ENJOY! XD
When one door closes, another opens;
but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door
that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
I am looking outside the window, watching in awe as we pass the busy streets and towering buildings of Tokyo. For someone who was born and raised at the countryside, this is, certainly, a rare sight for me. All my life I believed that the world is full of farmlands and grass fields, but, here I am amazed at my own stupidity.
Just as when I was about to close my gaping mouth, the expensive car (I know it's expensive since first, it's fast, as in really fast, second it's chairs are comfy, third, I didn't even know such a sleek car existed, and lastly, on our way here, the people tried to steal glances of it) I am in came to a halt in front of a huge gate. A man, who I guessed is a security guard because of the uniform he's wearing, approached us and looked inside the car. He talked to one of the men, who picked me up, and nodded before looking at me. I smiled at him and he nodded as a sign of acknowledgement, perhaps. He stepped back and went towards the gate. He pushed a button and the most amazing sight I've seen since I arrived here in Tokyo stood before me.
I can't believe my eyes. From the gate, which is a kilometer away, I can already see the humongous manor that stands proudly in the middle of a 250 hectare land at Tokyo's most expensive district. While the car was nearing the mansion, I caught sight of golf course at my right and various sport courts i.e. basketball court, tennis court, soccer field, baseball field, and so on at my left. I can see small a racing car track from a distance. God! Even Go Jun Pyo's house (Boys Before Flowers) is nothing compared to this.
I spent the rest of the ride, not that it was that long, drooling at the different structures we passed by. The car took a turn around a fountain before coming to a halt. The house I saw a kilometer away is now in front of me and if it looked huge from the gate, then, hell, it's even bigger at close proximity. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that the 1,000 people from my village can fit here because they surely will.
The four-storey glass wall house is painted white and is the perfect stage for luxury living and contemporary tastes. It looks like those modern houses you see on televisions, except that it is a lot larger and with exquisite design.
Before I forget, I am Mikan Sakura. I am sixteen years old. When I was a year old, my parents died from a car accident and my grandfather took me in. According to him, my mom was disowned by her family, for no apparent reason or so I've heard. My dad's mom and also my granddad's wife, on the other hand, passed away while giving birth to my father. My dad was the only son and therefore, my grandfather is the only relative I have. Well, that was until last month. As some of you might have guessed, my beloved grandpa passed away because of old age. Before he died, he told me to contact Tamaki Suoh and told me to give him his letter.
A week after his death and a day after his burial, I sent the letter to the address grandpa gave me. I was too depressed to go Tokyo. Who wouldn't be?
For a month, I waited for a response but nothing came. I was starting to believe that the man no longer remembers my grandpa, or maybe, he remembers, but he just doesn't have time to bother with his letter, when, suddenly, two men in black came knocking at my door. They told me they there on Tamaki SUoh-"sama's" orders and that Tamaki-"sama" wants me to go with them. As a proof they showed me the letter I sent and another letter from the man in question.
It reads:
To Mikan-chan:
My condolences on your grandfather's death. I'm really saddened to hear about what happened to him. He is practically my father. He took care of me even before my grandmother acknowledged me. He is one of reason I am able to become who I am now. How I wish I was present during his funeral, but, because my secretary regarded his letter as one of those solicitation ones which are often sent to me, it was forwarded to the Solicitations Department. It was because of my beloved and wonderful wife that this letter reached me. She was looking at the Solicitation Letters when she saw your grandpa's name, since, my Haruhi (that's my wife's name) knew him from second the Suoh Mansion, she handed it to me. She's really wonderful, isn't she? She knows how much I treasure people. I wonder where she is. I miss her already, even if we have just parted awhile ago. HEHEHE! We've been married for twenty years already. I love her more each day. She's a lawyer, by the way. She's the owner of HFS Law Firm. You know? The biggest law firm in the country. She's wonderful. No wonder she gave birth to the best son in the world.
He's Natsume Hyuuga Suoh. He didn't inherit both our looks and many are wondering if he's really our son. He got his mom's and my brains, and therefore, he's a genius. WAHAHAHA! He's also good looking, After all, he's our son.
These two men in black picking you up are my family's men. Rest assured. They won' do anything bad to you and they'll surely protect you. FYI, they are the best in the country. Don't forget to pack everything. See you at the Suoh Mansion this evening.
