Shen Kanda
The moon hung in the air laughing at the city of London with it's slightly creepy, face, dripping blood as it giggled long into the night. Down below the cobblestone streets of London were cloaked in shadows, making it hard to see what wasn't directly in front of someone. Their was a light fog that covered the ground, and dampened the air making the ground a little bit colder.
Along the rooftops a shadow lurked stalking a young woman. As the young woman turned to walk down the street she was jumped by the shadow, and a loud scream filled the nights air.
A few blocks away a man's head turned his light green eyes searching off into the distance for where the scream had come from. He gulped lightly, realizing they had finally found the target. His orange hair was slightly frayed at the ends, and he looked like he hadn't had a proper sleeping schedule in a few days.
"Three days over due for this mission, but it sounds like we finally found him." His voice was rather excited aside from the obvious downside that the only reason they had found their target was because he was currently busy butchering another victim. Death was another part of their business, not pleasant by any means, but not something the students of the DWMA were taught to linger on.
Shen hopped lightly on his feet a bright light engulfing his body as he transformed himself into a sword, the long swords blade and handle were elegantly crafted, and this was Shen's personal favorite of the blades he could transform into. A double edged long sword it's pointed tip dug into the ground, the metal looked more like glass than actual steel, but like any demon weapon it was tempered to be as strong as it's users. His face appeared reflecting in the glass like metal. He give his meister and sister, an arrogant, and slightly reassuring smile, before his face vanished back into the clear metal.

Fog and shadows danced intimately within the city of London, each struggling to overtake the other. The moon giggled at their efforts. Not many people were out this late at night, what with recent stories of a killer on the loose. Yet a few did dare to venture out into the cloak of darkness, big fearful eyes glancing this way and that as they hurried home. One woman in particular looked over her shoulder, dark wavy hair moving with her head while she did so. Her equally dark eyes mirrored the emotions going rampant inside her chest. When nothing jumped from the shadows at her, she let out a relieved sigh through her lips, and turned down the street towards her home.
A loud scream filled the night air. Blood doused the wall, moonlight reflecting off its vibrant red intensity and making it appear silver. Luckily the poor victim died after a few minutes of such agony, in a pool of her own blood.
Kiyokos muscles grew tense, nerves leaping about like Ping-Pong balls. Better late than never, she told her partner and brother with a faint smile. The earlier boredom melting off her bones, her joints cracked as though in protest as she rose to her feet. It wasnt going to be pleasant, fighting the soul right after he has eaten. Question isjust how powerful is this one soul?
You realize this is the last soul we need before going after a witchsright? Her voice didnt exactly ooze confidence, but neither did it stumble over the words. Its kind of exciting Trailing off, she gazed into the distance for a moment. Excitement danced within her amethyst-colored eyes, the smile spreading across her features. Her orange hair, fastened into twin pigtails by black fuzzy hair-ties, moved under the power of a gentle breeze. The blue skirt she wore did the same. There were subtle indicators that she herself havent slept over the past couple days, but she still looked good despite that.
Bright light caused Kiyoko to blink, which in turn snapped her out of the reverie. The reassurance in her siblings smile wasnt needed, but the arrogance did help those nerves settle down. In turn, she flashed him one of her own. Her fingers came to wrap around the ornate handle, easily lifting the weapon. Come on Lets go get that last soul. Death is waitingand were three days overdue already. A soft laugh escaped the girls lips, a grin finishing off the moment as she jumped off the roof, now heading towards the source of the scream.

For now Kiyoko had the heavy lifting part of the job. Shen was relegated to the minor work, inside the sword all he could do was help to refine and balance her wave length. A job that was always easier said than done, and he fell into his main habit of backseat driving. Feeling that she was tense his face appeared through the glass blade, his arrogant smirk already slightly berating her. "Easy on your breathing, don't tense up. Keep yourself nice and loose, and don't focus on how many we have or haven't collected. We can count the chickens once they hatched remember?"
around them the fog hid many places where their target could be lurking. The human soul was already gone by the time they arrived in the dank side street, but the killer was still ever apparent. Small amounts of laughter could be heard echoing off of the wet cobblestone. They were being watched, rather closely. Even Shen found it hard to not let his nerves be effected by the dark reek of blood in the air. Shen's voice wavered slightly as he tried to give advice and poke fun at his sister at the same time. "Can you see him? Meister's can track souls right? or did you fall asleep in that class as well?"
Shen tried to keep himself aware. Their was no real danger to him after all, he was safe, his skin and bone were hardened steel, what did he have to be afraid of? Though he could swear he felt his body shaking slightly as a weapon it was hard to tell if he was the one shaking, or if it was Kiyoko. This kishin wasn't supposed to be that strong, they were the worst in their year, they wouldn't have gotten a difficult mission. Hell he wasn't even sure how they had gotten too 98 souls, but he knew the climb had been difficult enough without any curve balls in their mission.
In a second their was a flash of light through the fog from their left, as running footsteps echoed and a flash of steel came flying towards them. The creature they were hunting revealed himself quickly. A slender figure his face was hidden well enough under a hat, 'it's' clothing resembled that of a tux, with a top hat for style, however it certainly wasn't a human anymore. It's figgure was deformed hunched over and monster like, it's choice of weapon was a long messed cain, with a sharp stabbing point on the end. His laugh and muscular body were unmistakably their target... Mr Hyde.

Kiyoko dodged the attack just in time, sparks flying between the two sets of clashing metal. Her hands instinctively tightened around the weapon. Eh, case you havent noticed I dont need to track the thing down. Its right in front of us, or do you need glasses to see that? The ground slick with fresh blood, she ward off blow after blow, feet moving through crimson red against her will. Before long she was pressed against the wall, Mr. Hyde closing in one step at a time. Bloodthirsty red eyes glowed underneath the edge of his black top hat. It was eerie, how much he looked like a humanthat is, until you notice his deformities, and how sharp his teeth are.
Another attack was thrown in her direction. Instinctively Kiyoko raised her hands, only for both weapons to clashsending a wave of tingling numbness throughout her arms. Crap This isnt good, she hissed under her breath. Violet eyes narrowed, frustration swirling within those dark depths, the young girl fought to think of somethinganythingto improve the situation. However, she couldnt. Dammit! Metal clashing yet again, her arms almost buckled under the pressure. Were going to lose this fight probably be eaten tooshe noted, one tiny sliver of fear embedding into her heart. Of course it wasnt her own life she cared about, but the life of her annoying brother and weapon.
Shen, you can help out anytime now Or are you too scared? Huh? Cause last time I checked, youre a big strong guyor well, thats what Ive heard. Why dont you prove it to me? Kiyokos feet fought for purchase, the blood making it difficult to do so. Her hands adjusted their grip on the scythe. The next attack took her completely by surprise, since it did slice through one ponytailcausing several long, orange strands to fall into her eyes. Luckily little damage was done. Mr. Hydes steel-tipped cane sank into the wall above, providing an opportunity to escape. Of course she decided to take advantage, and rushed out from next to the monster.
Kiyoko ran out into the street. Fog made it difficult to see, much less keep an eye on the opponent. Her heart pounding hard and fast like a racehorse, only with no destination in mind-, it was hard to breathe, or even think. Come on Think of something, Kiyoko she murmured to herself, frantically wracking her brain for just a shred of an idea. Yet despite her effortsthere was nothing in that empty skull to use. Her grip tightened more, violet eyes narrowed with fear and determination. I need to think of somethinganything We cant just give up! We have to get this last soul, or else we start over from scratch!
human
"Calm down." Shen's voice was rather commanding even from his position as a weapon. He couldn't exactly stand to do anything without risking Kiyoko, and he recognized that she wasn't exactly being helpful when she wasn't calm. "I'm your weapon, I can't leave you without putting you at risk, not to mention your holding onto me with a vice grip, loosen up, calm down remember your stances and you will be fine." Once again Shen fell back onto his old defaults of back seat driving his sister. Critiquing her use of him as a weapon, and why was she begging for his help? He was the weapon if he gave up his form and tried to fight he would only be at half power without her.
She was right about one thing however it was technically his job to keep them both alive, but it was her job to slay the monsters they encountered.... She just sucked at her job. The metal blade of the scythe once again shifted to reveal shen's face looking out behind the par. "Were running the wrong way you should have pressed the advantage when you had the opening. Oh why did i get such a useless meister." He rubbed his face with his hands trying to think. He wasn't exactly being encouraging towards her but at the same time they seemed to have this kind of argument every time they went on a hunt for these things. It had taken them a long time to get the amount of eggs they had as it was, and because of that it was only a matter of time before they had to start over.
This mission wasn't even supposed to be that difficult he could have sworn when they had taken it off the job board it had very few stars. It was just a hunt of a single paranormal killer, it wasn't exactly taking down an entire organization, or even hunting for a witch. That said Shen knew that they were struggling with it, and that they would need to start working together if they really wanted to win the fight. He was just annoyed that she had called him scared, when she was the one who was running.
Mr Hyde returned jumping down from a building and landing down in front of the pair. Now however they were in the open streets instead of the narrow back alley way they had been before. He held his cane like he would a broad sword lashing out with a powerful two handed strike down, and then across. Mr Hyde let out a loud cackle as he attacked, clearly he was the one who was enjoying this fight the most out of the three of them.
gpt
I am not an useless meister! This isnt as easy as it looks, you know! Kiyokos temper flaring up, she ignored the first slice she received in her right arm...painful as it was, and parried the second lash. I swear I get absolutely no sympathy from him! she thought, letting her anger fuel her motions. None, whatsoever! Not even when I am being chased by a psychomaniac, carrying a wicked cane that he uses as a weapon, who has taken a liking to human souls! No...no sympathy at all A low growl rumbling deep, deep in the back of her throat, the weapon in question was raised high...its blade barely missing Mr. Hydes shin bone. Unfortunately...he didnt miss with his next strike, becausehis sharp cane sank right into the meat of her shoulder. The growl was soon replaced with a hiss of pain...which she didnt like at all.
Kiyoko noticed her vision swim around the edges, making everything fuzzy and distorted. Uh oh...that cant be good Her feet shifting into a defensive position, she blocked blow after blow with the scythe, the tingling numbness crawling up her arms to the joints of her shoulders. Of course that was just another bad sign...but she couldnt quit now. Not after harvesting so many souls already This is the last one they need, before going after a witchs soul They cant quit now Red staining her sleeve, slowly making its way down the yellow sleeve, it was hard to summon the strength she needed. Her limbs felt heavy...so heavy, in fact...it felt like both arms had been replaced with bricks. Panting lightly, she focused her attention on the monster before them, those violet eyes narrowing with intent and purpose.
Thats it Kiyoko breathed. I am so...sick and tired...of being the meister who is laughed at, who is...the example of what not to be like, the one who is...looked down on by the others, simply because I am not...that good at what I do I am going to show you Shen I will show all of you just how good I can be Determination settling into her bones, it made her pain disappear, as though it was never there in the first place. Her lips began to curve into a smile...one that can set people on a razors edge. Are you ready, Mr. Hyde? Because...Its about time you learn how to dance.
The light coming off a street lamp reflected off the scythes blade, not to mention off her smile. Her orange pigtails flying, she sprang forward, the weapon slicing into the air...and aiming for his chest. When he dodged without a scratch, she hit the blunt end right on the back of his knee, making him fall towards the ground. An opportunity presenting itself, she went ahead and adjusted her grip on the scythe...which also gave Mr. Hyde an equal opportunity to strike. His cackling filling the air, his cane hit home Kiyoko coughed, crimson red spilling out of her mouth while she gazed down in shock at the cane in her chest.

"Kiyoko calm down!" His words were a little too late, as his sister had seemingly gone into a blood lust. Shen watched in horror, and tried to focus on holding her together, trying to do anything he could for her, but failed. Watching her be stabbed not once but twice, was enough to cause him to break form. Swapping out as a weapon he left Kiyoko's hand's splitting from her, and dove mr hyde who was still on the ground, his arm transforming to a part weapon as he drove it into the mans skull and watched as he reverted into a soul. The battle over, he turned quickly grabbing Kiyoko his arms once again fully human as he held her.
His hand gripped her stomach where she had been impaled trying to hold her together. "It's not as bad as looks." He said trying really hard to lie to himself. This was not just his meister but also his sister he was dealing with she had to be okay. She had gotten too aggressive and done the very thing he had warned her against, he bit his lip looking her over panic still in his eyes, could he get her to a doctor, he didn't have a cell phone. Holding her she seemed to become pale, and as she passed out in his arms he was already running.
~~
Morning light crept into the sterile hospital room of the nurses office. Shen's breathing could be heard lightly as he was passed out in a chair, his head was sprawled against the bed, where Kiyoko had been placed making him sit at an awkward angle. He hadn't left her side since he had been allowed back in after the surgery. He had been far too worried, and now as first light of the new day crept slowly into the room Shen's eyes stirred but only for a moment. Before continuing to sleep at his sisters side. He had forgotten the kishin egg, in his panic to get Kiyoko somewhere safe he had completely forgotten that he had killed Mr Hyde, and of course with that failure fully on his shoulders, well lets just say they had a meeting with death as soon as Kiyoko was ready to move again.
On the good side of things the nurse said that Hana should have made full recovery after the surgery that patched her up. They had escaped this time, but Shen wasn't exactly trusting of the next time they had to go into battle together. He hadn't liked that look Kiyoko had during that battle. His hand raised up slightly grasping hers as the two of them slept, and holding onto her. He had been terrified, unable to calm her down, and more then that he had been the one who had set her off in the first place. He had been the one who caused this problem. Everything that happened to his sister had been his fault. That was why he hadn't left her side, he wanted to make sure that as soon as she had woken up, he would be there for her. He was more then a little scared about what would happen after yesterday. There performance had been so abysmal, they were probably on their way to being expelled from the academy.

Kiyoko felt her knees buckle, body and mind growing numb from shock. The world tilted on its axis, sky flying on past her line of sight, only to be replaced with a bloodied brick wall. Right before she hit the ground, her grip grew lax on the scythe, the cool, reassuring metal leaving her palms. Shen...she thought, watching him out of her peripheral vision. I...Im sorry I shouldnt have left my anger control my actions Maybe...Maybe I am a useless meister Those violet eyes drifted to a close for a second, perhaps two...only for her to force the pair open. The metallic smell of fresh blood was in the air. Is...Is this how its going to end? she asked no one, fear biting deep into her heart. It wasnt long before she could feel large, warm hands lift her head carefully, and she could see her brothers eyes looking down at her.
I...Ill be...okay she managed. D-Dont...worry J-Just get...the soul It was his dream to become Deaths weapon, that much she knew...and for him to be denied that would be just criminal. The panic obvious in his eyes, again she tried to reassure him how everything was going to be just fine...when blood gurgled inside her mouth, making it difficult to breathe...much less talk. The hot liquid escaped her lips, trickling down either side of her mouth. Now how am I going to convince him it will be alright? she asked no one, only for her vision to be swallowed in black.
