chapter 3: Aoi's promise

"Your salary is 4000 yen monthly" Natsume Answered. "NANI?!" Mikan screamed. She was shocked. She could already buy 1 bottle of her medicines then. "If" Natsume continued. That made Mikan nervous.

"If?" Mikan asked.

"If you do a good job. I will not give money to someone who doesn't work properly". Natsume said. "Hai!" Mikan screamed in joy. Natsume seemed energized whenever he sees her smile. The thing is..WHY? He was a woman-hater! Except Aoi and his relatives of course.

"So, what will I do now Hyuuga kun?" Mikan asked.

"Before you start your work, call me NATSUME. Hyuuga kun gives me the creeps." Natsume said.

"Natsume onii chan? Creeped? WOW! That's new ne Youichi kun?" Aoi asked his little brother. Youichi just shrugged."That's why he hates fangirls because they always call him Hyuuga sama" Youichi said.

"Hyu-I mean, Natsume has a fanclub?" Mikan asked. "Well, yeah, duh" Natsume said. "He's famous, BAKA.Youichi said emphasizing the word baka. "YOUICHI KUN! SAY SORRY TO MIKAN ONEE CHAN. THAT'S NOT NICE YOU KNOW!"Aoi scolded.

"You're not mother Aoi!" Youichi shouted back.This struck hard Aoi. "I may not be mother Youichi kun, I was just doing my promise to mom" Aoi said while crying as she ran upstairs to her room.

"Youichi! Such harsh words, against your Older sister. Please do say sorry to her. That hurts you know!" Mikan said. "Tch, Baka youjo." Youichi said as he ran up to the stairs but he go to his room, not Aoi's.

"Natsume kun, don't you even teach Youichi some manners?" Mikan said. "Tch, he has school baka, ask the school not me." Natsume answered back. "But still, you're the oldest and you're the role model to Youichi and Aoi." Mikan said.

"Why do you care, Polka dots?! Now do your job. First you wash this polo. Then cook lunch and you'll do all the household!" Natsume angrily answered and took off his polo and thrown it to Mikan's face.

"Aaaahh!! Peerrrvveeerrrttt!!" Mikan shouted."Taking off his clothes in front of me!!" Mikan continued.

"Tch, just get on with your work, baka youjo" Natsume said.

"Hai pervert hentai no good jerk" Mikan murmured the last italized lines.

"What?" Natsume said, obviously heard it because of the big vein that popped out from his head.

"Nandemonai" Mikan answered quickly with a big sweatdrop on her head.

LATER

"Lalalala hey! Lalalala hey! Scrub then soap! Rinse and wash. Voila! A good white polo!" Mikan sung as she finished washing the polo.

"Mikan onee chan?" A sad voice said.

"Aoi chan?" Mikan said because she was the only other girl besides her.

"Do you need help?" Aoi said.

"Well, not really" Mikan answered. She saw Aoi's reaction, it was sad, lonely and dull. Well for her, it's really hard to live with 2 cold boys. Then she had an idea. "But I do need company!" Mikan said happily and flashed her trademark smile.

Aoi smiled at this. Somehow, her smile made her feel light.

"Ne, ne, Aoi chan? Is it hard to live with 2 cold, arrogant boys?" Mikan asked.

"Well, not really, Even if they're cold. They're also nice. Especially Natsume onii chan. Youichi kun is really a brat. He doesn't even call me onee chan" Aoi answered.

"Oh, I see. Ne, Aoi chan, what did you mean by the promise?to your mom?well, don't answer it if you don't like." Mikan said quickly.

"No, I want to share it to you Mikan onee chan, because you're so nice" Aoi said.
"Well, you see-"

FLASHBACK

There was a 30+ looking woman in a hospital bed panting heavily.And there were a 10 year old Natsume, a 8 year old Aoi and a 3 year old Youichi.

"N-Natsume, Y-Youichi chibi,(a/n: Their mother calls Youichi YOUICHI CHIBI because he looked like a chibi.) C-could you please l-leave me a-and aoi for a s-second?" Their mother said. "Hai" Natsume said and carried little Youichi. But before Natsume carried Youichi, Youichi ran to his mom and kissed her at the cheek.

"Arigatou Youichi chibi" Mrs. Hyuuga said.

The two boys headed for the door and exited the hospital room.

"Aoi chan" Mrs. Hyuuga started.

"Yes mommy?" Little Aoi said.

"I want you to promise me..."

"Promise what mommy?"

"If mommy is gone-"

"NO! mommy not leave me!"

"Aoi, Aoi, mommy will not leave you, Mommy is in here -points to Aoi's heart- And I will never leave that"

"Mommy"

"Promise me, Aoi Hyuuga, my only daughter, that you'll discipline your brothers no matter what, be strong, be strong for mommy okay? Teach them how to be positive in life, Especially Youichi chibi okay?"

"Yes mommy, I will"

END OF FLASHBACK

"So that's your promise" As Mikan finished the last polo, which is Youichi's polo.

"Yes" Aoi said.

"Arigatou for sharing me your story Aoi chan!" Mikan smiled, but deep inside felt hurt for Aoi. Aoi is like a single mother disciplining her 2 sons. Only Natsume was older.

"Don't you have to go somewhere Aoi?" Mikan asked.

"Iie, maybe I'll help you hang these outside" Aoi said carrying 1 basket of clothes.

"Okay, that would do, since you love to work so-" Mikan was cut off because she can't breathe again.

'uh-oh' she thought. "MIKAN ONEE CHAN!" Aoi screamed.

"Aoi...chan...don't...worry...please...don't...call...anyone..." Mikan said between her pants.

"But Mikan onee chan! You can't breathe!" Aoi said.

"This will be okay, see?" As Mikan stopped panting again.

"Are you sure? -embraces Mikan- don't leave me please Onee chan, If you have a disease, always tell me." Aoi said.

"Yes, Aoi chan, now let's do our job again and how about we watch tv after that?" Mikan requested.

"Hai! Aoi said.

"But before that"
