CHAPTER 1: I don't want a sister!

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and a 10 year old crimson eyed boy was playing basketball at the court located at the back of their mansion with his best friend Ruka. They play there every afternoon since Ruka's house is just a few blocks away.

After a few minutes, a maid named Reika came out to the court while bringing a tray of snacks namely orange juice, cookies and cake. The two boys then came near the table in their garden and started to munch on their little snack.

"Hey, what do you plan to do tomorrow?" Ruka asked his friend while munching on his snack.

"Dunno. You know me, I never plan on planning things ahead of time." Natsume replied while Ruka's phone suddenly rang.

"Yes mom. I'll be home soon. Bye. Love you too." Ruka said. "I need to go now Natsume. Mom will be leaving and no one is there to look after my brother. You know him. He can be a big pain in the neck."

"Tch. That's why I don't want a younger brother or even a sister. I'm happy being an only child."

"I know. You can be so lucky but having a sibling can be fun sometimes." Ruka answered back while Natsume cocked an eyebrow.

"How can it be fun? You said so yourself that Takumi is a pain in the neck."

"Well, there are just some times that make me being a big brother worthwhile. But I guess you would not understand because you don't have someone to look after. Having a younger brother could be fun although it requires a whole lot of hard work and patience." Ruka said.

"Whatever. You know that patience is something that I don't have much and I would still prefer to be an only child. Having a sibling is too much hassle for me. And besides, I don't like it when someone would call me onii-chan. It sounds so weird."

"Suit yourself, Natsume. Well, I gotta go now. bye." And then Ruka left as Natsume finished his food and went back to his room.

Natsume was just about to go up the stairs when his mother called him. "Natsume, would you come here for a moment. I have good news for you." said Yuri, his mother.

"What is it okaa-san?" asked a curious Natsume.

"Well, I have been thinking that since you are an only child, you must be lonely here in the mansion whenever Ruka is not coming over to play so I have decided to adopt someone for you to have a younger sister!" Yuri said with a very big smile as Natsume's face suddenly dropped.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!? A sister?!? Okaa-san!!! I don't want one! I'm already happy with my life so you don't have to adopt someone!" Natsume retorted.

"Natsume Hyuuga, that is not the proper way to talk to your mother!" Yuri answered back.

"Gomen, but I really don't need a sister. She will just get in the way!"

"You will have a sister and that's that! No more buts little mister. Now go back to your room and change your clothes before your sweat dries off of your back! Do you want to have pneumonia?"

"Fine." Natsume sighed in defeat as he scuttled to his room for a shower since he was all sweaty all because of the game he played with Ruka. "Tch. A sister huh? What the heck. My life will be a mess!"

Right after Natsume was done with his shower, he immediately called Ruka.

"Hello. Nogi residence. How may I help you?" answered Katame, the nanny of Takumi.

"May I talk to Ruka?" replied Natsume.

"Who am I talking to?"

"Just tell him that it's Natsume."

"Oh, okay then Natsume. Just wait for a while. Matser Ruka will be on the line after a few seconds."

After about one minute, Ruka got hold of the line. "Hey buddy. What made you call this time?"

"My mom is going crazy! She's going to adopt someone for me to have a younger sister!" Natsume grunted on the other line.

"Well, that would be great. At least there would be someone to keep you company every time that I am not around to play with you."

"You don't get the point, Ruka. I don't want and I definitely don't need a sister in my life. She will probably just pester me around the whole day!"

"You'll get used to it, Natsume. And besides, Auntie Yuri was the one who made that decision so I guess there's nothing that we can do about it. Don't worry, having a sibling is not that bad." Ruka replied.

"But I still don't want one. We might end up fighting with each other every single day!"

"That's part of the whole sibling thing. It's normal for siblings to fight, you know. Takumi and I fight everyday and it's no big deal. You'll get used to it some time. And who knows, you might end up enjoying it like I do."

"But I really don't want one and I definitely don't need one." he said very stubbornly.

"As I have said, you'll get used to it after some time. You just sound like that because you don't know a thing about being a big brother to someone. It'll be fine. I bet Auntie Yuri just did that for you own good. She only wants the best for you after all."

"Whatever. Hey, I gotta go now. I think it's time for dinner. Bye."

"Bye, Natsume. Good luck on the whole big brother thing." Ruka answered with a giggle.

"Whatever." Natsume stated as he hung up the phone. He didn't notice that Yuri was listening to their conversation as well.

"Don't worry, Natsume. She will only stay for a while though so you don't have to make a fuss about it." Yuri thought as she hung up the phone.

FLASHBACK: (at the orphanage)

"Mrs. Hyuuga, here are the papers for the temporary adoption of the child that you have chosen." Said the head of the orphanage.

"What do you mean by temporary? Does this mean that I cannot have Mikan as my daughter?" Yuri asked.

"Well, she will become a Mikan Hyuuga as of now but when she reaches 16, she has to choose. This temporary custody contract states that even if she's already a certified Hyuuga today, she still has the right to choose if ever she wants to become the former Mikan Sakura when she turns 16." The head explained.

"What will happen then?"

"Well, if she chooses to be a Hyuuga, she lives with you as your daughter. But if she chooses to be back into a Sakura, she'll still live with you since you've signed a contract but not as a daughter anymore but as a friend or something like that. Do you get the point?"

"Oh, okay. I understand. Thank you very much. When can I pick up Mikan then?" Yuri answered

"Tomorrow would be dandy. She's packing her stuff already."

"Okay then. Bye. Thanks again."
