It was times when she felt like this she wished she didn't know anyone. The fear that enveloped her said something was wrong. The whisper warned her it was coming for her. And Shiki knew seeing anyone was a bad idea. But she couldn't fight her fear. And before she knew what was doing she was sending a text to Namine. Can you come over?
A text couldn't show emotion. It didn't say anything but words that could be taken any way. She kept telling herself that as she waited for a response.

My phone buzzes as I lean against the brick wall of a building, panting, shoving my anger down. What hell is wrong with me recently? I'm always so angry, anything can set me off... Could Neku be rubbing off on me?
Shaking my head I pull out my phone, seeing Shiki's number I sigh to myself. Half of me relieved. But when I read the text my emotions flair up again and teeth clench, a snarled challenge leaving them before I smack myself upside the head.
"Get a grip, Nami." Scanning over her short text again I think about my day's plans. Decide to say screw them and turn my direction towards the Shade Street. And I type back a cheerful:
Sure, Shiki... Sorry if I've been missing again or if Lea has been hassling you... Anyways, be there in five~
Taking my steps lightly and with trained grace, my walk is brisk and speed above moderate. I will reach Shiki's apartment before the end of five minutes... I just hope its enough time... I hope she's okay...
Poor little sis.
I hope her nightmares aren't keeping her from sleeping still... Or wor-- And I pull a Neku, slamming down hard on the possessive streak and pure rage that comes from the thought of someone hurting Shiki... The thought of someone playing with her mind makes me even more on edge, so I set it aside and hope to the heavens above she's okay as I start jogging, fear filled, for her home.

She'd laid down on the couch and when the text came, holding the phone above her face as she read the message. At the mention of Lea she raised an eyebrow. Shiki hadn't heard from him. Was she supposed to have? The momentary distraction came and went, her fearful state of mind pushed other thoughts out of the way.
The shadow of a laugh echoed through her head and Shiki rolled over and sat up, running her hands through her hair. There wasn't any need for words, she knew through feeling that whatever this thing was found enjoyment that Namine was coming. It was foolish to ask her to even come a step closer than she was to her already. But there was no going back now.
Shiki waited for the blond, both dreading and anticipating her arrival.

Getting to the apartment complex I throw open the door there and take the stairs, pounding them with out much thought. Rounding the corner I skid down to Shiki's door and exhale. Calm falls upon me like a sheet of ice and I reach out, knocking, "Hey? Shiki? I'm here~."

A deep breath and an unlocking of the door followed and Shiki put on a smile, completely fake, "Hey, Namine." Her voice was noticeably quieter than usual, some of the reason was her attempt to hide the shaking in it. She held the door open, "Glad you could come..."
Sick excitement seemed to grin in the back of her mind. The red head resisted to respond to it, kept the smile on.

"Of course, Shik, anytime," I step inside, locking my gaze with hers. And I know instantly something is wrong, but she doesn't want me to know... Or does she? I can't really tell. All I can tell is she's suffering again. "Are... Are you alright, hon?"

Shiki leaned up against the door as she closed it, the smile slipping. Lying would be stupid at that point. Or would it be smart? She was torn between wanting so badly to say the truth and hiding like she had been. Hiding was safer; it kept everyone safe. And that was what she wanted deep down, wasn’t it? To just handle everything on her own…
But that was proving to be impossible. A chill ran down her spine and she said, “Namine…I don’t know what’s going on with me…”

I stop, staring her in the eye, before taking her hands in mine. Pulling her closer I wrap an arm around her shoulders, "Mmmm." I know her feelings, I don't know what's up with me... Heck! I barely had understood what was up with Neku! But I just hold her close, as close as one can get without being one. "Well, whatever it is, I'm here for you Shiki."

"Thanks, Nami, I--" Shiki started to speak but then stopped as suddenly it happened; the world blurring in color and form, sound bending in her ears. It wasn’t new except that this time it felt...heavy. As though something were weighing on her, mentally. “Crap, not now,” she barely heard herself say that before another new thing happened. The usual slow wave crashed into her with such a force she felt it physically, knees buckling. The world literally ripped from her vision, plunged her far into her mind, her eyes shut tight as they were of no use to her.
Emotions slammed into her, harder and faster than before. The pull dragged her in; it was no longer the slow beckoning. It was a full current trying to force her under.
About time.
Shiki growled, “What have you done?”
You have done nothing but let me out. Well, you aren’t the only one responsible.
A chilling anger reared its head, one that Shiki sadly recognized. Negative emotions threatened her, begged the red head to give in.
Come on. It’s over. Now let go.
“Shut up and leave me alone!” Shiki felt overpowered, lost in the sea of dark whispers.
There was a laugh. Not possible. Wake up and realize it.
On the outside Shiki was whimpering, her body curling as she hugged her arms to her chest.

For a moment I stare in shock before pulling Shiki close and against me, "Shiki, darling, its alright." Trying to comfort her I stroke her hair and whisper softly to her. "Shiki, Shiki... It alright, its okay..."
But after a moment I change tactics, "Shiki, tell me, please. What's wrong? What is going on love?" My embrace becomes tighter, stronger. "Darling, please. Talk to me, I want to help, I will help... Shiki, please..."

Well what are you waiting for? Why don’t you show her the truth?
“What truth?”
The voice sighed. You’re hopeless. Introduce me.
“No way. I don’t know what you are, but get out of my head!” Shiki fought for control over the emotions being tossed at her; anger, fear, hate.
How do you not realize that isn’t happening? I’ve had enough. If you aren’t going to accept me, I’ll make you.
A rush of power raced through her and Shiki grit her teeth as if flew through her veins…only to stop suddenly and disappear as if thrown back.
What the—oh…I see. So this is why…
It paused, then continued in a light, icy tone. That won’t work then…heh, no matter. It won’t be that long of a wait. In the meantime, let’s go see your dear ‘sister’.
Something grabbed her, yanked her out of the current, forcing her to wake up. She slowly came back, feeling arms wrapped tightly around her. The world righted itself and opened her eyes. It just proved that there was something very wrong, as they were now gold and ringed with silver. Shiki could feel the difference, but couldn’t identify exactly what.
She looked up at Namine, dazed. The feeling of being caught rose in her and she stared up at the blond with a confused and scared gaze.

I frown at Shik, my lips forming a thin line as she looks up at me. And I run my fingers through her hair, "Hey there love... There is nothing here to be scared of, ya know."

“Yes there is,” she whispered without thinking, her voice had a different note to it. Slowly she pulled back from Namine, “There’s so much to be scared of.” Nothing felt right. It didn’t feel like her talking at all. She gave the blond an odd look before shaking her head. It was if she was walking out of a fog, a really thick one that still left her confused.
She rubbed her eyes. Shiki didn’t know why, but they burned, a lot. “Nami,” she asked, “My eyes look okay?”

I can't lie to her, her eyes aren't as they normally are. My head shakes, "They're an odd color." But I'm used to this... Neku, myself, Angel, Noctis, heck! Even Darla have had eye color changes. I smile softly to her. "They're rather pretty though."

"Huh?" Shiki raised an eyebrow and went to the bathroom, flicking on the light. One glance in the mirror and she barely held back a scream. To her, the color was anything but pretty. No, it was scary. She backed away from the mirror, out of the bathroom.
"Sin," she muttered and felt panic begin to take form in her. "This...this is bad. This is very bad..."
