Ch. 10 Morning
Previously: Shadow was still out cold Hikari suspect from all that running and power released on top of fighting, staying up late, and worrying. Hikari stretches as she wakes smiling, trying not to move too much that she wake him. She enjoys him being wrapped around her.
Now:
Hikari slides the arm she was laying on under Shadows and lightly strokes his back. He fells the knots and tension that has built up in his back and slowly starts working them out, starting with as much of the shoulder he was laying on that she could the accesses, then across his upper back. She then gets his neck before working on the shoulder of the arm holding her. She worked on his lower back that was above his pants line, taking her time since she was doing it one handed but she was enjoying feeling his fur and skin. Shadow makes a kind of groaning sound but relaxes as he feel his back being massaged, still asleep and holds her a bit closer. Hikari wince a little when he tightens, do to the fact that her chest, back, and stomach fell like one big bruise. She snuggles into the white fur on his chess her tail swaying happily as she keeps massaging his back. While they lay there the phone rings. Shadow while still asleep holds Hikari slightly closer in his sleep, saying in body language, "Don't bother with it." Hikari smiles and holds her hand at the small of his back. She had got all the knots out but not wanting to get the phone either. Finally the answering machine picks up the phone, "BEEEP Uah Hello this is the captain speaking just wanted to say that you were given a 2 week leave with pay so you don't have to come in. I am sure you are probably sleeping now just had to tell you so you didn't have to come in and find out latter see ya in 2 weeks." The Captain's voice said then he hung up. Hikari smiles and snuggles ageist Shadow some more. She lays there happily nuzzled under his chin and in his chest fur as her stomach starts to grumble. Shadow relaxes his hold on her still asleep. Hikari smiles and regrets that what she had to do next but she was starting to remember just how little she ate. So she slowly starts to get up not wanting to wake him. Shadow shifts a bit when moved and rotates to lay on other shoulder facing away from her still asleep. Hikari smiles then walks thou the bathroom into her old room. She had the handgun from under the pillow in her hand as she gets her holsters and some clothes and a trench coat from her closet before heading back into the bathroom locking the door to her room. She sets the jacket on the floor and the clothes on the counter then starts to heat up the shower she lays the handgun just outside the shower as she undress's then gets in the glass already fogging up.
Shadow wakes up groggily and walks out of the room and into the hallway expendably walking into the wall before going into the hall. Hikari the heat from the water seems to leasing her bruise, she gets out and dress into the black cargo pants she brought in. She slides on her lag holsters on over it, two on each thigh, and then two guns hidden in each boot. Next she put on her top and her shoulder harness with two more weapons, which was nothing more than what she normally wore. She picks up the trench putting it on with two hidden handguns in quick launch in each sleeve. Next she puts up her hair in her trade mark pony tail, a sniper like rifle hidden in it, before exiting back into shadows room. Shadow was not there as she looks around for him, trying not to let her paranoia get the better of her. She starts looking around a little frantic hurrying out into the hall. Seeing that he was not in the hall either made a whimper escapes past her lips. She makes herself head downstairs, not even paying attention to all the bunch of breakfast type food on the dining room table, things like eggs toast waffles and even a bowl of cereal with a glass of apple juice. She sighs subconsciously as she walks into kitchen, her breath caches in her thought and she tries to swallow it back down as she looks around not seeing Shadow. Not long after that Shadow comes in carrying a bunch of bags, which causes Hikari to sigh subconsciously. "Can I help?" She asks.
"I got it." Shadow said as he puts the bags on the counter. Hikari smiles and sits at the table watching him, pull out allot of groceries and put them on the counter. She smiles grabbing the bowl of cereal and starts eating it as she watches him. Shadow looks through the cabinets one by one to see what was in it and after a bit figures out where everything goes, he starts to put things away. Hikari smiles eating the cereal finishing as Shadow plops down into chair sill looking a little tiered. "Enjoying your breakfast?" He asks.
Hikari nods, "thank you!" She said with a smile. Shadow leans back and closes his eyes taking breaths deeply but calmly. Hikari smiles, "Why don't you go to bed? You look like you are still tiered." She tried but Shadow had already beat her too it, by seemingly falling asleep in the chair. Hikari smiles as she eats as much as she could of the rest of the food and cleans up as quite as she can so not to wake him. Seeing him still asleep she grabs a blanket and laid it over him with a smile. She then heads into the entry, pressing some keys and then headed into the basement. Later when Shadow wakes up realizing that he had fallen asleep in the chair and puts his hand on his head with a growly, "Uughh."
