*finishes then walks out of the area goes to the waterfall*

*appears with a gust of wind, lowering her blood covered hand from her mouth and walking down the pavement with resentment in her eyes*

*He appears, holding something*
I believe you forgot these.
*He hands Sakurai's shoes to her*

*takes her shoes with her clean hand and takes a step back, sighing and bowing her head*

*He closes his eyes*
You should be worrying about that.
*He gestures towards the blood on Sakurai's hand*

*she closes the bloody hand into a loose fist and keeps her head bowed, closing her eyes halfway*

Yes, sir.

*He sighs, taking her hand and cleaning it*
Do you feel any better?

Yes sir.

*inhales and closes her eyes, standing still and doing nothing to stop Daryan from cleaning her hand*
