Chapter 6 Afternoon Repose

" Ow!" Silver whined, " that hurt." Amy burst out laughing. " I didn't know Silver was such a baby." Kayra joined in, in their teasing. " Yeah even Kyo didn't shout." " HEY!" Kyo whacked Kayra over the head, " I heard that!"

Silver crossed her arms; " I can't help it if I hate tiny needles sticking into my skin and at the same time a guy peering up my skirt!"

Silent afternoon
Curtains swept up by a gentle breeze,
Floating memories
In hours like these of the days that we share

The girls all wore tank tops and jeans. On their right shoulder was a cotton pad, keeping the new tattoo safe. " OH! COME ON!" Kayra dragged them into a newly opened music store. They flipped through CD after CD laughing amongst themselves at the stuttering counter boys who seemed very taken by Kyo.


Like an ending summer eclipse
Sweet sun pours in from the window
And this shadowed room turns into gold
Out shinning sorrow

The door swung open and the boys walked in. " Great what do we own the pleasure," Kyo mockingly bowed at Amy. They burst out laughing again and Silver pulled the CD she'd been looked for from the slot. The boys watched them and Kayra stuck out her tongue at them. They paid for the CDs and were gone.


In this peace of mind, no apprehensions
I've found my own - a bright reflection
Something calm and strong, I can't explain it
and it's embracing me

Aki stared after them, " Brooklyn?" Brooklyn looked up from the CD he was looking at with a dark look. " Aki it's off." Brooklyn walked out the door. Tala and Kai followed him. Aki glared at Johnny, " well?" Johnny shook his head.

" You really do have issues with her."


I'll wake up to the morning sun here comes another day

Silver looked up when Aki walked in. Her homework was spilled over the table. Aki walked over and shoved her homework sheets off to one side, setting his over the cleared spot. Silver scowled and picked up the roughly shoved off to one side work. She shuffled them and pulled out her CD player.


And somehow know everything will be OK.

Aki watched his sister out of the corner of his eye. She didn't look at him once, just plainly ignored him. Reached over her grabbed one of her earphones and pressed it into his ear. Silver looked over with a scowl, but didn't object. Green Day poured out.


Wind chime, lullabies
Calling me into my garden
Where we kissed the seeds to grow and to bloom
tenderly in the spring

Silver penned her last answer to her science worksheet and stuffed them into a folder. Leaning back in her chair she watch Natalie order he servants around. " How can you stand her?" Aki looked up and over to his mother. Natalie flounced over and kissed Aki's forehead, she sent Silver a glance.

" Get dressed," She ordered Silver, " tonight's the party." Silver glanced down at her jeans and tank top. " What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"


Daydreams arise in sunshine's glory
Midday repose, a simple story
Something calm and strong, I can't explain it
and it's embracing me

Natalie turned to regard Silver with a raised eyebrow, " You're indecent." Silver's eyebrow soared and she chocked on the water she had been drinking. Silver pounded her front and got up. Still coughing and sure she had gotten water up her nose; she bounded up the stairs.

Silver ran her hand through her damp hair as she stared at her reflection. She frowned at the long, plain colored hair. Her eye's lit up at and idea. Rummaging through her draw, she pulled out a pair of scissors. Pulled her ankle length hair over her shoulder, she stared and closed her eyes. Lifting the scissors, as if in a trance, she cut.


Past the yearning, I learned to temper my sorrow
Memories of you; I'll take to tomorrow
Coz I am glad I awoke to this calmness
You lead me to

A pail of hair surround Silver. She fingered her knee length hair. " Not bad." She murmured. She reached for the black dress that a maid had set out for her. She fingered the velvet and silk. She sighed and pulled it on. Silver braided her hair into a French braid and walked out of her bathroom.

Again, Silver thought tiredly, she wasn't herself. She didn't belong here. No, she was never born for the dresses, the formality. Sighing she scratched idly at her new tattoo.

Aki walked into her room and Silver looked up and over at him.


In this peace of mind, no apprehensions
I've found my own - a bright reflection
Something calm and strong, I can't explain it
and it's embracing me
I'll wake up to the morning sun here comes another day

" Ever heard of knocking?" Silver bit out and glared at him. Aki wore a black tux and Silver was sure that's what all the other guys wore. Aki shrugged, " Natalie what's you down stairs now." Silver stared at him; hate radiating off of her. Up until now, she had completely ignored the trick he and Brooklyn had pulled on her.

But his careless tone had been the last straw. " Tell 'Natalie' I won't be attending." Years of training had taught her to keep her temper under control and Silver was going to keep it that way.

Aki shrugged and stared back at his sister. " You're funeral not mine." Silver snarled under her breath and pulled the dressed over her head. Aki turned away with a blush evident on his cheeks.

Silver changed on top speed and turned to have Aki looking at her.


And reminisce Love's afternoon repose

Aki merely watched her, as if nothing in the world really mattered to him. " Is something that matter dear sister?" Silver snapped. Her hand jerked forward, slapped Aki. Aki's head twisted to the opposite side the slap came from. His hair covered his eyes.

" I hate you." Silver said through clutched teeth, tears threatening to spill forth. Sasatnehiel cried from the depth of Silver's soul, yearning to be let out. Silver stomped Sasatnehiel down. She frowned at looked at Aki. He remained in the position Silver frowned harder and opened her balcony door. She climbed over the side and hit the grassy ground of the backyard.

" I really hate you for what you did to me."