Hikari was down in the basement with the door closed, in a small room that was in the basement that was set behind yet another sound proof wall. It had a glass like window to see into the room, which was also soundproof. She was standing there weapon drawn pointed at a target, the weapon recoiling in her hand with each shot, only a slight grimace on her face with each shot. Shadow kind of scoots downstairs into the main storage and work room, and watches her from nearby. She keeps firing empting the clip and reloads, Shadow keeping silent watch over her, as he leans up against the wall behind her. Her teeth seem to clench, as she fire so he moves up and lightly lays his hand on her shoulder making her jump at his touch, and she starts to turn the gun towards him just as a reaction. Shadow does not even flinch, and Hikari sets the weapon down on the counter in front of her. "Sorry." She said in a low voice as he just holds her closely to him. She snuggles into his chest, her shoulder harness, and sleeve guns were barley even able to be felt thou the thickness of the trench, as she raped her arms around him as she held on.
"You need to lighten the load Hikari." He says as he slowly takes off her trench and then holds her closely to him again. She could feel a big difference in the two hugs. The trench was a LOT heaver then it looked him just slide it down her shoulders and they could hear it as it almost makes a hole in the floor. She snuggled into his white chest fur, still shaken by what had happened, she was just hiding it quite well. The thought of how useless she was without a gun and how she was helpless against anything they wanted to do, just kept repeating in her mind. Shadow held her closer and more firmly to him as if he knew her thoughts. She hated the fact that she could do nothing but wait to be rescued, that all she could do was sit there, and if for some reason it had been him that Eggman took she probably would have been just a useless. Her thoughts making her jaw starting to tense up again as she got angry at herself tears starting to form in her eyes. Shadow kisses the top of her head, thou she could not help it as a low growl formed in her thought, but it was not directed to Shadow it as just her being mad at herself, she did not even realizing that tears had started to fall down her cheeks. Shadow puts his finger under her chin and lifts her face to look into his and not say a word as he gives her a deep long kiss sticking his tongue into her mouth and feeling all around it.
Hikari's growl is stopped instantly, "OH MY GOD! Could he really be or am I... no he defiantly is... why me? Why would you want me? Why am I lucky enough to have you?" She thinks as her knees seem to give and she is supported by his embrace, as her eyes close as she kisses back a little timidly. Shadow cradles her in his arms and carries her away. She was still kind of hypoed out by his kiss but was still a bit concern of what was going on. She sighed as the kiss is broke and raps her arm lightly around his neck. She was not even thinking of the hand gun sitting on the counter anymore. She leaned her head onto his shoulder as he carried her over to his room. He opens the door and lays her down into the bed. She blinks as she blushes a little not really knowing what to expect from him. To tell the truth she did not know what he really expected from her. He slowly take off her shoulder harness, both weapons still inside, and throw it off to the floor, her heart beat quickened as did her breathing. "Relax." He purrs as he goes down and unties her boots. Slowly takes them off one by one and putting them on the floor each with a small thud, the weapons she had tucked into them sliding off into each boot as they were removed. She could not help but swallow hard as she tries to relax. Shadow rubbed up her leg and slowly unbuttons her pants. He pulls them down off of her legs and pushes them down onto the floor another loud thud. She could have sworn her hart beet was so load that someone passing by outside could hear it. She tried to calm down, as her pants, lag holsters and all hit the floor. Shadow reaches his arm down under her head, under the pillow and grabs the hand gun underneath it. Pulling it out and drops it on the floor with another thud, her breath stuck into her throat. Thou she didn't really know why she felt completely naked even thou she still had cloths left, she sakes a little not really knowing what to expect trying to get her heart beet under control. Shadow lies down on her side and gently pets her stomach looking at the side of her head. Hikari turns her head towards him looking right into his red eyes. Shadow moves his hand around her stomach and pulls her closer to him slowly. Her breath ketches for a sec but then she smiles and rolls towards him putting her nose centimeters from his.
Shadow moves next to her ear, "Love me as I love you." He whispered.
Hikari blink, not quite sure what he meant. "I'll do my best." she says low. "I do love you Shadow!" She added as Shadow: lightly strokes her cheek smiling into her eyes. She smiled at him, even thou she was feeling a little more exposed then she was used to. Shadow gently rubbed her tank top over her stomach and then goes under in and rubs her stomach directly. With his other arm wraps it around her and holds her closely. She lays in his arms her eyes closing and just enjoying his touch on her skin, her tail starting to wag happily on its own.
"Rest my love for you will learn and readjust soon." He tells her as he pets her head while rubbing her stomach. Hikari opens her eyes looking at him a little confused but then relaxes back into his touch. "Rest Hikari… just like this." He told her as she smiles and snuggles into him, snuggling just under his chin. Shadow rests his head on her head closing his eyes and breathing deeply not wanting this to end. She nuzzles in also not wanting it to end her tail wagging back in ageist the bed happily her breath coming to her much more relaxed now. Shadow was the first to falls asleep with her. His head laid on her head and arms wrapped around her. She quickly replaces the gun under the pillow then curls into him right before she dozes off herself, their body's barley touching as they both lay on their sides facing each other.
When Hikari awoke she notices that Shadow wasn't there and her guns and cloths were gone from the bedroom. She blinks looking around a little frantic, as she enter the bathroom she found a different set of cloths were folded in a small pile on the bathroom sink and there was only two handguns with them. She grit her teeth a little as she worked on calming herself, "Two is better than none... that's at less 26 shots." She thinks heading over and turning the shower on. She takes a cold shower to try and help calm herself. "I've been caring no less than 8 for so long that maybe I've had started to really on having so many that I'm not using what I did have the best I could." she thought to herself as she showered. She did not notice the ice forming on the shower door as she washed, or that her burse had completely fade. She did not notice the tempter of the water at all. As she dressed she did notice that there was only a tee, a pair of pants, and her boots to ware. She dressed sliding the weapons into the outside of her boot before steeping back into Shadow's room. She shifted her cloths around a little and almost tempted to go into her room to get some, well undergarments, "at less a bra." She thought as she walked out. Shadow was also entering the room from the other door,
"Is everything alright love?" He asked.
"Just not use to going around without the added support... or my other weapons." She told him.
"Do you need more?" He asked.
"Not for just staying around the house... the trench from yesterday was actually a gift from a friend... it bullet proof." She said with a shrug, as to say, so I really didn't need it yesterday.
"Oh yea." He said looking at her with a bit of a I knew what you really was thinking, look. Hikari nods with an innocent smile as she walks over and gives him a hug, and he hugs back. She smiles and starts to head downstairs heads into the kitchen. She starts to make them breakfast as Shadow smiles and goes into the bathroom. When he comes down Hikari has the table set and is putting food out on it. She is already sitting eating hers when he walks in spikes down from being all wet. She smiles as she eats, making herself eat to keep her jaw from dropping.
"He looks even more handsome after a shower." she thinks her tail swaying back and forth behind her the white fur of her cheeks tint pink as she blushes at her own thought.
Shadow sits down with a, "Thanks for the food."
"No problem... it was only right since you cooked yesterday." She said as she smiles at him. Shadow eats the food at a moderate pace.
"It was my pleasure to cook for you." He told her making her blushed a little more as she eats. She finishes her food and takes her dishes into the kitchen where she rinses it and puts it in the dish washer. She adds the soup since Shadow's dish would make a complete load. Shadow finishes his food and puts it in the dishwasher. Hikari smiles as she starts the dishwasher, then she grabs a trash bag and starts to head back upstairs she head into what use to be her room. Then she starts cleaning it up.
"Are you all bored now that you are on two weeks paid leave?" Shadow asked.
"Well without a computer... a little... but I know I need to clean this up... so I can replace what was broke... and have GUN pay for it... thou I'd be a worse if you were not here." She told him as she cleaned.
"Alright." He replied as he helped Hikari go thru her room. She pulled out what she could but a lot of her stuff not in her closet was trashed. She pulled it all up into on big stack. "Need help?" Shadow asked seeing her with the big bag.
"Sure thou I'm not quite sure where we are going to put all this trash? It's not like we have a dumpster." She said as she looks out the window and see that the neighbors did have a dumpster. So she starts bringing things to the window and chucking them out the window sending them to land with ease into the dumpster.
"Think we can use there's?" Shadow asked.
"I don't think they will mind to much." She said with a smile as she continues to throw things into the dumpster.
"Sound good." Shadow shrugs in reply. After a few hours she throws the last peace making the room look extremely empty. She was able to salvage one of her three dressers as she had to fit everything into it or hang it in her closet. Which meant she had to throw out some old cloths she had not worn in quite some time, so that is what she put in the bags to give to the local orphanage. She smiles dusting off her hands as she finished sealing the last bag.
"That took a lot less time than I expected its amassing what good company can do to a job." She told him. Shadow hugs her closely as she hugs back.
"I will take the bags hun." He said grabbing the last six bags of trash that had yet to make it to dumpster.
"Thanks Love!" She said with a smile.
"My pleasure." He said before walking out.
"Humm." she thinks sitting on the window seal the sun playing off her fur, looking almost like it was playing off a lake, or Pond. She could see Shadow throwing the bags into the dumpster
"Sugar the clothes can go to someone less fortunate... there's an orphanage just up the road." She yells to him from her set. She shakes her head as she watches him. "I'm amazed Rouge hasn't come by... I know by now she's herd I have a boyfriend... but she wouldn't even know who... and that would soooo bug her." She thinks and could not help but chuckle.