~~~
The first thing Kiyoko grew aware of was a sterile smell...and of a warmth enveloping her hand. Where am I? she thought, her conscience reluctant to fully emerge from slumber. What happened? Little slices -pieces, really- of memory rose, though none fit together quite right. The last thing she remembered was going after Mr. Hyde...and the fear but beyond that, she couldnt recall anything else. Did...Did something go wrong? Did she fall unconscious? Or...no, maybe they succeeded...and now they were resting in a nearby inn, just...keeping a tab on their next target? No...that cant be That didnt sound right, no matter how much she wished it to be true. Something had to have happened...and not necessarily good. Otherwise...both she and her brother would be back in their apartment, and not in this...weird place.
Her dark, sleepy violet eyes came to open after a minute, the pair unable to focus on any one thing. Am I...in a hospital? Kiyoko felt fear strike her heart at the very idea, yet she struggled to calm down, because after all...she didnt know if she really was in a hospital or not. Not yet. After letting out a soft yawn, and rubbing at an eye, she glanced across the way. There was a mirror hanging on the wall, which she could see her reflection...and lets just say it wasnt pretty. One eye was swollen shut, while her cheek was dark purple. Bandages were around her chest, and around her shoulder, restricting movement. I must be in a hospital...if I have to be wrapped up like this...she thought. Yet I still cant remember anything Her eyes moved away from her ugly reflection...only to rest on her hand, enveloped in another. It took her a moment to figure out that it was Shen holding on it. What alternative universe has she fallen into, though? Shen would never hold her hand much less in public! Quietly she began taking her hand out of his, because honestly...it was making her feel all fuzzy inside, when theres no reason to feel that way.
human
Shen shifted in his sleep when Kiyoko pulled her hand away. He felt a little light headed thanks to the position he had fallen asleep in, but more then that he felt a tad drowsy, as he started to rise. His head hurt, and his back was so stiff from the position but he blinked away his momentary pains and blindness. Stretching and yawning he felt his back audibly. He had held his sisters hand, even though it had been for mostly selfish reasons, he did like his sister. She just annoyed him, and got too excited and angry in battle. This was different however. In the past sure they may have messed up a mission or a dozen, but not like this. Last night he had nearly lost his sister, and his meister. It was perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to him as a weapon. It would have been grounds for a lot worse then expulsion. Rubbing his eyes he looked up finally Kiyoko was awake, and though he tried to smile, it was so obviously a fake smile. She looked like shit, he couldn't even try to hide that thought as it crossed his mind. Part of him wanted to make fun of Kiyoko, but another part of him wanted to hug her. Now that she was well and truly out of danger.
"Were back at the acadamy." Shen's voice was slightly meek by his usual boastful self. Every wound was his fault, and he felt a wave of guilt and nausea pass over him as he looked at her. As her weapon it should have been him that had taken the damage, that was how it was supposed to work right? He was the defense, and she was the fighter? Instead it had seemed during their battle more like Shen had hung her out to dry. Shaking his head he regretted not grabbing the soul, as it had been the last thing that she had told him to do, but at the same time he had been too afraid for Kiyoko's life. He knew she wasn't going to be happy about that. "I managed to get you back quickly enough that the doctors could save you."
It was understandable that Kiyoko would seem a little more then dazed but she looked more confused then she should have been. Shen couldn't place his finger on it, just that something seemed wrong. Maybe it was the fact that he had fallen asleep holding her hand, that had been a rather dumb move on his part, and he tried his best to not let that part show. Then again his face wasn't exactly good at hiding his emotions and right now it was hard too feel anything except the strong sense of shame he had. How the hell did he screw it up so badly. "Uhm... you... look terrible, but I'm glad you made it." Shen tried to be comforting, but at the same time just got an awkward feeling, he really wanted to avoid the big questions that he knew she would have.
"Do you need anything?" Shen said finally getting up from his seat. "I can bring you a glass of water if your thirsty, and when your ready, and able to move we need to go see Death, but You.... look like hell frankly so maybe you should rest first." There was no need for them to go right away, if she wanted he could help take her back to the apartment, and she could sleep in her own bed, but it was a little safer if she stayed here.
gpt
Were...Were back...at the Academy? Kiyoko fought to sit up, only to gasp when her shoulder gave a sharp protest...as did her chest. Pain etched into her features, and even going so far as to darken her violet eyes, she lowered herself back against the pillows carefully. I...I didnt even realize Um I dont need anything...Thanks I could really use that glass of water, though My throat is very dry After a fit of coughing, she tried to run a hand through her hair...only to wince and let that hand drop down onto the bed. This really sucks How long am I going to be stuck in here? My injuries do seem pretty severe Just the idea of being stuck in bed for days...even weeks...made the girl scowl with distaste. Ugh...I hate this already Probably should rest...I cant even get up, much less go visit Death Resting is my best bet. I look like hell, huh? I dont doubt it, since Im here A soft laugh left her lips, yet it was a bit weak...not to mention fake. Her eyes rose to meet those of her brother, concern swirling within those depths. How...How are you doing? I mean Have you been treated? Or were you okay, after the battle with Mr. Hyde? And...how did it go? The battle? I dont really remember much of anything
Kiyoko bit her lip, not sure what to think...or what to say. Most brothers and sisters can get along on some level, or at least call a truce, every once in a while...however, that wasnt the case between she and Shen. Maybe its because their personalities are too similar...or too different, either way...it has gotten in the way of everyday life. They...had no relationship. Yes, they fight as meister and weapon...but it didnt matter. It was...disastrous. It was pure, undiluted luck that they obtained as many souls as they have. No matter how hard she tried her best...it was always this way. If only...If only she could improve, one way or another Maybe...Maybe confidence would grow, and they could get along better...maybe even grow together as a team.
Of course...that was a bit far-fetched. For that to happen would take a miracle, maybe even two or three It, in other words, was just plain impossible Kiyoko let out a long sigh, her heart heavy at the reality of it. Once that was done, she tilted her head back against the pillows, gazing up at the ceiling. There was nothing even remotely interesting about it but at least she wasnt looking at her brother. Shen can be nice at times...but that didnt mean she invited his jeers. I...I just remember...that we were going after Mr. Hyde...and that I was nervous about it Other than that, well I really dont know. Um...we were waiting I just...I cant remember what came next Her words trailing off, she bit her lip, violet eyes intent on the ceiling up above. After making herself comfortable by the lower half of her body, she glanced over at him.
If...If my life really was in jeopardy...and all that, then I must say...thank you. I dont know what I could have done without you...especially after whatever happened. I know that we dont get along all that great...and most of the time, I really wonder if we are even related but thats how...we are. We argue...we fight over everything...and well...that is just things are. I just really appreciate...you saving my life...like you did Tell me straight, okay? How, um...how bad was it?
Kiyoko lifted those pretty violet eyes of hers, the pair gazing at him with a quiet intensity, though it wasnt an intrusive...nor was penetrating.
human
Shen swallowed hard, his mouth suddenly becoming rather dry when he had to relay the story back to her about what happened. She may have wanted the cold hard truth, but he didn't know how he could tell her. Her last words before her collapse had been to get the soul, a task which he had completely failed to even remotely take care of, and now he was left dumb founded kicking himself. His mockery had of course played a large part into their loss, but now that she was safe. So of course he stood up and excused himself for a moment taking a good moment to secure the glass of water for Kiyoko.
Walking back into the room he handed Kiyoko the water and sighed sitting back into his chair. He grimaced for a moment. "It was bad." He said finally. Leaning back into his chair he felt his back finally loosen slightly. He looked at Kiyoko and sighed ~It's not like she can hate me any more, so I may as well just tell her everything.~ He was bitter in his thoughts that was true, but he also couldn't help but feel that he had earned the right to be bitter. "We didn't get the soul we needed." He said firstly, trying to put the news as what he saw was bad to worse. "And honestly I didn't think we would make it back. You were pretty much fading in my arms, I didn't know what to do so I just ran as fast as I could back to our vehicle, and high tailed it back to the hospital."
From there the two of them had gotten a swift transfer back to the academy, but it hadn't been a good welcome. He swallowed lightly after laying out the facts for his sister. They were in deep waters at the moment and he didn't know how she was gonna take it. Hell he wondered if they were gonna split up after this. She may not have been the best meister in the academy but she was still his sister. He didn't really see anyone else who he thought he was compatible with. It was just the sad fact that the two were hardly compatible as it was. They were less of a combo, and more like a large accident waiting to happen. "When you are feeling up for it, Death wants us to report to him, along with a few other members of the faculty... All in all it looks pretty bad."
Leaning back into his chair he wanted to add that it was all her fault, or some kind of juvenile insult. But part of him knew that wasn't the case this time it wasn't her slow reaction time that had gotten them into trouble. Well that had been part of it, but it had everything to do with him. He was the weapon, and that meant he should have been ready to die for his meister. He hadn't been ready for that, and so he had failed her and most likely the academy. At worst the two of them would be expelled. At best... he didn't even know what kind of torture the staff would inflict upon them for this kind of failure, but a full reset of the souls they had collected up to that point was inevitable.

Kiyoko wasnt all that surprised when her brother swallowed hard, and excused himself for a moment so he could retrieve a glass of water. Being related, living together, meister and weapon...it was relatively easy at times to tell when he was nervous. When he left the room, she fought to sit up yet again...only for piercing pain to shoot throughout her shoulder. Arm trembling, she lowered herself back down...but not before adjusting herself to the best of her abilities. I cant believe I got hurt this badly...she thought, resting back against the pillows. Infinite possibilities ran through her mind, each more terrible than the last. Quickly she shook her head to dispel them.
Shen came back into the room, unusually quiet, the water in his hand. After giving it, he sat down, a sigh leaving his lips. What did happen yesterday? Or...rather, what happened before she went unconscious? It couldnt be that bad, could it? Their eyes met. Dread leaked into her veins, even before he opened his mouth to start speaking. It was bad, he finally told. Leaning back in the seat, he let out another sigh. We didnt get the soul we needed. And honestly I didnt think we would make it back. You were pretty much fading in my arms, I didnt know what to do so I just ran as fast as I could back to our vehicle, and high tailed it back to the hospital. The words came as a shock...or rather, not so much the words, but the meaning behind them. There was...so much emotion...behind the bitterness, anyway.
Death must be disappointed Kiyoko murmured, not commenting on the meaning behind his words, instead focusing on the present. We finally got to ninety-eight souls...and we completely blew it A few strands of orange tumbled forward, several falling into her eyes. Giving those strands one hell of a glare -one worthy of much worse things- she blew out at them...only to end up with failure. Dammit she grumbled under her breath, tucking the strands behind an ear. I was really hoping we would actually...you know...get that last soul I mean...we have been trying hard to get those souls...and at the last one Her lips in a cute, but frustrated pout, she shook her head. No...Im so not going there Okay, so we have to meet up with Death...and possibly face expulsion...no big deal. Right? Here her assurance wavered...needing some kind of support to climb back up.
Kiyoko may not be academic, by any stretch of the word, but she loved being a meister. Okay, so she has trouble...so does everyone else, right? Its common...especially given the difficult missions they undertake. Swallowing the lump in her throat, the young girl leaned back against her pillows, body tingling with nerves. I really hope we dont get expelled...she thought. I dont want to be...and Im sure Shen feels the same way We love what we do. Its just that...its hard for us to get along Her thoughts drifted into a different direction...one of which involved them taking on different partners. Maybe...that would be best Itd be hard to find someone we match wavelengths with...much less get along with...but it cant be impossible...
human
Shen let out a low sigh as they seemed to be put into these positions together. Constantly she dragged down his grades, not just academically, but performance wise. True he was a backseat driver, but if she would for once follow his instructions than he was confident that stuff like this would never actually happen, and they wouldn't be facing expusion like they were at this very moment. Still she was right death wanted to see them, and that couldn't mean anything good with their current record. Maybe it was for the best that they get new partners? Sure his sister was his sister, and that was why they had been co-opted but with how their reviews have gone as of late there was a strong chance that nothing good would come of it.
Biting down on his lip he let out a long sigh as he watched her frustrated pout. She was looking at him to be some kind of support but this time he didn't really have the words she needed. He was just as dreading this as she was. "Maybe it won't be that bad." He said lightly, they had been going at this for so long, that maybe they would be given another chance to start over. They were desperate sure, but determined. They had never given death anything less then 100% of their effort and attention. "Do you think you can make it to his office? I figure he would take it easier on us if we go sooner rather then later."
While his sisters wounds were no longer life threatening he knew that physical movement was going to be painful, and he extended his hand to help her up. He honestly didn't mind being used as a crutch, because it would lessen the chance of him being chopped in the head by Death. He had a few of those shinigami chops back in the day, and they were nothing less then skull splitting agony. That said using his broken sister as a shield may also have been a little cowardly, but what are you gonna do? It was sad really that he and his sister didn't get along better on the field. Maybe his next meister would actually be a little better, or at the least be able to help match resonance waves.
Letting out a low sigh everything seemed rather calm for a moment. It was one of those rare moments where he could actually see eye to eye with his sister. True it was about what would happen when they actually got to death's office. "I'm sure death wouldn't just kick us out onto the street." He said under his breath. This academy was really all they had. They had put everything they could into becoming a meister and weapon, and if it didn't pan out then years of their lives were going to go to waist. they didn't really have anything else aside from this place and each other, and if Shen was going to be truthful with himself then loosing even one of those things would hurt a lot. Loosing both would be devastating.

I-I dont know I mean, I think youre right Death might take it easier on us, if we go now, rather than wait until later Kiyoko accepted his hand, palm meeting palm while he helped her get into a semi-upright position. Their eyes met for just a second. Though they are brother and sister who rarely get alone...okay, never get alone...he was still her brother, and she cant help but wonder just what is going to happen next. Will they be paired with another meister, another weapon? Or will they be expelled...without being given more chances? Her thoughts scattered as pain shot through out her shoulder...making her head pound and her breath hiss through her teeth in response. Damn...Damn, that hurts...she thought, the grip on his hand growing tighter.
Kiyoko drew in a deep breath, her vision swimming around the edges in the aftermath of such pain. Im okay Im okay she managed, feeling her heart slam against her rib cage, not once, not twice...but over and over again. Just...a little dizzy His other arm went across her shoulders, providing support without any judgement. Th-Thanks Once she had her legs up over the edge, she hoisted herself up...only to come toppling into his side. O-Oh! Im sorry, um...I guess I wasnt quite ready yet After getting steady, and swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat, her eyes met his...while she gave a nod. R-Ready whenever you are she whispered softly.
The walk towards Deaths chambers was...agonizingly long. It wasnt only because of the pain, even though it did play a factor...but mostly, it was because of dread. Kiyoko bit her lip, forcing her feet forward one step at a time. Hey...Shen? I just wanted to say...you know...before we are expelled...or reassigned to new partners...that...Im really sorry. This was my fault I just I just hope that your next partner is better...not just academically, but as a partner I probably will get kicked out, though I mean...my grades were never that good, no matter how hard I studied At least...you would be able to stay I wouldnt doubt it if Death decided to keep you Her words drifted off, though the tense air remained hanging over their heads. Her hand gripped onto his shoulder a little tighter.
Here we are Kiyoko murmured, once they were in front of the door. Her heart racing fast, she let out a long sigh, already resigned to her fate. After all...Shen would most likely be able to continue being at the Academy...not her, though One hand resting on the door, she began pushing on it...only to be met with surprise, since it swung open easily. I know...I dont say this...ever...but I love you, Shen That said, she forced them to start walking forward, that way they could find out what will happen sooner rather than later.

