Sun shines brighter on the other sides (Gackt and manamie )

Mash lay on his couch just as he had for several months he didn't wnt to go out nor move from his flat yet with his fridge emptying out hs be decided he ahd no coice but to go shopping. grabbing his coat and rubbed his stubbled chin and moved to the door but he paused he was frozen to the spot scared that if he left he would see her and lose his heart again to some one else who would hurt him like Hyde had he sat back down on the chouch his head in his hands " I can't do it I just can't" he sid over and over.

Gackt looked to his cousin."Now don't worry mana, he wont throw things at you or bite i promise, he's jsut been so drepessed he needs someone like you to get him out of it, merlin knows abby and i have tried a thousand times ourselves." mana nodded her head."allright, for masharasan's sake then."she said softly as she walked the steps along with gackt up to mash's place. "OPen the door you baka!"he yelled at mash.

Mash heqrd Gackts voice and groaned his eyes closing over " go away Gackt and tell you sister she broke my heart " he said trying not to brake down as he spoke but then he sighed " its open" he said softer he could never deny Gackt his one true freind threw out his life . he slipped off his jacket and threw it over the back of chair then lay down his back facing outward as he staired at the well worn cloth of his couch. hearing them eter he spoke softly " what do you want Gackt?" he said 2 I am not going to pubs with you just to pick up girls I dont need them, right now i just want to be alone."

Gackt shook his head and turned to his cousin."sorry manamie, he's in one of his moods.."he yelled at the door againas he opened."You baka, first off i and abby have sufficently told off hydeiko who is in hideing now because obachan is on the war path. "he then gently lead his cousin in."No im not taking you to a pub, you shouldnt talk like this infront of such a delicate woman such as my cousin, she'll think you have no manners."he then walked his cousin towards mash."Manamie this baka is named mash but then you do remeber him do you not?."he wacked mash on the shoulder."Baka, this is manamie my cousin, she heard what hyde did to you and feels bad for you and wanted to see how you are, i dont know why she feels bad after the way youve been acting towards people, i hope she wacks you."he said matter of factly as manamie gently tapped his shoulder."do not act like you are dieing mashara-san , life is often difficult but it does get better?"

Mash closed his eyes and siging as he turned to face her and gackt, " still feels like I am " he said softly his hand brushing threw his hair as he looked at the then up at gackt and manamie he looked puzzled as he spoke " this is manamie, can't be that tom boy that chased us and climbed trees with us and who we use to pull her pigtails ?" he asked " no...no can't be , she..she is too cute to be her" he stopped "sorry" he said softly as he sat back and looked at Gackt " nope she's in japan still, your just trying to make me feel better Gackt"

Gackt frowned at hit mash once more on the shoulder."Baka! don't be so insulting this is too manamie, amd she was allways very pretty even for a tom-boy back then, besides that..you were just mad she allways beat you at everything, and yes we used to pull her pig tails, but as i recall did she not beat us a few times for that?" mamnaie stuck out her tongue at mash."Call me cute one more time and ill stuff obachans dumplings up your nose! does that prove that its me or not mash?"she said with a laugh. gackt grinned at his cousina nd his friend."No im not , thats her and at least she hasnt called you fish face yet."

Mash felt him hit his shoulder " ouch!" he said rubbing it he looked at her " so why did she come here ?" he asked looking at her as he stood up and moved to the bed room " sorry, i need to change my shirt " he said, moving forward he slipped off his shirt and they all saw how thin he had become as he took a clen shirt from his draw looking at it he slipped it on " Im sorry manamie,things just haven't been the same, though i might not show it i guess i am glad your here , and please no dumplings " he said looking at her.

Gackt shook his head again at mash."She came here to help abby with the children, abby has just been so very tired and as delicate natured as she is i did not want her to become too fatigued , so she said she would come and help especially now that catherine is being more of an active baby."mamanie looked at mash and felt even more sorry for him when he excused himself to get a clean shirt on. she smiled when he returned."It's allright mashara i understand you've been through great diffculty and it will take some time to get through, thank you for being glad, and i promise no more dumplings..i just had to say it so you knew it was me, i know i've changed a lot but surely not that much?"

Mash sighed and nodded " yeah, Gackt can tell you" he said and looked closer at her " yes you have , you don't have your pigtails " he said giving a slight smile at her as he sat down on his couch to look at them " please sit down, its hurting my neck looking up at you both" he said he kicked an empty bottle of fire whisky under the couch and looked around his flat he saw it was a mess " sorry about the mess " he said " I noticed last time she came around she looked tired, mamanie if you don't mind the mess i have a spare room " he looked at her " thats if you want to stay in the same flat as a depresed man" he said looking at her.

Manamie nodded and sat down next to mash as he asked them to sit."Well at out age it would be silly of me to keep wearing pig tails would it not?"gackt sat down on the arm of the couch."Manamie has been working as a dance teacher in our home town, she's been teaching the tradtional dances and how to tap dance as well, plus she also teaches the little ones karate as well."she turned to mash again."No that is fine, i dont mind mind the mess as you recall my brothers are far worse then you were, though i cannot say the same for gackt as he was allways the cleanest of us all."she gently patted mash's hand."I will stay with you mashara, as i know gackt's house is full up plenty and also i could use the company."
