Tsukihime rising moon
It was a bright day in as Misaki Town as Shiki Tohno made his way down the road to school his mind drifting in and out as he walks down the road. He watches the clouds drift over his as he walks not needing to watch in front of him using his other sense to be aware of his surroundings. He holds his school bag over his shoulder as he nimble maneuvers past people and other obstacles in his path his eyes glued to the sky. He was too preoccupied with the day's events to care much of what was happening around him.
That previous day had received a summons from his sister Akiha who was now the head of his family to come back and live with her in the mansion after eight years of him living in the Arima family house hold. There had not been a day he had not thought about his sister Akiha and his friends Kohaku and Hisui who had lived in the house. He had tried to stay in contact with them but his father who had been a… well for the lack of a better word an ass, had prevented him from contact them. But his father was dead and his sister who had every right to hate him for not contact him was allowing him to come back and live with her. He wondered how much she had changed and if she would notice how much he had changed intern.
Starting after he had moved into the Arima household which was a branch of the Tohno family, he had met a man who lived next door to his house. He had become good friends with the man who became his master and teacher. His master had found a use for the gift that was also a curse that Shiki bore and had trained him to control and use it. He had trained Shiki body which had been weak from injuries received in an accident and turned it into a weapon. He had Shiki train until he could move swiftly and fight with more strength in unison when need with several different forms of martial arts and heavy work outs. Shiki could now after eight years of training quiet literally take a man apart with his sharp object or even his finger if need. But that was not all that his master had taught him he had stuff knowledge into Shiki head math, science, languages, and more. No Shiki mind was just as dangerous as a weapon as he had made perfect grade since then.
As Shiki walked his hand went into his jacket pocket and pulled out the item he had received as inheritance from his father after his death. In his hand is fruit knife with an engraving on the side saying Nanaya on the side of it. He wondered how his father had found out about his fascination with knives as he looked at the knife before putting it away. Over the eight years he had lived in the Arima house and been training underneath his master Shiki had built up quiet the collection of knives of almost every shape, size, and variation known to man. He had the fascination after he had found the use for his eyes which could see the line on almost anything from his master, and from there he had started his collection. Even at that moment due to his training he had received Shiki carried several knives on is person in case he should have need of them.
Shiki crossed the street as he reached an intersection and his thought returned to the home he would be returning to after a long time. He had mixed emotion about returning but for the most part he hoped that his sister still hated him for not contact her all these years. With that he decide to let himself figure the rest out when he arrives at home that afternoon and heads to school the school shutting down his thought with using his a method he had learned from his master. He arrives within ten minutes a leaving his house having jogged the rest of the way. He entered the back gate his breathing not showing any changes even though he had run the rest of the way there.
He walks through the school yard and he begins to hear the sound of some using a hammer nearby and looks around curiously. He walks toward the sound and he find girl sitting nail the wooden splints that run along the paths in the school. Shiki looks at his watch, which tells him that homeroom starts in about fifteen minutes and he walks forward and stops beside her. She stops the work she is doing and looks up at him while wiping the sweat from her brow.
"Um…what is it", she asks look up at him with a light smile on her face while adjusting her glasses that had gotten crooked. "Uh, it is nothing. I was just wondering what you were doing." He said this with his curiosity taking over the fact that he might be late soon. "Ah, as you can see, I am in the middle of fixing the splints." "That is not what I meant. I was wondering why you are doing something like this. Won't the maintenance people take care of it anyway?"
The student that is older than him since she is wearing a third year uniform smiles and laughs to hide her embarrassment. "I am the kind of person who cannot stand seeing a mess like this. I just can't leave them alone." What she tell him make sense in a strange way to Shiki as he decides that she is a bit odd from what he has seen so far. "That is why you are fixing it on your own? If you do not like the mess, why not just avoid coming here?"
