Chapter 5 - Beginnings

Eyes stared at the pair through oval frames, Mayu only looked between the two, his eyes turned onto the white haired girl who sat next to Mori. "You need my help? Why?" Takashi looked at Mayu and she nodded while Kyoya raised a single eyebrow at them. "So you're going to tell me?" She nodded while she took in a deep breath and introduced herself.

"I'm Mayu Ishikawa," the name sparked the memory of the proposal that he had thrown out and neglected to decline because she offered nothing to the Ootori Family and bringing her grandmother along was not something he thought proper. "My mother is Selka Ishikawa of the Ishikawa Maple Company and I've threatened her twice now that I will end her life if she intereferes with mine. She threatened to tell Mori's parents what I really do and I encouraged her to do it. So now we need a way for it to seem that our relationship is perfectly fine and that my mother is the crazy delusional one so that we can still be together as friends or more. We haven't decided yet and I also fear for my Da's business. Selka only cares about money and will do anything to make sure my siblings are married into very rich families or get money from the maple company for them." Mayu looked between the two males once more, "Mori said that you were a friend who could help so..can you?"

"I'm not sure. I need to know the whole story before I'm able to help and I'm not sure I want to know the whole story."

"Please." He looked into those ruby eyes, "As Lady Amaterasu is my witness I will do whatever I can to repay you for this."

"Lady Amaterasu? You're a servant of the Sun Goddess?"

"Yes I am. All Ishikawa Maidens are supposed to be taught the ways of the preistess but over time that was restricted to those who were born resembling Lady Amaterasu. Because of that my four siblings were exempt from learning the ways of the priestess and I am the only one left as I resemble her the most."

"Hmm..." He thought for a minute while looking at Mori who looked down at Mayu, her face was concerned about the unknown future, and he wrapped one arm around her shoulder to pull her close. She thanked him quietly, "Tell me everything." Mori and Mayu both looked at him, she nodded, and began from the very beginning. The Ishikawa Maiden explained how she was raised by her grandmother, how her mother spoiled the four siblings, how the older ones were given more attention, she was neglected by her mother but her father tried however business ruled over that, how she saved her gifts from her father to build Shinging Grove Tea before it was taken down by her sisters; she even included the proposals and how Mori was her arranged marriage; she made sure to include her sisters ruining her business as well as her mother renouncing her, canceling the proposal, and that she left of her own volition so as not to be thrown out. When she finished, Kyoya was quiet as he processed the information with a stoic face, "I see. That's a lot to handle for someone that seems weak but you have an inner strength like most priestesses." Mayu shrugged, "What do you do now?" Mayu told him that she worked at Chateau Bunny and was saving as much money as she could to start her business up once again and that she was taking care of her grandmother because her mother had funneled the money for her grandmother's care into the trust fund of her daughters. "Hold it," he put up a hand. Mayu was quiet, "You said that your mother is taking money designated to the care of your grandmother into the trust funds of your older sisters. Is this correct?" The woman nodded, "Interesting." He scribbled it into his book, she glanced at it, looked at Mori, and he only shrugged while Mayu looked at Kyoya. "Well I'll go over this and see what I can do. What's your ultimate goal out of all this?"
