Chapter 1 - The Daughterly Maid

Orange maple leaves fell from the trees, the wind toyed with them as they floated to the ground, a traditional wooden broom was being used to push them into piles, to clear the stone path. The broom was moved in motions that were repeated so many times that it had become perfection, the bamboo handle was held by delicate hands that had seen too much work but were still soft in the morning light. Those hands traveled up only partially before being shrouded in a dark green kimono that held light green leaf patterns all over it, the obi was a light brown satin with a cream vine pattern woven into it, the underlayers were only two and they were dark brown followed by a paler brown. A loosely plaited white braid sat against the shoulder and upper torso of the lithe figure, it trailed up to the heart shaped face, and two crimson irises, matched with shimmering coral lips, followed the motions of the broom. Light humming emitted from the young woman, the path had been cleaned, she turned to go, but took one last look at the morning light that shone between the trees. She smiled, those rubies twinkled, and the young woman headed inside to prepare breakfast for the others that were still sleeping on such a wonderful day.

There were many plates, each one held a sunny side up egg placed on a ham steak that was placed on top of lettuce and it all sat on a slice of toast. It was accompanied by a bowl of steaming rice, a cup of coffee, and a smaller bowl of miso soup. The young woman placed her own dish on the table, it was much more simple than the others, just a bowl of rice with pieces of yam and black seasme seeds in it, and a bowl of miso soup; it was accompanied by a cup of oolong tea and another set of the same was placed next to her own. Then she proceeded to clean all of the dishes that were used, prepared the rice pot for dinner, and waited for the others to awaken. The moment that the lid on the rice pot was secured, there were foot steps heard, her ruby orbs watched as the family filed in for breakfast that day, just like every other day, and no one said a word to her. She was invisible amongst the five children, a ghost, but she was acknowledged by only two people in the household.

An elderly woman took her seat, she watched as the young girl sat down next to her, the knarled fingers of the older one squeezed the soft hands of the younger one. "Thank you for this Mayu."

Mayu smiled, "You're welcome Gammy." The older woman smiled, she clapped her hands together as did Mayu, and she whispered, "We thank you for watching over us Lady Amaterasu. Please give my grandmother her good health and let today be another shining day." Gammy smiled and the pair began to eat while the others had already started, Mayu's eyes always roamed over her siblings, two sets of twins. She looked at the first set, the older ones, who held the same blond hair color as her mother and green eyes, Rosette and Colette, spoiled to no end and arrogant too. Then she turned her eyes onto the younger set of twins, they held the auburn color of her father but held those green eyes of her parents, Valia and Talia, they act like they're little princesses. She began to eat her food while her grandmother smiled at her, the older woman held the same white hair but had blue eyes, and Mayu smiled at her Gammy. "I'm alright."

"You do this every morning." Mayu chuckled, "This is the Ishikawa life of those who appear as the latest incarnation of our great Lady Amaterasu. But you have it far worse than I ever did even if I was married into the family, I never had siblings." Mayu only smiled at her grandmother as they began to eat in peace, the two sets of twins pretended that she wasn't there but her grandmother leaned over, "I have an arrangement that I need to speak to you about later." The middle child nodded as they proceeded to eat their breakfast in silence once more until it was broken by her father's voice.