She looks over toward the school building and then points to a window on of a class room facing the courtyard. "Well, my classroom is over there. My seat is next to the window, so it is easy for me to see the courtyard. Well, usually I just bear it, but when I took my seat today, I was surprised to see all the splints in this area were broken." After saying that her face clouds a little, the fact that they were broken making her sad. "Anyway, you know what they say 'strike while the iron's hot' and all. I borrowed the tools from the office, and decided to fix them myself."
After telling him this, Senpai leans over and returns to hammering the nails into the frame to repair while ignoring him. He stands there watching her and then the first period bell rings and he looks to see if she gave any reaction, but she keep of the work on fixing the splints. He gives up on trying getting her to go to class and sit down and begins to help repair the splints. The work proves to be easy and they start to fix them rather quickly.
Thirty minutes later there are only two of them left to be fixed so Shiki gets up not willing to but of getting to class any longer. "Well, I will be going", he said as he dusted his pants off and the girl stands up and stand there staring at him. He looks her over for one final time as he tries to figure out who she is. The only thing he gets is that he had not seen her before that and that he picked up a strange feeling from her that he could not put his finger on. He deicide to let thoughts drop and he will try to figure it out later as he picks his bag up underneath her silent stare. "Um, I have to go. Do not work too hard, Senpai." He said feeling a little unnerved underneath her gaze.
At his comment she gives him an obedient that is almost childlike before she speaks up. "Thank you for helping me. I am glad you did." With that she gives a quick bow. "I will be sure to come and say hello during lunch. Oh, and do not forget to wash your hands, Tohno-kun." "You too, Senpai", he said back to her before turning and waving goodbye. But he turns back as he wondered how she had known his name because he did not remember telling her what it was. He hand goes to into his sleeve and grasp the knife strapped into his sleeve just a percussion "Huh, have I met you before, Senpai?"
"Eeeh", is the only thing that comes from her mouth, and then she mischievously puts on a depressed face. "Tohno-kun, you have forgotten about me", she asked putting on a hurt face and holding on to her left with her right. The strikes Shiki as an even stranger thing for her to say, being pretty much a flat out lie. His hand tightens around the knife concealed in his sleeve as he keeps any emotion from appearing on his face. She stares at him with reproachfully eyes and warning bells go off in his head. The stare is suffused with magical energy pointed at changing his memories through him look at them. He had learned about this from his master in his training as well as ways to defend against it. Shiki thought with his mind and the enchanted silver ring on his finger activated blocking the spell from affecting his mind.
Before the ring activates blocking the magic though he does gain what her name is as she had tried to force the falsified memories into his head. He then decided that he would put up a façade for now. He would let her think that his memories had been altered; at least until he had figured out what it is she wanted with him. He lets false recognition appear on his face before he speaks again. "You are Ciel-senpai… are you not?" A smile returns to her face and she relaxes her posture as she nods to him appearing happy. "Yes, and I am glad you remember. You seem the type to space out and forget, Tohno-kun."
Shiki lets the comment pass by him even knowing that it especially was not true as he had seen through her little magic trick. "Well, see you later, then. Sorry for keeping you." She then bows again and then Shiki watches as she walks toward the school building leaving him standing there alone. He waits until she is out of site before he releases his grip on the knife and takes a slow breath. He reaches to his hip and pull his cellphone from it clip. He then sends quickly a lengthy text to his master about the encounter and asks him for instructions. He receives a new message after a few seconds telling him to act normal at school and to meet him in the park later that night.
Shiki heads off to class after that and arrives during the break after first period. He sneaks into the classroom and makes it to his seat without any problems. He set is bag on the top of the desk and then gets in the seat quietly. His friend Inui Arihiko notices him and walks over after giving him a wave and stand in front of desk. With that they begin their daily routine of insulting each other and talking about anything in particular. Eventually Yumizuka Satsuki Shiki other friend who he had known since middle school shows up to talk with them up until the bell rang signaling the start of second period, then they all return to their seat leaving Shiki to at his desk.