This truly had to be the end of times. Not only did Shen hear his sister confessing, which felt wrong, she used the L word. The two of them hadn't spoken like that for a long time, and honestly Shen couldn't remember what changed? For a moment he was at a loss for words. In truth he didn't like the idea of loosing Kiyoko, but the two didn't or couldn't figgure out what was wrong team wise. Even as they got to the office and continued walking down the odd hall, above them the several dozen guillotines that marked the way to deaths true office. He could feel how hard it was for his sister to move, and he was wondering now if he had chosen wrong the wost thing they could do was some how re open her wound.
"Kiyoko don't talk like that." Shen said more honestly then anything else. He could pass off the admission of love as the amount of pain she was in, but the rest of it just made him feel guilty. He had been the weapon, it was his responsibility to die for his meister, and yet Kiyoko was the one who was injured. Saying it was her fault was wrong, because at the end of the day it was his job not just as the weapon but as her brother. "I love you too sis, and your right we do never say it." He said finally. It felt wrong to not say it, it was after all the truth. He cared about his sister he just didn't show it as often as he should have.
Unsurprisingly death was waiting for them, his mostly black body, along with the comical skull mask were watching the two as they came into the room. He didn't look frustraited, though knowing Death it was entirely possible that he was as he watched the two of them walk down the long corridor, and onto the platform that made his vary odd office. The office it's self looked larger on the inside, with a vast room and even clouds and what looked and felt like sunshine. Death himself was an imposing figgure standing in front of The glass window used when people called him, and oddly death was not alone, two members of the faculty were with him, the schools nurse, and one of the schools teachers were both standing with Death.
Death looked at the two students, one a meister who could barely stand, and the weapon she used for a crutch. "We were just talking about you two." He said rather quickly in his usual energetic tone. For a moment it seemed like everything was going to be fine just the way he spoke to them said buisness as he raised up his giant white gloved hand to wave at the two of them. "SHINIGAMI CHOP!" Death brought down his hand hard on shins head knocking him to the ground and as Shen hit the ground he dragged Kiyoko with him.
gpt
Kiyoko let out an uncharacteristic squeak, right when Deaths giant white gloved hand made contact with her brothers head. It didnt take a rocket scientist to see that it hurt...a lot. Violet eyes wide, she turned towards him, about to question him as to if hes alright only to be dragged down on top of him. Y-Yikes! Luckily he had an arm around her shoulders, else it would hurt a lot more...at least...for her. Death didnt offer mercy from his chop. The two members of the facility, which she only recognized because of their cool gazes and stiff attitudes, looked down on them with something akin to...disgust. Anger began boiling under her skin...it flashing through her lovely purple eyes. Yet instead of speaking up against the powerful two, like she would love to do...she laid a hand on her weapons chest, checking to see if he was, indeed, okay.
Sh-Shen? Hey, Shen...are you conscious? she asked, giving a gentle nudge to check. After he let out a groan -which was perfectly understand, given the treatment he just received- she finally relaxed. One ponytail fell, the ribbon resting right underneath her ear. Quickly both ribbons were yanked out, mercilessly, with no thought as to how much of an annoyance her hair will be later on. A wave of orange came tumbling down about her shoulders...making the young girl look older than she really was. Her violet eyes, flickering with repressed fury, landed on the party of people...just waiting for someone to speak up...to delegate how things will go from there.
A young woman stepped forward, adjusting the pair of glasses sitting on the bridge of her nose. Given by her appearance, she held herself in high regard, though she didnt have any high ranking. Raven-black hair cut short just above her shoulders, her eyes were a pale, almost transparent green, and her features were delicate. In fact...she looked much like a porcelain doll, who has been on a shelf most of her life, without being played with or being out in the world. Kiyoko and Shen Kanda, the woman spoke, voice nasal and a bit snobbish...no, not just a bit, but a lot. You have failed to retrieve the last soul required before going after a witchs soul Your previous souls are now confiscated, and no longer in void. If Death deems you...worthy of staying at this prodigious Academy...you will have to start over from the very beginning.
Okay, that wasnt too bad Actually, Kiyoko expected that, since anyone who failed to retrieve the last soul had every soul before that confiscated. Its just what happens. Her violet eyes gave no indication that she heard the woman, although she heard her very clearly. With an awkward clearing of her throat, the doll-like person stepped to the side...giving the stage to Death. His almost comical mask gazed down at them with no hint as to what is coming up next, his large hands tucked behind his back. Kiyoko couldnt help but swallow the lump in her throat. Please Let Shen stay...she prayed.

Shen's life was at the corner of pain and agony. His head throbbed and he was pretty sure his nose was bleeding thanks to the close encounter he had just had with the floor. He had partly expected to use his sister as a shield, but Death had caught him off guard thanks to the happy demenor they had managed to pull off. Sitting up he rubbed his nose keeping one eye closed so that he could slowly re introduce himself to the world of the living which right now everything just looked like a greyish blob. Looking towards his sister he knew he had no real right to complain about pain, but even so he managed to confirm that yes his nose was bleeding. Looking up at the slender woman who declared that they would have to start from scratch even if they were allowed to stay he couldn't really believe it. It had taken them the better part of their life time to get as far as they had at this school to start over now was... Honestly it was probably getting off easy.
Death waved the nurse off at that point however. "Now now, these two have proven they are determined time and time again. Kicking them out would be a waist of resources." He said in his usual up beat attitude. Justifying his choice to the rather harsh woman who had just spoken down to the group. He looked at the her with a slight shrug not understanding the harsh tone she had taken with two of his students. He didn't find the two students disgusting or below him, just troubled, and working out problems was what this academy was here for, well that and fighting monsters.
"The problem then is that we can't expel them, but we also can't re assign either of you. Your wave lengths are unique as to be expected of a brother and sister who have inherited very different qualities. There is a layer of strong understanding that you two have, but it's also clouded." This time it was the professor who spoke up. "Have you two ever actually been able to resonate?"
Shen looked at his sister happy for a moment before it faded away. They had been spared expulsion, but also now they were being expected to keep the same partner? Suddenly there was the thought, or rather terror that his sister would just go back to holding him back again. It was a quick and almost angry thought that was then quickly replaced with the guilt he had for feeling that when his sister was so hurt. Looking to Kiyoko Shen shook his head.
"N-no. We've never been able to match wave lengths for enough time." He wanted to add something akin to 'because she's a scatterbrain who won't get her mind clear in battle.' but the last thing he wanted was for his face to meet the pavement again. One introduction to the floor was all he needed.
gpt
Is our wavelengths...really that unique? Kiyoko asked, glancing at her brother to double-check on him. There was blood gushing from his nose...not to mention he looked a little...well, like he was reintroducing himself to the world of the conscious and living, but other than that...he looked alright. One of her hands came to rest on his shoulder. By the way? she whispered, a smile curving her lips. I already knew that you were going to use me as a shield Im sorry that...you know...it didnt work out. Deaths Shinigami Chop hurts...doesnt it? A smug tone underlying the girls words, she turned back towards the situation unfolding before them. I need to apologize...but really...I cant imagine our wavelengths having qualities where no one else can match them. I love my brotherI really do...yet we cant even match each other. Thank you for not expelling us...especially given how...bad my grades are However...I dont see the reason why we cant be reassigned to new partners He deserves a better partner...cause I know Im the one holding him back.
Kiyoko knew the truth, even if her brother wont say it out loud. It was easy to figure out okay, maybe it did take her a little while, but still. While her grades didnt reach standards and would in fact make Albert Einstein roll over in his grave, laughing...his would not bring such shame. It was just a sad...sad fact of life. Though she never intended to, she has held him back...has kept him from reaching his full potential. And so...even though the idea nearly made her cry...she would give up her right as his meister...in order for him to reach that potential. After all...he deserves a good partner...and a better chance of being Deaths scythe. Even if it means...that she has to leave the Academy...
Tears making her vision a little blurry, Kiyoko turned her head so no one could see, quickly wiping away the annoying sign of weakness. What am I crying for? There is no reason to, I mean Death already said that we wont be assigned new partners...and we are not going to be expelled...so...I need to stop being a sissy, and suck it up Besides...Shen would laugh, and make fun of me, if he knew...wouldnt he? With that thought in mind, the girl drew in a deep, calming breath...then faced everyone once again.
I knowthat Im scatterbrained, that Im dense and temperamental I try my best, but it doesnt to be enough I dont think...it will ever be enough Im just...a failure as a meister. Shen is a good weapon, though Please, I really dont think you should make him stay with me I believe...he could...resonate with another meister, if he ever gets the opportunity to try. There is no reason he should be stuck, because I will always bring him down...no matter how hard I try
Kiyokos violent gaze intent on her hands, she didnt notice how the people exchanged glances, or how Death was looking at her with a quiet intensity. A few strands of orange came falling forward, hiding her eyes from their view. Once she said her piece, not to mention summoned a little bit of courage, she raised her head...her eyes going from one person to the next.
human
Shen grumbled lightly as she said that she knew what his plan had been, hearing the smug tone in her voice he almost sent a glare towards her. However he had to constantly remind himself that now was not a good time for that kind of thing. The simple fact was that they were in front of death, and the faculty if he couldn't get past his sisters overt obnoxiousness here he couldn't do it anywhere, and he stopped slightly hearing her words. He looked back at Kiyoko with a hestant glance. Unsure of what to say to her comments. She hadn't been that bad a partner. Sure she hadn't listened to all of his sound advice, but when pushed up against a wall Kiyoko had never really let him down, rather it always kind of seemed like it was the other way around. She had been the one hurt after all.
Death was the one shook his head next, and let out a long sigh. "You both have it wrong. You're so focused on the idea that you let the other down that you can't see this is a team problem. You both fail each other at critical moments." He said lightly, they were both to blame, Shen was too busy always backseat driving to make sure that he doesn't agree with Kiyoko, and Kiyoko had the instinct to be great, but let her self doubt second guess herself. "Your weapons want you to go left, but the meister wants to go right, half the time you can't pick a direction so you end up being hit in the face, the other half of the time one of you picked the wrong direction, and you end up getting hit in the face. Your problem isn't that either of you are weak individually, it's that together your a train wreck."
It was then that the professor stepped forward, picking up a brief case and placing it on the ground. Cracking it open he turned around the case to show a set of bracelets. "This is what we have decided, you two are on academic probation. For the next two weeks while you recover you will both be expected to wear these. "Eris if you would do the honor of telling them what it does."
Shen looked at the three members of faculty confused, probation? so they couldn't take any missions? He shook his head that seemed to make a lot of sense, with Kiyoko in her condition they wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway, but what were the bracelets, and while he had to agree with his sister on some of the things she said he also had to find his own voice in this conversation. "Kiyoko may be a pain, but she's not useless Given the chance and pushed to a wall with someone who doesn't crack under that kind of pressure I am certain that she would be a great meister."
Shen had a slowly sinking suspicion that this was about to go from kind of bad to really bad rather quickly. Turning to his sister he let out a long sigh. He loved her dearly, but she needed to stop trying to make him the exalted image of perfection. The fact was in the field he rarely performed as well as he could, or as well as he should. He brought her down in the field. However it seemed the teachers had made up their mind about giving them new partners. So the only problem that remained was what they would do about it. Shen and Kiyoko couldn't resonate, so how were they supposed to fix that problem?
gpt
Eris stepped forward, looking particularly smug about the whole situation. While you are on probation, you can not take on any missions, only attend classes here at the Academy. Also, until we say so otherwise, you cannot take off these bracelets, or attempt to do so. It is to try and improve your...fragmented relationship, in the long run...making you a better team as meister and weapon...if its even possible. Her pale green eyes went from one sibling to the other, her lips lifting into a rather...unnerving smile. Maybe it was just the situation under which they were meeting her, but...there was definitely something off about the woman very off indeed. It was almost as though...she was taking pleasure in their predicament, or whatever lies ahead of them. One hand rose to remove her glasses, which only made her eyes look more piercing.
Now These handcuffs are only for...special cases. I believe this qualifies, seeing as how you cant seem to get along without throwing insults at each other. Eris gave a soft chuckle, her black hair framing that angular face. You must listen to me very careful, while my associate, Mr. Rupus here puts them on you...alright? Her voice indicated that there was absolutely no other choice in the matter. The professor stepped forward yet again, picking up the briefcase he set down on the ground before...now walking towards them. Kiyokos violet eyes portrayed her nerves, wildly darting from one object to the next, however...she didnt try to get away from their impending punishment. For the next two weeks...you are to wear these handcuffs, and never leave each others sight. In fact, you will be sleeping in the same bed together...taking showers together...amongst other things together.
Mr. Rupus brought out one metal cuff, blue sparks dancing around it as he latched it onto Kiyokos wrist. Turning it first one way...then the other, she watched the sparks flash, almost like electricity above her skin. It was rather...nerve-wracking...yet she also thought of it as beautiful, though it would take quite a bit of getting used to. Her eyes watched as Shen received his, blue sparks dancing once moreonly to settle on a dark red, almost like a warning sign. Hers did the same.
If either of you try to walk more than three feet away from each other, the bracelets will give you an electric shock...not to mention...it will also shorten the distance you can move apart. I suggest you dont press your luck, Eris told them, her mouth in that creepy smile as she gazed upon both meister and weapon with a somewhat smug air. Her fingers tapped in a rhythm against her hip. The bracelets are already set...and so, you are now hereby under probation. Neither of you may come ask for the bracelets to be removed, or attempt to do so yourself. Am I understood...children? This last question was asked...though, given by her tone...she didnt expect any questions to arise.
Kiyokos mouth dropped open, her eyes wide with obvious shock. N-No! You cant do this! Shen may be my brother, but...I mean...hes not a girl! I dont want him to see my...private doings! Its not right! Please reconsider this! Her hands rose with jerky nerves, only to make her hiss with pain...and for one of her hands to fall back onto her lap. It hurt too much to move...at least too much. Unfortunately, that shoulder was connected to her right hand which was dominant over the left. What she was going to do for the next few weeks, she had no idea.
human
"Three feet?" Shen was almost bewildered that the school would even come to such a position. It was cruel and unusual punishment for sure. How was he supposed to deal with such a small leash? He didn't even have the same class schedual as his sister, how were they supposed to attend all of their classes together? part of him knew that the teachers had already thought about this, but he was indignant about this punishment. They couldn't actually expect him to abide by this. He was sure that this would never stand, and yet the bracelet was already fully secured to his wrist. He bit his lip hesitant to deal with this. Something like this was a terrible punishment. How were they expected to do anything with only three feet between them.
"Understood." He said finally, even if he was slightly bitter over the punishment, and he didn't think that it fit the crime that was doing with. He was angry about this, but at the same time he didn't really protest it. Doing so would not get the bracelet off, they had already made up their mind about this punishment and he was sure it wasn't something they had decided on lightly. The three of them looked like this had been taken the better part of the day, and if that was the case then yes this was there life for now. He would be trapped forever with his dimwitted sister and all of the tedium that probably presented. He sighed lightly unable to vent his anger anywhere productive.
Rupus stepped back after the bracelets had been activated. "What's more while we are not going to expel you, death has agreed to a stipulation. If you can not get back on track within a year, then your time at this academy as weapon and meister will be over. Till then you have a year to both get off of probation, and collect your 98 eight souls back. If you can do that, then you will be allowed to remain for however long it takes to regain the remaining two."
