AUTHOR'S NOTES:

I decided to make Yumi say 'Milady' instead of the usual 'Ojou-sama' since in the previous or next chapter it will explain where Yumi lived and stayed during her fifteen years of age. Speaking of age, I also decided to make the age of the 1st year students will be 15 y/o, the 2nd year students will be 16 y/o and then, the 3rd year students will be 17.

Here is the edited CHAPTER TWO of She is my Master.

Enjoy.

CHAPTER TWO

Sachiko: "Milady she says…"

Lillian Private Girls' School was founded around 1902. It was originally created for the daughters of nobles, and is a traditional Catholic school for girls from high-class families. It has classes for kindergarten through college.

Soeur, this is a system at Lillian High School. If a girl accepts the rosary offered by an upperclassman, they become soeurs. Then, the older sister guides the younger one to, showing her how to lead a pure and proper school life.

Yamayurikai, Mountain Lily Council, the yamayurikai is Lillian's Student Council. Its leaders are the three Roses which all of the students wish they could all become. But before anything else for that matter, earlier today, the Yamayurikai went to its neighboring school, the Hanadera Boys' School, for a scheduled meeting regarding the upcoming school festival. It was always a tradition that both schools to help each other during events such as this.

Although today was a different day for the Yamayurikai…

Earlier at the Rose Mansion

"Why do you have to excuse yourself every time we go at Hanadera for a meeting?"

"I have legitimate reasons, Onee-sama." I explained as I looked at my rather miffed Grande Soeur, Mizuno Youko.

"What is it this time?" She asked. "It isn't one of those family gatherings, is it?" She questioned me in a different manner.

I knew she always meddle at some things but I never imagined that she can be like this. Before I could give a proper answer, I sighed, long and hard.

"Yes, Onee-sama, it is a family gathering just between me, my parents and some guest." I managed to say straight and calm. I wouldn't want to repeat myself now, would I?

"Did something happen?" Onee-sama asked, dropping her accusing tone moments ago.

"No, not that I know of… Mother called me to go home early since I have to particularly talk to my Father about something."

"I see… well, then, please say my regards to Sayako-Obaa-sama and Touru-Ojii-sama." Onee-sama said as she walked out of the Rose Mansion with me. "Gokigenyo, Sachiko." She added, giving me a small hug.

"Gokigenyo, Onee-sama" I said before my Onee-sama walked back inside the Rose Mansion.

It was the middle of autumn and, people were bustling in and out of the streets of Tokyo, making it busier by the moment. It was like it was not a common scene everyday but today seemed to be a different case.

"Excuse me, I don't mean to pry but, how come we're not moving at all?" I asked my chauffeur as I looked at the car's rear mirror then outside then back again to the car's rear mirror.

"I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience, Ojou-sama. I heard that a bank robbery and at the same time a hostage-taking occurred just near this area moments ago. And up until now it's still causing traffic, Ojou-sama." The chauffeur said.

"It's alright…" I said as I watched people bustling from left to right, making the busy streets of Tokyo more and more… busier.

My thoughts itself stopped when I heard a familiar tone coming from my pocket. I only realized that my cellphone was ringing with my mother's name flashing on its screen, asking me where I was and how come I was late for dinner.

"I'm sorry but something happened -" I tried to explain but suddenly Mother's voice cut me off.

"What happened?-!" She asked. Panic coursed through my Mother's voice.

"Nothing bad happened. I am just held up in traffic that is all, Mother."

"Are you sure nothing bad happened, Sachiko?" She asked and once again panic with a hint of worry was evident in Mother's voice.

"Yes, I am sure, Mother." I paused and looked out at the familiar surroundings. "Mother, I'm dropping the line now… I'm almost there." I said as I waited for a confirmation from the other line.

I noticed the familiar walls which shielded me during my sixteen years of age as I continued to look on. It ran long as far my eyes could see. But then, we suddenly stopped and I could hear my chauffeur say words of confirmation that the 'Young Mistress' of the house has arrive. The car slowly drove its way near the Main door of the Mansion.

Promptly, I walked inside and was greeted by several butlers and maids along the way. Then, just outside the lounge area I saw my mother on her way to greet me.

