Riding onto the estate both Kaoru and I noticed the moving truck "Hey Kaoru, do you have a clue what that is doing in front of our house?" Kaoru just stared at me and slightly shook his head. We entered the house and asked one of the maids what the meaning was of this "Owh nothing special, young sirs. We are preparing for a guest who will be staying with us for a while".. I looked back at the truck and noticed that most of it were suitcases probably filled with clothes. "Must be one of moms' overseas work partner or something, what do you think?" I turned to look at my younger brother but he didn't hear my comment. He was too busy to check his phone and see who was calling him. I was about to ask him who it was but before I could ask the house butler called me "young sir, your mother would like a word with you immediately." I nodded "Yeah, Kaoru's on the phone we'll be there in a sec-" "No Young Sir? Your mother specifically requested you."
I was little surprised as to why mom would want to talk to me alone I followed his lead towards her. Before leaving the room I noticed Kaoru picking up on the call. I'll have to ask him who it was later. We arrived at the room where mom was, her office. I knocked and entered. She was on the phone with a client, an American client from the sound of it.
She pointed towards the chair in front of her desk and motioned me to take a seat. This is weird. She usually never does this. Unless we did something wrong. I tried to remember if maybe one of our pranks could've gotten me here. If that were the case she would've asked for both of us. I patiently waited for her as she finished the call.
When she finally hung up I straightened my back a little bit feeling on edge for some reason. "Darling, Sorry you had to wait. I didn't think my girls would be home so soon." I disregarded her tick of calling my brother and I her 'girls'. "Why did you call me mom?" Her smile faded a little "It's about our visitor that'll be here tomorrow… I want to ensure that you and your brother won't be total rascals towards her." I got a little pissed "Of course we won't! we would never jeopardize the business. Besides, if that's all you wanted to say why isn't Kaoru here as well?" The ends of her lips turned up into a small smirk "Good to know you feel this way because our guest is none other than your future fiancé." I was floored.
"My fiancé?! This is the first thing I ever heard of it. You can't be serious about this. You can go ahead and call it off." Her expression suddenly grew stern "I won't Hikaru. You are going to at least meet her and she is going to stay here. But no worries, I'm not cruel, if at the end of her stay you're still completely against the idea then I'll call it off." I never could say anything against her when she gave me the look she did. "Tch, fine. How long will I have to tolerate her? And what is her Name anyway?!"Her stern expression softened up "Well I don't want to ruin the surprise and don't worry, you'll have enough time to get to know each other. She'll be staying here for a year after all." I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped the floor at her answer "A year!?" I was about to rant even more but I was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was one of her designers dropping by to talk about some new designs.
I realized I was the third wheel and so I stood up to take my leave. "Oh and one more thing Hikaru" I turned around my expression showing just how pissed and annoyed I am right now "This can not leave this household, you understand?" I clicked my tongue and mumbled a fine while I left the room. I immediately went to my room. I assumed that Kaoru will check up on me sooner or later but for now, I needed some time the think about what went down in that room.
Fiancé?! Why am I only hearing about it now? Also how out-dated is this?! They can't be serious about it. I grew more and more pissed by the second when suddenly I heard the click of my door. I turned my head and there Kaoru was. Seeing my state his expression darkened "What happened, Hikaru?" I smiled weakly "Oh, you have no idea…"
