The World Falls Away
Chapter 8: Vistors
By: Jen "the Stampede" Motou
"Mayu! Get back here!" I shouted as I ran after my younger sibling. She ran down the street and approached a small group of teens; they looked to be about my age. –Maybe a few years older-. "Hello." She smiled to them standing in front. "Hello there." One of them smiled back to her, he had violet eyes, -soft violet eyes- and brunette locks. I appeared behind her and grabbed her by the hand. I tugged on her arm meaning to pull her away. "Come on!" I shouted angrily, I had no idea why she insisted on bothering strangers. "Ow! Let go!" She growled back, however I proceeded to try to pull her away. "STOP IT!" she sounded again, and well…she is my little sister, so I did. "Why do you do this Mayu! She glared at me playfully and stuck her tongue out at me. I growled disapprovingly but still stood there none the less. I crossed my arms glaring all the while. "I'm Mayu Asuka! What's your name?" She shouted gleefully to the teens. One of them- the violet eyed one again- was quickest to speak once more. He smiled looking down at her. "I'm Kira Yamato." The way he spoke, it had a genuine kindness about it, his voice was so kind. I suppose that is what put me at ease –but only a little- She giggled and smile widely as the teen standing next to him –the blue haired teen- spoke. "I'm Athrun Zala, that's Yzak Joule…and" "…I'm Dearka Elsmen." The taller teen finished his sentence. "What about you?" Kira had directed his attention to me and I turned my crimson eyes away from him. "Oh that's my big brother Shinn. Don't mind him he's always been a stick in the mud!" Mayu grinned back at me. I only narrowed my eyes in response. –Siblings-
"Come on Mayu, we need to go." I urged, reaching down and grabbing her hand again, holding the groceries we had been sent to retrieve tight in the other hand. "Grandma can wait Shinn. She won't mind if we're a little late. I wanna talk to them." She turned to me, and used –those eyes- pleading she spoke. "Can I Shinn. Please! Pretty Please!" she cried. My narrowed crimson softened a little and I went to answer when the white haired on spoke. "Don't worry about it. We have to get back to the ship. Come on Dearka, the Commander doesn't know we're out." With that the two turned and left. "You gunna go back too Athrun?" Kira piped up and the emerald-eyed teen smiled. "Nope. I'm on leave. What about you guys, Kira?" The violet-eyed teen started laughing nervously, "Well Um…we sorta…" "….got kicked off of the ship for a little while." The other brown haired teen finished. "You what! What did you do!" The blue haired teen shouted, as the other two seemed to plead forgiveness. "So where are you guys staying?" Mayu piped in tugging on Kira's sleeve. He looked down and at her and smiled. "Come to think of it, I don't know. I'm sure we're off for a few days after that stunt." "And I'm on leave for a few days, from the way the Commander spoke, I'm sure he doesn't want to see my face either." Athrun finished. "Stay with us!" Mayu spat out rather suddenly and I almost fell over from what she said. "Mayu are you joking!" I shouted my red eyes going wide.
"Nope. Stay with Us! Grandma won't mind." She smiled at them warmly –but with pleading. The boys all exchanged looks and then looked to me. Kira's violet eyes smiled at me as he spoke. "Do you mind? We don't have anywhere else to go." "Please Shinn! Plllllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssssseeeeee Shinn!" Mayu pouted holding Athrun's hand. "I like them! They don't seem boring like you!" She teased sticking her tongue out playfully. My crimson eyes soften and I smiled at her. "Alright, Come on. We need to get going. It's getting late."