Shen blinked. He couldn't believe that they had such a narrow time limit. He looked to his sister, and meister. For a moment he couldn't tell which was worse, the narrow time frame he had to make something useful out of his sister, or fact that they were connected at the hip for the rest of time. "Why not just kill me." He said in a melodramatic tone.
Death shrugged. "Because that would be a waist of good resources, make no mistake I wouldn't have agreed to all of this if I didn't know you two could make the best of it, and come out stronger for it." He said dismissing them both so that they could go home for the night.
gpt
Were doomed Absolutely, positively, without a doubt...doomed Kiyoko realized, body numb. There is no way we can collect ninety-eight souls within a year...and there is no possible way we can improve our relationship before heading out to do just that. Death is just too mean...she thought, already close to tears. Before she could make another protest, or even speak up, Death dismissed them both...so that they can head home for the night. No...Please, reconsider this Her fingers curled into her shirt, head bowed. Because of this, orange came falling forward...the strands hiding her face from view. This is impossible We are never going to be...back on track...or even come close. I know Im holding Shen back He may not be perfect, but I know whos to blame at our...broken teamwork...and thats me
Kiyoko had to rely on her brother, her weapon and comrade, in order to stand back up. Shameful, really...but what else could she do? During the battle with Mr. Hyde, she was not only just a disgrace...she also received heavy injuries. His arm around her shoulders, holding her in an upright position, the dyo left Deaths office...both heavy with their own thoughts. I cant believe it I cant believe that for the next two weeks...we cant move three feet away from each other...that...we cant have a moment to ourselves, or anything Scenarios came to mind, the next more horrifying than the previous one. Oh no We are never going to improve our relationship...much less improve how we work together How can we? Im just a big, fat dummy...
It was dark outside. A day has passed since she fell unconscious, forcing them into this fate. The moon smiled high above, blood trickling down its chin while it laughed at the world below him. There wasnt many people out, given the late hour. Every once in a while, cats yowled and hissed, disrupting the silence. Cars, motorcycles and the like drove on down the nearly empty roads, taking advantage. Under their feet, dried leaves crunched, shattering into millions of little pieces. All in all...a quiet, almost eerie night...one that could turn forbidding in the blink of an eye.
Violet eyes lifted up towards the mocking, cynical moon, almost tempted to narrow in a glare. Of course...what good would it do her? It wouldnt really make her feel any better...nor would it improve their situation, or better yet...take off the silly bracelets. Nothing will change if she glared at the moon...except maybe the weather for tomorrow, who knows? Weird things like that does happen.
Shen? Kiyoko whispered, just as their building came into sight. Look I know that you think its partially your fault...for what happened...but thats not true Okay? Really I know its my fault, and Im willing to take the blame for it I just After everything thats happened, I really dont think we have much of a chance when it comes to...making our situation any better
human
Shen shook his head he didn't like the conditions of this agreement anymore then his sister, but his head was hung downwards in shame. He knew his sister meant well with her saying that what happened was all her fault but they had both heard death, and the real problem hadn't been her. "Kiyoko please... Right now your injured, because I chocked. I cracked under pressure, just like half the other times we have a mission it's not all you okay. You heard death we both have a lot we need to work on." Walking Kiyoko up the stairs to their building he grabbed his keys and opened the door for his injured sister. Shaking his head he was worried about the immediate future.
Shen's biggest problem right now was the bracelet. He didn't trust it, three feet seemed like such a short distance and while he knew that it would be needed he had no idea what that actually meant. It seemed to him like over the next two weeks there would be no shortage of dirty laundry the two had to air. If all of this didn't destroy them then who knows, maybe it would actually succeed in making them a stronger combination of meister and weapon. Then again it could also, and more likely, end in one of them killing the other. Both outcomes seemed very likely as he was now forced to put up with his sisters actions after a while.
Shen had to admire just how creepy their city was at night, the moon was disturbing enough, but there was enough scenery out tonight to give him chills, he was glad then to finally close the door on the night time chill and instead hold the warmth of indoors. Taking a short elivator ride up to their appartment simply because he didn't want to force his sister up the stairs he got in the door. "Before we go to bed, we are gonna need to gather everything we need." He said very clearly the last thing either of them needed to do was wake up in the middle of the night and forget that they were now attached. Walking off to go get a drink of water only to shock and wake the other.
"Listen, Kiyoko, I know I give you a hard time, but... your not nearly as dumb as you think you are." He said lightly trying to reassure her. the crushing amount of self doubt she had wasn't helping anyone let alone Shen who was slowly becoming more wary of his sister with each passing time she apologized to him. Now that they were away from death he was half expecting his sister's claws to come out.
gpt
No, youre just saying that, to try and make me feel better I know Im pretty dumb Theres no need to sugarcoat it, okay? Kiyoko tried to think about all she would need, such as pajamas, toothbrush, underwear, socks Wait. A question began to arise, intercepting her thoughts and making her pay attention. If three feet is our limit...which bedroom are we going to sleep in? Its not like we can take off our bracelets, only to put them back on in the morning Her gaze thoughtful, she leaned against the nearest wall, letting Shen go back into his bedroom for his...necessities. It wasnt altogether pleasant, hobbling on her own...but at least she wasnt depending entirely on him for transportation. Even with her injuries, she liked being a little bit independent.
Of course...even though the bracelets were on her mind, Kiyoko completely forgot about how the devices were on their wrists...and active. A jolt of electricity went through her body, not exactly painful...but definitely a shock. Heart pounding wildly, she threw a glance in his direction...also recovering from the electric attack. Im sorry about that I just I was being...you know, an idiot How is this going to improve anything? she asked within the privacy of her mind. Yes, we cant walk away from each other...but really...wont this make it worse? After all...we cant have even a moment of privacy...wont we get on each others nerves? I know he will...and its probably the same, vice versa...
Kiyoko wrapped an arm around his shoulders...ignoring the sting her pride just received. I wish I could be smarter...if only to make our lives easier Once they reached his room on their right, she hobbled inside...keeping her eyes down on the floor. Her cheeks blushed a dark pinkish-red. Even though they are brother and sister, related by blood and everything she didnt know what to expect in his room...or what he would bring into their joined room. Are there porn magazines hidden underneath his bed? Or are posters of naked girls on one of his walls...or on all four? The thoughts making her blush even darker...she forced herself from going any further than that, and instead kept up with him...so that they wont accidentally receive another shock.
Where are we going to sleep? Kiyoko finally spoke up, blushing still. I mean...we cant go to our separate rooms, and um...there is also the issue of...how are we going to change clothes. I dont know if the living room couch is big enough for the both of us The...The only option may be that we sleep in either your room...or mine, depending on which bed is bigger...and more comfortable
human
Shen felt the sting of the bracelets before he could even speak up as his sister walked away from him trying to be more indipendant. He winced as he looked down. that was a warning shot more likely the charge would get more painful with each incursion they took. Best to use the few feet they had away from each other sparingly. He shook his head as his sister once again called herself an idiot. ~Does she really have no self confidence? and why is she being so clingy now?~ He thought as somewhat selfishly. It wasn't that they hadn't been close in the past but they had grown distant, and so much touching wasn't like her. Maybe it was just that she needed him for support, but even that was starting to get old Shen thought darkly.
Shen's room was a library of sorts. Everything had it's place, and every place had a thing. The walls were clustered with shelves that contained everything from books to Small miniature figures. A hobby he had done his best to hide, as some of the figures were of women who's clothing could be best described as loose, and their physical proportions were nothing less then exaggerated. They varied in job from sexy witches, to nurses, to one girl who had animal ears. Shen scratched the back of his neck trying to figgure out what he would need for the night. Opening a drawer he pulled out a pair of socks and closed the drawer quickly and loudly. forgetting that it was the drawer he had stashed the few dirty magazines he actually had. ~Who actually puts that kind of stuff under the bed? that's the first place people check.~ He said simply glad that the magazines were covered by many pairs of socks. He grabbed a shirt, and a pair of pajama pants. He scratched his head thinking over which bed they would use.
Shen turned to face his bed, it was a single, not exactly comfortable for two people. "If we slept in here we would practically be breathing on one another." He said finally after all of the thinking he had put into the statement. His bedsheets were clean at least, he had washed them just a night ago, but the bedding was old, and his room had his scent all around it. To tell the truth he liked his room, but there was nothing extremely dirty about it... if you got past the sock drawer, and figgurines. Looking through his books he paused for a moment pulling up one that he enjoyed reading. Letting out a small yawn he put the fresh clothing under his arms and turned around ready to leave. "Let's see what your room is like then we can decide." He said happily leaving the room with his sister in toe.
Walking across the way to her side, he was less embarrassed about walking into her room then she had been about his. In truth he wanted to know the dirty little secrets. How much of a mess was it? He doubted his sister had sex toys strewn about the room, but he was going to bet that she hadn't done her laundry in a while. Did she keep anything in her drawers or maybe she had a bunch of laced underwear she wore for boyfriends strung up in her closet. A room was a treasure trove of black mail material, and he desperately wanted to know what secret lives his sister had lived.

Kiyokos room was not what he imagined it would be. Though she may not be the brightest girl in class, or at the Death Weapon Meister Academy...well...her personal items all have a place within the four walls. There was no alarming mess on the floor, or inside her closet. In fact...everything was in pretty good order. Of course not everything was in perfect order such as the papers on her desk, strewn about...and the few cases of DVDs next to the television set...but other than that? It was clean, tidy even. Mm Violet eyes glanced from one object to the next, trying to think of what is necessary...and what isnt. Fingertips brushed aside a few strands of orange, tucking them behind an ear to get them out of the way. What will I need? Besides pajamas, socks...panties, a bra...that sort of thing? Her eyes darkened around the edges while she thought.
There was few books, since she didnt much care for it...yet next to her desk, there was a small bookcase dedicated to her textbooks. Her grades may not reflect it, but she does try hard...and yet, the material never seems to stay in her head for long. One was even open, right on her desk...a few margins with notes on the side. Inside her closet, clothes were arranged just so, the jeans on the left...and the shirts on the right. Everything was color-coordinated as well, though it did appear a bit...out of place for the young girl. Shoes were lined up along the bottom, almost like soldiers. Kiyoko began leading Shen towards her dresser, where pajamas, underwear and the like was kept. Now these clothes were not as organized, for it would be difficult to keep them color-coordinated...but like everything else, each item had a place where it belonged. No lacy underwear was within...nor was there any kind of garment to be ashamed of. Honestly...she didnt care to date, not with a mission in mind. So all the boys in the past, who seems to be boyfriends...were not. Just illusions, not set by her.
Lets see Kiyoko murmured under her breath. In one arm she gathered her favorite pajamas, socks, panties, and a bra for tomorrow morning. The extra-large shirt was green in color, the front having the face of a big white bunny. Usually, well...she would just have on the shirt on, for those hot, stuffy nights...but she grabbed a pair of blue shorts for the occasion. I need to head over to the closet, if you dont mind Making certain that he was following her...she looked in the closet, only to grab jeans and a purple shirt. I dont know how you feel about sleeping in my bed I mean...My bed is big enough, but still Im fine with us sleeping in here, as long as you dont go messing with my things You understand? A glare was shot...almost deadly, given the intensity...yet it was obvious that if she was better, it would be a whole lot worse.
Kiyoko glanced towards her bed, taking in the dimensions. Honestly...I have only a queen sized bed I dont know if we could sleep on it, without breathing on each other but it could work. A few of my stuffed animals would have to be knocked down, and my pillows moved...but thats not a big deal With a shrug she went over to it, sitting down with a long, relieved sigh. Sorry It feels good to sit down, after walking so much Its probably a good thing we wont be going on missions for a while After stretching one arm...then the other...though carefully, the young girl ran a hand through her hair, finding it a bit of an annoyance...for it wasnt in its usual pigtails.

Shen didn't really know if he was supposed to be impressed with Kyoko's room, or highly disappointed. There was almost nothing inside here that he could use to black mail or otherwise torment his sister, and on top of that it wasn't even the sea of items he had envisioned. What little mess he had seen was controlled, and honestly the entire room looked like a mirror of his own except for one thing, one giant glaring difference that he practically spent time staring venom towards. He hadn't even known that she had it in her room until he walked in here. It's presence not only confused him slightly but angered him as he followed his sister through the room so she could gather her things.
"Okay when the hell did you get an extra TV?" As far as Shen had known there had only ever been one TV in the house, and for the most part he had always let his sister have it. She horded the outside TV, and yet apparently she had one in here as well? The many times in his memory that he could have no SHOULD, have told her to fuck off when he was watching a program, and yet relinquished the cable to her because he didn't want the fight, and all that time she had her own one in her private room? Shen's eyes twitched noticeably as she told him that he could stay in this room as long as he didn't break anything. He returned his own glare to match her's in fierceness. She was the one who tended to break things.
Shen knew Kyoko was hurt, and needed to rest comfortably but god it was tempting to just throw her onto the ground and take the bed only for himself. If she still had her pigtails he would have pulled on one by now just for that glare, instead however his eyes returned the cold menace of her own eyes. He wasn't injured, and if she wanted to play then she forfeited the right to play that card against him. He may be tied to her hip at the moment but that didn't mean he had to take any of her attitude, and he certainly didn't want to take that from her. "Your bed will do." His tone was actually slightly embarassed however there was one more problem that he had to think about after a long moment he paused the glare leaving him.
"Where do we change?" The question running through Shen's mind was more along the lines of How could they change? They were attached at 3 feet, they couldn't really be in separate rooms or anything of the like. Shen guessed that meant that they had to go on the honor system for changing their clothing. Just knowing his sister would eventually have to see him nude gave him a slight shudder up through his spine. "I guess if we both turn our backs to each other it wouldn't be so bad." He said scratching his head. ~What am I thirteen she's a girl and your a guy, deal with it.~
gpt
A long, exasperated sigh left Kiyokos lips. I swear she murmured, shaking her head, orange moving back and forth with the motion. Look...I didnt buy it, if thats what youre so wound up about It was given to me, by one of my old friends. Akemi...gave it to me when she bought herself a new one. Besides...it barely works, half the time I can play video games on it, but whenever I try playing a movie...it starts glitching really bad It even messes up the sound, so I cant understand what the actors are saying The venom practically dripped off her words onto the carpet. That was the only reason she ever tried to grab the living room TV for herself...because the audio didnt glitch, not to mention it doesnt try to change channels randomly.
Now...If youre done being hateful, maybe we should go to bed. Kiyoko heard his question, which was a lot better than the jealousy...but brought up a different set of problems. Where, huh? she thought, her eyes growing thoughtful. Tapping one finger against her cheek, she began looking around...not sure how to answer that question. Finally he spoke up giving input himself. It might work Or better yet, why dont you stand in the bathroom...and I stand outside...the link between our bracelets will be caught in the door, but we probably can have some privacy, as long as we dont move too far Her words trailing off, she mentally winced, now thinking over the idea...and finding that it couldnt possibly work that it was horrible.