It now being lunch time Shiki decides to stay in the class room for a few minutes so he could check up on something using his phone. He quickly pulls the device from his hip and unlocks it before bringing up a program his master had given him. He then hacked into the schools network and then quickly brought up the schools mainframe. He then typed in Ciel name into the database and looked it up. There was barely and files about her and none of them even slightly mentioned were she had come from before then. He did a few more searches but he found nothing proving that there was something suspicious about her this time. With that Shiki goes to lunch and eats with Arihiko and Yumizuka and they continue their talk about things that are not really important.
The rest of the day goes by quickly as Shiki mind flash from one subject of thought to the other from him moving back in to Tohno mansion to the mysterious senpai who he does not know showing up and trying to hypnotize him. By the end of the day he has a slight headache that throbs as he watches the sky through the window. The bell rings and he is in no hurry so he waits a little while before he head out into the hallway not wanting to go to the mansion just yet. As he steps into the hallway he notices a familiar face or at least a face he was wary of at the moment.
He quickly through up the façade of him knowing her and then speaks up. "Huh, what is up Senpai? Do you have some business here at the second year classrooms?" He asks while playing the part underneath her stare from where she is standing in the hall. "Yes, I have business with second year students to be precise." She walks over to him with a smile on her face that from what Shiki can tell is genuine or at least on the outside. "Listen, I have some nice snacks here, but no one to talk to. It would be a waste to eat them all by myself, so I came to catch an idle-looking person to talk to."
Shiki flinches internal as he hears the blatant attempt at flatter coming from her as she think him ignorant enough to twist around her finger. "Shouldn't you think about asking your third year classmates? Conversation would probably be better." He keeps up the façade of ignorance on her working this out. "Yes, but today, I am in the mood to talk to younger guys. Please do not ask for a reason, it just on a whim." Shiki nods still fake ignorance to see what kind of reaction he can get out of her. With that the smile disappears from her face as she stares into Shiki face. This tells Shiki that she is obviously pissed off at him and she he feels the warning bells go off in his mind as soon as the stare at his face, but it has not effect due to the rings enchantment.
"Are you free right now Tohno-kun", she final asks her tone plain concealing her anger with calm words. Shiki decides that it would be alright for her to go along with her for now so he speaks up. "Well, if having nothing to do means that I am free, then I am definitely free." Her hand grabs his sleeve and he resists the impulse to grab the knife hidden in his sleeve and jump back. "Well then, you are now caught. Let us go have some tea." With that she smile at him while she less than invites more on gentle forcing him to come along with her. "Sure, I will come along, if it is okay with you", he said as he let a smile that actually felt a little genuine appear on his face.
They go to the tea ceremony room they eat snack and drink tea while talking with each other for a few hours. The talk mostly consist of her quizzing him about his life and he answers her without giving her any information that he deemed important while she puts barely answered any of his question truthfully or without shifting the subject. She was definitely looking into him and was hiding any information is Shiki final assumption as the talk went on, though he enjoyed the conversation he was sharing with her as the happy personality she was giving him was most of the time the real deal. After a while they both decided that it was time to leave they said their goodbye.
Shiki now began to the now longer walk home in the opposite direction as he headed for the Tohno mansion. He mind drifted back to that of his sister and his to childhood friend that he had left behind as he walked what felt like a long road back to his old home. When after about an hour he arrive at the front gate having walked a lot slower then he usually would. He walks past the towering walls meant to keep people out and the family in or at least that was the feeling got from them and into down the path leading to front door. He make it to the front door which a double sided iron door and pause in front of them and takes a long slow breath to calm his mind.
He put his hand out and pressed the doorbell once sending out a light chime noise in the silence surrounding the mansion. He waited a few minutes and then the sound of footsteps came from the other side of the door. "We have been waiting for you", a female voice said calmly from the other side of and it creaked open. The lobby of the house was revealed to him along with a young girl in an apron standing in apron wearing a large smile. "Thank goodness, you are so late I was beginning to worry that you had gotten lost. I was thinking about going out to meet you if you had not arrived by sunset." The girl said this as she smiled at him warmly.
