Chapter 2 - Tall, Silent, and Old Fashioned

Many days passed before Mayu was able to meet her future husband, she wasn't sure what he was like or what his appearance was but she didn't care because it meant getting Sakura away from her siblings. Her red eyes pulled on the two light yellow under layers of cloth, then she wrapped on her darker yellow kimono that was sparsely littered with maple leaves. Her satin obi consisted of dark purples with a lavender threading throughout, once it was twisted in the front, she slipped on her sandals, and headed downstairs to prepare for the morning. The path had been swept clean, the breakfast made, and she took her seat with Sakura next to her. Once more she gave the same prayer and her siblings rolled their eyes at her until Valia spoke up, "A little birdy told us that you're going to be married maid." Mayu only nodded, "It's probably going to be some wrinkly old guy!" The siblings laughed together while her mother only focused on her tablet, she was working constantly and didn't pay attention to the children.

Aiden slammed his cup on the table, the girls looked at him, his eyes were angry, "Stop teasing your sister. She is the middle child and the first of the Ishikawa Maidens to be married off at her own request. The family that agreed is meeting with us today so be on your best behavior!" They muttered affirmatives to him while he nodded and looked over at Mayu, "Don't do anything different than you usually do. Just be yourself."

"I know." He smiled at her and nodded while they returned to eating, it finished without any more interruptions, and she immediately began to work on those tea cookies but without the syrup, she put blueberry tea into the mix instead, and watched as they baked. Once they finished she set them aside, and prepared her special tea pot for guests; once it was set up, it was also set aside, and she went out in the morning to thank each tree. When she entered the morning light, she smiled, her hair was spiraled into a bun that sat on the left side of her neck, it was held in place with ribbons, and a special decorative comb. She waltzed through the path that took her by the largest maple trees, each one she told them that she would be leaving but wasn't sure when, and thanked them for their wonderful gifts. At this time she reached the Ancient, once more she wrapped her arms around his girth, and thanked him; she leaned her back against his trunk, and gazed up at the sky. "I'm anxious about today. I've never met anyone other than Da's business partners so this is going to be interesting. I hope I won't be late but then I never got a time from Da." She sighed but kept that smile as she looked up at the sky, "I wish you could come walk with me Ancient but you are unable to. Lady Amaterasu, please give Ancient and his brethren the protection they deserve as they have provided for the Ishikawa Family. They are my friends and I shall never forget them." She touched her fingers to her crimson lips then to the tree once more, today she opted to wear the simple sleek dark red lip stick that her grandmother had chosen for her. she matched it with golden eyeshadow and brown tints.

Mayu took the other path that would lead her past the rest of the trees as well as the main path, she patted each tree, and was unaware that her father's guests had arrived early to see the estate. A tall male with dark hair and dark eyes spotted her from the path, he watched with interest as she patted each tree, and thanked it for providing for her family. He paused on the walkway as the rest of his family continued onward, he watched, transfixed by her actions. Once she finished with the trees, he continued on his way, and caught up with the rest. She glanced at the path but saw no one there, she blinked a few times and shrugged, the moment that she entered the house from the side yard, she was pushed against the wall by her older siblings. Rosette glared at her while Colette held a pair of scissors.