Why cant Death just give us new partners? Kiyokos self-confidence spiraling down to lower depths, she ran a hand through her long hair...and laid down. I cant believe I suggested such a...a horrible idea It couldnt possibly work Besides, Shen will always be hateful, and mean...and think I am a big, fat idiot I dont know why I bother with stuff like this Quickly the girl buried her face into an old stuffed animal...one, ironically enough, he gave to her at her tenth birthday. It was a little ragged, of course, but it was obviously well-loved. The gray wolf looked a lot like it did, back in the old days...except for the little collar around its neck, which she bought not long after the present was given. One ear was bitten on the edge...from a dog incident...yet she held onto it as though it was her best friend. Her hand rubbed over its back softly.
If...If you want to stand back to back, and try changing clothes Thats fine. You can go first I really dont care I promise, I wont look either Kiyoko mumbled into her animal, arms tight around it. Not even looking up, she started taking off her shoes...one hitting the carpet, then the other. Later shell put them up, but right now...comfort was upmost in her mind. After a long minute or so, she hesitantly glanced up at him...waiting for something...anything to be said.
human
Shen turned his back to his sister for a moment, but paused turning back after she grabbed something. She still had that? He remembered when he got her that wolf, He had saved up his allowances for weeks to buy something he remembered really wanting, only for their mother to remind him as he was leaving that it was Kiyoko's tenth birthday. He had felt so guilty, that he had went to almost every store he could walk to trying to find something he knew his sister had liked, and ended up spending the entirety of the money on that wolf. Seeing it now he hardly remembered what it was that he was had even been saving for. He sat down beside his sister seeing her harsh reaction to the jealousy of the TV. Out of everything else he hadn't expected to see the wolf again, but he remembered the day so vividly. because it was before they had become enemies.
Shen's hand brushed Kiyoko's long hair rubbing her back lightly as he looked at the wolf, it was a little damaged, but honestly he had never expected to see it in such good condition as well loved as it was. He reached out, and took it from his sister, lightly at first holding it. "I remember when I got this for you." He said lightly under his breath. Looking at the damaged ear, he paused for a moment. He wasn't even sure why he had taken it from her at this point, knowing it would just cause a little more chaos between them, but he was caught up in a moment of nostalgia. Shaking his head after a moment he gave it back to her but he still smiled, and patted her on the head. "I'm glad you kept it."
Laying down beside Kiyoko he let out a long sigh as he looked up at the roof. "What the hell happened between us?" He said lightly. He remembered the times when they had been kids, and he had been able to tolerate her not just for a few hours, but almost every day. Hell he remembered a version of Kiyoko that was almost adorable, one that he had enjoyed spending time with, and then somewhere along the line everything had gone wrong. There was of course the big change, the day that had shifted everything, and the two had never really spoken of.
Their parents... it was like a big taboo to even speak about them, and now He and Kiyoko had just come to accept life as it was, and after a while they had grown apart. He looked at Kiyoko, after a while not really sure what there was to say. Just that this bed was going to be an awkwardly tight fit. even now as he was on his side looking at his sister, his body was awkwardly close to hers. At this proximity she could probably have even felt his breath. The bathroom door suggestion she had wasn't a bad one, the door was kind of thick, but three feet between the bracelets was allowed. At the same time it felt like just a lot of work. He was tired, and really the last thing he wanted to do was have to work at something as simple as getting changed. However at the moment he just laid beside Kiyoko off in a bit of a daydream as he looked at the wolf. "I'm sorry Kiyoko." His voice was rather light as he continued to rub her back.
gpt
Kiyoko felt the bed dip down with his added weight. What, no smart comment? No barbed remark to put me in my place? Just...nothing? Her fingers curled into the little wolf, scratching at her favorite spots in its fur...finding comfort in that simple act. It may be old It may be a little ragged, but it was her favorite stuffed animal amongst her whole collection. Of course she didnt know the story behind it...or how he knew what she would absolutely love to death...yet she couldnt bear to part with the creature. Maybe it reminds me of better times...when we didnt argue nearly as often as we did now...and when we used to play together, and not feel like it was an obligation I really miss those times I mean We would spend all day together, not because Mother forced us to...but because we loved being together I wonder what happened to us besides, well...the obvious. I would love it if we could...start...getting along better...
A hand brushed her long hair, rubbing her back lightly. Kiyoko almost jumped out of her skin, having not expected it, and hesitantly raised her head. The wolfs head was tucked underneath her chin, almost cutely. It was then that he reached out, taking it and holding onto it. I...I remember when you gave Luna to me, too she murmured, not sure how to take his reaction. After a moment or so, he gave it back with a nostalgic smile...his hand patting her on the head. Of...Of course I kept it I love it I will never...ever...get rid of it With a stubborn look she hugged the wolf tightly...nestling her face into the soft, fluffy chest and rubbing it there. Again, one of her hands rubbed over its back...giving it a little deserved love.
Shen laid down beside her. Kiyoko glanced in his direction, trying to figure out what is on his mind. Once he let out a long sigh, he looked up at the roof. What the hell happened between us? he asked lightly. Oh...So...he was thinking along the same lines I was she realized, incapable of smiling at that realization. Her fingers began picking at her comforter finding stray threads. We got along much better...when we were kids, didnt we? He was adorable, I think, just randomly coming at me with hugs Somewhere down the road, everything just went to...hell. I dont know what happened to us, but Id love it if we patch things up between us...
Kiyoko looked back at her brother, thinking. The bed was going to be a tight fit, this she could see, since there was only...four inches, from his arm to hers. No, dont be sorry the young girl whispered. It actually felt...good...him rubbing her back...and being this close together. It may sound...really weird, but still Her lips curved into a hesitant smile, directed directly at him. I know that you are I can see it, on your face Her hand rose, her fingertips touching his cheek...tracing along his facial features. Im sorry, too Rolling onto her side, she tucked one arm underneath her head...still tracing her fingertips along his mouth. Her breasts brushed his arm with the motion. Can we try to get along better? Please? I miss I miss us playing video games together, just being competitive and having some food fun I really...miss us just...understanding each other, and tolerating each other We dont have to be like we were as kids, but...Id like it if we can at least Please? Her violet eyes blinked up at him.
human
Shen let out a long sigh as he felt his sisters hand press against his cheek, her fingers lightly tracing his face as he continued to rub her side since he could no longer reach her back. There was an odd comfort to everything as he felt her breath, and her breasts as they rubbed against his arm with every movement, they were going to need a much larger bed if this was going to be their life. He already felt awkward, but at the same time he closed his eyes lightly enjoying the touch of his sister, as awkward as he knew it was to say such a thing. Nodding his head he honestly wanted them to have a better relationship then the one they had together. Maybe this was the best way for them to reconcile everything? It wouldn't really be easy for either of them he was certain of that.
"It will take some time, but maybe we will get used to each-other again? I'd like us to not be enemies anymore." It sounded like a long shot, that the two of them would ever really have a level of simple understanding, and yet that was the way of it. Getting up and pulling himself away from her, he turned his back to her for a moment. The way she had been rubbing his face had Shen feeling kind of odd, and he shook his head slightly trying his best to forget that they were going to have to be so close. "I'm gonna get ready for bed. Everything has me drained."
He had his back to his sister as he pulled off his shirt. His body was unscathed, with no real scars to mark it. His body wasn't really toned, but it was skinny, and at the moment rather relaxed. even as he pulled off his socks and shoes, he seemed rather comfortable as he was depending on the fact that his sister wouldn't really be trying to look at him. As far as he knew she wasn't really a deviant of any kind, and yet even as he dressed he could almost feel the eyes upon him.
Pulling off his pants, and underwear he changed into his pajama pants as quickly as possible, choosing to not go with a shirt. More because it was going to be hot with him laying beside his sister, and having a bunch of covers over his body, and the last thing he really wanted to do was sweat in his sleep. If she was looking at him she would have seen his ass, or maybe more, as did stand naked for several moments as he was getting his pants ready, enjoying the slight breeze that ran through him.
"Okay i'm done." He said lightly wondering when he could turn around. As awkward as he felt towards his sister part of him wanted to sneak some kind of guilty glance at her body, just to settle his own curiosity. He knew it was wrong, and that mostly it would have only started some kind of fight, but part of him wanted to turn around. So much so that of course he found his neck craning slightly and his eyes drifting, Hoping that his sister wouldn't notice him sneaking a look, though if she did it would only have been because she was trying to look at him.
gpt
It will take time, but...maybe it will work, since we are trying to get along better Kiyoko knew it may not happen tomorrow...or in the next week, yet if they continued trying their relationship will start improving sooner or later. Her fingertips trailed down over his cheek, before he began pulling away, the tips going down over his neck and shoulder. I would like us...to not be enemies, too Her smile frail around the edges, as though the smile was capable of shattering, she buried her face into the nearest pillow. O-Okay You go ahead and get ready Im pretty...drained, myself I wont look while you change, I promise Yet for some reason...curiosity about his body struck, and before she knew it...she was peeking through her fingers. What...What am I doing? I am not...I am not a perv! Why do I want to look at his body?
Kiyoko felt heat lick at her cheeks, however...she still couldnt tear her eyes away. His body was unscathed, with no real scars to mark it, unlike most weapons. There wasnt any real definition, but it did look a bit on the skinny side The violet pair traveled up towards where his hair tickled the back of his neck...and then down...until meeting the waistband of his pants. When she realized that he was close to pulling off his pants...she quickly pulled her eyes away...blushing darkly. Her cheeks felt hot to the touch...something she was ashamed of, given how she was looking at her brother changing just moments ago. Her eyes screwed tightly shut, the dark red color persisting.
You...Youre done? Kiyoko first opened one eye, just to make sure...and then let out a sigh of relief. O-Okay...Its my turn to change Crawling across the bed, she picked up the clothes she found earlier, and hobbled onto her feet. Um I...I have trouble with balance right now I know...that this sounds really wrong, but...while Im changing Do you think you can, just...I dont know, make sure I dont fall over? Her violet eyes blinked up at him innocently, not having any ill intentions behind her request. Really...she didnt want to fall, and make her injuries any worse.
After a long minute or two of silence, Kiyoko realized the foolishness of her request, and quickly turned away...so he couldnt see her blush. S-Sorry Dont worry about it Ill just hold onto the bed, okay? Just...turn around Why am I making such a fool of myself? Its just my brother Theres no reason to be so...jittery around him Her back turned to him, she carefully pulled her shirt off...and laid it down by her feet. Next she reached around to the bra clasp only to wince in pain, fingers curling at its presence. Nn Her head bent, one breath hissed through her teeth.
Her back was long and smooth, almost like a graceful swans neck...only without majestic white feathers. The bra she had on was white, with a little white lace around the edges. Her orange hair flowed down the length of her back...the tips ending right at the middle of her back. Sh-Shen...do you think...you can help me here? she asked, mortified.
human
Shen turned when his sister let out her his of pain, and then asked for help. He swallowed lightly figuring that she probably would have needed such a thing. He didn't even know why he was really so nervous. She was his sister, and she was hurt, of course he would help her with out any real repercussions. He let out a small affirming sound as he walked up towards Kiyoko. His hand passing over her back for a moment as he got to her bra strap. He looked at it for a moment as she moved her hair out of the way, and then finally uncliped it.
"There you go, and here, I'll spot you incase you fall." He said avoiding any kind of real contact between her skin and his own at the moment. He stood back watching her back so that he couldn't see anything but also keeping his hands at the ready encase she did fall. He felt almost kind of like a letch, unsure of what he was doing. His face had a giant blush on them as he waited for her to finish up and put something on, but at the same time he knew that with her clutzy reputation falling and making her injury worse was a very real possibility.
So he was careful to not do anything that would hurt her, or get in her way, rather he was just there as the support encase she needed it. He had unclipped the bra but he wasn't really sure if she wanted him to fully remove it, he doubted that was the case and instead only brushed his hands along her shoulders moving the bra down slightly so that she could remove it easily without anymore of his help. Another time or another day he would have happily made fun of her for having him do this, but as it was he was tired, and slight embarrassed.
It was weird honestly he shouldn't have felt embarrassed she was the one getting undressed, and yet he couldn't help but feel a fire upon his face, as he was red with embarrassment. "There you go, and don't worry if you fall I'm here to catch you." He said his face looking away slightly so he didn't end up looking at her ass when she took off her pants.
gpt
Kiyoko shivered as his hand passed over her back. Wait, why am I shivering? Theres no reason to His fingers got to her bra strap, and for a moment...nothing happened. It was electrifying, this one moment in time. Quickly she gathered her hair, and pulled it over her shoulder, that way it wasnt...well, in the way. Th-Thanks I cant seem to...reach back as far as I usually can It hurts too much, right now Laughing awkward, she waited until the bra grew slack around her torso...and made sure it stayed up, by pressing her hands against her breasts.
O-Okay, thanks again Ill try not to fall, but...theres no guarantees it wont happen Kiyoko told him with yet another awkward laugh. A giant blush burning at her face, she gently guided one strap down her shoulder...then its partner, careful not to let the device fall. Finally, the bra was off, and her hands went to her skirt...pushing the material down her slender legs. Please...Please dont be looking...she thought, blushing darker at the idea of him looking at her. The skirt fell to around her ankles, revealing a pair of white panties, with purple around the edges.
After kicking it away, Kiyoko bent down...hobbling while working on her panties. Every night, she changes pairs, simply out of old habit, really. One foot managed to make it out while the other got caught, making her stumble. Aah Her hand flew towards the bed, catching herself just in time...that is, until she tried to get back on her feet again. Oh no she gasped, right before falling into Shen, making them tumble back onto the bed. Somehow, during the fall...she got twisted around, so she fell on top of him...but not on her back. Instead, her chest met his...which meant, he received an excellent view of her breasts, and probably the rest of her body.
Kiyoko may not exercise, but her figure was still shapely. Her breasts, petite as they may be, were full and lush, easily enough to satisfy any man. Her hips were wide, and her longs long and slender. All in all...she was the entire package. Their eyes met, hers wide and in shock not to mention her face a dark, burning red. I-Im sorry she told him in a hoarse voice, burying her face into his chest from the embarrassment.
human
Shen moved when his sister stumbled trying to catch her, and in a moment later he was suddenly under her, and he had seen every inch of her. His face couldn't have been more red as he had just witnessed every inch of his own sister, and more then that her bare breasts were pressing against his bare chest. her lower body was snug up against him, and her face was burried into his chest as she appologized. there was a lot of awkward air that filled the room, but Shen actually found himself rather okay with all he had seen. Part of him knew that he should have been a little creeped out that his sister was naked and against him, but even as she appologized his arms encircled her, and held her against his chest.
Shen didn't say anything he was rather embarassed himself and didn't really know what to say, what he did know was that right now there was a pleasent pleasure to the way Kiyoko held her body against his, feeling the warmth and smoothness of her naked body against his, it was a feeling that if it weren't for her being his sister he honestly could have gotten used too. He hugged her, his nails tracing along the back of her spine as he looked over everything taking in the fact that his sisters rather full breasts were pressed against his body, and Shen was oddly okay with that fact.
In fact Shen found himself enjoying it, there was a tension he hadn't expected, past the awkwardness there was a warmth, and heat to it that laced his body with an odd sense of electricity. Even as he held his sister he probably did it for a little too long, before snapping out of it. "Here let me help you up." He said finally as he started to push her up, helping her back onto her feet, and getting up and standing. In the process however, his eyes took in another long glance at her body, and this time it wasn't quick or even hidden, he couldn't hide it. There was an odd excitement to his eyes as he had seen everything, and try as he might he couldn't shake that odd energy from him.
