A/N: I am so so sorry, I can't find my file for chapter eight so I won't be updating for a while. I had gotten no sleep and I have my friends graduation party to go to at three and I still have to write Family Quarrels which normally takes me all weekend.
Disclaimer: I do not own STARMYU or its characters just Mayonaka, Taiyo, and Yoshi.
Chapter Seven: New Arrivals
Yuta's POV
"I can't wait till we get there! Thanks for having our training camp there Itsuki" I said smiling back at him which made him chuckle at me which caused me to blush from the sound. Right when I blushed Kakeru complained about the bath schedule.
I couldn't wait to get to Hiragi Forest since many of the rifts that lead to Stride are there and that means Taiyo (1) is also. Just the thought of seeing her makes me really happy so it's hard to sit still.
"Just a normal country side" I heard Kakeru say and I smiled "this is a mountain side Kakeru, I've been to a country side before but it wasn't surrounded by trees" I said watching the scenery go by. "It'd be lonely without you Kakeru" I complained which caused him to blush before Kaito spoke which sparked an argument.
When we got off the bus we were standing in front of a really old but beautiful building, it was it was as gorgeous as the last time I came to these woods to play with Taiyo. Itsuki walked up to the door and told us to come in and I knew that the inside was a lot worse than the inside because of the wink he gave us.
When we entered the house it was very impressive minus the dust and architectural problems from lack of use and care. When we looked around the entry way Itsuki explained the layout of the house and the uses for each floors.
"There's plenty of stuff to do in the woods everyone" I said when Kakeru yelled the opposite "yeah? Like what?" Shu asked and I smiled leaving the house with the others including my brother. When I walked out I froze forgetting that there were bears here since I never had to worry about them before.
"Are you afraid of animals Yuta?" I heard Toru ask and I shook my head lightly "no he isn't, where is she by the way? Doesn't she live around here?" I heard my brother answer and I nodded at his question. Before I could call her though there was a noise in the shed scaring me so I hid behind Tsugaru.
A few moments later the shed doors broke open and Inumine was standing before I heard music start and walked in front of my brother so I could watch.

"What was it we can do out here Yuta?" Toru asked when their song was done, I put my fingers in between my teeth and whistled before I heard a rustling of leaves and saw a figure jump over the wall landing in front of me. "Hey Taiyo, this is who I wanted you to meet" I said looking at the large white wolf with sunset colored folded wings.
Taiyo barked eagerly licking my face making me laugh before I heard gasps from everyone except Tsugaru. "Is that a Gaia Wolf? I thought they were just a legend!" I heard Kakeru say pointing at Taiyo "Taiyo is a Winged Gaia Wolf, even so they're not a legend" Tsugaru said and I nodded petting Taiyo's head.
"Please stay here Taiyo, we want to ask Mr. Otori and Mr. Hiragi something and I don't think you'll fit" I said before continuing "plus I don't want to ruin the house" I finished and she pouted but nodded. When we went inside we looked around to for our instructors finding them in a, I think, meeting room on the third floor.
Toraishi and Kaito spoke first when we came into the room and Kakeru and Ugawa started fighting after Kaito spoke up. "Can I not do that since I already know a lot about them and I want to play with Taiyo?" I asked and both instructors seemed confused.
"Who's Taiyo? No one lives here except us and a wide variety of animals" Tsubasa asked and I nodded "she's a Winged Gaia Wolf I used to play with here" I said getting a shocked look from everyone. "So you're the boy we always saw with a wolf" Tsubasa said barely confusing me.
"If you mean the two brothers who were who were torn apart by one not fighting to stay then yes" I said shocking him "well they don't really know about you so why don't you tell us about yourself?" I heard Itsuki ask and I nodded taking a deep breath. "I was never able to choose the school or classes I wanted to take until two years ago, I was mentally, verbally, psychologically, and physically abused in school and at home for ten years" I said before continuing.
"I was forced into four different types of competitions in school which normally end in physical abuse because I lose every time, I hold the record for longest restraining order when I was ten" I said looking at Itsuki the entire time. "I like citrus drinks, hamburger curry, I rush a lot, I'm good at origami, and when I'm quiet my physical condition worsens" I said looking at the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.
"Too much or too little?" I asked tilting my head to the right slightly. "It's enough you can go" 'does that mean you trust us?' Itsuki said after he shook his head and before I left to play with Taiyo.
When I came back inside after seeing Mayonaka (2) and Yoshi (3), Taiyo's pups, I sat down on a chair close to Shu and Kakeru smiling at them. "This room is beautiful" I said as I walked into the master bedroom. I was happy to finally be cleaning inside though, a lot less scrubbing and organizing than outside.
"I haven't seen a canopy bed in years" I said when Toru pointed out the red canopy which was similar to mine in Stride except mine was evergreen not a maroon or brick red. "So they are the two boys" I said looking at the picture Shu held up.