Shiki was a loss for words as he tried to figure out who the girl was wearing the outdated dress, but looking familiar to him. Then with a shock he realized who she was and let a small smile show on his face as he bowed to her in greeting. "You are Kohaku-san am I correct it has been a long time has it", he said to her his smile growing. Shock crosses her face at hearing this apparently she had not expected him to remember her. "Yes that is who I am, Shiki-sama. I am surprised that you remember me." She had said the last sentence her tone sounding a little strange.
"That funny, how could I forget about you Kohaku-san we were friend as children. I may have forgotten a little bit after the accident but it was mostly just unimportant stuff. Though you have changed a lot since you were a child I could always tell who you are. Is your sister still here as well?" He asked that and stepped forward slightly looking around. "Y-yes she still lives in this house and works as a maid the same as me." Kohaku's face showed mix between worry and surprise but it was quickly replaced with the smile she had worn when she had opened the door.
"Come; you must be tired. Please do come in, Akiha-sama is waiting for you in the sitting room". The girl said this and quickly crosses the lobby and heads towards the sitting room. She then turns back once there like she had forgotten something and bowed with a smile on her face. "Welcome home Shiki-sama", she said making Shiki uncomfortable with her almost natural looking smile. He does not reply and just follows after at little hesitatingly.
She then guided him to the sitting room which he had trouble remember what it looked like as if he had never been in the room. Kohaku bow her head in a quick bow while Shiki looks around the room and this draws his attention. "I have brought Shiki-sama with me", she said to someone in front of her. "Well done, you may return to the kitchen, Kohaku", a voice said from the in front of her sound familiar to Shiki. The maid bows again thank the owner of the voice and leaves throwing a small glance toward Shiki this showing the same concerned look as earlier. That leaves Shiki and two girls who had been in front of Kohaku in the room.
"It has been a long time, Nii-san", said the girl with long black hair and sharp eyes who Shiki recognized as Akiha from his memoires and the obvious comment. Though there are some startling difference between the girl in front of him and the one from eight years ago. He can only nod with a quiet "yeah" as he looks at her. She tilts her head to the side saying "Nii-san" as a question. He fumbles with his thought as he tries to think of something to say but nothing comes out. "You do not look well. Would you like to rest before we talk, she asked this with her sharp eyes gazing at him from where she was sitting on the coach.
Shiki gets the feeling that she is in a bad mood and he final finds his voice again his mind starting to run at full functionality. "No, I am alright. I was just surprised at how much you have changed Akiha." Her stare stays on him but changes slightly. "People do change over the course of eight years, Nii-san. We are at an age of change or did you think we would remain as we were forever?" Her word hit him like thorn her tone slightly cold toward him. He remembers that he had not contacted her for eight years and he is sure that the anger boiled in her all this time.
"No, you have definitely changed, Akiha. You have become more beautiful than before." He said using his true feeling mixed with a little flattery to hopefully warm her mood, but…. "Indeed, but you on the other hand, have not changed much at all." She answers him coldly with her eyes closed. Oh well, Shiki thinks to himself as he looks at her, he had come prepared for something like this. It was as he thought, that she would not think well of him anymore. He would have to do his best to repair his relationship with her.
"If you are feeling well, let us finish our conversation. You have yet to hear the details about why you were called back here, Nii-san?" She asked him shifting the subject and getting back on the main topic and he quickly shifted his thoughts for the moment. "I have heard nothing more than the sudden 'come back to the mansion', though I found out the old man passed away in the papers". Good riddance, he thought to himself having not liking his father, which was a loose term when it came to him. "I am sorry; it was my fault that you did not get the new about father", quietly said this and lowered her head.