She's my sister, what am I doing suddenly looking at her like that? Shen shook his head hard trying to bypass his mind, and pretend like he hadn't just looked at his sister like he was a starving man, and she was a plate of delicious food, but he most certainly had. Shen couldn't shake any of that it was the pure and honest truth, and his face was a flaiming red after doing it. "I'm... i'm sorry." He said finally his tone was very low, but he made it very apparent why he was appologizing part of him couldn't help but think he had just violated her trust or something along those lines.
gpt
I-Im sorry, I am...so, so sorry Kiyoko said over and over again. Her face burning to a crisp, well...most likely, anyway...she kept her head in his chest, not wanting to see his expression. After a little while...when nothing was said, she hesitantly raised her face wanting to at least see his reaction. His arms came to encircle her...which is the last thing shed expect from him. Heart pounding rather hard and fast, she raised herself up a little unknowingly revealing more of her breasts to him. A few strands of orange tumbled down over her shoulders...the waves tickling the crevice between her breasts, almost as though trying to draw his attention to the pair. One of her hands smoothed over his bare chest, memorizing how it felt beneath her fingertips.
Kiyoko bit her lip. It felt pretty...good, laying on top of him like she was. Maybe its because of it simply being...well, him, or maybe its because hes warm, on a chilly night like this but either way, she couldnt deny that it was nice. Her cheeks still pink, though a rather attractive pink on her...she found herself pressing a little closer...just to prolong this moment. While he embraced her, his nails traced along the curve of her spine, as he began looking over everything For some reason, she was...okay, with him looking...with him, taking his time to get up. Every inch of her body was growing rather...warm...with electricity coursing through her veins.
Th-Thanks Kiyoko told him, her soft, delicate hands scrambling to raise her body. Um I...I appreciate the help Once she was standing on her own two feet, she felt his eyes upon her again...not quick...not hidden...but rather, taking its sweet time to devour everything there was to see. And so...for a moment...just a moment, she let him see it all and then covered her breasts with her hands, so he couldnt see anymore. There was a strange excitement, about him looking at her...about him...actually looking at her, and liking what he sees or...was she just misreading the situation, like she does almost every single day? Oh...Its so hard to tell...especially since this was her brother she was talking about her brother she was thinking about.
I actually...like feeling his eyes on me Kiyoko offered a faint smile, her cheeks pink. D-Dont be sorry Its okay. Um, I have to finish getting dressed Since I seem to be having trouble standing up, without falling over Do you think, by chance you can help put my shirt on? I might be able to manage my panties, but...I dont know Ill at least try to put my panties on, so you dont have to
human
Shen had too have imagined the moment where She had simply let him see every part of her. His hands were shaking lightly even as he reached for her shirt, some part of him was telling him to go a different route, wanted her to tell her that clothing wasn't necessary after what they had just gone through or try and stall it out in some way so that she didn't need to get dressed instead however he grabbed her shirt and nodded when she asked him for the help. "Y-yeah I can do that." He said his voice trembling after a moment as he opened up the shirt and helped his sister put it on.
He lifted his sisters arms up for a moment as he pulled her shirt down, and just for a moment as she was standing up, blindfolded by the fact that she had a shirt over her eyes, with her breasts more exposed then ever, Shen had a bit of a moral crises as it were, and as he pulled the shirt down to cover her skin, his hands brushed against her soft breasts, and for a tenth of a second or so he groped his sister, feeling the softness and buoyancy of her breasts, enjoying the short moment that his hand was inside her shirt. it hadn't been necessary, and half of him expected his sister to call him out on it, that it had some how been the step to far on this crazy rail road that was suddenly becoming the first of many nights he would have to spend with his sister.
There was an odd tension to that fact, as he finished and let her shirt fall over the rest of her. "There you go, all covered up." He said lightly, in truth part of him wanted to bite his lip and say something else, but at the same time considering her track record with the panties she had the first time around he quickly grabbed them before she could really protest, and got on his knees. "Your a bit of a clutz, so really lets just speed this up." He said lightly making a little bit of fun at the way she had fallen on him earlier, but at the same time he had meant it to be a little more endearing.
Oddly this time even though his face was closer to her lower body, it was very clear that Shen kept his eyes toward the ground. Trying to avoid any more mistakes or accedents the like of which his sister had, he allowed his sister to step into her panties before pulling them up her long slender legs, and finally covered the lower half of her body, his face couldn't possibly have been more red, even as he pulled back on her panties elastic and let it snap lightly against her backside a little juvinile yes, but part of him was expecting her to squeak after it happened. "Anything else you need?" He said finally after she was dressed, and thankfully so he didn't think his heart could take another night like this. There was a rare kind of adrenaline pumping through his body, that was making everything go ridged, and yes he couldn't really hide the bulge all of their interactions had caused against the light fabric of his pajama pants. He wasn't wearing any actual underwear himself after all, and after all he had just seen and done, he felt... invigorated, perhaps even more so then when he normally looked over his magazines, but at the same time disturbed, after all this was his sister, and his meister. This was going to get complicated quickly.

Kiyoko gave him yet another smile. This smile was a little less hesitant, but not any less beautiful. In fact...compared to the other smiles shes given in the past...this one seemed more genuine. Th-Thank you I really appreciate it...and...Im sorry, that Im having to rely on you so much Once he lifted her arms up, the material went down over her arms yet she closed her eyes as it was pulled down over her head. Of course...doing that made her four senses heighten Her skin tingled when his larger hands brushed against her breasts actually wanting...more of the attention. And...for a tenth of a second...he groped her, both hands inside her shirt. A part of her wanted to call him out on it...but another part didnt.
It was strange, but...she liked how it felt, being touched by him...being looked at by him There was no reason behind it, because...well, hes her brother, and she shouldnt like that but she did, and that fact wont change. Kiyoko opened her eyes when the shirt fell to the middle of her thighs, covering all the skin from shoulder to there...oh, and revealing a little bit as well. With this particular shirt, a good deal of cleavage could be seen...though she didnt realize it earlier, for she didnt think it would be an issue. Y-Yep Im all covered up she replied, heart racing hard. Shen bent down before her with panties in hand, making her blush dark...very dark. I-I know Im a klutz, but...you dont have to put it that way One hand came to lay on his shoulder for balance...the other doing the same on the opposite shoulder. H-Honestly
Kiyoko knew he was making fun of her, just a little bit, but also trying to be endearing. It was rather...sweet, at least in her opinion Lifting one leg...and then the other, she stepped into her panties, finding it clear that he wasnt going to look His hands tugged the panties up long, slender legs, until finally the pair was around her hips. Even from high above, she could tell that his face was beet red, almost painfully so. A squeak escaped when he pulled back on her panties, letting it snap lightly against her backside. H-Hey! That wasnt nice! the young girl half-laughed, her own face turning red. Ill get you back for that later! I-I can promise you that!
After laughing, she shook her head in answer to his question. N-No I dont think so but we should go brush our teeth, before turning in for the night Kiyokos violet eyes rose to meet his, the depths glistening with unshed tears. Her lips curved into a smile. It was then that she noticed his...problem...however, she didnt say anything on the matter. Her fingers curled into her t-shirtnow holding onto it, tugging on the material lightly. Are...Are you hungry? I think I am, and...I can make us a little something...before we go to bed I mean, its really up to you. I may be a little hungry, but not so much where I cant wait until we get up Why am I rambling? I shouldnt be, because...this is just my brother Its not like hes some boy I have a huge crush on...right? Ooh...just what are we getting into? she asked no one, already feeling as though trouble was right around the corner.
human
Kiyoko didn't have to say anything, Shen twisted himself around turning his back to her, to try and hide his problem. Laughing slightly at how red his face was, it was a problem by far. However he was happy, for everything else Kiyoko was smiling and laughing, how rare had that been? Shen felt a slight amount of calmness at that simple fact. She was happy, and oddly so was he, yeah right around the bend there was bound to be problems, not completely unlike the one he was already having, but right now her smile was warming, and her laugh was rather cute. "I don't think I've heard you laugh like that in... a long time." His voice was rather nostalgic, as he looked at her careful not to turn his body, just his face, and return a rather warm smile seeing her tears it was an odd thing.
Shaking his head Shen let out a low yawn. "I don't really need food right now, if you want something I can make make you something small, or just wait while you make it, but in truth I feel just kind of drained. I wanna sleep." He said lightly giving a long sigh. He was tired, and yet she was right, he walked slowly out of the room making sure that Kiyoko would follow him. She did say she was hungry which he understood honestly she hadn't eaten anything in the last few hours since her injuries aside from a glass of water so the kitchen seemed like a reasonable place to go.
He had no doubt that somewhere along the line she would get him back for the little prank he had pulled, but honestly right now seeing Kiyoko as happy as she was, it was both rare and yet fulfilling. Of course chances were good that by morning all of this good would be undone as the two would start to get on each others nerves or cross some kind of line that the other wasn't ready or comfortable with. In truth the punishment for however many steps it had brought them together would most likely be their undoing in the end.
Going into the kitchen he turned to her, his problem gone for the moment as he looked around the kitchen. "What do you want to eat, and really I can help you make it, all you have to do is give me directions." He said lightly waiting for her to tell him what needed to be done. He wasn't a bad cook when it came to bachelor food, but in truth when it came to larger meals he tended to be a little more vapid then most. The stove had plenty of black marks from back in the days when he had really thought he could learn to cook. Those days had resulted in some of the larger fires that this apartment had ever really seen, but at least he had tried, and in truth he had never really given up, he still owned a bunch of old cook books, he just didn't try anything with the oven anymore.
gpt
R-Really? You think so? Kiyoko couldnt really think of the last time shes laughed like that but she did know one thing for sure, and that is...it felt good. Her cheeks a rosy pink, she offered him yet another smile as a precious gift. Violet eyes clashed with brown, and for a moment...just a moment...she felt as though he was looking straight into her heart. It gave a rather hard thump in response, making her chest ache. U-Um I know what you mean, I feel a bit drained myself but I cant ignore my stomach for long It has a mind of its own Dont worry, right after we eat...and brush our teeth...well go straight to bed, okay? Her hand outstretched, she helped him up onto his feet carefully, and with their hands still linked, the pair slowly walked out of her room. Of course...it was still pretty difficult for her to walk without a great deal of support, so she kept stumbling into him.
Because of the stumbling, Kiyoko would fall into his back...her breasts pressing through the shirt, into it. I-Im sorry she murmured for the fifth time, cheeks blazing. Their fingers touching by just the tips...the young girl tried not to think about what happened back in her room...or about the strange feelings she had, from him looking at her naked body. Am I a pervert? she wondered, biting her lip. I never had such thoughts before...but...the thing is, hes my brother I shouldnt be having such thoughts, or feeling this way Oh, I hope things go smoothly from here I really do. I dont think my heart can take much more of this drama.
Kiyoko looked around the kitchen, trying to think of something simple that she can make and eat afterwards. Hm I dont really know what I want the young girl admitted out loud. Um First, lets see what we have, before we make any decisions Opening the fridge, she looked into its gaping mouth...only to find that there wasnt much there. We should go grocery shopping tomorrow she murmured, shaking her head while laughing. There is barely anything in here Of course, we mostly order take-out of some kind so no wonder
Bending down, Kiyoko gazed over the individual items, thinking...and all the while, not realizing that in doing this, she was showing off her shapely butt. We have pasta noodles...bacon, mushrooms I think...Ill just make us a little pasta carbonara That okay with you? Unlike him, she was actually quite gifted in the kitchen...she just didnt cook often. It wont take but...ten, fifteen minutes to cook...and its tasty. I think youll love it. Her hand reached into the depths of the fridge, taking out the mushrooms, the bacon, some parmesan cheese and butter. Can you wait, the pots are a little bit too far away for your reach Give me a second, Ill put these on the counter...then well get the pot.
human
Shen nodded as she started to move around the kitchen taking notes on what she did, and doing as she asked, waiting till she moved so he could grab the pot and hand it back to her, the bracelet made sure that the two had to work together, almost in complete harmony just to get something as simple as cooking done. The short distance meant he was never more then a foot from his sister, and they had to be cautious less one of them be burned, or his sister take on too much weight and fall over thanks to her wounds. "It's a shame everything around here closes after nine, I really could have gone with some order in ginger fried beef." He said with a slight sigh lamenting the lack of late night 24 hour Chinese restaurants that existed.
It was honestly more then a little exhausting going through something as simple as the prep work of just making food. What added to that awkward fact was that his sisters ass shook in the air when ever she bent down to pick something up. It was almost entrancing in the way he watched her, and it added an additional layer of awkward shame to his mind, and so he tried his best to simply push it to the side. She would probably hate me for feeling like this, it's too weird. Shen thought darkly. Looking over the pantry there was a general lack of foods. He scoffed slightly though at the idea, "Go shopping with what money? we lost the last mission, were still broke." There was always taking out some kind of loan from the school, but that was dangerous, they weren't exactly in high academic standing, and it could fudge there budget for the next mission since they didn't know when that would be.
Shen helped where he could being careful to just stay out of his sisters way when she knew what she was doing. The last thing he needed was getting poked with something sharp because he got to close to Kiyoko when he shouldn't have. All in all though the smells were delicious. Maybe it was the fact he hadn't eaten in the past day same as his sister, but he was slowly realizing just how hungry he actually was, and his mouth watered slightly. "Why don't you cook more often?" He asked lightly, they mostly had take out, and he was no good in the kitchen, and in truth Shen was kind of surprised that she knew how to cook, where did she learn all of that?
"Heck who taught you?" He asked lightly, wondering where she picked up the all important skill. He felt a pang of jealousy at her skill. Shen could hardly do anything without burning down the house, and yet here Kiyoko was not just cooking, but making it smell rather nice, and look rather easy. At least if we lost their jobs at the school, they wouldn't starve apparently. Another dark thought scrolling through his mind as he looked at his sister shaking it off as he waited for the food to finish cooking.
gpt
Kiyoko set everything out on the counter, and moved so he could grab a pot. Thank you, she told him with a smile. Because of the bracelets, the two had to work together, just to make a meal one person could. It is...but to be honest, Im happy for the opportunity to cook. I mean...I would love a bento box right about now...yet I never cook, since we are rarely home That, and we seem to lack money pretty often. After pouring the mostaccioli noodles into the pot, setting it on high...she pulled out a skillet and placed it on the stove. I heard that cooking at home saves money...not to mention its healthier. Bacon sizzling in the pan, she began chopping the mushrooms with fast precision. There was a small smile on her face...not exactly a full-blown smile, however...it was enough of one to where...it was just delicate, and fragile.
I know, we lost our last mission...and were still broke but we have to do something. We need to eat in order to survive, so...I dont know, maybe I can start babysitting, or ask around for something, while we are stuck together like this Kiyoko removed the cooked bacon off the skillet, only to drop the mushrooms into the drippings left over. Once the mushrooms were browned, she placed them on paper towels, and drained the skillet. Butter, cream, parsley, garlic, pepper sauce, and salt was added to the skillet...sizzling while she set the heat on low. It felt good to cook again, after so long of just ordering take-out from numerous fast food restaurants. It was almost...calming, doing this Maybe it was because of all the stress of the day, but still..she wished she could cook more often. A long, wooden spoon was taken out of a drawer, slowly stirring the mess until the butter was melted. The next step was easy.
