Hikari pets the top of her sisters head
Hikari: Heheee~ There there!~ Shiko slowly lets her go, sits up straight on her bed and yawns shortly
Shiko: What... time did you say it is...? She says hesitantly, looking at Hikari. Hikari giggles.
Hikari: Twelve!~ Or at least that's what father said!~ she ruffles her hair and giggles. Shiko puts her hand on her chest as her heartbeat slowly calms down
Shiko: Mother must have been furious... she says kinda silently, Hikari smiles and shakes her head no
Hikari: I calmed her down for you Shiko-Nee!~ she giggles
She saw how exited I was for Kuro-San to come!~ So she messaged him!!! He's gonna come early at 15:00! She jumps a bit from excitement
Mother told me so!~ she says with a bright smile. Shiko smiles at her innocent little sister and pets her head
Shiko: Thank you Hikari-Chan... now I think it's best you leave. We wanna have hours remaining to spend together when Kuro is here She says with a blue smile. Hikari nods and rushes out of the room.
The room falls silent as Shiko takes a deep breath. She gets up slowly and looks at the mirror. She slowly touches her reflection and takes a deep breath.
Shiko: "What a Terrifying Dream that was...." She takes her hand away and looks at herself
"I wonder what those shadow figures were.... what they reprisented..." a few seconds pass. Shiko roughly ruffles her own hair.
Aghh!!! Why am I having these deep dreams!!! What am I; a witch!? Why am I even remembering my dreams so clearly!?! She face palms and looks towards her phone. She opens it and sees a new message from Kuro.
Kuro: "Sorry for sudden change of plans. Looks like Imma be early"
"(☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎"
Shiko looks at the message and smiles. She texts back.
Shiko: "Sorry if you're getting stuck on work because of this..." she doesn't get any messages for a few minutes so she writes again
"I slept in apparently... I'm gonna go out to shop for some clothes that I can actually wear to school. I'll be home before you arrive so see you then!^^' "
Kuro: "See ya.. :)"
Shiko sighs and closes her phone, very quickly gets ready and rushes downstairs. Lisa and Laurance are drinking tea in the living room as Hikari draws something on a paper on the table. Shiko gets in front of the living room area and bows a little of respect.
Shiko: I... I sincerely apologize for sleeping in mother.... father.... she doesn't lift her head for a bit. Finally her mother sighs
Lisa: Lift up your head. It will not happen again. She says seriously and looks away from Shiko's direction, sipping her tea. Shiko silently lifts her head.
Such a bad influence on Hikari... you should be ashamed... she says silently and looks back at Shiko
Where are you going?. Shiko gulps
Shiko: S-Shopping, Mother... As I've informed you before..; my clothes at school are mostly ruined. I've got to get some new ones... she says while looking more towards the ground. Even though she's become more confident; she's never asked for such things of her parents. Lisa looks away.
Lisa: Do what you want. Be back before your guest arrives. She says and silently continues to sip her tea. Laurance slightly smiles at Shiko.
Laurance: Not going to eat anything? Shiko looks at her father
We put everything away of course but you still should find something to eat before going out. After all; if you passed out it would be quite troublesome. He says and silently sips his own cup of tea. Shiko feels her heart tighten as a blue feeling once again glosses over her. She takes a deep breath.
