Chapter three: We don't want you!
A beautiful Aroma filled the place near the kitchen, where the cooks were making everything ready for lunch. The seven teenagers entered the kitchen, and every one of them made his way towards his favorite dish to 'taste' it.
Runo along side her brother Joe went to see what was Chan doing, for them Chan was one of the few members of the house hold they would talk to, she always understands them in a way or another, but that never meant her approval of what they were doing. She always tries to stop them, but she never succeeded.
"So what are you cooking?" Runo asked while taking a sip of the soup she was making.
Chan hit Runo's hand playfully with her spoon to make her let go of her food, "Alice told me in the way here that she prefers soup other than any other kind of food, so I decided to make it for her." She said answering Runo's question.
"So this food is for her?" Runo asked, as an evil plan came to her mind.
"Yes," Chan answered and added in some salt. "Speaking of her, where's she?" her looks changed to a questioning one.
An instant smirk crossed Runo's face, as she remembered what happened a few hours ago…
…
The seven children walked in the hall and stopped in front one of the many rooms in the third floor, the door read "The nanny's room" on it with a skull and crossed bones drawn next to it. Alice took a deep breath and turned to say her thanks to her companions, they only looked at her with innocent smiles on their faces.
Once she opened the door, Julie pushed her into the room and locked the door behind, while her siblings cracked into laughter.
Alice tried to open the door, but she discovered it was locked, she let out a sigh, her caring welcoming didn't work with them. She never really knew why they were showing her such treatment, she didn't even start and she was never given a chance yet.
"Come on, let me out! Please," she tried to persuade them into letting her out by being nice, again it didn't work.
"Sorry, we can't. Hope you enjoy staying with us and I hope you'll like them too." Runo said, and once again the other six laughed.
Alice's face had a puzzled look on it, she could not know what does 'them' stands for, as an answer for her question, tiny noises were heard from behind her, she turned around to see her room filled with mice and rats of every shape and size!
Alice immediately screamed; she knew now who 'them' are. She looked around the room searching for a safe place with rats free, but failed; the children had spread tiny pieces of cheese all over the room, even in her suite case, which meant that her clothes are no longer there!
Her back was glued to the door; she obviously didn't find another place to hide in and was now only trying to get some help by screaming and shouting. All she heard were the mocking laughs of the seven behind her door.
No one answered her calls, the maids were two floors below her cleaning, and it'll be till hours for anyone to know she's here. With no other way out, but the window, which was not exactly a 'way out' since she's three stories off the ground, she was to stay there for a long period of time. Just what they've planned for!
…
Runo snapped out of her little flash back on the sound of Chan talking to her, she shocked her head and turned to answer Chan's first question,
"She's probably 'unpacking' her stuff,"
There was something in Runo's tone that Chan didn't like, she gave Runo a glare and left the kitchen to go and investigate the reason for Runo's happiness, leaving Runo and Joe alone with the soup.
"Joe, quickly search for the hot pepper," Runo instructed her younger brother.
"No, Runo. Not another plan it's enough!" Joe said and crossed his arms over his chest.
Joe was the only one of his brothers to show disapproval of what they were doing, he never really liked it when they pull a prank on one of their governors, yes he laughs sometimes when something funny happens to them; having colorful or pie faces is always funny, but not necessary right.
In the matter of fact, Chan was the major reason for his opinion; he always had a soft spot for her, came in hand for her to convince him with her believes.
"Oh, come on! You don't have to be good to them!" she said with anger in her voice. She didn't even wait for his response; she just kept looking for the hot peppers herself!
"Runo, this is wrong! You have to stop,"
"No, I won't until she's out! And if you really like us, you won't say a thing to Chan, ok?"
"I-I … ok," he surrendered and went to where his other siblings stood.
"Alice, are you okay?" Chan asked, while trying to look for the door keys, which the kids already hid. Alice only let out a small "Yes". Chan told her to step away from the door a little bit, which Alice did scared a little that she's getting closer to the cheese eating creatures, but she knew she had to.
Chan took a few steps away, then flew and kicked the door open. Alice ran over to Chan and gave her a big hug; happy that someone came to her rescue. Chan took a look inside the room and saw the disaster there,
"No! Not the rat prank again! This is the third time in two months!"; "I better call the maids". Chan turned to the stare case and shouted for the maids to come
"We cleaned it yesterday!" one of them shouted back.
"Rat prank!" Chan simply answered, the maid let out an 'oh' to show that she understood. In seconds two maids were in the room along side their cats.
"Those little… I am so sorry." Chan said to Alice, who still had a terrified look on her face.
"It's fine, really. Worse things have happened… Actually no, this is the worst!" Alice said with a little cry in her tone.
"They deserve some punishment for this, now come on, lunch will be served in minutes.'' Chan said remembering she still has a task in hand, preparing food. "I made your favorite, but it needs some time to get ready,"
"Really! Thanks a lot! I can help if you want,"
"I would love to," Chan said and the two made their way back to the kitchen.
Clean white sheets were put on the table, and everything was ready in the dinning room from the candles to the smallest spoon. The family walked into the room and took their places, while the maids were bringing in all kinds of delicious food.
"Nice thinking Runo!" Ace said to his sister, who sat next to him.
"Thank you," Runo answered, feeling proud of what she had done.
"If she leaves before dinner, we'll make a 23.8% progress!" Marucho, the family's genius spoke.
"S-u-r-e," Julie said with a puzzled look on her face.
While they were chatting, Shun walked in, eating was one of the few reasons that makes him leave his 'office', he didn't have much time to talk to his kids because of his always busy schedule, that was for sure the reason why his children were misbehaving.
Soon after Mr. Kazami's arrival, Alice joined in and took her place on one of the empty chairs. She gave them a small smile, which Runo returned with a smirk.
The family started eating quietly, all enjoying their meal and for some enjoying a prank well done. Alice pored some of the red soup and placed it in her dish. The seven watched as she took a sip of her soup, Alice's face turned red in seconds, she looked for a glass of water to drink, she took the glass placed to her plate and drank it all only to discover it was vinegar; which made everything a lot worse!
"Get her some water! Now," Shun instructed the shocked maids and cooks in the room. He knelt next to Alice on the floor, who almost could not breathe and had a funny feeling in her stomach.
Chan quickly brought a glass of water and handed it to Alice, who drank it. The heat in her mouth disappeared a little, and the funny feeling was gone. Shun helped her up, and sat her on her chair, then turned to the laughing children…
"I suppose it was your idea!" he said in a sharp tone.
"Yes," Runo answered.
"I'll-"
"No sir, it's fine. I'm okay. But you should know that I'm staying here and what you did made me more determent to stick around," she interrupted Shun.
"Why are you doing this?" Runo shouted at her.
"We don't want you!" Ace completed.
"We hate you, so go!" Mira finished what they wanted to say.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! ALL OF YOU TO YOUR ROOMS, NOW!" Shun was angered enough for one day. The seven left the dinning room and went to the stares. Shun left too and returned to his office leaving Alice alone in the room.
Done with this one let me now what do you think, and for those who wanted to know when Dan is coming or the ages of the characters, you can go to my profile and you'll find all you need there. R&R. and kazamirose I don't, clearly, support shun/Fabia, I mean if gundalian invaders was the first season, I would love them to be together, but it's the third season, not after he makes us love shun/Alice, replace them in the third part! Anyway this is what I believe in.