"Sachiko, you've missed dinner." My Mother said as she walked up to me and greeted me with a hug.

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again." I said with a bow like how a lady should do.

I was about to say something but a butler suddenly walked up to us, catching both of my mother's and my attention. "I'm sorry for the intrusion but Master wanted to see the Young Mistress in his office." The butler said.

I excused myself and promptly headed to my Father's office. Once I arrived, a servant, who was standing outside of the office, announced my arrival. - a lady never barge inside a room even if she is invited… - A small thought walked in my head before I enter my Father's office also known as his study room.

From the place I stood, I saw my Father and a girl… not just any ordinary girl. There was something different about her. Something I couldn't put my finger on. I stared at her as I listened to my Father introduce us.

"Yumi-chan, this is my daughter Sachiko. She's the one I've been telling you about." My Father said. Then, as he turned his attention towards me he added, "Sa-chan, this is Yumi. She will be your new bodyguard."

'A bodyguard?-! What in the world is Father thinking?' I screamed inside my head but then, I paused and calmed myself. "Bodyguard, you say?" I asked.

"Yes… She's going to be your bodyguard." My Father answered like it was common thing in the world.

"Are you even sure? Father, be reasonable! Look at her, she's small and I don't think she can even carry someone who's as big as you." I replied back. I didn't even care if my voice sounded angry or if the other girl heard me.

"I'm not going to listen to what you're going to say, Sachiko." This time, my Father used my name, as if, telling me 'this discussion is over young lady'.

"Fine, be that way!" I stormed out of the office and did not care where I was headed to. My thoughts were running fast… I did not even greet the servants that I passed through me while I was briefly walking on my own and completely out of it.

The moment I stopped from walking and wandering around, I noticed that I was not at my side of the mansion and I was still at the northern wall which was, of course, my Father's part of the mansion, the Main Wing. It was also the same moment when I remembered our previous discussion. 'Honestly, Father what were you thinking?' I sighed inwardly and decided to continue to walk again but this time, something was different. I nearly fell down the stairs that connected the second and third floor of the northern wall of the mansion.

"Milady, are you alright?" I heard someone asked. It was a girl's voice which I have not heard before. Slowly, I turned my head to see my protector. And just like moments ago, I saw the same girl but this time… I was able to see her much more up close. From there, I noticed the girl's big golden-brown eyes… they were clear and deep… the more I stare at it; the more I find myself staring at her golden-brown eyes, literally. That was the first then, second, her white soft skin. Third was her silky golden-brown hair though, it looked much darker than the color of her eyes. My gaze went down again and, this time, I paused as my gaze locked on her rosy lips. I only stop when I realize just how long must I have been gawking at the said girl.

I tried to refocus myself since it would seem unseemly to the girl behind me, after all, a lady should always be attentive with her surroundings as I thought to myself.

"T-Thank you, Yumi-san…" I managed to say.

"It's nothing." She said.

"Yumi-san, you can let go of me now." I said. And just what I told Yumi-san, the said girl did what she was told. Firmly and carefully, she let me go, letting me stand on my own two feet, and finally she said to me with a smile… "Next time, Milady, watch your step."

"R-right… Thank you again." I said as I looked at Yumi-san incredulously.

For a moment, I looked at the girl in front of me and just like back at Father's office, I thought that there was something different from Yumi-san. That difference once again was evident but I could not decipher what it was.

"Milady, is there something that you require my assistance with?" Yumi-san asked with a small smile on her lips.

"No, you may go now." I said as I managed to compose myself once again and, inwardly, thanking the lessons and training I've acquired before during my earlier years.

"Well, then, I'll excuse myself. Good night, Milady." Yumi-san said. Still, her smile was evident on her lips and after a few seconds she walked down the stairs living me standing from where I stood just moments ago.

The night was still up and apparently it was starting to become a long night. The first few hours of twisting and turning inside my room, I could not find myself asleep and, the reason…

'Milady…'

Immediately, I sat up from my bed as a particular voice rang through my head.

"Of all voices, honestly, why does it have to be hers?" I asked out loud.

'Milady…'

"Milady she says…" I sighed in a long and un-lady like sigh.

But as the thought moved on, I found myself smiling and, surprisingly, a little sleepy.
