Sheena's POV
"Sheena, come on."
I tried to ignore Zelos to the best of my ability, but he just wouldn't go away. I hated being woken up and he knew it.
"Sheena, it's almost noon." Zelos lightly tapped my shoulder.
Noon? Noon? How could I allow myself to sleep in? Memories of last night came back to me as I slowly sat up on the bed. I remember getting angry and yelling a lot…Seles was there…right…we were arguing about rooms, but after that I don't quite know what happened. Oh well, she's probably with Zelos.
I rubbed my eyes and blinked as the bright afternoon sun blocked my vision.
"There you go, now come on." Zelos lightly kissed me on the forehead and began to leave the room, "Come down to the kitchen when you're done."
"Alright…" I groaned and rolled of the bed, why was he in such a rush?
I wobbled into the bathroom attached to my room and growled when I saw the note on the door, clearly the handwriting of that little brat:
I hate you!
Was this honestly supposed to scare me? Although she did try to kill me once.
I sighed and turned on the tap getting out my toothbrush and toothpaste.
Once done I made my way down the slippery stairs, they had just been waxed by the maid Zelos hired about a month ago…I think her name was Rebecca.
I walked into the kitchen and immediateatly caught the glare Seles was giving me, I gave her the evil eye and took a seat beside Zelos.
"Morning, Sebastian will be here in a minute." Zelos leaned on the table, all the while keeping a close watch on his little sister.
I nodded and busied myself by looking around the room, it always amazed my how big his house is. I mean the kitchen itself is as big as the houses in Mizuho. It had been recently remodeled.
Zelos had asked for white granite tiles, greenish marble counter tops, cherry wood cabinets and new ceiling lamps which fall in small crystal shapes. This type of lifestyle was all new to me but I must say it's fun being spoiled, not that I am in anyway...
The kitchen door opened and Sebastian walked in with a grave face and tired eyes which drooped from his obvious lack of sleep, "Good morning."
"Morning." I greeted and Zelos nodded. Seles remained unchanged.
"I need to discuss a very serious matter with all of you." Sebastian sighed heavily but remained upright.
So this is why Zelos had rushed me out of bed. Poor Sebastian, he looks so troubled.
"Due to a family emergency I have to so kindly ask that you give me leave for some few weeks." Suddenly the butler looked a lot older than normal, "If it is possible…"
"Hey, no problem." Zelos got up and patted the distressed butler on the shoulder, "Take as much time as you need."
I have to admit I'm slightly surprised that Zelos let him go so easily, no questions or anything. That butler is his life, without him, Zelos has to answer the door himself.
"Thank you so very much." Sebastian bowed curtly, "Goodbye now."
I waved from my seat and Zelos walked him out the door.
"I'll take you back." I heard Zelos say before the door shut.
Great…now it's just me and her…all alone.
I realized she was staring at me and I turned to her, "Is there something you want?"
"Food." Seles demanded from her spot across the table.
"Fine, go make some yourself." I leaned back on my chair and ignored the dirty looks she was giving me.
"Make me lunch…now."
I snorted in disbelief, "I refuse to do anything for you. You're not a baby anymore."
"Zelos said you have to have to take care of me." Her blue eyes pierced through my glare.
"Oh yeah, like when?" I hadn't heard him say anything of the sort.
"Yesterday, don't you remember. He said, 'Sheena if Seles needs something while I'm gone can you take care of it?'"
I vaguely remembered something like that happening but the more I think of it the more it makes sense.
"Now go make me lunch, Sebastian's not here and the maid left for the day."
I hated that smug grin on her face, the feeling of being right…how I hated her ways.
"Fine." I got up with a hint of anger, "But only because I need to eat also."
"Whatever, as long as I get my food."
Now, I hadn't cooked for years and all the spices and flavors here made my head spin. The strong smell was just about enough to knock me out. I pondered on what I could make, I wasn't in the mood for anything great.
I opened the freezer and spotted a whole chicken in one corner…might as well. I reached for it and put it in a bowl of warm water to defrost. Meanwhile I could start on something else…rice should do.
I opened the cupboard under the sink and easily lifted the bag onto the counter, pouring out two glasses full of the starchy solid I rinsed it and dumped it in hot water and on the stove. Turning it to the desired heat I left it alone.
"Where are you going?" Seles demanded, jumping from her seat and following me out the kitchen.
"To clean up. The maids gone, isn't she?" I answered simply.
"You can't leave the stove unattended."
"Relax it's on the lowest heat possible." I sighed and walked up the stairs.
I heard Seles follow me till half the way. She stopped and ran back midway; she seemed to be in a rush. Rubbing my temples I carried on up, glad she was gone.
15 minutes passed, then 30. I think I should go check on the chicken; it must be soft by now.
I walked back down the stairs and heard voices coming from the kitchen, Zelos must be back. I opened the door in time to hear him speak.
"-and what's this revolting goop?" he wrinkled up his nose in disgust.
Seles grinned broadly and pointed to me, "Her cooking."
Zelos turned around and the color in his face drained completely.
"Goop huh?" I tapped my foot, and walked over to the food.
The chicken somehow cooked itself and was producing a foul odor from its severely burnt skin and the rice was unrecognizable, it stood just a heap of brownish black goo.
Turning to Seles I frowned deeply, "I don't remember having cooked the chicken. Yet it stands here, overly baked."
Zelos seemed to snap out of his shock and came to stand beside me, "Seles, what did you do this time?"
"Nothing, I swear!" The little girl shook her head along with that mop she calls hair.
Zelos continued to stare her down until he got bored of it, "Come on, let's eat out."
We arrived at a fancy little restaurant just at the edge of Meltokio, with high ceilings and lavishly decorated walls and tables.
Zelos lead both me and Seles to a quite area and we decided on our order just in time for the waitress.
"Hello there, and what may you all want?" She asked, paying special attention to Zelos.
"One roasted ham and the mixed pasta dish." Zelos answered and gave her his usual smile.
The waitress seemed to melt in a daze until I placed my menu sheet on top of her little note pad.
The food arrived before I had the chance to ask Seles to stop jabbing the fork on the table. Placing the food on our table the waitress left us in peace, but not without casting a longing look Zelos' way.
I shook my head; it was like that every time. Well, who cares I'm too hungry to bother with that.
I helped myself to a serving from the pasta dish and brought the ham closer to me, slowly cutting a piece.
Before I finished, Seles started to whine, "I want the ham."
"Hold on a sec, I'm almost done." I hushed her and went back to cutting it.
Still she remained persistent, "I want the ham!"
I finished placing the pieces of meat in my plate before Seles started grumbling again.
"I said, give me the ham!" She ground her teeth and scraped her fork on her empty plate.
Doesn't this girl have any manners, I was starting to get annoyed, "Say please first."
"Make me!" She shot back.
"Seles…" Zelos interrupted.
The little girl pouted, "Fine, pass the damn ham please."
It will get a lot more interesting as the time passes, that I promise. I have to build the plot first.
I hope I haven't made any major mistakes, I was kinda in a rush -
Anyways, please review
……………please 99
