Hello. My name is Yuki Tsukino and I'm a seventeen year-old student in the High School Tomoto and housekeeper in my neighbor's house, miss Lilian.
I live with my father who has pretty bad heart condition, for that reason I do housekeeping so I can pay the bills and his medicine. Taking care of my father got a bit hard when I have so much to do not only on helping my neighbors but also in my school. So I decided to give up on school and focus on my dad and work.
In the journals and also on the internet, I've searched to someone that needed a housekeeper and had a place for two people to stay, for the case my father needs me immediately. And for my luck I found one not so bad has I expected.
Sakamaki Mansion. Six boys at High School age, room available, housekeeping for the whole day and night, have to be a good cooker and really times are free to decide.
At first, I got a bit hesitate about moving to a mansion and have to housekeeping the whole building and also make meals to six or seven people. But I couldn't refuse the chance even how awful that could be.
I contacted the owner expecting to hear a grumpy voice with a bad temper, but instead it answer me a really calm and deep voice so alike to angels. His name is Karlheinz, doctor Karlheinz. He told me about the house and some rules. He warned me about what his sons could do and how they are. It scared me a bit, even more when I felt something was missing. Even so, I told him it wasn't a problem instead of the only incoming thing, my father condition. After telling him my situation, he understood why someone like me would be willing to work so soon at my age. He then assured that he would take care of my father by analyzing every inch of his heart condition and also assured, no, he insisted me to finish High School with his sons. I felt so happy for his kindness that I felt that I hadn't thanked him enough.
After we finish the call, I had another worry to look at. My father. I know him pretty well to know that he wouldn't accept to leave his own house or even rent. Even so, I had to tell him. So I took deep breaths and found my inner peace and went in his room decided to tell. But as always… that courage faded away when I looked at his frail look.
But I told him peacefully and calmly, making sure he wouldn't be in shock. My heart couldn't stop beating like a crazy as the tense moment ended with a wide and lovingly smile that lighted up his whole face. His tender look make my own body feel light like it was levitating.
As the day passed, we packed up what he needed the most. Clothes, shoes, albums and, of course, the books. We took a taxi, and I could see my father marvelous by looking at the sunny day that raised in the afternoon. As the travel passed by, we finally got into the mansion and for my surprised it was really big. Had a Victorian style, with a big garden filled almost with roses with all the kinds and right on the middle there was a fountain really gorgeous.
As I knock the door, it opens right away and for some reason… I feel that something isn't right. Something dark lays in there and that I would probably find out in my stay in the mansion.
"Hello Yuki. I'm so happy that you finally arrived." Says a well man with long white hair, pale skin and golden eyes. He must be the owner for his so tender voice.
"Hello Mister Karlheinz. I'm also happy to here." I say shaking his hand as my father joins, "This is my father, Akira." I say helping my father up a bit as he smiles too, "Father, this is mister Karlheinz."
"Great to meet you." He says as he shakes hand to the owner too.
"The pleasure is mine." The owner is so tender that he doesn't seem to be even human, "Well, you should probably install you both in the house and then while your father rest from the trip, I will show you around the house and make you meet my sons.
"Yes." I say as I bow while grabbing some stuff and help my father walk up the stairs to his room. For my surprise, he fell asleep right away when he went the bed. Surely this was the first travel after all this years of sickness. I bin everything in his room and mine and without stopping I meet again the owner with six more boys. As I slowly walk down to the living room I see the boys look up at me with strange looks.
There was also a girl, curly blonde hair that falls down to her shoulder with a flower clip pinned to the left side to her hair and eyes are a light glistening pink color.
"Oh, Yuki you back. Well, this are my sons and guest." He says placing his hands on my shoulder making me vulnerable to the other's gaze, "Shuu Sakamaki is the eldest and he is the always laying there so you probably will have to clean the dust off him." He says in a joke tone, "This straight guy is Reiji Sakamaki and is the second eldest. Laito, Kanato and Ayato are triples and don't trust on them too much. And over there, is Subaru Sakamaki… don't angry him." He always kept the joke tone, "Also, this lady over here is Yui Komori."
I bow to them as I smile lovingly, "Nice to meet you all, I'm Yuki Tsukino and hope we all get along." As I stretch up I could feel the same tense and scary atmosphere in the living room. I felt something was really wrong and that house but it's cut when suddenly…
"Well, the presentation is over. You should rest for tomorrow's Yuki. Sleep well." He says as I feel it clicks on my head that I should and don't ask nothing.
"Ye… Yes. Excuse me then." I bow before walking away to my room. As I reach it I lay on it and don't care on taking my clothes off at all for how confused I was about the strange feeling down there. But I couldn't think too much about it so I delete the thought and slowly fall asleep thinking how good my life would be for this good choice not only for me but also to my father. A new life is starting for us now and hope it will last forever.