Kiyoko gave a soft laugh when he asked why she didnt cook more often. The same reason we dont buy many groceries, the young girl told him, already working on draining the pasta of water. Besides...it almost seemed easier, just to order take-out...I never wanted to start arguments about what to eat...so, I went along with it most of the time I also knew felt like cooking, because of everything we do. Its a few reasons why I dont cook, I guess. Giving a shrug, the pasta noodles were added to the cream mixture...and the bacon, mushrooms and cheese were added. Dont worry It wont be much longer before its done Id ask you to set the table, but I know you cant so hey, I have an idea. Why dont we just eat out in the living room? We can watch a little TV while we eat.
Who taught me? Kiyoko laughed, this time louder than before. Are you kidding? With our parents gone most of the time, do you really think I could have learned from either one? Besides, Mom was a terrible cook...and Dad wasnt all that much better. No, I learned by cook shows...by, you know...watching the cooks do it. At first I thought it cooked fun but then I decided to give it a try, and well here you go. I dont know everything, but I do love eating, so I thought itd be best if I learn how to cook first. Okay...done! With a big smile on her face, she showed him the creation...which smelled amazing. Ready to eat?
human
Shen should have guessed that Kiyoko was self taught. The realization however was a bitter pill to swallow as she not only mentioned their parents, but had also managed to make actual edible food. He felt a large amount of envy as he had tried his hardest to learn from cook books, and tried to follow recipes yet always ended up destroying something with every attempt while she seemed to know her way around the kitchen far better then he ever could have. It was difficult to take that his sister had so much talent.
Sitting down at the table he did have a new respect for his sister, but it was also a fading respect. One that went back into his jealous ways, and made him envious of her skill. She had never been too bright, and in all honesty it would some times be easier if his sister was the burden that she always thought she was. Moments like these however where her abilities out shined his own were difficult for Shen to take. He was snapped out of his thought however when his sister said told him that it was ready to eat, and he gave a loud 'mm' sound as he nodded his head. The smell lightning his mood and spirits, he was sure he would feel better when he had some food in him.
It felt like it had been forever since Shen had actually eaten anything. "itadakimasu." He said lightly raising his plate as he started to eat. He let out a very loud sigh of pleasure for a moment. "Okay screw take out, you just became my personal chief." He said lightly, any harsh feelings he had towards awarding her the position were immediately taken away by the quality of the food. He couldn't stand that it tasted this good, and he wanted more at the same time. However he tried his best to hold himself back from eating too much or too quickly. No matter how hungry he was he had to retain some level of manners, and more importantly he had to refrain from choking to death.
He paused lightly for a moment. Looking at his sister, an odd thought passing his mind. "I don't mind this." He said finally. It was odd putting down his utensils for a moment, but it was the honest truth. "These bracelets, and the closeness. It just hit my mind, but I don't really think I will mind this punishment all that much." Oh in the long run he probably would. Considering how they usually acted towards one another she was bound to annoy him some how, but in the moment? "Either that or this food is really just that good. I didn't even realize I was so hungry."
gpt
Itadakimasu. Kyoko bent her head, blessing the food before taking a bite. Immediately, a big smile spread across her face...followed by a sigh of pleasure. I guess I missed home-cooking more than I thought This tastes delicious, she said with a laugh, her tone in no way bragging as she dug in. When she heard his comment about how she just became his personal chef...she couldnt help but laugh again. I can cook for you whenever you like We just need to get better on the field...so that we can buy the ingredients we need for my masterpieces!
Kiyoko glanced up whenever he paused, directing his attention onto her. Their eyes met, brown clashing with violet, almost sending an electric current through their bodies. I dont mind this, he said finally. Her body went numb from shock, her heart skipping a beat inside her rib cage. Because of their shared past...she could tell he wasnt lying either, and was telling the honest truth. These bracelets, and the closeness. It just hit my mind, but I dont really think I will mind this punishment all that much. Her face heating up...surely turning a dark shade of pink or red, she ducked her head down, playing with her food. M-Maybe the food really is just that good You know well get on each others nerves sooner or later she pointed out.
A-Anyway...Do you think my bed will work, at least for now? I dont know if it will, but when we were laying down together, it seemed to be big enough Kiyokos fingers continued making her fork dance left...and then right, picking up pieces of pasta and mushroom. I just hope I dont fall on top of him again...that was rather embarrassing and really confusing. I cant believe I actually liked it...when he held me close, and I was naked Dark pink making its way across her cheeks at the thought, she kept her head down, so that he couldnt see the blush. I wonder...how he felt...when that happened I mean...I know I saw...that...but he could get that reaction from any girl, couldnt he? So...that doesnt mean anything...
Once she ate her last bite, Kiyoko stood up, gathering their dirty dishes together. Eat as much as you want Theres plenty left. Or...we can have it again tomorrow, for lunch or for dinner either way. Um Are you done? If not, you can come with me while I put these in the sink I can make you another plate Her violet eyes rose to meet his, an awkward smile spreading across her face. Your comment...made me happy she breathed. Cause I really like to cook, and...I want us to get along better I dont think this punishment is going to be too bad either
human
It didn't matter how low Kiyoko ducked she would never really be able to hide that deep shade of red from Shen's eyes. He couldn't tell why his sister was so embarrassed he had simply complemented her, and then proceeded to say that their punishments wouldn't be all that bad. In truth he was actually starting to understand a bit more about his sister. Though why she was currently blushing the way she was, was just beyond him. This wasn't exactly a good time for either of them to be falling i'll and he for a moment he thought that could have been it, that her redness was simply some fever coming onto her, but reality quickly gave Shen a kick in the ass to kick start his mind.
She's embarrassed? was it because I touched her earlier? does she think that I am going to use this punishment as some kind of excuse to.... His thoughts quickly ran into a very dark situation that he really hoped wasn't the case. The last thing he wanted was his sister to fear anything like that from him, and yet.... he had already shown that he was willing to molest her. He had groped her when he had changed her clothing, and while he had never said anything about it he was sure that his sister had noticed his problem. Shaking his head for a moment he came crashing down to reality quickly enough when his sister spoke.
"Oh I'm done." he said showing off a plate that he had clearly finished eating off of. "I think it would be best if we saved the rest for tomorrow we have a microwave, and we have little to no groceries so left overs will kind of be the life savor for us." He said lightly getting up and then pushing his sister out of the way when he got to the sink. Running the water he started to clean the dieshes taking his sisters spot. "You cooked for me, the least I can do is clean up for you." He said lightly as he went through the pot they used, and cleaned up the dinner the two had shared.
"Your bed is fine, i mean the couch is too small for us both to lay down on, and if we used my bed, we would end up pressed into each other all night long. At least this way as long as you don't toss and turn in your sleep we will be fine." He said as he dried off the dishes and gave a loud yawn. "Come on lets brush our teeth, and get to bed." he said lightly moving towards the washroom but making sure that she was close behind him. Three feet still seemed like a very small amount of distance. "by the way you don't... snore do you?"
gpt
Kiyoko reached out for his empty plate, their fingertips brushing for just a fraction of a second. I think youre right The rest we can have for tomorrow, and hopefully, I can make dinner from...well, whatever is left in the fridge. Maybe we should...see if any of our friends are willing to have us over for dinner After all...its been a while since weve had any time to just...relax, see our friends do that sort of thing And if one of our friends is cooking, well...that would make things a little bit easier on us, when it comes to dinner A soft laugh left the girls lips, painting the silence with its musical quality. Strands of orange fell against her cheek, giving her a rather innocent...yet sexy look, however...it wasnt long before she brushed the strands away, out of her eyes and behind an ear.
Oh, uh You dont have to clean up Kiyoko protested, stumbling against the counter after the push. Her lips curved into a faint smile when he didnt answer, and she laughed softly, shaking her head. Fine You wash the dishes, but...tomorrow, Ill pay you back, okay? Whatever you want...Ill do for you. Luckily only a few dishes were dirtied in the making of dinner, so it didnt take long at all to clean everything. Youre right The couch is too small for us to sleep together, without my being on top of you And in your bed, well be breathing on each other I guess my bed will have to do...at least for now. After giving a little shrug, she began following him to the bathroom.
Luckily it was just down the hallway, else shed have more trouble, what with her injuries and all. Kiyoko hated having to depend on others for something as simple as walking...but if she had to, she would. Her hand trailing down the wall, her violet eyes studied her brothers back for a long moment...not sure what to think. An obstacle has been overcome somewhere one barring their relationship from turning into a good one...but there was several more down the road, and who knows they may stumble over one or two making that journey more perilous...but it would be worth it. At least...in her mind, it would be. After all...it was rather...nice, to have her brother back.
After wetting her toothbrush, and applying paste, Kiyoko tucked it into the corner of her mouth. "Oh... As far as I know, I don't snore My friends always said that I was a very quiet sleeper, so...I would assume that I dont snore. Brushing her teeth now, she made sure to brush every single one she could reach, before spitting out the toothpaste and saliva mixture in her mouth. Violet eyes glanced in his direction, yet quickly darted away after a moment. R-Ready to go...to bed? she asked, blushing a light pink across her nose...not to mention the tops of her cheeks.
human
Shen let out a small sigh at the idea of seeing their friends. It wasn't that he didn't have them, there was a few people in town who he actually liked to spend time with, but with these restraints on, and the fact that he couldn't move more then three feet away from his sister it would be far too embarrassing to go to their friends house's or even have company over in their already rather small apartment. One wrong move and there would either be a lot of questions, or a lot of pain. Not to mention Shen, and Kiyoko traveled in wildly different social circles. "I don't think you would really like any of my friends." He said lightly, but there was a second reason he had kept his friends away from his sister for so long.
However selfish it was he didn't want to accidentally introduce his sister to some kind of potential boyfriend. He had always thought of it as just being protective of his sister, as he knew how a boys mind worked at their age. However considering how easily Shen had been able to molest his sister and silently justify it to himself mere moments ago he was starting to think that protection wasn't the only reason he was standoffish when ever his sister came up in conversation around his friends. He had never been outwardly threatening towards any of the other boys in her life, or so he had thought, but when ever a boy had talked to him about it there was a stern edge to him. Maybe he was a bit more protective of her then he should be. Maybe there was a larger problem he needed to deal with.
"Bed sounds good." He said lightly as the two of them finished brushing their teeth, he winced slightly as he saw that she wet her tooth bruth before using it. That always seemed like an odd habbit to him, as he simply applied the toothpaste and went at it. after which point he flossed and even used some strong alcoholic mouth wash which he made sure to offer Kiyoko. It was the best to make sure one killed all the germs after all. Walking with her back to the room he was still surprised to see just how not girly the room was. Oh sure there were stuffed animals all over the bed, but aside from that he hardly believed that his sister lived in such a room. It didn't nearly have any of the mess he had always imagined. and while he was kind of proud of his sister for proving him wrong for once, he was also very disappointed by it.
Crawling into bed he waited for his sister to join him. Giving a small sigh he did his best to try and make himself comfortable. It took a while though the bed was a queen sized bed, which should have given them plenty of space between them for some reason or maybe it was because of the pile of stuffed animals He found himself being pressed closer to Kiyoko then she probably would have cared for or liked. It was hard to breath without getting a mouthful of her hair or his nose filled with her scent. If she were another woman the closeness wouldn't have mattered, but in reality this was his sister right? So why was it that just having her so close to him was causing his heart to race. How was he supposed to sleep with his sister pressed against his body?
gpt
Mm...Youre probably right. I mean, I dont think you would really like any of my friends, either. Kiyoko didnt mean anything...well, mean, about it, but it was true. However despite all her reasoning, and her rational musings...one part of her didnt want to introduce her brother to Hana and Izumi...to Euiko and to Tai...because...she really...really didnt want to introduce him to a potential girlfriend. It was selfish, it was stupid, and she didnt understand why...yet that was the truth. Just the thought of him being introduced to a girl, and them hitting it off right away...was making her heart twist uncomfortably inside her chest, not to mention her stomach drop straight down to her toes. So...she wont introduce Shen to any of the girls...not now, and maybe not ever. Who knows?
Kiyoko accepted the mouthwash offered, although she never did like the strong alcoholic taste. Yet...after such a long, stressful day, it was rather tempting to drink a glass of real alcohol. Once that was said and done, she followed her brother out of the bathroom and back to her room, a hand on his shoulder to keep her from stumbling. Her violet eyes went from her personal quarters to the young man by her side...heart slamming against her rib cage and even skipping one...two beats. No...No, no, no...no, stop that this instant Do you hear me? she told the silly organ that was her heart, coughing to clear her throat. Bed does sound good she agreed, letting out a quiet sigh. After he climbed onto the bed first, she went after him, a yawn parting her lovely pink lips...those sinfully tempting pink lips, which many boys long to kiss.
Laying down in the mountain of pillows, it was right then that Kiyoko noticed how close they were...and how much -or rather, how little- wiggle room there was. Those violet eyes grew big, her heart slamming against her rib cage as irrational ideas...ideas that she shouldnt even think about, bounced around inside her skull. Of course, it didnt help he practically groped her earlier, when she fell on top of him Her cheeks taking on a pretty pink blush from where all her thoughts were heading, she nestled down into her pillows, wishing that she could just sink down and disappear. However...that could never happen, unfortunately. Their hands grazed...as did their chests, when she tried to shift and get more comfortable. I really, really need to stop thinking this way Shen isnt interested in me, there is no way he will ever be interested in me and besides, he is my brother! Its forbidden, its taboo And yet, despite all that...she wanted him to be interested...she wanted something to happen between them.
Kiyoko peeked up at him through a veil of hair, blinking those big violet eyes. Why is my bed so small? Usually, it feels huge whenever Im sleeping in it Well, I usually sleep in it alone Biting her lip now, the young girl shifted yet again, her breasts accidentally pressing into his chest for a brief moment. I...I hope you get a goodnights sleep she told him, her voice quiet...and yet, there was a subtle implication underneath the words, giving an indication of how she felt. Her leg brushed against his, the smooth appendage capable of bringing shivers to a persons spine. Ill...try and not roll over you, or anything like that
human
Shen took a deep breath of his sisters hare. There was an odd moment as she said that would try not to roll over him. It was an odd thing to hear from his sister but odder still was the problem that he realized that he wouldn't mind that. What would have been worse, and the thought that actually made him giggle a little was what would happen if Kiyoko happened to roll off of the bed. If that were to happen they would both be in for a rather rude awakening. Pausing he looked at his little sister a slight amount of worry in his mind.
"There really isn't enough room on this bed for the both of us, and if one of us should happen to fall off of the bed during the night then we would end up being hit with the shock collar." He paused trying to walk his logic through to a solution to this problem. The only one he was finding was that his arm draped over his sisters body wrapping around her and pulling her closer against his own body. feeling the warmth of her as he pressed her harder against him. At the same time though he couldn't help but blush as he was already feeling wierd from the way that their legs were slowly intertwining, and the fact that her chest was slowly pressing against his.
Closing his eyes Shen let out a long hot breath against his siters body, and then noticed the bigger problem with all of this. The heat caused by being so close to her body, taking in so much of her sent and feeling her breath on his skin. Already there was a warmth that screamed take off his clothing, but now it was nearly impossible to hide the fact that every little motion his sister made was making him aroused. Shen writhed for a moment trying to ignore the fact that the covers were so thick and he was so close to his sister but couldn't.
