shiningworld | 3rd Transmutation-Valentine's Day Event-Hugs and Cuddles

[Oh god why had she said that? She knows how jumpy he can be.]

You're not gonna die... You said a couple of weird things but otherwise you seem fine. It's probably just some kind of prank. I used to know a guy who did this kind of thing all the time.

In fact, I'm pretty sure he pulled this exact thing on me more than once. I'd blame him if I wasn't already sure he wasn't around.

It's probably just this with being a pain in the ass. that's a thing witches do, right?

[His head nods, but he clings tighter, almost as if he let her go, something terrible would happen.]

[She sighs and wraps her arm around his shoulders.]

It's gonna be fine, okay? Don't worry... Big sis is here,so nothing bad will happen. Like I said, it's probably just some prank, and the wosrt that'll come of it is me having to punch someone in the face.

...T-thank you--I LOVE YOU!

[...]

[If the heat of his face could burn things, they'd probably be on fire at that moment.]

... Heh...

'Course. Family loves each other. That's why we help each other out.

[She's trying her best to make this not so weird and awkward. She really is.]

[Oh good, thankfully she had made that much less awkward for him, because he wasn't sure how to explain that one without fainting first. However, he was suddenly compelled to hug his big sis tighter, but this time he smiled, feeling content. The hug got tighter with each passing second that it just might be a bit much for her.]

[This is fine for a few seconds but then it does get to be a little much. She has issues with compression.]

Eh.heh... Okay.. What do you say we get some real food into you? M-Maybe that'll help.

No-! You have to sit down and rest. I can eat later. Besides, I'm not sure if I should eat anything else right now. Sit down and I'll go get you something for any bruises you have.

[And he stays clung to her arm the entire time.]

Eh? ... I told you, I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all. Hell, I'd take more of a beating training back home.

That's why you need to rest! [tug, tug]

You don't need to worry. Nothing here is half as tough as some of the hollows I've fought.

I don't need to rest or recover. I'm fine. If I couldn't handle this, I wouldn't deserve my badge.

[Hollows sound dangerous, but he realized there were just some things that you couldn't talk someone out of. That, and it'd probably be against her pride as a Shiba to let every little injury stop her.]

Okay...

...I-I'm sorry, I just don't want you to go anywhere without me...if you go out again, I want to go too!

[Hell, she blew off her own arm. After that, other injuries doesn't seem like that big of a deal. She sighs and leans on the counter, tilting her head a bit.]

What's got you so protective all of a sudden? It's not like anything bad has happened.

[True. He couldn't think of anything that could be as painful as that.]

N-nothing! I just don't want you being by yourself today. [He's just full of concern, that's totally it! These aren't excuses to stay close to her at all.]

--SWEET PEA! [This had to end soon, right?]

[Okay she's going to ignore that last part and blame it on weird porch candy. She is pretty sure no one has ever called that, and she has been called some really weird pet names over the years.]

Oh.. Uhm... Okay, I guess. It's not like I really had other plans for the day.

[Why did he have to say that? His outbursts were going to make things weird when this was over, he just knew it.]

Eheh...ah, I-I'm sorry for that!

It's fine... Kisuke's called me much weirder things. And Soi Fon has called me much less pleasant ones. The things I put up with for Yoruichi's sake..

[Kukaku sighs and shakes her head.]

How cruel...

[He tilts his head to the side] Who's...Yoruichi?

[Kukaku laughs a bit.]

Nah... Soi Fon was a good girl. She just had a lot of jealousy issues. It was rough for a little while since I ended up having to take the brunt of her rage for a couple of years, but I don't really even see her anymore.

Yoruichi's an old friend. Her 'n Kisuke, another friend, took off a century ago. I don't know a whole lot behind it, but as far as I can tell, it's because Kisuke was being a damned idiot again and doing things he knew he shouldn't...

[She exhales, a little frustrated. She still loves the both of them, but she still hasn't quite gotten over it.]

Ohh...I'm sorry.

Is it--ADORE ME! [for crying out loud, this was just getting more and more ridiculous. Not to mention, it was totally off subject of what they were discussing.]

[Okay putting aside that she does adore him, in a fully platonic sibling sort of way, she just sort of shrugs it off.]

It's Kisuke's own damned fault for being a jackass. I always told him not to do anything stupid and he never listened.

Is it too late...to change what's happened?

[This time around, he bites down on his tongue, just a bit too hard that he winces, but at least it stops anything more from coming out...for now.]

From what I've heard, its far too late. And it's not like I have any way to change it. It's game over for me. But I think, if I understand right, that it all works out in the end. It turns out okay.

I mean, not for me, because I'm dead, but for everyone else.

[Hearing that nearly spirals him into another protest about the reality of her no longer living, outside of this place, but he holds back.]

I know...um, you already told me that you...[he shakes his head, he's no even gonna finish that]...but, as long as you're here with me and everyone else, you're just as much alive as the rest of us. That's...what I believe.

Technically, I'm not. I wasn't even before the... incident... But I suppose that's neither here nor there.

I don't understand it, but I'm doing my best to make this time mean something. I'm just not sure what yet.
