Big Sister
Ch. 4
Disclaimer: I do not own Jet Set Radio.
It was about 12 a.m. in Tokyo and right now the city was experiencing one of the biggest thunderstorms to date. Lightning light up the sky and the thunder that accompanied it seemed to be loud enough to wake the dead. Cube however, was able to sleep throe the noise of the storm without any problem. Sadly, the same could not be said for her little brother Yoyo. One practically loud boom of thunder had caused the young boy to wake up in a heartbeat. The poor boy immediately sat up in his bed and looked around the room before he jumped from another loud crack of thunder. The small boy just gave a little whimper of fear before he grabbed his dog plushy and hugged it to his chest. Yoyo laid back down on his bed and tried his best to fall back to sleep, but his attempt to fall back asleep ended in vain. The loud thunder and the flashing lightning only kept the child up, and it did not help that the boy was afraid of thunderstorms. Finally giving up on his futile attempt to sleep, the small child quickly got out of his bed and left his room a while hugging his dog plushy to his chest. Yoyo raced out of his room and went across the hall into Cube's room. Once in his sister's room, he wasted no time in getting to his sister's bed. He quickly climbed up unto the bed and started to shack his sister awake. "Cube wake up, yo. Come on big sister, please wake up." Yoyo pleaded as continued to shack his sister. Cube gave a loud grumble of irritation before she rolled over and pulled her blanket over her head.
Yoyo just continued to shack his sister awake, and after a couple of minutes had passed Cube finally gave up on falling back to and sat up and looked over at her brother. "Yoyo what is it?" Cube asked tiredly before she gave a large yawn. Yoyo just shuffled his feet a little before he hugged his little stuffed dog a bit harder. "The thunder woke me up and I tried to fall back asleep, but the thunder and lightning won't stop and I don't like thunderstorms!" Yoyo said all in one breath. A loud bang of thunder was once again herd in the background, and Yoyo once again jumped from the rather loud sound. Cube just gave a small sigh before she got up from her bed and picked her little brother. She lifted her bother up unto the bed and placed him unto her lap. "Do you want to spend the night with me Yoyo?" Cube asked as she looked down at his large ruby red eyes. Yoyo just nodded at her as he continued to hug his dog plushy to his chest. Cube smiled slightly before she placed Yoyo down beside her and covered him up with her blankets. Once the boy was covered by her blankets, Cube started to hum a soft lullaby. The lullaby that Cube was humming was the lullaby that their mother used to always sing to them when she was still alive. If there was one thing in this world that could make Yoyo fall asleep, it was their mother's lullaby. After humming the song for a few seconds, Cube started to sing the song.
"Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain, never coming down.
Break into the contents, never falling down.
My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Yoyo's eyes widened slightly when he heard the song. This was the song that their mother used to sing to them all the time. Yoyo could not remember much about their mother, but Cube had said that she had been a wonderful person….
You say, "Dreams are dreams.
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."
You say, "'Cause I still got my soul."
Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.
Yoyo listened as his sister continued to sing the song with a smile on his face. Cube had such a lovely singing voice, it was soft and gentle. Cube did not sing a lot, but when she did she always seemed to put her heart into it. The sound of the storm started to grow softer and Cube's singing started to become louder and louder, until the only thing that Yoyo could hear was the soft lullaby that she was singing.
You still are blind, if you see a winding road,
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.
Yoyo could feel his eyes growing heavy and he could not help but give out a small little yawn.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Right after Cube had finished singing, Yoyo had fallen asleep. Cube smiled at her sleeping brother before she looked over at the window. The storm had called down now, and the harsh rain had become a soft drizzle. Cube's smile just grew a bit bigger before she laid down next to her brother. "Don't worry Yoyo; I won't let anything hurt you." Cube said softly as she looked over at her brother. Cube heard Yoyo grumble slightly before he snuggled up closer to her. Cube just gave a small chuckle before she closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep….
Ok, so that's chapter 4 for you all. I decided to use the song 'Wind' which is by Akeboshi (it's also the first ending song of Naruto) because it is a rather cute song and I can picture a small Yoyo falling asleep to that song. Also, since I don't know what eye color Yoyo had I decided to give him red eyes. I saw a picture that someone drew of Yoyo and they had givein him red eyes and I thought Yoyo looked pretty good with them so that's why I chose to give him red eyes. Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter and I will try and get the next chapter out as soon as possible so please review and don't flame.