I heard a clacking in the wall and wondered what it was before Shu said a mouse frightening me because of the many mice I had seen in Stride that ruined the crops in Le Roi Ville when I was there last. "When there's a lot since they can cause famine" I mumbled before I saw Team Hiragi walking towards us.
When Ugawa was half-scolded for his rude attempt at thanking us Kakeru chose to instigate a fight which isn't very good. I heard Sawatari's verbal worry and saw that he was correct but before I could try and stop the fighting the front doors slammed open and Mayonaka ran in.
When she tried to stop though she skidded into the podium and her nose hit the vase it was holding making it shatter once it hit the ground. "Mayonaka! Be careful" I said walking up to her "I'll play later now please go back outside" I said hearing her whimper before she conceded.
I walked towards the vase but tripped right in front of it hearing Inumine land next to me. "I hope it's not too expensive" I said forgetting that Tsugaru could just reverse time on the vase so it wouldn't be in pieces, when we got up I noticed our ensembles were a mess when Itsuki and Tsubasa came in.
"What happened, boys?" I heard Itsuki ask making me worry for Taiyo's pup "a bear did it" I heard Toru say and I was shocked he didn't tell the truth. I heard everyone act as if this was a show and I felt bad but knew Mayonaka felt worse.
"This is dangerous so clean it up" I heard Tsubasa say and I was about to before Itsuki mentioned a curse. "Does the curse work on animals?" I asked knowing it was a joke for lying about the vase "I don't know but why are you asking that?" I heard Itsuki say and I nodded.
"Tsugaru can you fix the vase please? I want to play with Mayonaka" I asked when I finally remembered he can fix it and he smiled nodding at me. "Sure but you know they're joking right?" I heard him ask and saw Itsuki and Tsubasa give us odd looks "yeah I know but I promised I would play with her" I said and he nodded again.
"Who's Mayonaka?" I heard Itsuki and Tsubasa ask making me smile "she was the one who broke the vase" I said stopping a chuckle at their shocked expressions. "I was joking you know? However I did like watching the Dream Team perform together" he said and I smiled. "I know and I did to however I don't want her coming across the many cursed objects in the forest" I said walking out the door.
Third Person POV
"What does he mean by 'cursed objects'?" Toraishi asked looking at Tsugaru who only smiled as he knelt by the vase hovering his hand above it. "Taiyo's family died from stumbling upon the many cursed objects in the Hiragi Forest; pretty sure he doesn't want to continue acting since he knew it was a joke" Tsugaru explained as he placed the not broken vase on the righted podium.
"Least you don't have to apologize to your grandfather for the broken vase" Tsugaru said with a smile surprising Itsuki and Tsubasa since they haven't mentioned whose vase it was. The rest of the time involved arguing and working together as well as talking about various things until Yuta went to the practice room which he really liked.
Yuta's POV
I turned around when I heard Tatsumi clapping "you like musicals right Yuta?" I heard him say and I shrugged. "Do you? I don't mean to be rude by saying this but you don't seem to be having a lot of fun despite the synchronization" I said and he nodded.
"Yours was well done as well" he told me and I looked down not liking where this was going "but you're no threat" he said and I shrugged again not minding that. "Why do you want to be a musical actor?" he asked me and I shrugged again before I spoke.
"I don't want to be one and even if I did I couldn't do it as a profession" I looked at him to see he was shocked "I am leaving Japan when my first year ends so I can't continue to be one if there's no chance for me to do so" I said and he nodded seeming to come to a conclusion. When he told me to give up I chuckled at him "I need to get better to help my people, I can't or I should say I don't know how to give up" I said and he smiled complimenting me.
"If you don't want to feel that way gain some wings, Tsubasa and Toraishi are your only team members who have them" I said before Team Hiragi called for him. "I wish we could perform together again but I don't think you'll agree" I said when he was about to leave "I hope your team gets better because we're rivals tomorrow" he told me and I smiled agreeing with him.
Third Person POV
"No need" Itsuki said as he watched the brown bear by the shed and watched as another one, but this time a black bear, went to the brown bear. However there were more animals out tonight "must be fate huh?" Tsugaru said as he stood a little bit behind Tsubasa.
"What do you mean?" Itsuki asked as he watched a brown Gaia pup with white wings lick the brown bears cheek. "Yoshi is Yuta since Yuta's similar to a brown puppy while Tsubasa is similar to a black bear and you're similar to a brown bear Itsuki" Tsugaru said and they were both shocked at the answer.
"I'm similar to Mayonaka, the black pup with white wings, both pups are brothers along with the bears so I see a happy ending for my brother and for you to Itsuki" Tsugaru said before he left the room. Itsuki was smiling as he watched the cub and Yoshi play before they all left making Itsuki frown and Tsubasa leave.
1) Means Sun I think
2) I think it means Midnight, I was going to have it be Tsuki but that was Yuta's cat's name.
3) Means earth, I think
