Humming softly Kira listened to the words that Oki was telling her but she couldn't wrap her head around it. She knew that it would take time... but after the two years things have just been getting worse not better, and she was sure that as much as she wonted them to things were never going to get better. She had long ago accepted the fact that her mother wouldn't be there when she got home or when she went to bed but it wasn't her father that was trying to help with the role of her mother... it was her.
And if the pack can't recover?

"Then the pack falls apart," Oki sighed. "And the strong either found a pack of their own and join another. Is your pack really that damaged Kira-chan?"

Nodding against her chest, Kira still had her body relaxed, although she knew what she was talking about she still could hear the heartbeat which made her almost forget the ache she should be feeling in her own chest,
I haven't had a pack in a long time now, only an alpha who wishes for a different cup

Oki nodded, burrying her face in the girls hair. "Then you're welcome in mine, Imooto-chan. It's small, and it's not very good, but you're a welcome part of it all the same. Maybe I can make it stronger for you."

Using one of her hands to clutch slightly on Oki's shirt Kira snuggled against the older girl a bit more, making sure that she wasn't going anywhere.
Maybe when the time is right... but an alpha doesn't do well on it's own... and I need to make sure that mine will keep living before I can leave him... no matter what the cost to me is...
As much as she wished to be with Oki she knew that deep down her father was still her blood and abandoning him was not something her mother would have approved of. Besides, the words couldn't harm her physically and so long as she knew she would be welcomed somewhere then it would be worth it.

Oki nodded again. "Whenever you need me, sweetheart."
Oki wished she could do more, wished she was older, but she wasn't. She simply was. So she held Kira close, because that seemed to help, and rocked with her very lightly. This much she could do, and even with Kira's hands clutching at her shirt, Oki knew this seemed to comfort her. It made Oki herself feel better feeling Kira's weight and warmth in her arms.

With a soft smile at Oki's words Kira began to hum softly, although she had been gone for two years Kira liked to hum or sing the lullaby that her mother used to sing to her as a baby or when she was upset. A slight wind made her snuggle a bit more though comfortable with the temperature she wondered if Oki was.

Oki was very comfortable, and she closed her eyes with a smile when Kira began to hum. She and the girl seemed to have that in common, too: that they hummed when they were content. She didn't recognize the tune, but the melody was sweet and Oki wondered at the words.

Ever so softly Kira lost herself into the song and practically whisper-sung it smile while she did
Little child, be not afraid The rain pounds harsh against the glass Like an unwanted stranger There is no danger I am here tonight
Little child Be not afraid Though thunder explodes And lightning flash Illuminates your tearstained face I am here tonight
And someday you'll know That nature is so This same rain that draws you near me Falls on rivers and land And forests and sand Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning
Little child Be not afraid The storm clouds mask your beloved moon And its candlelight beams Still keep pleasant dreams I am here tonight
Little child Be not afraid The wind makes creatures of our trees And the branches to hands They're not real, understand And I am here tonight
And someday you'll know That nature is so This same rain that draws you near me Falls on rivers and land And forest and sand Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning
For you know, once even I Was a little child And I was afraid But a gentle someone always came To dry all my tears Trade sweet sleep the fears And to give a kiss goodnight
Well, now I am grown And these years have shown Rain's a part of how life goes But it's dark and it's late So I'll hold you and wait 'til your frightened eyes do close
And I hope that you'll know That nature is so This same rain that draws you near me Falls on rivers and land And forests and sand Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning
Everything's fine in the morning The rain will be gone in the morning But I'll still be here in the morning
Once she was finished Kira continued to hum the song softly, nuzzling against Oki and the heartbeat that was so soothing

Oki listened to Kira sing, continue to rock with her while she did so. She didn't know this song, but it was lovely. Someone had loved the girl very much once, to have sung something like that so often. It clearly meant a great deal to her.
"That's a pretty song," Oki said quietly when Kira finished. "Did your mother teach it to you?"

Nodding her head lightly Kira moved her hand from clutching Oki's shirt to placing her hand over the older girls.
Kaa-san always knew that it would make me feel safe... sometimes she would sing it when I was scared or sick... but not that night... I think she didn't want to seem like she would be lying to me that night... so... I sang it to her...

Oki marveled at the girl's strength. Could she have done that for her own mother?
"She was very lucky to have you with her, imooto-chan. I'm sure you were a great comfort to her."

Blushing lightly Kira didn't know why she had started singing at the time, it felt like the right thing to do and she always trusted what her feelings told her. Her father used to say that it would get her into trouble some day... and maybe it would but if it felt right she never understood how it could be bad.
I didn't want her to be scared... and it felt right...

"I'm sure she wasn't, love. Not with you there beside her."

Smiling slightly, Kira kept her head against Oki's chest and closed her eyes. It felt good to be held by the older girl, better then she had been feeling for a while. Listening to the other's heatbeat Kira didn't notice as she started to dose off only for a second or two before she woke herself back up. Bringing her hand to her face she covered her mouth to hide a yawn.
