I took a deep breath and gently patted my stomach before stepping over the threshold into the bar. Every eye was on me in a second. Usually this is when I would start to panic but I was on a mission and couldn't stop now. I glanced around the bar, filled with shady looking guys, until I say a familiar face.

"Izumo-nii!" I called out to the man behind the bar.

He made eye contact with me and instantly lost his composure. He dropped whatever it was he was doing, jumped over the counter, and made a beeline for me.

Stoping two feet I front of me he whispered, "Yasu-chan?"

"It's nice to see you Izumo-nii!" I couldn't stop face splitting smile form breaking out.

Suddenly I could no longer breathe, Izumo had caught me in a bone crushing hug.

"It's been a while hasn't it kiddo?" He released me with a smirk on his face.

"Hey! I'm not a kid!" I pouted childishly

"Well you're still in school aren't you?" He said, regaining his composer. "And your under 18, so you're still a kid"

"Huh well at least one of those things is true… I am under 18."

"Don't tell me you dropped out!" He gasped, disappointment apparent in his voice.

"What! No no no no! I was expelled"

.

He promptly lost his composure again. "What could you have done to get expelled?! Did my sweet little Yasu-chan get into some trouble? Do you need me to make a few calls? I can pull a couple favors!"

"Yes and no"

"What do you mea-"

"Hey Izumo! What the heck is going on here?! How do you know this girl?!" One of the shady guys holding a skateboard, or should I say hiding behind a skateboard, demanded.

"Oh I almost forgot about you guys!" He chuckled, turning to our audience.

"Everyone, this is Yasuharu Suou. Cousin to Mikoto. Yasu-chan this is everyone." Suddenly I felt queasy, I don't like crowds or people I general.

"H-hi," I stammer out and gave a halfhearted wave.

They surrounded me in seconds.

"So you're Suou's cousin?"

"What are you doing here?"

"How long have you known Izumo?"

"How old are you?"

"What were they like as kids"

"What kind of name is Yasuharu?"

They all pounded me with questions at once, not even giving me a chance to answer them.

"I- uhm- I'm-"

"Guys back off your scaring her" someone grumbled and they became silent instantly. The parted like the Red Sea, revealing my dear cousin.

"Mikoto," I nodded

"Yasuharu," he nodded back. "What brings you here?"

"I need some help."

His eyebrows went up, whatever he though I was gonna say that defiantly wasn't it.

"But why come to me for help" he inquired, it was no surprise to me that he found this slightly suspicious.

"Because I have nowhere else to go," I explained. "I got expelled, Dad through me out, and all our other relatives just ignore and turn their noses up at me," I quickly closed the distance between us.

"But why?" Izumo asked from behind me. I could practically feel everyone's eyes on me. Now I felt much worse than simply queasy, I felt like hurling.

Taking a deep breath to calm myself, and keep my lunch down, I stood on my tippy toes and whispered three words in to my dear cousin's ear.
