Slowly I follow behind her, frowning to myself as she panics. Then a name falls from her lips, or what sounds like a name... If I were religious I'm sure it would've sound different... But the way she...
"Shiki... Shiki who is Sin?" I reach out gently and lay a hand on her shoulder, freezing cold ice flowing through my veins.
WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL?!
SHIKI IS MINE DAMMIT!
MY LITTLE SISTER!
Who is hurting her?[/i]
"What's going on?"

She couldn’t hold it in. Half of her didn’t even care anymore, “My bastard demon uncle.” The bitterness that was in her voice was strong. She wanted to scream, throw something, punch her hand through the wall. “He’s my damn problem. He’s ruining my life again!”
Shiki ran a hand through her hair, “I don’t know what’s going on Namine. I barely have any clues to it. I’m so freaking sick of this!”

Frown.
"We need do something... Maybe we should give him a piece of our minds?"

A laugh; even more bitter than her words, "I'd love to. But I'm first of all too much of a coward to even face him. Second, I have no idea where he is and he hasn't shown his face in months. And third, I've been trying to keep this quiet but because I'm an idiot that isn't an option anymore!"
Shiki looked to the ground, "I didn't want anyone involved...Namine I have this weird feeling that I know what he can do, even though I've never seen it myself. I don't want to involve anyone in my problems...but I just drag everyone in because...I'm afraid." The last two words were whispered, but still loud enough to be heard.

Sigh.
Reaching out I place a hand on Shiki's shoulder, "Let me say this... Its about damn time I've gotten involved in your life!" My gaze is firm and strong. "And the people helping you love you, we love you Shiki! Which means we will protect you at all costs! I don't care about about what he's doing to you! What he has done! What he's going to do!"
My eyes narrow, "All that matters is he stops and you get to live your life how you want to."

Shiki looked at Namine, "The thing is, in order to stop him I have to know what his ultimate plan is and what he's doing to me. But I don't have that information and the people that I'm pretty sure can hazard a guess aren't talking."
She sighed, "Everyone has a secret, and no one is spilling. Sin's being quiet and that does nothing but unnerve me even more. It means he has what he wants, whatever that is."

Sigh.
"Well... Then I guess..." I frown, thoughts slowing down and muddling together in a complicated stream. "... All I know is you've been worried and scared... And I know you've always been a bit reclusive, but you're still fiery and bright... You're still a source of strength and just when there is none, alright?"
Maybe I'm just trying to comfort her now... Maybe I'm just stalling for time before I can say 'I don't know' in shame... Or maybe this is my way of already doing so...

She laughed, this time though it was more of her usual one, "If you say so Namine...all I know is that I'm stubborn and hate losing." Shiki brushed her hair back and as she was bringing her hand down she stopped, "What?"
On her wrist was an 'X' that looked inked into her skin. One line was solid black, the other was silver. It hit her that this was the wrist her uncle had grabbed her by and she frowned, "This is new..."

I feel cold again.
My eyes zero in on that mark.
"Yes, that is new..." I really don't like this Sin guy one bit... If I ever got my hands on him!
After a moment I exhale, calming myself and raising my temperature as one, "Shiki... I... We..." Slowly I drag my gaze up to her mirror. "Somehow things will be fixed, I don't know how and I can't say if things will ever be sunshine and rainbows... Ever... But... I can promise I won't let you be taken from me, from us, from the ones who care about you... Nor will I allow you to be taken from yourself."

She looked to her friend, her sister, and said very seriously, "If I ever start to lose myself, if I'm ever not Shiki, stop me. I don't care what you have to do." Shiki sighed, "I want to be me, no matter what I may say."

My eyes widen before hardening.
This is something I can give, something I can do...
"I want you to stay you too and..."
I pause, staring deep into her eyes... Despite the change in color, despite the bitterness in her voice, and despite the mark on wrist... She's still my Shiki... Always and forever...
We made a promise...
And now...
Now I'll make her another one.
"... I promise I will do all in my power, and more if I have to, so you can stay you."

A very small smile fell onto her face, "I trust you. I know you'll do what you can. That's all I ever wanted, to just be me and have a life."
Then it disappeared as a realization dawned on her. Shiki sighed heavily, leaned back against a wall, "I'm going to...have to tell Sora...maybe..."

I nod.
"Yeah... Yeah, you kinda will have to," I sigh. "He's apart of your life and well, you two are a couple, right? Or close enough, right? Either way... he deserves to know... no matter how he'll react."

"I know but I get really nervous telling him these things," she looked up at the ceiling. "He gets so worked up, so mad sometimes...he ends up doing crazy things when he's worried. If I hadn't been there at one point..."
She shook her head, "I don't want him getting hurt. I swear he doesn't even think sometimes."

I laugh.
"Oh yeah... That's definitely Sora alright..."
Pause.
"And I know he'll probably react harshly, but its better to tell him sooner rather than later... imagine if he thought you were lying to him? Or at the very least keeping things from him...?" My shoulders shrug. "He might just go do something stupid and not listen to a word you say then."
Its rational and that's something that I think is needed now.
Rationality.
And...
Stability.
