Shortly after Kaoru's and Hotaru's departure, another wretched scream racked through the house. Shiki dashed upstairs, with Ruka and Youichi following in his footsteps.

'YOU PERVERT!' The three heard, as they found themselves waiting outside of Natsume's door. 'HOW DARE YOU COME INTO THE ROOM NAKED!' The shrilly voice continued.

'This is my room polka-dots. I am not ashamed to walk into my room naked.' A deeper voice argued back.

'BUT THIS IS MY ROOM, UNTIL YOUICHI'S OLDER BROTHER COMES BACK!' The dumbfound girl continued to argue with a raised voice.

'I am Youichi's older brother,' The deep voice uttered in frustration.

'AND, HOW DO YOU THINK I WOULD KNOW THAT, YOU LOOK NOTHING ALIKE?!' Mikan's voice wailed.

'Who exactly do you think I am?' The boy growled.

'Are you not Shadow Man's son?' The girl questioned, confused as she could not help but find them both intimidating.

'Shadow man? Who the heck is that?' Natsume growled. Youichi decided to end this quarrel, grasped the handle of the door and opened it to reveal a still half-dressed Mikan, clutching the duvet pathetically against her chest and a towel-clad Natsume standing at the end of the bed. The other two males that stood beside him decided to flee the scene at the sight of an almost naked girl.

'YOUICHI, you knew I was in danger!' The girl cried, fluttering to the side of the young boy.

'Idiot, you're too easy to read.' Youichi grumbled at the sobbing girl. As Natsume rolled his ruby eyes and pulled his clothes to the bathroom to get changed into. Before the bathroom door closes, Natsume muttered about how useless women are.

'YOU PRICK, MEN ARE JUST AS USELESS!' Mikan retorted to the door. Pointing an accusing finger. 'HOW DARE YOU THINK THAT I AM USELESS, PERVERT!'

Youichi rolled his eyes at the bickering couple. He knew this would happen if he chose this idiot to live with him. But perhaps it will be better than having most of his Nanny's sleeping with his brother. He quickly turned to address a stunned Nanny that should have some breakfast for the big day.

'Idiot, stop screaming. We have to measure you and test you.' Youichi faced Mikan, she tilted her head in confusion.

'What test, and measures?' The dumbfound girl replied.

'For schooling. You need to go to school.' Youichi calmly stated.

'School? I can't.' Mikan muttered, feeling thrown out of her comfort zone, and she decided the floor was interesting.

'Why not?' The boy interrogated, watching her squirm.

'I do not have a middle school certificate.'

'You need private tutoring.' Youichi noted out loud.

She stared at him, 'I don't need you to spend money on me.'

'It is part of the deal. Mother will be signing a contract with you and we shall discuss what skills you will need to develop and education you need.' Youichi looked up at the girl as she pondered on what skills and education she needs to take care of him.

'Firstly, this household happens to speak several languages. It would be nice if you could understand, comprendo?' He smirked at her.

'Oh.' She deadpanned. 'Does that mean you'll teach me how to read minds?'

'Huh?'

'You always know what I'm thinking!' Her eyes widened at his apparently telepathic powers.

'You're like an open book.' Youichi face palmed. But couldn't help but smile.

Natsume burst out of the bathroom, fully clothed. 'Why are you kids still in my room,' he stated.

From the calm conversation between Youichi and Mikan, Mikan did an 180 degree change of character, hollering at the leaving red-eye teen 'I AM NOT A CHILD.'

The black hair boy smirked, 'Not what those colour polka-dots are stating,' he teased whilst slamming the door. The grey haired boy couldn't handle another one of his nanny's bellowing and followed after his older sibling. Behind the slammed door was a riveted girl, expressing her anger through screams that continued to echo through the Hyuuga Household.