After a few more moments of the silent agony. Shen tossed the covers from the bed. "Too hot." he said lightly Even though discarding the bedding left his lower half exposed. The light matarial of his pajamas did nothing to really hide the fact that his body one way or another had become completely aroused thanks to his sisters motions. At least now the air isn't so stuffy and the breeze will cool me down. He thought lightly. Looking over his sister for a moment a second more darker thought crossed his mind. The view is also a little better here then i would have thought.

Kiyoko couldnt believe this was happening, punishment or not. Normally, it felt as though her brother wanted absolute nothing to do with her much less be in the same room unless it was absolutely necessary...and yet here they are, sleeping in the same bed together. Um I have to agree There really isnt enough room on this bed for both of us and if one of us falls off the bed, well both end up being hit with the shock collar A light pink blush spreading across her pale cheeks, the meister tried not to imagine the situation...where she ended up on top of him, or him on her.
I need to stop thinking about what happened earlier...or else, hes going to realize, and make fun of me Kiyoko bit her lip, her heart slamming a little harder against the cage of bone protecting it. Right then, his arm draped over her body, wrapping around her and pulling her close against his own body. A soft gasp hitched in her throat. What...What is he doing?! she thought, wrapping an arm around him when she was pressed harder against him. Their legs slowly intertwined her chest pressing into his, and without a single inch of space between their bodies. A long, hot breath was let out, its heat warming her already-hot cheeks. Her giant t-shirt rode up a little when she shifted against him, exposing quite a bit of slender leg, as well as the edge of her panties.
The heat was getting to be much, though. It was making her body heat up in ways Kiyoko has never felt before...and it was also making her want to peel off the t-shirt, and just sleep in her panties. Every once in a while, shed do that...but when alone...and normally during winter. Her violet eyes opened to watch Shen for a moment, noticing him twisting this way and that in order to get comfortable. After a few more moments, though, he tossed the covers from the bed. Too hot, he said lightly, giving her a faint smile. It did feel good, the sheets being off, though.
Its okay I was getting hot, too, Kiyoko admitted, arching her back in a stretch. Of course, this caused her breasts to press into his chest...hard...not to mention her hips against his. Once she was done with that, she relaxed. Youre pretty warm, though she murmured, snuggling up to him when she realized that fact. The shoulder of her giant t-shirt fell off one shoulder, exposing all that creamy skin. Even the curve of a breast could be seen, though not as clearly as earlier. A soft yawn parted her lips. I hope...you get a good nights sleep she told him, her voice husky and a little deep...though still sexy despite all that. I will...see you in the morning

Shen could not help but let his eyes wander along his sisters body feeling an odd tension in the moment that his sisters breasts pressed against his skin. He swallowed as she told him good night, but at the same time he was now looking at the bare exposed legs of his sister as they intertwined with his own. There was a twisted sense of curiosity that was difficult to read past, and at the same time almost controlling. He wanted to see more of her, as he already had, in fact he wanted to see all that Kiyoko had to bare.
Quickly as he could Shen tried to pull his mind out of the gutter and into the world of sleep closing his eyes and focusing on his breath. If ever there was a time for meditation and not contemplation it was now. Relaxing his body as he tried his best to sleep only to feel his arm slide slightly when it pressed on his sisters shirt and tugged at the fabric. Since he had to lay on his side the arm underneath him was slowly going to sleep and sure enough a numbness was creeping up along it. Trying to adjust h leaned up for a moment, and it was in that moment that he fell off the bed, and took his sister with him.
His body pushed her physically, and his arm snagged along with the help of gravity which brought them both crashing out of the bed, and onto the floor. With Shen placed on top of his sister. Getting up for a moment his arms were planted on ether side of her face, and their waists touching which meant that his cock pressed on her body through his panties showing her that he was in fact very hard. "Sorry!" He said with small squeak to his voice. He was both embarrassed and at the same time struggling with all the problems they were facing just trying to sleep together.
Then again the ground had been made rather soft because of the blankets and sheets he had thrown onto the ground earlier and suddenly a new thought dawned on him. Leaning off of his sister he reached up and grabbed the pillows. "Lets sleep on the floor, it may not be as comfortable, but at least we can try to have some personal space." He said still worrying about drifting too far apart and activating the shock collars by accident.

Heat ran its invisible fingers along flushed skin...making the girl all too aware of the gaze wandering over it. Kiyoko found herself...rather enjoying the fact that he was looking, and blushed a light pink once she realized. Their legs intertwining further...almost to the point where she couldn't tell where her legs began, and where his ended. One eye opened, darkness casting shadows onto the violet pool, and making it look darker... almost luminous. There was a light pink blush spreading across the girl's cheeks, over her nose... and even down the curve of her neck, yet of course, he couldn't see it for himself.
Before Kiyoko could meet his gaze, however, his brown eyes drifted shut as he tried to find sleep. The hazy pleasure of being studied...of the possibilities lurking past that invisible line changed into a different sort, and the girls lips curved into a rather tender smile. With another yawn, she snuggled up to Shens broad, slightly firm chest, getting comfortable for the night ahead. It wasnt long, though, when he began to lean up...which forced the siblings off the bed, and onto the floor...luckily, with the sheets providing a comfy landing. A surprised gasp left her lips, violet eyes flying open right before impact. Her eyes squeezed tightly shut shortly after.
Kiyoko hesitantly opened one eye...and then the other, only for the pair to widen. Her brothers hands were planted on either side of her head...their waists pressing rather intimately, to the point where she could feel...something hard, and throbbing through her panties. Sorry! Shen said with a small squeak, and quickly leaned off. Another blush replaced the first, this time painting her cheeks a becoming shade of red.I cant believe that happenedshe thought, resisting the urge to cover her face. Strands of orange framed the girls features, bringing out the violet color of her eyes...not to mention the color she was sporting on her cheeks.
S-Sleep on the floor? Um, yeah thats a good idea Kiyoko bit her lip, making the pink flesh darken to red as she sat up. We wouldnt have to worry about rolling off the bed Now leaning forward, one hand came down to support her, while the other reached for the blankets strewn next to him. What she didnt know, however...was how close her hand was to a certain male anatomy. Her shapely form strained against the shirt she had on, her panties peeking out from underneath the hem as she leaned further still.

Shen let out a small sigh as he laid on the ground at least now they had a chance to actually sleep normally. He swallowed slightly as he still felt a little nervous about how close he had gotten to his sister, and the fact that she had even felt is hard cock. Wanting to put it out of his mind, but with the small fact that he really couldn't he considered just turning away from her and trying his best to go to sleep. However his eyes were once again drawn to his sisters body. At this point he was a little beyond caring that it was all wrong and starting to realize that he was having lustful thoughts about Kiyoko.
What didn't help those thoughts was the fact that his sister wasn't wearing any kind of pants, but rather only had on her panties and night shirt. Looking down across her legs he could still see her panties and part of him was tempted to touch her. Just to see what the reaction would be, and to answer a question that was linguring on his mind. Was Kiyoko wet? It hadn't felt like it in the seconds that his underwear had pressed agianst her panties and it wasn't exactly something he could just come out and ask her.
~It's also really sick that I would even consider that, she hates me remember? Why would she get wet over realizing that her brother and weapon is some kind of sick pervert who is currently staring at her panties.~ It was a dark thought but it was also how he was starting to feel about this entire living situation. He wasn't even sure if she could say the same about his kind of feelings. They were awkward, and he shook it off trying his best to put things out of his mind he rolled over and in starting the one motion that was origonally meant to get him away from his sister and away from these odd thoughts he was having he ended up putting his cock right in his sisters hand.
The buldge of his underwear pressed hard against his sisters hand for a moment allowing her to get the impression of his cock from it's size to it's thickness and all while it was rock hard, and hardly held back by Shen's underwear. His eyes widened and he realized what was happening, an odd sense fear crossed through him. As for a moment he shifted backwards. Quickly pulling back from his sisters hand. His face couldn't turn a brighter shade of crimson from how awkward this night had already become. "I need to use the bathroom." He bit the bottom of his lip as he got up slightly. It was very clear he wasn't going to sleep until this problem was dealt with... and he couldn't deal with it while his sister was here. He needed a room where he could at least have a little privacy. "I uh... have something I need to take care of that's preventing me from sleeping."

"Mm...?" Kiyoko's dark, sleepy violet eyes fell to where her hand laid, curiosity filling the depths while she considered what was laying underneath the palm. It took the girl a few seconds...and once she realized just what she was touching...her hand moved away at the same time he pulled back. Red began making its leisurely way across her cheeks...which brought out her eyes, and the creamy skin untouched by the color. Of course...whatever wasn't painted didn't stay that way for very long.I...I can't believe I did that...and... and it's...hard...Blushing ever darker, it was a minute or so before she processed his words, and gave a jerky nod in response.
With that nod, her night shirt dipped...revealing inches of cleavage, and a puckering nipple. It was a nice, rosy pink...and as it grew harder, the areola darkened around the bud. Threads of orange came tumbling over her shoulder, almost concealing her breast from view. From what Kiyoko could tell...her brother's... thing was of decent size, and its...its thickness was probably just big enough for her hand to wrap around. Not that she was thinking about it, of course. Her cheeks still red...she found that...her body was a little bit hotter than normal...and that there was a strange moisture forming between her legs. Earlier, she noticed the latter...but she didn't pay it much mind before now.
Kiyoko cleared her throat rather awkwardly. "Ah... Um, okay... I just wish you could have gone, you know... before I had made myself comfy..." With a wide, though cute, yawn, she began shuffling back until she was sitting on her calves. The large shirt revealed quite a bit of leg...and when she lifted her arms high to stretch, her breasts strained across the fabric, almost every curve...every little detail, outlined. "You gotta do what you gotta do, though..." she murmured, albeit a little sleepily. Her voice was thick, even husky, the sort of tone one would normally associate with sex. Her dark violet eyes blinked, going over to her brother and just...studying him for a moment. "I don't know if the chain is long enough..." One hand lifted, playing with a few strands of hair.
"We were talking about...one of us using the bathroom, while the other stands outside the door...but... I don't know if the chain is long enough for that..." Kiyoko leaned forward, both hands supporting her while she thought it over. The shirt fell yet again...this time, revealing her cleavage, and almost both breasts. Her nipples were still hard, however...he could see the size of the lush pair more distinctly, due to her position. "I mean... the chain doesn't seem to be very long... If we are having to be where...we can't sleep in a queen-sized bed together, or else risk being shocked... I don't exactly see...how my standing outside is going to... you know, work." Not quite sure if she was getting her point across, she pouted, hair framing the girl's lovely features, and bringing out the color of her eyes. "Please tell me you understand what I'm saying..." she pleaded, her eyes locked on his.

Shen blinked hearing exactly what Kiyoko was saying and she was right he couldn't sneak away to the bathroom to take care of his problem because she would have to be in the bathroom with him. Either way it would be uncomfortable, but his body was at that point now where he was so far close to needing that it was starting to simply not matter.and her clothing really isn't helping my situation.He swallowed trying to survive the awkward situation that he was now involved in, and for once he wasn't really seeing a way out.
As he looked at her a shade of red came over his face as well as he looked at her chest. Her shirt was slipping away with each passing moment and there just wasn't a lot he could do about it. His eyes twitched as he looked at the amount of clevage she was showing and for a moment he thought something a little dark and twisted.She is just tormenting you. She knows your horny as hell, hates you, and is using her body as a weapon against you.He closed his eyes trying to think back to when the collars had been put on them. It had been a very close amount like 3 feet, but that should have let them use something like a queen bed, the main problem was that all they had were single beds.
"No your right you would have to be inside the room which means you would see it anyways." He admitted in embarrassment. There was also now nothing they could do in terms of taking a shower which elinated the idea of a cold shower to kill his thoughts. His eys gazed down at her legs, and then back to her partly exposed see. He wasn't going to get any sleep like this, and finally he just let out a long sigh. "I don't need to use the washroom." He admitted though short on words. He couldn't really return her gaze at that moment. "The fact is... I'm well."I can't admit it, I can't tell her that seeing her like this is driving me insane she will, no she probably already hates me.
"Okay here's the thing. My body is going crazy, and I need to release this tension or else I'm not gonna sleep. I gotta do what I have to do... and that means I need too..." His voice cracked and failed him, as he looked at the ground. He wasn't going to get through this night. There was no way he was going to do it. Yet even now he was thinking about how nice it would be for his sister to lend her hand or mouth to aid him in this situation. When he finally came forward with the truth he sighed. "Just please tell me you understand what I have to do."Cause if you don't then I really don't know how I am going to live with myself any time soon.

Kiyoko felt his gaze move down...and a rush of heat burned through her body, throughout every vein...only to stop right between her legs. It lingered along her cheeks as well...but that didn't seem to matter nearly as much. Her wide, violet eyes met his...noticing the dark shade of red on his face. It was impossible not to notice the tension in the air...for it was heavy, almost like a familiar blanket...and yet, foreign, too... for it was an entirely new experience altogether. A lump forming in her throat, she quickly cleared it, and tried not to think about how it felt, having his brown eyes drink in whatever bare skin her body has to offer. It was weird enough, that she liked the fact that he was looking...
I wonder what Shen's thinking...Kiyoko tilted her head rather cutely when he finally spoke up, embarrassment coloring his tone. A few strands of orange fell against her cheek, bringing out the dark red color on the skin there. More heat was added to the fire as his eyes fell onto her legs, and then lifted back up to her breasts. After a long, tense moment...he let out a sigh, avoiding her gaze. The admission wasn't really a surprise to the girl... but how to respond, she wasn't quite sure. "Ah... I'm...I'm glad you're well..." she started, laying a finger on her chin. "My question is...what tension is it you have to release? I mean... I don't know about this sort of thing... If your muscles ache, and you can't use a shower because of me... I can try and give you a massage..."
A little, hesitant smile making its way across Kiyokos features, her violet eyes lifting to meet his after a minute or so. Im not saying you have to say yes or anything...but I must say, I give really good massages Here, let me show you. Shifting forward, Kiyoko was unaware of her shirt dipping down further...making it where he could see just about everything. Her rosy nipples hardened from air caressing the pair...her breasts giving a little jiggle while she moved forward. The floral scent of the girls shampoo wafted through the air...perfuming it...and making it to where every breath was like inhaling flowers. Her hands going out to his shoulders, she gave a gentle squeeze, mostly to gauge his reaction. When Shen didnt seem to protest...that was all the encouragement she needed.
Now...Just close your eyes, and relax, Kiyoko murmured...the words brushing past his cheek, while she bent down in front of him. You have to, in order to enjoy the massage I just hope that itll help release the tension in your body After looking into her brothers eyes for a moment, Kiyoko let her thumbs rest on either side of his neck, slowly rubbing the tension muscles there. It sent a jolt of pain throughout her shoulder, doing so...but she ignored it, since it wasnt too bad. Her heart racing for no reason at all...a deep breath helped calm her nerves, and with a small smile, she started gently rubbing the muscles going down until her palms were resting on his shoulders. I can use oil, if you want she asked, not sure if she should get it or not. Its old, but Im sure its still good
