Forever Entwined

Chapter 11

The sky outside was dark with only the moon and some stars to light it. Shin leaned back on the headboard of his bed as he stared out his window. He had just woken up from a short nap and from the look of the darken sky; he thoughts were that dinner was probably over by now.

Sighing quietly, he then looked down to look at the person sleeping by his side. Sleeping on her front with her slender back and shoulders showing where the covers have slipped off, Sukiya was sleeping soundly. Looking at her now, he realised just how fragile and vulnerable she was.

Shin combed his fingers through her hair that has fallen in a disarray manner off her naked back. Looking closely, he could see the bruises he put on her body, especially on her upper arms where he gripped her too hard. He regretted losing his temper and taking it out on her, to hurt her like this when he should be treasuring her.

He remembered the first time that he felt that way, when he was still a child. That time, a strong emotion came over him, demanding that he protect his other half, to keep his twin safe and cherished…

. . . . The sun was shining brightly but the heat did not bother Shin who was playing with toys under the shade of his favourite tree. He and Suki would bring their toys and play under their favourite tree. The branches of the tree were big and widespread make it cooling to sit under even in the hottest weather.

They would always play alone together. With guests sometimes coming and going and great-grandmother falling sick sometimes because of old age, they were left to themselves most of the time when their private lessons are over.

When they asked about their father or mother, the household would always keep silent and avoid answering them. Even when they asked their great-grandmother she would always vaguely answer that their father was busy with work as he is the head of the Sumeragi family. But even then they knew that something was wrong so they relied on each other for love and support.

He was busy playing with his truck, using a simple spell that he had learned to send his truck crashing into the castle building block that his sister had built earlier. He knew that Suki will get mad at him for crushing the imaginary castle she had built for her dolls especially when she had used a spell to make her dolls come alive to make the castle. But Shin knew that Suki would forgive him for crashing it as she loved him.

Zooming his truck forward, he smashes it into the blocks making a loud crash as the blocks tumble from their shape. But when he did not hear his sister scold him, he turned, looking around for his sister. She was not near the tree.

Getting up on his feet, he circled the tree to look for her. Finally he spotted her near a window with a ball at her feet hugging her new doll. The ball must have rolled there when she was playing with it with her doll. At first glance, Shin though that she was just resting there before getting the ball. But after a few minutes of her not moving from that spot, Shin decided to go there too.

"…its already been 5 years, Subaru. Can't you just even look at them for a while?" Shin heard the voice of his great-grandmother said that as he neared Suki and the window. Suki was just beside the window but the person inside the room will not be able to see her as she was on directly in the view of the window.

"No I won't Grandmother. As always I will leave their upbringing in your capable hands" That familiar voice brought him to a standstill a couple feet behind Suki. He realised what or rather who had fascinate Suki so.

It was their Father, who was now in the room talking to great-grandmother. Even though they never met face to face, he could still remember his father's voice which he and Suki had overheard whenever he come back from time to time since they were young.

"But Subaru! They need the guidance of their father more than an old lady. Please Subaru…"

"I don't want to look or even see them. I don't even have any feelings towards them. Now excuse me, I have to go so that I won't be late." The slam of door opening can be heard with heavy footsteps walking away from the room. Then a squeak of the great-grandmother's wheelchair can be heard following those footsteps.

When Shin was sure that they would not come back to the room, he hesitantly moved toward Suki.

"Suki? Are you alrigh―"He paused when he saw her face. For a few seconds, he looked on as tears rolled down her cheeks as she cried silently not making a single sound. Her face pinched, as if in pain and her eyes spoke a depth of pain that she did not sound out. The doll in her arms was crushed as she hugged it tight to her body.

Snapping out of his trance, he rushed to her side to tug her close into his small arms. When she was in his arms, she dropped her doll and put her arms around him, holding on to him tightly as if he was her anchor. As if a tighten string being cut, harsh sobs can be heard from her even with her face mashed in his front shirt, turn it wet with her tears and maybe even snot.

"Shh.. Hush Suki. It's alright, you got me and I got you remember. Don't you care about what Father has said."

"B..But he―HICCUP―He hates us! Sob Sob" Suki continued crying as if her heart was bursting even with him comforting her. She cried the whole day; only letting him get close to her ignoring the other when they tried to ask her what was wrong.

That night, Suki fell asleep in his bed where she cried herself to sleep beside him, as if she did not want to let him go. Shin softly patted his little sister's back as she made a sniffling sound even in her sleep. As he patted her, he made up his mind to protect and cherish her always.

I will protect you always Suki… From those who would harm you, especially Father… Especially him! Shin thought fiercely, unknowingly lighting up a candle near the window with his power. The flickering flame burns bright as the determination in his eyes to protect Suki from harm . . . .

"Mmm…" Shin turns to Sukiya to see her slowly awaken from her sleep. Watching as her winch slightly as she stretched made him feel a little guilt.

This afternoon, when he had finished his Student Council work, he sent his power through the wind to find out where Suki was so that they could go back together. As he stood with the window open, the wind breeze through the school and found her in the garden.

But what made him so mad was that the wind whispered to him that someone was with her. And when the wind shows him who is was, his temper begins to boil. He had already warned her not to go near that Hiro guy and still she did not listen.

Shin was able to hold on to his temper all the way home but when they were near their room, his temper just erupted and he pulled her roughly into his room leaving bruises on her arm. From there, things got from bad to worse but even then she will never reject him.

When she has fully awakened, Suki turns on her back, pulling the covers over her breasts to cover her nakedness and look into Shin's eyes. His eyes still has that coldness to it but she could see a hint of regret. She knew that he lost his temper and regretted what he had done even if he did not voice out that regret.

Sighing softly, from her position lying beside him, she raised a hand to gently caress his face telling him that she forgives him. Shin's hand came up to hold her hand to his face, his eyes slowly closed in relief as a response to her gentle caress. They stayed that way for a few seconds.

"Hungry?" he asked when he opened his eyes again.

"Hmm.. Mmm… Yeah, you took most of my energy away." Suki weakly grinned at him, trying to make a joke out of things.

Shin laughed uneasily, knowing that her jokes were lame but she still lighten up his mood.

"Well, let's shower and dress before we ask the cook for some late dinner." He moved out of the bed to put on his bathrobe but a hesitant touch stopped him. He turned back to see Suki blushing red as she clutched the covers to her front.

"Umm… C-can you please pass me the robe?" Even with the messy hair and some bruises on her, when she blushed like this, it makes him want to eat her up, she is so sweetly tempting. He could not help but tease her. Rarely did you see this side of her; she is always in control of her emotions.

"Sure, but I will have to go to the toilet bare if you want it." This made her blush even more.

"Ah… Ah! Nevermind…" She looked down to hide her red face, twiddling nervously with the covers. Shin was now laughing outright. Too cute, he thought. He bends down to steal a kiss from her downturned red face. That startled her making her look up at him.

"Mmm… Shin! Umm…" Kissing her once made him want to taste her again so he deepens their kiss.

"Let's have a little snack before moving on to dinner, shall we, Suki." Shin leaned into her as he kissed her deeply, biting softly on her lower lips, making her gasp and fall back on the bed, dizzy with the sudden rush of endorphins.

Shin continued to kiss his way down her slender neck, marking her with a love bite near her collarbone. As he kiss his way downwards, he pulled the cover that she was holding letting his hands wander, feeling the touch of skin on skin. It feels electrifying.

Letting his hands wander up her smooth legs, he thought, Forbidden as it may seems, our love will stay strong even if it is wrung by hurt and pain….
