Part 5 ~ What should I say? 
~*~*~*~
[The Listeners View]
“Hey Miyavi” I slyly say as the hyper man looks up from his snack.
“Hiya there Scry” he says as I work out how to present the current situation on the man. I knew for a fact he had an interest in my cousin.
“I have some interesting news” I start to say as Miyavi lifts his head and looks at me with his mouth full. “Isshi asked Mai out” I simply say as Miyavi starts to choke on what he was eating.
“WHAT?!” he yells which earned him a lot of funny looks. I simply just shake my head.
“She hasn’t answered him, I thought I should warn you” I say as he looks at me
“Warn me? Why?” he asks as a smirk crosses my lips as I lean over him and whisper in his ear.
“I know you like Mai, even if everyone is oblivious, I can see you are going to be one jealous man until you get your claws into her” I simply state as Miyavi remain still, my smile widens as I left him there, proud of what I have done.

[Back to Mai]
Isshi now sat across from me as I ponder on my answer.
“I know there is a great age difference. I just want to know more about you, one on one.” Isshi states for the hundredth time, or so I think.
“I know, ok, I decided to take up the offer” I simply say as he gives me a sincere smile which causes me to blush. Vincent walks in and notices us.
“Eager to learn I see” Vincent coldly says as he places himself next to me. Isshi stood up.
“I’ll be leaving now, we’ll talk about this later” Isshi says more to me than my brother as he leaves the room.
“So what happen between you two?” Vincent asks as he hands me some sheets. I quickly gave a thorough think on the question.
“Nothing really” I reply as Vincent narrows his eyes at me.
“Tell me” Vincent snares as I turn and face him, just I was about to tell him something, everyone walks in.
“Mai-sempai, teach me more English” Miyavi announces as I turn and give him a smile.
“Alright and please just call me Mai or Mai-chan” I simply say as we return to our groups to continue work. Isshi leans over to me.
“Want to go after this?” he whispers as Miyavi gave a dark look while Shin had a small grin on his face.
“Sure” I reply quietly as Isshi gives a smile. We return to work, while Miyavi felt himself go into a darker mood.

[After Class]
“Mai-San, you ready?” Isshi asks as I grab my small bag.
“Yes, lets go” I say as I say bye to everyone and leave with Isshi, which left Miyavi in a foul mood and Vincent in an angry mood.
We walk silently down the street until we sat in one of his favourite cafes and quietly sat in the booth while I look at the menu.
“Vincent-san seems angry that you left with me” Isshi states as I give a small laugh.
“That’s true, but he needs to get over the fact that I am old enough to look after myself and I don’t need him to hold my hand” I say as I notice what I said seem rude. “I’m not being rude or anything because I’m not…It’s really hard to explain” I simply say as a waitress comes over for our order.
“What would you like?” she simply asks without taking her eyes off Isshi.
“Coffee please”
“Ummm Green Tea please” I shyly say as she took our orders.
“Why would it be hard to explain?” he asks as he looks at me while his fingers tap the table quietly.
“Only because of my past that’s why” I simply reply as I look at my fingers which have weaved themselves along the hem of my dress.
“I’ll listen if you want to talk about it” he says as the same woman from before drops off our drinks. I take the offered drink and sat there looking into its liquid depth.
“As you know Vincent is my older Brother, he moved out of home when I was about 11 years old and he was 16, therefore I was left in hell. My parents always argued, me being their topic of choice” I give a sigh “‘Mai always never listen to me’, ‘Mai never does this’, ‘Mai costs too much’, ‘she doesn’t do well at anything’ and other lovely things like that, so my parents got a divorce, they spent months arguing over ownership of me till I was 13 and then Vincent steps in and takes me into his care, pissing of our parents even more” I finish as I take a big sip of my tea, happy with its taste.
“I’m sorry” he says softly after a somewhat awkward silence.
“No need to apologise, It happen some time ago, so I no longer care” I simply say as I give Isshi a smile, he returns one as we finished out drinks. We walk out into the cool afternoon air.
“Hmmm, Isshi, is it me or does Miyavi seem to get this foul attitude when ever I’m with you?” I ask in wonder as Isshi also ponders on the thought.
“He does, he is probably jealous trusting him” Isshi says with a smile as we stop outside my apartment.
“Well I better go, see you tomorrow” I say as I hug Isshi and waltz into the silent abode. Vincent sat silently in the lounge room.
“Did you have fun?” he bitterly says with his arms cross. I give a sigh.
“Yes and stop being like this, I am old enough to look after myself. I’m not a two year old” I simply say as Vincent gives an angry growl.
“Why should I? You’re my younger sister and your seeing an older man” he snaps angrily as I felt anger throb inside me.
“Me and Isshi are friends, I am not dating him” I aggressively retaliate and then the phone rings. Vincent picks it up.
“Moshi Moshi” he says as he held back the anger in his tone. “What…alright you can stay here…Mai won’t eat you…Stop complaining and get your scrawny ass here…ok…see you then” Vincent hangs up and gives a sigh.
“Who was it?” I calmly say as I sit across from him. He glares but gives up. He gives a sigh.
“Miyavi, he kind of got kicked out of his apartment” Vincent says as I give him a funny look, trying not to laugh.
“How did he do that?” I ask as Vincent gives a small laugh.
“In his complaints, he said he got into a fight with his landlord over the condition of the place, since the landlord didn’t like his tone, he just said ‘pack your bags and get your rock ass out of his sight’” Vincent concludes as I broke into a fit of laughter.
“So he rang you and asks to gatecrash here for a while, right?” I presume as my brother nods his head. I laughed even harder until the door bell rang.
“I’ll get it” Vincent says as he disappears around the corner as I walk into the kitchen. A loud cheerful scream was heard in the entranceway, I give a smile as I manage to find a box full of Lychees. I sat at the bench and start to eat the sweet fruits as Miyavi comes bounding into the lounge room, with quite a few bags, closely followed by Vincent and the rest of Miyavi’s things.
“Mai help me” Vincent says as he collapses under the weight of the bags, I just simply sat there watching and eating more Lychee. Miyavi turns and looks at me.
“Mai-chan, nice to see you again” he says as he sits across from me. I smile sweetly at him. He seems more at ease then when I last saw him.
“Nice to see you too Miyavi-san, hope you made my brother suffer” I say as Miyavi lets out a laugh.
“I did, it was worth it in the end” he says as I tilt my head in wonder, Miyavi notices. “Don’t think too much on it” he says as he looks around. I stood up and walk around to stand next to Miyavi as I watch Vincent manage to crawl up to the lounge.
“I’ll show you your room for the time being” I say as I led Miyavi down the hallway and to the spare room. I open the second last door.
“You stay here” I say as Miyavi bounds into the room and jumps onto the bed. “I’m the last door down the hall, Vinny is to the other side of you” I simply say as he nods. “If you need anything, Ill be in my room” I say as I left the doorway and walk into my room. I flop onto my bed without changing and drift off to sleep.

[Miyavi’s POV]
I watch Mai walk out the door as Vincent walks in with my belongings.
“I prefer if you went with her than Isshi” he simply says as he places my bags on the floor and puts my guitar case next to me. I look up at the angry brother.
“Why do you say that?” I simply ask as I place my hands on my leg.
“Isshi is way too old for her and you seem more her type anyway” he states as he leans on the desk in the corner.
“It’s her own choice of who she wants to see and want to be with” I say as Vincent lets out a growl.
“I thought you would understand and help me” Vincent snaps as he leaves the room and closes the door behind him.
~I do understand and I do want to help, but how can I woo her? She is out of my league anyway~ I thought as I lay down and let sleep take over.
