Chapter Three
. : Ch. 3 History : .
By the time the two landed in front of the Moonshine it had become black as night and the rain was coming down in buckets making them look like two soaked rats. They went into the semi-dark bar, it was quiet, and nobody had been in the bar.
"Where the hell is he?" muttered the sopping wet tengu.
"Where's who Mitsuru?"
"Mahiru's back! Hey Mahiru, did ya bring Mitsuru back with ya?" yelled the were-wolf from the kitchen. "Ah crap he beat me again!"
The two walked down the hallway, or in Mitsuru's case stomped, into the kitchen where the other members of the Lunar Race were engaged in an intense game of poker. The winner by far, was Misoka; in at a close second was Ryu followed by Akira then Nozomu.
Ryu's face lit up with extreme happiness when Mahiru entered, "Oh hiya Mahiru, wanna join us? We're gonna play another round of poker and I think we could turn it into a game of strip poker. OW!" In seconds Mitsuru, who had been standing by Mahiru, rushed over and hit his brother on the head. "Whatcha ya do that for?"
"Don't you have any common decency?" he didn't realize it but he had a very, very light shade of blush on his face. The older brother on the other hand, did notice it. "What this?" he asked pinching Mitsuru's cheek, "Aww someone's bluuuuushing."
"I AM NOT! I'M ANGERED AT HOW PERVERTED YOU ARE!"
"Relax I was only joking about the strip poker." Everyone there let out a small sigh of relief. "Besides I'm tired of playing poker, let's play 'strip go fish'."
"HOW AM I RELATED TO SUCH AN IDIOT?"
"Once again," Misoka said, "I'm sure you're joking."
Ryu put on a shit-faced grin, "As always, but how about we do play a different game, any one up for 'go fish?'" Mitsuru turned to leave when Ryu grabbed his wrist. "You have no choice in the matter Mitty-chan, you have to play."
"A snowball has a better chance in hell. Now let go and if you call me Mitty-chan again I swear I'm gonna kill you." The older of the two was clearly getting aggravated at the younger's attitude. Yes he had expected some trouble, but this was just plain ridiculous.
"If you don't play, I will tell thing everything you did when you were five, and about that little friend of yours. So," he once again put him in a headlock, "play the damn game Mitty."
A few moments later they were all sitting around the table playing an intense game of go fish, the outcome unknown. "Gotta a three Mitsuru?" Asked Mahiru, the reply was a card thrown at her face followed by more pouting.
Nozomu, who was next to him, patted his back, "Aww…c'mon little Tengu, act like you're having fun cause we know you are."
Ryu chuckled at his brother's face, the kid was actually ready to rip his comrade's head off, when he noticed that something was missing, "Hey Mitsuru, what happened to the earring you had when you were fourteen?"
The game was put on hold to stare at Mitsuru, could he have really had an earring? If so then why was there no evidence? "How could he have one," asked the were-wolf, "there's no hole for one, and I think I would know about that." He pointed the many piercings on his own ears.
"There isn't one, because is closed up wolf-boy. My last foster father ripped it out."
The tengu gasped, "Ouchie. Why'd he do that?"
"Said I needed to learn discipline, and yanked it straight down."
Mahiru asked timidly, "What did you do that he did that?"
"Called his blood son a pansy, he completely flipped cause he got a speck of dirt on his polo shirt. Why the hell am I telling you any of this and you," he pointed to his brother, "don't act concerned." He stood up, "I'm leaving." And stomped up the steps and for added measure slammed the door to his room shut.
"Erm…'m sorry 'bout that."
Nozomu waved a hand at him, "Don't worry about that, he's always in his constant state of PMS, no offense to you Mahiru."
"None taken; Misoka, do you have a five?" She got yet another card, and was now the current winner.
"So, why don't you tell us a bit more about yourself Ryu?"
"Misoka, I think he's had enough with our curiosity." chided the vampire.
"Nah, it's no problem. Well, as you already know I'm twenty, Mahiru do you have a seven?" he took the card she gave him and place it among his pile. "My birthday is August twenty-eighth. And for…well when I was seven my dad died and I was place in a home where they had also had Mitsuru at."
Mahiru was confused, "But what about your mother?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, if Mitsuru did know he's never told me."
"Say…what was he like as a child?" questioned a curious vampire.
"You mean he's never told you anything at all?" His answer was a shake of the head 'no' from everyone. "Well, when we were re-united when he was four, he was kinda quite. I walked up to him and…"
"And what and what?" from the were-wolf.
"He must of recognized me and called me big brother and hugged me." They were all shocked that was probably the most emotion that Mitsuru had ever displayed. "Then for the next five years we acted just like brothers and when I was twelve I ran off. And now I feel bad, I kinda left him there…I think that's why he hates me, I 'abandoned' him there."
"Why did you?"
"Well, I felt bad that Mitsuru didn't get to know his parents so I thought I should look for our mom. Bad idea…" He realized what was going on and stopped, "Heh…umm, I really think that we don't need to go into that subject. At least not until I've had a proper with him."
Mahiru was about to say something when Misoka broke in, "That is understandable, but tonight…would probably cause more harm than good for your causes."
The girl stood up, "I'm feeling tired, so I'm gonna go to bed now. Good night Akira, Nozomu, Misoka, and Ryu." With that she walked up the steps and instead of heading toward her room she went straight for the roof.
Even though he had slammed his door Mahiru knew that Mitsuru had climbed out his window and went to the roof. Rain, sleet, hail, or snow, whenever he was bugged he went up there. "Mitsuru are you here?" she asked when she walked out onto the roof; looking around she couldn't find him, did he fly off into the rain?
She walked over to the edge, by now her tee-shirt had become sopping wet and was clinging to her skin. "Where could he have gone to?" A voice from behind startled her, "What the hell? You dumbass are you trying to get sick?"
Turing around she saw Mitsuru, "Huh, wha- but you flew off."
"No I didn't, I was sitting in my room when you went past and came up here. Now for the last time, get your ass inside before they blame me for getting sick."
She did as she was told, for she didn't feel like arguing. At the end of the hallway he said something but she didn't quite hear it. "What did you say, I didn't hear you?"
His face became a light shade of pink when he repeated, "Next time you decide to go out in the rain, don't wear a white shirt with a black……bra on, happy now." He rushed past and for the second time he slammed his door shut.
She stood there shocked, "OHMIGOSH! HOW COULD I DO SOMETHING SO STUPID!" The third time that night a door was slammed. She could already tell, it was going to be one of those times. The girl stripped into her pajamas and crawled under the covers, maybe if she stayed there everything would go away. If only she knew that would never happen…
