Together Again - Chapter 1 - Meeting the Family (Chiyuu P.O.V.)
When the limo finally stopped and I was allowed to finally breathe real air again, I gawked at my new home. Sure - I was expecting a mansion, i'm aristocracy after all - but for just me, my brother and his "companion", this place was huge! It's a castle, it's- I turned to my chaperone and cleared my throat putting on a formal tone, though I was kidding about and I kept laughing as I spoke "Who will be- HAheh..he..ahem - who will be looking after heheh.. the mansion..pffthaha... ahhh...Jeeves?" I sounded like an idiot.
"Two maids will be attending to chores such as cooking and cleaning. And one servant to caiter to your individual, personal needs... Miss Chiyuu." He informed me, stood smartly in his black suit and red tie.
I shrugged to myself with a blank expression 'At least he's calling me Chiyuu now..' I though to myself. "Alright then!" I went to pick up a suitcase by 'Jeeves' picked it up before me and headed to the mansion... 'cause i'm not allowed to carry my stuff... apparently. I smirked to myself - no work for me then! I stuck my arms to my sides and happily trotted towards the mansion.
My chaperone knocked on the door, and only a few second later it opened. I was expecting it to be longer - they must've been waiting close by the entrance for us. "Miss Fujioka, right this way." The man that opened the door said and then began wandering off. "So what's your name?" I asked. I always called servants and maids by first names. It's more personal and allows us to be closer! In my opinion, anyway.
"Kaito, Miss Fujioka." He replied in a bland tone. I sighed. I assumed he was the servant Jeeves (and if your wondering, no, that's not his real name, I just know him by it) was talking about. I followed him closely - kinda like a duckling - all the while eyeing all the shiny things that decorate my new home. "The young master has been expecting you for quite some time now, he seemed quite on edge when you did not arrive on schedule." The servant informed me, not bothering to look in my direction. I frowned, either he was too focused or he was purposely ignoring me, I already didn't like this guy very much. I began making stupid faces behind his back, mocking him. Sure, I may be rich, but that doesn't mean i'm polite and well-mannered and always treat people with 'respect'.
I stopped my childish actions when he turned and glared at me, mentally shrinking me to the size of a grain of sand. He then opened the large, oak doors in front of us. The doors in this mansion were pretty, they all had unquie patterns carved into them, and if you looked closely you could see animals and the faces of famous people integrated in.
"Mr Fujioka, Miss Fujioka has arrived." The servant stated in his boring monotone voice. I peered around him, but he stepped aside so I stood straight again. I saw my dearest brother who I haven't seen in so long sitting and an expensive-looking arm chair.
He was dressed quite casually in a baggy black shirt and jeans. I was surprised to see he had spiked his short brown hair, seemed out of character, but I guess I don't really know him that well. And his hair wasn't short short... just normal short, enough to look kinda cool. But his eyes really stood out. I didn't want to mention them because I know how he hates them being mentioned. He even goes so far as to wear contacts a lot of the time, as far as I know anyway. His eyes are a radiant turquoise colour, so they were really distinct.
He turned his head to see me, and it was obvious he was a lot different from me, personality wise, of course. He had such a gentle expression (it still felt like those eyes were staring into my soul though...). He smiled at me in that same gentle way. It was a smile that gave his eyes a glint. I couldn't help but smile back - I was just so glad to see him. He got up and came towards me. I ran past the servant and glomped Chizuru. He looks a bit shocked and the force caused him to fall back onto the floor. I sat on his stomach and grinned at him. Even though he didn't look very amused at first, we soon started laughing together.
A few minutes after the glomping incident, and a long chat with my brother I ended up meeting Keiko. Keiko was my brothers bestest friend, even though she was a girl. She was the daughter of the family he had been living with (the Delouge family) - so they'd grown up together. I'd heard a lot about Keiko from the letters Chizuru would send me each month. It turns out that weird habit of randomly falling asleep on people was real, which I wasn't too pleased about when she fell asleep on my shoulder. "Nggh, is this gonna happen a lot?" I turned my head to glare at Chizuru.
"Unfortunately, yes. But, hey, feel sorry for me at least? I have had to live with that for the past ten years!" he smirked at me as I went off on a rant about how inconvenient this must be. Though he just laughed at me through the entire speech I made. "I'm surprised," He finally said after I had finished my turn of talking.
"Surprised?"
"At how fluently you speak Japanese,considering you were raised in Australia. You seem to have lost your accent quite a bit already."
"Hey! That was kind of indirectly calling me an idiot! And you can speak for yourself, you weren't raised in Japan either."
"Maybe not, but at least I got raised in England - where people don't box kangaroo's everyday."
"I didn't box kangaroo's..."
"Su~re you didn't." He sang. I just huffed, Boxing kangaroo's... I'd have to try it some time, sounds fun. My attention was turned to the girl sleeping on my shoulder when she finally sat up and rubbed her eyes. She had reasonably long blonde hair. She was sorta pretty. Sorta. I refuse to say that she definitely was. After a few seconds of silence she finally turned and examined me. It was creepy, only because she was wearing cat ears, and even a tail. She seemed to accept me, shook my hand with a nod, and went back to sleep. I could only stare and gawk for a few seconds but snapped myself back when my brother started laughing again.
"Shut up, Chi-chan." I growled.
"Hey! I told you not to call me Chi-chan!"
Well, now we've met three of the OC's! Next it'll be their first day at school.
I wonder what it's like to really box kangaroo's...?
