part three
Author's notes: Only two reviews? T.T Oh well...Thank you, those who reviewed. ^.~ Please review when you have something to say about a chapter. n.n I love reviews and I especially like to hear if someone liked a certain part of it alot or if they're slightly confused on a part so that I can explain it, or rewrite that part. ^^; Making it better.
Oh..I expect more Maze fics to come out! T.T Pleeeaaase?
. . .
Hai - Yes, alright, okay.

"Otousan!" Akira growled, looking much older than his actual seven years. He had finally gathered the courage to face his father. Mei stood behind him, wide-eyed with a large, dark bruise on one of her fragile cheeks.
"You have to stop it! You're hurting Mei!" Akira yelled. Their father looked at him disdainfully.
"That's how you should treat a child that needs to learn to not be so clumsy."
"Clumsy? She rarely ever trips over anything, you don't catch her running into walls, she's never spaced out while walking...how can you call her clumsy?"
Their father sat down into a comfortable chair and Mei tightened her grip on Akira's shoulder, leaning into him in fright. Akira narrowed his eyes and spoke up again, "If you hurt her again...i'll hurt you. After I hurt you...I'll tell the cops about you hurting Mei!"
His hand's tightened, but their father's face remained calm. "Who would believe a boy-child like you?" He looked at his watch, "I have a business trip i'm going on and I won't be back for about a year. I expect the house to be the way I left it when I come back." He looked at Mei.
"...H-hai...Otousan", Mei forced out.
. . .
Their father shut the door, and so Akira and Mei rushed to the nearest window and peered out of it to see when he left. Once he had, Akira turned to his sister and hugged her tight.
"One whole year without that old fart!"
Mei giggled quietly and slowly wrapped her arms around his shoulders and leaned her head onto his shoulder. As children, neither found this a gross or more than an affectionate brother to sister hug, but someday...that would change.
Mature for a seven and six year old, yet still so innocent...
Mei smiled up at her older brother as she released her hold on him. She tapped him lightly on the shoulder and stepped back, giggling softly. "Tag, you're it!" She then turned and ran as fast as her tiny feet would take her.
"Hey! No fair, you got a head start!" Akira grinned and ran after her.
. . .
This is an extremely short chapter. -.-() I'll do my best to make the
next one longer! I already have all of this story in my head!