Love.
PAPA TAMAKI.
I looked at the two men and gave them a questioning look. They looked back at me with the same face and I showed them the letter. They read it and started laughing.
"That's typical of him." The taller man said after regaining his composure.
I looked at them for awhile before inviting them inside my humble home. They settled themselves with my wooden sala set. I offered them a glass of juice but they declined. Without a second thought, I started packing my things. Even if I don't really know who this Tamaki Suoh is, I know grandpa won't leave me in someone bad's hands and the man seems kind and even if those two men who came to pick me up look scary, they are actually nice. I took all of my clothes and other important belongings and placed them inside my only luggage bag. I grabbed my grandpa's picture and placed it on top of my things before zipping the bag.
I went out of my room with my bag and immediately the bald man came and took it from my hand.
And after five long hours, here, I am now, getting some of my things which were scattered in the car's backseat. The same man who took my bag opened the door for me, while the other man took my luggage from the compartment.
As soon as I got out, screeches echoed behind me. I looked at my back and for the millionth time today, I found myself gaping. Behind me were the four coolest cars I've seen in my entire life. Four gorgeous guys came out of the cars. A red haired woman, who I recognized as the actress who starred in a blockbuster movie, is clinging to a blonde man with spiky hair, who stands at around 6 feet, while a black haired girl, who can easily win Ms. Japan's title, is holding hands with another blonde man who I guessed is the former's twin, well duh, they look exactly alike, except for the hairstyle that is, the latter's is less spiked than his twin's and he's slightly shorter, maybe around 5 feet and 11 inches.
Another blonde man whose hair parts in the middle and whose eyes show off an ocean blue color is talking to a raven haired guy who is holding a soccer ball on his left hand. Both are of the same height and are slightly taller than the first of the twins. They tower at a height of 6 feet and 2 inches.
"Hey Natsume, have you heard Kanou Kyousuke will be part of next year's Japanese Team?"
"Hn." The man walking beside him, whose name I figured is Natsume, replied while looking at the ball he's holding.
"Looks like next year's team will have a big shot in the FIFA World Cup."
Before Natsume can reply, the second twin interrupted.
"Stop kiddng, Ruka, Japan will surely win the championship." The blonde said proudly while putting his now free arm on Natsume's shoulder. The raven haired looked at him with irritation clearly visible in his face.
The man immediately took his hands off the lad and proceeded to continue the conversation. "We'll finally see the Kanou siblings in action."
"Kitsu, why did you remove your arm from Natsume's shoulder?" The man who shares the same looks with Kitsu teased.
"Oh shut up, Koko. Natsume's already pissed because of Tsu - - -." Before the blonde can finish he was interrupted by his twins fake cough.
"Oops!" Koko moved away from the raven haired man who's looking more pissed than before and went to cuddle with his girlfriend.
The four of them walked towards the house in silence.
"Good afternoon, Natsume-sama, Ruka-sama, Koko-sama, and Kitsu-sama." The two men in black said while bowing their heads.
The man who I guessed to be Ruka smiled at them, while Natsume didn't even bother to look. The twins patted the two men's backs before turning their attention to the quiet me.
"Hey. Look what we've got here." Kitsu said loudly while examining me. His outburst caught Natsume and Ruka's attention because I found them looking at me.
I remembered my manners and greeted them properly. "Good afternoon. I am Mikan Sakura."
"I am Kokoroyomi Hitachin, but you can call me Koko, and this is my twin, Kitsuneme Hitachin. The guy on your left holding a bunny is Ruka Nogi Haninozuka. And that rude man who looks uninterested is Natsume Hyuuga Suoh. He's Tono's son. Oh by Tono, I mean Tamaki Suoh ojissan."
"Err. Nice meeting you." I said while smiling.
The twins stretched their hands and pulled my right hand for a handshake, while Ruka only smiled at me.
Natsume, on the other hand, acted as if he heard nothing and continued on his way towards the house. After bidding me their goodbyes, his friends and their girls followed behind.
Honestly, I'm not really confident with this story, but, since, a trusted friend of mine told me it's pretty good, I decided to upload it. I'm really sorry of you didn't enjoy my story.
I do appreciate comments and suggestions, but, please don't be too harsh.
