Sephiroth hires a Nanny Chapter 1
Riku yawn and raise his arms up to the ceiling, stretching as he tried to wake up. He looked around in home room. The last day of school. Riku sighed to himself and looked outside the window. He didn't want to go to Destiny University Prep, one of the most prestigious high schools in the entire world. Riku couldn't wait for summer vacation to begin. He wanted to go somewhere where he couldn't see his brothers 24/7. He had three brothers and sadly they were triplets. Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz were all juniors here and are very popular at the school. They were the perfect role models that every teacher would love in their classes. They aced every test, excel in every sport, and coordinated most of the school's events. In everyone's eyes, they were the perfect angels everyone wanted to be friends with.
It wasn't all that hot this Friday morning, but Riku was glad that it was getting warm. He couldn't wait to go to the beach for the summer. Their father, Sephiroth, was out of town on business as always. They rarely see their father now, since his company went international. In all honesty, Riku had no idea what company his father owned…. He didn't care about it at all. On the other hand, his three brothers were always trying to help their father with his company. They planned to be aspiring business leaders, just like their father. RIku frowned, he just wanted to lead an ordinary life.
Is that so hard?
The bell finally rang and Riku went to his first class. Lunch time finally came around and Riku sat down with his four friends, Namine, Tidus, Wakka, and his current girlfriend Kairi. Kairi gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, "Hey sweety."
Riku mumbled, "Hey."
Wakka smiled and said, "Lighten up, will ya! It's the last day of school and the start of the summer! You know what that means."
Riku smiled and said, "I am happy. The day is going by so slow though. I can't wait to get away from this place."
"You're not the only one," Tidus responded. "Helping your brothers with the party tonight?"
Riku glared at Tidus and said, "No."
"Why not? Last year was crazy."
Wakka laughed and said, "How can you say that when you were too drunk to remember, ya?"
"I remember a few bits and pieces!"
Namine laughed and said, "You sure you're not trying to make your ex jealous by partying?"
"NO!" Tidus whined. "I just want to have a good time."
Namine responded, "Sure Tidus. Well Riku, what do you plan on doing tonight anyways?"
Riku thought about it and said, "Maybe sleep. I just don't want to be bothered. Are you all going?"
Wakka smiled. "I'm going."
Tidus put his arms around Wakka's and Namine's shoulders and responded, "All three of us are going."
Kairi looked over at Riku and said, "I can help you relax by keeping you company all night."
"Thanks babe." Riku kissed Kairi's forehead and explained, "But I rather be alone for the night. Go have fun with Tidus and them."
Kairi frowned and responded, "Well alright…. I'll text you then."
Riku fell on top of his bed and sighed to himself. It felt good to finally be home. He rolled into the blanket of his bed and looked up at the ceiling. He always hated the end of the school year party his brothers always held. Things always got crazy, and somehow he was always the first person people blame when something terrible happens. His brothers always used him as a scapegoat. He looked outside the window and found the sun setting. Slowly he dozed off into sleep.
When he woke up again, he heard a loud knock on the door. Riku jumped and looked around his dark room. He walked over to the light switch and turned the light on. He could hear the loud music blaring downstairs. He looked outside and saw a lot of cars parked in his front yard. He frowned to himself.
He was glad that he wasn't out there. All of his brothers put on fronts for everyone. Riku knew their true colors and he absolutely hated it. They always viewed him as the 'lesser' brother. He didn't meet up with their standards, so they look down on him. At school, everyone knew about Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz, but no one ever associated them with Riku. In a way, Riku felt like an outcast in the family, but he had no problem with it. It wasn't like he had any friends while growing up. People always used him in order to get closer to his brothers. So he didn't believe in friendship anymore. He's not even sure if his girlfriend really likes him. Kairi always seemed… fake… just like the rest of them. At one moment, she liked Kadaj, but the very next day, she was head over heels over him. It was nice to have someone to finally somewhat care about you. Even if he's a failure to everyone else. Maybe that explains why he can't get close to Tidus, Wakka, and Namine. They seem like good people…
But did they really consider him to be their friend?
Riku walked over to his door and made sure it was locked. He wanted to make sure no one bothered him. He turned on his music player and blasts it in his ears so that he won't be able to hear anything coming from outside his room. Tomorrow was going to be a new day. A day where he was finally able to run free from all of his family members.
The very next day Riku woke up groggily from the sun shining in his eyes. He groaned and turned over in his bed to stare at the clock. It was around 7 am on a Saturday morning. Riku turned back over to go back to sleep but he couldn't. He yawned and walked over to his dresser to find some clothing for the day. He took a long shower and eventually got dressed. Riku looked at his reflection in his mirror and ran a hand through his hair. He had on a black button up with rolled up sleeves, a white vest, blue jeans, and a pair of black boots. He had plans for today and decided to start things early. He walked outside his bedroom and stopped when he saw the mess in the hallway. There were cups littered everywhere. Riku groaned at the sight of the mess. He went downstairs and found it to be in a worse state. His brothers had a lot of cleaning to do. Luckily, he wasn't going to be here in order to help.
Riku jumped when he felt his cell phone vibrating in his right pocket. He took it out of his pocket and answered, "Hello?"
"Good morning Riku. A lot of meetings were cancelled so I'll be home in ten minutes."
"Dad? Wait, in ten minutes?"
"Yeah. Get your brothers up, they have a lot of work to do."
"Uhh… okay, see you in ten minutes." Riku ended the call and smiled. His brothers were soo dead.
He hopped up the stairs and walked towards Kadaj's room. He knocked on the door and eventually received no response. "Hey, Kadaj! Just a warning, dad will be home in ten minutes…. Kadaj?" Riku opened the door and walked over to his brother's bed. Riku sighed at the sight of Kadaj sleeping peacefully in his bed. He looked towards his brother's bathroom when he heard the shower turn off. "Guess he had a great time last night…" Riku whispered to himself. He shook his brother, "Hey wake up."
Kadaj groaned and turned over, "Damn, I said five more minutes."
Riku smirked, "…But dad will be home in probably five minutes now."
"What!" Kadaj bolted up and regretted it immediately. He held his head and covered his face from the sun that shown through his window. "I thought he was coming home tomorrow."
"I thought so too. Too bad for you." Riku stood up and went to walk out the door.
"Hey wait, you gotta help! Or at least wake up Loz and Yazoo."
"Hell no! This is your mess, not mines."
"Riku Harada if you don't help me clean, you will be dead meat by tomorrow night!"
Riku smirked at his brother's threat. His brothers did have a tendency of 'punishing' people if they didn't get what they wanted. He experienced it firsthand way too many times. "So, this is what it feels like to be on top."
Kadaj glowered at Riku and smirked suddenly. "No Riku, you'll never be on top brother." He looked over to the bathroom door and it opened. Riku looked over and his face dropped when he saw Kairi emerge from his brother's bathroom with just a towel around her.
"I'll always be on top brother."
