Miku Hinasaki: Getting Her Life Back

Part 5

This chapter is going to be connected to the others only by a small part, it's from Kei's POV so it won't be as action packed etc. but with any luck it'll all build together and become a really good story.

P.S. The reason the chapters are so short is because I don't like changing POVS suddenly.

" Mio! Mayu!" Kei called up the stairs, " Come down and get your dinner, it's out on the table," Kei called up to his twin nieces. He adored Mio and Mayu, they'd been through so much it was amazing they could still stare him in the face and smile as happily as they did as they came down the stairs then.

"What is it today Uncle Kei?" Mio chimed, walking side by side with Mayu to the dining room,

" Today's special, so I thought I'd go all out and make a little bit of everything," he told them solemnly, which turned Mio's face the same,

" Oka-san's birthday," Mayu spoke, turning towards the two with a grin,

" Come on you two, don't be so sad, remember what she always said: Death is a part of life, we may grieve, but afterwards we should look at it as a happy thing and celebrate things to do with that person with a smile and not tears." Mio let out a small chuckle,

" You were always had a much better memory than me," she said to Mayu,

" Now come on, smile!" Mayu ordered before turning and carrying on into the dining room. Kei walked forwards and placed a hand on Mio's shoulder,

" She's right you know, your Oka-san always did said that. And I think it would be an insult to her memory not to live out her beliefs on today of all days," he said comfortingly to her before also heading to the dining room. Mio held back and walked slowly over to the cabinet beside the house entrance,

" I wish you were here…" she whispered as she gazed longingly at a photo of their mother beside a small stream in Minakami,

" I wonder if we can visit there some time… we used to go so many times when we were kids," Mio reminisced to herself, smiling, " So many good times, so much fun,"

"It was wasn't it?" came a voice from behind Mio. She spun round to see Mayu, who had come to check on her,

" Yeah, but he had to stop going when…" Mio trailed off, looking down at Mayu's bandaged leg,

" I don't blame you for it Mio, I never have and I never will," Mayu consolled her sister, " Now come on, Uncle Kei's made plates of food and I don't think he'd be happy if it all went to waste," she continued in a sing song voice, dragging Mio to the dining room where they ate happily with their Uncle for the next hour.

It was the evening now in the Amakura household, they were all in the living room. Mio & Mayu were watching t.v. but Kei was at his desk in the corner working away. Himself and his 2 friends Mafuyu Hinasaki & Yuu Asou were investigating into the mysteries of the mysteries and rumours behind the Himuro Mansion, All God's Village, but most importantly the Manor Of Sleep. They had divided their research equally between them by their individual preferences. He was studying the Village, Mafuyu had the Mansion and Yuu the Manor. They would meet a few times a month to discuss things as well as catch up with each other, as well as researchers they were friends first and foremost. Their next meet-up was in a weeks time, at Mafuyu's.

" Uncle Kei, will we be able to come with you to see Mafuyu and Yuu next week?" Mio asked, yanking Kei out of his work state,

" Huh? Oh, right. I'm sorry Mio but I'm going in the week and you have school. I'll be back for the end of the day as usual, but I'm afraid you can't come," he explained to her before returning to his work, only to be disturbed once more by the telephone,

" I'll get it," Mio offered, shooting to the other room for 15 seconds before calling back into the room for Kei,

" It's Yuu," she said before handing the phone to him.

" Yuu?" he asked down the phone as he put it to his ear,

" Kei, I have bad news," Yuu said to him, his voice thick with grief, something was very wrong,

" What is it Yuu, did something happen to Rei or-" Kei rambled before being interrupted by Yuu,

" Mafuyu's dead Kei," Kei's heart skipped a beat, he closed the door to the living room,

" Dead? But how? When?" he asked, his voice cracking,

" I don't know, his little sister Miku told me…something's wrong with her, whatever happened has left her seriously messed up. The house and Miku were a complete mess. So I took her back to mine and Rei's apartment and I went back to get some of her things, I thought she'd be fine with Rei… but I was wrong. She tried to drown herself Kei, in the bathtub," he finished off, losing his composure the more he spoke,

" Okay. I'm coming over tomorrow instead, but I'm gonna have to bring Mio and Mayu too," Kei told Yuu, his voice firm,

" I don't think it's a good idea to have Mio and Mayu around Miku," Yuu warned, but Kei wasn't having it,

" Look Yuu, these girls have lost both their parents and Mio almost lost Mayu. I'll explain the situation to them. They're smart, strong girls, they won't be broken by Miku. And the odds are that they'll probably want to go round the shopping districts instead of staying in while we discuss our current situation. Look, just don't worry, I'll make sure nothing bad happens," he reassured Yuu over the phone,

" Alright then. I'll see you tomorrow Kei," Yuu sighed before hanging up the phone. Kei placed the phone on the stand and returned to the living room to tell Mio and Mayu the news.
