I can't tell what's more powerful, this pure... feeling of pain, REAL PAIN, or the comfort and sisterly love of Shiki. Which do I grasp onto, which makes me more real, more human...
Which would be better for when you return home and into Neku's arms?
Shiki.
After a long moment I hold her and curl into her, using her as an anchor to what is real and what it fake. She is real, the need to kill is fake. She is breathing, the pain won't get past her breaths. She is living and therefore I must protect.
My blue eyes snap open and I give a weak smile to her, "Thank you, Shiki... Thank you." And try to shift so I'm holding her not the other way around. Its my job to be the rock, not hers, not ever hers...
But.
I still am scared.
And in pain.
I've never felt this before, this suffering.
It makes me...
Want to give up.
To give in.
I hold Shiki tight and whisper softly, "Love you, sis."

Shiki nodded, held Namine tight, "I love you too. No matter what, don't ever forget that." Because it was true. Nothing could change that, not even this event. She rubbed her back soothingly, wanting to bring peace to her sister.
Her sister.
That felt so good to think.

"...Same goes for you," I mumble back, sighing softly into her embrace.
Somehow this day went from making Shiki happy...
To this...
I need to get back on track.

She sniffed the air and frowned before her eyes widened, "Namine...do you smell burning?"

My eyes widen and I jump from her embrace, feet moving themselves over to the oven, grabbing the mitts and pulling them on. I open the oven and sigh when I see that the cakes aren't all that burnt. And I pull them both out, "Eh... Where do you want them... We do have hot pads, right?" And I kick the oven door closed, knowing that I'll have to turn the oven off in a minute.

She pulled out two from a drawer and set them on the counter, "Right here is fine." She looked over them and sighed, "That was close. I really do not want to have to talk to the fire department today."

I laugh, "Better than the time I tried to cook live lobsters... Lea ended up calling the big guys in b/c I took the rubber bands offa their pincers~." I place the pans down on hot pads before removing the mitts. "And you could've let me do the talking, they should know me pretty well from the first couple months I lived here."

It was her turn to giggle, "I'd have taken the blame, it would have been fine. Plus it's my place, I'm supposed to take care of it." Shiki shivered, "Live lobsters...don't think I could do it."

"Yeah, I was keeping them in the sink when I called Lea for help... He wasn't... Pleased..." I then giggle. "But! We've cake! Once it cools at least..."

"Yeah we'll have to wait a little while." She looked to Namine, "We gonna ice it or keep it like this?"

"Hmmm... Do we have icing?" I ask softly, knowing how to make some if she doesn't and we really want some.

"Um..." She went to check and then shook her head, "Nope. Ooops." She laughed sheepishly. "We don't have to though."

I nod, "Good point, its full of our friendship and love~. Its gonna be they're gonna be the best." And then I pull her into a hug. "Now! Lets set up camp in the living room for our slumber party!" And before I race outta the room I turn off the oven.

She followed her into the living room with a smile, "I have extra pillows and blankets, but no sleeping bags or anything." Shiki put her hands on her hips and surveyed the room, "What can we use then?"

Hmmm....

I snap my fingers, "Back at Neku's I have a queen sized blow up mattress! We could share that~!" What? I needed a place to sleep while painting his apartment, sheesh.
