Sister (ServampxOc)

Past and Present

"Nina! Can't you just listen for two seconds!" snarled Misono who was tapping his foot impatiently.

"Can't he just shut up and let me sleep?" I muttered rolling around on the couch in an attempt to find a comfortable sleeping position

"Why the hell are you tired? You've already been asleep for two days!" Misono snarled at me.

So what if I have been asleep for two days? It's not like I was being lazy. I was healing my wounds, some of which still had yet to be repaired, like my broken arm for example. I blinked a couple of times before looking up at him. To say he didn't look amused would have been an understatement. "Mhm, you were saying...?" I sighed loudly.

Misono scowled before continuing. "As 'I' was saying. Me and Lily managed to intercept one of Tsubaki's subclasses. We have reason to believe that he is targeting us, more so then usual. We need to stay on guard at all times. If you encounter any subclasses you need to contact us all." Misono turned and looked me straight in the eye, his expression alone said that I was in trouble. "And you, what did you think you were doing! You could have given our location away! You can't just throw yourself into a fight. You can't even use your powers properly yet. What good would it be if you got yourself killed?"

It was my turn to scowl. Thanks for making me look super useless and untrustworthy. Just thinking about what he said made my blood boil, even if some of it was true. Sure, I couldn't control or even use my powers most of the time but it's not like he had to say that in front of everyone else.

Misono's scowl quickly vanished and he became much more serious. "You need to learn how to use your powers, the sooner the better. Your not going to be much use without them." concluded Misono.

I looked up at him and sighed. "You know that really makes me feel amazing...your basically saying that I got really badly injured for no reason." I muttered. To be honest I couldn't be bothered with it right now. My arm was sore and my ribs ached, besides, I'd heard this sort of stuff from Misono a hundred times so it just went in one ear and out the other. Your such a bastard sometimes, throwing comments around with not a care in the world. You'd have a thousand fits if I said something like that to your face, let alone in front of all your 'friends'. If you could even call them that.

In truth I didn't really know what it meant to have a true 'friend'. Sure, I had them at school but everything they knew about me was a lie, at least the fabricated me that I created by manipulating their weak minds. I thought I could make it through school without ever having to reveal my true nature but there was one boy that I could never fool...Misono Alicein.

After a few seconds of silence I stood up and lazily walked over to a wooden door, followed by a set of stairs. As I passed Misono I made sure to show him my hurt expression before walking up the polish oak staircase.

-------------------

"What just happened Kuro? One minute she's fine then the next she's sulking off upstairs." I had watched as Misono indirectly insulted Nina. I didn't think she would over react that badly.

"You don't know her at all do you?" responded the small black cat that was dozing on my knee. He didn't so much as blink when his sister walked away, obviously upset. The cat yawned loudly before continuing. "She's not really that upset, she couldn't care less about what the brat said. She's just trying to make him feel bad." explained Kuro.

I looked over at Misono, he didn't look guilty to me, but it was always difficult to tell what he was thinking. "Why would she try to make him feel bad, their practically siblings?" I was definitely confused but I didn't have any siblings so I probably wasn't the best person to judge a situation like this.

"I don't see why you would call them siblings, they've only lived together for five years. There not even related."  Kuro rolled around on my lap, obviously bored. "I hope the brat finishes talking soon so I can have a nap."

What Kuro said made me think. I guess they haven't been around each other long enough to be anywhere near being called siblings. Then again, I've seen it with my own eyes; how they secretly worry each other. When we fought against Tsubaki for example; Nina threw herself into the fight to protect Misono, and when Nina was wounded, Misono worried himself so much that he was ill, though he tried to lie and say it was a cold. But Lily eventually 'Spilled the beans' on that one. Misono was not pleased about it, even now he would deny it, saying that it was a 'coincident'.

I sighed inwardly. Those two were curious teenagers, even by my standards. Especially Nina, the way flames seemed to dance in her eyes when she was angry, or how her eyes seemed to glow with passion when she, on the rare occasion smiled.

------------

I threw myself on my king sized bed, clawing at the thin, blue duvet. My heart was pounding in my chest for some unconceivable reason. Why am I so angry? Sure, I'm a little pissed, but this anger feels different. I can't find a source. I might have a short temper but I shouldn't be this mad. I was only trying to make him feel bad, I wasn't even really upset. At least that's what I told myself.

Something caught my eye making me look over at my wooden bedside table. It was not the white cupboard, nor was it the turquoise lampshade that caught my attention, but the complex, gold picture frame. The picture frame was rimmed with thin, dark gold leaves and vines which only emphasised the picture within. Whenever I looked at it, it filled me with a deep sense of nostalgia. If only I could have returned to a time when living wasn't so difficult and my heart wasn't trapped in an endless tug of war that threatened to tear me apart. I carefully picked up the frame, closing my eyes tightly as I held it to my chest.
