Chapter Eight
1420 Words
I left Yui at the Mukami manor when I returned home. It’s great having my brothers to myself again. However, Ayato has been out looking for her. I’ve also been closely watched by my brothers lately. I’m pretty sure it’s because they don’t want me disappearing on them again. They say I can still go to the bar, but only if at least one of them accompanies me. Sometimes I wonder how I was seriously dumb enough to get caught doing that. I kinda miss going there on my own, but maybe I can make them join me onstage. That might be fun.
I skip down the hall, humming to myself as I barge into Laito’s room. He looks at me from his bed, where he was reading.
Laito: “Hello Kitten.”
I hop up onto his bed and straddle his lap, making him smirk.
Miki: “Lai-nii, I want to go do karaoke with you. Won’t you please join me?”
He embraces me, kissing my neck before responding to my request.
Laito: “Alright, Kitten, I’ll go with you.”
He brings his hand up, caressing my cheek and pulls me into a kiss, before I hop off his lap and drag him out of the house.
When we arrive at the bar, Asano is up onstage and waves to me.
Asano: “Alright everyone, I’m going to kick off tonight.”
He performs Royalty. He never took his eyes off of me while he was singing, which made Laito growl. He led me to a table, and people stopped me along the way to greet me, much to his displeasure. When we sit down, he pulled his phone out and sent a text before his full focus was on me. Asano came over to us once he finished his song.
Asano: “Hey Miki, where have you been hiding?”
Miki: “Oh you know, just spending time with my brothers. Enjoying my life.”
Asano makes a move to give me a hug, but is stopped abruptly when someone else swoops in and hugs me.
Ayato: “Hey sis, yours truly missed you.”
Miki: “Ayato-nii, what are you doing here?”
Ayato: “Yours truly has decided to spend some time with you. You may thank me now.”
Miki: “Well, I missed you too.”
Laito: “So who exactly are you, to think you could touch my Little Kitten?”
I see Laito and Ayato glaring at Asano.
Asano: “Oh, you two must be her brothers. She has told me about you.”
I get up and step between Asano and my two brothers.
Miki: “Ayato-nii, Laito-nii, this is Asano, the owner of this bar and a good friend of mine. There is nothing going on between us.”
Laito: “I would hope so. Just why were you watching our sister while you were singing?”
Asano: “No real reason. I just remembered, I have some stuff to take care of in the back. See you later, Miki.”
Miki: “Yeah, see ya.”
He leaves, and my brothers take their seats. I mentally groan at their antics. Apparently, I can’t even have a guy friend around them.
Miki: “Looks like it’s my turn, I’ll be back in a minute.”
Ayato: “Do your best for yours truly.”
Laito: “Have fun onstage, Kitten. If that guy knows what’s best for himself, he won’t dare touch you again.”
Miki: “Of course not.”
I run up onto the stage and sing So What while watching my brothers the whole time, making sure they don’t go after Asano. They never even take their eyes off of me. Once I finish, I run back to my brothers and Ayato goes up, after they both compliment my singing. He sings Addicted (2) Phantom. When Ayato returns, Laito goes up to perform Bloody Sabbath.
I perform once more, singing Confident. When I return to my brothers, Asano comes over to our table, sitting across from me, because Ayato and Laito are on either side of me.
Asano: “I guess Miki isn’t the only one in the family with talent.”
Miki: “No, but I happen to be the best when it comes to singing.”
Ayato: “You wish you were as good as yours truly, Miki.”
Laito: “As if, Ayato-nii, Kitten is definitely better than you when it comes to singing.”
Miki: “Maybe I shouldn’t have brought you here. This argument could take a while.”
Asano: “Heheh, Miki, you failed to mention how funny your brothers can be.”
Miki: “Never a dull moment with them.”
Laito: “So, Asano, was it?”
Asano: “Yes,”
Laito: “What exactly happens here? Why does everyone know our sister?”
Asano: “Oh, Miki is the crowd favorite when it comes to everyone who sings here.”
A random guy walks up to our table. I’m pretty sure he is a regular here.
?: “Hey Miki, do you remember me?”
Miki: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember your name. What was it again?”
Yuichi: “It’s Yuichi.”
Miki: “Oh right. What do you want, Yuichi?”
Yuichi: “Not much, just another shot at possibly getting your number. You always look so sexy in your element up there. I want to take you out to dinner some time.”
Miki: “Well, Yuichi, I can’t hel-”
Ayato: “She’s not interested.”
Laito: “I’d run now if I were you.”
Yuichi: “Hey, I wasn’t talking to you two. I was talking to Miki. Why don’t you two scram?”
Ayato and Laito are glaring at him now and Asano walks up to Yuichi.
Asano: “Yuichi, this is your third strike. I’m going to have to ask you to leave. You’ve bothered Miki one too many times.”
Yuichi: “As if. She may not know it yet, but Miki is going to be my girl soon.”
I stand up and glare straight into his eyes.
Miki: “Listen here, jerk. I will never be yours. Now if I were you, I’d leave, before my brothers decide to remove you themselves.”
Yuichi: “You’re so cute Miki. Your brothers couldn’t remove me if they tried.”
I giggle as I hear my brothers growl. I’m just surprised they are holding back so much right now, although it’s probably because there are so many witnesses here.
Miki: “You know what, follow me, Yuichi. We are going outside for a minute.”
Yuichi: “I knew you’d come around, babe.”
I take his hand and lead him out the back door, winking at my brothers who are so livid right now. Once we are outside, I shove him up against the side of the building.
Yuichi: “Woah babe, you must like being in control. But I’d rather be in control here.”
Miki: “Well, isn’t that just too bad for you?”
I smirk as I punch him in the gut, making him groan and bend over. I let go, letting him collapse, and my brothers appear, taking over for me.
Ayato: “How dare you flirt with Miki in front of yours truly.”
Laito: “You’re going to suffer for that.”
I lean against the side of the building while enjoying the tortured screams of that annoying prick as he suffers at the hands of just two of my sadistic brothers. They are about to kill him, but I put a hand on both of their shoulders, making them turn to me.
Laito: “What is it, Miki?”
Miki: “I have an idea that you might want to hear.”
Ayato: “What?”
Miki: “Why not put this filth in the dungeons and let our brothers know about the situation. That way he’ll suffer even more.”
They smirk and agree with me. Ayato summons a familiar to take Yuichi to our dungeon while we go home and meet with all of our brothers.
Miki: “And that’s why we brought him here.”
Reiji: “Death would be too merciful for this disgusting thing. He is going to suffer for a long time.”
The others agree with Reiji and I smirk.
Miki: “I knew you’d see it my way.”
