Some short stories about what happened in the series mainly based on Miku's POV. Be warned because it's definitely OC, though I try to gauge what Miku's reactions may have been based on circumstances on the game and her interactions with other characters, albeit in a slightly more exaggerated sense. I just think she's one of the characters in the game I really sympathize with, not to mention that she's just one of my favorites. So yes despite her horrible voice on FF1 or the fact that she followed her stupid brother in the Manor, I still love this koto-playing, brother-loving, slow-climbing of a girl! ^^

After the failed Operation: R.B.A.F.P.G (Rescue Brother's Ass From Pervy Ghosts)..

I awoke in the cold hard ground at the small garden (or what's left of it) of the Himuro Mansion, my body heavy and sore as if somebody had just used it as a punching bag or some sort. I remembered the time I accidentally drank Mafuyu's sake, mistaking it as some kind of a bitter tea, and after being knocked out, I awoke with a very painful headache, my throat raw and dry as if filled by Ruri's hairballs. It's just the same as now.

I groggily went up to my feet, stared at the flickering balls of light dancing up the Mansion when I suddenly realized that there is something missing.

Mafuyu! I glanced around frantically, looking for brother's tall (sexy) figure, no way I spent 4 days getting my ass kicked without bringing my brother home and forcing him to talk about his issues including his obsession with his mentor. But Mafuyu was nowhere to be found. I think I remembered now.

He stayed with that Rape, I mean, Rope Shrine Maiden Kirie! At that moment, I just knew I had to set the whole mansion on fire, hoping I would ruin brother and his new girlfriend's heart-to-heart talk with each other.

Dammit Brother! I blinked the angry tears away. Why the hell are you so infuriatingly kind sometimes? After everything I've done to save your butt from that Rape, I mean, Rope Shrine Maiden Kirie, you just ditch me even without warning me beforehand. A note saying "I think I'll stay" in your notebook would have been helpful!

Miku..

"Miku yourself, you stupid brother. Go talk to your new girlfriend instead..." I mutter

Miku, please I need you to understand me. Kirie needs me. You don't know how it must have been like in her position...

"I damn well know how. What you don't know is how it must have been like on MY position!"

Miku, come on, will you just listen! I am the only one who can help her. She'd been through much. She deserves some peace and happiness in the end..

"Oh yeah? Didn't you think that after everything that happened to me, I at least deserved some peace and happiness as well, or at least, my own brother?"

Miku...Her brother's voice sounded exasperated You wouldn't understand. Whyareyoubeingsuchawhinylittlegirl?

"I hate you so much brother. What will become of me? I will become an orphan forever! Our relatives pretty much left us, I don't know anyone whom I could trust. I only have Ruri now, and guess what, maybe I lost her too because I hadn't fed her for four consecutive days! All because I'm too busy trying to save both of our necks in this God-forsaken mansion filled with crazy ghosts and then you suddenly decide you love it here and freakin' stays!"

...Argh, will you stop whining?

"I still hate you, Mafuyu. Because of you, I'll be psychologically scarred forever! "

…

..."Mafuyu?"

There was no response.

"Brother?"

Mafuyu chose the wiser move to shut up for once. I bit my lip to stop the urge from screaming my lungs out that he's an ungrateful sonofab*tch but then I would probably be attacked by great grandma Yae's ghost and scrub my tongue dry for even uttering such a word.

I stood silent for a moment, my anger dissipating. It's not fair. All I want is my brother to be beside me. Why did he have to follow his stupid teacher here in the first place? Why did he become a FOLKLORIST in the first place? They always screw things up. And they tend to speak real slow, horribly slow, just that folklorist Munakata aka Great Grandad. Hmm..Come to think of it, the slow voice is more likely a family trait. Everyone in the family tends to speak slow, well except me of course. I just climb ladders and staircases real slow.

Oh heck, what am I thinking? My brother is gone! I'm now an orphan! I don't have any reason to live anymore. I don't even have a job to pay the house rent with. Real smooth, Mafuyu. The least you did after you decided to stay is to at least tell me your bank account number or maybe leave me a will for me or something. Now I'll die of starvation and extreme negligence, not to mention, officials would think I murdered you and fed your entrails to Ruri to hide the evidence.

"MAFUYU!WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?I HOPE YOU AND KIRIE ROT ON THAT HELL HOLE FORE- Ouch!" A stone hit me square on the head. I glanced around angry and picked up the stone for retaliation but there's a note rolled up around it. Curious, I unrolled the crumpled paper.

MIKU, go at Yuu Asou's residence. I told him to take care of you when I'm gone. I wrote the address below just in case you went lost (which you always do)

And please never ever cause him some trouble. Spare him of your whines and rants, please

- From your loving brother

PS, Kirie says Hi.

"Loving my ass!", I angrily threw the rock away. "Hi, your face, Kirie, you brother-stealer, two faced, scheming BI- Hey! Another stone hit her in the head. "OKAY OKAY, I'll go. Sheesh, after everything I did, you just throw a rock in my face. Real nice Mafuyu. I wish great grandma would strangle you or something."

And then I went in on my way, glancing blankly at Mafuyu's poor handwriting. Damn, I couldn't understand anything. Where is the Asou residence?
