Broken Puzzle

A couple of minutes have passed, and we finally arrive at my families hut. "Welcome Rai! It's been awhile since we last seen each other." greets my mother. Rai Chan gives my mother a warm smile, exposing her pearly white teeth. But that's very odd of her to do so. "Hello Aunt Daitan!" she says. My mother gives Rai Chan a confuse stare. I pretty much have a clue of why she would be confused. Rai Chan has always greeted us with a warm hug, but my mother got a warm smile. "Um...Well this must be the handsome husband of yours." my mother claims. "Indeed I am! My name is Benitt James, nice to meet you Mrs. Tanaka." James says eagerly. "Likewise! Well do come in and have some tea." my mother politely order. Everyone begins to walk in. "Mother, where is father and Itsuki?" I ask. Mother gives me a frighten look as if I said something I shouldn't. For some strange reason mother have been on guard ever since she seen Rai Chan. "Rai Chan, would you like to go upstairs and have a little chat?" I ask. "NO!...No, our guest needs to eat dinner first Mizuki." she states. What in the world is going on with my mother!? She's getting more and more hostile to Rai Chan and James. What is her deal? "Okay? Rai Chan and Ja--- Benitt follow me." I order. As we are walking I noticed James whispering something to Rai Chan. I wonder what it is? Probably about my mother's behavior. "Mizuki, go upstairs and get me the napkins in the hallway closet" she demands. I start to head up the stairs than "BOOM!" I freeze at the top of the stairs. Then I ran downstairs. Please don't be nothing bad! Please be a broken plate or cup! I reach to where Rai Chan is and I quickly fell to my knees. "NO!"
