My eyes slip closed, the heat making my spine shiver. But I just let it happen, not really knowing why I'm so scared of the heat.

The curls came easier than she thought they would, making her not struggle to get them the way she wanted. Shiki was intent on what she was doing, nodding to herself when the first part was halfway done, "Liking the movie?"

"Yeah," I say softly. "Very funny... Just trying to keep still to keep you from having to work too hard."
Liar.
All well.

"You're fine," Shiki finished the section and was about to start another when she stopped. Setting the curling iron on the table she leaned around so she could see Namine, saying nothing but raising an eyebrow in question.

The heat is gone, slowly my eyes blink open and I see Shiki's face in mine. I shriek and fall off to the side, "Yikes! Don't do that!"

"Sorry!" Shiki gave a sheepish look before growing serious, "Can you guess what I'm going to ask you?"

"Good question, heres a better one... Why were you in my face," My voice is raised in panic and fear, heart rate already spiked.

"You were kind of quiet and I thought something was wrong, I don't know...I'm sorry," As she spoke she could already hear the whisper again, the one she thought was locked up.
You messed up. See, she's mad. She's scared of you. And she should be. A giggle echoed through her head and she grit her teeth, telling herself that Namine was simply scared because of what she'd done, tried to ignore the voice. It laughed at her once more.
You're ridiculous. Accept it, Shiki. Accept what you should have before.

After a moment I exhale, and then laugh, "Hey, hey... No, seriously... its okay, Shik." I reach out and ruffle her hair, seeing something in her eyes I don't like. "I just wasn't expecting that... We're fine see?" And I pull her into a hug.
"Just dandy."

She nodded, hugging Namine back and using the time where she couldn't see her face to bite her lip and cringe as she protested with the voice in her head. "Okay...I'm still sorry..."
It sighed in boredom. It's amazing how forgiving people are. You'll see one day when I-
And Shiki growled in her mind for it to stop and leave her alone, that it could say what it wanted another time and using a force to keep it back. One last laugh from it and it disappeared, she sighed in relief. Then she noticed the nagative emotions that had attempted to build up in her and she banished those as well.

I just squeeze her tight, "Its alright, love." She sounds... A lot like...

Shiki nodded, slowly pushing back certain emotions. They weren't going to completely leave and she knew that, they always seemed to hover in the back of her mind nowadays, waiting for their chance to make an appearance...
Finally she pulled back from Namine and looked at her, though she was searching for something else, paused in listening. A few moments passed, nothing happened. No voice, no stray feelings. Knowing that she did her best to relax, a smile refusing to come onto her face just yet so she did the only thing she could; she nodded her head.

I watch her before reaching out and placing a hand on her shoulder. My eyes stare into hers, pondering before I ask softly, "Shiki... Are you okay? What's wrong?"
Tell me for once...
Don't hide from me...
I can help...
Just let me in, let me in all the way...
Shiki.

"Nothing...I'm..." The word fine wouldn't leave her lips. It was a lie, a huge lie, and looking at Namine the way she was she couldn't do it. But she also couldn't tell her what was really going on. Dragging her into the mess she was already in...she wouldn't allow it. She would not endanger her friend, her sister.
If she did, her nightmare might come true.
Shiki tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, "I'm just stressed that's all." It's not a total lie...

My eyes narrow, but then I sigh, rolling them, "I'm sorry, Shiki, I shouldn't be so accusing... We both are very stressed, I'm sure." Gently I brush loose strands, from when she pulled some hair back, to where they belong. Then lean up and over, placing one single and tender kiss to her forehead. "But... I'll be here more often now... If you ever need me... for anything... I'm one shout, one text away..." And slowly I pull back, gently touching her cheek with my finger tips and stare deep into her eyes, letting her see past all my defenses. Allowing her a right no one has ever had. My soul softly whispering these words between us, feelings that can be read in my eyes:
I want to protect you. I want to love you in ways I am allowed. I will be the sister you need... I love you.
