(Just a word of warning. This introduction very spoilerish so if you have not read Tsukihime and care about spoilers I'd stop here.)
This house was a prison. In a bed inside the Tohno Household that was all a young man could think. Upon returning to his original home Shiki never thought he'd be thinking like that, but he was. His house was a prison. Or perhaps that was too grand, his room or even his bed could have been the prison. After all, he couldn't move. Physically there was no reason to it, but for all intents and purposes Shiki's body was paralyzed. The cause: his own sister.
It wasn't even an hour ago Shiki confronted Akiha. He'd found out she'd been sucking blood from people at night and demanded answers. What he got was something unexpected. Now with vermilion red-hair, the woman explained how she killed the original blood-sucking killer, and now she was the one sucking blood. For whatever reason Shiki had a connection to the original killer, they shared a life force so neither could truly flourish while the other lived. And now that Akiha had killed that person, she seemed to take his place. She and Shiki shared a life force, so she sucked blood each night in order to keep them both strong. Akiha revealed all of this without a care in the world. A part of Shiki wanted to kill her as she confessed, but he didn't do it. He listened, and then Akiha made the one request he couldn't fulfill. She wanted him to love her. Not as a sister, but as a woman.
It wasn't really a matter of incest, Shiki knew he was adopted, but even so he saw Akiha only as a sister. Though that wasn't the main reason. The truth was...there was another, one of the maids of the Tohno house, Kohaku. Shiki loved her. And when he told Akiha that...she did this to him.
Because they were connected, all it would take is a thought of Akiha and Shiki would die. Akiha displayed this power by taking away Shiki's ability to move. But despite that he still held loyal to Kohaku. Akiha seemed confident he would change his mind though. She called the maid to take him to his room as if it were the most trivial of matters. So here he was, trapped and unable to move at all.
Damn it...Shiki thought to himself. Even the simple ability to talk seemed to escape him right now. His body felt like someone else's, something beyond his control. He was Akiha's puppet, and he knew it. That wasn't what frustrated him though. What frustrated him was the fact he couldn't help Akiha. Whatever was causing this...change...it wasn't her. She didn't seem to realize it but something was controlling her. Even if her personality remained dominant its influences were obvious. Whatever that something was, Shiki wanted to do something about it. Though he wondered how. When he couldn't even walk without Akiha willing it so?
Sleep
Huh? All of a sudden the young man felt exhausted. His eyes grew heavy, he struggled to hold them up.
Sleep Nii-san. When you wake up...
Shiki couldn't hear anymore. He was asleep.
In the last week with each night being plagued by dreams of murder and blood-sucking, Shiki'd forgotten what a regular, dreamless sleep felt like. It was a reprieve he'd really needed. A chance for his mind to relax even if for a moment. Though like all pleasant things, it went by far too fast. Before he knew it Shiki's eyes were already fluttering awake.
"Huh? Man that was a good nap..." He scratched his head...Wait...scratched his head?
"Ah?!" The young man looked at his hand. He was moving it! His body could move! Hands, legs, arms, everything seemed to be in working order. The relief of mobility again brought a smile to Shiki's face. A smile that instantly vanished when he realized something.
"Where am I?"
He was somewhere new...Or rather...some place familiar, but nothing he could recognize. The furniture still resembled that of the Tohno Household, but it seemed so much...bigger. And that was the key word. When Shiki looked at everything he realized he did recognize this room, it was only huge! Or to be more specific, Shiki was small. Yes, with that realization the chairs now looked like chairs. The shelves resembled shelves. Even the big plain Shiki had woken up on was now very clearly a white table. Though knowing what had happened didn't diminish the shock.
"I...shrank?!" Shiki muttered in disbelief. "How?! Why?!" His mind racked the possibilities although the answer was as obvious as ever. He shrinks hours after finding out his sister had total control over him. Who else could it be?!
Click The room's door opened as a figure stepped in. Even though Shiki had seen the person plenty of times, seeing them as a towering giantess brought a look of awe upon his face. He shouldn't have been as surprised as he was, given that he was in their room. But even so, he'd woken up shrunken and now was staring at...
