Author's notes are in () by the way
"You did what? !" the young male student shouted. His silver hair somewhat highlighting his violet-like eyes, which at the moment looked quite furious. Or was it annoyed?
Either way, I wasn't about to go in there. To the Chairman's kitchen that is. First of all, I had just been adopted by Chairman Kaien Cross yesterday and it was still awkward to be here in the first place. The Chairman had been talking with the other teen about his adoption of me, and of Yuuki's approval. From what it sounded like so far, this other teenager was also supposed to have approved of it but was told lastly anyways. Speaking of sounds, I looked down at my stomach as it made a growling noise. 'I must still be tired,' I thought as I hit my palm to my forehead. 'I just thought my stomach said "go get food" literally.' Sighing, I opened the door I had once been eavesdropping behind, and stepped into the kitchen. "Good morning," I said softly with a smile.
The Chairman was sitting at the rounded table and turned to the door to see who it was that came in. He had almost forgotten that he enrolled her so soon and she was supposed to head to school this morning. "Well good morning to you Ms. Toudou," he said in his usual welcoming and happy tone. "I didn't introduce the two of you yesterday," he added as he turned to the tall, silver haired boy who stood behind a seat opposite of the Chairman. "Miho, this is Zero Kiryu. Zero, this is my soon to be daughter, Miho Toudou."
"Nice to meet you Zero-sama," I said and bowed from my waist. Returning to a straightened stance I looked at my new acquaintance who simply nodded. At least it was some sort of an acknowledgement, although I was already beginning to think twice about this guy. He didn't look like the welcoming type, but something told me there was a reason for it. People that act like that usually had something happen in their past that made them the way they are. I'm not usually one to want to solve others' problems (- Completely lying), but I'm thinking I'll want to make him my personal challenge while I attend this school. I do end up having to see him a lot anyways. Why not gain his trust enough to where I can maybe help him with his past?
Kaien noticed the beginning silence and decided to break it as he smiled at Miho. "Feel free to eat anything you like within proportional reason. I don't want you getting too sick," he said gesturing to the pantries.
Nodding, I took out a small rice ball from what looked like leftovers from previous nights in the fridge. Zero had done the same already and had sat down in the seat he had been standing behind. I hadn't had a homemade rice ball in what seemed like ages, which surely got me off on the right foot for the rest of the day. Yuuki had come in shortly after I had heated up my breakfast and sat down. The Chairman and Yuuki talked more so than Zero did, and I just decided to stay quiet myself. So much happened so quickly I wasn't sure on how to react to it all and I guess I had eventually gone off into my own little world. I didn't space out completely, as I had still ate all of my breakfast. Weird thing was no one noticed it either, so I guess I was pretty quiet which is by all means normal for me. (- Lying again).
Yuuki looked across the table at Miho, a little concerned as to why she hadn't spoken at all. Then again, Yuuki realized, it must be hard getting used to such a place and so many people after being on one's own for so long. "Miho-chan?" she asked and seeing that it got her attention, she smiled. "The Chairman put you in the same classes as me so that way you won't feel too alone. So if you want I'll walk with you to class every morning until you get to knowing more people," she offered happily.
"Oh. Yeah, sure. That'd be great. Thanks Yuuki," I said gratefully. Although I was afraid I wouldn't find many friends. I didn't want to anyways. I never would again. The last time I became friends with someone was a long while ago, but it scarred my memories. I have and always will have a secret ability that by my parents' orders, I am not allowed to use. I promised them I wouldn't and that promise happened to be the last thing I remember saying to them. Ever since then I haven't used it and have hidden it deep inside myself where nothing can trigger it to show its existence. It was when I was a young girl, and I didn't know much about my ability so naturally I couldn't control it. Soon, I was the one who couldn't be controlled and in the midst of my actions I hurt one of my best and closest friends. She ended up in the local doctor's facility for months. A few weeks after the incident my parents went missing and with no other known family to go to and in my mental state, I ran away. At times, sympathetic people would give me a place to stay, but I would often become too much of a worry for them and I would escape once again. Each time I came upon a new family or couple, they would home-school me until the time came when I would leave. Soon I figured on how to live on my own and that eventually brought me here. The people who took me in now are much different, and Zero was a refreshing personality compared to the mushy sympathizers I had stayed with when I was a child. I was still a bit unnerved about how easily I began to feel once I got to living with the Chairman. I soon learned that Yuuki herself was adopted by Kaien, and Zero was sort of adopted, although not legally speaking as he remained a Kiryu. For the next few days I continued to sleep on the couch where I had originally awakened while the Chairman searched for a room to place me in. And as I was against sleeping with a roommate of to whom I didn't know yet, I insisted that the couch was just fine. Yuuki and I became more like sisters each day, although I still kept my distance. I didn't want to get close to her either. She was such a such a nice girl, and reminded me a bit of my old friend when she smiled. There was no way I would want to hurt her or anyone else again. Anyways, as long as I was going to stay here for the rest of my life, I might as well disconnect myself from others at the start instead of hurting their feelings by turning more so away from them after becoming so close. No, I would just wake up, go to school, do homework, and go to sleep. With meals in between, that soon became my natural schedule until the beginning of my second week, when the Chairman (You can just hear him screaming now can't you?-"Call me daddy!") called us into his office a little before classes ended. Before Yuuki and Zero had to go be prefects again to protect those Night Class students and all.
