CHAPTER 2: Welcoming my so-called sister

It was a Sunday morning as Yuri and Natsume Hyuuga were both preparing before they go to mass.

"Natsume, right after we attend mass, I will drive you back home while I will go to the orphanage. I will pick up Mikan today so you be nice to her, okay?" Yuri said to her son as she's driving on their way to church.

"Hn." Natsume replied. "Tch. Do I have a choice? Even if I disagree you'll still bring her home so why would I even bother talking? So Mikan is her name huh?"

"Don't worry, Natsume. I'm sure you'll learn to like ser somehow. She's quite bubbly and you'll have a lot of fun times with her." Yuri stated. "And since you are her big brother, you have to look after her just like how Ruka looks after little Takumi."

Upon hearing this, Natsume's head shot up in horror.

"What?! You adopted a three year old monster?! Okaa-san! Three year olds like Takumi take out the very least patience that I have in my body! You know very well that I am not doing well with little perky kids. It irritates the hell out of me!"

"No, my dear son. You have misunderstood it. You'll look after Mikan as a big brother just like Ruka. You don't have to worry a thing since Mikan is just a year younger that you. I'm even planning to send the both of you to same schools this school year. Just don't be too harsh on her and give her a chance." Yuri explained as she parked the car while Natsume just grunted.

Upon entering the church, they both sat down and prayed for their own wishes.

"Dear God, please let Natsume accept Mikan. I know it would be hard on Natsume's part since he got used to being an only child but I've figured out that he'll be a lot happier with a sister since he doesn't go out and play much with other kids other than Ruka. So please enlighten my son that having a sister won't be that bad. And besides, I really want to have a daughter too." Prayed a very hopeful Yuri.

"Dear God, I know that my okaa-san just wants the best for me so she decided to adopt someone to be my sister. I also know that she wants to have a daughter badly, but since my otou-san died when I was 2, it was not able to happen. I want my okaa-san to be happy so I guess I would give Mikan a chance or something. But please don't let her be one of the girls that are in school who pester me around all day." Prayed Natsume.

Once the mass was over, Yuri drove Natsume home as she proceeded to the orphanage to pick up Mikan.

"Mikan-chan, she will be your new mother as of today. So be a good girl, okay?" said Miyu, the head of the orphanage to the 9 year old brunette with pigtails and amber eyes. Mikan just stared at Yuri as Yuri gave her a smile. "I guess this beautiful lady is nice." Mikan thought as she bowed her head.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Yuri. I am Mikan Sakura and I am 9 years old." She said politely while giving her one of her beautiful smiles that can brighten up people's days.

"My, what a very polite child. You can call me okaa-san from now on, Mikan. Now, shall we get going? Your room I ready and Natsume is waiting for you at home." Yuri stated as they went to the car and drove off to go to their home.

"You will surely love it at home Mikan. You new home will be fun so I hope you make the most out of it since you're a part of the family now."

"Uhm… Okaa-san, who's Natsume?" Mikan curiously asked.

"He's your new onii-chan. You'll meet him soon. He doesn't talk much but he's nice somehow." Yuri explained as she parked the car while Mikan just stared in awe since it was the first time that she saw something so big. "Wow. What a big house!" She thought as they both entered the main entrance while Yuri was holding her hand.

"Natsume, I'm here! Could you come here for a moment?" Yuri said as a raven haired guy with crimson eyes walked down the stairs and headed towards her mother.

"You called?" he said. "Huh? So this is my big brother? He looks scary. *sigh* I guess I should just get along with him since I have no other choice." Mikan thought.

"Yes. Well, this is Mikan. She will be your new sister now so please be nice to her." Yuri said while revealing a brunette that was hiding behind her back. "Don't be shy sweetie. This is your big brother, Natsume. Don't be scared, he won't bite."

"Uhm… Hello there onii-chan. I'm Mikan, its nice meeting you. I hope we could get along well." She mumbled while Natsume just gave a "hn. Just call me Natsume." as a reply. "I guess she won't be that bad. She actually looks cute. Huh?! Wait! What the heck am I thinking?!"

"Natsume, would you kindly bring Mikan to her room? She needs to take a rest. Could you also please bring her bags there?" Yuri requested.

"Hn." Natsume then took the three bags and headed upstairs. "Oi, follow me." Natsume said while Mikan followed him as Yuri just stared at the 2 of them. "Good. I think Natsume would get the hang of it after some time." Yuri thought.

~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~

"Here's your room. If you need anything else, call me. My room is the room next to yours on the left." He said as Mikan was wide0eyed again since her room was SOOO big!

"Okie dokie. Thank you, Natsume. I think I'll be fine now." She said with one of her smiles.

"I think dinner will be served in a few minutes so do whatever you want till then." He said as he headed to the door until he stopped since Mikan called him.

"Uhm… Natsume? Can I ask you something?"

"You're already asking." He replied with a smirk.

"I mean, a different question."

"What?"

"Uhm… Which direction should I take to go to the dining hall later? You see, your house is so big and I might get lost later." She mumbled while playing with her fingers as he just smirked again.

"Tch. I'll just go here before dinner time and we'll go there together. Teaching the directions of this house is hard work so I'll just bring you there." He replied as he left the room.

"I guess okaa-san was right. He can be nice at times." Mikan thought as she laid down on her bed.

Natsume went to his room and laid down as well since dinner was not yet ready.

"Tch. How come she smiles every moment of her life? Geeze. But she really looks so cute. What the?! That thought again?! Sheesh! Natsume! Snap out of it! She's just your sister and there's nothing more to it!"