Shiki sighed mentally at this his dislike for his father not being a fact she was able to glean having not had contact with him for a while. "It is alright. Either way; it is not like he would come back from the dead if I went. It is not something you should be worried about." "I am sorry. It is somewhat comforting to hear you say that." Her seriousness show in her tone but he could care less about the about his father who had gotten rid of him. "Calling you back here was my idea. It would be odd for the eldest son of the Tohnos to be entrusted to the Arimas forever. Now that father has passed away, the only Tohnos by blood are you and I, Nii-san. I do not know what father was thinking when he entrusted you to the Arimas, but he is no longer with us, so there is no longer any need for you to live with them. That is why I had you come back here."
Shiki had felt a little uneasy at the part where she had said they were the last two Tohnos who had the blood, but he could not put his finger on what it was. He shook his head internally as he brought his thought back on subject. "That is all well and good, but I am quite surprised you were able to get our relatives to agree to this. Was it not them who came up with the idea of leaving me with the Arimas in the first place", he said this question having come up in his head. "That may be so, but now I am the head of the Tohno family. I declined every one of the proposals from our relatives. I would like you to continue living here, Nii-san, but this is a place with rules. You will avoid living the overly casual lifestyle you have been leading up until now."
This made Shiki laugh in his mind; he had learned how to act properly from his mater as one of the required traits he would need in life, but that did not necessarily mean he would jump through hoops and act like stuck up. "Ha-ha, I am afraid that is not going to happen, Akiha. There is no way I can go back to being some well-mannered gentleman now. Not that I want to." He stared at her with a smile apologetic smile on his face knowing that this would probable anger her.
And…he was right as she crossed her arms and frowned up at him unhappy with him and shoots him a cold look. "I will not ask more of you but do try to or are you saying you are unable to do what I already have?" Shiki can almost feel the grudge she has against him for leaving her here for the last eight years. With that he decides to give a little in hopes that he will placate her bad mood. "Alright, I get it. I will try my best." She just stares up at him as if she does not quite believe him.
After a minute her facial feature soften a little as she relaxes and her gaze less cold as he hit him. "You do not need to try, as long as you get the results. Let us get back to the topic. Right now, you and I are the only ones living here. I do not care for having too much people around, so I cleared everyone out." This catches Shiki by surprise and who had expected that the house would have all the grumpy busy bodies that had lived there when he was younger. "Eh, hold on a second, Akiha. You cleared everyone out?" She looked up at him after he said this having looked toward the doorway to the kitchen, or at least that what Shiki assumed it had been. "You would not want to run into one of our relatives in the mansion would you, Nii-san? I have gotten rid of most of the servants, but there are enough for you and I, so there are no problems."
Shiki felt a little dumbfounded at hearing this, since it would mean the other of the family would have some serious backlash for her. "Wait, problems? You are going to get attacked at our family meeting if you do something like that!" He let his voice rise a little as he tried to figure out why she had done something like that for him. "Oh, please be quiet. Rather than have the mansion overflowing with people, would you not feel more relaxed with just the two of us here?" This stopped him in his tracks as he looked at her from where he was standing. She was right he would be a bit more relaxed with less people, but not if it caused problems for her.
"But you have only just become head of the family, Akiha. If you go around abusing you powers like some kind of dictator, our relatives are not going to keep quiet. Even the old man did not go against their opinions." She shifted in position in her seat a little as she got ready to speak. "Indeed, that is why father entrusted you to the Arimas. I, on the other hand, have despised them ever since I was a child. I am going to put up with their whining any longer." Shiki had to hand it to her there he was not fond of the them either from what he had experienced from them when he was younger, but what Akiha was doing was pushing it a little.
"Not going to put up with… look, Akiha…" "Ahh, that is enough, just listen to me! You do not have to worry about me! Just worry about your own life from now on, Nii-san. I can see it is going to be difficult for you in many ways." Shiki is shut up by the sullen look on her face as she looks away from him a little. He was confounded by his sister, and how ridicules she was being at the moment, but he did not say anything more as he studied her quietly. "Now then, if there is anything you do not understand, ask her, Hisui", she said looking at the girl who was standing beside her. Shiki take notice of her and his memoires pop up again as he remembers Kohaku's sister Hisui from his child hood who had played with him many times.
