A/N: From the very beginning I told you guys that this was a series of one-shots that revolve around a plot, so if the chapters don’t seem to be related then you know why.

Chapter 36: The Impertinence
“What time did you say Gina was coming to pick you up?” Shuichi asked from the kitchen.
“Around eight,” Maiko answered her older brother from the living room without taking her eyes from the monitor of her laptop. “‘Then what makes you say that you’re bi?’” she read silently. A scowl twisted her features that were so like her brother’s people mistook them for twins. Her mouth was set in a grim line.
“What?”
Startled, Maiko jumped at the sound of her brother’s voice. “Thanks,” she said, taking the black lacquered teacup he was holding out to her. The character “koi” was emblazoned on the side of the handled mug in bright, bold red. “Nothing. Talking to myself.” She brought the mug to her lips. The steam rising from the tea engulfed her face. Blowing on it in an effort to cool it down so she didn‘t singe her tongue, she then took a sip.
Shuichi lowered himself onto the sofa behind her and took a sip of his tea. His mug was identical to the one her sister was using, except for one small detail. Instead of “koi”, the kanji character “hito” was emblazoned on the side of the mug in bold red. “Getting any answers?” he teased.
“Ha. Ha,” Maiko said dryly.
Shuichi snickered.
“What kind of tea is this?” she asked, gazing hypnotically into the liquid.
“Uhm.” Shuichi scratched his head. “Masala chai I think.”
Maiko nodded. “It’s good.”
“Isn’t it?”
Grabbing a coaster from the center of the coffee table, Maiko set her mug on the black cotton square their mother had personally handmade for Shuichi and Eiri. Turning back towards her laptop, she used the scroll button to move the cursor and hit the reply button. Settling her fingers over the keyboard, her fingers flew over the keys. “You don’t have to sleep with someone to be attracted to them. Though it’s none of your business, I haven’t slept with anyone, men or women. Not all of us are ruled by our libidos.” Her short but to the point message finished, she clicked the send button. Grabbing her mug, she sat back and took a sip of her tea. Her knuckles turned white as she tightened her grip around the mug. The nerve of that bastard. Who they hell did he think he was? “I knew I should’ve answered,” she muttered angrily.
As Shuichi took another sip of his tea, his eyes landed on the screen of his sister’s laptop. “Who’s that?” he inquired.
Pulled out of her thoughts of murder, Maiko tipped her head back to gaze at her brother upside down. “What?”
Shuichi lifted his chin at the image on the screen. It was a picture of a man who was clearly not of Japanese descent. The man appeared to be standing at a counter top in front of rather large mirror with a camera in his hand.
Dropping her head back down, she followed her brother’s line of sight to her laptop. Her dark brown eyes that she had inherited from her father landed on the picture her brother was indicating. She scowled. “Terry.” The name out as a curse.
Shuichi cocked an eyebrow. “And who is he?”
Maiko rolled her eyes at her brother’s tone. “Some dude I’ve been communicating with online.”
“Hm.” Shuichi settled back on the sofa with the mug warmed from the tea hugged between his hands.
Her frustration getting the better of her, she spun around. “Ya know what that asshole said?” she barked.
Shuichi was not sure what to think of his baby sister communicating with some strange guy from halfway around the world, but the blatant anger that twisted her beautiful features and hardened her voice as she spoke about him had his lips twitching. He hid his smirk behind his mug. His face hardened once again. If that asshole did something to hurt her, he swore by all that was holy that he would hunt the bastard down to the ends of the world. “What?”
“He asked me if I’d ever slept with a woman before.”
Shuichi’s eye twitched. He was not sure he wanted to know about his baby sister’s sex life. The less he knew the better.
“Of course, I haven’t so I said no.”
Shuichi blinked. “Wait. What? You and Gina haven’t…?”
Maiko tossed her brother a disgusted scowl. “Please! What do you take me for? We’ve only been together a couple of months.”
“So?”
“So?” She scoffed. “Big brother…”
“What?”
“Just because you being the slut that you are slept with Mr. Yuki after knowing him one day-”
“Hey! I resent that! It was more like a week.”
Maiko cocked an eyebrow.
His face a blaze with embarrassment, Shuichi slouched down on the sofa and took a sip of his tea.
“Yeah, I did not need to know that.” Maiko turned her back to her brother and settled back against the front of the sofa. “Anyway, I wrote back saying I haven’t slept with a woman before and he answered back asking how I knew that I was bi then. Jerk,” she added.
“…Oh. Kay.” Shuichi was not sure what to think about that. Apparently, the guy had insulted her. Though, he wondered if that was his intent. Since he had not read the messages she received from this Terry guy, he could not say for sure either way.
A buzzing sound caught their attention.
Maiko reached for her phone that was in the process of dancing towards the edge of the table. She flipped it open and read the text message. “Gina’s here.”
“Cool. Invite her up,” he suggested.
Maiko studied her brother over her shoulder through narrowed eyes. “What are you up to?”
Shuichi looked down at her innocently. “Nothing.”
“Uh huh.” Using the table as leverage, she pushed to her feet and crossed the condominium to the front door to go meet her girlfriend. “You’d better behave yourself,” she warned.
“Always.”
She glanced over her shoulder at her brother silently for several long moments.
Shuichi grinned.
Maiko snorted. She muttered, “Whatever,” as she slid out of her slippers. “By the way,” she continued as she stepped into a pair of low-heeled boots.
“Yeah?”
Maiko zipped her boots up. Straightening, she questioned, “Is that Mr. Yuki’s teacup I‘m using?”
“What? Oh, yeah! Aren’t they cute?”
Maiko rolled her eyes. “Nauseatingly.”
Shuichi giggled.
“I’ll be right back,” she called as she stepped out into the hall.

Preview: “The Problem with Dear Myself”
A/N: This “Terry” that Maiko is communicating with online is based on true events, right down to the questions he asked. BTW, if you’re wondering about the teacups, the kanji “koi” and “hito” are the characters that make up “koibito”. They’re supposed to be a matching set. And I’m warning you now, the next chapter I sort of…go off an a tangent about the manga “Dear Myself”.
On another note, are you guys into vampires, but hate “Twilight”? Want to see a movie where vampires are actually vampires? My father’s movie production company, Red Scream, has a movie called, “Vampyres”, coming out On-Demand on a number of cable systems in October. It’s “anti-twilight”, “more European 60s vampire horror. Lots of blood and nudity,” as my dad put it. So check it out…if you dare!
