"5.30am! 5.30am! It's time for all the mansion workers to wake up!" A voice through the mansion speaker's sounded.
Hinamori Momo yawned as she got up from her bed, ready to start another day as a maid in the 'Hitsugaya mansion'. To some waking up this early was impossible, but to the maids and butlers in this mansion, it was a daily routine. The workers in the mansion slept in large rooms with rows of double-decker beds, a wall divided the maid's dorm from the butler's dorm.
"Rangiku-san, wake up. We have to start our work Rangiku-san." Momo shook her friend, that slept on the bed next to hers, in an attempt to wake her up.
"Alright…Alright…" Matsumoto Rangiku replied her friend. "You're always so energetic." Matsumoto continued as she let out a yawn.
Both the girls got dressed into their maids uniform, ready to prepare breakfast for the Hitsugaya family and do their chores.
"Oh My Gosh. Master Toshirou is really hot! Let's excuse his height but other than that he's really good-looking!" Squeled a maid that sat behind Momo.
The workers were having their lunch break, and Momo could not help but hear what her co-worker said. She had heard about this good-looking "Hitsugaya Toshirou" but she had never seen him. More like, she could not see him. Momo could not even clean or step foot into the wing where this Hitsugaya Toshirou stayed, neither was she to ever speak with him, come into contact with him, she herself did not know why, but she did know that all her other co-workers weren't allowed to tell her anything about 'Master Toshirou'. Among all her co-workers she was the only one who had never met Master Toshirou as their boss had introduced each and every one of the workers to the members of the Hitsugaya family, Momo was an exception, she was introduced to every Hitsugaya family member but not to Toshirou. Even her best friend, Matsumoto, was not allowed to speak about him to Momo. She found this very strange but never had she questioned any of the rules or warnings her boss had set for her.
As for working in the Hitsugaya Mansion, Momo never knew the reason why. It was not that she herself wanted to work as a maid, it was because she was forced. All Momo could ever remember was the faint image of a woman dropping her off at this mansion while whispering something to her boss's ear before leaving. From that day on her fate was sealed, she could not leave the Hitsugaya Mansion, she had to stay there, not being able to take one step towards the outside world for it meant that a great deal of punishment would be brought upon her. Momo was treated different from any other worker in the mansion, all the other workers could leave the mansion once their shift was up but had to return once the clocked reach 10pm, whereas she could not. On public holidays the workers were able to go back to see their family and come back the next day, but she could not. Thus Momo spent each holiday alone by herself, confined to the mansion which she had to force herself to call home.
"Finally, I'm finished." Momo said to herself as she wiped the sweat drops off her head.
She was the only was the only one in the mansion at this time, her fellow co-workers had gone out to party to celebrate one of their friends birthday, Matsumoto who could not resist parties left her friend in the lonely mansion, thus she forced herself to finish any extra chores left.
Momo walked back to the worker wing wanting to change into her sleeping clothers. When suddenly,
Thump
She had bumped into someone, someone she had never seen before.
He's definately not a worker, I've never seen any of my co-workers with white hair and was this good-looking. She thought to herself.
"I'm so so sorry." Momo apologized as she bowed towards the stranger.
"It's nothing." He replied coldly.
"Ano…Who are you, I'm afraid I haven't seen you in this mansion before." Momo asked nervously.
The boy raised his eyebrows at the girl that was frozen in fear.
"Hitsugaya Toshirou, aren't you suppose to kno- " Hitsugaya was then interrupted by Momo.
"Hontou ni gomen Master Toshirou . Please. Please. Forgive me. I beg you." Momo shouted as she knelt down apologizing profusely to the one person she was never suppose to meet.
"What? It's just a bump, you don't need to make a big fuss out of it you know?" Hitsugaya replied rudely to the girl.
"Gomen da sai. Hontou ni gomen. " Momo replied as she got up and ran away from the confused boy.
Hitsugaya just stared as the maid ran away from him. Never had a maid begged for forgiveness for just bumping into him.
Who is she? It's almost as if she didn't want to see me. I've never seen her before, and I doubt Father has introduced me to her. Why was she even here, weren't all the workers gone to celebrate some stupid party. Hitsugaya thought to himself.
"Father, there's this maid with brunette hair and ties her hair in a bun, I haven't seen her before neither have you introduced me to her. Is she new or something?" Hitsugaya asked while eating his watermelon.
His father's eyes widened, not with shock but with anger.
"Oh, her? I don't know. Well, you should probably ignore her anyway. Don't even talk to her anymore. She's nobody." His father replied crudely.
"Hmn…" Hitsugaya mumbled to himself as he realized his father's suspicious behaviour.