Hisui who had been standing there silently bows after Akiha said her name her face expressionless. "This is Hisui. She will be your personal maid from now on. Is that acceptable?" This shocks Shiki out of his memories hearing that she was his maid. "Hold on, personal maid? You mean…" "In other words, she is your servant." She said this looking like the face should have been obvious to him as he tries to fix his broken thoughts. "Hold on, I am not a child, you know. I do not need a servant. I can take care of myself, plus how could I let a childhood friend do such a thing." After saying this, a look of shock crosses both the girls face them to being surprised at his memory still holding who Hisui was.
Akiha who still has a look of shock looks up at him and speak her tone still sounding serious not saying what was on her mind. "Would that include the cooking and the laundry", she said her look turning to one of skepticism. But this was not something he had not had experience with since his master had learn how to take care of himself for when he was to go off to college. He did not let anything show on his face though since he knew she would most likely pull a trump card out on him. "At any rate, now that you have returned to this house, you will obey my directions. I do not know how you lived at the Arima house, but you are living at the Tohno house now. Please accept everything given to you."
Shiki sighed since she had pulled the trump cared out even with him already being unable to argue with her further. He gaze drifted over to Hisui and she just stare back at him expressionlessly like a doll. This makes him slightly uncomfortable his memories of how she had been not matching the girl who stood in front of him. This was the same as her sister Kohaku both of their personality having shifted completely while he was gone. "Well then, Hisui. Please show Nii-san to his room", Akiha said cutting him off mid-thought. The maid replied "Yes, my lady", and approached him seeming like a shadow lacking presence. "I will guide you to your room, Shiki-sama", Hisui said her voice as emotionless as her face and head toward the lobby.
Shiki sighs again and follows after her falling in step behind her. As he looks back he sees that Akiha face had changed from seriousness to one that showed concern as Kohaku walked into the room after passing by them. Shiki turns back as he follow Hisui his mind trying to figure out what was wrong with and why they had shown shock at him remembering the two maids. They reach the lobby and Shiki looks around as he flashes through what memories he had of the place. "Your room is this way, Shiki-sama", Hisui said as she started to climb the stairs. Shiki wordlessly follows after her his mind refocusing on how the girl he had now as a child changing so drastically.
They walk through a dimly light hallway the sun having already set neither of them saying a thing to each other. "It kind of feels like a wonderland", Shiki said his thoughts slipping out by accident. "Did you say something, Shiki-sama", Hisui ask as she stops and turn to look at him having not heard him clearly. "No, I am just talking to myself. Do not worry about it." She stares at him for a minute in silence making him feel uncomfortable again at how much she had changed, and then she bowed before continuing down the hall. This leaving Shiki in the awkward silence again that he was not used to.
They arrived at a room and she ushered him in to the room allowing him in first and following behind him. He looks around the room in shock having expected this, but it was still impressive to him. "Is this my room", asked still looking around. "Yes, if you are displeased with it, I can arrange a different one for you", Hisui said mistaking his amazement for disapproval. "No, there is no way I could be displeased with. It is just…" The room was a little too fancy for him, but he could live with it. "Shiki-sama", Hisui said as a question to his unfinished sentence. "It is fine; I will gladly use this room." He looked to the other side of the room and found all of his possession that he had boxed up waiting for him to unpack in a pile in the center of the room.
"Yes, this room has not been touched since eight years ago, so I do not believe you will find anything unsatisfactory with it." At this statement Shiki as an odd feeling as if she was saying that this was his old room, but he had not memory of it. "Hey… is this by chance my old room", he asks while trying to remember anything about it. At this Hisui posture changes and she shows a slightly discontented look on her face while her head tilts to the side slightly. "That is what I have been told. Am I mistaken?" Shiki feel a little relief flow in to him as he sees that Hisui can express after all, and was not a complete robot. He was starting to worry for a second about her but was not going to say anything.
