Crossed Hands
Chapter 2
Shiro marveled at the palace. She wasn't all that scared to actually look at the luxuries of the King and his son and friends; it was amazing! It seemed to sparkle and shine like the Nile would at times. At that thought, the girl was saddened; would she never see the beautiful river, even though it reminded her of her grief every waking moment? Would she not be able to venture outside the palace now?
Shiro didn't know what a 'friend of the Prince' meant, but she was fairly sure it meant she had to stay put... Maybe, but she was wrong before...
"Heba and Jono, right?" She whispered, trying to put names to faces. The blonde one, Jono, nodded, smiling at the girl as he shoveled more food into his mouth. Heba nodded politely. "What do I do around here? I am not quite sure what to do..."
Heba only smiled. He thought the young girl was fairly cute and was willing to help her with anything she needed. "Well, you will hang out with us and the Pharaoh, talk to him, have fun, occasionally clean, but that's something we all have to do." She nodded and smiled. Shiro then seemed to hesitate a bit before asking, "am I allowed to sing?"
The thought occurred to her just then that since she was free from the people whom gave her scars, then maybe she was free to sing. Then again, that was only another assumption right now.
Jono seemed surprised and was the first to reply. "You can sing?" Thankfully, he swallowed his food before talking. Shiro nodded, her shyness shining through once again. "Will you sing us a song?" His red eyes seemed to flash in excitement, and his face only seemed to scream that he really wanted to hear her voice. Her eyes wondered over to Heba, who also seemed to be excited.
She took a deep breath. "I don't know... how long it has been since I've sung, but I'll try my best." A small smile flitted across her lips before Shiro took another breath and started to sing.
"Home is behind...
the world ahead.
and there are many paths to tread.
Through shadow
to the edge of night.
Until the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadow...
Cloud and shade...
All shall fade...
All shall...
...Fade..."
Silence. Shiro shifted a little, nervous of what they would think. She choose that song because it was short, and it didn't strain her vocal cords too much. 'Maybe I should have picked something different...' She thought. Tackles from both sides sent the young girl reeling. "That was amazin'!" Jono exclaimed, hugging the living daylights out of Shiro. "Will you sing for us again? Please?" She looked to her other side and saw that Heba was giving her the puppy-dog-eyed look.
"That would be nice, yes." All three heads shot up to see everyone standing in the doorway. Atemu was smiling softly. They all gathered a seat around where they were eating and settled themselves down. "So would you?"
Shiro nodded. Jono and Heba let go, sitting besides their respective masters. She stood there, thinking of a song before a kind of medley appeared in her head.
She took a couple of deep breaths, calming herself down before starting once again.
"Upon one summer's morning,
I carefully di' stray
down by the Walls of Wapping
where I met a sailor gay.
conversing with a young lass.
who seem'd to be in pain
Saying William when you go
I fear you ne'er return again
My heart is pierced by cupid
I distain all glittering gold
there is nothing can console me
but my jolly sailor bold.
His hair it hangs in ringlets
his eyes as black as coal
my happiness attend him
wherever he may go.
from Tower Hill to Blackwall
I'll wander, weep and moan
all for my jolly sailor
until he returns home.
my heart is pierced by cupid
I distain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
but my Jolly sailor bold
My father is a merchant
the truth I now will tell
and in great London city
in opulence doth dwell
his fortune doth exceed
three hundred thousand gold
and he frowns upon his daughter
who loves a sailor bold.
a fig for his riches
his merchandise and gold
true love has grafted my heart
give me my sailor bold
my heart is pierced by cupid
I distain all glittering gold
there is nothing can console me
but my jolly sailor bold
Should he return in pov'rty
from o'er the ocean far
to my tender bosom
I'll press my sailor tar
My sailor is as smiling
as the pleasant month of May
and often we have wondered
through Ratcliff Highway
Many a pretty blooming
young girl we did behold
reclining on the bosom
of her jolly sailor bold.
my heart is pierced by cupid
I distain all glittering gold
there is nothing can console me
but my jolly sailor bold
My name it is Maria
a merchant's daughter fair
and I have left my parents
and three thousand pounds a year.
Come all you pretty fair maids
whoever you may be
who love a jolly sailor
that plows the raging sea.
While up aloft in storm
from me his absence mourn
and firmly pray arrive the day
he's never more to roam.
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I distain all glittering gold
there is nothing can console me
but my jolly sailor bold.
My heart is pierced by Cupid.
I distain all glittering gold
there is nothing can console me...
but my jolly sailor bold..."
Shiro took a deep breath and let it out. That one was rather long winded, and she remembered hearing another girl singing it while she was working. The strange girl could only slightly remember where the other girl was from. Her mismatched eyes looked at the new friends she had in front of her and smiled slightly. "What do you think?"
Jono and Heba grinned, looking to be proud parents of their child (she did seem younger than them at some point or other). Atemu smiled softly and gave a compliment. Marik and Bakura seemed to be frozen in shock; she hoped that it was a good sign. Malik and Ryou grinned, seemingly liking her song. Set also seemed shock.
Shiro bowed, taking everything as a good sign. Maybe she wasn't so useless after all around here.
Wow, that was long enough. Sorry for the cliché singing, but eh... I liked it :)
So I wanted to thank all the people out there who waited for my lazy ass to show up and continue posting but... I was kinda stuck :/
Sorry xD
