"...does this clockwork hand follow you... or guide you?"

Kyo couldn't help but wince a bit at that. The only person who could answer was her, huh. She, herself. The thing about that was, all of these worries were being thrown in Kyo's face by herself to begin with. It wasn't exactly a reassuring thought. "...Yeah. Guess so," Kyo said dully. It didn't help that the more time passed, the more visits she received from her Shadow, the less and less it seemed there was some obscured, twisted-up meaning behind her Shadow's words; that yellow-eyed apparition only seemed to dispense with symbolism completely over time, as if tiring of how slow Kyo was on the uptake, opting to spell things out in ever more literal terms instead--jack-hammering all of Kyo's flaws into her face. Except she couldn't really feel that way about Hiroko or Isoroku. Right? It's always about making me feel stronger, better. It always has been. Realizing it... it hurts. Kyo shut the thought away before it could go any further. It was bullshit, she thought; it was all bullshit. "Well," she said dully, looking back to Ayane again, "nothing t' be done about it now. And hell, this ain't supposed t'be about my stupid problems. Hey, are ya plannin' t'get a healer t' fix ya up once they letcha outta the hospital? Or--do too many people already know about this? Might hafta bite the bullet and deal for a while, huh..." |

WHERE THE FUCK IS MARIO

Ayane stopped for a moment. "In the end Kyo, even if you're a total bitch on the inside, you're still my little sister. Remember that. I don't care what you are on the inside, if you've been using me to feel better, to feel stronger. I don't care. What I care about is the time we've spent together. I've had friends, but this is the first time I've felt like I've had family. Since the incident." The Snakegirl shook her head. She had decided on her options when she had been admitted. "I'm going to let it heal normally. I made the mistake. I shouldn't be able to just erase my problems whenever I want. Sitting here in this bed taught me that... I live life too fast. I need to slow down and take notice of the little things." The girl nodded twice. "Its settled. But don't think because I haven't got my legs that I couldn't whup your ass up and down the training center without breaking a sweat. Your sensei hasn't lost a thing, aside from the ability to walk." She grinned. "And who needs that anyway? Wheels are so much better." She looked at her legs and winced. "...Its about time I learned a lesson, rather than keep running." |

Kyo opened her mouth to protest... then slowly shut it again. It wasn't her place to tell Ayane what she should and shouldn't do, how best to deal with her own problems, and... and honestly she was too touched by what Ayane had said--even if you're a total bitch on the inside, you're still my little sister. Hearing that made Kyo want to... ...It made her want to just support Ayane at whatever she needed support with, no matter what it was or why she was doing it. "If that's whatcha wanna do," said Kyo quietly. "Just lemme know if ya need help with anythin', yeah? I'll be there. And... thanks." The last word was quiet, appreciative. Kyo decided now was as good a time as any to start actually eating; didn't want the food to get cold, after all. I live life too fast. I need to slow down and take notice of the little things. Yeah, that was something that... that was something that Kyo was starting to learn, between her friends and her jobs and her... Shadow. Slow down. Chill out. Think. It wasn't as though Kyo were bad at it, but she'd rarely actively worked toward it before Nagashima. She hadn't even given a thought to her future before. Now, here she was... sharing an apartment with her boyfriend, thinking about university-- --once or twice while she was really drunk, she'd even entertained a few idle fantasies about starting a family! Ha. Her, a mother. And Hiroko a daddy! No wonder the idea only occurred under the influence of alcohol. |

"You're welcome. Anything to make you feel better. I know what its like to have a problem on the inside but be afraid to ask something of anyone, afraid you'll push them away." She waved with her hand and sighed. "I know that feeling all too well." There was a hint of something behind her smile, something she intended to show a glimpse of. Pain. "I'll be sure to ask your help at any time. I'm past trying to get things done by myself." As Kyo began to eat Ayane nodded as well, tucking into the sandwich she had brought. It was a damn sight more delicious than hospital food and the second edible thing she had all day. "You're not a bad sis, Ky-chan." She chuckled. "A little nosy, but I suppose the world needs all kinds of people." She gave a grin, before munching on some more sandwich. |