"Well, it might be, now that you mention it. I do remember it faintly, so it must be so." He lies as he cannot feel any sense of familiarity about the place in the slightest, but he put it off as having not being there for eight years. "I cannot get settled here, though/ I was living in a six and a half mat sized room until this morning. It is like I am staying in some high class hotel." This was his true feeling he felt out of place in large room with all its luxuries. "I understand how you feel, but please try to get used to it. From today onwards, you are the eldest son of the Tohno house, Shiki-sama." He sighs a little before he responds. "You are right. I have got to do my best so I at least look like it on the outside", he said while dropping his bag on the floor next to the bed and stretched his back.
"Shiki-sama, all your luggage has been brought here. Is there anything more you require", Hisui asks from behind him. "No, not really, why do you ask", he said turning to face her. "I was just making sure that you have everything that you need. If there is something you do need, I can have it prepared, so please do not hesitate to ask." He let this sink in as he wonder if there was anything that he needed but he found nothing that he could think of. "I see, no, I do not need anything for now. Anyway you do not have to worry about anything for now." "I understand, well then, I shall come to call you in an hour's time." This gave Shiki a moment of pause as he was turning to look at the pile of boxes he was going to unpack. "An hour, for dinner, you mean?" "Yes, please relax until then", she said in her emotionless voice.
Shiki looks at the clock and find that it is six. He asks Hisui a few questions and she answers them to the best ability. The last one about there being a television in the house catches her off guard and she shows what he consider a rare troubled face as she stare off into space thinking. She answers him no and he nods knowing that he father had hated products of modern culture. He considers in luck that he had brought his small one with him. With he lets her go and she leaves the room with a quiet bow leaving him alone to unpack his stuff.
Shiki began to unpack his belongings from the numerous boxes in lying in the floor. He first takes out the large item such as furniture and find the best places for them in the room all of them being foldout designs. With the furniture out he then quickly unpack all of his books and put them on the bookshelves that were already in the wall of the room. Then he unpacked the cloths which he put into the closet and the dressers in the room. He then unpacked his knife and blade weapon collection and hung them on the walls and on the racks on the shelves. With that being most of the work done he then moved to the electronics that he had brought with him. He put his small TV on the table at the end of his bed along with his game console so and his DVDs which he put onto two racks that he had brought with him. He then put his music player that played MP3s, CDs, and cassettes on underneath the table and placed the speaker around the room.
The final details he added was his computer which consisted of two towers and four screens which he put on the desk in the corner of the room along with the Wi-Fi transceiver that his master had given him knowing that his family would not have internet. The last thing he did was set his bag with his smaller portable electronics next to the bed and then finished by put up the posters and other unimportant item around the room. When he was satisfied with his work he changed into some casual cloths consisting of a t-shirt with character from an anime he like on it and some simple pants. He changed quickly it almost being time for Hisui come and gets him and he made sure to put back on the various holster holding his concealed underneath the cloths. He then sat at the computer desk make sure that everything was up and running until Hisui showed up and escorted him to the dining room.
The dinner takes place with him and Akiha sitting face to face with the two maids behind them should they need anything. Shiki tries to go with his table manners while sitting underneath the tension in the room making him uncomfortable. Akiha watches him like a hawk judging his moves at the table which make him depressed as her realizes that the will probably continue from now on. They hardly say anything to each other the two maid remaining complete silent. So the dinner passes with extreme slowness or at least that is how it felt Shiki and he could not relax in the slightest. But final after an hour he returns to his room followed by Hisui who examines the changes to his room silently before leaving him alone.
With her gone he lets out a loud sigh and sits on the bed trying to relax his stiff muscles and get rid of the stress that had built up. He sits on the bed cross legged with his eyes closed until he had calmed down and then sat at the computer continue his check from early while listen to music on his from the player that he had carried with him in his pocket.
