"Hi, my Japanese-Kazakh brother. How are things? How was the dance?" Ayusha asked his little bruv. "Heard you've got a girlfriend."

"I do, and I got into a fight with Daizo, the same guy, twice this school year. I even smacked the shit outta his henchmen he tried to sic me with. Guy's a fucking cronball."

"I knew you'd be able to hold your own. What are you eating?" Ayusha asked.

"Some free appetizers from Gabacho's. He gave me chips and salsa, karaage chicken, queso fundido with chorizo, some meatballs, Mexican pizza, and bacon-wrapped scallops. He gave me and Aokiya everything from the appetizer menu. Speaking of Aokiya, she fought this flat-assed whore named Pliny at the restaurant because the blonde bitch tried to flirt with me."

"Oh. A girl who can hold her own. Wonder if she could dominate you in bed? Just the thought," Ayusha said. 

"Likely. I could hear it now. 'Shut up and lemme fuck you!'" his little bruh laughed.

Ayusha is different from his brother in certain ways. Compared to Shikhiro, Ayusha listens to music but with an important message (positive or negative), along with electronica and classical; he doesn't like "party-club music." They are both big eaters, but compared to Shikhiro, who doesn't eat mustard, mayonnaise, raw veggies (except onion), or Miracle Whip, Ayusha eats mustard and mayo on his burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs, but said yellow condiment has to be strong, and raw vegetables (with ranch). Ayusha, unlike his brother, also eats whipped cream on his desserts and likes creamer and sugar in his coffee.

"So, what'd you have for dinner?" Shikhiro asked.

"An MRE. It consisted of meatballs and gravy, a jerky stick, some hardtack, cheese sauce, gum, orange drink and an M&Ms cookie. Right now, I'm eating a tuna-mayo rice ball that's been dipped in mustard."

Shikhiro dipped his chips in the queso fundido. "You ever go to Dan Miku's International Market at times? That place is huge! It has foods from every corner of the globe: Danish butter cookies, Greek olives, American biscuit dough... Place even has a food stand, where you can get kebab, Cajun etouffé..."

"It's very seldom I go; Miku's is somewhat pricey." Ayusha shoved the last of his onigiri in his face hole. "When I get a hankering for Dan's, I get a döner kebab, frites with honey mustard and joppiesaus, and onion rings."

Shikhiro started on his Mexican pizza. "I get the plain kebab with cheese, frites, and a Sakura Pepsi."

"I get a juice." Ayusha responded. "You going to college next year?"

"I might, but it'll be here in Sapporo; I don't wanna leave Aokiya behind." Shikhiro drank his second tamarind augas frescas (again, without ice). "I do wanna be an MMA fighter and have a career in store management."

Ayusha looked at his gold watch. "I have to go; I have night school. I want to spend time with you someday. Till then, I'll see you later."

"See you, brother." Shikhiro cut off the Messenger call and went to eating his bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers.

This is Ayusha:
